If you get lost on the love map

Chapter 10 Sandwiches cause a storm

Running all the way, Nazuhiko quickly reached his destination.

Shimizu Chika's house is closer to the convenience store than Naizukahiko's rented house.

It is also a block away, a Norazaka.

In other words, it would be another tragic event if Nazukahiko was a little slower and accidentally aroused Yu Himuro's curiosity, and then the girl noticed her whereabouts.

After cautiously looking back for a while, and after confirming that Yuu Himuro did not appear, Naizuka finally stood in front of the door with the address written on the note.

He tapped three times, and before he could react, the door was pushed open.

"I'm sorry, I don't have a TV at home, and I don't need to pay the TV station. Please don't harass me again!" Shimizu Qianxia walked out of the door wearing a light gray sweater, a dark black long skirt, and her long brown hair was casually tied with a hair tie. aside.

It's pretty standard home dressing.

But compared to yesterday's somewhat natural performance, there is more gentleness and tolerance.

However, her movements are obviously not very gentle.

She opened the door, bowed deeply, and after speaking, the girl immediately pulled the door handle, trying to close the door forcefully, so as not to give the phantom TV station a chance to harass her—she didn't even look who was outside the door. .

"Miss Shimizu, it's me, Naizukahiko." Naizukahiko reluctantly blocked the door and pointed to himself, "I'm here to get the loan back."

"Ah, Naizuka-san..." Shimizu Qianxia's movements paused.

The moment she looked up and saw Naizukahiko's face, she lowered her head again embarrassedly, "I thought it was the person in charge of urging money from the TV station... They have been knocking on my door for two weeks in a row, and it's this time every day. I just thought it was…”

"Miss Shimizu doesn't need to explain, I understand." Naizuka Yan nodded again and again.

Seeing Shimizu Qianxia keep apologizing and bowing, he was a little uncomfortable.

Is it because Izumi Yuzuki and Hiimuro Yuu's performance didn't go in a similar direction at all?
"Nazuka-san please come in, I'll take out the money soon." The girl opened the door and made a "please" gesture.

"No, no, I still have something to do, and I'll be leaving soon." Naizuka Yan quickly shook his head and refused.

"Hey, Naizuka-san came here at this time, shouldn't he have already finished get off work?" Shimizu Qianxia's slightly ashamed expression filled with doubts.

The bright sunlight fell on her face, making her skin fair and clear.

"No, I haven't gotten off work yet." Naizuka Yan briefly explained, "After taking the money from Miss Shimizu, I have to go back to the store."

"Do you want to buy breakfast in the store?" Shimizu Qianxia guessed to herself, "Nazuka-san wait a moment!"

Without waiting for Naizukahiko to reply, she turned around and entered the room, leaving Naizukahiko standing at the door alone.

In just a second or two, the wind outside the house suddenly became stronger, blowing the leaves around, a messy scene.

In desperation, Nazuhiko could only walk into the girl's house and hide the door.

Within half a minute, the girl reappeared in front of his eyes.

"Here is the [-] yen I borrowed yesterday, Naizuka-san." Shimizu Chika handed over Fukuzawa Yukichi wrapped in a tissue.

"And this, Naizuka-san." Before Naizuka Yan could respond, or had any more thoughts, the girl handed over another thing.

"This is?" Nazukahiko was puzzled for a moment when he looked at the object wrapped in greaseproof paper and in the shape of an equilateral right-angled triangle.

"Ah, it's the sandwich I just made." Shimizu Qianxia replied with a smile, "I just made it, and before I could eat it, Nazuka-san came knocking on the door."

"Can Miss Shimizu's share?"

"I wanted to be lazy today and eat sandwiches at noon... But since Naizuka-san hasn't had breakfast yet, should the extra portion be handed over to Naizuka-san to destroy?" The girl's voice rose slightly, with Naizuka-san An inescapable kindness.

"Then... it's better to be respectful than to obey." Naizukahiko no longer hesitated and took the sandwich, "Thank you, Miss Shimizu."

Without warning, the panel that had not shown its presence for a long time jumped out.

"Love Map Update"

"New Map: Exclusive to Chika Shimizu"

Another map?
Nazuhiko was a little surprised.

But this time, it was just an accident. After all, it has been experienced twice before, and it is nothing to do it again.

And the girl is about to become a colleague with him, maybe it will be more convenient to complete the task.

Things like experience points and skill points are always better.

Only this time, the panel just told him the updated content, but no new tasks were released.

Presumably it hasn't progressed to an important node yet, so there's nothing to do?
Nazukahiko and Shimizu Qianxia said their goodbyes to themselves, and took Fukuzawa Yukichi in the tissue, holding the sandwich and walking towards the convenience store.

Then, in Norasaka, he met Yuu Hiimuro who was still there.

"Hoshiro-san?" Naizuka said hello, seeing that the girl was still squatting and observing the wild cats in different postures, resting and playing.

"Hmm..." Yuu Hiroshima replied carelessly, stood up, and noticed the sandwich in his hand.

When he walked out of Shimizu Chika's house, Naizukahiko was really hungry, so he opened the greaseproof paper and took two bites.

"Where did the sandwich in Nazuka-kun's hand come from?" The girl looked puzzled, "What did you just say, was it to buy a sandwich to eat?"

But this doesn't make sense at all, because the variety of sandwiches in the convenience store will only be more complete, not to mention that Nazukahiko, as a clerk, will have a certain discount when buying sandwiches.

Nazukahiko looked at the sandwich that had already taken two bites in his palm and turned into a strange shape, and his back was a little cold.

What the hell is he thinking?After one night's shift, his thinking has become so stagnant that he can forget about this kind of thing in a blink of an eye?

Even if you're on the road after eating a sandwich...why do you go back to the convenience store while you eat?
Alright now, I haven't finished eating the sandwich, and I was even seen by the ice room classmates, how should I explain it?
Nazukahiko felt cold sweat ooze out from his forehead.

Forget it, let's be honest, hiding this kind of thing, if the ice room classmates find out later, the consequences should be more serious.

Holding a more or less mentality of breaking the jar, Nazukahiko took another bite with a calm expression, "Last night when I was on the night shift at the convenience store, a customer didn't bring enough money, so he asked me to borrow one. [-] yen."

"So, Naizuka-kun just went to get the borrowed money back, and the sandwich is the other party's thank you?" Yuu Hiimuro made up the logic chain very smoothly.

"That's right." Nazukahiko took another bite and put on a "normal look on this matter", "Himuro-san is really smart."

"Naizuka-kun praised me so bluntly, I always feel that there are other intentions." The girl looked at him and scrutinized him.

"No, it's just because the other party is a girl, so I'm afraid that Hiroshima classmates will misunderstand." Nazukahiko finished the sandwich in one mouthful, and clapped his hands in a pretentious manner.

"I misunderstood? Nazuka-kun thinks... What am I going to misunderstand?"

Nazuhiko looked at the girl.

Her expression looked simply bewildered, but Naizukahiko wasn't sure if it was a trap—Yu Himuro six years ago wouldn't be able to, and Yuma Himuro six years later... Judging from yesterday, it might be.

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Nazukahiko waved his hands again and again, "I'll go back to the convenience store first... By the way, did Hiashiro-san have breakfast?"

"Not yet." The girl shook her head gently, her untied black hair fluttering lightly in the spring breeze, "When I went out, Miss Quan hadn't gotten up yet."

"So, Hiashiro-san is waiting for me to make breakfast?" Naizukahiko stopped and turned around helplessly.

When he was in Kyoto, he would live at the Hiashiro's house from time to time, and would sometimes prepare breakfast with Yuhirohiro's mother.

With the culinary skills he has honed for more than 20 years, it may be difficult to conquer the experienced diners, but it is still very simple to satisfy the girl.

Therefore, as long as Naizukahiko stayed in the house, Yuu Hiimuro would sit at the table and look expectantly at Naizukahiko who came downstairs and rubbed his eyes.

The subsequent development, needless to say.

"No, Naizuka-kun has been busy all night, how could I make such an excessive request." Naizukahiko, who had returned to his thoughts, saw the girl turn her head and look aside.

The sun is shining brightly, and the spring breeze is rising.The girl's skirt danced lightly, and her hands tucked her hair around her ears, creating a perfect silhouette.

He was still a little nervous and a little heavy just now, but suddenly relaxed.

"Wait a minute, Hiimuro-kun, things like rice balls and bread are indispensable even as raw materials." Naizukahiko also looked aside.

The green grass on the hill is lush, and the flowers of various colors are blooming, overflowing with the breath of spring.

"When I get home, wait until I see what ingredients are in the kitchen and try to make something."

After speaking, before the girl could respond, Naizuka Yan walked towards the convenience store on his own.

The girl stared blankly at his retreating back, and after a long while, she showed a shallow smile.

"Nazuka-kun, you haven't changed."

……

Back at the convenience store, Naizukahiko returned the debt, paid off the discounted rice balls and bread, and only then did Fukuzawa Yukichi take good care of Izumi Yuzuki.

After thinking for a moment, he returned to the cashier and bought two cups of Oden.

If you don't have the conditions to make miso soup at home, it is a good choice to make a living with Oden soup.

"Speaking of which, since I came to Tokyo... No, even in Kyoto, I haven't had a hot breakfast for a long time." On the way back, Nazukahiko held a cup of oden in one hand and rice balls and bread in the other. The plastic bag, with a slightly emotional tone.

"Naizuka-kun... Was it so hard when you were still in Kyoto?" Yu Himuro also held a cup of oden, and was silent for a long time before he answered his words.

"Himuro-san thinks too much, but that's not enough." Nazukahiko smiled, "Originally, after graduating from Nangao, I should go to Kyoto University."

"Then why..."

"About half a month ago, when I came home from work, I found that my savings had been stolen. Although the police caught the thief later, he also spent all the money..." Nazuhiko said helplessly, "At that time, If I go to work and make money, I am afraid that I will not be able to pay the tuition fees of Nangao.”

"So Naizuka-kun chose to come to Tokyo without even thinking of looking for me?"

"Indeed not." Nazukahiko nodded and looked at Yuu Himuro, "But it's not because I don't want to contact classmate Heimuro, but because Professor Heimuro will definitely use this to do something again."

"So it is." The girl exhaled softly, looking a little more relaxed.

Glancing at the girl's expression, Naizukahiko also relaxed a little.

From the current point of view, the reunion process between him and Yu Himuro went smoothly, and the conflict between the two was resolved quickly.

If things go on like this, it will definitely not be a problem to get back the childhood sweetheart.

Still thinking, the panel suddenly popped up.

"Daily Mission Update"

"Please choose a woman who has spoken ten or more sentences before today, hold her hand for three seconds, or stare into her eyes for ten seconds"

"Mission reward: 2 experience points"

"Current EXP: LV2 (98/100)"

The moment Nazukahiko saw the words, he almost scolded.

He really needs those two points of experience very much now, but this wonderful panel, the tasks given a few days ago can still be completed normally, and today suddenly gave him a death task.

Pick a woman, that's fine.

Izumi Yuyue, Hiroshima Yu, and even Shimizu Chika, all had no problem.

If he had a private jet, he could go back to Kyoto directly, go to the kind aunts who used to take good care of him, hold their hands and talk about interesting things.

But the problem is...he doesn't have it?
The people who can choose now are Izumi Yuzuki, Himuro Yu, and Shimizu Chika.

Three to choose one, there is no other way.

Of course, the daily tasks were not compelled to complete, but Nazukahiko didn't think he could endure it when he could level up with only two experience points.

Quan Youyue?
Give Fukuzawa Yukichi back to her, then hold her hand for three seconds, or look her in the eyes for ten seconds?
Nazuhiko felt that he would be punched.

Hiroshima Yu?
There's nothing wrong with shaking hands or looking at each other, but the problem is, if he does it... Then last night's sentence "starting from a friend again?"

What will Yuu Himuro think of him?

Shimizu Chika?

Considering the girl's character, maybe she is the right person?
In embarrassment, Nazuhiko returned home.

Quan Youyue was not in the living room, apparently not getting up yet.

"Himuro-kun, let's take a rest first, I'll see what I can prepare." Taking the Oden from the girl's hands, Nazuhiko walked into the kitchen and began to look at the utensils inside.

It's been five days since he's been in the house, and he hasn't been into the kitchen once.

"Nazuka-kun...do you need help?" Yuu Hiimuro's words came from outside the kitchen.

"Help?" Nazukahiko repeated.

"Well." The girl's cold voice came again.

"Forget it..." Just as Nazukahiko wanted to refuse, he suddenly remembered the girl's previous performance.

When he was still in Kyoto and helping to prepare breakfast at the girl's house, the girl used to want to go into the kitchen together.

It was only because of her father's stern resistance that she had to sit back at the dinner table with pursed lips.

"Okay, Hiashiro-san, come in." Thinking of this, Naizukahiko changed his words naturally, "However, everything should be safety first, don't be arrogant."

"Ah."
