Chapter 330 The Hungry Tiger of the Empire
"You guys, why don't you go to school quickly!"
Amid Mai Nishitsuji's scolding, the children turned around every step and left the temple reluctantly.
She turned her eyes to Qianyuan again, glanced at the small suitcase next to him, and said while leading the way in front:
"If you want to come over, you can at least notify me. Why are you coming back without saying a word?"
Hiroshi Chihara followed her and walked along the path made of bluestone slabs, and the rollers of the suitcase made a lot of noise.
He looked around and found that everything had not changed much from last year, and he actually felt a long-lost nostalgia.
"When you came here in March, didn't you notify me in advance?"
“So, is this the so-called ‘one reward for one reward’?”
Mai Nishitsuji opened the door of the house and found him a pair of slippers.
When changing shoes, Chihara Hiroshi looked into the room, but it was quiet.
Mai Nishitsuji, who was standing beside him, saw his purpose and teased:
"If you look for Xiao Shu, it would be a little late. She went to school half an hour ago."
Chihara Hiroshi had expected this situation, after all, it was almost 7:30 now, and it would take time to travel from Nishitsuji Dojo to Kamakura High School.
Seeing him paused, Mai Nishitsuji asked:
"Why, don't you plan to come in?"
Hiroshi Chihara placed his suitcase in the entrance hall and shook his head and said:
"How could it be?"
As he said that, he walked towards the living room, without hesitation, and took the initiative to sit on the sofa.
Mai Nishitsuji took out the dessert plate and poured a glass of water.
Hiroshi Chihara took the opportunity to ask:
"By the way, the group of children just now said that they were training kendo here, what's going on?"
Hearing this sentence, Mai Nishitsuji was slightly stunned, and then she showed some embarrassment, without a response for a moment.
Hiroshi Chihara asked again:
"What's wrong?"
Mai Nishitsuji spoke:
"Well, they are indeed here to train kendo, mainly to exercise their bodies, and I am their teacher..."
In the fourth section of Kendo, it is naturally more than enough to be an instructor.
Hiroshi Chihara nodded and did not delve into it.
Afterwards, Mai Nishitsuji asked in detail about the "Chess Road" magazine.
Hiroshi Chihara said it again, and the face-to-face explanation is undoubtedly more detailed.
Mai Nishitsuji's thin eyebrows slightly raised and said angrily:
"The Kansai Chess Club is a famous magazine after all, but it actually did such a thing! How about it? Did they say what to do?"
Hiroshi Chihara took the water and ate a piece of snack and said:
"I've made my request, and they should be replying soon."
Seeing him pick up another piece of snack, Mai Nishitsuji stood up and asked:
"Looking at how you are, you probably haven't had breakfast yet? If you don't dislike it was the leftovers from last night, just eat it with me."
Two minutes later, two meals were already on the table, each with a bowl of rice, a plate of fried chicken nuggets, and a plate of potato salad.
If it was the leftovers from last night, it would definitely refer to fried chicken nuggets, and the potato salad was obviously made this morning.
Last year, Hiroshi Chihara had had dinner in the dojo several times, so he did not refuse the other party's invitation.
When sitting at the dining table, at some point, Mai Nishitsuji had already changed into a kendo uniform and put on her usual clothes.
Chihara Hiroshi began to eat in big mouthfuls.
Because it was a temporary idea, he seemed very hurrying to arrive at the airport last night and when buying tickets. He was already hungry.
While eating, he did not forget to ask about the situation:
"Have you got used to going to and from school by yourself?"
In May, Chihara Sabu mentioned this to him.
Mai Nishitsuji's eating movements were very elegant, but if you look closely, you could see that the speed of food on her plate disappeared was not much slower than Hiroshi Chihara.
She wiped her mouth with a napkin and said:
"Well, it's been a few months. I'll follow you in the first two weeks, but then I feel relieved."
Hiroshi Chihara couldn't help feeling a little ashamed:
I only pay the other party 100,000 yen per month, but how can I express the thoughts the other party spends?
Seeing that he was a little confused, Mai Nishitsuji asked:
"What's wrong? Is the food not in your appetite?"
Chihara Hiroshi hurriedly said:
"Where is it!"
After hesitating for a moment, he expressed his thoughts and offered:
"Miss Nishitsuji, otherwise, a little more than 100,000 yen?"
A hint of anger appeared on Mai Nishitsuji's face, but then she seemed to think of something and calmed down again, saying:
"If the debts of the dojo have not been paid off, I might have been interested, but now, Chihara, don't mention this matter again!"
Hiroshi Chihara said:
"But food and accommodation are all here, and it is definitely not just food and accommodation. If it is only one hundred thousand yen a month..."
What he meant was that his current deposit was very surplus, and his future bonus expectations would never be small. Even if he doubled the 100,000 yen, there would be no burden.
After talking about it, Mai Nishitsuji felt a little impatient and said directly:
"Chenhara, I'm not short of money now, and I'm helping you take care of my sister. Besides the one hundred thousand yen, there are other rewards!"
"Any other reward?"
"Didn't you just ask why there is kendo training in the morning?"
Hiroshi Chihara nodded blankly, not understanding the reason why the other party mentioned this.
A rare blush appeared on Mai Nishitsuji's face, and she said:
"Uh, I actually used you as a promotion..."
Chihara Hiroshi said strangely:
"But I don't know how to kendo, what's the use of using me as a propaganda?"
"Look, aren't you often seen replenishing chocolate after the game? And in your only game when you lost to senior Zhao Zhixun, you were also photographed by a reporter who went out to replenish chocolate midway..."
"so?"
Mai Nishitsuji coughed and continued:
"Actually, you also have the title of "Kansai Hungry Tiger" in Osaka, but you are not famous for other titles. I use you as a promotion mainly to show the impact of insufficient physical strength on the chess players..."
Only then did Chihara Hiroshi understand:
It turns out that I am being used as a negative example to promote...
Seeing that he didn't make a sound for a moment, Mai Nishitsuji asked with some trepidation:
"Chenhara, you won't be angry, are you?"
Chihara Hiroshi drank all the water in the water cup, sighed with satisfaction, and replied:
"You misunderstood, how could I get angry about such a trivial matter?"
Mai Nishitsuji breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Well, just don't get angry!"
However, immediately afterwards, she heard the other party propose an incredible request:
"Miss Nishitsuji, when I came here this morning, I heard that Osaka will hold an international marathon?"
"Well, that's the case."
"I have never participated in such a competition. Miss Nishitsuji, can you try it with me?"
"But... are you stamina-free?"
"It's okay. If it doesn't work, can't you give up at any time?"
As the fourth kendo section, Mai Nishitsuji naturally has outstanding physical strength, so she nodded confidently and said:
"Don't worry, if you really want to experience it, I will take care of you tomorrow!"
Hiroshi Chihara smiled, his tone was meaningful:
Chapter completed!
