Soya and Akane Kirino came back after walking their dogs, and it was already dark.
Fortunately, dinner is easy to prepare, it is nothing more than cooking meat with a pot. There are no complicated steps. The rice is cooked in advance before coming back.
There was almost only the beef and pork that Yue Du bought in the refrigerator. In order to balance nutrition, Akane Kirino turned on the lamp and Soya went to the vegetable field in the backyard to pick some vegetables.
Dinner was so simple that there was only one cooking pot on the table, but the content was very rich - at least there was a lot of meat.
The four of them were satisfied with the hot and the heat spreading with the water vapor spreading in the cooking pot.
"I wish there was an air conditioner here, too." Akane Kirino said this for some time.
I have been sleeping in a hotel in the past few days and suddenly returned to the old house with only electric fans. Zong Gu was very suspicious that he would be too hot to sleep at night. "I had this plan before: I wanted to install a few air conditioners here.
”
“Eh?”
Akane Kirino was stunned for a moment, and then agreed, "Okay."
"I wonder if Mr. Kirino and Miss Keiko will agree."
After all, it is an old house that is 60 or 70 years old. Installing air conditioners may require some modification, such as lines, or some wall structures need to be reinforced.
More importantly, this is the house of the Kirino family. The decision-making power belongs to Akane Kirino's uncle who has gone abroad, but is actually in the hands of the Kirino and his wife.
"Why don't you agree?" Akane Kirino asked back, and then told him confidently: "It's absolutely fine."
Soya also felt that the problem was not big, but Miss Kirino was useless and had to wait for her parents to agree before he could arrange the relevant matters.
"After you go home tonight, remember to mention this matter to them. If possible, you can find someone to come to install it tomorrow."
"No." Akane Kirino shook her head back and forth, "I won't go back tonight."
He put down the quickie at Wuling.
Zong Gu glanced at her and then said, "You said just now that it's very hot here."
"It's very hot, but it's not as good as not being able to sleep. I've been sleeping here for half a summer vacation."
"Then let's talk about it tomorrow."
"Isn't it better to just make a call?" Kirino Akane took out his cell phone, "Although this shop is a little busy, there should still be time to answer the phone."
She called, and Zonggu, who had already eaten half full, burned another slice of meat, and watched while eating.
"Mom...oh, nothing is wrong... Listen to me, Zong Gu has returned from the northeast. He wants to install a central air conditioner in his old house..."
"——Ordinary air conditioner." Zong Gu had to speak to correct it. He didn't mention the word "central air conditioner" at all, and I don't know how she thought of it.
"Oh, it's an ordinary air conditioner... Hey, supper? Almost finished... Hey? Hey--"
The phone hung up.
Seeing that her face was not right, Zong Gu was a little surprised, "Miss Keiko refused?"
"No, my mother ignored this matter and said that the store is very busy today. I asked me... to go to the store to help now."
“…”
Zong Gu looked at her side, "I'm letting you go there alone."
"It's me and Soya." Akane Kirino picked up the cup to cover her face.
I can only go to Kyoko again tomorrow during the day, Soya thought.
"All right."
I happened to discuss the installation of air conditioners with Kirino and his wife. After all, it was proposed by him, so it would be better to have a face-to-face communication.
The dinner has been almost done now, and Yuedu and Asakiri have put down the quicksense. They cleaned up the dining table a little, and Soya prepared to wash the pot and dishes after they came back in the evening.
"We'll go out first, don't wait for me."
He looked at him at Wuling, "Where are you taking a shower, are you going to wait for you?"
“…”
Akane Kirino glanced at this side.
"Ling and Confinement First." Zong Gu was a little overwhelmed, and he knew very well that she was deliberately teasing, "It's okay to keep hot water or not."
"Um."
They went to the backyard to ride a bicycle, then took Akane Kirino, and the two of them rushed to the Izakaya Rakuen Ting in the dark.
The shadow on the ground was getting shorter and longer, and the bicycle turned around. Akane Kirino held his waist, stabilized his body, and suddenly laughed.
"I feel like I've gotten home from get off work, but I've been called back to work overtime at the company."
"It seems like you've been to work."
"Haha, there are often such scenes in TV series, right?"
Zong Gu stepped on the pedal, "I haven't passed the protagonist's initiative to call the boss, and then I'm called back to work overtime."
Akane Kirino patted him on his back, "This shows that life is much more exciting than TV series."
"Whatever you say is reasonable."
"Hmph."
She felt happy for no reason.
"Zonggu."
"What."
Sitting behind, Akane Kirino looked up along his ridge, with a brilliant galaxy above his head.
"There are so many stars."
Zong Gu looked up and felt that what she wanted to say should be more than that.
"Um."
After riding all the way, the two of them walked through the bustling street at this time and came to the entrance of the alley where Lequan Pavilion was located.
“…”
Still slowing down, Soya saw a white business car parked on the roadside. The words "Fuyun Shrine" on the side were extremely eye-catching.
"Songya's colleagues are here today, too." Akane Kirino also noticed.
"Um."
Zong Gu stopped the bike and asked her to get off first.
Akane Kirino waited at the door and walked into the store with him.
Kirino Keiko, who was busy at the bar, immediately looked over. She was not surprised to see Soya behind her daughter, but looked at a certain location in the store.
“…”
Zong Gu also looked over and was stunned for a moment.
He greeted Kirino and his wife, and he walked straight over and smiled as the witches looked at each other, "Good evening."
Then there is a separate greeting, "Kyoko."
"Student Fangming..."
Kyoko put down the glass in her hand, and accident and joy rose slightly on the corners of her lips, "You are here."
"Well, the store seems to be quite busy."
Soya nodded and looked at Noma Nan, who was closest to him, "Why are you here again?"
"Are you doing this to your guests?" She held the skewers, "Beware that I'll complain to you."
He doesn't care, "You complain."
"Stupid boy." Noma Nan bit a piece of chicken, "I brought Kyoko here today."
Soya looked at Kyoko again, "Don't force yourself to come over. If you are harassed in the workplace, you can write a complaint letter to the institution."
Noma Nan glared over and she smiled, "It's not a force."
"Kyoko is very lonely at home alone. I said she might have met Soya, so she agreed." Noma Nan said, "Look, I did meet you."
The two looked at each other, and Kyoko shook her head.
Soya looked at the bar again. Akane Kirino was moving very quickly, and had already changed into her uniform and stood there. "I decided to come here more than ten minutes ago."
"Anyway, I met it. Soya came back in the afternoon? Why didn't I come to the shrine?"
“A little busy.”
"Thank you for your hard work." Noma Nan picked up the cup that had already seen the bottom and shook it at him, "Everything is all."
Zong Gu nodded and didn't say much.
"What..." Huajing looked at the two of them, "Are you talking about a secret code?"
"No, no." Noma Nan began to call Soya, "Don't stand, don't you see my cup empty? Come and get a beer."
"You want money."
"Don't say such boring words."
"Are you sure you can drink? I saw a car parked outside."
“Mayouri can drive.”
"Hey, I won't open..."
"Okay, okay."
Bypassing Kyoko, briefly shook her hand, Soya returned to the bar, "I'll make a beer."
Picking up the cup and then the beer, Akane Kirino looked at the witches a few times.
"Senior sister has come here too, it's really rare."
"Yeah." Soya looked at the cup, "Kyoko's family has gone out for a trip. Recently, they often have dinner with them."
Perhaps what Noma Nan said was true. She was inevitably a little lonely when she stayed alone. She had been rejected by the izakaya dinner, which she had rejected in the past, and today she was half-rejected and half-placed.
"Hey, family travel...but was the senior sister left behind?"
"It's not considered being left behind... Someone must stay in the shrine. It's going to be full."
Akane Kirino was a little unacceptable, "If my parents went out for a trip, I would never stay--aaaa."
The full beer flowed out.
"I just reminded you."
"I didn't pay attention...Songgu will go and change his clothes first, I'll send them there."
Zonggu nodded, "Okay."
After rubbing the beer that flowed to his hands, Akane Kirino picked up the wine glass and delivered it to the witches' table.
"Teacher Noma."
"Oh, Kirino."
Noma Nan took the beer and looked at her again, "It turns out that it's even more happy to be served by the beautiful girl."
"Thank you..." Akane Kirino smiled and looked at Kyoko again, "Welcome to senior sister Guanyuan."
"Hello, Kirino."
"This is the first time I've been here."
Kyoko nodded, "First."
Akane Kirino looked at her cup, and there was just ordinary ice water inside.
"Do you want something to drink? Even if you can't drink alcohol, we still have a lot of non-alcoholic drinks here."
"Thank you, no need."
"All right."
Soya soon changed his uniform and was immediately called by Kirino Keiko, "The skewers on the No. 2 table, and a glass of draft beer."
"OK."
He sent the skewers and took them back to the wine glass. Soya took a large glass of draft beer, and Akane Kirino also returned to the bar.
"I feel like my senior sister is a little unwilling to let go."
"No, Kyoko is like that." Soya delivered the beer to table 2, and after returning to the bar, he said, "Just treat it normally."
"oh."
"Brother——"
There are guests greeting each other.
"Here you come."
Soya immediately went over, Kirino Akane looked at him, and then looked at the table of witches.
Some senior sisters who are "unable to let go" are also staring at the busy Zong Gu at this time.
"——So beautiful." Kirino Keiko came over at some point, "That witch lady."
"……Mother."
"He is tall and has a good temperament. He looks very obedient and sensible. In some aspects, he is probably a little smarter than my daughter." She looked at Kyoko over there, "No wonder Soya wandered around her as soon as she came in."
Akane Kirino curled her lips, "Because they are all Soya's colleagues."
"Is it just that?"
Kirino Keiko glanced at her daughter, then looked at Soya who was recording on the order book, "I always feel that Soya is closer to her."
Akane Kirino stopped talking.
Zong Gu quickly returned to the bar, "The guests at Table 1 asked for a chowder, a skewer of beef tongue, a skewer of butter-dried scallops, two skewers of yakitori, and another cup...what happened?"
He raised his gaze and found that Kirino and his daughter inside were looking at him.
"Nothing." Kirino Keiko shook her head and took the list in his hand. "I heard from Akane that Soya wants to install air conditioners in the old house?"
"Yes."
"I have no problem here. But now I'm a little busy. Let's talk about this when there are fewer customers in the store."
"OK."
After conveying the needs of the guests on Table 1 to her husband, Kirino Keiko turned around and took a bottle of sake.
"Ms. Anda is here."
She signaled to Zong Gu to the middle-aged woman who had just sat down in the corner of the bar, "Zong Gu should know her, pour her a glass of sake."
"OK."
Zong Gu took the bottle, and she looked at her daughter again and asked her to follow her with the wine glass and wine.
"Ms. Anda, long time no see."
"Oh, Fangfang! So long, no, see you-you seem to have been a little tanned. Have you been to the beach during the summer vacation?"
The other party is a regular customer in the store, but he has come fewer recently. No matter how many times she calls her, Zong Gu still feels uncomfortable.
"Yes... I went to Kyushu some time ago."
"Are you with Xiao Qian?" Ms. Anda smiled at Akane Kirino behind him.
"Yes, we went to Nagasaki, Kumamoto and Kagoshima." Akane Kirino put down the wine in front of her and put the wine glass in it. "I've been playing there for several days."
“It’s really good.”
Zong Gu poured wine in, and the clear wine quickly overflowed and flowed from the cup to the wine outside.
He stopped until the wine was almost full, "Please use it."
"Thank you. And..."
"Do you need to add salt?"
"That's right."
Soya turned around and Kirino Keiko at the bar had handed out the small plate containing fine salt.
"Just give it to me."
Ms. Anda took the salt plate and put it aside. Kirino Keiko personally brought a few dishes to serve.
"Long time no see, has Ms. Anda been abroad recently?"
"Yes. My son is in Italy..."
There is no matter about Soya and Akane Kirino. He took the wine bottle and walked back into the bar, and suddenly saw Noma Nan waving to him.
He picked up the order book and went there again.
"Pour me a glass of sake, just like before, Fang Fang."
"Don't shout like this... It's disgusting."
Noma Nan was dissatisfied, "The aunt just now was so loud that she could hear it outside. Why didn't you talk about her?"
"Ms. Anda is a regular customer in the store, and she often brings her friends over, and she is also very generous when consuming."
"I'm an old customer, too."
"It's not as good as someone else's."
Soya looked at Kyoko again, the cup in front of her was almost empty, "Do you want a glass of orange juice?"
She nodded, "Okay."
"And my sake," said Noma Nan.
"I really want it?"
"What are you doing?" She raised her eyebrows and leaned against her, "Today, Mayou treats her."
Hua Jing shook his head and waved his hand again, asking him to drink as much as possible.
He poured Kyoko a glass of orange juice first and took the wine glass over. Soya asked, "What kind of sake do you want?"
“Don’t you recommend it.”
He thought for a moment, "Zou Nochi's Chunmi Ginjo?"
"How about it?"
"The aroma is very pure, and it is brewed with Yamada Nishiki rice. The taste is perfect and balanced, and the taste is very comfortable."
Noma Nan looked at him in surprise, "You know a lot."
"I just chose one I remember." Soya was honest.
"Then let's do this."
Go back to the bar and add a glass of sake to the witches' bills, then find Zuo Chi-kumi Miinjo, and Soya pours a full glass of glass for her.
"Do you want to add salt or sugar?"
Noma Nan took a sip of sake, pursed her lips and savored it for a while, and said, "No need. I'm not that pretentious."
Zong Gu held the wine bottle and unconsciously protected the old customer on the other side, "It's so ugly."
"Why do you need to add salt?" asked Kobayashi, who was sitting opposite him.
"Some people think that adding salt can enhance the aroma and taste of sake." Noma Nan shook his head, "I think it's entirely a psychological effect."
"Anan must have tried it before saying this." Huajing said.
She shrugged her shoulders and did not deny it.
"Do you add it directly to the wine?" Kobayashi was a little curious.
"No." Sonoya pointed to the corner of the wine, "Just add it to the wine. When the wine in the cup is finished, then drink it with the wine in the wine."
Kobayashi looked at the wine, "I want to try..."
Holding the bottle, Soya smiled, "Why not? A glass of sake is only 600 yen."
"bring it on!"
"Hold on."
He went to get new wine glasses and wine.
“Wow…”
Noma Nan looked at Soya's back, "Is this guy the most suitable job is a bartender? As long as you smile, girls will keep taking out money."
"I really want to try the way to add salt..." Kobayashi was not confident.
Huajing picked up a branch bean, "If you really have this magic, you can do anything the same."
"Men is too dangerous." Noma Nan shook his head.
"Only Anan feels that way. And you are much more dangerous than ordinary men."
"oops……"
Zong Gu quickly returned here, poured a glass of wine, and brought a small plate of fine salt over.
He twisted a little with his fingers and put it on the corner of the wine that Noma Nan had already drunk, demonstrating for her, "Just like this, the amount of salt is up to you."
Kobayashi nodded, indicating that she had understood and then tried it directly.
"When will Soya be busy in the store?" Noma Nan asked suddenly.
"It's over eleven o'clock." Soya said, "It'll be a little late in summer."
“Um…”
She looked at Kyoko, "It's not too late, right? It's almost the same when I sleep."
Kyoko nodded subconsciously.
"good."
Noma Nan closed his hands together, "Then we will go back later. Kyoko stays here and wait for Soya to get off work, so he will take you home."
"Didn't you not see each other for several days? It's just right to chat."
“Hey…”
Soya turned his head, and Akane Kirino stood beside him with a plate of grilled goods, looking at him with both eyes.
