Chapter 24 Messing around and diverting attention are rare and good ways
Sunday, March 21st.
Probably because he went to bed early and had a disrupted work and rest schedule due to his night shift, Natsuka got up quite early.
I opened my eyes and glanced at the alarm clock on the table. It was only a little before five in the morning.
Sitting up as usual, Nazukahiko glanced around the room habitually, and then fixed his gaze on Izumi Yuzuki.
The morning sun had not yet risen, so Nazukahiko could only slightly see the outline of her face.
After watching for a moment, Nazukahiko shook his head and laughed softly.
Last night, after he said that he had no objection to Izumi Yuyue eating rice balls, the girl stood up with the rice balls, ran back to the room as fast as possible, and closed the door.
And he also left an angry sentence: "Natsukahiko, you are not allowed to come in before I finish eating the rice balls!".
As a result, Nazukahiko was wearing thin clothes and waited in the living room for a full thirty minutes before Izumi Yuzuki let him into the room again.
If he hadn't been in good health, he might have caught a cold in these thirty minutes.
Moreover, after letting him into the room, the girl just covered herself with a quilt and faced the door, unwilling to say a word.
Natsuka Hiko, who still wanted to discuss some voice acting matters with the girl, had no choice but to give up the idea and simply wait until next time to ask Ishihara Takakan for more information.
Looking at the still dark sky outside the window, he got out of bed, carefully crossed the girl, and stopped again.
It's not that he wants to do something shameful, but he is considering whether he should put Izumi Youyue on the bed to make her sleep more comfortably.
Forget it, it doesn't matter if you are called a pervert when the time comes, as long as you live up to yourself.
Seeing the girl sleeping peacefully, Nazukahiko made up his mind, bent down and picked up the girl.
"Miss Quan... I feel lighter than I thought." He shook his head gently and sent Quan Youyue to the bed. He reached out and covered her with the quilt before turning around to put on her clothes and go out.
The girl was still sleeping peacefully and didn't notice at all.
…
When Himuroyu woke up again, the sun was shining into the room and fell on her face, which was a bit dazzling.
The girl closed her eyes subconsciously and quickly opened them again.
Her memory of last night only included the scene where she stood up to question Nazukahiko, then turned around and left, about to fall down.
Then, it's blank.
No...it wasn't completely blank. Someone seemed to have caught her at that time and prevented her from hitting the ground.
Is it Nazuka-kun?
Himuroyu sat up and looked at the sunlight entering the room, feeling a little angry and a little sad.
When she met Nazukahiko again, she had never thought of speaking to Nazukahiko in such a tone and with such emotions.
But last night her emotions surged, and she couldn't control herself no matter what.
It can only be said that the sudden fainting may have helped her to control her emotions.
At least now when she sees Nazuka Hiko, she won't be so angry and won't think of questioning him directly.
Regardless of the fact that she still had a headache, the girl got out of bed and walked out of the room - after a day, although her body was still a little weak, she could at least move on her own.
It's just that the speed will be a little slow and the movements will be a little uncoordinated.
In the living room, Nazukahiko has been holding his own copy of "Three Kingdoms" and reading it for nearly two hours.
Hearing the sound of the room door opening, he put down his book and walked to the corridor.
Himuro Yu, who was still looking a little weak, heard the footsteps and saw him.
Neither of them spoke immediately.
"Himuro-kun, you're awake, how are you feeling?" In the end, it was Nazukahiko who smiled first.
Doesn't he want to talk about his questioning last night?
Or did he not care at all?
Himuro Yu had many thoughts in his mind, but all that came to his lips was "Good morning, Nazuka-kun."
"I don't have a good morning. I went to bed too early yesterday, and my night shift work disrupted my schedule. As a result, I woke up at around five o'clock this morning." Nazukahiko seemed to have completely ignored the girl's performance and was minding his own business.
He became chatty, "Where's Himuro-san? How did you sleep last night?"
Hearing such a stupid question, even Himuro Yu who was not in a bright mood couldn't help but take a closer look at Nazuka Hiko.
"What's wrong, Himuro-san, is there something wrong with my face? Why are you looking at me like that?" Nazukahiko looked at the girl with a surprised expression, "Or is there something wrong with my clothes?"
No, not at all, something is wrong with me.
The girl shook her head slightly and did not answer. She just walked to the living room, sat on the sofa and looked out the window.
Outside is the lush green lawn in spring, coupled with the bright sunshine, even people who are depressed at heart can't help but be brought a little cheerful.
"Are you hungry, Himuro-san? Do you want to have breakfast?" Nazukahiko came to sit next to the girl and kept talking, "Today is Sunday. I took leave last night and I have plenty of time today. Himuro-san
Want to do something?"
In his small words, the girl's dark mood just now was stirred up unconsciously and gradually became active.
"I don't remember Nazuka-kun talking so much before." Yu Himuro was still looking out the window, but the light in his eyes was slightly brighter.
"Well, it's true that it's not that much..." Nazukahiko paused, "But that's not the case. After Himuro-san got angry last night, I couldn't think of what to do to comfort Himuro-san, so I had to talk a little more this morning to try to control my chatterbox.
Can you make Himuro-san not so angry..."
Halfway through his words, Nazukahiko almost lost his breath and had no choice but to stop and adjust his breathing.
He heard a soft "puff" coming from beside him.
Turning her head to look over, the girl's expression was still dull, as if the voice just appeared out of thin air and had no reason.
Nazukahiko smiled.
He stood in front of the girl and leaned out, trying to block the girl's view - but failed.
The girl turned her head slightly and bypassed his obstruction.
Then, when Nazukahiko tried again, he lost his balance due to the excessive movement and fell onto the sofa in embarrassment.
At this time, even if Himuro Yu didn't want to pay attention anymore, he could only turn his attention to him who made a lot of noise.
"Sorry, Himuro-san, last night... I didn't mean it." Nazukahiko showed a simple smile, "I just don't want Himuro-san to be involved in this matter."
The girl was silent for a long time.
It was so long that Nazukahiko thought his apology had failed.
"Nazuka-kun is always like this, always like this." The girl's voice was like cold water droplets, dripping on his body, "I always don't want to involve others, I always don't want to ask others for help, I always believe that I can handle everything.
things.
She looked at Nazukahiko, her eyes never blinking.
"I've been saying before that Nazuka-kun hasn't changed, but I didn't really take it seriously. I thought Nazuka-kun wouldn't act like that... again."
Are you determined to have your own way?
Nazukahiko smiled and did not continue to defend.
If this kind of insistence can work, then he would rather continue to insist on it.
"Nazuka-kun, don't you want to explain any more?" The girl looked at him with a faint voice.
"Instead of explaining this kind of thing, it's better to make breakfast early." Nazukahiko straightened up and patted the shoulder that hurt from the fall just now.
To be honest, although it was not a cruel trick, he did suffer a lot.
The whole person was not balanced, and the feeling of being completely hit on the sofa could make half of his arms numb and weak for a long time.
"How about it, Himuro-san, do you still want to help?" Nazukahiko stood up and stretched out his hand to Himuro Yu.
The girl stared at his strong palm, "Nazuka-kun, don't you think I'm in the way?"
"It's quite annoying." Nazukahiko smiled and simply told the truth, "But it's not annoying. Sometimes it's quite fun to watch."
Looking at Nazukahiko's unconcealed eyes, the girl held his hand.
"It's only been two days since I met Nazuka-kun again, and Nazuka-kun seems to be a lot bolder."
"Really?" Nazuka Yan used his hands hard to pull Himuro Yuu up, "I think if everything I say comes from the heart, Himuro-san will always forgive me."
The girl shook her head gently, "At least now, I can't make such a promise."
"Then I have to fight for it slowly." Nazukahiko laughed.
Coming to the kitchen, Nazukahiko took out the ingredients that he had not used yesterday, as well as the things he brought back from the convenience store, and started to get busy.
Himuro Yu stood aside, hesitant.
Although she said that she still wanted to help, and although Nazukahiko said that he didn't care, the girl still hesitated.
"Himuro-kun, sprinkle some sugar for me." Nazukahiko's voice suddenly came to mind, breaking the girl's thoughts, "My hands are full of tomato juice now, so it's not easy to do anything."
"Since Nazuka-san is so insistent..." The corner of the girl's mouth finally raised slightly, but Nazukahiko didn't notice it.
"Hey, wait a minute, Himuro-kun, you put too much!" Within a moment, Nazukahiko's painful voice sounded from the kitchen, "This means you're not eating tomatoes, but eating candy..."
"Then I...add some tomatoes?" Yu Himuro's voice was uncertain.
"If there is too much sugar, add tomatoes, and if there are too many tomatoes, add sugar?" Nazukahiko took a breath, "Hinemuro-san must be a master at playing with dough."
"Natsuka-kun is making fun of me."
"How dare I...I don't." Nazukahiko quickly changed his words, "Everything has a beginning. Himuro-san doesn't need to think too much, just do it."
"Then I'll add tomatoes?" Although his tone was a question, Yu Himuro's movements were obviously faster than Nazukahiko's movements to stop him.
"Himuro-san...you will definitely be an excellent chef in the future." Nazukahiko's voice was already a little weak, "Well, Himuro-san can help me bake some bread, right?"
"Yeah." Himuro Yu responded softly.
Nazukahiko looked at the girl's leaving figure and had mixed feelings in his heart.
He was both happy that the girl no longer had to worry about what happened last night, but also worried about the "cooking" situation in front of him.
To be honest, he was really scared. If Himuroyu helped a few more times in the future, would he be able to make progress to the point where the finished product would be a dark dish with the level of looking up at the stars.
But don't underestimate this ability.
Nazukahiko found joy in his misery.
If one day you want to take revenge on the Saionji eldest lady, you might be able to ask Himuro-san to take action. This will help Himuro-san avenge the person who was threatened before.
Then, he heard another bad news.
"Natsuka-kun, the bread seems to be toasted...not very well." Along with the half-scorched smell, Natsukahiko heard the girl's still calm voice.
Nazukahiko secretly took a deep breath.
He didn't know it six years ago, and he barely understood it yesterday, but today he has truly seen what it means to be truly white in cooking skills...blank in cooking skills.
"Daily Mission Update"
"Players are requested to complete a transaction worth more than 100,000 yen before eight o'clock tomorrow."
Just as he was about to say something, Nazukahiko suddenly saw the news of daily mission updates.
This made him, who was already a bit sad, suddenly embarrassed.
Speaking of which, if I want to contact Mr. Watanabe, I have to borrow Himuro-san’s mobile phone...
He couldn't ask Himuro Yu to borrow money to buy a mobile phone. After all, the job in the convenience store was not stable at the moment, and he didn't want to become a person who was holding on to his job.
correct!
Nazukahiko had a flash of inspiration and decisively diverted Himuro Yu's attention, "Well, Himuro-san, can you do me a favor and call Mr. Watanabe?"
"Teacher Watanabe?" The girl looked a little confused, "Is there anything sudden?"
"It's not a sudden thing. The main thing is that I want to try to see if I can pick up the wool of the young lady from Saionji Temple." Nazukahiko laughed, "After the negotiation with the young lady yesterday, she only said
I am willing to let Mr. Watanabe provide me with information and information convenience."
"Are you asking for information from Mr. Watanabe?" Although he didn't hear Nazukahiko say it in detail, regarding the relationship between him, Saionji Yukie and Watanabe Haruyo, Himuro Yuu still finished it as quickly as possible.
Clarify.
"No, I want to ask Mr. Watanabe for my cell phone."
"cell phone?"
"Yes." Nazukahiko put on a matter-of-fact expression, "The Saionji eldest lady agreed to provide information, but I don't have any contact channels with me at all, so of course I have to ask Mr. Watanabe for his mobile phone."
And he was able to successfully complete a transaction of 100,000 yen.
Nazukahiko added in his mind.
"Then... shall I call Mr. Watanabe now?" The girl looked at him and asked.
"Of course." Nazukahiko nodded immediately.
This will not only prevent Himuro-san from having to cook, but will also allow Miss Saionji to gather her wool.
Kill two birds with one stone, kill two eagles with one stone.
Himuro Yu quickly took out his cell phone from the room and dialed Watanabe Haruyo's number.
"Himuro-kun, what's the matter?" Watanabe Haruyo's voice was as usual, as if he didn't know Yu Himuro's identity at all.
"Teacher Watanabe, I'm not looking for you, it's Nazuka-kun." Yu Himuro simply replied and handed the phone to Nazukahiko.
It was only when she handed over her phone that she realized something was wrong.
Nazukahiko's hands were busy, and even if he stopped, they wouldn't be clean without washing them carefully with hand soap.
Thinking of this, the girl simply walked behind Nazukahiko, gently took the phone with her right hand, and put it to Nazukahiko's ear.
Nazukahiko fully expected Himuro Yu to tell him when to take the phone, but he was caught off guard when his earlobe was touched by the girl's cold fingers, and his whole body tilted back uncontrollably.
Then……
I felt the soft touch of something touching my back.
