Watching his younger brother Hashimoto leaving, scratching his head and looking thoughtful, Baiyunshan let out a long sigh of relief in his heart.
Although he just gave so many reasons to explain his motives, it is true that he helped him anyway. I believe that my younger brother is also aware of this, so he will definitely remember this help.
There is indeed no lie about the common front, but Baiyunshan is not so naive that he can really make the other party switch sides and completely fall to his side based on such words. The purpose of saying this is not to really want the other party to help you. This is a gift. If you can, of course it is best. If you can't, it doesn't matter. The most important thing is to repair and bring the relationship closer.
After all, he is the younger brother of a certain Hokkaido girl, and his relationship with her family has been very tense since he arrived. No matter what his starting point is, it will definitely be a very difficult thing for the girl, leaving her caught in the middle. , it will definitely not be very pleasant.
So instead of waiting for that day to appear, it is better to plan ahead and try to mend the relationship beforehand, and now it seems that this attempt can be regarded as a success.
Then, after excluding possible external negative influences, we must formally consider how to persuade a certain Hokkaido girl to change her mind. However, as for how to do it specifically, Baiyunshan has not made up her mind yet——
Just as he was deep in thought, a silly and loud voice suddenly rang in his ears, instantly bringing him back to reality.
"Ah? Where are they?"
Turning around, he saw that it was Kitano Hinako, the girl with small freckles on her face. She had returned here in ten minutes as agreed, looking at the empty snow in front of her with a blank expression.
"Ah... they were in a hurry, so they left first -"
Baiyunshan came back to her senses. Of course, she couldn't directly tell her what happened here just now. Instead, she was stunned for a moment and gave a reason casually. Then she looked at the other party, changed the subject and said: "You, you still have to go. Want to eat?"
"Of course, this is what you said!"
Kitano Rinako heard this and was decisively attacked. She affirmed loudly without hesitation. Then she suddenly became vigilant. She looked up at him and narrowed her eyes: "Wait a minute, you don't want to default on the bill, do you?"
"...of course not!"
Baiyunshan said speechlessly. He had a hunch that if he really nodded just now, a pair of fists might hit him in the next second. To be on the safe side, he agreed immediately: "But let's make a deal first. What do you want to eat?"
Kitano Rinako tilted her head and thought for a moment, then clapped her hands and said, "Well...barbecue!"
...
...
Not many barbecue restaurants are still open during the annual holidays.
But you can still find it if you look carefully.
Since there were only two people, Baiyunshan didn't bother to ask for a private room. Instead, he directly found a seat, sat down, and let the other party take the order.
"Ah? Baiyun-sang, don't you order something to eat?"
Kitano Hinako suddenly became curious when she noticed that he was indifferent to the menu in front of him and kept his head down while ordering. His eyes seemed to be shining with excitement and his face was full of excitement.
"I don't need it. I just ate it just now and I don't have any appetite now——"
Baiyunshan waved his hand feebly.
"That's not okay!"
However, Kitano Hinako was not satisfied, and decisively stopped her ordering, and said righteously: "My mother has taught me since I was a child that I must be polite. Although this time is called a transaction, after all, it is your treat. It would be rude if I was the only one eating it. If you don’t eat it, then Hinako and I will lose my appetite——”
What he said was decisive.
Baiyunshan was immediately speechless.
Kitano Rinako, who was staring at his face, raised the corners of her mouth slightly and smiled proudly in her heart.
Humph, am I really an idiot? You didn’t order or eat anything. If you sneak away by yourself then, wouldn’t it be Hinako and me who are unlucky? It's so naive to try to trick me with this trick! Taking advantage of this moment to directly drag you into the water is the best way to do it——
"Okay then, I'll just eat something -"
Baiyunshan, who didn't know what this guy was thinking, had no choice but to agree.
"This is the right thing~"
Kitano Rinako nodded with satisfaction.
When the dishes and meats were served one by one, the two started eating together, and the atmosphere gradually increased as the temperature of the barbecue unknowingly increased.
Baiyunshan had nothing to do, so he simply chatted while eating. It didn't take much time to understand the general situation of the girl in front of him.
The fact is similar to what the girl mentioned before when she introduced herself. Kitano Rinako is the same age as a certain round-faced idol in her family, and she is in high school this year. The whole family now lives in Chiba, but he was born in Hokkaido and his hometown is here, so there are many former relatives here in Hokkaido.
It was rare to come back here during the Chinese New Year this year. I was about to go back after the annual vacation in a few days, but I didn't expect to bump into him.
However, even though it was just such a simple conversation, Baiyunshan became more and more certain that the girl in front of him had a startling voice, could scare you from time to time, and could reveal her stupidity unconsciously... .Exactly a fool!
And he is a different type of idiot than Maya's idiot. If we say that Maya's idiot is because she is too young and inexperienced in the world and has a unique brain circuit, that is why she is concluded to be an idiot. Then the girl named Kitano Rinako in front of her exudes the aura of an idiot all the time in her words and deeds, every word and every action she takes -
Not to mention anything else, let's just say that she told a stranger she just met today, even the information about her dog's name, Chip, without any reservation. I have to say that it is a bit too shabby. Just a simple idiot——
However, such an idiot does not make people feel disgusted. There is no other reason. Because the idiot is too thorough and his every move reveals innocence, on the contrary, people will unconsciously have a good impression of him and will only treat her as a person. Treating her like a younger sister, I can't get angry at all.
However, it was precisely because he discovered this characteristic of the other party that Baiyunshan was eating, when suddenly another thought came to his mind, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
As the saying goes, a natural idiot is a fool... No, it's innocence that moves people the most. I always feel unsure of how to convince a certain Hokkaido girl, and I feel like it's half the result with twice the effort, so why not let the person in front of me try it?
Maybe I am overthinking it? The simplest and most direct method is often the most effective. If she asks her to help, things may turn around and it will get twice the result with half the effort——
With an idea in mind, Baiyunshan immediately coughed, attracting the other party's attention, and said: "Bei Ye-san——"
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Kitano Hinako, who was eating barbecue and enjoying the meal, was interrupted. She wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction, raised her head and muttered: "What else do you want to ask? I even told you my Chip's name just now, and you still What do you want to know? That’s a bit too wordy—"
Baiyunshan scratched the back of his hand in embarrassment. Good guy, it turns out that although this guy is a fool, he is not a fool. He can still see some of his intentions... But even though he was thinking about it, he didn't do it because of this. He didn't mean to interrupt after just one sentence, but he calmed down and continued: "It's nothing, I just want to ask you to do me one more favor——"
"help?"
Kitano Rinako looked at him blankly.
Baiyunshan smiled and said seductively: "Yes, if you are willing to help me this time, I will treat you to another meal, ah, no, three meals, no, five barbecues! What do you think?"
