Chapter 21: Do it once and tell you
【No reward required. 】
Looking at this reply, I kept the three-person character of Nana Masayama and my expression did not change.
But I have already thought about it in my mind - usually the free ones are the most expensive, and there is definitely something wrong with this!
Maybe because of this thinking gap, I looked at my phone for too long. Sayuri Matsumoto took a sip of the lemon tea she ordered, and her eyes showed a bit of curiosity: "What's wrong? Is it your Great White Shark?"
...sounds so weird! Although it was a nickname I just gave myself!
I replied quickly, deleted the message, and calmly put the phone back: "No, it's the Siamese cat I just met."
Sayuri Matsumoto: "...?"
Obviously, my metaphor raised questions in Sayuri Matsumoto's head.
However, since Nana Masayama's character design is Denpa Sanmu, Sayuri Matsumoto accepted it very well. She dropped the topic and started asking about my study abroad experience.
Fortunately, I did study in the United States, and I can still answer this question without revealing any flaws. Sayuri Matsumoto is also an easy-going and good-tempered person. It is easy to get along with her. She will even take care of me deliberately. And all this was just because I did her a small favor back then, and even that trouble was designed by me to deliberately get close to her.
When we were saying goodbye, Sayuri Matsumoto stuffed me with chocolates, with a smile on her face: "I want to spend Valentine's Day with my lover, so I'm giving you chocolates in advance."
I was surprised for a moment and took it: "Thank you."
I'm not surprised by the other party's behavior... because when I was studying at Didan High School, I thought, "I am a returned child and don't understand Japanese Valentine's Day etiquette. Shouldn't girls be given things on Valentine's Day?" I asked for chocolate from a girl I was close to on the grounds of "I want chocolate even if I don't care, just use it as a testimony of friendship."
As long as I'm weird enough, they can't hold me to their standards.
So when I was a JK, I was the one collecting chocolates every Valentine’s Day, and I didn’t even have to make giri chocolates myself to give away.
I just didn't expect Sayuri Matsumoto to still remember this... She is such a good girl. In order to repay her, I will go back and help find out whether her lover is reliable. ——I made a decision secretly in my heart.
Because I was shopping with Sayuri Matsumoto, I didn't let the driver arranged by Pisk follow me. After I finished here, I found a place to change back into my clothes, and rubbed my cheeks that were a little stiff due to paralysis. , went to the research institute - not where Shirley was, but where I stayed by myself.
Because the research institute I am responsible for has been revised and put into use.
Unlike Shirley's drug research, I am responsible for technology.
But even in my own research institute, it doesn’t mean that I can’t chat with Shirley.
"On previous Valentine's Days, I always pestered the Gin boss, but this time I expressed my rebelliousness forcefully. I feel that if it is the same as in previous years, I will be at a disadvantage!" I opened Matsumoto Sayuri and gave it to me. He threw a piece of handmade chocolate into his mouth and said vaguely, "So Shiho, how do you think I should make it better?"
[Do you really think it’s appropriate to ask a thirteen-year-old me this question? 】 Miyano Shiho's voice on the other end of the phone sounded very calm, "I'm going to ask my sister what their Valentine's Day arrangements are. At worst, the three of you will spend it together." 】
Shirley still has an unparalleled dry sense of humor as always.
"I don't have a habit of interfering in other people's love, okay? And I hate watching couples show off their affection." I said lazily while checking the latest data, "But if you agree to spend time together, I will agree. We can Foursome date.”
[I told you, pervert, I am only thirteen years old. ] Miyano Shiho said in her usual cold voice, [Then you go and argue with Gin. According to your ability to cry, make trouble, and hang yourself, he will eventually agree to become a couple even if he is unwilling at first. 】
"Don't make it sound like I'm unreasonable! I'm obviously very reasonable!" I complained, but I didn't express any opinion on Miyano Shiho's proposal.
It's not that I don't know or agree with what she said...but it doesn't make sense that way. It’s not like I don’t understand Boss Gin. Even if we succeed in that way, our current relationship might still be more comfortable than it is now.
Anyway, I have to let him admit that he likes me!
Miyano Shiho also noticed my change of topic and asked directly: [Why not be more direct? This roundabout way doesn't look like you. What are you worried about? 】
...Well, Shirley is such a sharp girl.
Of course, that's what she said, and she definitely wouldn't know what I really wanted to test.
I drawled my voice and said in a descriptive tone: "There's nothing to worry about. I don't have anything to worry about. Because Boss Gin's patience with me is like π, even though I haven't reached the passing line according to the ten-point system, but It can never be eradicated.”
[…Well, it’s really retribution. 】
"What retribution?"
【nothing. 】
I always felt that Shirley was secretly scolding me, but there was no evidence, so I put the matter aside.
But...I do have plans for Valentine's Day.
The day before Valentine's Day, I generously gave myself a holiday and went out to shoot with my camera. It's not that I am obsessed with photography, but my other vest persona takes photography as a hobby. I fell in love with a photography exhibition and decided to enter the competition in the name of Nana Masayama.
My photography skills are pretty good - because I had a photography class when Boss Gin enrolled me in interest classes.
It's just that... I have bad luck today.
Originally, I was just squatting by the flower bed to take pictures.
It was during this gap that there was a couple next to me who were a little too selfless to show off their affection. The man picked up the woman and spun her around, bumping into me. I stumbled and fell directly into the flower bed. Fortunately, I landed on my knees. On dirt, the fall didn't hurt.
After I regained my balance, I quickly turned my head to look at the perpetrator, and found that the couple was sweetly calling "Mickey" and "Chillin" over there, as if there was no one around, and they didn't seem to notice that I was the victim. Or, they stuck together affectionately and walked away.
I stayed where I was, with a look of disbelief on my face - what kind of person is this! I remember those two guys!
It was also at this time that I heard a laugh, although the other person quickly suppressed it and even coughed a few times to hide it.
I turned around and looked over and saw that it was someone I knew.
"Sorry." The blond young man tried his best to straighten the raised corners of his mouth, came forward, bent over, and stretched out his hand to me, "Are you okay?"
I stared at the other person for a moment, put my hand on his hand, stood up, and patted the dirt on my knees, and answered him calmly: "It's okay, I just decided to go and destroy couples tomorrow."
"..." Bourbon's expression became a little subtle, with a little hesitation. He couldn't hold it back, and asked me, "What are you going to do?"
I was still very calm: "Go to a place where couples hang out, arrange for the staff to create some popular proposal ceremony, and set up a trap specifically for couples, so that the girl will mistakenly think that she has been proposed to, and then the boy will be unable to argue. In case someone takes advantage of the opportunity After accepting it, they arranged for other actors to come out and say that this was their proposal ceremony, which made them embarrassed. In short, all couples will never have a good Valentine's Day."
Bourbon: "..."
I glanced at the other person's expression and said slowly: "Yes, I am just petty and incompetent. What's wrong?"
Bourbon: "...Nothing."
I think the other person was so impressed by my fantastic ideas that he was speechless. Looking at the other party's speechless look, I felt that I had regained my place, and I felt relieved from being laughed at just now. I turned sideways and faced him: "So, is something wrong? It can't be a chance encounter, right? ?”
"Is it your request?" Bourbon put a smile on his face and paused deliberately, "Find me first."
Well...this is the reply I gave to the other party before. In response to the sentence "No compensation is required", I directly replied [then find me first and then talk].
But... being so proactive has a huge problem.
Since Bourbon is also from the intelligence team, so...is it still related to intelligence? Or is there a sign from Rum?
I crossed my arms, looked at him appraisingly, and decided to give it a try.
"Okay, you found me. Congratulations. You have passed the first level." I put down my hand, took two steps forward, put one hand on his shoulder, leaned my head close to his ear, and said in a low voice, "What do you want to know from me? How about doing it with me once and I'll tell you?"
Then, I saw Bourbon completely stunned at that moment, with a look of astonishment on his face, and he looked at me suddenly, with a bit of disbelief in his eyes.
Although he reacted quickly and covered it up immediately, the look of his pupils trembling at the beginning was enough to make me feel confident.
The plan worked so unexpectedly that I couldn't help but laugh out loud. It was also because of this reaction that Bourbon quickly understood my true intention. He closed his eyes and looked over again with a slightly subtle look. The smile on his face also tended to be false: "Is this kind of joke interesting?"
"It's okay if it's not a joke." I took a step back and distanced myself, keeping the smile on my face because I was in a good mood. I raised my hand and touched my chin with my index finger. My red eyes stared at the blond young man in front of me, thoughtfully. , and made a calm assessment, "The reaction just now clearly shows that you are not interested in me, so you don't need to act, you can't deceive me. No matter what benefits or information you want to get from it, it is better to use the chips that I am interested in." Well, I'm still happy to make an equal exchange. You can use your body as a bargaining chip if you really want, but you have to have good skills. If you don't have good skills, you owe me information."
After I finished speaking, I turned away and raised my hand to wave goodbye. After walking a few steps, I stopped, turned around, pointed at him and added.
"Ah, by the way, if you are approaching me because of Boss Gin, I advise you to give up as soon as possible." I raised the corners of my mouth and said with a smile, "This is not a warning, but a piece of advice."
