man in tokyo, professional boyfriend

Chapter 400 [399] Ama Festival ([-])

"It's really intense."

In the corner of the auditorium, a little guy wearing a peaked cap lowered the brim of his hat, secretly watching the picture on the big screen, seemingly speechless for a while.

The person who came was Maki's children's shoes who had just appeared on the big screen.

After their family Iori Nini was called away by Aunt Natsume Ryoko on the radio, Shiina Maki children's shoes arrived at the auditorium early, and successfully grabbed a seat that was hidden and near the front.

And unlike Shiina Iori, who has no nerves, Shiina Maki, who was deliberately arrogant in front of reporters, put on a peaked cap early on, and even added an extra piece of clothes temporarily, except for the common attribute of long hair. In addition, he basically covered up his image and changed most of it.

Even if they pass by, [-]% of them will not be recognized by others.

At this moment, she looked at the crowds in the auditorium who were enthusiastically attracted by the host's commentary, and Maki showed a vaguely strange expression.

"It's true, Nini. I don't know how to wear a hat."

The girl clearly said so, but when she thought that the video she posted with Nini just now was seen by many people, her face couldn't help but feel a little feverish.

But this emotion seemed to last only for a short while, and Maki immediately shook her head vigorously as if suddenly reacting to something:

"No, no, no!"

"Maki, you are the first and only believer of God Nini!"

"To make Nini happy is the right choice!"

The girl in the peaked cap whispered in her mouth and shook her head vigorously, even with her long ponytail, as if trying to get rid of some emotions that shouldn't appear.

Nini energy is of course the best!

However, you can't be greedy.

In the scene on the screen just now, she was indeed a little too complacent.

The girl patted her cheek, trying to adjust her emotions and attitude, suppressing the unstoppable sourness in her heart, and trying to make herself as clear as possible.

But soon, she achieved the goal of being 'sober'.

"Ding dong."

A crisp message came from the phone.

Maki Shiina clicked Line and took a look suspiciously.

【Master Mother: [Picture]】-(read)
The moment she saw the photo, Maki Shiina froze first, and then she felt as if a basin of cold footwashing water was splashed on her face. A chill rose straight from the tailbone to the back of her head, making her whole body They couldn't stop trembling.

The photo sent by my mother. There is no doubt that it is the one recorded by the reporter with the camera.

【My mother: Maki~】-(read)
[Master Mother: We have already agreed, we are not allowed to shoot you Nini? 】-(Have read)
[Master Mother: [Smile], [Hatchet]] - (read)
Looking at the messages sent one after another, Shiina Maki felt as if her heart was suddenly held tightly by a big hand.

But no matter how death is imminent, I always struggle two or three times to be okay.

[Maki: It's just a hug, isn't this a normal action? 】

【Maki: After all, it's Nini, right~! 】

It took only two seconds for the message to be sent, and the message prompt changed from 'unread' to 'read' very quickly.

However, Master Mushang didn't give her the slightest room to argue, and directly sent a video.

Click on the video.

".We are all girlfriends~!"

Maki Shiina in the video screen had a silly expression full of complacency and cunning on her face.

Maki on this timeline can't wait to travel back in a time machine and strangle herself a few hours ago on the spot.

let you wave!
You must have been caught by your mother.

[Master Mother: Remember to go home before dinner. 】

[Master Mother: Mom wants to talk to Maki-chan alone. 】

Looking at the last two messages sent, Shiina Maki fell into complete silence.

Mother's orders are absolute in Shiina's family.

Although the family belongs to everyone, it also belongs to the parents.

In other words, the concept of 'family' is completely controlled by the parents first, and then it is their turn to enjoy it.

It can be seen that the role of mother has absolute control over the Shiina family.

Therefore, Shiina Maki did not dare to give birth to the slightest resistance.

The fingertips paused on the phone screen for a long time before finally replying helplessly and weakly:
[Maki: Yes. 】

Stealing chickens will not lose rice.

Not to mention that I didn't take advantage of it at all, and I even lost myself.

Maki Shiina was frustrated.

Other than this
"Natsume Ryoko! I remember!"

Shiina Maki pressed her peaked cap, and couldn't stop grinding her teeth, as if she wanted to bite her right now: "Next time you dare to come to our house, I will definitely not have your good juice!"

Don't even think about it, she knows it all!
Only Natsume Ryoko, who was hosting the event here, could send the photos and audio to her mother in its entirety. Most likely, the old aunt was trying to curry favor with her eldest sister in exchange for a chance to meet her old lover.

Certainly so.

Thinking of this, Shiina Maki stomped her feet angrily.

He didn't even bother to watch the games in the distance, and began to secretly think about how to deal with his mother's cross-examination after returning home.

shallow sea.

Yui stood in the sea water that barely reached half of her calf, staring at the strand of hair she pulled out in her hand in a daze.

At the end of the thread, tied a variegated abalone about half the size of her palm.

There is still a little sea silt attached to the uneven shells.

At this moment, it seemed to have instinctively sensed the approaching danger, and it was closing the shell tightly, and even the slit in the middle was blocked by mud, without revealing a single gap.

It seems that it can protect itself.

'and many more? '

'Is that so! '

At this moment, the eyes of the little seal student who had never been to the sea were a little lost, and he seemed to have a little more understanding as it should be.

No wonder the contestants would allow an inexperienced person like her to catch abalone!

It turned out that they had already prepared for it!

Looking at the thin lines tied with bows, Igarashi Yui showed a wise smile on his face.

All abalone shells should be tied with similar thin threads!

Doesn't it mean that you only need to follow these lines to catch abalone?
This should be the so-called novice benefits!
At this moment, Yui Igarashi only felt that this garbage game named 'Reality' still had a little bit of insignificant playability.

Do it when you think of it!

After understanding the specific rules of the game, the little seal student immediately bent down, squinted his eyes and looked for similar abalones floating in the sand from the vaguely turbid sea water.

Because everyone is on the same level, Yui has no idea of ​​winning.

When she is not stimulated, she has always been a bit weak, has no confidence in herself, and has no strong desire to win.

All she can do is to do her best.

"Whoa, whoa—"

Bare little feet stepped on the sea water, making crisp splashes.

Yui bent over, holding a bamboo basket that was slightly wider than her body in her hand, her eyes glanced carefully and focused under the water.

Carefully and precisely searched for the same white thread as the bow tie just now.

Another head.

Within a few minutes, Yui's eyes lit up, and she swished out her hand to grab a thin string tied with a bow from the sea water.

Sure enough, even though an abalone bound by a thin thread was hidden in the middle of the deep rocks, it could not escape the fate of being caught out.

"it is as expected!"

There is a sincere and cheerful smile on the pink and delicate face.

However, since including the period when Yui first wandered in confusion on the beach, the total time has passed more than 40 minutes, and nearly a quarter of the total time of three hours has passed, so the two abalones in Yui Among all the players, they can only barely rank in the middle class—if you count the other half of the girls who seem to have completely given up on the game by playing in the water on the beach.

Those with the most harvest, such as Yuki Terashima, Shino Sano, etc., have already reached double digits.

Of course, the reason why there are so many harvests is mainly because this shallow sea area was originally a breeding area, and the density of seafood is relatively high.

If it is caught naturally, it is common for ancient sea women to soak in the water for a whole day and only harvest seven or eight abalones.

After discovering this 'secret', Yui's walking speed in the water suddenly became a little faster.

However, because she is not very good at swimming, her shopping range is limited to the range of 'the sea that can reach the knees'.

She doesn't go any further.

It can be said that the safety awareness is extremely high.

As time goes by, the number of abalones in the bamboo basket of Yui, who found the secret, is also increasing.

I just don't know why, but the abalones in her bamboo basket are all tied with white threads.

Igarashi Yui didn't notice the difference between herself and others, and became a little sister-in-law who was about to fall.

However, the situation has changed.

Just as Yui continued to extend her sinful little hand to the line of a white bowknot she had just discovered as before.

"Clap."

The fingertips accidentally collided with a small hand next to him.

"Sorry." x2
The two who bumped into each other unconsciously spoke at the same time.

Then, the four eyes met suddenly.

Kikuchi Hoshimena looked at the girl in front of her who was obviously extending her evil little hand towards the 'mark' she had set up, and her brain stopped for a moment.

There seemed to be a dull light of wisdom buried in the eyes.

What is this guy doing?
Immediately afterwards, his gaze fell habitually to the bamboo basket in the hands of the girl with the big seal on the opposite side.

Inside the wide bamboo basket, four or five abalones were scattered sparsely, still wrapped in white string bows after being thrown in.

The pupils could not help shrinking.

Isn't that all the abalone I tagged? !
what are you doing!
These are all mine!I bought it!

It cost more than 4 yen!
Seeing that I spent a lot of money to buy it home and soak it in the water basin, I wrapped the white thread and tied it with a bow overnight, and I secretly found the abalones buried in the sand in the middle of the night when no one was around. Lying quietly in someone else's bamboo basket.

Suddenly, a great sadness welled up in Kikuchi Hoshimana's heart.

The most annoying thing is that she still can't say it.

Because this is cheating, if it is discovered, it will be directly disqualified from the competition.

What's more, Iori-kun must still be watching, right?

And what the hell is this guy thinking?Can't you see that those threads were tied up on purpose by others?

After you get it, you dismantle it!
Kikuchi Hoshimena noticed Yui's wise eyes, and felt chest tightness and shortness of breath for no reason.

However, this series of doubts, astonishment, and annoyance can only be hidden in the flash of light and flint that lasts for an instant.

As for the specific action in reality, there is only the froze expression after the two people collided their fingertips and apologized at the same time.

In just the next second, Kikuchi Hoishuna seemed to be fine, pretending that she didn't notice the thin white line in the sand at all, fumbled around in the water like a blind man, and then prepared to pretend that nothing happened Found that the general turned away.

In the end, this was just her unilateral attempt.

Noticing her strange movements, Yui looked at Kikuchi Hoshimana with a confused expression:

"Why don't you take it?"

She actually asked out? !
The expression on Kikuchi Hoshimena's face was almost frozen, and she almost couldn't hold back.

But in the end, she still had a froze face, making a puzzled look with difficulty:
"I, I didn't see it?"

"Didn't you almost run into it before?"

Yui muttered softly, and neatly pulled up the white thread floating with the water waves, picked up a section, and stuffed it directly into Hoshimura's hand.

A little push.

"Whoa-"

Another abalone appeared.

This one is still a large net abalone that can hold five cents, it is as big as Yui's palm, and she raised her eyebrows when she saw it.

But after thinking about it, I still didn't grab it.

The girl reached out her hand earlier than her just now, and this is her head.

As a professional internet-addicted girl, even in this garbage game in the real world, Yui always follows the standard etiquette of 'team battles can be lost, but heads can't be taken'.

Hoshimura, who stayed alone with Kikuchi, stood there with a dazed expression on her face.

Immediately afterwards, she suddenly realized that she opened her mouth with a difficult expression, and a series of thoughts flashed by.

We are cheating in the game!

Can you pay attention! ?

We shared the abalone so carelessly that it seemed like we were accomplices!
But it is a pity that despite all kinds of thoughts overlapping and intertwined, Xingmu Nai dared not say a word.

Because if you don't speak up, everyone can still pretend that it is a gang crime, but if you talk about it, she is the only one left.

Thinking of this, the girl stood still for a few seconds.

There are black lines all over the face.

Backstage studio.

After a lot of coercion and temptation, beating carrots and sticks, the situation in the director's room has changed.

Shiina Iori, who was originally standing behind Natsume Ryoko with a polite smile, was now sitting on the large soft sofa next to Haruno Takeshi, with her fingers crossed close to her lower abdomen.

Natsume Ryoko, who knew she was wrong, stood aside with a difficult smile on her face, rubbing his shoulders carelessly.

While kneading, he whispered:

"I-chan!"

"For the sake of our friendship for so many years, please let me go this time."

"I hugged you when you were little!"

Shiina Iori, however, looked completely unmoved, and said coldly: "Then you've made money, my mother-in-law knows?"

Natsume Ryoko's face froze again when he heard this, trying to talk about him from left to right.

But Shiina Iori has no brains, she can see through the truth at a glance, but she is not angry.

Instead, he took out a scratch-off card from his pocket.

Natsume Ryoko was stunned, a little unresponsive.

Then, I heard Shiina Iori continue to ask: "The third prize of this [Hai no Abalone Tour Passenger Boat Half-Day Tour] belongs to your family, right?"

"Yes, yes."

After getting an affirmative answer, Shiina Iori showed a calm and youthful warm smile on his face:
"Level up a little bit."

"Switch to 'One Night Cruise in the Pacific Ocean' for me."

"what--?!"

Natsume Ryoko's eyes widened immediately: "No, no, no! Absolutely not!"

"How much would that cost!!"

She has a bad temper, the Grandet family who always goes to battle in the commercials!
I can't agree to death!

However, Shiina Iori's smile is still warm and warm: "My careless father, because he is not very good at new machines, has never had the habit of regularly deleting chat software message records."

"Before, I 'accidentally' made a backup on a cloud server."

next second.

"thump--"

Natsume Ryoko fell to her knees on the spot: "Luxury cruise ship! First-class cabin! One night cruise in Palau Sea!"

"Please also accept it!"
