never say i like you

Hojo Ichikawa does not have to go to work today. Because he has to prepare for the New Year Appreciation Party that will be held at the end of the year. It is necessary to do the cleaning and other work in advance. Therefore, except for the cleaners, all other employees in the company do not have to go to work. All the staff have two days off .

Hojo Ichikawa is always looking forward to the holidays. Because during the holidays, he can keep himself busy and always feel that his tired body has been fully rested. Apart from work, he also has more during the holidays. Time to do something else. Change mood or something.

Of course. During the holidays, the things that Hojo Ichikawa usually does. In fact, there are not so many diversifications.

Under normal circumstances, that is: make yourself a cup of hot coffee, practice Taekwondo after a long absence, go shopping, buy vegetables, and occasionally make some cakes and other small snacks by yourself. There is really nothing to do Sometimes I read comics or watch TV dramas. Sometimes I have to supervise those who like to delay the draft. It’s so good that I just happened to meet Mitsuha Sakata on the deadline.

Just like the current situation.

Hojo Ichikawa was leisurely drinking the hot coffee he made just now. He was sitting opposite to Sakata Mitsuha, supervising Sakata Mitsuha's drafting.

Unfortunately, today is the deadline. So even Ichikawa Hojo doesn't have to go to work. But Mitsuha Sakata still has to stay here obediently and desperately catch up with the manuscript.

It’s rare that my sister Sakata Yumi is not at home now. Only Sakata Mitsuha and Hojo Ichikawa are at home. Hojo Ichikawa doesn’t have to go to work. Such a great date opportunity. As a result, all of them were lost on this deadline. This made Mitsuha Sakata almost go crazy. He wanted to go out for a long time with Hojo Ichikawa and make a date.

But if the manuscript is not finished, Hojo Ichikawa will not talk to him at all, let alone talk about the date. It is not even a thought.

So Sakata Mitsuha wanted to spare some time to go out on a date with Hojo Ichikawa. Even if there was only a little time, he would just sit here honestly, desperately drawing the manuscript.

Seeing Mitsuha Sakata being so serious and concentrating on drawing the manuscript, Hojo Ichikawa was taken aback for a long time.

Because from just now until now, at this time, I would always be chattering about Sakata Mitsuha, who is making trouble non-stop, but now I didn’t even say a word. It was unbelievably quiet from the beginning to the end. I just kept working hard like that .Holding the paintbrush and quickly rushing to the drawing.

Hojo Ichikawa said that it was the first time he saw Sakata Mitsuha who was working hard like this. He couldn't help but wondered: Could it be that Mr. Sakata has changed his sex? Or did he take drugs last night? Or... now The guy sitting across from him desperately trying to finish the manuscript is not Mr. Sakata at all.

and……

Hojo Ichikawa casually picked up a manuscript that Sakata Mitsuha had just drawn. He took a rough look at it. As a result, he found that Sakata Mitsuha was not just drawing manga with a super fast painting speed. Drawing it out The quality of the manuscript is actually so high. There is no need to make revisions at all.

I have thoroughly understood Sakata Mitsuha's real painting ability. Hojo Ichikawa has no doubts about the title of Sakata Mitsuha, a super-popular and powerful manga writer.

On the contrary. The more I understand the true strength of Sakata Mitsuha in painting, the more Ichikawa Hojo feels angry. I feel particularly uncomfortable.

"..."

Nima.

Oh, this bastard. He obviously has such a fast drawing ability. Moreover, the quality of each cartoon drawn is absolutely guaranteed. There is no need to make any modifications. However, this bastard can still repeat it again and again. .I dragged the draft for him again and again. Usually even the ordinary storyboard draft. Mitsuha Sakata has the ability to draw messy drawings. Changed it again and again.

Looking at it now, those so-called delays before, re-editing the storyboard and so on, and the willful and reckless behavior again and again. Damn it. All of this is clearly intentional by Sakata Mitsuha.

Damn it. I always feel like being played by this dead man in front of me. It's super annoying. I feel super uncomfortable.

Hojo Ichikawa squeezed the unfinished cup of hot coffee in his hand. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was a fire in his stomach. He just missed jumping to the opposite side. Sakata Mitsuha, who was still concentrating on drawing manga quickly, was dead.

I have always liked to procrastinate. This alone is enough to make Hojo Ichikawa feel headache and annoyed. And he obviously has the ability to do his best. But he still keeps procrastinating. Now it is even more annoying Hojo Ichikawa was extremely annoyed. He almost wanted to vomit blood.

Then his monthly performance rankings for several consecutive months have been No.1 from the bottom. There is also the high attendance bonus and extra welfare bonus that he could get every month. It turns out that he didn’t get it like this 'Wronged'. This is to call him Hojo Ichikawa 'how embarrassing'.

Mitsuha Sakata. You are an asshole. Since you have such outstanding ability, be a little more conscious and abide by the deadline. Wouldn’t it be nice to create the best work properly?

Hojo Ichikawa suddenly took the half cup of hot coffee in his hand, raised his head and drank it in one breath, then put the empty coffee cup on the table, frowned and stared at the other side Sakata Mitsuha glanced at it and took out the phone in his pocket to check the time.

Ah. It's already almost eleven o'clock. It's almost time to prepare lunch.

So, Hojo Ichikawa, who was about to get up and go to the kitchen to make lunch, suddenly thought of a question that made the corners of his mouth twitch. That is: the only ingredients in the kitchen. He had already made all the ingredients last night. It's hot pot. Now in the kitchen, there are no other ingredients that can be used for cooking except rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

And it's already eleven o'clock now. If you go to the department store to buy vegetables now, you will have to wait until around one o'clock at noon at the earliest before you can start eating.

Tsk... Mr. Sakata is really too. Why didn't you remind him.

Because I don’t have to go to work in the morning, Ichikawa Hojo didn’t get up until late. So today’s breakfast was made by Mitsuha Sakata alone. Simple and nutritious egg and coriander porridge. The taste is delicious. Mitsuba Sakata’s Cooking skills have always been great. It is not inferior to Hojo Ichikawa and his younger sister Sakata Yumi. Hojo Ichikawa knows this best.

Although Sakata Mitsuha's cooking skills are great, but he rarely cooks. It seems that there are people who are lucky enough to eat the meals made by Sakata Mitsuha himself. At present, Hojo Ichikawa is the only one.

But... no matter how delicious the egg and coriander porridge is, I have to remind him. There are no ingredients in the kitchen. The only two eggs and a few cilantro left last night. Let Sakata Sanye take them all this morning Went to cook porridge.

It's all right now. It's already eleven o'clock. It's time to go out to buy groceries. I guess no one else would do this kind of thing except him.

"Hojo-kun. Where are you going?" Seeing Hojo Ichikawa suddenly stood up, as if preparing to go somewhere. Sakata Mitsuha immediately stopped the brush in his hand and asked Hojo Ichikawa anxiously.

"Hey. Of course I'm going to go shopping. Mr. Sakata. Don't you know that it's almost time for lunch? There are no ingredients in the kitchen. I'm going to go to a department store now. Don't worry, Mr. Sakata Just stay here. Just continue to focus on your manuscript."

After Hojo Ichikawa finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave. However, he didn't take two steps away. Soon he was pulled back by Sakata Mitsuha. There was still a desk between the two of them. Sakata Mitsuha held Hojo Ichikawa's sleeve tightly again. This posture is actually quite tiring.

"In this case, then I will go with you too." Sakata Mitsuha walked directly in front of Hojo Ichikawa and stood firmly in front of Hojo Ichikawa, completely blocking Hojo Ichikawa's way.

Unless Hojo Ichikawa agrees to go out with him. Otherwise, Mitsuha Sakata does not intend to let Hojo Ichikawa go out alone like this.

"Mr. Sakata, it doesn't matter if I go shopping alone. You can just work on the manuscript at home. I will be back soon." Hojo Ichikawa said helplessly.

"For the manuscript, you can catch up later when you come back. If you want to go out, then the two of us will go together. It's already time for lunch anyway. You haven't cooked yet. Let's just go out and eat." .Then go shopping in the department store together. Isn’t it very convenient.” Mitsuha Sakata said to Hojo Ichikawa with a smile.

"..."

Hojo Ichikawa looked at the time. By the way, he referred to what Sakata Mitsuha said. He thought it was quite reasonable. So he nodded and agreed.

Anyway, Sakata Mitsuha has such a fast drawing speed. It is also possible to draw after returning later. Hojo Ichikawa thought so.

"Then let's go now. We won't drive out today. Let's go." Sakata Mitsuha asked for Hojo Ichikawa's opinion with a smile.

"Well, that's fine. Let's go then. My stomach is going to be flat." Hojo Ichikawa thought it would be good to take a walk once in a while. It was considered as exercise, so he didn't think about it any more. He took the lead in walking I went. Sakata Mitsuha immediately followed happily after seeing this.

That's it. Mitsuha Sakata and Ichikawa Hojo went out together. I plan to find a random restaurant for lunch, and then go directly to a department store to buy some ingredients and snacks and go back.

Sakata Mitsuha kept giggling along the way, because he felt that now he and Hojo Ichikawa were on a date with Xin Fu, and he was already very excited.

But that's only Sakata Mitsuha would think so. Hojo Ichikawa doesn't think that the two of them are dating or anything. It's just a normal dinner or shopping together. So... when he When I saw Mitsuha Sakata giggling all the time, I just felt that Mitsuha Sakata probably had a convulsion in his head again. He didn't take it seriously at all.

Just when the two of them were about to cross the road, Ichikawa Hojo, who had sharp ears, suddenly heard a roar. And the voice sounded very familiar. So Ichikawa Hojo stopped in his tracks, and couldn't help but pass on the voice just now. He looked in the direction he came from. As a result, he saw an unexpected person.

Editor-in-Chief Kamio....

Isn't that the editor-in-chief Kamio? At this time, why did the editor-in-chief Kamio appear here? Where is he doing? So... was that roar just now also from him?
