If you get lost on the love map

Chapter 9 Fukuzawa Yukichi in the middle of the night, an encounter under the bright sun

The matter of helping Shimizu Chika finally ended with Nazukahiko paying one night's salary in advance, and after get off work in the morning, he went to the girl's house to retrieve it.

As for night shift work, it's boring and uninteresting, and it's a truth that no one can refute.

After all, after the evening stall, the number of guests is scarce, and it will only be fixed in the late-night stall that appears in certain time periods.

So for the shop assistants on the night shift, it is quite normal to be sleepy.

For example, the senior store manager of Nazukahiko, seeing that there were not many customers entering the store for half an hour, he simply yawned and went into the lounge, lying down and resting.

In this regard, Naizukahiko himself really has no opinion - after all, the store manager has to come to the store to deal with things during the day, so it can't be regarded as a complete night shift.

Sitting on the small chair behind the cashier, Nazukahiko held the book he took out from the locker, flipped through the book, and wrote down some of his thoughts with a pen—it was related to the elective course after the private school started.

History was his chosen course content.

Let's not say whether he is well-known or not.Just considering that he was born in Kyoto and has memories of his previous life, it was already a dimensionality reduction blow for the students in Kanto.

Moreover, the private school has no intention of embarrassing the exchange students. In terms of course time, it is not the traditional five to ten minutes of a class, but it is properly maintained within twenty to three to ten minutes.

It should actually count as half extracurricular activity, half elective.

As for whether or not the students of the private school will have any opinion on the courses and exchange students, that is another matter.

Time passed, the hour hand passed twelve, and the early morning of Saturday came quietly.

"On May 29th, the tenth year of Tensho, Akechi Hinata Mori Mitsuhide visited the Atago Shrine and left a sentence, 'The time is today, and the world should fall'."

"On June [-]st, Guangxiu surrounded Duke Nobunaga in Honneng Temple, and surrounded Xinzhong to Miaojue Temple. That night, Duke Nobunaga escaped on an adventure, but Xinzhong was besieged by Miaojue Temple and had to get out..."

Halfway through reading softly, Nazukahiko suddenly remembered something.

Standing up, he glanced at the time.

Hmm... [-]:[-] in the morning.

He walked to the door of the store again, looked outside carefully, and made sure that no one was coming and going.

There will be no guests coming in for the time being...

After thinking about it, he walked towards the staff lounge.

Of course, it wasn't that he wanted to learn from the Dongpo layman in Dongguo, "going to the staff lounge to find the store manager, and the store manager didn't sleep", but that he had something to ask this senior for instructions.

The snoring was deafening.

Walking into the lounge, Nazukahiko tried his best to endure the pain of his eardrum being devastated, and finally walked to the store manager and patted him on the shoulder.

The manager's snoring stopped abruptly.

He opened his eyes reluctantly and saw Naizukahiko standing in front of him.

With the discomfort of being awakened from a sound sleep, the store manager sat up and grabbed his messy hair, "What's the matter, Naizuka?"

"It just so happens that there are no guests right now, and I want to ask the seniors to do me a favor." Naizukahiko pointed to the outside, "Just a little while, not very long."

The shopkeeper looked at him suspiciously.

"It's really not a big deal, senior, don't worry." Naizuka Yan quickly explained, "Let's go there first?"

"...Okay, it's time to replace Naizuka and let you rest for a while." The store manager nodded, "I really want you to work all night and let me hide in the lounge to sleep. I'm sorry."

Nazukahiko just smiled and didn't answer.

Although the store manager has a rough personality, he is definitely not someone who will take advantage of it.

……

"Ah, you said that just after seven o'clock tonight, did any girls come to exchange money?" In front of the cash register, the store manager looked at Naizuka Yan with a confused look on his face.

Just now, his eyes were half-open and half-closed, and he was rubbing his eyes again and again. Hearing Naizukahiko's question now, he became a little more energetic.

"Yes, it may seem reluctant and reluctant to exchange money." Naizuka Yan added.

"Yes, yes." Hearing Nazukahiko say this, the store manager immediately remembered, "She said she wanted to call the public phone outside, but she didn't have any change, so she came here to exchange money."

"Yes, that's the girl." Nazukahiko nodded again and again.

The convenience store closest to where the three lived was the one where he worked part-time.

Therefore, when Izumi Yuyue mentioned that she had replaced her Fukuzawa Yukichi, Naizukahiko immediately reacted.

"What did you ask her for?" The store manager looked at Naizukahiko with a suspicious expression on his face, "Is it related to you again?"

"Uh... it can be counted." Naizuka Yan said about it, "That Fukuzawa Yukichi, the store manager still has it?"

"Where can I go... It's only been a few hours, how can I make it disappear?" The store manager opened the cash box angrily, "How many Fukuzawa Yukichi can be collected in one night, you should have a count yourself, right? ?"

He thought Nazukahiko was waking him up for something important, but after a long time, he just confirmed the presence of a received Fukuzawa Yukichi?

If it weren't for his getting along with Naizukahiko a few days ago, he would have thought it was Naizukahiko who wanted to wake him up for an excuse to change shifts.

"So, which one is it?" Nazuhiko continued to ask.

"This." The store manager flipped through it and quickly found the target. "This Fukuzawa Yukichi is very old and a little worn."

The old may be because Quan Youyue got it very early and has never spent it.

As for wear... Maybe it's because of love?
Nazukahiko gave a reasonable explanation in his heart, but did not speak.

"Okay, Fukuzawa Yukichi also found it, what do you want to do, Naizuka?"

"Store manager, this Fukuzawa Yukichi... can you lend it to me today?" Naizukahiko said sincerely, "I need it."

"In a hurry?"

"In a hurry."

"What's your relationship with that girl?" The store manager finally couldn't help but ask the question in his heart, "Miss Shimizu just now, and now she's a strange and beautiful girl... Nazuka, you really don't want to find a girlfriend?"

"How could I..." Naizukahiko looked helpless.

"Then you can provoke girls like this." The store manager's words blocked his defense.

"This is all unintentional... Manager, if I really want to find a girlfriend, will I still be on the night shift?" Nazuhiko held back for a while before speaking again, "Don't you need time to spend with your girlfriend?"

"Also... But what are you doing with this Fukuzawa Yukichi? If I don't give an explanation, I can't give it to you directly."

Nazuhiko was silent for a while.

How does this make him explain?

Because Quan Youyue is greedy for money, so you want to return the original Fukuzawa Yukichi to her?

But she didn't make such an excessive request. It was purely because Naizukahiko saw the girl's sleeping appearance and had some other thoughts. That's why she wanted to make up for the grievances she had suffered before, and made a temporary move.

"Forget it, I believe you once." While thinking about it, the store manager's thick palm fell on Naizukahiko's shoulder, "But remember, after you get the money back from Miss Shimizu, you have to come back quickly and make up the money. .

"If I let the boss know that I gave you the money already in the cash box without leaving any credentials, he would have to scolded me before giving up." The store manager sighed helplessly, "Take it, count me. It's unfortunate that I met such a troublesome kid like you."

After speaking, he shoved Fukuzawa Yukichi into Naizukahiko's hands, turned around and went back to the lounge.

Only Nazuhiko was left standing there.

"By the way, since I helped you, Naizuka, you have to work harder today and help me in the next shift." The store manager's voice came, with a little yawn, "I only slept three times yesterday. Hours, I can't stand it anymore."

"Store manager, so you gave me this Fukuzawa Yukichi because you wanted to make up for sleep?" Naizuka Yan shouted from behind.

The store manager stopped in place, turned around, and wanted to say something.

"Thank you, store manager." He saw Naizukahiko bow deeply.

The store manager was stunned for a few seconds, "You guy, you're really convinced me, alas..."

He shook his head and turned around, not stopping.

Nazukahiko watched the store manager disappear, and turned his attention to Fukuzawa Yukichi in his hand.

"Little brother, is there anything else to eat in the store?" A question came from the door of the store.

"Yes, there is still a lot of Oden." Naizukahiko put away Fukuzawa Yukichi and looked at the guest who entered the door, "What do you want?"

"Two pieces of tofu, two large roots, two pieces of shiitake mushrooms, and two more lucky bags."

"Okay, wait a minute."

……

Before seven o'clock in the morning, not long after the sun rose, the store manager, who was at least [-]% full, walked out of the staff lounge and kicked Nazukahiko out of the convenience store.

In his words, "Quickly go to Miss Shimizu's house to get the money, you are still working, hurry up."

However, Nazukahiko knew that this senior was enough to take care of him - the round-trip time was at most half an hour, and when he actually got off work, it was still half an hour earlier than the stipulated eight o'clock in the morning.

After being late, he didn't care about being late and allowed him to leave early... I can only say that this senior is a gentle person.

With such emotion, Nazukahiko passed by Norazaka once again.

The cats who hid in the bushes at night couldn't wait to lie down on the road and enjoy the sun to the fullest.

Even if Nazuhiko passed by, he just looked up lazily and closed it again.

"It's really difficult for me too... The cats here can enjoy the sun bathing leisurely, I can't even sleep well at night." Nazukahiko looked at the group of cats in front of him, and his mood was complicated.

Naizuka Yan finally walked out of Norazaka after carefully passing through the stray cats who were lying on their stomachs and the stray cats, who blocked the road and made it difficult to walk.

The sun was a bit dazzling, so he had to raise his hand to block it.

"Mizuka-kun? I thought you would get off work at eight o'clock." The figure in front of him was not clear enough, but his voice was quite recognizable.

Nazukahiko put down his hand and saw Yu Himuro who was bathed in sunlight.

She was still wearing the light blue blouse from yesterday, but the blouse and skirt had changed.

Speaking of which, every time I saw Bingshi classmates, I basically dressed in two or three colors...unless Aunt Bingshi chose the clothes for her.

Seeing this scene, Naizukahiko had such an idea in his heart.

The problem of visual impairment is reflected in color, that is, girls are not sensitive to color recognition, and their clothes are elegant and refreshing.

Coupled with the girl's extraordinary face, this is not any problem. On the contrary, since Naizukahiko met the girl, from time to time there are boys who regard her as a goddess and want to get close to Yumuro.

At that time, Naizukahiko was used as a natural shield by girls.

Every time someone invited or asked, she said she had made an appointment with Naizuka, or used similar excuses.

In short, at that time, he seemed to be tied to his side unintentionally by a girl.

Among them, there may also be Takeshi Hiimuro - that is, some deviations in the teaching of the girl's father, but Naizukahiko wants to come now, but he feels that he was determined to leave at that time. Maybe there are reasons for this.

Naizukahiko's mind flashed a lot in the short ten-mile walk to Yuu Hiashiro, and when he came to the girl, all he could do was ask, "Why is Hiashiro-kun here?"

"I rested shortly after Naizuka-kun left yesterday, so I got up a little early today." The girl's eyes wandered on Naizuka's face and the group of cats not far away.

"Oh..." Noticing the girl's eyes, Nazuhiko turned around and chuckled, "It's called Norasaka because there are a lot of wild cats and there is a small soil slope."

"It looks like a good place. When I have time, I will paint them a picture." There was a little tenderness in the girl's eyes.

Perhaps due to insensitivity to color recognition, Yuu Hiroshima once thought of practicing painting to overcome this problem.

In the end, of course, it was unsuccessful.

However, painting does not necessarily require bright colors, and Yuu Hiimuro did not give up the habit that has become a hobby because painting cannot improve visual impairment.

As for the direction... When painting in black and white, it will naturally gradually tilt towards the direction of the comics.

It's just that the time of Nazukahiko's departure was a little subtle, and it happened to be when the girl was about to start studying manga seriously.Therefore, he is not clear about what will change in the future.

"Speaking of this, Hiimuro-san." Nazukahiko suddenly remembered the elective course, "Is the elective course you choose to offer related to comics?"

"Nazuka-kun still remember?" The girl asked the same question as yesterday, and there seemed to be a light flashing in her eyes.

"Remember, I just don't know where Hiimuro-san has reached now." Nazukahiko smiled, "If possible, let's say I wrote a light novel someday, would Hiimuro-san be interested in taking charge of the illustration?"

"If there is." Yu Himuro looked at him with a warmer tone, "Definitely."

"You don't have to give me the answer so seriously, I haven't planned to start writing yet..." Naizukahiko snapped his fingers, "When I really want to write, I will definitely tell Hiimuro-kun."

"Yeah." The girl answered in short syllables.

After turning back and looking at the group of cats behind for a moment, Naizukahiko remembered that he still had things to do.

"Student Bingshi, keep looking at the cat, I have to do something." He turned away, turned his back to the girl, and ran away with a small step, "It's not yet time for get off work, I'll go back to the convenience store in a while! "

Yu Himuro stood quietly in the sun, watching him run in the direction of the light, with a little doubt in his heart.
