I just want to live in peace, I refuse to fall in love

Chapter 19 Who brings bedding to a date?
The two met a department store on the way to the noodle shop.

"Onisan, the sign outside says there's a discount. Do you want to buy everything first?"

Sure enough, girls from the above countries will get excited when they see discounts.But originally I just wanted to buy daily necessities, so let’s go in and take a look.

Shirakawa Kazuya thought to himself, with a smile on his face, "Okay, maybe you can buy futons at a discounted price."

It was the first time for both of them to come to this department store. For a while, they couldn't find where the bedding was sold. Instead, they were attracted by the various packages on the shelves in the snack area and bought several bags of cookies and various flavors. potato chips.

"This is the first time I've seen chocolate-flavored potato chips."

“Wow, they actually sell Morinaga’s cheesecake here! I’ve seen this on Twitter before, but the store in Kuyama Town doesn’t sell them at all!”

Shirakawa Kazuya looked where her finger was and found the orange boxed snack.

I seem to have heard Nagata Chinatsu mention this before. Morinaga is a well-known food brand in Japan and can be said to be a century-old brand.Among them, the cheese cubes can be regarded as one of the star products.

"Buy a box and try it?" Shirakawa Kazuya asked with a smile.

"Onisan, you are so kind!"

After wandering around some more, I finally saw the "Bedding" sign next to the toy section.The two looked around and finally chose a pink quilt.After asking the clerk to get a new set from the warehouse, he went to the nearby shelf to select slippers.

"Which style do you want?"

"Choose this little bear one. It looks silly and cute."

After walking around for more than half an hour, the two came out of the store carrying large and small bags.

Looking at the big bag in his hand, Shirakawa Kazuya had a headache. "How about we put the things back first?"

"But I'm so hungry, I'm about to die." Hashimoto Kouko rubbed her flat stomach.

"Okay, then we can only hope that there are not many customers in the ramen shop and there is room for us to put our things."

"You should apologize to the ramen shop owner for saying such things!"

When the two were discussing how to drive away the customers who still occupied their seats after eating the ramen, the long blue noren curtain swaying gently in the wind at the entrance of the ramen shop appeared in front of them.

Entering the store, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.Maybe it's because a wave of diners have just left, so there are a lot of empty seats at this time.

Shirakawa Kazuya ordered a side of fried noodles with sauce, Hashimoto Kyouko ordered a side of beef rice bowl, and found a seat in the corner to sit down.

"This store has been open for a long time. I have been here once before and it tastes pretty good." Shirakawa Kazuya introduced.

"There was an izakaya in my hometown, but it closed down because the food was too unpalatable. Since this restaurant has been able to stay open in a big city like Fukuoka for so long, there is only one truth. It's that the boss's craftsmanship is very good!"

Hashimoto Koko said the simple truth in a very noble tone. At this time, she had given up the hell burial knife and transformed into the Sherlock Holmes detective in the foggy city.

"You can understand this kind of thing after just a little thought, Detective Xiangzi."

"Shh, Assistant Watson, it's rude to talk about other people in person."

"Okay, I understand. It seems I didn't think carefully."

Hashimoto Kyouko looked back at the boss who was still chopping onions and said, "Let's keep our voices down and talk about him quietly behind his back."

Kidding.

Shirakawa Kazuya watched Hashimoto Kouko take some time off and quietly wait for lunch.Just point to the photos on the wall and introduce them to her one by one.

"This tall one is Fukuoka Tower, the one with water and sky is Hakata Canal City, and the one with the big ginkgo tree is Kushida Shrine." He repeated what Nagata Chinatsu said to him before, and didn't think there was any problem.Knowledge and common sense, once learned and remembered, are your own!

"Wow, Onisan, you are so awesome and know so much!"

Hashimoto Kouko believed that Shirakawa Kazuya had just arrived in Fukuoka not long ago and had no time to go out on vacation.You must have read a lot of local news and books to understand it so clearly.I made up my mind to learn from Ou Nisang and read more books to enrich myself.

Kazuma Kawaguchi, the owner of the ramen shop, put the onion slices half a centimeter wide aside, and took off the leaves of celery.

"This boy looks familiar."

Kawaguchi was thinking as he poured the sauce made with mirin and white wine into the pan, turned it on to medium heat, and added the onions.

"Remembering it, I think I came here to eat noodles once before. That's right, it's pancake udon noodles. I have an impression."

He placed the thinly sliced ​​beef on top of the onions that had been cooked to a transparent state and stirred it up and down with a wooden spatula to cook it evenly.

"He seemed to be here with a girl last time. Who was it? It doesn't feel like the girl next to him now."

Kawaguchi placed the cooked beef and onions on the white rice with clear grains, poured the sauce, and finally put a few slices of duck celery on top as a decoration.

"Hey, I remember it. She's the daughter of the Nagata family, right? They seemed to be in love at that time?"

He picked up the cooked noodles from the cauldron and stir-fried them in a frying pan with bean sprouts and red peppers.

"Although this boy is very handsome, he can't have such fun. He has a new girlfriend in less than a week? It seems that I am really old and can't understand today's young people."

While thinking wildly, Kazuma Kawaguchi poured the salad oil and the mixed special sauce into it.There was smoke coming out of the frying pan, and there was a "sizzling" sound.The special sauce he uses is a mixture of medium-thick sauce, Worcestershire sauce and tomato sauce, and customers who have eaten it are full of praise for it.

"Looking at the outfit, are the two living together?"

He glanced at the two people in the corner, and found the bedding in the large transparent bag.He hurriedly turned his head back, and continued to stir the noodles in the wok over high heat.

Kazuma Kawaguchi was not surprised that they might be living together.Dating is a common phenomenon among Japanese college students. After all, girls can get married at the age of 16.In today's situation, it is common for couples to go on a blind date or get married right after graduating from high school.

"It's just a pity that this child from the Nagata family looks like a beauty and has a very quiet and well-behaved personality. I just experienced a failed relationship, so I guess I feel bad."

He put the noodles in the pot on a plate and sprinkled a handful of white sesame seeds on top.

"Wait a minute, is this child Nagata kept in the dark? Did these two people sneak out on a date behind her back? That's not right, who brings a bedding on a date?"

Kazuma Kawaguchi no longer thought about it and brought the prepared fried noodles with sauce and beef rice bowl to the guests' table.

Sitting opposite, Hashimoto Koko sniffed it with her little nose, "It smells so good."

She dug into the beef rice bowl with a spoon and stuffed it into her mouth in big mouthfuls, just like a little squirrel storing food.

Shirakawa Kazuya tasted the sauce fried noodles and found that the heat of the noodles was well controlled and slightly crispy in the mouth. The bean sprouts and meat slices dipped in the sauce were even more delicious.

Why is this boss looking at me so strangely?

Maybe an illusion.

Shirakawa Kazuya was thinking as he put the sauce fried noodles into his mouth.

　Go to bed early and get up early. Good health. Good night everyone.
