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

Chapter 42

Today's dinner is very simple. There are tamagoyaki, rice balls with plums in the middle, and tofu miso soup on the table.

"My mother just sent me a message, saying that she should be home at noon tomorrow." Nagata Chinatsu drank a small amount of soup and told the news.

"Then, why don't you go to my house to make up for your classes starting tomorrow?" Shirakawa Kazuya put a piece of tamagoyaki in his mouth, and the sweet taste of eggs and milk spread on the tip of his tongue.

It seems that my cooking skills are increasing day by day, yes, it is worthwhile to gain my experience in cooking every day.

"She is quite satisfied with my results in the last academic assessment and thinks I have found a good teacher. I will talk to her after she comes back and she should be able to continue to stay at my house to make up lessons."

Nagata Chika pinched the rice ball, a soft and elastic feeling came from her fingertips.

"Hey, is Chinatsu-nee's mother's business trip over?" Xiangzi put the plum in the rice ball into her mouth, and the sweet and sour taste stimulated the secretion of saliva.

"Yes, it seems that the flight will depart from Haneda Airport at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. But I heard that this business trip does not seem to be going well." Nagata Chinatsu was a little worried.

Shirakawa Kazuya rolled the layer of seaweed wrapped around the rice ball into his mouth with his tongue, and asked curiously, "Didn't you say that there was a meeting at the headquarters? Is there going to be layoffs? But your mother is the manager, no matter how many layoffs there are, It won’t affect her.”

COLOWIDE Group is a Japanese catering group that occupies a considerable influence in the Japanese catering market and also occupies a certain market share in Southeast Asia and other regions.It can be said to be one of Japan's catering giants.

"It's not about layoffs. My mother didn't explain it in detail. It's probably because the headquarters in Tokyo wanted to expand into new markets across the country, so they set up pilot projects in various places. My mother is mainly in charge of Fukuoka, but She didn’t have a clear idea of ​​which approach to take.”

"What does this mean?" Xiangzi didn't know much about this.

"The main business scope of the COLOWIDE Catering Group is izakaya, barbecue, sushi and shabu-shabu restaurants. My mother hasn't decided which one to make, because once the decision is made, it is not so easy to change. I guess After she comes back, she will have to discuss it with the people in the company to get the result."

"This shouldn't sound like a bad thing." Bai Chuanhe also ate the rice ball, a little puzzled.

"If it can be successfully operated, it will definitely be a good thing, and promotions and salary increases are certain. But the head office is very strict. If the pilot is not done well, the evaluation of the Fukuoka subsidiary at the headquarters will be lowered, like Management like my mother will definitely be affected as well.”

"I see, which store is more popular here in Fukuoka?"

Shirakawa Kazuya has only been living here for more than a month, and he only runs back and forth between school and home on weekdays. It can be said that he has basically no understanding of the situation here.

"Yakiniku restaurants and shabu-shabu restaurants have well-known brands in the local area. I think it is not easy to break through in these two areas. As for izakaya and sushi, I think we can consider it."

Nagata Chinatsu briefly recalled the specific local situation and made her choice between an izakaya or sushi.

Shirakawa Kazuya hasn't been to the izakaya yet, but he has eaten sushi a few times.He was also very cautious about this field that he didn't know much about, so he didn't speak for a while.

"It seems that there are many famous old conveyor belt sushi restaurants here." Xiangzi expressed her opinion.

"Hey, Xiangzi, how did you know?" Shirakawa Kazuya was a little curious. Is his sister already familiar with the local market not long after arriving here?
"I saw it in a magazine. The shopping mall in front of the school used to give away magazines. I saw one of the food introductions, and there was a column in it about conveyor belt sushi. In Fukuoka, there is something like the Gourd conveyor belt in Tenjin District. Sushi and Ono Sushi in Hakata area are both famous!”

"How about the izakaya? Are there any particularly famous izakayas in the Sarada Ward?" They live in the Sarada Ward of Fukuoka.

"It doesn't seem to be too famous. Besides, stores like izakayas are mainly places where office workers go to have a drink at night. They are very small and can be found everywhere."

As the person who has lived in Fukuoka for the longest time among the three, Chinatsu Nagata gave the answer after a little recall.

"Then it's a good choice not to settle down in a wine shop." Shirakawa Kazuya lowered his head and thought for a moment, and began to think about the feasibility.

But not long after, he raised his head again and said with a smile, "What are the three of us doing? Doing business analysis? Your mother will definitely discuss this kind of thing with the professionals in the company, so we don't have to worry about it. We are still thinking about what to do. It would be more practical to improve your score in the next exam."

"That's right. After eating, the soup has become cold." So the three of them stopped discussing the matter and concentrated on destroying the food on the table.After eating, the three of them gathered around the table and drank barley tea. After chatting for a while, Shirakawa Kazuya took Xiangzi to say goodbye.

The two families were very close to each other. After walking for about 5 minutes, they returned home.

After changing into indoor shoes at the entrance, Shirakawa Kazuya yawned and sat at the desk, preparing for a new round of study.Xiangzi also sat in the kotatsu and read a book.

She has a two-day exam starting tomorrow and is currently preparing nervously for the exam.

"Xiangzi, don't be so nervous." Shirakawa Kazuya saw that Xiangzi had stopped reading magazines for the past two days and started studying as soon as she got home. He was worried that she wouldn't adapt well, so he comforted her.

"It's okay, Onisan. Aren't you also studying until late? I can do it too, let's work hard together!" Xiangzi smiled, showing some tired dark circles.

She had her own reasons for doing this. Firstly, her Ounisang was already the first in her grade, and she did not want to embarrass him. Secondly, she also had her own persistence in her heart. Although she was a student from the countryside, she was not as good as a city person. It doesn't have to be stupid in comparison!
Shirakawa Kazu also agreed with this idea, and stopped asking, thinking about making something nutritious for Xiangzi in the past two days. It just happened that I saw a frozen old hen in the refrigerator of Nagata Chika's house, and I can cook chicken soup next time .

He opened the system panel.

Each of his attribute points has increased a little, but his skills have not changed except that his swordsmanship has been upgraded by one level.Medical skills, drawing, etc. are because they have not practiced at all. Cooking skills are too much experience to upgrade, and they have not broken through to level ten so far.

However, during the time he was working as a chef at Nagata Chinatsu's house, his experience value should have increased a lot. He felt that the day of his breakthrough was not far away.

Maybe he should brush up the experience points of medical skills?But he still doesn't know how to upgrade in this aspect, he can't practice medicine without a license!This is illegal.

Maybe I can buy a bronze man and come back to do acupuncture?He thought for a while and had no idea, so he put it behind him and concentrated on doing the test paper.

The clock reached 11:30, and Xiangzi couldn't bear it anymore. After washing up in a daze, she made the bed and got into bed and fell asleep.

Another half hour later, Shirakawa Kazuya quietly packed his schoolbag, washed briefly by the sink, and then yawned and made a bed on the tatami.

Looking at Xiangzi who has fallen asleep on the other side of the kotatsu, she smacks her lips from time to time.He smiled silently and said goodnight softly.

He turned off the desk lamp, and the small room became quiet, only the slight breathing of the two remained.Shirakawa Kazuya put his hands behind his head, and did not fall asleep for a while, listening to the night wind blowing against the window.

Have you slowly adapted to this kind of life without realizing it?I met Chinatsu Nagata, Koko Hashimoto, Chihaya Tsukiike and Masamune Kawakami, played kendo, and joined a club. It’s been a month, it’s gone by so fast.

It is now the end of April, and the slowly dying cherry blossoms outside the window are the best proof of the passage of time.
