Can't You Skip Dating? / Can't You Just Like the Body?

The kotatsu on a winter night is always extraordinarily nostalgic.

After taking a bath, Akira Ogihara was paralyzed in the kotatsu, playing PS4 to pass the time, because the switch has been packed into the suitcase by Nanami, and Shiyu's new book is also ready to read in Kyoto. Of course, the most important thing is that Nanami has today. something to say.

After a while, Nanami, who had taken a shower, also had her hair covered, and went upstairs with tea, sitting by the kotatsu as usual, pouring hot tea.

Ogihara Akira paused the game, turned off the sound, picked up the teacup to blow the heat, and took a careful sip.

Qi Hai didn't have the heart to drink slowly like that, and couldn't stand the heat so much. At this moment, he was just holding the teacup, sitting there a little uneasy, trying to calm down.

Ogihara realized that what she was going to say today should be very important from Qihai's special greeting in advance. Looking at her at the moment, he realized that it might not be just important, but a little serious.

Ogihara Ming put down the teacup and said first, "Are you going to resign?"

Nanami was stunned for a moment, then shook his head hastily and said, "No no no! Of course not, why does Mr. Ogihara think so?"

Ogihara Ming breathed a sigh of relief, lay back on the lazy sofa, and picked up the teacup again: "Who made you look so serious, I thought it was something that could kill me."

In this case, Nanami is a little happy... No, she should be very happy, and let her follow her recent shameful mood and ask carefully: "Mr. Ogihara doesn't want me to resign?"

"You don't even want to look at what I'm living like now." Ogihara moved his neck lazily, "It's easy to change from frugality to luxury, and it's difficult to change from luxury to frugality. This makes you take care of it, and occasionally live alone for a couple of times. It's okay, I really can't stand to go back to living alone."

Nanami probed further and said, "Isn't there Miss Hayasaka?"

"Hayasaka, she can do a good job, but if you really quit, I probably won't hire her."

"why?"

"Because she's used to staying at the Si Gong's house, and now she's become the eldest lady again, so she won't let the hundreds of thousands of monthly salary be fooled and give up and sell herself."

This teasing answer made Qihai blushed and said angrily, "How could it be just because of the monthly salary!"

Ogihara Ming smiled happily, and his tone was a little more serious: "Okay, let's not make trouble, but I really don't want to hire Hayasaka, after all, she probably doesn't want to work very much, although if I ask her to be a maid, she will definitely It will come, but I don't want to make such an uncomfortable request."

Nanami blinked and asked softly, "What if Miss Hayasaka is willing?"

"Yes, but then you have to wait until you really don't want to do it." Ogihara Ming vaguely noticed something and asked, "Why did you ask this all of a sudden?"

Nanami hesitated for a moment, then said slowly: "I was just thinking that Miss Hayasaka should do better than me, if you want her to come..."

Ogihara Ming was not happy at that time: "Why, I have made enough money from me, so I want to run away."

"Of course it doesn't mean that! I just think that Mr. Ogihara could have been better taken care of..."

Hearing this, Ogihara Ming frowned strangely.

Should I say it's a bull's-eye, or should I say...

Ogihara said thoughtfully: "Oh, I probably understand what you mean, but such an idea should show that you lack a sense of trust in me, or that you lack a sense of security?"

"I……"

Nanami wanted to say that he had complete trust in Ogihara Akira, but he couldn't say it when the words came to his lips.

Because considering whether Ogihara Ming will replace himself, it can indeed be called a kind of distrust.

Seeing Qihai's expression of hesitating to speak, Ogihara Ming basically settled down and said a few more words.

"People go to high places and water flows to low places. It's true that everyone wants something better, but it's not necessary to pursue extreme good everywhere, especially the relationship between people and people. It shouldn't be included in that."

"My current life is very comfortable for you to take care of, and I don't have any dissatisfaction with you. Even if there is, I will give you a request to correct or learn, instead of changing a maid like pursuing a new generation of electronic products, Unless you've acted beyond my tolerance."

Holding the teacup, Ogihara Ming continued: "This is not because of nostalgia or moral issues, but to say that when people get along with each other, there will be feelings, and everyone is irreplaceable. At first I wanted to It was a maid, which is indeed a position, and now, the situation has become 'Qingshan Qihai is my maid'."

No matter when, the words "you are mine" will always make people feel strongly, even in a not-so-good relationship, at least it will give people a strong disgust.

As for the Seven Seas, of course the positive feedback was generated.

With a strong sense of belonging and a somewhat accelerated heartbeat, Nanami lowered his head slightly and listened carefully to Ogihara Akira's voice.

"This is no longer a merit-based admission position, but has become a relationship between me and you, as long as there is no irreparable rift or distance, it will not disappear. All in all, I never thought about changing people, I don't want to be replaced."

"The above is an explanation for your sense of security. I ignored it before, and it should not be too late to make up for it now."

After saying this, Ogihara took a sip of tea.

Feeling the strong sense of security in his heart, Nanami scratched his face embarrassedly: "Master doesn't have to explain to the maid like this..."

Ogihara breathed a sigh of heat, and while feeling the aroma of the tea comfortably, he said, "Why not, the expression on your face just now was like testing whether I would divorce and change my wife, but it made me nervous."

This is obviously very wrong, and there seems to be no strange metaphor that is wrong, making Nanami blushing again: "Mr. Ogihara What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Oh, it's almost the same thing, okay, okay, it's just a metaphor, don't worry about it."

Ogihara Ming took the initiative to skip this fun. After all, fun is something that needs to be stopped in moderation. If you play it excessively, it will not only become unfun, but may also be beaten.

With a smile, Ogihara asked again: "So what? What are you trying to say today?"

Qi Hai rubbed his flushed face, pursed his lips and remained silent for a few seconds. After calming down, he said hard, "I want to tell you today that I'm actually a very bad person."

Ogihara nodded: "Oh."

In Nanami's view, this response was obviously too bland, so she said in a more serious tone: "It's really bad, like what I said just now, when Miss Hayasaka said she would help me with some of the work, I was always afraid, afraid of her. would take my... position."

said it.

Although it was a topic that had already been tentatively discussed and received a very reassuring response, Nanami was still uneasy when he actually revealed his ugly thoughts.

But I finally said it well, and doing so should be able to face it properly.

In the slightly quiet air, Nanami lowered his head slightly, waiting for the trial.

The result was a "frivolous response" that surprised her.

Ogihara Ming was holding the teacup, and his face was so big that he would delay Lao Tzu's dislike of playing games: "Ah? That's it?"

Qi Hai was a little stunned, so he could only follow the expected presentation process and continued with confusion: "There's something else... Wait, don't you think it's bad for me to think like this?"

"I think, is it alright?"

"But Miss Hayasaka is my mentor! She has been teaching me patiently, thinking about me very carefully, and helping me, but for my own benefit, I suspect her like this..."

Ogihara didn't let Qihai finish, he reached out and touched her head, and said with a loving smile: "Silly boy, people are actually like this. The bad thoughts in my heart are much more than yours, and they are also much worse."

Nanami's self-blame momentum stopped a little, and he asked suspiciously, "Is that so... What did Mr. Ogihara think about?"

Ogihara Ming immediately withdrew his hand and looked away: "Don't say it, I'm afraid you will stay far away from now on."

"It won't."

"Don't say that."

Ogihara Akira's will is very firm, because the world is very dark, and whoever TM really listens to the words "everyone is a scoundrel, show your XP and see", who is an idiot.

Don't look at Nanami's oath now, if Ogihara Mingzhen says that he has a little thought about Iwanaga Qinzi's eye sockets, you can see if she runs away.

Oh of course, not that kind of inhuman strength, just a little... curious.

Yes, curiosity, at most, the kind of curiosity that is just a slight test.

After all, human beings have evolved to achieve today's achievements, relying on sufficient curiosity and enterprising spirit, so when faced with some new things that have never been tried and the opportunity is extremely rare, it is normal to want to try.

In fact, there are some normal ones that have already been "bad", such as taking Hayasaka Ai for a walk in the house, but if you say it, Nanami's san value drop will probably be higher.

Relatively speaking, Qi Hai's dark and careful thoughts that are afraid of being discarded are really nothing, not to mention that she is obviously full of self-reproach and self-control about it, and she mustered the courage to take the initiative to confess, which is even less of a problem.

Ogihara ignored Nanami's curious eyes, nodded his head, and said solemnly, "I should have told you before that it's not important what people think, but what they do, because people will be out of control. Thoughts arise, but you can control your actions.”

"So when you have bad thoughts, you don't have to be busy with self-blame and guilt, but you should think about it and figure out how to choose."

"If you choose to do nothing, then you can stand upright in front of her, and it doesn't matter what you think in your heart; if you choose to do something, you need to figure out where the limit should be and what the consequences will be. As long as you are willing to bear the consequences, make sure If you don’t regret it yourself, that’s okay too.”

After that, Akira Ogihara's tone relaxed a bit, shrugged and said, "That's what I did anyway."

These words are easy to understand, and it makes Nanami suddenly enlightened and let go of the guilt of suspicious of Hayasaka Ai.

Looking back, those dirty thoughts seem to be nothing.

Because I can honestly tell myself, I don't want to do anything.

"I see, thank you Ogihara-san."

Holding the tea at the right temperature, Qi Hai took a few sips slowly, soothing her tired body and spirit. After all, from the afternoon, everything that happened to her was very important, and it was impossible not to get tired.

Ogihara Ming also saw that Qi Hai's spirit was not very good, and said with concern: "Tired today? Go to bed early."

"...Sorry, I might have to bother you again, and one last thing."

"Huh? Let's talk about it."

The other problem is not so bad, but it is also very special, special enough to change people's views of her, even if she realizes that Ogihara Ming will not dislike her "dirty" side, it still makes her a little uneasy.

Putting down the teacup, Nanami asked earnestly, "What if I want to put aside my seiyuu dream, not to give up, but to put it in a less important position?"

This question interested Ogihara Akira: "What's the reason?"

"The opportunity for me to become a seiyuu was when I was praised by my teacher for a reading aloud in elementary school. I took this as an opportunity to become interested in voice work. After I told my father, I was strongly opposed, but it made me look for it as if it were a competition. down this road."

Speaking of this very ordinary beginning, Nanami gradually calmed down and continued: "Now, I still want to challenge the road of voice acting, participate in the dubbing work, and get some achievements and appreciation, but I have other things I want to do. things like going to a welfare institution as a volunteer, learning more about other things, like taking good care of your life, and…”

"For another example, I want to go out with my friends for the weekend..."

At the end, Nanami lowered his head in embarrassment, and his voice became much smaller.

Ogihara Ming couldn't help but smile: "Isn't this good, what are you worried about?"

Nanami replied embarrassedly: "You said that one of the reasons for giving me this job is to support me in fulfilling my dream. With your help, I finally crossed the threshold and became an official voice actress, but I didn't want to try so hard. now..."

"Didn't you say that you still want to challenge the road of seiyuu? Since it can be called a challenge, it means that when you receive a job, you will do your best."

"of course."

"Then there's no problem."

Ogihara Ming said so, dragged away the big black who climbed up on his leg at an unknown time, in exchange for a hum of dissatisfaction, and then patted his leg and said, "Come here."

The meaning of this action, Qi Hai can already understand it very familiarly, although he is still a little shy, but it is impossible to refuse.

She got up and sat on the two-seater sofa, lay down on her side with a blushing face, and put her pillow on Ogihara Akira's lap, letting Ogihara Akira stroke her hair and face, closed her eyes comfortably, and let out a comfortable sigh.

In such a state, both of them almost have some sense of habit.

Until then, Akira Ogihara continued: "People do their best for one thing, either out of extreme enthusiasm for taking it as the meaning of life, such as the little painter in your Sakura Village, or out of survival. Pressure, such as the average office worker. You should have neither of these two points."

Nanami was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.

She is really devoted to seiyuu, but she thinks that she can't reach the real world. When she is painting, the painting in front of her is the realm of her whole world. As for the pressure of survival, at present, the package of food and accommodation, high salary and year-end In front of the award, there is no such thing.

After being confirmed by Nanami, Akira Ogihara continued: "Now you should have no pressure to survive, and the meaning of life is always determined by what you want. In the past, all you wanted was to be a voice actress, so you have to go to school outside of school. All of your energy is put into this, working part-time is just to support your life, but now, there are more things you want to do."
