Tokyo's most affectionate

Because Chizuru hasn't finished taking a bath yet, Igarashi Runa couldn't help but sigh while there was still time.

"Any job?"

Kurosawa Hikaru felt a little dry in the mouth, so he took a sip of ice water and asked.

"The person in charge of the Cat Carnival endorsement project would like to meet with you to formally agree on the filming time for the commercial."

"In a few days."

"You don't have time tomorrow? I remembered you said you were free on Monday." Igarashi Runa was a little confused.

"I plan to shoot a music video tomorrow."

"Is it so sudden?"

“Actions speak louder than words, and not everything can be planned before action.”

"That's true."

Igarashi Runa thought about it and did not object to this decision.

"Runa, who rang the doorbell just now?"

Before they could chat for long, the bedroom door opened and Ninomiya Chizuru walked out, wiping her wet blue hair with a towel in her hand. She was wearing a dark blue pajamas with white polka dots. As she raised her hand, the cuffs fell down, revealing her wrists as white as jade.

This posture is homely, relaxed and defenseless.

She was wearing a pair of slippers, and her slightly wet toes looked like neatly arranged grapes, looking very pink and delicious.

As she walked out step by step, her eyes swept over Kurosawa Hikaru and her movements froze.

"It's Kurosawa who's here."

Seeing her stiffness, Igarashi Runa felt guilty and explained with a forced smile.

"How did you come?"

Ninomiya Chizuru took a deep breath and asked.

"He has made up his mind. He has something he wants to discuss with you, so he came here."

Igarashi Runa heard this question and answered it for him.

"..."

Realizing that she was protecting Kurosawa, Ninomiya Chizuru looked at her deeply, then thought for a moment and walked towards the sofa.

Seeing her coming, Kurosawa Mitsuru opened his mouth and was about to speak.

"Is it something important?"

But at this moment, Ninomiya Chizuru suddenly spoke, interrupting his rhythm.

At the same time, she glanced at Kurosawa and signaled him to be quiet.

“It should be very important.”

Igarashi Runa noticed her gaze and was very concerned about Kurosawa's arrival, feeling a little guilty.

She had welcomed Kurosawa in without asking Chizuru in advance, which was a bit over the line.

"Hmph~ Tell me about it."

When Ninomiya Chizuru heard this, she pondered for a moment, then walked over to Runa's side and sat down.

She tilted her head slightly, and wiped her damp hair with a pure white towel in both hands. Her expression was calm, and it was hard to guess what she was thinking, which made her look quite oppressive.

It was impossible to tell her mood, but Igarashi Runa felt that she had laid the groundwork well, so she turned her head and glanced at Kurosawa Hikaru, indicating that it was time for him to speak.

"I……"

Kurosawa Mitsuru opened his mouth, wanting to speak, but he froze.

Because when Miss Runa turned her head and looked at him, Chizuru was also looking at him, her beautiful eyes staring at him, as if to say "Don't make a sound."

Faced with this situation, who should he listen to?

"Say it quickly."

Seeing that he was at a loss for words, Igarashi Runa was really anxious. Her bright red lips moved, urging him with lip language.

This guy seemed so energetic when he was at the door just now, but why did he become timid when he saw Chizuru?

"Kurosawa plans to release the song 'Adeelina by the Water' next."

Igarashi Runa noticed that he was silent for a long time, and because he had made Chizuru wait for too long, she simply turned around and explained on his behalf.

"and then?"

Finally, her best friend spoke. When Ninomiya Chizuru noticed that her best friend was about to turn around, she retracted her gaze and nodded slightly.

"He wants you to be the heroine of the music video."

Igarashi Runa didn't notice her little actions behind her back, because Kurosawa was too useless, so she had to take the blame herself.

"No."

Hearing this, Ninomiya Chizuru couldn't help but look at Kurosawa, and then shook her head.

"He felt that you had to be the heroine of this music video because it was written for the piano piece you composed."

Igarashi Runa was not surprised to see her reaction and continued.

"I know, but it still doesn't work."

"Why not? Are you still mad at him?"

"Zero Hour's influence is too great now. If I were to be the heroine of the MV and post it online, the teachers and students of the University of Tokyo would recognize me. I used to be a teacher at the University of Tokyo. Once this matter is exposed, it will definitely be big news regardless of the result, whether good or bad."

Ninomiya Chizuru did not give a direct answer, but just expressed her own opinion.

As a former teacher, she was well aware of the social status and influence of teachers at the University of Tokyo.

"You don't have to post it online. As long as you are the heroine of the MV, just shoot it and we will keep it in the office."

Seeing that she would not agree, Igarashi Runa spoke again.

This was the best of both worlds that she thought of. Kurosawa could both appease Chizuru and prevent her from appearing in public.

Moreover, this strategy uses a second-best strategy, which is to first make an unreasonable request, and then make a relatively reasonable request. Chizuru is likely to agree.

“If you don’t want to post it online, why film it?”

Ninomiya Chizuru still did not waver and asked in confusion.

"Uh……"

Faced with this question, Igarashi Runa was immediately speechless.

It's really weird to not say what you should say and to relay other people's words and thoughts.

Originally, these words, spoken by Kurosawa, could move people's emotions and make them understandable.

But now, she was stuck between the two of them, feeling very awkward.

"Chizuru, let me be honest with you. Kurosawa said that if you don't become the heroine of the MV, this song will not be released...but the fans have been looking forward to the release of this song."

Although she was speechless for a moment, Igarashi Runa quickly thought of a solution and explained the difficulties.

"You threatened her?"

Hearing this, Ninomiya Chizuru raised her eyes with lightning speed, looked at Kurosawa Mitsuru on the side, and said in a cold voice.

Faced with such questioning, Kurosawa Mitsuru quickly shook his head to deny it.

Are you kidding? How could he threaten Miss Runa? He would never admit to such a false accusation even if he was beaten to death.

"He didn't threaten me."

This sudden questioning was beyond Igarashi Runa's expectations, and she hurried to help Kurosawa smooth things over.

"But from what you said just now, he was completely threatening you and wanted to use you as a hostage to coerce me."

When Ninomiya Chizuru saw that she said this, her cold and angry look disappeared and she said.

"He really didn't mean that. He was just very depressed and didn't want to play the piano anymore."

Igarashi Runa shook her head like a rattle, and in order to change her negative opinion, I hurriedly said nice things.

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Ninomiya Chizuru raised the corners of her mouth slightly, looked at Kurosawa Mitsuru, and couldn't help laughing.

"You don't know, Kurosawa can't eat well, can't sleep well, and is listless every day. I didn't want to care about him and let him fend for himself. Look at him now, I can't even say a word."

Seeing her faint smile, Igarashi Runa realized that he had found the right direction and said with certainty.

As a good friend, she knows that Chizuru is a person who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Although she seems difficult to get along with on the surface, she is actually very caring.

"Really? Are you listless every day? Can't eat well and can't sleep well?"

When Ninomiya Chizuru heard this, a strange light flashed in her beautiful eyes as she looked at Kurosawa Hikaru, and then at Runa.

Seeing the change of expression on her face, as if she was persuaded, Igarashi Runa felt happy and wanted to continue along this path.

"thousand……"

Seeing this scene, Kurosawa Mitsuru couldn't sit still.

What Chizuru said was totally a trap.

If Miss Runa confirmed this, it would be the same as saying, "I watched him eat every day, watched him sleep every day, and saw him listless every day."

But before Kurosawa Hikaru could say anything, Ninomiya Chizuru reacted quickly and glared at him, signaling him not to speak.

"Sister Qianhe, stop teasing her."

Although he was blocked, Kurosawa Hikaru knew he had to speak up.

If he continued to sit back and do nothing, he would be watching Miss Runa jump into the fire pit, a dead end.

What's worse, if things are allowed to continue to develop, it will not only be Miss Runa who will suffer, but innocent people may also be affected.

"Who is your Chizuru sister?"

Ninomiya Chizuru, who had just dug a big hole and was waiting for Runa to jump in, found out that he was forcibly disrupting the situation and gave him a dissatisfied look.

"Sister Chizuru?"

As they talked, Igarashi Runa was surprised by this title.

Then, she saw Chizuru's sad eyes, and then glanced at Kurosawa Mitsuru's anxious expression. As a shrewd person who has been working in society for many years, she reacted in just a moment.

"Have you reconciled?"

Igarashi Runa was very surprised. Thinking about what she had just said and done, her expression became complicated and ugly.

"That's it."

Kurosawa Hikaru felt a little ashamed when facing her shocked and angry gaze.

What a mistake. He should have made things clear when he walked in.

He had thought that as Chizuru's best friend, Ms. Runa, who had just had dinner together, should know the progress of their relationship, but that was not the case at all.

"We haven't made peace yet."

Chizuru Ninomiya is a bit tsundere.

"We've already kissed each other, but that doesn't count as reconciliation?"

In order to make Miss Runa aware of the situation between them, Kurosawa Hikaru said shamelessly.

"Not counting."

Ninomiya Chizuru didn't expect him to say that. Her body stiffened and she stared at him.

If Igarashi Runa still can't understand the situation after seeing the interaction between the two people, then she has really lived in vain.

Obviously, without her knowing, the stiff relationship between the two people had made a breakthrough.

Even though they haven't reconciled yet and are not as sweet as before, things have eased a lot.

"When did you make peace?"

"The night before last, Friday night."

Igarashi Runa looked at Kurosawa Hikaru with a reproachful look, blaming him for not telling her in advance. Then she thought of her performance just now and looked at Chizuru with great guilt.
