Watanabe Yu picked up the chopsticks, picked up the piece of beef he had put in the red pot, and put it into Amamiya Ayana's dipping sauce bowl, "Try it."

Before dinner, he had already prepared a large pot of chrysanthemum tea.

Even if she complains it’s spicy, there are ways to deal with it.

"……it is good."

Looking at the red beef in the dipping sauce bowl, Amemiya Ayana took a deep breath, picked up the chopsticks, picked up the beef, dipped it in the sauce several times, and put it into her mouth.

Under the spicy flavor of the hot pot, the tender beef seemed to be given life and hit her stomach immediately.

The vinegar added to the dipping bowl had the desired effect, alleviating most of the spicy taste like a ball of fire.

From an unacceptable level of spiciness, it dropped to a level she could just accept.

If the spiciness of shredded pork with green pepper is 3, then the spiciness of what she just put into her mouth is 5.

Just the limit she could accept.

"How about it?"

After taking a look at Amamiya Ayana's red little face, Watanabe Yuu stopped putting the meat into the pot one piece at a time. He directly picked up the plate of beef and put most of it into the pot with one chopstick.

This is how you enjoy eating hotpot.

“It’s a bit… spicy!”

Ayana Amamiya raised her hand, stuck out her pink tongue, and fanned the air hard.

It tastes good, but it's a bit painful and joyful.

"Here."

After handing over a cup of room temperature chrysanthemum tea, Watanabe Yu shook his head.

Where is this?

The hotpot base he chose was not even two-thirds as spicy as the hotpot restaurant he often visited before he traveled through time.

The hotpot tonight had some flavor, but it wasn't very strong.

"Thank you!"

Without any hesitation, Amemiya Ayana took the water handed to her by Watanabe Yu and took a big gulp down her throat.

The next moment, a feeling of 'being saved' appeared on her face.

"Still can't accept it?"

Watanabe Yu looked at the bubbling hot pot and asked with a chuckle.

“It takes adaptation.”

Amemiya Ayana let out a long sigh, put down her chopsticks, and placed her hands on the square table.

"I'm a little hesitant about moving."

Watanabe Yuu spoke up and continued the conversation.

All the money he has now, adding up, not counting the money he spent on the induction cooker and guitar, as well as the overspending in recent days, is still around seven million.

If this money was used to rent an apartment, it would be more than enough, but he was a little reluctant.

"Why are you hesitating?"

After recovering, Ayana Amamiya picked up the beef from the clear soup pot, mixed it twice in the dipping sauce bowl, and put it into her mouth.

This smell is much more soothing than the spicy smell just now, and she can accept it more.

But, how to put it.

It just doesn’t taste that good.

"I hesitated whether to save for a while longer." Watanabe Yu paused, picked up a piece of cooked beef with chopsticks, and put it into his dipping bowl, "I will do it in one go and buy a house directly."

This goal is not very long-term, it will not take two or three years.

If everything goes well, it will take at least half a year.

If it's fast, maybe just one or two months?

Before, he thought that a single-family house costing more than 70 million yen seemed a bit far-fetched.

As a result, in the blink of an eye, he had collected one tenth of the exchange coupons.

This is even before releasing any songs.

Once you start releasing songs, you will save money faster.

"If someone said something like this to me, my first reaction would be that he is unrealistic."

Amemiya Ayana took another sip of chrysanthemum tea.

This tea is surprisingly good at relieving spiciness.

"But if it's you, I think it's quite possible."

The Saint Lady blinked.

——The quality of "Norwegian Wood" is there, it is only a matter of time before it becomes a hit.

"So can you keep an eye on it for me?"

Watanabe Yuu took the opportunity to make a request.

"What should I pay attention to?"

Amemiya Ayana was stunned for a moment, not quite getting what Watanabe Yu meant.

“The right house.”

With Amamiya Ayana's channels, the scope of her attention must be wider than he realizes.

Maybe he can take advantage of the opportunity to pick up a big bargain or something.

"no problem."

The Saint Miss readily agreed.

Buzz. Buzz.

Suddenly, Watanabe Yu's cell phone, which was charging beside him, vibrated twice.

Watanabe Yu frowned, looked at Amamiya Ayana, turned around and picked up his cell phone.

The screen lit up and two LINE messages came into his sight.

1/2

Chapter 36 Draft

To Watanabe Yu's surprise, the sender of these two messages was neither Hayakawa Yuki nor Kiriyama Kazuma.

It was Naoko Hayakawa and his editor Akiie Kuriyama.

After thinking for a moment, Watanabe Yu first clicked on the message from Hayakawa Naoko.

In the past, they didn't talk much, and even if they did, most of the topics were about Yuki Hayakawa.

Aunt Hayakawa used him to indirectly monitor Yuki Hayakawa's situation at school.

In a sense, he was forced to bear the identity of a "double agent".

But what caught his eyes now was not the short sentences of the past, but a long string of words.

After reading it carefully, he smiled helplessly.

The good news is, it’s not a short essay.

The bad news is that Naoko Hayakawa has something urgent to do this weekend and cannot keep the appointment.

However, her words were sincere and she apologized sincerely again and again.

Watanabe You considered his words carefully and typed out a line of text in reply.

[You don't need to apologize. There are indeed some unexpected emergencies in life. Please deal with your matters first. The same applies to other dates.]

After replying to Hayakawa Naoko's message, Watanabe Yu clicked on another message from Kuriyama Akiie.

To his surprise, the editor did not bring small talk this time, but serious work.

The release date of "Norwegian Wood" has been officially confirmed!

[The release date is set for Tuesday, May 8th. The bookstore has already arranged the promotion.]

[OK, got it]

Putting down his phone, Watanabe You sat back on the futon.

"what happened?"

Amamiya Ayana asked curiously.

She only saw Watanabe Yu unlock his phone and reply to the message.

"Good news and bad news are coming in droves."

Watanabe Yu shrugged and answered truthfully.

This is nothing to keep secret.

"What's the bad news?"

Amemiya Ayana picked up a piece of beef from the red pot with chopsticks and put it into the clear soup pot. After rinsing it twice, she put it into her own dipping sauce bowl.

This is her last bit of stubbornness.

"The weekend was skipped."

Watanabe Yuu noticed Amamiya Ayana's little move and reminded her, "There is a bowl in the kitchen. You can consider getting some water to rinse it and then dip it in the dipping sauce."

This trick can be said to be tried and tested.

Get the greatest satisfaction with the least loss of taste.

The only flaw is probably that it has been rinsed, so the taste, no matter how you put it, is still a little worse than the original version.

"Forget about that." Amamiya Ayana shook her head. "What's the good news?"

“Norwegian Wood has been released on Tuesday, May 8th.”

"おめでとう(Congratulations)~"

Amemiya Ayana nodded and put the meat into her mouth.

She had checked out Akiba Bookstore, where Mr. Troll had contributed his work.

Overall, it is pretty good. Compared with those old publishing houses, although it is a bit "younger", it has always been good at publicity and promotion.

When it is released, she will personally support it by buying a hundred copies.

*

After dinner, Amemiya Ayana took over the task of washing the dishes as usual.

Compared to last time, she was much more familiar with it.

By the time both parties had cleared away their dishes, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

"Show me~"

Amemiya Ayana enthusiastically handed the guitar to Watanabe Yu, then sat on the nearest futon and looked at him expectantly.

He had said before that the songs he knew were all ones she had never heard of.

Yes, her daily life is very boring. She is either studying or on her way to study.

But she has listened to quite a few songs.

She has listened to all the popular pop songs of today and the past.

"What do you want to hear?"

Holding the guitar, Watanabe Yu adjusted his sitting position slightly to a more comfortable one.
