Many male compatriots who accompany girls shopping may have this experience. This is not a physical test, but a double physical and mental torture.
Especially when I saw several girls competing with each other for more than ten minutes with a coat. They even discussed many options for matching it, but in the end they didn't buy it.
Nagayama Naoki sat on a stool in the store and covered his forehead, recalling his shopping experience...
"Oh? The latest model?" "I like the color and design." "The size fits." "Wrap it up for me!"
Can't you keep the shopping process simple like this?
The only good thing now is that these girls don’t have to give their own opinions~
Eh? Tsuruko, what are you doing here with two pieces of clothing? Don’t come over!!!
.......
"Ni-chan, look at these two dresses, which one looks better?" Tsuruko asked, holding a blue floral dress and a green floral dress.
In fact, in the eyes of Nagayama Naoki, both of them are actually okay. The main thing is to see how they match. However, at this time, no matter how you say it, it is wrong. For example, now he and Tsuruko said: "The green one is more lively, Tsuruko
You will feel more energetic when you put it on.”
"But the blue one can highlight your mature temperament and is very suitable for going to other people's homes."
"Then buy the blue one!"
"But the green one is also very beautiful. It will definitely be suitable when going out to play."
"Then choose the green one!"
"But the blue one will look great with a white coat."
"..." Nagayama Naoki emo'd, this is what he meant by wanting both.
"Tsuruko, I agreed before that I will only buy you one gift~"
Tsuruko said before she came to Tokyo that she can have gifts, but there is only one. It seems like this little girl actually wants to play tricks on her?
"Onii-chan, what does it matter if you buy one more thing~ Anyway, Onii-chan has so much money~"
When Tsuruko saw that she couldn't get away with it, she started acting coquettishly, which made Akina Nakamori and Akio Nakamori next to her couldn't help but laugh.
However, Naoki Nagayama doesn't tolerate her: "Huh~ That's what I earned with my hard work~ What does it have to do with you~"
"Eh? Isn't it natural for a brother to make money and spend it with his sister?!" Tsuruko leaned his head closer and his eyes widened, as if Naoki Nagayama said something treacherous.
"What are you daydreaming about? It's only natural to give flowers to your wife!" Nagayama Naoki pushed Tsuruko's head away, "As a family member, it is of course our duty to go to school, get married, buy a house and other serious matters~"
"But for the things of luxury and enjoyment, you have to work hard and earn money to buy them for me!!!"
"Hey~ cheapskate~" Tsuruko snorted, turned around to whisper to the Nakamori sisters, and winked at Nagayama Naoki.
You can tell at a glance what bad things are being planned~
In the end, the three people still had nothing to choose...then what did all the picking and choosing before mean...
When these three people go shopping, they are not limited to stores selling clothes, shoes, bags, and cosmetics. They also include snacks, snacks, toys, etc. They go shopping purely for the sake of shopping. The focus is on the "shopping" itself.
Instead of buying something.
"Naoki-san, this is for you~" Xiao Mingna smiled and handed over a portion of octopus balls, 8 pieces each. The three girls bought some and ate some, and then gave the rest to Naoki Nagayama,
Nagayama Naoki was a little helpless: "Akina-chan, I can't take it down..."
At present, Nagayama Naoki already has fish yakisoba, yakisoba skewers, and ice cream on hand. If there are more, it might even be enough for a picnic.
"Hahaha, then I will help Naoki take a sauna for a while~"
Then after a while, he poked another meatball and ate it...
So there’s a reason why I can’t get rid of the baby fat on my face~
...
Stop and go, then enter a jewelry store again,
The store manager inside was stunned for a moment and looked at it several times before confirming: "Naoki-san? Why are you here today?"
Naoki Nagayama looked back and saw that he had arrived at his shop in Shibuya.
"Ah, I came shopping with my friends, nothing else~" Nagayama Naoki explained to the store manager to prevent him from thinking that the rent was going to be increased or something.
"So that's it, welcome to our guests! Please let me introduce our latest products to you~"
How can he change his identity so smoothly? He is indeed a store manager who can open a store in Shibuya.
The exquisite jewelry is indeed very beautiful, but these three poor girls basically have no purchasing power, and Tsuruko still wants to buy clothes, so they just looked around and left.
"Ni-chan, do you know the owner of the jewelry store very well?" Tsuruko asked, "Did you buy the brooch before here?"
"Yeah~"
Nagayama Naoki thought for a while, but still didn't say that he was the landlord here. He raised Tsuruko's expectations too much today, fearing that she wouldn't be able to accept it.
...
"Dingling bell~Dingling bell~"
In Nakano's apartment, the phone suddenly rang, but no one answered it for a long time. After a beep, it switched to recording mode.
"Moses Moses, this is Mitsuki Nishimura from the office. If Akina-chan is here, please pick up the phone~"
After a while, "Ah, it looks like he's not here~"
"Then when Akina comes back, please listen to the message~"
"Akina-chan, the weather seems to be fine tomorrow. We can go shoot the exterior of the magazine cover. However, the location is on the Sunshine Coast of Oarai Town, Ibaraki Prefecture. The location is relatively far away and we have to catch the good light in the morning, so we may have to get up tomorrow.
It's relatively early, you'll be leaving around 5 o'clock, and your agent will pick you up then."
"The matter has been discussed. If you have any questions, you can call us at night~"
"For the above, please Akina-chan have a good rest~"
The small apartment returned to silence, with only the phone recording reminder light flashing, which was inexplicably scary.
...
At this time, at Honma Architectural Office, Naoya Sakata was discussing two design drawings with Takashi Honma.
"Teacher Honma, Naoki-san's advice made me aware of the flaws in the previous design. Space is three-dimensional. Through hollowing out, sinking, staggered levels, and overhead, the space can be made more varied and the space can be utilized more effectively.
The efficiency is even more perfect." Naoya Sakata was a little excited, "This is my redesigned sketch, and the utilization rate of the disco is even greater!"
Takashi Honma is very happy. This apprentice has his own design style, which is a sign of becoming an excellent architect.
"Sakata, the design is very good." Takashi Honma praised, "Just treat this project as your first landmark project and do your best!"
"Hi!" Naoya Sakata nodded heavily. After calming down, he asked, "Teacher, is there any progress in the design of Naoki Sangyingu's teahouse?"
"The direction of the preliminary sketch has not been decided yet." Takashi Honma also scratched his head a little, "We need to find peace in the steel forest. We need to blend in with the surrounding high-rise buildings, but also highlight our own differences...
...Such a request is really embarrassing.”
"But if it is designed, it will be the unique feature of Silver Valley!"
Buildings in central areas such as Silver Valley, Shibuya, and Roppongi have always been exclusive to internationally renowned architects. This time, thanks to Naoki Nagayama, he had the opportunity to "draw" in the center of Tokyo.
Takashi Honma also has a bit of ambition. He wants to create an "artwork" in the center of Tokyo!
...
A few people have been shopping in Shibuya's commercial street for almost three hours, but the three girls are still in high spirits.
The sky gradually darkened, and the neon lights in Shibuya began to light up. Naoki Nagayama looked at the sky,
"Mina-san, haven't you gone shopping yet? Do you want to go have a meal first? Then go to see the cherry blossoms?"
"Hi~" x3
I have been walking for almost an afternoon, and although I have been replenishing snacks, I am now hungry.
While several people were walking to the parking lot, Tsuruko actually went to the clothing store that he had seen before and bought the green floral dress.
Nagayama Naoki was a little puzzled after paying the money: "Tsuruko, if you like it, why didn't you just buy it at that time?"
And Tsuruko said plausibly: "It's only with the thought that I might have better clothes in the future that I can continue shopping with full expectations!"
Okay~
We had already been to the Meguro River the year before last, but Tsuruko didn’t want to go this year. After discussing with the Nakamori sisters, we decided to go to Sumida Park.
Fortunately, there are many restaurants on both sides of the Sumida River.
Last fall, Naoki Nagayama visited the Sumida River and took a walk around Sumida Park. At that time, the cherry blossoms had all faded, so I could only see green trees and water, but I was deeply impressed by the house-shaped boats on the Sumida River.
"Akina-chan, have you ever made a yakatabune?"
Nagayama Naoki asked Akina, the co-pilot, while the other two people were still talking about school in the back seat, leaving Akina and Naoki, two graduates, a bit speechless.
"Is it that kind of boat that looks like a house? I've never been on one..." Zhongsen's family has never been very wealthy, so he probably has never tried it.
"Has Tsuruko ever sat there?"
Nagayama Tsuruko thought for a while: "I have only ever been on a boat on the sea, a fishing boat that looks like a house." Naturally, a child who grew up by the sea has been on a fishing boat.
"Then let's go to Yakatabune today. We can see the cherry blossoms and other scenery along the coast. The food on the boat is also good."
Nagayama Naoki made a suggestion, and of course the others had no objections. After all, it was the boss who paid.
Following my memory, I found the shipping company I had been to before, and directly selected a small houseboat.
It was a coincidence that they came when a boat was about to leave soon, so the group boarded the boat without waiting too long.
There are still four small compartments separated by bamboo mats on the boat. Tsuruko and Naoki are sitting on one side, and the Nakamori sisters are on the other side.
The cool night breeze blew over the water. Although it was already April, the temperature at night was still a bit cold, especially on the Sumida River.
The neon lights of the shops on both sides of the strait flashed with colorful colors, shattering on the river surface near the boat and turning into sparkling lights. The landscape lights of Sumida Park were also turned on. The pink cherry blossoms looked particularly psychedelic under the lights.
I saw many people gathering under the cherry blossom trees to enjoy this rare beauty.
However, the four people on the boat had no such thoughts for the time being. The smell of sukiyaki aroused their appetites, and they found that after walking down the afternoon, they were already hungry and tired, and everyone had a big appetite.
However, Naoki Nagayama ate a lot of snacks after all. After filling his stomach for a while, he started to taste them slowly and had time to enjoy the scenery.
"The Sumida River is really becoming more and more lively. Last autumn, there didn't seem to be so many people."
"Is it too cold?" Hezi took a sip of orange juice and looked at both sides of the river.
"No, it was still late summer at that time, and there was a fireworks display on the Sumida River." Naoki Nagayama said and asked, "Did you all go to the fireworks display last year?"
"No~" x2, "Seen it" x1
"Eh? Why?" For little girls in Japan, isn't it very attractive to watch fireworks displays in summer?
"I'm taking tutoring classes~" This is Tsuruko,
"I'm sick~" This is Akina,
"Although it's not Tokyo's Fireworks Festival, it's just a small celebration in Kiyose Town, but I've seen it." Among the three, only Akiho went to see the Fireworks Festival.
"It seems that Akina is the most pitiful..." It seems that she has been in poor health since she was a child and is particularly prone to getting sick during the change of seasons. "Here, eat this piece of tempura to comfort yourself~"
After saying that, he placed the tempura on Akina's plate in an exaggerated manner.
"Hahaha, there is no one like Naoki-san!!" Akina was amused by Nagayama Naoki's actions, but she still happily ate the tempura~
"Haha, speaking of it, I didn't see the biggest fireworks last year. What I saw on the Sumida River was a farewell to summer fireworks show, and it was much smaller."
Nagayama Naoki didn't know what he was doing at that time, he actually forgot about the fireworks time. Oh, it seemed like he was filming?
He said to several girls: "How about in July this year, let's watch the largest fireworks display in Tokyo together?"
As soon as these words came out, several people were a little excited. Of course Tsuruko and Akiho agreed immediately, but Akina was a little unsure: "I think I really want to come, but I don't know if I have time..."
"
At that time, it was just over 2 months after debuting, which should be the busiest time.
"Ha, stay with me, let's make an appointment in advance. There are a lot of fireworks in Tokyo."
"Hi~"
...
When the lanterns were first lit, music was played everywhere, and the houseboats took in the night view of both sides of the Sumida River.
It took about two hours to go back and forth, and before I knew it, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.
It is not good for the two underage girls to go back too late. Besides, after Akina returns, she may have to confirm tomorrow's itinerary with her agent. Akiho also needs to report to her family that she is safe. Nagayama Naoki directly drove the two back to Nakano.
Apartment.
Then he and Tsuruko also returned to Yamasakura-in,
The landscape lights in the courtyard had been installed some time ago, so after dark, the cherry blossom trees in the courtyard showed a vague outline under the low-power lights, and the entire Yamazakura Garden looked like a courtyard in a fairy tale.
"Ni-chan... why did you make your home look like a haunted house?" Tsuruko was shocked when he saw it for the first time, and then he actually said, "Won't you get scared in the middle of the night?"
"What are you talking about? It's a haunted house!" Nagayama Naoki knocked Tsuruko on the head angrily, "This kind of landscape lamp is very impressive! It has a fantasy atmosphere."
"It's obviously very strange..." Tsuruko muttered as he got out of the car, and then shouted happily, "Yutaro, we are back!"
The little guy hid under the table in the restaurant and poked his head out.
