Chapter 287 Birthday (6)
As soon as he said he would leave, Toru Watanabe turned around and got on the Chuo Line.
Arriving at Tokyo Station, I booked a ticket for the next Shinkansen train to Atami.
The train leaves at 10:10, so I still have some time. I originally wanted to sit down and read a book, but it takes an hour to get to Atami, and if I read, I would have nothing to kill time, so I thought about it and decided to wander around the station during this time.
"Brother, do you want to play together?"
"Handsome guy, do you want to go on a trip to Kamakura? It's full of girls."
"Hello, I'm the mama-san of the Ginza host club. Do you have any plans to work part-time?"
When passing by the supermarket, Toru Watanabe bought a mask.
Even so, women walking towards him will still subconsciously cast their eyes on him, but there are fewer people trying to strike up a conversation with him - many people look good wearing masks, but the probability of becoming ugly when taking them off is also high.
Wearing a mask and with his hands in the pockets of his red and black baseball uniform - Kujo Miki's preference, he came to the station newsstand.
The first thing I saw was a pornographic book with a sign saying "On sale today". The cover showed various girls wearing different kinds of lingerie, and all of them had large breasts.
Toru Watanabe bought Weekly Bunshun and sat on a bench waiting for the bus.
The headline was about a super popular male voice actor and a popular female voice actor singer hugging each other on the street late at night.
The composition of the photo is quite beautiful, with roses in May, delicate street lights, dim lights, and two people hugging each other under the lights.
Are you really not taking a photo?
Watanabe Toru took a look twice. The male voice actor had his back to the camera and his appearance could not be seen clearly, but the female voice actor looked very familiar.
Heartbroken, that's it, oh well.
Turning the page, he saw a report about coaxing his girlfriend. He immediately left the female voice actor on the street on that May night.
"When a girl says 'You're so cute,' answer 'Yeah, but my girlfriend is cuter.'"
Toru Watanabe kept this sentence in mind and was about to continue reading when the station broadcast notified passengers to board the train.
After getting in the car and sitting by the window, he took out a book and started reading.
While waiting for the waiter in the carriage to push a cart over, he bought a cup of coffee.
I took off my mask temporarily to drink coffee, and the two women wearing masks opposite me looked at me at once, but did not approach me to talk.
While drinking coffee, Toru Watanabe looked out the window.
I don’t know where I am. There is the sea on the left and Mount Fuji on the right.
The train sped towards Izu. It was early June, before the rainy season arrived. The weather was sunny and warm, and the sea was sparkling under the sun.
What will Koizumi Aona's expression be like then?
Should I look for her aimlessly in this small town of Rehai, or should I quietly inform her in advance?
Warm coffee, the weight of books on his knees, the sea, Mount Fuji, and a speeding train, Toru Watanabe enjoys the comfort of life.
After drinking one-third of the coffee, he withdrew his thoughts and placed the paper cup by the window.
Before lowering his head to read, he looked up at the two female passengers opposite him who had been communicating with each other through eye contact since just now.
He glanced at it, then lowered his head to read…wait.
"Excuse me, can I take a photo with you?" he said.
The two female passengers looked at each other and nodded to Watanabe Toru: "Okay."
Toru Watanabe took out his cell phone and took a photo with them with the car window, coffee cup and Izu Sea as the background.
"Thank you so much!"
"You are welcome!"
The two seemed to be about to say something, but Watanabe Toru had already lowered his head and started playing with his cell phone.
[Uncle Guojing Fan Group] - the original gaming group, the group name has been changed countless times.
"Group photo.jpg" (Toru Watanabe)
"?" (Ichiki Aoi)
"!!!" (Kunii Osamu)
"What is this?!" (Kunii Osamu)
"What is this?!" (Toru Watanabe)
"?" (Ichiki Aoi)
"Takahashi Rie and Ueda Reina!!!" (Kunii Osamu)
"Where are you? Wait for me, I'll be there right now!" (Kunii Osamu)
"You don't train? What about Koshien?" (Toru Watanabe)
"Where are you? Tell me!" (Kunii Osamu)
"The Shinkansen to Izu" (Toru Watanabe)
"Damn it! I recently heard the two of them on the radio, saying they were going to make a CD of the location in Izu! I didn't expect you to meet them, sit together, and even take a photo together! Ah!!" (Kunii Osamu)
"Who are Takahashi Rie and Ueda Reina?" (Ichiki Aoi)
"Takahashi Rie is Megumin from KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World, Emilia from Re:Zero -Starting Life in Another World-, and Takagi from Teasing Master Takagi-san!" (Kunii Osamu)
"Reina Ueda is Akane Shinjo from "SSSS.GRIDMAN" and Miyako Hoshino from "An Angel Descended on Me!"" (Kunii Osamu)
"Hmm - Watanabe-kun, who are these? Actors?" (Ichiki Aoi)
Voice Actor (Toru Watanabe)
"Oh, I understand. (Actually, no)" (Ichiki Aoi)
"What did I miss?!" (Keisuke Saito)
"Watanabe, please ask them if they are willing to voice my world's most beautiful girl game!" (Keisuke Saito)
"I remember there were a lot of obscene lines in Watanabe's light novels?! Hurry up and seize the opportunity! Use your beauty trick!" (Kunii Osamu)
"Huh? Watanabe-kun wrote a light novel? I want to read it! I will recommend it to my classmates, the wind band, and my family!" (Ichiki Aoi)
"My phone is out of battery. Goodbye." (Toru Watanabe)
I picked up the paper cup by the window and took a sip of coffee.
The sea suddenly disappeared, and the train entered a dark tunnel. After passing through the tunnel, the blue sea appeared again, and this happened several times.
When they arrived at Izu Station, Emilia and Akane Shinjo waved to Toru Watanabe and disappeared in the crowd.
After a while, the train disappeared, the platform became empty again, and pigeons landed on the brown rails.
The sun was shining brightly, and the shadow of the awning divided the platform into two halves, and the two rows of chairs facing each other also divided the platform into two halves.
Toru Watanabe sat on a bench where the sun could shine, with the book he had finished reading and the mask beside him.
Leaning against the back of the chair, with his hands in the pockets of his baseball jacket, his legs stretched out and his ankles folded together, he waited for the train to Atami.
…
Atami is a small town built on a hill, with many ups and downs.
After sending the photos of her feet soaking to Toru Watanabe at the station, Koizumi Aona soaked her feet leisurely for a while, put on her socks, and left the station with Akiko and Miyuki.
Outside the station is the hot spring street, with all kinds of snacks, goods, and hot spring hotels.
One interesting thing was that white steam kept coming out of the pot in the dim sum shop, but when they arrived at the next place where white steam was coming out, the three of them saw that it was just a hot spring on the side of the road that no one cared about.
"Do you think people here use the steam from hot springs to steam snacks?" Akiko asked curiously.
"Can the hot springs be drunk?" Koizumi Aona looked at the school doctor Miyazaki Miyuki.
"I'm not a geologist, how would I know?" Miyazaki Miyuki said, "But hot springs can be used for bathing, probably just like toothpaste for brushing teeth. It's best not to eat it, but it's okay to eat a small amount."
"Let's ask Watanabe." Koizumi Aona took out his cell phone.
"Why not ask Google? Someone just wants to take the opportunity to contact his lover." Akiko snorted and teased.
"No!" Koizumi Aona blushed and put away her phone.
"Okay, let's go to the hotel to put our luggage, and then have fun with nothing in our hands!" Miyazaki Miyuki quickened her pace.
Akiko and Koizumi Aona hurriedly followed.
Accustomed to the bustling streets of Tokyo, the three of them wandered through the nameless alleys of the city, which was a different kind of fun.
At noon, when they were tired from shopping, the three of them had lunch at a restaurant with a view of the sea.
After ordering a variety of fish sashimi platters, Akira covered half of her face with the menu and whispered to the two:
"A little extravagance?"
"Huh? Is there something delicious?" Miyuki Miyazaki sat in the seat closest to the window and secretly put her breasts on the table - she was really tired.
"Braised golden eye snapper." Akiko's expression was serious. "A whole one."
"What's the price?" Koizumi Aona asked in a low voice while pouring tea for the three people.
"Ten thousand yen."
"Hmm..." Koizumi Aonai placed the teacups in front of the three people one by one, "I'm a little reluctant."
"Just try it once in a while." Akiko said coquettishly, "It's not like every time you travel or every meal you eat is so expensive."
"I hope so, don't say next time , 'This is only the second time, I don't need a few tens of thousands of dollars to buy an apartment.'" Miyazaki Miyuki picked up the teacup.
"You agreed?" Akiko confirmed happily, "What about Aona?"
"Then order it." Koizumi Aona said with a smile.
"One more braised golden eye snapper, that's all, thank you." Akiko said to the waiter.
"Okay, wait a moment."
After the waiter left, Akiko crossed her legs on the tatami, sipping tea and saying, "Aonai, didn't Watanabe give you any money?"
"Why should he give me money?" Koizumi Aona asked curiously.
"Last night, Asuma Mai came to dinner. Didn't she say it herself? Watanabe bought her an apartment and gave her 500 million yen. Why wouldn't he give it to you?"
"Asuki Mai has severed ties with her family and lives alone. Watanabe gives her money to make her feel at ease. I have a job, parents and you, so I don't need this."
"Are you really not feeling unbalanced at all?" asked Miyuki Miyazaki.
"Of course there is a little bit, but it's not a must." Koizumi Aona said with a smile, "Now I still want to rely on myself. When I have children in the future, I will definitely ask him to pay for it."
"Wow, baby," Akiko giggled, "is it time to start buying baby clothes, strollers, and toys?"
"It's still early!" Koizumi Aona blushed slightly, and then couldn't help but say, "Let's buy it together when the time comes."
Together with Toru Watanabe and two close friends, the four of us went shopping for clothes for the children. It was such a happy thing for everyone to pick and choose.
I want such a future to come soon, but I also want it to come later. Just thinking about it makes me happy every day.
"Whether you want to have children is your own business, but Qingnai, since you have decided to have one, it's best to do it before the age of 30," said Miyuki Miyazaki.
"Why? Is there any medical explanation?" asked Koizumi Aona.
"The best childbearing age for women is 23 to 30 years old, and for men it is 30 to 35 years old," explained Miyuki Miyazaki.
"Aona's birthday is twenty-six, and there are still four years left. Watanabe is seventeen this year, and in four years... he will only be twenty-one years old." Akiko said.
"When he turns 30, Qingnai will be 39." Miyazaki Miyuki said, "This is just the best childbearing period. It's okay even if you're not at this age. It's just that Qingnai is determined to have a baby, so I suggest it before 30."
"Yes." Koizumi Aona nodded seriously, "I will discuss it with Watanabe."
"Have you two already done this?" Akiko asked curiously.
"No! We have to wait until he graduates no matter what!" Koizumi Aona said hurriedly.
"Miki Kujo and Mai Asuka, both of them have done it with him, so be careful not to be ignored." Akiko said with a smile.
"Watanabe is not that kind of person!"
"He is also a man." Miyazaki Miyuki took a sip of tea and sighed contentedly: "As a man, there is no one who doesn't want a woman's body."
Before Koizumi Aona could say something, the waiter came over with a tray.
The three of them turned their attention back to the dishes.
The braised alfonsino, priced at 10,000 yen, was served in a large white porcelain bowl. Half of the fish was soaked in black soup and sprinkled with shredded ginger.
"Let me have the first bite!" Akiko held the bowl in his left hand, chopsticks in his right hand, licked his lips, and said impatiently.
Aona Koizumi and Miyuki Miyazaki laughed and watched her exaggerated tasting posture.
"Mmm! Mmm! Delicious! You guys eat too!"
The three of them ate happily, chatting about the children's names, their looks, where to go after the meal, and other random topics.
"Buzz~" The phone next to me vibrated and the screen lit up.
Koizumi Aona tilted her head slightly and took a look. It was a message from Watanabe Toru.
She quickly put down her chopsticks, wiped her hands with a wet wipe, and unlocked the screen.
It was a photo, with sunny weather, clean streets, and a Shiba Inu showing its unique smile to the screen.
"cute!"
After replying, she sent the photo of the golden eye sea bream.
"10,000 yen alfonsino, delicious!"
Toru Watanabe sent another photo. This time he was in person, holding a bitten egg in his hand.
"The 100 yen hot spring egg was actually quite delicious, but the 10,000 yen alfonsino didn't taste good anymore."
Koizumi Aona smiled and typed quickly.
"Why are you laughing so foolishly?" Huangzi looked over.
"Nothing." Koizumi Aona put away her smile and pretended nothing had happened.
"News about the boy." Miyazaki Miyuki said casually.
"I see." Akiko's tone was ups and downs.
Koizumi Aona tried hard to keep a straight face and not say anything, but after a few seconds, she couldn't help laughing when she thought about the conversation she had just had with Watanabe Toru.
Once I started laughing, I couldn't stop. In the end, I put down my chopsticks and buried my face in my arms.
Akiko and Miyuki Miyazaki didn't understand why, but they were inexplicably infected and started laughing.
"What's so funny?" asked Miyuki Miyazaki.
"No, nothing." Koizumi Aona tried hard to suppress her smile.
" Then what are you laughing at?" Huangzi scolded with a smile.
"Stop laughing, stop laughing." Koizumi Aona took a deep breath and raised her head. When she saw that both of them were laughing, she couldn't help laughing again.
She smiled, and the other two laughed too.
"Stop laughing!"
"Don't laugh first, I won't laugh!"
“Eat well!”
“Hahahaha!” The three young women laughed so hard that they buried their faces in their arms and laughed so hard that they fell backwards.
The customers in the store either looked at them strangely or laughed along with them.
"I'm not laughing anymore. I'm not laughing anymore." Akiko covered her abdomen, "My stomach hurts."
The three of them took a deep breath and finally got rid of the laughter infection.
Koizumi Aona calmed herself down and looked at her phone again.
"The teacher is smiling so happily."
"Huh?!" Koizumi Aona screamed.
"What happened this time?" asked Akiko.
"Nothing." Koizumi Aona responded while typing quickly on her phone.
"How do you know?"
"I saw it. Three people were surrounding the alfonsino and laughing for a long time."
Koizumi Aona quickly looked around the store and looked out the window, but did not find Watanabe Toru.
"What's your guess?"
"What I saw"
"You came to Atami?"
"Teacher, guess what"
"Aona, eat quickly, we have to go to Yuzen Shrine later." Akiko urged.
"Oh, okay."
Until the end of the meal, Koizumi Aona was still wondering whether Watanabe Toru was just guessing or really came to Atami.
Coming out of the seaside restaurant, they left the coast and walked towards the city.
A small uphill road. After walking a little, she looked back and saw only the sea behind her. After walking a little more, she looked back again and saw only the sea.
It was just a guess after all. Koizumi Aona looked a little disappointed.
"Aona! Aona!" Akiko shook her arm.
"What's wrong?" She came back to her senses.
"Look ahead!"
"Are there any tourist attractions here?" Koizumi Aona looked up the slope.
The sun was shining, the sky was blue, and at the corner of the uphill slope, a person was slowly walking downhill and slowly appeared in front of the three people.
He was wearing a thin, red and black baseball jacket that had a summer feel, with a short-sleeved shirt underneath, and he had nothing in his hands.
He stood on the slope, his hands in the pockets of his baseball uniform, and said with a smile:
"What a coincidence."
The young man in the sunshine, with his handsome and delicate face, clear and pleasant voice, intimate and playful eyes, and brilliant and charming smile, made the three female teachers hold their breath.
Koizumi Aona's heart was even more broken.
