"They gave me money so I could buy food."

Nogizaka Hatsuka gradually discovered that Yuuki Rido's life might not be very interesting.

After the death of Dr. Kasugano, he left the town of Oukiran and came to this unfamiliar city. The living environment and the learning environment were completely different. It was difficult to adapt to it. Coupled with the sadness of the death of a loved one, this is the most important thing for people to care about. At the time, his adoptive parents had to work overtime often...

Nogizaka Hatsuka decided to take action. After all, she and Yuki Rido are from the same town. They were sick when they were young and were often taken care of by Dr. Kasuga. Now that they have the opportunity, they should do something. The little guy is also quite likable.

"I'll take you to dinner, just right, I know a good shop."

Anyway, there is nothing to do next, and Yuuki Ritu naturally did not reject Nogizaka Hatsuka's kindness.

Nogizaka Hatsuka took Yuuki Lito to a very ordinary store, not a large restaurant or a coffee shop, but a small restaurant with the most neon lights and the most common.

The price of the contents ranges from a few hundred yen to a thousand yen. Compared with other high-end restaurants, it is much cheaper, and the weight and appearance of the set meal in front of several customers who have already ordered in the store can be called It's cheap.

"Xiao Chujia is here? Is it still the same today?"

In the shop, the owner and the proprietress, who are in their forties, are busy. It seems that the boss is the chef who is in charge of cooking in the kitchen deep in the store, while the proprietress is serving as a waiter, cleaning the table and collecting money. When she was good, the proprietress recognized her at a glance, indicating that Nogizaka Hatsuka was a frequent visitor here.

Hearing the words of the proprietress, Hatsuka Nogizaka's face showed a guilty conscience.

"No, no, give me a fried chicken chop set, eh, what do you want?"

Nogizaka Hatsuka motioned Yuki Rido to look at the stylish wooden boards hanging on the wall, where the names and prices of many dishes were written.

Only then did the proprietress notice Yuuki Rido, and nodded clearly.

"It's really not suitable to drink in front of children. After all, your wine is really poor."

"Ahhh! Don't say it!!"

Nogizaka Hatsuka made an embarrassing protest there, and Yuki Rido glanced at the drinks in the store. In addition to common drinks such as oolong tea and juice, there were some different brands of beer. Could it be that Nogizaka Hatuka was drinking beer The type that gets drunk?

So weak.

"I want a chicken cutlet set meal too."

The proprietress nodded when she heard Yuuki Rido's words, and shouted towards the kitchen not far away.

"Two sets of fried chicken cutlets, one of which I remember to add salad, is for children."

"clear."

The proprietress is quite caring, knowing that children like sweets, so I reminded her.

Even if Yuuki Rito is not a child who matches his appearance, he is not afraid to eat sweet things. He sat down with Nogizaka Hatsuka at a small table in the store, and he knew in his heart that the other party would like this unpretentious store. s reason.

"So, how bad is Miss Nogizaka's wine?"

While waiting for the package to be ready, Yuki Rido finally asked the question that Hatsuka Nogizaka didn't want to hear. She felt that her image of a gentle and reliable big sister in Yuki Rido's heart was crumbling little by little.

Chapter 0719 very poor alcohol

"Miss Nogizaka is the type to cry after drinking a can or two of beer."

Nogizaka Hatsuka didn't speak, someone spoke for her.

The proprietress, who was temporarily idle because there were no new customers and no one to check out after the meal, took the initiative to answer Yuuki Lito's question at this moment.

One of the selling points of this kind of small shop is that the owner will appear very friendly. Compared with the money trader, he is more inclined to play the role of a good friend of the customer. He can be the object of his troubles. Homelike atmosphere.

At this moment, the proprietress also paid attention to the volume and tone of her speech. With kindness, it only made Nogizaka Hatsaka blushed. However, she knew that she often caused trouble to the proprietress on weekdays. At this moment, she couldn't say anything protesting, she just prayed. His eyes looked at the proprietress, hoping that she would not say more.

But the lady boss didn't seem to see it.

"I came to study in an unfamiliar city alone, and I had to work part-time to exercise myself during the holidays. Xiao Chujia is also very hard, and there are all kinds of pressures in my heart, so I will express it through drinking almost every time."

The proprietress's voice was not loud, but the shop was relatively quiet, and the other customers heard the proprietress's words, but they did not show a mocking expression, but instead showed a complicated expression with some empathy.

People who can eat in such ordinary shops are not too rich guys. Money is not everything, but when you are poor, you often have more troubles than when you are rich. Everyone understands that drinking alcohol to relieve worries. The behavior was just a little funny at the amount of alcohol that Nogizaka Hatsuka would get drunk with a can of beer.

"It seems that Miss Nogizaka has caused you trouble on weekdays, I'm really sorry."

It was Yuuki Rito who said this. He was obviously a child in the eyes of everyone, but at this moment, he took the same attitude as Nogizaka Hatsuka's elders and apologized to the proprietress.

The most important thing is that the proprietress and other guests don't feel weird.

"It's okay, it's okay, Xiao Chujia is very quiet even if she is drunk. She will wake up after lying down at the dining table for a while, and we will take care of her. We have been thanked by her for taking care of our business many times before. It's us."

Because there were no new customers, the boss, who could take a break after finishing two sets of fried chicken cutlets, came out of the kitchen with two plates and put the plates on the dining table while saying kind words. .

"Please, I rarely entertain young guests your age. How about it?"

The boss pointed to the chicken chop set, which was drizzled with salad and specially cut into small pieces.

"It was delicious."

Yuuki Rito took a sip and did not hesitate to praise her.

"Then please take it slow."

The shop owner who got the affirmation didn't say much, and sat at the counter for a while, leaving the space for Yuuki Ride and Nogizaka Hatsaka.

Nogizaka Hatsuka is now restrained and embarrassed. She feels embarrassed. If she knew, she would not come to this familiar shop. In that case, at least she can maintain her big sister image.

"If Miss Nogizaka has anything unhappy, you can tell me. Although I won't boast that I can help you solve it until I know the specifics, I can at least be a listener."

"It's not right to complain to children and express negative energy, whether it's emotional or rational?"

Nogizaka Hatsuka didn't care about what Yuuki Lito said about "being able to solve her troubles", she seemed very hesitant. To be honest, Nogizaka Hatuka really needed someone who could complain, but it couldn't be a child.

As for parents, there are some things I tell my parents, they will worry, they will find ways to comfort them, they will have unnecessary associations, and they will only add to their annoyance and will not help.

"Actually, I'm mentally mature."

Yuuki Rido knew that it would take some time for him to grow into a high school student in the eyes of others.

Looking at the serious Yuuki Rido, Nogizaka Hatsuka wanted to laugh, but she quickly realized that maybe Yuuki Ritu was really mature.

The grandfather who raised him passed away, came to an unfamiliar city, and was in a situation of lack of love for a long time, the situation may be worse than himself.

Nogizaka Hatsuka didn't refute Yuuki Rito's words, but just took a mouthful of the set meal in silence. After a moment of silence, he spoke.

"If you feel bored or lonely in the future, you can come and play with me at any time. As graduation is approaching, I don't have any classes to take. Although it is not considered free, I can arrange my time freely."

"Miss Nogizaka is worried about graduation, and what is the job after graduation?"

"Um."
