Chapter 32: I treat you like a sister, yet you actually want to be my sister-in-law!
Lunch was eaten at a high-end business restaurant.
They ate traditional Japanese cuisine.
"Is this the famous restaurant in Tokyo? Nii-chan?" Nagayama Tsuruko had a slightly disappointed expression.
"What's wrong? Is it not good?"
It wasn't that it wasn't good, but the dishes at a business restaurant are generally... very business-like.
And even if it was made very well, she had been eating traditional Japanese cuisine for over a decade after all...
"It's delicious, it's just that I don't feel the 'Tokyo' character..."
"What is the 'Tokyo' character?"
"Ano, character or whatever... Little Nai-chan, you say something too~"
Tsuruko clearly couldn't organize her words and could only ask Tsubakiya Nai for help...
"Tokyo's character... that feeling of being very advanced, where all the world's features are here~"
"Ah, I understand~ Next time I'll take you to eat Western food, French, Italian, Spanish, whatever you want~" Nagayama Naoki suddenly understood what the two little ones meant.
After a simple lunch, the group of three arrived at the Akihabara Pedestrian Paradise, and sure enough, another batch of the Bamboo Tribe was performing.
Various groups were competing in splendor; besides singing and dancing, some were even performing acrobatics and magic...
Nagayama Naoki rented a camera and became the two's dedicated photographer.
Then he turned into the snack payer and the scenery guide...
After running around for an afternoon, the two were surprisingly not tired.
After strolling until evening, Nagayama Naoki treated the two to a high-end Western meal, and this time they ate very happily.
As for the evening, the two originally wanted to go to a nightclub, but Nagayama Naoki refused on the grounds that they were both still minors, and brought them back to the apartment.
"Go to sleep properly! Tomorrow I'll take you to stroll through the commercial street~"
"Ah~ Is Nii-chan going to buy me things?" Nagayama Tsuruko suddenly became super excited!
"Then I want cosmetics, new clothes, a new radio..."
"In your dreams." Nagayama Naoki suppressed Tsuruko with a hand chop without hesitation.
"Mother specifically instructed that I cannot spend too much money on you to buy too many things; you can only buy one gift at most!"
Then he also said to Tsubakiya Nai: "Nai-chan can also choose one, as a Tokyo souvenir for you!"
"Ah, I can choose one too!" Tsubakiya Nai looked pleasantly surprised, "I'm really too embarrassed, Naoki Nii-chan, arigato!"
After all, they were neighbors who grew up watching each other, and their parents were also good friends, so giving a gift was quite normal.
When sleeping at night, Tsubakiya Nai and Nagayama Tsuruko whispered in the quilt.
"Tsuruko-chan, Naoki Nii-chan is really great~"
"Where is he great!" Tsuruko thought to herself that he was simply stingy for only buying her one gift.
"He's handsome, rich, young, and talented, and he can even buy me gifts~" Tsubakiya Nai counted Nagayama Naoki's merits.
Hearing that everything Nai-chan said were merits, Tsuruko said poutingly, "Since he's so great, you might as well marry him!"
"That's not impossible~" Tsubakiya Nai actually felt a bit of longing.
Nagayama Tsuruko couldn't believe it; I treat you like a sister, yet you actually want to be my sister-in-law?!
The next morning.
Nagayama Naoki was actually woken up by the two little girls; sure enough, people who want to go out and play cannot sleep.
In the morning, he fulfilled his promise and went to the Shibuya commercial street.
It was still filled with dazzling goods, and the two little girls had presumably already decided, as they went to the clothing section.
Sure enough, a stylish and good-looking piece of clothing is what little girls of this age like the most.
Watching the two tirelessly try on clothes, change clothes, and match clothes, Nagayama Naoki felt the pain of men in later generations accompanying their girlfriends shopping...
And now there were no mobile phones, so he couldn't play a round of Honor of Kings to escape...
Why did Nagayama Naoki follow a minimalist style?
On one hand, it's comfortable to wear, and on the other hand, it's easy to buy clothes without having to put effort into matching them.
After finally waiting for the two to choose their clothes, Nagayama Naoki immediately went to pay, finally wanting to end this session as soon as possible.
Next was continuing to stroll, but this time they wouldn't buy anything~
In Shibuya's commercial area, besides department stores and fashion, there were all kinds of snack shops, cafes, game facilities, etc. Strolling along, he didn't expect that both of them actually wanted to go to a pachinko parlor?
"If it's pachinko, doesn't Shizuoka have them too?"
"How can that be the same? This is Tokyo's pachinko!"
Nagayama Naoki didn't feel it, but looking at their determined appearance, there seemed to be a big difference.
He could only spend 3000 yen to buy pachinko balls...
Nagayama Naoki knew nothing about pachinko. The two little girls played very happily, won a big handful of steel balls, and then went to exchange them for 2 bear doll pendants.
He really couldn't understand; 3000 yen was enough to buy 10 of these pendants.
The bustling commercial street was filled with flowing crowds; the legendary Shibuya crossing, which 3000 people pass through in a minute, had already initially shown its future scene.
People always say Shibuya is the birthplace of young fashion and trend culture; sure enough, one can see street artists singing and trendy performance art from time to time.
There weren't as many groups in strange costumes as in the Pedestrian Paradise, but it seemed more in line with international standards.
Nagayama Naoki didn't like shopping, so Nagayama Tsuruko and Tsubakiya Nai walked ahead hand in hand, while he carried the bag and walked behind.
People who didn't know would think the ones in front were authentic Tokyoites leading the way.
Lunch was solved at the food street: takoyaki, yakitori skewers, wagyu skewers, okonomiyaki, taiyaki, various desserts, and a variety of sushi snacks; these delicious snacks could completely fill every traveler's stomach.
Besides the commercial area, Shibuya is also famous for the Meiji Jingu, which, as a super-large green space in the city center, occupies the entire area between Yoyogi and Harajuku.
Entering the quiet and solemn Meiji Jingu from the bustling commercial street, the two little girls became much quieter. Besides sightseeing and worshiping, they also obtained the special fortune "Omikokoro" at Meiji Jingu.
Nagayama Naoki had basically never heard of the fortune text on it, but it seemed to be persuading people to be good.
Meiji Jingu is very vast; from the entrance, to the approach, to the Great Torii, they then visited the Couple Camphor Trees, the Meiji Jingu Gyoen...
There were a few cherry blossoms in the Meiji Jingu Gyoen, but they were scattered and had no character.
By the time they came out, 2 hours had passed.
After a whole morning, they had walked an estimated 10 kilometers, and the two little girls finally couldn't walk anymore, so Nagayama Naoki called a taxi to go home.
After returning home, Nagayama Naoki let the two go take a bath first.
"After walking for such a long time, rest at home for a while,
then in the afternoon we'll go to Meguro River to see the cherry blossoms!"
"I can wear the newly bought clothes~
I can take good-looking photos!"
The two little girls finally felt a bit of fatigue and obediently went to wash up.
Nagayama Naoki brewed a pot of tea so they could drink it directly after they finished.
It is early spring now, and the light conditions around 2-3 PM are very good, still suitable for viewing cherry blossoms along the Meguro River. It's a pity that there are no landscape lights like in later generations, otherwise the night cherry blossoms would also be a very beautiful scene.
After viewing the cherry blossoms, they can continue to play in the nearby commercial streets, cafes, or bars.
In the evening, Meguro River seems to have carnival activities, which are said to be very lively.
Nagayama Naoki had never seen it and was also very interested~ ===== CHAPTER 33 =====
