Chapter 93: Young people, still haven't received the beating of society!

I didn't feel it when I ate alone before, but Japanese meals are usually divided into meals.

Fortunately, when buying kitchen utensils, I bought a whole set.

Otherwise, the meals couldn't be separated.

Put the big bowl of dishes in the middle,

And divided a small bowl for everyone, with ready-made pickles bought in the supermarket,

A decent big meal was actually made.

The three ate around the square table.

"Itadakimasu!" X2,

It seems that if you don't say this sentence before eating, you always feel like something is missing...

Sweet and sour pork, fragrant beef with green pepper, plus fresh, fragrant, numb and spicy Mapo Tofu,

Made several young people have a great appetite.

Soon, the iconic "S~ha~s~ha~" blowing sound when eating spicy food sounded.

Sweating on the forehead, Naoki Nagayama took a sip of soda and looked at the two people sticking out their tongues, "Hahaha, aren't Akina-san and Akiho-san very good at eating spicy food?"

"The Mapo Tofu made by Naoki-san is much spicier than what I have eaten before~" Akiho also couldn't help drinking soda, "Isn't Naoki-san also sweating from the spiciness?"

"I'm hot from stir-frying, okay."

"Liar~"

When the two were talking, Akina was bowing her head and eating fiercely. A spoonful of white rice was poured with a piece of Mapo Tofu, and a big mouthful was sent into her mouth. The satisfaction overflowed, and her cheeks were bulging~

Worthy of being a little fat Akina!

After swallowing hard, she had time to say a word,

"It's so delicious! If Naoki-san opens an izakaya, it will definitely be full of customers!"

Then she picked up a piece of beef~

Overall, it is very quiet when eating in Japan.

There is nothing important to say, and generally don't speak.

But occasionally saying one or two sentences is nothing.

The appetites of the three young people were very good, and they soon finished the rice and dishes. The big plate in the middle was not left at all. Akina ate at least half of the Mapo Tofu...

"Too full~" Picking off the last grain of white rice in the bowl, Akina put down the bowl.

"Because the food is too delicious~" Akiho also followed and said.

After the few put down the chopsticks,

"Thank you for the meal~" X2

"Haha, it seems that Akiho-san and Akina-san recognize my cooking skills very much~" Looking at the basically empty tableware, Naoki Nagayama had to clean up.

"Naoki-san, thank you for the hospitality today. Let us do the dishwashing work~"

The two little girls didn't wait for Naoki Nagayama to speak, and cleaned up quickly.

Naoki Nagayama didn't be hypocritical, took out a muskmelon from the refrigerator, and prepared to use it as dessert.

The small kitchen standing 3 people is still a bit crowded. If it were the open kitchen in the Chiyoda house, it should be much more spacious.

After cleaning up the kitchen, the three sat in the living room eating fruit and chatting.

"I didn't expect Naoki-san's cooking skills to be so good." Akina used a toothpick to pick up a piece of muskmelon, "So sweet~"

"Living alone, you always have to be good to yourself."

Akiho asked: "Do young men and women in the city cook by themselves?"

"This, it depends on your own ideas. Some people only eat instant noodles~" Naoki Nagayama felt that someone like Genta Nakai definitely wouldn't do it.

"Then what do they do when they are hungry? Eat bento?"

"Eat bread in the morning, eat bento bought at noon, and eat at the izakaya with colleagues at night~ Most male employees seem to be like this. If it is a female employee, maybe she will make her own bento?"

Naoki Nagayama recalled that for a long time in his past life, many working people were like this too, though they at least had takeout.

Nakamori Akina thought about this scene: "Isn't that very pitiful..."

Akiho said: "Isn't it also quite good? You can buy whatever bento you want to eat."

Having not yet graduated from high school, the two of them only had a vague, naive feeling about the hardships of being a corporate slave.

"Speaking of which, the eldest son and eldest daughter of the Nakamori family seem to have gone to work, right? Don't you have any feelings?"

"Nothing. Akie-nee and Akihiro-niisan are helping in the family's ramen shop, and they eat together~"

"Ah, is that so~ It's the same as my family~" Naoki Nagayama couldn't help thinking that the ramen shop in the Nakamori family seemed to be the same as the izakaya in his family, both inherited by the eldest son.

"Nani?" Little Akina didn't understand for a while.

"My father also opened an izakaya in his hometown in Shizuoka, and his eldest brother is also helping in the shop~"

"Aleh? Did Naoki-san's family open an izakaya?" It seemed that the same experience made Akina a bit curious, "The eldest brother is helping in the shop, and Naoki-san actually ran to Tokyo?"

"Yes, I ran over when my head was impulsive~"

Nakamori Akiho interjected: "Tsuruko-chan said that Naoki-san didn't want to run the izakaya with his eldest brother, plus the reason for chasing stars, so he came to Tokyo~"

"Tsuruko, actually said all these~"

"Tsuruko-chan and I are good friends~" Akiho said proudly.

"Well, there is indeed this part of the reason. After just graduating, I didn't think about what to do."

Naoki Nagayama recalled the memory of this body before,

"Holding thoughts like 'Can I help my eldest brother in the izakaya for the rest of my life?' 'Is it just that far from Ms. Momoe Yamaguchi?', unwillingly, I ran to Tokyo~"

"Eh~ That requires a lot of determination~" Nakamori Akina already knew that Naoki Nagayama was a fan of Momoe Yamaguchi, but didn't know there was a family reason, "If Naoki-san is alone in Tokyo, it must be very hard, right? Won't the family worry?"

"It doesn't matter. But it's only a two-hour drive. When I get to Tokyo, I'll do the same as others, rent a house and work to earn money~" Naoki Nagayama smiled, "The family will of course worry, but there is no way when I grow up. I always have to be independent."

Working people are the same everywhere.

"Isn't Naoki-san

They hadn't yet experienced the harsh beatings of society. Is money really that easy to earn? Do your older sister and older brother help out at the shop because they like to?

In a Japan where social hierarchy is strict and solidified, if an ordinary person wants to find a good job, they must either get into a good university or, like Naoki Nagayama, stumble upon a good opportunity.

"So, Miho-san, what do you plan to do after graduation?" Naoki Nagayama asked. "I already know about Akina-san; she plans to become an idol in the spotlight~"

Little Akina, who had just stuffed another piece of cantaloupe into her mouth, said shyly upon hearing this: "What are you saying? That's still a long way off."

"Hahaha, you're already on the right path~" He teased her, then continued to turn to Miho. "Miho-san?"

"Um, I really haven't thought about it~ Should I learn to dance with my older sister? It seems like being an idol like Akina would be quite interesting too~" Miho, who was only in her first year of high school, really hadn't thought that far ahead~

"Hahaha, that's true, Miho-san is still young~"

"What's with that tone like an old man!" Miho was a bit indignant. "You're not even an adult yourself!"

"Tsuruko actually told you even that..."

"Really? Naoki-san isn't 20 yet?" Akina Nakamori was shocked; it was the first time she knew. "I thought you were the same age as Akihiro-san~"

Naoki Nagayama was also helpless. His mental age was here; even if he wanted to act immature, he couldn't...

"Well~ well~ that's just how it is."

He decisively changed the subject. "By the way, Akina-san, how is the 'STAR! Birth!' competition going? Do you know when the next round is?"

"Not yet. Last time they said the final tournament would be in December, but there will be a preliminary screening at the end of November."

"Two months, that's quite close. Have you made any preparations?"

"No special preparations, just practicing singing and such as usual."
