Chapter 156 Girlfriend? Part 3(1/2)
Chapter 156 Girlfriend? (3 updates)
Ginza is the most important commercial district in Tokyo's Chuo District. It is known as the most expensive place in Asia and symbolizes the prosperity of neon.
Famous brands from all over the world are gathered here, and there are many large shopping malls.
Even if you are a well-known celebrity, not many people will care about you here.
Because people who dare to come to Ginza to spend money are either rich or expensive, and maybe a person with an unattractive appearance is an executive of a listed company.
Perhaps it was not the weekend and Ginza did not prohibit vehicles, but Igarashi Runa still parked her car outside Ginza.
The days are longer in summer, and before it gets completely dark, the lights of Ginza are already lighting up the sky.
“No matter how many times I come to Ginza, it always feels very lively.”
Igarashi Runa was walking on the street, heading towards the 2-chome Itoya.
"really."
Kurosawa Hikaru looked at the bustling street scene and agreed with this.
He had been to Ginza before, but at that time it was because he had just been admitted to Tokyo University, and he just came to take a look and experience the legendary Ginza.
At that time, he didn't have much money in his pocket, only less than 100,000 yen, which he saved while studying, plus the money given by his parents.
Later, in order to make life less difficult in Tokyo, he started working as a tutor to make money, which solved the problem of food, clothing, housing and transportation, but he never had the intention to come here again.
Walking on the street, the two of them together, although they are handsome men and beautiful women, did not attract much attention.
After all, their appearance was unrecognizable, and there was no ostentation. They were just walking and shopping.
Not long after, they arrived at Itoya on Central Street in 2-chome.
This century-old stationery store is very conspicuous even in this bustling street.
"Is this Itoya?"
Standing in front of the store, Kurosawa Hikaru looked up at the building, a little disappointed.
He had heard of Itoya's name a long time ago. It is the leader in the neon stationery industry and has a store in Ginza.
But now that I'm here, the ostentation is a little smaller... Is it because in Ginza, a place where land is so valuable?
"What's wrong?"
Igarashi Runa had heard of this store a long time ago. Although she had never been there, she was a little confused when she saw him stop and look up.
"fine."
Although Kurosawa Hikaru was a little disappointed, he understood and shook his head.
Anyway, even the store is smaller than expected.
But Itoya claims to have everything. As long as it is stationery that you can imagine, you can buy it here, so that he can be prepared.
"Welcome to Itoya."
As they entered the store, a beautiful salesperson wearing a store uniform greeted them.
After responding to the welcome, Kurosawa Hikaru looked at the first floor.
Looking around, there are a dazzling array of greeting cards placed everywhere. The unique scent of paper permeates the air, creating a great atmosphere.
"This greeting card is so beautiful... I want to be with you forever in the future. Why don't you buy it for Chizuru?"
Igarashi Runa walked to a shelf and looked at the exquisite and beautiful greeting cards.
Maybe she is not the kind of super academic, but girls have a natural enthusiasm for shopping.
Even if they don't buy it, girls will want to take a look at something beautiful when they see it.
Kurosawa glanced around and found no painting tools, and then found a map on the wall.
Because the space is not large, Itoya arranges all kinds of stationery in layers.
Soon, Kurosawa Hikaru was on the seventh floor and saw the words Painting Stationery.
"Seventh floor, let's go."
After finishing his inspection, Kurosawa Hikaru walked to Igarashi Runa's side.
"Why don't you take a stroll first? Go straight to the seventh floor?"
Igarashi Runa, who was looking at what was written on the cover of the greeting cards one by one, hadn't finished reading them yet, and felt pity after hearing this.
It was a rare trip, and since she was free tonight, she wanted to see more.
“Buy what you want first, then it’s not too late to go shopping.”
Realizing that she was addicted to the unique atmosphere of Ito House and probably wanted to look around, Kurosawa Hikaru thought for a while and said.
If he had come alone, he might have gone back after buying stationery. As for the various floors of the Ito House, he would have just glanced at them.
After all, the purpose of his visit this time was painting stationery. As for other things, there was no need to buy them.
"Then come back later."
Igarashi Runa glanced at the location of the greeting card again, and decided to read it slowly when she walked downstairs from upstairs.
She wanted to choose a greeting card and give it to Qianzuru and other friends when there is a special holiday next time.
Immediately, they went to the seventh floor and took the escalator.
I have to say that where there are books and paper, the special smell is very good, just like a bookstore.
The people in this building are basically very quiet, and they seem to be the type of people who know how to study and need stationery.
Arriving at the seventh floor, Kurosawa Hikaru glanced around and found that the atmosphere was quite good.
The seventh floor of the Ito House Main Building mainly sells pencils, crayons, painting stationery, and sketchbooks.
"What should I buy?"
Igarashi Runa looked around and saw that there were a lot of pens and papers, but she didn't walk away privately this time. She was less enthusiastic about pens than greeting cards.
"Let's see first, it doesn't matter if you buy too much, but you can't buy too little."
Kurosawa glanced around and then started to pick out the items on the display cabinet.
Because the skill of getting started with painting has long since become permanent, he has a clear understanding of what stationery is needed for painting.
Maybe the skill of painting is not usually used, but since we are all here at Itoya, it would be good to buy all the things.
"Indeed, missing out on small details can be fatal."
Igarashi Runa followed and watched with him.
Soon, Kurosawa Hikaru looked at the models and began to choose.
Each model was specially designed for trial writing, and he tried it one by one.
Because he had the technical theoretical knowledge to support him, Kurosawa Hikaru was not an ignorant layman, so he quickly selected eight models and bought two copies of each model.
"Do you need so many pens to draw?"
Seeing him holding two sets of 8-in-1 and 16 pens, Igarashi Runa was a bit speechless.
She had taken art classes before, but all she needed was a pencil. She never imagined that a dozen pens would be needed to draw a picture.
"If you want to draw well, you must have stationery...I am considering whether to draw a color portrait or a sketch portrait."
Kurosawa nodded slightly. Although he bought a lot, he could still use it.
"Is there a difference?"
"Sketching is faster. Colored portraits require colored pencils and will be more complete, but they will also take longer. The completed paintings will be given to her as a souvenir."
For dating tasks, Kurosawa Hikaru will interpret them.
The most fundamental core element of the dating task is to create memories, and the existence of souvenirs will materialize the memories and have a trigger point.
The most important thing is that Miss Ninomiya does not have black hair, but blue hair. It may not be possible to draw her beauty purely with a pencil.
"You are so thoughtful! If she takes the painting home, frames it and hangs it, she will be reminded of you when she sees the painting in her lifetime."
Realizing his plan, Igarashi Runa looked at her sideways, covering her mouth and snickering.
Although she was not in a relationship, she was very happy to see Kurosawa Hikaru being so considerate for Chizuru as her best friend.
"This is romance."
"Not bad."
Igarashi Runa smiled, knowing that he was trying to prove himself for what happened in the car.
She was in the car at that time and learned that Kurosawa Hikaru planned to take Chizuru to sketch and paint, and asked him, "Do you think this is romantic?"
But now I come to the stationery store to buy painting supplies. After getting to know her better, this kind of date has a different kind of romance.
Of course, it is not easy to achieve such a date, you must be able to draw.
Because girls are models, if what you draw is beautiful, it is naturally romantic...if what you draw is ugly, let alone romance, it can only be called a failed date.
"Portraits only require pencils, and if you want to color them, you have to buy more."
To be continued...
