Chapter 175 There is something strange in the water

Chizuru Ninomiya was so embarrassed that she wanted to jump into the river, while Hikaru Kurosawa was distracted by the system prompts.

[The task progress has been updated, making her shy three times has been completed. 】

"It's done...it's easier than expected."

Realizing that she was shy, Kurosawa Hikaru stole a glance at her and did not dare to speak, but thought to himself.

Initially, he thought that today's task would be difficult...but it turned out to be unexpectedly easy.

For example, when she was asked to take off her stockings, she didn't think too much about it, she just cared that this was a wilderness.

As for shyness, he completed the mission without doing anything specifically, and he was even shyer than Xiao Yuki.

Currently, the two of them are soaking their feet by the creek. When five minutes are up, the only task left is to draw a portrait.

"The tasks assigned by the system seem to be quite simple..."

Kurosawa Hikaru couldn't help but sigh in his heart as he was able to complete the task easily.

If you think about it carefully, the dating tasks triggered by the system so far have various tasks, but they are all very easy to complete.

The dating task is not so much a challenge as it is a guide.

Because of the rewards, in order to complete the task, he will muster up more courage and motivation to date girls and do things he would never do at all.

For example, when he went on a date with Koyuki at a karaoke bar for the first time, if there was no mission goal, and out of the basic courtesy of the first meeting, he would never have the idea of ​​asking Koyuki to give him a knee pillow.

There was also the second date on the beach with Yuki. If there was no mission target, he would never have acted like a hooligan by helping Yuki apply sunscreen and almost touching it all over her body.

Another example is when he first dated Miss Ninomiya, he tried every means to make her fall in love, and even deliberately took her into a haunted house and let her hold his arm.

Combining many dating experiences, plus this time, he found that the system was only in the process of making him become better, and he could also experience many things, which contributed to the beautiful memories between the two of them.

After thinking for a while, Kurosawa Hikaru took another peek at Miss Ninomiya beside him.

She still couldn't recover... because what happened just now was too shameful, it could even be said to be black history, and it had a lot of stamina.

"It should be five minutes, right?"

Kurosawa Hikaru felt that it was necessary to change the status quo, but he did not change his attitude directly, but thought.

With this in mind, he also opened the task panel to check the progress of the foot soaking task to see how long it would take.

[Sit with her by the creek and soak your feet. Mission progress: 0 seconds.]

"?"

Seeing the progress of this task, Kurosawa Hikaru tilted his head, and a big question mark appeared in his heart.

He looked down and saw that he and Miss Ninomiya were indeed soaking their feet by the stream.

That's right, why hasn't the task progress moved?

For this kind of time-required task, the progress will be updated in real time, but it will not be reminded every second, but will only be prompted when the accumulation is completed.

"What's happening here?"

Kurosawa Hikaru was stunned and couldn't figure out what to do for a moment.

"The mission goal of a date is to create beautiful and unforgettable memories. It usually has three fixed requirements: stage, contact, and heartbeat. If the mission goal reaches four or more, there will be additional directions and the rewards will become more generous.

"

Following his confusion, the system spoke for the first time in a long time.

"Fixed conditions?"

This was the first time Kurosawa Hikaru heard this statement, and he immediately had ideas and directions.

There are four dating tasks in total this time.

[One hundred and fifty kilometers away from Tokyo], this is the stage.

[Make her shy three times], this is my heartbeat.

The remaining two tasks are [Draw a portrait for her] and [Sit with her by the river, or soak her feet by the creek]

From a literal analysis, the only task that can meet the inherent condition of "contact" is to soak feet together.

As for "drawing a portrait of her", the direction should be to show self-worth.

"Do I have to have physical contact with her?"

Suddenly realizing the direction of the mission target, Kurosawa Hikaru took another look at the mission progress. It was still 0 seconds, and then he looked at Ninomiya Chizuru beside him.

After a while, she finally recovered and her blush faded, but she still tensed up and didn't dare to make a sound.

Seeing this, Kurosawa Hikaru was also observing her and thinking about countermeasures.

She clasped her hands together and placed them on her thighs. She was very nervous. She wanted to shake hands, but she was afraid it would not be natural enough.

Do you want to sit next to each other? But if you suddenly lean in, will it scare her?

As for holding her, it was even more sudden...the atmosphere was a bit awkward and not natural enough.

Being stared at by him, Ninomiya Chizuru, who was still very nervous, suddenly felt anxious and began to think wildly.

"He is looking at me with a strange look. Is it because of what happened just now?"

"What should I do? What should I do to make him forget what happened just now? Can I give him money?"

"One million... This seems too little. I only brought one million as spare when I came out this time. How about ten million? Write him a check."

Although she hates profit-seeking people like her parents, after all, she grew up in such a family education, and she inevitably developed the habit of using money to solve problems.

According to what her parents said, as long as it can be solved with money, it is not a problem.

"ah!"

At this moment, Ninomiya Chizuru, who was tense, suddenly felt that her feet soaked in the stream had touched something. She was immediately startled, her body trembled involuntarily, and she pulled her feet out of the water.

return.

"Kurosawa, bring your feet up quickly, there is something strange in the water."

She put her legs aside, and out of worry, she hurriedly grabbed Kurosawa's arm and shook it to remind him.

"Well……"

Being shaken and seeing her frightened expression, Kurosawa Hikaru was very embarrassed.

Because the strange thing she was talking about was his feet.

He had been observing for a while, but when he was really at his wits' end, he suddenly noticed the feet under the stream, and thought of the task of soaking her feet, so he tried to interact with her underwater.

Unexpectedly, he cautiously touched her with his feet and frightened her like this.

Ninomiya Chizuru shook his arm a few times and soon noticed his stiffness and embarrassment.

She lowered her head and took a look, and found that there was nothing in the water, no fish, no garbage, only Kurosawa's feet.

Seeing this scene, combined with Kurosawa Hikaru's awkward reaction...it was obvious that the strange thing she just touched was Kurosawa's foot.

"Sorry, I thought it was fish and snakes or something."

Ninomiya Chizuru calmed down, smoothed her messy hair with her hands, regained her composure, put her feet in the water again, and explained.

Her face started to feel hot again... she felt ashamed and dejected.

It was obviously a difficult date, but she ended up losing her composure many times, unable to maintain her previous maturity and calmness at all.

Her image and what was supposed to be a beautiful and happy date were all ruined by her.

"This stream is so fast. I just passed it without paying attention."

Kurosawa Hikaru was sitting upstream. Seeing her embarrassment, he realized that he could no longer remain silent and spoke.

"I know."

Ninomiya Chizuru nodded, feeling increasingly annoyed.

What happened to me today? I was shocked.

She is older than Kurosawa Hikaru, so she should be like a calm and calm older sister who is not alarmed when things happen.

"This stream is really big."

Finding that she was still in a bad mood, Kurosawa Hikaru thought for a while and added.

"?"

Hearing this, Ninomiya Chizuru looked forward with some confusion.

The stream of Asera Valley, but when you soak your feet while sitting still, your legs and feet should be able to remain still, right?

Then, she suddenly discovered that Kurosawa Hikaru's feet under the stream were getting closer and closer to her own feet.

Rather than being carried away by the stream, it's better to say that he came over deliberately.

Just like that, the feet under the stream touched each other.

Because she was conscious this time and realized beforehand, Ninomiya Chizuru was not frightened.
