Chapter 292 Maki’s unexpected situation
A certain video game store in Shinjuku Ward.
Maki Miyazawa was sitting in the employee lounge, playing games angrily.
It's not yet school time in the afternoon, and there are very few customers in the store. It only gets busy after school in the afternoon and in the evening, so the store manager's sister allowed the employees to take advantage of the opportunity to fish and play games.
The reason for this is of course because the store manager sister also wants to play.
She also claimed that her behavior was actually to maintain the game cartridges, which was an important job of their video game store employees!
According to a colleague in the store, the store manager sister was not such a person at first, but there was a senior who worked here who liked to play games secretly. The store manager sister, who had a crush on him, eventually joined the game.
It's really strange, how come there are such employees and store managers? By the way, what is the name of that senior?
Maki Miyazawa thought for a moment, and it seemed that his colleague had never told him his name.
So she quickly stopped worrying and turned to look at the female colleague next to her who was browsing on her mobile phone.
"Miki, what are you looking at?"
"Huh? He's a handsome pianist on YouTube. He's been very popular recently."
A female colleague named Miki Hashimoto flipped her hair casually and said casually: "Maki, are you angry?"
"Why do you ask that?" Maki Miyazawa was a little confused.
"You've been playing this mechanical idiot-killing zombie game since you arrived at the store in the morning, right?"
Miki Hashimoto put down her phone and said in surprise: "A normal person can tell at a glance that you are troubled."
"Hmm"
Miyazawa Maki's face turned red for no reason.
She actually had something on her mind, but it wasn't as angry as the other party said.
Mainly because she didn't know how to face what Haruno Sawayama told her yesterday, even though she said she would let the other party resolve Mana's matter before she could think about it.
But when she woke up this morning, she already regretted it, so much so that her stomach growled.
"Here you go."
As if seeing through her thoughts, Hashimoto Miki picked up the potato chips next to her and threw them away.
Maki Miyazawa's eyes lit up immediately after receiving the snacks, and he said with great joy: "Miki, how do you know I'm hungry?"
"Your stomach was growling just now"
Hashimoto Miki sighed and said helplessly: "So, what is it that makes our little princess Maki so entangled?"
"Well, it's actually not a big deal."
Maki Miyazawa, who had just opened the bag of potato chips, suddenly became a little nervous after hearing what the other party asked.
She was a little embarrassed to tell others these things, because even she felt very embarrassed about herself.
Shame prevented her from speaking rashly, but after thinking for a moment, she seemed to have remembered something and asked curiously: "Well, Miki is engaged, right?"
"Yes, you will get married in the spring next year, right?"
Hashimoto Miki scratched her hair and said casually: "My family has met several times, and both parties are very satisfied. Although it feels very hasty, but if you think about it carefully, this kind of thing doesn't matter. ”
"If you think about it carefully, it doesn't matter?"
Maki Miyazawa grabbed a piece of potato chips and stuffed it into his mouth, and said in confusion: "Why does Miki say it seems to be unimportant?"
"Isn't it a matter of importance?"
Hashimoto Miki raised her head in confusion.
"Of course getting married is important, but when you think about having been dating him for four or five years, when you think about getting married, you don't have the excitement of a young couple, right? And we both plan to keep things simple, so maybe it's just Invite some of your family to come and join us.”
"Yes."
Maki Miyazawa muttered something.
Hashimoto Miki and her boyfriend have known each other since they were in junior high school. It seems that they only started dating in the third year of high school. Thinking about it this way, there is really no need for the other party to have any emotional ups and downs on this kind of thing.
After all, the longer time passes, the more it feels like an old couple?
It’s hard to feel excited when it comes to getting married
"What's wrong, does Maki also want to get married?"
Hashimoto Miki stopped what she was doing and curiously moved towards Maki Miyazawa's position.
"You've said something about yourself and your boyfriend before, right? Is it because we talked about engagement and marriage but was rejected by the other party, so you're in a bad mood now?"
"That's not true."
Maki Miyazawa worriedly took out a handful of potato chips and stuffed them into his mouth, muttering: "It's just the opposite. He told me about getting married."
"Wouldn't that be nice?"
Hashimoto Miki immediately sat up straight and said with a smile: "Maki, you have said before that your boyfriend is very good to you, right? And judging from the way you look, he likes you so much that he is there every day when you go to work. Tell us about your boyfriend?”
"Since he has made a request for marriage, he might as well agree to it. Even if he can't afford a decent wedding now, the worst thing he can do is let him make up for it later." Miki Hashimoto added.
Miki Hashimoto thought Maki Miyazawa's hesitation was due to Yuzawayama Haruno's poor economic conditions. However, she felt that this problem was not that serious, and judging from Maki Miyazawa's appearance, she did not seem to have much financial requirements.
But the reality is not that simple.
Listening to the other party's persuasion, Miyazawa Maki became more and more worried.
She also ate more and more potato chips, until her cheeks were bulging, and then she explained vaguely: "It's not about money."
"What's the reason? Maki is afraid of marriage? Or is there someone in the family who doesn't agree?" Hashimoto Miki asked puzzled.
These were the only reasons she could imagine. After all, Maki always kept talking about her and her boyfriend. How could such a love-minded guy have other reasons to dare not agree to her boyfriend's marriage request?
Maki Miyazawa swallowed the potato chips hard. Just when he was about to open his mouth to explain more clearly to the other party, a strange feeling came from his body the next moment.
Her expression suddenly changed.
"Maki?"
"Wait, let's talk later."
Maki Miyazawa stood up with a pale face, turned around and ran towards the outside of the employee lounge.
"Hey, where are you going?"
Seeing her looking like she was running for her life in a hurry, Hashimoto Miki subconsciously followed her.
When she saw the other party rushing straight into the bathroom, she thought it was the potato chips that had eaten up Maki's stomach. However, before she could speak, she heard the sound of retching coming from inside.
"Maki, are you okay?!"
Hashimoto Miki was immediately frightened and quickly followed into the bathroom.
When she saw Maki Miyazawa lying on the sink in pain, looking like she wanted to vomit but couldn't, she suddenly became anxious.
"Are you feeling unwell? Do you need to go to the hospital?"
"Wait a minute"
Maki Miyazawa waved her hands tiredly, declining Hashimoto Miki's kindness. However, the next moment, an even more severe vomiting sensation came over her, and her face instantly turned extremely pale.
"Also, let's go to the hospital for a checkup."
Hashimoto Miki stood up in a panic and shouted outside to another colleague who was on duty at the front desk.
When the two saw Maki Miyazawa looking like he was about to vomit, they immediately decided to temporarily close the video game store.
The colleague on duty at the front desk reacted the fastest. He ran out first to hail a taxi and took out his mobile phone to report the situation to the store manager sister.
Miki Hashimoto helped Maki Miyazawa, who was retching, into the car, and the three of them went straight to the nearest hospital.
At the same time, in a high-end apartment building in Shinjuku District.
Haruno Sawayama just came out of the bathroom after taking a shower. When he saw Suguha Esaki who had already tidied up the house, he said apologetically: "Didn't you tell me to wait for me to come out and tidy up?"
"Because I have a share, and isn't it normal for the person who finished washing first to clean up?"
Suguha Ezaki tied the garbage bags she had sorted into a beautiful bow, smiled sweetly at Haruno Sawayama and said, "Would you like me to help you occasionally?"
Sawayama Haruno smiled, but before he could speak, the cell phone on the table rang.
"Wait a moment."
Haruno Sawayama scratched his still wet hair, and as soon as he walked over and picked up the phone, he said "Huh" in confusion.
"Who's calling?"
Seeing his strange expression, Esaki Suga asked subconsciously.
"The store manager sister who used to work part-time is also Maki's current store manager. Maybe she got into trouble. I'll pick up and listen." Haruno Sawayama whispered.
I haven’t spoken to the other party for a while. The last time I called her was to ask for leave for Maki. After all, Maki was too tired to get out of bed that morning. As the culprit for making her so tired, Haruno Sawayama also consciously took on the role of helping people ask for leave.
But this time, why did the other party call?
"Hello, store manager?"
Haruno Sawayama answered the phone without thinking, but the anxious words coming from the other end made his expression change slightly.
"Really?"
His anxious voice attracted the attention of Esaki Suguha who was still cleaning up at the side.
The tall girl looked over blankly, but all she saw was Sawayama Haruno's slightly panicked face.
What happened?
Esaki Suguha was slightly startled. This was the first time she saw Sawayama Haruno showing such an expression.
However, before she could think more about it, Haruno Sawayama said "Yes, yes, I understand" and did not forget to turn his head and give him a look.
As a tacit relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend, Esaki Suguha immediately understood what the other party meant, and silently went to the room to change into clothes suitable for going out.
After she hurried out, Sawayama Haruno was already ready. After putting on their shoes, the two of them hurried downstairs.
