After rebirth, I became Tokyo Sentimental

Chapter 38. Pick the sun, moon and stars with your own hands, and taste tea with your own people

"Clasp your fingers tightly together, and push hard."

"Bend your arms first and then straighten them."

"Yes, that's the movement. You can relax your body a little so that you can throw it more naturally."

In the indoor bowling alley in Shibuya, Ryuka Hoshino stood behind Harano Tsukasa to the right, teaching him step by step how to throw the bowling ball. As she lowered her head slightly, a few strands of her light brown hair fell on the back of Harano Tsukasa's hand, causing a slight itch on her skin.

Not only that, the fresh and natural scent of orange blossom keeps penetrating into the nose, with a slight warm scent.

And in the areas not covered by the pure white suspenders that Hoshino Ryuka was wearing, large areas of snow-white skin were revealed, which made him raise his eyebrows, and he even felt a faint sense of caressing on the back of his right shoulder blade.

Faced with this situation, Yuanye Si accepted it silently, but he couldn't help but feel surprised in his heart.

Is your skill so profound?
Let’s start with the tea ceremony field!

"And just throw it out?" Yuan Ye Si moved his body slightly to the right and rear without leaving any trace, and assumed a serious throwing posture.

However, Hoshino Ryuka beside him seemed not to notice and whispered in his ear:
"When you bowl, keep your eyes on the arrow, step forward with your dominant foot, push your elbow forward naturally, and keep your thumb firmly clasped to keep the ball stable."

"Then step forward with your other foot, relax your elbow on the side holding the ball, and let the ball swing back behind your body. Don't let your elbow open outward."

"Then, take a step forward with your dominant foot, use the weight of the ball, use your shoulder as the axis, and the ball as a pendulum, swing forward in a pendulum-like motion to throw the ball. At this time, keep your wrist stable and don't hunch over to hurt your waist..."

"like this!"

"boom!"

"Hurrah!"

The bowling ball made of polymer was thrown out by Ryuka Hoshino with the pendulum-like movement of her arm. It rolled straight down the wooden lane and hit the wooden pins distributed in a triangle shape. The ten wooden pins were instantly knocked to the ground.

The electronic display screen above the heads of the two men standing on the wooden fairway refreshed quickly, and subtitles scrolled at the bottom, showing the results of their throws.

"Amazing! I didn't expect that Yuanye-kun can learn so quickly." Hoshino Ryuka let go of her hand and said with a smile.

Do you want to listen to what you are saying?
You were the one throwing it the whole time, okay?
I don't think I did anything except that you kept hitting people with your ball from beginning to end?
"It just happened this time."

"Newbie welfare period?"

"should be."

Harano Tsukasa looked at Hoshino Ryuka who had already taken a half step back and found that she had a very good figure. Perhaps it was because the gathering effect of the beautiful back similar to that of a vest was too good, which easily squeezed out a snow-white ravine on her chest. While enjoying the scenery, he said, "I'm a little tired after throwing for a while. Let's go over there and take a rest?"

"Okay."

As soon as Hoshino Ryuka said this, she saw Harano Tsukasa staring at her. She seemed to realize it belatedly and looked down at her chest. She groaned and quickly covered her chest, and whispered shyly: "Harano-kun, why do you always stare at me..."

"Because she's so beautiful." Harano Tsukasa made no secret of his opinion: "After all, taking a look is a sign of respect."

"But you have been..."

“To keep watching is to keep respecting.”

"..."

"It was just a joke. It's so offensive. I hope Hoshino-san won't be angry." Although Harano Si knew that she was being generous on purpose, he still had to give her some way out.

"What did you say?"

A slight blush appeared on Hoshino Ryuka's pretty, fair oval face, and she couldn't help but say something to him coquettishly.

Then he reached out and pinched him.

Not very strong.

On the contrary, it seems more like a spoiled child.

Pick the sun, moon and stars with your hands.

It’s best to taste tea with your own friends!
As expected of her, she is the famous green tea digger in the Health and Welfare Division of the Bunkyo Ward Office. Her energy is just right!
If Harano Tsukasa had not been able to see through Hoshino Ryuka's wishes, he would probably have been immersed in the dual tea art realm of her body and atmosphere.

have to say.

Although green tea girls have bad intentions, they are really comfortable to get along with. Especially today, Hoshino Ryuka was very open and willing to give up. Only by giving can you gain. Like that Kawachi Yumemi I met a few days ago, she was so stingy and still wanted to get benefits. Even if Harano Tsukasa chose a dog as his partner, he would not choose this kind of low-level gold digger.

"How come Mr. Hoshino has time to ask me out? Isn't today a working day?" Harano Tsukasa, who was already sitting in the rest area, took a sip of water and asked curiously.

You know, today is a working day.

As far as I can remember, this woman has never taken a leave of absence. Although she doesn't work on weekdays, she has never missed her attendance record.

Moreover, she took the initiative to ask him out today, and intentionally or unintentionally made physical contact with him. The word "intentional" is not quite accurate to describe it, and the word "seduction" is more accurate.

"I took a day off."

"I haven't been feeling very happy at work lately, so I asked Section Chief Suzumiya for leave and planned to go out and relax."

When she said this, the smile on Hoshino Ryuka's face was obviously forced, and there was an unconcealable loneliness in her eyes, as if she had really encountered some major change and was in a low mood.

"Not happy?" Harano Tsukasa recalled the rumors he had heard from Ryouta Takizawa and Genji Hiraga: "Speaking of which, shouldn't you be promoted to department head, Hoshino-san?"

"No, it's all just rumors."

"That's it."

"Stop talking about this. Since you're unhappy at work, you can't stop talking about this, Hara-no-kun."

"Okay, then I won't say anything."

Although Harano Tsukasa didn't say anything, his words just now undoubtedly healed the scars of Hoshino Ryuka.

Promotion? Department head?
What a haha!
Ever since she ran into Suzumiya Saka during her last date with Harano Tsukasa at Takashimaya Department Store in Shibuya, she discovered that the usually silent him was actually having an affair with the section chief!
If she was still unsure at that time, then when she returned to work later, she was certain in her heart because Suzumiya Saka always made things difficult for her intentionally or unintentionally, and specifically asked her to do the most difficult work. Before she even started, she would find any reason to call her to the office and severely reprimand her.

Although she couldn't figure out why Harano Tsukasa had a relationship with Section Chief Suzumiya, she knew that her future in the workplace was almost ruined.

In the Japanese workplace, the boss has absolute authority.

Female subordinates must learn to be obedient. However, such an inexplicable thing actually cut off her future and made all her efforts for promotion and salary increase in the past few years go to waste.

In other words, if Harano Tsukasa hadn't appeared, she wouldn't have fallen into this situation.

To say hate.

there must be.

But Hoshino Rika is not the kind of person who likes to sit and wait for death after failure, or then point her finger at others and start scolding them. Instead, she prefers to save herself!

However, after much thought, the current way to save myself seems to be that there is no other choice, better candidate or time, except to test Yuanye Si's strength and not waste this opportunity if he really has the ability.

As for whether or not she is afraid of Suzumiya Saka...

If she still wants to be promoted.

That must be scary.

But she is a woman, so she understands women best.

After she showed weakness several times and asked Suzumiya Saka what she should do to gain her forgiveness but was rejected, Hoshino Ryuka knew that this path was not feasible, after all, women are too narrow-minded.

Since there is no way out, just don't go any further.

So now she is not afraid of Suzumiya Saka.

As a local civil servant, as long as he doesn't want to be promoted, the section chief will still be the section chief, but she is the minister!

That is, with this idea in mind, even if she found out that Yuanye Si did not offer conditions that satisfied her, or there was no chance for them to be together, she could just change her career, so she immediately chose to take the initiative.

Hoshino Ryuka pursed her lips and was silent for a while before she took the initiative to speak: "I'm actually quite embarrassed to say this. Last time you asked me out, although I met the section chief, I did cancel the appointment because of something urgent. This time I just happened to have taken a leave and had nothing to do, so I wanted to see if you had time and treat you to a meal to apologize."

"That's quite a coincidence. I've been quite busy these days and just happened to have some free time." Yuanye Si said.

Ryuka Hoshino's heart moved, she put down the half-drunk can of peach juice in her hand, and asked casually, "What are you busy with recently, Yuanye-kun?"

"Busy for nothing." Yuan Ye Si smiled and said, "I have been free since I resigned. I have been looking for something to do recently."

"really envy you."

"Unlike me, I'm still working at the district office. The Metropolitan Government came to inspect a few days ago, and I was so busy that my head almost dropped. And you don't know, yesterday an old lady came to our place and made a scene, and she almost injured the section chief."

Ryuka Hoshino, who did not receive the important information, did not show any change in expression. Instead, she sighed and complained about her work, while telling him a piece of information that he did not know.

However, while she was saying this, her eyes were always fixed on Harano Tsukasa's face.

Carefully observe the changes in his expression.

But unfortunately, when Harano Tsukasa heard that Suzumiya Saka was almost beaten by the old lady who came to make trouble, his expression did not change at all, as if it had nothing to do with him. Instead, he asked about the cause of the incident.

"What is the specific reason?"

"That old lady didn't get diagnosed with any disease during the free checkup at the town, so she was a little lucky. I don't know what she was thinking, but she actually canceled her national health insurance. As a result, she felt unwell last month and was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. So she said it was our fault and we had to pay the insurance premium..."

National health insurance and social security.

The former is the function of the state to be responsible for insurance, and the insurance premium is paid by oneself. In fact, it is equivalent to basic medical insurance. It is indeed very dangerous if this thing is not available.

Yuan Ye Si nodded after listening to her words, and after thinking for a long time, he asked:

"So are you okay?"

"I was drinking coffee in the teahouse at the time, so I was fine. I didn't come out until the old lady left."

"What about Section Chief Suzumiya?"

"Looks like he was scratched? I don't know the details, because the section chief went straight to..."

"Ryuka, what a coincidence, you are here too!?"

Just when Hoshino Ryuka was telling Harano Tsukasa what happened and mentioned Suzumiya Saka, a surprised female voice suddenly sounded from the left, and then Harano Tsukasa saw a short-haired girl with a shoulder bag walking quickly towards them.

"Mio!?"

Hoshino Ryuka was also attracted by the call, and she stood up immediately after seeing who was coming.

The two of them moved closer together, cheeks touching.

As if she had not expected to run into her good friend here, Hoshino Ryuka took Eguchi Mio's hand and said with a smile, "Did you come here to play by yourself?"

But compared to her happiness, Mio Eguchi was stunned when she suddenly remembered something.

"No, I'm with Yamashita-kun."

She hesitated and then spoke again:

"And Shashi and her boyfriend..."

As soon as the word Saki was mentioned, Harano Tsukasa, who was still sitting in his seat, clearly caught the sudden widening of Hoshino Ryuka's eyes and the slowly shrinking smile, as if she was not happy to meet a friend by chance.

It was at this time.

Another teasing voice reached my ears.

"Ryuka, long time no see."

Harano Tsukasa looked in the direction of the sound and saw a blonde woman wearing a white beret with a faint smile on her face, walking towards him with the arm of a tall, muscular young man.

The moment she saw her, Hoshino Ryuka's face darkened instantly, and a gloom gradually appeared in her eyes.

Yuan Ye Si became interested when he saw this.

Enemy? Love rival? Or opponent?

As a friend of the tea master, according to the law of tea, those who are close to tea are the tea of tea, he should not be a good person. But now, Harano Tsukasa is more curious about the past between Hoshino Rika and the two women who suddenly appeared in front of him, especially the woman who was obviously hostile.
