I push the kid!

"Huh? Not at all."

"You don't understand."

"Fool."

After the call, Taku Makimura packed up simply and went out, taking the train to work.

The spring breeze when leaving the platform was much warmer than usual, and everywhere I looked there were pedestrians and traffic.

The early cherry blossoms on the roadside were flying, and the rising sun was peeking out from the building little by little. He walked to the store under the faint golden light.

Since it was not yet working hours, Koizumi Hanami was the only one in the store.

When they were alone, the two of them hardly talked.

Unless Koizumi Hanami had something to ask him, such as putting something on the top shelf, she would speak hesitantly because she really couldn't reach it.

She is about 1.6 meters tall, but her proportions are excellent. Even without wearing a short skirt or hot pants, her legs look very long.

They usually dress simply, with loose pants and loose clothes. If they don’t wear pants, the clothes may cover their buttocks.

She has a delicate face and is about the same age as Hoshino Ai. Because she couldn't adapt to school life, she took a year off in her senior year of high school and never went back.

According to Koizumi Hanami's own introduction, she and Ogura Tomoki knew each other before. They were classmates from kindergarten to junior high school graduation.

However, she went to a girls' school in Tokyo for high school, while Ogura Tomoki attended a high-end private school, and the two would occasionally contact each other.

After Koizumi Hanami dropped out of school, it was Ogura Tomoki who asked her to work in the store opened by her family, and she was very grateful.

When it was exactly nine o'clock, Maki Teramoto and Hideki Nishida came in from outside together.

Although they check out the locations every time, they are extremely diligent in their daily work.

Koizumi Hanami seemed clumsy next to them and could only do simple tasks and attract some customers with her charming face.

Not to mention Taku Makimura, what he is doing now is so good that he can even make Koizumi flower sea, but he is still in the deep learning of making coffee.

It’s not that he is a slow learner or can’t learn, but Koizumi Hanami doesn’t want to give up the job in his hands.

She thought to herself, if she entrusted all her work to Makimura Taku, wouldn't that mean she would be useless? So she only told him to do the simplest things.

Taku Makimura said he wanted to try making coffee himself, but Maki Teramoto was reluctant.

She seemed to enjoy the process of teaching others how to make coffee, and regardless of what Taku Makimura thought, she insisted on teaching the production methods of each single product.

Fortunately, Taku Makimura was able to keep up with the progress. He felt that he would be able to master it all in another two days, and it would not be too late to try again then.

The business closed at noon and the four people took off their uniform aprons and left.

The sun outside is not hot at all and the temperature is just right.

Maki Teramoto and the others were discussing where to go for dinner in the sunshine. Taku Makimura said he had no appetite and turned around and walked towards the bookstore alone.

When they arrived at the bookstore, Taku Makimura randomly picked up a less popular novel from the wooden shelf. After finding a seat to sit down, he sent a message to Hoshino Ai on his mobile phone, asking her where her training place was usually and whether he could go there in the afternoon.

Hoshino Ai happened to read his message, and within a few seconds she sent him her location along with a cute rabbit emoticon.

"Are you coming this afternoon?" she asked on LINE.

"You can go through." Makimura Taku replied to her.

"I'm going to eat now. I'll take a short break in the afternoon and then continue training. When will you come?"

"All right, when will you train?"

After a few seconds, Hoshino Ai replied: "I'm afraid you're too early, why don't you come over at two o'clock, we will definitely be there then."

"no problem."

"Don't you have to go to work today?" There is a rabbit with a question at the back.

Taku Makimura sent her the schedule he had taken.

Hoshino Ai took some time to finish looking at her watch: "It's not that busy."

"No comparison with you."

Surprised Rabbit. "You don't know me."

"It's a newly formed idol group after all."

"That's true."

"I'll be there in the afternoon, you go eat first."

"Okay." Cute rabbit expression.

The conversation ended without further development.

Taku Makimura put away his cell phone and read until 1:20. Then he left the bookstore and took the train from Shibuya Station to Ochanomizu.

Outside Ochanomizu Station, located at the junction of Bunkyo-ku and Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, the Kanda River originates from Inokashira Pond in Mitaka City.

After flowing through Takadanobaba and Iidabashi, it merges into the Sumida River, across the Ochanomizu Bridge and the JR railway line.

Coming out of the station, Taku Makimura walked along the river, turned into the rows of high-rise buildings, and passed through a street known as the largest musical instrument street in Japan.

The streets are filled with guitars of various colors and a wide variety of promotional posters. In front of a store, there is a character stand of "Lonely Rock".

He did not linger and left after a few minutes.

The population became fewer and fewer as he went deeper. He walked around the park and climbed dozens of stone steps, and there were almost no people around.

There was an open space under the shade of a tree not far away, and a girl's voice came from there.

Thank you all for your tips, monthly votes, and recommendation votes.

Chapter 29 Everything Starts Because of You

Chapter 29. Everything Starts Because of You

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, one, two, three, four..."

Following the sound, Makimura Taku walked a little closer.

Four girls were practicing their steps under the shade of a tree, two in front, two in the back, and Hoshino Ai was at the back, just where Makimura Taku couldn't see her.

A girl in the upper right corner noticed Makimura Taku out of the corner of her eye and looked at him for a second. She shyly looked away, a beat slow in her movements.

"One, two... stop." The four people stopped.

A voice behind me said, "Ninomiya, what's wrong with you? Your movements seem a little unfocused."

"Ah, sorry." Ninomiya Ritsuko replied, "I was a little distracted just now, sorry, can you start over again?"

"It's okay, let's start over again, Gao Feng." said Hoshino Ai.

"Focus a little, really, everyone get ready." Sanae Takamine clapped her hands.

"Wait! Do we need to continue?" the fourth person said, "We practiced for so long this morning, and after lunch we continued practicing until now. Don't you think it would be appropriate to take a short break?"

"Stupid Watanabe, we don't have much time." Takamine Sanae pressed her temple with a headache, "If you can't even coordinate your movements, you will definitely be eliminated. No one wants to see that."

"But it's also important to combine work and rest..." Watanabe Mai said softly.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault!" Ritsuko Ninomiya bowed and apologized.

"It's not anyone's fault," Takamine Sanae sighed, "The fact is just as I said, we don't have much time. The talent show will start in about a month, so we need to hurry up and train..."

"Is there really no rest at all?" Mai Watanabe asked unwillingly.

"Well, I think Gao Feng is right." Hoshino Ai spoke to her softly.

"Xiao Ai, why do you say that too?" Mai Watanabe's voice seemed to be melted by the high temperature.

"It can't be helped," Hoshino Ai smiled reluctantly, "After all, President Saito and Ms. Kyoko also hope that we can succeed by then, and they even said today that they would rent a special training room for us."

"That's right." Mai Watanabe didn't know what to say, "By the way, Ai-chan called President Saito's name wrong again."

"Really?" Hoshino Ai asked stupidly, "I remember I always called you that."

"Hahaha," Mai Watanabe finished laughing and said to Sanae Takamine, "Sanae, I'm not an idiot. The real idiot is Ai."

Ritsuko Ninomiya, who was standing by, covered her mouth and chuckled, trying hard not to laugh.

Hoshino Ai still looked at everyone with a look that said, "I didn't call you wrong just now, did I?"

Takamine Sanae held her forehead and rubbed her eyelids, sighing imperceptibly.

"Forget it," Takamine Sanae said to the three of them, "Everyone looks tired, so let's move around and take a rest."

"Really?" asked Mai Watanabe.

The other two also turned their heads and confirmed with Sanae Takamine with their eyes.

"Yeah." Takamine Sanae responded.

"Long live!" Mai Watanabe raised her hands and cheered.

"Ninomiya," Takamine Sanae hooked her finger, "Shall we go over there and talk?"

"Oh, okay." Ritsuko Ninomiya nodded.

Mai Watanabe ran away from the three people, passed by Taku Makimura without even raising her head, and rushed down dozens of stairs in one breath. No one knew where she was going.

After the three people walked away, Hoshino Ai was exposed from the crowd. She was wearing a pair of blue denim hot pants and a yellow short-sleeved top from Uniqlo. Her white cotton socks were just slightly higher than the shoe uppers. Her white and slender thighs were fully revealed, and her figure looked extremely perfect.

She retreated under the tree and was about to take out her cell phone and sit down when Makimura Taku raised his hand towards her in a conspicuous direction. Hoshino Ai smiled, put away her cell phone and walked to his side.

"When did you come?" Hoshino Ai asked him.

"I just arrived." said Taku Makimura.

"Just now?" Hoshino Ai stared at him suspiciously, "Did you see me training?"

"I came too late, and really didn't see anything."

“What a pity~”

"Kind of."

“How about we sit over there?” She pointed to the shade of the tree behind her. “Although it’s not very hot, I didn’t apply sunscreen today, so it’s better to stay out of the sun.”

"Will it disturb your training?"

"It's okay, it's time to rest now."
