Service Club? Just like you guys, you want to step into the whirlpool of the band?

Nagasaki Miyoko took out a tissue, wiped her hands, and turned around to speak.

"How about going for a barbecue?"

Ichinose Asaba suggested.

Because you can go to a private room to eat barbecue, it is quiet and you don’t have to worry about being disturbed.

"Although I've been focusing on my figure recently, since Xiao Qianyu said so, let's go!"

Despite this concern, Nagasaki Miyoko readily nodded and agreed.

"Body management?"

However, when he heard this, Asaba Ichinose was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but look at Nagasaki Miyoko twice more.

No, you still need to manage your body when you are so thin?

"What does Xiao Qianyu want to say?"

As if she noticed Ichinose Asaba's gaze, she simply put her hands on her waist.

"Miyoko, you should eat more. It's my treat tonight."

Then Ichinose Asaba sighed.

Because even if he was not in Roppongi, he could guess that Nagasaki Miyoko must often stay up late. She is so thin and still thinking about body management. Doesn't she really worry about malnutrition?

"Then I won't be polite!"

Knowing that Ichinose Asaba was concerned about her, Nagasaki Midoriko didn't say much. After all, she didn't have to be polite.

But, if Xiao Sushi knew that she had dinner with Xiao Qianyu tonight, would she be jealous?

But surely that wouldn't be the case with my mom, right?

Nagasaki Miyoko thought about it and finally decided not to tell Nagasaki Motoyo that she had met Ichinose Asaba tonight.

Otherwise, her precious daughter would not be able to sleep.

After a while, Ichinose Asaba brought Nagasaki Miyoko to the most expensive barbecue restaurant nearby, where the average price per person was 10,000 yen.

This is a place he usually doesn't want to come to.

Fortunately, this amount of money is no longer a burden for him now.

"Just here."

Asaba Ichinose randomly found a private room, opened the wooden door that was used to block the view, and then sat cross-legged on the tatami.

In order to let Nagasaki Miyoko eat more, he specially ordered two more servings of Wagyu beef.

“Do you really want to order so much?”

When Nagasaki Miyoko saw Ichinose Asaba, she almost copied a menu and ordered things like beef tenderloin, beef tongue, beef belly and liver. When she felt she couldn't eat so much, she quickly waved her hand to stop him.

"I'll take some back if I can't finish it."

However, Ichinose Asaba had no intention of stopping, but continued to order until she finished ordering and then handed the menu to the waiter.

Seeing this, Nagasaki Midori could only smile.

At worst, she can just eat more later.

"By the way, where does Xiao Qianyu live now? Is it far from here?"

Then she got to the point of today's meal and began asking about Asaba Ichinose's living conditions.

"Go to the park in front and walk a short distance ahead and you'll be there."

It's only about ten minutes' walk, which is quite fast.

"Xiao Qianyu, is this house rented by yourself? Or with friends?"

At this time, the waiter in the store had already brought up the Wagyu beef that Asaba Ichinose ordered. Seeing this, Nagasaki Miyoko picked up two slices and put them on the baking tray, and said.

"It's a very small rental house, and I'm alone."

Asaba Ichinose answered truthfully, and stood up to serve a bowl of rice to the eldest daughter, Miyoko Ichizaki.

"Is that so? If it weren't too late, I'd really like to go and see where Xiao Qianyu lives now."

Nagasaki Miyoko then expressed her true thoughts.

“It’s very crowded, nothing special.”

There will even be power outages when it rains, and this is not an exaggeration.

Ichinose Asaba sighed.

"So... when does Xiao Qianyu plan to go home?"

Here we go, finally the topic comes back to this.

Although Ichinose Asaba had already prepared himself mentally, he still felt a little nervous when faced with this question from Nagasaki Miyoko.

""

He didn't say anything not because he wanted to escape, but because he hadn't figured out how to answer yet.

If this question had been asked in the past, that is, before he went to RiNG to learn about the situation, he might have refused. But since the misunderstanding has been resolved, there is no need for him to argue about it.

However, if he were to move back now, it would be inconvenient with so many things in the rental house, and it would take the moving company two or three days to go back and forth.

Of course, the most important point is that the rules for renting a house in Japan are actually quite strict... It doesn't mean that you can cancel it whenever you want, because the lease contract clearly stipulates that if the tenant wants to cancel the lease, he must notify the landlord one to two months in advance and pay a part of the liquidated damages, usually the amount is one to two months' rent.

And during this period, he has to clean up everything in the rental house and restore it to its original state, otherwise... the landlord will have reason to reject his application for termination of the lease, not to mention that his current contract has not expired yet.

So, this matter is very troublesome

"Asaba, there's no need to reply so quickly." Seeing that Ichinose Asaba hadn't replied for a long time, Nagasaki Miyoko seemed to realize that she was getting a little anxious, so she tried to make amends, "After all, I know Asaba, you've lived here for a year. If you suddenly move back to Roppongi, you'll definitely not be used to it. Besides, it's not convenient to go back to Sobu High School."

After saying this, Nagasaki Miyoko couldn't help feeling a little lost.

After all, no matter what, she really wanted Ichinose Asaba to go back, but... since Ichinose Asaba was still hesitating, she couldn't say anything more. She could only say... let's wait and see.

However, just when she was about to give up, Ichinose Asaba suddenly shook her head and said bluntly, "It's okay. After this month, I will discuss the termination of the lease with the landlord."

That serious tone and expression didn't sound like a joke at all.

Naturally, Nagasaki Miyoko was surprised but also shocked. She immediately looked at him and said, "But it will be very inconvenient. Although Xiao Sushi and I miss you very much, this matter still needs to be decided based on the current actual situation."

Then, she extended her index finger, thought for a while, and said, "At worst, I can come back once a week!"

That way, they can also get together every week and go out for a meal or something.

"Sobu High School doesn't start classes until around 8:30 in the morning, so I can make it if I leave around 6:30." But it seemed as if Ichinose Asaba already had his own plans. He slowly explained, "Besides, I usually have a part-time job in Shimokitazawa, so going home will save me over an hour's travel time. It's almost no change for me."

It's nothing more than going to work early and returning late to going to work late and returning early.

He could still do the weekly commissions of the Service Club, and after returning to Roppongi, he no longer had to worry about water and power outages on rainy days.

But before that, he still had to deal with the matter with Nagasaki Suyo, that is, to apologize.

"Shimokitazawa?! Asaba-chan has to run so far every day... Then you should go home early."

Originally, Nagasaki Miyoko had not planned to force Ichinose Asaba to come back early, but when she heard that Ichinose Asaba had to go to Shimokitazawa to work after school, she changed her mind instantly.

I have to commute from Chiba to Shimokitazawa after school every day, and then come back after work... It's really too tiring, and if the train is delayed or late, it will take nearly two hours to get home.

If you calculate it this way, it would be better to go back to Roppongi. After all, it only takes half an hour at most to get to Shimokitazawa from Roppongi Hills, or about seventeen minutes if you are faster. Moreover, if Asaba Ichinose encounters any emergency during this period, she and Kozue can still help. If she gets off work early, she can even drive to Shimokitazawa to pick up Asaba.

No matter which of the above points, it is much better than Ichinose Asaba living alone in Chiba, and she can rest assured.

So, since Asaba Ichinose has decided to move back, let’s do it quickly!

"Well, I'll move back to Roppongi next month at the latest."

Seeing that Nagasaki Midoriko didn't say anything, Ichinose Asaba also gave a rough time. After all, it was not up to him to decide on this matter.

"But speaking of which, why did Asaba-chan go to Shimokitazawa to work? Is there any special reason?"

Ichinose Asaba shook his head. "It's simply because the salary is high, and the work is pretty easy."

"Xiao Qianyu...are you short of money?"

"what"

As soon as Nagasaki Miyoko said this, she felt a little regretful. After all, if Ichinose Asaba was not short of money, why would she go to work?

After all, she knew clearly that most of Ichinose Asaba's money was used to buy the flat in Roppongi.

As for the liquidated damages, to be honest, although she knew about it, she didn't care much about it. After all, 300,000 yuan in liquidated damages was just a small amount. Maybe the two-person band participated in some small commercial performance, or some small event, and was cheated, or violated the contract, so these were all minor issues.

After all, the amount is not large.

Also, she actually didn't know how much money Asaba Ichinose had in his personal stash, but with the inheritance left by his parents before they passed away, he could still buy a large flat in Roppongi.

After all, every time she wanted to give Ichinose Asaba living expenses, she was rejected. She thought he must have some spare money, but now, she was not sure.

Fortunately, she had always put the living expenses she gave to Ichinose Asaba on a card. Whether he wanted it or not, she had always deposited the money into the account every month. Now it seemed...it would finally come in handy.

Thinking of this, Nagasaki Miyoko slowly took out her wallet, and then took out the bank card from it.

"Hey... Xiao Qianyu, take it."

As she spoke, she pushed the bank card in front of Ichinose Asaba with her index finger.

"Miyo"

She even anticipated what Ichinose Asaba would say after seeing her do this, so she spoke first, "Asaba-chan doesn't have to use the money, but we're family, right? Faced with the concern of family, Asaba-chan will definitely choose to accept it, right?"

Knowing that what Asaba Ichinose values ​​most is feelings, this time she simply used an expression that Asaba Ichinose could not refuse.

As expected, upon hearing this, Ichinose Asaba hesitated.

"I"

He hesitated for a long time, looked at the bank card handed to him by Nagasaki Midoriko, and felt a little complicated for a moment.

He could tell that this was the card that Nagasaki Miyoko had always intended to give him, because Nagasaki Suyo also had a card with the same name as his wife, Sunayama Rei IV Hisaki III.

Should I refuse? But... after all, Miyoko said so. If he doesn't take it,

"Okay, I'll take it."

After much hesitation, Ichinose Asaba finally chose to accept the bank card.

"Yeah! That's right~"

Seeing this, Nagasaki Miyoko nodded with satisfaction.

If it weren't for the table between them making it inconvenient for her to get up, she would have wanted to touch Ichinose Asaba's head.

It has been so long since she saw such an obedient Xiao Qianyu.

However, it would be better if you could smile a little more.

"The barbecue is ready, eat more."

Looking at the Wagyu beef sizzling on the baking tray, Ichinose Asaba picked up a piece with chopsticks and put it into Nagasaki Miyoko's bowl.

"Mmm~ delicious!"

Nagasaki Miyoko didn't mind at all that Asaba Ichinose didn't use serving chopsticks. The moment the barbecue fell into her bowl, she picked it up and put it in her mouth.

For a moment, she actually felt a little guilty and felt very sorry for her lovely and sensible daughter.

If Xiao Sushi knew about this, she would definitely be jealous~

But speaking of Xiao Su Shi, I think she should also tell Xiao Qianyu some news.

So, after swallowing the barbecue in her mouth, she looked up at Ichinose Asaba, a smile on her lips, and said lightly, "Little Asaba, aren't you curious about how I knew you were studying at Sobu High School?"

"Hmm? Isn't that what Yukinoshita Haruno said?"

Asaba Ichinose, who was flipping the Wagyu beef, was stunned.

Then he saw... Nagasaki Miyoko shook her head.

"Not."

Nagasaki Miyoko was still smiling, and she imitated what Ichinose Asaba had just done and picked up a piece of barbecue and put it in his bowl.

"Then how did you know that, Midori?"

You know what, after hearing what Nagasaki Midori said, he actually became interested and asked with some curiosity.

"Did Xiao Qianyu lose his student ID?"
