Chapter 429 Massage, I am a professional

A day is actually very long.

If you do nothing, you will feel bored.

But if you are dating, it is another matter.

Whether you are a man or a woman, dating with the opposite sex you like is the most interesting thing.

After lunch, Kurosawa Hikaru took Miki Shiraha to play the escape room.

This is the experience he has accumulated from many dates. Even if there is no task, he has realized a truth.

When dating a girl, there must be a special event to make it easier to leave memories.

Just going to the movies together, although holding hands is also a good experience, it is not enough.

Neon horror movies are famous in Asia, thanks to Neon's cultural atmosphere.

"Shiraha, are you afraid of ghosts?"

When he came to a building, Kurosawa Hikaru found the location of the online guide, looked up at the building, and turned around to ask.

"Not afraid... I am afraid, ghosts are so scary."

Miki Shiraha shook her head, but she soon regretted it.

The escape room can actually be understood as a haunted house, but there are more themes, not all of them are scary.

Although she had never played it before, she knew that boys and girls watched horror movies together, the purpose was to make girls feel scared and seek protection when facing danger.

"Go and try it."

Kurosawa Hikaru saw her poor acting skills and shook his head and laughed.

Baiyu's personality is very special. She can see her true heart and has a strong ability of self-awareness.

Such people should not be afraid of going to a haunted house, unless they really encounter a ghost.

Judging from her reaction just now, she should be the type who watches horror movies and comments on the makeup and appearance of the person playing the ghost, and thinks about the background story.

When escaping from the secret room, a small accident happened.

The atmosphere of the scene is too strong, the pursuit of the NPC is very scary, and the design of the mechanism, Kurosawa Hikaru and Miki Baiyu were forcibly separated during the decryption process.

Separately, Kurosawa Hikaru tried his best to find her, and soon he cleared the level.

The power brought to him by boxing, leg techniques, archery, and various skills gave him unparalleled confidence. He was not afraid of NPCs and decrypted them when he needed to.

However, after he got through the secret room and walked out, Kurosawa Hikaru didn't see Miki Baiyu.

Because during the escape room, players are asked to put personal belongings, such as mobile phones, in lockers, and there is no way to contact them by phone.

In desperation, he could only find the staff and explain that his companion was missing.

"Your companion may be hiding in the area between A3 and A5. Please don't worry. I will send someone to find him immediately."

However, the staff did not find anyone after checking the surveillance. Only during the playback process, they found the last place where Miki Baiyu appeared.

Although the equipment of the escape room is very complete, with various surveillance to ensure the player's gaming experience, it has not been able to achieve full coverage, and there are some blind spots.

"I'll go with you."

Discovering this situation, Kurosawa Hikaru naturally couldn't wait in place, and set off with the NPC.

If he guessed correctly, Miki Baiyu should have been scared and found a place to hide.

If the NPC went to find her, it might cause her to not dare to speak and hide and refuse to come out.

It has to be said that the efficiency of following the NPC is fast. There is no need to decrypt, and it arrived at the A3 area in a blink of an eye.

"This design is quite sinister."

Returning to the place where he separated from Miki Baiyu, Kurosawa Mitsuru glanced at the door next to him, feeling a little resentful.

This door, seemingly a normal door, actually has a mechanism. If they are not holding hands or are completely close together, the mechanism will be activated in just two steps, automatically locking the door and forcibly dividing the group of players into two groups.

Originally, he and Miki Baiyu should have experienced the whole process happily, but they were forced to separate.

"This is for the sense of tension...According to the normal process, as long as the two groups of people act on their own routes, they can meet within 20 minutes." The NPC heard his complaint and smiled.

He had no choice, this was what the higher-ups meant...In theory, this is a very good design, which is conducive to extending the player's playing time, and forced separation is an extremely terrifying and exciting experience.

"Let's go, continue looking for people."

Kurosawa Mitsuru looked back at him, not blaming him.

"According to my work experience, the guest's companion should be hiding, and it happens to be hidden in the blind spot of the surveillance, just in the next corridor. If you can, call her name later, and I will not make any noise."

The NPC nodded, led the way and walked in front, explaining.

The NPC was wearing an isolation suit, and the shoes on his feet would make obvious noises when walking.

As an NPC, if he made a sound, he might scare the player.

Kurosawa Hikaru followed his footsteps and walked in the corridor with scarlet lights and bloody handprints on the wall.

The environment in the corridor was very quiet, gloomy and terrifying.

In a blink of an eye, he arrived at the next corridor... The layout of the environment did not change at all, just like a maze, with very little difference.

This is a visual hint, which can also be understood as a ghost wall. Once a person cannot distinguish the road, he will easily fall into fear.

Seeing the scenery of this corridor, Kurosawa Hikaru immediately understood.

Bai Yu is not afraid of ghosts, but she is a road idiot. She knows that she will get lost, so when she encounters this situation, she is probably scared.

Based on past experience, Bai Yu would use his mobile phone to open the navigation once he got lost. However, in the escape room, the official asked him to put his mobile phone away and put it in the locker.

I don't have a mobile phone, I'm a road addict, and I have to face the maze alone... The best way is to wait where I am.

However, the NPC in the escape room would not allow her to stay where she was, and would make pursuing sounds and movements, which forced her to take action.

After figuring out the reason for Miki Baiha's disappearance, Kurosawa Hikaru wanted to speak.

But before he could speak, he vaguely heard some movement due to his keen hearing.

The source of the sound was not far away, in a collapsed and chaotic area.

There were a lot of clutter there, messy and messy. Among them was a box with bloody fingerprints on the surface... This box was quite small.

Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible to hide people in such a box.

Looking at the box, Kurosawa Hikaru felt happy, and then continued walking without making a sound.

"It's difficult. She's only less than 1.5 meters tall. How can she be found if she's so small and hidden?"

Soon, following the NPC to the debris pile, Kurosawa Hikaru said worriedly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a sentence rang out from the box at his feet:

"I'm 1.6 meters tall!"

The next moment, the lid of the box was pushed open by a hand.

"!"

This sudden movement made the NPC tremble in fright.

Because this small box is used for setting the scene and has never been used for players to hide.

"found it."

Kurosawa Hikaru had already heard her slight movement, saw that the box had indeed moved, and walked forward.

I saw Miki Baiyu curled up and squatting inside with her legs crossed. Such a small box, with her amazing softness, actually contained her inside.

"Senior, I'm really 1.6 meters tall, not less than 1.5 meters tall."

Miki Baiyu got out of the box, stood up, and said seriously.

Although she is not tall, she is not short among girls.

As a figure skater, she is very satisfied with her height.

Because there is no height requirement for figure skating, if you are too tall, the weight of your body will inevitably increase, which will make it more difficult to perform some difficult movements, and the impact force on your knees will be higher with each jump.

"I know, I just want to tease you and make a joke with you."

Kurosawa Hikaru saw her standing up and showing no signs of discomfort, so he nodded reassuringly.

Her expression was normal. It seemed that this girl was not afraid of ghosts or NPCs. She was just worried that she would get lost and get separated, so she would wait for him to find her.

Come to think of it, if he had shouted just now, Miki Baiyu would have come out.

As for the NPC's voice, she will definitely not respond.

"Senior, why are you with the NPC?"

At the same time, Miki Baiyu also discovered the NPC beside him and couldn't help being surprised.

"Because I have cleared customs but didn't see you outside, so I had to ask the staff to take me to find someone."

Speaking of this matter, Kurosawa Hikaru was a little helpless.

Originally, he thought that a lot of interesting things would happen if he and Miki Baiyu broke into the horror chamber together, but it turned out that the horror theme they chose had a forced separation.

After settling this matter, they followed the NPC and left the scene.

The billing method for escape rooms is different from that of haunted houses in amusement parks. Haunted houses charge tickets, but escape rooms are timed, such as 1,000 yen for 10 minutes, which is very expensive.

"The surveillance cameras can't find you. It seems you're pretty good at hide-and-seek."

Riding the elevator downstairs, Kurosawa Hikaru looked at Miki Shiroha next to him and couldn't help but sigh.

This girl has thin arms and legs, and is extremely soft... She can get into such a small box, and even hide in the blind spot of the surveillance without knowing it.

It's normal to think about it. The areas responsible for surveillance are mainly corners and player hiding areas. Who would have thought that she could be so outrageous and be able to get into such a small box. Those are not normal hiding places.

"No, I rarely play this..."

Miki Baiyu faced his appraising gaze, feeling a little proud because he was staring at her, but she also lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Senior, where are we going now?"

Walking on the streets of Shibuya again, Miki Baiha looked at the dazzling array of shops and looked forward to where he would go next.

"Where do you usually buy skates?"

Kurosawa Hikaru thought for a while and asked.

"Senior, you don't have to accompany me where I want to go..."

Miki Baiyu heard about skating and shook his head.

"I want to buy a pair of skates, but I can't wear rented shoes all the time. I want you to accompany me to choose a pair."

Kurosawa Hikaru knew that she had misunderstood and explained.

"OK."

After hearing this legitimate reason, Miki Baiyu immediately became energetic.

"Let's go."

Seeing that she was happy, Kurosawa nodded with satisfaction.

No matter how interesting other things are, for this school girl, the thing that interests her the most is everything related to skating.

Not long after, Kurosawa Hikaru followed Miki Shiroha to the store she usually frequented.

"Miss Miki, welcome. What do you need to buy today?"

The clerks in this store will recognize Miki Baiyu when they see her and greet her warmly.

"Ms. Akasaka, I would like to buy a pair of men's skates."

Miki Baiha has a very familiar relationship with the store clerk.

Although custom-made skates are best, universal models are also very nice and practical.

"Boy friend?"

The female clerk named Akasaka glanced at Kurosawa Hikaru and was immediately shocked by his appearance. She leaned forward and asked softly.

"Uh-huh."

Miki Baiyu stole a glance at Kurosawa Hikaru beside him and nodded.

Our relationship should be considered as boyfriend and girlfriend, right?

"He's so handsome. Is he also a figure skater? Why haven't I heard of him before?"

The female clerk was shocked and extremely curious when she received her affirmation.

Miki, who used to devote himself wholeheartedly to figure skating, is now old enough to fall in love.

Having said that, she didn't feel sad, but was very optimistic about this relationship.

Because this boyfriend looks very handsome and elegant. You can tell by his appearance that he is not a bad guy. He is a handsome man and a beautiful woman.

"He has just started learning, but he has learned skating before and has a very strong foundation."

Seeing her excited reaction, Miki Baiyu was very happy.

Just like a boy who brings his super-beautiful girlfriend to meet his brother, and when faced with everyone's reaction, his vanity will be satisfied, the girl feels the same way when she brings her handsome boyfriend to meet her friends.

What's more, that feeling is even more satisfying... because neon beauties are common, but handsome men are rare.

After all, neon girls learn to put on makeup since elementary school, and many girls regard make-up as a kind of etiquette.

In comparison, most boys are slovenly, barbershops are expensive, and handsome guys are really rare.

"I'm Hikaru Kurosawa. It's our first time meeting you. Please take care of me."

Feeling that the tone of Miki Baiha's words was a little higher, and he was obviously very happy, Kurosawa Hikaru also opened his mouth at the right time, stretched out his hand and spoke enthusiastically.

"I am Akasaka Shiho, please take care of me."

When Akasaka Shiho saw him extending his hand, he felt flattered and immediately shook hands with him.

Maybe because she has a lot of experience as a store clerk and is used to meeting all kinds of people, she has an intuition that the identity of player Miki's boyfriend is definitely not simple.

Because a person's temperament and conversation can express many things.

After a simple greeting, Akasaka Shiho led them into the store and towards the men's skates area. As he walked, he asked:

"What kind of skate shoes do you want to choose? Do you have a favorite brand?"

"Ask her opinion. She knows more about figure skating. Let her help me choose."

Kurosawa Hikaru glanced at Miki Shirayu beside him and handed her the responsibility.

The night was getting late, and after dinner, at around 8 o'clock, Kurosawa Hikaru sent Miki Shiraha on his way home.

He still adheres to the previous dating principles. When the date ends, it must not be in public places such as subway stations or trams.

"I had so much fun today."

Walking hand in hand, Miki Baiyu looked at the familiar road home and was in a good mood.

Although every time she goes to the skating rink, she always has a full experience and is never disappointed, but the same goes for dating Kurosawa-senpai.

After today's date, she has completely confirmed it. Even if her senior doesn't go to the skating rink with her, she will still be happy.

What she likes is not the senior who goes to the skating rink with her; she likes the senior.

"yes."

Kurosawa held the bag in one hand and held her hand with the other. Seeing her satisfied look, he felt a sense of accomplishment.

Even without the guidance of the mission, Miki Baiyu was still very satisfied with dating him. For him, this was like his self-worth being recognized.

Today's date is very simple, there are no special arrangements, it's like something ordinary couples would do.

After that, the two of them didn't speak anymore, they just walked slowly hand in hand.

The surroundings were not quiet, there were many pedestrians, but the feeling of holding hands made them feel each other's presence very clearly.

"How should I say goodbye tonight?"

Kurosawa Hikaru looked at the surrounding environment, and then glanced at Miki Shiroha next to him.

Maybe it's because of the height difference, maybe she's too thin, or maybe her face looks a bit childish. Although she's about the same height as Yuki Ichinose, Shiroha looks very small, which makes people feel relaxed. It feels like you can hold it up.

In fact, the process of dating is not particularly important, the key is the beginning and the end.

The strongest impression on a date depends on physical contact or progress in the relationship.

For example, the date on X, month, X, year X, the first time holding hands, kissing, hugging, etc., should be done step by step.

However, even if Kurosawa Hikaru knows how to do it, what to do is a question worth pondering.

In the morning, he saw Miki Baiha buying Okamoto 001.

Although this incident, he could understand that Bai Yu was mentally prepared to stay in a room with him for the night.

But maybe due to the influence of the appointment task, he attaches great importance to reasons.

For example, at the beach, he can use the excuse of applying sunscreen to help little Yuki apply it well.

For example, in the dojo, he can use the reason that he doesn't know how to tie a belt to ask the future to tie it for him.

In the current situation, if he suddenly said that he wanted to rent a house, it would be too cheap for him to think about that kind of thing.

Reasons are important for both men and women.

Boys don't want to be seen as too impatient, and girls don't want to be seen as too casual, so there must be a suitable reason.

To be honest, he didn't know what he wanted to achieve in this date.

They held hands and kissed last time, so what should he do this time?

If he really said that he didn't want to do that kind of thing with Miki Baiyu, that was impossible. With such a beautiful girlfriend, any normal man would want to do it, but he felt that the time was not right yet.

At this time, Miki Baiyu spoke first:

"Senior, I will go home and soak my feet later... Actually, I don't know what temperature is suitable, can you help me check it?"

Kurosawa Hikaru glanced at her and found that she was a little shy and embarrassed. Obviously, she mustered up the courage to invite him.

This reason is actually quite bad... Because the temperature of soaking feet varies from person to person, as long as you don't get burned, it's fine. This statement is almost as clear as asking if you want to sit at my house for a while.

"Okay, you've been walking all day, maybe your knees are uncomfortable, I'll take a look at it for you? I'm a professional at massage."

Realizing this, Kurosawa Hikaru nodded without hesitation.

His girlfriend had the courage to invite him, if he didn't know what was going on, he would be too unromantic

It was obvious that Miki Baiyu wanted to stay with him for a while longer, and so did he.
