บท 717: After the Interview Comes the Official Date
"..."
Miku didn't miss that peculiar pause; her eyes fixed straight ahead.
"What's the most important thing?"
Shinichi turned his face and responded.
"It's the mentality of wearing clothes. People often say that love comes from the heart. Even if you wear luxurious clothes, if you have malicious intentions, or your mindset is weak or in a bad condition, it's not pleasant to look at."
"Seems like you, Miku, are quite spirited today. That's nice."
"Gu~"
Miku puffed her cheeks and continued to stare at him, speaking discontentedly.
"You just praised me honestly, but it's fine if you finish this sentence. Shinichi can be quite cruel when escaping!"
Shinichi avoided her gaze.
"Nevertheless, you'd still be embarrassed if you had to be embarrassed."
"I didn't ask you to confess."
"Isn't this like a confession then?"
"If you dared to say it on Wednesday, why don't you dare now? You've said so many embarrassing things in the past; isn't it time to let go of that useless shame?"
Shinichi took a deep breath. "...Miku, when did you become so good at talking?"
Miku smiled proudly.
"Like I said, I've developed!"
Her eyes couldn't help but glance at the ample chest beneath the coat. Shinichi nodded casually.
"Maybe that's true... Okay, I said it."
"It doesn't matter what I wear; the important thing is that you're by my side."
"..."
Miku stared at him with deep eyes.
"It's like a dead fish, completely emotionless."
"Okay, stop complaining."
Shinichi didn't care how dissatisfied she was. After finishing the conversation, he shrugged his shoulders and walked towards the station.
"Let's go before the train stops!"
△
After getting off the station, they both gazed at the tall commercial buildings in front of them.
The crowd seemed to rush like a torrent, and fast-paced steps and indifference seemed to be the atmospheric pressure here. Everyone was used to moving and working tirelessly in this narrow city, busy and numb like worker ants underground.
Only a young man and a girl standing empty at the station entrance were the most conspicuous, but no one cared to look at them for more than three seconds.
Miku frowned, feeling a bit uncomfortable.
"Shinichi, are you sure you want to look for a job here..."
"Yeah, scary, right? The social rhythm like this," Shinichi nodded in agreement, taking out a stack of resumes from the office worker's bag and flipping through them.
Looking closer, his fingers holding the paper were also slightly shaky.
"Actually, I feel it deeply now. The pressure is so great that I can't believe it."
Shinichi smiled bitterly.
"Thoughts like 'What am I doing?' and 'Let's go back and do simple and easy part-time jobs' keep popping up. If I don't try hard to control them, my legs will go back to the station. As a result, I can't move anymore out of embarrassment."
Miku looked down and glanced at Shinichi's legs.
"In that case, let's go back?" She pulled Shinichi's sleeve impatiently.
"We're still high school student. No need to force ourselves to work in a place like this like adults. Wouldn't it be better to be waiters? And in that case, I can be with Shinichi too."
"Sorry, it's a shame if I run away now."
Shinichi patted the cold hand on his sleeve, and stepped forward.
"Investment, life insurance, new ventures... Early exposure to these industries will be helpful in the future."
Miku looked at him in disbelief. "Big companies like that won't hire high school students, right?"
"Well, if high school students without professional knowledge come to look for part-time jobs, even the most basic positions in a company won't be refused, as long as the company isn't short of people, and even permanent employees have to do those jobs."
Shinichi shrugged stiffly, and his expression slowly relaxed.
"However, opportunities are created by yourself. If you don't ask, you won't get anything... If you don't ask first, how do you know if you'll get it? Besides, I'm mentally prepared to hit many walls, so I can do it!"
"I see..."
Miku lowered her head, unaffected by his seemingly confident and enthusiastic atmosphere.
Shinichi couldn't see her expression.
"...Sorry, I said it seriously. At the exchange meeting, I got to know the HR representatives of some companies, and the actual acceptance rate is quite high."
To reassure Miku, Shinichi admitted his mistake, took out his phone, opened the address book, and placed it in front of her lower gaze.
"Unfortunately, I failed to be cool. I really don't fit the hot-blooded guy image..."
Moreover, he was still used to making decisions before taking action, so of course, he would be nervous, but as long as he could adapt to the atmosphere here and prepare well in advance, he wouldn't step back.
Facing the silent Miku, Shinichi scratched the back of his head.
"Okay, the interview will be over soon. Allow me to take you to a fast-food restaurant first. Wait there, and I'll give you the details after the interview."
"...Um, I understand."
Miku nodded and answered gently.
Whatever her feelings were now, and of course, Shinichi didn't know how to comfort her.
Shinichi opened the map on his phone and started looking for the nearest fast-food restaurant to the interview location.
After that, Shinichi who didn't say much and showed no expression all the way, took Miku to the fast-food restaurant. After ordering food and helping her carry fries and black tea to the table, Shinichi was ready for the interview.
Before leaving, Miku finally took the initiative to speak.
"Shinichi, will you become great in the future?"
"..."
Shinichi was silent for a moment and answered with a smile.
"Yes, I will."
"Why?"
"Because I have a dream that I must fulfill."
"..."
Miku stared at him silently, and he didn't run away.
After staring at each other for a few seconds, Miku closed her eyes.
"...It takes a lot of effort to get closer to Shinichi."
"I thought that after I grew up, I could finally seize Shinichi Daimyo's castle in a fair and honest way..."
She murmured to herself and sighed.
"The result is still not enough..."
"Same goes for Shinichi, as well as Ichika and the others. Everyone is moving forward, and no one will stop. It's just that I haven't done enough."
Her soft voice rose and fell, and her fists clenched in her long skirt.
"Someday, will I not be able to see Shinichi's back..."
Not wanting this.
Miku shook her head and said in her heart, and her shoulders trembled slightly.
Shinichi seemed to be ignored, opened his mouth, but it turned out he had nothing to say.
But at least, like yesterday, express his feelings with actions...
So Shinichi raised his hand and reached out to Miku.
The next moment.
"But, even so."
His voice mixed with determination, causing his unfinished movement to stop in the air.
"Now, there's one thing I can definitely do."
Miku lifted her gaze and stared straight at him.
"Shinichi, cheer up!"
"I will support you here, and you must let people in big companies see how great you are."
"If I get accepted, let's have barbecue for lunch. I'll treat you!"
"It doesn't matter if you're not accepted. I can lend you my shoulder to cry on... Although you might not need it."
"Ah, don't worry, this isn't a FLAG, right?"
Miku smiled and said softly.
"I just want to trust the person I like."
"I'll watch closely from behind, and please work hard from the front, Shinichi."
While placing her hand right above her knee, Miku bowed, revealing ears tinted with red.
"I hope you're lucky in your job and be careful on the road."
Like a small wife escorting her husband at the entrance, she lowered her head for a while and then slowly straightened her stiff body.
After that, Miku quickly hid her entire head inside her coat and suppressed the sound of a strange whimper.
"After doing it, I realized how embarrassing it is... Even though it's a dream come true, doing it in public is a bit... Clearly, we haven't even dated yet..."
"..."
Shinichi looked at the very shy Miku, then nodded with a smile.
"Okay, I'm going. Wait for me to come back."
With their mutual confidence, he turned around and walked out. His steps were very stable, and his smile never left the corner of his mouth.
And the result, of course, was only one.
