Can't You Skip Dating? / Can't You Just Like the Body?

"……Um?"

After hearing that thank you, Ogihara finally turned his face and looked at Sorata carefully.

The gaze that seemed to see through the soul made Sorata shudder uncontrollably: "I...Did I say something wrong?"

"Well, I didn't pretend to be stupid, I didn't twist, I wasn't hypocritical, I really didn't know, and I didn't do anything worthless..."

Ogihara Akira looked at Sorata's eyes while recalling the plot. After a long while, he retracted his gaze and dropped a meaningful sentence.

"Hey, it's boring."

Sorata didn't know what the meaningless phrase was referring to.

I just vaguely felt that if Ogihara Akira was interested, he might be finished...

Chapter 46 You have to be a mature maid

The gloomy sky finally started to rain.

Ogihara Akira returned to the car, and Sorata and Mashiro went to the nearby convenience store.

From the window, Sorata picked up a manga and said something to Mashiro, but Mashiro kept staring at the seiyuu office, where Nanami was.

If Akira Ogihara remembers correctly, the day of the Nanami seiyuu presentation was also the day of the release of Shinshiro's manga. The one that Sorata held in his hand should have been, but at this time Shinshiro has been immersed in the guilt that he caused Nanami to be exhausted. , I can't even feel the joy of the release of my own manga.

For this conscience, Ogihara Ming still appreciates it very much, otherwise even if the root cause of Nanami's problems is not her, no matter how cute she looks, Ogihara Ming will have to slap her.

After all, Nanami was the first girl Ogihara saw and had the thought of "Ah, I want it".

It is not only the type that Ogihara Ming admires and loves the most, but also can meet his life needs of being lonely and cold in his empty nest recently, and he doesn't want to eat takeaway. The two happiness together can bring more happiness.

What he got should be a happy time when he was taken care of by a caring maid.

So, even if you spend a little more money and thought, Ogihara Ming thinks it's worth it.

Time flowed quietly in the rain. Although he was a little sleepy because he woke up too early, Akira Ogihara still didn't sleep. From time to time, he glanced at the seiyuu office, and when he noticed someone came out, he got out of the car with an umbrella.

Walking to the door, Nanami just walked out of the office with his head down.

Sorata also ran over with an umbrella from the convenience store, and was about to call someone when a girl suddenly rushed out from behind Nanami and stopped her with an angry voice.

"Wait! Nanami! Do you know how much trouble you've caused everyone!"

Qi Hai stopped, his face was hidden in the shadow of the bangs, and he couldn't see his expression clearly. There was only one sentence that seemed to be calm: "Sorry."

"I knew this earlier! You might as well be at home..."

The girl didn't finish her second sentence, because Ogihara Akira had already walked up to Nanami, put up an umbrella for her, and glanced at the girl by the way.

That kind of strange look that was clearly looking at him calmly, but there seemed to be no one in his eyes, scared the girl back with the rest of the words, and ran into the rain with a look of resentment.

Only then did Ogihara take back his gaze and looked at Nanami who lowered his head: "Failed?"

"...Well, in the end, I didn't hold back."

Nanami's voice was a little hoarse.

"Do you feel that the efforts so far have become meaningless."

"……Yes."

"Remember, that's what failure tastes like, remember it, face it, and leap over it."

With a gentle smile, Ogihara lightly flicked Nanami's forehead.

"However, I have to correct a mistake. Your efforts are definitely not meaningless. The results and knowledge gained from practicing day and night will never betray you. You have become stronger."

"Overcoming this setback called failure, you will continue to be strong until nothing can stop you."

Nanami slowly raised his head.

Her originally dark eyes were brightened little by little, and the depths of her pupils seemed to ignite a fire that would never go out.

The next moment, her body softened and she fell down.

Ogihara supported her with her eyes and hands quickly, preventing her from falling to the ground with her face, and she was a little stunned. In the original book, Qihai didn't collapse at the door, but now, not only did she get off work early yesterday to rest, she also drank sports drinks today, why did it pass? Woolen cloth?

"Seven seas, burnt out."

A small voice spoke the truth.

So Ogihara knew what the problem was.

"Shouldn't I... shouldn't add a fire at a time like this?"

……

You should pay attention to the degree of everything. No matter how good chicken soup is, if you drink too much, it will make people suffer. This is the so-called overdoing it.

And constantly igniting the fighting spirit can also burn people out, especially when the brain temperature is already high.

So after returning to Sakura Village, Nanami slept in a daze until the next morning.

It is worth mentioning that Mashiro also stayed by the bed from the beginning, until the next morning, and then fell asleep.

After another day off, at noon on the third day, Nanami rang the doorbell of Ogihara Akira's house.

As a maid who came to join the job, not a maid who was annoying, Nanami obviously would not barge in without obedience, so she waited at the door for Ogihara Akira, who came out to pick her up.

"Are you sure you've come to rest?" Ogihara asked, looking at Nanami, whose complexion was finally normal.

"Yes! It's completely fine. In fact, I could have come over yesterday!"

After waking up yesterday morning, Nanami, whose fever subsided, wanted to return to work, but was asked by Akira Ogihara to take another day off to deal with the previous part-time job. Having said that, the so-called treatment was just a few phone calls. Nested in Sakura Village for a good rest for a day.

The only problem was that when she said that she was going to work in Ogihara Akira's house in the future, she always felt that the other people in Sakura Village looked at her a little strangely.

It is probably the kind of inexplicable "gratification" and "relief".

Oh, and the teacher who bit a handkerchief inexplicably.

"It seems that you are not in the shadow of failure." Ogihara said with satisfaction, "Have you cried well?"

This feeling of being completely seen through, once again made Qihai bow his head in embarrassment, and whispered: "Yes... yes."

"Come on then, on the first day of work, you may have to buy a lot of things, and you may be a little busy."

Ogihara Ming took Qi Hai through the lush yard, and handed her a key: "I don't have any rules here, there is only one. When passing the yard, or whenever you enter the yard, you must bring the house key."

"Huh? Why?" Nanami really didn't understand such a request.

"Because I have some weird bugs in the yard that would be attacked without the special smell on this key."

"Alas!!"

Nanami looked around in fright. The yard, which was originally very interesting, suddenly became gloomy and terrifying in her eyes.

It's not that Ogihara Akira wanted to scare her, but that when a person truly recognizes the backside of the world and believes in the existence of the backside of the world, it means stepping into the backside.

To put it in a simple way, that is, if a person knows that there are ghosts in the world, the probability of hitting ghosts will greatly increase.

This is the trouble with idealism.

So Ogihara Ming didn't take her to see the world, but used this method to fool the past. Anyway, the warning effect should be enough, maybe it is stronger than "you will get lost without a key".

"This is a window net to prevent cats from running out. I'm a domestic party, and you must remember to close the door when you go in and out."

In order to prevent further scaring Nanami, Akira Ogihara explained his cage-like house in advance, and then opened the door.

"As I said before, your main job is cooking and cleaning, oh yes... plus shoveling cat litter and bathing the cat once a month, now you can look around and list what you need for the job Purchase orders, such as kitchenware and ingredients.”

Qi Hai nodded and looked at the living room cautiously. Although he was allowed to go to someone else's house for the first time, he couldn't leave it so open.

Ogihara Ming felt that she had to change her mind.

"Everywhere here is where you will be responsible for cleaning and tidying up in the future, so don't feel rude or guilty of snooping, remember, you are now familiar with the work environment, the more carefully you look, the better, it is best to keep all drawers Look at the closet."

"You know, my personal belongings are also within your organization, as long as they don't put them where I can't find them."

Hearing these words, Qi Hai immediately let go, her eyes changed from being embarrassed to looking too much into a scrutiny, and she even had the mood to tease the cat. After all, bathing the cat is also her job scope. The job becomes extremely difficult.

I have to say that compared to Shiyu of Kasumigaoka, Nanami is obviously much more professional with cats. Without Akira Ogihara's guidance, he quickly touched the soft fur on Dahei's body.

Watching Nanami walk into the kitchen, Ogihara Akira suddenly felt a sense of joy when he did a good deed.

No, it's not that he'll get spiritual satisfaction from this sort of thing, but a sense that leans toward the occult.

Mainly when he plucks the wool of a big family and donates half of the proceeds.

Ogihara Ming opened the system menu with a weird look, and saw that the golden merit bar was surging slightly like a wave.

This is a fluctuation that represents "up". Although it is an increase that cannot be seen at all, it is really rising.

As I said before, it is still quite difficult to obtain merit. Since the initial death experiment went up a little bit, and found that charity can increase merit, Ogihara donated for three full years, and the amount is half of the income. Considering With his current savings of hundreds of millions, his house and car, and his expenses in the past three years, this donation can never be said to be small.

However, his merit bar is only as long as a finger.

This is because he personally confirms the places where donations are needed, and donates them directly to the people who need them, without going through an intermediary third party - he doesn't want to donate money that can increase one hundred merits, and it ends up increasing by ten , did not even rise at all.

Of course, this is just a metaphor, after all merit has no actual value.

The fact that he successfully kidnapped a high school girl to be a maid was not considered a merit. After thinking about it, Ogihara could only think of the phrase "God rewards hard work" that he used to fool Qi Hai.

So, is this wave really acting for the sky?

Ogihara Akira's mood was so wonderful that it was indescribable, and when he looked at Nankai again, he seemed to see a walking machine of infinite merit.

"Um... Mr. Ogihara, your kitchen is too clean, haven't you cooked your own meals, and the laundry to be washed is also piled up there, although not many... How did you live before?"

After turning around upstairs and downstairs, Nanami was confused and even complained with some anger.

If it wasn't for Ogihara Akira being an adult and the house was fairly tidy, she almost thought she had encountered another Mashiro who was incapable of taking care of herself.

Di Yuanming spread his hands and said to the infinite merit machine: "Takeaway, housekeeping."

"How... how can you do that? Didn't you stand on your own?"

"It's because I had to do everything myself before, which was annoying, so I didn't want to do everything myself after I had money."

Ogihara Akira explained a sentence, and said it like a repentance.

"I also don't think this is the way to go, so why don't I hire you?"

These words put all Nanami's dissatisfaction with Ogihara Akira's lazy life back.
