Chapter 292 Maki's Emergency Inside a video game store in Shinjuku. Maki Miyazawa was sitting in the staff lounge, playing games angrily. It is not yet time for school to end in the afternoon, and there are very few customers in the store. It will only get busy after school in the afternoon and in the evening, so the store manager allows these employees to take the opportunity to slack off and play games. The reason for this, of course, is because the store manager herself also wants to play. She even called it a nice thing, saying that her actions were actually maintaining the game cartridges, which was an important job for their video game store employees! According to a colleague in the store, the store manager's sister was not such a person at the beginning, but there was a senior who worked here before and liked to play games secretly. The store manager's sister, who had a crush on him, finally joined the ranks of slacking off. It’s really strange, how could there be such an employee and store manager? By the way, what was the name of that senior? Miyazawa Maki thought about it and it seemed that her colleague had never told her the other person's name. So she quickly stopped worrying about it and turned to look at the female colleague next to her who was slacking off and browsing her phone.
"Miki, what are you looking at?" "Huh? He's the handsome pianist on YouTube. He's very popular recently." A female colleague named Hashimoto Miki casually lifted her hair and said, "Maki, are you angry?" "Why are you asking?" Miyazawa Maki was a little confused. "You've been playing this mechanical idiotic zombie-beating game since you got to the store this morning, right?" Miki Hashimoto put down her phone and said in surprise: "A normal person can tell at a glance that you are troubled." "Well" Miyazawa Maki's face turned red for no reason. She actually had some concerns, but not to the extent of being angry as the other party said. The main reason was that she didn't know how to face what Sawayama Haruno said to her yesterday, even though she said that she would wait until the other party had resolved Mana's issue before considering it. But when she woke up this morning, she regretted it so much that her stomach was growling. "for you." Miki Hashimoto seemed to see through her thoughts and picked up the potato chips next to her and threw them at her. When Miyazawa Maki was fed with snacks, her eyes lit up instantly, and she said happily: "Miki, how did you know I was hungry?" "Your stomach just growled." Miki Hashimoto sighed and said helplessly: "So, what is it that makes our little Princess Maki so entangled?" "Well, it's not a big deal." Maki Miyazawa, who had just opened the bag of potato chips, suddenly became a little embarrassed when she heard the other party's question. She was a little embarrassed to tell others these things, because even she felt very ashamed of herself.
Shame prevented her from speaking rashly, but after thinking for a moment, she seemed to remember something and asked curiously, "Um, Miki is engaged, right?" "Yeah, we're going to get married in the spring of next year, right?" Miki Hashimoto scratched her hair and said casually: "The family has met several times, and both sides are very satisfied. Although it feels a bit hasty, but if you think about it carefully, this kind of thing doesn't matter." "If you think about it carefully, it doesn't matter?" Miyazawa Maki grabbed a potato chip and stuffed it into her mouth, and said in confusion: "Why does Miki say it seems so unimportant?" "Isn't it something important?" Miki Hashimoto looked up in confusion. "Of course getting married is important, but when I think about the fact that I've been dating him for four or five years, I won't feel as excited as a young couple when it comes to getting married, right? And we both plan to keep it simple, maybe just invite some family members to come and attend." “Yes.” Miyazawa Maki muttered a few words. Miki Hashimoto and her boyfriend have known each other since junior high school, and it seems that they started dating in their third year of high school. Thinking about it this way, there is really no need for her to have any emotional ups and downs over such things. After all, the longer the time goes by, the more they feel like an old married couple? It's hard to feel excited when it comes to getting married. "What's wrong, Maki wants to get married too?" Miki Hashimoto stopped what she was doing and moved towards Miyazawa Maki's position curiously. "You talked about your boyfriend before, right? Is it because you talked about engagement and marriage but he rejected you, so you are in a bad mood now?" "That's not true." Miyazawa Maki took out a handful of potato chips and stuffed them into her mouth with some worry, muttering, "It's just the opposite. He told me about getting married and stuff like that." "Wouldn't that be nice?" Miki Hashimoto sat up straight immediately and said with a smile: "Maki, you said before that your boyfriend treats you very well, right? And it seems that you like him very much. You tell us about your boyfriend every day at work, right?" "Since he has proposed marriage, why not just agree to it. Even if he can't afford a decent wedding now, the worst that can happen is that he can make it up to you later." Miki Hashimoto added. Miki Hashimoto thought that the reason why Maki Miyazawa hesitated was because of Haruno Sawayama's poor financial situation. However, she felt that this problem was not that serious, and looking at Maki Miyazawa's appearance, it seemed that she did not have too many requirements in terms of financial requirements. But the truth is not that simple. Listening to the other party's persuasion, Miyazawa Maki became more worried. She ate more and more potato chips until her cheeks were bulging. Then she explained vaguely, "It's because of money." "Then why? Is Maki afraid of marriage? Or is someone in her family disagreeing?" Hashimoto Miki asked puzzled. These were the only reasons she could imagine. After all, Maki was always talking about her and her boyfriend. How could such a love-brained girl have any other reasons that prevented her from agreeing to her boyfriend's marriage proposal? Miyazawa Maki swallowed the potato chips with great effort. Just as she was about to explain it more clearly to the other party, she felt a strange feeling in her body the next moment. Her expression suddenly changed. "Maki?" "Wait, let's talk later."
Miyazawa Maki stood up with a grim face, turned around and ran out of the staff lounge. "Hey, where are you going?" Seeing her running away in panic, Miki Hashimoto followed her subconsciously. Seeing the other party rushing into the bathroom, she thought that the potato chips she had just eaten had upset Maki's stomach. However, before she could open her mouth, she heard bursts of retching sounds coming from inside. "Maki, are you okay?!" Miki Hashimoto was immediately frightened and quickly followed him into the bathroom. When she saw Miyazawa Maki lying on the sink in pain, looking like she wanted to vomit but couldn't, she suddenly became anxious. "Are you feeling unwell? Do you need to go to the hospital?" "wait wait wait" Maki Miyazawa waved her hand tiredly, politely declining Miki Hashimoto's kindness. However, the next moment, a more intense nausea came over her, and her face turned extremely pale in an instant. "Well, let's go to the hospital." Miki Hashimoto stood up in a panic and shouted loudly to another colleague who was on duty at the front desk. When the two saw that Miyazawa Maki was about to vomit, they immediately decided to close the video game store temporarily. The colleague on duty at the front desk reacted the fastest. He ran out to hail a taxi and took out his mobile phone to report the situation to the store manager. Miki Hashimoto helped Maki Miyazawa, who was retching continuously, into the car, and the three of them drove straight to the nearest hospital. At the same time, in a high-end apartment building in Shinjuku District. Sawayama Haruno had just finished his shower and came out of the bathroom. When he saw Ezaki Suguha, who had already tidied up the house, he said apologetically, "Didn't you say you would wait for me to come out and clean up?" "Because I have my share, and isn't it normal for the person who finishes washing first to come out and clean up?" Ezaki Suguha tied the garbage bags into a beautiful bow, smiled at Sawayama Haruno and said, "Can I help you out sometimes?" Sawayama Haruno followed suit with a smile, but before he could say anything, the cell phone on the table rang. "Wait a mininute." Sawayama Haruno scratched his still wet hair, walked over to pick up the phone, and said "Huh" in confusion. "Who's calling?" Seeing that his expression looked a little strange, Ezaki Suguha asked subconsciously. "The store manager sister where I used to work part-time is now Maki's manager. Maybe she's in trouble. Let me pick up the phone and listen." Sawayama Haruno whispered. It has been a while since I last spoke to him. The last time I called him was to ask for leave for Maki. After all, Maki was too tired to get out of bed that morning. As the culprit who made her so tired, Sawayama Haruno also consciously took on the role of helping her ask for leave. But this time, why did the other party call? "Hello, is this the store manager?" Sawayama Haruno answered the phone without thinking, but the anxious words coming from the other end made his face change slightly.
"really?" His anxious voice attracted the attention of Suguha Ezaki who was still cleaning up nearby. The tall girl looked over blankly, but all she saw was Sawayama Haruno's slightly panicked face. Did something happen? Ezaki Suguha was slightly stunned. It was the first time she saw Sawayama Haruno with such an expression. However, before she could think more, Sawayama Haruno said, "Yes, yes, I understand," and turned his head to give her a look. As a tacit boyfriend and girlfriend, Ezaki Naoha immediately understood what the other party meant and went to the room silently to change into clothes suitable for going out. By the time she hurried out, Sawayama Haruno was already ready. After putting on their shoes, the two of them hurried downstairs. (End of this chapter)
