Is Chapter 40 about someone with intellectual disabilities?
Ok……
Yukino's spending habits have never been high.
Previously, I would come once a month on average, with a fixed expenditure of 16,000 yen.
It looks like this is around payday.
Based on our initial impressions, she was likely venting all the pent-up frustrations from her life and work on this one day.
But after meeting me, I immediately added 50,000 yen to my card account that same day, and came back a second time not long after.
This has disrupted her life rhythm.
I haven't been here for the past two days, probably because I'm short of money.
For a store, generating sales is undoubtedly a good thing.
However, Nakajima Hiroshi felt unwell.
After all, this expense would definitely be a burden for her. Although it was a matter of mutual consent, he still felt it was inappropriate.
In addition, people always need a place to release their stress.
If she doesn't vent her negative emotions in the shop, they will inevitably flow elsewhere...
Taking it out on colleagues? Staying home and drinking alone, or dumping your trash on that daughter you've never even met?
For Hiroshi Nakajima, this is truly an industry prone to contradictions.
He could easily rip off rich women, but he couldn't bring himself to do it to either Yukino, a poor girl, or Mizuki, who was practically a friend.
It's definitely time to get the firm up and running; that's the real priority.
Let me see...
The remaining customers are mostly silent clients, which are numerous and take the most time.
However, it's not bad to do this kind of brainless work occasionally.
The time taken was entirely within expectations, about three hours. The items were neatly stacked into two piles according to the amount spent.
Seeing that Misaki Tachibana was still asleep, Hiroshi Nakajima quietly left the office.
As the buzzing sound made sure the door was securely locked, he prepared to leave the shop and go to Shimokitazawa to pick up Asuka.
This child should be able to follow the fourteen-note scale smoothly now. Next, we need to help her finalize the lyrics for three songs and see how quickly she can get started.
"Nakajima Hiroshi?"
As I approached the shop door, a hostile voice suddenly rang out.
It's a Kato Inu.
Nakajima Hiroshi sighed, put on a smile, and turned around to say, "Kato-kun, I didn't expect you weren't resting either."
Generally speaking, most male prostitutes are sleeping at this time.
"The guests happened to stay out very late."
Kato's tone was somewhat arrogant.
Being able to retain customers means being able to generate revenue.
Putting aside his smugness, this guy is indeed useful to the store.
"Kato-kun is really amazing. I need to learn a lot from you."
Nakajima Hiroshi made a casual, polite remark.
He didn't want to engage in pointless bickering at this time. Even if there was a grudge, he wanted to retaliate in a controlled manner under Misaki Tachibana's instructions.
However, seeing Nakajima Hiroshi's attitude, the other party's expression became even more unpleasant.
As a gigolo who showers people with sweet words every day, it's easy to tell whether he's being sincere or just going through the motions.
What's more, this guy could potentially threaten my relationship with the Queen.
"If nothing else comes up, I'll go back and rest."
Nakajima Hiroshi didn't press the matter at all; after a few simple pleasantries, he turned and left.
"See you later, Kato-kun."
"etc!"
Kato called out to him.
"Kato-kun, do you need help?"
Nakajima Hiroshi frowned slightly, but still maintained his polite demeanor.
This consistently polite attitude made Kato feel like he was hitting a brick wall, leaving him no room to find fault.
They could only make up an excuse to get by.
"No, the situation was urgent that day, and I think I accidentally hurt you, so I wanted to ask if there were any lingering problems."
"It's alright, Kato-kun, don't worry about it."
"That's good."
Kato raised his chin.
Thinking of how Nakajima Hiroshi had suffered a loss at his hands, he finally found a sense of superiority.
After a moment of feigned politeness, both men smiled and turned to leave.
However, after taking only a few steps, Kato's face quickly turned cold.
Hiroshi Nakajima seems a bit difficult to deal with.
This feels awful.
After a good night's rest, Nakajima Hiroshi finally recovered some of his strength.
On the tram, he repeatedly considered composing music, writing lyrics, and choreographing dances.
These elements worked together, going through them in my mind again and again, and after repeated refinement, I was finally completely satisfied.
Misaki Tachibana is right. Hiro Nakajima is definitely the type who keeps pushing himself to the limit.
Even if he truly realized this, he would still repeatedly be harsh on himself until the very last moment.
But this pressure must not be passed on to Asuka.
He made up his mind before taking out his keys and opening the door.
……Um.
It's still that character "鼎" (ding).
Asuka slept soundly, like a small animal that had just found its nest and was completely relaxed.
This child is so big, yet still drools in his sleep.
Could he be mentally challenged?
Waterproof pillowcases should be added to the purchasing list.
"Hehehehe, Nakajima, let's go get some steak..."
The girl was talking in her sleep.
We just ate there.
Nakajima Hiroshi couldn't help but sigh, "Asuka really has a good appetite. I wonder where all the weight has gone."
Although it's getting late, let her sleep a little longer.
They simply took out some paper and, using Arabic numerals they were both familiar with, transcribed two copies of the score and added lyrics.
"Nakajima, you're back..."
Before anyone knew it, Asuka had already woken up.
She rubbed her eyes and then pulled up the blanket to wipe the drool from the corner of her mouth, showing no sign of embarrassment.
This is definitely not the first time they've done this.
Her clothes were wrung out and wrinkled, revealing smooth shoulders and a patch of white skin. She casually tugged at them a few times and managed to straighten them out.
"Asuka, come and take a look."
"Okay..."
She didn't seem fully awake yet, and dazedly leaned against Nakajima Hiroshi.
"Oh, it's that sheet music. I remember it perfectly."
As she spoke, Asuka began to hum a drowsy tune.
Although the voice was a bit sticky, it was definitely sung correctly.
It seems that she does possess perfect pitch, at least in accordance with the sheet music.
Although this sheet music isn't in a proper format, theoretically, if Asuka works hard enough, she should be able to make a name for herself.
"These are the lyrics, let me see..."
A soft, yielding sensation came from my back.
Soon, Asuka's little hand reached out from the side and hastily grabbed a sheet of music.
"Ugh! The declaration part was so embarrassing."
"However, I like the radio wave part."
Asuka didn't protest much, just made a couple of lukewarm comments, and then asked a question.
"What are we doing today? Singing practice?"
"Try it first, and decide how well you adapt."
Asuka Hana relies purely on muscle memory to climb scales, and it's uncertain whether there will be significant problems after adding lyrics.
In theory, muscle memory for musical scales mainly affects pitch, while vocalization is more strongly related to mouth shape, so this part shouldn't cause any problems.
However, theory is one thing, but practical verification is still necessary for a reliable conclusion.
If you're good at singing, start practicing dancing as soon as possible, because the timing and range of breathing are completely different when singing while dancing.
If you want to use dance to cover up Asuka's fatal weakness, you have to maximize the tension.
Therefore, although her dance design is not complicated, the movements are very large and the physical test is quite high. You might even have to teach her to control her breathing.
Let's first look at the singing effect after the lyrics are added.
Next, determine Asuka's coordination and stamina.
These two things are what urgently need to be verified right now.
No, not only that.
Before that, there is something more important.
Hiroshi Nakajima felt compelled to ask.
