304. Summer travel 5(1/3)
After eating the barbecue, the sun soaked in the sea.
The four of them came out of the water and went to the bathroom to take a shower and change clothes.
After a while, Mrs. Kujo came out wearing thin indoor clothes. She saw Toru Watanabe cleaning the dishes and said:
"The ship will dock tomorrow and someone will take care of these things."
"It's okay, I'm used to it."
"Whatever you want to do." Mrs. Kujo walked to the cooking table and said, "Boss, please give me a glass of whiskey mixed with water and ice."
"Wait a moment, madam." Toru Watanabe washed his hands, poured wine from a cup for her, and added ice balls into it.
Mrs. Kujo thanked her in the tone of a guest, picked up the wine glass gracefully, and took a sip.
The night breeze could blow, and Toru Watanabe could smell the fragrance of her body after bathing.
Mrs. Kujo took a sip, looked at Toru Watanabe and asked, "Are you on your own without a nanny?"
"I didn't have money before, but now I have money, but I never thought of hiring a nanny."
"Wash the clothes alone?"
"You don't think I'm squatting there and using a washboard? I just throw it into the washing machine and just take it out to dry when the time comes."
"Washboard?" Mrs. Kujo asked curiously, "I've heard of it but never seen it. What does it look like?"
"Waves."
Mrs. Kujo drank and imagined the washboard of the waves.
"You wash the dishes by yourself, mop the floor by yourself, and cook all the meals by yourself?" she asked again.
“Occasionally convenience store bento.”
The two of them stopped talking, Watanabe Toru washed the dishes in silence, and Mrs. Kujo drank for a while by the kitchen counter, then turned on the record player.
In the cabin, the melody of "five hundred miles" sounded.
Mrs. Kujo sat back and said with a smile: "I like this song very much. It reminded me of my childhood in Kyoto. When you sang this song in the afternoon, I almost fell in love with you."
"Falling in love with a farm boy who sells barbecue and washes dishes?" Toru Watanabe said with a smile.
"That's enough." Mrs. Kujo smiled slightly, "The barbecue is delicious and you can earn money to support the family; washing the dishes proves that you don't hate doing housework."
She shook the wine glass, and the ice cubes swayed around in it, making a crisp sound. It looked like it was about to fly out several times, but then fell back inconceivably.
"Five Hundred Miles" didn't finish playing once, and Mrs. Kiyono and Miki Kujo came up after taking a bath.
Mrs. Kiyono was wearing the same thin casual clothes as Mrs. Kujo, which was very cool.
Miki Kouta wore Watanabe Toru's shirt and hot pants-like pajamas, which were hidden under the shirt.
"The 500 kilometers bar is open, what are you two doing?" Watanabe Toru's eyes fell on Kujo Miki's thighs exposed from the hem of her shirt.
"Beer, thank you." Mrs. Kiyono sat down next to Mrs. Kujo.
Watanabe Toru took a cup and poured beer into it.
The exquisite and transparent glass contains golden liquid. The bubbles rising from the bottom of the cup form dense white foam on the surface.
"It looks delicious." Mrs. Qingye praised it with dignity.
"Thank you." Toru Watanabe looked at Miki Kujo on the other side of Mrs. Kujo, "My Miki, what do you want to drink?"
"milk."
"Hold on."
"The bar sells milk?" Mrs. Qingye asked with a smile.
"The bar is just a joke." Toru Watanabe turned his back to them and took out the milk from the refrigerator, "Actually, this is the love nest of me and Mei Ji, and the table is just the kitchen counter."
"Unauthorized unmarried cohabitation." Mrs. Kujo said while drinking.
Miki Kujo drank a few sips of milk, and Rin Kiyono walked up to the song "Now that I'm in rags, I'm still nameless."
"It's been a long time, Rin-chan." Mrs. Kujo greeted.
"It's troublesome to take care of your hair." Toru Watanabe guessed her answer.
"I haven't soaked for long. It takes time to fix my hair." Qingye Rin first went to the table to get "Blue Planet II" and then sat in front of the bar.
"A glass of watermelon juice." She said as she opened the book.
"This is a bar, Miss Kiyono Rin." Toru Watanabe reminded in the tone of a bartender.
Qingye Rin said nothing and was already reading a book.
"It won't happen again." Watanabe Toru took a watermelon, cut it into pieces, and divided it into two parts.
Put one on the bar for them to eat, and throw the other into the juicer.
Mrs. Qingye looked at her daughter's long hair and said, "Would you like to try short hair?"
"No, I like long hair."
Miki Kujo glanced at Kiyono Rin across the two ladies, her eyes falling on the snow-white shoulders.
Rin Kiyono wore a pajama with a neckline that slid down to her shoulders, which made her look innocent, sexy, and a little homely.
"Would you wear such clothes?" Kujo Miki asked with a sneer.
"Mom prepared it." Qingye Rin replied without looking up.
"Is this the only way?"
"What do I wear, do I need your permission?" Kiyono Rin glanced at Kujo Miki.
Mrs. Kujo smiled and said to her daughter: "I have seen all kinds of swimsuits during the day, including the shoulders."
"A swimsuit is a swimsuit. If you wear it like this, you are afraid of trying to seduce people." Miki Kujo said.
"Okay, juice." Watanabe Toru placed the glass in front of Kiyono Rin and suddenly took it back.
"I almost forgot." He threw a piece of ice in.
The juice overflowed all of a sudden, centered on the bottom of the cup, and sprinkled on the cabinet.
"It's unnecessary." Qingye Rin glanced at it.
"Everyone else is just fine, you're the only one who's ready." Toru Watanabe wiped the glass and handed it to her.
"Like Miki-san said, were you seduced by my shoulders? Did you forget to put the ice cubes first?"
"At least there is some evidence for the bloody mouth. I have no interest in the shoulder. And as a professional bartender, who doesn't clean the table?"
"Ice and juice, a professional bartender?" Qingye Rin mocked.
Watanabe Toru ignored her, and while wiping the table, he said to Mrs. Kujo: "Miss Maki, do you want more?"
Mrs. Kujo put the cup in front of him: "Sea Bartender, whiskey cocktail."
"Actually, I'm a pianist at sea." Toru Watanabe said politely, "The bartender went on a date with the mermaid, so I was asked to take over for the time being. Just look at Meiji, the milk she drank, and you'll know what the situation is now.
.”
Mrs. Kujo laughed twice and said lazily: "Okay, pianist, but before you play the piano, could you please make me a cocktail?"
"Yes, yes."
"Add some orange juice, soda water, lemonade, or any other liqueur or drink, as long as it's drinkable. I'll try the wine made by someone who doesn't know anything."
"Then you probably can't drink it."
"The heir to the Kujo family, together with his son-in-law, murdered the head of the Kujo family on the Pacific Ocean?" Mrs. Kiyono said with a smile.
"This is the headline for tomorrow's newspaper!" Toru Watanabe started mixing drinks.
You can do whatever you want depending on your mood, and the resulting wine will have a weird color.
"Watanabe-kun, no kidding, I really suspect you want to murder me." Mrs. Kujo looked at the wine in front of her.
Kujo Miki looked at the glass of wine and smiled, and persuaded: "Mother, I think you should not drink it."
Even Qingye Rin raised his head and looked at the glass of wine.
"I told you earlier, I am a pianist at sea, not a bartender." Toru Watanabe said.
"Try it first." Mrs. Kujo reached for the wine glass.
"Wait a minute." Toru Watanabe stopped her, put a cherry on top with a toothpick, and threw in a piece of mint, "That's it."
"It looks quite similar." Kujo Miki nodded.
The four of them watched Mrs. Kujo take a sip.
"How is it?" Mrs. Qingye asked.
Mrs. Kujo said nothing, ate the cherry on the toothpick, and then pointed the toothpick at the grand piano in the corner:
"Sea Pianist, go, that's where you belong."
Miki Kujo and Mrs. Kiyono laughed.
