    Another weekend.

    Natsuki Arai went out to get ready to go shopping for some daily necessities, and when he heard that the mall was having a sale, he thought twice about it and finally decided to go.

    He dressed up for the occasion, wrapped himself up tightly, wore sunglasses and a mask on his face, and did his best not to interact with people on the way, arrived safely at the mall, and returned as soon as he could after his shopping.

    “Lina, is there anything you want to buy?”

    Aoi Natsuki asked as she stroked Rina’s little head before leaving the door.

    Lina looked up and thought for a moment, then wrote on her writing pad, “No.”

    Natsuki Aoi was slightly surprised because he remembered that Rina had mentioned a ragdoll only the other day, did she not like it anymore?

    Watching Rina’s expression, the psychology of a child is the best guess, looking at her evasive eyes, Aoi Natsuki understood probably, this girl is trying to save money for herself ah.

    “Alright then, wait for me back at home.” Aoi Natsuki narrowed her eyes and smiled, turning around and heading out the door.

    Take the subway to Shinjuku, where things tend to be a bit more affordable, and places like Ginza or Ikebukuro, where the selection is greatly reduced.

    He stood in the subway car, which fortunately was specially equipped with women’s compartments, so he stayed in the other cars and didn’t get any blank stares.

    Forty minutes into the ride, just after the doors opened, he dodged a bullet by sprinting up the elevator first with fire before the women could get off the subway.

    Until running out of the subway entrance, the big stone hanging in the heart which fell down.

    This is a life he really doesn’t want to live ……

    Natsuki Arai sighed and then headed to the big mall that he had always frequented, passing by the corner and seeing a few conspicuous booths that seemed to be doing some sort of event.

    He walked up having an afterimage and instantly his eyes met with another’s.

    She ……

    “Ah! It’s you!”

    The girl behind the booth exclaimed.

    Aoi Natsuki also recognized her as the S-rank girl she met at the haunted house two days ago.

    At this point she had changed into a light green shirt with a white hat on her head.

    Took off the doll holster, so that the figure also belongs to the slender type, in addition to ……

    Aoi Natsuki just glanced at her chest and immediately moved away.

    It doesn’t seem to be developing in certain areas yet.

    “Hello again.” Aoi Natsuki said.

    “Mmmmm, I didn’t expect to see you a second time, you …… are as disgusting as ever today~”

    Natsuki Aoi narrowed her eyes, “How on earth did you manage to say something like that with a smile on your face?”

    “Eh? Wasn’t it you who told me to go ahead and say it in the first place!” The girl showed shock.

    “How long has that been going on, never mind.” Natsuki Aoi seemed to kind of realize that this guy seemed to be a natural, completely different from Apricot Sakurajima, and that her eyes didn’t encompass any meaning when she exited her mouth to hurt someone.

    Just simply find him disgusting.

    “What are you doing?”

    “Volunteering! Helping the elderly will raise some funds that will allow them to be able to go on a trip, hehe~ If it wasn’t for the fact that I’ve been strapped for pocket money for the past two months, I could probably handle it all by myself.” The girl said while shaking her head.

    This girl’s words may be a little poisonous, but she is quite caring.

    This made Aoi Natsuki think highly of her.

    “So where are we at now? What percent complete?”

    “Hmph.” The girl smiled mysteriously, “Little brother, you even asked me about math, do you want our chat to stop there?”

    “Er ……”

    For a moment he was speechless.

    “It’s a shame I’m currently struggling to make ends meet as well, or I would have contributed.”

    Natsuki Arai shrugged her shoulders.

    “Aha, it’s okay oh, after all, I can understand if a man like you is poor.”

    “???”

    Conversations with this girl are getting more and more out of hand… this girl is talking about tigers and wolves!

    As if realizing something, the girl hastily covered her mouth and said with a frown, “Did I say something bad again? I’m sorry about that, it’s really because you’re so obnoxious looking, I’ll try to restrain myself next!”

    “You guys ah ……”

    Natsuki Aoi sighed, he was no longer in the mood to continue chatting, and left it at that.

    Just as she was about to leave, she was suddenly called back by the S-rank girl.

    “I don’t know your name yet?”

    Name ……

    Aoi Natsuki eventually chose to say his name, which wasn’t quite a piece of meat anyway.

    “Ya ……” A residual look passed over the S-ranked girl’s face for a moment when she heard that his name was kinda clean.

    Damn it!

    Before he could take offense, the S-rank girl took the lead, “My name is Ayano Takahashi, how’s that for a good name?”

    “Takahashi ……” In an instant Arai Natsuki associated it with Takahashi Mito, oh! It dawned on him.

    No wonder it feels like I’ve seen it somewhere before! Doesn’t this face look like Takahashi Mito? And she’s old enough to be a sister.

    That’s too much of a coincidence!

    Both sisters are S-ranked?

    Aoi Natsuki slapped her forehead with her hand, no wonder it was so difficult, the Takahashi family were no slouches.

    “I see, then I know, I have things to do, I’ll see you around.”

    Aoi Natsuki saw that she had such harsh words for herself, and also dismissed the idea of asking for her contact information, besides, if he wanted the other party would not necessarily give it, so it was better to save it.

    Not listening to what she said anymore, he quickly walked towards the end of the street, and Ayano Takahashi looked at his back, a curious look filling her face instead.

    ……

    Aoi Natsuki shopping is over, as well as ……

    He opened the shopping bag, which still had a rag doll lying quietly inside, the same rag doll that Lina had been eyeing on TV some time ago.

    It was also a reward for taking such good care of Yoshi Sauce all this time.

    I left the house late today, and now when I look at the time it’s after 4pm, I’m rushing home just in time to cook dinner.

    While thinking about what to cook, Natsuki Aoi suddenly received a phone call.

    He opened the screen to see that it was Midu Takahashi calling.

    She actually took the initiative to call him?

    Unbelievable.

    He immediately pressed the dialing button, and the anxious voice of Midu Takahashi speaking soon came from inside.

    “Quick, come pick me up! I’m, I’m stuck on the lake and my cell phone is broken, hurry up and come pick me up from Chidori Fuchi ……”

    “What?” Aoi Natsuki froze for just a second and immediately replied, “Okay, I’ll be right over, keep the power on, and call me back in twenty minutes.”

    Aoi Natsuki hung up the phone and immediately took a cab ready to go to Kitanomaru Park, where was that guy going and what was he doing?

    Chidorigafuchi is located in Kitanomaru Park next to the Yasukuni Shrine Toilet, and is known as Chidorigafuchi no Fuchi in Japan for a 400-meter long Chidorigafuchi Cherry Blossom Trail.

    During the cherry blossom season, there are a lot of tourists visiting the lake, but it is usually less popular in winter.

    Why did Takahashi suddenly think of going to the lake?
