I became the best friend of the heroine in Love Tour

Chapter 382 Caring for stray kittens
As soon as Akimoto Yoichi and Kudo Kokoro opened the bathroom door, they ran into Miyama Midori.

Just as Miyama Midori, who was holding a comic book, walked out of the room, she saw two people coming out of the bathroom.

Although he was very slow, Shen Shanlv was still a little confused when he saw the two people coming out together.

"Are you guys coming together? Going in there together?" However, Midori Fukayama still regarded Akimoto Yoichi as a friend.

At this time, he was very ashamed and did not directly question Akimoto Yoichi. After all, Kudo Kokoro also looked very happy?

"Well, I'll go in and carry her out. She can't wash her hands by herself." Akimoto Yoichi answered as a matter of course.

At this moment, it seems as if it is Shen Shanlv's fault?
Am I thinking too much? Do I judge others by my own standards?

As expected, Shen Shanlv immediately scratched his head in shame and said awkwardly: "Yeah, I thought you guys were in there all the time."

You guessed it, we were inside the whole time and I didn't go out.

Akimoto Yoichi looked at the deep green mountains in front of him, waved his hand and said, "Of course not, I'm just Xinyou-chan's porter. Xinyou-chan is not someone who approaches others so easily."

Kudo Shinyu glared at Akimoto Yoichi who talked a little too much.

It suddenly became clear whether this guy was praising himself or insulting himself.

No matter what Akimoto Yoichi thought, Miyama Midori's mind was on a completely different channel at this moment.

"No, in fact, Xinyou-chan has been very smart and well-behaved since she was a child. Although she likes to act like a spoiled child, she is a good child. If Akimoto-kun interacts with Xinyou-chan more, he will understand that Xinyou-chan is actually very cute."

Does Midori Miyama think that she is saying that Kudo Kokoro is difficult to get along with? Is she worried that she and Kokoro-chan have a bad relationship and will ignore Kudo Kokoro?
Well, although Akimoto Yoichi did think so, what he said just now was not what he meant at all.

Although Shen Shanlv was a little confused about the situation, this could be considered as him caring about his cousin, right?
"Um, I will try my best to get along well with Xinyou-chan." Akimoto Yoichi didn't want to explain, so he just nodded and said, looking down at Kudo Xinyou, "Look, Shenshan-kun asked you to get along well with me."

This didn't seem like a big deal to Midori Miyama, but it made Kudo Shinyu very embarrassed and angry.

Akimoto Yoichi's words sounded as if Miyama Midori was giving her, her cousin, to Akimoto Yoichi.

However, in front of Miyama Midori, Kudo Shinyu did not lose his temper.

"Okay, if it's Brother Green who says it, I'll listen."

Kudo Kokoro still looked pitiful on the surface, but where Shinyama Midori couldn't see, she pinched Akimoto Yoichi hard.

"Then let's go in. I brought a lot of books that you might like, Xinyou." Fukayama Midori excitedly raised a pile of comic books in her hand.

Akimoto Yoichi was very happy. Since there were so many comics, there would be no time to bother him.

Holding Kudo Kokoro, Akimoto Yoichi followed Miyama Midori back to Natsuki's room.

After putting Kudo Kokoro back on the table, he said hello to Midori Fukayama and left. Midori Fukayama's other sister was waiting for him next door.

"Then Natsuki and I are studying next door. If you need anything, just knock on my door. You guys can have fun."

"Okay, thank you for bothering you, Akimoto-kun. I'm sorry for disturbing your and Natsuki's studies." Midori Fukayama made her signature head-scratching gesture again.

Before Akimoto Yoichi spoke, Kudo Shinyuu said, "It's okay. Akimoto-nii and Nayuki-chan won't be bothered. They are having fun. This way, no one can disturb them from studying."

Akimoto Yang glanced at Kudo Xinyu who said this deliberately. This guy was gloating over the misfortune of Midori Shinyama because of his slowness.

But since she was helping him, not peeing at him, Akimoto Yoichi was too lazy to pay attention to her and turned and left the room.

Soon, Kudo Kokoro and Fukayama Midori heard the sound of the door of the next room closing.

I'm sure Akimoto Yoichi and Miyama Natsuki will study very hard from now on. Miyama Midori suddenly feels relaxed as no one is bothering her to study anymore.

"Then let's take a look at comics. Xinyou-chan, what kind of comics do you like to read? When you were a child, you often loved to read comics about magical girls of light, right? I still have a collection now."

Rather than accompanying the two of them to study, Midori Fukayama enjoyed the time she would spend sharing comics with Kokoro Kudo more.

Looking at Midori Fukayama who was saying "when I was a child" in front of her, Kudo Kokoro realized that she was being treated like a child, even though she was already in the third grade of junior high school like Natsuki, and would be a first grade next year.

It's just that Midori Fukayama still treats Kudo Kokoro as the little cousin in her memory, and does not regard her as a possible romantic partner.

"Okay, come to think of it, I haven't read it for more than three years. I'm so glad that you still remember the comics I like, Green Brother."

But it doesn’t matter, even if I’m treated as a child it doesn’t matter.

As long as you clean up all the girls around Shenshanlu, Shenshanlu will not fall in love with anyone else.

Then it would be difficult for Kudo Shinyu to lose. Now Natsuki has fallen in love with Akimoto Yoichi, and Akimoto Yoichi has also moved into Suzuran Ayano's house.

Since Akimoto Yoichi and Fukami Natsuki have reached such a point, I believe Suzuran Ayano is almost the same. Before, Suzuran Ayano behaved very calmly in front of Fukami Midori, without any ripples.

The people that Kudo Shinyu was originally worried about, Natsuki Fukaya and Ayano Suzuran, have now been taken away by Akimoto Yoichi.

Then there are no girls worth paying attention to around Shenshanlv’s home.

The rest are my rivals in school.

In fact, Kudo Kokoro was already prepared for this, but that's a story for later.

Right now, Kudo Xinyu still has time to learn something from Miyama Midori.

"This is the new magical girl this year, Xinyou-chan, take a look! Personally, I like this office worker uncle more. Even though he is an uncle, he can actually turn into a magical girl..."

Looking at Midori Fukayama who was introducing the two-dimensional world to him, Kudo Shinyu asked casually.

"This heroine seems very interesting. Brother Green, do you have any girls like Tina or other girls who are suitable to be magical girls in school?"

"Huh? A girl like the magical girl?"

Midori Miyama looked at Kudo Shinyu who blinked, and then said thoughtfully: "Nagase-san is very suitable to be a magical girl. If she becomes a magical girl, she will probably be the core of everyone, the protagonist-type magical girl who helps everyone."

It's that Nagase again. Kudo Xinyu's eyes twitched.

Although she wanted to lift the table in front of her, she still held back.

Naturally, she would not forget this Nagase, so Kudo Xinyu continued to ask.

"Then is there anyone else? Are there any other girls who Green Brother thinks are suitable to be magical girls? In the school."

"Yes, there is." Shen Shanlu nodded.

Kudo Xinyu's eyes twitched suddenly and bloodshot appeared in his eyes.

Tugging at the corner of her clothes, she tried her best to maintain that cute and innocent smile on her face.

"There's a girl in our class named Shiraishi Wakane. She's very shy and introverted, and I think she's the type who can surprise people all of a sudden."

"She's a magical girl who's usually introverted and gloomy but actually has a hidden identity or something, hahahaha. But Shiraishi-san and Akimoto-kun are very close. I heard that it was Akimoto-kun who gave her the courage to come to school. The bond between them is enviable. It's just like the plot in a comic book. Everyone in our class thinks so."

Akimoto Yoichi? Are you familiar with that yellow-haired guy?

Kudo Xinyu was a little surprised to hear Akimoto Yoichi's name.

"So is Akimoto-nii-san in the same class as Midori-nii-san?"

"No, I'm from Class B and Akimoto-kun is from Class A." Midori Fukayama nonchalantly picked up a bag of snacks and opened it.

Kudo Shinyu tilted her head and thought for a few seconds. Although she didn't know why Akimoto Yoichi was so familiar with the girls in Miyama Midori's class, it seemed that Akimoto Yoichi had not only snatched away Miyama Midori's sister and childhood sweetheart from home.

Did that yellow-haired guy also snatch a girl from Midori Miyama's class at school? Midori Miyama obviously didn't have any romantic feelings for Shiraishi Wakane. He was just looking at the classmate who might become a magical girl from a bystander's perspective.

This is a good thing, and it is naturally the best thing for Kudo Xinyu.

"Then is there anyone else? A girl that Green Brother cares about."

"The girl I care about?" Midori Fukayama looked at Kudo Shinyu in confusion.

Kudo Shinyu let the cat out of the bag.

But her rank completely crushed Shen Shanlv, so she was not panicked at all at this time.

Blinking as a matter of course, Kudo Xinyu said, "Of course, it's the girl that Midori-nii cares about, the one who thinks she can become a magical girl."

"Oh, I see. That's what you mean."

Shen Shanlu thought for a moment and quickly said another name.

"There's probably also Nishida Yuuki. I talked to her at the beginning of the school year, but later she and Akimoto-kun participated in the student council election together. Although some things happened, they were still successfully elected as the new student council."

"Nishida Yuuki-san is probably the kind of think tank type of magical girl. At first glance, she seems to be very strategic and can come up with a variety of tactics."

"Beside Nishida Yuuki there is a girl named Kitamura Mao. She seems to be a maid in Nishida Yuuki's home. It's not impossible to have a maid, a magical girl."

Nishida Yuki and Kitamura Mao? Are they the girls who were close to Miyama Midori at school? Kudo Kokoro silently memorized these two names.

Just when she wanted to continue to explore, a "creaking" sound came from the room next door where Natsuki Miyama and Yoichi Akimoto were.

That was the sound coming from the tatami, and it sounded like it was shaking.

"Hmm? The sound is so loud. Has it been a long time? The tatami's parents haven't come back in a long time, and there's no maintenance done." Midori Fukayama said as she looked at the room next door where Natsuki Fukayama and Yoichi Akimoto were.

Although he was playing an anime series on his mobile phone at the moment, he could still hear the noise coming from next door.

Apparently, Shen Shanlv hadn't realized anything strange was going on yet.

"Well, yes, it's good like this. It's like this because no one has lived here for a long time." Kudo Xinyu said with a blush.

Although Kudo Kokoro dared to pierce her ears more than a dozen times, she had never had any contact with any boys.

After all, in the countryside where my grandparents lived, the population was declining and there were few young people in the entire village. Even to go to school, people had to go to the shops opened by adults who had left the village.

There is no school, no real teachers, and the so-called classmates are just little kids a few years younger than me. It is not that several kids of the same grade gather together in other people’s shops and think of it as going to school.

It is for this reason that Kudo Xinyu got her earrings pierced in that dull countryside place, just to prevent herself from becoming a lifeless old lady in such a living atmosphere, and also to make the pain make her feel better.

This was her first time to know that it was so intense? Even people next door could hear it?
"But with it being so noisy, can Natsuki and Akimoto continue studying? By the way, the noise hasn't stopped yet? It seems like there's a cat meowing? Should we go and help? If a wild cat ran in, Akimoto and Natsuki would probably be very angry now. They went to the next door because they wanted to concentrate on studying." said Midori Fukayama, who was listening attentively.

Kudo Xinyu bit her lower lip, she could also hear the noisy meowing sound.

She glared angrily at the next room.

When those two people were catching the cat, didn’t they know that the sound could be heard over here?
Shouldn't you have paid more attention to this? Houses built of wood have poor sound insulation. Did you not pay attention to this problem before?
"Well, probably they are catching cats. Well, many stray cats have nowhere to live at this time, so they will look for a warm place."

Although it was very noisy next door, Kudo Xinyu had to cover for the two of them.

After all, she was the one who made this happen.

"But Brother Green, please don't disturb them. It would be even worse if the cat ran out when we went to open the door."

"Leave it to Akimoto-nii and Natsuki. Akimoto-nii is so strong, he will surely be able to subdue that little kitty."

"Why don't you tell me about the girl in your class, Midori? Her name is Nishida Yuuki and Kitamura Mao? They must have a very good relationship with Midori, right? Didn't you just say that they knew you at the opening ceremony?"

Kudo Shinyu turned up the volume on the phone that was playing the anime in front of her to cover up the noise coming from Akimoto Yoichi and Fukami Natsuki next door.

Although it was useless, I could still vaguely hear the sound of someone catching a kitten in the next room.

But it was quieter than before. When Midori Fukayama heard what Kudo Kokoro said, she shifted her attention.

"Well, although I met Nishida Yuki at the opening ceremony, we didn't interact much after that. Nishida Yuki doesn't come to class on weekdays. If she comes to school, she is in the student union. Akimoto-kun is the vice president of the student union, so only Akimoto-kun can see Nishida Yuki."

"The same is true for Yuuki Nishida's maid, Mao Kitamura. Although Mao Kitamura is also a student in our Class B of the first year, she has never been to class, just like Yuuki Nishida."

"Now, basically only Akimoto-kun can see them. Although I met him at the opening ceremony, Nishida Yuki had already spoken to Akimoto-kun before me. We are from two different worlds, right?"

Midori Miyama couldn't help but shrug her shoulders, and it seemed that she and Akimoto Yoichi had become people from two different worlds without realizing it.

Not only Yuki Nishida, but Ayano Suzuran also seems to be very popular as a discipline committee member.

However, they had no contact with Shen Shanlui for a long time, as if they had never known Shen Shanlui in the first place.

"Then brother Midori, do you feel lost? Sad?" Kudo Xinyu pretended to care about Midori Miyama, but she was already very happy in her heart.

Akimoto Yoichi seemed to be much more capable than she thought. Before she came, Akimoto Yoichi seemed to have been doing what she wanted to do.

Take away all the girls around Shenshanlui, leaving Shenshanlui with no other girls.

Judging from Midori Fukayama's attitude at this time, it is obvious that Midori Fukayama's brother has become accustomed to it, and he is speaking to Yuki Nishida and Mao Kitamura completely from the perspective of a bystander.

Because the gap between her and them was so huge, Shen Shanlv had no thoughts at all. She just looked up at the school's enviable existence as an ordinary student.

So Kudo Xinyu asked this question tentatively at this time.

If Midori Miyama was dissatisfied with Yoichi Akimoto, then she would naturally protect her teammate Yoichi Akimoto and speak well of him.

After all, as long as Akimoto Yoichi is with his green brother, his green brother will not be popular with women.

Where can I find teammates like this?

Hearing what Kudo Xinyu said, Fukayama Midori shook her head gently and said, "No, although..."

"Meow!" The rapid noise from next door interrupted Shen Shanlv.

Kudo Xinyou coughed and said, "Maybe Natsuki and Akimoto-nii haven't caught the cat yet. Let's not pay attention to them."

"That's right. We can't help if we go there. Akimoto-kun has always been reliable and he is very active in school."

Although Midori Miyama met Yoichi Akimoto and Yuki Nishida on the first day of school.

The people that he and Akimoto Yoichi used to know gradually had no connection with him, and he used to be confused and entangled about Midori Shinyama.

I wonder where I gradually became different from Akimoto Yoichi, but after seeing Akimoto Yoichi's more and more outstanding performances, whether it was piano playing, baseball, literature, and becoming a respected vice-president of the student union.

Those were things that Miyama Midori couldn't imagine, things he couldn't do. Now he had almost gotten used to the gap between himself and Akimoto Yoichi.

Just give up and don't compare yourself with Akimoto Yang.

What's more, Shen Shanlv is not dissatisfied with his current life.

Because he also has a close female friend by his side.

"I still have Nagase-san by my side, I also have the Manga Research Club, and I also have friends like Tokuo and Akimoto-kun. I am living a very fulfilling life now."

Shen Shanlv scratched the back of his head and said with a smile.

Seeing him like this, Kudo Xinyu responded with a somewhat awkward smile.

At this time, the tatami next door was shaking and the cat's sound did not stop. It seemed that the cat had not been caught yet.

This made Kudo Xinyu's thoughts confused. How could she concentrate? She had no intention of continuing to talk to Miyama Midori, so she ended the topic.

"Is that so? Then let's watch anime. This magical girl show looks very interesting."

Miyama Midori nodded happily: "Right, especially the hero's daughter, the magical girl character. Although she is a rebellious daughter, she is also..."

It was not until 10:30 in the evening that the sound of the kitten next door running on the tatami stopped.

As agreed, Akimoto Yoichi opened the room next door at around 10:40 and came to where Kudo Kokoro and Fukayama Midori were.

Midori Miyama also completed the task and said to Akimoto Yoichi: "Thank you for your hard work, Akimoto-kun." Then she ran back to her room happily and couldn't wait to chat with Nagase Kumari.

When Akimoto Yoichi carried Kudo Shinyu back to Miyama's parents' room, Kudo Shinyu immediately saw Miyama Natsuki, who was curled up in the quilt like a silkworm cocoon pretending to be asleep.

There were three beds, and Nayue Shenshan slept in the middle.

This obviously means that Akimoto Yoichi and Kudo Shinyuu will sleep on both sides of her.

Kudo Xinyu didn't even have to think about it, what was the reason for Miyama Nayue's arrangement, they might do it again tonight! ?
"Did a cat run into your room just now? The tatami made noises for an hour and a half, and my brother Midori Fukayama and I both heard it. I told my brother Midori Fukayama that it might have been a wild cat that ran in." Kudo Shinyu said maliciously.

Nayuki Miyama, who was hiding in the quilt, visibly shook her body, and the half of her face that was exposed from the quilt had turned red.

Akimoto Yang glanced at Kudo Xinyou in his arms and said, "Yes, so what do you want? Let me be grateful to you?"

"No need to thank me, I just want no cats to come in when I sleep at night! The sound of the tatami can be heard even in the next room, it's really noisy!" Kudo Xinyu glared at Akimoto Yoichi in front of her, and she said shyly.

Although Akimoto Yoichi didn't care, Miyama Natsuki was obviously ashamed.

She said nothing, but just buried her head further into the quilt.

Looking at Kudo Shinyu's protest, Akimoto Yoichi shrugged.

"I'll be careful. I'll try not to let the cat in when I sleep at night."

"Then I'll sleep in the middle! I don't want to keep me awake tonight because of all the noise!"

"How do you know I can last all night?"

"...? Who asked you that?!"

“Oh my~”

Curled up in the quilt, the little kitten with a full belly didn't dare to speak, but only made cute sounds.
