I became the best friend of the heroine in Love Tour

Chapter 407 Home Visit to Maiden
In front of the coffee shop.

"Here, take these back for a midnight snack. If this kid dares to say that they are not tasty, you tell me and I will beat him up."

The store manager, a huge female gorilla, stood in front of the car window and handed the packaged food to Akimoto Yoichi, while also giving some instructions to Shimono Otome.

Although Akimoto Yoichi wanted to protest, the look from the female gorilla made him shut up.

Shimono Otome looked at the two of them, smiled and lit the cigarette in her hand.

The only person who can make Akimoto Yoichi so well behaved is probably Ai-chan. Although Akimoto Yoichi will listen to her, he will still say some rude words to her.

Only Ai-chan can make Akimoto Yoichi shut up with her simple and rough approach.

"Then see you tomorrow, Ai-chan." Shimono Otome waved to the female gorilla manager.

"Well, see you tomorrow."

The female gorilla manager also waved her hand and said.

Akimoto Yoichi felt a little strange when he heard the two people greeting each other.

What does see you tomorrow mean?

I guess Shimotsuke Otome will also come to this cafe to eat tomorrow?
After thinking about it, Akimoto Yoichi didn't care.

The van started up and left with Akimoto Yoichi and the drunk Ikeda Yuri.

The female gorilla manager stood with her hands on her hips and watched the van leave. When she turned around, she saw Yuye Shinkawa who just walked out of her own coffee shop.

Water was still dripping from Xinchuan Youye's little hands, and it was obvious that she was in a hurry to wash her face and ran out.

But unfortunately, although she was very fast, she still didn't make it in time to say goodbye to Akimoto Yang.

Looking at the lonely expression on the face of this expressionless loli, which was like a puppy watching its owner leave home to work again, the female gorilla manager walked up and gently rubbed her little face.

"It's okay Yuzuha-chan, we'll see that brat soon."

"That boy seems to be quite popular in school. He's quite busy on weekdays and seems to have joined a baseball team. But it doesn't matter, Oba-san. I've already made some connections."

"Did you have fun today? That brat bullied you. Do you want me to help you beat him back?"

At this time, the female gorilla manager had a feeling that was somewhat like her name, "Ai-chan", very gentle and motherly.

Even though she is a gorilla, "Ai-chan" is a female and still has maternal love.

Especially the little niece in front of me has a genius brain that is different from ordinary people.

Of course, this only applies to my niece, Yuzue Shinkawa.

"Hmm." The expressionless loli shook her head.

Then she clenched her little fist, raised it in front of her face, and waved it in the direction Akimoto Yoichi left.

"I'll beat him up myself!"

It seems that Yuzuha is looking forward to meeting Akimoto Yoichi next time.

The female gorilla manager showed a brighter smile on her strong and tough face. As long as Yuye is happy, that's enough.

The only thing that worried her was that the yellow-haired boy was not an easy person to deal with.

From his attitude towards Shimono Otome, we can tell that this guy will immediately seize the opportunity without any hesitation or unnecessary timidity.

The first time this yellow-haired boy came to his shop was with Suzuran Ayano, a girl who looked like a perfect childhood sweetheart, and the second time was with a pretty girl like Ikeda Yuri.

It can be said that this yellow-haired guy can tolerate any taste, and these girls are all very beautiful.

As an outsider, I admire the character of this yellow-haired boy.

A man should be so decisive, otherwise he will get nothing by procrastinating.

But the female gorilla manager Ai-chan is still a little worried because her niece, a talented little painter, also likes to play with this yellow-haired boy. Although this yellow-haired boy does not look like a Lolita control, it seems that he probably likes girls younger than him.

Next year, Yuzuha Shinkawa will be old enough to get married and have children, and the female gorilla manager is a little worried about this.

She fully believed that if Xinchuan Yuye created a chance for the yellow-haired boy, the yellow-haired boy would not hesitate at all. If he hesitated for a second, he would no longer be yellow-haired.

Although it is worth being happy that Yuye Shinkawa has found Huangmao as a playmate, it is okay to have them as friends or siblings, but not as lovers or fathers.

The female gorilla felt that her little niece deserved a better man who was more loyal and loving.

Although the yellow-haired boy is doing quite well, has status and position in school, works part-time as a pianist, and became a seed player when he joined the baseball team, it's just that this boy is not pure love.

but……

"Okay, stop looking. Let's go in. It's cold outside." Seeing that Yuzue Shinkawa's eyes had obviously become more lively and not as lifeless as before, the female gorilla manager could only smile bitterly and shook her head.

She couldn't say anything to Xinchuan Yuye now, saying that you can't fall in love with this yellow-haired guy, because the child is not smart enough yet.

Besides, I didn't have the heart to discourage or stop my little niece from finding a new playmate.

It’s such a headache, I can only let her be.

"Then let's go in. We sprayed pasta all over his face today anyway, so it's not a loss."

"Wait a few days, and then we'll go scare him again."

"Come on, let's pack up and go home, Yuzuha."

As long as his niece is happy, that brat will not abandon her.

I had to accept it reluctantly. After all, no one else could make my little niece so happy.

If Huangmao and Youye really get together, and if he dares to make my little niece sad, I can just take action to deal with him. I don't have to worry too much as I'm backing Youye up.

"Yeah!" Yuzue Shinkawa responded to the female gorilla and nodded obediently.

She patted her wet hands on her skirt, turned around and followed the female gorilla manager back to the cafe.

When she entered the door, she turned around and looked at the headlights of the station wagon that Akimoto Yoichi was riding in again, her eyes sparkling. She watched the lights disappear before closing the glass door of the cafe restaurant.

Today, when she was bored at home, the female gorilla store manager called her.

She ran over immediately. Fortunately, her residence was not far from here. However, Xinchuan Yuye was very satisfied with today.

Although I didn't play any games with Akimoto Yoichi, it was very interesting to listen to Akimoto Yoichi talking and communicating with others. He didn't have the disgusting hypocrisy and social etiquette of other people. His somewhat rude tone and attitude were quite fresh to Shinkawa Yuzuha.

At this moment, Yuzuha Shinkawa was already looking forward to what game she would play with Yoichi Akimoto the next time she saw him.

As for Akimoto Yoichi, he was having a headache at this time.

Good news, Ikeda Yuri no longer mutters.

Bad news, Ikeda Yuri doesn't talk but still moves around.

"Is this guy always like this when he's drunk?!"

Akimoto Yoichi, who was sitting next to Ikeda Yuri, was trying hard to hold down the other person's head as it came closer to him, to prevent him from leaving strawberry marks on his neck.

Although Ikeda Yuri is good-looking, she is passable.

But for Yoichi Akimoto who was about to go home, it would be difficult to explain to Suzuran Mari, Suzuran Ayano, and Miyama Natsuki if there was a strawberry mark left on his neck.

He will also be laughed at by Kudo Shinyu, and that guy will definitely laugh and taunt him like a little she-demon.

"Well, Yuori's drinking behavior is not very good, but the good thing is that after she shuts up and stops saying stupid things, she will slowly stop moving around. Just bear with it and it will pass."

"When we get home, she will sleep like a dead pig. No extra care will be needed for her."

"Even that guy Fuuka wouldn't get close to this guy when he's drunk. I'm the only one willing to take care of Yuori."

Sitting in the driver's seat, Otome Shimono looked through the rearview mirror at Akimoto Yoichi who was fighting with Ikeda Hanori in the back seat, and lost herself in her own memories.

These are all her experiences. Her ill-fated relationship with Ikeda Yuri has lasted for almost eight years.

In the past, she played the role that Akimoto Yoichi plays now. Now, seeing Akimoto Yoichi replacing herself, Shimono Otome still feels a little gloating.

"Oh, then Mr. Shimono, your first kiss must have been lost in Sister Ori's hands, right?"

Akimoto Yoichi covered Ikeda Yuri's whiskey-smelling mouth with his hand and asked.

"You bastard, how is it that way to talk to your teacher?" Shimono Otome crumpled the empty cigarette box in her pocket and raised her hand to flick the cigarette box onto Akimoto Yoichi's forehead.

Although it was not chalk, Shimono Otome's throwing technique was still stable and hit the target.

Looking at Akimoto Yoichi who was covering his forehead, she flicked the ash out of the window between her fingers.

"Do you think this is my first time with this girl? I already knew how to handle her before she learned how to drink. How could she take my first kiss from me?"

"Although this guy is not a very reliable guy, it should be said that she is very lucky."

"Although I have encountered some troubles so far, I have always met good people and solved the problems smoothly. When I lost my money, I met the store manager. When I didn't like living with my relatives, I met me. When I went to the University of Tokyo, I found a good professor and met a good team. And now I have met you."

If Ikeda Yuri hadn't been lucky, she would have been sold out long ago with her personality.

This should be considered a compliment, right?

Although he felt like he was being treated as a babysitter, Akimoto Yoichi still reluctantly accepted Shimono Otome's compliments.

"Since you, Mr. Shimono, have always been pestered by Sister Ori, does that mean you, Mr. Shimono, have never had a boyfriend?"

"You traitor, you still have me in your mind?" Shimono Otome scolded with a smile.

Akimoto Yoichi straightened his chest and answered without any fear: "Of course, you don't have to worry about your future. I am here to provide for your life. After all, you have been a great help to me."

Akimoto Yoichi's words sounded like a joke and a compliment, but they also contained some genuine thoughts.

Regardless of whether he has already regarded Shimono Otome as his wife, he can at least regard her as a very close person. Whether in Detsuki High School or even at the University of Tokyo, there are still many things that Akimoto Yoichi can ask Shimono Otome for help.

Saito Fuuka and Ikeda Yuri are both people Shimono Otome knows, and they are both from the Medical Science Institute of the University of Tokyo.

It can be said that Akimoto Yoichi is now far ahead of most of his peers, so it is not a bad thing to get acquainted with these sisters with status and identity from the University of Tokyo at this time.

This is all to pave the way for the future. Besides, considering that senior sister Ise Yuri will also come to the University of Tokyo next year, Akimoto Yoichi will need two years before he can officially enter the University of Tokyo. However, Akimoto Yoichi will not wait obediently for two years.

If there is any opportunity to enter the Tokyo University experience in advance, Yoichi Akimoto will not miss it. At that time, getting an internal offer and entering the Tokyo University experience server is Yoichi Akimoto's goal.

All these opportunities came about after I became familiar with Shimono Otome and took the initiative to get close to this female teacher to increase my favorability.

To survive in society, what matters is the ways of the world.

The more people you know, the more connections and channels you will naturally have.

"Hey, you little brat is getting too aggressive. Students shouldn't talk to teachers in such a arrogant way."

With the airs of a teacher, Shimono Otome gave Akimoto Yang a mild reprimand and then thanked him.

"Fuuka had called me when Yuori came here, but her phone was not connected when I called Yuori."

"I was getting anxious and thinking about whether to search all the subway stations when I received your text message."

"Haori is an idiot. Don't let her run around next time. She often loses her wallet and phone. Fuuka, that idiot, should keep a closer eye on her."

If it weren't for Akimoto Yoichi, Ikeda Yuri wouldn't know how she would have spent the day. This lady only shows her side as an elite of the University of Tokyo when she is in the laboratory. In her daily life, she is just a simpleton.

Even when she went out, it was Saito Fuuka who dressed Ikeda Yuri.

Although Shimono Otome said that she hated Ikeda Hanori, it was obvious from her expression that she was just saying it. In fact, she still couldn't let go of Ikeda Hanori in her heart.

"You're welcome. Actually, I didn't intend to help at first. It was Sister Zhi who came to me herself."

Akimoto Yoichi shrugged and said.

"Boy, since you have helped me this time and taken care of Yuori, come to my house and have a rest." Shimono Otome turned the steering wheel and drove the station wagon into the community.

"Well, it's my pleasure."

Akimoto Yoichi shrugged. What else could he say since Shimono Otome brought him here directly?

No wonder Shimono Otome didn’t ask him for his address when he got on the bus earlier.

Now that you're here, why not come in and sit down?

"Okay, here we are."

Shimono Otome stopped the car in front of a villa.

Light a cigarette and put it out.

She got out of the car and opened the door for Akimoto Yoichi, then gave instructions to Akimoto Yoichi with a cigarette in her mouth.

"Just take the guy down from the car."

"Oh." Akimoto Yoichi responded.

After unbuckling the seat belt, Akimoto Yoichi opened the car door, then picked up the drunk Ikeda Yuri and got out of the car.

Akimoto Yoichi looked up at the high-end-looking building in front of him.

The house where Shimono Otome lives is no worse than the Suzuran family and the Miyama family, or it can be said to be more luxurious.

Even before entering the house, you can see that the garden of the villa is full of various flowers and plants. In the corner of the garden there is a small pet play area with swings, slides and small houses for her little pets to play.

There is also a small pet house in the garden. There are several strings of small wind chimes hanging in front of the house. When the breeze blows, the chimes make crisp sounds.

Seeing this fairy-tale-like scenery, Akimoto Yoichi recalled what Ikeda Yuri had said before.

Don’t be fooled by Nootome’s carefree and undressed appearance, but in fact she likes cute things very much and has a very girlish heart.

"Teacher Shimono, are you renting this house?" Akimoto Yoichi followed Shimono Otome to the gate of the courtyard and joked in a joking tone.

As an elite from the University of Tokyo, Shimonoseki Otome's life will naturally not be bad.

"Rent a hell of a house, this is my own house."

Shimono Otome rolled her eyes at Akimoto Yoichi who was holding Ikeda Haori behind her, walked to the door and knocked.

Looking at Shimono Otome who was knocking on the door instead of using the key to open it, Akimoto Yoichi said suspiciously again: "Then why don't you use the key? Since you are going back to your own home, shouldn't you use the key to open the door?"

Seeing that Akimoto Yoichi didn't believe it, Shimono Otome didn't say anything and grabbed Akimoto Yoichi's ear.

When Akimoto Yoichi's ears were pulled and he felt pain, he didn't have time to make a sound.

The door opened, and the face that emerged from the door was none other than a girl that Akimoto Yoichi was more familiar with.

"Oh, I forgot that you, Nagase, are living in Mr. Shimono's house." He remembered when he saw the girl wearing furry pajamas.

No wonder Shimono Otome pulled his ear and it was he who threw Nagase Kumari to Shimono Otome.

It's just that Akimoto Yoichi had forgotten about this matter just now, and Shimono Otome was unhappy with him as the culprit.

Before Nagase Kumari could react, Shimono Otome took out the bag that the female gorilla had packed for Akimoto Yoichi and handed it to Nagase Kumari.

"I'll save this for you to eat tonight."

When Qiu Benyang saw this, he didn't say anything.

The bag was filled with leftover pasta and burgers from the limited-time free challenge.

Although the female gorilla was asked by Akimoto Yoichi to take the food back to eat, now that Shimono Otome was doing her a favor, Akimoto Yoichi had no objection since he had eaten the food himself.

"It smells so good, thank you Mr. Shimono and Mr. Huangmao!" Nagase Kumari's attention was immediately focused on the bag.

"Just thank me, why thank him? He didn't give it to you."

Shimono Otome complained as she led Akimoto Yoichi into this high-end house that looked like a small villa.

"Okay, come in, throw Yuori on the sofa. Oh, Nagase, remember to pad the sofa with a towel. Yuori sweats a lot, don't let her sweat get on the sofa."

"Okay, Mr. Shimono."

After responding to Shimono Otome, Nagase Kumari, contrary to her hot girl attitude at school, obediently carried her bag and turned around to do what Shimono Otome had just asked her to do.

Looking at her figure, Akimoto Yoichi didn't care too much.

Although he was the one who handed Nagase Kumari to Shimono Otome, the two had no contact after that, and he didn't plan to have any relationship with Nagase Kumari, after all, there was still Kudo Kokoro.

Compared to Nagase Kumari, Akimoto Yoichi is more concerned about Shimono Otome's family at this time.

The interior of the young female teacher's villa is full of warmth and loveliness, revealing her love for small animals and sweet things everywhere.

There are several cute animal illustrations hanging on the wall of the living room. The little animals in the pictures are either playing or napping, full of childlike fun.

There are several pillows with kitten and puppy patterns scattered on the light pink fabric sofa, and there are several cute rabbits embroidered on the carpet next to the sofa. On the glass coffee table in front of the sofa is a set of exquisite tea sets, with bird and flower patterns painted on the teacups, and a small ceramic rabbit ornament next to it.

On the other side of the living room, there was obviously no more furniture prepared for entertaining guests. Instead, a desk was placed towards the floor-to-ceiling window. On the desk was a desk lamp with a lamp base in the shape of a cute cat. The bookshelf was filled with various books and picture books related to small animals.

The largest part of the villa is the bookshelf, which, in addition to photos and books, also has some cute animal dolls. The carpet around the desk is printed with various animal footprints, as if an animal had just passed by.

From the open bedroom door on the side, you can see that the bed is covered with sheets and quilt covers printed with kitten and puppy patterns. There is a night light on the bedside table with stars and moon patterns painted on the lampshade.

There are small animal stickers on the door of the wardrobe. When you open the wardrobe, you will see it is filled with various sweet-style clothes. There are also several animal-shaped ornaments hanging on the hangers.

There were several animal-shaped cosmetics on the dressing table, and a string of animal pendants hung on the storage box mirror. It didn't look like it was usually used by Shimono Otome.

The layout of the entire villa is full of warmth and cuteness. Every corner reveals the teacher's love for small animals and sweet things, as if entering a girlish world.

This house does not quite match the temperament of Shimono Otome, but it is more suitable for Nagase Kumari, who takes off her gyaru outfit and jewelry and wears pink fluffy pajamas, looking like a trendy girl.

Of course, Akimoto Yoichi didn't intend to praise Nagase Kumari. "Don't look around, little brat. Leave the haori over there. The sofa is over there."

Shimono Otome turned her head and said to Akimoto Yoichi who was looking at her house.

"I got it." Akimoto Yoichi stood at the door carrying Ikeda Yuori, took off his own shoes and took off Ikeda Yuori's as well.

Although Ikeda Yuri was wearing the same black stockings as Nishida Chizuru, she would feel guilty about the drunk and reckless lady's mistake, at least she would do so when she was sober.

With his hands through Ikeda Yuri's legs, Akimoto Yoichi carried her into Shimono Otome's home.

When you walk into this house, you can indeed feel that the temperature has risen a lot. Even the clothes that Akimoto Yoichi is wearing feel a bit hot indoors.

You don't have to worry about catching a cold if you throw the Ikeda haori on the sofa.

However, when Akimoto Yoichi walked to the sofa, he found that there were a lot of comic materials on the sofa, and some drawings had fallen on the ground.

It seemed that when Akimoto Yoichi, Shimono Otome and Ikeda Hana came back just now, Nagase Kumari was sitting on the sofa drawing.

"Sorry, Mr. Yellow Hair, let me clean it up." At this time, Nagase Kumari, who had returned, lifted her hair and trotted over.

She spoke to Akimoto Yoichi who was holding Ikeda Yuri, and swiftly lay down on the sofa and started to tidy up the things on it.

It seemed that she was worried that Akimoto Yoichi would be too tired holding a young lady, so Nagase Kumari packed up her things a little roughly, and her drawing was crumpled and stuffed aside.

"Okay, that's enough."

"Oh." Akimoto Yoichi put Ikeda Yuri on the sofa.

He was about to let go when Shimono Otome walked into the room and reminded him, "Hey, hey, brat, did you put a towel under the haori? This guy sweats a lot, and his sweat smells like alcohol after drinking. Don't dirty my sofa."

This chain-smoking female teacher herself doesn't seem to care about the smell of second-hand smoke at all, but is concerned about the smell of alcohol?
Akimoto Yoichi looked at Nagase Kumari helplessly. Nagase Kumari chuckled and turned to get a towel.

"Okay, I got it." Akimoto Yoichi could only lift Ikeda Yuori up from the sofa again.

And Nagase Kumari went to get a towel and placed it on the sofa as Shimono Otome said.

Only then did Akimoto Yoichi let Ikeda Yuri go.

Looking at Ikeda Yuri who was still sleeping soundly, Akimoto Yoichi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When he was about to say that he was leaving, Shimono Otome gave instructions for the next step.

"Go take a shower, brat. Take off your clothes and let Nagase wash them. When you're done with the shower, your clothes will be almost dry, and then you can get out."

Akimoto Yoichi looked at his clothes which were stained with the loli's saliva, pasta and the smell of alcohol.

If I go back like this, I will definitely be interrogated by Natsuki, which is really not convenient.

Although it seemed that Shimono Otome had arranged it, and took him to her house without saying a word and let him take a bath, Akimoto Yoichi did not pursue the matter further.

Anyway, Shimono Otome is one of us, and this female teacher's home is also our home.

"Okay, I will treat this place as my own home. It will be my home sooner or later anyway." Akimoto Yoichi calmly unbuttoned his coat.

Then, as expected, the Shimono Otome who came into the room sprayed back.

"Shut up, brat. Don't you know how to behave yourself in front of your classmates? Nagase, take this brat to the bathroom and help him wash and dry his clothes."

"Okay, I understand." Nagase Kumari responded to Shimono Otome in the room.

She turned and nodded to Akimoto Yoichi, indicating that he should follow her.

It has been a while since Akimoto Yoichi forced her to be married to Shimono Otome, and Nagase Kumari has become accustomed to living here.

Compared to the cheap rental house I lived in before, it is naturally more comfortable for me to live in Shimono Otome's home now. Having a teacher around is also a great help.

As they walked, Nagase Kumari asked Akimoto Yoichi.

"Who is this sister? Why do I feel like you, Mr. Huangmao, always seem to know so many people?"

"It seems like there are new characters around you every once in a while?"

"It always feels like your life is completely different from ours. Why is that?"

Because I am the chosen one.

This is not easy to say, Akimoto Yoichi stopped in front of a cabinet.

"Layout, because your layout is too small." Akimoto Yoichi looked at the cute decorations in the hall and the photos of Ueno Otome's school days placed on the cabinet.

Fortunately, although Shimono Otome had some dark circles under her eyes during her school days, she had a lollipop in her mouth instead of the cigarette that Akimoto Yoichi was worried about.

When she was a student, Shimono Otome also dressed like a hot girl, but her ears and fingers were clean without any exaggerated jewelry, so she didn't give people a disgusting feeling.

What’s more important is that Shimono Otome’s face now looks no different from when she was a student. Has this female teacher been mature since she was young?

It’s just because her hair changed from shoulder-length to waist-length, which makes her look more feminine.

"Situation? What situation? You can tease Mr. Shimono so blatantly and express your affection for him. Is this your situation as a student who is so aggressive towards his teacher?"

Leaning against the bathroom door, Nagase Kumari said as she looked at Akimoto Yoichi who was selecting photos from the cabinet.

Of course, calling Akimoto Yoichi Chongshi was a joke.

What Nagase Hisari wanted to express was that Akimoto Yoichi's attitude towards people was not like that of a first-year student who dared to say and do anything.

"Of course, life is so short, why not take advantage of the opportunity? Besides, I am not full of trembling. The women around me are all outstanding and capable. They are all my boosters."

After looking at the photo of Shimotsuke Otome in her elementary school wearing a cute princess dress in her hand, and then looking at the photo of Shimotsuke Otome performing in a band she formed in junior high school in her other hand, Akimoto Yoichi hesitated for a second and then decided to take them all.

As he spoke, Akimoto Yoichi reached out and picked up the photo frame of Naoto Otome from the shelf.

In front of Nagase Kumari, Akimoto Yoichi opened the photo frame and took out the photos inside.

"Oh, so you don't like useless girls?" asked Nagase Kumari with a smile.

Akimoto Yoichi held the photo of Shimono Otome in his hand, turned his head and looked at Nagase Kumari walking towards the bathroom, and said: "That's not necessarily the case. If I really like her, even if she is a little useless idiot, I will be happy to be with her every day."

The type of girl that he would like must be a cute and adorable little loli like Yuzuha Shinkawa.

Looking at that child, you will feel relaxed and happy.

It’s soft and can make it meow with just one click if you touch its head.

"I see." Nagase Kumari nodded.

Akimoto Yoichi walked past her, glanced at her and asked, "Why are you asking this? Please hold the photo of the maiden for me, don't get it wet, I will take it back later."

After handing the photos he had chosen to Nagase Kumari, Akimoto Yoichi walked into the bathroom.

He really did seem to have returned to his own home, picking up the clothes basket that was placed next to the washing machine at the bathroom door.

Entered the bathroom and closed the door.

Soon, the sound of Akimoto Yoichi taking off his clothes was heard from the bathroom.

Nagase Kumari looked at the photo of Shimono Otome in her hand, then looked at the vague figure on the bathroom door. She joked, "Do you want my stockings or masks of Shimono Sensei? That would be much more exciting than saving these photos."

Unexpectedly, Akimoto Yoichi refused without hesitation.

"No, but don't treat me like a pervert. The maiden doesn't need to rush to the tower so quickly. The time is not right yet. Keep her for another two years."

What do you mean by raising her for two years? It's as if Akimoto Yoichi is the elder and Shimono Otome is the younger student.

Hearing Akimoto Yoichi's outrageous words, Nagase Kumari was amused.

Before this, she knew that the yellow-haired guy in front of her would be very interesting, and she was mentally prepared for him, but every time she came into contact with him, her rhythm would be disrupted by his behavior and words.

Wrapping the photo in her hand with a tissue beside her, Nagase Kumari chatted, "Who is this person you brought back? It seems to be someone you know, Mr. Shimono?"

"Yes, he's the teaching assistant from the University of Tokyo. It sounds like the students from Otome High School and the University of Tokyo have a pretty good relationship." Akimoto Yoichi opened the bathroom door.

His muscular upper body was revealed through the crack in the door, and his clothes were piled in a clothes basket at the door.

Nagase Kumari looked in the clothes basket and found no underwear.

She reached out and grabbed the bathroom door that Akimoto Yoichi was about to close.

"Todai, you don't seem to be such a kind person, Huangmao-kun. If it was a girl from Todai, you would be much more enthusiastic. After all, you are also applying to Todai, right?"

"By the way, take out your underwear. You don't want to go back in dirty underwear, do you?"

"We are classmates, you are not shy, are you? You let a girl in the same grade wash your underwear, you are so innocent, aren't you?"

Akimoto Yoichi glanced at the hot girl who was pulling the door open with a displeased look and said, "Let go, are you a nympho? Pulling the bathroom door of a boy of your grade."

"Oh? You're not going to be shy, are you, Mr. Huangmao? It's okay, I don't mind washing your underwear for you, although I've never washed underwear for anyone else."

Nagase Kumari continued to open the door with a smile.

"Tsk, I'm not wearing anything." Akimoto Yoichi replied unhappily.

After a few seconds of silence, Nagase Kumari finally reacted.

"Is this true? Wow!"

The guy finally let go of the hand that was holding the bathroom door, and Akimoto Yoichi closed the bathroom door smoothly.

"It's uncomfortable to carry. The bag is too small. I need a bigger one."

"It's the same as wearing a bra."

"Some people like Band-Aids, some people like slings, and some people are suited to large cups."

"Oh, I see." Looking at the reflection of Akimoto Yoichi's body outline on the bathroom door, Nagase Kumari turned her blushing face away, lowered her head, picked up the clothes basket on the ground and walked towards the washing machine.

As expected, I still can’t guess what Akimoto Yang will say next.

Holding Akimoto Yoichi's clothes, Nagase Kumari opened the washing machine.

When the sound of the shower was heard in the bathroom, the sound of the washing machine running also sounded almost at the same time.

The sounds from the washing machine and the bathroom merged into one.

The noisy sound calmed the two people inside and outside the bathroom from the embarrassment just now.

However, the sound of the shower soon stopped. Akimoto Yoichi only showered for five minutes, and Nagase Kumari couldn't help but shake her head.

"Woo~" Soaking in the bathtub, Akimoto Yoichi made a comfortable and refreshing sound.

There was an ashtray next to the bathtub. It was obvious that the bathtub water, which had been kept warm, was originally prepared by Shimono Otome for herself.

Now it is given to Akimoto Yoichi to enjoy.

Feeling the warm water flowing over his body, gradually warming up his body which was a little cold outside, Akimoto Yoichi couldn't help but squint his eyes in enjoyment.

It’s okay to soak for a little longer and go back later.

Anyway, it’s already so late today.

"That kid, the kid you were pushing in school today, seemed very close to you?"

The voice of Nagase Kumari came from outside the bathroom. This guy hasn't left yet.

Akimoto Yoichi picked up a towel and covered his face. He replied while lying in the bathtub, "I don't know her well. I just owe her a favor because I dismantled her wheelchair."

"Oh, so that's it. I thought she was your new sister." Nagase Kumari outside the door nodded.

Akimoto Yoichi was surprised and said, "Huh? No, why are you asking me about my business? Shouldn't you ask about the relationship between that troublemaker and Midori Miyama? Aren't you very familiar with Midori Miyama? Don't you care about Midori Miyama and Nobuhiko Osawa? Those two guys are competing in the baseball club. Don't just talk about me here."

Doesn’t this guy’s attitude remind Akimoto Yoichi of what Teacher Shimono Otome said in the Mother Gorilla Coffee Shop?

It was really confusing. Akimoto Yoichi couldn't remember what he did to this hot girl.

But he always kept his distance from the hot girl outside the door.

"Hmm? As for Otaku-kun and Ozawa and the others, it's okay. If they want to do it, let them do it. It's not a bad thing anyway, right?" Nagase Kumari's very calm voice came from outside the door.

Akimoto Yoichi raised his eyebrows. What did she mean?
"Oh? If you don't care, then they are wasting their energy? It's meaningless to fight with two roosters? Clown?"

Although it's none of my business, I feel bad seeing these two guys slacking off at each other in the baseball club all day long.

This made Akimoto Yoichi feel a little sympathetic towards them.

But the dog-licking disease is difficult to cure.

"Clown? That's not the case." Nagase Hisari squatted in front of the washing machine, hugged her knees and looked at the boys' school uniforms spinning in the drum washing machine and said, "It's just that I'm not that positive about love or something, or in fact, I don't like love that much. I just didn't know what to do before, and I didn't know how to do it. I was just lost all the time."

"Have you found the way now?" Akimoto Yoichi asked casually.

At Shimono Otome's house, at this time, Nagase Kumari has removed all elements of a hot girl.

Just wearing clean furry pajamas and a simple hairpin on her head.

When she opened the door, Akimoto Yoichi was still a little uncomfortable seeing her normal appearance.

Akimoto Yoichi was used to the way she and he fought each other in the amusement park.

"Yes! I found it. Now I am very satisfied with my current life. I have Mr. Shimono who provides me with accommodation and food, and I have trustworthy friends. I have found something I like to do."

Nagase Hisari's tone became much more relaxed, and she immediately became refreshed when talking about happy things.

"Oh, it seems that you are still taking the activities of the comic research club seriously?"

After looking at the time, Akimoto Yoichi continued to lie in the bathtub.

"It's okay. I didn't have much interest in it at first, but then I thought I might like drawing comics, so I wanted to try to support myself with comics."

Nagase Kumari opened the stopped washing machine, took out Akimoto Yoichi's school uniform, put it in the basket and shook it.

After tidying up the clothes, she put Akimoto Yoichi's clothes into the dryer.

As the dryer started up, Akimoto Yoichi would probably go home too, Nagase Kumari thought, hugging her knees.

"Comics, although I'm not trying to persuade you not to do comics, you should know that cartoonists and novelists are two very hard jobs. Some art students who didn't pass the entrance exam go to give speeches in bars, and some who write novels are medical students, or electricians, cooks, and the like."

"If you have any special skills, don't become a cartoonist or a novelist."

"But this is just my personal opinion. Only you know whether you are happy as a cartoonist or not. I have a novelist around me. She used to work from nine to five and stayed up all night. I gave her yang energy and she is now much healthier and has a regular life."

Akimoto Yoichi stood up from the bathtub, walked out of the bathtub and picked up a towel to wipe himself.

"But since you've found something you like, then go for it. There will definitely be pain, but how much happiness you have depends on yourself. Now you are a student, so you don't have to think about becoming a cartoonist in the future. Now it's enough for you to relax and enjoy your hobbies. In the future, you will know that student life is the happiest, so don't waste it."

This wasn't much of an encouragement, it was just Akimoto Yoichi talking to himself.

However, after listening to what Akimoto Yoichi said, Nagase Kumari felt a lot more relaxed.

She thought too much. She had never thought so much before, but now she was thinking too far ahead.

Many things cannot be decided now. All we can do now is to add more good options for our future.

"I understand." Nagase Kumari nodded and said while looking at the countdown displayed on the dryer.

"Okay, Mr. Huangmao, your clothes are dry."

The voice of Nagase Kumari came from outside the door.

Recovering his thoughts, Akimoto Yoichi pushed open the bathroom door and picked up the clothes in the basket at the door.

Looking at the clothes that have been washed clean and exuding a fresh smell of laundry detergent.

Picking up the neatly folded clothes from the basket, Akimoto Yang glanced at Nagase Kumari who was staring at him with squinting eyes, then closed the door and said.

"Since you are focusing your energy on your hobbies now, you should be careful to keep a distance from the person you are flirting with, so as not to be stabbed in the back by some jealous lunatic. This is the payment for washing my clothes. We don't owe each other anything now."

Akimoto Yoichi's kind words came as a bit of a surprise.

Before Nagase Kumari could figure it out, Akimoto Yoichi came out of the bathroom after putting on his clothes.

He obviously didn't intend to explain anything further to Nagase Kumari. He simply reached into Nagase Kumari's pocket, took out the photos of Shimono Otome, and walked out of the bathroom.

"Otome, I'm going back."

"Oh, don't linger outside on the way, just go home, do you want me to take you home?"

"Forget it, if you're willing to take me back, why are you still staying in the room?"

"You know what's going on here? Get lost now!"

"Okay, see you tomorrow..."

After Akimoto Yoshi left, Shimono Otome walked out of the room with a cigarette in her mouth.

Looking at Nagase Kumari, who was ignored by Akimoto Yoichi and was leaning against the bathroom door looking out the window with a smile.

She sighed and asked.

"Should we chase him out and make him stay here overnight?"

"No, I'm very satisfied with the current situation. Just being friends who can be honest with each other is fine."

"Then please prepare another tub of bath water for me. I don't want to bathe in the water used by this brat. I'm afraid I'll get pregnant. Nagase, do you want to bathe in his bath water?"

"..."
