Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

Rika Maejima glanced at the timid and submissive Shoko Shiina beside her, and suddenly a brilliant idea struck her!

correct!

Didn't Kamishiro-kun say that Xiangzi could come to him with any problems he encountered?

Isn’t that just perfect?

Xiangzi's mother had previously invited her to have dinner at her home on Saturday.

Rika Maejima remembered that Shoko had also mentioned inviting Kamishiro-kun to her home.

If she makes up an excuse, can't she go shopping with Kamishiro-kun and bring him some souvenirs?

Do it when you think of it.

Rika Maejima immediately dialed Shiro Kaede's number.

Although Shiina Shoko, who was standing to the side, didn't know what was going on, she secretly glanced at Maejima Rika's phone and was surprised to find that Rika was calling Kamishiro Hakufu.

Curious about what the two were talking about, she quickly leaned closer to listen.

The call was quickly answered.

Rika Maejima could hardly contain her excitement.

After all, this was the first time Kamishiro-kun had answered his own call!

Her voice sounded a little nervous as she asked, "Hello, is this Kamishiro-kun?"

Bai Feng's puzzled voice came from the other end of the phone: "It's me. Why are you calling all of a sudden?"

"No, it's just something I wanted to ask you about Xiangzi's situation."

"Hmm? Has something happened to Shiina-san?"

"Well, not really. Actually, I just wanted to ask you, did you also promise Xiangzi that you would go to her house for dinner on Saturday?"

"Well, what happened?"

"Ahem, actually, I was also invited by Xiangzi's mother, so I'll be having dinner at Xiangzi's house with you on Saturday."

"Oh, that makes sense. After all, you've been taking care of Shiina-san during this time, so it's normal for her mother to invite you."

"Hey, aren't you going to say anything?"

"Hmm? What am I supposed to say?"

"I thought you'd be really annoyed and unhappy if you found out I went there too."

"No, or rather, why do you think that way?"

"Hey, hey, hey, does that mean you don't hate me at all, Kamishiro-kun? Could it be that you've even fallen for me?" Maejima Rika suddenly became excited!

A somewhat helpless voice came from the other end of the phone: "I didn't say that. Don't misinterpret my words. And if that's all you're saying, then I'm hanging up."

"Wait, wait, don't hang up! I have something else to say. Actually, the reason I came to see you this time is..."

"Just what?"

"I feel like it would be a bit strange to go to Xiangzi's house without bringing back a souvenir, but I don't know what kind of souvenir to buy. How about you go shopping with me sometime, Kamishiro-kun? Of course, this isn't a date, it's just a normal shopping trip, definitely not a date!"

"Um... are you guys going to buy souvenirs? I want to go too, Shoko." Shiina Shoko, who had been eavesdropping for a long time, spoke up hesitantly.

"Xiangzi?!" Maejima Rika looked at Xiangzi with a bewildered expression, not quite understanding why she also said she suddenly wanted to go.

And was Xiangzi listening to his phone call with Jinshiro the whole time?

But before she could even complain, she heard Bai Feng's reply.

"Alright then, tomorrow at 5 pm. I still have some time before work. I can buy some souvenirs elsewhere without any problem. You can also bring Xiangzi along. After all, we're going to her house, and she should know what her parents like."

Huh, they actually agreed?

Rika Maejima was prepared to be rejected by Haku, but she didn't expect him to agree.

Although we were supposed to bring Xiangzi along, it didn't really matter.

She was already happy as long as she could go shopping with Kamishiro-kun!

“Okay, see you tomorrow afternoon then,” Rika Maejima replied excitedly.

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

After turning off her phone, Rika Maejima happily shook Shoko Shiina's shoulder:

"Xiangzi, Kamishiro-kun is going shopping with us tomorrow!"

(＠＠;)ヾ(≧▽≦*)o

Although Shiina Shoko was a little dizzy from being shaken, she was very happy to know that Kamishiro Shiro Kaede would be going out with them tomorrow.

"Wait!" Maejima Rika suddenly seemed to realize that something was wrong.

I feel like I've forgotten something.

After thinking for a while.

Rika Maejima finally remembered something, and she immediately covered her head, feeling extremely annoyed.

It’s over.

I was so busy inviting Kamishiro-kun out on a date that I was busy inviting him out.

I forgot to ask him what his relationship was with that Mizuno Maki.

Oh well, I'll ask Kamishiro-kun directly during our date tomorrow.

-

Walking back to the store.

Mizuno Maki noticed that Kamishiro Hakufu was on the phone with someone.

She couldn't hear what the people on the other end were saying.

But you can still hear what Kamishiro-kun is saying.

Until the call ended.

Mizuno Maki has already figured out that Kamishiro Hakufu has probably made an appointment with someone to go out and buy souvenirs together tomorrow.

The purpose of buying souvenirs was also to go to Shiina Shoko's house.

But was the person who spoke to Kamishiro a boy or a girl?

This person has Kamishiro-kun's phone number, so they must be a very close person.

After all, in Japan, only people who are very close to each other can usually get each other's phone numbers.

It's fair to say that phone numbers are even harder to obtain from others than LINE numbers.

And that person actually has Kamishiro-kun's phone number, so they must be a very close person, right?

Who exactly is that person?

Although Mizuno Maki wasn't entirely sure who it was, it was good that there was one more person going to Shiina Shoko's house.

That's fine too, isn't it?

At least there won't be a situation where Kamishiro-kun is the only one facing their entire family.

That situation is like Shiina Shoko taking Kamishiro to meet her parents.

That really does seem like the case.

So it's actually a good thing that there's one more person going to Shiina Shoko's house now.

No, why should I care about these things?

Anyway, I don't like Kamishiro-kun, so it's none of my business if he goes to meet other people's parents.

Why have I been thinking about strange things lately?

What happened to me?

Maki Mizuno couldn't help but pat her face, trying to clear her head and stop thinking about all that nonsense.

"Why did you suddenly slap your own face?" Kamishiro Shiro had only just hung up the phone when he saw her slapping her own face.

"No, it's nothing." Mizuno Maki's face flushed slightly, and she quickly turned her face away, not daring to look at Bai Feng again.

Although Shiro Shiro didn't know what she was doing, since she had said so herself, he wouldn't ask any further questions.

soon.

He and Maki Mizuno both came to the "BLUE EDEN" café.

I just arrived and I saw Yui Nagasawa again.

There were two boxes next to her, one of which had the Sony TV logo on it.

The other box also clearly displays the PS4 logo.

Nagasawa Yui, hands on her hips, complained somewhat angrily:

"too late!"

"Why is school only getting out now?"

"I'm starving!"

"I've told you several times, you should go and report this to the school." Shinobu Shiro gave her a disgruntled look, then went to open the shop by himself.

Yui Nagasawa looked at the key in his hand and suddenly remembered something: "Oh right, I remember there's a spare key besides the one you have. Give it to me quickly, then I won't have to wait for you at the door anymore."

Shiro Kaede paused as he inserted the key, turned to look at her, and pondered:

"Giving you the spare key is fine."

"But I almost forgot about it if you hadn't mentioned it."

"I gave my spare key to Ms. Kawai Kana, the shop manager, not long ago, and she hasn't returned it to me yet."

"I'll give it to you when I get it back."

“Okay.” Nagasawa Yui didn’t mind waiting a while.

While waiting for Bai Feng to open the door.
