Tokyo: Let the wicked women pay the price!

An awkward atmosphere formed in the stairwell.

Sensing Hanako's unconscious swaying, her words "Let's go buy clothes" sounded pale and powerless.

You clearly intend to see this through to the end...

But this place simply doesn't allow it.

In the bustling stairwell, even a simple kiss attracts countless stares.

So even though Hanako was sitting on Fujino's lap, rubbing his anterior cruciate ligament gently, he could only steel himself and say no.

Feeling her burning body, Fujino pressed his forehead against Hanako's chin: "No, we can't take it anymore, we're outside."

Hanako's eyes were still glazed over, but she had already realized that her behavior was inappropriate.

Fujino's body didn't lie; he liked himself.

That's alright.

Anyway, we're in a battle royale phase where everyone has to rely on their own abilities, so no one should call anyone else despicable.

As for the mark that Saki left on Fujino.

She will try to verify it.

Hanako gradually stood up, feeling a cool breeze blow past her crotch, and couldn't help but shiver.

She looked up at Fujino's lips; it was the lip gloss she had left behind.

Hanako reached out and gently wiped it off for him, then took out the lipstick from her bag and looked at Fujino with tender eyes: "It's time to put on lipstick again, Kazuhiko-kun."

Fujino did not struggle or resist, letting Hanako do as she pleased.

Seeing that the misty look in Hanako's eyes hadn't yet dissipated as she carefully applied moisturizing lip balm to his lips, he felt a slight warmth in his heart.

No one dislikes being noticed by a beautiful woman.

Fujino is no exception.

He gently stroked Hanako's head: "Hanako-chan, want to go grab a drink later?"

A slight tremor came from his palm. Fujino looked at Hanako and shook his head, waiting for her to continue.

Hanako put away her lipstick and smiled mischievously, "I need to go buy you some clothes first."

She held Fujino's slightly shed wool coat in one hand: "This coat must be quite old."

"I didn't know you before, so that's fine. But from now on, you should have new clothes to wear every year, I'm telling you~"

Sensing the genuine emotions revealed in Hanako's rare, charming tone, Fujino opened his mouth slightly, but didn't know what to say.

Whether in his past life or this life, he often plays the role of caring for and loving others.

I rarely receive the kind of affection that Hanako gives me.

Fujino savored the lingering sweetness of the citrus lipstick on his lips, watching Hanako's long silver hair flutter as she turned her head and her eyes redden slightly with emotion.

He choked up a little.

For a moment, I didn't know what to say.

Suddenly, he felt Hanako's arm wrap around his arm and hold him tightly.

"Stop thinking about it~ Let's go!"

Just like when they first met today, she grabbed Fujino's hand and ran towards the building that symbolized the pinnacle of Tokyo menswear.

Although her legs were still a little weak from the earlier entanglement, her steps were surprisingly firm at this moment.

Fujino took two steps to catch up with Hanako, who turned around and smiled at him.

They slowly walked into the shopping mall together.

......

Brunello Cucinelli store.

The sales assistant was showing Hanako a cashmere coat.

"Madam, this will definitely look good on the gentleman. Why don't you try it on first?"

Hanako took the coat, held it up in front of Fujino, nodded, and said to him, "Want to try it on?"

Before Fujino could reply, she instructed the sales assistant, "Please add a cashmere sweater as well."

"No problem, madam."

Within minutes, the sales assistant returned with three cashmere sweaters of different colors, showing them off to Hanako as if she were showing off her achievement.

"Give it a try, Kazuhiko-kun."

Fujino couldn't resist her and was pushed into the fitting room.

......

On the same floor of the shopping mall.

On the other side of the courtyard.

Takanashi Riki rested her chin on her hand, looking at the various kinds of men's clothing.

She was conflicted.

This is the first time she's given a gift to a man. What kind of gift should she buy?

If you buy clothes directly, whether it's an outerwear or an innerwear, they are very likely to not fit properly, which may leave the other person with the impression that you are not careful.

Perfume and similar items are highly personal, reflecting not so much taste as personal preference.

Accessories like ties or belts always feel a bit intimate, even implying that the other person is being tied up, which doesn't seem appropriate...

As for scarves... wouldn't giving a scarf as the first gift you give someone be a bit too ambiguous?

After all, in Tokyo, it's usually high school couples who exchange scarves to express their affection.

It was just a minor character named Fujino. The reason I gave him the gift was simply to ease the tension and to further investigate his background.

Is it necessary to go to this extent?

As she was struggling with her decision, Riki looked up and saw Hanako and Fujino smiling and shoving each other in the Brunello Cucinelli store across the street.

Hey—

That man looks like Fujino.

Who is that woman next to him?

Li hope frowned.

Is she Fujino's girlfriend or lover?

As soon as she started working, she immediately began inquiring within the medical institution.

I haven't heard my colleagues mention anything about him dating or getting married.

That woman?

Li hope's steps had become smaller and faster as she walked towards the other store.

That woman is too dazzling.

Wearing a white coat, her silver hair looked as smooth as silk under the soft lights of the mall.

Who is this woman?

Does this count as part of understanding Fujino?

She frowned.

I guess I just wanted to learn more about Fujino.

Standing in front of the Brunello Cucinelli store, Lixi looked around the store.

The two figures have disappeared?

For some reason, she breathed a sigh of relief and felt a sense of ease.

It must have been an illusion. I think it was just a hallucination caused by my constant thinking about investigating Fujino.

"Ma'am, are you buying clothes for your loved one or a family member?"

The sales assistant's voice woke Lixi up.

She looked around and found herself standing blankly in the middle of the store.

Well... if you're caught peeping through a doorway, you can apologize and leave immediately.

But if you're already standing in the store, you can't just walk away without saying anything.

She felt a little embarrassed.

But what should we say?

For the first time, Lixi felt somewhat embarrassed by something so foolish.

Fortunately, her suit and coat looked well-made and expensive, so the sales assistant was more polite to her.

She hesitated for a long time, and when she saw the sales assistant's stiff, professional smile begin to stiffen slightly, she finally spoke: "Just now, was there a gentleman, very handsome, about 180cm tall, with a woman with silver hair?"

The sales assistant gave her a suspicious look.

What's going on?

Are they here to catch someone cheating?

Should we say yes or no?

Seeing her hesitant expression, Lixi instantly understood her hesitation, and her already flushed face became even more vibrant.

"Actually, I'm their friend. I only came over because I saw them. I hadn't seen them in a long time and wanted to chat for a bit."

Seeing that the sales assistant still looked somewhat skeptical, she waved her hand and said, "I'll just look around here for a bit and pick out an outfit for my friend. You'll see when they come out."

The sales assistant gradually lowered her guard, sensing that Lixi's aura didn't resemble that of a wife caught in adultery.

"Then you can keep an eye on it."

As Lixi browsed the store, she kept hearing some indistinct sounds coming from the fitting rooms as she approached them.

It sounds like Fujino's voice.

Is he trying on clothes?

Is he commenting on the clothes...?
