A dozen minutes later...

"Senior, please try this crepe."

Ayane Takeda took a bite of the crepe in her hand, her eyes lit up, and then she held the crepe up in front of Eri Aragaki, indicating, "It's really delicious."

Along the way, they would go into any snack or food specialty store they saw and browse around. After they finished shopping, almost all four of them bought a snack.

Ayane Takeda bought crepes, Erina bought a takoyaki, and Akane Natsume bought a taiyaki.

Eri Aragaki bought bubble tea, which she bought because she happened to see that the snack shop selling takoyaki also sold bubble tea.

Unlike later when Chinese tea drinks became popular all over the world, and even Tokyo was filled with milk tea shops.

During this period in Japan, there are really very few bubble tea shops...

Eri Aragaki doesn't actually like milk tea very much. She prefers low-sugar tea drinks that are sweet but not too sweet, and have the aroma of tea without the bitterness.

So she only bought it now out of nostalgia.

She also asked Ayane Takeda and the others if they wanted some.

However, Ayane Takeda and the others had already said enough...

It's a bit strange.

At that moment, Eri Aragaki looked down upon hearing this.

The crepe still bears the bite mark left by Ayane Takeda, and a little cream has squeezed out from the gap.

However, she hesitated for a moment...

It wasn't because she disliked that Ayane Takeda had taken a bite, but rather...

I feel this behavior is too intimate. Isn't this...isn't this just an indirect kiss?

But she quickly realized what was happening.

Moreover, her current obsession with this is utter nonsense.

Women don't care about these things at all. It's perfectly normal for girls to hold hands, share snacks, or drink from the same cup of milk tea when they get close.

Moreover, women often have smaller appetites, except for those "piggy girls" like David Dai.

If you have a small appetite, it's best to share with someone. If you have a boyfriend, you can share with him. If you don't, then your friends can help you finish it.

So Eri Aragaki reluctantly took a bite.

The crepe was still warm, the cream was quite sweet, but acceptable, and the strawberry jam had a good balance of sweet and sour flavors. The edges of the crepe were also a little crispy when you bit into it.

She chewed twice, then swallowed what was in her mouth and praised, "It's...it's delicious."

Actually, she felt something was off inside; the aroma of that bite had made her dizzy.

"Nie Sang, you should try mine too, and I'd like to have a sip of your milk tea."

At this moment, Erina Aragaki also came over, holding a box of takoyaki in her hand. She picked up one with a bamboo skewer, held it to Erina Aragaki's mouth, and said impatiently.

"Okay, go ahead and drink it."

Eri Aragaki handed over her bubble tea and then opened her mouth to accept Erina's feeding.

She nodded as she chewed, "This is delicious too."

Erina Aragaki took the milk tea, took a sip, and a satisfied expression appeared on her face.

"Mine is pretty good too, why don't you try some?"

Natsume Akane generously shared her taiyaki at this moment, her gaze falling on Aragaki Eri as she smiled and handed her the taiyaki.

Eri Aragaki took it and took a bite.

"Mmm, delicious."

She also gave a compliment, praising whoever feeds her.

And so... the girls took turns trying each other's snacks, eating the food they bought along the way without any restraint.

Ayane Takeda tried Akane Natsume's taiyaki, Erina took a bite of Ayane Takeda's crepe, and Akane Natsume also forked a takoyaki.

Basically, everyone tried the things they had bought.

Eri Aragaki felt like she was bewitched by the fragrance...

In her past life, she had never experienced such a scene. At most, she and her few close friends would eat separately and resolutely refuse to touch each other's saliva.

But now...

She really doesn't mind these things!

……

After enjoying the snacks along the way, they made their way to Shibuya 109.

This is one of Shibuya's landmarks and is known as the absolute center of the gyaru (gal) culture.

The building's exterior is cylindrical, stacked layer upon layer, with each floor housing various clothing brands targeting young women.

Even though it's not a holiday, there are still a lot of people here.

Everywhere you look, there are young girls carrying shopping bags, walking in twos and threes. Some have brightly dyed hair, some have heavy eye makeup, and some are wearing platform shoes with heels over ten centimeters high.

It was so fashionable that Eri Aragaki and the others didn't stand out much.

After all, this place is full of hot girls and beautiful young women.

When Eri Aragaki entered the building, she felt a little intimidated by the gyaru-style window displays.

Bright pink slip dresses, leopard print short jackets, sequined mini skirts, and all sorts of backless, midriff-baring, and off-the-shoulder designs...

The mere thought of wearing those clothes made her feel incredibly uncomfortable...

So when she was browsing in the store, she picked out clothes that were more neutral in style.

A black, loose-fitting short-sleeved shirt with a small stand-up collar and two flap pockets on the chest.

Add a pair of dark gray straight-leg casual pants, with the cuffs slightly tapered.

There was also a military green, thin workwear jacket, which was oversized and dropped very low at the shoulders.

She took these items into the changing room.

The changing room wasn't big; it had mirrors on three sides and a warm yellow spotlight on the ceiling.

Eri Aragaki took off her black T-shirt and loose high-waisted pants and changed into the clothes she had chosen.

Wearing a black short-sleeved shirt, because of its loose fit, the shoulders fall just where they should, so it doesn't look too sloppy.

The dark gray straight-leg pants are just the right length, reaching the ankles, and the tapered leg makes the ankles look very slender.

She put her military green work jacket over her clothes and looked at herself in the mirror.

It works!

Anyway, she was quite satisfied.

She pushed open the door to the changing room and went out.

Natsume Akane, Erina, and Takeda Ayane were standing outside picking out clothes when they heard the door open and turned around at the same time.

Then all three of them suddenly brightened up.

Eri Aragaki's tall figure paired with this outfit gives her a surprisingly cool and stylish look.

The black short-sleeved shirt accentuated her fair skin, while the dark gray straight-leg pants elongated her legs, and the military green workwear jacket added a sense of layering.

Combined with Eri Aragaki's slightly masculine aura emanating from within, the way she stood there made her look less like a customer shopping and more like someone who had stepped out of a fashion brand's magazine.

With such a face, figure, and temperament, she might not necessarily attract men, but she would definitely attract many women!

In other words, he was... a lesbian heartthrob!

"Nai-san, this outfit looks great!"

Erina Aragaki was the first to speak, her eyes shining as if she had discovered a new continent.

Ayane Takeda nodded in agreement and said, "Senpai, this outfit really suits you, it looks so good on you."

Natsume Akane didn't speak. Her gaze lingered on Aragaki Eri for a while, the corners of her mouth curved slightly, and then she nodded. "Yeah, it suits you very well, Aragaki-san."

Eri Aragaki turned around in front of the mirror, looked at the back view from the side, and then looked at the overall proportions from the front.

It's actually not bad, much better than the clothes she usually just grabs and throws on.

Moreover, this outfit is very comfortable to wear, and you don't feel restricted at all.

"Okay, then I'll buy this set."

After she finished speaking, she went back into the changing room.

She took off her work jacket and hung it on a hook, then folded her black short-sleeved shirt and placed it on the shelf next to her.

She was about to take off her dark gray trousers, change back into her original clothes, and then go to the counter to pay.

But just then...

"Senior, where are you?"

Ayane Takeda's voice rang out from outside the changing room.

Eri Aragaki paused her movements, thinking something was wrong outside, and replied, "I'm here."

Following the sound, Ayane Takeda found the changing room where Eri Aragaki was.

Before Eri Aragaki could react, the locker door to the changing room, which wasn't even locked, was opened.

Ayane Takeda walked in carrying a set of clothes she had her eye on: a white lace-trimmed blouse and a denim mini-skirt.

"Senior, I'd like to come in and try on the clothes."

The changing room was small to begin with; it was spacious enough for one person, but a bit cramped for two.

Ayane Takeda squeezed in sideways, closed the door, and then hung the clothes she was carrying on another hook.

"Wait……"

Eri Aragaki wanted to stop it quickly.

But Ayane Takeda didn't even wait for Eri Aragaki to come out of the changing room.

She simply took off her clothes from the bottom up, her movements very natural, without any regard for Eri Aragaki.

After all... they're all girls...

But then... Eri Aragaki froze on the spot.

Ayane Takeda picked up the white lace-trimmed shirt again, put it on, buttoned it up, and then picked up the denim mini skirt and put it on as well.

She turned around in front of the mirror, checking the effect from the front and side, then turned to look at Eri Aragaki.

"Senior, what do you think of my outfit?"

And now she's finally discovered...

A bright red line appeared on Eri Aragaki's pale face.

Takeda Ayane was immediately alarmed and rushed forward, asking, "Senpai, what's wrong? Why are you bleeding from your nose?"

Eri Aragaki finally came to her senses.

She felt something wet on her upper lip, and when she touched it, her fingertips were covered in red.

She looked down at her fingers, then at her face in the mirror, blood streaming from her nose, and froze.

She quickly raised her head.

One hand groped haphazardly on the shelf next to him, trying to find tissues.

Ayane Takeda had already rummaged through her small cloth bag and pulled out a pack of tissues, handing one to her.

Eri Aragaki took the tissue, pressed it to her nose, and felt that the tissue quickly became soaked.

"No...it's nothing."

She quickly explained, "It's probably because I've been staying up too late lately..."
