Tokyo: Idol Girls have absolutely no bad intentions!

I'm not sure if that's the right way to refer to them, but the participants were either Itoh, Mori, or Asada.

Asada didn't specifically ask to go, nor did she say she wanted to go, but she still came in the end.

The reason is simple: Mori said that this zoo and botanical park sells delicious cotton candy, and it would be a shame if Asada didn't come and try it herself.

It must be admitted that Mori is very concerned about Asada's feelings, but he doesn't seem to care about Ito's thoughts.

Previously, Ito hadn't seemed to care much about accompanying the two girls, but now, knowing Asada's feelings...

It's absolutely impossible!

What if one wants to see lions and the other wants to see tigers?

What should Ito choose?

And this is just the simplest example; countless similar disagreements will arise.

Even Hayakawa was not optimistic about their three-person date plan after learning about it.

For example, a disagreement has arisen regarding whether to go to the zoo or the botanical garden...

However, it was Ito and Mori.

According to Mori, the cotton candy is near the zoo, and you can see flocks of white sheep there.

But Ito didn't think it was a good idea.

Before coming, he did his research and found that the sheep area was free-range, which meant he would have close contact with the sheep.

"Yujin, it's so ungentlemanly of you to only think of yourself~"

Mori was wearing a blue polka-dot jacket over a white T-shirt, and she was holding Asada's hand.

“I still stand by my opinion; the botanical garden is the place we should visit first.” Ito stared at the entrance not far away. “Those bonsai and plants and flowers should be great for taking some nice photos.”

"If you're going out to have fun, you should still share your life on Instagram."

"Stare~" Mori's eyes were fixed on Ito, trying to see the true face behind this guy's skin. "Yujin, you wouldn't be—afraid of small animals, would you?"

“That’s impossible,” Ito shook his head.

"Bringing up topics like taking photos all of a sudden is completely unlike you, Ito. So, Hisahito," Morihime slowly moved closer to Ito, "you're suspicious~"

“I also find it very suspicious,” Asada echoed.

Because of that kind of thing, I always felt a little timid in front of Ito and Mori, even though I've always been a coward.

"Don't try to provoke me." Ito turned his head to the other side. "Fine, I'll go with you, okay?"

“It should have been done a long time ago.” Mori said with some dissatisfaction, “Yuhito, you really do waste time on meaningless things.”

Ito remained silent, offering no opinion, and followed the two girls directly to the cotton candy sales area.

As for whether buying food at the zoo is a waste of time, Ito didn't bother to argue.

Subconsciously, I didn't want to buy cotton candy because Mori's sudden gesture of goodwill towards Asada felt like something more.

The cotton candy stall and the sheep grazing area were very close to each other, almost merged together, separated only by a low wooden fence.

This made Itoh wonder if it was really useful.

Watching the sheep with its head down grazing and tiny ears, Ito timidly avoided eye contact. The other two girls were discussing what flavor of cotton candy to buy.

They have a really good relationship, at least that's how it seems.

"Did you two come together? I'd like to take a picture of you."

A boy's voice rang out, and Ito turned around to see him talking to Mori and Asada.

"After all, it's quite unusual for beautiful young girls to come to a boring zoo together without any men." The boy, with long hair and a Foxconn camera hanging around his neck, said, "By the way, you guys wouldn't—"

His gaze began to turn strange. "It's that kind of relationship, isn't it?"

"Eh—! No, no." Asada immediately tried to clarify the misunderstanding between her and Mori.

That situation is absolutely impossible, and besides, Mori wouldn't want to be misunderstood like that.

That would only make the relationship between the two of them more awkward.

"No, I think they look great together." The long-haired boy said with some regret.

"No way!" Asada raised his voice.

Ito stood quietly to one side, watching their conversation from a short distance away. Why didn't he step forward to stop them?

Because he was a little scared...

Yes, he was genuinely a little scared. He had always thought that male best friends were disgusting creatures, but if his male best friend was his sister-in-law... that was also 'disgusting'.

The situation is similar now; the long-haired man has foundation on his face, speaks in a high-pitched voice, and wears large round earrings.

Most importantly... his shirt wasn't tucked in properly, and Ito could vaguely see something purple.

It's terrible!

They didn't dare to approach or make contact at all.

"Alright, I'll stop teasing you guys." The long-haired man gave an awkward laugh. "How about the suggestion of taking a picture?"

Don't you want to charm countless men with your cuteness?

Asada instinctively wanted to refuse, but Mori spoke first: "How do we film it?"

"Chinatsu?!" Asada called out softly, "Won't this disrupt our schedule?"

“It doesn’t matter. Anyway,” Mori glanced intentionally or unintentionally in the direction where Ito was standing, “the final photo was also for someone to see.”

Following Mori's gaze, Asada also saw Ito looking in this direction, and she also had the idea of ​​taking a picture.

"Since you've agreed, please follow my instructions." The long-haired man took a bag of hay from his satchel and handed it to Asada and the other man.

"I want to take a picture of you feeding the sheep. The combination of young girls and sheep is enough to make my hormones surge!" the guy said, making strange humming noises as he spoke.

Is this guy really normal?

The three of them, including Ito, had the same question at the same time.

If you want to feed the sheep, you can simply step over the low wooden fence.

Asada slowly approached the sheep, offering them hay, which the sheep chewed slowly.

It doesn't seem like a difficult task?

She grew bolder and bolder, even having the urge to touch the head of the small animal in front of her.

"Good girl~ good little lamb~" Asada spoke gently, as if coaxing a child.

"Oh, little girl, it seems the sheep really likes you!"

A long-haired man stood not far away and snapped a photo.

"Yes, it's the effect of the feed!" Asada emphasized this point.

After the solo photos of Asada were almost finished, Mori, holding a marshmallow, stepped over the fence to stand beside her.

Because Asada had eaten all the hay, none of the sheep wanted to come near her.

It's a cruel reality.

"Here's the custom flavor you chose, Asada-senpai." Mori handed the light green marshmallow to Asada.

"Uh... thank you." Asada took it, then looked at her empty hand with some curiosity. "Where's yours?"

"It has been entrusted to someone for safekeeping."

Asada looked behind Mori and saw Ito holding a pink cotton candy, which was cranberry flavored.

"It's your turn, you girl with the bun hairstyle!" the long-haired man called out.

Upon hearing this, Mori nodded to indicate that she was ready, and then took small steps away from Asada.

Following the long-haired boy's instructions, they offered hay to the sheep's mouths, but unexpectedly, not a single sheep approached.

No, it should be said that almost all the sheep in the vicinity are gathering in one place.

The gathering place was right where Asada had just been standing, and she was now gripping the strangely colored cotton candy tightly with both hands.

Striving to keep food safe while surrounded by several sheep.

It's just... I inexplicably feel like I'm being bullied by a sheep.

"It's definitely the kind of face that animals adore!" the long-haired man remarked, then raised his camera to take a picture.

Mori looked in that direction, then squinted, took out his phone, and sent a text message to Ito.

Mori: "Yuhito, aren't you going to save her?"

Ito: "Real sheep look very big and powerful! Their eyes even have horizontal stripes."

Mori: "There are certainly ways for women to win someone's favor by showcasing their extensive knowledge, but doesn't seem appropriate in this situation?"

Mori: "Shaking head question mark.JPG"

She looked up at Asada again, who looked panicked; he seemed to be almost dead.

Ignoring Mori's concerns and his suggestion to help Asada.

Ito: "Wool is warm, isn't it?"

Mori: "That's true, so...?"

Ito: "Asada has been very tense lately. I want her to have a change of scenery, and Warm Sheep is a good choice."

Mori: "But I feel like Asada-senpai is now transferring her anxiety to the food war with the sheep. Will that really work?"

And if that's really what they think, then there's no reason why Ito refused to come to the zoo in the first place.

Therefore, it's easy to determine that this is just an excuse the other party came up with. As for the reason... Mori has not yet figured it out.

While the long-haired boy was making strange noises like "Oh! Oh!" and snapping photos of Asada, Mori moved closer to Ito.

She took a bite of the marshmallow first. "Does Yuujin know why I specifically asked Asada-senpai to come along? Were you surprised and a little worried when you heard my insistence?"

No, not at all.

"Really?" Mori looked at Ito with some suspicion, noticing the way she was staring at the cotton candy shop. "Asada-senpai is such a delicate girl, she's easy to bully~"

"Hiruhito should feel protective of her."
