Anime Heart

Arima Kento touched the wetness on his face, a slight smile curving his lips.

This arrogant little fool is becoming more and more unforgettable.

The following Sunday, Arima Kento went to Yamada Elf's place to discuss and exchange feelings with the girl.

As he was leaving, Arima Kento casually asked when Yamada Elf's birthday was, so he could make some preparations.

As a result, Yamada Elf seemed somewhat annoyed. While verbally telling Arima Kento to find it himself, she secretly tossed her ID card onto the sofa.

And it just so happens that Arima Kento saw it.

September 15th. (This is just the author's guess; no data could be found.)

Okay, I'll remember that. Make sure to pick out a nice gift for the girl!

The reason Arima Kento asked Yamada Elf about her birthday was because he was going shopping later to buy her a birthday present.

It was a birthday gift for Ayako and her girlfriend, Kaori Miyazono.

This is also due to a very coincidental fact: Ako and Kaori Miyazono were born on the same day, month, and year.

And now I've fallen for the same boy again; fate is truly strange.

Ako and Kaori Miyazono's birthdays are on July 4th, and today is July 2nd, so there are still two days left.

Although I still need to go to school tomorrow and the day after, the Municipal Mogu Junior High School will not officially start its summer vacation until July 5th, which is Wednesday.

However, Arima Hitoshi had something more important to do, so he asked his teacher for leave to focus on choosing gifts for Ayako and Kaoru for the next two days.

Yako was completely unaware of this.

Because she rarely celebrates her birthday, she has almost forgotten when it is.

However, that's what makes it a surprise. When the girl receives Arima Kenji's gift, she will definitely be very touched.

Having the same birthday as the two girls has both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantages are obvious, but the disadvantages can be quite perplexing.

Because Ma Xiandong had to deliver birthday gifts to two girls, and the two girls lived quite far apart, requiring them to travel by plane.

Besides, their relationship can be described as that of rivals in love!

Chapter 248 Gift

Since the two are considered rivals in love, Arima Hiden couldn't very well gather them together and celebrate their birthdays together!

If he dares to do that, there's no guarantee the birthday party won't turn into a bloodbath.

However, he couldn't celebrate each girl's birthday separately, because he had to take a plane to get to Kaori Miyazono's place.

The round trip alone takes up one-fifth of the daytime.

However, both girls were very important to Arima Kento, so he didn't want to miss their birthday parties.

Looking at it this way, the best solution is actually the one Arima Kento sees as a battleground: bringing the two girls together and celebrating their birthdays together.

Arima Sento couldn't make a decision; all he felt was intense pain here.

Moreover, it not only hurts, but it's also very uncomfortable there.

Forget it, I'll stop thinking about it now. Let's pick out a gift first!

Let's choose a gift for Ayako first.

If you're going to give someone a gift, you should think about it carefully.

What the other person likes, what the other person lacks.

Giving gifts randomly will not only fail to increase a girl's favorability, but may also easily arouse her hostility.

This means starting all your hard work on the strategy from scratch, and it's also known as "come home often."

Of course, for Arima Kento, his strategy should be considered complete.

He can take that final, sacred step whenever he wants.

However, he wasn't so beastly as to harm underage girls.

Lolitas are indeed nice, but it takes at least three years!

Actually, Aya is always very happy no matter what Ma Kenji gives her. Just like the little dress he gave her before.

Although Ayako probably wouldn't need the dress, she still happily tried it on, while Arima Kento admired it.

But this is Ayako's birthday after all!

No matter how tolerant Ayako is of herself, Arima Kento will carefully select gifts that he thinks are suitable for her.

This is a matter of attitude.

The same applies to Kaori Miyazono; her attitude is similar to Ako's. However, she is increasingly trying to emulate the role of a wife and often considers Arima Kenji's feelings.

Just like the last time when Ma Xiandong gave her a dress, she felt that she didn't need him to spend money on her and even complained about Ma Xiandong.

In June, when Ma Xiandong went to see Miyazono Kaori, the two went to the East Sea beach together. Although it was only for an afternoon, Miyazono Kaori performed exceptionally well.

She gently applied sunscreen to Arima Kento, and before setting off, she scouted out a place so the two of them could start playing as soon as they arrived.

Fortunately, Arima Kento didn't stay overnight there, otherwise Miyazono Kaoru might have done something like serving him in bed.

If that were the case, Arima Sento would definitely not be able to resist and would do something even more beastly.

Isn't she the perfect wife candidate? (My mind is a bit of a mess)

Although Ayako really wanted to marry Arima Kento, in reality, she wasn't as much of a wife as Kaori Miyazono.

After all, Ako is naturally a bit naive, so it wouldn't be good for her to have too many demands. Besides, Arima Kento didn't make those demands either.

Thinking of Ako's silly and cute appearance, Arima Kento couldn't hide the smile on his lips.

Gathering his thoughts, Arima Kento seriously considered Ayako's preferences and needs.

In the past, this would have been easy to solve. Because the previous Yako was a girl addicted to games and couldn't break free from her addiction.

Since she likes games, then give her everything she wants in that area.

She spends money on in-game purchases, gets carried by skilled players to clear levels, collects figurines and merchandise, and even gets the game's official team to add the storylines or equipment she wants to see.

Of course, if it were the old days, these might have been very effective as gifts.

However, it might be useful now, but it's definitely not very useful.

Because the current state is not the same as before.

Although she still plays games from time to time, it's just for fun. For example, after she and Yu Ma Xian Dong reached the King rank in Honor of Kings, she stopped playing ranked matches.

The same goes for Arima Hiden. It's been almost two months since he last touched the King of Glory game.

Sigh, he's a celibate male god, there's nothing I can do about it.

Furthermore, after Yako discovered Honor of Kings, she stopped playing other online games.

Now that she's practically given up on Honor of Kings, Yako basically doesn't play games anymore.

Looking at it this way, it seems that Ayako's internet addiction, which had previously troubled Arima Risa, has been cured without her even realizing it after living with Arima Kento for a few months.

Call me the master of internet addiction treatment!

Okay! Actually, Ayako's case is special. She was able to truly give up the game because she shifted her focus from playing the game to Arima Kento and the others.

This does not apply to the vast majority of internet-addicted teenagers.

Because they don't have anyone they're obsessed with, someone worth giving up the game, resisting its allure, and turning to the real world.

So, what is it that Ako really wants to get now?

There is only one answer, and that is Arima Kento himself.

I think if Ma Xiandong washed himself clean, took off his clothes, and crawled into Yazi's bed, Yazi would be so surprised that she couldn't breathe that night.

However, this gift is not feasible, because Arima Kento is not only celebrating Ayako's birthday, but also another girl!

Moreover, Arima Sento only thought about it in his mind; he would never actually do such a shameful thing.

But right now, Yako really lacks nothing. She has plenty of food, clothing, shelter, and even her spiritual world.

Ayako has successfully transformed from a homebody into a social butterfly.

Arima Kento was scratching his head in frustration. He had finally managed to think about something seriously, but it turned out to be a waste of time.

Forget it, I'll just walk around and see if there's anything suitable, then I'll buy it and give it to Aya.

Kaori Miyazono's situation was much simpler than Ako's.

Arima Kento clearly understands what Miyazono Kaori needs.

The best gift you can give a girl is to simply accompany her around and spend time with her when you visit her.

However, such a gift was a bit too shabby, so Arima Kento decided to buy something as a superficial gift to seduce Miyazono Kaoru.

Holding hands with the girl and strolling down the street, then giving her a perfectly timed kiss in the most romantic spot—that's probably the limit of what I can do!

Moreover, this time, Ma Xiandong will be able to stay with the girl there for a long time, at least a week, without any problem.

Oh dear, how did I end up having to go to Xiao Xun's place as a prerequisite for everything?

It's Ayako's birthday too. Do I really have to take Ayako to see Kaoru?

I must be tired of living! I actually created a nightmare for myself.

Arima Kento rested one hand on his forehead, lost in thought.

A few minutes later...

"Fine, I'll go! What are you afraid of?!"

Chapter 249 Birthday Gift (Don't ask me who the gift is)

July 4th, 7:00 AM.

Yako rolled over in bed, still half asleep, and then closed her big eyes, ready to go back to sleep.

Last night, her brother really surprised her. He actually wanted to take her to see Sister Xiao Xun and celebrate their birthdays together.
