"Oh, sure, I'm going to Akihabara on Sunday too, we can go together. But we need to coordinate the times, Ayako, what time are you going?"

"Hmm... Is nine o'clock okay? We'll get there by nine." Ako's voice came through.

"Nine o'clock is fine, let's go together then! But I have a question, Ayako, what are you going to Akihabara for?"

Arriving half an hour early for the appointment with that girl at 9:30 is a gentlemanly act. Well, a British gentleman, but not in the usual sense of the word.

"Um... I want to go somewhere, I've never been to Akihabara before!"

Chapter 155 Acting Cute

"Hey, Ayako, haven't you ever been to Akihabara?" Arima Kento was slightly surprised, but after a moment's thought, his astonishment dissipated.

Akihabara is a holy land for otaku, so Arima Kento subconsciously assumed that Ako, a female gamer, should also be very familiar with the place.

Having just figured out Ako's true habits, Arima Kento finally understood why Ako had never been there.

She's shy, unwilling to talk to strangers, and unconsciously a bit naive; she'd probably get scammed if she went out.

With her personality, it's very difficult and dangerous for her to go out alone.

Moreover, she has almost zero ability to make friends, so she doesn't have a single best friend who can go shopping or watch movies with her.

It would be strange if someone with that kind of habit could have truly good friends!

Even ordinary friends in the conventional sense, Ayako didn't have any. Ayako was actually a very lonely girl, which is why she developed a disease that is rare for ordinary people.

Speaking of this, Arima Kento thought of another girl, Yako, who must also be very lonely! So, if we can help her, we should try our best to do so.

However, because of her recognition of Arima Kento, the girls here, such as Sawabe Tsubaki and Aota Keiko, were very friendly to Ako, so Ako could be said to have two best friends.

Yes, of course, I should also include my girlfriend, Kaori Miyazono. When Kaori met my father before, Ako and she had a very good conversation.

It seems that her younger sister, Ayako, is in a much better situation than that other Ayako.

"Is it strange that I haven't been there?!" Ako said, somewhat embarrassed and angry, trying to hide her true thoughts.

"No surprise, no surprise! Since you want to go see it, Ayako, of course I'll accompany you as your older brother. But before that, I need to take care of something before I can go shopping with you."

Arima Kenji found Ayako's tone somewhat amusing, but still explained. After all, Ayako was his adorable little sister.

"Resolve the matter? Is it in Akihabara?" Ako asked hesitantly.

She suddenly regretted lying to cover it up. She was supposed to go on a date with Lucian. If her brother promised to go shopping with her, wouldn't Lucian's existence be exposed?

The reason why Ako concealed her true purpose was that she didn't want Arima Kento to know about Lucien's existence.

She was aware of her mother's and brother's worries. Although she didn't quite understand, she still behaved obediently as they expected.

Ayako didn't want to disappoint her family, so she did everything her mother said, except for the matter of Lucien.

She knew in her heart that if her brother found out that she was going to see Lucien and that they were husband and wife, he would be very angry.

Yako doesn't want to fall out with her family; she cherishes her relationship with them very much.

Ayako is currently struggling with whether to go on a date with Lucien or go shopping with her brother. In the past, she wouldn't have needed to consider this at all.

She would definitely choose Lucian, because at that time Lucian was everything to her.

But now, everything she owns isn't just Lucien; she also has her family. Having already tasted the bitterness of loss, Yako doesn't want to experience it again.

That's why she's so distressed now.

"That's right, there are some things to take care of in Akihabara. But it should be quick, Ayako, you won't have to wait too long. Well, we'll talk about the details next time!"

Arima Kento didn't notice Ayako's abnormality. He's not a superman, how could he possibly sense Ayako's thoughts over the phone?

"Alright then!" Unable to think of a solution, Ayako had no choice but to agree to Arima Kento's suggestion.

"Well, Ayako, you didn't come to tutoring today, but don't slack off. Studying hard is a student's job!" Arima Kento reminded her.

"Oh dear, Brother Xiandong is just as long-winded as an old lady, I know!" Although Yazi no longer resists studying, she still pouts when someone nags her about studying.

"Okay, okay~! It's getting late, Ayako, you should go to bed early and not stay up too late playing on your phone."

Helpless, Arima Sento could only say these words.

"Okay, you too, Brother Xiandong! Goodbye!"

"Bye-Bye.."

Arima Kento felt even more helpless as he watched the phone hang up so quickly.

"Whose call was that?" Kaori Miyazono couldn't help but ask when she saw Arima Kenji sitting down.

Without giving it much thought, Arima Kento casually replied, "It was Ayako's call. She asked me to go to Akihabara with her on Sunday. She wants to go there for a stroll."

"That's wonderful!!" Kaori Miyazono's eyes lit up immediately. "I want to go too! But..."

After speaking, Kaori Miyazono pouted slightly, looking unhappy.

Seeing the girl's pouting expression, Yu Ma Xian Dong quickly said, "Once you get better, I'll take you wherever you want to go, as many times as you want!"

"real?!"

"Really! I'm your boyfriend! You should trust me a little, otherwise I'll feel really bad!" said Ma Xiandong.

However, Kaori Miyazono was quite taken with this. "I'm so sorry! I absolutely trust you! Then please trust me too!"

"No way!" Arima Kento said, "Unless you act cute for me, don't even think about me doing that."

"What?! This is profiteering during a crisis, the behavior of a swindler!!"

Ten o'clock arrived without anyone noticing, and Kaori Miyazono finally managed to act cute with Arima Kenjiro.

Although she wasn't wearing cat ears, the cute girl clenched her little fists, slightly raised her arms, keeping them parallel to her body, and then sat on her bed in a duck-like position, pouting, her eyes bright and alert, and softly called out, "Meow meow cat!!"

"Wow! I really want to hold her in my arms!" Arima Kento surrendered immediately, unable to help but say what he really felt.

The girl's reaction was also quite amusing. She blushed and, although very shy, did not run away. Instead, she made several cute poses in front of the screen.

Although this behavior is shameful, it's not so unacceptable because only her boyfriend saw it.

However, the naive Kaori Miyazono was unaware that Arima Kenji had just secretly taken more than a dozen screenshots.

He was planning to make his girlfriend's adorable picture his computer desktop wallpaper and print it out to keep safe.

If necessary, he will also make it into a phone screen saver and phone wallpaper.

"Xiao Xun, go to bed early, don't stay up late!" Arima Kento reminded her one last time, afraid that if he didn't tell her, Miyazono Kaoru would stay up late.

Even though it's highly likely that saying it won't make a difference.

"I know!" Kaori Miyazono nodded obediently. "Goodnight, meow! Mwah!"

Chapter 156 Saturday Morning

Thursday and Friday passed, and life remained the same: going to and from school every day, writing for "Cultivating Immortals in Mortal Realms," and brainstorming outlines for "Date A Live."

I play games occasionally, but I haven't been able to play with that girl again. Although it's a bit of a regret, I still play games as usual.

However, that girl almost gave him skins and heroes every day, and Arima Xiandong was too embarrassed to take them for free, so he gave them to her in return.

This back-and-forth exchange actually increased Penguin's revenue considerably.

Besides all of the above, Arima Kento also has to tutor Ako every day. It is said that Kousei's studies are now completely taken over by Tsubaki.

Arima Kento once saw Tsubaki tutoring Kousei, and well, how should I put it, it was a bit of a display of affection!

"Kousei, I just explained this type of question to you! So complete it independently! There's a reward for getting it right, and a punishment for getting it wrong!"

"What's the reward for being right?" Kousei asked.

Xiaochun answered without hesitation, "I'll give you a kiss as a reward!"

Kousei blushed and asked again, "What was the punishment for doing something wrong?"

"If you're wrong, I'll punish you by making you kiss me!"

That hurts...

However, Ma Xiandong is now happy to be taking it easy. Although Aya's foundation is much worse than Kousei's, it is still much easier than teaching the two of them together.

Furthermore, the two of them had already discussed and agreed on Zhou Tian's trip to Akihabara.

Ayako will still have a private car to pick her up, so at 8:30 the driver will bring Ayako to pick him up, and then the two of them will go to Akihabara together.

However, Ayako still didn't choose between her brother and Lucien. Seeing that Ayako was troubled but unwilling to talk about it, Arima Kento took the initiative to comfort her.

"If there's something you really can't figure out, just put it aside for now. There'll definitely be a solution later. So there's no need to frown like that; a furrowed brow doesn't look good!"

After hearing this, Arima Kento offered some words of advice, and in the end, Ako smiled.

"Whether it looks good or not, your opinion doesn't matter! My future husband's opinion is what matters most!"

Ha! I spent ages trying to comfort you, and you just stabbed me in the heart like this! Are we even family?!

Arima Kento was only complaining in his heart; what made him happy was making Ako happy.

Another thing to note is that Megumi Kanno has been sending emails non-stop these past two days. She's using the excuse of arranging her visit to Sagiri Izumi's house on Saturday to maintain a high level of communication with Kenji Arima.

Arima Sento couldn't refuse, since he had already promised.

On Saturday morning, Arima Kento didn't stay in bed, because today was the day to fulfill his promise to accompany Kanno Megumi to her classmate's house.

Upon waking up in the early morning, Arima Kento wore a not-so-thin blue sweatshirt and ordinary jeans, and first washed his hair in the bathroom.

Because of his terrible sleeping posture at night, his hairstyle is often a mess when he wakes up in the morning.

It's only a little before eight o'clock. He had arranged to meet Jinno Megumi at nine o'clock, so he just needed to get to Jinno Megumi's place by nine o'clock.

So there's still time.

After washing his hair, he used a hairdryer to dry it and casually styled it into a slightly sideways hairstyle with his hands, as he wasn't used to using a comb.

Besides, good-looking people can be capricious; they can look stylish even if they just casually tousle their hair.

After tidying everything up, he went into the kitchen, where the bread he had just put in the bread machine had been baked and popped out automatically.

The milk in the microwave is already steaming hot; now, all I need to do is make a poached egg.

In no time, a decent breakfast was served. He didn't make one for Kousei, because it was Tsubaki's special request.
