I was plotting against Hoshino Ai but was pushed back

When he finally walked out, he passed by a stall selling cotton candy and asked the stall owner on a whim, "Boss, can the cotton candy be made into a bouquet?"

"Of course you can," the stall owner replied, "but the cotton candy in the bouquet is 500 yen a piece."

"Is the hierarchy clear?" Saito Hiko asked again.

"It can be done, and the shapes will be very beautiful, prettier than real flowers." The stall owner sensed that Saito Hiko wanted to buy and so he promoted it.

"Then have one." After getting the answer, Saito Hiko took out a 500 yen coin from his wallet and handed it to the stall owner.

"Marshmallows made into bouquets?" Hoshino Ai heard the conversation between Saito Hiko and the stall owner and was curious about what a bouquet of marshmallows would look like.

If it looks good... No, 500 yen, forget it, it's made of marshmallow and too sweet.

Just as she was beginning to feel tempted, she persuaded herself to give up.

"Okay, please wait." The stall owner took the coin, turned on the machine, then took out the colorful candies from under the machine, selected enough and arranged them in order, and then poured them all into the machine.

Then the stall owner took a long skewer and placed it on the machine to wrap around the sugar threads sprayed out by the machine.

"It seems like it will be very big?" Hoshino Ai saw the stall owner pouring a lot of sugar into the machine and had a hunch that the finished product would be very big.

"As for the bouquet, it definitely won't be small," Saito Hiko replied.

The stall owner skillfully turns the skewer so that the sugar threads sprayed out by the machine follow the steps he expected.

Soon a colorful marshmallow bouquet was formed.

"Sorry for the wait. Here's the marshmallow bouquet you asked for." The stall owner formed a marshmallow bouquet that was even bigger than his body and handed it to Saito Hiko.

A bit big...

But it's really nice...

"Thank you."

Saito Yan took the bouquet and turned to hand it to Hoshino Ai: "Here you go."

"Eh? For me?" Hoshino Ai was a little unresponsive when she saw the bouquet handed to her, but she still took it.

'Isn't he ordering it for me? But there are too many marshmallows!'

Hoshino Ai suddenly suspected that Saito Hiko might have thought that the bunch of marshmallows was too big, so he wanted to force it on her.

However, she did not ask this question to spoil the mood.

"Where are we going?" Hoshino Ai held the marshmallows and looked at Saito Yan, who was still holding a large bag of snacks. At the same time, she also complained: "This bouquet of flowers is too big. Don't order flowers like this for me next time."

"Well, I won't order it next time. If you can't finish it, I'll help you eat it later." Saito Hiko said, and asked the stall owner for two more long skewers.

"After buying so much, of course I have to find a suitable place to enjoy the cherry blossoms," Saito Hiko replied.

Hoshino Ai nodded.

Then Saito Hiko brought Hoshino Ai to a meadow surrounded by blooming cherry trees.

Behind these cherry trees is the stage for the Spring Festival.

Hoshino Ai saw the stage over there through the cherry blossom trees, "Is this where we're performing tonight?"

"Yeah." Saito Hiko replied. He put the bag of snacks on the ground, then found a large piece of folded cloth from his backpack and spread it out.

"Eh? Have you thought about it a long time ago?" Hoshino Ai was very surprised to see Saito Hiko take out the cloth and spread it on the ground.

"Well, guess what." Saito Yan spread the cloth and placed the things on the ground. "Hurry up and sit down to eat. It won't taste good soon."

He took out the snacks he had just bought and spread them out on the tablecloth.

"Compared to you, I haven't prepared anything." Hoshino Ai looked at Saito Hiko busying herself and wanted to help, but she was holding a marshmallow in her hand and couldn't help.

She had no choice but to stand and bite the candy.

"So sweet~" Hoshino Ai swallowed it in one gulp. The sugar shreds melted in her mouth and it tasted so delicious. Her mood also improved.

Saito Hiko glanced at Hoshino Ai, used a skewer to poke an octopus ball out of the takoyaki bag and put it in his mouth to taste.

It's ok, but it feels like something is missing.

This octopus ball comes with only sauce and bonito flakes.

There’s less meat floss.

It’s a pity that there is no meat floss.

After eating the octopus balls, Saito Hiko recalled and found out what was missing.

At this time in Japan, meat floss was not yet popular.

If I had known earlier I would have bought some and put them in my bag.

Next time if I bring a backpack, I might as well bring some ingredients along.

Saito Hiko thought in his heart.

Seeing Hoshino Ai still eating marshmallows, he picked up a new skewer, poked an octopus ball, and said to her:

"Ah~"

He tried to get Hoshino Ai to open her mouth and eat the octopus ball.

"I'll get it myself later." Hoshino Ai did not open her mouth to accept the food. She continued to lick the marshmallow bouquet with her tongue.

However, because the bouquet was too big and the marshmallows were too fluffy, her face was inevitably covered with sugar threads.

"Does that mean after you finish eating the marshmallows?" Saito Yan thought for a moment and continued, "Just eating the marshmallows won't work. You have to eat something else to neutralize the taste, otherwise the more you eat, the more uncomfortable you will feel. Open your mouth, ah~"

"Ah~" Hoshino loved eating a small piece of the bouquet, and felt that eating too much sugar was too sweet. He felt that what Saito Hiko said seemed to be right, so he just opened his mouth.

Chapter 145 Spring Festival (Part )

When Saitohiko saw that Hoshino Ai opened her mouth, he put the meatball into her mouth.

The salty and fragrant taste filled Hoshino Ai's mouth, dispelling the greasy sweetness of the sugar shreds in her mouth.

The dried bonito flakes make the meatballs more delicious.

"It's delicious." Hoshino Ai commented after eating.

Saito Yan shook his head, "It would be more delicious if there was meat floss."

"Meat floss? What is that?" asked Hoshino Ai.

"It's similar to bonito floss." Saito Yan thought for a moment and replied, "But meat floss originated in China and is one of the Chinese delicacies. There are very few places in Japan that sell it."

"Chinese delicacies?" She repeated Saito Hiko's words and continued to eat the marshmallow in her hand.

"Well, next time I'll buy some for you to try."

Saito Hiko saw that there were sugar threads on Hoshino Ai's cheeks and mouth corners, so he found a pack of tissues from his backpack, opened it, and used the tissues to wipe the sugar threads on the corners of her mouth.

"Eh?" Hoshino Ai was still eating marshmallows and was very surprised that Saito Hiko suddenly took a tissue to wipe her face.

"What's there to be surprised about?" Saito Hiko said calmly.

"How much preparation have you made? I've heard from others before that boys don't bring tissues, so why did you bring them?" Hoshino Ai said without thinking.

Because Saito Hiko came too close to her too suddenly, she felt too close and felt shy.

After he finished speaking, he realized that he had said something wrong, and quickly added: "I just ate a little bit of the marshmallow, and it will be dirty after I wipe it off. I will wipe it myself later."

"Didn't I just say that I just made some preparations? I don't usually bring tissues with me."

Saito Yan nodded and replied, "Well, I put the tissues here. If you need them, just take them yourself. If you don't have enough, there are more in the bag."

As he spoke, he placed the tissue in his hand on the tablecloth on the ground.

"Usually you only bring a pack of tissues, right?" When Hoshino Ai heard that Saito Hiko was preparing more, she curiously moved closer to Saito Hiko, holding the marshmallow bouquet in her right hand, and reached into Saito Hiko's backpack with her left hand, taking out the things inside one by one to check.

Then she saw: two masks, two pairs of sunglasses, two hats, two sets of clothes, a small medical first aid kit, a metal rod, several packs of tissues...

After turning out all the things, he looked at the tablecloth under him.

"What is this?" Hoshino Ai picked up the metal rod and asked Saito Hiko.

"That's a trekking pole," Saitohiko replied.

"Mountain climbing? Isn't today's stage over there? There's no need to climb mountains, right?" Hoshino Ai looked at the metal rod in confusion, not understanding how to use it.

"Press and pull, or shake it, and the inner part will come out." When Saitohiko saw Hoshino Ai's expression, he knew that she was studying how to use the trekking pole, so he gave her a reminder.

Hoshino Ai wanted to do as Saito Hiko said, but she was holding a bouquet of marshmallows in her hand, so she couldn't do it.

At this time, only one-fifth of the bouquet had been eaten.

She no longer wanted to eat it because it was too sweet and too greasy.

"Hold it for me first." Hoshino Ai took this opportunity to hand the marshmallow bouquet to Saito Hiko.

Seeing that she was in a playful mood, Saito Hiko took the marshmallow without any suspicion.

After Hoshino Ai was freed from the restraints of the marshmallow, she followed Saito Hiko's instructions and successfully pulled out the trekking pole, which was originally only longer than her arm, and became longer than her legs.

She waved her trekking pole a few times curiously.

"So, what are you going to use this for? I can understand clothes, masks and sunglasses as they are for protecting privacy, but this thing is completely unnecessary, right?" Hoshino Ai asked Saito Hiko again.

"Don't you think this is suitable as a self-defense tool?" Saito Hiko expressed his thoughts.

"The security in Japan is so good, you won't need it, right? And aren't you a boy? You shouldn't need it at all." Hoshino Ai put the glove into the strap of the trekking pole and tried to use it.

"Is Japan safe?" Saito Hiko shook his head, took out his phone with his left hand, quickly typed the keyword 'train attack' on it, and clicked on one of the links, "Let's take a look."

The content displayed on Saitohiko's mobile phone was a news report that a few years ago, someone used props to indiscriminately attack passers-by on the tram, resulting in multiple injuries and one death.

"How scary..." Hoshino Ai couldn't help but worry when she saw the content on the phone.

They take the tram quite often on weekdays, and if they encounter such scum while riding, they will be helpless victims.

"Now you understand why I brought this thing?" Saito Hiko replied.

"I kind of understand, but you didn't carry it with you before." Hoshino Ai thought about it and realized that she had never seen Saito Hiko carry any weapons for self-defense before.

"This...haha..." Saito Hiko smiled awkwardly.

He thought of this question because of this performance.

"If there were security checks, such tragedies would not have happened." Saito Hiko sighed.
