My daily anime romance in Tokyo

As the school term was about to start, Jun Aragaki checked Takada Mitsuru's summer homework, and after confirming that there was no problem, he approved her to go out and play with her classmates.

Aragaki Jun was the only one at home. He sent a message to Miura Yumiko, only to find out that she and her parents had gone to her grandmother's house.

Aragaki Jun put down his phone and suddenly realized that he had not been alone for a long time.

It seemed like he had no interest in doing anything. He fell asleep on the table, but woke up quickly.

Once again, he dreamed that Yukinoshita Yukino left.

After waking up, Aragaki Jun sat in the chair in a daze until there was a knock on the door, and then he came to his senses.

"Hey, Aragaki-kun~ Long time no see."

Nao Tomo was in a good mood. Seeing Aragaki on time, she reached out and patted him on the shoulder:

"How have you been lately?"

"That's it."

Aragaki Jun made way for the door and motioned for Nao Tomori to come in and sit down, but the girl waited for him at the door.

"Hurry up and change your clothes, let's go out for a walk."

"alright."

Aragaki Jun knew that Nao Tomori's visit must be about something important, so he went back to the room to change clothes and accompanied her out.

"Where are we going?"

“Let’s go to Atami and soak in the hot springs!”

Nao Tomori had nothing in her hands, so when she talked about going on a long journey, it seemed like she was joking.

Aragaki Jun didn't ask her the reason, but just got into the same taxi with Nao Tomori on the street.

It was not until he got on the Shinkansen that Aragaki Jun finally felt like he was going out.

However, it only takes about fifty minutes to travel from Tokyo to Atami, and the ticket price is only 4,000 yen.

How should I put it? After staying in a big city like Tokyo for a long time, you will feel the smallness of the island country when you go out.

The two of them sat next to each other, but Nao Tomori was leaning on the window looking out, looking like she had never seen the world before.

Aragaki ordered three bento boxes promptly, then poked Nao Tomori's shoulder and asked her to pay.

"Hey~ You're not a gentleman at all. You should at least split the bill."

"No, I'm coming out with you, and you have to provide me with food and lodging."

Aragaki Jun is not short of money now, he said this just to tease Nao Tomori. The girl stared at him with her deep blue eyes, but didn't say anything.

The journey was short, so short that Jun Aragaki did not feel tired at all. After getting off the Shinkansen, Nao Tomori bought a travel guide on the roadside and planned the route with great interest.

Although he had a bento on the Shinkansen, Jun Aragaki wanted to eat a full meal before taking a bath, so Nao Tomori took him to eat eel rice.

In a tourist area, the restaurant is a bit expensive, but the food is good.

After coming out of the restaurant, Nao Tomori bought some hot spring buns and still ate them.

On the way here, Nao Tomori had already booked a hotel, and the two of them strolled to the store.

While Nao Tomori was checking in, Jun Aragaki started fiddling with the plants in the store.

Deng Deng Deng!

There was a sound of footsteps coming down the stairs. Aragaki Jun turned around and looked over. His expression was stunned:

"Rikka? Why are you here?"

"Come and soak in the hot springs."

It looks like Rika Takanari has been staying here for a day or two, and her skin looks more hydrated after soaking in the hot spring.

She was originally planning to go out, but when she saw Jun Aragaki and Nao Tomori, she stayed in the store.

Nao Tomori discussed with the landlady and arranged the three of them to have rooms together.

Aragaki Jun returned to the room with a yukata, but unfortunately he couldn't hear the two girls chatting.

This was Aragaki Jun's first time taking a hot spring bath. To be honest, it felt quite comfortable, but I didn't enjoy it that much.

He came out not long after soaking, bought a bottle of milk from the vending machine, and drank it all in one gulp.

“That’s amazing~”

"Drink milk?"

Aragaki Jun sat on the chair and looked at Takarada Rika who came out before him.

"Coming out so soon?"

"I've been soaking in it every day for the past two days. That's enough."

Takarada Rikka was wearing a yukata and sat next to him, and Aragaki could smell a faint fragrance.

"Aragaki-kun, why... did you suddenly want to take a hot spring bath?"

"It was Nao who wanted to come, and she drafted me into the army."

Aragaki Jun chatted with Takanari Rikka for a while, and then he suddenly became silent.

Takarada Rikka turned her head and looked at him, waiting quietly for him to speak.

"Rikka, summer vacation is over and I'm going to get my memories back."

"why?"

"Because of the matter of Xin Tiao Qian, do you know her? Let's talk about her."

"Why are you asking me?"

"Nangong Nayue told me that she, like you, was a student I taught in the past, is that right?"

Aragaki Jun stared at Takanae Rikka, trying to see the changes in her expression and analyze her mood at the moment.

But Takarada Rikka obviously would not be easily shaken. Even if her hidden secret was revealed, she just nodded calmly:

"Yes, she and I used to be the same, but we rarely took classes together and our relationship was not very good."

"So... do you know what she is doing?"

"She is doing what you told her to do. You never told me your plan, you just chose her to be the executor."

"I should treat both of you equally."

"Who knows? I have to spend more time studying academic subjects. She has never considered going to college and just wants to take a shortcut."

Takarada Rikka didn't say what the shortcut was. She stood up and walked to the vending machine, bought herself a bottle of juice and bought coffee for Aragaki Jun:

"Your relationship with Tomori Nao is more than just classmates, right?"

"Yes...we had an agreement."

Aragaki Jun didn't know whether he should say it or not, but while he was hesitating, Takarada Rikka had already realized the truth.

"It's because of the devil."

"how do you know?"

"Because...the aura she exudes."

"Does it seem obvious to you?"

"No, a little bit, and also because she is here."

Takarada Rikka pointed to the ground, and her meaning was already clear.

Here, there are demons.

"Which boss lady?"

“No, he’s the owner of this store.”

It seems that Takarada Rikka knows more than Aragaki Jun and the others.

At this time, Nao Tomori came out with a towel on her head, and greeted Takanari Rikka first when she came over.

Aragaki Jun took a sip of coffee, pulled Nao Tomori aside and asked her about the possibility of confessing.

"Okay, you can tell her... let's exchange information."

Nao Tomori regarded her secret as a manifestation of sincerity, and Rikka Takanada was not too surprised after hearing it.

"You want to see it and confirm whether it is the one who signed the contract with you?"

"Ah."

"Then let's go now."

Chapter 328 I Will Sound the Alarm Bell

In Aragaki Jun's impression, monsters hidden among humans are generally found in villages in the mountains.

However, Takarada Rikka led the two up a long staircase and eventually they saw a magnificent shrine.

Atami is a tourist city. People from all over the country come here to soak in the hot springs. The shrine is crowded with people, even many foreign tourists.

"A demon, running a shrine?"

“Statues are worshipped here, not gods.”

Takarada Rikka walked in front, and the three of them walked into the shrine when someone dressed as a shrine maiden stopped them.

As soon as Takarada Rikka said her name, the shrine maiden immediately bowed and apologized, and led the way.

Although he was running a shrine, the demon usually stayed in a very secluded place behind the shrine.

The four of them walked through the bamboo forest and saw a quiet courtyard. The real owner was obviously inside.

However, when Aragaki Jun walked in, he felt it was too quiet.

"No, there's something wrong!"

"what happened?"

Before Nao Tomori knew what was happening, she was pulled behind Jun Aragaki, and Rikka Takarada was also pulled to her side.
