The Chosen Ones Also Want a Youth Romance Story

"How interesting..." she murmured to herself.

With a "tsk" sound, Damen said disdainfully: "What's so good about this little thing?"

"Oh? Then what do you want to see, a puppy?" Kanda teased him with a smile.

"Idiot, of course it's the big wolfhound!" Damen continued unhappily, "Come on, let's go somewhere else."

Daimon Dai walked towards the place where large dogs were sold, and Kanda Osamu followed him boredly, looking around to see if there were any pets he liked.

Coincidentally, he saw a familiar figure at the pet cat exhibition.

Yukinoshita Yukino was watching the two cats in the transparent glass very seriously.

According to the store manager, the two black cats and the white cat are sisters, and they were snuggling together for a nap.

Perhaps the napping posture of the two cats influenced her, and a gentle smile appeared on her face.

"……minister?"

A familiar voice came from behind. Yukinoshita Yukino coughed twice and finally raised her head.

"Kanda-kun, are you here to see the pets too?"

"Of course, because these little animals are very good at healing the body and mind." Kanda Osamu answered shamelessly.

Hearing what he said, Yukinoshita nodded in agreement, with a slight smile on her face: "I thought so too."

Perhaps she was really healed by the cat, and the lies that would normally be seen through were hidden from Yukinoshita Yukino.

"...Then Kanda-kun, come and take a look at these two cats."

Perhaps realizing that her condition was not right, Yukinoshita calmed down, stood up, and made room for Kanda.

"Two?"

Kanda Osamu walked forward, withdrew his peripheral vision from Yukinoshita Yukino, and looked at the two cats snuggling in the glass.

When he saw the appearance of the two cats clearly, Kanda Osamu believed that he must have three question marks above his head.

He said in an uncertain and hesitant tone: "This is not..."

"Kanda, why are you here?"

Daimon's voice came from behind, and Kanda Osamu swallowed back what he wanted to say.

Turning around, he found Daimon Daisho looking at him with a puzzled look, with Mikihara Noren smiling beside him.

"Kanda, who is this?"

She blinked at Kanda Osamu and shifted her gaze to Yukinoshita Yukino.

"This is Yukino Yukinoshita, my club leader."

"Hello, hello, I'm Mikihara Noren, thank you for taking care of me, Kanda."

"My name is Daimon." Compared to Miki's sunny greeting, Daimon just nodded seriously.

"Nice to meet you, everyone."

Yukinoshita Yukino politely responded to everyone's greetings.

"Oh, by the way, I just wanted to buy a hamster. Damen, please come with me."

After saying hello, Miki suddenly grabbed Daimon's sleeve and pretended to be surprised.

"Huh? You're not..."

Daimon wanted to say something, but was pulled towards the direction they were coming from by Mikihara Noren.

After the two of them left, Yukinoshita Yukino stood next to Kanda Osamu and whispered, "Kanda-kun's friends are all very unique."

"Haha, that's right."

Kanda Osamu responded to Yukinoshita Yukino's words, turned around again, and fixed his gaze on the glass cabinet.

Hey? Why is it gone?

The two cats that had just been snuggling in the pet cabinet were gone.

Chapter 28 Shopping in the Mall

"What's wrong, Kanda-kun?"

Seeing Kanda Osamu's surprised expression, Yukinoshita Yukino frowned and asked.

"……nothing."

Blocking the transparent glass, Kanda Shu shook his head to indicate that it was all right. He laughed dryly and suggested: "Bullmaster, how about we go take a look at the place?"

"Other places..." Yukinoshita thought, "Then let's go to the bird area."

Kanda Osamu nodded, and the two followed the crowd towards the bird area.

After they completely disappeared in the crowd, a black cat and a white cat appeared silently on the wooden board above the exhibition hall.

"Huh...how did I meet this guy?"

Black Dilumon breathed a sigh of relief, staring at the direction they left and muttering to himself.

"So, why are we here?"

Tailmon shook its ears and asked it in confusion.

"Who do you think it's all because of?" Black Dilu Beast said unhappily, "Now that I have no power left, I don't want to go pick up trash."

"But..." Before Tailmon could refute, Black Tailmon continued, "It would be a good idea to seek help from the Chosen Ones."

"What help?" Tailmon asked curiously.

Black Dilu Beast rolled his eyes and answered frankly: "Free food and drink."

The cat and dog exhibition hall is very large, with all kinds of pets on display. Kanda Osamu and Yukinoshita Yukino are watching these animals.

But unlike the cats she saw at first, Yukinoshita didn't seem to be that interested in these pets. Occasionally, she would touch them, but found that the actual touch was completely different from what she had imagined.

Kanda Osamu was not thinking about this. He actually had a slight impression of the two cats just now, but he had no clue after searching in his mind.

The two of them leisurely walked through the entire exhibition hall and finally returned to the cat area.

Kanda Osamu bent down and looked down at the cat stretching comfortably in the box. The weather today was not hot, and the moderate temperature was very comfortable for the cat.

"Minister, do you want to raise one or two?" He pointed at the cats in the box and said with a smile.

Unexpectedly, Yukinoshita Yukino did not answer him immediately.

Kanda turned his head and found that the minister was looking at him.

"Kanda-kun..."

Somewhat unexpectedly, Yukinoshita Yukino felt a little embarrassed for a moment, her lips slightly raised, and after a long while she slowly said, "Are you free tomorrow?"

"……what?"

Kanda Osamu was confused by her sudden question.

"It's about Yuigahama-san..." At this point, Yukinoshita seemed quite distressed. She asked softly, "Do you have anything else to do tomorrow?"

"I don't have anything to do tomorrow."

After confirming that he would only stay at home tomorrow, Kanda Osamu nodded and said, "When should we meet?"

Seeing that Kanda Osamu agreed to this, Yukinoshita first breathed a sigh of relief, but then showed a conflicted expression:

"…Let's meet at Lalabao at nine in the morning."

"Okay, I'll go when the time comes." Kanda Osamu smiled.

……

It seems that Yukino Yukinoshita only shows her gentle side when she is facing Yuigahama-san.

How should I put it? It feels like a mother worrying about her daughter.

8:30 in the morning, Lalaport.

Kanda Osamu got up early, which was a rare occasion. After confirming that the items in his backpack were correct, he arrived at his destination half an hour ahead of schedule.

Maybe because it was the weekend, there were still quite a lot of people in the mall. Kanda finally squeezed through the crowd and found Yukinoshita Yukino at the agreed place.

"Minister, am I not late?"

Kanda Osamu was a little surprised when he found that Yukinoshita Yukino had already arrived.

"No, I came early." Yukinoshita looked at him, shook her head and smiled lightly.

It was not until this moment that Kanda Osamu saw the minister's attire today. Her long black hair, which was originally past her shoulders, was tied into two ponytails behind her head with red ribbons. A thin blue top covered her flawless white dress. She, who usually had a calm expression, smiled slightly.

The feeling of alienation that makes people want to get closer but don’t know how to get closer is gone.

Naturally shifting his gaze away, Kanda Osamu took a breath and asked:

"Bushi, are you coming to the mall today because of Yuigahama-san?"

The girl nodded and said softly, "June 18th should be Yuigahama's birthday. I want to prepare a birthday present for her."

"Birthday present..." Upon hearing this, Kanda Osamu raised his hand to cover his mouth and fell into thought.

"Has the Minister decided what to buy?"

Unable to come up with any good ideas for a while, Kanda Osamu leaned closer to her and asked her.

Yukinoshita Yukino shook her head, a rare look of confidence not appearing on her face. She said hesitantly, "...I don't have any idea either."

"Okay..." Seeing that Yukinoshita hadn't made up her mind, Kanda Osamu sighed.

"Then let's take a look in this mall." He quickly cheered up and decided to pick a good gift today.

The focus is on the women's products area and daily necessities area.

Considering the frequency of use of daily necessities, they decided to go to the daily necessities area first. As for the women's products area, although there was a beautiful girl like Yukinoshita accompanying him, Kanda still felt a little resistant.

The two of them just wandered aimlessly through the daily necessities section looking for gifts that suited their taste.

When passing by a cooking shop, Kanda Osamu slowed down his pace, and he suddenly thought of Yuigahama's poor cooking skills at the beginning.

Or, how about buying a cookbook?

Having made up his mind, Kanda Osamu called Yukinoshita Yukino and pointed to the restaurant. There was a row of bookshelves in the restaurant filled with various cooking books.

“Simple pastry cooking tips?”

A book caught Kanda's attention with its name. He picked up the book and flipped through it carefully, then turned his head to look at Yukinoshita Yukino who was in deep thought.

"Would you like to buy a cookbook, Minister?"

Yukinoshita Yukino finally chose to give up the idea of ​​buying the cookery book. After all, Kanda Osamu had already decided to give it to her, and... maybe her subconscious mind was also telling her that it might be of no use to Yuigahama.

The two of them set out on their journey to look for gifts again. There were a lot of things in the daily necessities section, and to Kanda Osamu's surprise, the doll shop was also divided into the daily necessities section.

Is this a spiritual necessity?

Perhaps because he was amused by his own thought, Kanda Osamu did not notice the emotion in Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes at first.

It wasn't until Yukinoshita suddenly turned her head and looked at him with a smile that he noticed the minister's little thoughts.

"...Do you want to go in and take a look, Minister?" Kanda Osamu shrugged helplessly.

The dolls in this store are very rich, including many famous dolls of all kinds. Perhaps they really meet the spiritual needs. After Yukinoshita Yukino walked into this store, Kanda Osamu could feel that her mood became a little happier.

She picked from the first counter she saw when she entered the door to the sixth counter, and finally stopped in front of a panda doll holding a bamboo in its mouth.

This doll with bared teeth and sharp eyes is easily reminiscent of the naughty panda in Pokémon.

There are many cute dolls in the store. Kanda Osamu looked around and saw that Yukinoshita Yukino was still staring at this doll. Finally, he turned his attention to the panda in front of him.

He said he came out to accompany the minister to help Yuigahama prepare a birthday present, but in fact he had his own little thoughts. If he could get to know Minister Yukinoshita better while going out shopping, he would certainly be more willing to do these things.

Thinking of this, Kanda took a few steps closer and lowered his voice and asked, "Buyer, is this Johnny the Panda?"

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at him in surprise, her voice as cold as ever, "Kanda-kun knows about this too?"
