Chapter 118 Shopping

"As expected, that guy Wei is the last to arrive." As he walked towards the three familiar figures in front of him, Nakamura Mine exclaimed, "As expected."

"Well~ After all, there are still ten minutes before the agreed time, so let's wait for her." Seeing Nakamura Mine walking over lazily, Tianzhong Ritsu also showed a helpless expression.

"Wait a minute, why are you still wearing the uniform?!" Because they were used to seeing it, they didn't really pay attention to Nakamura Mine's attire at first, but after Tian Zhongli's sudden remarks, they all looked over in surprise.

"Ah, you're talking about this. Actually, it's because I seem to have grown a lot taller recently, and many of my old clothes don't fit me anymore. Only this new piece of clothing is suitable." What Nakamura Mine said was indeed the truth, but the changes in his body shape were mostly due to the points he gained in physical strength. However, this is something that no one would believe even if he said it.

After hearing his words, the three girls subconsciously looked at Nakamura Mine, especially Tianzhong Ritsu, who even stood on tiptoe to compare her height with Nakamura Mine with her hands, but she was only a little over 1.5 meters tall and this was completely humiliating herself.

"By the way, what's your height, Feng?" Seeing Tianzhong Ritsu's unwilling expression, Akiyama Mio found it a little funny and turned to ask Nakamura Feng this question.

"Well... I haven't measured it recently, but it should be close to 1.80 meters, right?" Nakamura Mine said uncertainly. In fact, when he first came, this body was just 1.7 meters tall. Because of the points he added, it has grown so much in just a few months. Even Goto Ichiri and the others who he spends time with almost every day said that they seemed to have grown taller. As a result, he has completely lost the desire to continue adding points to his physical strength.

He feels that his current height is just right. He is not aiming to be an athlete, and being taller will only cause him trouble.

"You're really tall. Many boys in our class aren't much taller than me." Akiyama Mio is 1.6 meters tall, which is considered tall among girls, but there's still a big gap when she stands next to Nakamura Mine.

"Not really? Even if he's 1.80 meters tall, he can't be considered particularly tall among today's high school students, right?" In school, Nakamura Mine really didn't pay much attention to students other than the light music club.

"Damn it! Hurry up! Give me some of your extra height!" Tianzhong Ritsu seemed to be very concerned about his height, and pulled Nakamura Mine's collar unwillingly.

"How is it possible that I got a share? Stop it now." Akiyama Mio hit Tianzhong Ritsu on the forehead.

"It's okay. You're not even sixteen yet. You still have a chance." Nakamura Mine patted Tian Zhongri's shoulder. He said comforting words, but his expression was full of smugness.

"Damn it! I must grow taller to show you." Tianzhong Ritsu groaned unwillingly.

"I'll cheer for you too." Kotobuki Tsumugi made a cheering gesture to Tiananaka Ritsu.

"Tsumugi~" Tianzhong Ritsu was so moved that she hugged the only person present who was willing to truly comfort her.

Time passed quickly as they were playing around, and the agreed time had arrived.

"Ah, Wei~ Over here, over here!" Tian Zhongli was the first to spot Hirasawa Wei across the street and quickly called her over. Hirasawa Wei also heard her companion's call and hurriedly crossed the road and ran over. In the process, she even bumped into a passerby. Fortunately, neither of them was knocked to the ground.

After crossing the road, Hirasawa Yui was attracted by a small dog that was being led by a leash. She squatted down and kept stroking the dog.

"There are only a few meters left, why don't you come over?" Tian Zhongli stared blankly at Hirasawa Yui, who was less than five meters away. Most of the others reacted in the same way. Nakamura Mine was speechless and raised his head and held his forehead.

"I can already imagine her stopping every three steps on the shopping street." Nakamura Mine's words were unanimously agreed by the other three.

Ping Zewei finally met up with a few people, and just as he expected, Ping Zewei was attracted by all kinds of such shops along the way and couldn't be stopped.

"I can afford it now..." Hirasawa Yui unknowingly ran to a clothing store. She looked at the bright yellow dress on the mannequin at the door.

"Hey, hey~" Tianzhong Ritsu walked over and tried to pull Hirasawa Yui back, but unfortunately he failed and Hirasawa Yui easily broke free.

"Let's go in and take a look." After saying this, Hirasawa Yui trotted into the clothing store.

This made Nakamura Mine and the others dumbfounded, but they could only look at each other and follow helplessly.

Although everyone seemed to be accompanying Hirasawa Yui at the beginning, gradually it seemed that except for the boy Nakamura Mine, everyone seemed to be completely immersed in the fun of choosing clothes.

Nakamura Mine was not too interested in this, he just waited quietly on the side for everyone to finish the task.

"Hmm..." Nakamura Mine, who was yawning, suddenly found that the girl Hirasawa Yui had run in front of him at some point, holding several sets of men's casual clothes in her hands.

"This feels good..." Hirasawa Yui said seriously while trying the red sweater on Nakamura Mine.

"What are you doing?" Seeing that Hirasawa Yui was in great spirits, Nakamura Mine didn't think of stopping her. After all, half of them were out for fun, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to let them have fun before buying a guitar.

But looking at Hirasawa Wei, why did she pick it up for herself?

"Xiaofeng, you don't have many clothes, right? So we'll pick some for you." The speaker was Kotobuki Tsumugi, who walked over with a white shirt in her hand. Then Tiananaka Ritsu and Akiyama Mio also came over with some clothes in their hands.

At first, Nakamura Mine was a little touched when he saw this situation, but as several people brought more clothes and asked him to go into the fitting room to change clothes, he realized that these girls were using him as a dress-up doll.

The shop assistant originally wanted to come over and remind the noisy people, but when she saw Nakamura Feng, who looked so cool after changing into a sweatshirt, she stopped thinking about it for a moment, and secretly took out her cell phone to take a photo of Nakamura Feng.

In the end, after spending more than an hour in this store, everyone left satisfied.

Chapter 119: Catching Dolls

At this time, Nakamura Mine was holding a lot of bags in his hands. Of course, these were not from the girls around him but were bought by him for himself.

As I mentioned before, many of my previous clothes no longer fit me, so I took this opportunity to buy some casual clothes. After all, the formal school uniform of Sakuragaoka High School is not that comfortable to wear.

Besides, it is indeed strange that he wears school uniform every day on weekends when he hangs out outside. He is not some young lady from Tokiwadai.

However, the clothes in his hands were basically picked by several people in the light music club, so the styles are different. He himself is not very particular about clothes, so as long as the ones picked by others do not look particularly weird or too expensive, he will buy them.

Although it cost a lot of money in the end, it is also a necessary expense.

Just now in the fitting room, Nakamura Mine acted like a very qualified puppet. To be honest, he was shopping in a clothing store with several cute girls, so why was he the only one trying on clothes in the end?

Isn't it generally the other way around?

But the result is not bad.

The few people who left the clothing store did not go straight to the target musical instrument store. Instead, they ran to the game hall on the street at the suggestion of Tianzhong Ritsu.

"This is?"

Surprisingly, the person who seemed the happiest in the game hall was neither Ritsu Tainaka who took the initiative to propose it nor the playful Yui Hirasawa, but Tsumugi Kotobuki who always maintained an elegant demeanor.

"Claw machine, Tsumugi, this isn't your first time in an arcade, is it?" After answering the other party's question, Tianzhong Ritsu asked hesitantly. Although they could more or less feel that Kotobuki Tsumugi's family background should be quite good, it shouldn't be the case that she has never been to a place like this, right?

"Yeah!" But Kotobuki Tsumugi readily admitted this, and then stared at a person who was catching dolls, probably wanting to carefully learn the other person's operating steps.

"Is this true?" Although she asked the question herself, Tianzhong Ritsu did not expect to get a positive answer.

"I was basically not allowed to go out alone before, so I had no chance to come to places like this." Her eyes were focused on the doll that was caught in mid-air, and as it fell halfway, Kotobuki Tsumugi's expression became visibly lost.

"Why don't you try it yourself?" Seeing how interested she was, Nakamura Mine, who had just exchanged some game coins, grabbed a handful of them and put them in Kotobuki Tsumugi's hand.

"Yeah!" Kotobuki Tsumugi jumped and ran to the claw machine.

"She's just like a little kid." Kotobuki Tsumugi's style was completely different from her usual style, which made Nakamura Mine quite amused.

"As for kids, there are two more over here." Akiyama Mio's voice came from the side. Nakamura Mine looked in the direction the other person's eyes were looking, and saw Tiananaka Ritsu and Hirasawa Yui squatting in front of the arcade machine and pressing buttons randomly.

"You're really quick." Nakamura Mine frowned.

"What about you? Is there anything you want to play?" he asked Akiyama Mio who was standing beside him. Nakamura Mine himself had no interest in places like game halls. He himself had never played any games, and he had basically no interest in the facilities in the game hall, mainly because he was not very good at playing.

"I don't need it." It can be seen that Akiyama Mio is probably not very interested in these things like Nakamura Mine. The two of them found a seat and sat down waiting for those people to finish their fun.

Due to the absence of the two restless guys, Tainanaka Ritsu and Hirasawa Yui, the atmosphere on Nakamura Mine and Akiyama Mio's side fell into a strange silence for a while.

"Mio is a left-handed bassist, right?" In order to make the atmosphere less awkward, Nakamura Mine started to make small talk.

"Ah."

"It must be hard to sell musical instruments. It's hard to find those that are specially made for left-handed people," continued Nakamura Mine.

"Hmm..." Akiyama Mio stared at the ground and answered indifferently.

(Eh~ I can’t really continue this conversation. I didn’t do anything that would make me dislike you, did I?)

Nakamura Mine tried hard to recall his previous interactions with Akiyama Mio, trying to find out why the other party was so cold, but that was not the case.

At this moment, Akiyama Mio's brain was in an extremely nervous state because a pair of female junior high school students who just passed by were whispering in a very loud voice.

The content is as follows:

"Hey, look, there's a super handsome guy over there."

"Really? What's the matter? Do you want to ask for contact information?"

"How is that possible? The girl next to him must be his girlfriend. She's also a very beautiful person."

"Well~ This is probably what they call a talented man and a beautiful woman. It's really enviable."

"That's it."

The above conversation has led to Akiyama Mio's current state where she almost dares not raise her head. She just mechanically responded to Nakamura Mine's words beside her, and actually did not hear any of the content.

She was a shy person by nature, and she didn't know how to get along with boys of the same age. Although they had become familiar with each other over the past two days, she was only able to relax when other people were around. However, sitting together with Nakamura Mine naturally made her a little nervous, and as a result, two girls passing by said such words.

They were actually mistaken for a couple or something. Just thinking about it made Akiyama Mio's head start to smoke.

"I'll go and play too. Mio, do you have any dolls you want?" After thinking for a long time without any idea, Nakamura Mine simply gave up and decided to try his best to leave a good impression on the other party no matter what.

"Hmm...eh?! Me?" It was still a subconscious answer, but after reacting, Akiyama Mio pointed at herself.

"Well, it's pretty boring to stay here all the time. Let's go to Tsumugi's place." After saying that, Nakamura Mine stood up first and walked towards Kotobuki Tsumugi who was still fighting with the claw machine.

"Huh? Oh, okay." Maybe because the incident happened suddenly, Akiyama Mio didn't think much about it and followed in small steps.

When he came in front of Kotobuki Tsumugi, Nakamura Mine saw a very rare sight. He saw Kotobuki Tsumugi with puffy cheeks staring at the inside through the glass, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

"What's wrong?" Nakamura Mine felt that Kotobuki Tsumugi was so cute that it was a bit unfair, but he still asked the question in his mind.

"Xiaofeng!" Seeing that it was Nakamura Feng who came, Kotobuki Tsumugi turned around and looked over with a hint of mist in her eyes.

"Yes, it's me." Being suddenly stared at by such a cute creature that looked aggrieved, Nakamura Mine's heart skipped a beat for a moment.

(What is this? Isn’t this a bit too unfair? Is this the legendary cute contrast?)

At this time, Akiyama Mio also came over and looked at Kotobuki Tsumugi with the same curiosity, but at this moment, two voices that seemed somewhat familiar to her sounded from behind her.

"Look, look, isn't this the good-looking couple from before? How come there's another beautiful girl?"

"Really? A love triangle?"

"That girl seems to be crying, could it be her ex coming to visit her!?"

"No, look at that girl, isn't she aggrieved? This must be the one, she was caught cheating on him."

"I see. Ugh, I thought he was handsome just now. How awful."

The discussions behind her made Akiyama Mio straighten her back unconsciously. She really wanted to turn around and grab the two girls and tell them loudly that things were not what they thought. But unfortunately, she was too shy to do that. She could only lower her head and let the blush that was only on her face slowly spread to her neck and ears, just like a cooked crab.

After listening to Kotobuki Tsumugi's explanation, Nakamura Mine couldn't help but find it even more funny. It turned out that the child was just anxious because he couldn't catch the doll.

"Let me try too. I will help you get revenge." Nakamura Mine rolled up his sleeves and looked like he was going to do something big. He then turned to Akiyama Mio behind him and asked:

"Where's Mio? Have you found anyone you like? Eh? What's wrong with you?" Turning around, Nakamura saw a face that was incredibly red, and felt a little confused.

Akiyama Mio did not answer but kept her head down and pointed in a random direction with trembling fingers.

Nakamura Mine and Kotobuki Tsumugi both looked in the direction of her finger, and then both of them, including Kotobuki Tsumugi who had a look of aggrievedness on her face, showed somewhat surprised expressions.

"This? This is really unexpected..."

Looking at the doll with a mustache and a long nose, Nakamura Mine could only say that Akiyama Mio looks so young and beautiful, but her favorite things are very special.

(Well, after all, everyone’s aesthetic taste is different, so respect it)

So, under the expectant gaze of Kotobuki Tsumugi, Nakamura Mine began to fight against the little bear that Kotobuki Tsumugi had taken a fancy to in the claw machine and the old man designated by Akiyama Mio.

five minutes later......

"Ah? Again!?"

ten minutes later......

"Damn it, I was definitely about to catch it! But it let go just when I was just a little bit away from the exit. There's something wrong! There's definitely something wrong with this machine!"

Nakamura Mine frowned, hunched over, and looked at the few remaining game coins in his hand with an unwilling look on his face.

"Well, well~ Don't worry about it, don't worry about it." Kotobuki Tsumugi, who originally looked like a bullied person, calmed down and began to comfort Nakamura Mine after seeing that his mentality changed in the same way as hers.

"This isn't my fault, is it? The machine must have been tampered with!" Nakamura Mine is now full of indignation. When he was watching anime before, he thought that Japanese claw machines might be more conscientious than Chinese ones, but it seems that they are the same.

"Yeah, it's not Xiaofeng's problem." Kotobuki Tsumugi touched Nakamura Feng's head to comfort her.

"Woo~" Nakamura Mine, who was comforted gently, felt even more ashamed.

He calculated in his mind that the game coins he had spent could probably be used to sell several of the two dolls. Feeling the two squirming balls of fur in his pocket, an idea uncontrollably emerged in his mind.

"Ahem~ Tsumugi, actually I have a secret trick of catching dolls that I haven't used yet. Now I'm going to use it. Can you close your eyes first?" Nakamura Mine said to Kotobuki Tsumugi seriously, then he glanced at Akiyama Mio who was still looking down at her toes, feeling that there was no need for any extra requests.

"Eh?" Kotobuki Tsumugi tilted her head dazedly, but soon closed her eyes tightly at the urging of Nakamura Mine. Then, perhaps to prove that she would never peek, she squatted down and buried her head in her knees with her hands.

(So ​​I say that you are being too foul...)

Nakamura Mine was once again touched by the other person's behavior and couldn't help scratching his cheek. Then he looked around to make sure that no one was looking at him, put his hands in his pockets and took out two furry creatures. They were Xiao Zuo and Xiao You who were still dozing off.
