People are collapsing, but Kevin

At least, there is someone to accompany me now...

Chapter 14: A Date with the Fairy Lady

After that, Mei took a week off.

There was nothing to be wary of, no pressure of competition, and I even made a verbal agreement with him to temporarily truce.

Overall, Kevin felt that life without Mei suddenly became a bit boring.

Time flies and it’s Saturday, the day we had planned to go out together.

There is a constant stream of pedestrians coming and going, and the commercial streets are most bustling on holidays. Parents who take a break from their busy schedules bring their children to buy daily necessities, young men and women in love develop their emotions, and students on vacation travel together.

The intersection in front of the main entrance of the shopping mall is particularly busy, filled with dense crowds of people. The shops lined up in all directions create a scene of bustling business. Even under the scorching sun, people's enthusiasm only increases instead of decreasing.

"Is Yuno not here yet?"

Kevin arrived as promised and pulled the red scarf around his neck. The scorching heat caused some sweat to form on his face, which felt a little itchy. He glanced at the time on his phone and looked around.

Although the policeman thought that his outfit was non-mainstream, he always felt that the scarf left by his elder brother was quite handsome. The only drawback was that the weather was rather stuffy and he couldn't wear a windbreaker.

"Hi~ I'm here! Kevin, sorry to have kept you waiting."

Not long after, a light and pleasant female voice came from the side. The familiar voice made him guess the identity of the visitor in an instant.

"No, in fact, I just arrived not long ago."

Kevin glanced to the side and saw a girl wearing a plain white tube top dress. The pure and spotless color matched the elegant temperament of her pink hair.

Oh, Yuno is wearing quite cool clothes.

But it won't be too hot today, as the temperature is rising in March. Although the sun is at its hottest around two o'clock in the afternoon, the gentle breeze is cool enough, and I feel okay even with this big red scarf wrapped around me.

"I've spent a little time getting dressed up. How do I look now? Isn't it great?"

With her eyes narrowed and smiling, the girl crossed her legs wrapped in white over-the-knee socks, and as she tiptoed, she gave him an ambiguous look with expectation.

"Well, it's not bad."

Looking at the other person's lovely smile reflected in the golden sunlight, Kevin raised his eyebrows slightly and replied casually. He actually couldn't judge these things very well.

In fact, he was more curious about why girls always liked to wear so little clothes. Aren’t they afraid of the cold?

"What? I put so much effort into dressing up, how come you don't have any reaction at all? Ugh~ Kevin, you are too slow!"

"Ah?" Kevin scratched his cheek in confusion, not really understanding what she meant. "Is that so? I think you should wear more. It doesn't seem that hot today—"

"Idiot, if you do this again I will be angry!"

With a light snort, Yuno pouted slightly in dissatisfaction, put her hands on her hips, and stepped forward. The distance seemed too close, so Kevin subconsciously wanted to step back.

However, two soft and boneless little hands seemed to have anticipated his thoughts and grasped his wrists tightly.

"I'm just kidding~" Yuno smiled and uttered a few sweet sounds, then she bent her arm and held his arm, "How could I be mad at Kevin? Even stupid people are cute in their own way."

"What? I don't think I'm stupid!"

"Let's go! It's rare for us to go out together, and I have so many places I want to go. Hmm... Let's go to the food court first, then go to the claw machine on the first floor to see if there are any new arrivals, and then take a photo together... It's really exciting just thinking about it!"

Kevin's protest was glamorously ignored as Yuno continued to talk to herself, holding onto his arm tightly.

The fragrance from the girl and the soft touch of her skin made him feel a little uncomfortable, and his cheeks under the scarf turned a little red.

Kevin shrugged helplessly. He was almost used to it. Yuno had always been like this. Her every word and action was like that of a carefree pink fairy. She did whatever she wanted and never paid attention to how many people's attention she would attract.

But being held by a beautiful girl like Yuno, he was keenly aware of the increasingly dense gazes around him, and he had obviously become the most eye-catching one.

“Oh my god…!”

This made him a little overwhelmed. It was already difficult to deal with people in a crowded place, and now it was even more embarrassing. He could only slap himself in the face and let out a long breath.

For him, this was still too much.

But having a lot of people is sometimes a good thing. During the peak holiday season, no matter how eye-catching you are, you are just a drop in the ocean in the vast crowd. Not a big problem!

Kevin quickly calmed down after realizing this.

Besides, it seems that it doesn’t really matter what others think of you. You already have a “non-mainstream” style anyway, so what is there to be afraid of?

"Wow~ Look! Kevin, it's Taiyaki!"

"But I don't really like sweets... Hey hey hey!"

His wrist was shaken, and Kevin followed her surprised gaze. Before he could express his opinion, Yuno pulled him away at a trot.

After a while, they each held a bag of freshly baked Taiyaki in their hands.

"It's so wonderful. As expected, a girl like me just can't resist sweet things."

Yuno took a nibble of the Taiyaki in her hand, a little bit of the steaming bean paste squeezed out of her lips, and she held her cheek contentedly, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, outlining a happy smile.

"Try it too, Kevin. If it gets cold, the taste will change."

"Um…"

Kevin nodded helplessly. Although he usually didn't eat sweets, since Younai paid for it, he felt embarrassed to refuse and took a small bite from the corner.

"How's it? It's quite delicious!"

"Actually, it's not bad. It's much better than I thought."

Kevin raised his eyebrows, looking at the Taiyaki that he had only taken a small bite of with a little surprise. It was not the type that was too sweet, but had a light sweetness that was different from the spicy style of his daily diet.

Apart from the stimulating taste of ice cola, this should be a rare dessert that he can accept.

Then, Yuno's actions shocked him once again.

"Let me have a taste too, eh?"

Following a slightly childish voice, the girl's light footsteps stopped, she turned sideways and leaned forward, gently pecking at the taiyaki in his hand like a dragonfly touching the water.

When Kevin reacted, his eyes dully swept across the gap in the corner of the Taiyaki, and he saw a row of small and exquisite tooth marks, which made him almost scream out loud, and his brain froze on the spot.

"This is also quite delicious. Also, there's something on the corner of your mouth, Kevin~"

Yuno smiled lightly, her aquamarine eyes showing a hint of ambiguity. She stretched out her index finger, wiped off a small bit of bean paste from the corner of his mouth, and put it into her mouth.

"You...what are you doing?!"

"Aren't we dating? Maybe we can't be considered a couple in love, hehe, but what's wrong with being a little intimate?"

As she spoke, she gently hooked her slender white arm and took hold of Kevin, who was gradually retreating, and with a little force, she narrowed the distance between them.

"Right, Kevin? You can't bear to leave me, a lovely girl, alone, right?"

"Hey, Yuno! Don't get so close...to my chest...!"

Kevin was totally unable to answer such a question. The strange touch on his arm made him unable to help but take a glance. Only then did he realize the boldness of the other person's cool outfit. The white fabric surrounded two round and snow-white jade-like bodies, revealing the delicate collarbone and full cleavage, which was much more impactful than the school uniform.

And that elastic thing pressed up softly, changing shape with every slight movement. I could feel the girl's fragrant breath in my ears. Such an intimate action was obviously no different from showing affection in the street.

This...this is too weird!

Now, Kevin has personally experienced the difference between girls and boys. Under the scorching sun, his face was red and hot as if it was steamed, and he turned his head away.

Damn it! He has no idea how to deal with this kind of girl!

As a man who is good at fighting and attacking, it is a bit difficult to contend with the pink fairy lady in daily life... well...

As for why Yuno is so angry, it’s because she is the unawakened Airi in this era. As a preview, there are other reincarnated characters like this in this book, so please stay tuned.

Chapter 5: Date with the Fairy Lady (k)

"Next, let's go check out the claw machine. Hurry up, we're running out of time."

Pulling Kevin to walk quickly into the shopping mall, Yuno stroked her chin and glanced at a row of claw machines in the distance. When she saw the dolls inside, her eyes suddenly lit up with surprise:

"Wow, Kevin, look! The dolls of the new characters in the Hom series are actually in stock now. That's great. I've always wanted a cute Homie!"

"Fine…"

Kevin responded helplessly with his eyes rolled up. He didn't understand why girls liked this kind of alternative guaranteed thing, but he had no choice but to go with them.

Rather than this, he wanted to get rid of the awkward atmosphere of being held tightly by Yuno - the two of them were too close, and he would always be squeezed by each other's chest. It was hard not to suspect that the other party was teasing him on purpose...

However, Kevin was pleasantly surprised to notice that his chance might be just around the corner, because next to the row of claw machines, there happened to be a bookstore selling the latest issue of "The King of Hoo-GAOGAIGA-"!

Wow, is this bundling marketing?

"Hey, Yuno..." He called the girl's name softly and winked at the bookstore, "Let me buy a book while you're at it."

"Yeah, come back soon. It's a rare date, so come and have fun with me."

"Okay, okay, I'll try my best."

After a while, with the joint efforts of Kevin and Yuno, although the former seemed reluctant, after spending nearly 1500 yen in coins, the claw that triggered the clamping mechanism finally grabbed a Homi doll firmly and threw it to the shipping port.

Finally getting what she wanted, Yuno held it in her arms happily, and finally someone got rid of the intimate contact with girls that he was not good at dealing with.

"Great! I got the comic (Hoomi)!"

The feeling of sitting on pins and needles suddenly relaxed. Kevin couldn't help but cheer for the joy of buying a new comic, and clapped his hands with Yuno beside him as if he had telepathy.

If he could keep his distance, he found that he could actually get along quite well with this little pink-haired girl who liked to be close to others... Maybe it was just that he was not good at dealing with enthusiastic girls?

Kevin was not sure, and he did not know what the throbbing feelings he had towards Yuno were, were they just friends? Or was it something more?

Anyway, the relationship should be pretty good, so he simply tilted his head and chose to give up thinking.

Speaking of which, the HOM series is really a magical anime. It has both the authentic mecha battle plot that can make boys excited, and the cute characters that can make girls happy. It is not difficult to understand its super popularity all over the world.

It can be said that he has fully understood the preferences of both sides. I wonder how much advice and empowerment Mr. Mu Yue Rendong received from the industry's top players to achieve such a comprehensive integration of comic technology, take advantage of the traffic dividend of the times, and achieve a dimensionality reduction attack in this ecological niche.

Moreover, compared with ordinary super robot comics, the recent plot direction seems to be unique.

"Huh? When Homu was in big trouble this time, it was Homi who came to the rescue? I thought it would be Ho La or Ho Li."

As he walked, Kevin flipped through the comic in his hand, casually glanced at the general plot, and said with some surprise.

"Don't underestimate girls, Kevin."

Yuno hugged the white rabbit-like doll tightly in her hand, chuckled, and squeezed a deep kiss towards him.

A look of interest.

"Think about it, there are girls as strong as Mei-chan. It's interesting that the new mecha pilot is actually a pretty girl."

"Makes sense."

Kevin nodded in understanding and closed the comic. Now that Mei was mentioned, it was hard not to think about things related to her.

The more he learned about it, the more he felt that the girl's situation was worrying. At least, she was not to the point where she had to rely on rice and potato chips.

"I don't know how Mei is doing lately... um!"

Suddenly, a pair of small, soft fingertips blocked his lips. Looking closely, Yuno held the doll with her right hand and extended a finger to her lips, and said, "Shhh":

"Don't talk about your troubles when you're on a date~"

Hearing this, Kevin realized that it might not be appropriate to talk about another girl while on a date with another girl and say something that might spoil the mood, so he stopped talking with a little embarrassment.

Just as he was thinking about how to smooth things over, a shrill cry came from a distance. He looked up and saw a little boy about six years old wiping his tears at the door of a children's clothing store, as if he had been separated from his parents.

He was not the only one who noticed this. Passersby more or less cast strange glances at the child. Some felt sorry for his loneliness, some seemed disgusted by his noise, and of course, most of them blamed his parents for their carelessness.

Regardless of these attitudes, there is actually one thing in common so far, which is that all support except help is provided.

"Okay, okay, don't cry. Boys should be strong."

Almost without thinking, Yuno walked forward quickly, with a gentle smile on her face, bowed slightly, and asked in a concerned tone:

"What's wrong? Tell your sister, are you separated from your mother?"

"Um…"

The boy sobbed and nodded vigorously, as if he finally felt a little safe. He rubbed his eyes with his hands, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and his sad crying slowly stopped.

"Just...just for a moment I wasn't paying attention...and then...Mom, Mom disappeared..."

"Yes, I know. You must be worried because you can't find your mom. Don't be afraid, your sister is here."
