In the anime, people are in everyday Tokyo, but they are playing the reincarnation game

"Why is it right?"

Asagiri explained seriously.

"Even though shopping for clothes is so boring that it's almost torture for me, when you contacted me, I immediately agreed. I can't explain how much you hold in my heart."

"Eh... now that you mention it, it seems to make sense."

Kato Megumi muttered to herself first, then came to her senses, stared at Asagiri's face, and a look of emotion appeared on her face.

"By the way, Utsunomiya-san, you're quite skilled at dealing with girls. Did you hone your skills while hanging out with Asuna and Kotoko?"

"Don't accuse anyone wrongly."

Asagiri shook his head and replied with a chuckle.

"This is pure talent on my part."

"You're pretty proud of yourself."

Kato Hui smiled, tidied her medium-length hair, and said softly.

"Okay, enough kidding. I actually contacted Asuna and Kotoko, but one of them said she hadn't recovered yet and wanted to go home to rest, and the other said she had to go handle a request from local youkai in Tokyo. She also asked youkai she's familiar with to spread the news that she's recovered. She doesn't want youkai who don't know her to call her a fake just because she's healthy. So... I can only ask you to accompany me."

Asagiri sighed and pretended to be disappointed.

"Alas, it turns out I'm the backup option."

"You're definitely not an alternative, but..."

Kato Megumi pursed her lips and then spoke.

"Mainly, I have to buy underwear today."

"Wow, isn't that a perfect match for your major?"

Chao Wu waved his hand and spoke with great dignity.

"I know a lot about underwear."

Kato Megumi reached out and tugged at his sleeve, blushing and whispering a reminder.

"Hey, we're still on the street... Everyone is looking at us, don't be so loud..."

Asagiri said confidently: "Haven't you always wanted to increase your presence?"

Kato Hui held her forehead and sighed: "This is not the kind of presence I want..."

...............

Half an hour later, in a clothing store on the street.

"Hmm... they're all a bit expensive..."

Kato Megumi looked at a white dress. Although she was satisfied with the appearance of the dress, when she saw the price of "four thousand five hundred yen" on the label, she reluctantly gave up the idea of buying the dress.

"For a spring dress, this price isn't expensive. It's even cheap, right?"

Hearing Asagiri's words, Kato Megumi turned her head to look at the luxury brand casual wear the other person was wearing, and sighed slightly.

"I'm just an ordinary student. I don't have that much pocket money. Don't mention it. Besides the school uniform, everything else is expensive luxury brands. I've heard Kotoko say that the clothes she wears seem to be specially designed and made according to her aesthetic. They are unique and you will never see anyone wearing the same clothes as you. Asuna's clothes are not that exaggerated, but it's just a short-sleeved shirt, and it costs 20,000 or 30,000 yen. I also need to buy sportswear later. My budget is quite tight, so I better choose more."

"How about...I buy it for you?"

"How is that possible?"

Kato Megumi showed an unhappy look on her face. She turned around and stared at Asagiri's face very seriously, and said in a serious tone.

"Even though we're friends... no, precisely because we're friends, we need to be clear about what's going on, right? It's fine if we just exchange gifts occasionally, but for things like buying clothes, even if you don't need the money, I definitely can't let you pay."

After Kato Megumi finished speaking, she saw a smile on Asagiri's face, and she couldn't help but feel a little angry.

"why are you laughing?"

"What you said is exactly the same as Asuna."

"is it?"

Kato Megumi responded noncommittally, turned around and continued to pick clothes on the rack, speaking softly.

"Anyway, I need to buy three sets of underwear, one set of spring clothes, and two sets of sportswear within my limited budget. The sportswear I had a tear in a couple of days ago, so I have to buy a new one."

Asagiri asked tentatively.

"So, what's your budget...?"

Kato Megumi raised her white and tender index finger, waved it in front of him, and said with a smile.

"Twenty-five thousand yen."

"How can I afford that?"

"Hmm? You can buy it."

Kato Megumi retracted her fingers, counted on them, and muttered to herself.

"Well... if I were to shop online, 10,000 yen should be enough for a spring skirt and jacket, and 5,000 yen would be enough for two sets of sportswear. Sportswear just needs to be durable, so I don't need to have any particularly high standards. But the remaining 10,000 yen isn't enough for underwear... After all, it's underwear, so the quality shouldn't be too bad..."

Listening to Kato Megumi's mumbling and watching her carefully calculating, Asagiri couldn't help but smile.

"No matter how you calculate it, it's not enough, right?"

"It's not enough...but..."

Kato Megumi raised her cute face and said seriously.

"That's what a typical high school girl is like. She has to plan how to use her pocket money, buy clothes, go out with friends, buy magazines, dolls, accessories, and other things. She has to be very careful with her budget."

"So, let me buy you the sportswear. This isn't just about you, it's about our entire team, so it's reasonable."

"Um..."

Kato Megumi raised her hand to support her fair chin, with a look of hesitation on her face. After all, for an ordinary high school girl like her, entering the dungeon three times a month means buying at least three more sets of sportswear every month, and this is the kind of extra expense that cannot be explained and cannot be brought up with her parents.

"Oh well."

After hearing that Kato Megumi agreed, Asagiri had no time to speak, but Kato Megumi immediately added.

"But, since this is a team matter, if you buy me two sets of sportswear, you have to buy them for Asuna and Kotoko, otherwise... it won't feel right."

"Let's just forget about them."

"Hmm? You can't do that."

Kato Megumi frowned slightly and spoke in a serious tone.

"Although Kotoko seems heartless, she is a girl after all, and Asuna is your first teammate. How can you only buy things for me and not for them? They will be angry with you, right?"

"You're right, but..."

Asagiri couldn't help laughing as she looked at Kato Megumi who had a serious expression on her face.

"Asuina has light armor, and Kotoko always wears her own dress when she goes into a dungeon. Why would we buy sportswear for them both? Besides me, you're the only one in our team who needs something like this, right?"

"Forehead..."

Upon hearing this, Kato Megumi was stunned for a moment, then turned her head and coughed twice to hide her embarrassment.

"Oh yeah... then... then why don't you buy something else for them..."

Asagiri flatly refused: "No."

Kato Hui was puzzled: "Why?"

Asagiri shrugged and explained casually.

"Didn't I already tell you? Buying you sportswear is a matter concerning the entire team, not a personal gift. If it was a gift out of personal affection, then we should treat them equally and avoid favoritism. There's no need to give gifts specifically to these two."

"I see..."

Kato Megumi nodded as if she understood, then walked to the white dress she had just taken a fancy to, took it off, and smiled.

"Then I'll buy this one."

"Hmm? You're not going to pick anymore?"

Hearing Asagiri's question, Kato Megumi turned around, shook her head, and looked at Asagiri standing there with a very gentle expression and a hint of playfulness, and spoke in a soft tone.

"You think shopping is boring, so... just buy this one~"

............

Twenty minutes later, in a women's lingerie store.

"Utsunomiya-san..."

Seeing Asagiri following her closely and accompanying her in choosing underwear, even with Kato Megumi's calm personality, she couldn't help feeling a little shy when she felt the curious gazes from the surrounding customers and shopping guides.

"Um... You don't have to accompany me. Like those other guests' boyfriends, sit in the lounge and wait... Ah, that's not right."

Halfway through her words, Kato Megumi realized her slip of the tongue and quickly waved her hand to explain.

"I mean, you're a man too, so just sit with them in the lounge area and wait. I'm not saying you're mine..."

"It does not matter."

Seeing Asagiri's nonchalant look, Kato Megumi said shyly.

"Wouldn't you be embarrassed?"

"Why am I embarrassed?"

Asagiri replied in a matter-of-fact tone, as if she had heard something unbelievable.

"I'm here to help you pick out underwear. It's not like I'm going to wear it myself. What's there to be embarrassed about?"

Chapter 54:052 Mita's Wish

Hearing this, Kato Megumi was stunned for a moment, opened her lips, but didn't know what to say.

What Asagiri said... doesn't seem to be a problem at all.

"If you don't feel embarrassed, then stay with me."

Kato Megumi didn't care too much, but Asagiri kept following her. She didn't know if it was because the other person's appearance was too outstanding, or because it was too rare to see a high school boy and a girl choosing underwear together. In short, the customers and shopping guides in the store were all looking at the two of them curiously, which made her, who had never received much attention since she was a child, feel a little uncomfortable.

"Hmm...this suit...but it doesn't seem very comfortable to wear."

Looking at Kato Megumi, who was wearing Toyonosaki's school uniform and choosing underwear calmly, and the outstanding-looking Asagiri following beside him, the female customers and the shopping guides in the store couldn't help but smile.

Is this the innocence of high school lovers?

Even though the young couple were both very shy, they pretended to be very calm and didn't want to separate for even a moment.

Youth is great.

..............

After buying the underwear and leaving the store, Kato Megumi looked at Asagiri who was carrying the bags for her, raised her hand to tuck her long hair by her ears, and said softly.

"Utsunomiya-san, thank you for coming to buy clothes with me today. I've already bought them. Next, let's..."

"Next, it's your turn to help me."

"Hmm? A favor for you?"

Hearing what Asagiri said, Kato Megumi felt confused but also a little happy in her heart.

What puzzled her was that she didn't know what Utsunomiya needed her help with, but what made her happy was that although Kato Megumi was a considerate and emotionally intelligent girl and didn't want to drag Asagiri to accompany her shopping all the time, deep down in her heart, she still hoped to stay with Asagiri as much as possible.

"Let's go."

Asagiri didn't explain much, but walked forward. It was the rush hour and the flow of people on the street became a little congested.

"Don't get lost."

"Ah."

Kato Megumi responded obediently, reached out and held Asagiri's sleeve, showing a gentle smile, looking at Asagiri's profile, and said softly.

"But if it's Utsunomiya-san, you'll be able to find me right away even in a crowd, right?"

"of course."

Asagiri nodded and spoke softly.

"After all, for me..."

"Kato Megumi is special."
