There are always girls in bands who want to date me

A handsome black-haired boy wearing a Yugaoka uniform and a pink-haired girl held in his arms like a princess. As the two slowly stopped, the setting sun cast their figures forward.

The surrounding streets were very quiet, with only a few people sitting on the steps not far away playing with their mobile phones. They were surrounded by lush trees and the sound of flowing water from the fountain.

White pigeons on the ground gathered in groups, seemingly looking for food.

The shadows of Sakuragawa Aki and Chihaya Aine intertwined and extended straight forward.

In the direction of the shadow,

A girl with short gray hair was sitting on the bottom step with her hands on her knees. The orange-red sunset added a touch of refinement to her petite figure, like a beautiful painting of nature.

"Actually, when it comes to 'escaping,' most people subconsciously want to escape to a familiar, safe place, like home, bedroom, or secret base..."

Sakuragawa Aki narrowed his dark eyes and smiled gently at the cute little girl.

"But unfortunately, I don't seem to have any familiar places in this world. So, if I want to escape, my destination is among my friends."

The uneasy little penguin, with half of his face buried under his knees and his head lowered, seemed to have noticed something.

Following the guidance of her heart, she slowly raised her head and happened to meet the eyes of the black-haired boy standing quietly not far away and the pink-haired girl in his arms.

The next moment, the uneasiness and confusion on the girl's face disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, and what emerged was a hint of surprise and peace of mind.

"...Aine-chan! Akira!"

Gao Songdeng stood up quickly, staggered slightly, and then ran towards the two of them.

Her short gray hair fluttered in the wind, and the hem of her uniform skirt was like a blooming flower, making her petite figure look particularly cute.

"Deng-chan..."

Chihaya Aine murmured, a touch of emotion showing on her face, and one hand gently covering her cherry lips.

“So, Aine, if you want to run away next time, remember… to run to your friends.” Sakuragawa Aki blinked lightly, with a hint of tenderness in her eyes and a confident smile on her lips.

"Also, don't forget, I have a photographic memory."

Chapter 109: A date with the pink-haired aquarium?

[Physical Fitness: LV3]

[Introduction: You possess exceptional physical strength, primarily manifested in your endurance, speed, strength, and flexibility during exercise. You are now comparable to a well-trained average person, with endurance being particularly evident. Your body is able to generate sufficient energy and enhance its functions to sustain prolonged exercise at a reasonable intensity.]

[In short, if you really want, the sports meets held during your three years of high school can probably become the last leg of a relay race.]

[However, as a boy, you might have to compete with the girls at Hanegaoka Academy, where men are scarce. I wonder if you have the heart to bring serious psychological trauma to the girls under the spotlight (laughs).]

…………

No, after all, the sports meet should have separate male and female groups.

Sakuragawa Aki shook his head.

However, if there are only a few people signing up for the men's group, I guess they will just "make do" with the women's group?

Well, using physical strength that is close to the level of professional athletes to torture these delicate female JKs, are you really not afraid of being collectively subjected to cold violence by the girls afterwards?

Do you think I'm playing Qingyu (my mother) Feiyang! ?

“…Qiuqiu.”

No, if you think about it carefully, as long as you are handsome, you might even gain some popularity afterwards... ?

"Qiuqiu!"

A girl's sweet call came to his ears, and his sleeve was gently pulled. Sakuragawa Aki came back to his senses and looked at the pink-haired girl beside him.

ー澪?樲⒉８３○⒐仈

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Qiuqiu, Dengdeng seems to be missing, look..."

Chihaya Aine pointed to the back. Behind a few scattered people queuing, the center of the hall was empty.

The little penguin that was waiting there had disappeared without a trace at some point.

"Hmm... maybe Deng couldn't wait and went in first?" Sakuragawa Aki said after thinking for a moment.

"Eh?"

The three of them are now in the aquarium.

After meeting the little penguin, the girl took the two of them to this aquarium.

Afterwards, Aine-chan's strength recovered a little, so she patted Sakuragawa Aki's chest with a flushed face, indicating that she was ready to come down and walk.

At this time, Sakuragawa Aki and Chihaya Aine were still queuing up at the ticket office to buy tickets, but the little penguin who was supposed to be waiting for them at the back seemed to have been impatient and went in first.

"Hmm...it seems I can only go in and look for Xiao Deng later."

Because it was a weekday, there were not many people visiting the aquarium, and it wasn't long before Sakuragawa Aki and Chihaya Aine were the first to line up.

"...Ah, hello, thank you for your patronage. One ticket is 2600 yen."

The ticket seller lady sitting behind the ticket window said with a little enthusiasm.

As she spoke, she stared at Sakuragawa Aki's face in a trance, with a slight blush on her pretty face.

"By the way, sir, there's a discount for buying an annual pass now. For only 4400 yen, you can visit here as many times as you want throughout the year. Ah...and if this is your first time here, I can also provide you with a free guided tour!"

"Um...that." Sakuragawa Aki smiled slightly awkwardly.

The death of my uncle

"No need! ... Please give us two regular tickets, thank you!"

The pink-haired girl standing next to Sakuragawa Akira said this while slapping a few banknotes on the table at the ticket office window.

Chihaya Aine was gently pulling his sleeve with one hand, her body pressed very close to him, as if she was declaring some sovereignty, her cheeks slightly puffed, and she looked at the other person with a slightly unfriendly look.

"...Ah, okay, here are your tickets, please keep them..." The ticket seller handed over the two tickets with both hands, feeling a little disappointed, with a pitiful expression on her pretty face.

Well...actually, if you think about it carefully, if you can come here more than twice a year, then buying an annual pass is worth it. After all, you may have to come here with the little penguin in the future.

Apart from the little penguins, I guess not many people would come to the aquarium more than twice a year.

Moreover, the aquarium is also a good place for team building of the astronomy department. It’s just a pity that you can’t bring food inside, so you can’t enjoy the wonderful feeling of eating while you are deep in the sea.

However, before Sakuragawa Aki could figure it out, she was quickly pulled away from the ticket office by Chihaya Aine.

The two of them held hands gently without any barrier.

…………

“…Aine?”

QQ: 814 9 0 37 98

The two walked into the aquarium. Sakuragawa Aki looked at the back of the pink-haired girl who was walking in front of him with her head down, and at his hand which was being gently held by the girl, and asked softly.

Aine-chan's hands were very soft, and the strength with which she pulled him was very gentle, as if she was a little shy and didn't dare to use too much force.

Hearing his soft call, Chihaya Aine slowed down her pace.

"...Humph, that woman has a malicious expression on her face. Qiuqiu, be careful. Stay away from women like that in the future."

The pink-haired girl said in a low voice as if she was being upset.

"Hmm... Is this a girl's sixth sense?" Looking at the girl who was walking beside her again, Sakuragawa Aki said with a chuckle.

"Of course."

The pink-haired girl lowered her eyes and spoke hesitantly.

The two of them were still holding hands gently, but unlike the ambiguous 'fingers interlocked' between lovers, it was more like a friendly handshake between friends.

However, for people of the same sex, holding hands like this is quite normal, but for friends of the opposite sex, it is a little ambiguous no matter what.

“…Aine-chan, you don’t think of me as the opposite sex, do you?”

Sakuragawa Aki narrowed his dark eyes, a faint smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he spoke as if hinting at something.

"However, holding hands with a boy might be misunderstood by outsiders."

“…That’s not the case.” Chihaya Aine clenched her hands slightly, raised her head slightly, and looked at the tall and handsome boy who was very close to her.

"Before, it was Qiuqiu who clearly said that if you want to 'escape', you should hold your friend's hand and run away together... Now, are you going to go back on your word?"

Well, although she said so, the girl's eyes were a little evasive. There was a hint of water in her light grey eyes, and a blush appeared on her pretty face, making her look particularly cute.

Facing this cute pink-haired boy pretending to be silly, Sakuragawa Akiya smiled helplessly.

The so-called hand-in-hand with friends is just a figure of speech no matter how you look at it.

The two walked in the slightly dim aquarium, surrounded by a faint blue halo, making people feel as if they were at the bottom of the sea, personally experiencing it.

There is a huge curved glass above the head, with schools of fish swimming around in it. The surroundings are very quiet, with only the gentle sound of water echoing in the ears.

Well, with this kind of atmosphere, no wonder the aquarium is called a dating destination.

For couples, whether it is an amusement park or a zoo, they can only enjoy the fun of playing. The crowds and noisy environment around them will seriously destroy the atmosphere.

However, in this very quiet and enclosed aquarium, surrounded by a dreamy scene like the bottom of the sea, with only the sound of slowly flowing water in your ears, a sense of ambiguity naturally arises.

It makes people clearly realize that they are alone together.

Chapter 110 The drummers have already lost

The aquarium's unique environment and atmosphere are like a perfect place for confession.

I think the success rate of confessing here will be much higher, after all, girls are more emotional.

However, given the relationship between Sakuragawa Aki and Chihaya Aine, it is natural that they have not yet reached the point where they can confess their feelings to each other. The two of them can only be considered to have a close relationship beyond "friends".

Usuki

Besides, Aine-chan has just experienced a trauma and she probably hasn't fully recovered yet.

Sakuragawa Aki lowered his eyes and looked at the pink-haired girl beside him.

The soft blue light adds a touch of dreaminess to the girl's long pink hair, as if at this moment, the person walking beside her is not her usual classmates and friends who laugh and play, but a charming mermaid girl living on the bottom of the sea.

The curved glass surface above is clear and translucent. Rows of fish swim overhead, their smooth and slender bodies like musical notes, and their silvery-white scales are clearly visible.

As the saying goes, fish that are not good-looking enough are not worthy of being in the aquarium and eating public food (laughs).

“Aine, you…”

"Qiuqiu, I have something to tell you..."

After walking in silence for a while in the aquarium's underwater tunnel, Sakuragawa Aki and Chihaya Aine spoke at the same time.

After saying that, both of them looked at each other in surprise.

The girl's light gray eyes widened slightly, and Sakuragawa Aki saw his own reflection clearly in them. He was slightly surprised for a moment, then smiled softly.

"You go first, Aine."

Chihaya Aine bit her cherry lips lightly and looked at him with a little hesitation.

"...Qiuqiu, what did you want to say just now?"

In response to her question, Sakuragawa Aki turned his head, looked forward, and slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

"Well, what I want to ask is probably what Aine wants to say."

He pointed ahead and spoke softly.

“And I think that what Aine wants to say isn’t just for me alone.”

In front of the two of them, a petite girl with short gray hair was standing quietly, slightly raising her head and looking at the huge square glass above.

In the water, black and white penguins are swimming in groups, their formations sometimes scattered and sometimes closely connected.

Gao Songdeng was staring at the black-footed penguins in the water, completely ignoring everything around him.

By the way, Xiao Deng dragged the two of them to the aquarium, but as soon as they arrived at the door, she couldn't contain her excitement and went straight to the penguin area. She is really a single-threaded girl.
