I won't be a loser.

It’s not very expensive, but it’s not cheap either. I can definitely buy this dress with my savings, but after buying this dress, the rest of the clothes can almost only be looked at. My budget is not very sufficient.

"Ms. Shopkeeper."

The wise man looked at the hesitant girl and directly called the waitress over.

"Can I help you?"

"Your size?"

After staring at Futaba Rio, Xianren asked a question.

"........"

She knew that Kento didn't have any special intentions, but seeing Kento staring at her like that, Futaba Rio still felt a little strange. She looked at the shop assistant beside her, pursed her lips, and closed her eyes.

"Just go try it on. I'll wait for you here."

Without waiting for the other person to speak, she signaled with her eyes to the clerk, who understood and smiled and pointed in the direction of the changing room. Futaba Rio opened her eyes, glanced at Xianren, and walked towards the changing room with the clothes in her arms.

Although Futaba Rio was not by his side, Kento's handsome looks gave him full security, and no one would think that he was a dangerous person. The women who entered the store also paused their gazes on Kento's face and silently began to choose clothes.

Obviously, a single man would not enter such a place alone. Even if his girlfriend was not around, no one would take the initiative to approach and talk to Xianren.

About seven or eight minutes later, Futaba Rio appeared in front of Xianren wearing that gauze skirt. The slightly transparent stand-up collar chiffon shirt gave Xianren a different feeling when worn on the girl.

"Does it fit?"

"It's hard to describe. It's not a stunning feeling, but... a refreshing feeling."

"Then, let's take this one."

"Let's take a look at the others. We've only seen one piece so far, right? Let's take a look at the others first. If there's nothing else that satisfies us, we'll just take this one."

"......"

Normally, girls would hesitate and spend a lot of time making choices, but today it was suddenly the opposite. Futaba Rio had made her decision and was about to buy it when Kento suddenly spoke up and looked at other clothes.

Looking at the smiling boy in front of her, she didn't know what he was thinking, but she felt that his suggestion made sense. She didn't rush to pay and continued shopping in the store.

"Help me wrap it up."

Seeing Futaba Rio continue to move forward, Xianren smiled and said something to the clerk, then followed her.

Cherry Blossom Season: 211. Are you cleaning your ears?

When she came out of the store, looking at Kento carrying full shopping bags in his hands, Futaba Rio didn't know how to describe her feelings. She had some expectations, but she didn't expect Kento to do this.

"I tried on three pieces of clothing and ended up buying them all. So you're so rich."

"I haven't given you any gifts. Besides, aren't these clothes bought for me to wear and see?"

"......"

Futaba Rio, who originally wanted to say something, felt that what Kento said made some sense after hearing it, and she couldn't help but remain silent for a moment, but after a moment, she stretched out her hand and handed it to Kento.

"what?"

"bill."

"What do you want this for?"

Although she was not sure what Futaba Rio wanted the invoice for, she slowly picked up the shopping bag, reached into the bag with her free left hand, found a receipt, and handed it to Futaba Rio.

The girl reached out to take the invoice, and without looking at it carefully, she stuffed it directly into her pocket, and then walked out of the store. The wise man, who didn't understand the meaning of this action, followed the girl's footsteps, walked out of the store, and continued to shop at other stores.

"I'm just looking at it, don't buy it. I'm just a little curious, it doesn't mean I want it."

After entering a cosmetics store, Futaba Rio looked at the cosmetics. After looking at them, she put the cosmetics back to their original place, turned around and set her gaze on Xianren, and gave him instructions with a serious expression.

"I don't know much about cosmetics, so I won't buy them casually. Besides, even without any cosmetics, I still think you're cute, Futaba. With cosmetics, you lose that original freshness."

"No girl hates makeup. Besides, didn't you notice that I also wore makeup when I went out today?"

Futaba Rio didn't feel anything special about Kento's praise, and didn't show any happy expression. Instead, she calmly argued with him, which made Kento come closer to her and look at her face carefully.

The sudden approaching face and the direct gaze surprised Futaba Rio. Noticing the looks from other people, she felt a little shy. She stretched out her left hand, placed it on Xianren's face, and pushed his face aside.

"Don't come so close suddenly, idiot."

"I'm just a little concerned. I can't see any traces of makeup. Eyelashes? Eyeliner?"

Futaba Rio was helpless in the face of Kento's curious gaze and did not answer him. She just walked around the store silently for a while and then walked out.

"Let's go, there's nothing I want here."

"Really? Then let's go to the next one."

The entire 'LUMINE' has a total of 6 floors for women to shop. As for the floors above the 6th floor, there are restaurants for dining. Xianren, who was a little unfamiliar with the place, didn't say much. He basically followed Futaba Rio and walked around here with the girl.

The journey from B1 to the restaurant took the two of them about three hours. It should have taken longer, but facing Kento who kept asking her "Are you interested?" and "Do you want it?", Futaba Rio was under a lot of psychological pressure, so she finished the shopping session at a relatively fast speed. When it was almost time for lunch, the two of them came to the restaurant on the top floor and found a place to sit down.

"Did you come here often before?"

"Occasionally."

"Well, I'll leave the menu to you. Just order the dishes you're interested in and order one for me as well. I don't know much about this place."

The menu was handed directly to the girl, which surprised Futaba Rio for a moment. She thought that Xianren would be more interested in ordering food. From her understanding of Xianren, he seemed to have a strong interest in cooking.

"Aren't you interested in the food here?"

"Hmm? This is just an ordinary Japanese restaurant, right? The dishes are pretty much the same flavors, so I'm not interested. But if it were a ramen restaurant, I'd be more interested."

"pasta?"

"Ramen isn't pasta, but I don't hate pasta either."

Looking at the menu in her hand, Futaba Rio was not very clear about Kento's taste. She roughly knew that Kento preferred some meat and vegetables and was not very picky about food. In addition, the seasoning seemed a bit heavy.

Flipping through the menu in front of her, Futaba Rio took a while to order dishes for two people. After calling the waiter and informing him, she set her sights on the boy opposite.

"What are you going to do during summer vacation?"

"Return to Itomori and stay for a while. Interested?"

"Would your girlfriend agree?"

"I guess he won't refuse."

Futaba Rio looked into Kento's eyes and faced the girl's gaze calmly. Kento smiled slightly, but that frank reaction made Futaba Rio a little confused.

The other person didn't seem to be joking with him, and his girlfriend might really not refuse, but...

"She won't refuse, but that doesn't mean she agrees."

"Maybe so."

“I don’t understand.”

"I also find it hard to understand her thoughts. Our relationship is quite subtle. It's not like an ordinary couple. Instead, it's more like a wife who knows her husband is having an affair but turns a blind eye."

The metaphor of husband and wife made Futaba Rio feel a little upset, but she couldn't help but frown.

"Let's talk about this afternoon. We shouldn't continue wandering around here this afternoon. Do you have a clear destination?"

"No."

"I do have a place I want to go. If you don't have anything to do, come with me."

"......"

Futaba Rio did not refuse. Going home directly after lunch was not what she had originally expected. She didn't know what to do when she got home. Since Xianren was going somewhere else, it would be okay for her to accompany him to have a look. He had already accompanied her for the whole morning. There was no reason for her to refuse when he came.

"where?"

"Maybe near Kanda Myojin Shrine. It's a place I saw last time. I think it would be interesting."

"......"

Futaba Rio actually knows a little about Kanda Myojin Shrine. Kanda Shrine is also a very famous shrine in Tokyo, especially the 'Kanda Festival' is also a very famous festival in Tokyo. And near Kanda Myojin Shrine...it seems to be Akihabara?

Her eyes fell on Xianren. She had known Xianren for quite some time, but she didn't see any otaku elements in him.

"Kanda Myojin?"

"Sotokanda, I saw a video online and it seems quite interesting. I think it's not impossible to go there alone, but it's a rare opportunity, so I wanted to invite you to go with me."

"Akihabara?"

"It should be near Akihabara. As for whether it is inside Akihabara, I'm not sure."

Xianren’s destination might be near Akihabara, but he himself is not sure if it is Akihabara. He is not very familiar with the situation there, and he only saw the video vaguely. It is still a question whether he has seen the place in the video in the past.

She stared at Xianren suspiciously for a while, not knowing where he was going, and Futaba Rio began to feel concerned.

After having lunch at a Japanese restaurant and taking a short break, around one in the afternoon, the two took the subway from Shinjuku all the way to Akihabara in Chiyoda. They didn't know what the place that Xianren mentioned was, but Futaba Rio quietly followed Xianren, and the two of them walked into Akihabara.

"Never been here before, but it seems normal?"

Futaba Rio also knew that Akihabara was the so-called "Otaku Holy Land" and had a demonized image among ordinary students. Even though it had its origins as an electronics town, it had now become synonymous with "darkness" and "dirtiness" in the eyes of most people.

"Darkness" refers to otakus, while maids wearing various maid outfits are closely linked to "dirtiness" in the eyes of some people.

If it is not necessary, some normal students will have serious discrimination against this place and will not take the initiative to go to a place like Akihabara.

"Ok?"

After hearing what Futaba Rio said, Kento showed a confused expression, not knowing what the other party meant by "normal".

"No, it's nothing."

The people walking on the street were all very ordinary. They were not as fat, dark, or weird people with silly grins as she had imagined. This made Futaba Rio feel a little relieved.

Unlike Shinjuku, where there are fashionable people everywhere, the people in Akihabara are closer to the so-called "ordinary people". Here, Futaba Rio's figure is actually a more conspicuous type. Futaba Rio, who walks with Kento, has attracted a lot of attention.

"Am I...weird here?"

"No, it's normal."

"Is that so?"

Futaba Rio didn't think there was anything wrong with it. She looked at the wise man beside her, not knowing where the place he was talking about was.

"Not here yet?"

"I didn't see it, but I did see the Mahjong Hall. I missed it a little bit and wanted to try it."

"sparrow?"

"Unparalleled national hero, four dark swordsmen riding alone, Nine Lotus Treasure Lantern...I want to become a big star."

"......The place you're talking about isn't the Mahjong House, right?"

"Well, no, let's come back and look at these mahjong parlors when we have time. Today's goal is the ear cleaning shop."

"Ear cleaning?"

Futaba Rio's strange gaze fell on Xianren. She didn't hear Xianren say where he was going. Unexpectedly, he was going to an ear cleaning shop. The girl frowned and didn't know how to describe her mood at the moment.

Is there any need to go to the store for something like this that I can handle myself?

"You'll know once you go there."

He smiled at Futaba Rio, and the two walked on the street for a long time. After spending a lot of time finding the way, they finally saw the store that Xianren was looking for.

After taking the elevator and arriving at the door of the appliance store, the two entered the store under the guidance of a girl dressed in Meiji period clothing. Futaba Rio looked at Kento and the clerk and whispered something, then led the two into a dark room.

Because the light was dim, Futaba Rio always felt that something was not right here. She looked towards Xianren standing beside her, only to find that he had already sat down.

"here?"

"Well, this is it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open, and two girls dressed in Meiji-era Japanese-style maid clothes entered the room. They knelt on the tatami, bowed to the two of them, and came to the sides of Kento and Futaba Rio.

The two Japanese-style maids who were kneeling on the tatami folded their long skirts, smoothed the skirts over their legs, and then told me that I could lie on their legs.

Rio Futaba's sharp gaze fell on Kento, and Kento lay directly on the legs of the maid. The maid who was in charge of Kento also noticed Rio Futaba's sharp gaze and felt a little subtle. She didn't know why someone would bring his girlfriend to such a place.

But he could only pretend not to notice Futaba Rio's gaze, gently smoothed Kento's short hair, shone the light on Kento's ears, fixed Kento's hair with hairpins, took out the tools and started cleaning his ears.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Futaba Rio, with mixed feelings, didn't know what to say. But when she noticed the maid who was in charge of her smiling beside her, Futaba Rio sighed and lay silently on her legs, letting her put her long hair up, exposing her ears, and started the same procedure as Kento just now.
