I refuse to be a plagiarist

Sometimes what people hate may not be the care, but simply the desire for respect as an equal personality.

【What's more, it's that little girl Yukino........】

Not only did I sigh in my heart.

According to the young lady in front of him, her younger sister, Yukinoshita Yukino, who is now in junior high school, is at the best time for the development of her second year of high school.

At such an unruly age, you can tell with your butt that the little girl is definitely the type that will not listen to any pressure, let alone any oppressive preaching, or even the kind of direct and funny interaction with Yukinoshita Haruno.

elder sister?

Even if she is my biological sister, I can’t stand doing this every day!

However, in response to Hasegawa's reminder, Yukinoshita Haruno was only slightly stunned, and then she didn't think too much about it. Looking at her eyebrows that were involuntarily curved into crescents, it was obvious that she was immersed in the beauty of how to play with her cute little sister in the palm of her hand.

[No hope.....]

Looking at the smug girl in front of him, Hasegawa shook his head gently, and then left the empty campus with her.

"what?

Yang Nai, didn't your family come to pick you up today?"

At the school gate, Hasegawa did not see the black car of the Yukinoshita family, which was mysteriously similar to the one that a certain captain was in when he died. According to previous practice, the other party was mostly sent home by the driver.

There is nothing pretentious about it.

After all, considering the distance between the girl’s residence and the school, it would be inconvenient if she didn’t use a motor vehicle.

Instead of incurring extra expenses, it is a sign of frugality and there is nothing to say about it if you make flexible use of the conditions you already have.

"Oh, Mr. Driver has something going on at home, so he asked for leave today."

Faced with the questions from the young man next to her, Yukinoshita Haruno did not hesitate at all and directly explained the reason.

"In that case, how are you going to get home today?

Tram or Taxi?"

“Hmm…I haven’t thought about it yet.

Why, from what you said, Hasegawa, are you going to send me back?"

"What on earth are you thinking about......"

The expression on his face suddenly became strange.

Now he has neither a driver's license nor a car, so even if he wants to send the other person back, he is unable to do so.

What's more, he himself didn't have this idea.

"Ah~ You are such a heartless person. I was looking forward to it."

He muttered half-jokingly in a regretful tone.

Before Hasegawa could react, the girl changed her face like a Peking Opera performer. In the next second, she changed her tone to a teasing tone and suggested:

"But speaking of which, Hasegawa, there's a part of the way home that's convenient for us, right?

It’s been a long time since we went together after school.”

"Uh...yeah."

Nodded gently.

Since the start of the new school year, the two of them have indeed had much less contact on a daily basis, not to mention going home together after school, which is something that is inherently random.

Walking home with the girl.

In this area near the school, the two of them would occasionally run into some classmates from the same school who were lingering on the street, and then receive their teasing, jokes, or meaningful looks.

——You two secretly meet up after school, and you still dare to say that you two don't have an affair?!

【Oh shit... again? 】

Nearly a semester later, due to an accidental decision, Hasegawa once again experienced the long-lost feeling of being pointed at by his classmates.

How should I put it...it made him feel quite complicated.

But compared to the twisted look on Hasegawa's face, the girl next to him couldn't help but chuckle after seeing it.

The joys and sorrows of people are not connected.

Although the two of them have recently developed a faint sense of family warmth because of the control of the "distance" between each other, the basic concept of "bad friends" has not changed much after all.

Your pain is my greatest joy.

Since achieving economic liberation, Hasegawa, who has solved the last shortcoming, is like a fearless hexagonal warrior. There is nothing in the life around him that can move him anymore.

At least in Yukinoshita's eyes, this magical boy is now so "perfect" and indestructible.

Possessing both strength and thick skin, she ignored most of the slanders that were enough to make other people of her age struggle, and lived the free and easy life that she had always dreamed of deep in her heart.

Yes, you are right, it is a longing.

The "ordinariness" a person currently has may very well be what others have always yearned for.

If Hasegawa, who was forced to move around various job sites to make a living, seemed a little stretched, then in the eyes of Yukinoshita Haruno, he has now become an object worth approaching and pursuing...

Chapter 79: Who can resist a cute kitten?

Everyone's situation and conditions are different.

Therefore, for Haruno, the eldest daughter of the Yukinoshita family, someone's free and easy attitude is destined to be an unattainable dream.

At least that's what it looks like now.

But one thing comes back to another.

Although she has regarded the other party's living conditions as a goal to strive for, this does not prevent the girl from taking the opportunity to tease the other party when he is embarrassed.

After all, it's rare, isn't it?

"Okay....what's so funny about this.

Moreover.

I'm not the only one who's making fun of it. Logically, shouldn't you, as a girl, care more about it?"

He looked directly into the girl's quirky, smiling eyes without avoiding the target.

Facing Hasegawa Hide's gaze, Yukinoshita snorted and spread her hands indifferently, indicating that she didn't mind at all:

"But you...seem to be a little too reserved about this matter~"

"........"

Miss Yang Nai's flexible reaction made someone who was preparing to fight back freeze in place.

Looking at the girl's eyes that seemed to be shining with a little light, he held his breath for a long time, and finally closed his eyes, and simply walked forward first, while muttering softly:

"I'm really impressed by you......"

"Hee~hee

Hasegawa, why are you running so fast? Wait for me......"

————————————

I have to admit that although there are often some things that make me feel suffocated, it is indeed a very interesting thing to stroll around the streets with Yukinoshita Haruno after school.

Especially when passing by a pet store.

Maybe it was out of interest, but Hasegawa saw a snow-white, somewhat huddled cat through the window.

"what?

Hasegawa, are you interested in raising pets? "

Seeing him suddenly stop and watch, Yukinoshita Haruno beside him curiously leaned over and saw the "target" in the direction of his sight.

"ah!

He's a very cute kid....”

Looking at the cat in the window, Yukinoshita Haruno's eyes were obviously brightened. She didn't act like a spoiled young lady and pressed her whole body against the floor-to-ceiling window, scaring the cat inside so much that it squirmed to the opposite corner.

"Ah, you seem to have scared it......"

"Eh?

Hehe...it seems to be true."

Stick out your tongue playfully.

The two people standing outside the store and watching attracted the attention of the store owner, who opened the door and greeted them with a smile:

"Two little guests, do you want to know something about pets?"

“Well, I have a little idea like that.”

After taking an inquiring look at the girl next to him and seeing that she had no objection, Hasegawa went with the flow and walked into the store at the boss's invitation.

From time to time, the barking of cats and dogs could be heard from cages everywhere.

Perhaps because they have seen too many people, these pets did not show any shy reaction. Instead, they actively leaned over and looked at the guy in front of them curiously.

I could hear the boss' enthusiastic "sales" routine.

Obviously, in his eyes, the young boy and girl in front of him are definitely "potential stocks" that can make a fortune.

As the owner of a pet shop, his behavior and thoughts are normal.

Hasegawa, who knew all this well, dealt with the other party's seemingly cordial business words while asking about some precautions regarding pet raising. He also asked about the little white cat that seemed a little shy that he had seen outside before.

"Oh, you mean that...

The cat was actually left here by my friend. I heard that he couldn't keep it any longer for some reason, so we were looking for a good home for her."

"'She'....you mean, this is a little female cat?"

Keenly caught the pet shop owner's words.

In response to Hasegawa Hide's obviously interested inquiry, the pet shop owner scratched his head in embarrassment:

"Yes."

In this matter, he did not lie to the boy in front of him like he did in his previous sales pitch.

The little white cat huddled in the corner was indeed fostered here by his relatives.

At the beginning, because he saw that the children of his relatives liked it, he simply did a favor and gave the other party one as a gift.

However, due to the difference between theory and practice, and due to the troubles caused by the naughty child, the relationship between the person and the pet was obviously not good, and in the end the child was sent back.

Although very beautiful, compared to other cats, this little female cat has obviously suffered from PTSD from the previous abuse by the naughty child, and is very wary of the guests who come to patronize her.

For a product, this is obviously a minus point.

"It's really a pitiful cat..."

He nodded thoughtfully.

The story he heard from the pet shop owner made Hasegawa instantly understand the gap between ideal and reality, as well as the mental preparation he needed to make before raising a pet.

From the moment you decide to raise this thing, you should not only focus on the warmth and change it may bring to you, but also consider the troubles and troubles that may come with it.

“Okay, I’ll go back and think about it.

Thank you for today.”

"Haha...that's not the case. Welcome back, young man.

By the way, remember to bring your girlfriend with you when you go."

He gave a thumbs-up to the boy and girl in front of him with a joking look.

Perhaps it was because of the caution and steadiness Hasegawa had shown in treating pets before that the pet shop owner became more easy-going towards him.

As the owner of this pet shop, in addition to making a profit, he also hopes to find a good home for the pets in the store as much as possible.

He had a premonition.

The mouse in front of us is a mature, steady and promising young man who is capable of taking on the responsibilities of a pet owner.

Because he loves the person he loves, he is also kind to Yukinoshita who has been wandering around the store.
