Let me see your shine!

Then the doorbell rang.

Shoko came to his house in casual clothes, and the kitten named Hayate that he picked up that day rubbed against her feet and acted coquettishly.

The kitten is temporarily kept in his home.

[But she didn't know me at all, and nothing happened during the two weeks of summer vacation.]

While Sakuta was thinking about something, Shouko said to him:

"I'm sorry, it was me who said I wanted to adopt it, but I didn't dare tell my parents."

"It's okay. I'll take care of it at my house for a while. Makinohara-san can also practice taking care of cats here."

"Ok."

While the two were talking, Feng was peeking: "Brother, do you think a younger sister is better? A pure and polite sister is better?"

"What do you mean by that question?"

"Maple is now facing the greatest crisis in history and must seize the time to hone her ways as a sister."

"It's enough for me to have Feng as my sister."

Feng rushed over anxiously and asked, "So, who is Shoko-san to me?"

But it was difficult for Sakuta to answer this question.

He asked Shoko if she had a sister, but she replied that she was an only child and had no relatives who looked like her.

"As expected, let's talk to Futaba first."

Sakuta said helplessly.

The audience was not surprised and said:

【It has to be Rio. 】

【It is like Sakuta's external brain. 】

[Is this episode really about Shoko's puberty syndrome? ]

the other side.

Rio was in the restroom of the mall, filming herself with her phone and fixing her hair.

Sakuta called at that moment.

She paused and answered the phone:

"What's wrong, Azusagawa?"

At this time, the camera pulled back and revealed her appearance.

Although she was wearing a uniform, her hairstyle was different from usual. She had a single ponytail and was not wearing glasses. She looked much more mature.

Then the OP rang out.

At this time, the audience also became excited when they saw her new look:

【Rio's styling is amazing! 】

[I've always thought she was a beautiful girl.]

【It looks much better now.】

【I have another single push. 】

【My wife is happy with the bonus. 】

After the OP ended, Sakuta had already arrived at the bookstore in the mall near the station to meet Rio.

"Futaba?"

He was also stunned when he saw Rio.

She explained: "It was too hot to have my hair down and I didn't have my glasses on because I wear contacts."

"Why are you wearing a school uniform?"

"I have to go to school later."

Sakuta said, "Kunimi is working part-time and not at school."

"If the Science Club, which only has me, doesn't show results soon, it will be disbanded soon... So, what's your priority, Azusagawa?"

He then got down to business: "Ah, actually I met Shoko Makinohara."

Rio said: "Azusagawa, your first love, is there really such a person?"

"And the most incredible thing is that she has become a freshman in middle school."

"...Azusagawa, are you okay? Could it be someone else with the same name I often hear about?"

Rio clenched the book in her hand and said, "It seems that there are three people in the world who look exactly the same."

"This is an often heard urban legend."

"Yeah, it's just a common urban legend."

She seemed to be talking about something else.

427

Chapter 427 Two Futaba Rios.

After Rio finished speaking, he continued: "But nothing bad has happened to you now, right? Then isn't this also good?"

After they finished talking, they left the mall together.

When he came outside, Sakuta saw a girl in a yukata passing by and said:

"It seems like there's going to be a fireworks display somewhere today."

"In Chigasaki City."

After Rio finished answering, Sakuta mentioned that they also went to the fireworks display last year.

He said, "You were wearing casual clothes at that time, right? It would be great if you came in a yukata."

Rio looked impatient: "Why should I do such troublesome things for Azusagawa?"

"I want to wear it for Kunimi to see."

"...either way, that's not for me."

"Are yukatas too big for big breasts?"

Rio paused, crossed her arms, and said, "I'm not saying this isn't suitable."

"Your current hairstyle will look really good with a yukata."

"That's enough. Azusagawa, you need to work, right? Goodbye."

Rio didn't want to pay attention to him, so she left after saying that.

The audience expressed their understanding of Sakuta:

[You're right, a ponytail goes well with a yukata.]

[Exposing the back of the neck is a must-have. ]

【This is the romance of men. 】

I understand.

After that, Sakuta went to work part-time.

While he and Kunimi were chatting in the lounge, Tomoe appeared in a yukata and came to propose the schedule for next week.

Sakuta joked with her for a few moments and then went back to work.

After working for a while, he found that Mai, who had not been seen for a week, appeared.

She came back from work a day early.

"I see. You came back just to see me. I'm so glad."

Although he said that, Sakuta's tone didn't sound happy.

Mai also noticed that something was wrong with him: "What do you mean?"

Sakuta got upset because she left him alone for a week.

Mai also knew that this was her own fault, so she apologized to him and said:

"I understand. I will give you appropriate compensation."

He perked up: "Is it okay to do something a little bit astringent?"

"A little bit is still okay."

"Then I forgive you."

Mai stepped on his foot: "Don't be so arrogant."

After a while, Sakuta finished his part-time job and the two went home together.

Mai asked about Shouko.

But compared to this topic, Sakuta wanted to be intimate with her more.

As they walked and talked, Mai suddenly saw a figure and said:

"That's Futaba-san, right?"

Sakuta looked over and saw Rio.

It wasn't Rio with a ponytail, but Rio with her usual hairstyle.

She walked into an Internet cafe carrying the bag.

He asked curiously, "What is she doing in a place like this?"

Takahashi perked up: "Something's going on? Could it be that Rio is in trouble this time?"

He read on intently.

Of course, Sakuta and Mai followed.

This internet cafe was in the form of a room with all doors closed, so it was difficult for them to find Rio.

So Sakuta borrowed Mai's cell phone and called her.

She answered and said, "Hello?"

"Futaba, it's me."

"Why did Azusagawa call me on his cell phone?"

"I borrowed it from Mai-san."

"If you want to show off your affection, go somewhere else... What's causing trouble?"

"Am I just a nuisance in Futaba's mind?"

While he was speaking, Mai pointed behind him and said:

"Sakuta, that."

He looked back and saw Rio walking by with her head lowered.

She didn't use her phone, but Sakuta heard Rio's voice:

"Azusagawa, what's wrong?"

Sakuta was shocked.

Matsuo, who had been watching casually, was also shocked. He went on 5CH and said:

What's going on? Ninja? Clone Technique?

Someone quickly replied:

[Yeah, there are actually two Rios? ]

[No wonder she said earlier that there are three people in the world who look alike.]
