They all have special skills

"And then you get angry because you're no longer the only one around me?"

When Yana saw Xingcai moving closer, she looked noticeably happier, and her eyes seemed to be flashing with little stars of girlish love!

"Ah, yes, yes."

Qingshuichuan was a little helpless after being asked so many questions by her.

After all, the two of them are now standing at the school gate after school. In the eyes of people who don’t know Yanami well, Anaijian... to be honest, she is that kind of standard young and invincible beauty.

When you are a shining star and there are people coming and going, it is really uncomfortable to be stared at with curious eyes.

As for the other person who kept asking questions...

She didn't care at all and was looking forward to the scene ahead!

She even hoped that her classmates could witness this scene right now, and then spread some gossip in class tomorrow that she loved to hear!

By then, she would show a shy attitude in front of the sisters who were questioning her, successfully deepening their misunderstanding...

Even if what you expect doesn't come true, at least you can just have fun with it!

Yana's inner thoughts were so humble that it was heartbreaking.

But she herself didn't think so and actually enjoyed it.

The two did not stay at the school gate, but walked to the side along the street.

"That's alright, don't worry. He's not even my friend, not even an acquaintance. I don't even remember his name.

He suddenly came over and said he'd been caring about me for a long time and wanted to be my friend. He even insisted on asking me out to the movies this weekend. What an annoying guy..."

At this point, Yanai saw Xingcai nudging the Shimizu River with her shoulder.

"...Speaking of which, I also want to thank you for helping me today. You indirectly helped me get rid of an annoying guy. It really is reassuring to have a good boy around at a time like this."

"Why didn't you say this earlier?"

"If you had said so earlier...what were you going to do?"

"I will go and tell that person to stop bothering you in the future. Otherwise, what if he comes back to bother you again with evil intentions?"

"Hmm~"

Yana saw Kyouna narrow her eyes and smiled even more happily.

"I received your kindness, but don't worry, I can handle this kind of small matter myself."

"Yes, even if others tempt you with delicious food, I hope you can keep a calm mind like you do now."

"What do you take others for?!"

----

I ate 50 grams of potato chips in one gulp.

Most of it went into Yanami Anna's stomach.

During this time, she also looked up and fed a few slices to Qingshuichuan.

Qing Shuichuan had no distractions when he was fed.

Although his emotions fluctuated slightly when he was talking to his grandfather about apricots.

But as expected, when it came to this kind of intimate interaction, he still didn't have any extra thoughts.

If it was Senpai or Eriri doing this right now, he felt that they would not be satisfied with just eating potato chips.

At least I should try out those little tricks from the romance comics.

For example, accidentally biting someone's fingertips... something like that.

"Come to think of it, you haven't told me why you came all the way to pick me up from school."

Yana saw Xingcai take the drink handed to her by Shimizukawa and took a big gulp.

Seeing her sighing with satisfaction after eating a bag of potato chips and taking a sip of drink, Qingshuichuan's lust for his childhood friend returned to zero again, his eyes were extremely clear.

"I already told you, of course I came here because I missed you."

"Ah~ I'm happy, but it's so fake and greasy. What's the real situation?"

"I finished fishing with Grandpa and thought I'd stop by to see you. Also, you've been taking care of Grandpa in the hospital all this time, so I wanted to thank you."

"I see. But don't worry about Grandpa. He's always so kind to me, so I should do this little thing for him. It's better for him to recover now."

"So, you don't need my special thanks?"

"No, no, no, you've already thought of this. If I reject you now, wouldn't it seem like I'm being unkind?"

If the other people in the Shimizu family said they wanted to thank Yanami Kyouna.

She will definitely behave like a lady and not ask for anything in return.

But the person who said this was Qing Shuichuan... She felt that it was okay for her to be a little greedy.

In a sense, the two of them have a solid relationship as they have been engaged, slept in the same bed, and even taken a shower together.

Since two people know each other well, it's okay not to be so reserved.

"So, how are you going to thank me specifically?"

In the slanting sunlight, Yana saw that Xingna's face was flushed, and she glanced at Shimizu River and then quickly turned her head back.

"It just so happens that we haven't seen each other for so long. Let's go have dinner together after such a long absence."

"Oh! Eat!"

Qingshuichuan pretended not to notice her secretly swallowing her saliva, and was secretly happy in his heart.

"As for the location, how about that seafood buffet you mentioned before?"

"Seafood... buffet! Great!... Oh no! We've already decided to have the buffet, so you shouldn't have given me potato chips just now! That's such a waste!"

"Okay, okay, I believe in your ability."

Qingshuichuan smiled and took out his cell phone.

When Yana saw Xingcai's expression, her high spirits suddenly dropped by half.

"Do you want to ask someone else to come along?"

The first thing she thought of was those two vixens, the fish-stealing cats!

But Qingshuichuan shook his head.

"No, it's just the two of us going. I'm just calling back to tell you that you and I won't be going home for dinner tonight."

By the way, let me ask what's going on between the senior and Eriri.

When he took a taxi to the school, he clearly sent messages to both of them on the way, but neither of them replied to him.

"okay!"

Seeing that Kyouka's mood had brightened up again, Yana stood obediently beside Shimizukawa and waited silently for him to finish his call.

"Hello……"

My mother answered the phone.

After Shimizukawa briefly told her about the situation on his side, he asked about Kasumigaoka and Eriri.

"Oh, those two... They're getting along well with grandma now. They're the three preparing dinner too. Do you want me to ask them to come over and answer the phone?"

"...No need, I'll go back early after I finish here."

"It's okay if you don't come back early. I'll take good care of the guests for you."

After hanging up the phone, Qingshuichuan stared at the phone in a daze.

Those two people are preparing dinner...

So the situation is exactly as I thought.

Grandma... after so many years... is she in the mood again?

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong at home?"

Yana saw Xingcai tugging at the corner of Qing Shuichuan's clothes.

Qingshuichuan put the phone in his pocket.

"Nothing, let's go to the restaurant."

"Hey, are we going straight over now?"

"What other ideas do you have?"

"Well, just...just a suggestion."

Yana saw Kyoko pinching her hair with her fingers and whispered,

"There's a new arcade nearby with all sorts of fun equipment. I think since you've finally come back, you'd better not miss it."

"The arcade..."

Although he had been to places like this in Tokyo more than once before, seeing her look of anticipation yet fear of rejection...

Qingshuichuan nodded.

"No problem, I'll listen to you, but you can't play for too long. You're already a third-year student, so you have to go home early to do your homework."

"You're so long-winded. You're only one year older than me, so why do you talk so old-fashioned?"

"Isn't this all for your own good..."

The two of them chatted with each other as they walked towards the arcade.

----

It is called an arcade, but not all of it is filled with video game equipment.

In order to attract female customers, there are many claw machines here.

This is Yanami Anna's goal!

After exchanging a large number of coins, he dragged Qingshuichuan straight to the target area!

Whether you can catch a doll in a claw machine depends entirely on the conscience of the boss behind it.

The unscrupulous people will simply adjust the strength of the hook to the minimum. No matter how superb your skills in catching dolls are, you will be powerless. You will not get anything even if you keep catching them for an entire afternoon.

However, this also has disadvantages. Smart customers will understand the situation after trying it a few times and will not come back again. They may even give bad reviews on various software to avoid trouble.

This amusement park is located near a school, probably because it knows that students are its main target customer group for profit, and it also knows that word of mouth spreads extremely quickly within this group.

Perhaps because they are concerned about their reputation, the success rate of the claw machines here is quite high.

Qingshuichuan observed the other customers around him, and after trying it a few times himself, he roughly figured it out.

After about five or six times, the next catch will have a high probability of success.

Of course, the premise is that the claws don't go crooked when they come down.

“…Here, for you.”

Shimizukawa successfully caught the third doll and handed it to Yanami Anna, whose eyes were shining.

"Oh! Chuan, you're amazing! Why didn't I realize you had this talent before?"

"I figured it out in Tokyo... No, I'm just kidding. I'm not really that good at catching dolls. Maybe I was extra lucky today because I was with Kyouna?"

"That's certainly possible."

Regardless of whether Yanaijian Xingcai believed it or not, she still found it quite helpful just to hear it.

And looking at the happy smile of childhood sweetheart.

Qingshuichuan also raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

What Ultraman protects is the innocence of children.

What he protects is the girlish heart of his childhood friend.

After knowing the principle of claw machines, I will no longer be interested in this kind of thing.

Of course, the main reason is...

"Great! This is the fourth time today! Chuan, please continue to pick me up from school tomorrow. I'll bring enough pocket money and come again!"
