Xiaoyu noticed Kyosuke's retreat and moved closer to him. Kyosuke could now clearly see Xiaoyu's eyelashes...
Kyosuke had already given up resisting, and he moved his lips towards Xiaoyu.
"Eh? That person over there is...senior?!"
"!?"
Hearing the sudden voice coming from behind, Kyousuke and Xiaoyu jumped up almost at the same time. Then, the two of them quickly distanced themselves from each other as if they were pushed away.
"Ah, it's you, Senior. Why are you here? Are you shopping?"
"..."
Kyosuke looked at the pink-haired girl who was walking towards him with an excited look on her face. He was relieved that there were no two golden-haired girls around her. Kyosuke felt a mixed feeling of regret or relief that Mash had planned to block his kiss with Xiaoyu.
"Mashu-chan, why are you here?"
"The magazine that published Eriri's comics was released today, so I came here with Eriri and Mordred to take a look. They seemed to have seen something that they were very interested in and ran away, so I was looking for them. Have you seen them, senpai?"
“I didn’t see it.”
"Is that so..." Mashu was a little discouraged after hearing Kyosuke's answer, and then she finally noticed Xiaoyu who was looking at her unhappily.
"Hello."
Mashu asked Xiaoyu, but Xiaoyu didn't respond and didn't even nod.
Although the relationship between Tama and Mashu was not as close as that between Tama and Mordred, it was not as tense as that between Tama and Eriri. However, Mashu ruined the kiss between Tama and Kyousuke, which made Tama feel extremely upset with Mashu.
"??"
Mashu did not realize the harm she had caused to Tama. Because of the angle when she discovered Kyosuke just now, she only saw Kyosuke's back. Although she felt that the two of them were somewhat close, she did not know what Kyosuke and Tama were planning to do just now.
Kyosuke knew that Xiaoyu was in a bad mood, so in order to prevent the two from having a conflict in the street, he quickly pulled Mashu aside.
"Senior. What's wrong?"
Mashu thought Kyosuke wanted to talk to her alone.
"Um..."
Kyosuke hadn't actually thought of what to say when he pulled Mashu away, but now he did think of something that he needed Mashu's help with. He put his hands together and whispered to Mashu, "Um, Mashu. Can you lend me some money?"
"Hey?"
Mashu looked a little surprised. She didn't expect Kyousuke to ask her for this. Just when she wanted to say something...
"Fufu~Fufufufu~"
A very cute cry of Fou came from Mashu's pocket.
How could that dead dog get into my pants?
"Fufu~Fufufufu~"
Just when Kyosuke was wondering, Mashu took out her cell phone from her pocket.
"Well... because Fufu-chan's scream is very cute, so I..."
Mashu felt embarrassed by Kyosuke's strange look and explained to him hesitantly.
"No need to explain, I understand. Just answer the phone."
"Hey?"
"Mashu! Where are you?"
Eriri's anxious voice came out from the receiver, so loud that even Kyosuke next to her could hear it clearly.
"I now..."
Before Mashu could finish her words, Eriri rudely interrupted her.
"You disappeared as soon as I turned around. It's very troublesome to get lost in Akihabara."
Such a lively voice...should I say it's worthy of Eriri?
"Anyway, we're at the same game store as before, so come over here quickly, we need to go back."
After saying that, she hung up the phone without waiting for Mashu to reply.
"Sorry, senior. I have to go back now. As for this..." Mashu took out two Fukuzawa Yukichi notes from her wallet and stuffed them into Kyosuke's pockets. "Senior, please return them to me when you get your salary."
Mashu left in a hurry without waiting for Kyosuke's reply, leaving Kyosuke alone on the street with the 2 yen in his hand, staring blankly.
I originally thought that it would be difficult to borrow money, but I didn't expect that it would be so easy to get it.
"It always feels a little unreal, but... never mind."
After obtaining funding from Mashu, Kyosuke took Xiaoyu back to the original model shop.
"Well...it's better to have this feeling when packaging. Yes, that's it."
After Kyosuke told the store clerk that he wanted the fox-eared shrine maiden figurine, he let Xiaoyu negotiate with the store clerk herself. According to Xiaoyu herself, this was a gift from Kyosuke personally to her, so she must dress up well.
"Wow~ I think this blue one is also good... Can I specify the ribbon for the packaging? Migu! Can I actually include a character card? In that case..."
I can just take it home and unpack it...
Kyosuke looked at Xiaoyu who was very interested helplessly. It seemed like it would take a long time.
Kyosuke began to feel bored and started wandering around the store.
In this model shop, all kinds of models are crowdedly arranged on the shelves according to their categories, which looks really dazzling.
Moreover, this store not only sells action figures, but also has a window dedicated to selling anime-related products.
"Ok?"
Kyosuke's gaze rested on one of the objects - it was a silver-white ring, and it was unclear whether it was a gem or glass (Kyosuke felt that glass was more likely), and blue translucent crystals were sparkling on it.
Although it is not a very valuable item, for some reason Kyosuke feels that this ring suits Xiaoyu's image very well.
"This ring..."
“Is this something that the customer is interested in?”
The clerk nearby saw Kyosuke standing in front of the ring and quickly stepped forward to solicit business.
"Yes. How much?"
Although he didn't know if this could be considered love at first sight, Kyosuke had the urge to buy the ring and give it to Xiaoyu because he really wanted to see how Xiaoyu would look with the ring - preferably on her ring finger.
Kyosuke glanced at the label. Although the price was a bit high for a ring, it was still acceptable. Even if he bought the figure, the balance on his body was still affordable.
"That's it. Please help me pack it up."
Kyosuke pointed at the ring and said to the clerk that he had made up his mind to buy it and give it to Xiaoyu later.
"Ok."
The clerk happily took out the ring next to it.
"This is what I want."
Kyousuke thought the clerk had misjudged the ring he was pointing at.
The clerk smiled and said to Kyosuke, "Yes, sir. This ring is a set."
Kyosuke then noticed that there were four other rings next to it, black, red, yellow and green. According to the introduction, this set of rings should be the peripherals of a magical girl anime, that is, the props used by magical girls to transform.
Kyosuke originally thought that it was just one ring, but it was actually a set of five. Fortunately, the price tag also stated the price of a set, so Kyosuke didn't have to pay the bill.
But it's not easy to give it away directly...
Because the packaging of the rings was obviously a combination package, if I took out the blue one alone to give to Xiaoyu, I would probably end up kneeling on the washboard when I get home that night.
"Husband, you bought five rings. Who do you want to give the remaining four to?"
Kyosuke could already imagine Xiaoyu's expression at that time.
After returning, let Merlin help to repackage it, and ask him to use magic to slightly modify it. After a close look, Kyosuke found that there were still many small flaws on the ring. After all, the price was there, and he didn't expect it to be made very fine. If this is the case, it may not be sent out so quickly. After all, Merlin must hang in the [Camelot] room until the store manager returns.
So Kyosuke secretly put the packaged ring set into his own small bag without letting Xiaoyu know, preparing to give her a surprise later.
"Husband, I'll see you here first. Thank you very much today. I'm really happy."
At the ticket gate of the station, Xiaoyu said goodbye to Kyosuke holding a brown paper bag containing the figure.
"Well, see you tonight."
After watching Xiaoyu disappear from the ticket gate, Kyosuke returned to the ticket machine to buy a ticket to [Camelot], but...
"Not enough money...why?"
Kyosuke looked at the wallet which had only 115 yuan left in it.
"I remember there should be 160..."
However, no matter how many times Kyosuke searched desperately, there were only one 100-yuan, one 10-yuan, and one 5-yuan coin in his wallet.
Kyosuke then realized that when he was counting the budget at the figurine store, he had mistaken a five-yuan coin for a fifty-yuan note. What was even more tragic was that Kyosuke's cell phone was out of battery, and now he didn't even have a chance to ask for help.
"Just kidding..."
Clang clang clang!
An empty soda can rolled past Kyosuke's back, driven by the cold early spring wind.
then--
Kyosuke and Tama's date in Akihabara ended with them being forced to walk to Camelot for an entertainment show.
As a behind-the-scenes easter egg, Aguiwen scolded Kyosuke, who was late for work for a long time, with a stern face for almost half an hour.
PS: It's finally over, no matter the dating plot or the continuous overtime work. Mi-chan feels like she's almost reached heaven. _(:з」∠)_ The final battle is coming up, and I plan to put the conversation between Fumino and Kyousuke Yukino into Yukino's exclusive plot later, and try to speed up the progress and finish the second volume as much as possible.
Chapter 64 Cursed Wrist: Lord Shodai, can the medical treatment for work-related injuries be reimbursed?
Kyosuke pulled Miura down the stairs quickly, then ran in the corridor at the fastest speed.
"So...what's wrong with that pink-haired guy?"
Miura asked Kyousuke breathlessly.
