"Buyer, is it necessary to involve me?" Natsume Rin sighed, feeling like she was the one taking the blame.
"How dare you say it has nothing to do with you." Yukinoshita Yukino looked extremely smart.
"……forget it."
Yukino turned her head and looked at Shiina Mahiru: "He really has led you astray, but I still don't plan to accompany you guys to make trouble."
"Why?" She was a little confused.
"If it's just the two of us, I'll definitely be happy. If it's just me and Natsume Rin, I can continue even if I'm reluctant. But if there are three of us together, I'll feel like an extra person."
"So you're worried about this kind of thing." Shiina Mahiru suddenly realized and had a deeper understanding of Koyuki's sensitive mind.
"Actually, there are more than just the two of us. Kasumigaoka-senpai is also coming."
"Didn't you say the Service Club party? When did senior join?" Yukino looked at Shiina Mahiru, her fox tail almost showing.
Natsume Rin, who was keeping an eye on the progress, looked at Shiina Mahiru with sympathy. She was still not experienced enough and was actually stopped by this little trick.
"Uh..." Shiina Mahiru looked back and forth between the two, "Actually, I can explain."
"Go ahead." Confident of victory, Yukino showed her magnanimity.
"Kasumigaoka-senpai is a family member, so it should be okay for her to attend the party."
Natsume Rin stopped talking, and Yukino's eyes became sharp, but they both agreed with the family member's statement.
"In that case, I will consider it carefully and give you an answer before the holiday."
"no problem."
The conversation ended here, and Natsume Rin breathed a sigh of relief. When she looked at Shiina again, she suddenly discovered that the girl's entire body was black after being cut open.
As for why it is so, you can't think that Yukino is a kind person, right?
"Have you finished buying things?" Shiina Mahiru raised her neck, revealing her fair skin.
"Of course... No, didn't we agree to wait until the holiday to go together? These few days I have been thinking about which ones are the most suitable to buy." Natsume Rin blurted out.
"You're so slow, you're still stuck on paper." Shiina Mahiru criticized, "After school?"
"No, wait until the holidays."
The place Natsume Rin chose was not in Shinjuku, so it would be too late to make it in the short time after school.
"There are still two days until the weekend. Today is May 27th?"
"There are still twenty-nine days left until summer vacation."
"What does this have to do with summer vacation? Your birthday is coming up, and you haven't noticed that?"
"…My birthday? It seems to be true." Natsume Rin patted his head and found that it seemed to be true.
When he was a child, he celebrated his birthday quite frequently and the scene seemed to be quite grand. But after he ran away and lived alone, he seldom paid attention to it. He only remembered it today when Shiina Mahiru said this.
"That's not right, how did you know?" Natsume Rin asked back.
He didn't let Shiina Mahiru accompany him on his birthday.
"I saw it at Hiratsuka-sensei's place, June 1st. You are very innocent."
"So what gift have you prepared for me?" Natsume Rin no longer cared about the details and looked forward to the rare gift.
"I just remembered it, so I'm not prepared yet." Shiina Mahiru was very honest.
"Gift? Just buy something casually." Yukino said nonchalantly.
"Just buy something." Natsume Rin repeated these words, and couldn't believe that such cold words came out of her warm lips. "I carefully selected the gift for the Minister's birthday!"
"You mean the book 'Unsolved Mysteries of the World'? Sorry, I've read it a long time ago, and that kind of thing doesn't suit my temperament anyway."
If it doesn’t match your needs, why are you still watching?
As expected of a complete omnivore when it comes to reading, Yukinoshita never misses out on any popular science book.
"Don't look at me, you've never given me a gift." Shiina Mahiru pouted.
"It's too late. I will make it up to you this year."
She became happy again, and looked very easy to please. She came close to Natsume Rin and looked through her phone to find out what he liked.
"How is the house?" She asked Natsume Rin to come over and look at the pictures. It was a new apartment in Tokyo.
Natsume Rin slumped down on the table, then sat up straight with a blank expression: "No need!"

Watching the game, Moshi Moshi
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle, sizzle, sizzle, sizzle. The child is making a noise. Tut tut tut tut tut tut. If you know it, you will know it. If you know it, you will know it. What's the matter? What's the matter? What's the matter? Tut tut tut tut tut tut. If you know it, you will know it. What's the matter? Tut tut tut tut tut. If you know it, you will know it. What's the matter?
Chapter 231: How many children do you want?
House, what a beautiful word it sounds like, but Natsume Rin felt that it was too much of an embarrassment to give a 19th birthday present to someone of that kind.
Besides, when she didn't have one, she would long to earn a property of her own. But after she really owned one, Natsume Rin had no desire to continue pursuing it.
He is alone, what does he need two houses for? To support a mistress?
uh~
It’s not that it’s impossible, but I feel like I’ll be beaten to death if I’m discovered.
Natsume Rin did not continue with this dangerous idea and spent the rest of the time studying the schedule in her hand.
Although it looks complicated, it is essentially just a set of tools for celebration. If the quantity is not too large, Natsume Rin can handle it herself.
"What do you want as a birthday present? At least give me some direction." Shiina Mahiru asked while packing her schoolbag.
"It's fine as long as it's given by Shiina-san."
"I hate this kind of answer. Will you complain if you're not satisfied?"
"I'm not that bored. As long as Shiina-san isn't making fun of me, it's fine."
In fact, even if it was a spoof, Natsume Rin didn't have much of an objection, but Shiina Mahiru shouldn't be that naughty.
"That makes me feel relieved. How about we go to the boutique at the door and take a look? Xiaoxue, do you want to come with us?"
Yukinoshita Yukino, who was one body length ahead of them, was called to stop. She nodded silently in response.
"I'm out of shampoo at home. How about buying a bottle of shampoo?"
Walking into the store, Shiina Mahiru immediately took a fancy to the bottles and cans displayed on the counter. Compared with the house, the gap between the shampoo and the bottles is indeed quite large.
"No more?" Natsume Rin tapped his head and recalled.
"I used it up last night."
"So don't take a shower in my house unless there are special circumstances." Natsume Rin complained.
Yukinoshita Yukino, who was carefully selecting gifts over there, listened to their flirting and her hands moved more tightly.
His eyes decisively passed over his favorite doll and he randomly found a razor as a birthday present for him.
“This is what I’m in need of.”
Natsume Rin liked it very much and tried to reach out to take it but was dodged.
"Birthday presents must be given on the birthday, so put them here first."
"What about my beard?" Natsume Rin rubbed the fuzz on his chin in distress.
"Get the scissors." Yukino said something horrifying casually.
"Tsk, you're angry again."
"No."
She also knew that such an excuse had little credibility, so she waved goodbye to the two of them when she left the boutique.
"Where's the shampoo?" Natsume Rin stared at the box in Shiina Mahiru's hand.
If this thing also has to wait until his birthday, he feels that his birthday will be more like a negative effect.
"Since you're so anxious, here you go."
Is he anxious?
It was obviously these two idiots who replaced the birthday present with urgently needed daily necessities, which made him not want to buy more, and then they stood him up again.
"Shiina-san, don't act like you don't have to."
"Are you not letting me take a shower? I definitely won't have to in the future."
"Are you really that obedient?"
"Natsume-kun~" Her voice suddenly became sickly sweet, and she pulled the corner of Natsume Rin's clothes: "When did I disobey you?"
"Okay, then can you follow my orders?"
hiss.
Shiina Mahiru gasped. She didn't expect Natsume Rin to play so big, and this was a public place.
But she was also a very scheming girl, so she gritted her teeth and wanted to see what tricks he could come up with.
"Of course."
"Please lower the prices. Bento boxes have become more expensive recently."
"..."
"It seems that it's not a wishing machine. It can't even complete such a small task." Natsume Rin sighed.
"...Go to hell."
"Sorry, that's not possible."
After jointly denouncing the price issue, the two returned home with their backpacks.
By the last day of May, the eve of Natsume Rin's birthday, they finally found enough time to go shopping.
Since there was so much time and prices were so high, Natsume Rin certainly did not plan to buy anything in Shinjuku. Even Tokyo could not stop him. Instead, he took a bus to nearby Kanagawa Prefecture.
