Chapter 254: Drifting in the Sun
"No problem." Hearing that it was such a simple thing, Natsume Rin patted her chest and agreed.
Amid the girl's coquettish words, since they were about to go out, they naturally couldn't make things too messy, so Natsume Rin didn't go too far and instead concentrated on packing her things.
When the sun was shining brightly, they went downstairs together.
"What are you doing out here so early in the morning?" Natsume Rin asked.
"Go shopping with friends."
"Friend?" Natsume Rin asked back.
"Don't I look like someone who has friends? And you should be very familiar with that person."
That being said, the answer is very certain.
After walking a short distance, at the downstairs of Yukino's apartment building, he saw his so-called friend standing alone next to some green plants.
A white shirt, a black skirt, a slim figure, a calm temperament, when she stands there one can't help but want to look over.
"Why is he here too?" Yukino crossed her arms and looked at Natsume Rin with displeasure.
"Xiaoxue, do you think he can run away?" Letting go of Natsume Rin's hand, Shiina Mahiru took the initiative to hold Yukino's hand.
"Actually, I can run away." Natsume Rin sighed.
If I wasn't obsessed with sex, I could definitely get away with it by staying at home and sleeping.
"It's not too late to run now." Yukino warned coldly.
"No, we're already here, and we need someone to help carry our groceries."
"Leave this to me. My phone has plenty of battery."
"It seems like he's trying to pass the time by looking at his phone the whole time." Yukinoshita commented.
"Yukinoshita-san, how can I accompany you to review things that girls like? I'm not that professional yet."
"Since you have three girlfriends, you naturally have to be aware of this."
"...That makes sense. Mahiru, please teach me later."
"No." Looking at their verbal battle, Shiina Mahiru shook her head decisively: "I don't really know what girls like."
"It doesn't matter, as long as I can understand your preferences. After all, I like Shiina-san the best."
"Have you forgotten about your senior?" Yukino laughed.
Natsume Rin remained calm and gentle: "I have more than one favorite..."
"Shut up, scumbag." Shiina Mahiru told him to stop embarrassing himself.
"I'm speaking from the heart. If I'm going to be called a scumbag for this, then I can't refute it."
"Didn't you admit a long time ago that you're a scumbag?" Yukino followed behind and poked him.
She has developed this bad habit since being assigned to that position.
"Huh? Why don't I remember this?"
"Shiina-san can testify to this."
"Yeah, she often shows off in front of me, saying that as long as you are thick-skinned enough, even Xiaoxue won't be a problem." Shiina Mahiru said mischievously.
"what……"
The lively Yukino became quiet. She hugged Shiina Mahiru's hand and argued with her in a low voice. Natsume Rin walked in front alone and wanted to eavesdrop but found that she couldn't hear much.
But Shiina Mahiru...
You are my favorite archangel forever!
By the time the argument reached the station, the voices had finally died down, not because there was no point in discussing it, but because the ringing of nearby bells was too loud and it was impossible to hear clearly what was being said so close.
Crowded on the platform waiting for the train, they remained silent for a short while until the bells fell silent as they approached the platform. Yukino looked at Shiina Mahiru and Natsume Rin.
"You two are so good that you could be one person."
"It is indeed the case."
"Looking proud?"
"After all, we are a couple, so there is absolutely no problem with this."
She lost her temper. The voice of the female station announcer came from the car, and Shiina Mahiru took her hand and walked onto the train.
Natsume Rin followed behind, protecting the two girls.
"By the way, where are we going today?" He still didn't know the destination.
"We went to Shimokitazawa last time, how about going to Akihabara this time?" Shiina Mahiru also seemed to have decided on a spur of the moment basis.
"You asked me out, but you didn't even decide on a location." Yukino rubbed her hair in distress.
“That’s what surprise means.”
"What's the point of surprising me?" After a pause, Yukino said, "Since you don't have a goal, how about leaving the rest of the choice to me?"
"No problem." "Go ahead." They said in unison.
The train kept announcing the stops along the way. They had already passed Akihabara that Shiina Mahiru mentioned, but Yukino still looked calm.
Because they trusted her, no one was in a hurry. They just waited until the surrounding scenery became more and more unfamiliar, and Shiina Mahiru looked at her gently.
"It's not to the point of abducting both of you."
"I'm not worth much if you kidnap me," Natsume Rin interrupted.
"You're being modest. There should be a lot of people interested in the true identity of a popular author. Besides, you're being sold as a whole person. In some ways, you're more valuable than Shiina-san."
"It's such an honor, actually."
The train arrived at the station, Yukino stood up and got off the train, while Natsume Rin was still busy explaining the reason for the honor to Shiina Mahiru.
"No need to say too much, it's just the boys' simple desire to win." She saw it very clearly.
"But the reason why you are more precious is largely because no one would look for you even if you were lost. If Shiina-san disappeared, Tokyo would not be at peace."
He was unhappy now, and it was Shiina Mahiru's turn to persuade him not to care, and patted his chest to assure him: "I will definitely ask my father to come find you, dear."
Ignoring this disgusting loving scene, Yukino walked out of the station, shielded her eyes from the sunlight above her head, and was very satisfied with today's weather.
"Let's go shopping."
"She looks familiar."
"After all, it was Yukinoshita-san who led the way."
"But she was away from Tokyo for a long time, and there were places she was familiar with that we didn't know about."
"Rin, Tokyo is a metropolis with a population of tens of millions. Even if you live here your whole life, there may be things you don't understand."
"Hey, hurry up you two!"
After walking out of the station, Yukino urged the two people who were dawdling behind her.
Natsume Rin shrugged, holding Shiina's hand and chasing after him.
The area she was brought to was the central Chuo Ward in Tokyo. How central is this place?
If you walk a few more steps, you can see the Emperor's residence not far away.
However, after looking at the prices in several nearby stores, Natsume Rin figured out why she didn't know much about this place.
This is definitely the ceiling of Tokyo’s prices (housing prices)!
Compared to here, Shinjuku, Bunkyo, and Minato all seem like places to live.
"The food in this restaurant is very good, so I thought of bringing you here to try it." Yukino pushed open an old curtain window and waved at them.
Chapter 255: He is indeed a pretty boy!
"How did you find a place like this?" Shiina Mahiru followed him in, and was very curious about how there could be a small restaurant in such a land-scarce area.
Especially Yukino, didn't she study abroad for a few years? How come she looks more familiar than her who has always stayed in Tokyo?
"They came with my family, so I definitely won't be able to find them if I'm the only one there." Yukino explained.
The restaurant is owned by an elderly couple. The old lady who is in charge of welcoming guests is dressed very neatly, while the old man who is busy in the kitchen has flour on his body.
Yukino placed her order expertly. In a restaurant like this, there was no ordinary menu.
"Ha, the price is not cheap." Seeing Yukino taking out the big bills from her wallet, Natsume Rin muttered to herself.
"Since I'm paying, you don't have to worry about the price." Yukino rolled her eyes at him.
Since she recommended it so highly and was so confident about the price, Natsume Rin could only look forward to the taste. There were not many people in the restaurant, but the food was served very slowly. When he was already hungry, the old woman finally brought the plate over.
"Please enjoy your meal, customer."
After being hungry for so long, even ordinary food would seem delicious. However, after tasting the fish that was served, the deliberately picky Natsume Rin really couldn't find any fault with it.
It’s not that the ingredients are carefully selected, but the cooking technique is so good that the taste is impeccable.
"How is it?" Yukino looked at him proudly.
"It's definitely worth the price, no wonder they can open a store here." Natsume Rin admitted defeat decisively.
Shiina Mahiru, who was eating quietly, saw their interaction and chuckled with her hands covering her mouth.
“You can come more often when you have time in the future,” she suggested.
"The daily portion is limited, so we have to come early on holidays to have a chance to taste it. On normal days, it's more appropriate to use Shiina-san's cooking instead."
Speaking of this, Natsume Rin looked at Shiina Mahiru, wanting to hear what the real chef had to say.
"What are you looking at me for?" Shiina Mahiru stroked her cheek.
"You are a chef, how can you comment on me?"
"... a genuine sophomore in high school. Cooking is just my hobby. Don't mistake me for a food critic." Shiina Mahiru glared at him, then laughed softly: "He is indeed better than me. After all, he has been cooking for his whole life."
