Chapter 295
While others were going to school, the two took the elevator directly to the Underground Street, intending to take the subway from there to another place.
The reason he chose the subway was simply because he was afraid of running into other residents of the apartment building.
"Oh, I didn't know there was a shopping street and a subway down here!"
Ouka Mai interest.
"I haven't taken public transportation in a long time, and I kind of miss it."
"So you've ridden this before?"
"Ah, yes, I used to ride with Kazusa Satsuki, but lately I've been getting driven around by someone."
"Ah~ it's that super long, conspicuous white sedan, right?"
"Um."
Ouka Mai withdrew her gaze from the surroundings and looked at him. "Where are we going?"
"How about Shibuya or Shinjuku? It's a rare trip out, we should at least go somewhere a bit further away, right?"
He looked around at the shopping street, where many shops were still closed. "Otherwise, we could actually take a look around here."
"Then it's up to you!"
"I hope you won't have too high expectations, because I don't actually have many hobbies..."
"It's okay, just go to a place you're familiar with!"
After leaving the shopping area and boarding the subway, the two were somewhat taken aback.
"Wow, I didn't expect there to be so many people..."
Ouka Mai broke the awkward silence by saying...
It was fine when I first entered the station; perhaps due to its location, there were people, but not too many.
However, as the number of standing spaces increased, the space on the train became increasingly crowded.
"I'm sorry, it was my oversight. I haven't traveled during Takamine hours in a long time."
"I'll shield her by placing her near the door to prevent her from being jostled by the crowd, "Sakurakoji Talent said apologetically.
"Mmm~"
Ouka Mai shook her head, her gaze still gentle, "Such a rare experience is worth having even once, and you protected me so well..."
Suddenly, her gaze swept around, and her beautiful eyes flickered.
The next second, she tiptoed and lightly touched his lips with hers, then, under his incredulous gaze, shyly looked away and said, "Thank you."
"..."
Sakurakoji Talent is to clench her fist tightly as she Kabe-don the car door against it.
That woman! She took advantage of me again!
"Wait! I was wrong! I was really wrong! Please don't stay silent!"
After getting off the train in Shinjuku, Ouka Mai hurriedly followed Sakurakoji Talent, who was walking silently ahead, and called out anxiously.
"... Where did I go wrong?"
Sakurakoji Talent stopped in his tracks and gave her a cold glance.
"Ooh~"
Ouka Mai stiffened, pointing her finger as if she had made a mistake. "... My mistake was kissing you without your permission."
"Hmph, then what are you going to do?"
"... Let you kiss me back?"
"..."
"Wait! Don't go! Hehe~ Sorry!!!"
Ten minutes later.
Finally appeased by Ouka Mai Sakurakoji Talent warned, "If you do it again, I'll spank you until your butt is swollen!"
"I didn't Talent you to like this approach... but it's fine."
For some unknown reason, Ouka Mai, showing no remorse, lowered her head in embarrassment.
Pretending not to understand, he changed the subject, his gaze sweeping over the surrounding streets, searching for a place where the two of them could pass the time.
However, her next words startled him again.
"Speaking of which, when I met Kazusa Satsuki at school the day before yesterday, she told me some interesting things."
"Something interesting?"
He continued to look around as they walked side by side on the sidewalk.
"Yeah, didn't you tell me you were going to her house to play?"
Ouka Mai's expression was natural, revealing no emotion whatsoever. "Then the next day I went to ask her, and guess what she said?"
"... What?"
"She said that not only did you go home, but you also went out for dinner together, you stayed in her room for a long time, and you even let her stay overnight. You also said that you two spent half a day alone together in a room..."
"Varied?!"
He stared in shock, his eyes wide.
While it seems to make sense as a fact, something just doesn't sound right.
Koto Satsuki! To attack Ouka Mai, what nonsense are you spouting now, adding fuel to the fire?!
He could almost picture the triumphant, smug expression on Koto Satsuki's face as she laughed triumphantly in front of her.
"Certainly!"
Ouka Mai, then snapped her hands together. "I know these are all things Satsuki made up to annoy me. Talent course, you're not that kind of person, right?"
Yes, I'm a much worse person than you imagine...
"..."
"..."
Click!
After what sounded like something shattering, Ouka Mai's face contorted in horror, a trickle of blood seemed to flow from the corner of her mouth, and her sexy body trembled like a sieve. "Liar, you're lying, right?!"
"Wait! Listen to me! While the general outline is correct, the specific facts are definitely different from what she said!"
"Yes, mostly correct..."
Her eyes were glazed over, and she squatted there, sobbing.
"As expected! You like Satsuki, right!"
"No!!!"
"..."
"..."
... Liu Yiqi "Yier Dam? Seems like a private father...
"What?! So that's how it is!"
After hearing the explanation, Ouka Mai stood up again, full of energy.
In contrast, there's Sakurakoji Talent, whose date hasn't even started yet, and he's already feeling like he's about to die.
"I'm sorry! It's all my fault for believing Satsuki's words and doubting you!"
She wrapped her arms around his and pulled him tightly into her embrace.
What a wonderful feel... Sakurakoji Talent snapped back to reality.
"As an apology, you can ask me to do anything you want, okay?"
"Let's hurry up and leave, or we won't be able to shop for much longer."
He dragged her along, striding towards a Musical Instrument Store they had just seen, intending to try his hand at it there first.
A little while later.
"Talent, do you play musical instruments in your spare time?"
Walking through the shop where various musical instruments were casually displayed, Ouka Mai bent down to examine some small accessories and casually asked a question.
This Musical Instrument Store is quite large; not only is the first floor incredibly spacious, but there are also other spaces upstairs.
Even just the lower level is breathtaking; the walls are covered with hanging guitars Bass, and the floor is filled with Piano, Drum Kit, and more...
"Well, just playing around, are you one too?"
"I wouldn't say I'm very good at it, I'm just okay at playing the guitar."
With a smile, she picked up a wooden guitar next to her, strummed the strings a few times, and attracted the attention of other customers in the store.
"Let me dedicate a song to you."
The shop assistants on the side looked at the two of them helplessly, intimidated by their good looks and aura, and dared not go up to stop them. They could only anxiously pace around in place.
But the beautiful piano music that soon began, along with her heavenly singing voice, quickly made the shop assistant forget about the incident and become completely absorbed in it.
As the song ended, the store erupted in enthusiastic applause and cheerful comments.
"How about it?"
After bowing to those around him, Ouka Mai looked at him.
"It sounds great, I think it's really good."
That's how he answered.
It's pretty good, but that's all it is.
There's no way around it; if you were showcasing other talents, that would be one thing, but music... there are just too many musical geniuses around him.
Players who aren't professional-level are too embarrassed to reveal their names.
"Then I'll sing a song too, <Duvet>."
He took the folk guitar from her and sat down on another round stool in the shop.
"And you don't seem to understand."
"A Shame You Seemed An Honest Man"
"And All the Fears You Hold So Dear"
"Will Turn To Whisper In Your Ear"
"..."
Through deliberate effort, his already androgynous voice became even more feminine.
The ethereal, melancholic female voice, paired with the light and agile string sounds without flashy techniques, perfectly replicated this song that is suitable for guitar playing and singing.
A subtle emotion rose and resonated in everyone's hearts, accompanied by the sounds that filled the store.
"How about it?"
When the music ended, he asked the same question she had just asked.
"... That's amazing."
Ouka Mai stared at him intently, her eyes wide, as if she were seeing him for the first time.
"I only knew you were good at fashion and cooking, I didn't know you were so talented in music too?"
Compared to his skills, her performance was at best a talent show at a school gala.
"This is just the beginning; there's a lot you don't know."
