Oh, This Is Bad! / Yuki's Utter Bewilderment
The Little Senior Sister casually remarked, "This place is very close to Akihabara. Would you like to go take a look over there, junior brother?"
She knew Shuya a 2D Otaku.
Kirino perked up, but shrank back when she saw Ayase.
Mai noticed her reaction but remained silent.
Shuya glanced at her and said, "No, Ayase- chan doesn't seem to like those things, so let's not go."
Before the Little Senior Sister could say anything, Ayase spoke up, "Um, senior... actually, it's not that I hate those things, it's my parents who really don't like them."
"Yeah?"
Shuya a wondrous path.
Ayase nodded. "Our agency's main business is voice acting, so I know a bit about the industry and that it's not as bad as my parents used to tell me."
"Ayase, Ayase!"
Kirino's face lit up with joy.
But Ayase then frowned and said:
"Oh, I only mean the normal parts! I still really hate those weird things, like adult elements... I especially dislike those general-oriented anime that involve child pornography!"
"Ugh!"
Kirino was shot in the chest because the Meruru she liked was just like that.
Section 592, 552: This is incredible!
Shuya hearing Ayase's words, Shu feigned panic and said, "Oh no, I'll have to hide everything in the room!"
Ayase was stunned. "No way, what's the point of saying all this now, senpai... Although I don't go into your room very often, I often clean your house, so I've already seen everything in the hallway, okay?"
"Oh, really?"
Ayase got a little annoyed at this point. "Of course! Since we're on the topic, could you please not leave those things lying around on the bed or floor? It makes me uncomfortable!"
Mai glanced at Shuya with a mixture of helplessness and amusement upon hearing this.
Upon hearing this, the Little Senior Sister said, "Shuya- kun, I also think this isn't a good idea..."
Kirino sympathized, "Yes, senpai, it's really bad to leave things lying around."
Shuya felt that Kirino's meaning was completely different from others.
He reluctantly replied, "I'll try my best. Sometimes I'm just lazy, there's nothing I can do about it. But Ayase- chan, didn't you say you couldn't accept it? Why hasn't your attitude towards me changed?"
"Because Shuya- senpai is also a boy... it's normal for him to want to see those kinds of things."
Ayase said shyly, "Besides, since you're being so open and aboveboard, I can't really say anything..."
There are certainly more reasons why she wouldn't be angry than just these.
The main reason is that Shuya holds a very high place in her heart, so this little problem is not enough to make her angry.
Besides, she already knew that Shuya exactly a pure person. He had maintained impure relationships with Haruno, Tsuruko, and some female Monster.
She had no expectations beforehand, so she wouldn't be hurt when she learned the truth later.
Kirino's eyes reddened with envy.
Shuya tentatively asked, "Hey Ayase- chan, if Kirino were as good at playing eroge as I am, what would you do?"
"Huh? Kirino? That's completely impossible! Please don't say such baseless things to slander Kirino, it's really awful, even you can't forgive it!"
Ayase was enraged as expected.
"Oh, um, sorry, I was wrong."
Shuya indicated that he couldn't help, and gave Kirino, a look that told her to figure it out herself.
Little Senior Sister and Mai also looked at Kirino with sympathy.
Although Kirino brought this upon herself, everyone has secrets, Shuya still felt sorry for her.
However, Ayase too stubborn, and judging from her determined look, it will be difficult to persuade her.
Shuya pray that Kirino could keep it a secret forever.
Mai then changed the subject. "Um... so where are we going now?"
Let's just wander around Shinjuku.
With Ayase present, they wouldn't be going to Akihabara, Shuya made the above suggestion.
It was unanimously approved.
The five of them took a car to Shinjuku for shopping.
Shuya followed behind, not paying attention to what the surrounding shops sold, but idly observing his Little Senior Sister.
She looked adorable as Kirino and Ayase pulled her along, seemingly lost in thought.
The Little Senior Sister wasn't very interested in fashion; all she really wanted was to go home.
Mai didn't join in the fun either; she just walked next to Shuya.
Shuya walked, he suddenly felt someone hook his finger.
"... What does this mean?"
Shuya turned to look at Mai, whose index finger was hooked around his.
"What?"
Mai feigned confusion, offering no explanation whatsoever.
"..."
She has quite a sense of humor.
The fact that this was happening secretly behind the backs of the Little Senior Sister made it even more exciting.
Shuya smiled nonchalantly, offering no resistance, and gently beckoned back with his finger.
... Speaking of hooking fingers but not holding hands, could it be symbolizing their current relationship?
Furthermore, the fact that she did this behind the backs of her Little Senior Sister —wasn't that hinting at her attitude?
Shuya couldn't help but start reading comprehension.
Mai showed no sign of surprise and walked along normally, Shuya also remained calm.
The three people in front of them never expected that they would do these things in secret.
The two walked like this for about ten minutes, until Kirino turned around and called out:
"Senior Mai, come and take a look at this outfit, what do you think!"
"They've arrived."
Mai responded, glanced at Shuya with a half-smile, scratched the back of his hand with her finger, and then let go of him before walking towards the three Little Senior Sister.
"This is incredible!"
Shuya was amazed; he hadn't expected her to be so clever.
After a while, they got hungry.
After having dinner at a restaurant, the group wandered around for a while before it was time to go home.
Tomorrow is Monday, so I can't stay up too late tonight.
Ayase and Kirino left first, and then Shuya and Mai watched their Little Senior Sister get into the car.
Finally, he accompanied Mai home, and the two flew together to Fujisawa.
Because Mai said she was going to the supermarket to buy things, the two landed near Fujisawa Station.
After shopping at the supermarket, Shuya and Mai, who was carrying the groceries, strolled leisurely along Willow Street at the north entrance of the station.
Shuya didn't say anything; he knew it was unnecessary.
Mai has made her thoughts very clear.
Shuya knew that the problem lay with himself.
He hasn't made up his mind yet.
But he wasn't in a hurry; they weren't even twenty yet, so there was really no need to rush.
After all, there are plenty of people in their thirties who don't have a boyfriend/girlfriend these days. (Just kidding!)
Shuya strolled leisurely beside Mai, enjoying the night breeze and the faint fragrance it carried.
Mai also enjoyed the quiet and didn't make a sound to disturb it.
But as the two reached the intersection, Shuya suddenly heard a familiar voice. "Um! Please, please don't do this!"
Then several frivolous male voices rang out:
"Hehe, don't be so scared, we just want to invite you out for some fun~"
"This girl is dressed up so pretty, she's probably trying to hook up with guys, right?"
"Bah~"
"Yui- chan?"
Shuya subconsciously turned his head, and there was Yuigahama's voice.
But all he saw were three blond delinquents, and the girl who had made the sound was surrounded by them, being teased in a flirtatious tone.
... Why is Fujisawa in Yuigahama? Is she here for tourism?
"I'll go help out."
Shuya somewhat puzzled, but he couldn't stand by and help Yuigahama was in trouble.
He spoke to Mai nodded and said, "Let's go together."
She and Yuigahama are friends, so naturally she wanted to help.
Shuya walked over, with Mai following closely behind.
"Hey, you trash, get out of my friend's way."
Shuya said without any politeness.
He didn't say anything like "Didn't you see she didn't want to?" He was simply giving them orders.
"Ha?"
Who is it?
"What's it to you!"
The men moved aside and turned to look at Shuya.
The girl in the middle was also revealed.
Shuya said, "Yui- chan! We're here to help you... Wait, who are you?"
"Huh...?"
Mai was stunned.
Because the girl who was approached by these three young men was not Yuigahama.
Instead, she was a short-haired girl with brown hair.
She clutched her skirt tightly, bewildered, her eyes welling up with tears; she was on the verge of crying from fright.
