Since Natsume Chikage was already dating Yukimura Suzune and the others, and no longer had financial or other pressures to worry about, the girls unanimously decided that whenever he wasn't busy, he had to take turns going on dates with them.
Natsume Chikage had no say in the discussion at all. He could only agree with a strange look on his face.
And so, after school, Natsume Chikage and Tsukishima Rin began their first official date as a couple.
On Shibuya's bustling streets.
The two strolled through the shops.
Tsukishima Rin gazed happily at Chikage beside her and held his hand.
"Chikage, where are we going next?"
Natsume Chikage patted the violin he was carrying for her.
"I want to go to a violin shop."
Tsukishima Rin blinked. "Why?"
Natsume Chikage smiled faintly. "Because I want to give you a better violin, then keep the one you've been using in my collection." Hearing that Chikage wanted to collect her violin thrilled Tsukishima Rin.
She knew perfectly well that he had collected things belonging to Aoi and the others. But that had actually made her a little jealous.
Out of all the girls, she was the one whose belongings he hadn't collected. It had always bothered her a little, though she had never said anything.
So hearing Chikage say this now made her truly happy!
"Okay!"
Before long.
Natsume Chikage and Tsukishima Rin arrived at the violin shop, and after browsing for a while,
he picked out an expensive, exceptionally high-quality violin for her.
"This is so expensive. Is it really okay to buy this for me?" Tsukishima Rin accepted the violin with delight.
"Yours was expensive to begin with. This one's only a little more expensive, so it's nothing." Natsume Chikage shook his head.
"But I've used mine for ages.
