Because it's a holiday, the mall is very popular.

Looking down from the fifth floor, dense figures lined up in the field of vision, each moving irregularly, made me feel a little dizzy for a guy like me who doesn't come to such a lively place.

My gaze wandered with difficulty, and finally I caught the fleeting back at the edge of the second-story patio.

"Is that her?"

A surprised sound automatically came out of the mouth.

"I'll be back in a moment......"

When I said this, I realized that I had already walked up the escalator, what was this subconscious eagerness?

I couldn't help but be stunned.

“…… It must be the reason why the environment here is unsettling! ”

It's like explaining to yourself.

Soon to the second floor.

Standing at the corner of the escalator where people came and went, he was a little dazed, and suddenly the figure appeared in his eyes again.

A light red dress with a pleated skirt that is puffed up, revealing the fair-skinned petite knees below, smooth calves, and a ** white sneaker under your feet, with a clean surface and spotless finish.

"Yo!"

Even I don't know why I came here after seeing her, so I can only say hello without embarrassment.

The face was as smooth and white as porcelain, the small nose was slightly upturned like a handicraft, and the eyes were as clear as a heavenly lake, and finally they still habitually scattered cold eyes.

"Oh, what a coincidence, I didn't expect that even a sorry guy like you would come to this kind of lively downtown shopping district where you would only come to live a fulfilling life in reality......"

"Well, I'm surprised, too."

"Could it be that the mall has been lowered?"

"Well, that's probably it...... Huh?! ”

The suddenly raised tone suddenly made the disgruntled eyes of the surroundings look at him.

I hurriedly suppressed my throat and squeezed out the voice between my teeth:

"Your logic is really unacceptable no matter what!"

"You just have to accept it."

The tone of the commanding voice was really unsurprising......

I rolled my eyes angrily:

"And didn't you keep staring at me before?! Why is it now a tone of surprise for a chance encounter! ”

"How do you ...... I—I didn't stare at you! …… Hmph, how could Miss Ben do such a tasteless thing! Hurry up and put away your shameless delusions for me! ”

She furried like a stimulated cat, her expression stiff and dangerous, her eyes wide and round, her feet jumped up, and her warm little palm slapped my forehead.

There was a crunch on the ground.

"Woo......"

I was beaten backwards, and the hair on my forehead was scattered.

"You guy!"

Rubbing my head, I glared at the other party viciously, but I glared back without showing weakness, so I involuntarily avoided my gaze......

"Wait...... It's obviously you who is wrong! Why do I make such a weak move? ”

"It is only natural for a master to punish a slave! Dare to talk back! ”

A cold face with a cold look.

It's horrible.

"But you were staring at ...... before."

Suddenly, it occurred to me that Ayayu hadn't said before, who was staring at me, and my words passed abruptly.

It's true that just seeing her back makes me preconceived......

Scratching my head, I could only divert from the topic:

"What are you doing here?"

It was only then that I realized that she was heading in the same direction as the escalator going down.

Are you leaving?

Could it be the reason why you saw me before?

It's really sad......

So, if the person who stared at me before wasn't her, it means that she didn't leave because she hated me......

Isn't that a good thing?

I couldn't help but get caught up in the block diagram of the conditional structure that was entangled in guessing yes or no......

"Of course, it's to buy daily necessities and food for Ahri!"

“…… (?_?)！ ”

It turned out that I was so cared for, and my eyes couldn't stop being sour...... Ah, I'm running water!

No, it's going to get wet......

It's really impressive.

He was treated coldly, snorted and drunk, called at will, sat in the pet's seat when eating, and was forced to wear a shameful costume that was 'forbidden to eat'......

I thought I was just being treated as a slave.

I didn't expect ......

"Uh, it's disgusting!"

She suddenly had a look of disgust.

"What the hell are you thinking about in your own right?"

"Hey......

I couldn't help but turn up the corners of my mouth, my eyes curled and narrowed, and my face couldn't help but flush (??).

"It's getting more and more disgusting! Stay away from me, you narcissistic pervert! ”

Qiu Hitomi took a step back with a look of disgust,

"I'm talking about the cute and docile pet hedgehog - Ahri, don't you be amorous anymore, okay?"

"Eh, uh!"

The sudden elevation of the pitch once again attracted the attention of those around him.

The flush on my face continued the previous trend, but it accelerated and spread like I had stepped on the accelerator abruptly.

"This, this...... Of course I do! Hehehehehe......"

It's like scratching your head as if you're going to grab your scalp together.

Force yourself away from the patio fence so that you don't jump off on an impulse.

Although it's only the second floor, it's expensive to go to the hospital now......

"Is that so?"

Qiu Hitomi looked noncommittal.

The crystal clear fingers of the delicate nails touched the top of my head—and it wasn't until my gaze subconsciously followed that I realized that there was a small gray mass crawling on it.

"Why do you put a hedgehog on your head!?"

This is the culprit who caused me to rejoice and lose people!

My murderous gaze condensed on it.

"Don't you panic? Why don't you take it and stew it! ”

"Hmph, don't beat Ahri's bad idea!"

Akitomi glanced at me disdainfully.

"Uh......"

When I heard my name again, I only felt a lot of pain.

"Squeak, squeak—"

The little hedgehog, which had been curled up, poked out its flesh-colored pointed snout, and its black glass bead-like eyes squinted at me.

"Goo...... Sure enough, I still think that the hedgehog meat medicinal diet is very nourishing...... Nourish qi and stomach, nourish blood and calm the nerves, and beautify and nourish the skin, and you are twenty years younger after eating~ Squad leader, are you sure you don't want to try it? ”

“…… Not interested! ”

Her eyes looked at me strangely for a while, and her attitude became even worse.

"Uh...... Mistakes, mistakes, with the appearance of this young girl, as long as she is ten years younger, she will become a fertilized egg again...... accidentally poked someone's sore spot...... Sure enough, flattery or something is not suitable for me......"

"What are you muttering to yourself?"

A cold gaze swept over me as I scratched my head and muttered.

A spirit.

Reflexively, he looked left and right, and changed the topic stiffly:

"To Ah ...... What did the raccoon dog ( ̄_ ̄) buy? Do you want me to recommend it...... After all, I bought it at the pet market in the first place (God knows what I took the wrong medicine that day...... ）”
