"By the way, this dress is your birthday present for Yui?"

"Yes, I didn't expect it to be picked so quickly."

"That's right."

Shota nodded calmly and didn't say anything more, in fact, he had already regretted it in his heart and was about to drip blood. The purpose of Xue Nai's coming to the Six Heavens is to pick a gift for Yui, and since the gift is finished, can't you go back? Shota hasn't held Yukino's hand yet!

I'm stupid!

At this moment, in addition to secretly scolding himself in his heart for being stupid, if he can't say no matter what Xue Nai picks, then can't he stay here all day? If you don't finish picking today, maybe you can continue tomorrow? As a result, Shota, who lost his IQ just by holding hands for a while, didn't expect this at all.

Shota has completely ignored that he wanted to change the mall at the beginning, and even put the matter of going to the club tomorrow in the back of his mind, could it be that it is the estrus period of the orangutan?

"So ......"

Holding the dress she had just bought, Yukino said slowly.

Going back? How can I continue shopping? Even if you can't hold hands......

"Shota, where's your gift?"

"Huh? What the? ”

"What gift are you going to give to Yui, are you ready?"

Shota did not hesitate, and immediately said firmly and loudly: "No, I don't know what to send at all!" ”

"That's right, but since Shota you're so like a different ...... at first"

"It's too much trouble, so let's just leave it here." Shota, who soon realized that he had been overexcited just now, pretended to be careless again.

"Okay then."

Yukino nodded faintly, holding a shopping bag with a dress in his left hand, and walked towards the outside of the store by himself. Shota, who followed quickly, first took the shopping bag in Yukino's hand and held it with his left hand, pretending to inadvertently touch Yukino's fingers with his right thumb.

Yukino didn't respond.

The two of them have already arrived at the door, and when the automatic door opens, the noisy and noisy fish appear in front of Shota and Yukino again.

Yukino, who had been walking in front, looked straight ahead in silence.

Until, Shota, who finally mustered up his courage, held his breath and gently but resolutely clenched Yukino's left hand.

Plop, plop.

It was the sound of a heart beating violently in Shota's chest.

Shota couldn't help but look at Yukino, and although Yukino didn't show any unusual look on his face, Shota still smiled contentedly. Because he saw it, Yukino slowly raised his right hand and touched his earlobe.

People don't lie when they act subconsciously, and Shota has always thought so.

No matter how dull a person is, he should have reacted by now, not to mention that Shota has always thought that he is not dull. Although I don't understand why Yukino is like this, it doesn't prevent Shota's happiness that is about to overflow.

The two holding hands were the same as before, leaning on each other tightly, walking aimlessly with the flow of people, and turning into the store that Yukino knew. Aside from some simple but necessary exchanges, there were no other words between the two, but there was no awkwardness.

If this is a salted fish, Shota said that there is no problem even if he makes a salted fish for a lifetime.

……

……

After visiting the seventh store, the clock was already pointing to two o'clock in the afternoon. Yukino and Shota came to Rokutenba at about ten o'clock in the morning, which means that it took four hours to visit seven stores.

If you participate in the holy war with this efficiency, it is impossible to buy a few copies of your favorite books, but now Shota still wants to go shopping more slowly, if it weren't for Yukino saying that he was hungry, Shota wouldn't be ready to stop at all.

As for Yui's gift? Naturally, it hasn't been picked yet, and the shopping bag in Xiangtai's hand has not increased.

"Yukino, is there anything you want to eat? Now, you don't have to wait too long even if you have to wait in line. ”

"There's nothing special you want to eat."

"Poof......

Yukino looked at Shota strangely, not understanding why Shota suddenly laughed.

"It's nothing, but suddenly I remembered the day I picked you up at the airport and took you to the apartment, I asked you what you wanted to eat, and it turned out that you said you wanted to eat cat food, hahaha~"

"You were ...... What are you talking nonsense? Yukino, who forcibly suppressed his surprise and shyness, denied it.

"Well, well, I'm talking nonsense."

In fact, Shota wasn't sure, because he didn't hear what Yukino was saying at the time, but later found out that Yukino was actually the same as himself...... No, after liking cats more than himself, Shota vaguely felt that what Yukino was talking about at that time was likely to be 'cat food'.

"Then let's go to the food court on the fifth floor...... Uh, it's Mr. Pan. ”

"Huh?"

Yukino quickly followed Shota's line of sight, and the iconic ferocious face and shark teeth of 'Mr. Pan' in the distance were extremely conspicuous even through the crowd. It wasn't Mr. Pan's doll, but someone wearing Mr. Pan's puppet costume handing out flyers.

So, wearing such a vicious puppet costume to hand out flyers, will there really be children who will ask for it!?

"Will move...... Mr. Pan, who can move......"

How much does Xue Nai like Mr. Pan......

Looking at Yukino, who was constantly murmuring, Shota shook his head helplessly, gave up his original plan, and walked towards 'Mr. Pan'. When Shota and Yukino walked near 'Mr. Pan', the other party turned around and handed out leaflets to the people over there.

Although Shota doesn't like Mr. Pan, if he is handing out flyers, Shota will take a few more instead. It's a hot summer now, and although the air conditioning is on in the six-day venue, because of the flow of people, Shota wearing short sleeves will feel slightly stuffy, not to mention wearing an airtight doll costume, and it's not surprising that the people inside are dehydrated.

Standing behind 'Mr. Pan', Yukino cautiously stretched out her finger and touched the other party's black and white body. Through the thick puppet costume, the people inside would not have any reaction at all, so Yukino gradually became a little bolder, and began to touch 'Mr. Pan's body with his hand, looking at Shota was a little jealous.

Should I buy one too?

'Mr. Pan' still didn't realize Yukino's movements behind him, and he didn't turn around strangely until the person in front of him looked behind him with a strange expression.

"Uh, that, I'm sorry......" Looking at Mr. Pan's vicious expression and hideous shark teeth, Shota couldn't help but feel a little guilty, "Hmm...... My girlfriend likes Mr. Pan very much, I'm sorry to disturb you, can you give us a few copies of the flyer? ”

Neither Yukino nor Mr. Pan reacted to Shota's words.

Yukino was still cautiously touching the puppet costume, and it seemed that she hadn't heard Shota's claim that she was taking advantage of her, and Mr. Pan didn't react at all.

"Uh, excuse me?"

Mr. Pan seemed to have only now heard what Shota was asking, and handed out two leaflets to Shota in a hurry.

"Thanks, excuse me." After thanking the other party, Shota forcibly pulled Xue Na, who was still reluctant to leave.

Is this the so-called 'Pan Idiot'? Shota is really going to be jealous.

……

……

More than ten minutes later, Shota and Yukino were already walking towards the fifth floor, while Mr. Pan was still handing out flyers in the same place, until a girl dressed as a clerk ran in front of him.

"It's been a great job, it's been a hard job! Let's go get some water and something to eat."

Mr. Pan nodded, handed the flyer to the girl, and walked towards the staff's rest area. It wasn't until he reached the staff lounge area, which was inaccessible to the guests, that 'Mr. Pan' limp crawled out of the doll costume. Unable to wipe the sweaty and wet brown shawl hair, the whole person sat down on the ground.

“…… How's it today, how is it...... So much sweat...... It's still streaming ......"

PS1: Achieved overnight! Two more achieved!

PS2: The reason why it's so late is because I couldn't help but write something about my own brain hole in the middle of writing, about the big teacher crossing into Luffy, and the white love between Nami and Robin, the title of the book is "One Piece's Youth Love Story Really Problematic".

PS3: In case some people didn't read the chapter I changed earlier, here is a mistake I corrected, Yui didn't dye her hair when she was a freshman in high school, and she still had black hair.
