Entering the third week of November, Rin Kiyono spent the remaining three days working on perfecting her plan for the Test-of-Courage Tournament.

Without her stirring up the waves, Toru Watanabe's life would have been smooth sailing.

November 22nd, Sunday, was not a day of cold, but no sun.

“Hugo：Lavieestunefleurdontl’amourestlemiel.”

"Hugo: Life is a delicate flower, love is nectar."

Toru Watanabe sits on a tatami mat.

With your back against the wall, your feet crossed, you bite an apple and listen to the French radio on your phone.

“Scudery：L’amourfaitlesplusgrandesdouceursetlesplussensiblesinfortunesdelavie.”

"Squediri: Love brings life to the greatest sweetness and the most bitter misfortunes."

He followed along and read the example sentences.

After swallowing the juicy apple, he said again:

"Scurdiri is right."

While I was entertaining myself while studying, the alarm clock went off.

It was half past nine in the morning.

Toru Watanabe turns off the radio, bites the apple in his mouth, and puts on a thin jacket in front of the mirror.

After confirming that it was okay, he locked the door and walked towards the station.

Today is the day to make an appointment to go shopping together.

As we approached Yotsuya Station, the sun suddenly poured down and the wind became stronger.

Toru Watanabe followed the direction of the wind and looked at the station.

There is no need to deliberately look for it, and a figure will naturally come into view.

He walked up.

"Good morning, Kiyono-san."

"Good morning." Rin Kiyono looked to the right.

Where the voice came from, I didn't see Toru Watanabe's figure.

"Watanabe-san, you're more naïve than I imagined." She sighed helplessly and looked to the left.

"There's no way, today's Kiyono-san is still so cute, and as a boy, I can't help but play pranks." Toru Watanabe said.

"I hope that the senior sister will come tomorrow, and you dare to say that."

"Why don't you dare?"

In order to prove himself, Toru Watanabe looked more closely at Rin Kiyono today.

The aqua blue wide thin sweater with a long white skirt with bare feet looks gentle and relaxed.

"R-san, you will definitely become a very beautiful and elegant wife in the future."

“...... Toru Watanabe, the way you praise people is really unpleasant. ”

"Really? Then you teach me how to praise people, take me as an example, come. "Toru Watanabe posed, 'Please praise me as much as you like.'"

Rin Kiyono glanced at Toru Watanabe up and down, didn't say a word, just raised the corners of his mouth with disdain.

Her expression was as if to say: Don't look at what you look like, is there anything to boast about?

"I see." Watanabe put his hand to his chin and pondered, "The reason why you can't be happy is because you have a problem with your aesthetics. ”

"Of all the things I hate about you, is the most annoying."

"No, no, no, we're talking about 'praise me'. Kiyono-san, not only do you have a problem with your aesthetics, but you also have a problem with your basic conversation skills. ”

"Is it fun to make a fool of yourself?"

The two bickering men stood in a corner of the station, constantly attracting the attention of passers-by.

After a while, Mai Tomorrow appeared at the entrance of the station.

She was also dressed beautifully today.

On the beige turtleneck, the already delicate face looks even more cute;

Beneath the black pleated skirt and pantyhose were slightly plump long legs—a stark contrast to the thin, delicate collarbones under her sweater, which Toru Watanabe had been puzzled about.

The three of them said hello briefly and got on the tram heading.

The tram on Sunday morning was not crowded, but there were no seats for them.

They stood near the car door, clutching the rings.

Next to the three was a schoolboy wearing a yellow watermelon hat.

Even though it was a Sunday, I don't know why a person appeared on the train with a big school bag on his back.

She grabbed the handrail, sneaked around to make sure no one was looking at her, pulled the bread crumbs from the bag in her hand, and quickly took them into her mouth.

While chewing quietly, he looked at the people around him with round eyes.

When she thought of the gap in her gaze and raised her little face hard, Toru Watanabe and Rin Kiyono were looking at her.

The schoolboy trembled with fright.

She quickly turned around, hiding behind the square schoolbag, her exposed ears red.

Rin Kiyono smiled shallowly at the corner of his mouth.

"It's cute." Toru Watanabe nodded.

"It's very cute." Rin Kiyono corrected.

"Huh?" Mai Tomorrow tilted her head slightly, not knowing what the two were suddenly talking about.

When they arrived in Ikebukuro, Mai Tomorrow led the two into a shopping mall.

The first floor is no different from an ordinary shopping mall, with coffee shops, bubble tea shops, bakeries, etc., and on the third floor, some strange shops have appeared.

Wigs, coswear, masks, wooden knives, mannequins, and more.

Seeing these shops, Rin Kiyono and Toru Watanabe's eyes lit up at the same time.

"I didn't expect this kind of place in Tokyo." Rin Kiyono looked at one of the shops with a slight surprise, and at the door of the store, there was a skeleton whose head was about to fall off.

"Don't underestimate Tokyo." Toru Watanabe's gaze wanders away from the cos clothing store.

Mai Tomorrow noticed his gaze, and her clear eyes looked at the dazzling cos in the store.

"Watanabe, do you like these?" Keeping the agreement between the two, she calls Toru Watanabe's last name.

"How is that possible? Just seeing this, a lot of scary inspiration popped up at once. ”

Rin Kiyono stared at Toru Watanabe for a while, and then turned to Mai Tomorrow and said:

"Senior Sister Tomorrow, which store to go to first, do you have any suggestions?"

“...... Shops where the purchase of items is relatively small and lightweight. ”

Rin Kiyono nodded approvingly and walked into the cos shop.

Kimono, dress, police uniform, nurse's uniform, doctor's coat, maid's uniform......

Hatsune, Sakura, Nameless, Saber, Little Red Riding Cycle, Tsunade, Kasugano Dome, Shiro, Hwashiro Ayame, Rem ......

、、、......

In such an instant, Toru Watanabe almost compromised with Kujou Miki's agreement - she will wear whatever he wears to show him.

Miki Kujo imagining platelets...... Or......

As Toru Watanabe struggles at the edge of the abyss, Rin Kiyono walks towards the battle uniform of the heroine, Hwashiro Ayame.

"This one looks like it could come in handy." She reached out and felt the fabric of the white cloth.

The boss looked at her with strange eyes.

Toru Watanabe hurriedly walked over and pulled her aqua blue sweater.

"Huh?" Rin Kiyono turned her head in confusion.

"It's ......" Toru Watanabe leaned into her ear and introduced the dress.

After hearing this, Rin Kiyono laughed disdainfully: "I will care about other people's opinions? ”

"But I care what others think of you, so forget it."

"......" Kiyono Rin let go of Haneshiro Ayame's battle uniform, "In that case, what are you waiting for?" Give me something positive. ”

"Positive?"

Rin Kiyono realized that there was a problem with his statement, and quickly explained, "I mean choosing costumes and props. ”

After that, she couldn't help but blushed and scolded in a low voice: "Stupid." ”

"Leave it to me." As for the latter sentence, Toru Watanabe didn't hear it.

What else can you do? You can't scold back, can you?

Toru Watanabe walked towards the horror costume, and Mai Tomorrow stood beside Rin Kiyono.

"Kiyono-san, do you like Watanabe?" Her tone was still flat.

"I was about to ask you the same question, Senior Sister Tomorrow."

Mai's pale but clear eyes of tomorrow looked at Rin Kiyono's beautiful and cold eyes like the aurora.

"What are you two doing? Going to leave it all to me? In the distance, Toru Watanabe complained dissatisfied.

Mai Tomorrow took a step and walked over.

Rin Kiyono stayed where she was, looking at Mai Asuka, who kept giving advice to Toru Watanabe, and stroked her lips with her hand in deep thought.

After buying costumes and wigs, they went to the mask shop again, and the three of them prepared to rest for a while.

"Would you like to go to the first floor for a bite to eat?" Toru Watanabe's entire arm is full of shopping bags.

"Okay." Mai Tomorrow nodded.

"In order to thank Senior Sister, I came to treat you." Rin Kiyono also has a shopping bag in his hand, but not as exaggerated as Toru Watanabe.

The three walked into a dessert shop.

The store is playing a song full of autumn colors, and there is a sense of mourning that "everything is withering, but it's also beautiful, isn't it?"

After sitting down on the corner sofa, Rin Kiyono, who was already tired, had a slightly soothed face.

Under the warm lighting of the store, her gorgeous black hair outlines an angelic face.

Tomorrow Mai looked at the menu expressionlessly, but under the table, the foot that took off her shoes had already gotten into Toru Watanabe's trousers.

Toru Watanabe looked back and forth between the two, and always felt that the songs playing in the store were setting off what kind of atmosphere and hinting at the ending of the protagonist.

"Watanabe, what do you want to eat?" Rin Kiyono said.

"Uh-huh——?" Toru Watanabe was taken aback.

'What are you doing?' he looked at her with such eyes.

"Hurry up, don't bother the waiter to wait." Rin Kiyono said in a gentle tone with a hint of command.

It's ...... though. But Toru Watanabe felt very bad, very bad.

He remembered a sentence he had written on the title page of his notebook: Be careful whenever and wherever you are.

"That's it." Toru Watanabe didn't do anything, pointing to the mousse cake garnished with blueberries.

"Well, then I'll order this too." Rin Kiyono said, "Tomorrow's senpai, what do you want?" ”

“...... This one. Mai Asuki's slender fingers dotted on the picture of the cheesecake.

"That's it." Rin Kiyono said to the waiter.

"Okay, please wait." The waiter looked at Toru Watanabe enviously, took the menu and left.

After the waiter left, Rin Kiyono said, "I'm in trouble tomorrow for today, Senpai, accompany me and Watanabe for a trip." ”

Mai Tomorrow shook her head.

Watanabe is so weak that he leaves Mai's feet tomorrow.

Could it be that it was discovered?

"Watanabe, you also say thank you to Tomorrow's senpai." Rin Kiyono said again in a gentle tone with a hint of command.

"Oh, thank you, Tomorrow Senpai." Toru Watanabe said.

"It's okay." Tomorrow Mai's legs strongly hooked Toru Watanabe's feet.

"Speaking of which," Rin Kiyono took a sip of the black tea on the table, "Watanabe used to call Tomorrow's Senpai Mai-senpai in front of me." ”

"It's just a slip of the tongue." Toru Watanabe said, "In the whole of Tokyo, I only call Mihime by name. ”

"And what if I let you call me by my name in the future?" Through the heat of black tea, Rin Kiyono looked at Toru Watanabe.

"It's up to Kiyono-san, are you willing?"

Rin Kiyono thought for a moment and said:

"I wouldn't agree to say yes or no, but if you insist, I don't think I would object to it, except at first."

Watanabe's heart was beating so hard that he couldn't even bother with his naughty legs under the table.

I don't know what Rin Kiyono is doing, but she never lies.

Wait, maybe Rin Kiyono is the kind of person who doesn't care about the name.

Think about the 、、, girls you have seen don't actually like you, they just want to be liked.

But Rin Kiyono is not such a superficial person.

What the hell are you doing?

"What's wrong? Watanabe, you don't want to? Rin Kiyono asked with a smile.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't agree? I don't like to force people. Toru Watanabe replied.

He always felt that Rin Kiyono had a flirtatious smile in his face.

How can she still have such a side? No, this guy likes to tease him in the first place.

At this time, the waiter brought dessert.

The three of them picked up their forks and ate them.

Rin Kiyono cut off a piece and gently took it into her mouth.

After tasting this small piece, she said leisurely:

"Come to think of it, the two of us seem to have been together since you joined the Human Observation Department, even on Saturdays, Sundays, and Sundays, and sometimes until midnight at night."

"It seems so." Toru Watanabe eats cake with one hand and grabs under the table with the other, trying to figure out the pantyhose leg of his crotch.

The tights feel good and are smoother than mousse cakes.

"I'm liked by a lot of people, but because I can expose the lie, the only person who is willing to stay with me for a long time is you Watanabe, can you tell me why?"

The song in the store has been changed.

"Tell me softly, there is no night that will not dawn."

"The days of worry and worry, the time of sorrow and frustration, because of your company, I can get through"

It's Seiko Matsuda, but the person who sings it is another singer.

"It's like you borrowed one of my sentences:." Toru Watanabe said, "I'm used to lying, and you never will, so I like to be around you and keep myself from getting lost." ”

“...... Is this a counterattack that makes me like you? ”

"Huh?" Toru Watanabe was stunned for a moment, and the action of putting the cake in his mouth stopped there, "What did you say?" ”

Rin Kiyono looked at the plate and replied in a voice that was not inaudible, "Nothing." ”

She suddenly felt a little hot on her face and gave up on her plan.

After eating the cake and buying a human skeleton model, the three of them ended their shopping trip today.

Back at Yotsuya Station, after separating from Mai Tomorrow, Toru Watanabe and Rin Kiyono have a short journey together.

"What the hell are you doing today?" Toru Watanabe asked.

"I deliberately acted close to you, Senior Sister Tomorrow didn't care at all, she wasn't interested in our conversation at all, it seems that although something happened to the two of you, it really doesn't matter."

“...... Just for this? ”

Rin Kiyono was dissatisfied with his reaction and said, "What do you mean by 'just for this'?" This is part of human observation. ”

"I mean, as you are a lie detector, wouldn't it be nice to ask her directly?"

Toru Watanabe didn't plan to hide from Rin Kiyono about Mai Tomorrow.

In fact, as long as Rin Kiyono really wants to know, he can't hide it. But he won't take the initiative to say it, and be more careful not to be caught red-handed by her.

"I don't
