"Then the game hall we came in vain, let's go to this place next~"

Saika didn't seem to have given up on his suspicious piece of paper yet.

"Wait, this place still has nice stuff~"

Hachiman stopped Aika's pace and said a little mysteriously.

………

"Give~"

Yawata holds the doll cat he just got and hands it to Aika~

"Wow~ so cute, thank you, master~"

Aika took the doll and happily thanked Hachiman.

"No thanks...... No, why did I give him a doll cat, he's a boy~"

Hachiman suddenly thought.

"But ~ forget it......" Seeing Ayaka's happy face, Hachiman didn't plan to think so much.

"But ~ Caijia, can you not call me master~ It's so shameful"

Hachiman said to Ayaka with a blushing face.

"Hey! Why, I don't think it's anything."

Aika didn't understand why Hachiman asked to change his title~

"Isn't that a big question, didn't you just see the laughter of those two people as they passed by us?"

It turned out that just now Hachiman heard a girl next to her laugh and said to her friend, "What's that?" Master? It's funny! Then her friend replied, "Maybe someone else is playing role-play~"

It was this sentence that made Hachiman feel very ashamed~

"As a real man, I don't care about those worldly eyes~"

Caika said seriously.

"Uh...... But that title is still too conspicuous, you might as well call me by my name~"

Hachiman thought about it for a while, but he still couldn't accept being called "master" by a girl on the street~

"Okay, since you are so insistent master, then I will call you by your name directly in the future~ Please also call me by my name directly~"

Akaga looked at Hachiman's insistence and had no choice but to accept Hachiman's proposal.

"That'...... Hachiman~"

At this moment, Caika's fair and transparent skin was a little rosy, and a small voice came from her cherry-like mouth.

"Oh...... 彩~彩加"

It's not why, looking at Ayaka's appearance at this time, Hachiman's words became a little unsmooth, and there was a little nervousness in his tone.

"Hmm~"

Saika replied with a pure and immaculate smile.

"So where do we go next?"

Hachiman hurriedly asked, if he didn't change the subject quickly, Hachiman was afraid that he would fall into that pure smile.

"Hmm~ It should be this maid café you."

Caijia took out the somewhat suspicious notebook again, and said with a glance.

"Eh, why is it a maid café~"

Hachiman complained weakly.

"It seems to be because: as a real man, you also need a place to relax once in a while, and the maid café is the time to test your manly charm~"

Caijia seemed to be looking at something to read the sermon.

"What kind of weird logic is this, but...... It's almost lunch time, so let's have lunch there by the way~"

After complaining, Hachiman glanced at the slowly turning hour hand again and spoke.

"Hachiman, what is this maid café, is it different from a normal coffee shop?"

At this moment, Caijia's puzzled tone came.

"Hey~ Haven't you ever been to the maid café?" Hachiman asked.

"No, I've only been to some normal cafes."

Saika said honestly.

Actually, too, the maid café is usually basically a male customer, and it belongs to a kind of house culture, and it really won't have anything to do with this kind of thing.

"Then you can experience it this time, and it can be regarded as a different culture~" Hachiman said to Ayaka.

"Is it a type of culture?! I'm a little curious~" Caika said.

"I hope you won't be too surprised......"

――――

"Isn't this the shop where Sakura works?"

Looking at the familiar sign in front of him, Hachiman gradually had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Now, Caijia, are you sure it's this one? Why don't we change it? ”

"Why, this store looks pretty ~"

"Because...... Because I always feel like I can't let you meet Sakura now, or my life will be threatened~"

Of course, Hachiman only dared to say these words in his heart~

"Because I know a better store." Hachiman's brain lit up and he said.

"But this shop looks good enough~"

Caika looked at the layout of the store and said a little puzzled.

"But the one I know is better, so let's go......"

With that, Hachiman planned to take Aika away.

"Where are you going? Hachiman~"

Suddenly, a gloomy voice came from behind Hachiman.

"Oops~ I really didn't expect it to be so coincidental, Sakura is actually there! It's obviously a rare winter vacation~"

Hachiman turned his head with difficulty, cold sweat streaming down his face~

"Well~ After all, I'm usually taken care of by the store manager, so when there are a lot of people, I'll come back to help even if it's a holiday, but Hachiman, you seem to be in a hurry to leave just now!! Where do you want to go? ”

Hachiman saw that although Sakura still had a smile on her face, the smile was not warm at all, on the contrary, it was very "piercing", and there was no temperature in her tone.

"China-san, Hachiman just said he knew of a better café, so he wanted to take me there~"

At this time, Ayaka explained to Hachiman with a kind attitude.

"Oh~ is it? Hachiman"

"Hmm~ That's right."

"Haha~ I see" Sakura said with a smile, as if she understood Hachiman.

"Sakura, although you're laughing, why can't I feel a smile~" Hachiman retreated a little scared.

"Maybe I think Hachiman-san, haven't you explained to me why you and the person next to you came out alone, right?"

Sakura pointed at Saika and questioned Hachiman.

"Eh~ This is Ayaka Tozuka.,You should have seen it last time.,As for why I'm with him.,It's related to the last commission~"

Looking at Sakura's still "murderous" eyes, Hachiman quickly explained.

"Oh~ You said it earlier, so that's the case~"

In an instant, the "murderous aura" in Sakura's eyes disappeared, and she said with a smile.

"Then you have to give me a chance to say it earlier~" Hachiman complained in his heart.

"As soon as we met, they looked at me with that aggressive gaze, how can I explain it?!"

Hachiman thought with a wry smile.

"And Ayaka is a boy~"

I don't know why, Hachiman subconsciously explained Ayaka's gender, as if he was telling himself that he had to do it.

"Caiga? Even the name was called! ”

Hachiman's words seem to have touched Sakura's sensitive point again.

"No, I said that Caijia is a boy~"

Hachiman had to emphasize.

"But ~ Tozuka-san......"

It seems that Sakura also knows the charm of Ayaka, and is afraid that Hachiman will be attracted to Ayaka.

"Even so, Caijia wants to change herself, so that's why I'm here."

Hachiman tries not to let Sakura misunderstand his relationship with Saika as much as possible.

"Eh, is there any connection between this and solving Tozuka's problem~"

Sakura also asked the question that Hachiman had asked at the beginning.

"Well, because Ayaka said ......"

Next, Hachiman told Sakura what Ayaka had said to him again.
