The destructive power of this sentence far exceeded Tachibana Yukino's expectations.

The fact that I realized that this festival trip was actually a "date" to some extent caused an armor-breaking blow to my heart at this moment.

As if he was infected by Ji Yuehua in front of him, the panic that was so shy that he almost melted his cheeks made Tachibana Yukino's pretty face turn red, and he couldn't speak for a while.

Seeing the reaction of the two of them, at this moment, no matter how sluggish the vendor owner was, he noticed that something was wrong.

This feeling of being full of the sour smell of love, saying that it is a same-sex friend, even a fool will not believe it. On the other hand, Tachibana Yukino's tone when she talks to Ji Yuehua is not like talking to someone of the same sex.

The vendor owner leaned forward slightly, and cautiously asked Ji Yuehua, "That...... If I'm wrong, I'll apologize to you...... Could it be that this young lady is ...... Male?"

“...... You can see it. ”

"I'm so sorry! Because you, miss, no, this little brother, your appearance is so beautiful, I thought ......"

"Alright, alright. I'm used to people who misidentify my gender, not 99 percent but 90 percent. Uncle, you don't have to care. ”

Because of the interjection of the vendor owner, the embarrassment that lingered in his chest diminished slightly.

Although he exposed his male identity as soon as he walked in, this is a big problem———— if Ji Yuehua heard correctly, the people next to him have already caused an uproar because of his answer to the vendor owner. However, in the current situation, it is not so much.

Seeing that Tachibana Yukino didn't seem to be able to react in a short period of time, Ji Yuehua gritted her teeth violently and picked up the butterfly mask that Tachibana Yukino had just put down from the shelf.

"Uncle, how much does this sell?"

"Hey, fifteen dollars."

"Deal!"

In order to avoid further attention, Ji Yuehua took out her wallet from her pocket and put fifteen yuan in the hands of the vendor owner. Then, as Yukino Tachibana had just done, he reached out and put the mask diagonally on her head, and then pushed her wheelchair and ran away without saying a word.

After all, this is during the festival.

In the crowded streets, running as if running away from something naturally attracted the attention of many people. It's just that Ji Yuehua had already calculated the escape route before she started to run away with her wheelchair, and she hid in a secluded alley in the blink of an eye.

After entering the alley, Ji Yuehua parked her wheelchair next to the wall, and she took a step back, leaning against the entrance and panting, a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Originally, with his physique, even if he ran wild on the street for two hours, he would not be exhausted. It's a pity that this time it was a flustered escape, and strictly speaking, it was no longer a physical problem.

The awkward silence lasted nearly two minutes.

For Tachibana Yukino, he didn't expect Ji Yuehua to throw this kind of ultra-straight ball with a speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour, and the original joke was all gone. As for the intimate behavior after that, she was even more caught off guard, and she has not recovered yet.

On the other hand.

Although Ji Yuehua is the person who directly caused the current situation, most of those are difficult to ride a tiger, and in the case of brain blood, the brain is hot.

In retrospect...... Throw a super straight ball according to your heart's feelings. However, the ambiguous behavior after that can be said to be unnecessary, and it has completely deviated from the scope of absorbing experience and preparing for a date with his sister-in-law in the future.

It's a pity that even if he regrets it now, it's too late.

Because he felt that his identity as a man was provoked, he subconsciously did something that did not match his personality...... If this is a trial in court, it will definitely be the type of losing the case in real time.

If the other party is one of his juniors, such as Miss Akagi or Miss Kaga, he can use the majesty of his predecessors to get by. However, the other party is his predecessor and friend, and this trick doesn't work.

Besides, he just had some ...... with the other party a while ago It's a little embarrassing to look back on, and more than once. This time it's even worse, one is not separated from two, two is not separated from three———— to paraphrase the saying in GAL, one after another triggered ambiguous incidents, that is, jumping into the river can't be washed.

Nevertheless.

After rebooting his brain, he felt the need to take responsibility for what had just happened———— which was his own obligation as a man.

Ji Yuehua clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and then took the lead in breaking the silence.

"That...... Sister Yukino, do you want a drink? Can I buy it for you?"

"No...... I'm not too thirsty. ”

"So, is there anything you'd like to eat?"

"When the two of us walked in, it took less than three minutes to walk around...... For a while, I didn't know what snacks were available at festivals in this town. ”

“......”

Although Ji Yuehua tried her best to talk to Tachibana Yukino in a wheelchair in a natural tone, the impact of the picture just now was too strong, and it didn't mean that if you want to forget, you can forget it immediately.

Because the topic ended, the awkward atmosphere spread between the two again.

Fortunately, this time, Ji Yuehua is not the only one who wants to break the current atmosphere.

"That...... Yuehuajun, why don't we continue to go out for a walk? It's your first time attending a festival, so how can you waste your time in such a corner?"

After nearly five minutes before and after, the brain finally cooled down a little. The flush on his face also faded a little.

Just as Ji Yuehua deliberately didn't mention what happened just now———— because he didn't regard this date as a date in that sense, Yu repeatedly emphasized to himself that Ji Yuehua already had someone he liked, trying to suppress the emotions in his heart, and at the same time, Tachibana Yukino also began to stir up the topic again.

Seeing that Tachibana Yukino had accosted her, Ji Yuehua nodded immediately.

“...... That's right, too. I've heard that there are snacks like takoyaki, yakiniku, candy apple, and shaved ice at festivals, but I haven't actually tried them yet. ”

"There's more to the festival than just these foods. In addition to food, there are many things to enjoy at the festival. Let's not waste time here. ”

"I remember it was about a third of the way down...... Shall we start from this location, or shall we go back to the entrance and walk around again?"

"Let's start here."

"I see."

After a brief exchange, the two quickly decided on a new policy.

In order to confirm that the commotion caused by the two of them just now had subsided, Ji Yuehua carefully leaned out from the entrance of the alley to observe the situation.

It's just that what Ji Yuehua didn't notice was......

“————”

When he had his back to Yukino Tachibana.

Tachibana Yukino quietly reached out and touched the butterfly mask on her head, and her white jade-like cheeks flushed red again, this time directly to the root of her ears.
