Mikiko Hojo looked at the confrontation between two girls with the same hairstyle in front of her funny, one would blush and be shy because of her praise, and the other raised her hands to salute the French military at a loss.

But at this moment, they all showed their most ferocious posture as if they had encountered natural enemies.

It's so nice, the girl's cute appearance.

Thinking so, she stepped forward and grabbed the two who were about to start the big battle one by one.

"Xiao Xuenai, let's go shopping together when we meet?" She said affectionately to the snow.

“…… Uh-huh, okay! ”

Under the snow immediately replied loudly like a soldier, but she immediately noticed that something was wrong with her, and whispered a reply, a little discouraged.

Kyosuke Hojo's mother is completely opposite to his mother. In the face of a harsh mother, she can still try to find some excuses to resist, but for this gentle type, she can't find a way to deal with it for a while.

It's inexperienced, and when I have enough experience, I won't be so nervous!

At a loss, the girl comforted herself like this.

So the group began to wander around the mall.

"Xiao Xuenai, do you want to push the stroller? Kaseko will smile at you, super cute! ”

Sakura took the stroller from the hands of the four leaves.,Warmly recommend it to the snow.。

Under the snow, he reflexively scratched his head, and the eyes of Kashiko, who was sitting in the stroller, were square, and today's Kashiko was wearing a black cat-eared knitted hat, with big black and bright eyes and a fleshy face, a cute mess.

It looks so soft, and the texture of the wool is so beautiful, what kind of cat ears are they? It's kind of like a ragdoll, no, an American curly, not right...... No, you'll have to check it yourself!

The girl tried to look away, but three attempts in a row were unsuccessful, and she could only stare at Kaseko like a fool, and the little hand hanging on her thigh was also ready to touch Kaseko's cat ears and hat.

What will it feel like? Cotton? Silk? Squishy? Warm?

"Try it? Kyosuke's sister is very well-behaved. ”

Looking at the girl in front of her, who showed a completely different posture, Sanye also said with a smile.

Under the snow, her left hand was uneasy to pull the white strap of the satchel, and her right hand carefully touched the pusher of the frosted feel of the stroller with her index finger, and she sighed a little melancholy:

"I don't have experience dealing with small children, I'm so immature......"

Even the little girl Miyasui Shiye can push the stroller around well, but she doesn't have the slightest confidence under the snow, if you want to say why......

"Koyukino!? What are you going to do over there? ”

Yes?

Hearing the shout, he grabbed the stroller with one hand, caressed Kashiko's little face with the other, and looked up blankly under the snow as she smiled and stared.

"Isn't it going to the area where shoes are sold? The map shows that this is it. ”

When she stood on the first floor in a daze, she didn't do anything, and the map of the entire mall was firmly in her mind.

"That's the direction to the children's play area." Sakura walked over briskly and looked at the snow with a surprised expression.

"Or are you tired and planning to take Gashiko over there to rest?"

"I'm not tired!"

Under the snow, he immediately retorted, a well-behaved child and a cute cat are combined, how can you be tired of staying with this kind of angel!

"I—I'm just ......"

"Just a road idiot?" Sakura asked tentatively, she herself thought this conclusion was ridiculous, how could a genius girl who could easily remember the names of all the students in the whole grade be a road idiot?

"Road idiot? Although I can probably understand what this word means literally, before I want to define someone else, first ......"

"Okay, okay, I know, hurry up, Aunt Mei Jizi and they are all gone." Sakura interrupted the quibble under the snow.

"I'm just not very good at distinguishing the road, in the final analysis, it's because the planning of the mall is unreasonable, so many forks in the road, it's easy for people to get lost, that's why there are so many lost children!"

Muttered quietly under the snow.

Sakura glanced at the girl next to her with slanted eyes when she heard this, so, have you already classified yourself and the lost child?

"The next time you find that we're not here after you're in a daze, just stand there and shout, and when I hear it, I'll immediately run to you, this is the secret that Kyosuke taught me to prevent getting lost, remember?"

"I have your contact details!"

Although this is refuted, it is obvious that the confidence under the snow is very insufficient.

"Hehe~ Xiao Xue Nai is not lost!" Gashiko raised his little face, clapped his hands happily and shouted.

"I want to call Sister Yukino!" Bent down under the snow and smile back with a gentle smile.

"Yukino and Kashiko together!" The little girl said innocently.

Hearing this, her face under the snow turned red, and she was not only lost, but even lost with Gashiko.

"What are you going to buy when you come to the mall?"

"A gift for Hojo-san." Indulged in the snow that interacts with Kashiko.,Subconsciously replied.。

"Oh~Soga~ I see~"

He woke up suddenly under the snow and looked at the person next to him with wide eyes.

"What's wrong?" Megumi Kato blinked and asked inexplicably.

"I suddenly asked a cliché while I was not concentrating, but I didn't expect Kato-senpai to have such skills."

"Huh...... Clichés? No, I'm just asking you very ordinary, but under the snow, you really like that hat. Megumi Kato, with the slightest sense of praise, still spoke in a brisk voice.

"I don't like it very much! I just think it's a good fit for Kashiko! ”

Megumi Kato looked at the flustered snow in surprise, from her eyes to her expression to her body movements, the other party fully explained her love for that hat.

“Soga…… I was going to say that the store had the same hat and an extra cat tail that moved. ”

He didn't even reply to the snow and immediately turned his head to look for the shop that Megumi Kato said.

"Not this layer."

"Oooh......"

"Are you going to buy it and give it to Kyosuke?"

"How is that possible! The cute cat hat doesn't match that person at all! Under the snow, he couldn't hide the idea of wanting to buy a hat, and immediately strongly objected.

While the two were talking, the large army in front had already walked out of the store and headed to the next one, and the two pushed Kashiko to follow at the end to continue chatting.

"But if you want to buy a gift for Kyosuke, you can't follow us all the time." Megumi Kato reminded that after all, they are visiting shops that are suitable for women.

"I know...... But even if I leave you, I don't know what to buy. "Under the snow, I naturally said that I was troubled.

"So you were standing in the hall on the first floor in a daze before?"

"That's not a daze, it's thinking!"

"Oh~~ So what's the result of thinking?"

"I was going to challenge Hojo's mastery of the field, but I found that I really didn't have a chance of winning. Sure enough, sometimes it takes a certain amount of strategy to win, and it is more feasible to attack the weak point in turn. Xue Xia said seriously.

"Uh...... I'll try to understand it. ”

This seems to be a little related to the selection of gifts, which makes Kato Megumi a little confused, but after seeing the competitive personality of the super fond of agitation under the snow, she can be considered to have some understanding of this girl, so after a short thought, she said tentatively:

"Challenging Kyosuke's proficient field, do you mean starting from his preferences?"

"That's right." Under the snow, he looked at Megumi Kato with some surprise.

"Attacking against weaknesses, just to see what Kyosuke needs but doesn't have?"

"That's right." There was a smug nod under the snow.

Receiving an affirmative reply again, Megumi Kato was amazed.

What a shy girl, because she didn't want others to know that she had put so much effort into helping Kyosuke choose a gift, and it was really embarrassing for her to use such difficult words.

"But from your point of view, it should be said that it is more appropriate to make up for the weaknesses of the other party~" Megumi Kato said briskly, she decided, it's a rare opportunity to be so good, let's buy a gift for Kyosuke herself.

"Senior Sister Kato, if you were so smart when you were being tutored, you might be able to take the first grade!"

Xue Xia said seriously, she didn't expect this stupid senior sister to be able to keep up with her own train of thought.

"Ah~~ Spare me, it's the weekend."

Megumi Kato, who was still happy just now, immediately collapsed, and Kashiko, who looked at her lovelessness, giggled.

"Gashiko will be full of fear for the future student life." Someone immediately used Gashiko as a shield.

"I mean really." Yukishita emphasized that she was not retaliating because she found out that she had inexplicably told Keiquan Kato everything.

"I'm serious, too!" The girl's sense of resistance is very strong.

"Well, it's not me right now that your teacher is anyway."

Oh ~ yes, it's okay ~~

So, after returning Kaseko to her mother, the two girls who had temporarily formed an alliance broke away.

"I want to go to this shop."

Megumi Kato pointed to a shop that sold baseball equipment, and followed him without thinking about it.

"Huh? Is Yukishita-san going to buy the same gift as me for Kyosuke? ”

"Of course not! That's a waste of resources. ”

"That?" Megumi Kato looked at the snow that was following him steadily, and the meaning was self-evident.

"Although I am not yet proud, I have deviated from the value benchmark of the average female high school student, and not only do I know nothing about what the average girl likes, but I also don't understand the preferences of boys."

"I'll see that."

Megumi Kato looked at the proud girl in front of her with some astonishment, although she didn't know what to be proud of in these words. The girl who can talk about choosing a gift as if she was reminiscing before the war is not a serious high school girl.

"So, that...... It would be great if Kato-sensa could help me, or something......"

She lowered her head under the snow as if she was very embarrassed, and she didn't stare at each other's eyes with oppressive eyes as usual when she spoke, but kept staring at her toes.

"Soga, got it, then let's go shopping together, I'll provide a reference." Megumi Kato agreed without pause, and her tone was as relaxed as ever.

"Huh? Does it really matter? You're also going to buy a gift for Hojo, right? ”

Yukishita is a little incoherent, although Kato Megumi is not as close to Kyosuke Hojo as Sakura and Glass, but the other party is now also planning to give Hojo Kyosuke a gift.

Asking a girl who is choosing a gift for a boy to help her choose a gift for the same boy is quite difficult even under the snow. If she hadn't been inexplicably and unconsciously put out all the words before, she wouldn't have said such embarrassing words.

"It's okay at all, you don't have to feel embarrassed under the snow, after all, you're also working hard to help me, and I feel very happy to help you~"

Megumi Kato's face was calm and happy, and her tone was light and relaxed.

"Kato ......"

I was a little moved under the snow, and the mustard in my heart seemed to be eliminated in an instant. She was also vaguely aware of why she had said all the thoughts of buying gifts so easily. It's not a cliché, or it's not a deliberate cliché. This girl named Megumi Kato has the ability to make people open up in front of her.

I obviously felt very embarrassed before, but listening to her brisk words and calm and tranquil smile, I accepted her statement very easily. It's obviously a very polite word, but it seems very sincere in her mouth.

"Thank you, Kato-senpai." She said with a smile.

"It's okay, I'm going to buy it anyway."

Megumi Kato is still calm, and she is becoming more and more relaxed under the snow.

"Baseball? It was a good choice, and Hojo had never touched baseball before high school, and even though the school had free equipment, there was still a lot to be missing. That's amazing, Kato-senpai. ”

"I thought of it from your weak point attack under the snow~"

"If you think about it, there are a lot of things you can buy besides baseball."

"Yes, high school is very different from junior high school......

"Under the snow, it's a place to sell hardware products, are you lost again?"

"Not this time! I think Hojo would like the universal kit, right? Or a smart punching machine. ”

"Hmm...... I'm not sure ...... yes."

"The last time I went to Ruyiliao, I found that he had a tool room with a lot of tools."

"Oh oh ~ have you turned to challenge the field that Kyosuke is proficient in?"

"Forget it, I don't know what tools he has, and it will be a waste if it is repeated."

"Under the snow?! You don't want to buy underwear for Kyosuke, do you? ”

“…… How can it be! This time it's the wrong way! This kind of special area, why not put up a sign here, I don't know if it will be embarrassing to enter by mistake! ”

"Tell me where you want to go."

"Did Kato-senpai also write down the map?"

"Write down the map? How can there be a stupid person who does that, the distribution of shops in the mall is regular, for example, next to the tool store will definitely not be an underwear store. ”

"It's complicated......"

"People who think it's complicated are really complicated!"

……

So the two who were arguing and quarreling finally bought a satisfactory gift.

"Ah~ I'm so happy, let's go shopping together next week, right?"

Sakura Yamauchi smiled and extended an invitation to everyone, and among the people who happily agreed, the tired and frightened face stood out under the snow. However, looking at Megumi Kato, who also smiled and agreed, she gritted her teeth and agreed, and made up her mind to memorize the locations of all the stores in this mall when she went back.

When I got home, I ignored my sister's loneliness and boring troublemaking, and fell into bed weakly under the snow, looked at the paper bag on the table, and slowly closed my eyes.

So the memories end here, and time returns to the present.

[The Ministry of Service after sending off the women's duo]

Looking at Kyosuke Hojo, who looked puzzled, and Sakura Yamauchi, who was inexplicably excited, he felt that his face was hot under the snow, and raised his right hand to pick up the hair around his ears.

"Nothing!" Her words are also quite handsome.

？？

Nothing, what are you leaving me for?

Kyosuke Hojo was full of question marks.

He took a deep breath under the snow and picked up the bag hanging on the side of the table.

"I have prepared a gift for you, to thank you for giving me a gift."

If he was dry, he knotted his words like an old robot, and his fair face was flushed red as if he were overloaded.

Thank you for the big guy's monthly pass, tipping and recommendation ticket support, thank you
