At 17:09, Shuichi Kamiya and Minami Yamabuki walked out of karaoke together.

The two walked side by side on the streets of Shibuya.

As evening approaches, Shibuya becomes more lively, and it is even more crowded than during the day, and it can be described as a crowd as far as the eye can see.

After staying in the closed box for three hours, I came outside again, and I only felt like I was in a different world.

The crowd is surging, even if Shuichi Kamiya's appearance, figure, and temperament are outstanding, at most it is a little higher to turn heads, which makes people take a few more looks, and it does not cause any special situations.

On the streets of Shibuya, it's not surprising to encounter even TV stars because of the sheer number of people.

"Kamiya-kun, thank you."

Mixed in the crowd, Yamabuki Minami carried his bag, paced, and still spoke after being entangled.

"Huh?"

When Osamu Kamiya saw her suddenly thank her, he didn't understand the reason why she thanked her.

"Thank you for taking me to the live house and accompanying me to karaoke."

Seeing that he didn't understand, Minami Yamabuki explained.

Since coming to Tokyo, she hasn't made a real friend.

Because she was in school, she was both gregarious and unsociable.

The gregarious thing is that she is ordinary, approachable, and everyone can talk to her.

What is unsociable is that she doesn't want to expose her makeup and ugliness, and keeps a certain distance from everyone.

Maybe after she came to Tokyo, she went to see Tokyo Tower, and she also came to Shibuya to go shopping to buy cosmetics and clothes, but every time she was alone, she was always not happy.

Of course, she didn't really care if there was anyone to accompany her, because she had long been used to it.

Since junior high school, after everyone has entered puberty, she has been ostracized by girls, and she is embarrassed to get too close to boys, and as a result, she is isolated.

The fundamental reason why she wants to thank Kamiya-kun is that today's date reminded her of her childhood dreams and strengthened her thoughts.

"So I did well today?"

Shuichi Kamiya could actually see the reason why she was grateful to herself, but she didn't break it, but asked.

"Huh? Well. ”

Yamabuki Minami was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded.

Today's Kamiya-kun, except for deliberately teasing her and bullying her several times, can be described as impeccable.

"Since I've behaved well, is there a substantial thank you gift? Is there only verbal thanks? ”

Seeing that she successfully entered the pit, Shuichi Kamiya asked again.

"A substantial thank you?"

Yamabuki Minami looked up at him, and when he heard this request, his gaze subconsciously drifted to his lips.

This kind of atmosphere, this kind of timing, she has seen in movies...... It's the end of the day's date, and the heroine is very satisfied with the date, and usually gives the male protagonist a kiss as a thank you gift.

What's more, in European and American movies, the male and female protagonists go directly to roll the sheets.

Kamiya-kun doesn't want me to kiss him or something as a reward?

No, no, no, no, how can this work...... If you really kiss him, it's completely an expression of affection, and rounding up is equivalent to saying that I like you.

And it's a mystery whether Kamiya-kun likes me or not, maybe he's just because I'm a good guy and wants to make friends with me.

If he just wants to be friends with me, and I kiss him, it would be too self-inflicted...... Maybe it will offend him.

After all, in Aino High School, there are a lot of girls who want to hold hands with Kamiya-kun and hug and kiss.

"Didn't you?"

Finding her staring at her lips, Shuichi Kamiya asked, pretending to be disappointed.

"It's not...... It's just that I don't know what to do, Kamiya-kun, what thank you want for you? ”

Seeing him sigh, Yamabuki Nan came back to his senses and shook his head, so he asked a little twistedly.

She has grown so big that boys have never held hands a few times, but when she was in kindergarten and elementary school, she did physical education classes and other activities and teamed up for them...... It's like Kiss or something, so it's so embarrassing.

As for holding hands as a thank you gift...... That's too arrogant, isn't it?

She is very self-aware, and she doesn't think that letting a boy hold her hand can be considered a thank you gift or a reward...... What's more, Kamiya-kun is also the sweetheart of countless girls in Aino High School.

There are a lot of people who want to hold hands with him, what is she......

"Do I want any thank-you gifts?"

As soon as Shu Kamiya heard this, he fell into deep thought, and looked at her.

The thank you gift he wants most is to see the true face of Minami Yamabuki, and hope that she will stop pretending to be ugly.

It's just that this request is very unrealistic.

Aside from this requirement, the rest of the expectations are naturally intimate interactions such as kissing and hugging and lifting high.

There's not a guy who doesn't want to kiss and hug a girl...... Unless it's bent.

"Kiss me?"

After thinking about it, Shuichi Kamiya raised his hand and pointed to his cheek.

He decided to use the roof lifting theory, first put forward a relatively excessive demand, and then pretended to retreat to the real demand, that is, holding hands.

He is not in a hurry to have an intimate interaction with Minami Yamabuki, because today is the first official date.

If you do everything on your first date, you won't have anything to do on your subsequent dates.

"Does Kamiya-kun think this is a substantial thank you gift?"

When Yamabuki Nan found out that he really wanted to kiss, he was ashamed and didn't agree, but asked.

In the past, for many boys who liked her, they naturally felt that it was a good thing to be kissed by her, and they would even be very satisfied as a thank you gift.

But now it's different, she looks ugly in makeup, not what she used to be.

The way she looks now, if for Kamiya-kun, being kissed by her is a thank you gift...... That means that Kamiya-kun really likes her.

"It doesn't matter what the gift is, but it is much more sincere than verbal thanks...... And for boys, a girl's kiss as a gift is very valuable. ”

Shuichi Kamiya is talking serious nonsense.

It's on the street, and he doesn't think Minami Yamabuki will kiss him, but it doesn't matter, he's not here.

“……”

This answer made Minami Yamabuki unable to see through his mind at all, and fell silent.

"Is it okay to just hold hands?"

After Yabuki Minami hesitated, he lowered his head shyly, and spoke softly and in a low voice.

She had never been in a relationship, had no experience at all, and couldn't do this kind of behavior at all...... You can't do it where there are few people.

"What do you say? It's a bit noisy on the street and your voice is too quiet"

Her voice was too low, and she lowered her head again, and she didn't even read her lips, and Shuichi Kamiya didn't hear it clearly.

"Hand in hand...... May I? ”

Seeing that he didn't hear clearly, Yamabuki Nan raised his head and met his gaze, so he dodged in a panic and said again.

This time, the volume was a little higher, and it was closer, even if her voice was soft, Shuichi Kamiya could hear it clearly.

Seeing her shy appearance, Shuichi Kamiya felt excited, this is too cute, right?

"Okay."

Although he was extremely satisfied in his heart and was cute, Shuichi Kamiya still pretended to be reluctant to make do with it.
