After several selections, Megumi finally decided to buy the two sets of stationery that he originally selected as membership gifts for seniors Eiri and Shiyu.

Then the two of them purchased many hard cards and colored papers of different colors, as well as ribbons and other decorations one by one according to what was listed on the list.

When passing by a certain product area, the girl couldn't help but stop, reached out and picked up a cherry pink hair accessory and looked at it for a few times.

Then he turned his gaze to Kato Yusuke behind him, and saw that he was looking at his mobile phone, so he looked away again and took the hair accessory in his hand.

"We've finished shopping, we can go, Yusuke."

"All right."

After hearing this, Yusuke put his phone back in his pocket and walked towards the checkout counter with the shopping basket in his hand.

"Teacher Hasumi just sent word that she has reconciled with Kako and the others. After we finish shopping, we can go directly to the place where we left to find them. We can also think about what we are going to eat later."

"Hmm... But is this really good? I'm out to play but I let the teacher treat me."

Kato Yusuke thought for a while and said, "It would be bad to refuse the teacher's kindness directly. Otherwise, we should discuss it with everyone and try not to choose a location that is too expensive."

"Well, then I'll contact everyone." The girl nodded and said, taking out her mobile phone and starting to operate.

The two of them came to the checkout counter together and started queuing.

There are two or three customers in front waiting to pay.

The cashier was an old man who looked quite old, and his movements seemed a bit slow.

But since I had nothing to do, I wasn’t in a hurry.

It took about ten minutes to wait until it was their turn.

Kato Yusuke then placed the shopping basket on the counter, while Megumi beside him put aside the cherry pink hair accessory in his hand.

"I want to buy this myself. Let's tie it separately." The girl raised her head and said, then lowered her head again and looked at her phone.

Seeing this, Yusuke put the hair accessories directly into the basket and said to the boss: "No, just tie them together."

"Okay." The boss glanced at the two of them and nodded with a smile.

"Eh?"

After hearing this, Whitten raised his head and turned his gaze towards him.

Kato Yusuke shook his head indifferently and said, "It doesn't matter, just tie these little things together."

"Then I'll give you money."

"It's only 400 yen, don't worry about it."

The quiet gaze stayed on his face for a moment.

The girl thought for a moment and said, "Thank you, I'll buy you a drink next time."

"Well, that's fine." Yusuke replied with a hearty smile.

Wait until the payment is made and the account is settled.

"this is for you."

Kato Yusuke handed the hair accessory to the other party.

"Well, thank you."

Not knowing what to think, Hui took the hair accessory and clipped it directly to the bangs on the side.

The contrast between the lovely cherry pink color and the black silk-like hair is very obvious, and there is a sense of harmony that makes people look very comfortable.

Coupled with the other party's fashionable outfit full of summer flavor, it is really a pleasing feeling.

"It's perfect for you, a hairpin." Kato Yusuke, who generally used hairpins to describe such items, said naturally, attracting the girl's eyes.

Then he responded calmly: "Thank you, I will cherish it and use it."

"You're welcome, let's go." Yusuke smiled and nodded, picking up a large paper bag filled with stationery with one hand and walking out of the store.

Hui Ze followed closely behind.

Shopping malls during holidays are extremely chaotic, and the number of people coming and going is also considerable.

Although it's not quite as crowded as sardines, it's not too much to give in to.

Guests who cannot tell whether to walk on the left or right often bump into each other out of order.

For this reason, the two of them had to stop frequently.

It was probably approaching lunch time, and many people were looking for a place to have a meal on the street.

As a result, although it is not far from the food court and the route is not complicated, the road conditions are more congested than imagined.

Although Kato Yusuke could resist this torrent with his physical fitness, Megumi behind him obviously couldn't do the same.

Her delicate body seemed to be swallowed up by the surging crowd and carried away to an unknown distance.

At this time——

"Give me your hand."

A calm and calm voice clearly passed into my ears.

Then a broad palm extended from the back in front, giving it a reassuring feel.

The slender fingers have clear joints and the nails are trimmed very short, making them look very clean.

"..."

The girl opened her mouth slightly, and then slowly closed it again. There was a moment of tenderness in her beautiful eyes with water-cut eyes, but then she immediately became calm.

It's like a small, deep and quiet well, so that no one can see what's inside.

Then he reached out and took that hand.

A warm and powerful touch came from the palms of both sides that were pressed together.

The uneasy mood was immediately blown away by the gentle strong wind and flew to the distant sea.

The noise of the crowd seemed to quiet down for a moment.

The cries of children, the messy footsteps, the irritable complaints, everything seemed to have gone away.

Only a strange sense of stability is left, like a vacuum zone.

Just silently followed the figure in front of him.

It's strange to say.

As if in just a moment, the scene in front of me suddenly became clear, and the crowds around me relaxed.

Along with the release, there is also the warmth in the hands.

"ah……"

"alright."

Hui, who unconsciously made a small noise, and the boy who turned around met their eyes.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

The other person smiled and nodded, with a clear smile.

By bending down, she straightened the slightly messy skirt, and her soft, fluffy hair swayed naturally and gently in the breeze along the line of her jaw.

Even the cherry-pink hair accessory swayed along with it, exuding the feeling of a good child.

Wait until she has tidied up.

Kato Yusuke just said: "Continue walking?"

"Yeah." Hui nodded in agreement.

Because the place was no longer crowded, they no longer maintained their previous appearance of one behind the other, but instead walked side by side.

Leave some distance in between.

Neither of them went beyond the boundaries of friends, nor did they show any unusual side in front of each other.

We just walked together quietly and normally for a while.

A few minutes later.

After successfully returning to the food court, they saw several people who seemed to have been waiting here for a while.

Among them, Yamaguchi and Takei were holding a baseball bat and discussing something excitedly, while Teacher Hasumi and Yoshiko were also chatting and laughing.

At the same time that Kato Yusuke and Megumi saw several people, the other party also saw them at the same time.

Yamaguchi: "Oh, isn't this the student council president?"

Takei: "Ah, it's Kato, long time no see."

Jia Zi: "Xiao Hui~~ I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Teacher Hasumi: "Welcome back, you two."
