Asakura Yin thought for a moment and shook his head slightly.
"Let's go on a date."
"Dating?"
Shiina Kiri repeated, he felt inexplicably that the girl seemed to have changed.
She used to like to stay at home.
He would find various reasons to take her out for a walk, such as shopping for groceries, going to the square to listen to him playing guitar, going to the supermarket...
But on Friday evening, she waited at the door and told him, who came home very late, that she thought he would come home and take her out to play.
It's even more obvious today.
"Are you going or not?" Asakura Otoyun confirmed again calmly.
"go."
Shiina Kiri stepped forward to hold her left hand, but she dodged it.
"Asakura, do you know that your avoiding action is very shocking?"
Shiina Kiri was not angry, but said with a smile.
"Before you lead me, you have to ask me."
Asakura Yin raised his head slightly and looked directly into his eyes,
But it's obvious that the two of them have done everything they should and should not do.
Shiina Kiri didn't understand why Asakura Neto always cared about this matter.
"Then please, can I hold your hand? Asakura."
Shiina Kiri stretched out her right hand, palm upward.
Although he doesn't understand, he won't deliberately correct it according to his own ideas.
This is not a shortcoming, but rather a childish trick between lovers.
However, feelings are not only sublimated during separation between life and death, ordinary life is the norm.
"Can."
The girl put her left hand on his palm.
It's obviously just an ordinary hand-holding, but it gives people a sense of ritual.
just like……
The bride at the wedding gave her hand to him.
Shiina Kiri grabbed her hand and walked away.
"Then Asakura You should be more conscious next time."
"What."
"It means don't wait for me to ask every time before letting me lead you."
"..."
…
When the two stood side by side on the bus stop, Shiina Kiri realized a problem.
"Where are we going to play?"
He originally thought that publishing the novel would take a long time.
It may be rejected by multiple publishers, or the process may be cumbersome.
But today it went so smoothly, and it only took about an hour, including the waiting time for the two of them.
"Whatever." Asakura Yin looked at the brand new billboard across the road as if in a daze.
In fact, it doesn't matter where you go to play, even if you go home, it's fine just being next to him.
It's just that she feels that they have experienced too little between them. If she leaves, will he slowly forget about her?
After all, there is a girl named Yuka Gensei beside him.
"Go to the aquarium?"
Shiina Kiri followed her gaze and saw that the overall color of the billboard was blue, with sea creatures such as manta rays and turtles on it.
Speaking of which, one of the few anime he has watched has an aquarium plot.
He hasn't been with a girl yet.
Since today is a rare holiday, why not go to some different places.
Moreover, the label assigned to Asakura Sound by the system is a cat.
Although she can't possibly like fish.
But Shiina Kiri still felt that he should go to the aquarium with her.
"Um."
Asakura Sound also began to look at the billboard.
Nagata Station, Ueda Marine Aquarium.
The two of them took the bus for more than an hour before arriving at their destination, which was already considered a suburb.
Probably because it's newly opened and it's the weekend, there are a lot of people at the door.
After Shiina Kiri bought the ticket, she checked in with Asakura Nei.
This aquarium is not small, with a total water storage capacity of about four million liters. It claims to have more than 300 species and more than 60,000 marine creatures.
The whole area is divided into freshwater area, offshore area, specimen area, seabed observation area... several large areas, which can be divided into many small areas according to biological species.
The two of them walked in front of a glass water tank more than five meters high, watching a large group of light brown fish swimming slowly in the water tank.
There are many rocks in the tank, and the fill light is very dim.
Asakura Yin suddenly stopped and looked at the fish schools quietly.
"You don't want to ask me what kind of fish this is, do you? Asakura."
Shiina Kiri stood behind her.
"you know?"
Asakura Yin looked back at him.
"I don't know, but I can search online." After Shiina Kiri said this, she took out her mobile phone.
Asakura Yin was too lazy to pay attention to him. "This is a single-finned fish."
"You actually know each other?" Shiina Kiri was a little surprised, her tone was very sure.
He was just about to praise the girl when he saw her pointing at the vertical sign in the corner.
The sign reads:
"Single-finned fish is a warm-water bottom-dwelling fish. It hides in reefs during the day and forages for food at night. The body is elongated and the sides are flat, with dorsal and ventral edges bulging..."
Shiina Kiri. "..."
It must have been too dark for him to see it.
The two of them didn't stay here for too long.
During this period, Shiina Kiri secretly took a photo of the girl's profile.
She leaned in front of the glass window and raised her head slightly to look at the fish. The fluorescent white light used to fill in the water on the top of the tank shone on her face, and her long eyelashes seemed to be shining.
When the two left, the school of flat light brown fish continued to swim aimlessly.
There are many square and cylindrical water tanks in the aquarium, and there are many kinds of fish in them. Shiina Kiri just took a look at them, and did not carefully check the signs for each one.
They also saw an aquarium full of jellyfish, and the overall tone was very dreamy.
The two of them were walking around, and if they came across a colorful and attractive water tank, there would usually be many tourists gathered around it.
Shiina Kiri would subconsciously hold Asakura Neto's hand to prevent it from breaking up while walking.
They walked to the deep sea observation area without knowing it.
The total length of the observation gallery is 65 meters, the width is more than eight meters, and the height is about five meters.
The light is very good, and medium-to-large carnivorous creatures such as sharks and manta rays swim by from time to time. There are also brown starfish and some crustacean marine creatures on the seabed not far away, and the fish schools are even more diverse.
Asakura Yin's face has always been calm, and it seems that there is no joy or surprise like the little girl seeing a shark for the first time.
It's as bland as watching a documentary.
"What's wrong?"
Realizing that Shiina Kiri was not focusing on the creatures on the bottom of the sea, but had been looking at herself, Asakura Nei asked doubtfully.
"Asakura, is this your first time at the aquarium?"
"Yeah." Asakura Yin nodded.
"It's my first time here too."
"oh."
The response was too bland.
Although these love words sound very earthy, they are not love words no matter how you say them.
"I want to come to the aquarium with you again, the second time, the third time..."
After Asakura Yin finished speaking, she slowly walked towards the depths of the tunnel with her hands behind her back. She walked very slowly.
She should be waiting for the boy to catch up.
If she holds her hands behind her back, she probably wants him to hold her.
…
Near noon, the two came to the restaurant on the third floor of the aquarium for dinner.
About halfway through eating, Shiina Kiri's cell phone rang.
"I'm going to take a call."
Shiina Kiri said sorry and walked towards the bathroom.
Asakura Yin didn't say anything, he lowered his head and ate the sushi slowly.
When Shiina Kiri walked away, she raised her head and glanced at his back.
"Hello."
"Shiina-kun."
A neutral voice sounded from the phone.
There are many female characters in Tokyo anime who pretend to be male characters. The CVs of those characters are even female voice actors, but they insist on being male characters.
However, Kazuki Kobayakawa is really a girl, this is already a tacit understanding among the three of them.
"Monitor, what's the matter?"
Shiina Kiri turned on the faucet, held a handful of water in her right hand, splashed it on her face, and then took out two tissues and wiped it.
I always feel like I should do something in the toilet, maybe just wash my face.
"There is some inconvenience at my house this evening. I may not be able to receive guests."
Kobayakawa Kazuki said apologetically.
Aozora Shinsuke will not go back tonight, and will most likely stay in the Garden.
If Aozora Shinsuke sees Shiina Kiri, Kobayakawa Kazuki doesn't know what will happen.
She wouldn't be with him, and Aozora was just playing with him. She felt there was no need for Shiina Kiri to meet Aozora Shinsuke.
And Shiina Kiri still doesn’t know about her relationship with Aozora.
"That's it. It's okay. We can go to your house to play when we are free next time. It doesn't matter."
Shiina Kiri was quite worried about this matter.
I had previously agreed to go to Kobayakawa Kazuki's house with Yuka Gensei because Asakura Neto "takes care of" him.
If he didn't offer to take her out, she wouldn't say anything.
But recent events have made Shiina Kiri feel that Asakura Sound has changed a bit, and she seems to be actively clinging to him.
When Asakura Yin heard him say that he was going to a classmate's house to play, what if he wanted to go together?
Now that the two have had a relationship, seeing Gensheng Yuxia again...
Shiina Kiri still has no idea how he should make Asakura Nei accept Gensei Yuka.
She doesn't look like a girl who is willing to share a man with other girls.
She has a strong sense of self, and she is willing to be deceived by him just because she likes him.
He had been wishful thinking before and told her that he wanted it all, but now that he thought about it, he was really blinded by lard.
He thought about it, he didn't want to lie to her at that time, plus the blue subtitles, galgame and other abnormal factors, it was a bit arrogant.
That means she fell in love with him, otherwise she would have run away long ago.
In modern society, telling a girl that she wants to have a harem is something only people with cerebral palsy would dare to say.
All he can do now is to upgrade and give himself more capital.
In fact, let alone Asakura Ne, even Yuuka Gensei was not sure he could handle it.
Although she usually treats him submissively and is not angry when he bullies her, she is very stubborn about some things.
This is not like a galgame, this is simply the real world.
They are all very independent, and they are not the kind of dolls that will please him in every possible way once they meet the conditions, or the level of intimacy, or the level of completion is high enough.
"Okay, I'm really sorry. I will definitely treat Shiina-kun and you and Gensei-san well next time. By the way, please tell Gensei-san, I can't contact her."
"Can."
Shiina Kiri took a look, it was past 1:20 noon, it seemed that she couldn't stay in the aquarium for too long in the afternoon.
It was previously agreed that she would pick up Gensei Yuka and go to Kobayakawa Kazuki's house in the evening. If he arrived late, she would probably wait at the convenience store.
Not having a mobile phone is really troublesome. It seems that I have to find a reason to give her a mobile phone.
He spent hundreds of thousands of yen on her, and he would be embarrassed if she didn't give her some gifts.
Well, if you really stay late or have trouble getting out, just call Aunt Kawase.
"I have something else to do, so I'll hang up now. Goodbye, Shiina-kun."
"goodbye."
As soon as he finished speaking, the other party hung up the phone.
Shiina Kiri put her cell phone back into her pocket and headed back the way she came.
The girl has finished eating and is playing with her mobile phone at the dining table.
“How’s the fresh fish sushi here?”
Shiina Kiri asked seemingly casually. He always occasionally asked her if the food was delicious, as if he didn't know that she had no sense of taste.
This morning he specifically watched Asakura Yin's special plot line mission, and it did not show failure.
It seems that it is not necessary to eat the food she cooked for a month without interruption, but for a month cumulatively.
This is indeed very good. Although he was prepared to fail the mission last night, it would be best if he could not fail.
He has accumulated 1285 strategy points, and I believe he will be able to redeem his second gene capsule (taste) soon.
At that time, even if the system is joking with him, it will fail with a success rate of 82, so it must succeed the second time.
He really wanted her to eat delicious food.
What will her expression be like after regaining her sense of taste?
He couldn't imagine it.
“It’s delicious.”
Asakura Yin said after pondering for a moment.
"I think it's pretty good too."
Shiina Kiri brought the unfinished sushi in front of her and ate it naturally.
He has been running recently and feels his appetite is better.
Asakura Yin looked at him eating sushi and remained silent.
I didn't ask who made the call.
She said that if she still liked him, he would be easy to deceive.
She didn't even check his phone, even though he slept next to her every night.
"Let's go back."
After Shiina Kiri swept away all the sushi on the plate, Asakura Nei said softly.
"Ah? Aren't there still exhibition areas that you haven't finished reading?"
They only saw part of it, and there were still many places they hadn't visited, such as the specimen area.
"Come back next time." Asakura Yin said.
Shiina was confused, even though she told him that they would come together for the second and third time in the future...
But don’t we still have a long time this afternoon? Why not just finish visiting the aquarium?
"I want to go back and listen to you playing guitar." Asakura explained.
The owner felt that he had been with the kitten for a long time, but he knew it but took it for granted.
While he was working and studying, she was always waiting for him at home.
He could see her when he got home, but she waited for him for a whole day.
You thought you had been with her for ten years, but was it really ten years that you two stayed together?
In fact, she will wait for you for ten years.
In that old rental house.
Your life is much more than her, but her life is only you.
The young people written in her novels are all you.
You think you still have a long way to go in the future, but the kitten will leave too.
Will leave.
…
When the two returned to the rental house, it was only around two o'clock in the afternoon.
Shiina Kiri turned on the fan and sat on the sofa.
"What song do you want to listen to?"
"It will be all right."
Asakura Yin leaned on the corner of the sofa.
Shiina Kiri thought for a while, then picked up the guitar and played a few songs she had learned in college.
She hugged her knees and listened quietly.
He thought it was just a microcosm of ordinary life.
