Chapter 72 My Assistant Lady (Please Read!!)

Sakurai Itsuki and Sato Wakaba looked at each other.

After noticing Sakurai Itsuki's gaze, Sato Wakaba pushed her eyebrows together, trying to make her look more fierce.

Facing her fierce look, Sakurai Itsuki turned his head, put his indoor shoes into the shoe cabinet, then put on his backpack and planned to leave.

"Hey, did you see me?"

Sato Wakaba finally gave in, stepped forward quickly and punched Sakurai Itsuki on the back.

"Ah, it hurts."

Sakurai Itsuki shouted in a rather pretentious manner.

"Tsk, I didn't even try hard, why are you ignoring me?"

Sato Wakaba really couldn't stand this guy today. It seemed like he was deliberately trying to make her angry.

"The crying child gets the milk." Sakurai Itsuki said so, and then glanced at Sato Wakaba, whose face was full of the word "angry". "I thought you were going to ignore me."

Sato Wakaba snorted coldly upon hearing this: "Hmph, I just don't want to bother with you today. I'm just here as a temporary assistant to ask if you have any work arrangements."

"There's nothing important today, so goodbye." Sakurai Itsuki nodded to Sato Wakaba and left.

Looking at Sakurai Itsuki's leaving back, Sato Wakaba stomped her feet in anger.

This guy is really bad.

"Aren't you ignoring me?"

Sakurai Itsuki glanced at Sato Wakaba who finally followed him.

"Oh, I just thought it was a rare day that I didn't have to rehearse, so I thought I'd go home early and rest."

As Sato Wakaba spoke, she took another half step back, keeping a distance of about two body lengths from Sakurai Itsuki.

Sakurai Itsuki wondered why she had learned the same thing from Hanase Shion?
But he didn't say anything else, just walked forward silently.

The two of them were exceptionally quiet on their way home from school.

Sato Wakaba, who usually talks incessantly, was silent at this moment. She half lowered her head, staring at Sakurai Itsuki's heels, cursing Sakurai Itsuki in her heart.

I had clearly made an exception and waited for him, and even found a "job" for him. All I had to do was apologize to me, but he still behaved like this!
I can't forgive him no matter what today!

The two walked towards the tram station without saying a word, but when they reached the traffic light intersection where they used to walk side by side, Sakurai Itsuki turned and walked towards another intersection.

Hey, isn't he going home?

Seeing his sudden turn, Sato Wakaba raised her head with some curiosity.

Where is he going today?
Sakurai Itsuki remained silent, standing at another intersection, waiting for the traffic light to turn green.

Sato Wakaba pursed her lips, feeling conflicted.

Should I go home directly or continue to follow?

Humph, let’s just go home.

If I follow him, won't it seem like I'm trying to please someone who doesn't like me?
He's been given so many chances, but he didn't seize them!
Just when Sato Wakaba decided to turn around and go home alone in a fit of anger, Sakurai Itsuki, who saw the green light just coming on, turned back and called out to Sato Wakaba who was about to walk to another intersection.

"Hurry up, the green light will end soon."

Sakurai Itsuki looked at the hot girl whose whole body had "I'm sulking" written all over her and finally laughed.

"Come this way. I'm going to buy you a gift. You have to go. Everyone is waiting for you, my assistant."

Sato Wakaba stopped and turned to look at Sakurai Itsuki.

The light blue pupils reflected the Tokyo sky, the buildings on the street corners, the people running on the sidewalks, the cars waiting in front of the crosswalk, and finally, the focus was on his playful smile.

She was stunned.

next second.

The corners of her mouth curved up, her eyes curved, and finally she grinned, her smile as bright as the summer sun.

"Run! Time's running out!"

She stretched out her legs and sprinted away, like an athlete in a race, quickly surpassing Sakurai Itsuki. Then, at the traffic light in front of Sakurai Itsuki, she pointed at him and grinned, "Hurry up! You're really taking as long as an old man!"

She was gloomy just now, but in an instant she became brighter than the sun.

Just as Sato Wakaba said that day, she is such a cute creature with moody expressions.

"Aren't you going to ignore me?" Sakurai Itsuki asked.

"Didn't you ask me to come along? What do you mean everyone's waiting for me? Did you ask everyone to prepare a surprise party for me?"

Sato Wakaba returned to her usual chattering state, blinking her eyes and asking several questions in a row with an excited look on her face.

"It's better for you to ignore me. Someone who doesn't know would think it's your 80th birthday today. You're so nagging."

There was a hint of disgust in Sakurai Itsuki's words.

But Sato Wakaba didn't care at all. She poked Sakurai Itsuki's shoulder with her finger and grinned, "So, you've been prepared all along! Were you deliberately trying to piss me off this morning? Seriously, that's too much."

"Don't you love surprises the most? If you wake up and see the scene you want to see, would it still be a surprise?" Sakurai Itsuki asked.

"Yeah~ But I won't do this next time. I was really angry today, and I even decided to ignore you for three days." Sato Wakaba said, "This kind of happiness built on pain is really subtle."

"But I've always been very happy. Look at you baring your teeth, grinning, and stomping your feet." Sakurai Itsuki said that he enjoyed it.

"Your fetish is indeed very perverted! It's up to you, but I will definitely not fall for it next time."

Sato Wakaba shrugged her nose, obviously dissatisfied with Sakurai Itsuki's behavior of making fun of her.

But now her mood seemed so good that Sakurai Itsuki could forgive him no matter what, so she didn't pursue it.

"By the way, where are we going now?"

"Electrical City."

"Electrical city? What are you planning to give me?" Sato Wakaba asked curiously.

"Computer, drawing board, monitor, and some supporting things."

Sakurai Itsuki said that he had prepared a configuration list in advance.

It was just a gift, and women care more about the style and appearance of a computer than its performance, so I brought her there and let her choose the case style, keyboard, mouse, etc.

"That's too expensive~ Those things are so expensive."

Sato Wakaba was shocked when she heard this. The computer plus all that stuff would cost at least 200,000 or 300,000 yen.
That’s a lot of matcha cake!
"This is a must-have for a formal assistant. Besides, the club has other projects coming up and might need your help. Stop torturing that crappy laptop of yours. You nearly made it smoke last time you were playing games."

Sakurai Itsuki said that her laptop was fine for line drawing work, after all, Japan's serialized comics were all black and white.

But if I want to make a gala game in the future, which involves color pictures and helps with video editing, then it will be totally insufficient.

"It's okay, the kid just turned a little slowly, don't say he's broken! But speaking of it, the gift you gave me was originally a necessity."

Sato Wakaba sighed, but it was better this way. If it wasn't necessary for work, she would feel uncomfortable accepting such an expensive gift.

"What? If you don't want it, forget it."

"Yes!" Sato Wakaba raised her hand high like a child and answered loudly.

"By the way, can I use it to play games?"

"Of course, it's your computer."

Sakurai Itsuki nodded. Although it was due to work needs, since it was a gift, the ownership of the computer was of course hers, and she could do whatever she wanted with it.

If the gift was given just to get her to help him with his work, even Sakurai Itsuki would think it was a bit too cruel.

"Can I play with you then?"

"depend on mood."

"Okay, I'm going to cook some overcooked food. I've watched the video before and it seems pretty interesting."

"Forget about that. I'm too lazy to coax you again."

The two walked side by side, joking and playing. Sato Wakaba's dissatisfaction did not last a day, and they reconciled again.
