Tokyo: Simulation Begins with the Big Sister Next Door

I don't know how Tamamo Yuki, with such a slender figure, manages to run with such a weight on her back.

"Is it heavy?" Tamamo Yuki asked with some concern.

"It's alright." An Zeliang smiled. "Tamamo-kun, let's go inside first."

"Okay!" Tamamo Yuki nodded and followed closely beside Ansawa Ryo into the shopping street.

From the outside, it doesn't seem like much, but once you enter the shopping street, a long and bustling street comes into view, lined with shops and stalls on both sides. There are many people coming and going, but it doesn't feel crowded.

Above the shopping street, there were many fake wooden beams and antique lanterns, instantly creating a festive atmosphere.

"This looks like pretty fun," An Zeliang said with a smile.

"Yes, I did my homework before coming. Anze, wait for me a moment."

As Tamamo Yuki spoke, she reached into her schoolbag and began rummaging through it...

Minutes later, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, and she pulled out a few tattered pieces of paper.

"Tamamo-kun, what are these?" An Zeliang looked at the pieces of paper with some confusion. There seemed to be something written on them in colorful patterns.

"It's a travel guide I made..." Tamamo Yuki stared blankly at the pile of papers, "I never imagined that something I just stuffed in my bag would turn into this..."

Ah… Tamamo-san, as unlucky as ever…

An Zeliang was both amused and exasperated.

"...It's okay!" A few seconds later, Tamamo Yuki took a deep breath, crumpled up the piece of paper, threw it into the trash can by the roadside, and comforted her with a smile.

“Anze, actually I had a feeling this would happen, so after I made the strategy guide, I memorized it all.”

"Cough cough..."

Clearing his throat, Tamamo Yuki walked into the shopping street with Yasuzawa Ryo, pointing to the unique shops and stalls along the roadside and introducing them in a serious manner.

"This shopping street tour covers a total distance of 2.1 kilometers, and features many unique shops..."

An Zeliang listened, his expression slightly taken aback.

"2.1 kilometers?"

"Yes, that's right." Tamamo Yuki nodded, somewhat puzzled. "Anze-kun, what's wrong?"

Japan's longest shopping street is about three kilometers long, and the shopping street in Bunkyo Ward is two kilometers long, which is not really anything special.

but……

An Zeliang looked at the schoolbag in his hand, then at Tamamo Yuki.

"Tamamo-kun, did you come from the other entrance?"

"Hmm, is that so?" Tamamo Yuki looked at Anze Ryo with some doubt. "I usually walk a lot and have good physical fitness... so after running at full speed, it only took me half an hour to get to the entrance here."

"If the bag hadn't been a bit heavy, I could have run even faster."

Upon hearing this, An Zeliang nodded.

"Tamamo-san, I'll pick you up next time. It'll be more cost-effective if the two of us take a taxi together."

"Okay."

"... "

The two chatted as they strolled casually through the shopping street.

Actually, although they are called specialty shops and stalls, the things they sell are pretty much the same as usual: candied apples, takoyaki, okonomiyaki... and some common game stalls such as goldfish scooping and balloon popping.

But Tamamo Yuki had a great time, and whenever she came across a food stall with a sign that said "Specialty," she would go over and buy some for Yasuzawa Ryo to try.

Seeing this, Anze also took out his wallet and bought one for Tamamo Yuki. Tamamo Yuki was initially unwilling, saying that as long as Anze had fun and enjoyed the food, that was fine.

"No, if Tamamo-kun doesn't eat with me, I feel like something's missing, and I won't be as happy," Anze Liang said seriously.

"Well, alright then." Tamamo Yuki nodded hesitantly.

Seeing this, Anze bought another candied apple and handed it to Tamamo Yuki.

Carefully taking the candied apple, Tamamo Yuki took a small bite from the edge and licked her lips.

"Is it good?" An Zeliang asked with a smile.

"Mmm, delicious, especially delicious." Tamamo Yuki smiled, her eyes sparkling.

"I always thought that a serving of candied apples would cost several thousand yen, but I didn't expect it to be so cheap. You can buy one for a few hundred yen."

"If I had known this would happen, I would have invited Anze to the shopping street sooner."

"That's enough."

"And the candied apples weren't as sour as I expected. The syrup coating was sweet and crunchy. I'll... ah!"

Before Tamamo Yuki could finish speaking, her foot suddenly wobbled, and a dark object flew out from the sole of her shoe.

"Be careful." An Zeliang reacted quickly and immediately reached out to support Tamamo Yuki.

"I, I'm fine..." Tamamo Yuki blushed as she steadied herself, then ran out with a strange gait and retrieved the dark object.

An Zeliang took a look and saw that what she had picked up was the short heel of a student's leather shoe...

"I've been wearing them for too long, and the heels aren't very durable anymore," Tamamo Yuki explained sheepishly, standing on her tiptoes a little awkwardly.

"Tamamo-san, sit here. I'll go buy you a new pair of shoes." Anze Liang pointed to the bench by the roadside and then left.

“No need, no need…” Tamamo Yuki stopped Yasuzawa Ryo, “Actually, this is fine.”

As she spoke, Tamamo Yuki tiptoed awkwardly to the roadside, stomped twice on the roadside, and twisted her ankle.

"Qiang Qiang!"

Tamamo Yuki twisted a tissue under her foot, then opened her palm... and another heel.

"Now both shoes have no heels, and apart from being a little shorter when worn, they feel just the same as before."

Tamamo Yuki smiled and explained, then wrapped up the two heels and stuffed them back into her bag.

A pair of student leather shoes is quite expensive, but if you take them home and repair them with tools, you can still wear them.

Seeing this, An Zeliang thought for a moment, pointed to a shop on the street corner, and continued speaking.

"Tamamo-san, I'd like to visit that store. Could you come with me?"

Chapter 185, Section 182: Returning Home, a Chance Encounter! A New Battleground?

The shopping street naturally has clothing stores, and the store Anze Liang pointed to is a common affordable chain clothing store in the area.

“Sure.” Tamamo Yuki nodded, her expression revealing undisguised anticipation. “Anze, let’s go in.”

“Okay.” Anze Liang nodded and walked over with Tamamo Yuki.

Those who buy clothes in these affordable clothing stores are mostly students and young people who have just started working. The people coming and going all have pure and lively faces. Every now and then, high school girls wearing sailor uniforms will come in groups of three or five, carrying clothes and smiling as they go to pay.

Yasuzawa Ryo and Tamamo Yuki were both students, and they blended in naturally.

However... Yasuzawa Ryo is already very handsome, and Tamamo Yuki is also very good-looking.

Walking outside the shopping street is fine; many people are there to have fun. At most, you'll glance at them, say a few words, and then move on.

But now that the two of them are walking among many people of the same age, the opposite sex of the same age will naturally pay more attention to the handsome man and beautiful woman.

"Hey? That guy... he looks kind of familiar?"

"I saw his picture in a school's advertisement before, let me look for it... Look, it's him, the top student who got first place in the math competition!"

"Go away, don't show it to me. I can't stand people who are both smart and good-looking. I'll be so jealous I'll cry."

"... "

The students were quite reserved, although some high school girls were glancing at Anze Liang and Tamamo Yuki intentionally or unintentionally, and some even walked past them several times as if nothing was wrong, constantly admiring the two of them.

However, they only whispered a few words to their friends, occasionally casting envious and longing glances, without disturbing the two of them.

after all……

Tamamo Yuki's looks are also top-notch.

With a small and delicate face, gentle and obedient eyebrows and eyes, she also has a pure and innocent temperament, cute and adorable.

Even those who dared to ask Anze Liang for his contact information silently gave up the idea after seeing Tamamo Yuki.

As for high school boys…

It's unlikely that guys would shop in groups at clothing stores anyway. The few men in the store were there to accompany their girlfriends. Even if they thought Tamamo was pretty, they wouldn't say anything, they could only glance at her a few more times with an indifferent expression.

An Zeliang was already used to the gazes around him, his eyes sweeping over the clothes as he continued to select.

However, Tamamo Yuki, who was standing next to him, seemed somewhat uncomfortable.

Everyone is dressed so beautifully, and their clothes are all so fashionable. Am I dressed too plainly today...?

As Yuki Tamamo pondered this, she glanced furtively at the other girls, then subconsciously checked her clothes and hair again in front of the store's full-length mirror.

Normally, she would hunch her back slightly because of shyness, but now she straightened up silently, adopting a dignified and graceful posture.

After doing all this, Tamamo Yuki finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“…Anze, I…I’m going to go look at some clothes over there…”

“Okay, I’m almost done picking out my clothes too. See you at the changing area later?” An Zeliang nodded with a smile.

"Hmm..." Tamamo Yuki said seriously

He stared at An Zeliang for about ten seconds, then turned and walked away.

Five or six minutes later, before An Zeliang had finished picking out the clothes, Yuzao Xing came back carefully carrying a few pieces of clothing. She seemed very afraid of wrinkling or getting the clothes dirty, so she didn't walk fast and looked a little nervous, glancing at the clothes every now and then.

Upon seeing An Zeliang's figure, Tamamo Yuki's tense expression gradually faded, and she smiled shyly with a slight upturn of her lips.

“Anze, classmate…”

She called his name softly, and Tamamo Yuki ran over, carrying her clothes.

An Zeliang turned his head and glanced at it, slightly taken aback.

Tamamo Yukina's clothes were obviously too big, and the colors were mostly black, gray and white... There wasn't a single piece of women's clothing, they were all men's clothing.

"I'm not very good at picking out clothes, so it took me a while to choose. Anze... why don't you try it on? It shouldn't look too bad, right..."
