In music anime, band girls won't be alone.

Shirakawa noticed the other person's unusual behavior and asked curiously,

"Dengjiang, what's wrong?"

Takamatsu gently shook her head, then changed into slippers, walked into the living room, and sat on the sofa.

Volume 1: Chapter 56 Let Me Do It

Shirakawa took a bottle of drink from the refrigerator and placed it in front of Takamatsu Akari, his eyes filled with concern.

"Deng-chan, are you hot?"

Why does your face look so red?

Gao Songdeng immediately lowered his head even further and whispered, "It's nothing."

Shirakawa Sawa didn't ask any more questions. He turned around, opened the drawer under the TV cabinet, took out a box with the words "Marine Life Series Part 2" printed on it, and placed it in front of Takamatsu Akari.

Upon seeing the box, the girl's shyness lessened, replaced by joy.

She reached for the box, examined the pictures printed on it, and unconsciously began to identify the fish depicted.

"This is a grouper, this is a Napoleon wrasse, and this... should be a type of flounder..."

After identifying the fish on the surface, Takamatsu Akari looked up at Shirakawa Sawa, her eyes sparkling, all shyness gone, replaced by curiosity and excitement.

"Ze-jun, can I open it and take a look?"

Shirakawa Ze smiled and nodded.

"of course can."

"Moreover, this box is a collector's edition, which not only includes all types in the series, but also comes with a set of corresponding stickers."

Gao Songdeng exclaimed, "Wow, that's amazing!" and then opened the box.

Seeing the bandages printed with various fish shapes, the girl was overwhelmed with excitement and immediately arranged them neatly on the table.

After arranging them, Gao Songdeng counted that there were 16 kinds of deep-sea fish bandages in the box, with two of each kind.

The included sticker set features each type of fish.

This kind of complete collection can definitely be called a Takamatsu lamp trap.

At that moment, she was filled with longing for this set of band-aids.

She had also looked into this information, but the collector's edition is limited and can only be obtained from the official website.

Two days ago, she held her phone and waited for the release time, but it sold out immediately as soon as it went on sale, and she couldn't get one at all.

Shirakawa looked at the girl in front of him, whose emotions were changing, and knew that she must like it, so he turned around and took out another box from the drawer of the TV cabinet.

This box is the collector's edition of the "Marine Life Series Part 1".

After placing it in front of Takamatsu Todora, Shirakawa Sawa slowly spoke.

"Dengjiang, these are all for you."

"As a token of my gratitude for all that you have done for the school festival."

Before Takamatsu Akari could even decline, Shirakawa Sawa continued,

"Now that I've expressed my gratitude to Deng-chan, today's massage service can't be free."

Takamatsu Akari paused for a moment, looked at the boy in front of her, and then laughed.

"Ze-jun...you really..."

She didn't know how to describe it, but she felt that the other person always hid a perfectly timed slyness within their warmth, which naturally and silently eliminated her embarrassment when receiving kindness...

Takamatsu Akari put the band-aids and stickers arranged on the table into a box, then looked at Shirakawa Sawa.

"Zejun, how much do you charge for your massage services?"

Shirakawa Ze feigned an air of loneliness and arrogance, his tone becoming increasingly dramatic.

"As a top expert in the massage industry and a master of practice who serves up to one person, my fees are naturally quite high."

"I wonder if you are mentally prepared?"

Hearing the strange tone and wording, Takamatsu Akari covered her mouth and chuckled again, then looked at the boy with curiosity.

"Master, I'm mentally prepared. May I ask how much your massage services cost?"

Shirakawa Ze solemnly extended one finger.

"Neck and shoulder massage, 100 yen!"

Then open your palms, changing from one to five.

"Full body massage, 500 yen!"

“Miss, if you can’t accept such a high price, you can leave now. We won’t laugh at you for it.”

Takamatsu felt that Shirakawa Sawa was too funny. All the worries and anxieties in her heart before coming had disappeared, leaving only happiness.

She covered her mouth, trying not to laugh too loudly, but it was really hard to hold it in, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Shirakawa Sawa coughed twice on purpose.

"Please, young lady, do not disturb this master's mood."

Even if you're very cute, I won't give you a discount!

Gao Songdeng couldn't help but laugh out loud. For some reason, he felt particularly refreshed while laughing, and at the same time, he felt as if some seed had been planted in his heart.

At this point, she couldn't perceive what the seed looked like, nor did she know what it would become in the future.

But none of that matters for now.

She looked at Shirakawa Sawa, pulled out a tissue to wipe away the happy tears from the corners of her eyes, then took out five hundred yen and placed it on the table.

"Then, Master, thank you for your hard work."

Shirakawa Ze nodded solemnly.

"Please lie down on the sofa, and this master will provide you with a world-class massage service."

Gao Songdeng smiled and nodded, then sprawled out on the sofa.

As for massage techniques, she couldn't really tell how good Shirakawa was, because she had never had a massage and therefore couldn't make a comparison.

However, one thing is certain: she felt quite good while being massaged.

Aside from the tingling sensation that occasionally occurs when the other person's fingers touch my skin...

After all, she had never experienced a massage before and usually stayed at home with little physical activity, so her skin was delicate and sensitive, and she could easily feel it when touched.

After the full-body massage, Takamatsu felt much more comfortable from head to toe.

But at the same time, she felt some strange sensations in certain parts of her body, which made her very shy.

She tried hard to stop thinking about these things and to prevent these impure thoughts from appearing in her mind.

After sitting up from the sofa, Takamatsu Akari looked up at Shirakawa Sawa.

"Ze-jun...you've worked so hard..."

Shirakawa Sawa smiled and put the 500 yen on the table into his pocket.

"It's only right to do things after getting paid."

Hearing the boy's breathing was a little heavy, Takamatsu assumed he was tired from the massage and a hint of apology appeared on his face.

"I'm sorry, Ze-jun, I shouldn't have let you give me a full-body massage. You've really gone to a lot of trouble..."

Shirakawa Ze smiled and waved his hand.

"It's not hard."

It wasn't hard at all; the reason his breathing became heavier was because the beautiful girl's body made his heart beat faster.

After all, he wasn't a saint; he couldn't possibly remain calm while touching such a beautiful body.

From Takamatsu's perspective, the other party's words were clearly just polite talk, and his feelings of apology deepened even more.

She felt she had to do something to make up for what the other person had done.

After thinking it over, she felt that she could give it a try.

So he looked up at Shirakawa Sawa.

"Ze-jun, how about I give you a massage instead?"

Volume 1: Chapter 57 I Will No Longer Deliberately Avoid You

Upon hearing Takamatsu Akari's words, Shirakawa Sawa obediently lay down on the sofa.

The girl looked at the other person's back, blinked nervously, and spoke softly.

"Ze-kun, if you're not feeling well... please tell me..."

Shirakawa Ze nodded, giving her a reassuring look.

Takamatsu raised her hand and gently touched the boy's shoulder before immediately pulling it back.

This was the first time she had ever touched the other person's body on her own initiative, even though she had mentally prepared herself before speaking.

But when it came to actually doing it, her inner shyness still made her unconsciously tense up.

After taking a deep breath, Takamatsu raised her hands again and slowly placed them on Shirakawa Sawa's shoulders, then gently, tentatively, gave them a squeeze.

He immediately stopped what he was doing, tilted his head slightly, and looked at the boy's face.

"Ze-kun, was what you did just now... okay?"

Shirakawa gave a reassuring smile.

"Don't be afraid, Deng-chan, just use all your strength."

Takamatsu nodded, then mimicked the massage techniques the other person had used on him, first stroking and kneading to relax his muscles, then pressing, pushing, and rubbing...

Her hands were small and soft, and not very strong; they couldn't even fully grasp the boy's shoulders and neck.
