He tried to save the fallen girls, but they came after him instead.

After walking a distance, the three breathed a sigh of relief. Ahead, a crowd had gathered, which was probably a small supermarket, a necessary facility provided by every school.

"Shirakawa, I'll buy some pens and notebooks first," Maki said.

“Go ahead, we’ll wait for you here,” Shirakawa replied.

Maki waved and left, leaving Sakura speechless.

Sakura kicked a small pebble on the ground, her thoughts unknown.

Coincidentally, Shirakawa saw some snacks such as candy and chocolate being sold at the entrance of the supermarket.

He used the "Basic Food and Lodging Free Voucher" to buy a small bag, then stood next to Mido Sakura and started eating.

He deliberately made a loud noise while peeling the candy wrapper, and then put it in his mouth to make a crunching sound.

Mito Sakura glanced at it, her lips twitched slightly, she swallowed, and quickly walked into the supermarket, buying a large bag of candy and chocolate.

Beside Shirakawa, the two seemed to be competing, imitating Shirakawa's actions of peeling candy wrappers and eating candy.

The candy still tastes the same, even a bit bland compared to before.

Meanwhile, Shirakawa was still enjoying his meal.

Does his candy taste better?

"Hey~ you otaku~, share some of your candy with me!" Midori Sakura stretched out her little hand at Shirakawa and said with a pout.

"Didn't you already buy it?"

"I bought it, but I want to eat yours!" Midori Sakura hooked her four fingers together.

"No!"

“You won’t give it to me? Then…” Midori shook her phone, hinting to Shirakawa.

It's definitely not something that will be released easily, and Shirakawa is well aware of this.

In any case, it's unlikely that Mito Sakura would allow herself to be completely ruined and lose all her social standing.

In short, knowing full well that this little "handle" had become part of their game.

Midori Sakura hinted that as long as it wasn't too outrageous, Shirakawa should obediently do as she was told.

"I really have no choice, you can have them all." Shirakawa stuffed the bag of candy into Mitsu Sakura's arms.

Mido Sakura took a few pieces and put them in her mouth, chewing slowly. She found that the taste was no different from her own.

I feel like I've been tricked again.

"Sakura-sama, how does the candy taste?" Shirakawa asked with a smile.

"Not good at all," Mito Sakura said indignantly, while still chewing on a handful of candy.

After buying the notebooks, Maki walked out and saw Sakura carrying two bags of candy, and Shirakawa standing next to her with a forced smile.

A wave of excitement washed over him, and Shirakawa immediately began to learn how to build a good relationship with his sister-in-law.

Should I tell my mother about it?

---

Nikaido walked out of the school with his schoolbag on his back.

I spotted the muscular, strong woman smoking from afar.

Nikaido straightened his clothes, took out the makeup mirror he had just borrowed from a female classmate, checked his face over and over again, covered up the small bruises on his face that he had caused when he was being naughty with the borrowed foundation, took a deep breath, and stepped forward.

"Akaza, it's been a long time."

Akaza Sakine, with her cigarette still between her two fingers, paused for a moment when she saw Nikaido.

"Misaki?"

"it's me."

Akaza Sakine stepped forward and looked Nikaido up and down.

A moment later, he suddenly broke into a big smile and rubbed Nikaido's head with his large hand.

"Cousin, long time no see! You've become such a model student!" Akaza chuckled, gently pinching Nikaido's arm muscles. "You've developed quite well!"

Then she poked Nikaido's bear with her finger: "You're becoming more and more womanly!"

“Yes, yes,” Nikaido chimed in with a laugh.

Nikaido's physique is among the best of high school girls, but compared to Akaza, she's still a dwarf.

"Get in the car, I'll treat you to dinner and take you to the shopping street for a while! Let's catch up, sisters!" Akaza shoved the helmet off her motorcycle into Nikaido's hands.

He hopped on the motorcycle, with Nikaido sitting behind him, his arm around Akaza's waist.

My cousin's helmet was a little too big for Nikaido's head, and it looked a bit loose.

"Are you seated?"

"Yes, cousin."

Akaza turned the motorcycle key hard, started the engine, and slowly moved forward.

The students had just finished school, and there were many vehicles coming and going. The road conditions were also complicated. My cousin was sitting in the back, so I had to be extra careful.

"Cousin, how are your grades lately?"

Nikaido's total test scores combined might barely reach 100.

"Ah, it's alright," Nikaido said tactfully.

"What did you say?"

The helmet must have blocked Nikaido's voice.

“I say, it’s alright,” Nikaido said loudly.

"Hehe~ You have to study hard, don't end up like your older cousin, all big and rough, unable to even find a boyfriend. By the way, speaking of which..."

The light ahead was red, and the small supermarket next door was packed with students leaving school. Akaza stopped his motorcycle and waited for the light to turn red.

"Cousin, do you have a boyfriend yet?"

"Not...not yet." Nikaido's voice trembled slightly as he adjusted his helmet, trying to hide his shy expression.

“That means you have someone you like!” Akaza was already in his twenties and had been out in the world for a while, so he saw right through his cousin’s little scheme.

"I guess so." Nikaido hugged Akaza's waist, tightening his grip.

"Who is it? Introduce it to your cousin later, and let me take a good look at it for you," Akaza said confidently.

Suddenly, she spotted Shirakawa in the crowd at the supermarket.

“Cousin, it’s…” Nikaido released his grip, his finger about to point at Shirakawa.

But then they discovered that Shirakawa had given Mitsu Sakura a bag of candy, and Maki, who had come out, was chatting and laughing with Shirakawa.

Nikaido looked slightly sad, lowered his raised hand, and hugged Akaza's waist again.

"Who? What's wrong?" Akaza followed the direction Nikaido had pointed and saw two women and a man playfully fighting.

Nikaido hugged Akaza tightly; for some reason, she desperately wanted to hide herself away at that moment...

Akaza sensed a slight abnormality in Nikaido's body and then looked up to stare intently at Shirakawa, who was chatting with his back to him.

Shirakawa sensed a faint killing intent, as if it were a thorn in his back. He turned around and happened to meet Akaza's gaze.

Because Nikaido was wearing a helmet, Shirakawa didn't recognize her.

All he saw was the muscular thug girl who had been at the school gate earlier, now sitting on a motorcycle, her sharp eyes fixed on his direction.

Shirakawa quickly looked away, pretending nothing had happened.

I was sweating profusely.

The red light just happened to turn green, and Akaza snorted coldly, started his motorcycle, and drove away.

There were quite a few people around, and Akaza wasn't entirely sure which one it was, but her intuition told her that the person Nikaido liked was most likely that guy.

It's only a high probability, not 100% certain.

But the man was chatting happily with other women.

Through their physical contact, Akaza could more or less sense that something was wrong with his cousin.

I need to ask more questions during dinner.

37. Yayoi Akiyama wants to make a move 2

Yayoi Akiyama followed the three out of the school at a distance. To avoid being recognized, she put on a mask and a baseball cap.

The phone was in recording mode the whole time, kept in my pocket with the front camera showing, recording Shirakawa's every move.

There was nothing particularly exciting, and it still took up a lot of my phone's memory.

Of course, he also noticed the muscular woman smoking on the other side of the fence.
