Just as Koizumi Mio was rushing towards the 11th-6th ward of Morita Shrine, in the furniture mall, Hase Takuya was looking speechlessly at the handsome tomboy next to him.

"Could you please choose a normal cabinet?"

"Isn't this normal?"

"This is normal?!"

Even the furniture store sales assistant standing nearby seemed a little embarrassed during their conversation.

Looking at the large, dark metal cabinet in front of the two people, the sales assistant hesitated for a moment before speaking softly.

"Miss, this cabinet isn't for storing clothes..."

As the sales assistant spoke, Mako calmly turned to look down at her.

"Can't it hold anything?"

"Of course, it can be used to store things..."

"Then you can store clothes."

"But... this cabinet was originally designed for storing documents or tools..."

As the sales assistant spoke helplessly, Takuya Hase pulled Mako behind him.

"One more of that brown wardrobe, please. The address is..."

Just as Takuya Hase was about to give the address, Mako grabbed him and put her hand on his shoulder.

"I want this one."

"..."

Hearing Mako's soft, pleading voice for the first time, Takuya Hase helplessly turned to look at her.

Looking at the faint pleading in her usually calm eyes, Takuya Hase sighed heavily and covered his forehead.

"Send that brown wardrobe and this big metal wardrobe over together."

A hint of joy appeared in Mako's eyes as she heard Takuya Hase's agreement.

【Name - Mako Yamamura, Meme Reaper】

[Characteristic: Never stop, never give up]

[Humanity: 20 points]

[Ghostly Principle: 50 points]

Looking at the panel that Mako had automatically popped up in front of him for the first time, and the five-point increase in his humanity value, Hase Takuya pursed his lips.

You really like this big, dark metal box, huh...?

Meanwhile, looking at Mako's hand still resting on Takuya's shoulder, Kayako's eyes revealed intense jealousy.

"Takuya, give me Kuro..."

"oh."

After taking Mako's hand, Hase Takuya turned around and lifted the little black thing up by its armpit, handing it to Kayanoko.

The little black dog, who had been comfortably perched on Hase Takuya's shoulder, now lay somewhat bewildered on its owner's chest, gazing at the joy that had surfaced in her eyes from stopping Hase Takuya and Mako from getting too close.

Xiao Hei thought its owner missed it, so it immediately meowed affectionately and stepped on her breasts to rub its cheeks.

Arriving outside the furniture store, Takuya Hasegawa looked at the traffic on the road and pondered for a moment before turning to the self-conscious girl and speaking softly.

"How about I buy your underwear while I'm at it?"

Jia Yezi's fair face flushed slightly, and her shy appearance startled the boys around her.

"I...I'll listen to Takuya..."

Looking at her shy expression, Hase Takuya pursed his lips.

"You also need to learn to make your own decisions. When we go shopping for clothes later, you'll have to choose them yourself."

"Um!"

When they arrived at the women's clothing store in the shopping mall, Takuya Hasegawa originally didn't plan to go in. However, he noticed that when asked by the sales assistant, Yoshiyuki would always subconsciously look in his direction for help and couldn't say a word for a long time.

Hasegawa Takuya had no choice but to go to the women's clothing store.

"Ma'am, what kind of clothes are you looking to buy?"

As the sales assistant spoke again, seeing Mako standing alone outside because of Hase Takuya's arrival, Jia Yezi's lips curled up almost imperceptibly for a moment.

"I...I want to buy underwear..."

The sales assistant finally heard her needs and breathed a sigh of relief as she led her to the lingerie section.

There was no complaint, after all, it was obvious at a glance that this pretty girl was somewhat insecure. If this man hadn't walked in, they probably would have argued for a long time.

Although it was strange that such a beautiful girl like her would feel inferior, the sales assistant still did her best to introduce the styles of underwear to her.

"Miss, take a look. These are some of our best-selling styles."

When asked by the sales assistant, Jia Yezi subconsciously looked at Takuya Hase beside her.

"Takuya, which one do you think is better...? I'm afraid I won't choose the right one..."

Takuya Hase looked embarrassed upon hearing this; how would a grown man like him know what style of underwear was appropriate...?

Just as Hase Takuya was at a loss for what to do, the sales assistant quietly walked up to him.

"Sir, it's clear that this young lady is somewhat insecure and also quite dependent on you. My advice is that you should make the decision."

Upon hearing this, Takuya Hase shook his head and looked at Kayoko across from him, speaking softly.

"Jia Yezi, you need to learn to be bolder. The world isn't as dangerous as you think. People can make mistakes too. Don't be afraid. Do what you like."

Listening to Takuya Hase's encouragement, Kayoko looked at him with sparkling eyes for a while, and under his encouraging gaze, she bit her lip and picked out a pink bra.

Seeing the timid look in her eyes, the sales assistant quickly put down the other lingerie and spoke softly.

"Since it's this one, miss, please try it on. If it doesn't fit, I can exchange it, no problem."

Jia Yezi nodded upon hearing this, picked up the underwear, glanced at Hase Takuya, and then went into the dressing room.

While waiting for Jia Yezi to change her clothes, Hase Takuya went to the edge of the room, since it was easy for a boy to cause misunderstandings if he stood there alone.

The sales assistant stood at the door of the fitting room, ready to respond to Jia Yezi's call at any time. Recalling her timid and pitiful appearance just now, the sales assistant couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted.

"Um... sales assistant, are you... there...?"

"I'm here."

Amidst the soft calls, the sales assistant pondered for a moment before lifting the curtain and going inside.

Looking at Jia Yezi, whose skin was unusually fair and smooth, clutching her chest, the sales assistant spoke softly.

"Is something the problem? Is it ill-fitting or uncomfortable?"

Listening to the sales assistant's patient questions, Jia Yezi shook her head with a rosy face.

"No, that's not it..."

"That is..."

"I..."

After holding it in for a while, Jia Yezi timidly glanced at the sales assistant and spoke softly.

"Could you... could you secretly give me one, something pretty...?"

The sales assistant was taken aback for a moment, then a knowing smile appeared on her face.

"Of course, wait for me!"

A few minutes later, Jia Yezi, with a rosy complexion, walked out of the clothing store carrying a bag of underwear.

The sales assistant watched as Kayo walked to Takuya Hase's right, teasing the black cat on his shoulder alongside him.

Although she was a little curious about the relationship between the three of them, the sales assistant felt that she had done a really good job today, remembering the joy in Jia Yezi's eyes when she received the black lingerie set and the gratitude in her eyes as she looked at her.

As evening fell, the sales assistants, having finished their day's work, headed home after closing up shop.

However, by the time she finished shopping at the supermarket and returned home, it was already dark.

Looking at the deep alleyway she would definitely pass through on her way to her rented apartment, the saleswoman felt a pang of unease.

Although paranormal cleansing is carried out regularly in the city, it is impossible to completely eliminate sudden incidents.

Despite her fear, the saleswoman pretended to be fearless and sang a folk song as she walked home, all in order to get home.

However, what you think is not what you fear. Halfway there, the sales assistant suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, the sales assistant ran home in a panic.

Behind her, a male demon with a livid face and violent eyes was silently grinning at him.

Just as it was about to grab the lone woman, a large amount of black hair suddenly surged out from the surrounding darkness, dragging it into the depths of darkness in its desperate struggle.

Finally, after climbing to the bottom of the building, the sales assistant dared to look back with the help of the light.

Looking at the empty street, which not only lacked any eeriness but even gave people a sense of comfort, the sales assistant suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Seriously, Kumiko, why are you scaring yourself like this..."
