My deskmate is actually my yandere reader.

Since it was a spur-of-the-moment decision and they didn't have any particular place they wanted to go, they just wandered around.

Finally, Izumi Kurose and Chire Shiraishi took the train to Ginza.

The reason I came here is because I wanted to eat dessert.

Izumi Kurose heard that there is a fruit shop called Senbikiya, which is the best fruit shop in Japan, and the desserts there are also very delicious.

Therefore, he wanted to bring Shiraishi Chiren to try it, since she really liked sweets.

Upon entering Senbikiya, the two were led to the inner area by a staff member and sat down.

After they sat down, the waiter presented the menu with both hands and said, "Hello, this is the menu, please take a look."

"Hmm, a strawberry gradient parfait, please." Shiraishi Chiren reached out and took the order, quickly deciding on her choice.

"Ah... I'll have the cantaloupe one."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

The shop assistant smiled and nodded, bowed politely, and turned to leave.

Kurose Izumi looked around and remarked, "The fruit here is really expensive, it lives up to its reputation."

I thought that no matter how expensive Senbikiya fruit was, it would only be about twice as expensive as regular fruit.

But when he walked in and saw the numbers on the shelves, he realized he was wrong, terribly wrong.

A single grape here costs 2,000 yen, a box of six strawberries costs 12,000 yen, and a melon costs 100,000 yen!

Shiraishi Chiren rested her hand on her flawless profile and explained softly, "This fruit shop has been open for over a hundred years, and they carefully select every type of fruit, which is why it's so expensive."

"Well, I'll look forward to it then. If it's delicious, we can buy some more fruit on our way back."

"I'll listen to you, Izumi."

After chatting for a while, the parfait they ordered was served.

Strawberry Gradient Parfait, as the name suggests, has a layer of strawberry puree at the bottom and pink ice cream on top.

When it reaches the top of the cup, four halved strawberries are placed around the edges, and a spiral of ice cream is squeezed into the center.

The most stunning part wasn't this, but the strawberries blooming like flowers on top of the ice cream!

They were garnished on the ice cream, and a sprig of vanilla was placed on top.

Hami melon parfait, is just like that, exquisitely beautiful.

"This leaves me a bit at a loss..."

Kurose Izumi picked up a spoon, looked at the cantaloupe parfait in front of her, and didn't know where to start eating it.

The cantaloupe is split open in four directions; it looks like the other parts would fall apart if you moved it even slightly.

"It won't collapse."

After saying that, Shiraishi Chiren scooped up a small spoonful and fed it to her.

As she said, the pile of strawberries did not collapse.

They are still firmly embedded in the ice cream.

Seeing this, Izumi Kurose also took a sip and experienced what silky smoothness truly meant.

The ice cream melts in your mouth, with a perfect sweetness that lingers pleasantly.

"Hmm...it's quite delicious."

He couldn't help but nod in admiration, and then used his fork to take a piece of cantaloupe.

Crunch—If I had to describe it, I would only say: crisp and refreshing, juicy and delightful!

"You get what you pay for..."

Kurose Izumi suddenly remembered the parfait she had eaten at the station before, and the two were incomparable.

Whether it's fruit or cream, Senbikiya wins hands down!

So he finished the glass of parfait in no time.

For the rest of the time, he just stared blankly as Shiraishi Chiren ate in small bites.

"Quan, would you like to try mine?"

Noticing Kurose Izumi's gaze, Shiraishi Chiren looked up and scooped out a piece of ice cream with a strawberry on top.

"No, no, no! You eat it, I can't eat anymore!" Kurose Izumi quickly waved her hand.

"Have some."

Shiraishi Chiren persistently placed the spoon near Kurose Izumi's lips, as if she wouldn't take it back until he ate it.

Helpless, Izumi Kurose could only obediently open her mouth and eat the spoonful of parfait that had melted a bit because of the long delay.

The strawberries have just the right balance of sweet and sour, and when eaten with ice cream... well, it's actually quite delicious.

"Are you satisfied now?"

"Hmm, I'm satisfied."

Shiraishi Chiren smiled and nodded, took the spoon back, scooped up a mouthful, and ate it herself.

Seeing this, Kurose Izumi suddenly realized something and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

Isn't this just indirect kissing?!

Well, although they have kissed countless times so far, they are still a little shy about such a natural and unguarded act.

Besides, every action she takes with Shiraishi Chire is full of meaning.

It doesn't become commonplace just because it has been done before.

After taking a few bites, Shiraishi Chiren looked up casually and saw that Kurose Izumi's face was slightly flushed.

In that instant, she understood something, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

"What's wrong? Your face is a little red."

"No, it's okay, go ahead and eat."

Kurose Izumi shook her head, but she looked like she was really serious!

"Hmph, is Izumi shy? She's so innocent about indirect kissing."

Shiraishi Chiren chuckled softly, then buried her head in her food and ate in small bites, looking rather adorable and innocent.

This appearance is a stark contrast to the mischievous posture he displayed in bed.

Wait, why did I suddenly think about things in bed?!

Now, Kurose Izumi's face turned even redder.

After all, the delicate and soft touch, the fragrant breath, the face so close, the hands clasped together...

All of this would inevitably stir up a pure-hearted boy in the throes of puberty!

"Are you really okay? Your face is even redder."

"It's alright, it's alright. By the way, haven't you finished eating? Let's go explore other places."

"okay."

Urged on by Izumi Kurose, this leisurely dessert time came to an end.

170. Citrus aroma

After leaving the Senbiku-ya, the two wandered around again.

After browsing for a while, they went into a handicraft shop, which had all kinds of materials, including not only scarves and towels, but also handmade dolls and so on.

The reason I came here was because Shiraishi Chire said she wanted to knit a scarf.

It's almost October now, and the weather will start to cool down after mid-October, so she wants to practice in advance.

Hello, what kind of yarn is suitable for knitting a scarf?

Chiharu Shiraishi asked the shop assistant, as this was her first time buying yarn to knit a scarf for someone.

"I recommend Hamanaka hemp yarn. It's a soft material that's easy on the hands when weaving."

With a pleasant smile, the shop assistant led the two to one side of the store and introduced the various colored yarns displayed on the shelves.

Looking at the colorful yarn, Shiraishi Chiren asked, "Izumi, what color do you want?"

"Hmm... black would be fine, right? I like white, but it gets dirty too easily."

Shiraishi Chiren nodded and said to the shop assistant, "Okay, then please give me twenty bundles of the black ones."

"Okay, please wait a moment, we'll pack it right away."

As the shop assistant spoke, he took a brown leather bag from the counter and put twenty-one bundles of black yarn into it.

"I'm sending an extra bundle as a gift to the loving couple."

These were the shop assistant's exact words, and Izumi Kurose didn't react much to them; she was already used to it.

Along the way, countless shops praised their loving relationship and their perfect match!

After paying and walking out of the craft store, the shopping trip came to an end.

As the sun began to glow red in the sky, the two set off towards Ginza Station and boarded the train bound for Chiyoda.

"I really enjoyed shopping today."

"Yes, that's right."

In the back row, the two nestled together, savoring the tenderness that belonged only to each other.

The tram traveled on the tracks, swaying slightly from time to time.

When the tram arrived at the station, they bought dinner ingredients at a supermarket in Jimbocho and then went home.

The evenings are mostly spent cooking, taking showers, and being eaten.
