The current aesthetic style is mainly minimalist. Because Aoi is slender and her appearance is average, but her legs are actually quite long. At 1.8 meters tall, she is considered particularly tall among Japanese men. She wears a simple black crew neck short-sleeved shirt with cropped pants, exposing her ankles. Her "advantage" of not going out for a long time is also obvious, and any exposed part is very fair.

This outfit has two unique features: the back of the short-sleeved t-shirt has a blue and white striped design, and a black wristwatch is added to the left wrist, making the overall look less monotonous.

"A hat, do you want to wear it?" Hattie handed him a baseball cap from behind.

"No, there's no need." Aoi Natsuki waved his hand awkwardly. Being scrutinized by a group of girlfriends was a rather peculiar feeling, and everyone had their own opinions. The emotional fluctuations brought by praise were far stronger than those of disgust and contempt.

"Is it necessary for so many people to come? Ryuzakura, did you know about this too?" Aoi Natsuki asked.

Wearing a light purple lace dress, Long Ying took a sip of tea, then nodded and said, "It was Xingjian's request. As good friends, we will definitely do our best to help. It's just a pity that something happened at the martial arts gym a few days ago and I didn't get to see Xingjian. It's a bit of a shame."

Based on everyone's current understanding of age, Long Ying is already twenty-two years old this year, a year older than Xing Jian. Therefore, as the oldest and most authoritative person in the entire space, as soon as she spoke, the girls around her immediately nodded and echoed her.

"Here, this is for you." Yui walked up and handed over a thermos. Aoi Natsuki looked down, took it in a daze, and found it quite heavy. Yui then said, "This is tea I specially brewed. Take it with you on the way."

“Aoi is going on a date, not a spring outing. Isn’t it a bit strange for her to bring a thermos?” said Mito Takahashi.

"If it's weird... let's add a crossbody bag!" Hedy, as if possessed, took out a small crossbody bag from somewhere and put it on Aoi Natsuki. The overall look seemed pretty good.

"In that case, should we bring a little more stuff?" Sakurajima said with a faint smile, her fingers interlaced and her chin supported.

"That makes sense. I'll take my things with me then."

"I also want!"

My crossbody bag, which was originally quite flat, became completely full after being stuffed with all sorts of little things from my girlfriends. Now it really felt like I was going on a spring outing.

However, it had been a while since they had all gotten together, and Aoi Natsuki felt a little nostalgic. She didn't say much and just let them do what they wanted this time.

So what if it seems a little strange? He's currently being advised by seven girlfriends to go on a date with another girl. With such a surreal reality happening, what else can it be?

……

"Well then, I'm heading out."

Be careful on the road!

"Come on!"

As Natsuki Aoi waved his hand, he watched his girlfriends gradually close the front door. Hmm... it still felt a little awkward.

Never mind, since he's already made up his mind, he'll just proceed with the plan. He doesn't want to see a final battle between the gods. As a dating sim, it should end with romance, shouldn't it?

Thinking to himself, he turned and walked towards the garden, pushing the familiar little electric scooter out of the iron gate. This little electric scooter was originally bought by Yusuke, who was possessed by Hoshimi. After Hoshimi left, he inherited the little electric scooter. He didn't need a car at the moment, and he wouldn't need it during his university years. He would get his driver's license in the first six months of his junior year internship and then buy a car, which would be more convenient.

He put on his helmet, rode his electric scooter, and looked up at the hill. He twisted the throttle, and the scooter slowly carried him uphill.

The weather is just right today, and the occasional breeze is even refreshing. Since Kayano Karin is currently unable to use electronic communication devices (as they would explode if used), the appointment time is set in advance. As a god, she probably doesn't have any urgent matters to deal with.

He drove for about twenty minutes and saw Kayano waiting in front of a bus stop in the distance.

Aoi Natsuki squinted, unable to see clearly, then pressed down her helmet, and then she could see Kayano's appearance clearly, and was immediately a little surprised.

Kayano, who usually prefers a dark style, changed her usual look today, coming out wearing only a spaghetti strap dress and orange sandals, with her long hair flowing. Oh, no wonder she's the most beautiful girl in the Computer Science department; now he really understands why.

Kayano's striking appearance attracted the attention of two men nearby. Aoi Natsuki rode up on her bicycle, and it could be faintly heard that they were asking for her contact information.

He slammed on the brakes in front of Kayano, and Kayano Karin, whose expression had been silent until she saw Aoi Natsuki, finally reacted and said, "You're late, Aoi."

Having said that, he ignored the two people trying to chat him up and walked towards Aoi Natsuki.

"Sorry, it's for some personal reasons." Aoi Natsuki didn't deny it. She didn't expect that Kayano could still know the exact time even without a cell phone. Even though most of his divine power had been stripped away, he seemed to have retained some special little abilities, which he occasionally showed off. It was quite interesting, to be honest.

Kayano Karin stepped down the stone steps, glanced at the back seat of the small electric scooter, thought for a moment, and then sat directly on the back seat of the scooter.

It's common knowledge that electric scooters aren't supposed to carry passengers on the back, but in an area on the outskirts of Tokyo like this... well, whatever.

Ignoring the surprised and suspicious looks the two boys gave him, Aoi Natsuki did feel a sudden surge of competitive spirit, but after thinking about it, he dismissed it as childish and pushed it aside. He twisted the accelerator and drove Kayano forward.

"Were those two trying to chat you up?" Natsuki Aoi started the conversation.

Kayano raised his head, remained silent for two seconds, and said, "It seems... so."

"Didn't you hear what they were saying?"

"No, they're just two insignificant humans. Don't worry about them," Kayano said succinctly.

You're too kind... To be able to completely ignore it is quite impressive.

"However, if you continue to stay here, remember to respond when someone talks to you. As a girl, you should prioritize your own safety. If the other person is a man, you need to be more careful with what he says," Natsuki Aoi reminded her.

Is this necessary?

"Of course, if you want to be an ordinary person, you need to learn more about women's health and ask men for help when you need it. Women are physically weaker and there are many things they can't do on their own. Your personality of ignoring people will cause you a lot of trouble in the future," said Aoi Natsuki.

"I see, I understand."

"Well, men and women need to help each other to achieve a good and harmonious relationship, but they can't be too intimate, otherwise it will cause misunderstandings. Um... you'll have to learn about this slowly. Humans are a very complex species."

"Oh..." Kayano responded from the back seat. As the electric scooter went over a small speed bump, it lost its balance and Kayano almost fell off. When she looked up at Aoi Natsuki, a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.

Aoi Natsuki stopped the car to check on her. Seeing her like this, and considering the distance to the restaurant they had booked, he sighed and said, "If you can't keep your balance, you can ask me if you can hold onto my clothes so you won't fall."

"Um...can I hold onto your clothes, Aoi?"

"can."

Aoi Natsuki nodded, and the two continued on their way. This time, Kayano tugged at Aoi's sleeve. This was the first time she had had close contact with a male human. For over a year, she had only interacted with other club members in the initial clubroom. She didn't attend any classes, yet her grades were astonishingly high. This led to her mentors' catchphrase becoming, "If you all had Kayano's grades, I wouldn't say a word to you even if you missed classes every day!" After that, she only posted some game programming videos and club video conferences online, until one day, her divine power suddenly began to malfunction.

I woke up early and just tapped my phone lightly, bang! My phone exploded. I got up and just turned on my computer, bang! My computer exploded. I went to watch TV, bang! My computer exploded too.

She stared blankly at the plastic wreckage of the house for a long time. After experiencing the same events several times in the following days, she finally disconnected from the internet and completely locked herself in another dimension, focusing on playing offline console games.

All my experiences combined, this is truly the first time I've ever been so close to a male human.

It doesn't resemble data, but rather a real, flesh-and-blood individual.

Kayano rubbed the rough fabric of his clothes with his hands. Aoi Natsuki felt her clothes being pulled very tightly. To prevent an awkward silence between them, she took the initiative to start a conversation, saying, "This dress was chosen for me by Hattie. You saw it in the living room last time."

"Hmm, you seem more energetic than before. Before, you were a bit lethargic... Haha, I guess I'm just making a fuss over nothing."

"Yeah, you're a homebody too, hahaha. So what's with this outfit? Did you put it together yourself?"

"No, it was my senior who helped me. He said it was something like, 'Aoi, the style you like,'" Kayano said.

“What do you mean by ‘the style I like’…” Natsuki Aoi squinted, facing the wind as she walked through another street. “The plan this time is to make your heart flutter, what does it have to do with whether I like it or not?”

"My senior also mentioned this, saying that when it comes to liking someone, a harmonious state of liking can only be achieved when the other person also sincerely reciprocates. So, not only me, but Aoi, you also have to get into character!"

Aoi Natsuki was shocked.

It has to be said that he was miscalculated again.

He even began to doubt whether Hoshimi had truly lost her telepathic abilities. Despite being a god who had hidden her heart, she always spoke eloquently about love. How could there be such a vast difference between two gods?

He drove Maoye across a pedestrian bridge and finally arrived at the restaurant where he had made a reservation.

Standing at the entrance, especially seeing the words "Under the Black Whale Banner" on it, he roughly guessed what it was all about. He glanced at the upscale atmosphere inside the glass window. Although it was Japanese food, it really gave people the feeling that ordinary people couldn't afford it.

"Do you need parking?" the male greeter at the entrance asked politely as he stepped forward.

Aoi Natsuki glanced at him, then at the luxury cars that kept passing by, and felt that her little electric scooter looked completely out of place.

Furthermore, why would such a high-end Japanese restaurant be located in such a remote place? Could it really be Sakurajima...?

"Thank you for your help." Aoi Natsuki smiled in agreement, winked at Kayano, and the two got out of the car one after the other. Suddenly remembering something, Aoi Natsuki quickly said, "We have a reservation, do you need to check it?"

"No need. You must be Mr. Aoi. You've booked the entire Japanese restaurant for the day, so there's no need to verify anything," the male greeter said politely.

Upon hearing this, Aoi Natsuki's doubts deepened, and she couldn't help but ask, "Okay, I have another question I'm very curious about. Why would you open such a high-end Japanese restaurant in this place? Won't you lose money?"

"Well, I'm not too sure about that. I just remember that this Japanese restaurant suddenly started construction more than a year ago, supposedly as part of the young lady's arrangements."

Sure enough, it really was made by Sakurajima.

This kind of behavior is also very much something she would do.

Out of the corner of his eye, Natsuki Aoi noticed that many men and women dressed in suits who had come to visit were being stopped by other greeters about ten meters away. He recalled that his journey to the store entrance by bicycle seemed unusually smooth.

"Then, please come in, both of you," said the welcoming guest, bowing and stepping aside.

Aoi Natsuki was a little confused. At this moment, Kayano came up and nudged him in the waist with her elbow, indicating that she was also a little hungry. Seeing this, Aoi Natsuki had no choice but to take Kayano into the Japanese restaurant first.

It was supposed to be a simple date, but now it suddenly feels so formal. Maybe... I've fallen into a trap?

Extra Chapter 27. Why don't you choose me?

Aoi Natsuki had never been to such an upscale Japanese restaurant before, but the waiter who led the way was very helpful and resolved many awkward and unforeseen issues for him. The two quickly sat down, and when Aoi Natsuki looked up, he saw a large warship that was 1.5 meters long. It wasn't the kind you could hold in your hand, but a real warship built with wooden craftsmanship. It was covered with a layer of paper and dry ice, which slowly emitted white steam. After staring at it for a few seconds, he ordered a suitable set meal based on the waiter's recommendation.

Since losing her divine powers, Kayano's physique has become more and more like a human's, and she gets hungry just like everyone else. Watching the chef in front of her skillfully use a spatula to fry the beef tongue, she couldn't help but swallow.

Aoi Natsuki set off on an empty stomach, but the aroma made her forget what she had been thinking and focus her attention on the rice.

The soup, hmm... has a very appetizing taste.

Grilled beef tongue with the secret sauce also tastes great.

Sea urchin with squid...

Flounder skirt and sashimi...

Slow-cooked Hokkaido oysters...

……

Throughout the meal, the two didn't communicate much and were simply focused on eating. When the dessert was served, Aoi Natsuki heard a surprised sound. Turning around, she saw Kayano happily holding a small bowl, gently tapping the ice shell floating on the dessert with a small wooden spoon in her right hand. After breaking it, the cream inside spread out.

When Aoi Natsuki first saw Kayano, he was stunned to see her eating dessert with gusto. After several bites, she didn't seem to get chilled and continued to enjoy her meal. After Kayano finished her last bite, he thought for a moment and then handed her the dessert he was holding.

Kayano Karin, with an unmelted ice cream in her mouth, stared intently at Aoi Natsuki.

"Eat up," Natsuki Aoi said softly.

After agreeing, Kayano took the small bowl with both hands and continued eating. This time, she ate much slower. Aoi Natsuki wasn't in a hurry and waited for her to finish. Compared to the satisfaction brought by the dessert, the novelty of a god's performance was obviously more attractive.

as well as……

"Wow, that's amazing! You ate two bowls of ice cream and your head isn't even cold at all?"

"Why is it ice-cold?" Kayano asked rhetorically.

“Uh…” Aoi Natsuki couldn’t find a reply. It was still the same thing: she always had some inexplicable little abilities that would make him feel a sense of wonder.

Eating large chunks of ice without freezing your head is, in a sense, quite impressive.

"You seem to be enjoying your meal. Do you like desserts?" Natsuki Aoi asked.
