In this crossover anime, Yoshikage Kira longs for a peaceful life.

Yoshikage Kira said frankly:

"I don't have a sewing machine."

"It's ok!"

Kitagawa Kaimu, looking as if she had expected this, smiled and said:

“The school has a crafts department, and they have several sewing machines! I’ve visited a few times before under the guise of a tour. I’ll try to talk to them and see if I can use them for free.”

Kira Yoshikage looked at her with slight surprise. It was clear that Kitagawa Umimu had put in a lot of effort to make the cosplay outfit; she had even considered where to find a free sewing machine. So—

"Then why don't you do it yourself?" Yoshikage Kira asked the fatal question.

Kitagawa Kaimu's smile faltered, and she said awkwardly:

"Actually, I did try to do it myself, but..."

"but?"

"nothing!"

Kitagawa Kaimu blushed and turned her head away, changing the subject:

"Instead of this, let's hurry up and buy some fabric!"

She did try it, but the results were... well, to put it with high emotional intelligence, barely acceptable; to put it with low emotional intelligence, not even a dog would wear it.

"No problem, just wait until I finish drawing it."

Kira Yoshikage withdrew his gaze; he was fine with anything.

Anyway, once the clothes are finished, I can lend him my hands.

It's not that I'm doing anything strange.

That makes sense.

Bonus chapter

I'll be adding extra chapters tonight, either at 3 or 5 pm, but you don't have to wait.

Since it will likely be posted in the early morning, unless you're someone who lives in the underworld, there's no need to wait.

I'd like to ask for some data while I'm at it. Is it too much to ask for more data in an extra chapter?

There should be an extra update next week, but it depends on how many chapters there will be.

By the way, the censorship process for Hedgehog Cat is ridiculously absurd.

All chapters featuring Hiratsuka Shizuka must be reviewed.

Chapter 36 Kitagawa Kaimu was very unhappy.

Daejeon-gu, Usagiyama Shopping Street.

As a global metropolis, Tokyo boasts numerous large shopping streets, such as the most famous bustling districts like Ginza, Shibuya, Ikebukuro, Shinjuku, and Asakusa.

Compared to these bustling commercial centers, Rabbit Hill Shopping Street has no competitive advantage.

The difference is significant, both in terms of the size of the shopping street and the brand awareness and quantity.

The reason Kitagawa Kaimu chose Usagiyama Shopping Street was because it was very close to where Kira Yoshikage lived.

Inside a clothing store, Kitagawa Kaimu stroked the texture of each fabric, her eyes lighting up:

"Hey, Kira-kun, how about this one?"

Yoshikage Kira reached out and touched it; the fabric felt like a young girl's skin, soft and smooth.

"pretty good."

Kira Yoshikage hesitated for two seconds, then glanced at another piece of purplish-black fabric:

Both of these are fine.

Kitagawa Kaimu felt it with her hands and asked in confusion:

Is there any difference?

"The silk fabric you're looking at has a smooth and soft feel. It's usually used for evening gowns or stage costumes, and it can create a glamorous and dazzling visual effect under flashing lights."

"This one is a thicker woolen fabric. Although it is equally soft, it is thicker and heavier, and it is easier to create a stable shape. It is suitable for making princess-style dresses."

Kitagawa Kaimu hesitated for a moment:

"Isn't this one better?"

Although her attribute is a pom-pom, Shizuku is a genuine young lady from a wealthy family, and her clothes are princess-style dresses. According to Yoshikage Kira, the fabric he chose was clearly more suitable.

Yoshikage Kira gently shook his head:

"That's true in theory, but when it comes to clothing, comfort should be the primary consideration."

"Huh?" Kitagawa Kaimu tilted her head in confusion.

Yoshikage Kira explained:

"Clothing made from this fabric might be heavier than you imagine, and it's not very breathable, plus summer is just a few months away..."

Yoshikage Kira paused for a moment, and Kaimu Kitagawa understood.

In summer, it's definitely better to wear light clothing. Wearing too many thick clothes will not only be uncomfortable, but also make you more susceptible to heatstroke.

Even after clearly understanding the pros and cons, the girl still did not hesitate:

"Let's go with this one!"

To better recreate Shizuku, the risk of heatstroke is nothing!

As Kitagawa Kaimu paid at the counter and left the clothing store with the fabric she had bought, she remarked with emotion:

"It seems like Kira-kun knows everything~"

Yoshikage Kira calmly replied:

"Because I had experience working in a clothing store before, I have some knowledge about the types and selection of fabrics."

"I see."

Kitagawa Kaimu nodded thoughtfully and asked softly:

"Working must be tough, right?"

"I'm used to it."

Kira Yoshikage's tone was incredibly calm, but Kitagawa Kaimu felt a pang of heartache listening to it.

She heard some of Kira Yoshikage's story from Miura Yumiko, and it was precisely because of this understanding that she felt even more heartbroken for Kira Yoshikage's plight.

"Some people are already doing their best just to stay alive."

Kitagawa Kaimu inexplicably thought of a famous quote circulating online and silently pondered it in his heart.

Although her family wasn't particularly wealthy, they at least didn't have to worry about tuition fees, and she received 20,000 yen in pocket money every month, so she had enough money to support her hobbies.

The girl pursed her lips slightly, and as she looked down, her eyes lit up when she caught sight of a flower shop by the roadside.

Kitagawa Umi affectionately clung to Kira Yoshikage's arm, winked at him who was looking at her with some confusion, and said in a coquettish tone:

"Kira-kun, can you come with me to buy some flowers?"

Yoshikage Kira glanced at the flower shop with the 'Florist Princess' sign on the street and thought for a moment:

"You just need to pay."

"Eh~ Kira-kun is so clueless about romance!"

Kitagawa Kaimu rolled her eyes and muttered something under her breath.

Although the girl complained, her body betrayed her and pulled Yoshikage Kira into the flower shop.

The florist, with her radiant blonde hair, pink apron, and slender figure, smiled and said:

"Welcome! What kind of flowers would you like to buy?"

Kitagawa Kaimu politely asked:

"Can we take a look first?"

The florist smiled and nodded.

"of course can."

Kitagawa Kaimu walked slowly to the flower stand, which was filled with different varieties of colorful flowers. The air was filled with the fragrance of the flowers, which made her feel happy.

Kitagawa Kaimu was immediately drawn to one of the flower pots and waved to Kira Yoshikage:

"Kira-kun, look at this! This is so beautiful!"

"Hmm~, the aroma doesn't seem very strong. Is it because of the variety?"

Kira Yoshikage walked to the girl's side, looking at the potted plant in front of him with a stem nearly a meter long and milky-white flowers blooming at the top:

"This should be tuberose."

"Tuberose?"

Kitagawa Kaimu repeated softly, thinking only that the name was beautiful.

The florist smiled and introduced:

"That's right, her name is tuberose."

"Just like its name suggests, this variety only blooms at night."

"The fragrance is not very noticeable during the day, but it gradually becomes stronger after the sun goes down."

Upon hearing this, Kitagawa Kaimu's eyes lit up, and he replied without hesitation:

"Then I'll take this one!"

"It's very expensive."

Yoshikage Kira offered a reminder.
