I push the kid!

He originally thought that Ogura Yuki would come to the store, but in fact he never came once.

What happened? He didn't ask, and Ogura Tomoki didn't tell him on the phone.

From Monday to Friday, she only made one phone call on Monday morning, at around six o'clock.

When the phone rang, she asked if Taku Makimura had woken up. Taku Makimura had just gotten up two minutes ago.

She said that since you spent some time with me yesterday, you can take the whole day off today, but Taku Makimura refused.

He felt that if he continued like this, it would be no different from being kept by someone. Ogura Tomoki didn't force him and said, "Go if you want to."

Later she didn't call again, as if she had never been to Tokyo and was still in Karuizawa. She didn't come to Starbucks either.

Taku Makimura never looked for her. Every day after work and dinner, he would go to the library.

Hoshino Ai still likes to contact him through LINE. Every now and then, she will take a photo of a dinner she made and send it to Makimura Taku.

Even though he had never tasted it, just by looking at the photos, Taku Makimura could feel from the bottom of his heart that her cooking skills were getting better day by day, and he would sometimes praise her.

At this time, Hoshino Ai will blush, but Makimura Taku doesn't know this.

On Saturday night, B Komachi, as an underground idol group, finally had their second performance.

Although Ritsuko Ninomiya's leg injury only healed for two or three days, dancing was no problem at all.

After applying for the opportunity to participate in the event, Hoshino Ai was the first to contact Makimura Taku and invite him to watch the performance in the evening.

Mai Watanabe sent him a private message on Twitter: "There will definitely be more than just a few of you in the audience this time!"

Taku Makimura remembered that they had been promoting the event offline and on social platforms for several days, so there really shouldn't be no one left this time.

"One day, I want to fill this place up!" Mai Watanabe posted a photo of the stage on Twitter.

Hoshino Ai replied to her below: "There are no seats at all!"

It's rare that Taku Makimura gave a thumbs up.

Late in the evening on the day of the performance, Makimura Taku took a car to Ochanomizu alone.

He had dinner at the family restaurant, and when he left the restaurant, the sky outside was still pale and yellow.

It was still early for the performance, so he turned and walked into a beverage shop and asked the waiter for a cup of lemon tea.

Then I found a seat near the door and sat down, listening to music while watching the sunset.

At around six o'clock, the sun almost disappeared, and the hazy shadow of the moon appeared in the sky.

The jets left two white air trails in the distance;

The flock of birds flew out from the back of the building, flew across the faded sunset, and flew behind the other side of the building, disappearing for a long time.

Makimura Taku looked at the time and decided not to stay any longer. Just as he was about to stand up, someone came in from outside the door.

He was sitting near the window at the store door and saw the other person at once. The man turned around and was obviously heading straight towards him.

The man sat down in the empty seat in front of Taku Makimura.

"You didn't even tell me about the performance." Ogura Tomoki said angrily.

"I'm afraid you're not interested in this."

"Who said I'm not interested. You? Or Xiao Ai? No one said anything."

"No one said..."

"If Xiao Ai hadn't told me, I would have missed it."

"When did you become the number one fan?"

“From the beginning.”

"That's pretty awesome."

"Aren't you the same?" She asked in a questioning tone, "I can see you every time. Are you the leader of B Komachi's fan club?"

"Not completely." Makimura Taku thought for a moment and answered seriously.

"Not completely?" Ogura Yuki was shocked. "How dare you admit it?"

"No one else thinks so anyway."

"Okay, okay, you are amazing, Makimura."

"Excellent."

She stared at me.

She put on better makeup today than ever before. Her eyes were especially beautiful, with long black eyelashes and a pink nose.

Yesterday's short-sleeved shirt was replaced with a white shirt with a red bow at the collar, and light blue loose-leg denim hot pants underneath.

She was wearing a pair of Roman sandals on her feet, with thin straps wrapped around her knees a few centimeters below her knees, making her look both innocent and sexy.

After she looked at Taku Makimura, her eyes fell on the finished lemon tea. Taku Makimura didn't ask any questions and asked the waiter to make another cup and send it to her.

"You still understand me." Ogura Tomoki said with a smile.

Makimura Taku replied: "After all, you have always taken care of me, so it's my duty."

"that is it?"

"What else?"

The waiter brought the lemon tea over, she took it with both hands and stuck the straw in:

"I say, Mucun, if there is another job for you, would you go?"

"Is it yours too?"

She was stunned for a moment, and the drink that was halfway through the straw flowed back out. Makimura Taku's hand was pressed on the table. She bit the straw, revealing her eyes that were slightly covered by her bangs.

"What if not?"

“It depends on what the job is.”

"What if it is?" she asked.

Makimura Taku rested his chin on his hand and said, "I think I will go. The salary is high and I can take time off frequently to slack off. Where can I find such a good job?"

"You said that to the store manager?"

"Kidding."

"What if we go to Karuizawa?"

“It’s better to stay in Tokyo.”

"I knew it." She retracted her body and stared at Makimura Taku again, drinking sips of lemon tea, which had no taste at all.

Taku Makimura supported his head and sometimes looked out the window. The two white airplane trails were about to collapse, but the clouds were still as thick as cotton.

The remaining twilight was completely gone. When did the sky turn dark? He wondered, this was something he couldn't figure out.

After Ogura Tomoki finished his drink, the two of them walked out of the store together.

This time the performance started at 8 o'clock. They arrived at the live house and Mai Watanabe greeted them on the first floor.

"Xiao Ai is just getting ready to put on makeup!" Mai Watanabe answered when Taku Makimura asked.

In the elevator, Ogura Yuki secretly looked into Makimura Taku's eyes, and she interrupted, "You haven't put on makeup yet? I can help you."

Mai Watanabe looked at her. The two of them got to know each other last weekend and became Twitter friends.

"Really?" After saying that, Mai Watanabe changed her tone again, "But Xiao Ai said she wanted to do her own makeup, so Ritsuko might need help from others."

“It’s all right,” she said.

The elevator door dinged open, and the three of them walked along the corridor to the dressing room and backstage.

Mai Watanabe knocked on the door, pushed it open, and Hoshino Ai was sitting in the most conspicuous position.

She turned her face to the side, her long hair tied into a ponytail swayed behind her, and a bright red bow popped out of her head like a flower.

She changed into a stage costume, which actually didn't look like a stage costume. It looked more like a maid outfit.

She wore a black puff-sleeved blouse inside and a white lace skirt outside.

There is a bow at the collar and behind the waist, and the feet are covered with pure white socks inside the Mary Jane shoes.

She was so cute that just sitting there, Makimura Taku's breath was stagnant for a moment. She was so cute...

"Xiao Ai!" Mai Watanabe trotted over, "They are here."

Sanae Takamine was helping Ritsuko Ninomiya tie her hair further inside. When they heard the noise near the door, they both turned their heads.

Hoshino Ai had a blank expression on her face until Makimura Taku stood not far away. She stared at him with her gentle eyes and smiled:

"Welcome to our B Komachi's performance."

Love, Makimura Taku almost said it, and he raised his hand to indicate awkwardly.

It was the first time that he felt so shy when someone looked at him. Actually, he wasn't really shy, it was just that it was difficult for him to look back with his normal eyes.

Today, Hoshino Ai seems to have a unique charm, from her soft purple long hair, to her slender and soft waist, to her slightly padded petite feet.

There was not a single disappointing place, he thought it was truly beautiful.

"Xiao Ai!" Tomoki Ogura walked past Taku Makimura.

Hoshino Ai raised her hand: "Youxi!"

The two clapped their hands lightly, and Makimura Taku sat down in the empty seat next to him. Ogura Yuki looked into Hoshino Ai's eyes and said, "What's wrong with you today?"

Hoshino Ai touched the ends of her drooping hair and asked in confusion, "Is there a problem?"

"The makeup has improved a lot! The colors of the eyeshadow and blush are so suitable."

"Really?" She smiled. "In addition to practicing dance these days, I also studied makeup. I feel that my previous makeup was so bad."

"That's not true," said Mai Watanabe. "I like it no matter what time it is."

"You're Watanabe, so of course you'd say that."

"What? I have a very sharp eye~" She showed an expression like a little devil.

Hoshino Ai smiled, and Ogura Tomoki lowered his head with a bit of regret: "I was thinking about putting on your makeup myself, but it seems that there is no such opportunity."

Hoshino Ai looked at her from her position: "Do you want to help me with my makeup?"
