I push the kid!

Xiaoai, Makimura-kun, Ogura, and myself...

Her shoulders shrank. "I, I won't go either. I have other things to do at home. I'll go with Watanabe and the others."

"Is that so?" Ogura Tomoki put his fist on his lips, narrowed his eyes, and looked like he was thinking about what to say, "If you don't come, we will be missing half the people."

"Then let's not go." Before Makimura Taku could finish, Ogura Tomoki interrupted him, "Oh, it seems that only the three of us can go."

There was suddenly no movement around.

Mai Watanabe is still immersed in the sadness of missing the opportunity to travel together;

Ninomiya Ritsuko didn't know what she was sad about, since half of the people didn't go. But she still comforted Watanabe Mai like she was petting a puppy.

Sanae Takamine had words stuck in her throat.

She wanted to ask what kind of trip this was? Ogura Yuki must like Makimura-kun, right? If she went there too, wouldn't it be weird?

But when she thought that Xiao Ai was going too, she had more to say!

She looked at Makimura Taku suddenly. Makimura Taku did not disappoint her. He said, "I think we'll just forget about it today."

Hoshino Ai turned to him blankly: "Makino, you're not going either?"

"I……"

"Aren't you going?" asked Tomoki Ogura, poking Taku Makimura's waist with his finger.

Makimura Taku didn't answer immediately. He felt his throat was a little dry, but he had already drunk all the water when he sat with Hoshino Ai.

He thought for a moment and said, "Maybe when I go home..."

"You're definitely okay?"

“I’m actually quite busy.”

"Then the three of us?" asked Hoshino Ai.

"Ah?" Takamine Sanae made a sound that only she could hear.

Ogura Yuki paused for a moment, with an expression that showed she didn't expect Hoshino Ai to say that. She hesitated a little: "Then, just the three of us..."

Taku Makimura thought for a moment and didn't make any more excuses. He said, "Okay."

Tomoki Ogura could hardly hide her inner joy. Her exceptionally beautiful eyes kept flashing under the light in the dressing room and she blushed.

Takamine Sanae rested her elbows on the table, supporting her forehead, and many images flashed through her mind.

Hoshino Ai looked unconcerned and smiled at Makimura Taku, and that smile was just like usual.

She went to the dressing room to change her clothes. Tomoki Ogura said he would help her remove her makeup. Hoshino Ai did not refuse. Taku Makimura was waiting for them outside the dressing room.

Mai Watanabe and Ritsuko Ninomiya came out first and walked back.

As they left, the two waved goodbye to Taku Makimura, who nodded in acknowledgement.

Takamine Sanae came out after them. She turned her head to look at Makimura Taku, then looked away.

Taku Makimura said goodbye to her, and she responded and left.

In the dressing room, Hoshino Ai sat on a stool with a large oval mirror in front of her.

There were footsteps beside her, and Ogura Yuki came over with makeup remover and cotton pads, and she began to remove makeup for Hoshino Ai.

“……” Her fingers touched Hoshino Ai’s face and stopped.

Hoshino Ai looked at herself in the mirror and raised her face slightly: "What's wrong, Youxi?"

"Nothing." The makeup remover cotton pad stroked Hoshino Ai's right eye, and Ogura Tomoki slowly exhaled.

She whispered in a voice like a stream, "You are so beautiful, love."

"Really? No." Hoshino Ai smiled.

"it is true."

"Then I will take what you said as true." Hoshino Ai's smile was still gentle, "Thank you."

Ogura Tomoki also smiled, but that smile was complicated and bitter: "Makino must have said that to you, right?"

"Makimura?"

"Ah."

Hoshino Ai recalled for a few seconds: "Maybe there was, I can't remember clearly."

"Really?" asked Ogura Yuki.

"Yeah." Hoshino Ai said.

Ogura Yuki nodded. She tried to make her smile disappear more naturally, not too abrupt.

She thought, if Mucun had said that to her, she would definitely not forget it. She simply could not forget it.

After removing her makeup, Hoshino Ai went to wash her face with facial cleanser, while Ogura Tomoki went out first.

After leaving the dressing room, she closed the door gently. Makimura Taku turned to look at her. She smiled and said Xiaoai would be out soon.

Taku Makimura didn't answer this, but asked her where she wanted to go. Tomoki Ogura was stunned, and she said, "You decide."

Makimura Taku nodded and moved his body away from the wall. The two stood together, waiting for Hoshino Ai to come out of the room.

Hoshino Ai changed into her usual clothes, a gray sweatshirt that she used to wear often, and underneath it was not a skirt, but a pair of overalls.

She smiled at the two of them and said, "Let's go."

The three of them walked out of the building, with the night surrounding them. Hoshino Ai stood on the right of Makimura Taku, and Ogura Tomoki on the left.

She asked Taku Makimura if he needed to call the driver, and he replied no, and she nodded.

Hoshino Ai asked Makimura Taku where he was going. In fact, Makimura Taku had already made up his mind to go to a dessert shop or a coffee shop to sit for a while.

After hearing this, Hoshino Ai showed an expression as if to expect it, but she said it was no problem.

Tomoki Ogura made a long "tsk" sound.

She regretted it. There was really no point in leaving this kind of thing to Taku Makimura.

She said, "How about going to the playground? How about that?"

She looked at Hoshino Ai.

Ai Hoshino has never been to an amusement park since she was a child. In her opinion, it is a place that requires parents or friends to accompany you.

She had been alone since she was a child. Before she met Taku Makimura and B Komachi, she had no friends and no one ever took her anywhere.

When she heard Ogura Tomoki's suggestion, her eyes lit up instantly. Without waiting for Makimura Taku to answer, she immediately said yes, and let's go to the amusement park!

Tomoki Ogura also ignored Taku Makimura and called the driver. The car arrived in ten minutes. Taku Makimura even suspected that there was a parking lot nearby her house.

The driver opened the door and Hoshino Ai got into the car.

Tomoki Ogura stood outside, holding the car door with her hands, but her eyes were looking at Taku Makimura. Taku Makimura bent down and sat in the passenger seat, and she got in after him.

The car drove onto the main road and drove all the way to the center of Tokyo, arriving at the Tokyo Dome surrounded by three stations: Korakuen, Kasuga, and Suidobashi.

Tokyo is really bustling.

When they got off the bus, it was almost half past nine.

The dome was surrounded by people, all intersections were crowded with people, and the view was bustling.

Late cherry blossoms bloom under the moonlight. Stadiums, bookstores, hotels, gourmet restaurants, giant sculptures, and idol posters are far from comparable to any other place in Ochanomizu.

"Where are we?" Hoshino Ai said happily as she turned a full circle in the quiet night.

"This is Tokyo Dome," Tomoki Ogura told her.

Taku Makimura got off the car and looked up to see the roller coaster. Next to it was a slowly rotating, glowing Ferris wheel and a pirate ship underneath.

That is Tokyo Dome City Attractions, an amusement park near the dome, formerly the Korakuen amusement park that opened in 1955.

There are roller coasters with a speed of 130 kilometers per hour and a height of 80 meters, free fall facilities with a height of 60 meters, and water slides suitable for children.

"Tokyo Dome?"

Taku Makimura came to her side and looked up at the Tokyo Dome with her.

It is a super stadium with 55000 seats and is also the home stadium of the Japanese professional baseball team Yomiuri Giants.

Basketball, American football, professional wrestling, mixed martial arts, K-1 events or music performances, many events have been held there.

"Nogizaka, TVXQ and Girls' Generation have all held concerts there. It's a really amazing place."

"...So amazing." Hoshino Ai exclaimed, "It's like this place is specially opened for super idols!"

"That's okay," replied Taku Makimura.

At this time, the driver drove away, and Ogura Yuki came from behind and said, "There will be a chance to come and see it later. Let's go to the amusement park first."

"Good!" Hoshino Ai cheered.

She had never been to a place like this before, so she was excited about everything.

Although Makimura Taku had not been here, his expression was as indifferent as usual.

Tomoki Ogura seemed very experienced, but in fact she had never been here before.

However, having spent a few years in New York as a child and coming from a wealthy family, she was able to easily integrate into this prosperous environment.

The three of them bought tickets at the ticket office of the amusement park, and all the money was paid by Tomoki Ogura.

Hoshino Ai hesitated when she took the ticket. She looked up and said, "Youxi, I'll return the money to you when I get back!"

Taku Makimura looked at her and suddenly realized that it was natural for him to accept Ogura Tomoki's support.

This is not a good sign, he thought, and turned to Ogura Yuki.

Ogura Tomoki waved his hand in advance and said, "It's okay. I wanted to find you guys anyway, and I don't need this little money."

"As expected of a young lady," said Taku Makimura.

Ogura Youxi frowned and rolled his eyes at him.

Hoshino Ai looked at the ticket in her hand. The price was a bit expensive. It was not that she couldn't afford it, but she would have to take a lot of the money she earned from part-time work.

Although this idol performance did earn some ticket money, it was still too little in the end.

Originally, the biggest profit should have come from selling peripheral products, but B Komachi doesn’t have such things yet, so she had to give up.
