Kyoto: I just want to be a gentleman

Watanabe Hideyuki believes that if you work in this place for a long time, your definition of "normal" will become different from others. In other words, they set the upper limit of "abnormal" too high and the bottom line is infinitely close to zero, so "normal" here is no different from "abnormal".

Watanabe Hideyuki glanced around and found that the most "normal" piece of clothing on the shelf was... a cat-ear maid outfit.

Kitano Chiharu's eyes also fell on the dress. Obviously, deep down in her heart, she also agreed with Watanabe Hideyuki's idea.

The saleswoman keenly sensed the subtle atmosphere between the two. She walked up to them with a smile and asked softly, "This cat-ear maid costume is a popular style in our store. Are you interested in trying it on?"

Watanabe Hideyuki didn't say anything, but turned his head to look at Kitano Chiharu, asking for her opinion with his eyes.

Kitano Chiharu met his gaze and her heart was beating fast. She hesitated for a moment, recalling what she had said in the morning. She nodded, took the cat-ear maid outfit handed to her by the saleswoman, and walked into the fitting room.

The door of the fitting room closed gently, and Kitano Chiharu's heartbeat was particularly clear in the quiet space.

She slowly put on the cat-ear maid outfit, feeling the novel touch of the clothes. In the mirror, she put on cute cat ears and a delicate apron, as if she had become a different person.

The moment Kitano Chiharu walked out of the fitting room, it seemed as if all the light in the entire store was focused on her.

She was wearing a cat-ear maid outfit. The black dress was well-cut, and the hem of the dress swayed gently, dancing with her steps. The lace edge of the apron was embellished just right, adding a bit of playfulness without losing elegance.

The most eye-catching thing is the pair of cat ears on her head, which are so soft and cute that people can't help but want to touch them. The cat ears tremble slightly, as if they can understand human language, which complements her smart eyes. Her long hair is gently draped over her shoulders, which complements the black tone of the maid outfit and highlights the whiteness and delicateness of her skin.

A shy blush appeared on Kitano Chiharu's face, as if it was the sunset glow, adding a bit of charm to her beauty. There was a light flashing in her eyes, which was the spark of charm and spring, two incompatible attributes intertwined, which made Watanabe Hideyuki unable to take his eyes off for a moment.

This situation continued until... the saleslady stood in front of the cashier counter with a smile on her face and said the cold number with her mouth that was warm at 37 degrees.

"Maekei fifteen thousand yen."

Watanabe Hideyuki took out two Fukuzawa Yukichi notes from his wallet in a daze and handed them over.

But he turned and looked at Kitano Chiharu.

The feeling of unwillingness in his heart disappeared completely.

Is it worth it...

Fifteen thousand yen for a maid who wears a cat-ear maid outfit 24 hours a day is, of course... a sure win.

Chiharu Kitano walked out of the store with Hideyuki Watanabe, carrying several exquisite shopping bags containing maid outfits and her own underwear.

Tonight...do you want to...

Kitano Chiharu didn't know what she was thinking, and her heart was filled with ripples...

night.

All sounds are silent.

After a busy day, Watanabe Hideyuki sat on the sofa and felt a rare sense of peace and relaxation.

He looked at the notebook in front of him. It was a black, leather notebook with a metal lock on the frame.

Although Watanabe Hideyuki thought that this lock was useless, in his mind, writing secrets in such a book had a mysterious sense of ritual.

This sense of ritual comes from the childhood of a post-90s generation in a foreign country - this is from the diary of a serious person.

Keeping a diary has never been Watanabe Hideyuki's habit, but habits are often developed slowly through some things, and as you can see, Watanabe Hideyuki is developing this habit.

Why did he suddenly start keeping a diary?

Even Watanabe Hideyuki himself doesn't know the answer to this question. If you really want him to explain it, the answer might be... fear.

afraid?

Yes, afraid.

Watanabe Hideyuki was afraid that he would disappear quietly from this world, that he would be forgotten in the long river of time, that he would live his life again and not achieve anything, and then...

As the days passed, he became afraid.

If such a day eventually comes, Watanabe Hideyuki hopes to leave something for himself, a glimmer of hope - the hope of breaking the endless cycle of the Möbius strip.

Diary is his best choice at the moment.

He unscrewed the lock, opened the notebook, picked up the pen, and began to record his experience today. The tip of the pen gently moved across the paper, making a rustling sound.

March 2020, 4

Monday, sunny

Today is the second day since my "reunion" with Chiharu Kitano, and a subtle feeling lingers in my heart.

It's as if... as if everything I'm experiencing now is just an illusory dream...

Zhuang Zhou dreamed of a butterfly? A dream of a yellow millet?

I'm not really in a dream, am I? My own dream?

It's unrealistic for me to still be sleeping soundly in that cramped closet, right?

Oh, of course this is all nonsense.

The system cannot be manifested in dreams. This is the conclusion I came to last time I sneaked into Kitano Chiharu's dream.

Kitano Chiharu is much cuter now than she was two years later. Apart from being a little small, she doesn't have any flaws.

As long as you tease her gently, her cheeks will quickly turn red, as red as a ripe apple, so beautiful and tempting.

Like...Satoshi-chan? (Watanabe Hideyuki thought for a moment and then crossed out the name with a black pen.)

Today, I took her shopping for clothes...”

After finishing writing the diary, Watanabe Hideyuki closed the book and carefully placed it in a secret place - under the sofa cushion, and then stared blankly at the ceiling.

Today is Monday and the points mall has just been updated.

Watanabe Hideyuki looked at the refreshed points mall panel, and his eyes first fell on [1 point: 500 yen].

Yes.

Why didn't he think of that?

He now has 250 points, which can be exchanged for yen. Although it is not worth it, it can help him get through the difficult period.

and.

He can also carry out his previous plan.

He also has a "Practice Makes Perfect" experience card. As long as he finds the corresponding method, it is not difficult to earn tens of thousands of points a day.

So, that converts to... 5 million... yen?

Watanabe Hideyuki was a little overwhelmed by this huge number. Although 5 million yen was not a lot for him before, it was undoubtedly an astronomical figure for him now.

He could even buy Kitano Chiharu an extra six different cat-ear maid costumes, no, bunny-ear maid costumes.

Change one piece a day without any appreciation.

No, he seemed to remember something...

If he remembered correctly, a prop had been refreshed in the points mall before... It seemed to be the "Door to Anywhere" in "Doraemon", was he remembering it correctly?

In the movie version of "Doraemon", the time can be adjusted by turning the scale on the door handle, which means that the anywhere door can travel through time and space. If he can get it... does it mean that he can go back?

and.

Since any door can be found in the points mall...can Doraemon's time machine also be found?

Isn't this more direct?

Moreover, this was the second time he had gotten the special-effect Yunnan Baiyao, which meant that the points mall would repeatedly refresh items, which also meant that even if he couldn't get the time machine, he still had the possibility of getting the portal...

Watanabe Hideyuki was still thinking about various possibilities when he suddenly heard the door of Kitano Chiharu's bedroom slowly open with a creaky sound.

Is Kitano Chiharu going to the bathroom?

No, why are the footsteps coming towards him...

Watanabe Hideyuki closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. He wanted to see what Chiharu Kitano was trying to do secretly...
