I, Tomoya Aki, am not a bootlicker

I came here with good intentions to accompany the other person, and the other person appreciates it, but it seems a bit unnecessary.

"When was the last time you held hands with that person?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha asked curiously.

However, this question obviously irritated Eriri a bit.

She didn't remember it clearly, and to be honest, it was not easy to talk about the past.

"Instead of worrying about my affairs, why not take care of yourself!"

She said this somewhat tsunderely, and Eriri crossed her arms over her chest as if she was angry, and turned her head to the other side.

And the next moment, Kasumigaoka Utaha repeated the original words to Eriri word for word.

Thank you so much for visiting her on Christmas Day.

However, Kasumigaoka Utaha hopes that Eriri can be more powerful.

"Christmas Eve, Christmas Eve, think about what to do tonight. You didn't even tell me before you came, so I didn't prepare anything."

Kasumigaoka Utaha no longer mentioned what happened before, but walked around the room cleaning up.

Because she had never thought about having friends coming to visit, Kasumigaoka Utaha had basically not prepared anything.

If Eriri had said it earlier, she could have been prepared.

On Christmas Eve, you can get together with friends, or get together with family, or go out on the street to show your affection...

This year, Tomoya Aki spent Christmas Eve with the Hajima siblings.

Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri are together.

Others who know or don't know also have their own arrangements.

Just like Michiru Hyodo, who was still recording a radio program on Christmas Eve.

Or like Kato Megumi, staying at home as usual, reading popular magazines and thinking about what to buy after the New Year.

Before Christmas, Tomoya Aki heard Sayaka Kudo say that she was also having a party with her good friends from high school today.

It’s great that I’m still in touch with my high school friends, but one of them, Tomoya Aki, is almost out of touch.

Before the subway stopped operating, Akitomo said goodbye to the Hajima siblings and returned home.

At Kasumigaoka Utaha's house, Eriri said that she could not catch the last bus and asked to stay overnight.

"What was that? You go to that person's house and tell them you want to stay the night?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha said teasingly.

"This kind of plot is common in novels, right? The heroine can't catch the last bus, so she can only stay overnight at the hero's house. When night falls, who knows what unspeakable things might happen..."

Her voice was full of seduction, and she almost whispered these words into Eriri's ear.

Ying Lili gradually frowned, and then couldn't help but push the other person away.

"What have you been teaching me all day long?!"

Operations like that, regardless of their level, just seemed very boring to Eriri.

From the time she arrived at Kasumigaoka Utaha's house until now, Eriri has often been teased by Kasumigaoka Utaha using similar methods.

Sure enough, most of the time, when the two of them are together, they are definitely not like old friends who look at each other in silence and tacit understanding.

"Who are you now, Kasumigaoka Utaha!"

"I?"

As Kasumigaoka Utaha faced Eriri's questioning, her expression gradually became more proud.

"I am a noble bachelor!"

Chapter 301 New Year's Visit (3/5)

Kasumigaoka Utaha's self-introduction left Eriri speechless.

She wanted to say that the other party had evolved into a solitary frost wolf, but she hesitated at that time.

After thinking about it carefully, Eriri also felt that she couldn't quite understand Kasumigaoka Utaha.

After Christmas Eve, the following seven days passed by in a flash, and New Year's Day soon arrived.

After the New Year's week, it is back to school day.

There is nothing much to say about the New Year. Aki Tomoya's parents' companies have all been closed for holidays, so he has been at home these days.

Nothing unexpected happened. In addition to returning to his hometown in Nagano, relatives would also come to his house to get together.

During the first week of the new year, Akitomo had no plans and just did whatever his parents told him to do.

On days like the family gathering, among Tomoya Aki's peers, Michiru Hyodo could not come.

And Akitomo has no intention of staying at home.

Because if it was like last year, with a group of people surrounding him and talking about the University of Tokyo and role models, Aki Tomoya would feel very embarrassed.

After noon on New Year's Day, An Yilun said goodbye to his parents and ran out, planning to come back in the evening after all the relatives left.

"Lun Ye Lun Ye, where are you?"

The phone was buzzing as Eriri sent a message asking him where he was.

"Outside."

"So where is outside?"

“Waiting for the subway.”

Aki Tomoya plans to go to Sensoji Temple and then go to other places, and not come back until all the relatives have left in the evening.

"…I'm at your door o(╥﹏╥)o"

Looking at the pitiful expression sent by Eriri on Line, Tomoya Aki smiled.

On the first day of the new year, she came to visit right after Aki Tomoya left.

Speaking of which, Aki Tomoya hasn't had the chance to tell her about the New Year visit yet.

"Happy New Year."

Tomoya Aki sent out New Year's greetings.

This was really a missed opportunity. He didn't expect that Eriri would come to visit in person today.

Thinking that he must not be bothered by his relatives at night, Tomoya Aki was only thinking about how to avoid entering into an atmosphere that made him uncomfortable.

So, just don’t participate.

Let the older generation have fun on their own at their gatherings.

"Happy New Year... where are you going?"

"Sensoji Temple, Tokyo Tower, Sanzu River..."

"The first two are fine, but the third problem is really big!"

It’s okay to go to the first two places during the New Year, but there will definitely be a lot of people.

But for the third one, I guess no one would rush to take it.

"It's not a good sign to make such a joke on New Year's Day. You should say something more auspicious."

After complaining for a while, Eriri reminded her childhood sweetheart that it was New Year.

"Yes, yes, happy new year!"

Aki Tomoya was looking at his phone with a smile on his face, but the door of the subway car that had arrived at the station had already closed and was heading towards the next stop. He could only wait for the next train.

"Are you still at the subway station?"

"Still here. Thanks to you, I missed the bus."

"...Then can you wait for me a little longer? I want to go to Sensō-ji Temple, too!"

"Ok."

When Eriri said that she also wanted to go to Sensoji Temple, Akitomo replied without any hesitation.

"wait for me!"

Eriri didn't let Aki Tomoya wait for long. After about ten minutes, he met Eriri at the station.

When Yinglili arrived here, she breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was winter, there were some beads of sweat on her forehead.

She shouted as if she had won a 100-meter sprint: "We're at the finish line!"

"Thank you for your hard work!"

When Tomoya Aki noticed the tiny beads of sweat on Eriri's forehead, he realized that Eriri must have been in a hurry to get here.

Actually, she didn't need to be so anxious.

"Wipe it."

Aki Tomoya took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to Eriri.

The latter was stunned and asked him cutely: "Where should I wipe it? Is there any dirty spot on my face?"

Seeing her look puzzled and concerned about her image, Aki Tomoya smiled kindly and said, "Sweat, it's on your forehead."

It seemed that Eriri didn't even realize that there was sweat on her forehead.

After being reminded by Tomoya Aki, Eriri didn't need to be polite anymore. After saying thank you quietly, she took the handkerchief and wiped it lightly.

"Ren Ye, are you planning to visit Sensoji Temple alone?"

"That's about right. A friend of mine is taking his second college entrance exam this year, so I'm going to ask for an academic amulet as a token of my appreciation."

Aki Tomoya explained casually.

Fumino Furuhashi will take the central examination in late January and the second examination the following month.

It was Sayaka Kudo who told him about her situation.

After repeating a year of hard work, as a comrade-in-arms, Aki Tomoya still hopes that Furuma Fumino can successfully fulfill her wish this year.

There are so many people visiting Sensoji Temple during the New Year.

When they got off the station and arrived outside Sensō-ji Temple, they could see a long stream of people surging in front of them.

All Akitomo could do was ask Eriri to follow him closely and not get separated.

“It’s so crowded!”

This was not Eriri's first time visiting Sensoji Temple, but it was certainly not as crowded on weekdays as it was during festivals.

There are just too many people.

There are many people who come to worship, draw fortunes, and buy amulets.

In the bustling crowd, Tomoya Aki and Eriri were just two small dots.

They ended up waiting in line for over an hour before it was their turn.

When visiting Sensoji Temple, Aki Tomoya clasped his hands together, and at least at this time he seemed to be praying very devoutly in his heart.

Kudo's novel is a big seller, Kato is successful in his studies, and Michiru is about to soar to fame!

I hope we can still meet that guy Kihiko again. As for Eriri... Well, it seems that Eriri doesn't need to worry too much. There is a promising future!

Gu Qiao successfully passed the entrance exam to Gong Xianyu this year. The teachers, parents, and relatives of the cram school...

The Hajima siblings...

Takagi, Mashima and others...

Finally, it’s Kasumigaoka Utaha. I wish her a successful transformation. By the way, it’s better not to drag TAKI out to whip her corpse.

Anyway, I hope everyone we know is alive and well, and the new year will be blessed with good weather and no more typhoons in Tokyo.

Akitomo didn't know what Eriri next to him was thinking, but as for himself, even he couldn't help but say that he was so greedy!
