If she remembered correctly, LUMINE EST seemed to be a large women's clothing mall, and the prices were mostly not very expensive. Without discounts, the prices were around 3000 to 15000 yen. If there were discounts... % to % off was quite common, and sometimes the prices were even completely discounted.

Even with her little pocket money, with the end-of-spring sales now underway, she should be able to... probably... afford it... right?

Then, she finally realized that Kitagawa Yu was still complaining about how tacky her clothes were!

This made her unable to help but wave her little fist at Kitagawa You in anger, but considering that Kitagawa You had just treated her to Dorayaki, she was not angry in her heart. In fact, her eyes lit up before she even put her little fist down.

After all... no normal girl can refuse a fashion store with discounts and promotions!

If so, it can only be said that the discount is not big enough!

If you don’t believe me, try getting a 10% discount!

By then, not to mention young girls, even the 40-50 year-old ladies will come and crowd the mall.

"Well... summer is almost here..."

"so what?"

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

Yana, who refused to admit that his clothes were dirty, saw Xingna and first glared at him unhappily, then couldn't help but urge him.

If there is a piece of clothing that she can afford and looks good, it's not impossible for her to... just buy it and wear it directly.

However, her expectation of receiving praise from Hakamada Sosuke would probably be dashed with disappointment.

"What do you think of this one, Kitagawa-kun?"

"...What about this one?"

"How about this one?"

"And this one..."

Maybe the 40% off promotion at the end of the season was really great, or maybe it was because she never had much pocket money and she hadn’t been to the mall for a long time.

When Anna Yanami walked into LUMINE EST at this moment, she was like a greedy little mouse sneaking into the kitchen of a Michelin three-star restaurant, her eyes were almost too busy!

And it might be because she called "Kitagawa-kun" too many times and it was too troublesome. When she asked Kitagawa Yuu's opinion for the thirty-something time, Yanajian Xingna finally subconsciously changed the three words "Kitagawa-kun" to the simpler and more convenient "Yuu".

Then she kept shopping until she was hungry, and finally realized that even with a 1000% discount, the 10 yen in her wallet and a few 50-yen and -yen coins were not enough to buy the thing.

more importantly......

"What's going on with that guy Kusuke? It's almost six o'clock, why hasn't he come to see us yet?"

"That's right!" Kitagawa Yuya deliberately made an unhappy and angry expression and looked at the screen of Yanami Anna's mobile phone.

"Damn it!"

"My game isn't over yet, I can't leave."

"If you're hungry, why don't you go eat with Kitagawa-kun?"

"As for buying a bass effects pedal, if it's really not possible, I'll ask Kitagawa-kun to buy it for me. Anyway, I don't really know what kind of effects pedal to buy."

"As long as the price doesn't exceed 4000 yen, that's fine."

"Damn it! That guy Kusuke actually dared to stand us up!" Yana saw Kyouna holding the phone with gritted teeth, and she had obviously realized that Hakamada Kusuke was going to stand her up.

However, she did not suspect that Hakamada Sosuke did it on purpose. After all, Hakamada Sosuke really liked playing video games. Once, on the night before the final exam, he even played games with Murata, Fujii and others all night long.

As a result, when they took the exam the next day, the three of them, who could barely open their eyes, all failed the exam as expected.

Now that she was just stood up, it wouldn't be strange to her.

but......

I’m so angry!

After all, this was the first time that Hakamada Kusuke had asked her out shopping in recent years! Even if it was a date with three people, not just two people alone, it was important to her, right?

While being angry, Yana saw that Xingcai was also feeling aggrieved, her eyes became a little red, and tears couldn't help but well up in her eyes.

But at this moment, a warm hand suddenly fell on her head and touched her head, which made her stunned for a moment and directly interrupted her spell.

Chapter 74 Chance Encounter

"Huh? Yuu-ta..."

Yana saw Xingna raise her head, move her eyes away from the phone screen, and stare blankly at Kitagawa Yu.

If...Kitagawa Yuu kept holding her hand and forgot to let go, just like Onmizu Kazuhiko in the original story, then she might still suspect whether Kitagawa Yuu had feelings for her and take the opportunity of teasing to test him out.

However, after interrupting her angry and aggrieved mood, Kitagawa Yu took his hand back very naturally, which made her a little at a loss.

That feeling... is like being flirted with by a scumbag and then running away!

"Aren't you hungry? I'm a little hungry too. Let's go eat. What do you want for dinner?"

Yana came back to her senses and saw Anna looking at Kitagawa Yu's gentle smile, and she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart. All her previous anger and grievances seemed to melt away like ice and snow, leaving only faint traces.

An indescribable emotion spread from the bottom of her heart, making her like Kitagawa You even more.

"Such a gentle and handsome boy is also so talented... It's really a bargain for those two cowgirls..."

Yana saw that Kyouka first grumbled in her heart, then thought for a moment and said, "I only have 1000 yen on me, which is all my pocket money for next week, so let's go to Yoshinoya, shall we?"

As one of the largest restaurant chains in Japan, Yoshinoya focuses on affordability.

Although the taste is not particularly outstanding, it is definitely acceptable. For example, a standard large beef rice set meal with a raw egg and miso soup only costs 420 yen, which is definitely cheap even in the countryside, let alone in the high-cost Shinjuku, Tokyo.

"Then let's go, let's go eat first, and then go to the music store after dinner."

"Ok!"

Yana saw Kyouna nodded and didn't refuse.

Although mentioning the musical instrument store will make her think of Hakamada Kusuke, and mentioning Hakamada Kusuke will make her think of herself being stood up and feel a little angry, but after all, Hakamada Kusuke is her childhood sweetheart.

Beichuan You couldn't help but feel complicated when he saw this.

Although if Yana didn't go shopping at the musical instrument store, his subsequent date plans would not be able to be implemented.

But when he saw that Yanajian Anna really forgave Hakamada Kusuke so easily, Kitagawa Yu felt a little uncomfortable.

"Childhood sweethearts..."

Beichuan You sighed silently.

And then...he didn't expect that when he and Yanami Kyouna left LUMINE EST and came to the Yoshinoya near the station, they would actually meet Rupa and Ebizuka Satoshi here.

"Ah!? Kitagawa-kun?"

As Rupa, who was in work clothes, called out Kitagawa Yu's name, Ebizka Tomo and Yana, who was looking down at the menu, all turned their heads at the same time.

"Huh? Is Rupa-chan working here?" Kitagawa Yu couldn't help but be stunned after seeing Rupa.

Rupa and Satoshi Ebizuka work part-time at Yoshinoya, which he noticed when watching anime.

However, there are more than 300 Yoshinoya stores in Tokyo, so he didn't expect that he would happen to come to the store where the two of them worked.

However, this Yoshinoya is not only close to the station, but also located in Shinjuku, one of the three largest live house concentrations in Tokyo. It is also close to Takadanobaba where Rupa is learning bass, so it seems quite reasonable if you think about it carefully.

"Is this Kitagawa-kun's girlfriend?"

At this time, Rupa's gaze had shifted from Kitagawa Yu to Yanami Anna, with a curious gleam in his eyes.

At the same time, when Yana saw Xingna looking at Rupa, who was dressed in black and looked to be about twenty years old, a strange look flashed across her eyes, and she also became curious about Rupa's identity.

After all, Rupa is obviously several years older than Kitagawa Yu, but Kitagawa Yu calls her 'Rupa-chan'. Why is that?

The answer is of course Rupa himself asked for it~

After all, she and Ebizuka Satoshi get along as friends. When she comes to Kitagawa Yuu, she can't become an older sister or a senior, right?

In addition, Yanami Kyouka didn't care about being mistaken for Kitagawa Yuu's girlfriend.

After all, it is normal for boys and girls of similar age to be misunderstood when they go out to eat or go shopping together.

What's more... to be honest, Yana felt secretly happy and proud that Kyouna was mistaken for the girlfriend of a handsome guy like Kitagawa Yuu.

"You guessed wrong. This is my classmate and club member Yanami Kyouna. I came out with her today to accompany her to look at the guitar."

Kitagawa Yuu first clarified his relationship with Yanami Anna, and then introduced Yanami Anna: "This is the bassist Rupa who I met when I was in the arrangement class."

"Hello, my name is Rupa. Since I'm from South Asia, my name is a little difficult to pronounce, so you can just call me Rupa-chan~" Rupa greeted Yanami Kyouna with a gentle smile.

Now Yana saw that Kyouna finally understood why Kitagawa Yu called her 'Lupa-chan'.

"Oh, this is our Xiaozhi——"

Rupa then pulled Satoshi Ebizuka over and looked at him with eyes full of kindness and encouragement.

"......Nice to meet you. I'm keyboard player Satoshi Ebizuka. Nice to meet you. Please take care of me!"

The corners of Ebzuka Satoshi's mouth twitched slightly, and she felt a little shy and reluctant in her heart, but in order not to disappoint Rupa's concern and expectations for her, she still forced a smile and took the initiative to introduce herself.

However, it was working hours now, and there were many customers in the store because it was lunchtime, so after a brief self-introduction, she and Rupa continued to be busy.

On the other side, when Yana saw Anna sitting down at the bar with Kitagawa Yu again, she first glanced at Rupa and Ebizuka Satoshi who had returned to the semi-open kitchen, then turned her head and looked at Kitagawa Yu with a gossipy look on her face.

"Hey! You, are you on good terms with that Lupa?"

"We're just ordinary friends who I've only known for three days," Beichuan You explained calmly, "My arrangement class happens to be next to her bass class, so we've only met two or three times."

"Then why is that girl so enthusiastic towards you? That smile...tsk, could it be that she is interested in you?"

Yana lowered her voice subconsciously when she saw Xingna talking, and her eyes couldn't help but flash with excitement.

That’s right, she, Anami Yanami, is just an ordinary high school girl who loves food and gossip. Except for her rich expressions and lively personality, she is ordinary in every other aspect.

But it’s just like in “The World God Only Knows”, Chihiro Kosaka, the most ordinary girl who has almost no special skills except her sharp tongue, finally defeated all the goddesses and won the heart of God.

In Kitagawa Yu's eyes, this kind of Yanami Anna is really super cute!

"If my childhood sweetheart was Yanami, she would definitely give up her dream and form a band with me, right? Even if I asked her to transfer to Tokyo to study together, she would definitely agree without hesitation, right?"

Beichuan You thought about it and said nonchalantly, "It should be just because I play in a band and am an arranger. Besides, even if she is really interested in me, it's normal, isn't it?"

"Slightly narcissistic guy!"

Yana saw Xingna making a face at him, and then he didn't know why, although he didn't hear the gossip, he felt more relaxed and happy in his heart.

Chapter 75 Getting Closer to Bu Yi

"Yuu, what are you going to order?"

"Let's go for the beef rice set. After all, Yoshinoya's beef rice is considered its signature delicacy."

"But I also want to order the beef rice set~"

"so what?"

"How about you order the sauce pork chop rice bowl?"

"This way you can have both beef rice and pork chop in sauce, right?"

"Hey, you figured this out..."

Perhaps it was because they had already had more than one more intimate indirect kiss, and Hakamada Kusuke didn't care at all even if he saw it.

Yana now saw that Kyoka no longer thought there was anything wrong with her, as a good friend, adding a piece of unbitten fried pork chop covered with sauce from Kitagawa Yu's bowl to her own bowl.

That's right, although they have only known each other for less than a week, maybe because she has just entered high school and changed to a new environment, she has already regarded Kitagawa Yu as a good friend.

Especially since the two of them had just gone shopping together, she had tried on clothes for Kitagawa Yu to see, and... after Kitagawa Yu's intimate head pat, she had unknowingly upgraded her "new friend with whom she has a good relationship" to a "very good friend".

In fact, even if her childhood sweetheart Hakamada Kusuke is included, Kitagawa Yu is the only boy who goes shopping and eating with her alone.

"Okay then~"

Beichuan You pretended to hesitate for a moment, then suppressed the smile in his heart and agreed reluctantly.

Then, Yana saw Ancai adding fried pork cutlet from Kitagawa Yu's bowl to her own bowl. This scene was seen by Rupa, which made Rupa wink at Kitagawa Yu and snicker with a teasing look on his face.

In fact, she really didn't have any thoughts about Kitagawa Yuu. She just thought that Kitagawa Yuuto was pretty good, could compose music, and seemed to have a sunny personality. He was very suitable to be friends with a guy like Ebizuka Satoshi who seemed cold but was actually a tsundere.

I didn't think about any further development between myself, Ebizuka Satoshi, and Kitagawa Yu.

Of course, if Ebizka Satoshi really fell in love with Kitagawa Yu after getting to know her, she wouldn't object.

As for now...
