"...Isn't he already laughing?"
"No, this is an acknowledgment of your current adorable mode."
"Cute mode and stuff..."
Shiina turned her face away and didn't look at Su Qing again, it was unclear whether she was angry or ashamed.
"Do you remember the reward you promised me?"
"Hmm, should we use it now?"
"Yes, but before that, I'd like to ask if we can fulfill most requests."
"If it's not strange... then it's fine."
"Then I think you should stay in this cute mode until you get home. Would this reward seem strange?"
"Eh...? That's strange..."
"It looks like it won't work."
Su Qing sighed, looking somewhat disappointed.
"...No, if it's what you want, I'm willing."
Shiina wasn't hesitating; she just hadn't realized that Su Qing would make such a request. In fact, most people in this situation would ask the other person to do something for them, right?
And requests like Su Qing's...
Although Shiina didn't know what kind of reward someone else would offer, and of course, no one else would have such an opportunity, Shiina subconsciously felt that Su Qing's request was... very special.
Moreover, it was precisely because she knew Su Qing wouldn't make any excessive or strange requests that Shiina dared and was willing to agree.
Rather, it's precisely because he makes such a special request and demands for a reward that Su Qing is truly [Su Qing]...
"Well then, let's go. As per the reward, Shiina-kun, who's in cute mode, should hold my hand tightly to avoid getting lost."
really weird.
In the noisy and joyful entertainment space on the lower level, Su Qing's unique, warm voice stood out like a clear spring, clearly penetrating the surrounding clamor and reaching Shiina's ears.
Therefore, Shiina heard it very clearly.
Every word and every syllable of his seemed to be given life, transforming into tangible musical notes that lightly leaped from Su Qing's lips and floated in the air.
However, these notes did not drift away with the wind. Su Qing seemed to have her own quiet little world. This world was not big, but very small. At this moment, it could only accommodate Shiina and Su Qing.
And so these musical notes were confined to this small world, with nowhere else to go. Thus, they could only mischievously sneak into the girl's heart during those fleeting moments of distraction.
And so, a silent performance quietly began. These notes leaped and swirled on the heartstrings, weaving a melody that belonged only to the two of them.
At that moment, the lights were dazzling, and the girl was awakened by the beautiful melody. Then, she looked at Su Qing's face, who was still smiling gently. His hand was still in front of her, very close to her. If Shiina just reached out slightly, she could touch it and feel its warmth.
So, Shiina suppressed the pounding in her heart and then grasped that tangible warmth.
Then, the angelic girl with a dignified and sweet smile answered as follows:
"Then, please, Mr. Big Devil, hold my hand tightly today and don't let this little kid get lost~"
"That's natural."
……
"No, please don't laugh at me..."
Inside the bowling alley, Shiina, who had only managed to knock down one or two pins in three consecutive attempts, stood there dumbfounded. When he saw Su Qing's trembling body as she tried to suppress her laughter, he suppressed his embarrassment and said...
Although Shiina's athletic ability is quite good, it is the result of her hard work. In addition, she had never been exposed to related entertainment projects before, so her current performance is normal.
At least, that's how it is for Shiina in her cute mode.
Su Qing was able to hold back her laughter at first, but after hearing Shiina's words, she could no longer suppress it. What followed was a series of smooth, silky punches from her opponent.
"Hey, why are you hitting people?"
Su Qing covered the area where she had been beaten and pretended to be in pain.
But this wasn't the first time Shiina had done this; it was just that this time she was more unreasonable than before. So Shiina wouldn't believe Su Qing's somewhat exaggerated performance at this moment!
"Didn't you say I'd just be a kid today?"
"There's no rule that says kids can hit people, is there?"
Su Qing corrected him, and then got hit again.
"At times like these, children can be unreasonable."
"What? How come I didn't know that?"
"Hmph, there's a lot you don't know. Besides, this should be called... [acting cute]..."
Shiina's last few words were barely audible; even though Su Qing was so close, he couldn't hear what she was saying. Curious, he asked:
"If we don't call it hitting someone, what should we call it?"
"No, it's nothing."
Even angels can feel shy like ordinary girls. After realizing what she had just said, Shiina unconsciously turned her face away.
Is it a privilege for children to only say half of what they mean?
"Of course, I learned it very quickly this time!"
Hearing the girl's cheerful laughter, Su Qing decided not to argue with her anymore.
After all, he himself was the culprit who turned the other person into a child.
However, Shiina is also quite cute like this...
"Is that so? If it's a privilege, then there's nothing we can do about it."
"Yes, if it's about privileges, there's nothing we can do about it."
Shiina repeated Su Qing's words triumphantly, her voice still cheerful, carrying the unique romance of a young girl.
Su Qing smiled and said:
"Then I should have special privileges too, right? What do you think?"
"What privileges?"
Shiina turned around and looked at Su Qing curiously, but he didn't see her. The next moment, he felt his arm being lifted high and then made to throw a bowling ball.
"Eh...?!"
It was supposed to be a bowling game, but there was obviously no bowling ball at the moment. In addition, Su Qing just casually threw it symbolically with Shiina's arm. Even if there was a ball, it would most likely be a score of 0.
But knocking down those pins was clearly not Su Qing's purpose in doing so.
"You have the privilege of teaching kids how to bowl, right?"
"……Um."
The girl's murmur was as faint as a mosquito's buzz.
"If it's a privilege, then there's nothing I can do. So teach me again like you did before."
"Hey, do I have to teach you again? Kids are so troublesome and willful."
Su Qing sighed to herself, then gave a helpless smile.
"However, it is a privilege after all, so there's nothing we can do about it."
This time, the roles were reversed, and it was Su Qing's turn to repeat Shiina's words, but the next second, the two of them laughed at the same time.
Perhaps it's because Shiina/Su Qing is just so cute~
Chapter 105 The so-called "liking" (1)
Inside a coffee shop in a commercial plaza.
"Kyoko, you're too slow! Do you know how long I've been waiting for you?!"
The woman who had bumped into Shiina earlier angrily addressed her late-arriving companion.
"Sorry~ The traffic was terrible on the way here, Ayaka, please don't be mad~"
"Traffic jam is an excuse? Either you left too late, or your car wasn't working hard enough!"
"That can't possibly be because my rice Sur7 didn't work hard enough, it must be my fault, so to express my apology, I'll buy you coffee!"
"Okay, that'll make up for the two coffee coupons I just gave out."
"No barriers to entry, free?"
"Ah."
"You spendthrift woman, isn't the money for coffee worthless? Tell me, which handsome guy did you give it to? Did you give one as a gift and then give two away?"
"It's all your fault. You wouldn't answer my calls, so I had to text you. As a result, I wasn't looking where I was going and bumped into a couple."
But you know what, that couple was absolutely gorgeous! They'd definitely be the most beautiful and handsome guy in our school, hehehe.
"Um, that couple. Does the girl have flaxen hair and look as beautiful as an angel? Is the guy even more handsome than those models?"
"It seems so. What, you know him?"
"Then take another look, is it that pair..."
Kyoko Sato pointed to Shiina and Su Qing, who had just returned from the basement. It's worth mentioning that the two were still holding hands.
After all, it wouldn't be good if little Shiina got lost.
After the two found a place to sit down, Su Qing first asked the clerk if the two coffee coupons could be used. After receiving an affirmative answer, she and Shiina each ordered the coffee they wanted.
After a while, the coffee was served.
After taking a symbolic sip, Su Qing noticed that Shiina was holding the coffee she had ordered with both hands, completely still, her expression focused, not even blinking her beautiful eyes.
"What's wrong, Shiina? Is there something wrong with that coffee?"
Su Qing put down her coffee and asked.
Unexpectedly, Shiina turned her head at that moment, blinked her watery eyes, and said with great grievance:
"This kitten... is so cute, I can't bear to drink it."
Su Qing was still wondering why there was a kitten in the coffee when she leaned over to take a look and realized that the coffee Shiina had ordered had a kitten-shaped latte art on the surface.
"I think if you don't drink the kitten soon, I'll drink it too."
Su Qing pretended to snatch Shiina's coffee, which startled her so much that she picked it up with both hands and drank it down with her mouth to the rim.
"I...I drank it! I successfully protected the kitten!"
Shiina seemed genuinely happy that she had successfully protected the kitten, her tone brimming with pride and satisfaction.
However, Shiina's response was not Su Qing's praise, but a "click" from a mobile phone camera.
"Eh...?!"
Shiina didn't react and remained frozen in her seat.
Why did you suddenly take a picture of me...?
"Sorry, sorry, I just thought the white-bearded version of Shiina was also very cute, and I thought it was a rare opportunity, so I took the picture."
"White beard?"
The doubt in Shiina's eyes deepened, and it wasn't until Su Qing sent her the photos she had just taken that she let out a loud, steam engine-like roar.
"Well--!"
"If I don't like it, I'll delete it."
Taking photos without permission is really not good, especially on a small island where privacy is highly valued.
Seeing that Su Qing was really about to delete it, Shiina, without even bothering to wipe off the white layer on his face, quickly said:
"Wait, send it to me, I want to keep it..."
"Should we keep it?"
This surprised Su Qing. Shouldn't girls always leave behind beautiful photos? Why would Shiina ask for this somewhat funny photo?
Keep in mind, he was just doing it for fun.
"Yes, I feel...it's very meaningful, isn't it?"
