Long-awaited Date (2)

Ten minutes later, Shizu and I exited the bookstore. I held the paper bag containing the two books that we bought.

What did she get for me?

Uh. Let’s just say it’s a motivational work that deals with being different from anyone. It was originally for her but she wanted me to read it first as at this point, we’re already peas in the same pod.

Thankfully, it wasn’t as thick as an encyclopedia. I could surely finish it in my spare time.

With our bookstore date considered a success, Shizu was now excited about what else to come.

“Your turn, numbskull.”

Giving me full rein on our next destination, she probably wouldn’t mind if I brought her home or to a hotel.

But well, that’s too early for that. She told me that she already got permission to stay overnight. As for her excuse, it’s like I guessed. She just made up one lie and they bought it right away without questioning her too much. Her parents trusted her that much.
