What does Yukino Like

Surprisingly, despite his aspirations to become the harem king, it was his first experience dating girls after school.

Hmm... It's also his first time going out with two girls simultaneously.

Makoto Amano was so unfamiliar with the commercial street where the after-school cashiers often frequented that he couldn't even recognize if he was walking along it.

But...

Since Yuigahama-san didn't make any comments, it should be the right direction.

"Yuigahama-san, we should be there if we go to the right here, right?"

Makoto Amano saw boys and girls wearing the same uniform as him not far away.

"Ah, um...the department store is opposite."

Yuigahama Yui, who was suddenly asked for directions, looked up from the state of playing with the phone in surprise.

That's weird, hasn't Amano-san been here before?

This commercial street is incredibly popular within the school; it's unlikely that anyone is unaware of it...

But after entering the department store, she dispelled her guess.

Because every time Makoto Amano goes to a counter, he can have a very happy chat with the clerk there, just like an old customer who often comes here.

Particularly with the female shop assistants, Makoto Amano has a knack for bringing them joy with every word, leaving a lasting positive impact on their mood.

On the contrary, Yukino's behavior is quite easy to interpret.

It appears that she rarely visits this type of shopping mall, and when she does, she is completely absorbed in exploring her surroundings, resembling a child entering a zoo for the very first time.

However, judging by the pleasant smile on her face, it seems that she is not experiencing any boredom.

She even looked a little excited, which was completely opposite to her previous reaction in the Service Department.

Soon, Yuigahama Yui shifted her attention away from Makoto Amano, who was engrossed in conversations with the big sister saleswomen, and directed her gaze towards Yukino, who was leisurely exploring the department store.

Yukino would stop from time to time to carefully study the products on display, ah, this inexplicably serious attitude, Yukino is so cute...

However, as soon as Yukino sensed the approach of a sales clerk, she would quickly abandon the product area she was interested in.

Displaying a stark contrast to Amano-san's behavior.

It's a good thing they are childhood sweethearts.

Yuigahama Yui thought silently in her heart while paying attention to the two people in front of her.

——

"Yuigahama-san, which one do you like?"

Makoto Amano has already obtained the information he wants from the clerk here.

Soon, Makoto Amano led the two girls behind him to the counter that sold cup utensils.

He held two tea cups in his hands, one with engraved patterns and the other without.

Pointing to the one with patterns, Yuigahama Yui said, "This one."

"Which one do you think is better, Yukino?"

Caught off guard, Yukinoshita Yukino was engrossed in examining a peculiar panda puppet with fierce eyes, sharp claws, and glowing fangs on the other side.

Upon hearing Makoto Amano's voice, she hastily placed the doll back on the shelf and attempted to nonchalantly brush her hair near her ear.

"What's up?"

"No, nothing..."

The cat slave's interest is really... hard to figure out.

Makoto Amano sensibly did not judge Yukino's preferences.

Based on past experiences, Makoto Amano had come

to understand that Yukino would not engage in reasoning or discussions when it came to such matters.

Talking about it indiscriminately will only attract the girl's poisonous tongue and abuse.

Although it may bring him satisfaction, Makoto Amano recognizes the need to exercise restraint in public settings like these.

"The one on the left."

Although Yukino didn't hear Makoto Amano's question clearly, she quickly guessed what he was thinking when she saw the appearance of two cups in his hand.

"Then buy this."

The cup on the left hand is the one with the pattern.

Unexpectedly, Yukino, who likes cats, has the same aesthetics as Yuigahama, who likes dogs.

A little surprised...

However, this saves the hesitation of buying a cup.

"Then I'll buy this."

"I thought Amano-san was picking a cup for me by asking that question just now."

"I bought it for myself..."

Yuigahama Yui was a little disappointed.

However, she quickly adjusted her mood and then found a water glass with a dog pattern on the shelf.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, but Makoto Amano feels that the dog pattern on the cup chosen by Yuigahama... looks very similar to her dachshund.

——

"Yuigahama-san, surely you don't think our purpose for being here is solely to buy cups, do you?"

After choosing the cup, Makoto Amano quietly approached the dumpling-headed girl while Yukino went to look at the products on other counters.

"Difficult, isn't it?"

Yuigahama Yui found it somewhat difficult to adjust to the boy's sudden approach.

Every time Makoto Amano's breath reached her, Yuigahama Yui couldn't help but recall the moments when she had "shamelessly" buried her head in his chest in the grove, or when she had slipped her hand into his clothes....

Every time she recalled this, her expression would be very unnatural.

"Yuigahama, if you want to reconcile with someone, giving a gift is the best and easiest choice."

Makoto Amano gestured to a certain black-haired girl not far away with his eyes.

In order to make the harem "harmonious," he also broke her heart.

It's a pity that Yuigahama Yui's comprehension is a bit low, and he has to explain it clearly.

"You mean..."

The girl with the dumpling head's eyes lit up.

If you want to reconcile your relationship with Yukino, even better than before, it might be a good suggestion to give her a gift.

Yuigahama Yui began to search around the department store.

She remembered that what Yukino was most concerned about just now should be...

"Buy this star pendant for Yukino?"

Yuigahama Yui recalled that Yukino had shown an interest in observing these pendants before.

"Stupid, buy this."

Makoto Amano angrily stuffed the panda doll that Yukino pinched just now into Yuigahama Yui's arms.

"Hey... does Yukino like this?"

Observing the panda bear, Yuigahama Yui appeared to be in poor spirits.

It took her a while before she extended her hand to retrieve it, and only when the doll was on the verge of falling. With a sense of restraint, she finally grasped the panda doll.

Such a scary doll... with such a vicious expression, it's not cute at all...

"Does Yukino really like this kind of vicious doll?"

"If you don't want it, then you can buy the star pendant..."

"No, no, I'll buy it. Anyway, I'm sure I don't know Yukino better than Amano-san..."

Certainly, Yuigahama Yui is not an idiot. She knows that the one recommended by Makoto Amano is what Yukino really likes.

So, no matter how much she resisted, she hugged the panda doll in her hand tightly.

However, perhaps reflecting her own emotions, she made some slight, acidic remarks about the relationship between Amano Makoto and Yukino.

"Yuigahama-san..."

Unexpectedly, Makoto Amano noticed the underlying thoughts in the girl's words...

Does physical contact really have a romantic effect?

He couldn't help but unconsciously glance at the girl's dumpling, as well as her dainty feet tucked beneath her.

Her feet were slightly close together, revealing fair calves and adorned with small leather shoes that matched her school uniform.

Speaking of which, I was touched twice "presumptuously" by this girl. Shouldn't I find a chance to get the girl back?
