"Don't you want to go with him?"
Yuigahama Yui looked in the direction where Tomoya Aki had also left.
"Today, Makoto should be planning to go to Kasumigaoka-senpai's side, right?"
Ever since she found out about the presence of Kasumigaoka Utaha in the vicinity, Yuigahama instinctively believed that Makoto Amano's purpose today was that senior.
"It's okay. It's still early, and there must be a lot of people lining up over there. No rush."
Makoto tightly held the girl's small hand and slowly maneuvered through the crowd.
"You... do you always subconsciously think that I must be a scumbag?"
To Yui's surprise, her thoughts were in line with Yukino's. They both believed that Makoto was definitely here for Kasumigaoka Utaha today.
But he really wasn't...
Even when he asked the three harem questions earlier, he prioritized Yui's question first.
Wasn't that obvious enough?
Unfortunately, both girls acted as if they hadn't noticed.
They really didn't understand his intentions at all.
"To pursue another girl, would I completely disregard your feelings?"
"Um..."
Yuigahama unconsciously nodded her head.
"Ah... no... that's not it..."
Then she quickly realized her mistake and vigorously shook her head.
"..."
Her conflicted expression was clearly evident.
Makoto could only sigh helplessly.
"I like you, Yui, that's why I'm going on a date with you today."
To calm the girl down, Makoto looked into her eyes with a serious expression.
"I enjoy the relaxed feeling when I'm with you, and I like touching your hair."
Well, mainly I want to touch the bun on top.
"I..."
Yuigahama lowered her head and then shyly avoided Makoto's outstretched hand.
"I also agreed to come out because I like it... and also, don't touch it!"
Really, always wanting to mess up my hair...
The girl angrily opened the boy's hand.
No touching allowed.
"Oh..."
He reluctantly withdrew his hand.
No touching the bun on top... is it because there are too many people around?
"So Yui also likes me, huh? I thought you just wanted to be flirtatious with me when we're together..."
"That's clearly my line, isn't it?"
What flirtatious... Clearly, it's this bad guy...
Always wanting to touch my bun, and last night, he even made me take pictures... and do... that kind of thing!
She angrily punched Makoto Amano's shoulder.
"Is Yui feeling shy?"
He grabbed the girl's small fist, so that their hands were brought together, and the girl could no longer make any resistance to him.
"However, now I feel relieved. Yui also likes me..."
"That's also what I wanted to say..."
Although her cheeks were burning with shyness, she felt much more at ease than before they came to the shrine.
Makoto really does like me...
"Also, what are we... exactly?"
So even though their hands were now held by each other, the girl still wanted to have control over the initiative in their relationship.
Especially after knowing his feelings, she had gained a lot of confidence.
She could now ask the questions she had been hesitant to ask before.
"Yui is..."
He smiled and winked.
"My harem partner for now."
"That statement... makes me a little angry..."
She pouted, showing her dissatisfaction.
She thought Makoto Amano would say that they were already boyfriend and girlfriend.
"Today's girlfriend, and future wife."
"Don't add 'today' to the girlfriend part, and as for the wife thing, Makoto, you're really thick skinned! I never said that I would marry you!"
She shyly broke free from his hand and temporarily created some distance between them.
It's a bit hot today...
Yeah, I'm starting to sweat.
The palms of the girl's hands were already sweaty in the boy's hand.
"I... we should go to Yumiko's side quickly..."
Wiping her sweaty palms discreetly on her skirt, Yui resumed the conversation as if nothing had happened.
Talking about topics like "wife" again, she was worried that she would become so shy that she couldn't control herself and do something embarrassing with him...
"Be careful."
"Wuu..."
The crowd on the street suddenly surged again. Yui, who was in the middle almost got knocked down by the crowded people, but fortunately, she was right in front of Makoto Amano, so she just grabbed his body and leaned on him to stabilize herself, avoiding falling.
"Are you okay?"
He glanced at the direction of the crowd's movement, then instinctively embraced the girl who had thrown herself into his arms.
"I'm fine."
The bun, I mean buns on her chest provided enough cushioning for the girl, so she didn't feel any pain from the collision.
However...
When she buried her head in his chest and looked up, she happened to meet his gaze directed at her.
Locking eyes, she quickly realized that Makoto's focus was not on her face, but...
Because she had distributed the weight on her chest to the boy, so... (When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes into you.)
"Pervert..."
From this top-down perspective, Makoto Amano could see a lot of things.
Realizing this, she quickly covered her neckline with her hand.
"Yui is indeed very fair... Ah, no, I mean very jiggly... No, that's not it, I mean, I didn't see anything!"
He was an honest person and never stooped to taking advantage of girls in this way.
However, Yui seemed to be his girlfriend now...
So it was okay.
"Don't look!"
She bumped Amano Makoto's jaw with the top of her head in extreme shyness..
Preventing someone's gaze from intruding further.
"Ouch..."
It worked splendidly.
The shy girl was indeed more irritable, and Makoto Amano almost bit his tongue when she bumped into his chin.
"Okay, let's move on... It's not safe to stay in the crowd all the time. I plan to walk with you to the roadside."
Makoto Amano decided it was better to walk with the girl rather than staying in the crowd.
"And... you're not allowed to look!"
Blushing, she lowered her head and followed behind the boy.
But this time, she took the initiative to hold the boy's arm and carefully completed the act of holding hands.

"Ah... I shouldn't have followed them."
Looking at the couple in the center of the crowd.
Miura Yumiko, who had been waiting at the stall for a long time, couldn't help but sigh, then subconsciously frowned and left the spot feeling annoyed.
As a member of the school's "Refilling group," she had a disturbing thought for the first time: "Normies should die sooner."
Anyway, she couldn't continue being the third wheel, it was better to leave early.
After sending a message to Yui's phone, Miura Yumiko no longer lingered and quickly headed down the hill .
