Her smile is reason enough to act

  For Shinichi, except for his parents who took him there several times as a child, his impressions of zoos basically came from books and various media.

  He didn't know how fun it was to go to the zoo alone, but now he could tell clearly how fun it was to go with a girl.

  For example, in the primate area.

  Nino looked disgusted: "Wow, have you seen that monkey lying on the fence? It looks so perverted, and still doing such indecent behavior…"

  Shinichi nodded and answered: "Maybe we are more like monkeys in their eyes? According to research..."

  "What did you just say, say it again?"

  Nino smiled dangerously.

  Shinichi's expression didn't change.

  "Maybe I'm more like a monkey in their eyes? According to research..."

  Nino waved her hand: "Don't say it, just don't learn it."

  Shinichi's head was full of questions: "Me? Learn? I suspect you are making a serious personal attack on me!"

  For example, in the reptile biome.

  "Wow, what is this turtle doing? Why does it keep shrinking and elongating it head!"

  "Maybe you scared it."

  "Hah? I was just watching from the side, how could I scare it?"

  Shinichi pondered for a long time: "...Oppressive aura?"

  "What do you mean I'm scary? "

  Nino's eyes suddenly widened, and an invisible aura immediately spread out. All the reptiles in the hall, including the crocodiles, began to tremble, some even raised their stomachs, directly showing their submission.

  Shinichi swallowed his saliva, looked at the poor little animals, and changed his tone.

  "According to research in England, if teenage girls are too beautiful it will cause animals to feel fear that has nothing to do with life and death. This is a reaction based on biological instinct."

  "Is it true?" Nino held her rosy cheeks and laughed happily.

  "Hmph, it seems like the makeup I put on today is also effective on animals~"

  Proud eyes swept over the small animals, and no one dared to speak against her.

  Even Shinichi only dared to recite it silently.

  (Of course it's fake, stupid.)

  Another example is in the lion's den.

  "Asada, they say lion packs usually consist of one male and several females." Nino looked at the sign then looked behind the glass wall at the sight of about a dozen lionesses surrounding a male lion.

  "In other words, all the lions are a bunch of harem bastards? Wow, this is really outrageous."

   Shinichi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and explained, "Don't bring human social structures into the animal world. For living creatures, the importance of reproduction is only to continue future generations, how can the efforts they have made be tainted by the word 'bastard'..."

  "Ah yes yes, please stop defending them," Nino glanced at him sideways and snorted, "You have a guilty conscience? You are a human, not a lion."

  Shinichi was half annoyed: "Who has a guilty conscience! I take the common sense of the biological world seriously, you…" Before he finished speaking, Nino turned around and walked straight to the next cage.

  "…Hmph," Shinichi snorted coldly, and followed.

  When the two were tired of walking, they went to sit in the rest area and bought two ice creams from the vending machine there, which was a cone-like chemical product.

  Shinichi ate the mint chocolate flavor, as soon as he bit into it, a chemical smell filled his mouth, making him sigh.

  "Is the chemical formula of this thing the same as dirt?"

  "Is that too much? Let me try it." Nino bit it without hesitation. Shinichi didn't know whether it was intentional or not. She immediately bit into the place he had just eaten.

  "Oops, it smells really chemical... Let me buy you another one."

  "That's not necessary. Actually, I don't really like eating ice," Shinichi looked at the tooth marks on the ice, then looked at the trash can on the side, and simply threw it away.

  Nino looked at the ice cream in her hand, then looked at Shinichi, and seriously considered whether to put the ice cream directly on his face.

  Next, the two of them passed the shopping street. Apart from food, the most popular thing there is the doll shop. All kinds of cute and whimsical stuffed animals were filled inside and outside the shop.

  After they finished lunch, Nino rushed to the doll shop with sparkling eyes.

  "By the way, if we go back to the restaurant now, maybe we can meet Itsuki." Shinichi wasn't interested in the dolls, staring at the busy restaurant behind him, trying to find a group of striking pink haired girls.

  It was now time for lunch, and with Itsuki's stomach, it was impossible for them to leave the restaurant without going into the restaurant.

  On the other hand, Nino didn't care at all, seeing Shinichi still outside the doll shop and refusing to enter, she immediately grabbed his hand and dragged him towards the shelf containing stuffed animals.

  "Didn't I tell you to leave them alone? You are dating me now!"

  Shinichi with an apology on his face: "Sorry, I..."

  "Okay, what animal do you like? Each of us will buy it as a souvenir," Nino's eyes looked at the shelves.

Shinichi pointed at a fat black and white animal.

  "This is it."

  "Panda?" Nino blinked in surprise, "So you like pandas? It was surprising."

  "No, how should I say it…" With an expression that was hard to pronounce, Shinichi scratched his cheek and said, "I don't like animals… Didn't you say that I wanted to keep them as a memento? Of all the animals, I like it better. That impressed me the most, so I chose it."

  (Deepest impression...) Nino blushed. She suppressed the smile at the corner of her mouth. She picked up two pandas, put one into Shinichi's arms, and the other hugged it tightly.

  "Oh, really, I didn't expect you to care that much if I said you looked like a panda~"

  Shinichi: "???"

  (No, when I say impressed, I mean I made a giant stuffed panda with Kirisu Sensei at a temple fair, and Sensei named it Panda...)

  Of course, seeing Nino with joy on her face, Shinichi swallowed back these words and under the envious gazes of the male clerk, he and Nino left the doll shop with the panda doll in hand.

  "Whether it's fun or not, that's not the point. The important thing is whether she is happy or not."

  Her smile was reason enough to act.
