Chapter 145

Yukinoshita grabbed a pink apron, which matched Yuigahama's style.

　　"Just this one."

　　Yukinoshita wouldn't be as picky as other girls when buying things, and paid decisively after choosing something.

　　"Too rush." Ryuji was embarrassed, Yukinoshita shopped faster than him.

　　"Is there anything else I need to do?" Yukinoshita asked.

　　....

　　Everyone left the clothing store, and now only Ryuji and Mashiro didn't buy presents.

　　"I have prepared the present," Mashiro said softly.

　　The present she had prepared was a painting, which she had been painting in the service club for the past few days.

　　"Then I'm the only one left." Ryuji thought about what present he should give.

　　Since he had few friends, there weren't many opportunities to give birthday presents. While Eriri or Tomoya immediately gave them a set of light novels or games, Yuigahama was definitely a little more troublesome.

　　About Yuigahama, her biggest feature was her dumpling hair, which was actually really hard to care for, and would fall down over time, so she had to hold it up with something.

　　"So." Ryuji thought about what present to give Yuigahama.

　　He went to a women's jewelery shop and bought a pink headband that Yuigahama could use to tie up her dumpling hair.

　　"Since we've finished shopping, let's head back." Yukinoshita had always acted quickly and decisively, it would have been awkward for her to stay with Ryuji.

　　Ryuji and the other three didn't mind, and prepared to bid Yukinoshita farewell.

　　"Ryuji." Mashiro suddenly pulled Ryuji.

　　"What is it?" Ryuji asked.

　　"I want to go to the bathroom."

　　Ryuji rolled his eyes, why did he feel that Mashiro was becoming more and more like a child, and said that she wanted to go to the toilet, did she want him to take her?

　　"Senpai, I will go with Mashiro, you and Yukinoshita Senpai are waiting here." Mash took Mashiro to the bathroom, turned to wink at Ryuji.

　　As a professional supporter, Mash takes the initiative to help.

　　The corners of Ryuji's mouth twitched. Compared to the first time they met, Mash had really changed a lot, and he felt a little relieved.

"Let's sit and wait." Ryuji pointed at the chair next to him.

　　"Ah, um." Yukinoshita was stunned for a moment, this was her first time alone with Ryuji after that confession, and she was a little nervous.

　　"Are you nervous?" Ryuji asked amusedly.

　　"No." Yukinoshita forcefully pulled herself together, and sat down beside Ryuji, but there was only one person in the middle.

　　Ryuji isn't an impotent light novel protagonist, or a low EQ idiot. At a time like this, it must be a bastard!

　　His hand slowly drew closer to Yukinoshita, and touched hers.

　　"Ah!" Yukinoshita shouted, quickly retracting her hand, and looked at Ryuji in embarrassment.

　　"What are you doing now!"

　　This was Yukinoshita's first time holding the hand of a member of the opposite sex, even if only for a moment, her pretty face was already red.

　　Smiling, Ryuji slowly approached Yukinoshita. The girl kept backing away like a scared bunny until she reached the edge of the chair.

　　"W-What are you going to do?!" Yukinoshita asked nervously, not daring to look Ryuji straight in the eye.

　　"What do you think?" Ryuji eyed Yukinoshita in amusement. To deal with this iceberg-like girl, only active attacks would be effective.

　　He had disdained to use force to coerce ordinary girls, but in the process of shrinking back now, he discovered that Yukinoshita didn't hate him. Otherwise, she would not shrink now, but give a slap in his face.

　　"Yukinoshita, may I call you Yukino?" Ryuji continued to close the distance with Yukinoshita, and finally held her hand again.

　　Yukinoshita struggled a bit, but a strong masculine breath made her struggle less, and finally Ryuji held her entire hand.

　　"No!" Yukinoshita turned her blushing face away. At this moment, she is a victim, as long as she screams at this time, a righteous policeman will come.

　　Yukinoshita would never lie, and found reason in her heart.

　　However, her behavior like this undoubtedly increased the evil side's arrogance, and Ryuji grew increasingly aggressive, almost clinging to Yukinoshita.

　　Ah, today's youth sure are bold. The aunts passing by saw this scene and smiled meaningfully, thinking it was a young couple.

　　It was probably the same in everyone's eyes, because Yukinoshita didn't resist in the least, and couldn't see that she was 'reluctant' at all.

　　"Ara, isn't this Yukino-chan?"

　　When the protagonist is going to succeed, there will always be one or two idiots who come out to disrupt the situation, and this is also the case at the moment.
