Furuhashi Fumino is so cute Come on, repeat it to me

　　"Don't worry, it might be impossible to escape unscathed, but at least she won't be bald anymore."

　　Shinichi said casually, and glanced at Rizu behind him, he covered her head with his hands, pressed her hair, and looked at her warily.

　　Seeing a slight change in Shinichi's expression, Fumino asked with concern: "What's wrong?"

　　"No…" Shinichi hesitated for a moment, and shook his head, "It's okay, let's go first. Furuhashi, if you can't get the doll, don't push it. Dopamine leads to the gambling effect."

　　Fumino was surprised: "I understand the effects of gambling… What is dopamine?"

　　"Dopamine... Meant to make you restrain yourself and not throw all your money into the machine."

　　Shinichi stopped and said helplessly.

　　"Oh…" Fumino nodded in understanding, then smiled brightly, "I know, thank you Asada-san, for reminding me!"

　　With his back to Fumino, Shinichi took out his cell phone and said a few words to Rizu, then took her out of the claw machine area.

　　Fumino watched the back of her friend and the boy she loved leaving together.

　　The smiles as they watched them leave grew weaker, until the backs of the two disappeared.

　　"Even though I've made mental preparations..."

　　She patted her left chest.

　　She looked down and smiled helplessly.

　　"But here, it hurts a little..."

　　She really didn't want to get used to it, but if it was possible, she should get used to it until she completely forgot about it, or could laugh amidst the pain.

　　Seeing the cute dolls on the claw machine, the interest and excitement just left.

　　"I've changed everything, just played a few times..."

　　At this time, the phone suddenly vibrated.

　　She took it out and looked at Shinichi, who had just left with Rizu.

　　"I forgot to say, if someone with evil intentions comes to harass you, the first is to strongly resist, and the second is to ask for help. If you send three stickers in a row, I'll treat you as if you were in a pinch. Please be ready at all times."

　　Then, order other additional items.

　　"Safety is the most important thing when you go out to play, don't worry about holding dolls and ignore your personal safety."

　　Fumino stared at the message on her phone.

　　Like Shinichi just now, Fumino looked around the surroundings at the claw machine area. Most of them are men, some look like otaku without any threat, and some are accompanied by female friends, but it's more than that. Tattoos on his body and dyed hair like delinquents roaming the halls.

　　Although the place was quite lively, and there were surveillance cameras everywhere, the lawless and arrogant temperament that radiated from him made people instinctively feel afraid, and subconsciously wanted to retreat.

　　Fumino is also like this.

　　Because of her family relationship, she was not good at dealing with men with this kind of strong aura since she was a child. She always held the idea that it would be fine if she didn't contact him.

　　If she hadn't been immersed in the doll's cuteness and hadn't paid attention to her surroundings, she might have left here with the two people regardless of their original purpose.

　　Only just...

　　But now, for some reason, her legs couldn't move at all.

Fumino suddenly crouched down, with her head resting on her knees, her cell phone pressed against her forehead.

　　A handsome young man with a bag on his back just passed by, he was shocked. Taking two steps back, looking at Fumino on the floor in surprise.

　　"Are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?"

　　 Fumino shook her head, her face still buried between her thighs, and all that could be seen was her reddish-looking ears.

　　The handsome young man was afraid that something had happened to her, and when he was about to reach out and touch her, Fumino raised her head and smiled embarrassedly.

　　"Sorry, I was a little too happy for a while... I'm fine, thank you for your concern."

　　The young man looked at her blankly, unable to say anything for a moment.

　　Because that happy smile was more surprising than any beautiful sight he had ever seen.

　　In the end, he could only say "Oh…" and leave here as if lost in his soul.

　　Fumino didn't look at him again, but read the message Shinichi sent carefully.

　　The more she looked it, the more she smiled.

　　She groaned softly.

　　"What else did you just forget to say? You're obviously too shy to say it directly…"

　　"Oh, you care about me but don't dare to say it directly... I'm used to it, Asada-san, this fool..."

　　The top of the phone was slowly placed on her forehead, Fumino closed her eyes, smiled slightly, and muttered.

　　"I keep thinking you'll leave, but in the end you're always here..."

　　△

　　"Shinichi-san, it looks like there's an event being held there."

　　"Hm, what's wrong?" Shinichi put down his cell phone, imagining how the Fumino man would react when she saw the message, Shinichi answered casually.

　　"In those activities, it seems that points can be exchanged for prizes… One of them is a board game that has long been out of print. Discarded because the gameplay was too simple and boring. It may not be sold, it is discontinued early and the inventory is burned."

　　Rizu raised her glasses and said calmly: "Even though no one plays it anymore, the game itself has only collection value. However, since I found it here, it means I can't pretend I haven't seen it and just let it linger in the dust of that showcase."

　　"...So?"

　　Shinichi's expression became helpless, and from Rizu's passionate tone, he already knew what the other party wanted to say.

　　Rizu averted her heated gaze from the prize display case.

　　She pulled Shinichi's sleeve and said in a trembling voice.

　　"Shinichi-san, come and participate! Let's take back the prize!"
