Tokyo: Who would still fall in love after being spoiled?

Chapter 132: When a girl in her teenage years sees a handsome man or a beautiful woman, she probably only thinks about falling in love
When he, Asakura and Xiao Zhu walked into the yukata shop that A-yi had sent the address to, the first thing they saw was A-yi herself sitting on the sofa provided for customers to rest.

Ah-an also saw him, with a look of joy on his face, and walked towards him quickly.

"I thought you were still back home, but I didn't expect you to come back early to help..."

"Waiting for me?" He heard in Ah'an's voice the emotion that only an ordinary, simple-minded male high school student could easily express.

But in fact, he didn't think about doing anything to help. He just brought the Asakura sisters to rent yukata and never thought about meeting A'an.

"Asukaori went to pick up Nekayada-san and hasn't come back yet."

Ah-yi was also wearing a yukata, a common gray style. Most men's yukata choices were similar, and if the streets were only occupied by men during the festival, it might become a sea of gray.

Asakura and Nagisa followed him into the yukata shop, looking around, and had just glanced at the yukata styles hanging in the shop.

"A friend of Inoue-senpai's?" Asakura asked at the right time after hearing them greet each other.

"Ahh! Who is this?" Ah-ah was startled, as if he had just noticed that there was someone else next to him. "You, you... know Inoue?"

"I'm Xiaochu-nee-san," Asakura said, taking the opportunity.

This person is also a master of lying. He is not nervous at all when telling lies, but rather enjoys it.

"This, this..." Ah-yi breathed a sigh of relief and communicated with him through eye contact - you actually have such a beautiful sister?
"Then I am Brother Inoue's sister!" Xiao Nagisa also joined in the fun.

"Wow! Who is this again? No, that's not right, it's a girl?"

"What the hell is 'Wow!'? Have you ever seen a boy as cute as Nagisa?" Nagisa shows a pair of fangs when he smiles.

"We just came in with Xiaochu, and you only noticed it now?" Asakura looked unhappy.

Stop indulging in role-playing, Asakura-nee.

Also, don’t call him Xiaochu anymore; instead, call him “Inoue-senpai”.

"Ah, ah...Sister is so beautiful that I didn't connect you with Inoue for a moment." Ah-yi explained hurriedly.

Why are you using honorifics? What does this mean?
"Where's Xiaozhu? Where's Xiaozhu?"

"Xiao Zhu is also very cute." He couldn't stand it, interrupted the topic, raised his hand and patted Xiao Zhu's head.

"Hmm..." Xiao Zhu didn't expect him to take action. It was as if a switch was pressed and she stopped talking.

"what----"

Ah-yi's eyes were fixed on the fireworks in Xiaozhu's handbag. He was unable to organize his words for a moment, and finally pulled him aside.

"Sorry... I thought you were here to see us... If you don't mind, would you like to come with us? If you mind..."

Just by listening to the sound, he could already feel the embarrassment of Ah-yi's toes clenching when he realized it belatedly.

"do not bother?"

“How could it be…” Ah-yi lowered his head slightly, avoiding his gaze. “Actually, it’s hard to say anything. I still have to rely on the efforts of Yuzi and the others… So today, we’re mainly going to watch the fireworks and stroll around the festival together.

"Actually, if Nekayada-san wants to withdraw of her own accord, as long as she explains it clearly, we'll also... We all just want an answer and don't want to regret it...

"Oh, sorry, I said some random things..."

"It's okay." He looked back and saw that Nagisa was already leading Asakura to choose a yukata.

Wait, this order is actually okay?

He walked over to Asakura and told her the general situation of the wind band.

"Let's go watch the fireworks together?"

"It all depends on you."

"If there are a lot of people, won't they block the entire street if they line up?" Asakura asked curiously.

"It shouldn't be..." He had never been to a festival with too many people, usually only with two or three people, so he could only imagine this scene in his mind.

"How could that be!" Xiao Zhu couldn't stand the two of them and couldn't help but interrupt, "Sister, it's okay, but Inoue brother has never visited a festival with his club friends?"

"I prefer being alone." He wasn't making excuses. If he organized the invitations, it wouldn't be a problem to form a sacrificial army of 20 to 30 people.

"Why should I just let it go..." Asakura said sadly.

"Usually, everyone agrees on a meeting place, and most of the time we hang out with close friends." Nagisa ignored Asakura and explained simply, "It's just like any other club activity."

"That makes sense." He nodded in agreement.

This arrangement is in line with normal people's thinking.

"I'm sorry, Inoue brother...I haven't joined any clubs and don't have many friends, so I don't understand these things... Inoue brother, please don't despise me."

Xiao Zhu inexplicably began to plead for Asakura, with other hidden meanings hidden in her words.

He just pretended not to hear.

From today on, whether he took the initiative or not, he was prying open Asakura's past bit by bit, just like when he met Takeda.

Whether it's his family situation or his campus life, Asakura seems to be living an unsatisfactory life - Asakura is so powerful now that he has never thought of this possibility.

"Anyway, can we do it together?" He ended the question and tried to find out what Asakura himself thought.

His mind was full of thoughts, and many things flashed through his mind that he could do but had no reason to do for the time being.

As for why these thoughts came to his mind, he himself had no idea.

Most of them were just like agreeing to help Asakura with dubbing. There were almost no benefits, but the troubles were predictable and continued.

In the past, he would have let go of such things without hesitation, rejected them easily, and then put them out of his mind.

But this time was different. Not only did many thoughts linger in his mind, they also drove him to actively seek some kind of opportunity. Simply put, as long as there was a reason that was convincing enough for him, he would definitely do those things.

However, he still couldn't figure out how heavy the weight would be to influence the balance...

"That's not a big deal," Asakura replied absentmindedly, nodding slightly.

"As for Nagisa, I'm actually looking forward to being together." As Nagisa spoke, she glanced at Asakura and observed him furtively, "Sister has very little experience interacting with others. She stays in her room almost every day, and only goes out when she's really hungry and has nothing to eat. If this continues, Nagisa is worried that one day she'll degenerate to the point where she can't even speak..."

"How could it be?" If everything Xiao Zhu said was true, he would begin to doubt that the person he had seen before was not the real Asakura.

Whether it was the first time they met in the dormitory, she agreed to a date with him; or later she took the initiative to find him to relax and go to the movies together.

None of them show any fear of socializing like a homebody.

She is quite positive and sunny when chatting on Line. She is a little quieter when having dinner with Kuroki in the rental house, but she still makes people think she is quiet and virtuous.

He had never seen the Asakura that Xiao Nagisa described.

"To put it simply, the general shopping route is the same as that of Xiaochu's friends?" Asakura thought for a moment.

"It's also possible that I'll disappear for a while at some point."

"It's okay, it's okay. Actually, it's okay for Xiaochu to ignore us. Just have fun." Asakura spoke in the tone of the eldest daughter.

"It's worth it..."

After discussing it, he and A-yi made gestures and accompanied Asakura to choose the yukata available for rental in the store.

After walking around, Asakura seemed to really like a yukata. Even though she was told that they didn't offer rental services, she still chose to go into the dressing room to try it on and finally bought it.

A goldfish yukata with a light blue background, a yellow waist belt, and a yellow hairband with a pendant. The bangs are left on both sides, and the remaining hair is tied into a knot with the hairband.

"How is it?" Asakura took a long time to tie her hair, put on her yukata, and turned around in front of him.

He stared at the knot for a long time, unable to discern how it was done. A closer look revealed it to be intricate and ornate, yet securely fastened, revealing Asakura's slender, white neck, a refreshing and lovely sight.

"When I'm not around, you must take care of yourself," he commented seriously.

"Sure." Asakura chuckled.

Xiao Nagisa had already picked out her yukata and went into the dressing room a long time ago, but she didn't cautiously stick her head out until Asakura had tied her hair and knocked on the dressing room door to look for her.

"Don't you like it?" Asakura asked her.

"No..." Nagisa just shook her head.

"Then try something else."

"It's not that I don't like it...it's just..."

"only?"

"Xiao Zhu, you'd better wear casual clothes." Xiao Zhu noticed his gaze and couldn't help blushing.

“…No regrets?”

"Don't ask me that!"

"Then come out, since you're shy."

“Ahhh—never mind…”

With a click, Xiao Zhu retracted his head and closed the door of the locker room.

"What's going on?" He heard the entire conversation clearly, but still asked even though he knew the answer.

"Nagisa isn't very comfortable wearing a yukata," Asakura said. "Or rather, she doesn't dare wear anything she thinks is too cute in front of others."

"Don't you think you're suitable?"

"perhaps……"

On the other side, Asuai and his companions finally brought Maoyata over and reunited with A'an.

Tamura and Suzuka have both changed into yukata and are dressed quite beautifully.

Asukai was wearing shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, and she had her hair tied up in a ponytail, which was a rare occurrence for her.

Nekoyada also had her hair tied in a single ponytail, with side-swept bangs, and wore a simple white dress.

"I was already in my third year of high school when Nagisa and I met." Asakura noticed his gaze, sat down next to him, and suddenly said while looking at Asuai and the others.

"It sounds like there's a lot going on behind this," he continued, signaling that she didn't need to tell him everything.

"A lot of things happened..." Asakura could hear the implication in his words and smiled faintly. "Take me for example. In my third year of high school, I only maintained the minimum attendance standard to go to school. Later, I dropped out of college not long after I started."

"Like this..." He agreed vaguely, and when he saw Tamura noticed him, he froze in place.

Asukai noticed her abnormality and followed suit.

"That's why Xiaozhu has that impression of me."

"Have you ever thought about explaining?" Asuai was already walking towards them, and he spoke subconsciously, somewhat without thinking.

"Well……"

Asakura wanted to say something, but Asuka had already run in front of them.

"Wow wow wow—" Asuka exclaimed, surrounding Asakura like a porcelain doll. "Is this beautiful girl the girlfriend you, that scumbag Inoue, had such a lively conversation with on Line?"

"..."
