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

Chapter 133: Inoue chose to save money to buy a house between Yukata and casual clothes

Not to mention reality, even if this kind of plot appears too many times in light novels, it would become boring, right?

Why does he always take the trouble to explain this kind of thing...

"No."

"I am Xiaochu's sister." Asakura seemed to like this feeling very much.

"what--"

Asukai opened his mouth wide, his eyes moving back and forth between him and Asakura, pausing for a long moment, his arrogance subsiding.

"Hello, Inoue-sister..."

"Xiaochu's friend?"

"Well...well..."

"I'm the leader of the trumpet section, and these are my team members."

He spoke first and distanced himself from the matter.

"--Hello!"

"wrong?"

"Well, it's pretty much what Inoue said..."

As long as relatives of either party are present and one of them is unfamiliar, the conversation will become restrained.

This was the case now, even though Asakura was only pretending to be his sister.

"So, Inoue, you just happened to be here?"

"A-yi thought I was here to help him find a solution, so he's already forced us to join him. Don't worry."

He gave a brief explanation, threw a basin of dirty water at the same time, and continued asking questions.

"Is the entire wind band here?"

"how come……"

Asukai told him all the names. Not counting himself, Asakura and Konagisa, there were seven or eight people. In addition to the trumpet group and euphonium group he knew, there were also two third-year girls.

"The festival is over, and we're looking for a quiet place, but we don't have a clue why..."

"Why do you want to keep Nekayada-san?"

"Ah."

"...Don't look at me like that. You haven't even found a reason to ask me to help you find a solution."

"Who needs you? You're just being sentimental."

Asukai was successfully pissed off by him, and her ears were quiet again.

On the other side, Nagisa had changed back into her regular clothes and poked her head out of the locker room again, looking at Asakura for help.

Asakura moved closer, and the two sisters began to whisper.

Surrounded by several girls, Nekoyada started choosing yukata styles for rent. Suzuka and Tamura had already changed into yukata before coming and were standing nearby chatting.

At first, they offered some advice, but couldn't squeeze forward, so they simply went to the rest area together. With Tamura leading the way, they naturally sat down next to him, occupying nearly three-quarters of the space.

"You're not going to change into a yukata?"

The two chatted for a few sentences until they ran out of topics to talk about, and then suddenly asked him.

"trouble."

If he were asked to change into the rental house in advance, he would be willing to do so with all his might.

"The store provides free storage..." Suzuka kindly reminded.

"Ensemble practice starts tomorrow, and it's hard for me to find time to return the yukata."

"Not tonight?" Tamura asked.

"A question," he said, watching Asukai push Nekayada into the dressing room, "If you return the yukata before the store closes tonight, what reason will you have to keep Nekayada-senpai?"

Returning the yukata and changing into regular clothes, in a sense, also implies that the festival is officially over and it is time to return to daily life.

The daily routine of the wind band is ensemble practice, preparing for the competition in three days and the Kanto Competition in September; Nekayada's daily routine is to continue to take supplementary lessons and study, using the less than a year left to improve his grades and take the unified examination to enter a better university.

Only when completely different daily lives converge at special times such as festivals and festivals do they have reasons to persuade or interfere with each other.

The implication of returning the yukata may seem insignificant, but it is exactly the weight that the members of the brass band do not want to put on the scale.

Suzuka and Tamura naturally understood this from his words and fell silent.

"Honestly, we haven't figured it out yet." Suzuka looked towards the locker room where Nekoyada was. "How can we find the opportunity and reason to talk to Nekoyada-senpai..."

"How about briefly sorting out the requirements? For example, time and location."

Asakura himself was pulled into the locker room by Nagisa. He was free for a while, so he used Tamura and Suzuka to pass the time.

"...Before going home?" It can be heard that Minister Suzuka really has no idea about this matter, and even his mental state is as unmotivated as usual.

"After the fireworks display and before the end of Obon," said Tamura.

"As for the location, at least it should be quiet." At some point, A'an slipped next to Suzuka and suddenly interrupted.

"Ah!" Suzuka was startled.

"Well... I didn't say that just now... the yukata is very beautiful, Miko." A'an scratched his head and avoided Suzuka's hostile gaze.

"The beautiful one is Miko," Tamura corrected.

"So Miko looks more beautiful in a yukata than usual," A'an said immediately.

"Let's not talk about that! Now let's talk about how to keep Nekayada-senpai." It turns out that this is the only way to see another side of Minister Suzuka. He unexpectedly learned this useless knowledge, and this trip was a gain for him.

Suzuka waved her hands around as if she couldn't stand it anymore, then used her authority as the head of the wind band to get the discussion back on track.

"Anyway, let's think about what conditions are needed and how to create an opportunity for Nekayada-senpai to have another serious chat with us," she said.

"Ah! Um..." Ah'an responded in panic.

"Think along with Inoue-san. Don't forget that you are now the leader of the trumpet group and have an obligation to be responsible for the club."

"That's what you say, but if I say I can't think of it, Minister Suzuka won't be able to do anything to me." He kept staring at the locker room where Asakura and Nagisa were together, wondering whether Nagisa would come out of it wearing a yukata.

There are always so many things in the world that are in an unobserved state, providing people with an endless cycle of reasoning and thinking to kill time.

"So, you actually already have a solution?"

"I'm sorry." He shook his head and continued asking, "Have you decided on a person to negotiate with?"

"Hmm...if we don't go together, it'll probably be me or Asukai-san."

"Are they on good terms?" When he first joined the wind band, Asuka had made it clear to him that it was none of her business.

Suzuka didn't respond, and Tamura nodded.

"Probably the same as me and Yu Zi." A'an interjected.

"It should be at least dozens of times better, how can it be the same?" Suzuka retorted unhappily.

"If that's the case, wouldn't that be enough time to get home?"

"That's the problem..." Suzuka sighed, "No one lives near Nekayada-san's house, so it would seem too deliberate for anyone to do this."

Asakura and Nagisa finally came out of the locker room, and his conversation with Suzuka and the others stopped.

Nagisa finally changed into a yukata and asked Asakura to help her tidy up her hair. She tied it into a bun and put on a hairpin with a big bow. She would never be mistaken for a boy again.

"How is it?" Xiao Zhu was pushed by Asakura and came to him.

"Ah-an, how about I hire you as a bodyguard for 5,000 yen?"

"Huh?!" This person's reaction was really slow. If he were on the court, I wonder how many passes he would have missed.

"No!" Even Xiaozhu was better at catching the ball than him, "Why can't Inoue brother be my bodyguard?"

"Xiaochu has decided to protect me." Asakura's eyes moved back and forth between A'an, Suzuka and Tamura. He took over the pass and even enjoyed it.

“Ah! How could this happen!”

"What the hell... I want to watch the fireworks with Yu Zi, how can I be your bodyguard?" A'an didn't finally understand, but just subconsciously complained and refused.

"Ah... Asami, I wonder how Nekayada-senpai is doing. Let's go check on her..." Suzuka stood up from the sofa as if she couldn't stand it anymore.

“…Yeah.” Tamura also joined in.

"Hey, wait for me..." A'an followed behind and left.

"It looks like the effect isn't very good." Asakura sat down where Tamura originally sat and teased with a smile.

"After all, no matter how hard outsiders try, the only ones who can influence the situation are the parties involved."

"Does that mean the girl doesn't actually like him?"

"How would I know?" He shrugged and stood up from the sofa.

Suzuka and the others got the wrong direction from the beginning. To Nekoyata, who voluntarily withdrew from the wind band, all of them were outsiders, no matter who they were.

The only one who can make her speak is herself, and the only way to influence her is to break into the situation and add weight to the other side of the scale.

The weight that allows her to choose to speak and the weight that allows her to choose to change her mind.

Although persuasion based on the fact that we were once members of the wind band has some weight, it is still too light on the scale.

Anyway, packing weights doesn't make it heavier...

What they need is a heavier weight to tip the scales...

"Senior Inoue, aren't you going to change into a yukata?" Asakura asked when he saw him about to leave.

"I can only return it tomorrow after borrowing it, which is really troublesome."

"You can just buy it... Oh, I can also pay for Inoue-senpai and count it as writing material expenses."

"Even if you buy it, don't you have to store it and pick it up later?"

He has long been accustomed to the practice of light novel authors recording any expenses that are even slightly related to their works as tax-free items.

Hei Mu recorded all the expenses for drawing cards in the community game on the bill, and even added a supporting character in the novel with a similar setting to the character drawn in the current community game.

Nor is there any fear that the game company will file a complaint with the Copyright Office.

"Just give me your email address and have the store mail it directly to your home." Asakura familiarly explained to him the convenient services that clothing stores usually provide.

"It will cost a lot of money, sister..." Xiao Zhu asked in a low voice with some concern.

As she put on her yukata, Nagisa's voice seemed to become softer.

"It's only a few hundred yen."

"Where's the yukata?"

"A yukata is only a few thousand or tens of thousands of yen." Asakura said generously.

He thought she was taking the opportunity to show off how great her sales were, but she was actually making fun of him.

"Your brother Inoue costs 30,000 to 40,000 yen just to draw one illustration."

"Wow! That's amazing..."

"I won't buy it either. I still need to save money to buy a house." All the excuses had been blocked by Asakura. Even if he said that, if Asakura insisted on letting him wear a yukata, she could just pay for him.

"It's so heavy..." Xiao Zhu sighed in a way that a girl of her age shouldn't sigh.

Asakura looked at him, his expression flickering, but he didn't insist any longer.

"Then I can only wish that Inoue-senpai can save enough money to buy a house soon."
