Why do they take Tokyo's boyfriend rental seriously?

Chapter 39 Word Game (Revised)

After answering their questions, Ryuichi Sugawara did not return to the used musical instrument store, but walked along the street.

Although he felt a little guilty for just looking and not buying in a store, he had finally managed to get out and didn't want to fall into the quagmire again.

This quagmire, of course, refers to the situation where he was surrounded by shop assistants and customers after playing a song.

Although he was very concerned about being followed by Yuki Takanashi and others, and realized the seriousness of the problem at the first time, after dealing with it, he felt that overall, it was not a bad thing.

The fact that these four people followed him really taught him a lesson.

In the past, he only thought about studying hard to get into the University of Tokyo. He didn't care about the situation around him and lacked vigilance.

It's understandable that he was caught off guard before.

After all, there are not so many spectators in this world. Besides, he has nothing to fear if he is found out and he has not done anything bad.

But things are different now. Even if he is very thick-skinned and thinks that he doesn't care if his classmates find out about being a rental boyfriend, he doesn't care.

But considering the privacy of the guests, it is better for me to pay more attention to the surrounding situation in the future to avoid unnecessary trouble.

"I wonder if the treasure chest can reveal professional-grade anti-tracking technology..."

Thinking of this, Sugawara Ryuichi couldn't help but talk to himself as he walked along the street.

----

The four people outside the store did not leave.

"What should we do now?"

After hearing her good friend's explanation, Ishiguro Aine, who had fully realized the problem, looked up at the second-hand musical instrument store, then looked around the unfamiliar streets, not knowing what to do next.

Originally, she wanted to follow him to the end and see what was going on with this guy Ryuichi Sugawara.

But because of the sudden exposure, they were unable to continue tracking.

In the past, after school they would usually go to karaoke bars, coffee shops, dessert shops, etc.

Now starting from this unfamiliar place, she felt a little confused.

"That's all for now, let's just go home today."

After thinking about it, Yoshino Sakai also expressed her opinion.

"Hey, are we going back like this?"

Yuki Takanashi was surprised to hear this decision.

"Why don't you go back? Do you still want to follow him?"

Yoshino Sakai was a little puzzled when she found out that she had a different opinion.

"No, my idea is that since we're here so rarely, why don't we just hang out here? This is Ochanomizu Musical Instrument Street, a paradise for music lovers, with lots of interesting things."

Yuki Takanashi was suddenly shocked by this statement and quickly denied it.

"That's right."

Utada Yoko didn't want to go back so soon and wanted to stay here for a while longer.

"Forget it, it would be embarrassing if Sugawara Ryuichi found us shopping here."

Ishiguro Aine disagrees with this decision.

Although she was angry but dared not say anything just now, but since her stalking was exposed, she really didn't want to face Ryuichi Sugawara again.

“Aine is right… If you really want to play on this street, why don’t we come back another time?”

Yoshino Sakai agreed with her opinion, but considering Yuki and Qiongzi's feelings, she also proposed a compromise plan.

"Eh...if Sugawara-san isn't here, then why would we bother coming back another day?"

Utada Yoko wanted to stay a little longer.

“Don’t be a nympho!!”

Finding that she was starting to act crazy again, Ishiguro Aine pinched her cheeks with her hands and started rubbing them in annoyance.

"Okay then, come back another day."

There was no need to consider the opinions of the fangirls. Two against one, the minority obeyed the majority. Yuki Takanashi found that they didn't want to stay here any longer, so she obeyed their wishes.

"Let's go quickly. I want to drink milk tea."

Having settled the matter, Sakai Yoshino nodded and turned to leave. "Time to go, you little nympho."

Ishiguro Aine dragged Utada Yoko to keep up.

"..."

Before catching up with them, Yuki Takanashi couldn't help but look back at the street corner in the distance.

That street corner was where Ryuichi Sugawara disappeared. Because they had been staying in the same place, they could no longer see each other.

If possible, she actually wanted to see Ryuichi Sugawara's performance again.

The electric guitar version of "Lemon" just now really amazed her and is unforgettable.

What made her most regretful was that she was being followed at the time and could only hide far away and couldn't even get close to see.

----

Based on his actual experience in the first store, Ryuichi Sugawara liked the feeling of playing the guitar and decided to buy a brand new electric guitar.

Ochanomizu Musical Instrument Street truly lives up to its name.

He walked along the street and looked around, seeing all kinds of musical instrument stores.

Many shop windows were filled with guitars or other musical instruments that were exquisitely crafted and in excellent condition, which made Sugawara Ryu's eyes widen and he couldn't help but go into the store to take a look.

Because the price of a good guitar starts at hundreds of thousands of dollars, Ryuichi Sugawara did not make a hasty decision and just buy one at random, but went shopping from one store to another.

Anyway, he didn't have a date today and had plenty of time, so it was okay for him to walk around for a while longer.

It took Ryuichi Sugawara nearly two hours to carefully select a satisfactory guitar, which cost 220,000 yen and was still a Fender brand.

In addition to the guitar, he also bought a lot of accessories.

When he entered the store, he was carrying only a schoolbag on his shoulder, but when he left the store, he was carrying a lot of bags.

"With so many things, let's talk about buying a camera later..."

Standing at the door of the musical instrument store, Ryuichi Sugawara saw what he was holding and gave up his plan to buy everything in one day.

Thinking of this, he stopped wandering around and went back to the station.

It was 18:27 p.m., the evening rush hour in Tokyo.

The closer you get to the station, the more people there are.

Carrying a lot of bags, Ryuichi Sugawara joined the crowd and walked down the stairs.

However, before he could follow the crowd to line up in front of the platform, a female voice rang out from the side:

"Sugawara-san."

Hearing his own name, Sugawara Ryu instinctively looked in the direction of the voice.

I saw a girl leaning against the wall at the entrance of the stairs. She was wearing the girls' uniform of Takeno High School with a jacket tied around her waist. She had beautiful long golden hair, big blue eyes, and a delicate and pretty face. Her small lips were embellished with lipstick, making her look extremely delicate and attractive.

This hot blonde girl just stood there, and she was a beautiful sight.

After seeing the other person's appearance clearly, a name popped up in Sugawara Ryuichi's mind.

Yuki Takanashi.

After recognizing the other person's identity, he subconsciously looked around, but could not see her three sisters.

"Are you waiting for me?"

Seeing this, Sugawara Ryuichi spoke to confirm.

"You just said not to follow you, but you didn't say I can't wait for you, right?"

After he revealed her purpose in one sentence, Yuki Takanashi stopped leaning against the wall and walked forward with her hands crossed behind her, nodding in acknowledgment.

Because of the regret in her heart, she finally did not go back with her friends, but found an excuse to stay.

"Yes."

Faced with her word game, Sugawara Ryuichi did not deny it.

"Hehe~"

Finding that he was not angry, Yuki Takanashi looked at him with a smile in her eyes, with a cunning look as if she had succeeded in a trick.
