Perhaps because Kazami Mei's performance as a keyboardist on stage was quite outstanding, she was approached by several groups of girls in kimonos in less than ten minutes, including high school girls of the same age and even mature older women who came up to ask for her contact information.

Always described as the most 'shy and conservative' Japanese girl, the initiative she showed when she met a handsome guy she liked was far beyond his imagination.

Finally, having no other choice, Kazami Naruto bought a stone mask and put it on. The terrifying and bizarre mask completely covered his face, which greatly reduced the frequency of girls trying to talk to him.

"What on earth is going on?"

Having stood under the signboard for quite some time, Kazami Naruto couldn't help but glance at the time on his phone. Just then, he suddenly felt a hand gently patting his shoulder. Realizing what was happening, he turned his head and spoke in a somewhat wistful tone—

"Wasn't that taking way too long? I've been waiting here..."

Before he could even finish his sentence, his gaze met that of a pair of bright, sparkling, pale pink eyes, which seemed to hold a hint of mockery.

The purple-haired older sister who suddenly appeared was wearing a light gray halter-neck lace-trimmed bodycon dress. Her light purple short hair and tall figure exuded mature charm. After making eye contact with Kazami Ming, she immediately looked over with a smile.

No, who are you, Auntie?

"I'm so sorry~ Have you been waiting for me for a long time, Kazami-kun?"

The older sister who suddenly appeared in front of me was naturally Yutenji Wakana, who was known as 'Nyan Dream'. She pursed her small 'W'-shaped mouth like a cat. Even in a crowded place like this, as an internet celebrity, she only symbolically wore a cat face mask on the side of her face.

Why do you look so surprised?

Her eyes held a hint of cunning as she looked at Kazami Mei, her faint, mischievous smile seemingly overflowing.

Kazami raised an eyebrow slightly, and after a moment's thought, feigned confusion and asked, "Excuse me, who are you?"

"...?"

Yutenji Wakana's smile instantly froze.

She had originally planned to tease the kid a little when she came to test him, but who knew his words would be so unexpected? However, the mature Miaomeng didn't care at all, and just said coquettishly—

"We just met not long ago, right? Well... you actually dare to pretend you don't know me?"

Are you some kind of alien from Babar? Why should I know you?

However, more than suddenly encountering Nyanmu-sensei in this place, Kazami Mei was curious as to why, even though he was wearing the Stone Mask, she could still recognize him.

Is black hair really a debuff in the world of anime?

"So, Miss Yutenji, did you come all this way just to say hello?"

"It's Meow Dream Kiss!"

The purple-haired older sister suddenly revealed her dissatisfaction with a forced smile. Looking at Kazami Naruto's handsome yet somewhat punchable face, she couldn't help but purse her lips. Then, she pretended to be nonchalant and looked around.

With a feignedly cute face and a hint of curiosity, she said, "Of course, it was just a coincidence that we bumped into each other while I was at the temple fair, so I just gave a 'normal' greeting."

"Speaking of which... was Kazami-kun waiting for someone just now?"

These seemingly casual remarks actually contain unexpected probing.

Just now, Yutenji Wakana had already seen Kazami Mei with Hachiman Kairin from the band. The relationship between the two was hard to discern from the surface, and it was possible that she was just overthinking and misunderstanding.

But the fireworks display is just around the corner, so choosing to meet someone at this time carries a completely different meaning.

In her view, even if Toyokawa Shoko didn't have that kind of relationship with Kazami Mei, she at least had feelings for her that were different from those of a 'normal friend'.

If they choose to watch the fireworks together at this time, then their relationship is basically set in stone.

Unexpectedly, Kazami Mei remained calm and stared at her, as if she had already guessed that she would ask such a question. She casually replied in a calm tone, "The person I'm waiting for has arrived."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Yutenji Wakana was slightly taken aback, and then immediately looked curiously in the direction that Kazami Naru was looking.

She had been wondering who Kazami Mei had invited—was it Toyokawa Shoko, Hachiman Kairin, or the young lady of the Wakaba family… or even the current idol, Hatsuka?

Regardless of who Kazami Mei was waiting for here, Meow Meow had already made ample mental preparations, but who knew that as soon as she turned her head, she would see a small pink head.

Meow Dream: ?

The girl who suddenly appeared had striking, smooth, long, straight cherry-blossom hair. She was tall and had a sunny and energetic aura. The moment she saw Kazami Naruto, her crystal-like gray eyes lit up slightly.

However, when she saw Miss Nekomu next to Kazami Mei, the joy on her face quickly turned into confusion, and then after a brief moment of thought, it turned into a little displeasure.

No, who are you?

The exact same idea arose almost simultaneously on both sides.

"Mingming, sorry to have kept you waiting~"

Just standing next to her seemed to radiate energy. Miss Aine revealed her cute little tiger teeth and took light steps to get close to Kazami Mei. Then she looked Yutenji Wakana up and down at close range.

She was about to ask something when her eyes suddenly narrowed. Then, as if to confirm something, she suddenly opened her phone. The moment she looked up again, the girl's mouth was already open.

"what--"

The girl exclaimed in surprise as if she had just realized something, and her beautiful light gray eyes gradually widened.

"No way... Could it be Teacher 'Miaomeng'?! I've been following your channel! I've watched all of Teacher Miaomeng's previous makeup videos and fashion tutorials! I even liked your recent drum video!"

"Eh?"

Yutenji Wakana had already prepared herself to be questioned by Chihaya Aine, but who knew that the other party would throw out such a sentence right away, so she had to swallow back the words she had prepared to say.

When facing her little fans, Miaomeng immediately resumed her professional smile, but before she could even open her mouth and unleash her internet celebrity combo, Chihaya Aine, standing on the other side, suddenly frowned.

"Mingming, do you know Miaomengqin?"

crisis!

The joy of suddenly seeing an online idol was instantly overshadowed by this sudden sense of crisis.

Miao Meng, an online idol, is a true beauty influencer. In terms of fashion trends, Ai Yin mostly learns from others and then makes improvements. But then she suddenly discovers that the person in question actually knows her boyfriend.

This won't do! Chihaya Aine absolutely doesn't want to have any more rivals in love!

"We know each other, but it's only been once."

After a moment's thought, Kazami Mei spoke casually, and his attitude made Miss Meow's smile even more stiff.

What does it mean to say that you 'know' her?

Meow-chan is, after all, a fellow member of AveMujica like Kazami Naruto! According to Toyokawa Shoko, they are supposed to be a "community of shared destiny," even though, strictly speaking, this is only their second meeting—

Kazami's casual tone made Yutenji Wakana feel inexplicably angry!

Logically speaking, shouldn't a naive young man of his age be easily manipulated by the charm of a mature older sister like herself? It seems that Kazami Mei is completely uninterested in her type.

Could it be that he's actually the type who likes playing Azur Lane?

"What Kazami-kun said is true. Actually, we're not that close."

Calm down, calm down!

Miaomengqin is a mature older sister!

"Actually, I only met Kazami-kun once when we were having coffee. I remember him more because he is very good-looking. I just couldn't help but come over and say hello when I saw him."

"The person he was waiting for has arrived! I'm going to continue filming video footage now, so please continue to support my channel in the future!"

The moment Teacher Da Miao uttered those words, she glared at him with considerable displeasure, a look that made Feng Jianming's expression subtly change.

The reason he was rather cold towards Miaomeng was because he didn't like women who liked to fake smiles. He even kept his distance when he was with Miss Su Shi.

Thinking about it now, Teacher Da Miao is quite a troublesome type.

Only after Teacher Da Miao waved goodbye and left did Miss Aine's tense nerves begin to relax.

But when she saw that her boyfriend's eyes were still on Miaomeng's departing figure, she immediately puffed out her cute, bun-like cheeks in dissatisfaction, and her slightly resentful gaze swept over him.

What? As her boyfriend, he's ignoring her and staring at other women?

Miss Aine also looked at the figure of Nyanko-sensei gradually disappearing in the distance, and at the same time couldn't help but glance at the subtle curve of her chest, which could be described as the Kanto Plain. The girl pursed her lips slightly, feeling somewhat unwilling.

After hesitating for a moment, Chihaya Aine finally couldn't help but speak—

"...Mingming, do you prefer bigger ones?"

What is this nonsense? !

Kazami Mei, who had been falsely accused of using XP, suddenly widened her dark eyes.

How could he possibly indulge in such vulgar desires! A young girl's charm isn't about any so-called 'pre-existing armor'; for example, Lixi's figure is superb, and Boqi's figure is top-notch—

"I don't care about any of that."

"Huh? Is it true?"

"Even Dingzhen from Litang isn't as genuine as me!"

Miss Aine couldn't help but frown as she listened to Kazami Naruto's resolute and serious declaration, feeling that there was something suspicious about his words...

She had heard from many friends that boys like voluptuous women, but Chihaya Aine is still very, very young and has much greater potential than the already adult Nekomushi!

If all else fails, you can try the methods that have been rumored to exist...

However, to test this method, you still need to successfully win over Naruto first!

"Speaking of which, did Mingming forget what she was supposed to say?"

She had been looking forward to it since the way here. The pink-haired girl raised her head slightly like a proud white swan, deliberately squinting her crystal-like gray eyes as she waited for something.

Kazami Mei, who immediately saw through her thoughts, couldn't help but smile. Then, she coughed and adopted an admiring and serious posture: "The performance went very smoothly this time, and the costumes were also thanks to Aine-sama's help."

"Huh huh huh~"

"As expected of Lady Aine, she accomplished what we couldn't do with ease!"

As Aine was being praised to the point of elation, a smug expression gradually appeared on her pretty face. With her hands on her hips, she was thoroughly enjoying Kazami's praise. Kazami even suspected that as long as he kept talking, he could keep praising Aine until she obediently came home with him.

"By the way, to express my gratitude, would you please invite Ms. Aine to the celebration party later?"

"Of course, no problem~ But... I have one small request!"

Miss Aine, who gently extended her thumb and forefinger to make a 'pinch' gesture, had a sly look on her face and a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

Kazami Mei had already guessed that this pink-haired girl would make him sign some unequal treaty, so he wasn't surprised. He just nodded thoughtfully, mimicking Hai Ling's expression.

"any request?"

As long as it's not something like having him fight Ryomen Sukuna, the problem shouldn't be too big.

"This... I'll keep it a secret for now."

Chihaya Aine, who was about to say something, swallowed her words back in the end. She had originally planned to directly ask Kazami Mei to go on a date with her, but doing so would be too obvious.

Most importantly, one's actions may also be discovered by others through some means.

This rare 'trump card' should only be used in situations where a single blow can deliver a fatal blow!

However, this doesn't mean that Chihaya Aine only plans to do these things. The most important part of the so-called "Summer Fireworks Festival" is, of course, the romantic fireworks, and it's not quite time to celebrate the end of the band's aftermath yet.

She should make good use of this opportunity to be alone for a while.

"Come to think of it, I've never really been to a temple fair before. Perfect timing, Mingming, why don't you come keep me company?"

As a way of saying thank you, isn't that a matter of course?

……

hum-

While accompanying the pink-haired girl to the temple fair, Kazami Naruto suddenly received a Line text message on his phone. He glanced at Aine, who was engrossed in the apple candy stall, and then, to avoid leaving a 'read' message, deliberately did not open Line and checked the message directly on his locked phone.

[Nagasaki Motoyo: Naruto-san, you should still be on the streets of the festival, right?]

Upon seeing this message, Kazami Naruto raised an eyebrow. Just from this sentence, he could guess that Ms. Momo was probably near the temple fair. If it was the Nagasaki Momo who dared to confess right away, he could basically imagine what the purpose of sending this message was.

"...Waaah, so the so-called golden apple candy was just a scam to rip people off!"

After carefully selecting the candy, Miss Aine couldn't help but let out a series of mournful cries. She had originally thought she could take this opportunity to find the legendary golden apple, but then pretended not to care and ate it with Mingming beside her.

It turns out this thing is a complete scam, a fake urban legend!

"Mingming, I want to eat chocolate bananas too!"

"There's a celebration banquet later, so you'd better save some room."

Kazami Mei held his phone and couldn't help but complain. The pink-haired girl in front of him heard him and said something like, "Desserts are a girl's second stomach," which was just a sophistry. Kazami Mei then stared at the information on his phone screen, thinking about what to do.

Although it might sound a bit absurd, Kazami Mei senses that Ms. Suze has a crush on him.

If Miss Su Shi really confesses to him like in the simulation, should he accept or not?
