"No."

Seemingly worried that Kazami Naruto might misunderstand his meaning, the little wooden boy, who had been looking blankly, shook his head in a fluster.

She had been looking forward to her 'date' with Ming for a very, very long time.

However, he was always busy with band work during the summer vacation. Perhaps when Kazami Mei finally had some free time, as Miss Wakaba, she might not be able to accept the invitation because of piano lessons and other classes.

I didn't want to cause him any trouble, and I didn't want him to come despite being tired.

So even though he had to keep waiting, Wakaba Mutsu didn't complain at all.

"Since that's the case, let's take advantage of today and have some fun!"

Seeing through Wakaba Mutsu's hidden thoughts, Kazami Mei's face showed a slight hint of smugness.

In fact, Kazami Mei had already planned a date with her beforehand. The seemingly obedient and cute little wooden girl was actually surprisingly wild inside. For her, perhaps the 'novel' things were the most interesting.

Ruoye Mu stared blankly at her right hand, which was being held, and obediently followed behind him.

This feeling of excitement, with her heart gradually racing, filled her with an anticipation she had never experienced before.

"Meow meow meow? Isn't that Naruko? There seems to be someone else..."

Chapter Thirty-Two: I like it when Ming does this.

Even at the end of the hot summer vacation, the amusement park was still bustling with activity. After buying their tickets, Kazami Mei held Wakaba Mutsu's hand and walked through the crowd to enter the amusement park.

The little wooden figure beside him, who had just entered, stared blankly ahead like a cucumber. Even though he tried to control his gaze, he couldn't help but look around.

"Has Xiaomu never been to an amusement park before?"

"No."

The girl with light green hair simply shook her head slightly; it seemed she had hardly ever been to an amusement park before.

She occasionally appears in similar public places, always with her smiling parents. This is the first time she has come here purely for 'playing,' which gives Wakaba Mutsu a strange sense of rebellion.

The already high level of anticipation gradually rose with this feeling.

Kazami Mei also vaguely felt that the little wooden hand gripped her hand a little tighter. Even in this weather, her little hand was still as delicate and smooth as ice and jade. The slightly tightened grip seemed to be a symbol of some insecurity.

So he didn't hesitate to squeeze back slightly.

Old Man Ruoye has never even brought Little Wooden Head to an amusement park, so I'm definitely going to be that blondie—

"..."

Noticing the movement, Ruoye Mu slowly raised her head, her deep golden eyes staring straight at him without wavering.

The sudden movement made Kazami Mei think that she had pinched the other person too hard, so she quickly loosened her grip and apologized immediately, "Sorry, did I hurt you?"

The girl, as beautiful as a doll, opened her mouth slightly, then shook her head vigorously.

"No, I like it when Ming does it."

After saying that, Xiao Mutou slightly adjusted the position of her fingers, changing the original holding action to a tightly interlocked ten fingers, as if she was worried that Feng Jianming would run away, so she deliberately increased the strength while holding hands.

Such a straightforward expression of feelings and a double attack should have been very destructive, but Kazami Mei, who should have been broken down, just chuckled and raised her right eyebrow.

This triggered a counter-attack.

It was just a date with a cute and obedient little wooden boy, and he was quite confident, having prepared for it months in advance.

His constant contact with the adorable Miss Wakaba has gradually made him more resistant to her. Even Xiao Mu's 'genuine feelings', which can inflict real damage at any time, are no longer an invincible trump card!

Thinking of this, Kazami Naruto, feeling a bit smug, couldn't help but chuckle and say, "Then let's hurry up and have some fun, since we've finally managed to come to a place like this..."

"Shouldn't we just go straight for the 'excitement'?"

Ruo Yemu tilted her head in confusion, seemingly pondering the meaning of his words.

Somewhat puzzled, the little wooden girl was pulled by Kazami Naruto to a ride. Watching the roller coaster rushing overhead with its ear-piercing screams, the girl, who was as cute as a doll, slightly opened her mouth.

Seeing the curious look in Wakaba Mutsu's eyes, Kazami Mei, who was already intrigued, asked, "Want to give it a try?"

Riding a roller coaster should be a novel experience for Xiao Mutou, and as long as he doesn't run into a high school detective with his girlfriend on it, the safety is quite reliable.

You know, Xiao Mu usually likes hardcore heavy metal and similar music, so maybe she'll be interested in this kind of thing too?

Originally lost in thought, Wakaba Mutsu immediately nodded her little head. Before Kazami Mei could even get ready, she took the initiative to pull her to line up. In the blink of an eye, the two of them had successfully boarded the roller coaster seats.

But the moment the two sat down, Kazami Mei suddenly realized something was wrong.

No, why does this seatbelt feel a bit loose?

"Mu——"

Before Kazami could finish speaking, the roller coaster beneath him shot off, leaving him no choice but to hold the little wooden figure beside him tightly in his arms to protect it.

The instant the car reversed, he slowly reached for his phone, preparing to post a video of himself with a Mi Mouse online and see if the Ministry of Justice could send a helicopter to rescue him.

blah blah blah...

As sparks continued to rise from the tracks, the roller coaster, which had spiraled twice in the sky, finally came to a gradual stop.

Finally getting out of the car, Kazami Naruto, sweating profusely, loosened his grip on the little wooden figure in his arms. Only then did he suddenly notice that the sign on the exit board actually read that the 'seat belt' was just a decoration for the amusement park ride.

No, wasn't this the Amagi Glory Amusement Park before?

As Kazami Mei continued to complain in his mind, his expression gradually returned to normal. After all, he had personally experienced being hit by a large truck, so a mere roller coaster was quite easy for him.

Only then did Kazami Mei realize what was happening and quickly looked down at Wakaba Mutsu in his arms. Even though he had loosened his grip on her, the girl with light green hair still buried her head tightly in his chest.

This made Kazami Mei panic a little, and she quickly asked to comfort him, "Mu, are you alright?"

Ruoye Mutsu gently shook her head, her earlobe pressed against his chest. The petite doll-like girl, her pretty face slightly flushed, simply felt his heartbeat in her arms. Then, she slowly raised her head, revealing only two calm, bright golden eyes.

She spoke softly and somewhat haltingly—

"...I'd like to try again."

My heart felt like it had stopped beating.

At this moment, Kazami Naruto was being stared at by the adorable, blank gaze from below, and he couldn't take his eyes off the little wooden boy at all. He didn't even notice the gazes that were quietly gathering from the crowd in the distance.

Wearing sunglasses, Yutenji Wakame was secretly following behind with a milk tea in her hand. Perhaps because the amusement park was so crowded during the holiday, she found it particularly difficult to move around in the crowd.

Especially knowing that Kazami's intuition was exceptionally sharp, and that they could only secretly follow behind from a distance, even Nyanmu couldn't help but complain as the crowd grew larger and larger.

"There are way too many people here!"

Why did she suddenly decide to come over?

As an internet celebrity, she naturally has to search for materials everywhere to increase the number of video views, but every time she goes to search for materials, she always runs into that kid Kazami Naruto!

The main problem wasn't that she always managed to run into him, but that every time she did, she managed to catch him catching a girl on a date!

At first, Miaomeng only thought that Toyokawa Shoko had an ambiguous relationship with him, but later she found out that he could even be associated with a cool girl like Hachiman Kairin who always had a cold and aloof face, and even the current super popular idol 'Hatsuka' had a close relationship with him...

Now they even have to add Nanami Mori's daughter, Miss Wakaba?

"Are you kidding me? He actually managed to seduce someone like Mutsuko, who's all emotionless and taciturn?"

Yutenji Wakana took a sip of her milk tea with a strange expression. After seeing it with her own eyes, her mood became slightly complicated.

What a mess of band relationships!

I should have known better than to get on this pirate ship!

"Why is Naruko so gentle to all the girls in the band, but always so indifferent to me?"

Feeling that her self-esteem and charm had been severely damaged, Miao Meng couldn't help but click her tongue.

She didn't feel anything for young boys like Kazami Mei; aside from his face, she didn't like his personality at all. But the fact that he treated her differently made her very unhappy.

Wait, why can't I see anyone in the blink of an eye?!

……

In high spirits, Wakaba Mutsu, like a tireless child, dragged Kazami Mei along to experience all sorts of amusement facilities.

Especially when he's riding on the carousel and making a peace sign with a blank expression, his adorable expression is just too cute, almost making him melt away with cuteness.

Before she knew it, Wakaba Mutsu had a light-colored cat-ear hat on her head. Perhaps it was because it was a souvenir given to her by Kazami Mei, so Wakaba Mutsu cherished it very much and even wanted to wear it on her head all the time.

He took more than a dozen sets of photos before he was finally satisfied.

"...Ming, would you like some crepes?"

A soft, gentle voice reached my ears.

Wearing a white cat-ear hat, Miss Wakaba pointed her index finger expressionlessly towards a shop not far away. Her pale golden eyes shone like the glow of the setting sun. Hearing this, Kazami Mei immediately smiled and spoke—

"Then I'll go buy some now, and we can try them together later?"

"No."

Kazami Naruto had just taken a step forward and hadn't even had time to leave when a small hand grabbed the cuff of her coat.

The petite, emerald-haired girl calmly grasped the hem of Kazami's clothes, and then, as if she had been prepared, slowly pulled out a slightly crumpled ten-thousand-yuan bill from her pocket and displayed it in front of Kazami.

"..."

The girl raised her golden eyes and slightly opened her mouth as if she was about to say something.

"No, no, I promised to take Mu out to play today, and besides, I haven't had time to keep our appointment before..."

As a result, Kazami Mei was forced to swallow her words back down halfway through her sentence.

The little wooden girl, who had been clutching his clothes, obediently let go of his hand. Her head was slightly lowered, and she seemed to be filled with a faint sense of loss. At this moment, she looked just like an abandoned puppy, frustrated and aggrieved.

Who can stand this?

Upon seeing the expression on Xiao Mutou's face, Feng Jianming immediately understood what was going on.

A mixture of relief and helplessness flashed in his eyes. He then gently placed his hand on the ten-thousand-yuan bill in Ruoye Mu's hand and deliberately spoke in a regretful and troubled tone, "Oh no, oh no, it seems I don't have enough money on me?"

"..."

The doll-like girl immediately raised her head, and gently tiptoed as if presenting a treasure.

"Sorry, Xiao Mu, could you please treat me to a meal this time?"

Kazami Mei's slightly apologetic 'request' seemed to make the green-haired girl's eyes light up.

The ever-quiet and 'well-behaved' Wakaba Mutsu, who always stood quietly by the side, nodded very seriously. Then, she took the initiative to run towards the crepe shop and, after 'striving to communicate' with the shop assistant, bought two cucumber-flavored crepes.

The familiar scene before him made Kazami Mei feel a pang of melancholy.

It was as if he turned around and went back to the day he first met Wakaba Mutsu, when he was comforting this girl who was not good at expressing herself, and he also went out to buy her a crepe.

The situation is not much different now than it was back then, except that the people going to buy crepes have changed this time.

"Mu, thank you so much for treating us this time."

"You're welcome."

Holding a cucumber-flavored crepe in her hands, Little Wooden Head shook her head in a delicate voice. As she took a small bite of the crepe, a faint smile seemed to appear on the corners of her mouth.

Such a simple act of 'treating someone to a meal' made her feel very satisfied, just as her anxious heart, which longed for 'repayment,' was truly comforted by it.

Crepes were a 'gift' they received when they first met, but this time, Ruoye Mu didn't want him to make sacrifices for her unilaterally again.

For Wakaba Mutsu, whether it's helping him or doing something insignificant, as long as it can 'repay' Kazami Mei or make him happy, she's willing to try her best to do it.

Seeing the beautiful smile that looked like a poem or painting on Wakaba Mutsumi's already stunningly beautiful face, even Kazami Mei, who prided herself on having 'invincible resistance', couldn't help but stare at her a few more times.

"...Ming? You don't like cucumber flavor? Then I'll go buy strawberry flavor..."

Ruo Ye Mu frowned slightly in confusion. Seeing that Feng Jianming hadn't taken a bite yet, she felt a little apprehensive. So she immediately turned around and prepared to go to the crepe shop again.

But before she could even take two steps forward, Kazami Mei, who had reacted quickly, grabbed her hand.

"It's nothing, it's nothing! I was just thinking about the Ferris wheel."

He doesn't want to eat strawberries at all!

Kazami Mei realized what was happening and immediately took a few big bites of the crepe in her hand. Only after she had finished eating it did the doll-like girl in front of her smile again.

However, perhaps because of Kazami Mei's casual excuse, Wakaba Mutsu's gaze towards the Ferris wheel in the distance stirred a few ripples, and even her expressionless face could not hide it from the black-haired boy beside her.

"Xiao Mu, would you like to sit down?"
