Moreover, he didn't open the shop to make money; he just wanted a peaceful life.
After he shared his thoughts with Kasumigaoka.
The girl gave him a very strange look.
"The shop manager is such a strange person."
“We’re about the same age, but we always act like adults…”
grown ups?
maybe.
Aoba smiled silently.
He used to pursue many things, but he felt increasingly exhausted.
I might as well just lie down and relax for the rest of my life.
All I want is peace and comfort.
Seeing his serious expression, Kasumigaoka seemed to understand and couldn't help but smile.
"Seriously, Aoba-kun, you really don't care?"
"Sometimes wanting too many things can actually cause you a lot of trouble."
"And what about me? Am I Aoba-kun's trouble?"
"It depends on what you think."
"Woo~ Hehe, Ao...ba...?"
Chapter 12: Feelings Intensify? Don't Try to Guess a Girl's Thoughts...
Kasumigaoka Utaha's home is also in the 20th ward.
It's just three blocks outside of Aonosuke Street.
This is already the edge of District 20.
It doesn't look like the prosperous Tokyo area at all.
Under the dark night.
Rows of small buildings stand quietly.
Street lights are arranged one by one, pointing to the dark world in the distance.
Bright lights shone above their heads.
The overlapping shadows intertwined silently.
Aoba and Kasumigaoka Utaha chatted as they walked.
Even after living in this world for so many years, he is still very curious about the lives he has never experienced.
So, it's always him asking.
Kasumigaoka answered all of Aoba's questions one by one.
Finally, she arrived in front of a secluded two-story detached house and stopped.
This is her residence.
Aoba glanced at it curiously; the small building was dark, with no lights on.
This is probably why Kasumigaoka comes to izakayas almost whenever he has time.
I live alone.
No matter how strong you are, there will always be times when you feel lonely.
"Have you always lived alone?"
Aoba was a little curious.
"No, it's just that my parents went on a business trip a couple of days ago, and I'm all alone at home now."
Kasumigaoka Utaha, now fully sober, returned to her normal complexion.
She took a few small steps forward.
Then he suddenly turned to face Aoba.
Strands of hair fluttered in the air a few times, revealing two simple hair clips.
The girl's eyes suddenly became somewhat narrow-minded.
"Na!"
"Would you like to come in and have a seat, Mr. Manager?"
Kasumigaoka leaned forward slightly, his body close to Aoba's, a familiar smile playing on his lips.
This is a very dangerous statement!!
In the middle of the night, a young woman living alone is invited to her home.
It's either a honey trap or they're just after his body.
Identify the elements of a bad woman!
"I reject."
Aoba immediately expressed his opinion.
Having known each other for so long, he wouldn't be fooled by the girl in front of him.
On the surface, it's a temptation, but in reality, it's just a dangerous game played by young girls.
"I didn't expect Aoba-kun to refuse, tsk."
Kasumigaoka Utaha retracted her upper body.
Shen Qing looked at Qing Ye with a strange smile.
Even in the dim lighting, her beauty remained captivating.
"But what will you do if I agree?"
Aoba once again cast a powerful gaze at Kasumigaoka.
The inexplicable look in her eyes made the girl's body stiffen instantly.
"Manager! Using your charm is against the rules!!!"
Kasumigaoka's face flushed red.
But suddenly he hesitated.
"But I'm just a weak and helpless high school student. If the shop manager insists on coming in, I definitely won't be able to stop him."
This move, a strategic retreat, stunned Aoba.
A few seconds later, he gave a helpless, bitter smile.
"Go back to sleep, it's very late, and you have school tomorrow, don't you?"
Aoba couldn't say he fully understood the girl in front of him.
But I still know his basic personality traits.
Although there's no way to resist that 'succubus' tag, if I actually went inside, the other party would probably call the police afterwards.
Moreover.
Although this child seems bold and mature, she is actually just a naive girl pretending to be mature.
If something bad happens, they will definitely choose to escape or hide.
"Humph!"
"Is Aoba-kun still very gentle?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha let out a smug, self-satisfied snort.
She turned around and walked towards her home.
He had only taken a couple of steps when Qingye called him back.
"Kasumigaoka-san, although I don't know much about light novels, but..."
"If I give up now, one day I'll regret it."
"Keep doing what you want to do, and things will turn out well."
Aoba recalled the scene of Kasumigaoka Utaha coming to his shop tonight.
Mingming is usually a girl who pays great attention to her image.
But this time she didn't even wear a hair clip.
There's definitely something bothering you.
In addition, the girl had mentioned a few days ago that she was going to submit her work for publication.
Nine times out of ten, the submission will fail.
Now that we are about to part ways, Qingyin: (seven) 〩liuyichanererzhu2ye felt it was better to comfort the other party.
after all.
If you really give up, you'll slowly stop being yourself.
When Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had her back to him, heard this, the corners of her mouth involuntarily curled up.
A mist slowly gathered in those eyes.
But it was quickly erased by her blinking.
She turned around, her hair swaying in the breeze, and looked at Qingye with a charming smile under the lamplight.
"Aoba, are you really not going up for a seat?"
"It really is just me."
