Chapter 52: The Pet Cafe!
The shopping street after school was very lively, filled with students from various schools, chattering nonstop while holding bubble tea, discussing whether to go to karaoke or the amusement park.
And Yuigahama Yui, constantly clinging to Yukinoshita Yukino in front of him, was asking incessantly just like them.
"Should we go play at the amusement park too? Yuki-chan~~~"
Yukinoshita Yukino ignored her increasingly intimate nickname and maintained her cool attitude and replied, "Isn't our destination the pet cafe? So, we shouldn't waste any time."
Speaking of which, have you gotten used to her nickname?
Yukino adapted a bit too quickly...
Luke thought while walking and replying to Mikasa's messages on his phone.
"Oh." Yuigahama Yui seemed somewhat downcast after Yukinoshita Yukino's reply, helplessly lowering her bun-adorned head.
Although the surroundings were still lively and bustling with voices, the atmosphere among the three suddenly felt quiet.
Yukinoshita Yukino looked at the downcast Yuigahama Yui, seemed to sigh, checked the time, and said, "It's six-twenty now, and the cafe closes between eight and nine. If we waste time at the amusement park, there might not be enough time to spend with the cat... ahem, I mean animals."
Luke raised his gaze slightly towards Yukinoshita Yukino's back.
You were about to say cats just now, right?
And Yuigahama Yui also regained her spirits, tilting her head slightly in thought, then said softly, "That's right, I also want to play properly with the Pomeranian on the coupon~"
"But..." Yuigahama Yui directly grabbed Yukinoshita Yukino's arm.
"Yuigahama-san, you..." Yukinoshita Yukino looked uncomfortably at Yuigahama Yui pressed close against her.
"If we still have time later, how about we take some purikura photos?!" Yuigahama Yui asked persistently, ignoring her discomfort.
Luke finished reading Mikasa's reply.
Without club activities, she had been going to Miura Yumiko's place after school these past few days, even staying over at Miura's house.
Using Mikasa as a friend for cover, Miura Yumiko finally managed to cleverly explain her previous overnight stay to her mother.
"As long as there's no problem," Luke put his phone into his upper pocket, squeezed next to the bunny plushie.
With Kasumizuki's help, after about two more days, the abnormality on Miura Yumiko would completely disappear.
Then she could normally continue her normie life, no longer attracting or seeing faint evil spirits.
"Do all boys like playing video games?" Yuigahama Yui suddenly turned back and asked him.
"Where did you get that conclusion?"
"Isn't it like that?" Yuigahama Yui turned her head back, disappointed.
He watched Yuigahama Yui pulling Yukinoshita Yukino's sleeve, feeling strangely silent.
Speaking of which, is Yuigahama really suitable for dealing with Yukinoshita?
Even with the gender advantage, isn't this fighting power a bit too strong?
He hadn't even had a chance to talk to her about it, yet she was already impatiently launching attacks, having now broken through Yukinoshita's icy defenses and grabbed her arm.
Could the friendless Yukinoshita adapt to this situation?
He even suspected if Yuigahama Yui's sexual orientation was somewhat questionable...
"Turn to the corner, don't go straight," Luke called out to the two.
"Ah! Almost forgot." Yuigahama Yui, led by Yukinoshita Yukino, paused her body.
"Forgot to look at the map," Yukinoshita Yukino also muttered.
"Sigh, what confidence do you two have leading the way?"
Luke walked directly ahead, quickening his pace.
The destination was right before them.
"Ah, the decoration is so pretty~" Yuigahama Yui looked at the cafe building, predominantly white, and exclaimed in awe.
"Appearance isn't important. What matters most is whether the content inside matches its advertising," Yukinoshita Yukino said while walking in.
"Ah, wait for me," Yuigahama Yui also hurried in after her.
Seeing the three, an attendant or perhaps receptionist came straight over.
"Hello, a party of three, correct? Please fill out this form here."
The receptionist took out the entry form, asking the three to fill in their information, while simultaneously rattling off introductions:
"Our shop closes at eight-thirty. Please follow the guide booklet for your visit. Please note, do not feed the pets with outside food. Please dine in the dining area."
He handed the coupon and several large yen bills to the staff.
"Ah... how much is it in total? If it's not enough, I'll give it back to you at school tomorrow," Yuigahama Yui quickly rummaged through her wallet.
Yukinoshita Yukino also looked at him.
"Don't worry about it."
e truly didn't mind.
Kasumizuki had transferred him the first batch of funds from the mannequin sales a few days ago.
He now had a large sum of money available to spend.
Honestly, with his current assets plus his earning speed, as long as he persisted for less than ten years accumulating wealth, then barring unforeseen issues like inflation or bank bankruptcy, he could completely drop out of school and freely enjoy life with his two maids.
But looking at it this way, maybe investing in some real estate would be better?
"How can that be okay?!" Yuigahama Yui quickly said from behind him.
"Just don't give me nicknames like 'Shut-in Boy' anymore," he prepared to order.
"Or switch me to Number One."
"What's with this strange competitiveness?" Yuigahama Yui poked his back with her finger.
"But it's true... after talking with you, I found you're really not a shut-in~ Sleepwalker!"
Luke's steps faltered.
"What kind of title is that?" Yukinoshita Yukino looked strangely at Yuigahama Yui, asking the question he wanted to ask.
"Because he always used to sleep in class, only waking up groggily during classes like P.E.," Yuigahama Yui explained.
Yukinoshita Yukino pressed a finger to her chin, thinking like a philosopher, and replied, "Then calling him Sleepy Bug would be more appropriate."
How much do you enjoy mocking people with bugs?
Luke was quite speechless.
Yukino Bug-shita, Yuigahama Idiot... these two... truly disheartening.
"But... thank you very much this time," Yukinoshita Yukino looked at his expression, smiled slightly, but quickly retracted it, as if it were just his illusion.
"Ah, yes, yes... thank you very much," Yuigahama Yui also said.
Forget it, I'll forgive them.
Luke walked to the counter.
"One caramel pudding, one fresh-squeezed orange juice, one strawberry cream cake."
Then he turned back and asked the two, "What do you want to eat?"
"No need, no need!" Yuigahama Yui quickly waved her hands.
"Sigh!" Faced with his enthusiasm, Yukinoshita Yukino sighed helplessly.
"People who constantly let others treat them become trash. If you're really being kind, please let us handle this ourselves."
And so, he moved aside, letting the two order their desserts.
