"How could that be?"
Erina Nakiri's face immediately flushed red, though she really wasn't very good at wearing high heels.
Normally, she wore school shoes. High heels were something she truly wasn't very good at wearing.
Even makeup, she had only just learned from Hisako Arato a few days ago.
"Sure enough, you can't do anything but cook."
Satou couldn't help but say.
He had indeed never seen the Tsundere wear high heels.
Aside from cooking, Erina Nakiri was truly a novice at everything. She couldn't do any of the things ordinary girls could.
"What do you mean! I'll learn in the future."
Erina Nakiri said huffily.
Makeup, wearing high heels—these were essential skills for ordinary girls, yet she couldn't do any of them, which made her feel very frustrated.
"And laundry."
Satou added.
Making the Tsundere do laundry was truly a headache. Every time she finished, the clothes were wrinkled and messy, either missing a button or torn somewhere.
Satou's school uniform had already been ruined by her three times.
However, things had improved a lot recently. Although sometimes the clothes weren't entirely clean, at least she didn't ruin them anymore.
"My identity is a chef; I'm not good at laundry, okay!"
Erina Nakiri said irritably.
"But what will you do after you get married?"
Satou asked, "As a bride, it would be quite a dereliction of duty if you couldn't do these things."
"Ma...married?"
Erina Nakiri's face immediately turned crimson, and she stammered, asking.
"I understand, I'll go and learn."
Erina Nakiri thought of something, suddenly blushing, lowering her head, and whispering.
Seeing Erina Nakiri instantly turn into a wife-like state, Satou couldn't help but secretly laugh. He asked, "How is it? Can you walk now?"
"My feet are a bit sore."
Erina Nakiri stood up with difficulty, her calves trembling constantly.
She wasn't used to wearing high heels to begin with, and then she had stood outside for so long. At this moment, she felt a sudden weakness in her legs.
"I can't do anything with you."
Satou sighed, then crouched down in front of her and said, "I'll carry you on my back."
"Eh? You're going to carry me?"
Erina Nakiri's face immediately flushed red. She felt very embarrassed in front of so many people.
"It's not the first time."
Satou said speechlessly. Every time they went to a gathering with the Polar Star Dormitory residents, he was the one who carried the sleeping Tsundere back on his back or in his arms.
Erina Nakiri's cheeks were flushed with shyness. She bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, took off her high heels, and then lay on Satou's back.
Satou held her legs and then stood up.
As soon as he stood up, he noticed that the nearby students were all staring at them, dumbfounded.
When Erina Nakiri had stood at the Principal's office door earlier, she had been very cold. A few boys had bravely tried to get to know her, but they had all been coldly rejected.
But now, she looked shy and like a small bird leaning on its master.
They even heard words like "marriage."
"Are you leaving now?"
Kaga Aoi came over and asked, secretly glancing at Erina Nakiri on Satou's back.
"Mhm. When you have time, remember to come to my place for some delicious food."
Satou smiled slightly and said.
"Mhm."
Although Kaga Aoi felt a sense of loss, she still showed a smile on her face.
Subsequently, under the complex gazes of envy and jealousy from all the students in the school, Satou carried Erina Nakiri and left the school.
Erina Nakiri buried her face in Satou's shoulder, not daring to lift it. She felt her cheeks burning, but there was a strange sense of satisfaction in her heart.
"I say, what are we doing now?"
Satou asked.
Although a lot of time had been wasted earlier, it was still very early.
"For a date, of course, you first give a large bouquet of flowers when you meet, then go to see a movie together, then have dinner in a romantic restaurant, and finally, under the moonlight, the boy, like a prince, Gentleman sends the girl home."
Erina Nakiri said, "Isn't that how it is in romance manga?"
Satou was a bit speechless and said, "Erina, are your ideas about dating all from romance manga?"
Erina Nakiri's cheeks immediately flushed red, and she said, "What's wrong? Is that not allowed?"
"That seems very old-fashioned, doesn't it? What with princes, flowers, white suits."
Satou complained, "Girls these days aren't into that, are they?"
Erina Nakiri's face turned even redder, and she whispered, "Is that so? But I think it's very romantic."
Satou was a bit speechless. The Tsundere was truly deeply poisoned by romance manga.
But he couldn't blame her, because she usually had to read manga secretly. So all her knowledge of romance came from those manga.
Things like princes and giving flowers were all very cliché tropes, but the Tsundere just loved that sort of thing.
This made him quite speechless, thinking that the Tsundere was really easy to trick, easily satisfied by such cliché routines.
But luckily, she had already been tricked by him first.
Next, Satou first carried her to a shoe store and bought her a pair of athletic shoes.
"Oh? This young lady doesn't know how to wear high heels?"
The salesclerk asked, chuckling as she looked at Erina Nakiri.
Erina Nakiri's cheeks immediately flushed slightly, feeling very embarrassed.
"Do you feel better?"
Satou asked.
"Mhm, it's very comfortable."
Erina Nakiri looked at the athletic shoes on her feet and nodded.
Although a dress with athletic shoes felt strange, she was very used to wearing them.
She looked enviously at the girls walking around the street in high heels, sighing in her heart. Indeed, she still wasn't suited for high heels.
"Is this your first date?"
The salesclerk asked with a smile.
"How did you know?"
Erina Nakiri's face flushed, and she said.
"I could tell by the way you two look."
The salesclerk laughed. She had seen many girls trying to wear high heels for their first date. "But your boyfriend is so thoughtful, carrying you over."
Erina Nakiri lowered her head, her face flushed, but her heart was exceptionally sweet.
"Actually, you don't need to dress up specially. High heels don't suit you. You're perfect just the way you are normally."
Satou said.
Erina Nakiri stared blankly at Satou, then a smile suddenly appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she softly hummed in agreement.
