Although the driver had a lot of curiosity, he upheld his professional ethics...
and directly started a conversation.
"Hmm, you said you can't chat, it will affect your concentration."
But if he didn't start a conversation, could he be called a good driver?
Chatting not only enlivens the atmosphere in the car and prevents the journey from being boring,
but it also allows both parties to share interesting things and useful information.
"Are you all going to the Zoo to see the pandas?"
Tanaka Masao was not surprised at all that the driver guessed their destination.
Because pandas are quite popular in Neon, most people go to the Zoo to see the pandas.
"Are there many people who go to the Zoo to see pandas?"
The driver nodded.
"Ever since the pandas arrived, the Zoo has had a lot of people almost every day, especially on weekends, it's even more crowded.
Because of this, the Zoo even issued a rule that everyone cannot spend more than a certain amount of time looking at pandas.
Otherwise, the people in front would always block the view, not giving those behind them a chance at all."
Hearing the driver's explanation, Yukinoshita Yukino nodded.
This was indeed the situation; people in the back hoped those in front would leave quickly, but once it was their turn, they wanted to watch for a bit longer, so the park needed to control the flow of people.
The driver continued,
"For example, today, there are a lot of people going to the Zoo, and the road from here to the Zoo is already jammed."
"Traffic jam?"
Hearing about the traffic jam ahead, Yukinoshita Yukino frowned, somewhat worried about today's itinerary.
Tanaka Masao also asked the driver,
"Is the jam serious? When can we arrive?"
"According to the information I have, it might take two hours to successfully reach the Zoo from here."
"That long?"
Yukinoshita Yukino was a bit surprised; two hours would mean it would almost be noon.
And even if they arrived, the Zoo would definitely have a lot of people, so whether they could even get in line before the Zoo closed was a question.
Seeing that they were all a bit disappointed to hear that it would take two hours to arrive due to traffic,
the driver's mouth curved into a slight smile.
"Two hours is the normal route, but I know a shortcut that won't have traffic, and it will only take less than twenty minutes."
A confident man is the most charming.
At this moment, the driver was radiating charm.
"Driver is so handsome, that's really great."
Hearing this, the driver smiled at the excited Tanaka Masao and said,
"Of course, since you chose to ride in my car, you should naturally enjoy such service.
Hold on tight, we're about to set off."
As an experienced driver, he drove both fast and steadily.
After passing through several narrow alleys that could only fit one car, the car quickly stopped in front of a large gate.
"Everyone, we've arrived. This is Entrance Number Three of the Zoo, and it's also the closest entrance to the Panda Garden. I wish you a pleasant visit."
Tanaka Masao gave a thumbs up.
"That's great, I really love you."
The driver laughed heartily upon hearing this.
"I don't accept love from fat boys; if it were a beautiful girl, that would be more like it. Goodbye."
Watching the taxi drive away, Tanaka Masao felt a bit unconvinced.
What's wrong with being a fat boy? Wasn't Chris, the fat boy from a certain small town, called a succubus?
So fat boys still have quite a market.
Yukinoshita Yukino covered her mouth and chuckled, teasing,
"Tanaka-kin, you like older men after all, but it's a pity you were rejected."
"No, I was just thanking the driver."
Tanaka Masao argued,
"If it weren't for the driver, we'd still be stuck on the road. Don't you think the driver who saved us time is very handsome?"
Yukinoshita Yukino nodded.
"Now that you mention it, the driver is indeed very handsome."
Hearing Yukinoshita Yukino praise another man as handsome, Tanaka Masao suddenly felt a little jealous for some reason, even though he was the one who poured the vinegar himself.
"Actually, I think the driver is still a little bit inferior compared to me."
Yukinoshita Yukino shook her head helplessly and sighed.
"Heh, men."
"Alright, let's go quickly. While there aren't many people, let's hurry in."
Tanaka Masao wanted to act spoiled.
"Oh, just praise me for being handsome."
But he himself felt a bit disgusted at the thought, so he stopped this idea and quickly followed.
"What do you say, should we go straight to the Panda Garden?"
"Of course, while there's no one, let's hurry over. We can get a good spot, and maybe even watch for a bit longer."
"What about after we've seen the pandas?"
"Hmm~"
Yukinoshita Yukino thought for a moment, extended her right index finger, and with a smile, as if she had a good idea.
"Then we'll queue up again and see the pandas one more time."
Tanaka Masao: ...
"Xuezhixia Classmate is really persistent about pandas. Aren't you going to see the baby pandas?
And raccoons, owls... Oh, and tigers, lions, and cheetahs are all felines too."
The more Tanaka Masao spoke, the brighter Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes became, and her body trembled along with it.
She looked full of fighting spirit, pulling Kashi and walking quickly forward, then turned to urge Tanaka Masao, who was still standing in place,
"Tanaka-kin, what are you still waiting for? Hurry up, we have a very important task today."
Anything that could be related to the word "cat" successfully piqued Yukinoshita Yukino's interest.
Seeing her like this, if they didn't finish seeing all the cat-related animals in the Zoo today, she wouldn't give up.
"Coming."
Tanaka Masao quickly followed.
...
At the same time, at another entrance to the Zoo.
Four beautiful figures appeared.
Fujiwara Chika spread her arms, puffed out her chest, and took a deep breath.
"Ha~, we've arrived at the Zoo! Alright, today I'm going to play with the cute little animals all day."
