Shopping?
Aren't we going on a date?
Haruko keenly caught the keywords from Ichiko's mouth.
Her small mouth slightly open, her eyes a little vacant, the light in them dimmed slightly.
However, when Ichiko took her hand, Haruko quickly showed a smile.
And she added a sentence to herself in her heart.
Ichiko probably didn't notice, she definitely didn't do it on purpose.
Today, I'll just listen to Ichiko and enjoy the date.
After three consecutive days of heavy snow, today was a rare good day.
The sky was clear, and the sun shone brightly.
The sunlight broke the previous days' severe cold and also swept away the trace of unease in Haruko's heart.
Walking out of the neighborhood and arriving at the temporary parking spot by the road, an orange convertible supercar was parked there quietly. Its handsome appearance was definitely the dream car of countless men.
Beside the sports car, several people were taking photos from afar, but no one dared to approach.
Haruko glanced at Ichiko again, "So Ichiko likes something a bit flashy?"
She lowered her head in thought, wondering if her soft and cute persona needed to be a little more proactive and assertive?
Ichiko awkwardly touched her cheek, "Didn't I just get my Driver's license yesterday? While the excitement hadn't worn off, I borrowed a car from Inari. He has all sorts of sports cars. Although it's a bit showy, it's very comfortable to drive."
"Let's go, I'll take you for a spin."
The two walked towards the supercar.
The surrounding crowd was incredibly surprised.
"Such a cool supercar, I thought it was used by some rich young master to pick up girls. I never expected it to be two girls."
A young man looked surprised, then extremely envious, "Wouldn't it be awesome if I could latch onto this rich woman? She's beautiful and wealthy."
The brother next to the young man, however, pondered thoughtfully, "Actually, it might not be *not* picking up girls."
Young man: "???"
His good brother said, "Look, both girls are so beautiful, and they were holding hands when they came out. The little loli behind is even more timid, soft, cute, and obedient."
"Why can't it be a rich Miss picking up girls?"
Hearing this, the young man was dumbfounded.
Brother, your perspective seems a bit too novel.
Although novel, it was partially correct.
The relationship between the two in the car was indeed already in an ambiguous stage.
One humbly yearned for the other's love.
One pretended to respond but occasionally avoided.
With the heavy acceleration typical of a novice Driver, the sports car sped out. The slightly cold wind blew on her face, giving Ichiko an unspeakable sense of ease.
"Haruko, do you feel the wind is strong, or should I put the car top back?"
Glancing to the side, Ichiko found that Haruko was looking around again.
She couldn't help but feel a little strange.
It was like she was looking for someone.
She had the same reaction last time she went to the cat cafe.
What Haruko was looking for was naturally Black.
The moment the sports car started, the Perception Skill gave her a faint warning again, but Black wasn't there either.
Rather, in the past half month, Black had appeared quite a few times, but none of them had triggered the Perception Skill's reaction. Although she had been constantly trying to bewitch her.
But in the end, it was just an illusion.
It was a heart demon.
It wouldn't harm her, so the skill might not have been affected.
Now that she was out, there was actually a faint reaction again.
But it only lasted for a moment. As the sports car started, the skill's warning disappeared again.
That's strange.
Haruko didn't think too much and belatedly said to Ichiko, "Let's put the top back, it's a bit cold with the wind blowing like this."
"Okay." Ichiko nodded, but still couldn't help but worry, "Haruko, if anything happens, remember to tell me, okay?"
"Okay~"
Driving around, Ichiko displayed the bold and wide driving skills of a novice Driver. The whole process made Haruko feel a bit nervous.
But when she thought that Ichiko was sitting beside her, she suddenly felt at ease again.
After making an appearance at Inari's cafe and taking a few walks in the park, they drove towards Cat Cafe when they got tired.
The convenience of having a car was here; they could go anywhere they wanted.
Back and forth, the day passed in laughter.
In the blink of an eye, night approached.
Ichiko and Haruko went to the large shopping mall on Central Street together.
With a day's companionship, the accumulated unease was suppressed back into her heart, and Haruko fully enjoyed this date called shopping.
She was even more certain.
