Chapter 131 Mashiro’s doubts

"Not living together."

Just when Iura Hide was thinking about what to say and was about to explain, Mashiro said calmly and expressionlessly.

At this time, Iura Hide didn't have time to think more, and said quickly: "Senshi-sensei is usually very busy at night and has no time to make dinner for Mashiro, so Mashiro's usual dinner is a bento sold in a convenience store. I happened to have something to do and didn't go home for dinner today. , just wanted to help her make a meal."

"So this is ah."

Hori Kyoko finally put away the shocked expression on her face.

She did not doubt Iura Hide's words. In addition to her belief in Iura Hide's character, it was also the instinctive reluctance deep down in her heart to believe that Iura Hide was really secretly living together with Mashiro, otherwise...
Hori Kyoko breathed an inexplicable sigh of relief, then frowned and couldn't help but complain about Chihiro Sengoku.

"Teacher Qianshi is too irresponsible! Eating that kind of bento every day will cause malnutrition in the body!"

Although Mashiro is already seventeen years old, according to the neon laws of this world, she could have gotten married four years ago and one year ago.

But Chihiro Sengoku is Mashiro's cousin after all, and she is also Mashiro's only relative and guardian in Neon.

"No, no, why should I compete with Mashiro!"

If Iura Hide really had to take the subway to Harajuku at 4:30, then it would really be too late to go to her house for dinner. After all, her house was not close to the subway station, and it would take almost ten minutes to walk to the subway station.

The most important thing is that Chihiro Sengoku doesn't take care of Mashiro, so Iura Hide, who is entrusted by Chihiro Sengoku and Yuri Nikaido to take care of Mashiro, has another job, making dinner for Mashiro!
When she thought of Iura Hide being at Mashiro's house, cooking dinner for Mashiro, she felt a little sour in her heart.

He didn't see Hori Kyoko's inner thoughts and thoughts, but said: "I have other things to do later. I will take the subway to Harajuku at about 4:30, and I may not be able to make it in time."

Now it was Iura Hide's turn to feel a little confused.

Hori Kyoko, who was originally a little depressed after being rejected, quickly made a mental calculation and her mood suddenly improved a lot.

Then, as if to cover up the guilt and nervousness that suddenly emerged in her heart, as well as a few other thoughts, Hori Kyoko continued: "My cooking skills are quite good, and I originally wanted to make dinner by myself. "

Hori Kyoko shook her head vigorously in her mind, trying to stop her random thoughts, but she couldn't help but suggest, "How about you and Mashiro come to my house for dinner tonight?"

In addition, while she was complaining, her eyes accidentally glanced at Mashiro's chest, and she felt heartbroken again.

Although many well-known designers in the fashion industry are men, he is still only a high school student after all.

Of course, there is no way to solve this problem. For example, she goes home directly and starts cooking, and asks Iura Hide to pick up Souta from school. Anyway, Iura Hide knows Souta, and Souta also knows Iura Hide, and even I have always been clamoring for Iura Hide to come and play at home, and this is just the time.

It's just that Iura Hide has already rejected her. Would it be too positive and too deliberate for her to extend an invitation again?
Will Iura Hide see that she actually has ulterior motives?

Moreover, what if Hori Kyoko asked him out of curiosity why he suddenly went to Xu to learn how to make clothes?
Is he going to tell Hori Kyoko that he wants to make a cosplay suit for his girlfriend?

In addition, after buying groceries, she had to change clothes and pick up her brother from school, which would take almost half an hour. Calculating, it would be 4:20 at the earliest before she could cook.

The high-end apartment Qianshi Qianxun rents is less than five minutes' walk from the nearest subway station.

Knowing that Mashiro couldn't cook, just letting Mashiro eat the bento from the convenience store was as unreliable as her parents who were busy working all day long.

Fortunately, she was two centimeters taller than Mashiro. Rounding up, her legs were two centimeters longer than Mashiro, otherwise she would have felt like she would be outclassed by Mashiro.

A tangled look flashed across her eyes. In the end, Hori Kyoko was still too embarrassed to extend the invitation again, so she took the initiative to change the subject and asked Iura Hideo what he was doing in Harajuku.

"Let's forget about this." After hesitating for a moment, Iura Hide said apologetically.

Obviously what she eats every day is much more nutritious and balanced than what Mashiro eats, but why is her size still almost two sizes smaller than Mashiro's?
This is too unscientific!

He, a grown boy, went to learn how to make clothes, but he always felt embarrassed and humiliated.

Please! Mashiro is right next to him!

However, if he makes other excuses, such as going shopping or something, is this equivalent to deceiving Mashiro?
He hates the feeling of being deceived, and comparing his feelings to his own, Mashiro probably doesn’t want to be deceived either, right?
As if it was retribution, Iura Hideya at this time had to rack his brains to think of the appropriate words like Kono Sakura did before.

In just less than a second, the overclocked brain was about to emit smoke.

"Ah -"

From the corner of his eye, he glanced at Mashiro next to him. In the end, Iura Hide gritted his teeth and took the risk and chose to tell the truth.

"It's nothing, I just went to the teacher to learn how to make cosplay clothes."

"Cosplay?"

After hearing Iura Hide's answer, not to mention the surprised expression on Hori Kyoko's face, even Sanmu's Mashiro seemed to have a surprised look in his eyes.

"Ah? Iura, are you actually interested in cosplay?" Hori Kyoko asked curiously after being surprised.

"call!"

It was as if the boulder that had been hanging had finally landed smoothly. At this moment, although the expression on Iura Hide's face did not change, his heart felt relieved and he breathed a long sigh of relief.

As he predicted, after he deliberately selected the cosplay costume, Hori Kyoko instinctively thought that the reason for doing so was that he liked cosplay, and did not think too much about other aspects.

After all, according to general logic, if you are not interested in cosplay, who would learn to make cosplayers by yourself?

As for whether Mashiro would think too much about it.
This shouldn't happen, right?

Iura Hide glanced at Mashiro quickly without leaving any trace, and then said with a smile: "Yes, it is reasonable for boys who like comics and anime to like cosplay, right?"

"That's true." Hori Kyoko was not suspicious.

Although she doesn't watch anime much, and has never attended any anime exhibitions, she has heard about the huge crowds of people at anime exhibitions from the Internet and her classmates.

Not to mention boys, there are a lot of girls there.

Hide Iura is a normal male high school student, and he also writes light novels. He likes anime, so it is very normal for him to like cosplay.

Next, as he expected, Hori Kyoko naturally asked about his favorite anime characters, and he quickly searched out several handsome characters in anime from his memory, and gave them to Hori Kyoko.

The two of them kept chatting about anime until after the three of them bought the discounted eggs, they went to the checkout counter to pay, and then smiled and waved goodbye at the door of the supermarket.

It was only at this time that Iura Hide finally let go of his last trace of worry. He let out a long sigh of relief as if he had successfully overcome the tribulation. During the whole process, Mashiro was just like usual, just following Iura Hide quietly and listening quietly. Although she obviously also likes comics and animation, she did not join in the chat between the two. It seemed that she didn't want to discuss these things with Hori Kyoko.

However, she secretly wrote down the names of the anime and characters mentioned by Iura Hide just now, planning to read them later, and then... use them as a reference for her own comics.

As a 'cartoonist', she certainly hopes that her works will be liked and recognized by the 'special him'.

"Let's go home too."

"Ok!"

Mashiro looked sideways at Iura Hide, and a different light flashed in his crimson eyes.

"Tadayi~"

About ten minutes later, the two returned to the apartment together.

After trying hard to find a clean place on the sofa to put down his schoolbag, Iura Hide steamed the rice first, then wiped his hands, smiled and went to the bedroom with Mashiro, who had been waiting for a long time.

Of course, he didn't want to do anything with Mashiro, and he had to pay to watch it.

He was just going to give Mashiro the character drawing of Kaoru Miyazono that he had promised Mashiro before. Mashiro had been looking forward to this for a long time.

"What will the heroine in Xiu's mind look like?"

Different from his usual indifference, Mashiro bit his lips subconsciously at this moment, and his heart was filled with strong expectations.

"Kaoru Miyazono initially had black hair and black eyes, and was a little short-sighted, so he usually wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses."

"These glasses cover most of her face and conceal her delicate appearance, so she usually looks very inconspicuous."

"Coupled with the fact that she was ill as a child, she often had to be hospitalized, especially after she entered high school. She spent most of her time in the hospital."

"That's why the male protagonist Arima Kousei never noticed her until this April."

In front of the desk, Iura Hide introduced Mashiro and picked up a pencil to draw on the paper.

He hasn't learned painting yet, so it's certainly impossible for him to draw on a digital screen like Mashiro does, but he still has no problem hand-drawing an original black and white line drawing by Miyazono Kaoru.

After all, the role of Xiaoxun has long been imprinted in his memory along with the absent April.

However, Mashiro on the side looked at it and frowned slightly unconsciously.

This kind of little expression is really rare for her who is naturally dumb.

But she frowned not because Iura Hide's drawing was ugly. In fact, Iura Hide's character drawing was quite good.

Except that the eye color and hair color have changed from green to black, and the length of the hair has increased a bit, and the painting style of the mouth is a little bit special. The face shape, the facial features, and most importantly, the introverted expression, are completely like Kono. Sakura!

"No, there is still a difference in glasses."

"Although Kono Sakura's glasses are full-rimmed, the frames are slightly thinner."

"It's different from 'Kaoru Miyazono's' black-rimmed glasses."

"But."

Apart from these, even with the eyes of a real-white humanoid camera, there is no other difference.

Can.
"Why Sakura Kono?"

Mashiro was really confused.

Because she had special feelings for Iura Hide that she could not explain, she had been unconsciously paying attention to the other girls around Iura Hide.

Then his eyes naturally rested on Hori Kyoko, Pochi-chan, and Yoshikawa Yuki.

Needless to say, Hori Kyoko was a top student, school beauty, and now she had discovered new talents in cooking and housework, which made her pay more attention to Hori Kyoko unconsciously.

Although Pochi-chan looks inconspicuous, with her world-class painting talent, she can naturally see that Pochi-chan, who always lowers her head, has a hidden appearance that is not inferior to Hori Kyoko.

In addition, Pochi-chan also has great guitar skills and formed a band with Hide Iura.

She paid no less attention to Pochi-chan than Hori Kyoko.

As for Yoshikawa Yuki, although her appearance is slightly inferior to that of Hori Kyoko and Pochi-chan, compared to Hori Kyoko who is a bit boyish or eldest, and Pochi-chan who is extremely socially fearful, Yoshikawa Yuki's character is undoubtedly the most normal and lovable.

In addition, Yoshikawa Yuki and Iura Hide always work together no matter what they do.

Therefore, her attention to Yoshikawa Yuki has not been low.

But Kono Sakura.
In terms of appearance, she is on the same level as Yoshikawa Yuki, and her academic performance is a little worse than Hori Kyoko. In terms of personality, although she is not as socially anxious as Pochi-chan, she can still make people feel a little bored.

Generally speaking, compared with the three of Hori Kyoko, Kono Sakura basically has no shining points.

Therefore, with her eyes, she didn't even notice the existence of Sakura Kono.

But by chance, Iura Hide's "heroine" turned out to be Kono Sakura! This is really surprising for Mashiro, who has never watched "The Passerby" and doesn't know Kato Megumi.

My heart felt like the wind blowing on the surface of the lake, causing a wave.

Unfortunately, Iura Hide, who was concentrating on painting and trying to restore Miyazono Kaoru as perfectly as possible, did not notice the strange look in her eyes, let alone that she would think so much. Otherwise, he would definitely tell Mashiro that she was thinking too much.

Kaoru Miyazono was often hospitalized due to illness at first, and she didn't have much contact with her peers. Her personality was indeed introverted and a bit transparent, but in this world of comics, it would be enough to catch a lot of girls like her, right?

And the introversion at the beginning was just to set off the cheerfulness and freedom later on.

The most important thing is that although Miyazono Kaoru is one of his favorite heroines, she was not created by him.

Fortunately, after he finished painting the former Miyazono Kaoru, he immediately started to draw the Miyazono Kaoru who started to race against time and made countless people cry.
