Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki.

“I understand, Boss. I will investigate 『Big spider』 and the sellers behind them thoroughly.”

“Okay, that's all.”

The original 『Big spider』 was just a small organization that couldn't get their hands on guns, drugs, or anything like that.

Even if they wanted to fall into depravity, the most they could do was force the female students in their organization into prostitution to earn money.

Further development takes time and connections.

But to be able to reach this point in such a short period of time indicates that there is definitely someone controlling 『Big spider』 from behind.

“Regarding the『Dead Knot』 matter that I asked you to pay attention to last night, how is it going?”

Even though Misaki Shokuhou said she would take care of the aftermath, he naturally couldn't completely wash his hands of it.

“We sent people to the park you visited last night to investigate.”

“The traces have been completely cleaned up.”

“As for the remaining members of the Dead Knot you mentioned.”

“Since we are not very clear about their specific base, we can only conduct surveys in the Ninth School District where they are located.”

“We haven't found any members of the Dead Knot today.”

Everything is handled in an orderly manner, which is why even though Komaba Leader was the former leader of『Skill Out』, he still values him so much.

Not only does he appease the other『Skill Out』 members and reassure them, but it is also because Komaba Leader is as smart and mature in his dealings as he looks.

“Okay, go ahead and do your work.”

“When Fremea comes back, remember to keep an eye on her and don't let her play too many computer games in a day.”

He stood up as well, and picked up the coat hanging on the wall.

“Also, I probably won't be coming over in the next few days. I have something to do, so I'll leave it to you.”

Chapter 017: Date

The next day!

Today is still a clear and cloudless day.

Wearing ordinary casual clothes, Harumura Makoto yawned as he arrived at the research institute called Artificial Workshop.

“Please wait in the reception room. The director is getting dressed.”

It seems that Misaki Shokuhou must have instructed them in advance, so I was not blocked in any way when I just arrived here, and was directly brought in.

“What kind of drink would you like?”

“Juice, black tea, coffee.”

Harumura Makoto had just sat down when the female receptionist immediately asked politely.

“Coffee, please.”

He never drinks juice, and he doesn't have the ability to appreciate black tea. The only drink that can be considered his favorite is coffee.

The coffee with the steaming heat was placed on the coffee table in front of Harumura Makoto in less than two minutes.

The female receptionist in charge of receiving Harumura Makoto left the room as soon as possible.

He picked it up and took a sip. The rich aroma of coffee beans exploded directly in Harumura Makoto's mouth, causing him to take another sip involuntarily.

“The quality is very high. Should I say, as expected of a noble young lady?”

“I haven't drunk it before, but it should be a good thing that is hard to buy even if you want to.”

Just as he said, Harumura Makoto's only favorite drink is coffee, and he is not in the previous state now. He is short of money and can't take out too much money.

Although it has not reached the point where he can buy whatever he wants, he can still afford to drink some good coffee.

But in this world, there are many things that cannot be bought with money.

For some things, you not only need to have money, but also power and influence to buy them.

“It's not a trouble, but it is true that the output is very low.”

The pleasant voice came first. Harumura Makoto raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the voice. The door of the reception room was opened at some point.

“If you like it, I'll have them send all the remaining coffee beans to your house later.”

The clear footsteps were getting closer and closer to Harumura Makoto, and the honey-colored long hair swayed from side to side with the owner.

It can be seen that Misaki Shokuhou did dress up a little today.

You can see traces of light makeup on her face. Although she is still wearing the Tokiwadai-designated school uniform, her facial features look more three-dimensional because of the light makeup.

Coupled with the shallow smile on the corner of her mouth, she does have a youthful and lovely atmosphere.

It's not so consistent with her usual style.

“That's not necessary. No matter how good it is, it's just a drink to me.”

“And I don't have many occasions to use this kind of thing.”

He put down the coffee cup in his hand and placed it on the table.

The place he runs is not a particularly serious industry, and he usually doesn't need to entertain customers or anything.

“Then just drink it yourself. Harumura-kun shouldn't be polite with me about this kind of trivial matter, right?”

Her eyes narrowed into the shape of crescent moons, and the corners of her mouth remained in an upward arc. Although everything was so beautiful, Harumura Makoto did feel a pressure pressing on him.

“Well, then I won't stand on ceremony.”

“But speaking of which, where are we going today?”

“The itinerary shouldn't be you taking me to your research institute, right?”

Misaki Shokuhou smiled even more and refastened her white handbag.

“Of course it won't be such a boring thing. You can visit here at any time. As for today, it's better to follow my arrangements.”

……

“So your arrangement is here?”

The ground is all red small square bricks, and on both sides are rows of tree-lined avenues. The surrounding architectural style is ancient European architecture.

Here you can't see any reinforced concrete.

There are even fountains, sculptures, benches, street lights, newspaper kiosks, street performances, and open-air cafes on the street.

Simple, elegant, noble!

If you really want to find adjectives, you can probably only use these three words to describe it.

This is the Champs-Élysées in Academy District.

Modeled after the Champs-Élysées in Paris, France.

This is Academy District, this is the concentration of noble young ladies in Academy City, so it is normal for it to be built so luxuriously.

“No matter what, the first step of a date should be shopping, right?”

“This is an established process.”

Misaki Shokuhou put her hands on her hips, looking very motivated.

This street is not only modeled after the Champs-Élysées in terms of appearance, but its prosperity is also completely comparable to the original version. There are various top restaurants and clothing brands, and even famous craftsmen live here.

It can be said that here, you can buy any luxury item in the world.

“Where did the established process come from?”

“It's just a way for women to rip off men.”

Harumura Makoto drooped his eyelids and complained weakly.

If a man is interested in a girl, then the first time he successfully asks the girl out, the girl sees an item in the mall that she likes very much, but she just doesn't mention buying it or let go, what should you do at this time?

The answer is only that you take the initiative to buy it for the girl.

If you are indifferent or pretend not to see it, then rest assured.

The girl will definitely not think about whether this thing exceeds your financial ability, or whether she feels uneasy about accepting your gift.

She will only think that you don't value her, and then directly put a × in her heart.

“Hey, does Harumura-kun equate me with those gold-digging bitches?”

Misaki Shokuhou pouted, and came directly in front of Harumura Makoto in her round-toed leather shoes.

“Since I asked Harumura-kun to come here today, then naturally all the expenses here today will be borne by me.”

“Harumura-kun just needs to give me comments.”

She stretched out her hand and grabbed Harumura Makoto's hand. It seemed that she had already selected the store, and dragged Harumura Makoto's arm and walked in one direction.

“Comments?”

“Let me say in advance, my aesthetic level for clothing is not high. If you expect to get any good suggestions from me, it is impossible.”

He unloaded all his defenses and let Misaki Shokuhou's small body drag him forward.

“That's not important.”

“The point is what your aesthetic point of view is.”

Misaki Shokuhou smiled sweetly and pointed to a brand called『VALENTINO』in front of her with a gloved finger, which looked very slender.

“Now let's set off, gogogo!”

“Yes, yes, yes——”

Chapter 018: There will be growth in the future

Well, Harumura Makoto is very clear about this brand.

It belongs to the top brands in the entire world. Many women are willing to sell their bodies just to own one of its products.

He turned his head and glanced at Misaki Shokuhou, who was full of interest and sweeping her eyes on the shelves, and then quickly retracted his gaze.

This guy is definitely not related to this kind of thing, he can be sure.

But……

“Are you buying clothes for your father? This is menswear.”

That's right, this brand is not only for women, but the popularity of menswear is also remarkable worldwide.

He thought this guy was here to buy his own clothes, but it doesn't seem to be the case.

“Harumura-kun, sometimes men who deliberately pretend not to understand are very annoying.”

She tiptoed and took a linen suit from the hanger and gestured in front of Harumura Makoto.

But it seemed that the impression, or rather the effect, was not very good. Misaki Shokuhou frowned and put the clothes back and continued to choose.

“Although it would be nice to buy some clothes for myself, it's a pity that everyone in my family has custom-made clothes by exclusive designers.”

“Every year, someone is responsible for measuring the size and then sending the clothes for each season.”

“I have never bought clothes outside since I was a child.”

Yeah, this guy, apart from being a superpower user, is also a noble young lady.

The corner of Harumura Makoto's mouth twitched involuntarily.

This is really a negligence, he really completely forgot about this.

Speaking of which, the young ladies who live in Academy District are almost all from noble families from all over the world, and only a very few are the type of common people who counterattack.

And Misaki Shokuhou, who has been imprisoned in disguise since she was a child and served as an experimental product, is actually no exception.

“So today's main goal is to buy you new clothes.”

Putting down what she was busy with, Misaki Shokuhou returned to Harumura Makoto again, supporting her chin with one hand, and scanning up, down, left, and right with her starry eyes.

“As expected, it still needs to be like this.”

Misaki Shokuhou muttered to herself, only to see her reach out and wave towards the counter.
