Tokyo Girlfriend Illustrated Book

Mikiko Hojo looked at the confrontation between the two girls with the same hairstyle in front of her in a funny way. One would turn red and shy because of her compliments, while the other would be overwhelmed by her compliments and raise her hands in a French military salute. .

But at this moment, they all showed their most ferocious postures as if they had encountered natural enemies.

That's great, the girl looks cute.

With this thought in mind, she stepped forward and held the two people who were about to start fighting with one hand.

"Xiao Yukino, when we meet, let's go shopping together, right?" She said to Yukinoshita affectionately.

"……Mmm Good!"

Yukinoshita immediately responded loudly like a soldier, but she immediately noticed something was wrong with her and responded quietly, feeling a little discouraged.

Hojo Kyosuke's mother is completely opposite to his own mother. Facing her strict mother, she could still try to find some excuses to resist, but for this gentle type, she couldn't find a way to deal with it for a while.

This is due to lack of experience. Once I have accumulated enough experience, I will not be so nervous!

When she was at a loss, the girl comforted herself like this.

So the group of people started walking around the mall.

"Xiao Yukino, do you want to push the stroller? Kashiko will smile at you, it's super cute!"

Sakura took the stroller from Yotsuba's hand and enthusiastically recommended it to Yukinoshita.

Yukinoshita reflexively scratched her head, and her eyes met Kasuko who was sitting in the stroller. Today Kasuko was wearing a black knitted hat with cat ears, with big black and bright eyes and a fleshy face. Huge face, so cute.

They look so soft and the texture of the wool is so beautiful. What kind of cat ears are they? It looks a bit like a ragdoll cat, no, an American curly cat, no... no, you have to confirm it with your own hands!

The girl tried to look away, but failed in three consecutive attempts. She could only stare at Kashiko like an idiot, and the little hand hanging on her thigh was eager to touch Kashiko's cat-eared hat. .

What will it feel like? cotton? silk? soft? warm?

"Let's try it? Kyosuke's sister is very well-behaved."

Seeing the girl showing a completely different attitude in front of her, Sanye also said with a smile.

Yukinoshita pulled the white strap of her satchel uneasily with her left hand, and carefully touched the frosted push handle of the stroller with her index finger on her right hand. She sighed slightly melancholy:

"I have no experience dealing with children. I am so immature..."

Even the little girl Miyamizu Yotsuba can push a stroller around well, but Yukinoshita doesn't have the slightest confidence. If you want to know why...

"Xiao Yukino!? What are you going to do over there?"

ah?

Hearing the shout, Yukinoshita, who was holding the stroller with one hand and caressing Kashiko's little face with her other hand, smiled and stared blankly, raised her head blankly.

"Aren't we going to the area where shoes are sold? The map says it's this way."

It wasn't like she was doing nothing when she was standing on the first floor in a daze. The map of the entire mall was firmly in her head.

"That's the direction to the children's play area." Sakura walked over quickly and looked at Yukinoshita in surprise.

"Or are you tired and planning to take Kashiko over there to rest?"

"I am not tired!"

Yukinoshita immediately retorted, a well-behaved child and a cute cat combined, how can it be tiring to stay with such an angel!

"I, I just..."

"Just a road idiot?" Sakura asked tentatively. She herself thought this conclusion was absurd. How could a genius girl who could easily remember the names of all the students in the whole year be a road idiot?

"Lu Chi? Although I can probably understand what this word means literally, but before I want to define others, first..."

"Okay, okay, I understand. Come over quickly. Aunt Mijiko and the others are gone." Sakura interrupted Yukinoshita's quibbles.

"I'm just not very good at identifying roads. Ultimately, it's because the shopping mall's planning is unreasonable. With so many forked roads, people can easily get lost. That's why there are so many lost children!"

Yukinoshita muttered quietly.

Sakura heard this and glanced sideways at the girl next to her. So, have you already classified yourself as a lost child?

"Next time you are in a daze and realize that we are no longer here, just stand there and shout. If I hear it, I will run over to you immediately. This is the secret to preventing getting lost that Kyosuke taught me. Do you remember it?"

"I have your contact information!"

Despite this rebuttal, Yukinoshita clearly lacked confidence.

"Hehe~ Yukino-chan is not lost!" Kashiko raised her little face and shouted happily, clapping her hands.

"I want to call Yukino sister!" Yukinoshita bent down and responded with a gentle smile.

"Xiao Yukino and Kashiko are together!" the little girl said innocently.

Hearing this, Yukinoshita's face turned red. She was not only lost, but she even took Kashiko with her.

"What did Yukinoshita-san come to the mall to buy?"

"A gift for Hojo-san." Yukinoshita, who was obsessed with interacting with Kaeko, replied subconsciously.

"Oh~ Soga~ So that's it~"

Yukinoshita woke up suddenly and looked at the person beside her with wide eyes.

"What's wrong?" Kato Megumi blinked and asked unclearly.

"I suddenly asked questions while I was distracted. I didn't expect Kato-senpai to have such a skill."

"Eh... cliché? No, I'm just asking you in a very ordinary way. By the way, Yukinoshita-san really likes that hat." Kato Megumi didn't show any sense of praise, but still spoke in a brisk voice.

"I don't like it very much! I just think it suits Kashiko very well!"

Kato Megumi looked at the flustered Yukinoshita in surprise. From her eyes to her expressions to her body movements, the other party fully demonstrated her love for that hat.

"Soga...I was going to say that the store just now had the same hat, with an extra moving cat tail."

Yukinoshita didn't even reply, and immediately turned around to find the shop Kato Megumi said.

"It's not on this floor."

"Oh oh..."

"Are you planning to buy it for Kyousuke?"

"How is that possible! The cute cat hat doesn't match that person at all!" Yukinoshita couldn't hide her desire to buy a hat and immediately objected strongly.

While the two were talking, the group in front of them had already walked out of the store and headed to the next one. The two pushed Kashiko to follow behind and continued chatting.

"But if you want to buy a gift for Kyosuke, you can't follow us all the time." Kato Megumi reminded, after all, they were shopping in stores suitable for women.

"I know...but even if I leave you, I don't know what to buy." Yukinoshita naturally expressed her troubles.

"So you were just standing in the lobby on the first floor in a daze?"

"That's not daze, that's thinking!"

"Oh~~So what's the result of your thinking?"

"Originally, I planned to challenge Hojo in a field he was proficient in, but I found that there was really no chance of winning. Sure enough, sometimes you still need a certain strategy to win. In turn, attacking the weaknesses would be a more feasible plan." Yukinoshita said seriously. .

"Um... let me try to understand."

Kato Megumi was a little confused because this seemed to have nothing to do with choosing gifts, but after seeing Yukinoshita's competitive personality that liked provocation, she had some understanding of this girl, so after a brief thought, she tried said:

"Challenge Kyosuke in an area he's proficient in, and you're talking about starting from his preferences?"

"That's right." Yukinoshita looked at Kato Megumi in surprise.

"To attack weaknesses, just to see what Kyousuke needs but doesn't have?"

"That's right." Yukinoshita nodded somewhat complacently.

After receiving a positive reply again, Kato Megumi was amazed.

She is such a shy girl, because she doesn't want others to know that she put so much thought into choosing a gift for Kyousuke, so she uses such difficult words, which is really hard for her.

"But from your point of view, it should be more appropriate to make up for the other party's weaknesses~" Kato Megumi said briskly. She decided that it was a rare opportunity to buy a gift for Kyosuke.

"Kato-senpai, if you were so smart when you were receiving tutoring, you might be able to take the first place in your grade!"

Yukinoshita said seriously, she had no idea that this stupid senior could actually follow her thoughts.

"Ah~~ Please spare me, it's the weekend now."

Kato Megumi, who had been so happy just now, immediately fell down, looking at her with such a hopeless look that she giggled.

"Kashiko will be full of fear for his future student career." Someone immediately used Kashiko as a shield.

"I'm telling the truth." Yukinoshita emphasized that she was definitely not seeking revenge because she found out that she had somehow revealed everything to Kato Keizumi.

"I'm telling the truth too!" The girl, whose dislike of studying was at an all-time high, had a firm sense of resistance.

"Well, your teacher is not me now anyway."

Oh~ yes, not bad~~

So, after returning Kashiko to her mother, the two girls who had temporarily formed an alliance broke away from the team.

"I want to go to this store."

Megumi Kato pointed to a store selling baseball supplies, and Yukinoshita followed in without thinking.

"Hey? Are Yukinoshita-san planning to buy the same gift as me for Kyosuke?"

"Of course not! That's a waste of resources."

"That?" Kato Keidou looked at Yukinoshita who was following closely behind him, and the meaning was self-evident.

"Although I am not proud of it, I have a value benchmark that deviates from the average female high school student. Not only do I know nothing about what ordinary girls like, I also have no idea about what boys like."

"I can still see this."

Kato Megumi looked at the proud girl in front of her in astonishment, although she had no idea what to be proud of in these words. A girl who can talk about choosing a gift as if she was reminiscing before the war is certainly not a serious high school girl.

"So, um... it would be great if you could help me, Kato-senpai, or something like that..."

Yukinoshita lowered her head and said in great embarrassment. She did not stare into the other person's eyes with oppressive eyes as usual when speaking, but kept staring at her toes.

"Soga, I understand, then let's go shopping together and I will provide you with reference." Megumi Kato agreed without any pause, her tone as relaxed as ever.

"Huh? Is it really okay? You also want to buy a gift for Hojo, right?"

Yukinoshita was a little incoherent. Although Kato Megumi was not as close to Hojo Kyosuke as Sakura and Glass, the other party was also planning to give gifts to Hojo Kyosuke.

Even Yukinoshita found it quite difficult to ask a girl who was choosing a gift for a boy to help her choose a gift for the same boy. If she hadn't been tricked out of all the words for no apparent reason before, she wouldn't have said such embarrassing words.

"It doesn't matter at all. Don't feel embarrassed, Yukinoshita-san. After all, you are also working very hard to help me. I am very happy to be able to help you~"

Kato Megumi's face was calm and happy, and her tone was light and relaxed.

"Kato..."

Yukinoshita was a little moved, and the grudge in her heart seemed to be eliminated in an instant. She also vaguely realized why she had expressed all her thoughts about buying gifts so easily before. It's not a cliche, or it's not a cliche on purpose. This girl named Megumi Kato has the ability to make people open their hearts in front of her.

He had clearly felt embarrassed before, but after listening to her brisk words and calm smile, he accepted her statement easily. They were obviously very polite words, but they sounded particularly sincere in her mouth.

"Thank you, Kato-senpai," she said with a smile.

"It doesn't matter, I just want to buy it anyway."

Kato Megumi still looked calm, and Yukinoshita became more and more relaxed.

"Baseball? It's indeed a good choice. Hojo didn't touch baseball before high school. Even though the school provides free equipment, there are still many things missing. That's awesome, Kato-senpai."

"I thought of it from Yukinoshita's weak point attack~"

“If you think about it this way, there are a lot of things you can buy besides baseball.”

"Yeah, high school is very different from junior high school..."

"Yukishita, that's a place that sells hardware products. Are you lost again?"

"Not this time! I think Hojo would like a multi-purpose tool kit? Or a smart punch machine."

"Hmm...I'm not sure either..."

"Last time I went to Ruyiliao, I found that he had a tool room with many tools in it."

"Oh~ Have you turned to challenge Kyousuke's area of ​​expertise again?"

"Forget it. I don't know what tools he has. If he repeats them, it will be a waste."

"Yukishita?! You don't want to buy underwear for Kyosuke, do you?"

"...How is that possible! I went the wrong way this time! Why don't you put up a signboard in this special area? I wonder if it would be embarrassing if you enter by mistake!"

"You'd better tell me where you want to go first."

"Kato-senpai, did you also memorize the map?"

"Write down the map? How could any fool do that? The distribution of stores in the mall is regular. For example, there will never be an underwear store next to a tool store."

"It's so complicated..."

"Those who think it's complicated are really complicated!"

…

So the noisy two finally bought a satisfactory gift.

"Ah~ I'm so happy. Let's go shopping together next week, right?"

Yamauchi Sakura invited everyone with a smile. Among the people who happily agreed, Yukinoshita, who looked tired and frightened, stood out. However, after looking at Kato Megumi and Glass who also agreed with a smile, she gritted her teeth and agreed, and made up her mind to memorize the locations of all the stores in this mall when she went back.

After returning home, ignoring all the troubles made by her sister who was lonely and bored, Yukinoshita fell into a weak sleep on the bed, looked at the paper bag on the table, and slowly closed her eyes.

So the memories end here and time returns to the present.

[The service department after seeing off the cross-dressing duo]

Looking at Hojo Kyosuke, who looked confused, and Yamauchi Sakura, who was getting excited for no reason, Yukinoshita felt her face heat up, and raised her right hand to flick the hair away from her ear.

"Nothing!" Her words were quite handsome.

? ?

It's nothing. Why did you leave me here?

Hojo Kyosuke's mind was filled with questions.

Yukinoshita took a deep breath and picked up the school bag hanging on the side of the table.

"I prepared a gift for you, to thank you for sending me a gift."

The dry words were knotted one by one like an old robot, and the fair face turned red as if it was overloaded.

Thank you for your monthly votes, rewards and recommendation votes, thank you.
