After deciding to give up, he started to gain popularity

Even though he got sprayed with coffee in the face, the cup of espresso was innocent. Besides, he was the one who had to pay the bill later, so he couldn't just go home like that.

Anyway, the clothes are already dirty, and the marks are not too obvious, so what's the harm in leaving it a little longer?

You can't give him another color, can you?

"Oh! Okay, senior!" The little devil schoolgirl immediately became happy, but did not dare to be too presumptuous and followed behind obediently.

Because they had mentioned this to the waiter before, when the two of them came back, everything had not been removed. The only difference was that the strawberry sundae ordered by Isshi Icai had melted a little, but it was not a big problem as it had nothing to do with him after all.

"Well... as an apology, could you please try this sundae, senior?" Isshi Iroha suggested in a flattering manner.

Xia Chuan Zuo glanced at her and shook his head: "You eat it, I don't want it."

Maybe this arrogant school girl wanted to retaliate, but since the other party could eat it, there was no reason why he couldn't accept it.

But now he just wants to say "I refuse."

There is no reason, he just feels good after being rejected.

“Really, senpai… You don’t think Iroha wants you to deal with the unpalatable parts? I never thought of that, okay!”

"..."

If you hadn't said it, he really wouldn't have thought about it so carefully. Xia Chuan Zou rolled her eyes in her heart. Sure enough, this guy just wouldn't learn his lesson. Even if it was something unimportant to him, she still wanted to play a trick on him.

"You'd better finish eating quickly so we can finish the next thing."

"Is this true? Senior is going to continue dating Caiyu with coffee stains all over his body?" The little devil schoolgirl looked at him in surprise and even stopped scooping the ice cream.

"Whose fault do you think it is?" Xia Chuan Zou glared at her.

"It doesn't matter. It's getting dark anyway. You can't see it unless you look closely."

"But Iroha might dislike it, right? After all, she is..."

"I'm going back." After saying that, he pretended to stand up.

"Hey hey hey (＞人＜；), I'm sorry, Iroha got carried away. Please don't go back!" The little devil girl put her hands together and apologized to him, "Please continue the date with Iroha, and at least finish all the projects we have planned for today!"

"Then just eat quickly and stop talking nonsense." Xia Chuan Zou said without curiosity.

"Yes, sir!" Then she stopped talking and began to work hard.

After a long while, Isshiki Iroha finally finished her cake and ice cream, but there were still a few Japanese confectionery left on the table, so she rolled her eyes and suggested to Natsukawa Kanade: "Senior, I really can't eat any more, shall we share them?"

Xiachuan Zou looked up at the mochi balls and daifuku on the table, hesitating and wanting to shake his head.

"Didn't the senior say that? Don't waste food. The seniors should lead by example!"

"You obviously ordered this yourself, right? I only ordered a cup of coffee." Xia Chuan Zou complained, but after hesitating for a while, he nodded, "Forget it, since you can't eat anymore, let me finish it."

"Yeah, I'll leave it to you, Senior! But before that..." Isshiki Iroha quickly picked up two Japanese confectionery pieces and took a small bite of each. While chewing, she muttered, "Well, let me say some more..."

Then he handed over two Japanese sweets personally, blinking his innocent eyes.

"..."

It was just a "claim of sovereignty", she didn't really think he cared, did she? Xia Chuan Kanade looked at this arrogant school girl with an expression as if she was looking at a fool.

It's not like he hasn't seen this kind of situation before. For example, in the past, when classmates borrowed water from others, they would drink the first sip themselves. Some of them with a bad taste would even lick the bottle mouth twice to make sure they were the best.

What’s even more bizarre is that the person who took the water didn’t feel disgusted at all, but instead repeated the same action, and then gave the original owner an expression that said “you know”, highlighting his arrogance of “who’s afraid of who”.

To be honest, he used to be quite envious. After all, being able to do that showed that their relationship was really good, and he happened to lack a good friend with whom he could play and joke.

So in fact, Natsukawa Zou was not afraid at all. He just took a bite and it didn't fall on the ground. What was there that he couldn't eat?

Rather, the more the other party played such tricks, the more he wanted to see this arrogant school girl being embarrassed and humiliated.

So he directly took the Japanese confectionery handed to him by Isshi Iroha, took a big bite of the place where she had originally bitten in front of her, and even savored it carefully.

"Average." He commented.

I don't know if it refers to wagashi or something else.

Isshiki Caiyu, who was originally a little embarrassed, immediately changed to a shy and angry expression, glared at him fiercely, and whispered:

"Stupid senior, the worst!"

069. As expected of you, One Color Feather

Although all these things happened, the overall dining process was quite enjoyable, and the food tasted pretty good, which satisfied my appetite to some extent.

The most important thing is that after seeing the little devil schoolgirl’s frustrated look, I couldn’t help but feel a little happier.

"What's next?" Natsukawa Kanade asked Isshi Iroha who was standing beside her.

The other party seemed quite interested, and was flipping through his phone in his hand, which seemed to have some notes on it.

"The next step is to go to the aquarium. It's only a few minutes' walk from there." Isshi Iroha pointed in a direction, then pulled Natsukawa Kanade's arm and hurried up, "Senior, please move faster or we'll be late."

"Can't make it? Doesn't that mean they have to close at night?" Xia Chuan Zou was a little confused.

"Oh, that's not it." Isshiki Iroha shook her head, pretending to be mysterious. "Hehe, senior, don't be so curious. Iroha won't reveal it in advance! Anyway, just follow me."

"..."

There was no way. Since she said so, Xiachuan Zou had to speed up his pace.

It would be better if he could do it faster, so that he could rest earlier. Although the coffee stains on his body have dried, it would still be a bit awkward to leave them alone, so it would be nice to go back earlier.

It didn't take long for the two to arrive at the designated place.

The target aquarium is inside a park and requires a ticket to enter, but the ticket is not expensive, only 700 yen for adults and 250 yen for junior high school students. Unfortunately, the tickets have passed their expiration date and they cannot get a discount.

I handed the ticket to Isshiki Caiyu, but she made some inexplicable complaints about me.

"Senpai always gets tough in places like this. Just now, he suddenly said he wanted to treat us to dessert, which scared Iroha."

"But this doesn't cost much money, there's no need to take it so seriously." Xiachuan Zou shook his head.

"As for the treat...it's because you treated me to lunch, so I'm just going back."

A reward is a reward, and he will definitely take it, but it would not work if he really accepted it with a clear conscience and then did not respond. He would always care about it in his heart.

"Oh! Although it's well-intentioned, the words you use won't get high marks from Iroha! At best, it's probably around 7,8 or ."

"7,8 or points is not high?"

"The full score is 100."

"..." Xia Chuan Zou was speechless, thinking that this junior sister really didn't play according to the routine from beginning to end.

It seems like she either likes this or is teasing him on purpose. She's truly a little devil.

"Well, don't be depressed, senior, hurry up and enjoy the fun time with Iroha!"

"I'm not depressed." Xiachuan Kanade retorted decisively.

This is very important, otherwise it will seem like he cares a lot about the other person's evaluation.

But having said that, he still took a step forward and followed.

The two of them strolled around and took photos as they walked along the exhibition hall surrounded by the sea-blue magic tunnel. Looking at the colorful tropical fish and various marine creatures swimming aimlessly in the water, they couldn't help but feel a little more relaxed.

“It’s not as fun as I thought.”

"Really? I think it's pretty good..."

"Isn't that because senior has never been to a place like this before?" Isshi Caiyu complained. She could see that her senior only looked calm and indifferent, but in fact he was just like a child who was taken out by his parents to play for the first time on the weekend. He had an inexplicable enthusiasm and expectation for all kinds of things.

"I've seen aquariums that are even more luxurious than this one. They have whale sharks, giant squids, and everything else. They're at least a size bigger than this one."

"Really... so amazing." Xia Chuan Zou was a little absent-minded. In fact, at this moment his attention was basically attracted by the scenery inside the glass. The azure blue sea, colorful coral reefs, etc., all of them aroused his interest more than the arrogant school girl next to him.

"[○?｀Д′? ○]......"

Isshi Caiyu glared at him fiercely, but unfortunately he was ignored at all, so she poked his waist with her finger, and only then did Natsukawa Kanade come to his senses.

"what happened?"

“Senior! When you go out with a girl, you have to focus on her! Even if the scenery around you is beautiful, you have to act as if it is not as beautiful as her! Remember that!”

"Uh..." Xia Chuan Kanade was stunned for a moment, then apologized with a hint of guilt, "Sorry, this... is indeed a problem for me."

He was indeed a little too excited now, and completely ignored his companions beside him because of the things in front of him that he could only see in books.

The original purpose was to help the other party "collect materials", but it would not be okay if he was the only one happy now.

Besides, it's just an aquarium. You can only look at fish and stuff. It's really not that interesting. Just because he has never been here before, if he comes here about 10 times in the future, he will probably get bored of it.

Thinking of this, Natsukawa Kanade finally convinced himself.

"Well... having said that, I don't know what to do specifically. I can't just keep looking at you and ignore the fish, right?" Xiachuan Zou spread his hands. He bought the ticket, you can't let him spend his money in vain, right?

"Take a picture, take a picture!" Seeing that Natsukawa Zou was willing to listen to her, Isshiki Iroha's expression looked a little better. She then handed him the phone and asked her to help take pictures. "Listen carefully, senior, when taking pictures, you must first..."

"Don't take pictures of these fish and turtles, take pictures of Caiyu and me!"

So Natsukawa Kanade quickly came to his senses and pointed the camera at Isshiki Iroha.

His technique was not very good, and he was only able to take a few good-looking photos after careful training from his little devil schoolmate.

"Is this enough now?" Xia Chuan Zou asked.

I always heard that girls would take a few selfies before going out, checking in, or having dinner, or ask others to help them. At first, I didn't believe it, thinking that taking pictures of people is not as important as taking pictures of scenery. The former can be done anytime and anywhere, while the latter can only be done in specific places, so taking a selfie after traveling is at most a photo taken somewhere to prove that you have been there.

But now it seems that this is not the case at all. Compared with leaving evidence to prove that you have been here, it would be more convincing to use a special background to highlight your cuteness.

"You're still far from it! But considering that you took great care to capture Iroha's adorable look, I'll praise you. You're really amazing!" The little devil schoolgirl fiddled with something on her phone before giving a thumbs up to Natsukawa Kanade.

"I always feel like you treat me like a child..." Xiachuan Kanade curled his lips.

But before he could say anything else, Isshi Iroha continued, "Okay, Iroha's photo has been taken, and now it's Senpai's turn! Be prepared, Senpai!"

"Eh? I want one too?"

"Of course, you don't want to make this trip in vain, right? Then leave some photos as a souvenir."

“But I’ve already taken so many photos…”

"Those fish don't count! You should take pictures of the seniors, so that you can show the feeling of playing, so seniors, stand still!"

"..." After listening carefully, Xiachuan Zou also felt that it made sense, so he did as he was told.

However, after waiting for a long time, Isshi Caiyu still didn't agree, so I became a little impatient. Even if it was just an artistic photo, it would only be like this, right?

"Not done yet? How long do you want me to keep this position..."

"It's almost done, senior, don't be so anxious!" Isshi Caiyu shouted at him, then looked around and finally found an aunt who looked kind, so she comforted Xiachuan Kanade again, "Senior, wait a minute, I'll be done soon, just stand still and don't move."

"..." Xia Chuan Zou didn't know what she was going to do, but he was thinking that if she didn't come back after a few minutes, he would definitely not do it.

Fortunately, the waiting time was not long. Isshiki Caiyu came back soon and even brought back a passerby aunt.

"?"

Just when Natsukawa Kanade was wondering what was going on, Isshi Iroha suddenly ran up to him, took his arm, and whispered to him, "Senior, we're going to take a group photo. Stand still and don't move. You don't want to cause trouble for others, do you?"

"..."

How did it suddenly become a group photo? Didn't you say you wanted to take a photo of him and the background behind him?

However, it was too late to refuse, so Natsukawa Kanade had no choice but to smile at the camera.

So with the help of passers-by, a "couple photo" with a fairly harmonious atmosphere was officially produced.

"Thank you for your help. Thank you very much." The little devil school girl felt very happy after taking the mobile phone from a passerby.

This is more than just a commemoration, Senior...

070. Be prepared, senior! (3K)

We visited the aquarium and watched the dolphin show, and time passed by quietly.

There are quite a lot of amusement projects in this park, but apart from the various scenic views, other facilities require payment. The two of them had a lot of fun along the way.
