Chapter 237 – Midwinter Heat
Lenka hesitated when he saw the store in the middle of Akihabara.
“Why did you come here…?”
It is a face that seems to have been forcibly dragged.
If I had come alone, I would have been sloppy, but it must be because I am next to you so I can’t relax and do fan activities.
I said with a smirk at Lenka.
“I’ve already been caught, so why don’t you stop pretending?”
“It’s not a pretense… I don’t have any reason to come, so I don’t have to…”
“It’s because there is a figure I want to buy.”
“Then what… Let’s go.”
“Aren’t you going to ask what kind of figure it is?”
“There’s no reason to ask…Because you’ll find out anyway…”
“That is true. Go in.”
After entering the store with Lenka, I looked at the various characters in the SD figure section.
Later, when he saw a famous cartoon character he had recently seen in the middle of the shelf, he tried to call the clerk and ask for a new figure.
At that time, Lenka stopped me with an expression of reluctance.
“I’d rather not buy that…”
“Why?”
“The figure maker is a bit… That company is notorious for its poor quality and finish…”
“Oh yeah? If I buy it, could it be broken in one place?”
“There are quite a few such victims. There’s a reason why it doesn’t sell. It’s not a place where there’s no substitute, so I think it’s better to look for another company…”
After all, I know because my major is my major.
I almost lost my raw money.
“Then the manager recommends one.”
“… Isn’t it normal to say thank you for now? What makes people so crooked?”
“The manager doesn’t even thank me.”
“So you’re going to take revenge?”
“Just kidding, thank you.”
As she patted Lenka on the back, as if to soothe her child, she lit a double wick in her eyes.
“Do you want to die…!? Don’t do it…!”
“Why? It’s a compliment.”
“Oh, don’t do that…!”
Lenka twisted her whole body, rejecting my touch.
It’s like a girlfriend who refuses to touch me after fighting.
Since she was in a crowded place, she avoided my touch as much as possible, assuming she didn’t want to be a nuisance, but she let out a sigh and relaxed her body as she continued to try to touch her.
I said with a satisfied smile at the desperate Lenka.
“It would be nice if you stayed still from the start.”
“Trash.”
“Aren’t you hungry?”
“Uh.”
“Chief, aren’t you going to buy a figure?”
“No money.”
“Can I buy you one?”
“Shut up.”
“If you don’t like it, don’t.”
Tick-tick, she caressed Lenka’s back, and I looked at her various figures with her.
Lenka, who had been showing her displeasure, relaxed her expression before she knew it and was looking at the display stand.
It looks like there are many things to buy. If you get a part-time job, I want you to come running here right away.
“Which cartoon is that robot from?”
“It’s not a cartoon, it’s a machine from the original TV anime.”
“Is it so?”
“Uh. It’s not much fun, and there’s a bit of demand because the airframe design is out of date.”
“Then what about that robot?”
“It’s a sci-fi based on a light novel, a robot. It’s a classic novel, but it’s still very popular. It has appeared not only in comics and anime, but also in movies and games.”
It’s funny how he answers all my questions without hesitation.
Did you lighten the pressure a bit? Or did he unintentionally lose his temperament by focusing on the figure viewing?
Whatever it is, it’s nice to see
“Have you seen everything? Shall we go to the adult comics section?”
“… Do I have to go too? Are you going alone?”
“Do you use slaves when they are separated from their masters?”
“I want you to stop talking bullshit.”
She snorts as if she has become immune to the word her master.
Together with her, I went up to a floor full of adult comics.
“What are you going to buy? Asagao-san, that didn’t come out in 2 episodes.”
Lenka’s question that silently followed me.
I can’t pay attention to the explicit cover, but it seems embarrassing.
“I’m just watching.”
“What genre do you want to see…?”
“Conjugation.”
“… A teaching aid?”
“Yes.”
“Didn’t you say you were looking for an assistant teacher the other day…? It’s a very consistent taste…?”
“Yes.”
“Look, what are you trying to do…?”
Well, I’m trying to use the various plays that came out of it on you.
Sensing her strange aura, Lenka rolled her eyes, and I replied.
“What are you doing? I watch it because I like it.”
Did you have a premonition of the future?
Lenka’s expression turned fierce as she closed and opened her eyes.
You can see the will to never collapse, let’s see if that will turn out the way you want.
I smiled at her and pointed at the book in her corner.
“This looks interesting.”
A book titled [How a former princess slave survives].
On her cover was a pretty woman in a blonde wall hanging out her tongue in her dress.
Seeing that naked picture, Lenka’s throat swayed loudly.
“Are you going to live…?”
“I’m going to. Can you lend me a look?”
“No…?”
“So, are you going to watch it together?”
“W-what are you saying…! How the hell do you understand what I’m saying…?”
“No.”
Shrugging my shoulders as if it were not a big deal, I picked up the book and went to the checkout counter.
Meanwhile, Lenka was preparing to descend her stairs.
I guess I can’t possibly do the calculations together.
Feeding off Lenka’s shy attitude, I finished her calculations and grabbed her wrist as she tried to walk away from me.
Then, in her astonishment, I half-forced her to come next to me,
“My, I’ll walk with my own stride, so let go of this…!”
We left the store together, listening to her dismayed complaints.
Afterwards, while wandering the streets looking for a store to satisfy my hunger, I found a modern sandwich shop and went there.
“What do you want to eat?”
“… Ham cheese panini.”
“How about a drink?”
“Strawberry Latte.”
I guess I was very hungry. I thought he would build up his pride by saying he wouldn’t eat it, but looking at him answering meekly.
And the menu selection was very cute.
It wasn’t food with an arrogant image, such as coffee or tea, but things that Chinami would choose, and it felt like she had a bit of an elementary school appetite.
Lenka also seemed to have had an unreasonable thought with me, and her face was covered with blush.
Even though I didn’t need to notice her, I burst out laughing at her pointless Lenka.
Then, Lenka, who was waiting for me to finish my order, asked curiously.
“Why are you packing? Aren’t you going to eat?”
“I’m going to eat while walking around the streets.”
“Oh yeah…?”
“Why? No, I do not want?”
“I never said no…”
“That’s it.”
After she finished talking, I tried to grab Lenka’s wrist like before.
However, Lenka, who seemed to have expected my actions, stopped her attempt when she swung her own arm upwards.
I’m unnecessarily quick-witted on this one.
I licked my lips again, gritted my teeth as I watched Lenka snort at her after successfully evading her.
It was because she was so proud of herself over such trivial things that it was funny.
I don’t know if I’m falling for Lenka like this.

“Just a bite of the panini.”
As I walked her way, I pointed at her panini, which her lenka was eating, and she willingly tried to remove the portion of her that her own mouth couldn’t reach.
I continued, frowning slightly at him.
“Don’t be cumbersome, give me the whole thing. Just take one bite.”
“… No.”
“Why? Don’t you want to drool?”
“That’s that, too, but I think I’ll eat more than half of it while saying it’s a bite.”
“What’s wrong with beating the owner? Don’t you speak well?”
“…”
Lenka, ignoring her words with her sullen face, broke off her panini into bite-size pieces and gave it to me.
It’s crooked on the outside, but it’s really nice on the inside.
After roaming the streets, seeing and enjoying various things while arguing with Lenka, I went back to the car when it was quite late.
“Today was fun.”
“Uh.”
“How was the manager?”
“What am I… I’m okay.”
“I’ll read all the comics I bought today until the day after tomorrow and lend you the manager.”
“Because you don’t need to lend me…?”
“I miss you.”
“No…! I don’t want to see you…!”
“Is it so? Then, can I watch it alone?”
“Yes or no…”
Mumbling is also cute. To kiss
Giggling, I wiped my hands clean with the wet tissue in the car, took out a blueberry-flavored candy from the glove box, opened the wrapper, and brought it close to Lenka’s mouth.
“Now, Chi candy today.”
“… I don’t want to eat…”
“Eat.”
“Then just give it to me. I’ll eat…”
“Eat quickly because my arm is about to hurt.”
“…”
Hesitantly kicking the candy and me, she cautiously opened her mouth and ate the candy she held out, probably not wanting to be criticized by me.
Then he quickly closed his lips so I couldn’t stick my finger in.
Even if you do that, there are many ways to do weird skinship… Doing useless things.
I raised the corner of my mouth to Lenka, who was timidly rebellious, and I put my thumb on her lips and swept her side while holding her down.
“Town…!?”
Lenka widens her eyes at my unexpected action.
I felt the touch of her tangled lips coming from her fingers,
“Today, the manager listens well and is pretty. Well done.”
He gave her words of praise in a soft tone, removed her thumb, and gently cupped Lenka’s chin.
Perhaps because her face is so small, her slim chin is almost captured.
In that state, I gently stroked Lenka’s area around her, where her neck and jawline were connected, up and down, and she cursed at me with a trembling voice.
“Mi, you crazy bastard…! What are you doing all of a sudden…!”
“The tint didn’t smudge.”
“That’s not the problem…! Why do people…”
“It’s noisy. Let’s watch a movie together tomorrow after work.”
“I hate it…! Don’t look…!”
“This is not a request.”
“…”
“Make an appointment for tomorrow. OK?”
I calmed down her voice as much as possible and pressed her face again, and I saw Lenka’s pupils rolling.
I guess I just need to push a little harder.
“Okay?”
“…”
“Answer.”
“Ah, ok… I’ll leave it blank… You can just leave it blank… So please…”
Even though she could have pushed my hand away herself, she wouldn’t.
I don’t know if he liked the touch, or if he was just holding back because he was afraid of retaliation, or both…
Seeing that there wasn’t much backlash against such an unexpected touch, I can tell that it’s ripe enough.
I’m going to buy it at the cinema tomorrow and play it once.
I need to book tickets for a movie that won’t have many audiences.
Having made that resolution, I stroked Lenka’s entire long neck before finally removing her hand.
Then, after taking a quick look at Lenka, who was evening her breath with her rather rough breath, he started her car.
