Honoka Kosaka said regretfully, "Too bad, I haven't seen that photo yet!"
Yan Xi handed over his phone.
"Is it this one?"
The phone displayed a photo of Eri blowing a kiss, recovered and downloaded from the cloud by Yan Xi.
Eri wouldn't turn back to check again.
Yan Xi had captured the moment perfectly, though Eri's gesture was slightly stiff, it was still a great photo.
Honoka Kosaka smiled slightly and took out her phone.
"Please send me a copy!"
Nozomi tried to dissuade them, "Isn't this wrong of us?"
She also took out her phone, her intentions clear.
Yan Xi sighed, Eri really had it rough with these two friends!
When Eri came out after changing her clothes, the three accomplices had already put away their phones.
Yan Xi whispered to Honoka Kosaka, "Threatening her with the photo you have, that would definitely work!"
Honoka Kosaka's eyes lit up, then she shook her head and retracted her suggestion.
Apparently, she had threatened Eri before and suffered quite a bit for it.
"Don't you want the clothes from earlier? They look so cute on Eri." Nozomi asked with a blink.
"They're not cute at all!" Eri blushed again.
Nozomi was a little bit of a blackhearted one, and she was on the same page with Yan Xi when it came to teasing Eri.
What, you ask why they don't tease Honoka?
Teasing someone who is so naive and clueless isn't as interesting as teasing Eri.
It's still the same old saying.
Having friends like these was truly Eri's misfortune.
Girls' shopping trips mainly involve a lot of browsing.
The group shopped until noon and happened to come to Shimokitazawa.
In recent years, Shimokitazawa has been developing shops and second-hand stores, gradually becoming a popular shopping district for young people.
Honoka Kosaka's eyes were fixed on Yan Xi, not forgetting his promise to treat them to burgers.
"Let's go eat first." Yan Xi couldn't handle Honoka Kosaka's stare and spoke first.
"Yay!" Honoka Kosaka shouted excitedly.
Eri felt embarrassed, shouting in the streets, she definitely wouldn't do that.
"Is a fast food place okay?" Yan Xi asked.
Nozomi and Eri didn't mind.
The four of them headed to the nearest McDonald's, and Yan Xi went to order.
Honoka Kosaka was only focused on eating, while Nozomi and Eri had many things to consider.
Like paying.
In Japan, a significant proportion of girls practice AA even when going out with their boyfriends, let alone just friends.
This isn't meant to be a comparison, in Yan Xi's previous life in China, there were also many virtuous and good girls. It all comes down to the individual.
Yan Xi returned with their order, but Nozomi and Eri insisted on paying.
He declined twice, but they wouldn't relent, so he reluctantly accepted.
Fortunately, he had anticipated this and hadn't used the "McDonald's freedom" waste method, otherwise, it would have been quite awkward for Nozomi and Eri to split the bill.
Honoka Kosaka worriedly thought to herself, maybe she should pay too.
Yan Xi said, "You don't need to, I really didn't want Nozomi and Eri's money."
Honoka Kosaka said nonchalantly, "Okay!"
Honoka Kosaka was enjoying her meal when Yan Xi suddenly said, "Don't you want to be a school idol? Don't you need to manage your figure?"
Honoka Kosaka: "???"
Was it really okay to talk about this while eating?
Honoka Kosaka kept her mouth full, finding it hard to swallow.
Eri said calmly, "Honoka doesn't exercise enough."
As the captain of the school's archery club, Eri had no psychological burden, her daily training was enough.
As for Nozomi, it seemed she was built to not gain weight, her waist was slender and soft.
Honoka Kosaka was still struggling.
Eri added another blow, "So, Honoka, who can't even overcome this, how do you intend to become a school idol?"
"Ahhhh!!!"
Finally, Honoka Kosaka gave up on thinking and ate with gusto, she would worry about that after filling her stomach first.
After the meal, Honoka Kosaka lay back with no elegance, one hand rubbing her stomach.
"I think… I'm a little full."
"Who told you to eat so much!" Eri reprimanded.
While reprimanding her, she still went to get Honoka some digestive tablets, Eri really was like a mother hen, wasn't she?
Speaking of which, how come she carries digestive tablets on her person?
"Eri, are you reconsidering the school idol thing?" Yan Xi asked.
Eri firmly shook her head, "Absolutely not!"
Wearing cute clothes and singing and dancing on stage… just thinking about it made her blush!
"Yes, yes, yes."
Yan Xi agreed, he had heard this line so many times.
Guess what happens to those who say "I'll never do something again"?
Not to mention the far-off, even closer, there's a living example in Eli Ayase, isn't there?
Although, Eli Ayase's case was a long time ago.
"Too bad, Nozomi has been swayed by us, Eri, you really are missing out." Yan Xi said deliberately.
Nozomi blinked, she hadn't agreed yet, had she?
Eri looked at Nozomi in stunned shock and asked, "Nozomi, is it true?"
Nozomi had no choice, she said apologetically, "Sorry, Eri, I still want to be with Honoka."
Honoka Kosaka's eyes widened in surprise, this came out of nowhere.
Nozomi agreed? When did that happen?
Eri said sadly, "Nozomi, have you betrayed me too?"
Yan Xi complained, "It's just being a school idol, how did you guys manage to make it feel like a morality play about a wife and a mistress!"
Yan Xi had no doubt, if Honoka was a boy, these three would be enacting a White Album scenario in no time.
Honoka Kosaka took the opportunity and stretched out her hand to Eri.
"Eri, you really should come with us!"
"I refuse!" Eri was still resolute.
"If you don't come, I'll use this photo as my phone's lock screen wallpaper!" Honoka Kosaka threatened.
It was the photo of Eri blowing a kiss.
Nozomi enviously thought, she wanted to be Honoka's phone wallpaper too!
"Where did you get this photo!?" Eri exclaimed, then glared at Yan Xi.
Yan Xi innocently said, "It's not me, I don't know anything."
Eri was easily fooled, seeing Yan Xi's sincere expression, she gradually let go of her suspicion.
Even if she didn't know where the photo came from, it was an undeniable fact that Honoka had it on her phone.
"Give it to me, delete it!"
At this moment, Eri turned into a shura.
