“Yuen Xi classmate...” Goto Ichirī whispered.
“What is it?”
“That... um... there's something...”
Pocchi-chan stammered, finding it hard to speak.
“Don’t speak so slowly!” Yuen Xi said impatiently.
“Yes!” Goto Ichirī was startled and blurted out: “Could you please ask Sakurajima Mai-san for me, I want to buy two autographed photos!”
Yuen Xi asked: “How much are you willing to pay?”
“Ah? This is the money my mom saved for me to use for marriage in the future...”
Yuen Xi was dumbfounded, saying: “You don't carry it around with you all the time, do you?!”
“Ah, no, it's...”
Goto Ichirī stammered again.
She had indeed been carrying it recently, intending to use the money from her piggy bank to 'redeem herself'.
She still hadn't given up on the idea of giving up on her part-time job.
“Sorry for the wait.”
Raphael and Sakurajima Mai came out of the kitchen after washing the dishes and utensils.
“Goto-san, you don't need to use such a precious thing.”
Sakurajima Mai had heard the conversation between the two, her gaze shifting between Yuen Xi and the important piggy bank.
Did he just want to take it?
“Because the company has regulations, autographed photos are not allowed, but just a normal signature is fine, is that okay?” Sakurajima Mai asked with a smile.
“Ah...”
Pocchi-chan was speechless with excitement.
Sakurajima Mai wrote two signatures on a notebook and tore them off to give to Goto Ichirī.
Sakurajima Mai’s signature was elegant and graceful, but Yuen Xi’s focus was different.
“You were using my notebook just now, weren't you?”
Sakurajima Mai said: “I had no choice, I didn't bring a notebook I could write on.”
“I checked this notebook, it doesn't have any content, probably used for something like propping up a table.”
“Is there a problem?”
Yuen Xi retorted: “What if it was a notebook given to you by your first love with sentimental value?”
“Do you have a first love?” Sakurajima Mai glanced at Yuen Xi, her little eyes a bit insulting.
What do you mean, it's strange that he has a first love?
… although it’s true that he doesn't.
Yuen Xi's silence was the best answer.
Sakurajima Mai was satisfied with the result, a smile spreading across her lips.
Goto Ichirī struggled to utter two words of 'thank you', she was constantly on edge within five meters of Sakurajima Mai.
She looks a little pitiful, isn't she going to get a nervous breakdown?
After dinner, Pocchi-chan forget it, Raphael didn't have any intention of going back.
Yuen Xi could only take the initiative, saying: “Shouldn't you be going back?”
This was mainly directed at Raphael.
Raphael pretended to be pitiful and said: “It's so late, it's dangerous for me, a girl, to go home alone.”
Dangerous?
It's dangerous to meet a bad guy like you!
Maybe if a Holy Light spell is cast, they'll immediately reform and confess their crimes at the police station, confessing all the wrong things they've done before, and then happily receive the prison package.
It is said that heaven has regulations forbidding angels from using magic in the human world.
Thinking differently, as long as it's not discovered, isn't it possible to use it freely?
“Then what do you want?” Yuen Xi asked.
“I heard from Sakurajima-senpai that you are going to stay at A-Xi's house tonight?” Raphael asked with a wink.
“... then what?”
Yuen Xi expressed that he hadn't heard about this, but Sakurajima Mai stayed at his house every time she came to Tokyo, almost becoming a habit!
“So please let me stay overnight too!” Raphael was shamelessly thick-skinned to a whole new level.
“Ha?!” Yuen Xi was completely stunned.
Sakurajima Mai enthusiastically said: “If it's inconvenient to go back alone, I can help you call a car.”
Taxis in Japan are notoriously expensive, Sakurajima Mai subtly showed off her wealth again.
Of course, it could also be intentional.
“How can that be, how can I let Sakurajima-senpai spend money on that!” Raphael politely refused Sakurajima Mai's kindness, then pulled Goto Ichirī into her plan.
“Pocchi-chan too, it takes two hours to get back now, it's really too dangerous for a girl to go back alone.”
That’s true.
Unlike Raphael, Goto Ichirī had an inherent 'I'm easy to bully' feel to her, and going back alone late at night was indeed dangerous.
Sakurajima Mai said in surprise: “Your commute is so long?”
Goto Ichirī whispered: “Because... I want to go to a place where no one knows me.”
Sakurajima Mai: “...”
Yuen Xi nodded in approval.
“I understand.”
Sakurajima Mai was even more speechless, what kind of dark and tragic past do these two have!
“So, Pocchi-chan, stay here tonight!” Raphael said, hugging Goto Ichirī.
“Hey, what about my opinion!” Yuen Xi said unhappily.
This was a lie, in fact, he was very happy.
Having a sleepover with three beautiful girls, to be honest, as an old virgin, his repressed heart was throbbing with excitement.
But he couldn’t show it, otherwise he would appear very lecherous.
It’s like when a girl posts a slightly suggestive video, you know what you want to see, she knows what you want to see, but you can’t say it, if you say it, then you're a creep.
Yuen Xi knew the truth of the saying “three monks without water to drink”.
If it was just Sakurajima Mai tonight, with a bit of effort he could have taken things further.
But with Raphael and Goto Ichirī added… tonight he would only be sleeping solo!
“What does Mai-san think?” Yuen Xi threw the question to Sakurajima Mai.
Sakurajima Mai said to Yuen Xi: “You're the master here, you decide.”
Sakurajima Mai already had an answer in her heart.
Yuen Xi would not turn a blind eye to people in need, just like she had back then.
If Yuen Xi knew what Sakurajima Mai was thinking, he would probably laugh out loud and say she has good judgment.
He's just kind-hearted, not lustful at all!
“This is just this once, no more next time.” Yuen Xi said with a ‘helpless’ expression.
“Yay!” Raphael said, hugging Goto Ichirī: “That’s great, Pocchi-chan, let’s get along well tonight!”
“Eh eh eh?!!”
Goto Ichirī's entire face collapsed, sinking into despair.
She hadn’t had a chance to say a word, and they had already decided she was staying!?
Sleeping in the same room as that ‘Sakurajima Mai’!?
She really can’t do it!
“Pocchi-chan, you’re so happy you can’t even speak.” Raphael acted as Pocchi-chan’s ‘mouthpiece’.”
Well, she really has a rebellious ‘mouth’.”
Pocchi-chan: “...”
Do I look like I'm happy!?
Wuu wuu, I want to go home~
