Nakano Mayu looked at the timid little quail and sighed inwardly.

Although Haneda's mother does not seem to be a particularly qualified mother, the relationship between mother and daughter should be quite deep.

I'm just looking for a man who belongs to the scumbag type. Maybe he has a brain similar to Ryoko-chan's, a rough-and-tumble type?

However, it is really not convenient for me to say anything about this kind of housework, so I can only do my best to help the little quail.

No matter how many things I do, I can't do it now.

This time, Nakano Mayu had experience. He stopped looking at the older ladies wearing cool clothes on the roadside and those health shops with strange names.

He just kept his eyes on the road in front of him, and then when he arrived at the small alley that we went through last time, he prepared to get in without saying a word...

"Um..." Little Quail called out from behind. When the boy looked back, she said softly: "Let's go... along the street today?"

"Why take the street if you can't take a shortcut?" Nakano Mayu's eyes were clear and he looked at the girl with some confusion.

"Because...well...that..."

"Oh, are you a little afraid of the dark?" He looked at the alley, which was still the same as last time. Only the alley with dim light bulbs on the top illuminated it, and said with a smile: "Afraid of the dark is holding my hand just like before.

Clothes, they will arrive soon..."

"..." Haneda Qingxia did not reply, but silently grabbed the boy's already wrinkled hem.

He smiled when he saw the little quail's somewhat nervous expression. Perhaps she met two little guys in the alley last time, which made her subconsciously reject this path.

It means "Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of well ropes for ten years."

But this kind of thing can only be said to be an extremely rare event. Even in the most chaotic Adachi District in Tokyo, it is impossible to encounter such trouble every day.

Not to mention that this is Shinjuku, one of the four richest areas.

There are police patrols everywhere. They are usually not gangsters who have had a cerebral hemorrhage for ten years. They rarely cause trouble in such wealthy areas.

The two of them walked into the same dim alley as last time. He felt that the girl behind him seemed a little nervous. She was holding the hem of his clothes tightly and dragging him down, almost strangling his neck.

Already.

"Haneda-senpai, I'm warning you, don't think that because the alley is so dark, you can plot something against me!"

Nakano Mayu, who was walking, said without looking back.

"Pfft..."

The girl behind him was stunned for a moment, then she burst out laughing as if she couldn't help it, and then the sound immediately disappeared again.

He knew that it must be the little quail that covered his mouth with his hand.

You smile so beautifully, why are you so afraid of others seeing your smile?

The unjustly accused Quail Senior behind her fell silent again, seeming to be accumulating courage.

After a while, the girl finally plucked up the courage to speak out a retort, but her voice was almost as low as a mosquito buzzing: "You...you are shameless..."

If the alley wasn't really quiet, Nakano Mayu wouldn't be able to guarantee that he would be able to hear clearly.

"Huh?" He raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, feeling a little amused.

This was the first time this little quail scolded him. Why did he suddenly feel a strange sense of relief?

Do you have...

No, this is absolutely impossible!

"You're so good, why are you scolding me all of a sudden? Didn't you suddenly touch my butt in the alley last time? Have you forgotten?"

In order to seize the moral high ground, Nakano Shinsuke immediately launched an offensive to clear up old scores.

"I...I didn't mean it..." When the little quail heard him talking about this matter again, his voice became even softer, and he didn't feel confident anymore.

After all, she really touched the boy's buttocks last time.

"Haha!" He sneered and said righteously: "You can just say something that is not intentional and let others talk about it? Is there such a good thing in this world?!"

"Ugh..." It seemed that the young man's tone was too serious. The accused little quail didn't know what to say for a while. After thinking about it, he could only reply weakly: "Yes... I'm sorry!"

"Didn't I tell you not to apologize casually?"

"but..."

"Then as long as you promise me not to apologize to anyone casually in the future when it is not your fault, I will forgive you for this matter, how about it?"

The two of them were about to walk out of the alley while they were talking.

Haneda Kiyonatsu's nervousness disappeared at some point.

"..."

Because he was close to the alley, the clear light from the street lamp shone outside the alley, illuminating the tall and strong figure of the young man in front of him.

Amano Gao's pure white school uniform shirt, made of thick material, looked a little see-through under this light, and the young man's thick back muscles wrapped in the shirt loomed in front of his eyes.

This was the first time she saw a boy's body of her own age so close up, and her cheeks felt slightly hot for a moment.

She quickly let go of the boy's clothes, paused, and distanced herself from him.

But because he had already walked out of the alley at this time, Nakano Mayu in front of him didn't pay attention.

After all, it's okay to drag your clothes while walking in a dark alley, but if you do it on a brightly lit street, even he might feel a little embarrassed.

So he simply thought that the girl behind him let go because he walked out of the alley.

Because I am a seasoned veteran, the time it took me to walk back to my senior’s house from the tram station was nearly half the time it took last time.

It felt like the two of them had just chatted for a few words and then reached their destination.

Nakano Mayu looked at the dilapidated apartment building in front of him. He didn't know what he thought of. He suddenly turned to Haneda Kiyoka and asked, "Do you have anything to eat when you go home tonight?"

"Yes...some..."

It seems to be because he ate too much at noon, at least he hasn't felt too hungry yet.

The quail senior in front of me is feeling better than in the morning and noon. At least her stomach has not made a growling sound until now.

"What's there to eat?"

The two of them had arrived at the downstairs of Haneda's dilapidated apartment. Nakano Mayu turned around and asked Quail-senpai face to face.

"Just...it depends on what mom keeps, and I eat whatever I want..."

Haneda Qingxia lowered her little head, not daring to look at the boy in front of her.

"Can't you do it yourself?"

"I...I can't cook..."

Senior Quail's tone sounded a bit shocking. She seemed to have a more traditional personality. She thought it was strange for a girl that she didn't know how to cook?

Nakano Mayu stroked his chin and asked:

"Why can't you cook?"

"Ugh..." The little quail seemed a little ashamed by his question, and his little head lowered a little: "I tried it when I was a child, but I accidentally broke it..."

"Idiot, it's normal to break things when you were a kid. After all, you don't understand anything. How can you still do it now that you've grown up? If you can cook yourself, you can make your own lunch and take it to school, and it can also reduce some of the burden on your mother.

Isn't it?"

"Well..." The girl nodded slightly, seeming to agree with what he said.

"Let's go upstairs!"

"Oh..." After the girl responded, she also raised her hand and waved to him, looking at him as if she was ready to say goodbye.

"What are you looking at? I'll go up with you and teach you how to cook!"
