“If I remember correctly,” Iiji Takuto said, glancing down at the belt Shirafuji Yasumi had mentioned. After thinking for a moment, he replied.
"Taimi, you seem to be wearing this belt a lot lately."
“Yes,” Shirafuji Yasumi nodded, smiling as she said, “because that way I can be like my idol!”
"By the way, to thank you for your hospitality at noon, if you'd like, please come and have dinner with us!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Ayumi suddenly remembered the heated argument from before, and the smile on her face immediately became unnatural.
After a midday, Shirafuji Yasumi seemed to have forgotten about the matter. When Ayumi invited them, she politely asked.
Is it really possible?
Having already spoken, Ayumi hesitated for a moment before smiling and nodding, replying, "Yes! Consider it a thank you for the lunch."
"Thank you so much." Shirafuji Yasumi nodded with a smile, unaware of the unnatural smile on Ayumi's face.
"I'm really happy to hear you say that." Fukuura Reiji walked slowly toward the group with his hands in his pockets. Hearing Ayumi's invitation, his face was full of smiles as he spoke.
"Then, we can leisurely go and have some fun before dinner."
“Sounds good.” Iiji Takuto nodded with a smile.
They were all smiling as they discussed, but Ayumi was a little worried. She turned her head and glanced in Kouyu's direction, muttering to herself.
"Or we can talk to Guangyou about it later."
"Ayumi, what are you thinking about?" Mitsuhiko asked, puzzled, looking at Ayumi who seemed to have something on her mind.
"It's nothing." Ayumi snapped out of her reverie and shook her head.
"If Ayumi needs help, I can help!" Mitsuhiko said, patting his chest with a confident expression.
"Thank you, Mitsuhiko." Ayumi smiled at Mitsuhiko, shook her head, and said, "However, I don't need your help for now."
"If you need anything, Ayumi, you must tell me!" Mitsuhiko looked at Ayumi's smile and couldn't help but smile back.
"Me too!" Genta raised his hand, not to be outdone, and said, "I can help too!"
"Genta, you're lucky you didn't mess things up." Mitsuhiko's smile faded as he glanced at the confident Genta and said.
“How could you say that, Mitsuhiko?” Genta retorted, pursing his lips. “You’re no better than me.”
"Alright!" Ayumi stepped in to smooth things over. She deliberately put on a stern face, glanced at the two of them, and said, "I really don't need any help right now. If I did, I would definitely call you!"
With Ayumi stepping in to smooth things over, Mitsuhiko and Genta couldn't even start arguing.
Seeing that the two had quieted down, Ayumi nodded in satisfaction and said to them, "I'll go find Kousuke first, and then we'll play together again later!"
After greeting the two, Ayumi took small, quick steps and walked towards Kouyu.
She needs to go and say hello to Guangyou first.
Watching Ayumi's departing figure, Mitsuhiko suddenly sighed.
Genta, however, didn't seem to notice anything; he was already thinking about dinner.
"Tonight's dinner will be quite a feast, won't it?" Genta imagined what the dinner would contain and couldn't help but smack his lips.
"There's still a lot of grilled meat left, plus the curry rice I brought...wow, I feel like having dinner right now!"
After taking a while to compose himself, Mitsuhiko turned to look at Genta and couldn't help but speak up when he heard him say those words.
"Genta, we just finished eating barbecue not long ago!"
"That's just what I was thinking." Genta scratched his head, then laughed and gently patted Mitsuhiko's shoulder.
"Mitsuhiko, let's go play first. We can play hide-and-seek when Ayumi arrives!"
"Hmm." Mitsuhiko smiled again, looking at the surrounding grove of trees, and said, "Playing in the woods will definitely be more fun!"
"That's right!" Yuan Tai pumped his fist and said, "When the time comes, I'll be a detective, and I'll definitely be able to catch you all!"
"Why is Genta the detective?!" Mitsuhiko said, dissatisfied. "I want to be a detective too!"
After thinking for a moment, Yuan Tai said, "Then I'll take turns, you take turns, and we'll take turns!"
“Okay!” Mitsuhiko nodded, agreeing with Genta’s suggestion.
After discussing it, the two walked slowly along the riverbank.
While Genta wasn't paying attention, Mitsuhiko turned his head to look in Ayumi's direction, but quickly turned back and sighed.
He didn't know that Ayumi had only contacted Kousuke to let him know about dinner in advance, and not what he thought.
If Guangyou knew, he would definitely sigh.
...
At this moment, Ayumi had already come to Kousuke's side and told him about dinner.
"Dinner, right... Okay." After considering it for a moment, Kōyū nodded.
He only agreed because of Ayumi; Ayumi had already extended an invitation to them, so Kōyū didn't mind giving Ayumi face.
If we argue, he'll definitely argue again. He's not that petty; he's just vengeful and likes to seize opportunities for revenge.
To prioritize the overall situation, Guangyou could put these minor matters aside for the time being.
Besides, Haruka Tendo has already apologized on behalf of that person, and Kouyuu has accepted it.
Even if Ayumi didn't tell him, he wouldn't do anything out of line during dinner.
At most, he would just use the excuse of "enjoying the night view while having dinner" to drag Ai to eat somewhere else.
Um?
That's a pretty good reason.
Thinking of this, Guangyou nodded to himself.
Seeing that Kōyū nodded in agreement, Ayumi's furrowed brows instantly relaxed, and a bright smile appeared on her lovely face.
"Thank you, Guangyou!"
She was initially worried that Guangyou would refuse.
After all, the two almost came to blows before, so it would be perfectly normal for Kousuke to refuse to eat with Fukuura Reiji.
"It's alright." Guangyou waved his hand, not taking the matter to heart.
Just sit further away from Fukuura Reiji then, or we can follow that idea and take Ai to eat somewhere else.
Actually, Guangyou still prefers the latter.
"Then I'll go find them to play first, Kyou!" Ayumi smiled sweetly at Kyou, then turned around to find her two other friends.
“Go ahead.” Guangyou nodded and smiled in return.
After Ayumi left, Ai suddenly asked, "What do you think of Ayumi?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Ai realized there was something wrong with her words, so she added, "I was talking about the smile on her face, don't get the wrong idea."
As it turns out, Ai's words came a little too late.
At this moment, Kousuke was looking at Ai with a slightly strange expression. What Ai said... was really too misleading!
However, Kōsuke also knew that Ai didn't mean it that way.
