"Thanks."

Although Kiritani Tetsuya was a little surprised when Hoshino Aihime handed him an identical bottle of iced drink, he still reached out and took it quite naturally.

When taking the ice drink prepared by the girl for him, Kiritani Tetsuya's finger happened to touch Hoshino Aihime's finger.

Maybe it was because the girl had been holding the ice drink for a long time. When she touched the other person's fingertips, a faint coldness immediately came from Kiritani Tetsuya's fingertips, which was also mixed with a little smoothness and softness. Kiritani Tetsuya couldn't help but feel...

For the time being, I ignored the cooler touch on the surface of the can.

But at this moment, when Kiritani Tetsuya was about to take the ice drink steadily from the other party's hand, Hoshino Aihime subconsciously withdrew her little hand, and the micro-expression on her beautiful face seemed to be that she had not expected this.

Unplanned physical contact is common, and there is a natural resistance to it.

And this subtle change happened to be noticed by Kiritani Tetsuya.

Of course, Kiritani Tetsuya almost lost his grip on the ice drink he just received.

This time, the way he looked at Hoshino Aiji couldn't help but change slightly.

After all, it was just an accidental touching of fingers. Kiritani Tetsuya had no idea that this divine girl would have such a big reaction.

The surrounding air seemed to solidify at this moment.

Fortunately, Hoshino Aihime realized her abnormal behavior just the next moment.

Just when Kiritani Tetsuya was a little overwhelmed by this sudden development, the girl quickly adjusted her mood and then spoke in a distressed voice.

"Recently, for some reason, my palms always generate static electricity for no reason. I was accidentally electrocuted when I was in contact with Tetsuya just now."

While speaking, Hoshino Aihime put the hand that had just been in contact with Kiritani Tetsuya on her white and smooth thigh and wiped it.

"Look, there should be no static electricity now."

At this time, the girl took the initiative to stretch out her slightly cold hands, and then wrapped Kiritani Tetsuya's other free palm in them.

It seemed to be to dispel the doubts that arose in Kiritani Tetsuya's heart, or to overcome the obstacle in his heart. This time Hoshino Aihime did not show any obvious signs of resistance, and just put her palm on the surface of Kiritani Tetsuya's left hand and said

.

"Hmm, I really don't feel any static electricity on your hands now."

Kiritani Tetsuya responded in a cooperative manner, and then slowly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Just now, he almost felt that his "date" was about to end before it even started.

"Then let's walk around first to see if there is any fun and cool place."

After adjusting his mentality again, Kiritani Tetsuya tried to suggest.

According to Kiritani Tetsuya's original plan, today's date was planned to start at the shopping street directly opposite the station square, then transfer the travel route to the nearby shopping mall at noon, and finally take the train to Shinagawa Aquarium and end there.

A day trip.

But seeing the scorching sun above his head and the record-high outdoor temperature, Kiritani Tetsuya wanted to give up wandering around the shopping street and transition directly to shopping malls.

"Well, that's what I thought too."

Regarding Kiritani Tetsuya's proposal, Hoshino Aihime said with a pretty face in agreement, and the hands that were attached to each other finally slowly retracted their hands at this moment.

After discussing the date plan, both of them stood up from the flower bed in unison.

"Then let's get started."

Before leaving, Hoshino Aihime threw the empty can into the trash can and tidied up the slightly messy gauze clothes on her upper body. Then she looked at Kiritani Tetsuya and said.

"Yeah." Kiritani Tetsuya responded softly.

"..."

After thinking for a moment, he finally stretched out his arm and took Hoshino Aihime's free little hand in his own with fingers interlaced.

After all, if he didn't take the initiative to get closer to the other person, Kiritani Tetsuya was worried that he would appear a little stiff and the girl would see some flaws.

So after a short period of deliberation, he still chose to put Hoshino Aihime's little hand in his palm.

Fortunately, this time the coldness in Kiritani Tetsuya's hand did not show any unexpected resistance, but quietly intertwined with Kiritani Tetsuya's fingers.

Looking back, the girl's delicate little face looked leisurely and natural, and even had a hint of enjoyment in it.

At least that's what it looks like from the outside.

But this was enough to make Tetsuya Kiritani breathe a sigh of relief and feel relieved for a moment.

Looking at the green light that had just turned on in front of him, Kiritani Tetsuya took Hoshino Aihime's slightly petite and cold hand and walked towards the opposite side of the square.

On the way to the shopping mall, Kiritani Tetsuya would take the initiative to start a conversation and chat with the godly girl next to him from time to time to prevent the journey from becoming too dull and boring.

Of course, Hoshino Aihime would respond very cooperatively to every conversation Tetsuya Kiritani spoke to. Although sometimes the answers given were a bit ambiguous, at least they did not reveal any impatience.

So far, although it cannot be said that the other party has played the "character" of Utsunomiya Miu quite realistically, at least he can't see any of Hoshino Aihime's usual appearance in the girl next to him.

From this point of view alone, as long as Hoshino Aihime does not show her prejudice against her or even her dislike of being fair, Kiritani Tetsuya feels that it is enough to go on with today's date smoothly.

The only thing that made him feel inadequate was that the girl might still be a little nervous about this date.

Of course, this kind of nervousness is not the kind of nervousness caused by dating a boy for the first time, but the kind of nervousness that worries oneself from playing the role of a bad couple and that the other party will see some flaws.

And this tension manifested itself in the fact that Hoshino Aihime's little hand that was being held became stronger and stronger, and began to hold Kiritani Tetsuya's hand tightly. In the end, it even reached a point where even Kiritani Tetsuya couldn't bear it.

.

After walking through the intersection ahead, Kiritani Tetsuya finally couldn't bear the pain of being squeezed forcibly.

While the girl was bending down to tie her shoelaces, he hurriedly looked for an opportunity to switch places with Hoshino Aihime.

"What's wrong?"

After tying her shoelaces, the girl looked at Kiritani Tetsuya who suddenly came to the other side of her, and then asked aloud.

"There seem to be more vehicles coming and going here. It's safer if you go inside."

Facing the girl's slightly confused gaze, Kiritani Tetsuya smiled and explained.

Of course he would not say in front of the girl that he just wanted to change his hand to bear the pain of being squeezed.

Just like walking on the road carrying a heavy bag, you always have to change your arms from time to time so that both hands can get a certain amount of rest during the journey.

For Kiritani Tetsuya, the two things are almost the same.

"Oh, thank you."
