180, Cultural Festival (3)(2/3)
Ying Lili couldn't help but blinked, and then squinted at someone, "Hmm, just like the rumors, she really called you brother. Are you just playing luck? Are you free?"
"Fate? Sora?" Serizawa tilted her head in confusion, "Hey, Brother Yu, what does that mean?"
"It's nothing, it's just a game, you don't need to worry about it." Kato Yusuke said perfunctorily.
"It's a game..." Serizawa Yu nodded in understanding, with indifferent thoughts on his face.
Seeing her expression ready to investigate afterwards, Kato Yusuke had to cough heavily.
"...Listen to me, Xiao Xi. The game Ying Lili just talked about is not for your type. Don't just learn about it just because you are curious."
"Eh~ Is that so? Well, then I understand, Brother Yu."
After hearing his words, Serizawa Yu immediately gave up the related thoughts and put one of his arms into her arms.
Even through the thick props and costumes, Kato Yusuke could vaguely feel the softness of a girl, but as an "older brother" he didn't think much of it.
Ying Lili, who was standing next to her, watched their interaction and said something coldly.
"Why do you mean it's not for her type? The publisher obviously said it's okay. Where did you come from?"
Kato Yusuke looked at her strangely and replied:
"I think there is a difference between age permission and actual situation. If something bad happens to you Yinglili, I will also stop you."
Hearing his answer, Yinglili couldn't help but blink two or three times.
"...You said you would stop it, what do you mean to stop it? The subject matter I am involved in has already entered the deep sea area, right?"
After all, what she is best at is the Ling? series, and squids live in the deep sea.
Kato Yusuke smiled and pondered: "Well - but that's just the creative aspect, right? I mean the practical aspect."
"Realistic... level...?"
"Well, for example, if someone bullies you, or has any bad intentions towards you, or wants to play with your feelings..."
"——What do you mean?"
"If something like that happens, even if it makes you angry, I will drive all those guys away."
"Eh--?"
Yinglili was stunned for a moment, then...
Suddenly, her whole face turned red.
"Stupid, stupid, even if you say that...I, I won't be happy. It's better to say, it will only make people feel annoyed!"
"Really?" Kato Yusuke looked at her incoherent appearance, couldn't help but smile and touched her head, and said warmly:
"In that case, I will apologize to you later, but I will still stick to my own ideas and always protect you."
"——!"
Yinglili's mouth opened and closed for a while, and finally looked away with a "hum".
Then, she gently pinched the corner of his clothes with one hand and whispered: "Whatever, whatever you want..."
"..."
Serizawa looked at her reaction curiously, and when she was about to say something, such a conversation suddenly sounded in front of her.
"Well, we are students visiting here from Sakuragage Academy. Can I ask you a question? Shopkeeper."
The girl in charge of the stall couldn't help being shocked when she heard this.
"Sakuragage Academy? Isn't that a school for young ladies as famous as Yotsuya Futaba Academy...!"
"Thank you for your praise. Sorry, we are actually here today to see classmate Xiaoyou. Can I ask you where we can meet him in person?"
Two girls in uniform asked modestly, with a bit of expectation in their eyes.
"Xiaoyu-san? Ah~ you are talking about President Kato of our school, right?"
"Yes~! Do you know where he is?"
"Well, I'm sorry, actually I haven't seen President Kato since this morning, but you can go and have a look at his class? It's in the first-year Class E on the first floor of the teaching building."
"That's it, thank you~!"
"You're welcome~ You are not the first people to ask this, haha. Also, here are the two cups of milk tea you ordered~"
"
Thanks.""
The two girls thanked them politely, then walked towards the teaching building with milk tea.
Serizawa Yu turned around and looked to her side, finally understanding why the boy was dressed like this today.
…
After buying two cups of bubble milk tea and two octopus balls from the stall, the three of them returned to their respective places.
While they were shopping, Sayuri Sawamura and Mina Motoyama got along quite well, and were chatting and laughing about something.
Ying Lili looked around and saw no sign of Leonard, so she asked: "Mom, where is dad and the others?"
"Hmm~ Your father said that he is going to visit the Animation Research Club to see Y's activities. Let's go find him later."
"That's it..."
"What about Kato-kun?" Sayuri Sawamura asked with a smile.
"Mina-san and I have already agreed to go to the cultural festival together. Do you want to take Xiao Xi and Eiriri alone, or do you want to go with us?"
Kato Yusuke looked at Motoyama Mina, who also nodded affirmatively to him, which seemed to agree with Sawamura Sayuri's words.
"...Well, I'm sorry."
He said apologetically: "Actually, I have other things to do next, so I can't act with everyone."
Hearing this, Serizawa Xi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but immediately smiled and said: "Well, it's okay, Brother Yu, I just want to go see Xiaoxiang, so you don't have to worry about me."
Ying Lili wrinkled her nose slightly and said nothing.
Sayuri Sawamura looked at their reactions, and then said: "Well, since there is nothing we can do about it, then Kato-kun should go and get busy first."
Considering that he may have a job, no one is dissatisfied.
"By the way, Xiao Xi, Ying Lili."
Kato Yusuke reached into his pocket and took out two bath balls, one orange and one gold, and handed them into their hands respectively, "This is a gift for you."
After taking it home and freezing it last night, the bath ball in the mold has become much firmer and is slightly shiny under the sunlight, which is very beautiful.
"Wow, is this for me? It's so beautiful...Thank you Brother Yu...!"
Compared to the lively and cheerful Serizawa Yu, Eiri said a shy thank you in a low voice.
"It's just a little thing, don't worry about it."
Kato Yusuke shook his head, and then said goodbye to several people, "Then I'll leave first. Everyone, if anything happens, just contact me."
"Well, goodbye, Kato-kun."
"Be safe, Xiaoyou."
"Bye~ Brother Yu."
"..."
Looking at Kato Yusuke's leaving figure, Erili couldn't help but feel a touch of loss on her face.
…
In order to plan the next itinerary, Motoyama Mina and Serizawa Yuu studied the guide book together.
Ying Lili looked down at the golden bath ball in her hand, and carefully brought it up to her nose and smelled it. A faint scent of lilies then floated into her nostrils.
It smelled very good, but she felt a little sad for some reason, and her shoulders drooped unconsciously.
The next second, a pair of warm palms touched her shoulders.
"Listen to me, Yinglili."
"Mother……?"
Ignoring her puzzled expression, Sawamura Sayuri squatted next to her and said softly: "Although this is just a little bit of my mother's thoughts, Kato-kun obviously only regards you as my sister now, right?"
Eiriri couldn't help but be stunned, and then she subconsciously wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Sayuri Sawamura.
"So, if you don't want to be viewed like this forever, you have to change your mindset?"
"change your mind……?"
"Well~ after all, you wouldn't be happy if you were always treated like a child, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have the expression just now."
"I just... didn't..."
The girl retorted without any confidence and fell silent, "But...his attitude is also very irritating."
Sayuri Sawamura chuckled.
