Could it be that he was under too much financial pressure because he had to pay for his meals every day during this period?

"It's too... too dangerous, please... just don't do it, okay?"

"Um???"

Nakano Mayu, who was turning his head to continue to listen to the noise next door, suddenly heard his senior sister's words, and a question mark appeared on his face.

"Even if I don't have money...it doesn't matter. I...I will work hard..."

Although Senior Quail's tone of voice was still weak and somewhat intermittent, her pretty little face was full of perseverance.

This was an expression he had rarely seen on a girl's face before, but it made him a little startled.

"Although I can't make much money now, I will study hard and I will definitely make a lot of money after graduating from college. Then...well...it doesn't matter if I don't take such risks..."

The girl's weak but firm voice sounded again.

Although Nakano Mayu didn't know why the girl said these words, he was touched when he saw that the girl who had always been weak could actually say such things.

"Idiot, what nonsense are you talking about? I haven't reached the point where I need financial support from my friends to support myself, right?"

He reached out and pinched the senior sister's soft white face.

It seems that because she was wearing a coat, even though the air-conditioning in the mall was very strong, the girl's face still felt warm and moist to the touch, as smooth as a piece of warm jade.

"Woo..."

Senior Sister Quail seemed to be hurt by his pinch, so she whimpered and raised her hand to cover his palm, but she seemed to dare not disobey his will and did not try to open his palm.

Because of the height difference, I could only look up at him with pitiful eyes, as if she was silently aggrieved (〃＞＿＜;〃).

Nakano Mayu released his palm and scratched his head.

He felt like he was almost made cute by the look in his senior sister's eyes just now...

The cute expression that only appears on domestic animals cured his original irritable mood a lot.

"Don't worry, I didn't do anything. My class teacher introduced me to a regular part-time job. If you don't believe it, I can take you to confirm with her then..."

"Is...regular part-time job?"

"Yes!"

"Oh, okay..." The girl pursed her lips, and her face suddenly turned rosy.

It was as if it was only now that he realized how shameful he was for what he had just said in a fit of rage.

She quickly turned her head and continued to act like an ostrich.

When Nakano Mayu saw this, he smiled, then turned around and quietly opened a crack in the door and looked out.

The little loli with ADHD who was standing at the door of the locker room just now has indeed disappeared.

I guess I was bored standing around and didn't know where to go to play at this time.

This kind of store is really not suitable for little lolita.

Nice!

He silently gave a thumbs up to the little Lolita and decided to bring one less tutorial book to his next visit.

"You will follow me out in two minutes and come to me directly at the entrance of the mall. Let's buy somewhere else..."

He first turned around and said something to Senior Quail, then silently opened the door, looked around, and prepared to walk out of the store without looking back.

If you delay any longer, the saleslady may knock on the door, and then it will be really troublesome.

It's just that he didn't notice that there was a child not far behind him behind a clothes hanger.

Hachiyanagi Aiho watched him come out of the locker room, grinning from ear to ear in surprise.

When Nakano Mayu was about to reach the door of the store, a crisp and shocked shout suddenly came from not far behind him: "Onii-sama!!"

He looked bitter, pretended not to hear, and walked out faster.

"Brother, wait for me!"

The voice of Little Lolita Ai Sui was approaching at a very fast speed, and it seemed that she was already running.

But the little loli can run, but he can't.

In a place like a shopping mall, if a grown man runs with a little girl chasing behind him, he will most likely be regarded as a thief, and a group of security guards will immediately be alerted to block him!

He could only walk forward quickly with a grimace, trying to take advantage of his long legs to get rid of the "short-legged" little loli behind him.

But Ai Sui's speed seemed to be beyond his imagination. Within three breaths, his palm was held by two small, soft palms.

"Huhu..." The little Loli's gasping voice also came from behind: "Brother... Huhu... I am... Huhu... I am Ai Sui..."

His face turned dark.

Of course I know you are Ai Sui!

I also know that you will soon receive a gift package of the complete version of the third-year guidance book for junior high school!

He forced a smile and turned his head, raised his hand to touch the little Loli's head, knelt down and said gently: "What a coincidence, Ai Sui..."

"Yes, brother, my eldest sister, the minister, and I were just shopping with you in a store..."

"Oh, that's a coincidence, but Aiho-chan, my brother is on a secret mission now. Can you not tell others what you saw about me here?"

He tried to use a coaxing tone, trying to deal with the clumsy-looking little loli in front of him.

"Eh?! Secret mission?!"

Ai Sui looked at him with a surprised look on her face, her dark and lively eyes wide open, and she looked very cute.

"Yes, it's a secret mission, so even your eldest sister and Nanako can't talk about it. If Aiho-chan can do it, next time I go to Hachiyanagi's house, I'll bring you your favorite snack, okay?"

"Okay! Aiho wants to eat Dorayaki!"

"What kind of secret mission is Nakano-kun carrying out? Can't even I tell you?"

Suddenly, a burst of joking banter came from behind the two people, one large and one small, who were whispering to each other.

Nakano Mayu's scalp felt numb, he stood up and looked back.

Riho-chan, Quail-senpai and her younger sister were standing together.

Three eyes with different meanings were also focused on his somewhat bitter face at the same time...
