"Wakana, Kitagawa-san, goodbye."
"Goodbye, Akira-kun!" *2
Akira and Sajuna bid farewell to Wakana and his group.
It wasn't even five o'clock yet, and Akira still wanted to go somewhere else with Sajuna, so he didn't take the train with the two of them.
After all, if their presence prevented Wakana from saying, "Kitagawa-san, you are very beautiful," and stirring Marin's heartstrings, then it would be a complete disaster.
Akira didn't want to overdo it in this situation, performing unnecessary actions due to a strange sense of responsibility.
"Sajuna, where should we go play?!"
The sun in the sky was still intense, but a hint of dark yellow sunset was rising on the horizon.
Sajuna hugged Akira's arm, thought for a moment, and then shook her head.
"Can Sajuna be a little more helpful?"
Akira groaned helplessly.
"Let's go shopping!"
Akira finally decided.
Speaking of which, when couples go on dates, don't girls always treat boys like clothes hangers, venting their endless energy?
Why doesn't Sajuna show any inclination like that?!
What is Sajuna doing?
#Sajuna's_State
"Alright! Then let's go."
Akira pulled Sajuna toward a clothing store.
Holding Sajuna's arm, Akira pushed open the door of the clothing store and began picking out suitable clothes for her.
"Hello, would you like me to assist you?"
A sales assistant from nearby walked over, bowing politely.
This was Akira's first time in such a place, but he wasn't shy; instead, he felt righteous about helping his girlfriend choose clothes.
"We'll just look around ourselves."
"Sajuna, do you like any clothes?"
Sajuna didn't refuse anything; after all, she could buy clothes herself.
Even if Aki-kun insisted on paying for her, she would compensate him in other ways later.
After all, Aki-kun wasn't a boy who was overly concerned with saving face; her boyfriend wouldn't suffer for the sake of appearances.
Both of them were adults now, and they had both matured.
"Aki-kun, what kind of clothes do you like?"
Sajuna casually picked up a piece of clothing and asked.
Akira looked up slightly, his right hand on his chin, stroking it. "I think Sajuna looks cute in anything."
"I do have a bit of a hard time choosing."
As for uniform temptation, that can wait.
There aren't any such clothes in this store anyway.
Akira temporarily set aside his little thoughts.
However, what he just said was from his heart; Sajuna's figure really did look good in anything.
After all, while tall girls are also beautiful, there are more cute-type girls in the world.
Sajuna perfectly fit the clothes that suited the majority of pretty girls.
If only she were a little older.
Akira silently made a wish in his heart.
Then he felt that a simple wish like this might not be effective.
He'd better make another wish when he goes to the shrine to draw lots in the future.
"Try on this dress." Akira pointed to a dress nearby; it was a light yellow long dress with tiny white floral patterns, looking both fresh and cute.
"Okay."
Sajuna nodded, asked the sales assistant to take it down, and without much hesitation, took the dress into the changing room.
Rustling sounds of clothes could be heard from inside the changing room.
Akira, waiting outside, began to wonder how such a dress was put on. He always felt it might be a bit troublesome to put on and take off.
After all, the entire dress often only had one zipper or was like pants.
He had seen some examples in certain videos, but he felt they weren't suitable for this situation.
As he thought this, a small pink head peeked out from the changing room, followed by the light yellow long dress she had put on.
Sajuna looked at Akira with pink cheeks, then slowly turned in a circle, looking expectant for his evaluation.
"It suits Sajuna very well."
Akira praised her, though he was a little disappointed that it covered the white stockings he liked to see.
However, everything has its trade-offs, and Akira was someone who could see the good in things.
The light yellow long dress brought out a youthful, first-love aura, and if paired with a pair of pure white cotton socks, it would also be a unique temptation.
To save his own skin, Akira still didn't voice his thoughts.
The time was not yet right.
The store assistant also looked surprised; while the dress was beautiful, few people could carry it with such grace, and often, the uniqueness of the dress might even highlight a person's flaws.
Sajuna's appearance and figure, on the other hand, made the dress seem even more exquisite.
"I'll take it."
Akira looked at the tag; it was a full two hundred thousand yen, a bit pricey.
However, Akira still had over five million yen on his card; if he were to live a muddled life, he wouldn't need other ways to earn money.
People always have to look forward.
"Aki-kun."
Sajuna also felt the high price, having thought it was just an ordinary piece of clothing.
Akira gently stroked Sajuna's head, comforting her. "It's your boyfriend's first gift, will you accept it?"
She could only nod.
The sales assistant cut off the tag and took out a packaging paper bag from a nearby counter, putting the folded clothes inside.
Sajuna tugged at Akira's clothes.
He looked in the direction Sajuna was gazing; two clothes of different sizes hung together, but their patterns were almost identical.
"Sajuna, do you want to buy couple's outfits?"
Akira asked with a smile.
In his previous life, he always bought similar clothes to wear interchangeably, never having the chance to wear actual couple's outfits.
Such a term was almost disappearing from his world.
"I want to wear it with Aki-kun."
Sajuna felt she should be bolder; after all, a man always needs to be held by oneself.
Aki-kun's expression just now was also very surprised!
There was a sense of satisfaction in surprising Aki-kun.
"Please get them for us, attendant."
Akira said; since Sajuna was wearing a dress, he had to choose an indigo blue skirt.
To be honest, paired with pure white stockings, it was a bit alluring.
After changing into a white T-shirt with the same pattern in the changing room, Akira stood in front of the mirror, looking at himself and Sajuna.
"It suits you very well."
Akira praised her, feeling that he and Sajuna were an inseparable whole, wanting to stay with her forever.
"Aki-kun is also very handsome!"
Sajuna also praised him.
"Let's take another photo!" Akira said, pulling out his phone.
Looking at Sajuna, who was full of smiles on the screen, and the clothes that belonged to the same art style, symbolizing their relationship, Akira's face also broke into a wide smile.
It was like lying on a small hillside facing the wind, with dandelion seeds flying past his cheek, and the fragrant scent of wild chrysanthemums and tiny wildflowers blooming nearby, making him wish for time to stop forever.

The happiness in the lens slowly froze.
