Chapter 149 (2/2)

Alas, even when Mikoto had done all these things to avoid detection, one girl in Tokiwadai still saw them. She’s quite surprised to see the two holding hands. When she recovered, she immediately ran off.

Too invested in their world with the population of 2, they aren’t aware just how big a trouble this girl who ran off is going to cause for them….

Relying on the memory given to him by System, he walked on the familiar streets of Academy City. He then realized in hindsight the extra benefit of Character insertion card, that is the benefit of quickly being able to familiarize oneself with the surrounding.

But, it’s a buzzkill to think about work matters during a time like this, what he should be focusing on is continuing their date…

And so, holding hands with Mikoto, they walked on a rather big street. As they walked, people would turn to look at them. In their eyes, a lot of emotions could be observed, there’s admiration, disdain and jealousy. Those burning hot eyes all made Mikoto lower her head subconsciously, so low in fact that she could almost touch her breast if she had any.

Her bashful appearance opened Wu Yan’s eyes. He’s really seeing just how innocent she is, contrasted with his world, screw holding hands, some would even make out in public, and they wouldn’t feel bashful over it.

Some of the pedestrians already identified Mikoto. As Railgun, there’s few in Academy City that doesn’t know her. He doesn’t know how they will react but he does know one thing, her wish to stay anonymous is probably going to be impossible now.

Judging by her personality, the best place to raise her affection points would be to bring her to an arcade, a manga store or a dealers.h.i.+p that specializes in gekota goods. It doesn’t matter that his affection point with Mikoto is already almost at maximum…

This time, Wu Yan decided not to bring her to one of those places. Instead, he wishes to try and bring her somewhere girls would normally go to like a clothing store.

“Welcome!”

Being welcomed by the attendants, the two walked into a large scale clothing store, maybe because there’s less traffic here than on the main street, Mikoto finally lifted her head.

“And here I thought you would keep your head lowered for the entire journey.”

Wu Yan teased her. It’s a date alright but Wu Yan is still cheeky as always when it comes to hanging out with her.

“You’re being obnoxious…”

She hmph-ed and then scanned the store.

He pulled her over to the ladies’ area and begun picking out clothes for her. She would always wear Tokiwadai uniform on screen, very rarely would he see her in anything resembling casual wear.

But, during their time at Silvaria, Mikoto always wore casual. However, for some odd reason, Wu Yan has this ma.s.sive urge to pick out clothes for her. Probably because it feels different to see someone he loves wearing the clothes he picked out.

Mikoto likes beautiful clothes since she’s a girl but her taste tends to lean more towards the childish kind of attire. It feels moe for Wu Yan but cute clothing is more pleasing for the eyes.

Soon, the two immersed themselves in the joy of picking out clothes. Most of the time, Wu Yan would do the picking and Mikoto would go into the fitting room and come out to present herself while blus.h.i.+ng bright red. Getting to enjoy the fas.h.i.+on show featuring Mikoto as the model, Wu Yan is without a doubt very, very happy. This is a fas.h.i.+on by Mikoto, man.

He’s starting to think about taking Hinagiku out on a date as well, and then there’s Ikaros and Astrea….

Wu Yan’s taste for clothes suit Mikoto’s taste as well. The two managed to pick out one or two articles that they could agree on, at this point in time, they finally resembled a dating couple.

When he’s at the counter about to pay for the clothes, one particular item piqued him and made him waver deep inside….

Maid uniform!

His eyes s.h.i.+ned brightly and the moment he looked down his heart wavered again.

Ap.r.o.n!

And at that point, something deep inside him was unleashed…

He mustered up his courage and ignored Mikoto’s who is blus.h.i.+ng so hard, steam started wafting off the top of her head and said to the very surprised attendant.

“Attendant, give me those two items and wrap it up!”
