Eating the cheeseburger, Mikotoâs mood improved.
She gradually got along with Shirota and was already calling her Yotsuba.
Of course, Shirota was intimately calling her Mikoto-chan.
Taking along the three different type of beauties, we went shopping into the afternoon.
ãHey, Can you buy this?ã
Mia stops in front of an accessory store.
It was an accessory shop tailored towards youngsters with little money.
The thing Mia was pointing at was a silver ring.
Mikoto was standing next to Mia, glancing over at the ring.
ãA ring?ã
ãYeah, I want a matching ring with Shirota and Mikoto-chanã
ãWhy?ã
ãWhy, you say, you get it, right?ã
ãWellâ¦I get it butã
ãWhat about you, Shirota-san?ã
Turning around, Mia looks at Shirota.
Shirota nodded with a slightly red face.
ãItâs fine butâ¦I donât think those kinds of things would fit meã
ãThat isnât trueã
Mia and Mikoto agree with my words.
ãI think it fits you well, Shirota-san!ã
ãYeah, I think so tooã
ãI-I wonderâ¦ã
Smiling seeming embarrassed, she started looking at the ring with the two.
I look at it from a little ways away from them.
Seemingly decided on something, they check the sizes of their own fingers.
After that was done, Mikoto ran over towards me.
ãWhat?ã
ãTake out your moneyã
ãIs this extortion?ã
ãYouâre wrong. Arenât you our boyfriend? Youâll be buying a ring for your girlfriends so take out your moneyã1
ãAh, yeahâ¦I got itã
Taking out my wallet, I hand it over to Mikoto.
When Mikoto takes it, she heads back to those twoâs side.
Shirota looks at me seeming a bit surprised.
âDonât worryâ, I wave my hand and nod to her as if to convey that meaning.
Paying the bill, the three of them return to me.
Mikoto hands back my wallet and I end up putting it in my pocket.
ãIs it fine?ã
Shirota asks me.
ãEh? What?ã
ãThe ringsâ¦paying for them for usã
ãYou also paid for the cheeseburgersã
ãNo, I also ate that as wellã
I said towards the smiling Shirota.
ãIt suits youã
ãThanks, Okutaniã
The three of them put on the ring without getting it wrapped up.
When we head out, Shirota and Mikoto walked ahead.
Naturally, Mia and I were together.
Mia muttered in a low voice.
ãArenât you coolã
ãIâve received plenty of training from youã
ãWhat did I do?ã
Mia smiles impishly.
After letting out a sigh, I said.
ãYou made Mikoto come get my wallet, right?ã
ãAh, was I found out? Even if I didnât do that, would you have paid?ã
ãI wonât say for my own sakeã
ãSo lameã
The fluctuation of how she evaluates me is amazing.
However, Mia smiles and took something out of her pocket.
ãHere, this is from usã
ãWhat is it?ã
There was a small package wrapped in paper.
When I try opening it, there was a ring inside.
The size was small and probably wouldnât fit on my finger.
ãIt matchesã
Mia showed her right hand.
Of course the ring they bought was put on her middle finger.
When I look at the two walking ahead, Shirota and Mikoto had the same ring on.
ãFor me too, you say? But, the sizeâ¦ã
ãYou canât put it on your finger. If you were to wear the same ring as me, it would make a commotion at school, you know? Plus, if you include Shirota-san as wellâ¦ã
ãIt should be fine if I donât wear it at schoolã
Since the school rules are lax, there shouldnât be a problem with wearing a ring.
It should be fine as long as you donât forget to take it off during gym.
The problem is that itâs the same ring for all three of us.
ãIf itâs just school, I donât think there should be a problemã
ãWell if itâs me no one should pay attention even if I were to make a commotionã
ãI will thoughâ¦ã
ãSo?ã2
ãThatâs why, Shirota-san and I will wear them like normal. And you will put a chain through it and wear it around your neck. Thatâs why itâs a small sizeã
I see.
If I put it on as a necklace, I can hide it.
ãThis is from Shirota-sanã
Saying that, Mia took a chain out from her pocket.
It was a cute silver chain with a heart charm on it.
The chain was plenty long that it wouldnât be weird for a guy like me.
All the more, since Iâll end up hiding it under my clothes anyways.
ãIs it fine? Isnât it an important item?ã
ãItâs important. Itâs a necklace she bought for herself when she entered middle schoolã
ãI canât receive such a thingã
ãThatâs why she wants to give it to youâ¦ã
Mia lightly hits her shoulder against mine.
ãShe was always wearing it but she said as she thought it doesnât fit hereã
ãIâm the one who it doesnât fitã
ãItâs fine, Itâs fine already. Sheâs telling you to use itâ¦she was too embarrassed to hand it over herself so she asked me to hand it over for her. This is also for my sake as wellã
If she says that much to me, I canât refuse.
When Shirota sends over a fleeting glance, our eyes met.
Her face was already bright red so she ends up looking away.
ãSheâs cute, huh. Shirota-sanã
After smiling at that, Mia hands over the chain.
And then she runs ahead and meets up with the two.
I can hear laughter coming from Shirota and Mikoto.
With a bright red face, Shirota turns towards Mia and says something.
Somehow it seems she was being teased by Mia about the chain.
The three beauties walk together seeming like they get along.
Everyone that passed by looked at them without exception.
Gazing at that scene, I stick Shirotaâs chain through my ring.
The heart charm also hits my neck like that.
And then putting it inside my clothes, I hide the ring and heart charm.
The three looked over their shoulders at me and smiled.
This time they were teasing me about the necklace.
Thinking it was a bit embarrassing, I said in a voice loud enough for the three to hear.
ãThanksã
