After entering middle school, most girls started to doll themselves up, but she had never done so.
However, her bare face instantly overshadowed all other girls, making it even more cruel…
Shinomiyia subconsciously believed that she didn't need to make herself look better.
This was not arrogance, but a form of self-protection.
But when she received this 10,000 yen, Shinomiyia felt happy from the bottom of her heart.
It was just like when her mother used to get her salary from her father, she would also show a happy expression.
Shinomiyia now realized that it wasn't that her mother was happy because she received money, but because 'he was willing to give her money'.
She could actually understand her mother, whom she used to find completely incomprehensible…
"Then, Akira-kun, do you need anything? I'll buy it for you."
"Hmm…"
Cigarettes…
Unfortunately, no.
In Neon, you need to show ID to buy cigarettes.
Besides, this body hasn't developed a smoking habit yet, and Kuroha Akira doesn't really want to smoke that much; it's just a habit lingering in his soul.
Actually, Kuroha Akira didn't smoke before either; in his previous life, he started smoking to stay awake while working overtime, but later it evolved into a pack a day, and he couldn't stop.
"I don't need anything, but you should try to save money. Don't buy non-essentials. We only have ten thousand yen as our starting capital."
Because Shinomiyia is a Miss, Kuroha Akira was afraid she would be extravagant with money; ten thousand yen is truly not even enough to fill a rich girl's teeth.
"Okay."
Shinomiyia, who already treasured this money, was now even more determined to use this ten thousand yen meticulously, spending every single yen wisely!
Even if she becomes a Voice actor in the future and gets rich, this habit will never change!
"By the way, Akira-kun... aren't you going to ask about my family?"
"Do you want to talk about it?"
"…"
She wanted to tell Kuroha Akira, but she was also a little afraid that he would have a different view of her after knowing, and this conflicting feeling made her silent.
"It seems you don't really want to talk about it. Then, just tell me when you feel like it. Everyone has a past they can't easily tell others, and I'm the same."
"Mm..."
"Shion, although I don't know about your family, I want to say that you are only fifteen years old now."
"Akira-kun, aren't you also fifteen..."
I am not...
If you add up the ages from both lives, it would be forty-five, but my mental age is still thirty, for now.
"What I mean is, your life has just begun. It would be too much of a pity to give up now."
"...I know, I won't give up on myself again."
"That's good. Anyway, go to bed early. Good night."
"Mm... Good night, Akira-kun."
Today is only the first day; the future days are still long.
Perhaps one day, she will understand the meaning of the address 'Shirako' and use it to tease Akira-kun...
By then, she might have already established a deeper relationship with him...
Just a short while ago, she was in a state of mind where she didn't know how she would live on, and now she is actually starting to look forward to the future.
This is all thanks to Akira-kun...
Thinking this, the girl naturally curved her lips, smiling as she peacefully fell asleep.
Kuroha Akira also turned off his phone and saw that the time had just passed midnight before closing his eyes.
The last day of summer vacation, where he met two girls, thus came to an end.
For Kuroha Akira, a new life had just begun.
...
That night, Shionomiya Shion slept soundly but had a strange dream.
In her dream, her face was flushed, and she shamefully lifted her skirt, while Kuroha Akira was grabbing her thigh, leaning in close enough to feel his breath, staring intently.
And to make matters worse, she was wearing particularly flashy underwear... white, airspace, translucent, lace patterns...
Ugh... no... don't come any closer...
So hot...
The young girl Shion had her first wet dream in her life.
