Chapter 406 A Bit Too Fast?
"Taiga~~~"
Eriri's voice startled Aisaka Taiga, who was chatting with Takasu Ryuji ahead. She turned around and saw Kaede and Eriri approaching, and then she let out a sigh of relief.
"It's you guys."
"Hehehe, who else?" Eriri said with a smile as she approached Aisaka Taiga, "We're probably the only ones who go home this way. You and Takasu are a bit slow today. Our club activities are already over, and we still ran into you. What were you doing just now?"
"We went to look at clothes."
Aisaka Taiga said directly, "I realized these past two days that many of the clothes in my closet were bought two years ago, so I wanted to buy some new ones. Since Minori had to go to work, I dragged Ryuji along."
And when she said this, Aisaka Taiga nudged Takasu Ryuji in annoyance, "But this guy really has no taste at all! I picked out several outfits, and he insisted they weren't good-looking!"
"Uh..."
Takasu Ryuji felt a bit wronged and said with a wry smile, "I didn't say they weren't good-looking, I just said some of them weren't suitable for you!"
"Then tell me which styles suit me? I tried on so many clothes just now!"
Scratching his cheek, Takasu Ryuji hesitated for a moment and said, "...Girls' clothes, I don't really understand them, but at least they shouldn't be children's clothes."
"Urusai!"
Watching their interaction, Kaede laughed, "Taiga, you didn't really buy children's clothes, did you?"
"I just didn't see it! Didn't see it!" Aisaka Taiga said, her face flushed, "I just saw that the clothes in the store were very pretty, so I went in, and I didn't realize it was a children's clothing store!"
Emmm~~~ Most people would notice, right?
But combined with Aisaka Taiga's figure, it wasn't too surprising. After all, she had no problem wearing children's clothes, and she didn't realize it herself... It's understandable.
Yes, yes, it's understandable.
Kaede looked at Takasu Ryuji with emotion and said, "You're quite hardworking too."
"Uh... Ahaha~~~ It's alright."
He had originally wanted to nod, but after meeting Aisaka Taiga's gaze, Takasu Ryuji could only laugh it off.
Needless to say, these two will likely end up together in the future. And then, Takasu Ryuji will definitely be a henpecked husband.
Coupled with his fierce eyes, it really creates a huge contrast.
Kaede and Eriri didn't continue to gossip about their progress. Looking at them, it was almost certain, and it just depended on who confessed first.
After returning to the apartment, Eriri put down her school bag and sat on the sofa, saying, "Kaede-kun, I want to buy clothes too!"
"Go ahead, how about going when we have a day off on the weekend?"
Kaede poured two glasses of water and sat down next to Eriri: "The weather is getting warmer, and it seems like there are a lot of new clothes this year. Haven't you been hearing Kawashima talk about it these past few days? We can go check them out then."
"Mhm, we'll go this weekend!"
A girl's wardrobe is never full; there's always one piece of clothing missing. Even for an otaku like Eriri, it's no exception. When she sees pretty clothes, she wants to buy them.
Taking a sip of water, Eriri held Camearra, who had jumped onto her lap, and leaned against Kaede, asking, "Kaede-kun, what do you think about Imari-san? Can Mizuki handle it?"
"She should be able to."
Kaede nodded and said, "It's not that big of a deal, and Uchimaki Subaru also directly stated that he's dating Usami. Imari doesn't seem like the type of Chuunibyou who doesn't understand anything; she should be the type who can distinguish between Chuunibyou and reality. Besides, this crush probably just had a little spark, and then it was directly extinguished, so there's no need to worry."
"Mhm, that's good."
Eriri felt a little relieved and said, "Anyway, Imari-san just transferred to our class. I don't want everyone's relationship to become awkward, seeing each other every day in the same class."
"Don't worry, they're not children anymore, they can all handle it."
"That's right, Mizuki is also very capable."
Nodding, a smile appeared on Eriri's face. She turned to Kaede and said, "Kaede-kun, let's go cook. I want to eat chicken wings tonight!"
"You're still thinking about those few chicken wings left in the fridge, huh?"
Kaede smiled and poked Eriri's cheek, saying, "Alright, I'll go change my clothes. Eriri, you go take out the chicken wings to thaw, and also grab a piece of beef and the leftover vegetables from yesterday."
"OK~~~"
With their cooking skills constantly improving, Kaede and Eriri's frequency of ordering takeout gradually decreased. Unless they were really too lazy on the weekend and didn't want to get out of bed, they would order takeout. But most of the time, they would choose to cook, cooking and eating together, which felt better.
Chopping vegetables, Eriri pondered, "Kaede-kun, do you think our current situation is a bit like we've entered a rhythm that should only happen a few years from now?"
"That's indeed true."
Kaede didn't deny it, and while chopping beef, he said, "Look, if we followed the normal process, we would probably date until college, then consider moving in together. During that time, we might register for marriage, or we might wait until after college graduation, but it definitely wouldn't be at this time. So, yes, it's about four or five years ahead of schedule. What, do you think you'll get tired of this kind of life later?"
"Of course not!"
Eriri quickly denied it: "No way, I feel very happy with our current life, but it just feels like things are moving a bit fast. Like Shirogane-senpai and Kaguya-senpai, they just started dating, and Uchimaki and Mizuki are also new. But in contrast, we're already living together. Hmm... Even though we're about the same age, it feels like we've experienced more?"
"Everyone's situation is different, it's normal."
Kaede said with a smile, "
Eriri flashed Kaede a brilliant smile before lowering her head and continuing her busy work.
