Ekoda High School.
Koizumi Akako was absent-minded all day.
She didn't know if it was true that Lin Che was coming over to invite her to dinner today.
But she did still have a tiny bit of hope that Lin Che would actually come.
She did indeed care a little bit about Lin Che's words, "I want to see you."
"Are you encountering some difficulties in your magical research?" Kaito Kuroba suddenly popped up.
Iroko doesn't really hold grudges. Even though she was tortured by Koizumi Akako using magic before, she still treats Koizumi Akako as a friend.
He usually harasses beautiful women.
But last time, it seemed that Koizumi Akako was serious about this, so he restrained himself a lot.
He kept a close eye on Koizumi Akako not only to prevent her from "losing control" and causing harm to ordinary people, but also to see what Lin Che was doing on a regular basis.
Koizumi Akako was suddenly pulled out of her thoughts, turned her head and unleashed a burst of Conqueror's Haki, sending Kuroba Kaito flying against the wall and even overturning nearby tables.
However, this time it wasn't intentional; it was just an instinctive reaction.
Ever since returning from her last trip in search of dark magic, she has instinctively avoided any other men getting close to her.
As before, it was common for him to deliberately tease his "slaves" by bending his toes like he was playing with a dog.
Now, not only do they refuse to get close, they also don't like to hear the usual flattery anymore.
"Are you OK?"
Koizumi Akako felt somewhat guilty towards Kuroba Kaito, but her proud demeanor prevented her from doing much.
Kaito Kuroba got up from the ground and said angrily, "You woman are absolutely outrageous!"
Koizumi Akako gave him a cold glance. "Who told you to come over like that? Remember to say hello next time."
Kaito Kuroba pouted and didn't say anything more, but his curiosity remained undiminished.
Nakamori Aoko went to the restroom and didn't see the whole farce.
Time flies.
After school.
Koizumi Akako instinctively wanted to rush out of the classroom, but her inner pride slowed her down.
"I walked out slowly as usual," the witch thought to herself.
But ever since she arrived at the teaching building, her eyes have been uncontrollably glancing towards the school gate.
She did not see Lin Che.
I'm just a little disappointed.
Anyway, that's just the kind of person he is.
Koizumi Akako quickened her pace.
As soon as I stepped out of the school gate, I was immediately patted on the shoulder.
“Oi——”
Lin Che even gave Koizumi Akako a tongue flick, just like a delinquent you could see anywhere on the street.
Before Koizumi Akako could say anything...
Kaito Kuroba, who had been secretly following behind, couldn't help but jump out, "Are you sure this isn't discrimination?!"
Koizumi Akako felt a surge of inexplicable anger upon hearing this voice.
Why are you everywhere?!
call--
Forget it.
Be more ladylike in front of Mr. Lin.
Moreover, it seems that Phantom Thief Kid is Lin Che's friend.
Koizumi Akako's gaze shifted between the two, then fixed on Lin Che. "You two talk first, see you in a bit."
She didn't want anyone else to interfere, so she left after saying that.
Lin Che nodded, then pulled Kuroba Kaito aside to discuss the trade of disguise materials.
This kid also has the traits of a businessman; disguise materials can be bought directly from his shop, but the quantity is limited.
Today, there are only 4 sets of disguise materials available, each priced at 100 million yen.
This is all based on the fact that there is already a discount of 40 points of favorability.
Since he'd run into them, he'd definitely have to clear out the shop. Lin Che wasn't short of money right now; he just needed materials and his already excellent equipment.
The so-called discussion was actually an attempt to find out if there was any way to help Kaito Kuroba increase production.
"Disguise materials aren't that easy to make. Besides, if I sell them all to you, what am I supposed to use?"
Kaito Kuroba quickly changed the subject, "What are you two planning to do now? Can you take me with you?"
Lin Che gestured for her to leave quickly, saying, "It's just a dinner invitation."
Suddenly, the perverted man covered his mouth and chuckled mischievously, "You two wouldn't already be in that kind of relationship, would you?"
"Not yet, at least not for now. See you another day."
30 minute later.
On a park bench.
Lin Che and Koizumi Akako sat side by side, their gazes fixed on the artificial lake in the distance.
Japanese high schools let out early, so going out to eat now is a bit inappropriate.
Koizumi Akako suddenly suggested that we sit in the park for a while.
The witch must have spent the entire time she was away changing clothes and putting on makeup.
She wasn't wearing a youthful school uniform, but rather a burgundy long trench coat over a plain black cotton T-shirt, with a beige scarf around her neck.
Her legs were naturally bare, and the short high heels she wore made the top of her head level with Lin Che's lower lip.
Her makeup also adopted a mature style, completely covering up her youthful innocence, and her lipstick was cherry-colored.
Cherry color can indeed make you look younger, but Koizumi Akako is already young, and using it actually made her look older.
But Lin Che would definitely not say things like, "I still prefer you without makeup" or "You looked better just now."
This was prepared especially for him, and it wasn't bad-looking at all.
“Sitting here is a bit boring. Guess what I’m going to take you to eat later.” Lin Che didn’t want to put his hands on his lap properly, as that was too uncomfortable, so he put them on the back of the bench.
The curve of her arm perfectly encompassed Koizumi Akako's shoulder, yet there was still a small distance between them.
Koizumi Akako pondered for a moment, "Beijing style?"
It's a well-known old store that's been open for almost forty or fifty years, so it might be a bit pricey.
Moreover, it's very difficult to book a table; at least for now, it's absolutely impossible to get one by going on short notice.
"Guess again."
Koizumi Akako rolled her eyes at him. "If it really doesn't work out, I can treat you to something."
Lin Che smiled with relief and said, "Then I'll leave it to you. I've never actually eaten there before."
Akako Koizumi felt both helpless and inexplicably amused. She pulled out her phone from somewhere, made a call, and then said that she had already made arrangements.
“In exchange,” Koizumi Akako suddenly smiled, staring into Lin Che’s eyes, “you’ll carry me across.”
She looked down at her feet. "Look, I'm wearing high heels, and it's very uncomfortable to walk in them."
Chapter 121 The Strange Witch
Lin Che's eyebrow twitched. "Do we really have to walk there?"
Koizumi Akako adopted a haughty queen-like demeanor, saying, "I just want to get there without using any transportation and enjoy the scenery along the way, is that not allowed?"
"Then you can walk there yourself. You can enjoy the scenery along the way. I'll drive there first and wait for you."
The witch made the request again, and Lin Che once again resolutely refused.
I'll carry you over there? Are you kidding me?!
Koizumi Akako felt wronged. "You won't even grant me this small request?"
Lin Che was speechless. "This request is not easy to make."
The two reached a stalemate.
In the end, Koizumi Akako conceded, "Alright then, there are plenty of people who want to carry me, you're just one more."
She leaned close to Lin Che's ear and whispered, "I have so many people who want to ask me out to dinner, they could circle the entire Pacific Ocean."
"Sigh... I was thinking that if you could agree to my request, I would invite you to my house tonight."
Lin Che pushed Koizumi Akako's head away with his index finger. "Some lady said I was a pervert, but I think you're the real pervert."
It's okay to have little romantic gestures in everyday life.
Lin Che just needs to know his bottom line.
A queen-like personality like Koizumi Akako means you can't let her always lord it over you, otherwise things will get really difficult later on.
Besides, Koizumi Akako hasn't offered herself to him yet; they're just business partners. What's there to bow down to?
Lin Che stood up.
The comfort brought by the warm winter sun is limited.
He said, facing the sunlight, "Stop thinking about those things. I can't carry you on my back. Can't we just have a peaceful meal together?"
Koizumi Akako was getting impatient. "Is this what you mean by wanting to see me? I even treated you to dinner, and you won't even grant me this small request."
As she spoke, she also wanted to stand up and have an "equal dialogue" with Lin Che.
As a result, she, who doesn't usually wear high heels, slipped on the snow and fell straight to the ground, letting out a scream.
Two minutes later.
Lin Che said helplessly, "Do you have to go to such lengths? You even went so far as to deliberately sprain your ankle."
Koizumi Akako got her wish and lay on Lin Che's back, her arms draped lazily over his shoulders, her fingertips hooking her high heels.
She didn't even bother to argue, her face equally speechless. "This queen is too lazy to do such a thing. There's no need to take me to see a doctor. I'll get better results using the herbs I make myself at home."
Successfully getting Lin Che to carry her gave her a sense of "victory," and a smile unconsciously spread across her face.
So this is what it feels like to be carried.
Indeed, a feeling called "peace of mind" spread through my body.
Moreover, my body felt exceptionally relaxed.
Even before today, she had never felt tired or exhausted, much less heavy.
So what's the next goal?
Koizumi Akako has been secretly learning a lot about the feelings of being in love lately.
They are also secretly learning so-called dating secrets.
However, she couldn't do any of the actions in the tutorial and found them absurd.
She also had no idea what words like "gentle," "considerate," and "lively" actually meant.
As for those more refined tutorials based on their own style and target style, they were like gibberish to her, and she couldn't understand them at all.
She couldn't even accurately determine what style she and Lin Che belonged to.
In fact, Koizumi Akako's state is that she is too obsessed with "textbooks" and clings to dogmatic standards.
Sometimes I feel like I belong to this type, and sometimes I feel like I belong to that type. It feels like I can find a few things that match my personality in each type.
