The girl sitting next to Lin Yi was Kasaka Kana.
Faced with her appearance, Lin Yi was very surprised. Then he understood: "You followed me here?"
She hugged her backpack, nodded, dared not speak, just looked at Lin Yi expectantly, waiting for his reprimand.
"When did you start following me?"
Lin Yi was quite curious about this question.
"When I woke up this morning, I found you had packed your clothes… I knew you were leaving today."
Kasaka Kana said, "But seeing you take that backpack to school, I knew you would come back. So I skipped class at noon and went home, and then I waited nearby all the time."
"I see…"
Lin Yi realized that he hadn't noticed Kasaka Kana following him all along.
In that case… if there was a perverted woman stalking me during this time, wouldn't I be done for?
Alas, I need to draw a counter-tracking skill, otherwise, if this face is targeted by perverted women, they might directly tie me back to be a stud to improve their family's genes, that would be troublesome.
Kasaka Kana waited for Lin Yi's reprimand, but she waited for a long time and didn't receive it. She asked, "Aren't you angry with me?"
"Huh?" Lin Yi's thoughts had gone astray. He came back to his senses and said, "Of course not, you followed me here because you couldn't bear to part with me. I'm happy, how could I be angry with you?"
Since things had come to this, Lin Yi couldn't possibly kick her off the train and have her take the JR train back in the opposite direction, right?
It was late at night, and if he let her go back alone, she would definitely cry, and there were so many Japanese perverts, what if she was tricked away by bad guys halfway?
As for scolding her, didn't you see that she was already prepared to be scolded? Scolding would only have the opposite effect.
"Really… really?" Kasaka Kana blinked her eyes and asked with a pout, "Then… why didn't you tell me before?"
"Because I'm going there to learn how to use firearms, I might not have time to accompany you, it would be boring for you to follow me…" Lin Yi quickly found an excuse: "It's better to leave you at home to study hard and catch up on the missed lessons."
"I'm happy just being by your side," Kasaka Kana said, and also took out her physics textbook from her backpack: "Also, I brought it here! I won't miss any lessons!"
"Really? I'm so happy."
Lin Yi was "deeply moved", then put Kasaka Kana in his arms, thinking to himself:
Looks like… the plan has to be changed.
The reason Lin Yi wanted to keep his trip to Fukui Prefecture a secret from Kasaka Kano was to see if he could raise Akemi's favorability and then…consume her.
If he could successfully consume her and then use Memory Bread to boost her favorability, things would be much simpler afterward.
However, Kasaka Kano's appearance forced him to change his plans.
After all, bringing his girlfriend along while trying to pick up another girl was exceptionally difficult.
And that system was also a useless system; after opening so many boxes, he hadn't seen anything like a Slave Pill.
The only thing that could directly increase favorability was that favorability boost card from last time, but he had already used it on his wife.
Since he couldn't directly capture her, he would max out her favorability in advance, and then desperately shower her with affection in front of her, constantly disrupting her state of mind, preparing for the capture later!
Seven o'clock.
Lin Yi arrived in Fukui Prefecture and called Akemi to tell her that he had arrived.
Akemi said that there was a slight problem with the shipment of goods on her side and that she had to handle it personally, so she would be there in two days, asking him to try the local delicacies and admire the local scenery on his own.
"Oh, right. Your big friend arrived very early… Go pick him up, he doesn't have much money on him."
"Okay."
— — — — — — — —
After contacting Wakamatsu Toshihide, he agreed to meet him at the entrance of a local hot spring hotel.
As soon as he got out of the car, Lin Yi saw Wakamatsu Toshihide walking towards him.
He complained, "She told us to come so early, and then she makes us wait for her… Really…"
Before he could finish complaining, Wakamatsu Toshihide saw Kasaka Kano getting out of the car as well.
He was stunned on the spot, and said sourly, as if he had just sucked on a lemon, "Are you here to study, or are you here for tourism?"
When Wakamatsu Toshihide found out that the other companion was Lin Yi, he was overjoyed, thinking that he had company, but then he found out that the guy had also brought his girlfriend.
How could this single dog bear it?
On the contrary, Lin Yi was very happy: "If you're so capable, go find one yourself…"
"If I could find one, would I still be asking you?" Wakamatsu Toshihide complained.
Lin Yi ignored him, put his arm around Kasaka Kano, and went into the hotel, asking for a room with a private hot spring and a room without one.
Wakamatsu Toshihide's eyes widened: "I want a room with a private hot spring too…"
"You don't have a girlfriend, what do you need a private hot spring for? Go to the mixed bath."
"I'll go to the mixed bath, but I also want a private hot spring… I'll just pay you back later."
After teasing this big guy for a while, Lin Yi then opened two rooms with private hot springs.
Watching Lin Yi put his arm around Kasaka Kano and open the room door, Wakamatsu Toshihide's eyes turned red, and he reminded him: "I'm telling you, hot springs are sacred and can only be used for bathing, not for doing other things!"
"I know, I know…" Lin Yi waved his hand casually, and then slammed the door shut.
"He definitely didn't listen… No manners."
Wakamatsu Toshihide sourly went into his room, put down his backpack, went to the backyard, looked at the private hot spring, immediately washed himself clean, and then went down to soak.
The room also came with some snacks. Wakamatsu Toshihide grabbed them to fill his stomach. While eating, he looked at the night sky, feeling very comfortable, as if his whole person, from body to mind, had been purified.
"Ah… This is so comfortable, this is enjoyment." Wakamatsu Toshihide let out a sigh.
Then, this sigh was interrupted by the laughter of the rude guests next door.
"Hahaha… Don't touch there, it tickles."
"Then… touch here?"
"This won't do either, it's also very ticklish."
"That won't do… I'm not that honest…"
"… … … …"
"Hey, can you guys be quieter? You're seriously affecting other people's hot spring experience! Do you have any manners?"
Wakamatsu Toshihide shouted at the top of his lungs.
Then the laughter disappeared.
However, Wakamatsu Toshihide couldn't be happy at all. He was even more disappointed. Looking at the moon in the sky, he couldn't help but mutter, "Ah… I really want to find a girlfriend."
