Chapter 46 – Local Idol Wants to Hang Out with a Free Person (part 3)
Inside the train, after passing through two stations and walking a bit further, Yokohama Chinatown came into view.
"Wow, is this Yokohama Chinatown?"
Yokohama Chinatown, one of the three largest Chinatowns in Japan, brimming with Chinese restaurants and souvenir shops.
"Himahara-san, please take a photo for me."
In front of the glittering entrance gate, Renkawa handed me her smartphone and asked me to take a picture. With no choice, I finally took the photo.
"Humahara-san, you're really lucky to take my private photo."
"... Well, I don't care."
"Ah, it's always like that. Actually, I don't like keeping date photos, so I usually don't like being photographed, you know?"
"Heh, is that so? ... I still don't care."
I returned the smartphone to Renkawa. Suddenly, she grabbed my arm and pulled me closer to her, then she took a selfie with the front camera of her phone.
Then, deliberately leaning my arm against her ample chest, Renkawa took another selfie.
"There, done. If you don't want Nako-chan to see these selfies of us, could you be a little more affectionate with me?"
"You really have no mercy."
"It's part of my technique, too."
Absolutely annoying and bothersome. But, I didn't want those selfies of us to be sent to Sakurazaki.
"... So, what should I do to be more affectionate?"
Finally, I gave in to her request.
"First of all, tell me that I'm beautiful."
"... You are. Hey, even though you're an idol, why do you want to be called 'beautiful' like that? You always have plenty of fans praising you, right?"
"O-of course... It's different, being praised by fans and being praised by someone you want, isn't it?"
"Heh, is that so?"
"Come on, quickly praise me!"
Renkawa shook and nudged my body.
Ah, I just want to go and eat already.
It's fine, let's just get it over with quickly.
"Your breasts are big and sexy."
"Yuck, you really have no tact."
I gave her the best praise.
"Enough already! Himahara-san, you're such a boring person."
"You already are beautiful. I think you look better when you're calm and with your hair down rather than in twin tails."
"... Is that so."
Renkawa showed an expression like a pigeon getting a pea.
"What did you say?"
"............"
"Oh, I see. Himahara-san, are you starting to... hmm?"
"Are you satisfied?"
"... Ah. In that case, please untie my hair."
"Huh?"
"Come on, quickly untie it!"
Renkawa ordered me to untie the two braids that held her hair.
As I untied them, her long hair became one.
Renkawa's appearance with her hair down made her look more mature and exuded a charming aura.
"What do you think? When my hair is down, I look calmer. That's why I always tie it into twin tails."
"... Well, I guess it looks pretty good."
"Hmm."
Renkawa smiled ambiguously.
I was really annoyed with her always teasing me like this.
"Enough, that's it. Let's go."
"Yes."
After that, I continued to be teased by Renkawa until we arrived at the store.
