Chapter 32: 032, I treated you like a sister, yet you actually want to be my sister-in-law

Lunch was at a high-end business restaurant.

They ate traditional Japanese cuisine.

"Is this the specialty restaurant of Tokyo, Ni-chan?" Nagayama Tsuruko, however, had a hint of disappointment on her face.

"What's wrong? Is it not good?"

It wasn't that it wasn't good, but the food in a business restaurant was generally very... businesslike.

And even if it was prepared well, he had been eating traditional Japanese food for over a decade after all.

"It's delicious, but I don't feel the 'Tokyo specialty' in it."

"What is a Tokyo specialty?"

"Um, as for what a specialty is... Konai-chan, you say something too~"

Tsuruko clearly couldn't organize her thoughts and could only turn to Tsubakiya Konai for help.

"The Tokyo specialty is that kind of advanced feeling, where all the world's characteristics are gathered here~"

"Ah, I see~ Next time I'll take you guys to eat Western food—French, Italian, Spanish, you name it~" Nagayama Naoki understood the two little ones' meaning instantly.

After a simple lunch, the group of three arrived at the Pedestrian Paradise in Akihabara. As expected, there was another group of the "Bamboo Clan" performing.

Various groups were competing for attention; besides singing and dancing, some were even performing acrobatics and magic...

Nagayama Naoki rented a camera and became their dedicated photographer.

Then he turned into a snack payer and a scenic commentator.

After running around all afternoon, the two girls surprisingly weren't tired at all.

After strolling until evening, Nagayama Naoki treated them to high-end Western food again, and this time they ate very happily.

At night, the two girls originally wanted to go to nightclubs, but Nagayama Naoki refused since they were both still minors and took them back to the apartment.

"Go get some good sleep! Tomorrow I'll take you to the shopping streets~"

"Ah~ Is Onii-chan going to buy me things?" Nagayama Tsuruko suddenly became super excited!

"Then I want cosmetics, new clothes, and a new radio!"

"In your dreams." Nagayama Naoki suppressed Tsuruko without hesitation with a chop to the head.

"Mother specifically instructed that I can't spend too much money on you or buy too many things. You can only get one gift at most!"

Then he said to Tsubakiya Konai, "Konai-chan can pick one too, as a souvenir of Tokyo for you!"

"Arere, I can pick one too!" Tsubakiya Konai looked pleasantly surprised. "I'm so embarrassed, thank you, Naoki-niichan!"

After all, they were neighbors who had grown up together, and their parents were good friends; giving a gift was quite normal.

When it was time for bed, Tsubakiya Konai and Nagayama Tsuruko were whispering in their blankets.

"Tsuruko-chan, Naoki-niichan is so nice~"

"How is he nice!" In Tsuruko's heart, he was being stingy by only buying her one gift.

"He's handsome, rich, young, talented, and he can buy me gifts~" Tsubakiya Konai listed Naoki's virtues one by one.

Hearing Konai list nothing but virtues, Tsuruko said crossly, "If he's so good, you might as well just marry him!"

"It's not impossible~" Tsubakiya Konai actually looked a bit longing.

Nagayama Tsuruko was incredulous: *I treat you like a sister, and you actually want to be my sister-in-law?!*

The next morning.

Nagayama Naoki was actually woken up by the two girls; as expected, people who want to go out can't sleep in.

In the morning, he fulfilled his promise and went to the shopping streets of Shibuya.

It was still a dazzling array of goods. The two girls had clearly decided to head to the clothing section.

As expected, trendy and beautiful clothes were what girls of this age liked most.

Watching the two of them tirelessly try on clothes, change, and coordinate outfits, Nagayama Naoki felt the pain of men in the future accompanying their girlfriends shopping...

And since there were no mobile phones yet, he couldn't even play a round of Honor of Kings to escape.

Why did Nagayama Naoki adopt a minimalist style?

On one hand, it was comfortable to wear, and on the other, it made buying clothes easy—no need to spend effort on coordination.

After finally waiting for them to pick their clothes, Nagayama Naoki immediately went to pay, hoping to end this session as soon as possible.

Next, they continued strolling, but this time they weren't buying anything~

In the Shibuya commercial district, besides department stores and fashion, there were also various snack shops, cafes, game facilities, and so on. As they wandered, unexpectedly, both of them wanted to go to a Pachinko parlor?

"As for Pachinko, doesn't Shizuoka have it too?"

"How can they be the same? This is Tokyo Pachinko!"

Nagayama Naoki didn't feel much of a difference, but seeing their determined expressions, there seemed to be a huge distinction.

He could only spend 3,000 yen to buy Pachinko balls.

Nagayama Naoki knew nothing about Pachinko, but the two girls had a great time. They won a large amount of steel balls and then exchanged them for two bear plushie pendants.

He truly couldn't understand; 3,000 yen was enough to buy ten of those pendants.

The bustling commercial street was filled with flowing crowds. The legendary Shibuya Crossing, where 3,000 people pass through per minute, was already beginning to show its future appearance.

In the future, Shibuya would be called the birthplace of youth, fashion, and trend culture; indeed, one could occasionally see street performers singing and trendy performance art...

The groups in eccentric clothing weren't as numerous as in the Pedestrian Paradise, but they seemed more internationally connected.

Nagayama Naoki didn't like shopping, so Nagayama Tsuruko and Tsubakiya Konai walked ahead hand-in-hand, while he walked behind with his bag.

To an outsider, it would look like the "authentic Tokyoites" were leading the way.

Lunch was settled at the food street. Takoyaki, yakitori, wagyu skewers, okonomiyaki, taiyaki, various sweets, and all sorts of sushi snacks—these delicious treats were enough to fill the stomachs of any tourist.

Besides the commercial district, Shibuya is also famous for Meiji Jingu. As a massive green space in the city center, it occupies the entire area between Yoyogi and Harajuku.

Moving from the bustling commercial streets into the quiet and solemn Meiji Jingu, the two girls suddenly became much more well-behaved. Besides sightseeing and praying, they also obtained the specialty divine fortune slip, "Oomikuji," at Meiji Jingu.

Nagayama Naoki had basically never heard of the text on the slip, but it seemed to be advising people to be kind.

Meiji Jingu is vast. From the entrance, they went through the approach, to the Great Torii, and then visited the Couple's Trees, the Shrine Gardens...

There were a few cherry blossom trees in the Shrine Gardens, but they were scattered and lacked any particular specialty.

By the time they came out, two hours had passed.

After a whole morning, they had likely walked over 10 kilometers. The two girls were finally unable to walk any further, so Nagayama Naoki finally called a taxi to go home.

Upon returning home, Nagayama Naoki told the two to go take a shower first.

"Since we've been walking for so long, rest at home for a bit. This afternoon, we'll go to Meguro River to see the cherry blossoms!"

"You can wear your new clothes~ I can take beautiful photos!"

The two girls finally felt a bit of fatigue and obediently went to wash up.

Nagayama Naoki brewed a pot of tea so they could drink it directly once they finished.

It was currently early spring. Around 2-3 PM, the lighting conditions were excellent, making it suitable for strolling along the banks of the Meguro River to enjoy the cherry blossoms. It was a pity that the night illuminations of the future didn't exist yet; otherwise, the cherry blossoms at night would also be a very beautiful sight.

After enjoying the cherry blossoms, they could continue to have fun in the nearby commercial streets, cafes, or bars.

In the evening, there seemed to be a carnival event at Meguro River; he heard it was very lively.

Nagayama Naoki had never seen it before and was quite interested~
