Eating the cheeseburger, Mikotos mood improved.

She gradually got along with Shirota and was already calling her Yotsuba.

Of course, Shirota was intimately calling her Mikoto-chan.

Taking along the three different type of beauties, we went shopping into the afternoon.

Hey, Can you buy this?

Mia stops in front of an accessory store.

It was an accessory shop tailored towards youngsters with little money.

The thing Mia was pointing at was a silver ring.

Mikoto was standing next to Mia, glancing over at the ring.

A ring?

Yeah, I want a matching ring with Shirota and Mikoto-chan

Why?

Why, you say, you get it, right?

WellI get it but

What about you, Shirota-san?

Turning around, Mia looks at Shirota.

Shirota nodded with a slightly red face.

Its fine butI dont think those kinds of things would fit me

That isnt true

Mia and Mikoto agree with my words.

I think it fits you well, Shirota-san!

Yeah, I think so too

I-I wonder

Smiling seeming embarrassed, she started looking at the ring with the two.

I look at it from a little ways away from them.

Seemingly decided on something, they check the sizes of their own fingers.

After that was done, Mikoto ran over towards me.

What?

The latest_epi_sodes are on_the . website.

Take out your money

Is this extortion?

Youre wrong. Arent you our boyfriend? Youll be buying a ring for your girlfriends so take out your money1

Ah, yeahI got it

Taking out my wallet, I hand it over to Mikoto.

When Mikoto takes it, she heads back to those twos side.

Shirota looks at me seeming a bit surprised.

Dont worry, I wave my hand and nod to her as if to convey that meaning.

Paying the bill, the three of them return to me.

Mikoto hands back my wallet and I end up putting it in my pocket.

Is it fine?

Shirota asks me.

Eh? What?

The ringspaying for them for us

You also paid for the cheeseburgers

No, I also ate that as well

I said towards the smiling Shirota.

It suits you

Thanks, Okutani

The three of them put on the ring without getting it wrapped up.

When we head out, Shirota and Mikoto walked ahead.

Naturally, Mia and I were together.

Mia muttered in a low voice.

Arent you cool

Ive received plenty of training from you

What did I do?

Mia smiles impishly.

After letting out a sigh, I said.

Visit . for a better_user experience

You made Mikoto come get my wallet, right?

Ah, was I found out? Even if I didnt do that, would you have paid?

I wont say for my own sake

So lame

The fluctuation of how she evaluates me is amazing.

However, Mia smiles and took something out of her pocket.

Here, this is from us

What is it?

There was a small package wrapped in paper.

When I try opening it, there was a ring inside.

The size was small and probably wouldnt fit on my finger.

It matches

Mia showed her right hand.

Of course the ring they bought was put on her middle finger.

When I look at the two walking ahead, Shirota and Mikoto had the same ring on.

For me too, you say? But, the size

You cant put it on your finger. If you were to wear the same ring as me, it would make a commotion at school, you know? Plus, if you include Shirota-san as well

It should be fine if I dont wear it at school

Since the school rules are lax, there shouldnt be a problem with wearing a ring.

It should be fine as long as you dont forget to take it off during gym.

The problem is that its the same ring for all three of us.

If its just school, I dont think there should be a problem

Well if its me no one should pay attention even if I were to make a commotion

I will though

So?2

Thats why, Shirota-san and I will wear them like normal. And you will put a chain through it and wear it around your neck. Thats why its a small size

I see.

If I put it on as a necklace, I can hide it.

This is from Shirota-san

Saying that, Mia took a chain out from her pocket.

It was a cute silver chain with a heart charm on it.

The chain was plenty long that it wouldnt be weird for a guy like me.

All the more, since Ill end up hiding it under my clothes anyways.

Is it fine? Isnt it an important item?

Its important. Its a necklace she bought for herself when she entered middle school

I cant receive such a thing

Thats why she wants to give it to you

Mia lightly hits her shoulder against mine.

She was always wearing it but she said as she thought it doesnt fit here

Im the one who it doesnt fit

Its fine, Its fine already. Shes telling you to use itshe was too embarrassed to hand it over herself so she asked me to hand it over for her. This is also for my sake as well

If she says that much to me, I cant refuse.

When Shirota sends over a fleeting glance, our eyes met.

Her face was already bright red so she ends up looking away.

Shes cute, huh. Shirota-san

After smiling at that, Mia hands over the chain.

And then she runs ahead and meets up with the two.

I can hear laughter coming from Shirota and Mikoto.

With a bright red face, Shirota turns towards Mia and says something.

Somehow it seems she was being teased by Mia about the chain.

The three beauties walk together seeming like they get along.

Everyone that passed by looked at them without exception.

Gazing at that scene, I stick Shirotas chain through my ring.

The heart charm also hits my neck like that.

And then putting it inside my clothes, I hide the ring and heart charm.

The three looked over their shoulders at me and smiled.

The latest_epi_sodes are on_the . website.

This time they were teasing me about the necklace.

Thinking it was a bit embarrassing, I said in a voice loud enough for the three to hear.

Thanks
