Since becoming a national-level idol songstress, she had rarely been out on the streets.
After all, once recognized, it could cause quite a commotion. At that point, not to mention shopping, even just leaving the street would be difficult.
Although Miku had an ability that could be used to control people's minds... and she could use it for convenience...
Kind-hearted Miku didn't want to use this ability casually on ordinary people. After all, such a mind-controlling, bewitching ability... if misused, her conscience wouldn't allow it.
Of course, if it were bad people or enemies, that was a different matter.
"Hmm... how about this? I'll give you that thing now. You'll get it eventually anyway, so it's fine. That way, you can decide to use it or not at any time."
After thinking for a moment, Yuki decided it would be best to give it to her now. After all, Miku being his woman was a done deal.
This way, Miku could freely choose to use it or not.
"Mhm mhm mhm!"
Miku nodded vigorously, her face full of anticipation as she looked at Yuki.
Yuki smiled, then gently raised his index finger. A speck of light, like a grain of sand, slowly rose from his fingertip.
Yuki held that speck of light, concentrated for a moment, and then opened his palm.
Miku looked down at his palm and found a silver necklace lying there.
The necklace was set with six gems of different colors.
"Huh? These six gems look quite exquisite!"
Miku focused intently on the six delicate gems before her. She could faintly sense a unique power within each one.
"These gems are called Infinity Gems. Their functions... let me explain them one by one..."
Yuki then proceeded to explain the abilities of the Infinity Gems and their terrifying potential.
By the time he finished, Miku was staring at the six tiny gems with her mouth agape.
"To think these six tiny gems possess such fearsome power?!"
"It's truly unbelievable!"
Shock filled Miku's pupils. Her gaze darted back and forth between the six delicate gems, trying to discern something special from their appearance.
Unfortunately, no matter how closely Miku looked, the gems' exteriors seemed no different from ordinary gems on the market.
In the end, Miku gave up. Her power wasn't strong enough to perceive the mysteries of the Infinity Gems.
"Try putting it on first. Then you'll understand how to use it."
Yuki smiled and said softly to Miku.
"Alright, then Darling, put it on for me!"
"Sure!"
Yuki nodded, picked up the necklace, and fastened it around Miku's snow-white neck.
The moment the Infinity Gems touched her skin, a flood of knowledge entered Miku's mind.
The methods of using the Infinity Gems and their various abilities instantly surged into her brain.
At this moment, Miku finally gained a direct sense of the Infinity Gems' power.
Simultaneously, she understood how to use them, how to harness their power to conceal her identity, allowing her to walk the streets freely.
"So, do you like it?"
Yuki asked softly with a smile.
"Mhm mhm mhm! I love it!"
"Anything Darling gives Miku, Miku loves it~~~"
Mwah~~~
Miku nodded, then gently planted a kiss on Yuki's cheek.
She then eagerly tried out the power of the Infinity Gems.
With a thought, the Mind Gem among the six gems flickered with a faint light for a few seconds before subsiding.
Miku then pressed the window button and stuck her head outside. She wanted to test if the ability had taken effect on the passersby outside.
On the street, many pedestrians' gazes naturally fell on Yuki's car.
When they saw Miku, they merely thought the girl in the passenger seat was very pretty and bore a resemblance to the national idol songstress. After a moment of surprise, they showed no further reaction.
Their subconscious mind wouldn't associate her with the songstress Miku Izayoi.
Seeing the effect was so immediate, Miku excitedly wrapped her arms around Yuki's head and pulled him in, burying his face deep into her chest.
"Fantastic! Finally, I can go out freely without restrictions!"
Miku was thrilled, but Yuki, caught off guard by the 'attack,' was suffocating.
Whoa, this girl...
After struggling in the 'sea of softness' for a bit, Yuki finally managed to escape Miku's 'service.'
Noticing the slight, irrepressible smile at the corner of Miku's lips, Yuki immediately understood—this girl had done it on purpose.
"Miku, aren't you afraid I might do something to you?"
Yuki shot her a look, muttering with some exasperation.
"Nope!"
"Because if it's Darling, Miku is ready anytime~~~"
Miku's eyes were seductive, practically sending out tendrils as she blinked at Yuki.
She wasn't worried at all about Yuki doing anything; instead, she was expectant, even hopeful.
Seeing this, Yuki really had no way to deal with her.
He just wanted to get through this traffic jam quickly, find a place for lunch, and then teach this girl a lesson.
The traffic jam lasted twenty minutes before Yuki's car finally escaped the area.
Following Miku's request, Yuki took her to a standard fast-food restaurant of the burger-and-fries variety.
Once inside, Miku acted like a child in a candy store, filled with curiosity about everything.
When they reached the counter to order, the girl was fascinated by everything on the menu.
"Darling, what if I want to try everything?"
Miku pointed at all the items on the menu.
Hearing this, the corner of Yuki's mouth twitched slightly.
"If you order everything, can you even finish it?"
Under the astonished gazes of the other customers and staff around them, Yuki asked somewhat awkwardly.
"Of course!"
Miku nodded, giving Yuki a reassuring look.
Hearing this, Yuki's eyelids twitched involuntarily. Then, under the stunned eyes of everyone else, he ordered one of everything on the menu.
The cashier was clearly thrown off by this couple, but after seeing Yuki actually pay, she nervously printed out a long receipt and urged the kitchen to hurry up with the order.
After a wait of just over ten minutes, all the food Yuki and Miku had ordered was served.
"So fast!"
"So this is what 'fast food' really means?!"
Miku was amazed by the speed of fast food service, examining the hamburgers and fries with curiosity.
"Mmm! This hamburger is pretty tasty! The flavor is quite unique."
"Here, Darling, you try it too!"
After taking a bite, Miku, experiencing the taste of fast food for the first time, found it very novel. She then offered the hamburger, with a small bite taken out, to Yuki.
Yuki also took a bite before letting Miku continue eating it herself.
"Mhm, not bad."
"It's fine to eat this stuff occasionally, but eating it often can easily lead to weight gain."
"Ah! I see! Miku understands now!"
Miku nodded lightly, clearly aware of this.
In the end, nearly thirty dishes were polished off by Yuki and Miku.
Actually, most of it was eaten by Yuki, as Miku's goal was mainly to try a bit of everything.
This kind of food tends to be heavily homogenized. After trying a few different types of burgers, Miku was already getting tired of them.
To avoid waste, Yuki ultimately ended up handling the bulk of it.
After eating and drinking their fill, Yuki spent two hours walking around the streets with Miku.
Even though she had just finished a concert in the morning, by the afternoon she was still full of energy, covering dozens of streets in one go.
Yuki couldn't help but marvel—a woman's stamina for shopping truly seemed bottomless.
