Returning to Sajuna's home for dinner after school that evening, Akira felt even more that his own house was just a place to sleep.
The three of them sat around a small table, eating three dishes and one soup.
Halfway through his meal, Akira couldn't help but ask Sajuna, "Sajuna."
"Hmm."
Sajuna's eating arm paused, she put down her chopsticks, and looked at Akira, asking,
"What's wrong? Do you need help with something?"
"I'm planning to hold a study session this week, and I might invite some classmates. Would Sajuna like to come?"
Sajuna tilted her head slightly, as if in thought.
"Are they Aki-Kun's friends?"
Akira nodded, adding, "Mostly, but there are also two girls."
A wary expression appeared on Sajuna's face.
"One is Marin, whom you know, and the other is Marin's friend."
Akira paused, "She's the crush of one of our club members."
"This time, I also have the idea of setting them up."
Sajuna's expression relaxed, but quickly a strange look appeared.
"Aki-Kun, playing matchmaker again?"
"I already told you to call me the God of Marriage, too."
Akira struggled for a moment, then explained, "This time, it's a voluntarily accepted request."
"Sajuna, you know."
"My club is for solving everyone's troubles and accepting all kinds of requests."
Akira waved his hand, explaining with an example.
"So, when Aki-Kun established the club, did he ever think about such things?"
Akira's arm dropped, "I did."
That's enough, I'm tired.
Anyway, I never intended to get rid of my title as the ultimate CP shipper.
"I have no problem with that."
Sajuna replied, looking at Shinju, who had innocent eyes, and said, "However, Shinju also needs to study, so there might not be enough space at home."
"Sister, I don't need to..."
Shinju tried to explain that she wouldn't hinder anything.
"No, that's not necessary. We can just hold it at my house then."
"It's just that Sajuna will have to go there, which might be a bit of a hassle."
"Okay."
Sajuna nodded, and the two continued eating.
After dinner, Shinju, as usual, returned to her bedroom to study, leaving the living room to Akira and her sister.
"Isn't this a bit unfair to Shinju?"
Sajuna looked at Shinju returning to her bedroom with some concern.
"It would be even worse if we made her stay here."
Akira, on the other hand, disagreed.
It really feels like there's no way to please everyone.
"Sajuna, have you chosen the location for the photo studio?"
Akira sat on the sofa, turned on the TV, listened to the sounds of the TV program, and gently took Sajuna's hand.
Sajuna was no longer as sensitive as she was at first; instead, she squeezed Akira's hand in hers, and gently tickled Akira's palm with her fingers.
It was a little warm, a little itchy, and she felt her heart rate speed up a bit.
Akira looked at Sajuna, who was trying to surprise him, with a smile in his eyes, feeling even more fond of the girl in front of him.
"I already have a target."
Sajuna replied, took out her phone, tapped a few times, and showed Akira the renderings.
"It's an abandoned hospital."
Akira wanted to reach out and take Sajuna's phone, but then he suddenly had an idea.
"Sajuna."
"Huh?"
Sajuna's arm paused in mid-air; she was clearly about to take the phone just now, why did she suddenly stop?
Akira reached out his arm, wrapped it around Sajuna's waist, and with a slight pull, Sajuna was lifted from the sofa by Akira.
"Aki-Kun, what's wrong?"
"So sudden, I wasn't ready..."
Sajuna's voice grew softer and softer, and she couldn't help but close her eyes.
Although she didn't know what Aki-Kun wanted to do, her heart couldn't help but start to anticipate.
Within a few seconds, Sajuna felt the strong hands around her waist release her body, and a stronger chest pressed against her back.
Sajuna looked up and saw Akira looking down at her, she had been carried into Aki-Kun's embrace!
Aki-Kun, really!
If he just wanted to do that, she could have climbed in herself!
Sajuna couldn't help but think to herself.
Akira looked at Sajuna, who was looking up at him, and couldn't help but gently kiss Sajuna's cheek.
Sajuna's cheek flushed.
It wasn't because she was kissed by Akira that she blushed, but because she felt ashamed of her thoughts just now.
Why was she always thinking about Aki-Kun doing something more with her!
Sajuna, you need to be more discreet!
"Let's continue looking at the chosen photo studio."
Akira lowered his head and whispered into Sajuna's ear, his hot breath caressing Sajuna's pink earlobe.
"Oh, oh, oh."
Sajuna fumbled to take out her phone and reopened the photo studio interface.
"An abandoned hospital, it's not far from our house."
Akira looked at the address and reviews on it; it seemed like a really good choice.
"Sajuna should choose this one, right?"
Akira's hands couldn't help but reach out and embrace Sajuna's body, his hands gently caressing Sajuna's lower abdomen.
"Aki-Kun."
Perhaps not understanding Sajuna's hint, Akira's movements didn't stop.
"Aki-Kun!" Sajuna twisted her body, and only then did Akira stop his actions.
"Oh, I'll listen to Sajuna now." Akira put on a serious expression, and his breath no longer went towards Sajuna's earlobe.
"There are a few photos in the description, and I feel like they can capture the feeling I have in mind."
"Eh, which one?" Akira leaned his face in, looking at the pictures on the phone next to Sajuna's cheek.
"It's this one."
Sajuna scrolled a few times and found a photo of a somewhat dim environment.
"This hospital is very similar to the abandoned hospital that the black lily went to after escaping in the flower princess storyline."
"And the place and atmosphere presented in this photo, I think, are very suitable for the scene where Kozue is questioning herself."
"This dark environment, coupled with Kozue's somewhat despairing expression, will definitely allow for a perfect cosplay of Kozue."
Sajuna's tone was serious and resolute.
This was her judgment as a cosplayer with 110,000 followers on Twitter!
"It feels just as Sajuna said."
Akira nodded; this kind of professional knowledge still depended on Sajuna's arrangements.
"Then let's finalize it for now, we'll settle the money at the end."
Sajuna nodded, after all, she hadn't paid Wakana for making the cosplay costumes yet.
"So, Sajuna." Akira turned his face and gently rubbed his cheek against Sajuna's smiling face.
Sajuna's cheeks visibly warmed up rapidly.
