Shinju finished taking photos of her older sister, who was making various intimate gestures in front of her, and happily checked the captured pictures.
Her older sister had suddenly become the lively type; there was no shyness visible at all.
Shinju couldn't quite figure out what her sister was thinking; she had been blushing shyly just before.
Seeing her older sister and Akira-kun looking so deeply in love, Shinju felt she could leave for a while, as Marin-nee was also waiting for the camera to take photos.
As for her older sister, Shinju would let her and Akira-kun enjoy some alone time.
"Older sister, I'm going to go take pictures of Marin-nee by myself first."
"Eh."
"I'm leaving!"
Shinju ran off directly, leaving Sajuna a bit flustered.
"Don't look, Shinju has already run to another room."
Akira looked down at Sajuna, kissed her forehead, and said, "Now, let's just stay like this for a while."
Sajuna pouted; she hadn't done anything, but when Shinju left, she always felt like she had done something bad.
Akira took Sajuna's swaying hand, squeezed her palm, and looked down from Sajuna's hat, first at the neat wig, then her cheeks, and then the exquisitely made cos-play outfit.
"It's really nice, being with Sajuna."
Akira said this, released her hand, and pulled Sajuna into his embrace.
"Aki-Kun."
Sajuna's tone carried a hint of coquetry; she seemed to sense the change in her boyfriend's mood.
Her heart couldn't help but soften, but then she remembered what had happened during the photo shoot just now; she hadn't been so proactive before, but today she actually made all her inner thoughts come true.
Sajuna nestled in Akira's embrace, shyly stamping her foot.
"Sajuna, hm?"
Akira looked down at Sajuna, who was buried in his arms.
"Aki-Kun, do you think I'm a perverted girl for doing what I did today?"
Sajuna lowered her voice, a little embarrassed, but still tried her best to appear self-righteous.
"That's, that's because Little Shion wanted to do those things, so, so I kindly helped her fulfill her wishes."
"It's not because I wanted to be with…"
Sajuna once again found herself in a situation where her self-made excuses couldn't convince herself; when she acted before, her motivation could be very strong.
"No, why would I think that?"
Akira replied.
"Which 'no' is Aki-Kun referring to?"
"Neither."
"Don't say the latter part is wrong; I painstakingly made up that excuse…"
"Then I just think the former part is 'no'."
"You clearly still think that Sajuna wanted to be intimate with Aki-Kun, which is why she acted that way just now!"
"I didn't!"
"Aki-Kun, you did."
Sajuna stamped her foot, thumped Akira's chest in his embrace, and rubbed her cheek against Akira's chest.
The brim of the black lily hat was a bit long, so Sajuna took off the hat and held it in her hand.
So, was it a 'yes' or a 'no' after all?
Akira also felt a bit troubled looking at Sajuna in his arms.
Although Sajuna was so adorable, she still had the common mischievousness of a girl.
The reason he said mischievous was because Sajuna was just talking and didn't intend to get a definite answer.
Otherwise, Akira would really start to worry.
A classic scenario popped into his mind.
You just don't understand me.
If you don't say anything, how can I understand you?
If you truly understand, there's no need to say it.
If you say it, wouldn't I understand?
What's the point of saying it? If I don't say it, you should still understand.
I'm not a fortune teller; how am I supposed to know what you mean?
I don't mean anything.
Indeed, it means nothing.
Right, now that I'm talking, do you think what I'm saying is meaningless?
Is it what I said that's meaningless?
Then if I say it's meaningless, does it mean it's meaningless?
Then tell me, what exactly do you mean?
Okay. Now I'll tell you what I mean.
I won't listen, I won't listen, I won't listen, it's like a turtle chanting sutras!
Just thinking about such things made Akira's head ache; he was grateful that Sajuna wasn't that kind of girl.
After they hugged for a while, Akira started to remind Sajuna.
"Alright, alright, Sajuna, do you want to go see Marin together?"
"Mm, we can go together."
Sajuna lifted her head from Akira's embrace, looking at Akira's cheek.
"When we were taking photos just now, Shinju was always there. Now that Shinju has left, shouldn't Aki-Kun kiss me?"
Akira smiled, tightened his embrace around Sajuna, suppressed the romantic thoughts that emerged in his heart, and then obediently lowered his head.
It was just a simple kiss, without any dramatic conflict. Akira, considering Sajuna's reaction after kissing, did not try to 'fight' with Sajuna in an unfamiliar place.
Their lips parted, and Sajuna, with flushed cheeks, emerged from Akira's embrace. It was a good time to use her tongue, but Aki-Kun still followed the old rhythm.
Although there was a slight regret in her heart, she felt light and floaty all over. She always felt that if they went any further, she might have to worry about something.
Sajuna's cheeks were pink, and her heart was warmly thumping. She turned her face away, put on her hat, and then pulled Akira towards where Marin was taking photos.
After passing through several rooms, they saw the three people taking photos. Marin was adjusting her expression, standing by the window, and taking various kinds of pictures.
Wakana was looking happily at Marin, who was striking various poses.
"It's really amazing."
"Inui-san's younger sister is actually always in this state when taking photos."
Wakana thought this, then suddenly felt someone pat his shoulder. He turned his head and saw Akira and Sajuna walking over.
"Akira-kun, Inui-san."
"Before Shinju came, did Wakana take any photos of Kitagawa-san?"
"Yes, but I'm sure they can't compare to the photos Shinju's younger sister takes."
Wakana said helplessly, "But this gives Kitagawa-san even more motivation to earn money to buy a camera."
"Kitagawa-san has always been so full of initiative."
Akira also sighed.
Looking at Shinju and Marin taking photos, Akira suddenly remembered, "By the way, Wakana."
"Eh?"
"When you go back, remember to send me the address for buying cos-play fabric again."
"Oh, oh."
Wakana nodded. Akira-kun was also going to make a cos-play outfit for Inui-san.
"Akira-kun, Older Sister, you're here too!"
Shinju turned her head, her breathing a little rapid, and sweat beaded on her cheeks from excitement.
"Mm."
Sajuna walked over, took out a tissue, and wiped Shinju's sweat.
"Be careful, Shinju, or your makeup will run later."
"Sorry, Older Sister, I'm just too happy."
Shinju replied with a smile, her lips curving happily.
"By the way, Shinju, you haven't taken any photos of yourself cos-playing yet, have you?"
Sajuna asked.
"Mm, only group photos with Marin-nee."
"Eh, Shinju, you haven't taken any yet?"
Kitagawa curiously leaned over. She thought Shinju had finished taking all her photos before coming over, and was surprised at how fast it was.
"In that case, let's take some photos of Shinju's part next."
Sajuna decided.
"Eh, but if we do that, Akira-kun will definitely have to participate, so who will take the photos?"
"Of course, it's Wakana! Didn't he also learn how to use the camera?"
Akira patted Wakana's shoulder, and Wakana also cooperatively smiled.
"Mm!"
