“Pachinko, this is something that can cheat people out of their money, so good girls shouldn’t touch it,” Xia Zhi reminded her.

“Oh……”

Rokuko nodded as if he understood, but his attention was soon drawn to something else.

“What about that one over there?”

Along the way, the girl’s lively voice and delicate and lovely appearance attracted the attention of many passers-by, but she didn’t care, or had no interest in paying attention. Her energy was only focused on the boy next to her and the new and unfamiliar things around her. She looked at the surrounding scenes with shining eyes, as if she was full of curiosity about everything in this world.

“What’s that little cart over there?”

“A stall selling snacks… do you want to go over and take a look?” Xia Zhi suggested, glancing at the cart not far away.

“Ok!”

……

“Wow……”

Seeing the tiny threads winding into a big, soft white ball, Rokuko’s eyes lit up.

“Can I learn?” She turned around and asked the boy.

What are you learning this for?

Most people ask if they can eat it, right?

Xia Zhi complained in his heart, took the finished marshmallow from the boss and handed it to the girl next to him.

At the boy’s signal, Rokuko carefully opened his mouth and took a bite, then his eyes lit up again.

“So sweet!”

She looked up at the boy and said happily

“Summer solstice, so sweet!”

“alright, I got it.”

Looking at the girl who seemed to have seen something good and couldn’t wait to show it off to her parents, Xia Zhi touched her little head and responded.

However, Rokuko didn’t seem satisfied, and as if she wanted to share this wonderful taste with the boy, she handed the marshmallow to her.

Under the girl’s expectant gaze, Xia Zhi also took a bite: “Mm, very sweet.”

Only then did she smile happily again.

“If you like it, how about I make it for you when we get home?”

“Okay!” the girl replied sweetly.

After thinking about it, she happily added:

“I love the summer solstice the most~”

……

“Summer Solstice, what is that?”

“Hippo, stupid.”

“What about that one?”

“Monkey, silly.”

“Oh……”

Looking at the blonde girl who was half lying on the glass, looking at the various animals inside with curiosity, Xia Zhi just felt that she was still quite cute.

Although it is a bit troublesome to take care of a child, seeing the child so cute makes my heart feel healed.

“Can they be eaten?” the girl turned around and looked at him and asked.

So you are curious about this?

Xia Zhi complained in his heart.

“No,” he answered decisively.

If you cook park employees without permission, you will be fined, right?

“Oh……”

The girl’s mood dropped and she looked a little disappointed.

After visiting the snack street, Xia Zhi took her to the zoo.

Unfortunately, although she looked petite and had the mentality of a child, she was unable to buy a half-price children’s ticket because her height was over 140 cm.

…But seeing that the girl seemed to like it very much, it was worth the money.

Xia Zhi thought about it and took her to the next area.

“Oh, I know this one. It has big, long ears. It’s a rabbit!”

“…That’s an elephant.”

“Huh? Really?”

Looking at the puzzled expression on the girl’s face, Xia Zhi was a little skeptical. What standards did Rokuko use to leave her with common sense and knowledge?

… 887 …

After leaving the zoo, it was almost time for lunch, so I should find a place to fill my stomach first, Xia Zhi thought.

“Ah! Wait a minute!”

When passing by a stationery store, Rokuko seemed to have seen something, broke free from Xia Zhi’s hand and ran into the store.

You promised not to leave my side, I totally forgot.

Xia Zhi thought helplessly.

Fortunately, the girl came back not long after, with a small book that looked like a notebook in her hand.

“This is…?” Xia Zhi tilted his head slightly.

Rokuko shook her head gently, lowered her head to look at the notebook she was holding in her arms, and explained softly: “A lot of happy things happened today. I’m afraid I’ll forget them later, so I want to write them down.”

……I see.

Looking at the girl with her head lowered in front of him, Xia Zhi thought.

It seems that she herself has realized that her current situation is the result of forgetting a lot of things… Is that why she said she is afraid of forgetting again?

“…”

Xia Zhi sighed slightly and did not pursue the matter of her running away just now.

only……

“Have you paid?” Looking at the notebook in the girl’s arms, he seemed to remember something and asked.

“Money?” Rokuko tilted his head slightly.

“…”

It seems not.

…….

Chapter 1183 Love that will never change

After paying the boss who had chased after him, Xia Zhi took the girl’s hand again and took her to the next place.

For lunch, he didn’t take the girl to any fancy place, but just took her to a very ordinary family restaurant on the roadside.

Even so, for Rokuko, who came to such a place for the “first time”, everything inside was full of novelty and attraction. Even fried ice cream, a dish that is usually rare but not very novel, could make the girl’s eyes light up in amazement and she kept saying it was delicious.

Because of her cute and supportive behavior, the restaurant owner gave them two extra side dishes.

“Why don’t you have to pay this time?”

After walking out of the restaurant, Rokuko held the boy’s hand and followed him. He looked up at him and asked curiously.

“Because Rokuko is very cute, everyone likes you.” Xia Zhi replied.

Rokuko tilted his head in confusion: “If I like it, can I use it as money?”

To some extent, emotional attachment is also an important part of value.

Of course, such an answer is obviously not appropriate when facing a girl.

After thinking for a while, Xia Zhi replied: “Because… sometimes, liking and loving can also be expressed as a kind of selfless dedication.”

Giving without asking for anything in return…?

When the girl was thinking deeply, the voice of a strange girl in front of her interrupted her thoughts.

“Mr. Xiazhi~”

Rokuko’s ears twitched slightly, and she caught the key words that concerned her. She raised her head and looked forward following the sound. She saw a purple-haired girl wearing a visor and a cool dress appeared at the intersection not far ahead. She was smiling happily and waving to greet them.

Who is that?

Looking at the young and beautiful girl, Rokuko thought puzzledly.

Before she could figure out the answer to this question, the girl had already trotted up to them.

“Long time no see~” After taking a deep breath, Hinata greeted the boy with a smile.

Judging from the normal time span, it has indeed been a long time.

But for Hinata herself, they had just had a swimming pool party with her not long ago… er, water park party, right?

“Oh, is this Mr. Xiazhi’s child? So cute~”

His eyes fell on the blonde girl hiding beside Xia Zhi. Hinata stretched out his hand as if he wanted to pinch Rokuko’s face, but the girl turned her head away and dodged.

Hinata didn’t care and withdrew her hand, looking at the girl with a smile, which made Rokuko feel uncomfortable.

Of course she knew Rokuko, and it could even be said that they “knew” each other before the summer solstice… after all, they had fought once before.

However, she had also heard about the girl’s current condition from Xia Zhi, so she was not surprised that the girl didn’t recognize her. Instead, she joined in the play.

“Why are you here?” Xia Zhi didn’t continue her topic and asked instead.

Hearing this, Hinata withdrew his gaze from the girl and replied as a matter of course: “Mr. Xiazhi is in trouble, how can we just ignore it?”

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand towards Rokuko: “Come on, I’ll take you to some fun places~”

Looking at her hand stretched out in front of him, Rokuko turned his head away: “… Xiazhi doesn’t allow me to talk to strangers.”

At this time, you remember my words so clearly. Xia Zhi complained in his heart.

On the other side, seeing that she didn’t want to hold his hand, Hinata thought about it and decided to change his strategy and held Xiazhi’s hand instead.

Seeing this, Rokuko immediately became anxious. He stepped forward, pulled their hands apart, and held the boy’s hand tightly in his own.

Hinata smiled gently and took her hand

This time Liu Kui didn’t dare to break free easily, as if he was afraid that she would have a free hand to hold Xia Zhi’s other hand, so he stood between her and the boy.

It was easily controlled.

Xia Zhi, who witnessed this scene from the side, sighed in his heart.

Although Hinata, as a non-combatant, is far inferior to Rokuko in terms of combat power, on the mental level, Hinata is undoubtedly far superior to the current girl.

As expected, he has decades of experience.

Hinata seemed to sense something and turned to look at him in confusion: “Hmm? Mr. Xiazhi, are you thinking about something?”

“…No, let’s go.” Xia Zhi said, holding the girl’s hand.

With Hinata’s joining, the originally random route suddenly became much clearer.

Under the girl’s perfect planning, even the visual experience while riding on the bus and tram has been taken into consideration, and the various scenery in different areas along the road will not make people feel bored or sleepy at all.

Each station has reserved time for getting off the train to experience the fun. After visiting the interesting places around, you can just catch the next train, so you won’t waste any time on sightseeing. In addition, you can enjoy the scenery and relax while riding, and you won’t feel mentally exhausted because of too many activities.

Xia Zhi couldn’t help but marvel at this time management ability. He considered whether he should ask the girl for advice when he had some free time.

After some fun, when it was almost dusk, they finally arrived at the final stop planned by Hinata for the day, a different Naruto Bridge from the one they came to last time with Rokuko.

Unlike the other two bridges which are completely blocked, a walking trail called “Vortex Road” is open here, allowing tourists to enter the passage inside the bridge.
