V5 – Episode 16 – Shopping with Fiancee
“What should we try next?”
“Hmm
 how about that one?”
What Arisa pointed to was the so-called “zombie shooting game”.
It was a very radical choice for Arisa.
“Ah, sure
 Speaking of which, you’re okay with zombies, right?”
If it is a zombie-slaying game, Yuzuru had one in his house and they both played it.
Though she was not a fan of horror games, she was not afraid of zombies and was able to defeat them with ease.
In fact, she was even better at it than Yuzuru.
“
?　What does that mean?”
“No, since you’re not good with ghosts.”
“I’m not afraid of ghosts.”
“I see. Then, let’s watch ‘Rin*’ or something next time together.”
“
”
“
Okay, stop staring so much.”
As he was about to be hexed to death by Arisa, Yuzuru involuntarily raised his hands.
Seeing Yuzuru like that, Arisa made a small snorting sound.
“I’ve never been afraid of sharks and zombies because I can defeat them.”
“I see. So that’s your standard.”
In other words, she was not good with special attacks but was not afraid of physical attack systems.
From the looks of it, she might be able to handle physical monsters and monstrosities as well.
The two of them started to play the game, but

“Hey, Yuzuru-san. Pull yourself together, please.”
“Eh~, are you going to take it off there?”
“Yuzuru-san, you die too much.”
Yuzuru was repeatedly berated by Arisa.
“Anyway, you’ll die if there’s a zombie panic, won’t you, Yuzuru-san?”
Of course, games and real guns were different.
If the city was overrun with zombies, both will die together.
“What will you do if I die?”
“
Eh?　When you ask that
 What should I do? This is troubling.”
An indescribable expression appeared on Arisa’s face.
As one would expect, high school students don’t think about things like ‘What if my lover dies?’.
“Let’s see. Is the model answer
 that I will treasure the memories of Yuzuru-san and live on?”
“That sounds wholesome.”
They strolled around the game center while making light-hearted remarks like that.
“Ah, Yuzuru-san, they have Purikura. Would you like to try?”
“Purikura huh
”
“
Is there any problem?”
“No, not really. I’ve never done it before. Arisa had 
used it right!”
She mentioned that she had taken a picture with Ayaka and the others before.
Yuzuru had also taken pictures with Arisa in the past
 but never purikura.
“That’s surprising. Have you never done this with your friends
 Satake-san and Ryozenji-san?”
“I’ll ask you this, can you imagine three guys taking purikura together?”
“
It’s disgusting.”
Yuzuru laughed at Arisa’s direct reply.
There were times when the three of them would go out to eat cake together, but as expected, they wouldn’t do the purikura.
That was because it wasn’t exactly pleasant.
“So I’ll be the senpai this time.”
“That’s right.”
Thinking that this was an unusual composition, the two of them entered the photo machine together.
Arisa operated the machine, and Yuzuru watched in a daze.
“Ah, it’s about to start.”
“Eh, already!?”
Yuzuru was confused, but he posed and made facial expressions as Arisa told him to.
Then Arisa started to process the photos.
To be honest, Yuzuru didn’t know what was so fun about it, but it was good that Arisa seemed to be enjoying it.
“Yes, this is yours, Yuzuru-san.”
“Thanks for this.”
Yuzuru checked the purikura.
The first thing he thought was, “My face looks weird“.
Then he compared the photo with the real Arisa’s face.
“After all, the real one is prettier.”
“H-hey
 please don’t be like that all of a sudden.”
Arisa said with a slight blush on her cheeks.
Now, the date at the arcade was over

The two of them went to the shopping mall.
“That’s right, Yuzuru-san
 I’ve been wanting to buy a swimsuit.”
“Swimsuit?　Didn’t you buy it already?”
As far as Yuzuru knew, Arisa had two swimsuits.
The first was a white bikini and the second was a black bikini.
The first one she wore when they took a bath together, and the second one she wore on their date at the pool last year.
“I have two pieces, but one of them doesn’t fit anymore.”
“Is
 that so”
Yuzuru involuntarily turned his gaze to Arisa’s chest.
It was so big that he could clearly see it over her uniform.
“
hey, where are you looking?”
“No, you’re the one who said that
”
It was a man’s nature to want to be sure when someone says that.
“By the way, how big did they get?”
Yuzuru whispered softly in Arisa’s ear.
Arisa glared at him with fierce eyes.
“It’s a secret.”
Apparently, she wouldn’t tell him.
So, with this exchange, the two of them entered a store where swimsuits were sold.
“
”
“What’s the matter, Yuzuru-san?”
“No
 I’m just having a hard time staying here.”
Although it was not so strange when you entered the store as a boyfriend accompanying your girlfriend
 Still, men tend to stand out a bit in these stores

“Is that so? 
I was hoping you’d choose with me.”
“No, it’s okay.”
However, the position of being able to choose a swimsuit for Arisa was far more important.
“By the way, Yuzuru-san
 between one piece and bikini, you prefer the latter, right?”
“Eh? No, well, I guess so
”
Arisa in a one-piece swimsuit and Arisa in a bikini.
Although he liked both of them, if he had to choose, he would say the latter.
“As I recall, if it’s between black and white, you like black, don’t you?”
“More than saying I like it
 I just think that black looks better on you..”
Arisa’s skin was white, so the darker the fabric, the more it would shine.
Of course, white was also neat and pretty

But Arisa’s facial features were more on the beautiful side than the cute side, so a touch of sexiness was more likely to make her stand out.
“Blue or red would be good, too?”
“I see. All right.”
How about this one?
How about that one?
Each time, Yuzuru responds to her question.
However, somehow it seemed like Yuzuru’s replies were not very helpful.
She just listened to them and then made a face that said, “But I still think this one is better.. for me“.
This was a typical thing for girls.
Mainly Arisa and his sister, Ayumi, had this attitude after hearing Yuzuru’s opinion.
“Hmm
”
While Arisa was making her selection, Yuzuru was scurrying around, looking around.
For a swimwear store that catered to the Japanese market, it seemed to have a pretty sexy selection.
Out of all the stores, it was Arisa who chose this one.
Even though Arisa was shy about exposing her skin, she sometimes wore something unexpectedly sexy.
In a way, this might be her hobby, as it was the reverse of embarrassment.
(Wow
 that’s amazing!)
When Yuzuru saw a swimsuit with a small area of fabric, or a swimsuit with a sexy design but not so small area, he thought to himself.
Thinking about when Arisa was to wear one of these swimsuits
 few things were “coming” out.
“Yuzuru-san, which one of these is
?　What are you looking at?”
Arisa came rushing up to him, holding a swimsuit in both her hands.
Before Yuzuru could answer, she looked beyond his gaze.
“Hmm.”
“N-no
 It didn’t mean anything
”
“Well, that’s fine.”
Without showing any sign of concern – although her skin was blushing slightly – Arisa showed Yuzuru the swimsuit she was holding in both hands.
“Which do you think is better?”
“Hmm, let’s see
”
And so the exchange went on.
Then they went to a few other stores and
 about two hours passed.
“Then, Yuzuru-san, please wait around here.”
That’s what she said to him at the rest area.
“Don’t you want me to go with you?”
“What I am buying is
 a secret, for now.”
“Don’t keep me in suspense
”
However, looking forward to the choice was not so bad either.
“Please look forward to it.”
Arisa remarked with a slightly embarrassed blush on her cheeks.
