187 How to pick up a girl?

Watching her reflection on the window, Yume smiled sweetly as she thought about her date with Mizuto. She told him that instead of meeting at home, they should meet somewhere, like how people normally had a date. 

Making an appointment and waiting for each other to come somehow built up tension before they started dating. 

Nevertheless, it was their first date, so Yume wanted to make it special. 

Well, it wasn't really their first date, but it was the first time for him to take the initiative to take her somewhere like this after they had confirmed their relationship once again.

While it might be strange, a woman loved a surprise. 

Something unexpected, one that couldn't be predicted on their unchanging every day. 

Mizuto grasped that point and invited Yume on the sudden date, which made her happy. 

Nevertheless, to prepare for this date, Yume woke up so early to dress and make up beautifully. She wanted to be the most beautiful in his eyes, after all, but that didn't mean she was going to wear a dress, as it was too much. Considering their destination, the Shiga Prefecture, she knew they would be mostly outdoors, so she should wear something easy to move. 

Her choice of clothes consisted of a Tosca T-shirt, a long light blue shirt, and a handbag. 

Yes, they were simple, but she felt that it was good, and she was sure that Mizuto would love it, especially when she tied her hair in a single braid. She knew well that Mizuto loved a ponytail, a braid, or any style that made her tie her hair. She wasn't sure why thought and only felt that it might be his fetish as he liked to kiss and lick her nape sometimes. 

'No~! No~! Yume~! You can't think something perverted~!' 

Yume tried to hold her perverted nature before letting out a long sigh as she was still in her period. At the same time, she felt sorry for Mizuto, as he couldn't enjoy her, but if there was a chance, she would try to use her hands and mouth. 

'Yeah, I will do it~!' 

Still, Shiga Prefecture, huh?

It was her first time going there, and she wondered what she could do there. As she looked on the internet, she saw that there were so many destinations that she could visit, and they all seemed exciting especially the Lake Biwa Museum. 

If Mizuto knew what her wish was, his lips would twitch. 

Nevertheless, as she waited for him, there was no doubt that many people stared at her as she was so beautiful. However, she didn't care much about those stares as her thoughts were always preoccupied with her date with him. 

Still, sometimes, someone just couldn't hold their impulse, and they tried their luck by talking to her. 

"Hello, are you alone?" 

The guy thought it was his chance to erase his single life, but unfortunately, Yume ignored him and stared at her smartphone, imagining her date with Mizuto. 

In the original, usually, even though Yume was so beautiful, no one tried to approach her, and everyone could tell that she was waiting for her date. Yet, in the original, it had forgotten how oblivious and stupid a human sometimes was. Even though they knew that it was impossible, they still tried it, and even though they had been rejected and ignored, they suddenly became angry even though someone did nothing. 

Facing Yume, who had been ignoring him, somehow, the man got angry, but when he was about to do something, a voice was heard. 

"Yume!" 

This voice quickly woke Yume up, and she quickly looked at Mizuto before her eyes brightened. 

Mizuto wore a simple white polo, beige ankle pants, a brown cardigan, and also brown loafers. On his wrist, one could also see the Seiko Alpinist with a leather strap.

Nevertheless, as everyone saw him, they were stunned in a place before they looked at Yume and the man who tried to approach her before shaking their heads.

Facing Mizuto, who was the epitome of elegance, the man seemed like a foil, especially when they saw the car behind Mizuto. 

Yume was also surprised by the white car behind Mizuto and asked curiously, "Did you drive this?" 

"Yeah, it's cute, right?" 

"Yeah." Yume observed the car, which was, like Mizuto had said before, "cute." 

Mizuto drove a Mazda MX-5 RF. While it might not have been the most expensive of his cars, it was undoubtedly the cutest, as it was small yet sleek. 

Still, in a country that lacked resources and most of the inhabitants were middle-class, one might not be able to see someone driving a car like this. 

"Anyway, come in." 

"Um~!" 

Watching Mizuto, who opened the door for her like a gentleman, Yume smiled sweetly. 

As Yume entered the car, Mizuto also went inside and ignored the man. He had noticed the man, but even so, what? What could that man do? Yet, he had to say that this man had chosen the wrong target. 

Mizuto knew that this might be weird, but instead of a young woman, a young man should try to approach an older woman. Unlike an older man who had gotten himself up and made his career, a young man had nothing, and he was simply a liability as they would likely become a burden instead of supporting their women. For a young woman, this type of man was something they would avoid. Even if the man was brave and tried to ask them out, they would simply ignore them since no one would have such an interest in such a man. 

The only people who were interested in such a man were a lonely young woman and an older woman. 

Yes, a lonely one. 

If they weren't lonely, they wouldn't even put their eyes on such a young man. 

Then, how would one find those who were lonely?

There was only one way, and that was to approach many women.

Yes, they might be rejected by many, but as long as they get a few, it is okay, right?

The pick-up was like working in marketing. 

If one is rejected, then move on to the next one. 

Mizuto knew he was being cruel, but as expected, the popular was the strongest, especially the second rich generation, who had a lot of free time and money. This type of guy was simply the favorite of every woman. 

Well, the most popular was simply the self-made, but such a man was rare, especially in this country where everyone was uniform. 

Still, for the man who tried to approach Yume, Mizuto thought that this guy would work part-time for his entire life or be a burden for his woman in the future before being cheated as his woman found a better choice. 

Still, it doesn't mean money is everything since sometimes true love exists.

Watching Yume, who went away with Mizuto, the man was frustrated before he let out a long, helpless sigh. 

"What a gold digger!" 

However, Yume and Mizuto simply ignored them. 

Their date was about to start, and Yume anticipated it a lot. Then she looked at him and asked, "Hey, I was about to be picked up before. Weren't you jealous?" Naturally, she knew she had been picked up before, but she simply ignored the man. However, Mizuto was relatively calm, which made her wonder whether he didn't feel anything. Couldn't you be slightly jealous? 

"You are beautiful. What's so weird about being picked up?" 

Mizuto didn't say whether he was jealous or not, but it solved the problem for good. 

The proof?

Well, leaning on his arm, Yume became so sticky at that moment. 

Yet, watching her like this, Mizuto could only smile helplessly, and at the same time, he wondered what she would do if he said that he dated the other girls, too. 

Still, there was something that he needed to remind her of. 

"By the way, Yume, you forgot something." 

"Eh? What did I forget?" As Yume fell into confusion, she looked into his gaze before she realized something. Her lips twitched before she let out a helpless sigh. Her face was covered in a red hue, clearly embarrassed, but as it was something that they had decided, she had to see it through. 

"Onii-chan..." 

Her voice was weak and meek, as if telling him to push her down. 

However—

Mizuto let out a helpless sigh since Yume was still in her period.
