Chapter 34 Color Illustration Remake – Mengyue & Shidou (Their Meet-Cute in a Pile of Banknotes)
Walking to a corner of Tiangong City Park—remote and almost deserted, so withdrawing cash here felt a little risky—Shidō spotted a tiny branch bank with a row of ATMs. One silhouette was already inside.
“Hm… this isn’t a crime, I’m only fixing this broken cash machine. The security camera just happens to be on the fritz, so it can’t record me—totally beyond my control! Yep! Absolutely unavoidable!”
A baggy black trench-coat draped over a small frame, and long, flowing chestnut hair swished as the figure moved—clearly a girl.
While she muttered her odd justification, suspicious “bzzt-bzzt” noises crackled from her direction.
Shidō’s eyes snapped wide; before he could stop himself he pointed and shouted, “Ryōgi Yumezuki!”
“Who—?!” Startled, the girl spun around and rattled off, “W-wait! Let me explain, it’s not what you think… oh, you’re the boy from yesterday.”
The instant Yumezuki recognized the boy who had “confessed” to her the day before—Five Rivers Shidō—the ATM’s cash slot erupted, spraying a blizzard of 10,000-yen “Yukichi” notes that fluttered between them like cherry-blossom petals in a sudden spring storm.
