Considering Aiko’s exceptional charm, it was hard to imagine any guy could resist."You’re so annoying. I’m going to try on some clothes." With that, Aiko casually picked up an outfit and headed to the fitting room."Hey, Mami, it really looks like she’s serious. Do you think Gennai has some kind of… issue?"
