Chapter 10 - 93 to 102

It was raining heavily outside the window, the house was dark, and anime was playing.

Yuzumi Yu and Furui Taku have already finished the game. After all, it's a three-person game, and it's not fun without one person.

The two sat together, drinking drinks and eating snacks.

"It's been about twenty minutes, right?" Gu Jing put the empty cup of Calbee chips on the table and picked up the BOSS juice beside him.

Glancing at the time on his phone, Yuzumi Yuu replied, "Almost thirty minutes."

"What is this guy doing?"

Yuzumi Yu opened Line and replied to Kyoko Gono - No.

The guy had asked him 'are you ready' three times since morning.

So what if it's okay?

Where can we go to play on such a rainy day?

You can't always find a roof to get some fresh air.

"Click."

The door opened.

The two people in the living room leaned back and looked toward the corridor at the door.

I heard Tateno Souta's voice.

"Give me the stuff."

I heard the quiet female voice again.

"I'm sorry to trouble you so much."

"It's okay." Li Ye said.

Unable to see what was happening at the door, the two men turned around, looked at each other, and then quickly took the clothes on the sofa and put them on.

Furui Taku was confused and asked as he put on his clothes, "What's going on?"

He couldn't think of any other possibility except that Tateno's mother came.

Yuzumi Yu could guess a little bit, that voice seemed familiar.

The footsteps were approaching, and meeting the gazes of the two people in the living room, Li Ye, who was soaked all over, led a petite girl who was also soaked all over in to walk in.

Gu Jing was even more confused. He looked at Yuzumi Yu, then at Tateno, then at the girl... then at Yuzumi Yu, then at Tateno Souta.

"I'm so sorry to bother you all!"

The petite and delicate girl bowed deeply to the two people in the living room.

Tateno Souta was smiling awkwardly beside him.

"Hello, Fukamizu-san, I'm sorry to bother you." Yuzumi Yu was very polite.

"Ah?" Gu Jing was as confused as someone madly banging his head against the mirror in a mirror maze.

Look at Yuzumi Yu, then look at that girl, and then look at Tateno.

"We're classmates from the same school." Yuzumi Yu turned around and explained to the sunny boy.

Tateno went to settle Fukamizu Saori. The sunny boy looked away and asked with a puzzled look, "What's going on?"

"I don't know either. Let's wait for Zou Tai to come over."

After a while, after settling Shen Shui down, Li Ye came back.

The short-haired boy's hair, face, and body were all wet, as if he had just returned from a swim in Tokyo Bay.

"What's going on? Why did you bring a girl back?" Gu Jing asked first.

"Hmm..." Li Ye sat down cross-legged, silent for a while, "Something happened in her family recently, and she was just kicked out."

"God-waited girl?" He blurted out subconsciously, then realized it and immediately bowed his head to apologize, "Sorry, it was not intentional."

The God-waiting girl refers to a homeless girl who stands on the street with a suitcase, waiting for a kind-hearted person to help her...

It's not a nice word. Although some of the God-like girls claim that they don't have such relationships, but... 90 percent of them will... um.

"It's okay." Tateno said.

"So Mr. Shenshui is homeless now?" The handsome boy said calmly.

"Well, that's right," Tateno Souta said, standing up and bowing solemnly. "I'm sorry, today was supposed to be a gathering for the three of us."

"fine."

"fine."

The two said.

"So what are you going to do now?"

"Let her live here?"

Obviously, this matter is more important than the party.

Of course, they would not interfere with what Li Ye did, they were just asking questions and giving advice.

Both of them are masters at the military strategist level.

——Self-proclaimed.

"Let's see what the situation is." Tateno Kanata obviously didn't know what to do, so he just went to pick the person up first.

After a moment of silence, Furui Taku suddenly spoke.

"That's not right, Yuzumi, how did you know that? Why am I the only one who doesn't know?"

"You've been isolated." Yuzumi Yu joked lightly.

"Because Fukasawa is in the same class as us," Tateno explained.

"Oh." Furui suddenly realized something, but then felt something was wrong. "That's not right, Sota. When did you approach a girl?"

"The teacher has assigned us to a study group. We will stay in school to study together after the club activities." Tateno said with a serious face.

"There's a story." Yuzumi Yu is very smart.

Gu Jing immediately came over, looking curious: "Tell me about it."

"Uh..." Tateno Kanata scratched his head, "Just studying every day..." As he said that, he suddenly turned to the handsome boy.

"Hyuzumi, I discovered something amazing. Fukamizu-san is very good. Her grades are even better than mine."

"Yeah." Yuzumi Yu nodded lightly.

"And then?" Gu Jing urged.

"Then, I noticed that Shen Shui was in a bad mood, so one afternoon after studying, I asked her to play games.

Then, the next day, I saw a wound on her arm and kept asking her about it, and she told me that something had happened at home."

Yuzumi Yu and Furui Taku looked at each other and chose to remain silent.

After a while, the handsome young man asked, "When did you go back?"

"Around nine o'clock in the evening."

The two looked at each other again.

I guess the reason Shen Shui was beaten was not only because of family problems, but also because you took her out to play so late, right?

"It's mainly because I was having too much fun." Tateno said seriously, "I haven't played games this relaxed in a while."

"…"The other two.

"Souta, I will be more accommodating to you in the future." said the sunny boy.

"Me too." The young Yuzumi boy agreed.

Li Ye gave him a puzzled look.

Then, "Really?"

"…"

A little head suddenly popped out from the corner of the wall and said cautiously, "Tateno-san, I, I'm done washing."

Everyone looked over.

The man shrank back timidly.

"Souta, go take a shower quickly, otherwise you'll catch a cold." Yuzumi Yu took out his cell phone.

"Okay." Li Ye stood up.

Furui Takutan sat on the floor, leaning against the sofa. After Tateno left, there were only two people left in the living room. He said, "Should we go back?"

"No need." Yuzumi Yu said lightly while typing.

"Hmm?" The sunny boy looked over, "Yuzhu, what are you doing?"

"I'm shaking someone."

"ah?"

"I'll ask Sota to ask Fukamizu to come out for a party later," the boy said calmly.

Gu Jing subconsciously glanced at the corner of the wall where the little head had popped out before, "Is it really okay?"

"So I called Kyoko." Yuzumi Yu turned off the screen.

"Huh?" The young man immediately got the idea and pondered for a moment, "That's a good idea."

"But..." He looked at the boy again, "Are you close enough to call each other by name?"

"…"

After Li Ye came out of the shower, the three of them sat in the living room and played games.

But Tateno Kanata was obviously a little absent-minded. He opened his mouth from time to time to say something, but then swallowed it back.

Yuzumi Yu couldn't bear it any longer, "Souta, I called Kyoko, let's get Fukamizu-san out to party together later."

"Eh?" Li Ye was stunned, blinked, and then felt a little embarrassed, "I was just about to say this."

"That's so unmanly, Zou Tai." Gu Jing complained.

Yuzumi Yu glanced at the sunny boy who was sitting and talking without any back pain.

"Ding Dong."

The doorbell rang.

The handsome young man stood up and said, "Kyoko should be here."

Go to the door and open it.

A tall girl with long black hair was standing at the door in a raincoat. The heavy rain came through the semi-open corridor and hit her raincoat with crackling sounds.

The Gono girl looked him up and down, then nodded with satisfaction.

Yuzumi Yu was confused.

When he entered the room and took off his raincoat, he found that this guy was also wearing a white T-shirt, casual dark trousers and flat shoes.

The two of them wore the same clothes.

Yuzumi Yu only sent the other party an address and asked if she could come now, and she rushed there.

It seems that she is really bored at home.

After taking the other person's raincoat and placing it at the door, Kyoko Gono was changing her shoes, well...little white socks.

Will Gono also wear white socks?

Leading the girl inside, the two of them looked into the living room.

"Welcome, Gono-san," the two said.

Yuzumi Yu sat down on the far right side of the sofa, close to the window, and the girl sat on his right.

The boy was sitting cross-legged, while the girl was sitting upright, with her legs slightly bent inwards. Her two legs in casual pants were very long and stretched over the coffee table.

Heavy rain poured down on the glass door, and thunder flashed outside the window from time to time.

Yuzumi Yu picked up the potato chips and drinks on the table and handed them to the girl beside him. At the same time, he looked at Tateno and said, "Souta, call Fukamizu-san to come out and have a party."

Kyoko Gono took it, put the drink on the ground, and broke the potato chips with a "pop".

"good."

Tateno was on the far left and stood up immediately.

Taku Furui glanced at the short-haired boy's back as he left, then took the handle of the sofa behind him and handed it to Yuzumi Yu.

"Playing games?"

The handsome boy handed his handle to the girl.

Wu Ye was eating potato chips with an expressionless face. He looked at the handle being handed to him. His cheeks were still chewing, and his hand had already reached out.

"Wait a minute." Yuzumi Yu withdrew his hand, and the girl looked up at him.

He pulled a few tissues from the table and said, "Wipe your hands first. Don't get the handle all greasy."

The girl was wiping her hands, Yuzumi Yu took the remote control, exited the anime, and looked for a game.

The sunny boy leaned on the sofa, looking at his mobile phone.

After a while, Tateno Kanata came out with Saori Fukamizu.

Fukamizu bowed and said louder than usual, "I'm sorry to bother you!"

"Let's play together."

"Yes, please join us."

"Really? Is it really possible?" The girl was a little timid.

"No problem at all!"

Five people sat on the floor around the coffee table. The room was dark, and outside it was raining heavily with howling winds.

I thought the controllers were to be taken turns playing, but unexpectedly, Tateno took out two more controllers from the room.

"Still in stock, Sota."

"How come you have so many controllers?"

Tateno placed the controller under the TV to charge. "It was previously discarded, so it should still be usable. Let's give it a try."

Everyone ate snacks and cleared the food off the table. Li Ye took out new food from the room and the refrigerator and filled it up again.

After the controller charged for a while, Li Ye unplugged it and fiddled with it for a while before shouting, "It still works!"

"Very good."

"As expected of you, Sota."

Continue to plug in to charge. During this time, people who played games chose to watch anime.

Fukasui-san knelt on the left side of Ritsuye and didn't say much. The three teenagers were the only ones who spoke in the room.

Wuye didn't say anything either. He just curled up his legs, his thighs squeezing his fullness, eating snacks and playing with his cell phone.

Tateno and Furui were not as reserved as the last time the four of them had lunch together. It might be because there was another girl present, or it might be because they were more relaxed at home.

It may also be that Kyoko Gono's presence is relatively low now.

Someone was taking a picture of him, Yuzumi Yu turned around, and Gono pointed at the cup of French fries on the other end of the coffee table.

The boy looked at the ground next to the other person, where there was a pile of finished snacks.

"…"

Kyoko is really not polite at all.

He stood up, took the cup of chips from the table in front of him, and handed it to the girl.

Before, a few people were watching anime, complaining about the plot and characters from time to time, and they were very fascinated. When Yuzumi Yu stood up to get something, he blocked Gu Jing's way with his body. Gu Jing even said "Hey" and lowered his head to continue watching TV.

When the controller was almost charged, Li Ye ran over to unplug it, then turned around and threw the controller over.

Yuzumi Yu and Furui Taku caught it perfectly.

"Well done." They said in unison.

Kyoko Gono glanced at the boy.

Time to play games——

A five-player game that requires coordination.

"Yazumi, go step on that."

"Please, can we all dance together?"

"Souta, you teach Fumizu-san."

Playing this kind of game is the fastest way to get familiar with it.

Gono is very smart, and Yuzumi Yu doesn't need much teaching, but Fukasui is always a step behind. Before Yuzumi Yu and Furui say anything, Tateno will go crazy.

"Mr. Fukasui, you have to pay attention to the timing." Tateno said seriously.

"I, I will!" Saori Fukamizu, who always lags behind, feels a little embarrassed.

"Count to three, two, one," Yuzumi Yu suggested.

"Yeah, sure."

"three."

"two."

"one!"

Everyone was staring at the TV intently.

"Wuhu!" Li Ye went wild, raising his hands high. "It's absolutely perfect!"

"Souta!" Furui complained, "You scared me."

Everyone was concentrating on playing the game, but suddenly there was a howl, which was really scary.

The Gono girl glanced over with an expressionless but murderous look.

Shen Shui-san gave me a reproachful look.

Yuzumi Yu simply leaned over, picked up the drink on Kyoko's right, and held it in front of the girl.

The girl retracted her gaze and looked at him, saying in a calm voice, "I don't want to drink now."

"I'm so sorry." Tateno said seriously.

Time passes in the dim house, and heavy rain pours outside.

Are you going to eat lunch?

No one asked.

I'm already full from the snacks and drinks.

The rain gradually became lighter, and the streets were washed by the wind, and now dense and slanting rain lines can be seen.

But it was still heavy, still raining heavily, but the wind was not as strong and the rain was not as severe.

Rest time.

There was anime playing on TV, but no one was watching it.

Tateno and Fukasui sat on the floor and rested on the sofa.

Gu Jing was originally leaning against the sofa, but he found that lying down was really comfortable, so he just lay down on the floor and slept.

The enthusiasm and energy consumed by the game also need to be replenished.

Yuzumi You was not sleepy. He stood in front of the glass door with his hands in his pockets, looking out at the sky which was beginning to clear up.

The glass door was half open, and a moist cool breeze blew in. It wasn't strong, just refreshing, and at least it didn't mess up the room.

Kyoko Gono leaned against the glass door, one leg propped up and the other slightly bent, looking at her cell phone.

Yuzumi Yu was really afraid that the other person would be crushed by the glass door.

After all, Kyoko Gono doesn't look thin.

Most of the breasts are fat. Girls with a wide area in this area are not thin at all.

But not fat either.

She has a perfect face shape, very good body proportions, and the curves of her legs are simply a work of art - is she a little chubby?

It's the kind where wearing knee-high socks will slightly reveal the flesh on the thighs.

But she doesn't have baby fat, she is just elegant to perfection, and the joints of her hands are long and beautiful.

The boy was looking at the clearing sky, and the girl was leaning against the window, looking down at her cell phone, the two of them facing each other.

The rain was falling and the moist wind was blowing, but the sky seemed to be torn into pieces. The bright sunlight was hidden in the thick clouds, ready to burst out, and seemed to be about to break out.

The foreseeable sunlight after the rain shone through the glass into the house, illuminating a corner, illuminating the young man and girl, and casting two shadows.

The coolness of today's rain may not exist tomorrow.

What are you playing?" The boy also leaned against the glass door - leaning against it.

The glass door must be held up!

"LINE's touch animal." Kyoko Gono's fingers moved, and her cherry pink nails touched the screen, making a crisp sound.

The boy was stunned and looked over.

It's true.

This game is a connect-the-dots game launched by the LINE platform.

I didn't expect that Kyoko has been playing this all the time.

childish?

Neither do I.

It can only be said to be suitable for leisure and entertainment.

As he watched, the boy suddenly said, "Can't tomatoes be chained?"

The girl's hands moved quickly, and with a "snap", the two identical objects disappeared.

Yuzumi Yu realized something and shut up and stopped giving orders.

Giving orders...an old habit.

The boy withdrew his gaze and leaned back, with the back of his head against the glass door. He could clearly feel the sound of raindrops hitting the glass.

The weather is very quiet, the sound of rain is very quiet, and the house is very quiet.

The TV was still playing anime at a low volume, and it was very quiet.

The three people sleeping on the ground were in twisted positions, and very quietly.

Tateno and Fumizu leaned against each other, their heads almost curled up in a sleeping ball.

Souta is actually not very shameless, as can be seen from the fact that he can howl in public and loudly say the name of a teacher.

Patients with "infectious diseases".

As long as you have enough contact with him, you will gradually be infected by him.

Time is passing.

Yuzumi Yu went back and sat down on the sofa.

After a while, Kyoko Gono also came back, sat on the ground, hugged her legs and played with her mobile phone.

The boy put on headphones and started memorizing words.

The girl is playing games.

There were clearly five people in the room, but only the TV was playing anime at a low volume.

The sky gradually darkened and approached dusk. The rain stopped and the thick clouds seemed to be cracked. The sunlight penetrated the clouds and burst out like radiation.

With an orange-yellow glow, dyeing the sea of clouds red, and colorful light, the sky looks like a broken mirror.

Bright orange light shines into the house through the glass door, extending straight to the corners and walls.

"Kyoko, let me take a picture of you." The boy said after taking off his headphones.

The girl seemed to be.

Should I agree?

Yuzumi Yu raised his phone and pointed it at the girl leaning on the sofa.

The legs are curled up in front of the chest and squeezed outward.

"Kyoko, you can put your legs down." said photographer Yuzumi.

The girl looked at him, a little confused, but still put her legs down.

"good."

"Crack!"

"How is it?" Yuzumi Yu pulled up the photo and sat over, and Gono Kyoko came over to take a look.

"generally."

[Photos: 6]

No increase.

"Kyoko, friends should compliment each other, just like I complimented you as a beautiful S."

"S." The girl gave her evaluation.

[Photos: 7]

"Let's take another picture of the two of us."

As the boy spoke, he raised his phone and turned on the front camera.

Stretch forward and lift high.

On the mobile phone screen, young boys and girls are looking at the camera.

"Click."

Wearing almost identical white T-shirts, both of them had calm, even expressionless expressions. There was a distance between them, with their bodies slightly leaning towards the middle.

"S." The boy commented, looking at the photo.

"S." The girl also commented.

[Photos: 8]

When it was almost completely dark and the room was almost pitch black, Yuzumi Yu turned on the light.

The bright white light instantly made the two people who were still awake squint their eyes.

Kyoko Gono frowned and gave the boy a dissatisfied look, while Yuzumi Yu spread his hands helplessly.

He didn't know the lights in Tateno's house, so he immediately turned on the brightest white light.

The boy walked back and the girl said, "I've asked someone to bring dinner."

"Eh?" Yuzumi Yu paused, "I was thinking of calling them up to do it myself."

"Can you cook?"

"Not worth mentioning."

A few minutes later, Gu Jing, who was facing the headlights, couldn't stand it anymore and covered his eyes first, half-opening them, mumbling, "What time is it?"

He raised his head slightly and looked around.

"It's almost seven o'clock." Yuzumi Yu replied.

"Ah..." Gu Jing said, "It's so comfortable to sleep."

"Ding Dong." The doorbell rang.

The young Hanzumi looked at the girl, and Gono-san nodded.

"Hurry up and wake up Zou Tai, it's time to prepare dinner." Yuzumi Yu walked towards the door.

"Eh?" Furui Taku looked up, then turned over and looked at the boy's back as he walked towards the door.

Half an hour later.

It was completely dark.

The room was brightly lit with white lights, and everyone was sitting around the coffee table.

The rectangular coffee table was piled high with food, a steaming hot pot was rising in the middle, and two sets of serving chopsticks were placed on the left and right sides.

"Cool weather goes perfectly with hot pot," said the future Prime Minister Yuzumi.

The glass door was open, and a cool breeze blew in at night after the rain, dispersing the heat brought by the hot pot.

"Thank you, Mr. Gono." Everyone clapped their hands.

"I'm starting." Yuzumi Yu took the lead and picked up the serving chopsticks.

He scooped out the cooked beef slices and placed them in the bowl of a girl beside him. "Thank you, Gono-san."

Kyoko Gono glanced at him indifferently.

A blank expression is the normal state of this elegant girl.

The TV was still playing anime.

It's just that no one has watched it, and no one knows which episode it is at.

After picking up the dishes and putting back the serving chopsticks, Yuzumi Yu picked up the bowl and blew on the hot tofu.

He loves to eat this kind of soft and sticky food.

While eating hot pot, the three boys were chatting, and the other two girls were more like foils.

But in fact, it's more about not being familiar with each other.

Miss Gono doesn't talk, but that doesn't mean she's reserved. She does whatever she wants. On the other hand, Miss Fumizu on the opposite side is a little reserved.

But as the topic continued to bring her up, she gradually relaxed because Yuzumi Yu and Furui Taku were really friendly.

Unlike at school, Yuzumi Yu had a cold and expressionless face.

Not to mention the sunny boy, he is very sunny.

As for whether to bring Kyoko into the topic...there is absolutely no need to do so. When she wants to speak, she will interrupt abruptly.

For example--

The sunny boy strayed and mentioned "Rina".

Tateno subconsciously replied - for Rina!

Kyoko looked over immediately and asked, "Who is Rina?"

"It's not important." Yuzumi Yu said expressionlessly.

But Shen Shui couldn't ask this question, he just subconsciously glanced at Tateno who suddenly shouted.

"Who is Rina?" Kyoko Gono looked at the remaining two boys with an expressionless face and a strong sense of oppression.

Didn't even dare to exchange glances.

"It's an idol." Tateno.

"She works really hard." Sunshine.

"Work as hard as I do." Yuzumi Yu picked up some food and put it into Kyoko's bowl.

It's better not to talk about popular idols in front of girls.

The amount of food on the table is decreasing.

After eating, Shenshui classmate knelt down to look at his mobile phone, while Wuye classmate also sat sideways to play with his mobile phone.

The remaining three people cleaned up the mess and fished out the almost empty hot pot.

The anime playing on TV has been replaced by music.

Everyone chatted to the rhythm of the music.

"Hey, Gu Jing, the sauce you made is really disgusting."

"I think so too."

"Tastes are different, please don't hurt."

Dinner is coming to an end.

The three of them raised their glasses and the two girls were forced to join in.

"Come on, for Todai."

"Todai? That's really passionate."

"For Todai!"

"I actually want to go to Kyoto University..."

Tateno said seriously, "Fukamizu-san, please do this for Todai."

"For, for Todai."

The Gono girl said nothing.

"Ding ding ding."

The bottom of the cup hit the edge of the hot pot.

Finally, with a "bang", the four cups collided crisply.

Wu Ye had already withdrawn her hand and started drinking. She was looking down at her cell phone on the table.

A spoiler? No, just like when Shen Shui suddenly showed up, no one would feel the fun was spoiled.

"I'll drink it!" Furui Taku drank the soda in one gulp and turned the cup upside down in the air.

"You bastard."

The song "The Old Man and the Sea" was playing on TV.

[Going further and further]

[We free the soul from the body]

[Going further]

[Going through the clouds to the other side]

[Riding the Wind]

[Get rid of the gravity of my imagination]

[Going further and further]

[Towards the sea]

After dinner, we all cleaned up together.

Of course, as the host and the eldest lady, Gono-san will naturally not participate.

Take a few bags and put the garbage in the corner, and take it downstairs later.

Two girls were sitting in the living room looking at their phones, while three boys were standing on the balcony enjoying the night breeze.

The windowsill was wet and full of water.

"It's really lively today." The young man from Gujing sighed.

really.

In the past, we always had gatherings of three people, but today there were two more. Although those two didn't talk much, it was always more lively with more people.

The main thing is that everyone is familiar with each other.

There are five people, four of whom are classmates.

Perhaps the ancient well is more like an "outsider".

But he is a sunny boy, and it was basically the three of them chatting, so they had the home advantage.

The wind was blowing, and the three of them were silent.

The friendship that had developed from playing together in high school would not fade even if Furui Taku was not in the same class with them.

Will it continue?

have no idea.

Most people are just passers-by in life, and the person who can accompany you for a long time can only be determined in the future.

Perhaps one day in the future, the three of them will feel that today is just an ordinary day. Or perhaps one day in the future, when they look back, they will sigh that the friendship of youth is so plain but beautiful.

But the young people who are in their youth now will not worry about such things.

For them, who are just freshmen, graduation is still a long way off.

After resting for a while, everyone went out and downstairs together.

The semi-open corridor was covered in rainwater. Several people stepped on it, leaving behind stains that gradually melted away.

All the way downstairs.

Yuzumi Yu and Furui Taku went to get the car.

"Thank you for the hospitality."

"Be careful on the road."

Li Ye and Shen Shui were standing downstairs. Gu Jing got on his bike, waved, and rode away like the wind.

Yuzumi Yu pushed his bicycle and walked away along the edge of the street with the tall Kyoko.

As for whether Fukamizu ended up living in the Tateno family, no one asked.

The street lights illuminated the rain on the ground, and the electric poles were covered with winding water stains. Water droplets slowly condensed on the wires, and only dripped down when the boy and girl walked by and were far away.

"Let me help you push it." The girl suddenly said.

Yuzumi Yu was stunned for a moment, but let Gono-san, who had already gone around to the other side, take it over.

Push the cart and take a run.

"Kyoko is really powerful," the boy exclaimed.

But as the girl walked further and further away without stopping, he began to realize that something was wrong.

"Hey, Kyoko!" He quickened his pace. "Slow down!"

The girl from Gono didn't look back, leaving behind only her back with flowing long hair pushing the cart.

The boy ran up.

The girl got on the bike.

"Hello!"

The car swayed back and forth like a baby who had just learned to walk, wandering back and forth between the edge and the middle of the street.

Fortunately, it was a rainy night and the place was a bit remote, so there were no cars on the road.

"Slower!"

The boy chased after him.

The girl stepped faster.

The boy slowed down.

The girl slowed down her pedaling.

Gradually, the car stopped shaking and began to stabilize.

It seems that Gono-san has regained his former strength.

The boy trotted after him and suddenly shouted, "Turn right ahead!"

Kyoko was very obedient and actually turned right.

"Go straight!"

Go straight.

"right."

"left."

Finally, there is a long uphill climb.

The boy trotted to catch up with the girl.

"Kyoko, it's too slow."

The road is very narrow, only allowing one car to pass through, with single-family houses and apartments on both sides.

There are many slopes in Tokyo, but this slope is long enough, so long that the girl was caught up even though she was panting and pedaling her bicycle with great effort.

In fact, it is very easy for Yuzumi Yu to catch up with the other party, but he is afraid that Kyoko is riding too fast, so it is no problem to use the slope to slightly limit the other party's speed!

The girl suddenly braked.

The boy stopped and looked back.

The five-year-old girl started to turn around, and he hurried forward to grab the frame of the rear wheel.

Finally, he grabbed the girl. Maybe she was really tired, because Yuzumi You specifically chose the place with many uphill slopes to show her the way.

He turned into a young boy again, pushing a cart along the roadside.

"Give me a ride." said the girl.

"If you get caught, you'll be fined."

Yes.

Mihong's bicycles are not allowed to carry passengers, except in special circumstances - like the "mom car", a bicycle designed specifically for carrying children.

But Gono-san, you don't look like a child at all, do you?

"I'll pay for it." Kyoko said generously.

If you are caught carrying passengers, you will usually be fined less than 20,000 yen.

It's not a small amount.

"It's too dangerous at night." The boy refused.

"hurry up!"

"no."

"I'll pay the fine."

"No."

The Gono girl kicked, but the boy dodged, and the two of them circled around the bicycle.

"I kicked your car!"

"Please don't do that."

The girl reached out to grab him, but there was a bicycle between them, and the boy managed to avoid it while holding on to the bicycle.

Just like the free fighting in Southeast Asia, the control of distance is perfect. Although the two people seem very close, there is always a bicycle between them and they cannot catch the boy.

"Bang!"

The car was kicked.

"Kyoko!"

"hurry up!"

Although the boy is very powerful, the car is an inanimate object.

It's like a dead system.

Reluctantly, he gave the girl a ride and the two of them drove along the street, splashing up the puddles, the bicycle headlights illuminating the way ahead.

On the night after the rain, the air was fresh. Although the car was not driving fast, the wind still blew past the ears, lifting the girl's long hair that was almost to her hips.

"Kyoko, don't let your hair get caught in it." Although Yuzumi Yu was paying attention all the time, he still reminded her.

"Got it. Hurry up."

"It's already pretty fast."

"Too slow! Can you do it? If not, I'll do it."

"…I can do it."

The speed gradually increased.

Going downhill, facing the wind, the girl sat sideways on the back seat, holding the boy's lower waist.

"Faster!" Wu Ye urged.

"You'll fall."

"Can you do it?"

"…I can do it."

I don't know how long I rode, but Yuzumi You tried to ride on remote roads where there were no sidewalks, only low houses or apartments on both sides.

Gono-san's raincoat was wrapped in a bag and placed in Yuzumi Yu's bag, which was then carried on the boy's chest.

In the quiet night, only the girl occasionally let out excited shouts.

Gono-san is really... two extremes.

Either he has a blank expression or he is as happy as a child.

Never mind, she's just a child.

I circled around the Yotsuya area again and again; from Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden to Ueno Park, and then back again.

Finally, we parted again at the same intersection where we parted last time after fishing.

"Today is very interesting." The girl from Gono gave an elegant smile.

The boy took out the raincoat bag from the bag on his chest and handed it to the other person.

Is it interesting?

It doesn't mean anything.

Gatherings and the like are just occasional daily activities for the three teenagers.

It seems that Kyoko really needs a friend.

The two separated.

Kyoko Gono got into the car that came to pick her up and sat in the back seat with the window up.

The car started, the boy's figure appeared outside the window, and when he looked back, he missed the girl's elegant and perfect profile.

...

Sunday is Yuzumi Yu's own time.

Study, listen to music, read books, take photos.

He took out Tomoya Hanzumi's camera from home, learned how to use it briefly, and then went out.

Take the train to Shibuya and look for someone on Center Street.

Actually, there is no standard. Just ask if you think the other party will agree.

After taking the photo and showing it to the other party, you will basically get praise.

The number of valid photos is accumulating.

The weekend passed quickly and it was Monday again.

This week's plan to conquer the world is – conquering the world starts with conquering photography!

Naturally, Yuzumi Yuu did not participate in democratic voting.

Those three guys didn't take club activities seriously at all, so he decided to take back the minister's power.

"Isn't photography an activity of the photography club?" Kusaka asked.

"There's no conflict," explained Mr. Yuzumi, "because our club activities won't always be photography."

Kusaka Haruna nodded gently.

The four of them sat in a circle at the table, still in the same positions as last week.

"So we're going out for street photography this week?" Marumori Rui was still wearing a sun hat.

Gono-san supported his face with his right hand and placed his other hand on the table, facing the boy.

"No rush." Yuzumi Yu said calmly, "Let me take a few photos of you first, so you can see the photography skills of the Director of the World Conquest Preparation Department."

He has a very good learning ability and he is very talented!

Through more than half a day of street photography on the weekend, combined with online tutorials, I can now take photos with a very atmospheric feel.

You will definitely get compliments.

"Let's start with Kyoko."

The girl leaned back in front of the windowsill. The window was open and the warm wind blew in, causing her hair to spread slightly behind her.

The blue sky and white clouds are just embellishments.

The clear sky is not as beautiful as an expressionless girl.

The remaining two people sat in their seats.

One of them was looking at this side with a faint smile, and the other was reading quietly.

"Crack!"

"S." Kyoko said as before.

Glancing at the system.

No increase.

It seems that it will not be reset. Once you take a photo, it will not be counted anymore.

"Marumori-san, please get ready."

"good."

Marumori Ryui is the shortest among the group, and she feels noticeably shorter when standing in front of the windowsill.

In fact, it would feel great if you let the other person sit on the ground, sideways, with their legs crossed and slightly bent.

Like a seductive fairy.

Such as Daji.

But... no need.

"Crack!"

The fox eyes with lavender eyeshadow are very charming and enchanting. She stares at the camera with a smile, and her perfect lips have a hint of crystal luster.

The blue sky and white clouds are still the embellishment.

Looking at the photo, Yuzumi boy couldn't help but sigh, this guy is really a fairy... just one look is enough to make people excited.

He suffered this loss that day at sea.

"Please give me your comments, Marumori-san." He walked over and showed the camera to the other party.

At Mihong, it is rude to make random comments about others.

"It looks very nice." The girl chuckled.

I don't know if she was saying that the people in the film were good-looking or that the film was beautifully shot.

Take a look at the system.

The number of valid photos has increased.

"Thank you." The boy looked at the girl who was quietly reading. "Kusaka-san, please get ready."

The elegant Kusaka Haruna.

Completely different from the previous two.

Gono-san is as elegant as a work of art. When she stands there, everything becomes an embellishment.

Marumori-san is charming and fairy-like, which seems out of place in this peaceful environment, but she still adds an embellishment.

Kusaka-san is different.

She has a quiet and scholarly air and a gentle temperament, like a god who can embrace everything, and everything around her is like her people.

Well...this metaphor is not very good, but it is very vivid.

Kusaka Haruna seemed to fit in perfectly, in the quiet club activity classroom in the afternoon, in the clear afternoon sunshine, and in the bright sky.

Blue sky and white clouds.

She stood there with her hands clasped naturally in front of her body, under her abdomen. She wore a white shirt, a bow tie, a gray school skirt, and long white socks.

Her long hair swayed gently, with a few strands of hair blown out by the wind.

It perfectly fits the image of the white moonlight in boys' hearts.

To this.

Yuzumi Yuu expressed his praise.

No other ideas.

Just like that time in the bookstore, even though the girl was soaked and her clothes were sticking to her creamy skin, it still made people unable to have any other thoughts.

I can only feel the peace in my heart.

She just has that kind of magic.

With...divine radiance.

"Crack!"

The elegant girl was photographed.

"Please give me your comments, Kusaka-san." Yuzumi Yu walked over and placed the camera in front of the other person.

"Hazumi-san has good photography skills." This is the evaluation from the girl.

This is much clearer than Marumori Rui.

Yes, his photography skills are that good, maybe he will become a rising star in the photography world?

Is it interesting to be a photographer?

Apart from being able to take pictures of beautiful girls, it doesn't seem to be very interesting.

"Kusaka-san, Marumori-san, please take a photo together." Continue the arrangement and combination.

Marumori Ryoui raised an eyebrow, seeming surprised by the boy's request.

Kusaka Haruna glanced at the boy, pondered for a second, then lowered her eyebrows and smiled.

Neither of them refused.

The photo taken in front of the windowsill looked like a photo between two ordinary classmates, not friends.

"Crack!"

"How is it?" the boy asked.

"nice."

"Still good."

The cumulative number of photos is increasing.

Next, Director Yuzumi took photos with each member individually.

"I'll develop the photos and make a photo wall with our pictures on it," he said.

"Is this also part of conquering the world?" Marumori girl chuckled and applauded.

"I'm just recording." Yuzumi Yuu said seriously, "Let everyone know that this club has serious business to do."

"Like photography?"

"That's right."

During the process of permuting and combining, Yuzumi Yu tried all the other combinations except letting Gono and Kusaka take photos alone.

The final group photo.

Yuzumi Yu took out the folding stand from his bag, then set the timer and ran back to the windowsill.

Everyone in the World Conquest Preparation Department was standing at the window.

Our first group photo.

From left to right - Yuu Hazumi, Kyoko Gono, Rui Marumori, Haruna Kusaka.

The minister doesn't even have a C position!

After filming Yuzumi Yu, I felt something was wrong.

Then adjust the position and shoot again.

The excuse is: it wasn't filmed well.

From left to right - Kyoko Gono, Yuu Hazumi, Rui Marumori, Haruna Kusaka.

very good.

The Gono girl crossed her arms, her face expressionless.

The young man Yuzumi put his hands in his pockets, his face expressionless, and forced a relatively natural smile.

After all, it's the first time we take a photo together, so it can't be so dull.

Marumori Ryui was wearing a sun hat, her cold white skin flushed slightly. She held her cheeks with both hands, leaned slightly towards the boy, and smiled coquettishly.

Kusaka Haruna clasped her hands naturally below her abdomen, her face gentle and calm.

The sky outside the window is bright and the white clouds are floating.

The room is bright and is a very ordinary club activity classroom.

It was an afternoon in late May.

Classroom 311 in the Society Building.

For this week's club activities, Headmaster Yuzumi asked everyone to bring out a photo that they thought was the best they had taken on Friday.

Take club activities seriously, at least during club time.

——This is what Yuzumi Yu demands of himself.

It's just that some of the young ladies don't seem to have such awareness.

Maybe it's because I didn't bring a camera.

Speaking of which… He opened Line and said, "I created a community group, everyone please join. I will notify the group if there is anything in the future."

Four people group, created successfully.

Marumori Rui's line was also added, but of course, this is not important.

The club activities ended.

The miscellaneous fish dispersed.

Yuzumi Yuuma, who finally stayed behind to lock the door, felt that this was a small and useless club that did not do any serious work.

Everyone has different goals and everyone does different things.

The reason why he came to the club every day was... he didn't know either.

Kyoko came with him to find something interesting to do.

Kusaka Haruna wanted to see how he would repair her relationship with Kyoko...right?

Marumori Ryui... This guy, although he didn't want to admit it because the system would prompt him as a beautiful S, he still wanted to say it.

That guy wouldn't be coming for him, would he?

As the founder, director and vice director of the club, his goal is to bring Kusaka and Gono together.

What else can we do?

I don't know the reason for the breakup, but the idea is to get together and slowly get some information.

Let the two of them touch each other again...try to touch each other again, that's also a point.

It's okay to hate it, but not reject it.

But he would not force the two to have contact, like taking photos. Except for Gono and Kusaka, he tried other combinations.

When repairing a relationship, take your time; rushing it will backfire.

Well, it turns out to be a small-time club with no clear purpose.

Off-campus learning begins on Tuesday.

Tokyo, the central city of Mihong, has a science and technology museum that displays many cutting-edge technologies, some of which are actually quite interesting.

For example, Geo-Cosmos, a spherical display with a diameter of 6 meters, displays the Earth's meteorological satellite images in real time, allowing users to intuitively experience changes in the Earth's environment.

There are also VR simulation, artificial intelligence, etc.

But, no matter how interesting it is, it is still boring for the girl from Gono.

Maybe she has played with things that are more advanced and cutting-edge than these.

Hard to say.

Friday.

Yuzumi Yu went to the club activity classroom at noon.

Last night, Marumori Ryui sent him a message saying that she would decorate the classroom at noon today.

The money came from the club's funds, she said.

But...why was the money spent before it even reached him?

He is the minister.

The door of classroom 311 was open, and Yuzumi Yu was standing at the door, looking inside.

White wallpaper, brown carpet, and a shoe cabinet on the left side of the door. Do you have to take off your shoes when you enter?

That was a good idea... He meant it would help keep the classroom floor clean.

Inside, on the right side, in the corner by the window, the chair was replaced with a comfortable leather chair - Marumori Ryu was listening to his opinions carefully.

The original four tables in the middle were replaced with an L-shaped sofa, with a coffee table in front of the sofa and a large-screen TV hanging on the opposite wall.

"…"

No, wait a minute.

Does the club have so much funding?

Air conditioning was also installed overhead in the ministers' chairs.

"…"

A bit dangerous.

There's a bookcase next to the TV, and a cabinet with a glass window on the other side. What are they used for? Are they used to store DVDs?

And one more important point is that the TV is on the left wall, and on the rightmost wall, there is a white writing board, which is very large and almost takes up the entire wall.

very good.

It's just right for posting photos.

But he still wanted to ask a question.

Is there so much funding for club activities?

Marumori Ryui sat on the sofa, adjusting the TV with the remote control, and the air conditioner was blowing, bringing a comfortable cool breeze.

He took off his shoes at the door and walked in.

Sitting on the sofa, he said, "Is this the result of the renovation?"

"How is it?" Marumori girl was adjusting the TV.

"The decoration is too good." The boy said, "Does our club really have enough funds for activities?"

"One month isn't enough, two months, three months."

"…" Can I still get an advance?

He is indeed the true student union president.

But, he is the minister, right?

The money is gone before it even passed through his hands?

"Pre-consumption is not good." Yuzumi Yu said seriously.

"Not really." The girl chuckled and looked over. "Of course, the event funds can't be advanced. I'll just cover the excess."

"So our club will have no funding from now on?"

"Yes, I just want to pay back my debt." Marumori Ryoui's fox eyes were very charming.

Why do you owe money again?

I finally paid off one debt, but now I owe another one.

There is no way around it. Resources are always scarce in the early stages, and even the future Prime Minister Yuzumi cannot avoid it.

In the afternoon, club time.

The other two walked in and were slightly surprised.

Obviously this is a huge change that happened so suddenly.

From an ordinary classroom to an exquisitely decorated reception room?

It really looks a bit like that.

Kusaka Haruna fixed her eyes on the bookcase filled with books. She walked over and stood in front of it. Her slender index finger ran across the sides of each book, and then she pulled one out.

Just open it quietly and read it while standing there.

Kyoko Gono naturally sat in the middle of the sofa and turned on the TV.

The young man put his hands in his pockets, looked at the two people's actions, and lowered his brows in thought.

The wind at the end of May blew in, lifting a corner of the curtain, and this activity classroom finally had curtains.

Soon, Marumori Rui, who was always the last one to arrive, arrived.

Everyone sat on the L-shaped sofa.

Yuzumi Yu sat on the side, and three girls lined up in a row: Gono, Marumori, and Kusaka.

Everyone puts the best photos they think they took this week on the table.

Kusaka Haruna's study is at night, with a yellowish light on and books on the table.

Well...it's the study room of Kusaka-kun's house.

Good angle, good atmosphere, very artistic conception.

Marumori Rui's photo was taken at the seaside, in the afternoon, with the beach, sea water, and sunset.

——The place where the two of them swam last time.

The boy subconsciously raised his eyes to look at the other person, and the girl also looked at him with a smile. When their eyes met, someone calmly looked away.

Kyoko Gono's is a selfie...hiss, wait.

He glanced at Kyoko, who had a blank expression on her face.

Isn't this the photo I took for you at the party this weekend?

He later sent it to the other party via Line, but he didn't expect that the other party could only wash it out and use it here.

"..." In the end, the boy chose to remain silent.

Forget it, let her go.

After all, club activities are not important.

Yuzumi Yu flipped through his own photo.

This is a photo of the four of us standing in front of the window a few days ago.

Pressing everyone's photos onto the white writing board with a magnet, Yuzumi Yu looked at the blank board.

After a moment, he picked up a pen and wrote in the middle - Conquering the world starts with conquering photography.

Will wipe it off and replace it with a new one next week.

Weekend, June arrives.

Early in the morning, Yuzumi Yu got up.

Senior sister, please use your luck on me.

grateful.

In the new month, Yuzumi Yu was trimming his long hair in front of the mirror.

He held the scissors in his left and right hands alternately, clicking and scissoring smoothly.

Cut the forehead short, trim the sideburns, and trim the back.

For some places, you can't see them and just rely on your feeling.

After the grooming, the beautiful boy looked cleaner.

"Even though I just had my hair cut, there doesn't seem to be any awkwardness." The boy looked at himself in the mirror.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether it's an awkward period or not, he himself doesn't really care about his appearance.

After all, beauty is just the least noteworthy of his many advantages.

I made an appointment with my senior sister on the phone last night.

Meeting point, Yotsuya Station.

It's Yotsuya Station again.

But this time shouldn't be like last time, where we're left like a headless fly.

After all, the senior hates flies - you can tell from the look in her eyes when we first met.

Although he shouldn't have to spend his own money when going out, Yuu Yuu still asked Tomoya Yuu for some activity funds.

Only when you have some money in your pocket can you feel safe.

It was almost noon, and Yuzumi Yu, who had been studying all morning, changed his clothes and went out.

Still a white T-shirt, dark trousers, and sneakers.

Just do whatever makes you feel comfortable.

It's not some special occasion, like for special occasions, he would wear some special clothes, such as ninja clothes.

Another example is a suit.

I walked to Yotsuya Station and bought a can of soda on the way.

The weather is clear today, and the white clouds are spread across the sky like torn cotton.

In front of Yotsuya Station, Yuzumi Yu met Ikema-senpai.

She has a bun hairstyle and wears a white short-sleeved sweater with a diamond-patterned texture and is embellished with small beads, which is simple and exquisite.

Carrying a light beige handbag.

High-waisted black pleated skirt, revealing two-thirds of the thigh.

Her long legs were white and looked very soft, straight and with beautiful lines, and she was wearing white thick-soled high-heeled sandals.

The snow-white and delicate instep and the round and smooth toes are as exquisite as the makeup on the senior sister's face.

The senior sister who doesn't wear white socks...seems to be more beautiful?

Look away.

Yuzumi Yuu was lost in thought.

Are all beautiful girls' feet so beautiful?

I haven't seen enough so far to draw any conclusions, but it seems like this could be a topic?

No...what is he thinking?

Disgusting Tateno.

Senior Ikema also saw him, her charming peach blossom eyes curved slightly, and she walked over, her cold expression softening.

The light pink eye makeup really makes the eyes as bright as peach blossoms.

The two greeted each other, and the senior asked, "Is there anywhere you'd like to go, Hanzumi-kun?"

Not at this time.

"Senior sister, you decide." He came out just to borrow her hand.

"Then let's go to Shibuya, what do you think, Yuzumi-kun?"

"No problem at all." He came out to...

Enter the station and wait for the train to Shinjuku on the JR Chuo Line platform. After transferring to Shinjuku Station, find the JR Yamanote Line platform and take the Outer Loop Line train from Tokyo to Shibuya.

It was not peak hour and the tram was not crowded.

The two found a seat.

After pondering and hesitating, he finally said, "Senior, can you lend me your hand?"

"Huh?" Ikema Maki looked a little surprised. After all, this request was a bit weird.

Lend me a hand...

"Is it okay, senior?" The boy looked at her sincerely.

"Yes, sure." Why is the senior sister stuttering again?

"Thank you so much."

Taking the hand extended by the senior, Yuzumi Yu called up the system's lottery panel.

To be honest, the senior sister's hands are still very soft. Although calluses are left from years of bow drawing, it does not affect the touch and appearance at all.

He actually had a lot of calluses, but because he had not practiced martial arts regularly for many years, they had gradually faded away.

There are still traces, but they are not obvious and can hardly be seen without careful observation.

Although it was a bit strange to draw a lottery on the tram, no one knew what he was doing.

Whoever guesses it will get it... ahem.

"Please lend me some luck, Senior."

Taking the senior's hand and holding her index finger, Ikema cooperated very well, although he didn't know what he was going to do.

Press the lottery interface in front of you!

Wait, it's definitely a special ability, yes.

Press!

[Evolution: 3400-3300]

[Special ability extraction...]

"Teleport, please."

The chances were actually very slim, and he didn't know how many special abilities he had.

[Gain special ability - instant]

'! ! !'

This name, could it be...

[Instant Level 1 - Activate at will, can randomly appear anywhere within a 3-meter radius. When blindfolded, the radius can be increased by 10 times. Cooldown 60s]

It really is teleportation!

I'm moved to tears.

The name of the teleportation ability is originally called "Shun".

It sounds so beautiful, even better than the counselor suddenly announcing a week-long holiday on Monday.

Ikema-senpai, I love you so much!

You are the luckiest person I have ever met.

He restrained himself from hugging and kissing the other person and gathered his thoughts.

But, take a closer look at this ability description. Wait, random?

random?

"What should I do if I get stuck in the wall?"

This is a very serious issue.

[Body: A (9th Life Cat Owner: 9-8)]

'...'

Worth serious attention.

The evaluation of this level 1 instant is - useless.

Better not have it.

But if there really isn't one... then there must be one.

So, Yuzumi Yu chooses to upgrade!

[Evolution: 3300-2300]

It only takes 100 evolution degrees to extract, and 1000 to reach level 2.

[Instant Level 2 - Can appear anywhere within a 10-meter radius. When blindfolded, the radius can be increased 10 times. Cooldown 60s]

Looking at the introduction, Yuzumi Yu felt like the system was forcing him to upgrade.

Although the cooldown of level 1 and level 2 has not changed, they are completely different. The former cannot be used at all, and there is a 50% chance of entering the underground.

The latter is perfectly usable and very powerful.

Um?

"System, speak."

[...]

Forget it, the system is dead.

Currently reaching level 2 instantly is the limit, and level 3 requires 10,000 evolution degrees.

Open the panel.

[Name: Hazumi Yu]

Age: 18

[Gender: Male]

[Evolution: 2300]

[Mood: 1761 (Minako Hashimoto, Kyoko Gono, Maki Ikema, Haruna Kusaka, Rie Marumori)]

[Germany: C]

Intelligence: B (Thinking, Memory)

[Body: A (9th Life Cat Owner: 9)]

[US: S]

[Wu:MAX]

[Ability (General): None]

[Abilities (Special): Finger Gun Level 1, Master Level 2, Instant Level 2]

Level 2 instant.

It seems a little hard to calm down.

After all, teleportation is really cool! Moreover, teleportation is the second fantasy of many people in their childhood.

Yuzumi Yu really wants to experiment with his new ability right now.

Experience the feeling of disappearing in an instant and appearing again in an instant.

Like a ghost...

Open the introduction of level 2 Shun again.

The more I look at it, the more satisfied I am.

As for the blindfolded Wu MAX boy who has a cat owner, he said he doesn't care.

He has not yet driven the cat owner's characteristic of maximum power.

With super strong perception and comprehensive improvement, he will not become blind even if he is blindfolded.

But he didn't know how strong he was or how much he could do when blindfolded.

As I was thinking, the tram arrived at the station.

The two stood up and prepared to get off the car. At this time, Yuzumi Yu realized that he seemed to have been holding the senior's hand.

...clear memories came flooding back.

I clenched it tightly with one hand, and kneaded it unconsciously after being distracted... After all, it felt really good.

The senior sister's hands are very soft.

Looking over, I saw that the senior's face was also red.

Pull your hand back and apologize?

So why do we need to borrow someone else's help before doing this?

His behavior is very strange, never mind, he is a strange person.

Pulling the senior out of the train, Ikema was wearing high heels. She was not short to begin with, and now she was almost as tall as the boy.

Of course, in order to ease the embarrassment, on the platform, Yuzumi Yu spread out the senior's hands and said solemnly: "Senior is very hardworking, and the calluses on your hands are the best proof."

Hearing this, Ikema subconsciously pulled his hand away, but didn't pull it out.

"Senior sister, this is not a shortcoming, it is an advantage." The young man gave affirmation, clenched his hands, and pulled her out of the station.

Just like the two bright red spots on the senior sister's knees, they only make people excited.

Things seem to be going off track.

Forget it, never mind.

If he had pulled Kyoko Gono or Haruna Kusaka, Yuzumi Yu might have felt a little apologetic, but when he pulled Ikema-senpai, um... why did it feel a little natural?

Although I regard her as a senior, there is still trace of that little girl in my heart.

The relationship is actually not awkward.

The senior student had no opinion at all and was just led out of the station.

Shibuya, the heart of commerce and entertainment.

There are tall buildings, many pedestrians, and colorful billboards here. Like the Yotsuya side, the city and countryside are visible to the naked eye. Although it is in Tokyo, Yuzumi Yu has not been here many times.

"Hazumi-kun, let's go have lunch first." said the senior who was being pulled.

"No problem at all."

My senior found a restaurant that looked very high-end.

The two of them must be in a very expensive private room. Through the window, they can see the bustling street below.

The dishes came out quickly and still looked expensive.

Yuzumi Yu suddenly felt that it was really unfair to let a young lady accompany him on the train.

As the two of them ate sushi and sashimi, the boy asked, "Senior, what's the matter with you calling me out today?"

Having successfully extracted the "Instant", he wanted to go back and play around with this new ability.

Maki Ikema paused while holding the salt-grilled saury. She then said, "Hazumi-kun, I want to date you."

"puff!"

"Ahem."

Yuzumi Yu was choked again.

The senior student stood up, walked over to support him, patted him, and asked with concern: "Why did you choke suddenly?"

Is there any need to ask?

Senior sister, do you always speak so bluntly?

Ikema didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said.

After constant pondering, she finally came up with a very correct answer.

How can I stop being a passer-by in Yuzumi Yu's life? It's very simple, just become his wife!

Correct, perfect, ideal.

It's that simple.

"Senior, are you serious?" Yuzumi Yu pulled the paper over and wiped his mouth.

"I meant every word I said."

"Why?" asked the boy.

Why do you suddenly want to date? Why do you choose him? I asked this question as a junior.

"Hazumi-kun, you're very handsome."

Another girl who is bewitched by beauty.

But...the senior sister's attitude was a bit perfunctory.

"Would you date someone based solely on appearance?" This is very offensive.

"It's comfortable to be with you."

"Is that all?"

"I don't want to be a passerby."

"…"Don't do that.

The senior sister's words had a bit of an obvious meaning.

Maybe he forced me to do that?

Maybe she didn't want him to think she was a casual girl.

When she was a child, she met someone so amazing that even though she almost forgot him, the palpitations in her heart still remained. When they met again, the same scene, the same first encounter, the palpitations helped her find him.

Ikema wasn't sure what such an emotion was.

One day, she asked her mother.

It was an afternoon when the two of them were drinking tea. She said, "Mom, when I think of someone in my mind and stay with him, I feel very comfortable. What kind of feeling is this?"

The lady smiled faintly, her words strong yet gentle - Maki, don't let regrets remain in your heart, princess of the Ikema family, there is no need for regrets in your life.

"Mother, do you have any regrets?" she asked.

"I didn't," he replied with a smile.

After thinking, she came.

She didn't want to be a passerby and didn't want to experience the regrets of her childhood again.

Although he didn't investigate Yuzumi Yu, it was obvious from his appearance that he hadn't dated a girl yet, so Ikema was ready to seize the opportunity.

My brother is not a fickle person!

What if we keep our distance from each other after we get together? What else can she do?

So, she has to get along with her brother first.

"Senior, this is too sudden." The boy's calm words sounded like an emotionless robot.

Ikema walked back, and Yuzumi Yu thought she had given up, but unexpectedly she took out a sketchbook from her handbag.

He walked back and bent over the edge of the table to start drawing.

"…" Why did you suddenly start drawing?

The boy remained silent and did not disturb the 'great artist' senior.

A clever and soulful painting comes to life on the paper. It should be the afternoon in the living room, and the little girl is drawing on the table.

The senior student drew a scene of a little girl drawing.

Maki Ikema pushed the notebook to him and put the pen on the table. Her peach blossom eyes seemed to be moist as she stared at him.

"…"

He knew she recognized him.

He also knew that she chose not to reveal her hand.

But there is a deadlock - if she doesn't reveal her cards, she will be just a casual girl; and revealing her cards goes against Yuzumi Yu's idea.

So Ikema chose to compromise, not saying it directly, but letting Yuzumi Yu know.

But, there is actually a better way.

It's about gradually getting to know each other, deepening the relationship, and finally things will come naturally.

The senior sister is very anxious and impatient. It seems that she has always been like this.

How did she practice Kyudo's calmness, concentration, and focus on the process rather than the result?

Who is her Kyudo teacher?

Yuzumi Yu chose to continue pretending to be confused.

The young man is not unaware of some words and some customs, but he tries to avoid them as much as possible.

"Senior sister's painting skills are very high." The boy admired the painting and gave a presumptuous comment.

"It seems like there's still something missing. Could you help me add some to it, Yuzumi-kun?" The senior was looking at him.

The boy didn't say anything.

Look at the paintings.

Should I continue the scene of companionship today and let the companionship continue to be frozen, or continue to deny it.

In fact, this does not violate the idea of letting bygones be bygones.

Past experiences gave the two the opportunity to meet in Senbazuru, but it was just an opportunity. The senior wanted this opportunity, but she didn't want Yuzumi Yu to treat her as a little girl.

So she pointed at the boy but didn't say anything.

She was very anxious. She wanted to take a shortcut to greatly improve their relationship. Perhaps it was also related to the boy's indifference.

Yuzumi Yu made a choice.

He picked up a pen.

The senior student's eyes lit up, full of anticipation.

When the tip of the boy's pen was about to touch the paper, he paused for a moment and made a big tick.

Can't you still get rid of the identity of a professional reviewer?

I have clearly decided to stop making rash comments about others, but I still made some rash comments today.

"The full score is 100, I'll take the liberty to give you 99 points," the boy said, writing 99 in the upper right corner.

"The remaining one point is because I'm not professional enough." He pondered for a moment, then added, "As a viewer, this lifelike painting actually deserves full marks."

It is said that eyes are the windows to the soul.

The boy's eyes were so indifferent and cold that it made people think that the window was closed.

Her eyes flickered, and Ikema Maki suddenly asked, "How many points would you give me for my archery, Yuzumi-kun?"

Paused.

The boy's voice sounded.

"Out of 100, I'd like to give it 99."

"The other point is because I wasn't professional enough."

My brother is so cold.

Ikema Maki didn't know how to make Yuzumi Yu less cold.

She actually couldn't understand now why her brother saved her in the first place. Was it really as he said, that he was just a kind-hearted person passing by?

There are clouds floating in the sky and traffic is bustling downstairs.

The downtown area is as prosperous as before.

Ikema Maki didn't say anything else. She just put away her notebook and sat back in her seat, mumbling an apology: "I'm sorry for being so presumptuous."

Yuzumi Yu sighed inwardly.

So what if I recognized him?

Ikejian wasn't as smart as the lady, but at least that woman was very clear-minded. Maybe she was really attracted to him in the end and that's why she avoided him, or maybe she just realized that he wouldn't be a threat so there was no need to test him anymore.

But it is undeniable that no matter which one it is, it is a smart choice.

Looking into his heart, he actually cares about very few people: family, friends, Minako, and that's it.

Needless to say, family members are involved. Furui and Tateno have been friends for over three years, and Minako grew up together...family?

It should be.

If it were love, they would have been together a long time ago.

It would be weird to date Minako, since he always treated her as a younger sister.

Many things and many words should be understood without being stated explicitly.

People always like to fantasize about beauty, but they always worry about the worst, which leads to mental exhaustion.

This is the current state of Ikema-senpai.

In fact, the relationship between the two is not that strange. Subconsciously, they are not strangers.

But...the senior student didn't understand.

Maybe so. After all, those who are involved are often confused. When some things happen to them, they will not understand them.

People have to go through some things before they can understand some things clearly.

For example, Yu Yu's Mi S, a handsome boy never lacks confidence, even narcissistic, but you won't get extra points in the exam just because you are handsome. After passing the narcissistic period, he no longer cares too much about appearance.

——referring to one's own.

Another example is Wu MAX.

He has many advantages, and these two are just the least worth mentioning.

The atmosphere that followed was somewhat silent.

In order to prevent the senior from wasting too much time internally, Yuzumi Yu decided to find some topics to divert her attention.

He is such a gentle man.

'Shut up.' This was a forewarning.

[...]

"Senior, the weather seems to be pretty good these days." What an awkward conversation.

Ikema came back to his senses and looked out the window. The sky was clear and the glass reflected the girl's delicate face.

"Yeah." She nodded.

"This shop tastes good too."

Maki Ikema withdrew her gaze and fell on the sushi, sashimi and grilled food on the table.

"Yeah." She nodded.

The boy was silent.

This makes it difficult to talk.

Maki Ikema stared at the food on the table in a daze. For a long while, she was muttering something, as if she was talking to the boy, or to herself.

"Hazumi-kun, it seems that we will no longer have any intersection. At school, in the club, or on weekends, I don't seem to have any reason to look for you anymore."

really.

The two would never have had any intersection.

But there will be no intersection, and the senior sister may die.

But they had once intersected, but now because of the boy's indifference, there will be no more intersection.

Yuzumi Yu continued to remain silent.

If he had to choose again, he would still save her. Apart from her 200 evolutionary degrees, the little girl is quite cute.

After all, there is still some emotion.

"If I keep pestering you, will you hate me?" the senior student was lost in thought.

certainly.

Won't.

Who would hate a beautiful and charming senior schoolmate?

[Germany: C]

"Okay, system, shut up, and please don't interrupt me when I'm thinking about life."

Yuzumi Yu didn't want to talk.

Ikema was very uncomfortable with him, and wasn't he the same?

If the other party could accept everything calmly, everyone would be fine. Unfortunately, the senior sister's rationality was only short-lived.

At this point, everyone has come to a tacit understanding.

Both of them understood each other's thoughts, but both of them stubbornly moved in the direction they believed in.

"But..." the senior student said, her vision began to blur, tears welled up in her eyes, "But I still can't get to know you again. I clearly said I wanted to get to know you again,

But I don't do it."

The boy opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing.

"I know this is the best choice, but..." Ikema Maki stared at the dining table in a trance, sniffing her nose, and her crying voice became stronger. "I will go to him, even if I know there is a high probability of being rejected.

I still go to him because it's the only way to talk."

It's so difficult for two people who have no intersection in life.

"But I have no reason. What reason can a stranger have... We met once, once in the bookstore." As she spoke, the senior sister leaned on the table and sobbed, the sound coming through her arms.

With tears in her eyes and muffled voice, she said, "It seems that I can only go to him again and again, and when I am rejected, I will get his sympathy, and then agree once..."

"Is he feeling sorry for me... That reluctant and helpless look clearly shows pity."

"If I'm humble enough and pitiful enough, will he agree? ... I really don't want to cry, but I can't control myself. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."

Ikema Maki's voice suppressed her emotions.

The boy was moved.

The boy was stunned.

He seemed to have never considered his senior's feelings.

Actually, it is true. He doesn't need to consider other people's feelings because he is German C.

But...he seems to have been destroying the senior's self-esteem.

Glancing at the system.

[Germany: C]

Fortunately it didn't fall.

If it is German D, then life is really bleak.

"Why did he save me? He could have left immediately after saving me, but why did he teach me?" The senior student was a little excited. "I have been following his steps,

After ten years of walking, I finally recognized him, but he wanted to leave me far away again... It doesn't matter if we get to know each other again, but why is he so indifferent... "

The girl suddenly raised her head and screamed, "Why, why!"

The emotions suppressed in her heart finally erupted, and those watery peach blossom eyes stared at him intently, her face full of tear marks, her makeup blurred, and tears continued to condense into water droplets on her snow-white chin.

The boy opened his mouth and finally let out a slow breath.

Just teleport and run.

The situation is getting a little out of control.

He never thought that the little girl would be so persistent.

Life is always unpredictable.

People are complex and uncontrollable. Only those with emotions are living people. Some behaviors don't even require logic, emotions are logic.

He could clearly feel the other person's fragmented emotions.

Seeing that the boy still didn't speak.

Ikema Maki looked away, her trembling body unable to calm down, and her tears unable to be suppressed, just like the vine in her heart when she saw her brother.

Yuzumi Yu remained silent.

After a while, the senior student wiped her eyes, stood up and walked outside.

"Excuse me, I need to go to the bathroom."

It's hard to say.

complex.

I don't know what to say.

This is Yuzumi Yu's current state of mind.

Maybe he was wrong, maybe he was not, or maybe she was just too stubborn. He had seen that stubbornness in her when she was practicing Kyudo.

The young man lowered his brows.

"Tap tap tap." The footsteps of high heels on the ground were rapidly moving away.

Just as Senior Ikema was about to open the door, someone suddenly grabbed her wrist. She turned around and saw the young man appear behind her, his handsome eyes filled with a hint of guilt.

"It's my problem," he said.

It was he who failed to handle their relationship well, it was he who took things for granted, it was he who was too arrogant.

Learning to criticize himself and correct himself is one of his many strengths.

"Are you still feeling sorry for me?" This question comes from the former little girl, now senior schoolmate.

Yuzumi Yu didn't know how to respond to this.

He just forced a smile and wiped her cheek with a tissue, "Your makeup is all smudged from crying. It's really ugly."

The girl was stunned.

This is the closeness of a brother.

Maki Ikema wanted to cry again.

The boy withdrew his hand and said in a gentle voice, "I'm sorry, it's been ten years since that happened. It's only been eight days for me, and it's also eight days for you, Senior Sister. Eight days doesn't mean anything."

Ikema-senpai was anxiously trying to speak, but the boy interrupted her.

"Shh, listen to me first."

"Compared to ten years, eight days is very short. I thought it was just your obsession, Senior." Yuzumi Yu's voice softened, "And I was just helping a girl in need."

"That's all."

The senior student looked at him and said, "Eight days is very short, but those eight days have permeated my life for the rest of my life."

"For example?" the boy looked at her.

"I can go out and play now."

"What else?"

"Learn Kyudo."

"Anything else?" The young man lowered his eyebrows.

Maki Ikema suddenly opened her collar and reached her hand inside. The boy was stunned. What was she doing?

There was a crisp "snap!" sound, which was the sound of the rope breaking.

The senior student clenched her fist and spread her hand in front of him. In her fair palm lay a bullet with a broken string.

The boy was stunned again.

"He was hurt for me." The voice was filled with emotion.

The familiar bullet, the familiar medal, the things stolen by the little girl, now appeared in front of him again.

Wow, it turns out that the senior has been hanging this bullet on her chest.

Yuzumi Yu raised his hand, wanting to take it for a closer look, but the senior student pulled his hand back. He looked over and saw that she was also looking at him.

"I won't let anyone else touch this bullet." She looked at him.

"…"

That's my stuff, right?

Forget it, let her be.

The senior sister suddenly reached out and tried to lift the hem of his clothes. He hurriedly stopped her and said, "Hey, senior sister, what are you doing?"

"Let me see it."

"I'm not hurt." The boy explained.

"I know."

"Then you still..."

"I just want to take a look and confirm."

Yuzumi Yu couldn't defeat his senior after all, he was a weakling.

Seeing the boy's beautifully contoured abdomen, the girl half-knelt down and stretched out her hand, her slightly wet fingers stroking across his skin.

"You said you would explain it to me later." She looked up.

"Is there?"

"have."

"I don't remember." His virtue is C.

"Hiss!" Someone pinched his abdomen hard, and Yuzumi You quickly dodged, "Senior, why are you still hitting me?"

Maki Ikema straightened up. After being interrupted, her mood seemed to calm down a little, and she looked at the boy indifferently.

"Ono-kun? Hazumi-kun? Yuu?"

The boy put his hands in his pockets, "Hazumi-san."

"My mother gave up on me at that time, but you didn't give up on me." The senior student changed the subject.

After pondering for a while, Yuzumi Yu said: "Actually, Madam hasn't given up on you."

"You were the only one there the whole time, in the elevator. If it weren't for you, I would have died long ago." The senior student was very calm.

This sudden calm seemed a little scary.

"Madam has someone secretly." The young man explained.

He didn't want any problems in the relationship between mother and daughter.

"But it's undeniable that if you weren't in the elevator, I would have died long ago." The senior student remained calm. "You were also sold out by her, and she is also using you."

"…" Yuzumi Yu knew.

He's a guy who can't tell whether what he says is true or false. He's very dangerous.

But what does it mean that the senior sister suddenly said this?

"If you are not strong enough, we will die together in the elevator." The senior student said again.

This guy is trying to sow discord.

Is there any point in just doing this?

"But I'm strong enough." The young man put his hands in his pockets and smiled.

"Hazumi-kun, you have successfully made me realize my inner self." Senior Ikema also smiled faintly, "That cold attitude, those hurtful words, that feeling of wanting to throw me away,

It made me feel very uncomfortable and even gave me dark thoughts."

The young man looked serious.

The first part is not important, the last sentence is very important.

"Tap tap." The senior sister was walking towards her with her high heels tapping on the ground. Her long legs were so slender and white, and her peach blossom eyes were so charming and attractive.

"In such a difficult situation, you saved my life, and only you could save my life." The senior schoolgirl walked up to the boy, her beautiful eyes making it impossible to look away.

"Actually, I've liked you for a long time. Actually, I've fallen in love with you for a long time."

"Because of that bullet, because of Kyudo, because of painting, because of the figure that stood in front of me, because of the action that helped me regain my confidence, and because of your appearance."

The pleasant floral scent from the senior student drifted over, seeming to be there and not there.

The young man froze with his hands in his pockets.

"In a word, I've been following you for ten years. I've been wearing a bullet for ten years. My memory is fading. My notebook is full of things about you. I go to Suga Shrine every night."

"Day after day, my time has been filled with your traces. What kind of obsession can achieve this, Yuzumi-kun?"

The fatal question made Yuzumi Yuu lower his eyes in thought.

The senior student continued, "The sudden encounter and sudden realization were not accidental, but took me ten years."

Her voice was very soft, "I love you just like this, Yuzumi-kun. My life is all about you."

Maki Ikema saw clearly into her own heart.

She strengthened her heart.

Yuzumi Yuu was silent.

"Am I good-looking, Yuzumi-kun?" the senior suddenly asked.

The boy raised his eyes.

Her fair skin is moist and delicate up close. Even with the makeup on, she is still charming.

The boy's evaluation is - beautiful S.

"It looks very nice," he said.

Maki Ikema stood on tiptoe, put her hands on the boy's shoulders, and slowly moved closer.

When they got closer, both of them could feel a faint strange sensation at the tip of their noses, but the boy said, "What if I refuse?"

Ikema paused, closing her eyes. Her lashes fluttered like a fan. She whispered, her breath hitting the boy's face, the rich scent of flowers, "I'm going to die."

The boy held his breath for a moment, "Are you threatening me?"

"My life is yours."

"Your life is your own."

"I am a child abandoned by my mother. If Yuzumi-kun is willing to save me, my life will belong to him." The grown-up senior finally understood what would happen that day.

"actually..."

Maki Ikema kissed him, and their noses crossed.

My heart is beating like a drum.

Green, shy, with poor skills, only the passion makes people reluctant to leave.

When Ikema said this, the implication that he must be with her was so strong that Yuzumi Yu felt helpless.

She loves him.

Does he love her?

It's just my liking for the beautiful girl and senior.

But she couldn't live without him.

Yuzumi Yu is not the kind of person who escapes. Since the senior has already realized her true feelings, there is no need for him to pretend to be confused anymore.

What happened in the past can never be forgotten.

People need to look to tomorrow, but looking to tomorrow with people from the past is also a good choice.

This pursuit spanning ten years, this love spanning ten years, is worthy of Yuzumi Yu's serious consideration.

He is a gentle person.

There are white clouds floating outside the glass window, and the sky is clear as if there has never been a rainstorm.

But how can there be no heavy rain? After the downpour, it will eventually clear up.
