[New product: Lucky pendant ]
[Lucky pendant: can slightly increase the luck of the person wearing it. The style is created based on your imagination]
[Tip: Except for the player's willpower within the scope specified in the Supplementary Rules, this game will not be affected by anything else, including mall items, special skills awarded by temporary activities, etc.]
"Not affected in any way" is standard, but...
It’s okay to be affected! You’re not a child anymore!
Since it was useless, Watanabe Toru was too lazy to exchange it. He silently said to himself, "God Qingye bless me!" and hurried to look at the skills.
[Skills: Beginner - Mahjong (100), Master - Magic Performance (1000), Proficient - Massage (10,000), Master - Women's Wear Design (100,000)]
very good.
He finally understood that, except for [temporary activities], he could not expect the system to provide him with skills that he would be willing to spend points to redeem.
But [temporary events]... the reason why participation is voluntary is that Toru Watanabe suspects that the system thinks that players can't complete it at all.
Now think back to the system prompt:
[Arrange your time reasonably and pay attention to self-protection; be wary of being deceived and make friends sincerely].
Every sentence has a hidden meaning.
This is not a love system at all!
Watanabe Toru made up his mind that he must be more self-disciplined in the future. No matter what happens in the future, he can always rely on himself.
After finishing their worship, the two walked towards Asuka Mai and Ikki Aoi who were waiting for them.
"Kiyono-san, what did you wish for?"
“Abolish sports.”
"I see," Toru Watanabe nodded, "This kind of thing is indeed only possible if we ask God for help. Guess what I wished for?"
"Please ask God to forgive you for your sixteen years of life filled with lies."
"As expected of you, you guessed it right at the first try!" Watanabe Toru praised him generously.
Qingye Rin stopped, crossed her arms, and looked at him coldly.
"Kiyono-san, your bag is so pretty."
“…”
"Where did you buy it? I'll buy one too."
“…”
"Senior and Ikki-san are waiting for us. It's not a good idea to get upset now, right?"
“…”
"I was wrong."
Only after Watanabe Toru said this were the two able to continue moving and walk out of the crowd.
The four of them got together and Ikki Aoi suggested drawing lots.
Determined to rely on himself, Watanabe Toru was not interested in any other gods or monsters except the God of Seino. He just followed them and watched them draw lots.
The lottery area was also crowded with tourists, including Kuni Ichi and his friends.
"Did you touch the stone?" Toru Watanabe asked him.
"No." Kunijima Osamu was filled with anger, "Those guys gave me random hints! They said they were my friends, but they failed miserably at the critical moment!"
“……” Watanabe Toru patted his shoulder and couldn’t say anything.
Are you mocking him?
"But it doesn't matter. If I can draw a good lot, everything will be in time! I killed the Silver Rathalos before I got on the Shinkansen!"
Toru Watanabe simply couldn't understand what the connection was between these things.
Kunijii Osamu quickly put what had just happened behind him and regrouped.
"Watanabe, do you draw lots?"
"No."
It is extremely foolish to put your hopes on God. Toru Watanabe, who was just cheated out of 500 yen, is responsible for this statement.
Of course, except for Qingye Shen.
She is alive and well, at the most beautiful age, if you don't understand something, just ask her directly. Most importantly, as a beautiful girl with legs that no one can match, Watanabe Toru can stare at her all day long as she stands there.
No god in any temple has such power.
Summary: Only a fool would waste 100 yen on the lottery.
"Ah, it's 'Suekichi'!" Ikki Aoi looked towards the lottery cabinet, as if hesitating whether she could draw again.
"It's okay!" Kunijii Osamu comforted him, "You see, I'm still fierce!"
Okay, everyone understands your intention to comfort others, but please take care of yourself.
You must live well until your second year of high school.
Toru Watanabe suddenly felt that drawing lots was also very interesting.
After thanking Kunii Osamu, Ichiki Aoi turned around and asked Asuka Mai: "Mai-senpai, what did you draw?"
Asu Mai handed the lot in her hand directly to her.
"Wow, it's 'Daji'!" Ikki Aoi shouted happily.
"Really? That's amazing! What does it write?" Kunii Osamu was very supportive.
"Let me take a look," Yi Mukui read out the comments on the lot in a clumsy manner, "'Flowers bloom on the balcony, and carriages carry treasures; holding documents to the emperor's palace, and horses galloping to the sound of thunder', does anyone understand?"
Watanabe Toru looked at Kiyono Rin, and everyone followed his gaze and looked at her.
Qingye Rin put his hand on his chin and recalled:
"Flowers bloom on the balcony, and a carriage piled with treasures drives into the house. Demonstrate knowledge and virtue, gain the attention of the superior, and you can speak loudly to him about your wishes. Ride proudly, and you will eventually gain an enviable status."
"Isn't this talking about the senior getting recommended to the University of Tokyo?" Ikki Aoi became excited.
"So accurate! It is indeed a famous shrine!" Kunii Osamu exclaimed.
If possible, if you draw the last lucky and the last unlucky numbers, it's better for you two not to talk about the "approval" thing.
Ikki Aoi happily returned the lottery ticket to Asuka Mai: "Mai-senpai, please keep it well!"
Love is indeed blind, and Ikki Aoi completely forgot about her own [Suekichi] affairs.
"...What about marriage?" Asu Mai looked at the lot in her hand and asked calmly.
Ikki Aoi instantly became nervous.
When she made a wish just now, she slightly revealed her feelings. Has Senior Mai started to think about it?
Ikki Aoi winked at Kiyono Rin, hoping that she would choose something nice to say.
"'Holding a document to visit the emperor's palace, riding a horse and listening to the sound of thunder', judging from this sentence, the marriage... the other person is an extraordinary person, but as long as you show your good side and speak your mind loudly, everything will go well." said Qingye Rin.
"...Thank you." Asu Mai nodded, carefully folded the sticks and put them in her wallet.
The teacher's voice calling for assembly came from a distance.
"Everyone seems to be leaving, let's catch up! I heard that the "Otowa Falls" in front is spring water, and you can drink it directly!"
Amid Ikki Aoi's lively greetings, the group walked into the main school group.
Watanabe Toru, who was the last one to come, thought for a moment and stuffed a hundred yen into the lottery cabinet.
"Very bad"
"The family is not prosperous, the danger of death is to protect against disaster; dark clouds invade the laurel, the beauty is a stick of incense."
The same fortune slips are used in many places, but different places have different interpretations.
According to the interpretation of the island country Guanyin fortune, this sentence means:
I tried hard to revive my family business, but compared with the effort I put in, it was difficult to prosper; it was not a lifelong disaster, but there were more dangerous things.
Like dark clouds covering the moon, things you want to do won't go smoothly; in the room of a noble woman, all kinds of thoughts spread like incense, and your heart cannot be calm.
In the column of communication, it is specially noted: "Everything is evil, please act with caution in all your actions."
“…”
According to the island custom, Toru Watanabe hung the unwanted lots on a tall tree.
"Watanabe--" Koizumi Aona shouted from a distance.
"Here I come!" Toru Watanabe walked over quickly.
Wait, it seems like Sueyoshi and Xiong were taken away?
Kunijui, you must survive!
After visiting Kiyomizu Temple, everyone went to Ryoan-ji Temple, which is famous for its abbot's garden.
There was still some distance to the temple, so everyone got off the bus.
It’s not that buses can’t run, it’s just to allow students to walk more. Maybe many people have forgotten it now, but the main purpose of school trips is learning after all.
“Wow, so beautiful!”
“Come and take pictures!”
"cheese~~"
"Remember to keep up, don't fall behind!"
"I know, teacher!"
It’s really beautiful.
This is a mountain road. The autumn breeze blows gently, the maple leaves bloom like fire, and the birds sing non-stop.
Most of the tourists we met on the road were wearing kimonos, and they were either couples or families.
Green ferns grow wildly on the moss-covered cliffs.
Several girls gathered around the ferns, taking photos in a very curious way.
Toru Watanabe took a photo of them and sent it to his parents.
"The weeds you pull in the countryside are now attractions in big cities! I'm a nobody in my hometown, but I'm the future prime minister in Tokyo!"
After a while, my mother Watanabe Eda replied.
"Who are these girls? Where's my little Rin?"
"..."
Take a screenshot and send it to Kiyono Rin.
"I told you before, everyone likes me."
[Also, thank your auntie for me]
Through the text, Watanabe Toru could imagine the smug yet contemptuous smile on Kiyono Rin's face at the front of the team.
After walking for about ten minutes, we finally entered Ryoan-ji Temple through a simple courtyard gate.
There is a small lake with maple trees reflected in the lake, and a few gray fish hiding among the shadows.
Just these few inconspicuous fish caused the female classmates from Tokyo to scream and take photos desperately.
Once you enter the temple, you can move around freely.
Toru Watanabe followed Koizumi Aona and Akiko along the stone path under the maple leaves and went straight to the abbot's courtyard.
The yard was paved with gravel, with fifteen carefully arranged large stones scattered around, and the surrounding walls were covered with moss.
It is said that the white pebble beach represents the water surface. When Watanabe Toru took a closer look, it really looked like the real thing.
This is the most famous attraction of Ryoanji Temple. Even the second daughter of a Chiba prefectural councilor has meditated in front of the stones here.
"Here are the instructions!" Akiko pointed to a wooden sign with the things to pay attention to when meditating written on it.
The three of them also sat there for a while but didn't realize anything. They just took a few decent tourist photos, proving that they were also people who had practiced cultivation.
Watanabe Toru sent a photo of himself sitting cross-legged and gazing at the courtyard in meditation to Kujo Miki.
"I have realized that I will not get close to women from now on."
After a while, Miki Kujo sent me a casual photo of her legs.
"Donor lady, when will you come? I will check your body for free!"
"Don't you want to stay away from women?"
Watanabe Toru pointed his mouth at the microphone of his mobile phone and said in a tone mixed with laughter: "I don't like women, except you."
On the other side, Qingye Rin, who was walking in, looked at him with disdain.
Watanabe Toru sent the voice message, raised his head, and said gently to Kiyono Rin: "R-san, don't worry."
"What should I be assured of?"
"No matter what the future holds, no matter what happens, no matter where you go or who you become, I will always be your closest friend."
"...With so many temples in Kyoto and the Zen meditation, can't that save you from being frivolous?"
"What I mean is that you are not one of the women I stay away from."
Qingye Rin no longer even had any disdain left and just walked past him as if she didn't know him.
The time their bodies were close to each other was very short, but Watanabe Toru could still detect the familiar faint fragrance on her body.
At this time, Kujo Miki sent a voice message.
"You're so smooth-talking, I'll deal with you tomorrow."
He put away his phone, and the fortune drawn at the Landlord Shrine came to his mind: Everything is bad, please act with caution.
Practice makes perfect, isn’t that enlightenment?
We had tofu hotpot and taro soup for lunch, and went to the Kifune Shrine in the afternoon.
The shrine is located at the western foot of Mount Kurama in northern Kyoto.
On the way up the mountain, there are towering trees on both sides, with thick shades covering the tops. The cloudy and sunny sky is cut into pieces and scattered on the stone road bit by bit like feeding pigeons.
Then there are stone steps with red-painted lanterns standing on both sides, extending to the end of the steps.
There is a stone tablet in the shrine with a poem engraved on it: "Morning and night, I think of you, your glow is like my body. In my dreams, you are my jade."
"This was written by Izumi Shikibu."
"Eh? Does Saito-san know?" Ikki Aoi asked curiously.
"Yes. When Izumi Shikibu was praying here, he suddenly saw a sky full of fireflies and wrote this poem."
"That's amazing! Nowadays, even Natsume Soseki is rarely read, and Saito-san actually knows about Izumi Shikibu!"
"Speaking of Izumi Shikibu, there is an anecdote. She got married at the age of 18, but within a few years, she secretly married a prince of the imperial family..."
Kunii Osamu gritted his teeth as he watched Saito Keisuke talk and tell stories to Ikki Aoi.
After unremitting efforts, I finally brought the friendship in the game into reality, and I can stand with Ikki naturally. Why is it Saito who is "showing off his literary talent"? !
If time could go back to the morning, he would definitely listen carefully to Watanabe Toru's storytelling!
In the distance, Toru Watanabe and Rin Kiyono stood together.
"Qionno-san, do you think I need to buy a lottery ticket?"
"Have you lost your ability to judge yourself because of your meditation? Although we are friends, you can't expect me to take care of you like a baby for the rest of your life. We are not close enough. Also, I have some unfortunate news for you. Our mental hospital will not accept people like you."
"How about taking the opportunity to expand your business?"
Qingye Rin put her hand on her chin and pretended to think seriously: "Thank you for your advice, I will pass it on to my parents. In return, I will give it to you for free."
"Yeah, I'll remember that."
The conversation between the two was interrupted.
After a while, Watanabe Toru said again: "I want to buy it, but I heard that only the first fortune stick in a day is effective."
"Have you already bought it?"
"No."
Qingye Rin glared at him in dissatisfaction.
Watanabe Toru pretended not to see it and continued to think about the divination: "But the Kibune Shrine is a water divination, which is different from the Jishu Shrine. It should also be considered the first fortune, right?"
"I don't know. I'm very curious about your first lottery ticket."
"I've already said no more, just listen to what I'm saying."
Watanabe Toru still spent 100 yen to buy a fortune stick and placed it in the stream flowing through the shrine, and the good or bad luck slowly emerged.
"fierce"
They are all fake. There are no gods, demons, ghosts or monsters. They are all lies.
Watanabe Toru crumpled the paper into a ball without even looking at it.
"What's written?" Qingye Rin asked with a smile.
"Good luck. I doubt every one of them is auspicious. It's really misleading."
Looking at his indignant expression, Qingye Rin couldn't help but smile happily with her hands covering her mouth.
The sounds of wind blowing through the trees, mountain spring water hitting pebbles, and tourists chatting suddenly disappeared.
Under the shade of the maple tree, Toru Watanabe looked at her straight and smiled.
Noticing his gaze, Qingye Rin put down her hand and looked at her clothes: "What are you looking at? Is there something wrong?"
"I was obviously lying, but you didn't get angry. Instead, you laughed. This is the first time." Toru Watanabe felt incredible.
Qingye Rin's face was at a loss for a moment, and then it habitually turned cold.
Seeing that Watanabe Toru was still staring at her, she turned around and looked at the raccoon cat by the stream, which was spurting out spring water in a peeing posture.
After a while, she suddenly realized what it was, and she hurriedly looked up and examined the maple leaf carefully.
Toru Watanabe looked at her heart-warming, slightly red face, and imagined what kind of fleeting glimpses would be in her bright eyes.
When going down the mountain, Kunii Osamu clamped Saito Keisuke's neck with his wrist and pressed him down as he walked.
"What's wrong?" Watanabe Toru asked curiously.
"I want to kill him! We are completely undone!" Kunijima Osamu was no longer in the mood to explain.
"Squad leader?" Toru Watanabe looked at the squad leader who was watching the show on the side.
The monitor pushed his glasses up with his middle finger and said nothing.
Watanabe Toru couldn't understand the looks from anyone except Kiyono Rin and Kujo Miki, and was completely confused by them.
It didn't matter what happened to them, he gained a lot and saw the best scenery at Kifune Shrine.
The hotel Kamikawa booked was near Higashiyama, called Higashiyamaso, next to Sannenzaka and Ninenzaka.
"Ninnenzaka" is a stone path on the hillside, the Shinto way of Kiyomizu Temple.
The road is lined with souvenir shops, pottery shops and restaurants, and is an important traditional building protection area on the island.
Nearby are Yasaka Shrine, Maruyama Park, Kodaiji Temple, Hokanji Temple and many other attractions.
Living here makes it convenient for students to go out at night to experience Kyoto's charm - spend money, and have free time on the second and third days.
This Dongshan Villa was originally part of the scenic area, and even if you sleep on a large dormitory bed, the accommodation fee is very expensive.
Class 2, which did not have to pay, once again acted smug, and the boys were pinned to the ground and beaten by people from other classes because they were too arrogant.
Considering that Kujo Miki would come tomorrow and it would be convenient to examine the female donor, after communicating with Koizumi Aona, Watanabe Toru successfully booked a room for her alone and asked the clerk to replace all the things in the room with new ones.
The cost is not small, but Miki Kujo doesn't like to use things that have been touched by others, and Toru Watanabe can fully meet this requirement.
Although the money used was still that of Miki Kujo.
Watanabe Toru probably won’t dare to use the money given by the system openly until he gets married in the future, but by that time, it seems that there is no need to deliberately use his own money.
This room is the best in Dongshan Villa, with a small but pleasant courtyard.
In the yard, there is also the quaint and natural "Luweishi" - a bamboo tube that collects water. When it is full, it automatically pours out and makes a "bang" sound. It was used in ancient times to scare away wild animals.
The room has its own Japanese-style room, which is furnished with a coffee table and Japanese-style chairs.
There was a break after dinner. Toru Watanabe did not go to the boys' dormitory. Instead, he took a dictionary and a French verb list and sat in the Japanese-style room to look at them.
The study time passed quickly, and when I came to my senses, the sun was about to set.
Watanabe Toru opened the large round wooden window of the Japanese-style room, and what came into view was Higashiyama, filled with maple leaves and green trees, as if it was just around the corner.
He leaned on the windowsill with one hand, flipped through the dictionary with the other, and occasionally looked out at the sunset in Kyoto.
As the sun sets, the soft red sunlight gradually fades, and the night gradually covers the sky.
When the sun completely disappeared, Toru Watanabe stretched and prepared to take a hot spring bath.
I took the towel and yukata that I had prepared earlier and went to the corridor, where I happened to meet Kiyono Rin.
She also asked for a separate room.
The reason is that they are fed up with girls' gatherings - spending the whole night telling each other who they like, what kind of love history they had in the past, whether they will be full-time housewives or work in the future, what the life of rich people is like, etc.
" Where are you going?" asked Toru Watanabe.
"Same as you." Kiyono Rin also brought a towel and a yukata.
"Is there a mixed bathing for men and women here? Wait, let me adjust my mood. Bathing together is a bit too exciting for a pure person like me."
"When I say the same, I mean taking a shower, not the same bath."
"I may not be able to control myself later, so you don't have to be polite, Kiyono-san. You can resist with the goal of killing me."
"You don't understand me?"
"Can you wait for me outside for a while, and come in after I drive everyone out? Even though we are just friends, I won't allow anyone other than myself to see you taking a bath..."
"Keep talking . If I run into Asuka Mai in the hot spring, I'll talk to her."
"…It has nothing to do with Asuto-senpai. It's just because you like quietness, Kiyono-san, so I won't say anything."
They both took steps together, their slippers clacking.
Kiyono Rin walks slowly, but the two of them have walked together for who knows how long, and Watanabe Toru's body will subconsciously slow down his pace to match her pace.
Arrived in front of the open-air hot spring bath.
"Some people will be disappointed. There is no mixed bathing." Qing Ye Lin laughed, "Or should we go to the women's bath, T-san?"
"Can you be a bit more serious as a woman? Let's do it another day. It's not convenient today." Watanabe Toru said perfunctorily and entered the men's bath.
Kiyono Rin, who was left where she was, took a deep breath and then slowly let it out before she was able to control her emotions.
