Chapter 181 Winter Camping (3)
Qingye Rin received a call.
"Kiyono-san?" On the other end of the line came Koizumi Aono's slightly uneasy and hesitant voice.
"What's up, Mr. Koizumi?"
"Are you... okay?"
Qing Ye Lin glanced at the scene on the path and replied in a low voice:
"Teacher Koizumi, I suggest you educate Watanabe Toru and his bald friend properly when you return."
"What's wrong with Watanabe?!" the voice suddenly got louder.
“He was harassing women.”
"… Impossible, it must be Kunii-san, right?"
…
"How long are you going to hold on?"
The coherent and natural sentences calmed the two people who were too scared to open their eyes.
Kunii Osamu slowly let go of Ikki Aoi.
The two looked over and saw that Watanabe Toru, who had a ferocious face just now, had now returned to human form.
"Watanabe, is that you?" Ikki Aoi asked timidly.
"[Dazai Osamu once said in his book No Longer Human, 'He came from the vast sea of people, only to give me a false joy.']"
"It's really Watanabe-kun!" Ikki Aoi put his hand on his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, "That's great!"
Kunii Osamu: “?”
Why are we suddenly talking about No Longer Human? Why does Dazai Osamu's words sound wrong? Also, where is the chemistry between these two people?
But never mind, the plan went smoothly, and the suspension bridge effect should be a success, right?
Kunii Osamu secretly looked at Ichimoku Aoi.
Ichimoku walked up to Watanabe Toru, took the hood from his hand, and looked at him carefully.
"Why isn't the brain moving?"
"You put it on your head and it moves when you talk," said Toru Watanabe.
"What a wonderful design! By the way, Watanabe-kun, what are you eating?"
"Ice cubes." Watanabe Toru bit the ice cubes with a smacking sound.
"So that's what the cold air and the sound were! But aren't you cold?"
"Have you ever seen a ghost afraid of the cold?"
"There's, there's another twist?" Ikki Aoi said fearfully.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you. It's over. The exit is over there."
"I was scared to death, it's so annoying." Ikki Aoi returned the hood to Watanabe Toru, "Then we'll go first. I was really scared. I thought there was a man-eating ghost. That stone looks just like the real thing."
Kunijii Osamu: “…”
Why didn't you respond? Shouldn't I be grateful to myself?
"Kunii-san, let's go out quickly and chase after Misato and the others." Ikki Aoi walked towards the exit and he hurriedly followed.
When passing by Toru Watanabe.
"Kunii."
"What's wrong?" He turned around.
Watanabe Toru hesitated to speak, and finally just patted him on the shoulder: "Come on."
"That's a given!"
…
Toru Watanabe watched the two men disappear through the exit and walk into the nearby bushes.
"I don't like what you're doing." Qingye Rin handed over the new props.
Watanabe Toru picked up the Grim Reaper's scythe and said, "What's wrong with you?"
"Unauthorized physical contact." Qing Ye Lin's expression was indifferent, "Ikki Aoi likes girls, but she is also a girl. I understand that you boys are thick-skinned and lustful, but I don't appreciate such behavior."
Watanabe Toru thought about it.
"Well, I won't do that next time."
Qingye Rin's expression relaxed and he nodded.
At this time, Toru Watanabe sighed again: "Ichiki-san has probably discovered it. Judging from her reaction... Kunii may really have no hope."
"Then you should apologize to Ikki-san."
"With Kunii?"
"It's up to you. Whether he is hated or not has nothing to do with me."
"So, you're targeting me alone? You're picking on me?"
"Do you have any opinions?" Qingye Rin asked coldly.
"No."
A smile slowly spread across Kiyono Rin's beautiful and elegant face.
The eyes that were originally as cold as ice were now as warm as melted snow.
She looked at Watanabe Toru, smiled softly and said:
"Car accidents happen when two careless people are involved." I hope you will always be reminded of this. Isn't this your purpose, Watanabe-san?"
Watanabe Toru shivered all over, turned around and walked towards the main road, saying, "It's really too cold to eat ice cubes in this weather."
Qingye Rin looked at his back, covered her mouth elegantly, and smiled smugly.
"I'll be waiting for your invitation to the bonfire party the day after tomorrow."
…
Toru Watanabe, wearing a cloak and holding a giant sickle, chased the last group of students in a strange way that was almost like flying.
The wailing sound echoed far and wide in the forest.
After the test of courage ended, the three of them gathered again.
Miki Kujo returned the clothes in her hand to Toru Watanabe: "The scary way is not monotonous and repetitive, it's quite interesting. "
"All of this was planned by Kiyono-san." Toru Watanabe took off his cloak and changed into his own clothes.
"Without the advice and experience of Mai Asuka, I wouldn't have been able to achieve this level." Kiyono Rin said, "Watanabe-san, who was responsible for the implementation, also made an invaluable contribution."
After that, she glanced at Kujo Miki and said, "Your sound effects are also good."
Kujo Miki laughed contemptuously: "You are not qualified to judge me."
" Really?" Qing Ye Lin responded with the same contemptuous smile, "As a ..."
"Alright, alright." After getting dressed, Toru Watanabe quickly comforted the two young ladies who were about to quarrel again, "It's so cold outside, let's go back quickly."
The three of them were close to the starting point, so they went out through the entrance.
The moon that had just hidden reappeared, and the bright moonlight illuminated the three people walking together in the forest, making the road ahead very clear.
When passing by the boulder, Kujo Miki looked at "her own corpse" with disgust.
The 'corpse' was wearing old clothes that she had worn today - she had only worn them once today, during the day.
Qingye Rin stopped and walked towards the boulder.
"Did you add this stone temporarily? It is indeed very impressive." She put her hand on it. "I didn't expect it to be real. How did you move it here?"
"Really?" Miki Kujo had been nearby and saw with her own eyes that Toru Watanabe lifted up the stone that was as tall as a person.
In various weightlifting competitions, you can see strong men lifting nearly a thousand pounds, but they can only barely lift it to the knee level.
Toru Watanabe just raised it above his head.
"It's so dirty, don't touch it, let's go, I'm freezing to death." Toru Watanabe grabbed Kujo Miki's arm.
He now regretted very much that he should not have put so much thought into Guo Jingxiu.
However, it seems that there is no need for him to hide it from the two young ladies?
Miki Kujo glanced at him, took his hand away and walked over.
I put my index finger on the stone and pushed it hard. Whether it was the touch or the weight, the answer I got was "This is a real stone."
Kujo Miki brushed the dust off her fingers and looked back at Watanabe Toru.
"I underestimated you." Her tone was leisurely, but her eyes were meaningful.
"It's normal for country folks to be strong, right? What's more, I've been through some training." Toru Watanabe looked as if this was a very common thing in our Iwate Prefecture.
When it comes to becoming strong through just a few months of training, we have to mention Frieza.
I remember that on the way up to Kitauji, he boasted to Kiyono Rin that he was from Frieza's clan. So, everything has been foreshadowed, and it won't be a problem to convince Kujo Miki...
No way.
We have to think of a way.
Just as Watanabe Toru was using his best brain in the country, Kujo Miki said:
"I have to be careful when you put your arms around my waist next time."
"Uh-huh?"
"Let's go." Qingye Rin turned and walked towards the exit.
Miki Kujo laughed disdainfully at her back.
Watanabe Toru: “…”
It’s scary, so scary, these two people are definitely real “ghosts”.
Kujo Miki turned her head and stared at him: "Come to my room later."
"What's the matter?"
She smiled and said, "It's definitely not a good thing."
"Can I not go?" asked Toru Watanabe.
"Of course, I respect your will."
I've never seen someone who likes to lie so much.
"I'll go."
Back at the campground, word of the test of courage had spread.
Everyone who participated was very scared, as could be seen from the fact that Aona Koizumi called to inquire about the situation.
Taking advantage of this horror atmosphere, young boys and girls began to talk about supernatural stories.
The most exaggerated thing is that Watanabe Toru and the other two are actually dead, and no one who participated in the winter camping this time can escape.
Coming to the living room, Toru Watanabe found Aoi Ikki.
She was sharing her experience at the Test of Courage with the other girls - each group's experience was different.
"Ichiki-san."
"Hmm?" Ikki Aoi raised her head, "Watanabe-kun? What's the matter?"
"Are you free now? Kiyono-san sent me to collect customer feedback."
Ikki Aoi, who had written the report, immediately understood what he meant.
She followed Toru Watanabe into the corridor.
"Ikki-san, I'm very sorry about what happened just now. I went too far." Watanabe Toru said sincerely.
"That matter..."
From Ikki Aoi's expression, it can be seen that she did realize that something was wrong.
"I'm really grateful that Kunii-san likes me like this, but I hope this kind of thing won't happen again."
"I'm really sorry." Watanabe Toru bowed.
"Don't be like that!" Ikki Aoi waved her hands quickly, "This has nothing to do with you, Watanabe-kun. It must be Kunii-san who asked you to do this, right? And you're supposed to be the one scaring people!"
"That's true, but I provided the opportunity, so I also have half the responsibility. I must apologize to you."
"Hehehe." Ikki Aoi suddenly laughed.
"Hmm?" Toru Watanabe looked at her puzzledly.
"I'm sorry, I just didn't expect you to be such a gentle person, Watanabe-kun. You clearly said in the wind band that I looked like someone from Hokkaido."
Like people from Hokkaido - Tokyo means "people from the land".
Watanabe Toru didn't pick up her topic and said, "As for Kunii, if Kazuki-san really doesn't want to consider him, I hope he can completely reject him during this camp."
Only Ikki Aoi can make Kuniyoshi give up completely.
"Yeah, I'll take care of it."
"I'm sorry to trouble you."
"It's okay, it's okay. Watanabe-kun's acting was really scary. If Kunii-san hadn't suddenly hugged me, I wouldn't have noticed anything was wrong."
"Well, I'm leaving now."
" Um , Watanabe-kun, have you forgotten about Seino-san's investigation? You haven't even asked me a single question yet."
"Oh, right." Watanabe Toru remembered the excuse he had given her to come out, "Ichiki-san, was this courage test scary?"
"It's very scary." Ikki Aoi put on a serious expression as if answering the question.
"OK, thanks."
She waited for a while: "…Is it over?"
After Watanabe Toru and Ikki Aoi separated, he went back to his room to get his clothes and prepared to go to Kujo Miki's room to take a bath.
Kunii Shuu-mei was having a great time with everyone.
From the volume of his voice and the exaggeration of his body movements, you can tell that he is in a good mood.
Watanabe Toru did not remind him that this was ultimately Kunii Osamu's own business, and he himself was in a difficult situation now.
Walking into the luxurious single room, Miki Kujo was sitting on the sofa opposite the built-in fireplace.
She had just come out of the bath and was wearing a loose yukata. There was a hint of cherry on her cheeks and her wet black hair was still shining with water.
"Miji." Toru Watanabe walked over.
Kujo Miki pointed to the cushion in front of her and ordered, "Sit upright."
“…”
Toru Watanabe first placed the clothes for changing neatly on the sofa, and then sat down in front of her obediently.
"Reflect on it." Miki Kujo folded her arms, crossed her long, white legs, and looked down at him.
Watanabe Toru glanced at the slit yukata in front of him, and the white thigh flesh made him swallow his saliva.
"Can you first tell me where I went wrong?" he said.
Kujo Miki sneered coldly, as if to say that she had seen through his tricks and could no longer tolerate his hopelessness.
"Tell me what you think of Kiyono Rin first," she ordered.
"A lonely soul wanders in the deserted wilderness. I think she is amazing and want to be her friend."
"What else?"
"No, that's all."
"Don't like her? Never thought about being with her?"
“I don’t even dare to think about it.”
Miki Kujo smiled, stretched out her white and tender feet, and lifted Toru Watanabe's chin.
"It's okay not to think about it. Don't think that I like you and will always tolerate you."
Watanabe Toru held her calloused soles with his hands , and moved his hand upwards along the curve of her slender legs.
At the same time, he stood up, sat on the sofa, and hugged Kujo Miki in his arms.
"So, Meiji, you were lying to her about the bet you made with her?"
"No." Kujo Miki grabbed his restless hands and said, "If you invite her to dance at the bonfire party, I really won't punish you. This time I am mainly testing your sincerity."
"Testing sincerity?"
Kujo Miki raised her left hand.
On her ring finger, the ring made of nine vines and a red gem was still worn.
"I know you don't have a good impression of me, but we will definitely get married. If possible, I hope we can love each other more."
"How could I have a bad impression of you Meiji? I like you just like this!"
"Ha." Kujo Miki snorted with a sneer, "You've passed. If you don't refute me, I'll throw you into the fireplace right now."
“…”
"Go take a shower first." Miki Kujo patted his back.
"Let's take a shower together later."
"Are you going?"
"Right away!" Toru Watanabe jumped up.
"Remember to cut your nails, too."
…
On the soft big bed, Miki Kujo stretched out her slender arms from under the sheets and leaned lazily in Toru Watanabe's arms.
Her face was rosy, her eyes were full of moisture, and she exuded the most primitive feminine charm.
Toru Watanabe combed her messy bangs.
"Meiji, let me ask you a question."
"Hmm?" Kujo Miki's voice was half dry and half hoarse.
"What is your relationship with Qing Ye Lin? I know you hate her, but you pushed her on the bed today. Don't you hate physical contact with people?"
"The Kujo family and the Kiyono family have a good relationship. We often played together when we were young."
Toru Watanabe imagined the two of them, dressed in children's clothes, playing with building blocks and reading picture books.
"Later, after she was able to tell if someone was lying, the relationship faded."
"She hates you?" Toru Watanabe guessed.
"You can say that, but I also started to hate her. After she was able to see through the lies, we were still very good friends for a while, even best friends. We talked about everything, and I would not lie to her. We even said stupid things like marrying the same person when we grow up."
Having said that, Kujo Miki glanced at Watanabe Toru with a half-smile in her eyes.
Watanabe Toru raised his left hand to indicate that he absolutely did not have such wishful thinking.
"When I was in the third grade of elementary school, my father passed away and I started to study with my mother. From that time on, Qing Ye Lin would always point out that I was lying and threatened not to be my friend. The more I saw her, the more I hated her. I felt that this person was so hypocritical."
"hypocritical?"
"Yeah." Kujo Miki replied lazily, "But that was my thought at that time."
"At that time? Has it changed now?"
"Let's talk about it next time." Kujo Miki yawned, "Pour me a glass of water, I want to sleep."
Toru Watanabe was very curious and wanted to listen to the whole thing in one go, but Kujo Miki refused, so he had to wait until next time.
He got out of bed and poured a glass of water. Kujo Miki drank a small portion of it, and he drank the rest in one gulp.
Place the cup casually next to the bed.
