Chapter 328 A sudden strong wind (4)
It’s the second Tuesday in September.
"Watanabe, do you have any cool props?" During the break, Miki Kujo was bundling up her hair.
Watanabe Toru turned around and saw her slender white hands flexibly flipping her black hair a few times. She then picked up a pen and inserted it into her hair. The gorgeous long hair was then tied into a classic hairstyle behind her head.
Without the cover of black hair, the snow-white neck is exposed to the air, looking very attractive.
"There is a way to make the weather hotter." Toru Watanabe picked up his Chinese textbook and fanned her.
"When will the typhoon come?" Kujo Miki enjoys the artificial fan and impatiently flips through the script - "The End of the World and Hard-Boiled Wonderland"
Although she didn't take human life seriously and liked to order people around, as the heiress of a large family, she rarely did things in class that went against the "will of the ruled class" - violating school rules and deciding whether to turn on the air conditioner.
"I can find a way to solve this problem, do you know?" asked Toru Watanabe.
"Forget it." Kujo Miki waved her hand. She knew the weather forecast.
With the help of Toru Watanabe's artificial fan, the stuffiness eased a little and she calmed down to read the script.
The two of them were chatting, and the second to last person in the third group were also chatting.
"Ichiki-san, can you ask the wind orchestra to take care of the stage sound?" asked Kiyono Rin.
"Of course!" Ikki Aoi turned away from Watanabe Toru at first, but when she saw him, she changed direction without saying a word.
Miki Kujo raised her head from the script and looked at Aoi Ikki with a cold gaze.
Watanabe Toru increased the force of the fanning, and Kujo Miki lowered her head again.
"Kiyono-san, if you need any help with the play, please let me know!"
"Thank you." Qing Ye Lin nodded gently, "We are currently short of an actor. If you are willing to participate, please come to the Human Observation Department for an audition after school."
"Audition?" Ikki Aoi was stunned for a moment, then said happily, "Since I have to audition, does that mean I will be paid part-time?"
Poor high school student, he has already auditioned but is still using the part-time job method to calculate his salary.
At times like this, you should sign a contract to sell yourself and get enough money to live without worries for the rest of your life.
"Hourly wage? There is no such thing." Qing Ye Lin coldly rejected the working class's request, "The tentative price of the drama ticket is 200 yen per ticket. If you pass the audition, you can give it all to you."
"Wait! Minister!" Deputy Minister Watanabe said he had something to say.
"Speak." Minister Qingye held a meeting directly in the classroom.
"All? What kind of all? Divided into six equal parts, one sixth of all?"
"What do you want the money for?" Qingye Rin asked as if it was a matter of course.
“…I have nothing more to say.”
Kiyono Rin turned her head and looked at Ikki Aoi: "Is this okay?"
"Is it too much?" Ikki Aoi asked in a low voice, embarrassed.
"It's 200 yen a ticket. Even if 500 people watch it, it's only 100,000 yen. It's not even enough for you and Watanabe to eat sushi four times at Kioicho."
"How does Kiyono-san know about eating sushi?!" Ikki Aoi was shocked.
"That person has no human rights in the community, so naturally he has no right to privacy."
Toru Watanabe looked at his hands that were fanning the members of Kujo Miki's team - there was indeed no human rights.
"Then..." Ikki Aoi looked at the three of them, "Do you all know everything I said to Watanabe-kun?"
"I know it's about Asuka Mai, so I'm not interested." Qingye Rin said lightly.
"I still can't figure out why you guys..."
"Ichiki-san." Toru Watanabe interrupted her.
Ikki Aoi pursed her lips unwillingly, but finally didn't continue speaking .
The conversation ended here. Kiyono Rin was busy - even if she wasn't busy, she wouldn't talk to Ikki Aoi.
She took out a notebook and made a list of what she needed to buy.
After making the list, she said to Watanabe Toru, "Let's go shopping together after school today. I'll buy and you carry. Do you have any objection?"
"Kiyono-san, today is September 9th."
"There are still 113 days until the end of New Year's Day?"
"What does that have to do with it? It's Meiji's birthday. And how come you can blurt out how many days are left until New Year's Day?"
"Do we need to mention this kind of thing deliberately?" Qingye Rin tilted her head.
"It's really not worth mentioning. Let's talk about Meiji's birthday. You..."
"That's what I'm saying."
"You should have received an invitation?" Watanabe Toru pretended not to hear and continued, "There will be no dance this time. It will be just the three of us and the two ladies having dinner together. Have you prepared the gifts?"
"Just pick up something on the way there."
"One gave me an old book, and the other bought me something random. I also wish our relationship could be like yours, so I don't have to worry about gifts." Watanabe Toru sighed.
"What gift have you prepared for me?" Miki Kujo didn't look up, her eyes still on the script.
At some point she took a pen in her hand and started writing and drawing on the script.
"We'll know tonight. Besides the gift I prepared, Miki, do you want anything special?" Toru Watanabe asked her.
"I really want it..." Miki Kujo tapped her chin with a pen, looking thoughtful.
Watanabe Toru's eyes moved to her hairstyle fixed with a pen, then to her delicate ears, graceful jawline, white|soft neck, and plump breasts...
"Turn into a cat?" Miki Kujo came back to her senses and said with a smile.
Watanabe Toru took the pen from her and wrote in the blank space of the script: "That's my birthday present for you."
"Change it." He said as he wrote with his hands.
Kujo Miki took a look, raised her head with a smile, propped her chin with her hand, and said in a comfortable tone: "Aladdin's magic lamp?"
Watanabe Toru puffed up his chest, crossed his hands, and said majestically: "Mortal, tell me your wish. No matter what it is..."
"Fan."
"Oh." Watanabe Toru let go of his hand and continued to fan the young lady.
Miki Kujo's bangs were gently blown up by the wind, and feeling the coolness, she turned her gaze to the window.
"Have you thought about it?" Watanabe Toru asked with a smile.
Kujo Miki retracted her gaze and lazily laid on the table: "I wanted everything before, but now I have no desires at all."
At this time, the class bell rang.
Watanabe Toru finally fanned the room twice and said, "Take your time. I have a lot of fun things here. I can't show them all at once. One a year is no problem."
Now open the [System] interface and scroll down to the mall, where you will see a lot of things.
Although many of them are props like the fruit knife that "seem supernatural but are actually useless".
For the remaining small part, if there is no point limit, Watanabe Toru can replace Doraemon Rin.
"Yes, I am the God of the New World!"
Under the "very rude and very sympathetic" look of Kiyono Rin, Toru Watanabe gave up his fantasy and took out "Mathematics B" from the drawer.
The daytime was spent discussing scripts, completing shopping lists, and chatting.
After school, Toru Watanabe and Rin Kiyono took Kujo Miki's luxury car to the restaurant reserved by the wives.
Qingye Rin got off the bus once on the way.
She crossed the street and walked into a scarf shop opposite. When she came out, in addition to her schoolbag, she also had a gift-wrapped bag in her hand.
"Scarf..." Toru Watanabe didn't know what to say.
"It's a very beautiful scarf. I didn't buy an ugly one on purpose." Qingye Rin explained.
"Is beauty the key? You must have seen that she was very hot today, so you bought her a scarf on purpose, right?"
"After the typhoon comes, the weather will quickly turn cool and I can use the books soon. In contrast, she should reflect on giving me the old books."
“What happened to the old books?”
"your?"
"certainly."
"Then take them out of storage, dust them off, and put them in the corner of the bookshelf."
"Qiono-san, Meiji is actually very kind to you. She plans to give you the book about the treasure of the Spanish shipwreck next year."
"...Is that so." Qing Ye Lin paused for a moment and continued, "In fact, she didn't think it was a real treasure map at all, so she gave the book to me, right?"
"Is it true?" Miki Kujo opened her eyes and asked Toru Watanabe.
"I told you." Watanabe Toru looked very innocent.
As if she had expected this, Qing Ye Lin said naturally, "On the contrary, it was you, Watanabe-san, who was willing to show me the book directly."
"..." Watanabe Toru was speechless.
He really didn't care about the sunken ship that still needed to be salvaged, and it was totally fine to show it to Qingye Rin, but the situation at that time...
He used the book to pick up the toenails cut by Kujo Miki, and then Kujo Miki gave the book to Kiyono Rin.
Miki Kujo seemed to remember what happened at that time and smiled maliciously.
The ladies made a reservation at a high-end restaurant in Minato Ward with a view of Tokyo Bay.
The entire restaurant was booked out, and the five of them sat in a corner near the floor-to-ceiling windows.
In another corner of the restaurant, a string quartet consisting of two violins, a viola and a cello played soothing music.
From the floor-to-ceiling windows you can see the orange Tokyo Tower and the colorful Rainbow Bridge at night.
There are cars on the bridge and cruise ships passing under the bridge, with the sound of distant whistles appearing and disappearing.
"What are you doing recently?" Mrs. Kujo took a sip of delicious wine and asked Toru Watanabe with a smile.
"Reading, running, chatting, and preparing for the cultural festival," Toru Watanabe replied.
On the other side, Mrs. Kiyono was talking to Miki Kujo who received the scarf.
Probably during the Christmas season last winter, she even brought out a sun hat as a Christmas gift, so she actually had no bad intentions.
The next moment, Qingye Rin told her directly that she had bad intentions.
"What are you going to do for this year's cultural festival?"
"Perform a drama." Toru Watanabe tapped the table lightly with his fingers following the tune of the violin.
"If you have time, be sure to go and have a look." Mrs. Kujo put down her wine glass and placed her hands elegantly under her chin.
She is a very beautiful and intelligent woman.
Watanabe Toru nodded: "It's just one performance. If you don't have time, I'll find a way to record it."
"Watanabe-kun."
"Um?"
"You sent flowers to Koizumi Aona in Karuizawa and recorded a play for me. You have many seemingly casual but attentive and gentle actions that easily attract women."
"It sounds like I have a high emotional quotient." Watanabe Toru smiled and stopped his fingers. "You misunderstood. I sent flowers because I felt guilty and couldn't be with her. I recorded the play because I had planned to do it anyway. Just like last year's movie, it is an experience worth collecting."
"That's all." Mrs. Kujo took another sip from her wine glass. "What are we going to talk about?"
"You think I'm a spy?"
"Report, what did you talk about?"
"Euripides."
"Euripides?" Kujo Maki confirmed.
"Euripides." Watanabe Toru nodded.
Qingye Rin sat opposite him, and the two of them felt each other's gaze and looked at each other for a few seconds.
Afterwards, Kiyono Rin continued to listen to her mother's nagging.
Watanabe Toru then said to Mrs. Kujo:
"Aren't you performing a play? So I read some books on the subject. I found that in many tragedies, the gods arranged the fate of the characters very arbitrarily and were extremely indifferent to human life. Some gods would even sacrifice the lives of innocent people for revenge, and the reasons for revenge were mostly just some seemingly reasonable but very absurd reasons, or..."
"What are you talking about?" Kiyono's mother wanted to talk to her daughter, and Kujo Miki came over.
"Euripides." Mrs. Kujo answered on behalf of Toru Watanabe.
"To be precise, it was Euripides who was inspired by the idea of the existence of gods in tragedy," added Toru Watanabe.
"Why don't you talk about Jesus' resurrection?" Miki Kujo mocked in an innocent tone.
"…Then let's change the subject?" Watanabe Toru was very self-conscious.
"Well, let's talk about how to get the hens to lay more eggs," Mrs. Kujo suggested.
"Ah, I know this. I learned it from my mother!" Watanabe Toru became interested and leaned forward slightly. "The chickens in the city eat nutritious food, but the activity area is not large enough. I suggest choosing a place with water and grass. The hens can also eat some high-protein insects..."
Miki Kujo reached out to Toru Watanabe's waist.
"Let's talk about today and tomorrow." Watanabe Toru changed the subject naturally.
After chatting about today and tomorrow, the five of them went to sing karaoke before the party ended.
"Today is Miki's birthday. Miki will be the first to sing. What do you want to sing?" Mrs. Kiyono asked Miki Kujo.
"Whatever."
"Then order my favorite song, 'Crossing the Sky City.'" Mrs. Kujo operated the song requesting station skillfully.
Miki Kujo stood up, picked up the microphone, stood in the front, and gently swayed her young and beautiful body to the prelude.
"Let's support Miki!" Mrs. Kiyono gave Kiyono Rin a bell used to coax children in kindergarten, and gave Watanabe Toru a grenade-like prop - which makes a sound when shaken.
Watanabe Toru looked at Kiyono Rin, who stared at the bell in his hand with indifference, then shook it again and again.
Watanabe Toru: “…”
"The lingering fragrance is hard to conceal, and I don't know when it started to infect you."
Miki Kujo has started singing, her voice is light and cheerful, without the heaviness of Sayuri Ishikawa's.
"Instead of being taken away by another woman, I'd rather let me kill you, okay?" Kujo Miki pointed her finger at Watanabe Toru, shook her body and sang this line with a smile.
Toru Watanabe shook the "grenade" in his hand vigorously.
"Messy bedding, secret hotel." Kujo Miki lifted her hips and her school uniform skirt flew up.
"Oh——" the two ladies shouted happily.
Toru Watanabe thought of the night in Izu, when the geisha, Miki Kujo, was wearing a red kimono.
I used to not understand what a treasure girl was. I thought it was a "professional term" used by women to compliment each other, but now I suddenly remember this word.
It is really the most appropriate way to describe Kujo Miki.
“It doesn’t matter what happened.”
"I want to go through the blazing fire"
"I want to cross the Tiancheng Mountain with you."
Miki Kujo looked at Toru Watanabe, twisting her beautiful body curves with her skirt fluttering.
She incorporated delicate emotions into the song and combined it with her personal characteristics, making this a powerful song that she sang with a unique flavor.
Listening to the sweet singing and looking at the twisting, youthful and glorious body, Watanabe Toru's heart was filled with infinite love for Miki.
He wanted to pull her into his arms, want her to sit on his lap and sing to him alone.
"Meiji, my Meiji." Watanabe Toru called out deeply in his heart.
