Chapter 86: Watanabe Toru keeps his distance from them
Although he already had two pairs of stockings worn by women hidden in his room, they were still socks after all, and the owner of the socks was his girlfriend, Miki Kujo. Even if they were discovered, he could always explain it away.
This is not an erotic publication that would only be laughed at by Kujo Miki if someone saw it; its existence is simply a bomb with no scheduled detonation time!
Find a trash can far away from the rental house to throw it away.
Watanabe Toru covered his face with his hands, thinking absentmindedly about this matter, which came to his mind.
After observing for a period of time, he found that the risk of exposure was actually very low.
First of all, the oboe player was located at the back and edge of the entire classroom, and Asu Mai had been training at her seat and almost never went to the toilet.
In addition, the skirt was deliberately lowered, so it would be impossible to be discovered unless a plot that was popular in light novels but would never happen in reality occurred.
At noon, the morning training came to an end. Because there were regular performances in the afternoon, everyone had two hours to eat and move.
Toru Watanabe acted alone.
In order to help Rin Kiyono integrate into the wind band, he would deliberately keep a distance from her in front of them.
This is also something we have been longing for.
At least that woman, Kujo Miki, wouldn't find an excuse to punish him. Moreover, at this moment, Watanabe Toru didn't want to be with anyone.
After all, she was wearing women's underwear.
Too perverted!
As Toru Watanabe stood on the platform, he couldn't help but worry that the station attendant would suddenly rush over and ask to search him.
Then he really wanted to jump into the railway tracks and commit suicide.
"Stay away from Asu Mai from now on!" Watanabe Toru raised his palm towards the blue sky and blew slowly into the back of his hand.
This is the breathing method that Qingye Rin taught him.
"Don't stop breathing. Build a bridge of breath between the back of your hand and your lips." She could still repeat the words word for word.
The white clouds flowed slowly between his fingers, as if they were blown away by him.
Just then, a group of girls wearing Kamikawa High School uniforms walked onto the platform. They were the bass section members of the wind orchestra.
In order to avoid the sun that could hurt their skin, they ran into the awning where Toru Watanabe was.
Hanada Asako and Ikki Aoi nodded to him, while the others ignored him, except for Asuka Mai who sat next to him as if nothing had happened.
The scent of her body was captured by Toru Watanabe's familiar nose.
The others were stunned for a moment, but when they saw that Asu Mai didn't greet him, they just thought that she didn't take Watanabe Toru, who had a bad personality, seriously at all, and didn't doubt their relationship.
Toru Watanabe subconsciously glanced at her skirt and immediately moved two steps away.
Now that you have decided to distance yourself from this nympho, take action immediately!
What Watanabe Toru didn't expect was that Asu Mai would sit next to him again.
The bassists were stunned by her behavior.
At this time, Asu Mai patted the empty seat and called to Hanada Asako , "Sit down."
It turns out that she was making room for others. Although the senior sister seemed a little cold, she was actually very gentle deep down... This was what the bass section thought.
Sluts are so scary, I want to go back to the countryside... This is what Toru Watanabe thought.
The bassists gathered around Asu Mai, chatting among themselves, saying that the weather was too hot and recommending the sunscreen they were using recently to each other.
The atmosphere was cheerful, but Toru Watanabe only felt that they were noisy, and the weather was even hotter.
Can't it be a little quieter in the summer? Are those chirping sparrows or cicadas? After complaining in his mind, Watanabe Toru stared at the airplane clouds in a daze.
The tram clanged into the station, stirring up a gust of hot wind.
When getting on the bus, Asu Mai whispered in Watanabe Toru's ear:
"Don't worry, I won't let anyone else see it."
What does this mean?
Doesn't it matter to him?!
The woman was too cunning. After saying this, Watanabe Toru could no longer treat her as a nympho!
The wind band received applause during the regular performance in the afternoon.
Although the applause could only be considered enthusiastic, it was a far cry from the last time when they were laughed at.
After the performance, Qingye Rin announced that the group would disband today, allowing everyone to have a good rest for the night and continue practicing tomorrow.
Toru Watanabe and Rin Kiyono's routes home overlapped for a while, so they met halfway.
"After so many ways of training, they should listen to you obediently in the future, right?" Watanabe Toru smiled and deliberately revealed the ugly face of a capitalist who successfully exploited the workers.
Qing Ye Lin glanced at him with dissatisfaction: "Don't make me sound sinister. You made the decision and implemented it on your own."
"You cooperated, didn't you? In fact, it constitutes a joint crime."
Qing Ye Lin sighed: "I can't refute this."
The two walked along Shinjuku National Highway for a while, passing a bus stop spraying water mist, and Qing Ye Lin suddenly said: "Thank you for this time."
Her tone was very sincere, with a sense of openness and disclosure.
Toru Watanabe was not used to such scenes. It was just like his father suddenly saying "Son, I love you".
It's enough to just understand each other's feelings, why do we need to say it so formally?
I'll be shy.
"It is my duty to help beautiful girls like Kiyono-san." Toru Watanabe used a joke to break up the overly serious atmosphere.
Qing Ye Lin covered her mouth and laughed: "Ah, I thought I was special, it turns out that you are like this to every cute girl, Watanabe."
"No, no, no." Watanabe Toru deliberately changed the subject in a flustered manner, "I only do this to you, Kiyono-san!"
Qingye Rin blinked twice quickly and stared at him blankly.
"What's wrong?" Watanabe Toru asked puzzledly.
Qingye Rin turned her head away from him and whispered, "Thank you."
If they were not so close to each other and the streets were very quiet at two or three in the afternoon in July because of the heat, Watanabe Toru would not have been able to hear clearly what she said.
"Why are you thanking me again... Eh?! Was I telling the truth just now?!"
"……Um."
"Don't get me wrong, Kiyono-san. I don't like you! I just think that someone like you who insists on not lying should have someone stand by your side, support you, and help you."
"So that's how it is. I thought it was a confession of love and was thinking about how to reject it so that you wouldn't run out onto the street and commit suicide."
"Suicide... Kiyono-san, you might have heat stroke."
"Heatstroke? No."
"But you look very ugly."
"I……"
"Hello? Qingye, are you okay?!"
The road in the distance was distorted by the sun, and Watanabe Toru's voice became farther and farther away. After a dizzy moment, Kiyono Rin lost consciousness.
"...The fruit knife at the 100-yen store can also be used to peel fruits without getting stuck..."
Kiyono Rin woke up from her coma, and her five senses gradually recovered. The smell of hospital disinfectant lingered in her nose, and what came into her ears was Watanabe Toru's mumbling, which she could not understand at all.
"Me, what's wrong?"
"Are you awake?"
When Kiyono Rin saw Watanabe Toru coming towards her with a peeled apple, she had no appetite to eat.
"Thank you, I don't..."
"Crack", a hole was bitten in the apple to make a logo.
"You're welcome. We just called an ambulance. Oh, by the way, the doctor said you're fine. You just have low strength and haven't had a good rest recently. Plus, you've been using your brain, and when you were exposed to the sun, you got heatstroke."
Toru Watanabe enjoyed the sweet juice and plump flesh of the apple.
Qingye Rin looked at the apple being eaten bite by bite and closed her eyes again.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else?"
“…”
"If you feel uncomfortable, be sure to tell me and I'll call a doctor for you." Toru Watanabe bit off another piece of apple.
“…”
"Fresh, juicy, and with a unique fragrance. I've only eaten apples like this in my hometown, freshly picked from the tree. Do you know? In my school, there is an old apple tree that has been there for more than 30 years. It bears green apples every year. Have you ever eaten a green apple? It's not sour, but very sweet..."
The whole ward was filled with the sound of "crunching" apples being eaten and Watanabe Toru's endless chattering of memories.
Qingye Rin felt dizzy and wanted to massage her temples with her hands, but she found that her dominant hand was receiving an IV drip, so she had to switch to the other hand.
Toru Watanabe ate the entire apple, threw away the core, and went to the bathroom to wash his hands.
"Would you like something to drink? A drink? I'll buy it for you." He asked while wiping his hands.
"apple."
"So you want to eat it? Didn't you just say no?"
Qingye Rin's face turned red and she asked in disbelief, "Did you do that on purpose?"
"Hahaha." Watanabe Toru laughed happily.
Qingye Rin suddenly covered her head with the quilt and pretended to be dead.
Once a person lies in a hospital bed, he or she will appear weak. If it were Qingno Rin in the activity room, he or she would definitely fight back with the sharpest words.
"But this guy is so cute, isn't he? Is he trying to seduce me by doing this with his nine-point charm? He must be, right?"
Toru Watanabe picked up another apple and began to peel it with a fruit knife.
"I bought this at a small stall in front of the hospital, not from one of those fancy fruit stores in Ginza. I didn't know if you're used to eating it." While buying fruit, he secretly disposed of the black underwear.
"Is there any difference?" Qingye Rin's voice, duller and weaker than usual, came from under the quilt.
"I can tell from the sound of you that you have no common sense." Watanabe Toru tried his best to keep his apple peel, "Do you know Ikebukuro Nishi-Ichibangai?"
This was his main consumption place before he obtained the system and started to eat Kujo Miki's clothes.
“No.”
"I don't think you'd go to that kind of place. When the locals hear the place name, they can imagine how shabby the fruits sold in the fruit shops there are. Of course, this is compared to the Ginza fruit specialty store. In fact, for ordinary people , the quality of the fruits is within an acceptable range."
“Why can we imagine it just by hearing the place name?”
"There are massage parlors, pornographic video halls and barbecue restaurants next to it. What do you think?"
"You went to a pornographic video hall." Qingye Rin said with certainty for some reason.
"Wrong. You got three out of four wrong. I don't know how you got first place in the school."
"It's because you left such a bad impression on me that I made the wrong choice."
"Yes, yes, I have peeled the fruit for you. Eat it, young lady." Toru Watanabe put down the fruit knife and handed over the peeled apple.
Qingye Rin poked her head out from under the quilt, and her face had returned to normal.
She took it with her delicate white hands, said thank you, and then took a bite of the apple with a little satisfaction.
The fruit peels in the trash can broke once, what a pity.
It seems that he still needs the fruit knife from the system mall to unleash his full strength. Watanabe Toru simply blames the cheap fruit knife from the 100-yen store.
After Kiyono Rin finished eating and wiped her hands with a wet towel, Watanabe Toru looked out the window.
The sun already has a bit of a sunset flavor.
"Since you're okay, I'll leave first." He stood up and prepared to leave.
"Well, okay. Thank you for troubling you today."
Toru Watanabe waved his hand, picked up the box containing the oboe on the sofa, and walked out of the ward.
