Tokyo Wingman King

After taking two steps, I noticed a little tail following behind me.

Asama stood still and turned to look at the sneaking Dai Mingjin.

Realizing that he had been discovered, Futami ran quickly with a smile and approached Asama.

"Does Mr. Jingshui have a second sight sensor radar?"

"Aren't you going to collect ingredients with Yukino?"

"Yukino-kun said he can do it alone~"

I didn’t ask you to be my wingman, Xueye!

"That's not good."

"It's not too much to believe my classmates~"

Erjian Da Mingshen is also the kind of person who is deeply closed-minded and stubborn. His series of communications with her have never shaken her mind.

Her own subtext doesn't deter her either.

I don't know since when, I have become accustomed to this, walking and chatting with Futami.

Perhaps since they met by chance at a convenience store and he agreed to go for a walk with Ermi, the development of this habit has become inevitable.

The sun and tree shadows were kissing her face, and the delicate skin without any graininess seemed to be a mixture of milk and honey, clouds and unknown luminous bodies. Asama once again thought of the word "Luminary".

For some reason, as evening approaches, the temperature turns out to be even hotter than at noon. In recent years, all scenic spots with average summer temperatures of around 20 degrees have lost their cool aura.

For most urbanites who are accustomed to staying in air-conditioned rooms, there is no difference between exposure to 35 degrees Celsius and 39 degrees Celsius.

Er Jian, who was not holding an umbrella, had sweat dripping from his forehead and neck.

"How about going back to the hotel and resting?"

"You want to help Jingshui-kun get some firewood, can't you?"

I thought that this sentence would be said in a pitiful tone, but seeing the girl looking at him calmly, Asama thought for a while, there was nothing to hide on this trip, so just go together.

Asama spent money to borrow a hand-pulled trailer with a rubber rope at a farmhouse. It made a clanging sound along the way, attracting the curious eyes of the boys.

Most of the tree-cutting work is done by the boys in the group. These young men, who rent axes or chainsaws, and under the guidance of the safety guards, happily head towards the economic forests that are allowed to be felled.

Only Asama saw the two of them going back to the native mountain forest.

The hand-pulled trailer was extremely noisy on the quiet forest road, and the musicians of nature tried their best to suppress the sound.

Listening to the sounds of the mountains and watching the unknown flowers blooming vigorously on the roadside, mixed with the familiar figures of purslane, foxtail grass, and motherwort, everything becomes as soft as petals.

I don’t know if it’s because of the second sight, but Asama, who has herbal medicine skills and a wide-ranging thirst for knowledge, has no desire to get closer and understand various unnamed flowers.

He was afraid that he couldn't help but pick one of them. He was afraid that the flower would eventually get stuck in Erjian's black and dry hair.

Since we had already decided to build a dike, we couldn't drill a hole in it ourselves.

The two of them walked about a kilometer. Erjian looked back at the scenery down the slope and asked,

"Which store are you going to buy firewood from, Jingshui-kun? Why do I feel like we're getting further and further away from the town?"

"Getting ready to buy some firewood from our classmates."

"???Is this still possible?"

"It's not robbery. The purchase can be regarded as a sincere encouragement."

Futami and Asama walked about twenty steps in silence, and the girl suddenly asked,

"So, Shizui-kun became Konoe-san's major shareholder, is it also to encourage her? Didn't he say that he hates Konoe-san?"

".Not to become hers, but to become a shareholder of [Daigo Bookstore]. This is part of the deal with the head of the Konoe family."

Asama felt that there was no problem in talking to Futami about these things, and he also talked about some more situations, including the prospects of the cultural and creative industry, the difficulties and transformation directions of physical bookstores, and even the deal that Konoe was considering, and he did not shy away from it.

Whenever she asked, he would answer.

It's just that he didn't talk about the Immortal River.

"Is Mr. Jingshui really the [Five Photographic Emperor Master]?"

"No, the person who gave me such an exaggerated title must be full of malice towards me."

"Then why not clarify this?"

"The cost of explanation is too high. If you participate in the other party's words, the other party will win no matter what the outcome."

"Did Rise-chan also receive a mission from the head of the Konoe family?"

"Probably, but I didn't ask. After all, this is her privacy."

Asama lied very naturally again.

"So, the mysterious buyer who bought the shares of the company that Dad has been unable to sell and united with the Togami family must also be Shizui-kun?"

".That's not me. You're thinking too much."

The second time I saw him I smiled lightly,
"Is that the agent entrusted by Lord Jingshui?"

If Komaba was around, he would definitely give Futami a thumbs up and admire the great god's insight into fire.

Asama could only continue,

"If I were so capable, I wouldn't let your company be handed over to others."

"But Jingshui-kun's other meaning is that he won't stand idly by and watch my affairs, right?"

"You can understand it this way. Faith to friends is like two sharp knives that can be inserted into my side at any time."

Futami smiled and said nothing, watching Asama continue to speak harshly.

She seemed to have some understanding of Asama's kindness towards her that transcended friendship and love. Unfortunately, this kindness was not unique to her.

People are always greedy.

Only by always alerting yourself to the possibility of losing it can you restrain your greed.

"Did Yuehai like forest school in the past?"

"No, I only like the forest school with Jingshui-kun. In other words, as long as there is Jingshui-kun, any school or any place will become cute."

Futami, who is too frank about his emotions, and his unabashed affection, can easily win over any boy, except Asama.

Erjian no longer engages in radical pursuits, but she has learned a lot of experience and will not give up the opportunity to get closer.

Just like the girl who confessed her love in the conference hall today was criticized, she also suffered the most slander among the girls in the love counseling department.

The way Chiyo Konoe looked at her on the cruise ship, she fully understood at this moment, that condescending look was full of contempt and disdain, and she was sure that there was also jealousy in this emotion.

Some people in the school felt that she was just wasting time and energy, and that Asama Shisui could not be conquered by someone like her.

[Let them think what they want. I don't intend to drown myself. I want to swim until all my strength is exhausted and then sink - these two are not the same. 】

Futami Tsukiumi believes that even if he spends his whole life chasing Asama Shizui, it must be worth it.

[In the past, because she was Futami Tsukiumi, she had the habit of being close to Asama Shizuzu; but now, because she has the habit of being close to Asama Shizuzu, she is Futami Tsukiumi. ]
Every night after taking a shower, when I look at myself in the full-length mirror, such thoughts will grow uncontrollably, becoming more lush, dense and vivid than the forests and flowers in Aomori. She does not agree with what Asama said about subjectivity. People never live in isolation. If they are far away from Asama's still water, what is the value of that liberation?

Maybe the better the person is, the more he likes to get into trouble.

In their eyes, Asama Shisui, behind the relaxation and ease, there is a mystery that attracts them even more.

The unique Asama Shisui, with her firm stance against love, is also like a mysterious land, waiting for them to explore the reason.

Erjian picked two small blue-purple flowers that were about to bloom from the flowers on the roadside. They had three petals, with purple hair as thin as hair and six golden stamens in the middle.

Asama recognized the type of flower - purple dew grass. This kind of flower is similar in color to iris. It is cold-resistant than ordinary flowers and plants and has tenacious vitality. It is not surprising that it thrives in the mountains and forests of Kitakyushu. But each flower is short-lived. It blooms on the same day and withers on the same day. It is also known as the Day flower abroad.

The Japanese are particularly fond of things that live and die. This kind of flower appears in "The Borrower Ariti".

The girl handed one of the flowers to Asama's hand.

"Jingshui-kun, do you recognize what kind of flower this is?"

"Purple dew usually blooms in the morning. I don't know why I still see this kind of flower at this time."

"Perhaps it has not withered yet, and the reason why there are exactly two flowers is just to wait for us to discover it?"

Futami showed surprise and looked at Asama with a lively expression.

"The flower language of this flower is [respect but not love], [short-term happiness], [self-love]."

"."

None of these flowery words were nonsense, and Qianjian felt that this might be the manifestation of the God of Rejection.

The two walked into the forest for another 10 minutes and arrived at an open area. A young man wearing brown gloves was biting a foxtail grass and leaning against a tree in a daze. The sound of a hand-pulled trailer in the forest was... caught his eye.

Next to him was a large pile of chopped firewood. The firewood was kept aside by Arima and was not confiscated.

The forests in Japan are all privately owned, and the student union has already paid enough money for logging, so even if the felling does not belong to the economic forest, one round of negotiation can avoid being held accountable.

"It's actually you."

The young man showed a wary expression.

Asama naturally knew this boy.

Ren Miura, who was outside the 500th grade, served as the acting class president of Class C for one year, a member of the service club, the anonymous rumor maker in some posts on the forum, and the guy who was dealt with by Ryuzaki and Komaba repeatedly.

“It’s a good idea to make money from lazy people, but it’s the wrong occasion.”

"cut--"

Miuraren spat out the dogtail grass in her mouth, glanced at Futami, and said with a smile,

"It seems like you have discovered my every move a long time ago. You must have ordered Hayazaki Ryuzaki and Seiichiro Yasaka to deal with me."

"I don't understand what you are talking about. Sell me the firewood earlier, and I have to go back to cook earlier."

"So, are you here to give me charity now?"

"I'm just a buyer who doesn't want to cut firewood. If you have any questions, ask Arima. The reason why he lets you continue selling this firewood is probably because he thinks it's not shameful for you to make money through labor. Yinghe is still improving the scholarship and bursary system. , even those with poor grades will have better work-study opportunities in the future.”

"How can a buyer know so many things? Oh, yes, give me 100 million. It took me an entire afternoon to chop these wood. You shouldn't be short of money, right?"

"You are not a seller, you are just a salesperson. The price has been set long ago. If you have any opinions, you can go back and ask your seniors."

"."

After Ren Miura failed continuously in the forum and the service department, this operation of the common people's mutual aid society was also a failure for him as a military advisor.

His Class C is not a monolithic group, but Shizumi Asama is able to tame everyone in Class A, which is full of geniuses.

It's completely unclear what he did. It's really strange that Konoe Chiyo willingly cooperated with Shisui Asama to build momentum for him.

He once again affirmed that Asama Shizui's undisclosed identity and wealth played a decisive role.

If not, why didn't Asama think this guy was powerful when he first showed his spear in June? But when everyone began to speculate about his extraordinary identity, he also felt that this Asama Shizumi was amazingly charming?

In that art class, Asama Shisui's speech on social structural issues impressed him. It was very different from the idle talk he had encountered in Yinghe.

If Asama was just a commoner, he wouldn't think anything of it.

It just so happens that someone with a status comparable to that of the Wu She family has such an insight that resonates with his thoughts.
This made him unwilling.

Eiwa as a whole, especially the first-year students, Hayato Ryuzaki who hindered him, and Seiichiro Yasaka who threatened him. These people who have some strength are all the minions of Shisui Asama.

I originally thought that Yinghe was a monster room, but I didn't expect that Asama Shizumi was a demon king who led the monsters.

When can I make my mark?
Or should we say that those who can only understand current affairs are regarded as heroes?

Miura Ren felt that if he bowed his head and bowed, Asama Shisui would despise him even more.

hateful.

It would be great if I could stand above millions of people as soon as I was born.

Asama didn't dwell on why Miura Ren, who had been causing trouble, looked ugly and was obviously hostile, but the transaction was particularly smooth.

Maybe you are really short of money?
I spent 20 yen to buy beech firewood, which is less than one cubic meter. The price is much higher than in Europe where there is an energy crisis.

It's a pity that the apple wood that tastes better for barbecue smoke was confiscated by the student union.

However, what benefits does this Miura Ren have to gain from targeting himself so much before?

Maybe he, like the News Department, just accepted Chiyo Konoe's top-up?
Asama struggled to pull the trailer, forgetting his worries. And Er Jian was behind, holding on to the rubber rope that held the firewood in place.

The firewood on this trailer weighs at least 500 kilograms, which is equivalent to three snowy fields.

Fortunately, the road was not very steep and he could barely withstand it.

He really admired the workers in his previous life who used simpler trailers to pull cement bricks.

He only worked hard for a while, but they may have to work hard for a lifetime.

Meeting the Great Ming Shen for the second time along the way was a big help.

[Complete Achievements - All roads lead to mules and horses
Obtained the title - Human Mule and Horse

Obtained characteristics: patience increased by 20%, ability to walk under load increased by 200%, disease resistance while working increased by 200%, resistance to being ridden increased by 100%. 】

Coupled with the late-night skills given by the system, what a natural choice to be a worker!

When Asama pulled the trailer and walked to the barbecue camp, he found that Ying and the young men who were not interested in logging were already standing in front of the piles of firewood, selecting barbecue materials.

Hinoki wood (Hinoki cypress) has an aroma that is more suitable for making furniture, apple wood is suitable for smoking meat, and hickory wood with high density and high calorific value. Everything is available.

There are even shaved wood chips suitable for starting fires, and charcoal that has been processed to burn less smoke.
The price is also very cheap, 1000 yen is enough to buy all the firewood needed for dinner barbecue.

Even though the charcoal in the store in a nearby town might be cheaper, Yinghe and the young men who were not short of money were not willing to walk an extra mile.

The student union sells these firewood to raise charity funds for the school.

So, Yoshihiko Arima, are you kidding me? (End of chapter)
