Chapter 274 Boys' High School Students Are Still Easier to Foole
By the time they returned to the hostel, night had fallen. Most of the students had already washed up and changed into their favorite clothes.

Although everyone says they don't care about what others think and don't need to show themselves in front of others.

However, on such occasions, everyone will wear their favorite clothes, dressed up like a peacock spreading its tail feathers.

Kazama Sakura was dressed simply, in a dark shirt and tall, slim-fit jeans.

Her seemingly ordinary, even somewhat homebody-like, outfit looks like a model trying on clothes on her, and her unique charm naturally emerges.

She tied her hair up in the high ponytail that Tsukino Gen was most familiar with. With her tall figure, was she a proud wild horse or a noble sika deer?
Good evening~ Hey, this outfit looks great, I've never seen you wear it before.

Kazama Sakura saw the boy in the white long T-shirt walking over, his eyes narrowed like crescent moons as he openly sized him up.

The atmosphere between the two, which had a bit of the feel of an old married couple, was something most of their classmates had gotten used to.

"Oh, the young lady bought it."

Gen Tsukino spoke the truth, since he would be running into Rin Asagiri soon, and it would be awkward if he lied and was immediately exposed.

For Gen Tsukino, there are no white lies or malicious lies.

The difference between lies lies in how long they can deceive.

"No wonder you have such good taste; it doesn't seem like you bought it yourself."

Kazama Sakura was not angry at all; instead, she covered her mouth and chuckled.

The boy paused for a moment, then came to his senses. "What do you mean? Do you mean I have bad taste?"

"You don't just have bad taste, you have absolutely no taste. It's all black and white. What kind of clothes are you wearing?"

Such words were certainly not spoken by Kazama Sakura.

The girl who slowly appeared behind him wasn't dressed in a particularly dignified or elegant manner. She wore a light-colored short-sleeved T-shirt and denim shorts, with over-the-knee socks and a thin but loose long trench coat over them.

She looks quite pretty, but it's easy to not know whether she feels cold or hot.

"Bullshit, I'm too lazy to dress up in fancy clothes. It's too tiring to think about what to wear every day, I'd rather keep it simple."

Gen Tsukino replied irritably.

Without any polite greetings, Asagiri Rin and Kazama Sakura automatically stood on the same side, giving the impression that they had joined forces.

What Anglo-French allied forces?
It has no deterrent effect whatsoever; it's just a way to gather people.

Sakura Kazama couldn't help but laugh and said, "Does adding a little more color make it gaudy? But it's alright, at least with Gen's face here, it doesn't really matter what he's wearing."

"So you mean, are you wearing nothing at all?"

Asagiri Rin unleashed indiscriminate, full-force attacks.

The girl blushed, "How could you say that!"

"Look at your blushing face. I think you're not shy, you're just smug."

"This is a lie! This is a lie!"

"Alright, alright, students, if you're all ready, let's go to the assembly point. It's getting late, so please don't wander off and cooperate with the teachers' instructions."

The sound of Sakuraba Yuki gathering people could be heard over there.

Gen Tsukino looked at the two of them and said, "Why don't you two continue chatting? I'll head over first."

"Tch, it's like you absolutely have to come with me."

Asagiri Rin strode forward, passing over the boy's shoulder. This girl, who never wanted to be second to anyone, always kept her pride in check.

I went with the two people, and we set off quickly after arriving at the meeting point.

Not far from the hostel, it should be considered part of this large scenic area, specifically for camping and dining.

A large grassy area has a designated activity area paved with bricks.

Under the dark sky, it wasn't just the streetlights that were lit up; there were also white and blue colored lights all around.

It looks like a perfect venue for birthdays and confessions of love.

Several small bonfires had already been set up in the area, which disappointed Tsukino Gen.

"Is this small bonfire really considered a bonfire party?"

Kazama Sakura chuckled and said, "Does it have to be on the scale of a medieval witch-burning to count? Eh? Doesn't that sound a bit like hell?"

Asagiri Rin glanced at Kazama Sakura, "I think it's just that someone's pretense of innocence is finally coming to an end."

"Asagiri seems to be in a lot of a temper today."

Sakura Kazama wasn't angry at being told that, because she now understood that when this girl was being sarcastic, it meant she at least didn't want to hurt her.

Gen Tsukino nodded. "It's probably because autumn has arrived and the weather is quite dry."

"You two?"

Asagiri Rin frowned.

Kazama Sakura smiled and leaned closer to affectionately take the young lady's arm.

"Hehe, okay, don't be angry. The point of going out is to have fun. I heard there's a barbecue and entertainment tonight."

Asagiri Rin rolled her eyes.

I really want to say that I wasn't angry with anyone; this is just my way of speaking. She certainly can't learn to speak politely and courteously, nor is it necessary.

But never mind, I'm too lazy to explain.

Judging from their smiling faces, they probably don't care at all.

Soon the so-called bonfire party began.

Genji Tsukino realized that they had hired someone to grill food for them. It was similar to teppanyaki and monjayaki; regardless of the quality of the ingredients, the sizzling aroma was undeniably tempting.

There were quite a few students sitting in the venue, and it's unclear how many people were hired to handle the workload.

They even invited some local performance groups to sing and dance local folk songs and custom dances.

The atmosphere is good.

Just
"Why does this feel like a village party to me?"

Even Sakura Kazama, who is usually very good at flattering others, couldn't hold back and asked softly while eating.

Asagiri Rin didn't eat much; the oily, smoky food didn't suit her taste.

"You just found out? Hurry up and finish your food and go back to rest. Is it really that delicious? Or do you want to go up and dance a song?"

Kazama Sakura looked around at the lively atmosphere. With so many people in the dark, it looked like a temple fair in the middle of the night.

"What about Ah-Xian?"

Kazama Sakura listened to the boy's opinion.

Tsukino Gen said nonchalantly, "If you guys are bored, you can go back first. I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll just sit here for a bit."

The main problem is that Miura Akihiko and Suzuki keep sending me messages, but they don't dare to come and call me, so it's really not convenient for me to leave now.

Kazama Sakura looked at Asagiri Rin.

The young lady, who had long been bored, immediately stood up. "Let's go, don't you need to use the restroom?"

"I really do want to."

"Then come to my place. I'm bored right now, you can go back to your room later."

"Eh? Is it really okay?"

Kazama Sakura asked with some surprise.

Gen Tsukino found these words a bit strange. The second half of the sentence didn't seem to be directed at Sakura Kazama; rather, it sounded like it was implying something to himself.

Tell yourself that Sakura Kazama will go back later, and that will be a good time for you to go over there.
No, who said they were going!

"Sure, shall we go?"

Kazama Sakura looked at Tsukino Gen with a troubled expression.

The boy smiled and said, "It's okay, just be careful. Remember to let Sakuraba-sensei know in advance."

"Mmm~ You're the best! Have fun!"

Asagiri Rin scoffed, "Does he need you to worry about him? He'll probably be the happiest person when we get back."

"That's what you said."

"How could you possibly be unhappy?" "Can't I be happy anytime, anywhere?"

"Humph."

Asagiri Rin and Kazama Sakura left side by side.

Before Tsukino Gen could even get up to look for the two, Miura Akihiko and Suzuki sneaked over.

"gone?"

"Probably gone."

"You two are trying to break me out of prison? Is it really necessary?"

Tsukino Gen said with a laugh.

Miura Akihiko and Suzuki finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down.

"I couldn't help it, I didn't want to disturb your good time. But how did you convince them? Won't they be angry?"

Tsukino Gen said irritably, "They went back because they thought it was boring, it has nothing to do with me."

The two exchanged a glance. "Is it boring? I think it's alright. Akiyama-kun is going to perform a dance later!"

"Akiyama?"

Gen thought for a moment and vaguely remembered her; she seemed to be a fair-skinned girl with long legs in her class who specialized in dance and had a good presence. However, with Sakura Kazama in the class, she had no advantage whatsoever.

Therefore, I don't have much of an impression of Tsukino Gen.

"Yeah, this should be much better than the current shows, right? The auntie sings really well, it's just that I don't appreciate this kind of art."

Miura Akihiko remarked with emotion.

Suzuki nodded, "I'm just an ordinary person, I only look at what's common."

"Just say you want to see something suggestive."

Gen Tsukino took a sip of the drink beside him.

Miura Akihiko thought for a moment, "Actually, there are things I'd like to see even more than just borderline content."

"what?"

Suzuki looked over curiously.

Miura Akihiko said seriously, "Tsukino went up and did two big floor moves."

"No hard floorboards, how about a slap in the face?"

Gen Tsukino rolled his eyes and said.

"Hahahahaha!"

The two boys burst into laughter, both childishly and in unison.

It's clear that these two people don't have any bad intentions; they can't even come up with a prank.

Just then, Tsukino Gen's ears twitched; it seemed that there were many footsteps approaching from all around.

He didn't make any rash moves, and then he heard a sound behind him.

"Hey, Tsukino!"

Turning around, I saw several unfamiliar boys with rather unfriendly expressions appear behind me. Not only did they appear, but they were also carrying several large beverage bottles. Could they be some kind of liquid bomb? Surely not, buddy.

Tsukino Gen glanced at them. "Who are you?"

"We're in Class 1! The same class as Asagiri Rin!"

Before Tsukino Gen could even speak after hearing what the other person said, he was already speaking.

Miura Akihiko and Suzuki, who were standing nearby, stood up.

"What do you want? You think you can cause trouble with just this few people?"

Their tone was impolite, and Miura and Suzuki were naturally equally impolite, as for why they were so confident.

Besides Tsukino Gen being right next to them, there were so many people around, including teachers, that it was naturally unacceptable for a conflict to break out.

The tall boy at the head of the group snorted, "We don't mean to cause trouble. We just want to challenge Tsukino Gen-kun and see if you have the guts. Otherwise, we won't approve of your behavior of confessing to Asagiri-kun and Kazama-kun at the same time."

"you."

Suzuki and Miura were about to speak.

Gen Tsukino grabbed them, then used the momentum to stand up, lazily watching the group of boys.

"What terrible things will happen if you don't approve?"

".Well."

"this."

The situation became somewhat awkward for a moment.

Clearly, they simply left school and gained a delusional sense of courage, then acted impulsively out of jealousy and envy, without ever considering the consequences.

However, Tsukino Gen found these surprised faces quite amusing.

"However, I can accept your challenge. Tell me what the challenge is?"

The boys looked at each other in bewilderment. How did things suddenly take a turn for the better?
I was almost speechless. How could he have delivered himself to my doorstep?

After thinking for a moment, the group took out their beverage bottles.

"If you drink them, it means I approve of you!"

"liquor?"

Gen Tsukino saw right through it.

"how do you know?"

The boy in the lead asked in surprise.

Without saying a word, Tsukino Gen took it directly from his hand, and instead of opening it, asked him a question.

"What will you do if I finish it all? You're all men, are you brave enough to accept my bet?"

"Of course, no problem! As long as you dare!"

Clearly, teenagers of this age are easily lured in with a little provocation, making them the easiest group to deceive.

"very good."

Gen Tsukino smiled and looked at everyone. "How about this, after I finish my drink, you all perform the Little Swan Ballet in front of all the classmates?"

"hiss"

A collective gasp rippled through the crowd.

Some people were discouraged because of the boy's attitude.

"Maybe we should forget about it. I've been thinking about it, but the teacher doesn't allow us to drink alcohol."

However, the boy in the lead was already blushing from Tsukino Gen's provocative gaze.

With his neck outstretched, he said, "What are you afraid of? Can he really finish it? Let me tell you in advance, this isn't ordinary beer. This is craft beer with an average alcohol content of over seven degrees. You'd better think twice!"

"Stop talking nonsense, will you agree or not?"

Gen Tsukino didn't even bother to smell what it smelled like.

The boy couldn't take it anymore.

"Drink it now! I promise!"

"very good."

Watching Tsukino Gen leisurely open the bottle cap of his drink.

Suzuki whispered worriedly in Miura Akihiko's ear, "Will everything be alright? I checked... there are five huge bottles! Even if it's not craft beer, drinking it all in one go would be tough, wouldn't it?"

Akihiko Miura shook his head with a sigh, "That's all I can say to you, just wait and record a video of their ballet performance."
