Chapter 156 Put on your swimsuits, high school girls.

[Kuriyama: @Tasaki, just popping in to say hi, you're still alive.]

[Ninomiya: Kiki, where did you go? And what about Kikawa-kun?]

[Kuriyama Sakura invites Kichikawa Yui to join the group chat]

[Kuriyama: @Tasaki @Sugawa, are you two together?]

[Ninomiya: Possibly. I haven't seen either of them since early this morning.]

[Kuriyama: This scumbag, I really want to chain him up!]

[Ninomiya: @TazakiKiki, hurry back to filming, it's already afternoon.]

[Tazaki: I'm not filming anymore!]

[Kuriyama: Oh, you're still alive?]

[Ninomiya: Why aren't we filming? What about the homework?]

[Tazaki: I meant we're not filming today. We still have a weekend, so we can take our time with the assignments.]

[Tazaki: @Kuriyama @Ninomiya, I'll send you an address, you guys take a taxi over and hang out together.]

[Kuriyama: What about your ex?]

[Tazaki: She's stepping on my neck with her foot.]

[Ninomiya: ???]

[Tazaki: Enough said, hurry up and save me, or she'll kill me.]

Putting down his phone, Tsukasa Tazaki buried his face deep in the pillow.

The small, white paws on its neck stomped down hard, and its owner asked coldly, "Have you decided how you want to die?"

Please let me die of pleasure...

Tsukasa Tazaki chuckled awkwardly. "Can't I avoid dying?"

"no!"

"Then I have nothing to say, please scatter my ashes in the Lingdingyang Ocean in China."

Qichuan Yui blinked, and after a long while, asked in confusion, "Why?"

"Since ancient times, who has ever escaped death? Let my loyal heart shine in history!" 743 years ago, Wen Tianxiang displayed his noble character and integrity on the Lingdingyang Sea, showing no fear of death. I want to commemorate him up close. Do you understand?

"I understand...no, I do understand..."

Kikawa Yui pondered deeply, her expression seemingly understanding yet not quite.

While she was distracted, Tsukasa Tazaki quietly grabbed her ankle and turned himself over.

The girl's soles were directly in front of his face, no more than two centimeters apart. She had just walked barefoot on the floor, leaving her once pink soles covered in dust, making them look patchy with white, pink, and gray.

Being stepped on in the face by such a foot would definitely be a very unpleasant experience.

Unless she washes herself clean!

Tsukasa Tazaki sniffed and said with disgust, "It's smelly and dirty. Quickly wash your feet clean."

Yui Kikawa snapped out of her daze and instantly pulled her foot back like a startled cat.

"I won't let you get away with this!"

After uttering a weak and feeble threat, the blonde girl immersed her feet in the bucket of water and scrubbed them vigorously with a towel.

Tsukasa Tazaki sat up straight and saw that half of her cheek was as red as a ripe tomato.

This is the first time I've seen her in such an awkward posture.

Surprisingly cute.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, even the strongest woman can't stand being told that she's smelly and dirty.

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon. The chirping of cicadas outside the window gradually weakened, and the room was quiet, creating a somewhat strange atmosphere.

Yui Kikawa dried the water off her feet and put her shoes back on.

Tsukasa Tazaki frowned as he looked at the injury on her knee: "Does it still hurt?"

"Can't die."

"I hope it won't leave a scar."

"It's not your leg, you don't need to worry about it."

Kikawa Yui buttoned up her polo shirt and walked straight out the door.

His tone was still the same barbed tone as before.

Tazaki Tsukasa couldn't help but mutter to himself, "I should have been fiercer just now."

With a complicated expression, he recalled the day's events, then burst into laughter. He clutched his stomach, laughing uncontrollably as if he had experienced the most amusing thing, and could only walk out the door while holding onto the wall.

The two lingered for a while in the gas station's rest area, eating their bento boxes while gazing at the shimmering sea. The bento boxes were loaded with oil and sugar, filled with greasy carbonated drinks.

Perhaps because they had been hungry all day, neither of them had time to talk, and the simple bento box, which cost 500 yen, tasted delicious.

A breeze blows, and the sound of the waves can be heard. Gazing into the distance, brightly colored surfboards appear and disappear on the crests of the waves.

In the small world bathed in the afternoon sunlight, Qichuan's heart was immersed in this moment of ease, his fingers tapping an unknown melody on the table.

The setting sun shone on her head, making the wreath woven from red and yellow flowers look especially beautiful.

After finishing his meal, Tsukasa Tazaki went to find the uncle who had given him the flower wreath earlier and said bluntly, "There are two more beautiful girls like her. So please, uncle, make me two more flower wreaths. I'm begging you, or I'll get yelled at to death."

Uncle: "..."

I really want to hit someone.

The sunlight gradually became gentler, and the clouds in the sky began to shimmer with an orange glow.

By the time we walked back along the coastal road to the beach we encountered along the way, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

The other two girls arrived first.

Upon seeing Tsukasa Tazaki, Shiori Ninomiya ran happily toward him, her knee-length white dress swaying, wearing tennis shoes. Her steps were small but full of energy.

"Kiki, what have you been doing all day?"

"Hmm... I ran a marathon."

"A marathon?" The little cutie tilted her head and looked at Qichuan Yui behind her: "Qichuan-kun, did you also run a marathon?"

So-and-so replied nonchalantly, "You could say that."

"The wreath on your head..."

"Pick it up."

"She's lying!" Tsukasa Tazaki bluntly exposed her, then lied on his own without batting an eye: "I made it up myself."

Qichuan Yui's eyes flickered as she began to think about how to make someone disappear without leaving a trace.

Shiori Ninomiya pouted: "You knitted it yourself and gave it to her?"

"You have one too."

"really?"

Tsukasa Tazaki helped Shiori Ninomiya put on the prepared flower wreath.

"Kiki is the best!"

The Hokkaido girl's voice was full of genuine emotion, which made Tsukasa Tazaki feel guilty for having deceived her so easily.

Turning his gaze away, Tsukasa Tazaki looked at Sakura Kuriyama.

She was wearing a white dress and a white sun hat. It was a bit windy, and the girl kept adjusting her hat to keep it from being blown away.

The figure stood quietly with an extremely upright posture, almost as if it were not there.

As Tsukasa Tazaki walked toward her, time seemed to slow down, and her image was vividly etched into his mind.

“Kuriyama-kun has one too.”

"Oh……"

Kuriyama Sakura looked uninterested, took off her hat, and tidied her hair.

Tsukasa Tazaki helped her put it on, and then explained in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Actually, it was made by the gas station attendant."

Are you afraid I'll tell your girlfriend?

Kuriyama Sakura put her hat back on and stared at him with a scrutinizing gaze.

That's just one of the reasons, and not a very important one.

What are the key reasons?

I don't want to lie to you.

"That statement is a lie."

"Haha."

She was wrong; Tsukasa Tazaki wasn't lying this time.

Fortunately, she didn't have the superpower to see if people were lying, otherwise she really wouldn't know how to explain it.

"Three beautiful girls, look this way."

Tazaki Tsukasa stood on a roadside sign, looking down at the three girls: "Since we're at the beach, how about we go for a swim together?"

"agree!"
