My daily life in love is too contrary to my character.

He's still a slow-to-warm-up type of kid; after all, when he first moved in, Shiraishi Sawa was very quiet and reserved.

"Takanashi, come with me." Shiraishi Sawa patted Takanashi Yuuko on the shoulder and said to her.

"What's wrong? Where are you going?"

"Get in the bridal sedan chair!" Shiraishi Zexiu nodded to the unused bridal sedan chair in front and began to call out to the other neighbor uncles, "Uncle Fukai, Uncle Utsumi, Uncle Oura, it's time to carry the bridal sedan chair. I've already picked out the people for you to get in."

Hideaki Shiraishi grabbed Yuko Takanashi's hand, raised it high, and waved it.

"Is it really appropriate for me to do this?"

"There's nothing wrong with it. A bridal sedan chair isn't something only gods can ride in. In ancient China, girls from well-off families would ride in bridal sedan chairs when they got married. I'll just play the role of your servant!"

"I see..."

Takanashi Yuuko let Shiraishi Sawa do as she pleased, and did not object as she watched Shiraishi Sawa grab her hand. Seeing this, all the neighbors around them began to agree.

"Here it comes, here it comes, little bird, you're getting into the sedan chair."

Yuuko Takanashi got into the bridal sedan chair and soon felt sounds coming from all four sides of it. Then her perspective was pulled up.

A round of applause erupted from the surrounding area.

Amid applause, the bridal sedan chair began to circle the small open space. Watching the apartment scenery rise and fall and sway before her eyes, Takanashi Yuuko's thoughts began to wander.

Shiraishi should be positioned to my left front, right?

It would be even better if he were standing in front to greet me.

After walking around twice, the bridal sedan chair was lowered. Shiraishi Sawa helped Takanashi Yuko down, and then it was the turn of other interested aunties to ride in it. Shiraishi Sawa and the uncles took turns carrying the sedan chair around and around.

After everyone who wanted to sit had taken their seats, they finally put down the sedan chair and began to rest.

Several uncles who had learned dragon dancing then began their performance.

The extras weren't long, because there were only three people who could dance, so they couldn't perform too many fancy moves, but everyone still enjoyed watching it.

Finally, the applause not only came from inside, but also echoed from outside.

Everyone turned around and saw that it was the "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons," and they were currently passing through this area.

Shuten-dōji, Tamamo-no-Mae, Yuki-onna...

Various famous Japanese ghosts and monsters are present here.

Shiraishi Sawa was wondering if he would get beaten up if he dressed up as Sun Wukong tonight and shouted "Demon, where are you going!" whenever he saw a ghost.

I suppose so.

I'll just keep thinking about it and not try it.

"My true nature is about to be exposed."

"What's wrong, Shiraishi-kun?" Takanashi Yuko asked, puzzled.

"When the yin energy gets a little stronger, I'll soon evolve into a lustful demon. When I see a beautiful girl like you, I'll rush up and do indescribable things."

“Pfft,” Takanashi Yuko laughed, “Shiraishi-kun, you don’t seem to have anything to do with perverts, do you? I heard about you never having been in a relationship as soon as I came to Meikawa Middle School.”

"Who do you think you are?" It's all this damn system's fault. "We're evenly matched, Takanashi, you've never even been in a relationship!"

Takanashi Yuuko stuck out her tongue, completely unconcerned.

"No, I have to tell you a few ghost stories to put your temper down!" Shiraishi Sawa pulled Takanashi Yuko back to the picnic mat and sat down.

Several older women gathered around again, wanting to see what Shiraishi Zexiu wanted to say.

However, some people then turned pale and left, patting their chests.

Because Shiraishi Sawa's ghost stories are neither about Japan nor the lengthy Chinese style, but rather like "The Sound of High Heels Outside the Dormitory" and "Back to Back," which are sudden and startling.

Accompanied by the boy's vivid speech, the unexpected and chilling plot developments caught everyone off guard and easily frightened them.

However, Takanashi Yuuko didn't seem scared, which made Shiraishi Sawa Hide somewhat frustrated.

After recounting four or five more, having exhausted all the information he had in his mind, Shiraishi Sawa asked dejectedly:

"Takashi, are you completely unafraid of ghosts?"

"Yes, I'm scared. I'm actually quite afraid of ghosts," Yuko Takanashi nodded.

“You’ve gone astray, you’ve gone astray, Takanashi, you’re starting to lie to me,” Shiraishi Sawa looked around at the audience who had been there a lot but were now all gone, and said, “Look, all the uncles and aunts were scared away by me, but you said you were scared, but you’re perfectly fine.”

"But since it's you, Shiraishi-kun, who told the ghost story, I won't be too scared..."

"Damn it, I don't know whether to be happy or cry." Shiraishi Sawashu had serious doubts about his ghost story skills.

Takanashi Yuuko looked at the boy, wondering if she should pretend to be scared.

However, whatever comes out of the other person's mouth, I feel it's all good.

It makes you want to keep listening.

"Whoosh! Snap!"

On the open ground, the fireworks that everyone had prepared began to light up the sky.

Because it is a residential area and there is no river like the Sumida River nearby, problems cannot be dealt with in a timely manner. Therefore, the scale of fireworks allowed is very small, and it is nothing like the grandeur and beauty seen at the Sumida River Tanabata Festival.

But everyone was still laughing happily.

During the event, everyone danced the Bon Odori together. Shiraishi Sawa Hide's dancing skills are slightly lacking, but he still clumsily followed along.

After the fireworks display, everyone continued eating and drinking.

Takanashi Yuuko chatted with her neighbor aunties and casually asked them for tips on sweater making.

Shiraishi Zexiu had already joined the group of older men, playing drinking games with them.

The law does prohibit Shiraishi Zexiu from drinking, but nobody says anything, so who knows?

"drink!"

When it comes to drinking, the uncles showed no leniency whatsoever just because Shiraishi Zexiu was a minor. On the contrary, they were the ones who urged Shiraishi Zexiu to drink the most whenever he lost.

Shiraishi Sawa, who had a good tolerance for alcohol, was naturally fearless and readily downed glass after glass of wine.

Seeing that Yuuko Takanashi was looking at him with some concern, Hideaki Shiraishi gave her an 'OK' sign and asked:

"Takayuki, do you want to come over and play drinking games?" Because it wasn't just men drinking; there were also a few aunties drinking next door, but they were all being gentler. "Don't be afraid to lose, I'll drink for you if you lose!"

"Thank you very much, but I'd better not drink. But you, Shiraishi, be careful not to drink too much, don't end up like Uncle Oura."

Hiroaki Oura drank too much and was the first to pass out. His wife helped him home, and he'll probably be subjected to a lot of 'laughter' from his neighbors and friends tomorrow.

"Impossible. If you ask me, Uncle Dapu—no, what do you uncles think?"

Shiraishi Sawa's remarks were unanimously echoed by those who were still sober.

“That’s true, but Shiraishi, I’ll pass that on to Oura tomorrow, and let’s see what you do then,” an uncle chimed in with a laugh.

"No, Uncle Yamamoto, come on, I'll punish myself with a drink!"

"Hahahahahaha..."

--

It was nearly 10:30, and the men had drunk quite a bit. Several of them had already passed out, and even Shiraishi Zexiu was starting to feel dizzy.

The women had almost finished chatting, and it was time to wrap things up.

Shiraishi Sawa and Takanashi Yuko ignored their aunt and uncle's advice and stayed to help clean up the trash before going home.

“Although I’m a little dizzy, Takanashi, you really don’t need to keep supporting me like this. I’m not so badly dizzy that I’d fall over while walking,” Shiraishi Sawa said to Takanashi Yuko.

“No, people who are dizzy don’t know how dizzy they are,” Takanashi Yuko emphasized, without letting go of Shiraishi Sawa’s arm.

"Go back and take a shower and go to bed. Do you want to shower first or should I?" Seeing that Takanashi Yuuko said this, Shiraishi Sawa Hide didn't insist and asked.

"You go first, take a shower and go to bed. I'll make you some honey water to help you sober up."

"Thank you very much. Like I said, whoever marries you is truly blessed for the rest of their life."

"Go wash up quickly!"

Yuko Takanashi stared blankly at Shiraishi Sawa's retreating figure as he walked into the bathroom.

The neighbor's front style, actually sounds pretty good.

Chapter 177 They are all people who are afraid of fainting (4600)

Shiraishi Sawa finally got what he wanted and lived a happy, otaku life for quite a long time.

Aside from morning exercise, I haven't left home.

Back when I was soaking in a hot spring, I was really tempted when I saw my classmates discussing going swimming together.

Now: Swimming? Even dogs wouldn't go!

Once the life of a couch potato begins, it's easy to become addicted to it.

Not only myself, but also my classmates are like this, so the so-called swimming is still just talk.

The group members spent several days discussing and came up with a complete and wonderful plan. Everything was ready, except for someone to put it into action.

This person has not yet appeared.

We did watch the fireworks display, together with Yuko Takanashi.

The TV screen wasn't very big, so I didn't enjoy watching it as much as I wanted, but thankfully the popcorn was delicious.

The two sang a symbolic duet of "Uchiage Hanabi" to enhance the sense of ceremony, although it was not as good as the male vocal part sung by Shiraishi Sawa.

Takanashi Yuuko has indeed been very busy lately, often going out to play. Sometimes she goes shopping with her female classmates, buys clothes and watches movies. However, the person she spends the most time with when going out is Kuramochi Sakura, who sees her every few days.

Although Kuramochi Sakura invited Shiraishi Sawa Hide every time, he didn't really have that kind of worldly desire and chose to stay at home peacefully, euphemistically saying: to take care of Mimi.

The benefit of doing this is that Mimi is now very attached to him, and it will come over as soon as Shiraishi Sawa beckons.

Previously, this reaction only occurred when someone called "Yuko".
