Chapter 104 Summer Training Camp: Was the Destination the Right One?

Tachikawa Yuki raised his head and brought his face so close that their noses almost touched to meet Takahashi Makoto's gaze.

After confirming each other's thoughts, the two pressed their lips together without hesitation.

Maya Uesugi witnessed the two kissing for the third time, and her mood was calmer than she had expected. She swept her indifferent gaze over the others.

Shiraishi Junka looked somewhat anxious, but she had just exhausted all her courage;

Hanakawa Kaori's eyes widened, her bright purple pupils seemingly unwilling to miss a single detail;

Nekoya Hina turned her face away and continued drinking her beer.

Kashima Reiko ate quietly all evening, perhaps still pondering a collaboration proposal;

"A mob," Uesugi Maya thought to herself.

It's not time to give up yet... Oh well, since they don't have the ability to try, let's just let them become family according to Makoto Takahashi's ideal.

"I believe that intimacy while clothed is proof of intimacy more than any other thing between lovers."

Yuki Tachibana sat back down, took out a handkerchief, and gently wiped the lipstick off Makoto Takahashi's lips: "But if Makoto-kun wants it, I can have it anytime."

"Tonight's celebration party isn't for you two to show off your love," Uesugi Maya said coldly, tapping the table with her fingers.

"Summer training camp, would anyone like to participate?"

Makoto Takahashi turned to the others with a calm gaze, observing their expressions.

Whether the planned training camp can be held smoothly is a timely feedback on the bonds formed in recent days, and also a test of the feelings of the people present.

His attitude was clear to everyone: an ideal family and an ideal girlfriend.

After losing a budding romance, one needs to decide whether to pursue family or pure friendship.

"Of course we have to go to the beach in the summer!"

Nekoya Hina downed a can of beer with gusto, and while Hanakawa Kaori wasn't looking, she quickly snatched her main course, a French lamb chop, with her fork: "The badminton club's training camp is in the mountains, and they've been training all the time."

She decided to continue her unrequited love and wait for the next period of time when she was single.

“Give it back to me, Haruna-nee.”

Hanakawa Kaori tried to snatch it, but because she was too short, Nekoya Hina blocked her with one hand: "Brother, Hina-neechan—"

"Order another one."

Kashima Reiko picked up the tablet computer used for ordering food from her side and handed it to Hanakawa Kaori. She looked up and met Tachimi Yuki's gaze, and said with a straight face, "Miss, I would like to participate in the training camp."

"Sure, after all, it's Lengzi."

Tachibana Yuki clapped her hands lightly, placed them on either side of her face, tilted her head, and said with a smile, "You won't be as stupid as Sayo, right?"

“…Hmm.” Kashima Reiko gave a vague response.

"As for the seaside, summer festivals are being held in various places recently, so hopefully it's a place where we can watch fireworks."

Hanakawa Kaori ordered two more servings of lamb chops. Looking up, she saw Nekoya Hina looking smug. She swallowed a mouthful of juice in a huff and said, "And there's beach barbecue too. If possible, I'd also like to play beach volleyball."

"It's too windy at the beach, so we can't play badminton," said Haruna Nekoya.

"I don't want to play badminton."

"Isn't Hanaori too short to play volleyball?"

"What the hell?!"

Hanakawa Kaori, unable to bear it any longer, slammed down her chopsticks and lunged forward to take Nekoya Hina down with her.

The two playfully wrestled together, creating a perfectly relaxed atmosphere.

Makoto Takahashi looked up and saw that Junka Shiraishi was still looking downcast. He struck up a conversation with her: "Speaking of the summer festival, no one wore a yukata last time. I feel like Junka would look really pretty in one."

"Scum." Uesugi Maya cursed coldly.

"Then let's go to my private beach in Kamakura."

Yuki Tachimi took over the conversation and made the decision: "There's a summer festival venue nearby, and the villa is big enough to stay in. I also wanted to take a few days off."

“Okay.” Shiraishi Junko raised her charming face to meet Takahashi Makoto’s gaze, nodded slightly, her eyes filled with ambiguity.

Makoto Takahashi coughed lightly, looked away, and was about to chat with Yuki Tachimi when Maya Uesugi put down her chopsticks and slowly stood up.

"Come with me for a moment."

After saying that, she turned and walked towards the courtyard.

"I'm going to get some fresh air."

Makoto Takahashi said something to Yuki Tatsumi, then looked at the eager Junka Shiraishi and nodded, saying, "Let's join in."

With Maya Uesugi present, Yuki Tatsumi wasn't worried about anything out of line happening between him and Junka Shiraishi.

The gaze of Hell Girl is enough to kill any ambiguity.

"Yinna, may I call you that? Thank you for being willing to be friends with Makoto-kun."

Tachimi Yuki greeted Nekoya Hina politely, and the latter, also wanting to build a good relationship with her, pulled Hanakawa Kaori closer:

"Likewise, Ah Cheng is grateful for your help."

"Your hair is so pretty and cute, can I touch it? What brand of conditioner do you use?"

Hanakawa Kaori was also good at creating a lively atmosphere. After shaking off Nekoya Hina's hand, she quickly took the seat that Takahashi Makoto had just occupied.

Bright lights illuminated the eaves, and Uesugi Maya, barefoot on the wooden floor, arrived at the elegantly landscaped courtyard. The bright moonlight shone down, and the small white pebbles in the center of the courtyard resembled a pool of light.

"You're too idealistic, I've told you that many times."

She suddenly stopped, turned to face Makoto Takahashi, and gestured with her eyes to Junka Shiraishi behind him, her beautiful eyes clearly reflecting the coldness in her heart.

Unlike his usual indifference, this gaze was devoid of any warmth.

"Lijian is not the girlfriend you're looking for, and she can't be the family you're looking for either. Look behind you, and you'll see that besides melancholy, she also has ambition in her eyes."

Hearing Uesugi Maya's merciless rebuke, Takahashi Makoto smiled and met her gaze with a serious look: "Maya, do you like me?"

In the stillness of the night, the evening breeze rustled through the bamboo grove in the courtyard.

A few minutes later, Makoto Takahashi sighed and turned to face the courtyard: "I'm glad I could say it in person."

"Heh." Uesugi Maya crossed her arms and sneered disdainfully, but secretly she felt a little envious.

"Whether I can achieve my ideal or not, I should at least try. Besides, I feel that I can rely on you; I've always felt that you are trustworthy."

"Tsk, I told you I would stop at nothing, including taking advantage of your trust."

"That's true, but you understand that teaming up with Senior Lengzi and cutting her off again won't work, right?"

After Hanakawa Kaori informed Takahashi Makoto, he immediately guessed this possibility.

This would be very detrimental to the band's relationship. If Maya Uesugi really did this, the band that Makoto Takahashi envisioned would be riddled with cracks.

Understanding the implication in his words, Uesugi Maya pinched the bridge of her nose in exasperation.

This was the first time the two had engaged in such a frank conversation, which perfectly illustrates Makoto Takahashi's attitude: harmonious interpersonal relationships within the band must be maintained.

They may not approve of Tachibana Yuki as their girlfriend, but they must maintain respect for the other members.

"I understand, I will work with you in this direction."

Maya Uesugi toyed with the ends of her hair and said in a calm voice, "But I will not give up on my goal. If you fail, I will immediately act according to my own ideas, and I will not care about your will at that time."

"Chunke, what do you think?"

Makoto Takahashi turned to face Junka Shiraishi and said in a gentle tone, "If you don't absolutely need me, we can be friends and travel together. To be honest, I can't be sure how you feel right now."

Although a lot had happened between the two, he had no idea what Shiraishi Junka's true feelings were, compared to Tachimi Yuki.

Since they met, their relationship has remained superficial.

From the perspective of someone who currently has a girlfriend, a clear boundary must be drawn between the two of them.

"Would I be happy if I didn't feel pain from being dumped?"

Shiraishi Junko's question surprised both Takahashi Makoto and Uesugi Maya.

In those moist, wine-red eyes, a soft, irresistible force slowly eroded his heart, plunging Takahashi Makoto into silence and giving Uesugi Maya an unprecedented sense of crisis.

"Chunke, it's better to be a little selfish in times like this."

"Please consider your own feelings."

The two spoke one after the other. Shiraishi Junka smiled weakly and said in a gentle voice, "I will listen to you."

Makoto Takahashi swallowed hard, feeling a little embarrassed, because Maya Uesugi's gaze was like a thorn in his back, condemning him as scum.

Why has it developed into what it is now?

Even though nothing special had happened between herself and Shiraishi Junka.

Standing on the quiet veranda, bathed in moonlight, Shiraishi Junka leaned close to Takahashi Makoto's ear and whispered something in his ear.

"It has to be you... Please feel free to do as you please... I won't commit violence against anyone else..."

terrible.

Makoto Takahashi had only one thought in his mind: a heavy wave of emotion crashed over him, plunging anyone who wanted to surf into the deep sea.

"Go back." He walked past Shiraishi Junka.

Maya Uesugi barely heard her, but still gave Junka Shiraishi a meaningful look: "Perhaps what you need is a psychiatrist. Not all artists are mentally unstable."

Faced with her icy gaze, Shiraishi Junko remained silent and avoided the gaze.

8 month 15 day.

Upon waking up, Makoto Takahashi's first thought was of Junka Shiraishi.

Staring at the ceiling, I thought of her unwavering, wine-red eyes, her black hair exuding a sweet scent, her delicate, snow-white skin under the moonlight, her alluring face, and her firm, supple body...

"Everything was prepared for you."

"I can be manipulated at will, no matter what kind of atrocity it is."

His mind, still half-asleep, seemed unable to comprehend the meaning of these words. Makoto Takahashi sat up in bed, drew back the curtains, and suddenly felt a kind of bewitching disorientation.

My heart was racing involuntarily, and I felt a restlessness deep in my throat.
