They all have hidden attributes!

I've recommended all the light novels I personally like in this book, such as "Playful Relationship" and "Himuro-kun, Who Says One Thing and Means Another."

Finally, I request initial subscriptions and follow-up subscriptions.

The most important thing right now is data. Besides following the readers, it's the first subscription. The first subscription almost determines a book's future potential, and each one is very important.

The current environment for writing romance novels is really hard to describe, so... ah, I'm a little embarrassed to say it.

I did the math, and if I update 20 words a month, the subscription fee is about 10 yuan per month. It will be even cheaper if there are recharge promotions. I hope everyone will support me.

Special offer·Spring shower

Saturday, October 7.

Izu, Shuzenji Temple.

Night fell silently over the town, and the hot spring inn was illuminated with warm, bright lights.

The girls, their delicate bare feet treading on wooden clogs, walked through the corridor and arrived at the misty hot spring.

Nekoya Hina eagerly jumped in, the splashing water drawing a reproachful look from her black-haired upperclassman behind her.

"Hina, this isn't a swimming pool."

Rina Amamiya first half-squatted down, carefully put her feet into the hot spring, and slowly sat down: "Kaori, you're not allowed to jump either."

"What does it matter? We've booked the whole place anyway."

Hina Nekoya smiled brightly, but when she turned around and saw that the bath towel covering Rina Amamiya's ample bosom seemed to be floating, her expression suddenly froze.

She sat down silently, lowered her shoulders to the water's surface, and said to the girl with the short bob haircut named Kaori, "Kaori, come and help me isolate Rina-senpai."

"Rina and I are in the same group."

Kaori Aida straightened her back smugly and sat down next to Rina Amamiya: "Unless Hina tells me Takahashi-san's home address."

She believes that creating chance encounters is a better way than sending a friend's letter.

If it weren't for Hina Nekoya's interference and the high intensity of the badminton club's training, Kaori Aida would definitely have followed them.

"What? I don't know where Acheng lives either."

Hina Nekoya glared at her angrily, then her gaze suddenly drifted to Rina Amamiya, and she said unhappily, "Rina-senpai, it's your last year participating in the tournament, but lately you've been concerned about Makoto's affairs."

Hearing this, Rina Amamiya lowered her eyes shyly, a noticeable blush rising on her cheeks: "I feel like Takahashi-senpai is getting more and more handsome lately..."

The gradually timid voice sounded like love at first sight.

"Takahashi-kun is not only good-looking."

Kaori Aida held up her finger, her face beaming with excitement as she recounted her achievements: "She's in the top 100 in the country, excels in archery, and has artistic talent. The only time I ever crossed paths with someone like that was during our school days."

"If I can't win over such an outstanding young man, what's the point of my life as a young woman?"

She mixed in a few words of Kansai dialect because she was excited, and at the same time cast a suspicious look at Hina Nekoya: "Hina, don't you have any thoughts at all? Everyone knows that Takahashi-san only plays with you."

"It's so enviable."

Rina Amamiya also adopted a suspicious expression, her eyes instantly lighting up with gossip: "Hey, Hina, you've never said how you met Takahashi-senpai. Was it just because you're in the same class?"

"This one—"

Hina Nekoya submerged her chin in the hot spring. After a while, she looked up at the star-studded night sky, her thoughts drifting back to spring three months ago.

On Monday afternoon, April 6, a light rain suddenly began to fall in Tokyo.

The once clear sky darkened in a matter of seconds, and with a "pitter-patter" sound, water droplets covered the entire windowpane.

Having just finished his archery practice, Makoto Takahashi walked through the corridor to the public umbrella lending area on the first floor of the special building, only to find that all the umbrellas had been borrowed. Helpless, he returned to the teaching building.

At the public umbrella rental station near the shoe lockers, the last umbrella had just been taken by a girl with long chestnut hair.

That's a bit unlucky.

As he walked to the front of the teaching building, he looked up at the huge rain clouds in the sky, and the smell of damp earth filled his nostrils.

Beside her, Hina Nekoya, who had just opened her umbrella, turned her head and blinked.

Yay! It's my classmate Takahashi!

The only boy in Group C of Year 1, and a super handsome one at that, I just don't know what his personality is like...

He doesn't have an umbrella; he seems a bit pitiful.

School just started today. If I catch a cold from getting caught in the rain on my way home, I'll have to take leave tomorrow and won't be able to integrate into my new class.

After convincing herself, Hina Nekoya smiled brightly and asked, "Takahashi-san, want to share an umbrella?"

Are you talking to me?

Makoto Takahashi turned his head to meet her brown eyes, moved away to create some distance, and remained silent.

Normal people wouldn't share an umbrella with a complete stranger, would they?

He scrutinized the girl in front of him. Her school uniform jacket was tied around her waist. This kind of outfit seemed to be called "gyaru" (gal) style in Tokyo.

He looks familiar, but he's probably a strange person.

Makoto Takahashi moved another step further away, causing Hina Nekoya to tilt her head with a confused expression, somewhat unable to understand: "Huh? Why are you moving away? You'll get wet if you don't use an umbrella."

She tried to close the distance, holding her umbrella over Makoto Takahashi's head, and said in a light tone, "I'm Haruna Nekoya from Class 1-C, and I'm sitting right next to you."

There were many things to do on the first day of school, such as the opening ceremony, club activities, and of course, self-introductions, but Makoto Takahashi paid no attention to them at all.

He only realized how familiar the other person looked after hearing what Hina Nekoya said.

"Don't you think it's awkward for people who just met to share a couple's umbrella?" Makoto Takahashi met her gaze with a cold look.

"Couple's umbrella?"

Hina Nekoya raised her hand and scratched the back of her head, asking somewhat confusedly, "What's that? Some kind of urban legend or curse?"

"..."

Seeing that Makoto Takahashi remained silent about the details, she expressed her respect, even though she didn't understand.

"How about this, we'll share an umbrella at the convenience store in front of the academy. I was just about to buy an umbrella, you can take this one home, but remember to return it tomorrow."

"Thank you."

"It's okay. By the way, Takahashi-kun, you don't seem to talk much."

"..."

"If you keep going like this, you won't be able to make any friends in class."

"..."

The two walked into the misty rain under one umbrella, and the transparent umbrella immediately began to play the sound of rain.

The two barely exchanged a few words until they arrived at the convenience store.

Hina Nekoya handed the borrowed umbrella to Makoto Takahashi, smiled, and waved goodbye: "I'm going to buy an umbrella. See you tomorrow, Takahashi-kun."

"See you tomorrow." Takahashi Makoto turned and walked towards the tram station.

Fine rain soaked the streets, and the leaves of the roadside trees were tender green in spring. As I approached the dimly lit intersection, I heard the sound of sneakers splashing through the puddles behind me.

Turning around, I saw Nekoya Hina running towards me quickly.

"Takahashi-kun, you're going in this direction too?"

She stopped beside me, holding her newly bought transparent umbrella with the price tag still on, and smiled brightly, saying:

"I need to go to Waseda Station. I think I take the Tozai Line? I just arrived in Tokyo a few days ago, so I'm still a bit confused."

“You can check the map.” With that, Makoto Takahashi took out his phone and opened the map.

Waseda Station on the Toden Arakawa Line and Waseda Station on the Tozai Line are two separate stations connected by a surface road on foot.

At that moment, the aura of "Yangjiao" suddenly wafted over from the side.

Hina Nekoya, without any sense of boundaries, leaned in and said, "Tokyo is so big! The train lines seem more complicated than all the transportation routes in Hokkaido combined."

Hyoukaku's aura caused Takahashi Makoto to experience a culture shock; his communication skills were on a completely different level from Nekoya Hina's.

What is the best way to deal with this?

Chapter 41 "Fireworks"

The twinkling lights disappeared into the night sky. After the last fireworks faded, Makoto Takahashi got up and walked to the edge of the terrace to enjoy the evening breeze. The street vendors were still bustling, and the air was filled with the scent of summer.

At that moment, Kashima Reiko received a phone call.

After saying "yes" a few times, she stood up and said goodbye to the two of them: "The young lady has ordered me to return to the main family immediately. Goodbye."

Maya Uesugi nodded almost imperceptibly.

"I'm very happy tonight," Kashima Reiko said to Takahashi Makoto, and quickly left.

Only Makoto Takahashi and Maya Uesugi remained on the coffee shop's terrace, along with drinks, coffee, cakes, and snacks.

A system panel pops up in front of you.

"I really like the atmosphere tonight; I feel my body temperature rising."

Makoto Takahashi turned and leaned against the railing, facing Maya Uesugi. Looking at her relaxed posture, he smiled and said, "Actually, we can become very good friends."

Although the atmosphere was a bit off at first, it gradually warmed up after the fireworks went off, giving me a feeling of exhilaration, like basking in the sun after the rainy season.

"Takahashi-kun, don't get too cocky."

Maya Uesugi finished the last of her coffee, her beautiful legs, concealed by her long white dress, crossed over each other. She slowly raised her face, her caramel-colored eyes casting a cold gaze upon her.
