I have bound two systems.

They quickly separated and were about to say something to ease the awkward atmosphere, but Yukinoshita shook her head indifferently.

"…I'm sorry, please."

She took the initiative to hand over the guide map in her hand with an expression that said "I give up".

Chapter 259: A Chance of Meeting by Chance

Because of Touma and Sa's sudden illness, the date that they had gotten up early was not as romantic as Suzumiya Chisato had originally imagined, but it was still quite enjoyable.

However, from the middle of the event, their attention shifted from the beautiful scenery of the sunrise over the sea to each other.

Hesha had a slight fever, which caused her body temperature to be slightly higher than usual, and the feeling it gave to Chisato Suzumiya was quite different.

During this process, he suddenly and without warning remembered a question he had seen on the Internet.

The questioner said, his wife is having a fever now and all nearby pharmacies are closed. What should he do now to relieve her discomfort?

A lot of netizens offered suggestions below. Some said to apply a cold towel to the forehead, and some said to wipe the armpits and neck with alcohol. These are all effective ways to lower body temperature.

But among these answers, there is one that is extremely unconventional, and the content of the answer is quite simple and crude.

Just sweat while it's hot.

The answerer was outrageous and she was a woman.

What’s even more outrageous is that half an hour later, the questioner liked this answer and attached a thank-you reply, “Thank you, it’s really useful.”

All I can say is that reality is too magical. Although the solutions to some problems are outrageous, they are indeed effective.

After the sun rose completely, the two of them walked back. Suzumiya Chisato leaned forward slightly and her walking posture was unnatural.

Touma Kazusa was about to ask in confusion, but was immediately blocked by Suzumiya Chisato.

"I know what you want to ask, but don't ask anything now."

Touma Hesa ​​was stunned for a moment, then after carefully observing her boyfriend's expression, she discovered some small changes in him that were different from usual.

It was this little change that scared her on the sofa last night, and she was so nervous that she didn't sleep well that night.

After roughly understanding why her boyfriend was like that, she looked straight ahead with a half-shy and half-subtle expression, but her eyes were still quite curious and she would glance over from time to time to observe his posture.

She walked out of the beach and passed a traffic light, then she silently said to herself.

Ah, calm down.

She secretly observed Suzumiya Chisato's expression, and the other party did not seem as conflicted and serious as hers.

Is it a very painful thing for men to encounter this situation?

She had this doubt, but no one could answer it for her.

After returning to the hotel, it was just past six o'clock and it was still early to check out.

The aquarium expo that we planned to visit later didn't open for admission until after nine o'clock.

So Chisato Suzumiya did not plan to leave right away. Instead, she made an internal call and asked the hotel staff to send a medicine box. After using a thermometer to confirm that Hesha really had a fever, she poured her a cup of warm water and asked her to take antipyretic pills.

By the way, there were antipyretic suppositories in the medicine box that he was very familiar with, which were those naughty little pills that were "eaten" from the back. However, while Hesha was still conscious, he didn't dare to give her this kind of medicine because she would really kick people.

After Touma and Sa took the antipyretic pills, before the medicine took full effect, they ate some breakfast that Chisato Suzumiya called to the room.

Light porridge with fried eggs and pickled vegetables is very suitable for patients like her.

"You don't have to eat these with me. Mom said that the seafood in this hotel tastes very good. The taste of tuna sashimi and salt-baked king crab is even more unforgettable. You can order some to try."

Touma Kazusa sipped her porridge while giving advice to her boyfriend.

She always wanted to give him the best she could.

"I appreciate your kindness, but it's not reasonable to have a seafood feast so early in the morning. I'm fine with porridge."

Suzumiya Chisato patted her head happily.

"If you want to eat after your fever subsides, we can eat together again."

Touma and Sa nodded silently, agreeing with this statement.

After breakfast, Touma and Sa went back to their room to rest.

The antipyretic had some effect. She dozed off in a half-asleep state until about ten o'clock when she woke up. The throbbing pain in her head was still very clear.

But she pretended that her symptoms had eased, and she was in good spirits, urging her boyfriend to leave quickly.

She didn't want to make the other party worry, nor did she want to disrupt their original plans because of her own reasons.

Even though my head still hurts a bit, I should have no problem holding out until the end of the date.

------

Standing near the Marine Ecological Protection Association in Area D of the exhibition site, the crowd was almost exaggerated.

If there weren't many staff members in blue uniforms walking around with small loudspeakers to maintain order, it would not be surprising that a serious stampede would occur in the next second.

In front of the long table that was pieced together on the spot, Yukinoshita Yukino's face turned pale as she finally picked up the pen and signed her name.

This expression did not mean that she was very angry or impatient, but rather that her physical and mental strength were almost exhausted.

Even the alopecia that usually stood up slightly in the middle of his head drooped listlessly at this moment.

Events repeatedly exceeded Yukinoshita's expectations.

I was unwillingly squeezed in the crowd and kept bumping into strangers, drifting back and forth with the crowd like I was on a tram.

The air conditioner's cooling effect was minimal, and the unpleasant smell of sweat and cigarette smoke entered my nose.

Also, because the crowd was so dense, there were unavoidable noises, arguments, and the cries of children coming from nowhere...

All of this made Yukinoshita Yukino exhausted both physically and mentally. In an instant, she felt so haggard and weak, as if she had gone through a triathlon after staying awake for 24 hours.

It felt like I was ascending to heaven, and I might lose consciousness at any moment.

Now that Yukinoshita Yukino has a place that makes her feel safe and comfortable, she feels it wouldn't be difficult for her to just fall asleep.

However, if she were given a chance to start over, she would still choose to come here without hesitation and make her own efforts for environmental protection.

You just need to make a slight adjustment in your plan, either get up early and come just after the entrance, or choose to leave later and enter in the afternoon when there are fewer people, so you won’t have such a bad experience now.

But there is nothing we can do about it, at least the result is achieved.

Considering it from another perspective, it is somewhat comforting that so many Japanese people share the same ideas as themselves.

Also, fortunately, I didn’t come here alone today, but was accompanied by Isshiki and Yuigahama.

Otherwise, even if I could get into the scene, I wouldn't be able to escape from the crowd.

"…Thank you, Yuigahama-san and Isshiki-san."

After finally squeezing out of the venue, Yukinoshita and her three companions found an empty bench on the roadside to take a temporary rest.

There are still people coming and going on the road in front of me, but fortunately the bench is covered by the dense shade of the trees, making it a little cooler, and the air is much fresher than in the previous indoor places.

"It's okay, Yukino-chan, this is what Iroha and I wanted to do."

Yuigahama Yui waved her hand indifferently.

Although she was different from Yukinoshita and felt somewhat tired physically, she was still in good spirits.

And after hearing Yukinoshita's thanks, her mood improved even further.

After all, she had been the one-sided care recipient of the other party's care since they met. Now that she was sure that she had given back to the other party and helped him, she felt extremely satisfied.

"You can always schedule a date with Iroha and I next time if you need anything! Even though outings like this are a bit tiring, they're surprisingly fun."

In the excitement, she even made such a promise.

Yukinoshita Yukino wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief and recovered her strength. She smiled weakly when she heard the words. Although she knew that it was a polite remark, she still said thank you again with gratitude.

Yuigahama-san is really a girl who is as gentle and lively as a dog.

For the nth time, this thought occurred to her mind.

“Hoo-hoo~ Here it comes, here comes the energy drink.”

Panting, Isshiki Caiyu came back jogging with three bottles of energy drinks in her hands.

The two took it and thanked him respectively.

Isshiki Caiyu sat down, unscrewed the bottle cap, and while drinking, she stretched out her fair little hands to fan her raised neck.

"Aha--"

The cold drink goes from the mouth through the throat into the body, making people feel refreshed instantly.

"I really didn't expect that there would be so many people at the environmental protection site."

Isshiki Iroha, who had recovered, sighed.

Her situation is similar to Yuigahama Yui, both are lively and cheerful girls, without the negative buff of "feeling uncomfortable in crowded places".

Although she seemed a little powerless when squeezed in the crowd, she quickly got better after leaving the scene. She was no longer like Yukinoshita now, gritting her teeth and using all the remaining strength in her body to barely open the cap of the drink bottle.

In response to Isshiki Iroha's words, Yukinoshita only responded weakly.

What she drinks most often is black tea. She likes the natural aroma of black tea and has never had any feelings about other drinks.

But today, she held the energy drink in both hands and took a big sip eagerly to replenish her missing energy.

The two people around her looked at her, who was usually elegant and calm, but now showed such a weak and powerless posture. After secretly glancing at each other, they curled up the corners of their mouths at the same time, feeling inexplicably cute.

Today's outing not only contributed to environmental protection, but also allowed me to witness and unlock such a rare performance of Yukinoshita. I always feel that it is quite a gain.

The girls were chatting idly. After resting for more than ten minutes, Yukinoshita Yukino finally recovered a little bit of energy, and her eyes were no longer as empty and confused as before.

Yuigahama Yui also took the opportunity to pick up the guide map and asked which exhibition hall they should visit next.

"I don't mind going anywhere. I'll follow your arrangements, seniors."

Isshiki Caiyu behaved as well as usual. She really didn't have any particular exhibition hall she wanted to visit first. In addition, most of her attention was now spent on communicating with someone on her phone via text message, so the question of what to do next was all put aside.

"I see. I see. What do you think, Yukino?"

When Yukinoshita Yukino heard Yuigahama's question again, she shook her head slightly and asked back,

"Is there anything that interests you, Yuigahama-san?"

If she had to make a decision, she would rather sit here and rest for a while.

But after all, it was she who asked the two of them to come out and act together. Asking them to just sit here all the time was too willful, so she could only think about this idea silently in her heart.

"If I had to decide, I'd go take a look here first."

Yuigahama Yui pointed to a place on the guide map, which was marked as Area A.

She couldn't wait to continue explaining.

"If you go here, you will pass through an underwater tunnel, where you can see many fish and corals of various colors. If you continue walking forward, you will reach the indoor dolphinarium. If we go there now, we should be able to catch the next dolphin show."

Yuigahama seemed quite excited, and her tone became cheerful involuntarily when she talked about her favorite penguins and dolphins.

Yukinoshita looked at her like this. Although the negative state she had just experienced in the crowd had not been completely eliminated, she still smiled gently.

"I'm OK."

As for the remaining Ichiro Iseki…

"let's go."

She picked up her bag more directly and naturally put her arm around Yukinoshita Yukino's left arm.

"Okay, let's go!"

Yuigahama Yui stood up and took Yukinoshita's right arm.

Just now in Hall D, the two of them were just like they are now, one on the left and one on the right like two guardians, tightly protecting the weakest Yukinoshita in the middle, so that she would not disappear silently in the crowd.

Yukinoshita was very grateful for this, but she was obviously unable to adapt to walking in this posture.

“Um… Yuigahama-san, Isshiki-san, it shouldn’t be a problem if we don’t walk together like this now…”

"It's okay, Yukino-chan, I don't mind."

"It's not a question of whether you mind or not..."

"I also really like hugging Yukinoshita-senpai. Even though the weather is hot, I don't know why I always feel cooler when I get close to her. I'm not so irritable anymore."

"That won't happen..."
