For the peace of the Lonely Band, please sacrifice yourself!

"Let's go and visit Enoshima Shrine!" Kita Ikuyo's cheeks flushed. She grabbed the handbag on her shoulder and ran towards the elevator impatiently. After a few steps, the light and nimble figure walked into the elevator, and Mochizuki Saku followed closely behind.

"The Enoshima Shrine on Enoshima is the collective name for the three shrines of Hetsu-nomiya, Nakatsu-nomiya, and Okutsu-nomiya. Three sisters who are guardians of the sea are enshrined in each shrine and have been called Enoshima Myojin since ancient times." After passing through the torii gate, Kita Ikuyo touched the lucky stone that wards off bad luck and brings good fortune, and introduced the knowledge she had specially researched to everyone.

"We are now at Hejin Shrine." Kita Ikuyo put down her phone, pointed to the White Dragon Pond in front of her, and said, "Everyone must follow the signs on the signboards when visiting the shrine. It is said that if you wash money in this pond water and then put coins in the cash box, your wish will come true."

"Red bean paste?" Yichi Hongxia was skeptical.

"It is said to be very effective." Kita nodded.

"Since we are here, why not give it a try?" He started with a classic Chinese quote. Adhering to the principles of 'it doesn't cost any money, just believe in it a little' and 'if it doesn't work, it's just feudal superstition', Wang Yueshuo took the lead and stepped forward, dipped a few coins in his wallet into the White Dragon Pool to wash them clean, and then reverently put them into the cash box.

I hope that my great cause of opening a harem can be completed smoothly!

Wang Yueshu closed his eyes and prayed quietly.

However, Wang Yueshuo would not take such vague concerns to heart. In the end, building his own harem still depends on his own efforts.

He shook his head, turned around and looked at the four members of the closing band who were blinking in anticipation, and was somewhat speechless.

"What are you doing there?"

"Then... do you think that Brother Saku is very effective?" Goto Ichiri hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to ask.

"?"

There was a big question mark above Wang Yueshuo's head, and he suddenly didn't know what to say.

You ask me how I know?

...............

"Enoshima Shrine is famous because it is said that visiting it can improve your luck in love, wealth, and business. There are many facilities inside for praying for blessings and warding off disasters."

"Next to the Hoan-den is the Yasaka Shrine, where worshiping helps ward off evil spirits, make friends, and improve academic luck. In front of the shrine is the "matchmaking tree," where you can buy "Ema" cards for making wishes."

"Nakatsugu Shrine, worshipping here can improve your fortune and travel safety. You can buy a magical fortune stick at Nakatsugu Shrine, and the words on it will only appear when you dip it in water."

Kita Ikuyo led everyone along the road towards the shrine, chatting as they went.

Chapter 48 I will follow you

Yamada Ryo considers herself a person who sees things through to the end.

So, before returning to Shimokitazawa, she dragged the ATM machine - the desperate Mochizuki Saku to buy five sea salt ice creams.

"Ryo, didn't you just eat sea salt ice cream?" Ijichi Hongxia glanced at the ice cream in her hand, then looked up at her childhood friend who was so leisurely beside her. Yamada Ryo stuck out his little tongue and licked the sea salt ice cream intently, with a happy light flashing in his eyes from time to time.

"I can eat as much ice cream as you want." Yamada Ryo was not afraid at all. For her, it was absolutely necessary to not have ice cream in the hot summer. She patted Mochizuki Saku who was eating fruit on her left hand and said seriously:

"Shuo-san, I will pay you back, trust me."

Wang Yueshuo: "......"

Your trust level in me has reached an incredible negative number. No matter how sincere you are, I will not easily believe your lies!

Wang Yueshuo poked a piece of watermelon, looked at it and said in a complicated tone: "You can pay it back whenever you want."

Kita Ikuyo held the sea salt ice cream to her mouth, posed at a particularly beautiful angle and took a selfie, then she edited the photo with one hand and posted it on INS with text.

"Let me see what I'm going to do next?" After sending the photo, Kita Ikuyo slid through the homework plan she made last night. The girl looked still full of energy.

Is she a monster who never gets tired?

Ijichi Hongxia took a big bite of ice cream, closed her eyes and sighed in her heart.

“It feels like it’s been a long time.”

"Really? I feel like there's still one activity missing." Kita Ikuyo poked her head out.

"Hmm..." Ijichi Hongxia supported her chin with one hand and pondered for a while. Suddenly, an idea came to her mind and she blurted out, "Ah, then I want to eat smelt rice bowl! The store we went to at noon was sold out."

When I heard that Hong Xia wanted to try the well-received croaker rice in that store, I instantly became interested. I quickly finished the sea salt ice cream, licked my lips, and was about to say "Me too" when I felt full in my stomach. I frowned and sighed in distress: "Ah... I really want to eat, but I can't eat anymore. My stomach is full."

"Your belly is really free..."

"I thought you girls all had two stomachs, one for snacks and desserts, and the other for meals. No matter how much dessert you eat, it won't affect your meal." Mochizuki Saku poked a piece of cantaloupe with a small plastic fork and put it into Goto Ichiri's mouth, smiling and saying, "I remember that Pochi-chan can eat croquettes even if she's full."

"Ah...well, don't say anything, Saku...Saku-brother." Goto Ichiri's cheeks flushed, and his head seemed to be steaming. He became flustered, and the ice cream in his hand shook up and down in the air, leaving a white afterimage.

"Hey, what's that sound?"

Ichichi Hongxia raised her head in confusion. Two sea eagles were circling in the blue sky. Suddenly she realized, "So that's the cry of an eagle... Is it a sea eagle?"

"It will steal human food, so be careful." Kita-san kindly reminded, but before she could finish her words, a brown and white figure swooped down from the sky, quickly grabbed Goto Ichiri's ice cream, turned 90 degrees and rushed back to the sky.

Goto Ichiri (scared): "Huh? QAQ..."

Ichichi Hongxia (shocked): "Huh?"

Yamada Ryo (covering his mouth and laughing): “Wow!”

Wang Yueshuo held his forehead and said, "Even the birds can see that you are the easiest to bully and only eat your ice cream."

"Pochi-chan, are you okay?" Ijichi Hongxia felt that she had said something nonsense. Goto Ichiri's body wrapped in a pink sports suit was trembling helplessly. He hugged his head with both arms, and his face was gloomy and pale.

"Ah...ah...ah..." The air around her froze and stiffened, as if a heavy pressure was pressing on Goto Ichiri's heart. Gusts of cold air penetrated into her clothes through the cuffs. The girl felt a chill on her back and an inexplicable fear filled her heart.

"..." Wang Yueshuo narrowed his eyes as he looked at the sea eagle still circling in the air, stood up and picked up a long and straight stick from under his feet, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his gray-brown eyes.

"Saku-kun, be careful." Ijichi Hongxia frowned. Seeing that Goto Ichisato was so weak, the sea eagles seemed to become even more rampant and greedily wanted to attack again. She looked at the boy's back with some worry. The boy's tall and broad back seemed to be a pillar supporting the sky, protecting them.

"Ah."

Wang Yueshuo adjusted his breathing, and the wooden stick in his hands seemed to have turned into a sharp bamboo sword. The bright and transparent afternoon sunlight penetrated into his hair, and his eyes were filled with a cold and dazzling light.

"What a standard stance." Yamada Ryo, who had also watched kendo competitions, exclaimed in amazement.

“唳————!!!”

The sea eagle once again let out a piercing scream that shook the sky and clouds, and dived towards Wang Yueshuo.

The straight tree stick was wielded vigorously in his hand, and a sharp air current was stirred up around him. The stick was like a poisonous snake that wrapped around people. The continuous attacks like strong winds and heavy rains hit the sea eagles on the head, making the two beasts who were so daring as to want to hurt people in broad daylight dizzy and fell to the ground with two bangs.

"So handsome! So awesome!" Kita Ikuyo's eyes lit up and she clapped and exclaimed.

"Sensei Mochizuki! I want to learn kendo!" Yamada Ryosuke was like a curious child. He looked at Mochizuki Saku with a not very clear look, as if he wanted to pounce on him and touch his body.

Mochizuki Saku put down the stick, squatted in front of Pochi-chan, put his left hand on top of her head, and gently stroked the girl's head. The soft and smooth hair slid through his palm, which felt very good. Among the many girls' heads that Mochizuki Saku has touched, he can still rank among the top, and strive for the first place.

"Ichiri, let's go. Let's go eat some croaker rice and then go home." Mochizuki Saku gently held Goto Ichiri's hand with his right hand. His cold voice was like a spring breeze that lifted the girl's fragile heart.

The girl raised her head slowly, her crow-like slender and thick eyelashes trembling slightly, her head nodded slightly up and down, her cherry-colored lips opened a little, and a mosquito-like voice came out of her mouth:

"Well, okay, Brother Shuo, I will follow you."

“I’ve always believed that.”

Wang Yueshuo lifted the bangs that blocked the girl's vision and put them behind her ears. He looked into those clear lake blue eyes. The ripples reflected by the calm lake made him feel dazed, as if he had returned to a memory from the past.

Chapter 49: May your wish come true

At dusk, the golden sunlight pours down, and outside the window is the flowing blue sea.

Sitting on the train from Enoshima to Shimokitazawa, Ijichi Kouka carefully controlled Yamada Ryo's swaying brain. The girl, who had been walking for almost a whole day, was already tired and drowsy. She almost hit her head on the railing and ended up in trouble.

"It will take about an hour to get to Shimokitazawa from here, right?" Because she had to report the approximate time of arrival to her sister, Hongxia took out her cell phone from her pocket and turned to ask Kita Ikuyo beside her.

"Yes." Kita Ikuyo recalled the itinerary. They set out at around ten o'clock in the morning and got off at Enoshima Station at half past eleven. She nodded.

“By the way, Goto-san and Mochizuki-san are going to change trains at Fujisawa Station, right?” Kita Ikuyo suddenly thought of something and asked.

"Yes." Pochi-chan came back to her senses, saw the look given by Kita-san, and answered hurriedly.

"Hey, hey, what wish did Pochi make at the shrine?" Ijichi Hongxia recalled that Goto Ichiri had said that her current wish was to drop out of school, and she couldn't help but ask curiously as she saw how seriously she had made the wish just now.

"what...."

Unable to speak.

Goto Ichiri has his own unspeakable secrets.

Because she made a wish that was impossible to fulfill.

And she was a normal girl who would feel ashamed, so how could she blow herself up in front of everyone? She wanted to ask God to turn back time to the first day of summer vacation and give her a huge amount of wealth and fame that would allow her to live a life of idleness and wait for death, and to complete her bride training in an instant, marry Mochizuki Saku and become his wife, and give birth to Saku's children. Such an unspeakable thing was made public!

"I...I wish that my guitar...can be played better...What about Hong...Hongxia?" Thinking back, Goto Ichiri blushed immediately and quickly found an excuse to get away with it. He turned the topic to the drummer.

"Hehe, I'm definitely hoping that the goddess Benzaiten can bless us to finish the band so that we can compete in the future~" Ijichi Hongxia grinned, her bright red lips slightly opening and closing, revealing eight white teeth, "I made a wish sincerely, and thanked the goddess for her help all the time."

"God, thank you for blessing our performance to be a success. Please continue to bless us in the future!" The golden hair on the girl's head jumped up and down as she spoke, making her look playful and cute.

"Oh, what a pity, there are still many places we haven't visited." Kita Ikuyo sighed regretfully.

"I've also made plans for Chijifuchi, Enoshima Rock House, and Enoshima Aquarium, but it's getting late. We'll have to wait until next time when we have time. Can we come again then?"

And... I couldn't find a chance for just Mochizuki and I to go to the top of the Enoshima Iwaya, where we could ring the Dragon Love Bell together on this hill with the endless Sagami Bay in front of us, and lock the metal nets on both sides with padlocks that symbolize love.

Although it is a pity this time, there will be many opportunities and time in the future, and we will definitely be able to do it!

Kita Ikuyo cheered herself up, but when she thought about the fact that she had missed the "Dragon Love Bell" that was built based on the love legend between a goddess and a five-headed dragon, she couldn't help feeling bitter in her heart.

"Okay, let's go to Enoshima to see the sea again during the holidays~" Ichichi Hongxia stretched her body lazily, squinted her eyes comfortably, and yawned: "We had a really fulfilling time today~ We have to work harder tomorrow!"

Yamada Ryo: "Wake me up when we get to Shimokitazawa."

As soon as she finished speaking, she fell asleep quickly with her head resting on the back of the chair.

"So fast...I'm so envious." Wang Yueshuo, who had been suffering from insomnia for a long time, showed traces of surprise and envy.

Kita Ikuyo smiled helplessly: "There's really nothing we can do about these two..."

"I was thinking of going around Kamakura and having dinner with you guys."

Hearing the word "dinner", Ichichi Hongxia, who was awake, suddenly mumbled in her sleep:

“Salmon rice bowl————”

"She even talks about fish rice in her dreams. It seems she really likes to eat it." Kita Ikuyo was frightened by Hongxia. She patted her barren chest with some fear and sighed with a smile.

"Ah~ I'm a little sleepy too, Mochizuki-senpai, please wake me up when we get to the station." Kita Ikuyo turned her head to look at the boy on the far left.

Mochizuki Saku also smiled when he heard Hongxia's mumbling, and nodded at Kita Ikuyo who turned her head.

As everyone closed their eyes to rest, the originally noisy train became quiet. Mochizuki looked out the window. The setting sun was drowning in the clouds, and the orange sunset covered the world. The colorful flowers and trees were swaying on the ground.

"I'm really happy to be able to go out after a long time." Goto Ichiri followed Mochizuki Saku's gaze and saw these magnificent treasures in the world, and couldn't help but murmur.

“I might also like to play a little longer.”

"If you like, we can make an appointment to go out together again during the next vacation." Mochizuki Saku looked away, looked at the cute profile and soft long hair of the girl beside him that was dyed by the sunset, felt the confusion and yearning revealed in her lake blue eyes, and whispered his fantasy in her ear: "We can go to Yokohama's world-famous Chinatown to taste the various Chinese delicacies, and go to the Sky Garden to overlook the Tokyo Skytree, Mount Fuji and Boso Peninsula."

"Next spring, we can go to Kanagawa to enjoy the spring and cherry blossoms, sit on the Ookagawa sightseeing boat to experience the 100 'bridges' that cross the Kanagawa, soak in hot springs in Hakone, experience the medieval European countryside in the Venetian Glass Museum, and then lie on the lawn of Sankeien to quietly enjoy the cherry blossom night, looking at the boundless night sky and the cherry blossoms dotted with lights, the night sky is full of fireworks, and we will have a great time tonight."

While Goto Ichiri was listening to the boy's cold voice speaking in his ear, he was also imagining things in his mind.

The amazing imagination of the socially anxious girl played a very big role at this time. The girl's delicate cheeks began to turn red and hot. The timid Goto Ichiri didn't dare to look back at Yue Shuo. He could only stare blankly at the scenery outside the tram window that was constantly moving backwards. He felt that they were like inverted orange juices, lost in the afterglow of the summer sunset.

Sniffing the faint fragrance in the air and feeling the girl's delicate body like a flower bud at his hands, Wang Yueshuo closed his eyes with mixed feelings, lowered his head slightly, and prayed silently in his heart:

"If there is a god above us, please bless the girls here and let them not be disappointed with their expectations. Please, please."

Episode 2 Mio's new song (/?)

[Kita Ikuyo: I’ve decided!]

[Kita Ikuyo: We will spend the entire winter vacation playing together as a band with the five of us!]

[Kita Ikuyo: Goto-san, where do you want to go? We have to make a lot of memories every day!]

I...I don't want to run outside every day...

On the way home, Goto Ichiri was so scared when he saw the message sent by Kita-chan that he trembled all over. He quickly typed a reply, hoping that Kita-chan would think twice before acting.

[Goto Ichiri: Please allow me to think about it.]
