There is absolutely no problem with Kasugano Yuu's youth

In fact, there is nothing much to see in these festivals. They are no different from the summer festivals held on weekdays, with goldfish scooping, apple candies, takoyaki, balloon inflating, etc.

These celebrations are just for experiencing the atmosphere, or they are fun to attend with the people you like.

After walking around the small market, the two finally stopped in front of a stall selling candied apples.

"Or?" Kasugano Yuu asked.

Kasugano Sora turned her head away but said nothing.

Kasugano Yuu smiled, took out a coin from his pocket, bought an apple candy and handed it to Kasugano Sora.

Looking at the apple candy handed over by Kasugano Yuu, Kasugano Qiong raised her hand to take it, then stared at it for a while, opened her little mouth and took a bite.

"It's not delicious...it's too sweet." After saying this, Kasugano Yui stuffed the apple candy that she had bitten into back into Kasugano Yuu.

"Uh..." Kasugano Yuu looked at the bitten apple candy in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally took a bite.

There is actually nothing special about apple candy. It is similar to candied haws, just small apples with syrup poured on them.

Kasugano Sora saw Kasugano Yu eating the apple candy she had eaten and couldn't help but snort.

Just as Kasugano Yu was about to continue shopping with Kasugano Sora, a voice suddenly sounded behind them.

"Xiaoyou."

Hearing the voice, Kasugano Yuu and Kasugano Sora both turned around at the same time and saw Nao Ihime, who was also wearing a yukata, standing there.

It was obvious that it was Nao Ihime who called Kasugano Yuu just now.

"Nao!" Kasugano Yuu looked at Ihime Nao with some surprise. He didn't expect to meet Ihime Nao by such a coincidence.

"Xiaoyou." Nao Ihara also took two steps forward happily, but after she took two steps, she saw Kasugano Sora staring at her, which made her stop and the smile on her face froze for a moment. Then she said awkwardly, "Xiao Sora... is here too."

Just now, Nao Ihime saw Kasugano Yuu in the crowd, so she called out to him, but she didn't notice Kasugano Sora who was blocked by the crowd.

Now facing Kasugano Sora, Iori Nao didn't know what to do for a moment, because she knew that Kasugano Sora hated her, especially when she saw her appear next to Kasugano Yuu, but precisely because of this, she really wanted to repair their relationship.

But it doesn't seem like a good opportunity now. If she insists on staying, Kasugano Sora might hate her even more.

"Well... I won't disturb you anymore. Xiaoyou and Xiaoqiong, you guys go shopping." After saying this, Iori Nao was about to leave.

Seeing that Nao Ihime was about to leave, Kasugano Yuu wanted to ask her to stay, but before he could say anything, his hand was suddenly pulled away.

"Kyou." Kasugano Yu turned his head to look at Kasugano Yu and saw that Kasugano Yu was staring at him. It was obvious that she didn't want Kasugano Yu to ask Nao Ihime to stay.

Just in the few seconds of being disturbed by Kasugano Sora, Iori Nao disappeared in the crowd.

Seeing this, Kasugano Yu could only sigh silently, wondering how to deal with the matter between Kasugano Sora and Ihime Nao.

However, Kasugano Yuu didn't dwell on this matter for too long and adjusted himself.

"Why don't we go up the mountain? There will be fireworks at nine o'clock, and we can see them more clearly from the mountain." Kasugano Yuu suggested.

"No, it's too far." Kasugano Sora just took a look at the way up the mountain and shook her head to refuse.

"Don't be like this, just think of it as you accompanying me, how about that?" Kasugano Yuu said, and without waiting for Kasugano Yuu to refuse, he pulled Kasugano Yuu towards the mountain.

The way up the mountain was very quiet, and there was no one to be seen. It was obvious that everyone was still strolling down the mountain.

However, it has to be admitted that the way up the mountain is indeed a bit far. When they reached halfway up the mountain, Kasugano Yui refused to go on.

"There's only half left. How about holding on a little longer?" Kasugano Yu looked up at the mountain road and said.

"No, I'm tired." Kasugano Yui didn't want to go up the mountain in the first place, and now she doesn't want to walk even more.

Looking at Kasugano Yuu like this, Kasugano Yuu had a headache for a moment, and then he immediately came up with an idea. He came to Kasugano Yuu and turned around.

"Come, I'll carry you." Kasugano Yu patted his back and motioned Kasugano Yui to lie on top.

Seeing this, Kasugano Sora didn't say anything this time and just lay on top of Kasugano Yuu.

However, when the weight of Kasugano Yuu's entire body was pressed down on him, Kasugano Yuu couldn't help but take a breath, because he just remembered that he still had an injury on his back. But he couldn't make a sound at this time, otherwise Kasugano Yuu probably wouldn't let him carry her on his back.

Kasugano Yu reached out and held Kasugano Yui's butt and pushed it, allowing her to lie better on his back amid Kasugano Yui's exclamations.

Chapter 155 The Man Who Peeps in the Shrine

Even though there was an extra person on his back, Kasugano Yu still reached the top of the mountain at the same speed. This was all thanks to the leg strength and speed he had developed after being chased for a long time in the other world.

Kasugano Yuu put Kasugano Yuu down under the torii gate in front of the shrine.

"It's still early, let's go into the shrine and worship." Kasugano Yu raised his head and glanced at the torii gate, then stepped over the torii and walked towards the shrine.

Seeing this, Kasugano Sora couldn't help but stamp her feet, and then hurriedly followed.

Kasugano Yuu and Kasugano Sora entered the worship hall one after another and came to the cash box. Kasugano Yuu searched his pocket, took out a coin worth 500 yen and put it into the cash box.

Before or after putting money into the cash box, Kasugano Yuu rings the bell, then bows twice, then claps his hands together twice, and finally bows once. This is the so-called "two bows, two claps, and one bow", which is what you often see in anime.

After doing all this, Kasugano Yuu turned around and said to Kasugano Yui, "Yui, come and do it too. You will have good luck in the coming year."

"I don't want it. There is no God in this world. He won't guarantee anything." Kasugano Sora curled her lips. She didn't believe there was any God in this world.

"Whether you have it or not, you have to try it." Seeing that Kasugano Yuu was unwilling, Kasugano Yuu came behind her and pushed her forward a few steps, "Since we're here."

Kasugano Yui had no choice but to do it reluctantly.

After Kasugano Yuu finished, Kasugano Yuu smiled and said, "Lady Chayiji will surely bless Yuu with good luck in the coming year."

Hearing this, Kasugano Sora glanced at Kasugano Yuu secretly, and then said, "It's better to be like this."

"Okay, okay, let's go out and wait for the fireworks." Kasugano Yu took out his cell phone and took a look. After all this trouble, it was already getting late.

The two walked out of the shrine, and at that moment, rays of light flew into the sky and then exploded into dazzling shapes.

The bright light from the fireworks exploding in the air illuminated the two of them.

The two of them stared at the fireworks in a trance.

However, neither Kasugano Yuu nor Kasugano Sora noticed that there was someone secretly watching them in the shrine.

————————————————————

"Teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka, why are you here?" As soon as Saki Kawasaki opened the door, she saw Shizuka Hiratsuka standing at the door carrying a lot of bags.

Saki Kawasaki was chatting with Yu Kasugano, but suddenly she heard a knock on the door. When she opened the door, she found that the person coming was Shizuka Hiratsuka.

"Of course I came up to keep you company. After all, you would definitely be lonely if you lived with Sylvie, so I'll come up to keep you company." Hiratsuka Shizuka said with a smile.

"..." Although Saki Kawasaki really wanted to tell Shizuka Hiratsuka that it didn't matter whether she was there or not, since Shizuka Hiratsuka had already come to her house, Saki Kawasaki would not say such low EQ words.

"By the way, please help me carry these things, they are too heavy." Shizuka Hiratsuka said, and then slightly lifted the bags in her hands.

"Ahhh!" Saki Kawasaki finally reacted and reached out to take part of the bag.

Although Shizuka Hiratsuka said that she wanted Saki Kawasaki to carry some, she actually let Saki Kawasaki carry some of the lighter ones. After all, she also remembered that Saki Kawasaki was a pregnant woman and it would be difficult for her to carry such heavy things.

Saki Kawasaki made way for Shizuka Hiratsuka to come in, then closed the door.

"Teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka, you just come, why do you bring so many things?" Saki Kawasaki naturally knew that these things were for her.

"It's nothing. These things are not worth much. Besides, you're pregnant and Sylvie is so little, they both need a lot of nutrition." Perhaps because she has come here so many times, Shizuka Hiratsuka seems to have learned how to talk to Saki Kawasaki so that she will accept the things she brings.

For example, the baby in Saki Kawasaki's belly and Sylvie, whenever these two things are mentioned, Saki Kawasaki will not refuse.

"Take it to the kitchen, right?" Hiratsuka Shizuka asked.

"Yes, just take it to the kitchen and put it there." Saki Kawasaki nodded.

Afterwards, Shizuka Hiratsuka skillfully took the things to the kitchen and found a place to put them down.

In order to enter the kitchen, she naturally had to pass through the living room. When Sylvie saw that it was the strange aunt Shizuka Hiratsuka, she couldn't help but want to go back to the room.

Although Shizuka Hiratsuka would bring a lot of things to Sylvie every time she came, she would always grab her and say some very strange things when she came.

So although Sylvie didn't hate this weird aunt, she still didn't like being grabbed by her and having her head and face pinched.

She just likes Kasugano Yuu and Kawasaki Saki touching her head and face.

After putting her things away, Shizuka Hiratsuka came to the living room, sat down, and waved to Sylvie.

"Xylvie, come to your sister quickly."

Looking at Shizuka Hiratsuka, Sylvie hesitated whether to go over.

Just then, Saki Kawasaki came to Shizuka Hiratsuka with a glass of water.

"Teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka, have some water." Saki Kawasaki handed the water to Shizuka Hiratsuka.

"Thank you." Shizuka Hiratsuka took the water and took a sip.

After taking a sip of water, Shizuka Hiratsuka seemed to have forgotten what had just happened. She took out a few pieces of paper from somewhere and put them on the table.

After Kawasaki Saki sat down, he took a look at the papers and asked curiously, "What is this?"

"This is proof of Sylvie's identity. I've already got it." Shizuka Hiratsuka pointed at the papers and motioned Saki Kawasaki to take a look.

In fact, if you just want to get an identity, it doesn’t take that much time.

But Shizuka Hiratsuka treats Sylvie as her own sister, so of course she has to put in some effort and it is impossible for her to just be an empty shell.

So Shizuka Hiratsuka found someone to create Sylvie's identity out of thin air. Now even if someone goes to investigate, they can find evidence of Sylvie's existence in some places.

It is conceivable how much effort Shizuka Hiratsuka put into Sylvie's identity.

It’s a pity that Sylvie doesn’t understand this.

Saki Kawasaki took the certificate brought by Shizuka Hiratsuka and looked at it for a long time, but she didn't show any disapproval. However, she knew that this thing must be true, and Shizuka Hiratsuka must have made great efforts for it.

"Thank you very much, Teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka." Saki Kawasaki stood up and bowed to Shizuka Hiratsuka.

"Hey, hey, don't be like this. After all, Sylvie is my sister now, and this is what I should do." Shizuka Hiratsuka waved her hand without much concern.

Chapter 156 New Year, New Neighbors

Having said that, Saki Kawasaki also knows that she still needs to thank those who should be thanked.

After thanking Shizuka Hiratsuka, Shizuka Hiratsuka called out to Sylvie and wanted to tease her.

But at this moment, the door was knocked again, and Kawasaki Saki and Hiratsuka Shizuka both turned their heads in surprise and looked towards the door.

After all, whether it was that Saki Kawasaki felt that it was a very rare thing for Shizuka Hiratsuka to come, or that Shizuka Hiratsuka thought that she was the only one who would come to visit at this time, neither of them expected that someone would come again.

"I'll go take a look." Saki Kawasaki stood up and walked towards the door.

Hiratsuka Shizuka hesitated for a moment, then stood up as well: "I'll come with you, if you have any trouble, I can help you solve it."

Saki Kawasaki nodded.

Although Kawasaki Saki has never truly witnessed Shizuka Hiratsuka's martial arts power, she has heard the legend about Shizuka Hiratsuka when she was in Sobu High School. With Shizuka Hiratsuka's strength, seven or eight big men are no match for her.

The two of them came to the entrance. Saki Kawasaki walked to the door, put her eyes to the peephole and looked outside, then she saw two girls, one big and one small, standing at the door.

"They are two girls." Saki Kawasaki turned her head and said to Shizuka Hiratsuka.

"Girl? Why is there a girl here at this time? Is she your friend, Saki?" Shizuka Hiratsuka was also a little puzzled. On this New Year's Day, why did someone other than her come to Saki Kawasaki's house?

Hearing this, Saki Kawasaki didn't even think about it and quickly shook her head, indicating that the two people outside were not her friends at all.

After all, Saki Kawasaki doesn't have many friends in school. Even if she does, they are just ordinary friends, not the kind of good friends who can visit each other.

What's more, Saki Kawasaki did not tell anyone about her return to Chiba because she didn't want the whole school to know about her pregnancy.

"No."

"Then what do they do?" asked Shizuka Hiratsuka.

"I don't know." Saki Kawasaki closed the peephole on the door and looked out.

At this moment, the woman outside the door raised her hand and knocked on the door again.

Seeing this, Kawasaki Saki quickly observed that there were no big men hiding around and would not rush in after she opened the door. Then she said to Hiratsuka Shizuka: "Open the door and see what they are going to do."

"Open it." Shizuka Hiratsuka nodded, then clenched her fist. If any big man rushed out from the darkness, she would let those guys taste her Shizuka Hiratsuka fist.

Saki Kawasaki took a step back and opened the door.

The woman at the door was about to knock on the door again, but her hand, which was halfway raised, froze in the air.

After a long while, the woman coughed and put her hand down.

"Hello, who are you?" Saki Kawasaki asked politely.
