"what happened?"

"Jiang Zao, Hong Xia said she would deduct my salary for next month..."

"What did you tell her?"

Liang tried to hold back his saliva... no, he took a bite of the octopus balls with tears in his eyes: "I just said it was just an indirect kiss, what's the big deal, it's not the first kiss, and then she scolded me..."

So you went over there on purpose to provoke them?

Liang's behavior is simply like lighting a light in the toilet, seeking death (shit).

"It's too much, isn't it?"

"I think it's a miracle that you can come back intact."

"But Pochi-chan isn't jealous at all."

"Eh? Ah?" Goto Ichiri poked her head out from Jiang Zao's arms, not knowing what to say. If it was before she and Jiang Zao registered their marriage, she might have been worried about this, worried that Jiang Zao would not want to marry her or something, but now Goto Ichiri had actually registered her marriage with Jiang Zao.

Although she only has these few friends in her life, in her opinion, these actions are just interactions between good friends and cannot shake the fact that she is getting married to Jiang Zao.

"Well...well...as long as you are happy?"

Faced with Goto Ichiri's answer, Ryo was stunned: "Why is it a question?"

Chapter 133: Sandwiched from all sides

"Ah, I...did I say something wrong?"

"No, it's no problem." Liang shook his head, licked the sauce off his hands, and glanced at Jiang Zao calmly: "Let's go over too."

Five people walked into the haunted house, where there was only dim light and dilapidated walls. Weird roars were heard from time to time. The terrifying atmosphere made the girls shrink behind Jiang Zao. Only Goto Ichiri felt a familiar sense of security, and together with Jiang Zao, he became the girls' shield.

The dark environment of a haunted house is similar to the closet at home. It feels much better than outside.

"I say...if you're so scared, you shouldn't have chosen the haunted house in the first place."

"I'm not particularly scared. I just felt it was a little dark and was worried about falling. Right, right, Kita."

"Ijichi-senpai is right."

You both were shaking as you spoke, but you said you were fine.

Jiang Zao felt that they were the kind of people who would be scared when watching horror movies but still wanted to watch them without getting tired of it. They were both naive and playful.

In this dim environment, with three heads appearing behind the two people, they look more like ghosts. I hope they won’t scare the students who are dressed as ghosts to death.

"Then I'm going to move forward, so watch your step."

"oh oh."

Not far away, the wall illuminated by red lights was particularly eye-catching. Jiang Zao had already seen the students waiting in the shadows beside the wall. This method was indeed very clever. He used lights to attract the attention of visitors and made them mistakenly believe that there must be a frightening scene where the lights were shining. When they were concentrating on looking at the wall, something would suddenly jump out from the side to scare them.

"Jiang, Jiang Zao, why don't you leave?" Hong Xia stared at the wall that looked more and more suspicious.

Could it be that he saw something? !

"Nothing, let's keep going." Jiang Zao said in a relaxed tone: "I was just thinking that I haven't seen any scary scenes for so long, maybe it's time to see one."

"Don't expect that!"

Before Hong Xia finished her words, a terrifying head pierced by a syringe popped out from the darkness and screamed at them.

"ah!!!"

Hong Xia and Kita Ikuyo were so frightened that two tears squeezed out of the corners of their eyes, making sharp noises, and they simultaneously pushed Goto Ichiri away and hugged Jiang Zao, while the other three had basically no reaction and looked at the person pretending to be a ghost calmly.

Goto Ichiri was startled by the screams of tourists not far away, and joined the group of people hugging Jiang Zao. Liang Mo walked behind him silently and the girls sandwiched Jiang Zao from four directions.

Jiang Zao pulled out a hand with difficulty and gave a thumbs up to the staff member who dressed as a ghost.

You did a great job, buddy!

The group walked through the entire haunted house in this strange posture. Hong Xia wiped the sweat from her forehead and said casually, "Ah~ The haunted house is really interesting."

"She was clearly afraid to open her eyes and was still holding onto Jiang Zao, refusing to let go."

"Liang, what are you talking about? I don't remember anything like this at all." Hong Xia whistled guiltily, not daring to look her in the face.

"If I don't remember this incident, can I get the deducted salary back?"

"can."

"Then I have amnesia."

Kita Ikuyo squatted in the corner and covered her face. Goto Ichiri asked her with concern: "Kita, are you okay?"

"Wow...Pochi-chan, I'm sorry for hugging Jiang Zao for so long. Can we still be friends?"

"Just a hug, no, it's not that serious."

"Pochi-chan...you are such an angel..."

It always feels like after coming out of the haunted house, your characters are a little broken?

The episode passed quickly, and the group continued to stroll through the cultural festival. When passing by the classic shooting game stall, Jiang Zao saw that Kita Ikuyo seemed to like one of the dolls very much, so he stopped and asked her: "Kita, don't you want to try it?"

"I played this with my friends at festivals before, but we couldn't defeat the dolls at all."

"What about you? Is there anything you want to try?"

"I'm not good at this kind of game. It's great that I can hit something."

“It’s better to buy food with money.”

"Ah, I've never played this kind of game..."

Seeing that the girls were not planning to play, Jiang Zao rolled up his sleeves and prepared to show off his skills. The price at this stall was much cheaper than in the amusement park, and he could play ten times for twenty yuan. Considering that it was still a reasonable price here, he planned to finish ten times and call it a day.

After paying the money, Jiang Zao picked up the gun skillfully and put the butt against his shoulder in a standard posture. His first target was not the doll that Kita Yuyo had taken a fancy to, but the Coke doll next to it.

"Oh!"

"Wow, knocked down! Knocked down!"

"Pochi-chan, this is for you." Jiang Zao took the Coke doll and handed it to Goto Ichiri.

"Ah, thanks."

The remaining nine bullets yielded nine dolls. Jiang Zao gave the doll that Kita Ikuyo liked to her: "Kita, this is for you, Hongxia and Liang, you can choose whichever one you want."

“Is it really okay to give it to me?”

"Of course, there's no use for me to have so many dolls, and you like this one very much, right?"

Kita Ikuyo didn't expect that Jiang Zao would discover her peeking at the doll. She raised the doll to cover her blushing face and said, "Thank you, thank you."

"You're so accurate in shooting. I think I must bring Jiang Zao to the festival next time."

"That will probably get you blacklisted by the store." Hong Xia saw at a glance that Liang wanted to take Jiang Zao to the festival to rob those target shooting game stalls: "Maybe they'll be considered as someone who came here specifically to mess things up."

"Just let those poor shop owners go." Jiang Zao took the remaining dolls in his hand and prepared to give them to Gabriel and the others later. The remaining two dolls would be used as prizes for the top two candidates in the Mihama Academy placement test.

Everyone walked around outside the teaching building and bought a crepe from the crepe stand of Kita Ikuyo's class. As the cultural festival was about to end in the afternoon, she took the initiative to suggest going to see the stadium where tomorrow's performance would be held.

The students rushing back and forth in the spacious and bright gymnasium are preparing for tomorrow's individual performance stage. Some are cleaning, moving props, and checking equipment. They are all busy with the things at hand.

“What a beautiful stadium...”

Liang made a rough estimate: "If it is fully staffed, there should be 1000 people, right?"

"I think... there shouldn't be so many people coming, right?" Ikuyo Kita felt that a full house might not be realistic, but it would be nice if there were as many people as possible. After all, this was their first step towards STARRY!

"There will definitely be a lot of people coming. At least many people in Jiang Zao's class said they would come!" Hong Xia and the others did not help in vain that day. It was an indisputable fact that they ranked first in class sales, and the class monitor planned to bring the whole class to watch the show.

As the saying goes, a drop of water should be repaid with a spring.

"After the cultural festival is over, I will take you to a mysterious place to play." Jiang Zao's abrupt remarks aroused their curiosity.

"mysterious place?"

"How mysterious is it?"

"Let's talk about this later."

Chapter 134 Getting used to indirect kissing

On the way back to STARRY, Hong Xia was still thinking about where the mysterious place was, and kept pestering Jiang Zao, asking: "Jiang Zao, can't you really tell us where we are going in advance?"

"No, because some things have not been finalized yet, and the rest are still being prepared."

"Wow, you're being so formal. It makes me want to know even more..."

"You should concentrate and practice well."

"That's right. We must be at our best tomorrow!"

Back in the recording studio, everyone played a song in excellent condition. Jiang Zao sat quietly by the side and didn't make any trouble today. He suddenly remembered that he had asked Goto Ichiri to check the guitar before, but he didn't know whether she had done it.

"Pochi-chan, I asked you to check your guitar before. Did you check it carefully?"

"Ah, I've been so busy practicing lately that I forgot..."

"Speaking of guitars, there's something I've been concerned about for a long time." Hong Xia looked at the guitar in Goto Ichiri's hand that looked a bit old and asked: "Pochi-chan, you've been using your guitar for a long time, right?"

Liang's eyes turned into "¥" symbols, and he came to Goto Ichiri with a beaming face and said, "I am concerned about it too. The frets are all rusty and cracked. It must be an antique that has been used for a long time. I will definitely make a lot of money if I sell it!"

Hong Xia lowered her eyebrows and stared at Liang with disdain: "Hey, don't think about selling it right away, you money-obsessed guy!"

"Well... this is the guitar that I borrowed from my dad when he was young, so it should be very old."

"So it belongs to your father. Come to think of it, your family will be here tomorrow, right?"

"Yes, he missed the last performance due to the typhoon, so dad is very excited this time. Oh, it seems that he will also bring the camera that Jiang Zao gave him." Goto Ichiri recalled the scene when he saw his father holding a camera to record his sister's dance at home, and felt a little uneasy.

Dad will definitely record tomorrow's performance, right?

"It sounds very vivid." Kita Ikuyo envied the atmosphere of Goto Ichiri's home: "My friend just sent me a message saying that she is looking forward to tomorrow's performance."

"Then I have to check the guitar carefully."

"That's true." Goto Ichiri also didn't want any unexpected factors to affect tomorrow's performance, so he took off his guitar and examined it carefully.

It would have been fine if I hadn't checked it. Once I checked it, I found quite a few problems. The most serious ones were the guitar strings and tuning pegs. Due to the high-intensity practice during this period, many tiny cracks appeared on the metal surface of the guitar strings, and its fate of breaking was foreseeable. The tuning pegs were stuck, and there was no way to calibrate the tone.

Goto Ichiri wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead in fear and said, "It's a good thing I checked the guitar."

"Then I'll go out and buy replacement parts." Jiang Zao stood up and walked out the door.

"Wait!" Liang called him, "Jiang Zao, I'll go with you."

"Well, if you're here I won't have to worry about buying the wrong things."

The cool night breeze blew with a hint of autumn, and Jiang Zao and Liang walked on the street where lights and shadows were patchwork.

It turns out that boys can walk so far in one step?

Liang silently quickened her pace to catch up with Jiang Zao, and then she found that Jiang Zao slowed down his pace, as if he was matching her usual walking habits. The fast and slow footsteps finally reached a consistent rhythm.

"Jiang Zao" Liang pointed to a convenience store and said, "I'm going to buy a popsicle. Wait for me here."

"Oh well."

After a while, Liang came out of the convenience store with a black and white popsicle that could be broken into two. She broke the popsicle in the middle without hesitation and handed the white one to Jiang Zao: "Here."

"I never thought that the day would come when Liang would treat me to a meal. I will accept it with great gratitude." Jiang Zao took the popsicle with a smile and teased her at the same time.

Liang took a small bite of the popsicle and chewed it for a few times, then frowned: "This doesn't taste good..."

"You've never eaten it?"

Liang shook his head: "First time buying."

"As much as I want to switch with you, this one has already been licked by me."

The cold black popsicle was extended in front of Jiang Zao. His cool yellow pupils looked at him calmly while he opened his left palm: "Exchange."

"Liang, have you developed a habit of forcing me to eat anything that doesn't taste good at the cultural festival?" Jiang Zao reluctantly moved the popsicle away from him: "I'm not your garbage collection station."
