He's playing King of Fighters '97, that's classy.
Su Shi and Ai Yin hid behind a pillar, looking at each other in bewilderment.
"They... are actually playing video games?"
Ai Yin looked incredulous. "What's so fun about this? It's so noisy."
Su Shi frowned: "Childish."
Just as the word "KO" popped up in big letters on the arcade screen, Chu Hua continued to trash talk: "Your backhand is weak, your forehand is not good, your footwork is loose, your reaction is slow, not a single move is decent, do you still want to compete with me on the same stage?"
Banami, unconvinced, tossed in a coin. "Didn't you realize you were just getting a feel for it? This time you're serious. Infinite Ghost Step will crush you."
However, three minutes later, the word "KO" was almost stuck to Banami's forehead. At this point, he was a little red. It didn't make sense. Based on my experience of playing King of Fighters since the fifth grade of elementary school, I was actually slapped in the face by this girl.
As a result, Chu Hua, who usually acts like a tomboy, suddenly transformed into a little devil and mocked, "Brother-in-law, you can't even last three minutes. How do you usually satisfy Hatsune Miku?"
Seeing that the temperature was visibly red, Banai said, "Come on, what's the rush? Let me bring out Crazy Ban first. I usually practice combos with Crazy Ban."
Chu Hua chuckled twice, too lazy to expose him.
Before they knew it, it had gotten dark. Ai Yin's legs were tired from standing, and she said to Su Shi, "I don't understand why they can sit there and shout for two hours."
In fact, Su Shi didn't understand either. Although the two of them did not go to a love hotel, they also misunderstood Banami.
But... looking at Chu Hua's delicate yet cool face, I always felt that they were encountering a very new way of stealing men.
Su Shi's expression was somewhat strange. She said, "In any case, let's tell Saki-chan about this first."
***
As night fell, Xiao Xiang, lying in bed, saw the warning text message Su Shi had sent her. After reading it, Xiangzi thought the sender was being a bit silly.
Judging from Su Shi's tone, Xiangzi initially thought the two of them had already slept together.
"Running out of school together to eat, playing arcade games together after school...that's it?"
Even if it were Xiangzi, she wouldn't forbid Banami from having normal interactions with other girls, especially Hatsuka.
Xiangzi thought to himself: You seem to be more concerned about Banami's interpersonal relationships than I am. If I didn't know better, I would think you were the main girlfriend.
The girl hummed twice.
Moreover, in Xiangzi's heart, Chuhua is still the boyish childhood sweetheart he remembers.
It's hard to imagine what kind of ambiguous thing might happen between her and Banami.
Just then, Banami came out of the bathroom, but seemed to be thinking about something.
Actually, it's quite simple to test whether Hanami has cheated.
Xiangzi blushed slightly, leaned against him, and said, "Xi..."
He then muttered, "That doesn't make sense..."
The girl was somewhat annoyed that she hadn't noticed the change in Xiangzi's tone at all.
"Xi!" Her voice was a little louder.
"Hmm, what's wrong?" Banami finally came to her senses.
"Kiss me!" Xiangzi said, pouting.
"Oh..." Banai kissed her like that, leaving Xiangzi both amused and exasperated.
"It's not that kind of kissing!" Xiangzi said coquettishly.
Still distracted, Banami was a beat slow to respond, "Oh...that kind of kiss."
Just as Xiangzi nodded proudly, he heard Banami say, "Sit on top and move yourself."
"???" Xiangzi was dumbfounded.
Banami explained, "I have something to do. You do your thing, and I'll do mine. It's fine."
After saying that, he lay down and started texting on his phone, seemingly to someone.
Xiangzi felt a little annoyed, but looking at his appearance, she became quite suspicious, so she gritted her teeth and sat down.
A short while later, Xiangzi's eyes became somewhat glazed over. Based on her experience of meeting Banai so many times, he hadn't been cheating on her with anyone else in the short term.
"Smudged wind... Sunflower... Ghost step... Eight maidens... No..."
Seeing that Banami wasn't even looking at her and was staring at her phone muttering to herself, Xiangzi got angry and deliberately put on more force.
The next moment, as if an old man had been reviewing his game for a long time after losing a game, Banami suddenly had a clear mind and subconsciously raised his body.
"Yeah, I should have unleashed my power back then, I'm such an idiot!"
Xiangzi was stunned by his sudden thrust and before he could react, he was violently attacked by Banami, who had turned his grief and anger into strength.
"Damn it, Mitsuba Hatsuka, Mitsuba Hatsuka, you just wait... I'll make you pay tomorrow, Mitsuba Hatsuka!!!"
"Xi... wait... wait... slow down..." Xiangzi was getting a little dazed.
Don't... call out other girls' names in front of me!
I feel like I'm experiencing a very new kind of Tauren!
Chapter Twenty-Six: Two People Traveling Together (
In the room late at night, the table lamp cast a warm yellow glow, stretching the shadows of the two sisters long.
Hatsune and Chuka lay on the same bed, half an arm's length apart. The only sounds in the air were the occasional whistling of the wind outside the window and the faint light from Chuka's phone screen.
Because Hatsune's own room in the new house wasn't ready yet, she had to share a room with her younger sister for the time being, which was a long time coming for Hatsune.
Hatsune asked proactively, "Hey, Hatsuka-chan, how was your day in Haneoka? Was it smooth? Did you make any friends?"
Hatsune was actually quite worried that her younger sister would be bullied after coming to Tokyo from the countryside, since she had worried about this issue before. Fortunately, the atmosphere in Hanasaki River was quite nice.
Chu Hua, who had been looking at her phone screen with a smile on her lips, said without turning her head, "Sis, do you think I would be bullied with your reputation around?"
Everyone's eager to get to know you through me.
"Oh... I see. It's good that she wasn't bullied." Hatsune said with a hint of happiness, after all, this was a way for her to help her sister indirectly, even though Chu Hua hadn't told her about it beforehand when she received the call that morning.
Hatsune thought to herself that she would never have done something so daring.
“And…” Just as Hatsune’s lips were about to curl into a smile, Chu Hua said, “With Xi-ge here, who would be so blind as to bully me?”
Hatsune was slightly taken aback, but judging from Hatsuka's tone, she seemed to have become quite familiar with the boy, and she quickly realized something: "Uh, you were just chatting with Hachiman-kun?"
"Yeah, what happened? That noob Xi-ge got utterly crushed by me at the arcade, and he won't admit it. Now he's dragging me around nagging. I bet he won't be able to sleep when he gets home tonight."
"But he's quite interesting. Although he trash-talks and gets red-hot when I'm beating him up, he's actually very emotionally stable. I've never met anyone like that before..."
Chu Hua chattered on and on, just like when she was a child and would come back from playing with Xiao Xiang to share her experiences with herself.
Unlike back then, she was familiar with Banami earlier than Hatsuka, and they were even in a romantic relationship to some extent.
Seeing Hatsune become acquainted with her lover should have made her happy, but Hatsune's seemingly innate dark and pessimistic mindset always made her uneasy.
Especially... she had just texted Yuuki, but he hadn't replied at all. Hatsune skillfully convinced herself that Yuuki must be busy with something else (although Hatsune didn't know what he was busy with).
But reality relentlessly dealt him a blow.
Xi Jun, you're clearly chatting with my sister, so why aren't you replying to my texts?
Is it more interesting to chat with my sister than to talk to me?
Banami: What else?
I'm back. That familiar feeling is back, that feeling from when I was little, when I could only watch my little sister play with my always curious little Xiang.
Hatsune Miku couldn't resist the urge to crawl in the shadows again.
Ugh, I really am just a maggot. I'm clearly a maggot, yet I still fantasize, fantasizing that I can win Xi Jun's favor and be more likable than Chu Hua.
Just as the girl was about to cry again, she saw Chu Hua curled up, her shoulders shaking, as if she was trying to suppress a laugh.
Am I really such a joke?
Hatsune thought to herself, but she quickly realized that her sister was definitely not laughing at her (at least not now).
"Hatsuka-chan, are you really that happy chatting with... Yu-kun?" the girl asked with a hint of resentment.
"Of course! It's so much fun to beat up weaker opponents!" Chu Hua chuckled.
Then she happily shared with her sister next to her: "Sis, you know what? Xi-ge is like an old man who lost a game of chess. He's still reviewing the game for me. If only he had done this or that, he wouldn't have lost. Hahaha, this guy is so cute."
After saying that, Chu Hua began to toss and turn on the bed without any ladylike manners.
"Uh..." Hatsune tried to force a smile, but her muscles looked a little stiff.
Who can tell her what this child is saying, and why he can resonate with Xi Jun's emotions? She doesn't understand at all.
Chu Hua's breathing gradually calmed down, and then she said softly, "Sister, do you remember when we slept together on the island when we were little?"
Hatsune was slightly taken aback, wondering why her younger sister would ask such a question.
"Back then, there were many insect sounds outside the window, and you could see many stars when you looked up, but you don't have any of these in Tokyo."
It was only early autumn, but the area outside the window was eerily quiet, completely unlike the island the two sisters were familiar with.
Hearing what Chu Hua said, Hatsune was also inexplicably moved.
"But Tokyo also has its likable aspects. There's my older sister, Xiaoxiang, and the people at school are quite interesting..."
Hearing her sister's words, Hatsune momentarily forgot her resentment and took on the responsibility of being an older sister, saying, "Um, Hatsuka-chan, I don't have a performance tomorrow, and it's the weekend, so I'll show you around Tokyo."
Chu Hua refused outright: "No need, I've made plans to hang out with Xi Ge tomorrow."
"Huh?!"
Is what you're doing serious?
Moreover, it's the weekend, so why didn't Xi Jun ask me, his girlfriend, out, but instead asked you to hang out with him?
He... hasn't replied to my text message yet.
***
The next morning, at the Sankaku family's dining table, a spirited Hatsuka had just finished breakfast and asked her older sister across from her, "Hatsune-neechan, why do you look so tired?"
Compared to the radiant Hatsuka, Hatsune Miku now appears somewhat dull; the two are like opposite ends of a mirror, the contrast is too obvious.
"Ah...it's nothing, I just don't like sleeping in unfamiliar beds."
She had nightmares all night, and the content of those dreams was something she didn't want to recall.
"Oh, I see. Well, I'm free today, so Hatsune-nee, you should stay home and catch up on your sleep."
After Chu Hua finished speaking, she slowly stood up and said to Ms. Nao, "Mom, I made plans to go out with my classmates today, so I'm heading out now."
After saying that, the girl put on her familiar baseball cap and left her new home with light steps.
Ms. Nao asked with slight doubt, "Hakka has already made friends at school."
Hatsune nodded with tears in her eyes, "The one I've met is my boyfriend."
But Hatsune simply couldn't tell her mother this.
She stood up somewhat hastily and said, "Mom, I need to go back to the office."
"Didn't you say today was a day off?" Ms. Nao asked.
Suddenly, I remembered something.
Inexplicably, Chu Hua's voice appeared in Hatsune's mind, saying to her: "Hatsune-nee, I'm going out with your boyfriend, you won't be angry, will you?"
Then she turned to Yu-kun and said: "Miss Hatsune is not like me. I only feel sorry for Giegie."
Although the girl knew it was all in her imagination, she couldn't help but secretly follow the two of them.
However, to her surprise, when she secretly followed behind and saw her sister meet up with her lover, she accidentally encountered a "colleague".
"SAKI-chan, why are you here?" Hatsune asked, somewhat surprised.
Xiangzi looked at the two people not far away and said with some anger on his face, "Hana was already calling out Hatsuka's name while she was sleeping with me, so why do you think I'm here?"
"Huh?!"
Chapter Twenty-Seven: Who goes fishing without a helmet?
For Xiao Xiang and Hatsune's tracking team, there is both good news and bad news.
Good news: Like the other tracking team yesterday, their destination had little to do with a love hotel, unless they wanted to expose themselves in the wild.
