Ke Xue exorcists demons and starts with immobilization

Chapter 141 The Yukata is Very Convenient

The three entered the hotel.

Did the three of you make any reservations in advance?

The young man at the front desk, Kyogoku Makoto, a demon-level immortal, glanced at the three of them without expression.

"some……"

Sonoko immediately responded, providing her phone reservation information.

"Suzuki Sonoko..." Kyogoku Makoto's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt upon hearing the name of the person in front of him. "You're Suzuki Sonoko?"

“That’s right!” Sonoko seemed worried that the young man wouldn’t believe her, and reminded him, “I left my number when I made the reservation. You can call me if you don’t believe me.”

The voice seemed to bring Kyogoku Makoto back to his senses. After looking at Sonoko carefully for a few seconds, he lowered his head and said, "No need... the information matches..."

"We booked...one room...for three people?!"

Upon seeing the reservation information, Makoto Kyogoku raised his voice an octave higher, looked up sharply, and instantly locked his gaze on Chu Zhong.

Chu Zhong felt himself being locked onto by a tiger-like gaze, and a strong sense of crisis made the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end.

If I remember correctly, Makoto Kyogoku seems to have a crush on Sonoko...

"Book another room."

Chu Zhong quickly said, "It's not appropriate for three people to live together."

Upon hearing this, the sense of crisis quickly dissipated.

Sonoko asked doubtfully, "There shouldn't be any rooms available now. When I called to make a reservation, they said there was only one room left."

"Yes! There definitely is!" Makoto Kyogoku replied quickly, frantically flipping through the housing information, and soon 'found' an empty room, taking out two room keys.

After receiving the key, Chu Zhong discovered that his room was on the first floor, while Yuanzi and Xiaolan's rooms were on the second floor.

Needless to say, it was Kyogoku Makoto who did it intentionally.

Fortunately, at this point, his relationship with Sonoko was just one step away from completion. Even if a rival appeared, it wouldn't change anything, so Chu Zhong was naturally not worried at all... as long as Kyogoku Makoto didn't go crazy.

I need to behave myself from now on... at least while I'm in the hotel.

Chu Zhong quickly tossed his luggage into the room and walked to the hotel entrance to wait for Yuanzi and Xiaolan to come down.

The evening's plan is to visit the festival and watch the fireworks, so I need to buy a yukata to wear to suit the atmosphere.

While waiting.

"What do you mean I can't stay in the room I booked?!"

A guest was denied check-in.

"There's a hole in the floor of the room, it's risky to stay here," Makoto Kyogoku explained with a stern face.

The guest shouted, "But I booked a room on the first floor! It's just a hole, what danger could it possibly pose?!"

"The first floor..." Kyogoku Makoto paused for a few seconds, then said without batting an eye, "There are snakes, insects, and rodents under the floorboards... In short, the hotel is fully booked, and there are no vacancies at the moment..."

A short while later, the guest left, grumbling and cursing, "What a lousy hotel, what a waste of my time..."

Chu Zhong stood at the door, pretending not to know anything.

Soon, Sonoko and Ran came downstairs.

The three of them went to a nearby shopping street together.

"That hotel receptionist seems to be a master..."

On the way, Ran Mouri spoke up, "And he looks kind of familiar... Does Chu-kun recognize him?"

Chu Zhong shook his head, pretending not to know.

"An expert? Xiaolan, you must be mistaken."

Sonoko frowned slightly. "That guy's gaze is so strange, it makes me feel uncomfortable."

As she spoke, Yuanzi moved closer to Chu Zhong.

Chu Zhong took Yuanzi's hand and said softly, "It's alright. I'll go to your room tonight and protect you."

These words instantly disrupted Ran Mouri's memory. "But Chu-kun, didn't you say that the hotel was soundproof..."

"What, you don't trust me?" Chu Zhong asked with a smile.

A blush immediately crossed Sonoko and Ran Mouri's faces, and they shook their heads repeatedly.

They were naturally worried about Chu Zhong, but they were worried about themselves... yet they were too ashamed to say it aloud.

Before long, the three arrived at the seaside shopping street, where domestic and foreign tourists were bustling about.

The shopping street mainly sells local specialties, as well as tourist souvenirs, swimsuits, yukatas, kimonos, and other traditional clothing from Japan known for its cherry blossoms.

However, on the way there, Chu Zhong learned that Sonoko and Ran had gone to pick out swimsuits that morning... As for what styles they were and how they would look, he would have to wait until tomorrow on the beach to find out.

Knowing about it but not being able to see it really made Chu Zhong quite itchy.

But I'm even more looking forward to the beach scenery tomorrow.

As for now, all I can do is honestly choose a yukata.

The men's yukata was very simple, and Chu Zhong chose a dark blue one.

Women's yukatas come in a wider variety of styles. Fortunately, Sonoko and Ran didn't keep Chu Zhong waiting long; they only spent half an hour choosing their preferred styles.

Sonoko chose a light blue printed yukata;

Ran Mouri chose a light pink printed yukata.

The yukatas somewhat concealed their figures, but they accentuated the two best friends' beautiful faces even more, making them even more vibrant than the floral prints.

"What does Lord Chu think? Is it beautiful?"

Ran Mouri and Sonoko both cast expectant glances their way.

"Good-looking! Very good-looking!"

Chu Zhong's eyes lit up: "I love it so much!"

A one-piece molded yukata is convenient and discreet if you want to do some subtle things...

"Uh, I'll go pay the bill."

Chu Zhong quickly shook off the thoughts in his head and walked to the front of the stage.

However, the burning affection in his heart had unknowingly been conveyed to the two girls, bringing a satisfied smile to the young woman's face.

"Ran/Sonoko, what are you grinning about?"

Upon seeing each other's faces, the two best friends couldn't help but ask the same question in unison. Then, they both touched their faces and found them to be burning hot...

Seeing their perfectly synchronized actions, the two best friends couldn't help but laugh again.

After changing back into their original clothes and leaving the yukata shop, the three of them strolled around the shopping street for a while, picking out souvenirs to bring back to their friends and family.

They shopped until 5 p.m., then the three of them returned to the hotel carrying large and small bags.

The Kyogoku family's guesthouse is small and only has a simple shower room.

After a quick shower, the three of them returned to their respective rooms to rest and wait for night to fall.

"Little Lan, Little Lan~"

In a guest room on the second floor, Sonoko leaned close to her best friend and asked, "When Chu Jun said 'I like you' just now, you felt it too, right?"

Mentioning this, Ran Mouri instantly recalled her feelings from that time and exclaimed in surprise, "So Sonoko, you also..."

Seeing that Sonoko nodded,

Ran Mouri continued shyly, "I thought it was just my imagination, but I always felt... that Chu-kun loved me deeply..."

Sonoko nodded and said, "They say you can feel when someone likes you... I didn't expect it to be this exaggerated..."

"Even though I was only one step away from Chu Jun, a single sentence from him still made my heart flutter~"

Sonoko hugged her best friend, distressed, "Ran, what should I do? I feel like if this continues, if Chu Jun says 'I like you' again, I won't be able to hold back!"

Ran Mouri sighed, "It's all because Sonoko you booked this hotel... And Chu-kun is right, let's just bear with it a little longer~"

"At worst, when we watch the fireworks tonight, we'll..."

Hearing about her best friend's plan, Sonoko's eyes lit up, and she chuckled, "Ran, I didn't expect you to be so bold..."

After being glared at by Ran Mouri in annoyance, Sonoko quickly corrected herself, "I meant, so smart."

At seven o'clock in the evening, night fell.

Chu Zhong slept for a while longer and regained his energy.

The three of them, dressed in yukatas, reunited at the entrance of the inn.

Chu Zhong accompanied Xiao Lan and Yuan Zi as they strolled towards the festival street.

The festival street was bustling with activity, with countless food stalls, dessert stalls, and game stalls on both sides.

The three of them skipped dinner, deliberately saving their appetites, and strolled around eating various snacks while playing games like goldfish scooping.

However, as they strolled around, Chu Zhong noticed that Xiao Lan and Yuan Zi, aside from their initial excitement, were now somewhat distracted, with their heads slightly lowered and walking slowly, seemingly not very interested.

"Are you tired?"

Seeing that they were slightly sweaty and their faces were flushed, Chu Zhong said with concern, "Why don't we stop here for today and go back to the hotel to rest?"

Sonoko nodded, then shook her head. "We know a great spot to watch the fireworks! We just found it!"

After saying that, the two best friends led Chu Zhong to a slope not far from the beach.

Chu Zhong checked the time: 8:15.

Starting at 8:30 pm tonight, there will be a large-scale fireworks display on the beach, and the best viewing spot is the beach.

The downside is that the beach will be packed with people, and you'll have to stand and watch.

The location of this slope is somewhat remote and tricky, surrounded by low shrubs, with a grassy area in the middle.

Not far from the beach, undisturbed, with excellent visibility, it's like a hidden gem for watching fireworks known only to locals.

Chu Zhong couldn't help but suspect that Xiao Lan and Yuan Zi had come out to search for this place during their break.

Otherwise, why would I be so tired?

"call--!"

Sonoko then sat casually on the grass, untied her yukata, opened it, and fanned herself a few times as if to cool off, complaining, "It's all Ran's fault for coming up with such a terrible idea..."

Chu Zhong couldn't help but lean closer to take a look and discovered that Sonoko's skin under her yukata was completely unprotected and was chafed and red from the yukata.

Immediately afterwards, Ran Mouri also untied her yukata sash...

Chapter 142 Under the Beautiful Fireworks, a Demon Immortal-Level Dungeon

Chu Zhong remembered a saying that the traditional way of wearing a yukata in Japan is that there are no undergarments underneath, since it is so covered up that wearing too many clothes would be stuffy.

That's the situation Sonoko and Ran are in right now.

The yukata is practically just a large piece of cloth. After the sash is removed, Sonoko and Ran's yukatas look like sheets draped over their backs.

"It's all Xiaolan's fault for that terrible idea; she said it would be cooler to wear that way~"

Sonoko puffed out her chest and leaned closer in a coquettish tone, saying, "Chu-kun~ Look~ My delicate skin got a little red from all the chafing while we were shopping earlier~"

It was already night, and there were no lights around, only some moonlight for illumination, so it was difficult to see clearly.

Upon hearing this, Chu Zhong gently touched the area and found that a small spot on Yuanzi's skin was indeed a bit hot and hard, so he helped to rub it to relieve the discomfort.

"Chu-kun is so nice~" Sonoko took the opportunity to lean directly into his arms.

"Chu Jun~" Xiao Lan's voice rang out as she leaned against Chu Zhong's other side, murmuring softly, "Give me a massage too~"
