Chapter 356: 175. Heading Towards the Daily Life of Winter Camping (4)_3

Hanaoka Asako, hidden behind the cello, Ichiki Aoi pressing the pistons of the tenor horn, two brass players whose last names were all they knew, and Mayi Asuka guiding them.

"Excuse me," said Kiyono Lin as she greeted them, "Asuka, may I discuss something with you?"

Mayi Asuka looked at Kiyono Lin... and then at Dubian Che, nodding her head, "...Okay."

Ichiki Aoi clutched the bowstring in her hand, watching the three leave.

At this moment, the sky had turned deep blue, and soon it would be dark.

There was no breeze in the corridor, but for high school girls wearing only knee socks, it was too cold.

The three returned to the Human Observation Department’s activity room.

Kiyono Lin finally relaxed her arms from her chest, revealing a comfortable and relieved expression.

When she removed the scarf from around her neck, she habitually flicked her hair.

The faint scent of her hair reached Dubian Che’s nose.

"Asuka, we wanted to talk to you about the test of courage. To make it more effective, I’ve prepared..."

Watching Kiyono Lin explain the reason, Dubian Che couldn’t help but guess: just now, in the music room, did this guy not want to talk because he was too cold after walking outside?

After listening to Kiyono Lin’s explanation, Mayi Asuka, who had an expressionless face except for blinking, nodded.

"...I get it." She took a map and drew a route on it.

Then, she gestured towards Dubian Che with open hands.

"Hm?" Dubian Che looked at her, puzzled.

"Notes, and also a pen, I’ll write down all the props, the ways to scare people." In Mayi Asuka’s indifferent tone was a trace of almost imperceptible gentleness.

"Oh, okay." Dubian Che took out a Japanese language notebook and a pencil case from the backpack at his feet.

When Mayi Asuka took them, her index finger slightly brushed Dubian Che’s hand.

Kiyono Lin frowned slightly.

Mayi Asuka wrote the relevant information in the notebook; there was not a sound in the Human Observation Department’s room.

Kiyono Lin browsed the camping site information on her phone, while Dubian Che read "Chasing Water Years."

About five minutes passed.

Mayi Asuka placed the notebook, filled with four pages of writing, in the center of the three of them.

Dubian Che glanced at it, not paying too much attention to the specific content, but judging from the layout of the text, Mayi Asuka was definitely skilled at taking notes.

Even the meticulous Kiyono Lin nodded in seemingly approval.

"Thank you, Asuka," she said.

"...Yeah." Mayi Asuka twirled the ’pencil from a country side variety store in Iwate Prefecture,’ "Once we have a budget, I can accompany you to buy the props, I know a specialized store."

Hearing this, Kiyono Lin’s flawless eyes, like a clear winter sky, widened slightly.

Mayi Asuka was famously aloof. Providing information was one thing, but to proactively suggest shopping for props together...

She glanced back and forth between Dubian Che and Mayi Asuka and said, "That would be great, Asuka. It’ll probably be this Saturday or Sunday."

"...Yeah." Mayi Asuka put down the pen, "Goodbye."

"Goodbye, Asuka."

After Mayi Asuka left, Dubian Che expected another round of ’police interrogation,’ but to his surprise, Kiyono Lin kept looking at the notebook, without uttering a word.

The sky turned pitch black, and the high-rise buildings of the Shinjuku District glowed with multicolored lights when the two ended their club activities.

Just as they left the campus, on a night where the temperature hovered at 7 degrees, wearing only a tracksuit, Kunii Shuichi ran up to them.

He must have just finished his club activities; he was drenched in sweat.

He walked up to Dubian Che’s right side—on the left was Kiyono Lin, her face sheltered within her scarf.

"Dubian, I need to talk to you about something," he whispered.

"What is it?"

"You think, if someone gets confessed to, would they care even a little bit about the other person?"

"Not at all," Dubian Che replied decisively.

He knew what Kunii Shuichi was thinking: it was still about Ichiki Aoi. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

"That’s what I thought too!" Kunii Shuichi slapped Dubian Che on the shoulder.

"Huh?"

Just when Dubian Che wondered if he had guessed wrong, Kunii Shuichi continued:

"How can a confession be enough! My next move—hand-holding! If hand-holding doesn’t work, then hugging! If hugging doesn’t work, then kissing!"

"...If hugging doesn’t work, you think kissing will? You’re sixteen now; I suggest you better not do anything that harasses women."

"No, I mean... whatever, I didn’t mean it like that! Anyway, I just wanted you to know, I won’t give up!" Kunii Shuichi showed Dubian Che his clenched fist.

The calluses on his palm had turned yellow from playing baseball; they were a symbol of his effort and a condition for making it to Koshien.

"Go talk to Saito about this kind of thing," Dubian Che refused.

"No, no, he would definitely blab about it, but you’ve been tested!"

Kunii Shuichi’s tested meant after they returned from the Capital City, when both of them asked Dubian Che if he knew Ichiki Aoi liked Mayi Asuka.

And Dubian Che told them he hadn’t said anything because he was considering personal privacy.

"I didn’t say anything because Ichiki is a girl, I’m not that kind-hearted to boys," Dubian Che said, deliberately sounding annoyed.

"But we’re friends! Comrades in arms, having slain dragons together!"

"The life and death in a game, why are you so excited about it."

"I don’t care, you have to help me!" Kunii Shuichi insisted.

"I don’t care, I’m not going to help you."

"I don’t don’t care, you have to help me."

"No, talking to you like this is disgusting, please stay away from me."

The evening breeze disbursed their completely meaningless everyday banter.

Kiyono Lin on Dubian Che’s left, and Kunii Shuichi, who wouldn’t stop talking, on the right, the three of them went down the slope toward Shibuya Station.
