Chapter 251: Equivalent Exchange
Shinichi stopped looking at the stars, only saw a dark and gloomy forest in the distance.
"...A number of." He spoke.
"...Eh?" Yotsuba were confused.
"I said, there is." He simply repeated, "There is a way for forest school to be carried out safely and smoothly, so that everyone can graduate safely... There is a way."
"Is it true?"
Yotsuba had an expression of disbelief on her face, and Shinichi smiled.
"What are you surprised about? Didn't you ask me to tell you?"
Had Yotsuba asked that question out of anticipation? Now the reactions are quite contradictory.
"No, no…" Yotsuba tried to find the words to express the confusion in her heart at this moment, "Eh? Is it true? Such a method sounds like magic…"
"Yes, but it does come at a price." Shinichi clapped his hands, and said, "One is all, all is one, equal exchange is the truth of the world."
Yotsuba took a step back in shock: "Whoa, that looks really suspicious..."
"Ahem!" Shinichi wouldn't be happy at all if he was praised for his performance as a chuunibyou. "In short, like you said earlier, if you are willing to help everyone and ensure the safety of the Forest School, if it ends without incident, you will have to pay a very high price..."
Shinichi looked at her and said seriously: "Have you made up your mind?"
Yotsuba didn't hesitate, and nodded: "Of course!"
Shinichi smiled, "Then the deal is done."
Yotsuba became absent-minded and thought that Shinichi would give some explanations, but she didn't expect that after he finished speaking, just waved his hand and went straight back to the cabin.
Shinichi was about to close the door, but found Yotsuba following him into the room.
"Uh... I haven't said good night to you yet?" He tentatively pointed at the door, "Good night, have a nice dream?"
Yotsuba complained, "Asada-san, what's wrong with leaving without explaining anything?"
"Then you don't need to come with me, it's already late at night..." Shinichi didn't think there was anything wrong with doing that.
"I know what you want to ask... But the principle is very difficult to explain, I can only tell you this..."
He pushed Yotsuba out of the door and whispered.
"In the future, live each day comfortably, let you and everyone around you enjoy the forest school with vitality and happiness, and when the forest school ends perfectly, a price will be charged from you…"
"Do not believe. After all, it doesn't cost anything, just try it and you'll know."
Facing the gaze of Yotsuba, who seemed to be looking at a child trafficking scammer, Shinichi tapped her on the shoulder and said to her.
"Remember, if you are still afraid of messing all this up after tonight, that means you are not aware enough, and an equal exchange will fail. Don't blame me for lying to you."
"But…" Yotsuba wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Shinichi.
"No buts, trust me."
"I don't know if you had someone you could trust before, but now, trust me and leave everything to me."
"Effort, awareness, and belief. This Fengan, according to the law of equal exchange, I will definitely give you a successful forest school."
"Until then, do what you want to do, do what you have to do."
After finishing speaking, Shinichi closed the door.
"Go to bed early, finish work here tomorrow, let's go to the nearest tourist spot together."
Yotsuba was left outside the door, silent in this silent night.
She were powerless.
"Asada-san, I just said it, I'm not that easy to fool..."
She sighed softly, turned around and walked towards the other cabin.
Yotsuba smiled: "It's a bit difficult... If Asada-san could hug me, it might be easy."
"Can I do it?"
She smiled reassuringly, and happily.
"Then do as he says!"
Yotsuba ran towards the cabin.
It wasn't until the wooden door was closed that the wooden door quietly opened on the other side quietly closed again.
