Returning the props to the middle school students hiding behind the curtains, Naoki and Miku continue their haunted house adventure.
"Wow!"
A monster head with a blue face and fangs suddenly fell from the air.
Miku was surprised and instinctively grabbed Naoki's hand.
"Do not be afraid." Naoki's eyes were sharp and he comforted Miku "It's just a prop tied with string."
Miku stretched out half of her face and looked up nervously. Upon closer inspection, the rope above the evil ghost's head was actually quite thick.
After completing the daunting task, the head of the evil spirit slowly floated up Miku watched it closely and found that someone had lured it back with a bamboo stick.
"What if I don't do it right and hit the guest?" Miku asked curiously.
"It's very simple." Naoki said of course, "You have to lose money."
After being frightened several times in a row, Miku finally realized the fact that she was a "coward", and honestly grabbed Naoki's right hand, and never let go.
The two continued to walk forward.
Along the way, they come across many terrifying bridges, but unfortunately, for Naoki who once ventured into the dream world, there is no fear at all.
The haunted house classroom area is not big, the two walked for a while, and soon reached the second round.
"Ula-"
The black curtain on the side of the passage suddenly lifted, and a vampire with a cloak, ten pointed fingers and white bandages wrapped around his arms suddenly jumped out and flew towards Naoki.
"Va-Vampire?"
Miku opened her eyes wide, her body instinctively blocked in front of Naoki.
Naoki looked calm, extended his right hand to the vampire who was rushing over, and then...
A brain collapse instantly bounced off.
"Ouch, it hurts!"
The vampire hugged his head and squatted defensively, with tears in his eyes, "Silly Nii-chan, flick my forehead again, and I'll turn into an idiot if you flick it again."
"When did you get the illusion that you weren't an idiot?"
"Nii-chan, I'm mad!"
Miku opened her eyes when she heard the voice, and looked surprised, "Rin-chan?"
"It's me." Rin quickly became satisfied, "Did I just scare you?"
Miku covered her chest and gently twitched the corner of her mouth: "...Scared."
She suddenly understood why the sign on the door said it was forbidden to hit the haunted house staff.
Suddenly jumping out and throwing it at the other person's face, it would be strange not to be beaten!
"Rin-chan, you can't say it like this."
While talking, another vampire in a cloak stepped out.
Miku quickly recognized the identity of the second vampire: "Yuika-chan?"
"Miku-senpai, good afternoon."
Yuika bowed slightly, her voice as soft and weak as ever.
At this moment, her small face was as white as snow, she was wearing red contact lenses, and there were two sharp canine teeth at the corners of her mouth. It unexpectedly matched the image of a vampire.
"Don't worry." Rin said carelessly, "I know the identities of Nii-chan and Miku Onee-san, so I'll hurry up, and the others won't come close."
Naoki reached out and brushed Rin's hair: "So do you have to thank me for the surprise just now?"
"Haunted house class." Rin lifted her chin proudly, "What's a haunted house if not scary... Well, Nii-chan put your hands away, my hair will be a mess."
"Coughs." Coughing came from behind the curtains, reminding me with a pepan voice, "Rin-chan, new guests are coming."
"Nii-chan, Miku senpai, go." Rin immediately entered the state of "Go, Yuika-chan and I will continue to scare."
Besides being cute, dressing up as a vampire isn't scary at all. Be careful, you two are taken away and taken home!
Continuing along the passage made by piles of desks, Naoki and Miku quickly walked out of the haunted house classroom.
The bright sun fell, and Naoki turned to look at Miku: "Now you know why no one is screaming?"
"No way, that's actually quite scary." Miku came, "For example, the evil spirit head that suddenly fell…"
Halfway through the conversation, Miku remembered that she was still holding Naoki's hand, she quickly let go of his hand, put her hand behind her back, and stopped talking.
Naoki suggested, "How about playing some more?"
Miku's eyes slanted: "Go."
...
Haunted house classroom is enough, and there is no freshness in playing it again.
"Let's go find something to eat."
Naoki and Miku left the middle of the country and walked towards a large field.
More than half a day has passed, and there are still many guests on the field.
"What do you want to eat?" he asked.
"Cold drink, slightly hot..."
Halfway through, Miku's voice suddenly stopped.
Following Miku's gaze, Naoki immediately saw a red-haired girl with hair up her head standing in front of a cart selling skewers.
This is Itsuki.
"Itsuki..."
Miku's facial expression was slightly complicated, and she hesitated whether to turn around and leave.
After yesterday, Miku didn't know how to face Itsuki anymore.
What does Miku want... Does Itsuki know? Does she agree?
To wake up and enter the dream world to do such a thing, no matter how slow Itsuki is, she still knows the true feelings in his heart, right?
"Ah, it's Miku!" Itsuki turned his head and caught a glimpse of Naoki and Miku. She happily ran over with a skewer in his hand, and said, "You two visited the school festival?"
"Not..."
Miku lowered her head feeling guilty.
"That's right." Naoki interrupted Miku, and said without changing his face, Miku and I visited the school festival.
Really say it without hiding it?
Miku couldn't help but look up, Itsuki would be jealous!
"The school festival is really lively, the middle school where Miku and I study is built in a mountain, so it's very remote. Not many people come to the school festival." Itsuki handed the grilled chicken skewers to Naoki. "This."
After speaking, she looked at Miku again, and handed over a bunch of ox tongue and squid, "Give Miku more, I just tried it, and this barbecue tastes really good... Miku only ate in the past few days. After eating half a bowl, I asked her if she wasn't feeling well, and she said no."
Itsuki analyzed seriously: "I feel Miku is thinking about something."
It's really hard for you to know that Miku is thinking something!
"If you have a problem, don't keep it in your heart, say it, and be careful to damage your body." Itsuki took a grilled bird skewer, ate it in one bite, and said faintly. "There's Asakawa-san and me."
"That's right." Naoki nodded and said firmly, "With Itsuki and I here, you can speak directly if you have any problems."
Miku: "... Asakawa is being reckless!"
Going overboard like that, and now you have the nerve to speak up, is it unbearable or!
If there is no Itsuki, you should look good now!
"Miku, why don't you eat it?" Itsuki asked curiously, "If that doesn't suit your taste, I still have it here."
Naoki held out the skewer in his hand, and said without changing his face, "Would you like to eat some chicken skewers?"
"No need!"
Miku bit the skewer in one bite.
There is Naoki's "hate value" that attracts Miku, and the effect is extraordinarily good, at least there is no need to worry about how to get along with Itsuki.
"Hey, it's a pufferfish!"
Itsuki has a very keen sense of smell for food, and at a glance, she saw someone cooking puffer fish.
Naoki turned his head and saw a middle-aged man standing in front of the booth, slowly holding a pufferfish in his hand. There were a lot of people taking pictures next to him, fia looked like a chef, and he must be the parent of a certain student.
The pufferfish is noted in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, "The pufferfish is poisonous, and will kill you if you eat it." Even so, it is still a key ingredient in the world of Japanese cuisine, attracting large crowds of visitors.
During the period of the Shogunate and the Warring States, many samurai were poisoned to death by eating puffer fish. Hideyoshi ordered the people to forbid eating puffer fish, only in modern times that the ban was finally lifted.
Today, if you want to cook puffer fish, you must first pass the puffer chef qualification exam and obtain a chef qualification certificate. This certificate is far more valuable than a certificate of assessing the sex of a chicken. You have at least two years of practical kitchen experience, and you'll need to pass a written test and a skills test not available to most people.
Seeing the pufferfish sashimi slices as thin as cicada wings, Itsuki's eyes lit up and she looked forward to it: "Let's go and eat sashimi?"
"Just forget it." Miku grabbed Itsuki and shook her head gently, "What if you run into danger?"
It is true that no one has been poisoned by pufferfish in recent years. There are always people who catch pufferfish, hide and cook secretly, and eventually die.
There is never a shortage of people in the world who commit suicide. They know that most mushrooms in the wild are poisonous, there are so many people poisoned by mushrooms.
Pufferfish cooked by professional chefs is basically nothing to worry about, just to be on the safe side, Miku held Itsuki down and quickly said:
"If you want to eat, let's go to the dream world to eat..."
In the middle of talking, Miku suddenly closed her lips.
If she wants to enter the dream world, that means...
Miku is right. Itsuki quickly agreed, and said in a serious tone, "Mother worked really hard to take care of us when we were young, and she was reluctant to eat anything good. Next time we enter the dream world, we must bring mother together to eat all the top dishes!"
Miku moved her lips, and words of rejection appeared on her lips, but she still couldn't say them out.
Rolling her eyes, she saw Naoki standing beside her eating as if nothing had happened, Miku's cheeks puffed up rapidly, and her small arms stretched out to Naoki's waist, using the skill Lobster Star.
"Guilty, Harakiri!"
...
The cell phone in the pocket suddenly vibrated.
Naoki took out his cell phone, and it was a message from Ichika.
"Asakawa-kun, what are you doing?"
Ichika seemed to just ask casually.
Naoki replied to the message:
"Together with Miku and Itsuki, eating in the field."
Lying is no longer necessary, and the current situation can be said openly and honestly.
"Un, for Asakawa-kun's honesty, there's a reward."
So it's not unreasonable to say you sent the message, but it was planned!
Ichika continues to message:
"If Asakawa-kun can find me in one minute, there will be an additional reward."
Naoki turned around and looked around. There were lots of tourists, but no sign of Ichika.
"Fifty seconds to go."
Ichigo sent a message.
"Since it's not on the field, then it's..."
Naoki's mind drifted, and he looked at the teaching building behind him.
Looking at the floor where the classroom was located, he swept through the crowd and quickly saw a girl with short pink hair lying by the window.
Seeing Naoki turn his head, the girl with short pink hair showed a happy smile and waved her hand gently.
"It only took 30 seconds to find me. For Asakawa-kun's good performance, the reward is doubled."
"So what's the reward?"
"Go on a date alone with me."
Seeing Itsuki, who was all about food, and Miku staring at him from time to time, Naoki quickly made a wise choice, put down his cell phone, and went to look for Ichika.
...
After a while.
Classroom corner.
"Asakawa-kun~"
Ichika hugged Naoki's arm, rubbing it like a cat. If there weren't too many tourists at school, it wouldn't hug his arm, but his neck.
Naoki paused: "Why have I never seen you so attached before?"
"Is there anything wrong with men?" Ichika said confidently.
"That's right…" Naoki rolled his eyes "Your classmate is here."
Ichika immediately let go and stood up straight.
The most popular among the Quintuplets are the Yotsuba, who cannot refuse as long as someone asks, and the little angel who is willing to help others, followed by Ichika.
Don't look at staying in bed every day at home, never cooking, but in class, Ichika is very popular, gentle, intellectual, cute, like the neighbor's big sister, always takes care of others... Her only disadvantage may be that her academic performance is too bad.
After waiting for a while, no classmates passed by, Ichika puffed her cheeks slightly, "Asakawa-kun is a big liar, bullied me, no extra reward."
Naoki complained: "You have promised so many rewards before, but you only cashed in a few times."
"I didn't forget." Ichika put her hands behind her back "I originally planned to collect the bounty and give Asakawa-kun a super present."
"Super jackpots?" Naoki looked at Kazuki "What?"
Ichika stood on her tiptoes, her face a little red, and she whispered in Naoki's ear softly.
Naoki's heart skipped a beat.
Ichika blew lightly on Naoki's ear, dropped a bomb, and fled far away, "But Asakawa-kun's harem wish ran out of rewards at one time, and now there's nothing left."
Naoki calmed himself down: "I don't believe it."
"Useless stimulation." Ichika put her hands behind her back and walked forward quickly, "Asakawa-kun, let's collect rewards again."
After walking a few steps, Ichika looked back, "...Where did Miku go before?"
Naoki doesn't hide it: "In junior school, I went to Rin's class haunted house."
"What about Itsuki?"
"I don't know." Naoki shook his head "I saw Itsuki eating in the field when I came back, so I don't think she ever left."
Ichika nodded lightly: "I will also go to the haunted house."
