The first day of training wrapped up with the hustle and bustle of training and cleaning.
Ziongzong reluctantly began to help pack up the equipment after failing in his last challenge of weight endurance training.
--To much bravery, I can't imagine how sore my hands will be tomorrow ...... ......
"Yo, Uesugi, are you done?
Eiji Hayamizu came towards Ziongzong, holding a book in his hand, titled "A Guide to Advanced Mandarin".
"Well, we're almost done."
"Then let's go take a shower together."
"...... I refuse."
On this Genting Rock, a separate bathroom is indeed an overly extravagant facility, and all there is is a public bathhouse.
Also as a male, it's not really a big deal to go to a public bathhouse together.
But when Eiji Hayamizu asked to take a bath together, Ziongzong instinctively refused.
There was always an indescribable feeling of danger that forced Ziongzong to refuse.
"Why refuse? It's not going to happen.
"You can find someone else, it's not like we're the only two guys."
"I've been shopping around and the only men who haven't gone to the bathhouse are me and you."
"Can't you go by yourself?"
"I'll be lonely alone."
"What are you lonely for?"
"Why are you so serious about refusing to take a bath together?
After a verbal battle, it was still hard to distinguish between the two, no, it was hard to distinguish between the two.
Then, Eiji Hayamizu seemed to have suddenly understood something and smiled wickedly all of a sudden.
"Could it be that ...... you are worried about that?"
"Which one?"
The first thing you can do is to look at Ziongzong's bewildered and innocent face, and then Eiji Hayamizu very kindly put his arm around Ziongzong's shoulders and whispered.
"Don't worry, you won't be asked to pick up soap.
"Hmm? Pick up soap?"
"So you don't even know that, well, I guess so, how would you know that.
Ziongzong was going to resist, but after today's training, his arms were too weak to resist, so he gave in to Ziongzong's capricious request.
Five minutes later, Ziongzong saw a large number of uninterested expressions of helplessness.
This bunch of Kyoto high school students originally thought that the world bathhouse are the same, the results to go in, only to find that the bathhouse here only standing shower facilities, and completely no soaking pool.
So a group of people after the shower is still not willing, standing in the hot water right as a bath.
"This is not scientific! How can it be considered a bathhouse without a pool! Bastard!!!"
Eiji Hayamizu complained while drenching himself in hot water.
"I'll leave after I'm done with the water."
Ziongzong was very comfortable to settle the fight in ten minutes, and the cultural differences were reflected here. In Ziongzong's opinion, the faster you can finish bathing, the better, provided that you are clean, while on the other hand, the most important thing is to wash your body and take a comfortable bath.
"The first time I heard Ziongzong was going to leave, I immediately chased after him, just like the upper part of a girl's body flips when she runs, the lower part of a boy's body flips violently when he runs.
Then, the speedy water slipped and fell on his back.
Honestly, this is not really an elegant sight.
Some things are like this, knowing that they will not be very pleasant to look at, but still can not help but look at the eyes.
The person's hands are cheap and occasionally the eyes are cheap.
Ziongzong scolded himself for this, while still intentionally or unintentionally looked at a certain part of the speed water.
"The actual pain ...... is killing me, why don't you give me a hand?
"Ahem! I was just about to pull you."
Ziongzong hurriedly withdrew his eyes, took hold of the hand of the speedy water and pulled him up.
"You're in such a hurry to keep me here, you don't have a boring reason, do you?
"Boring reason? You underestimate me too much, Uesugi."
I'm not sure if I've come to the bathhouse.
"Since we're in the bathhouse, of course it's that!
Even if he was naive and innocent, there was really no reason for Ziongzong to not get the hint here.
"Don't joke about it, I won't do it."
Although the mouth clearly expresses the negative meaning, but as an adolescent male creature, Ziongzong's heart is still more or less a little bit stupid.
"Oh? You really won't do it? Or don't you dare?"
"If I said no, I'm not going."
"What are you worried about, the lack of a good way to invade, or the consequences of being discovered?
"I ......"
"Actually, I had scouted before I got you to come to the bathhouse. There are some big trees behind the women's bathhouse, and you can see inside through the vents by climbing up the trees."
"......"
At this point in the conversation, Ziongzong could no longer speak.
The collapse of the inner unsteady position is just like that, right?
"The actual "I don't want to pretend to be a gentleman at this time, but obey your heart's desire hahaha.
Five minutes later, Ziongzong was brought to the back of the women's bathhouse by the speedy water.
This time, there was no excuse like "I was going to resist, but after today's training, my arms were weak and I couldn't resist, so I had to comply with Speedy's arbitrary request".
"The tree of this magnitude is not a problem to climb, right?
The trunk of the tree was at least four meters above the lowest point of the ground.
"I don't think it will be a problem.
Ziongzong thought so, and he was more concerned about how Speedy was going to climb it than he was.
"I'll go up first."
The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.
"Uh."
Now Ziongzong only needs to worry about himself.
Five minutes later, Ziongzong was on his hands and knees, climbing up with difficulty.
"What's wrong with this mess? Not sharp enough, Uesugi."
"It's not that I'm too slow ...... it's that your speed is too exaggerated."
Ziongzong responded to the spit of the speed water while finding a sturdy place to land on the trunk of the tree.
Well, it seems that everything is ready.
Then it was time for the crowd to enjoy the benefits.
"I think there are girls in the bathhouse now, Uesugi.
Ziongzong felt that he had no reason or excuse to act like a gentleman now that he was in such a place.
I'm not going to be able to get a lot of money for this.
The fact that it is not so bright as to be sinless, but the fact that adolescent boys go together in pairs to spy on female bathhouses is really just the extent of making people laugh.
"...... hmm."
Technically speaking, the place that Eiji Hayamizu found was not too good.
Although hiding in the tree canopy provides excellent concealment, this concealment is based on the premise that the view is sacrificed. The bathhouse is only one level, but the height is about four or five meters. The vent Eiji Hayamizu found is located at the top of the wall, so Sosui and Ziongzong can only peer into the bathhouse from above.
Due to the structure of individual compartments inside the bathhouse, the only thing Ziongzong could actually see was three or four compartments.
"I have a question," said Ziongzong.
"Well? What?"
"The weather has not yet warmed up, and there will be a lot of moisture when they start showering.
"You don't understand, Uesugi."
"Don't understand what?"
"How can it be considered peeping in the ladies' bath without water mist? With the water mist, we can enjoy the pleasure of being hidden!
After three conversations, Ziongzong realized once again that he had underestimated the extent of Eiji Hayamizu's perversion.
The history of the evolution of human perversion will never end.
"It's a mistake for me to ask you such a question.
"Whatever you say, I saw Uesugi Yui."
"Where is it? Where is it?
"Three o'clock."
"...... that back is obviously not Yui."
"You can be so sure from such a distance with just a back view, can you still deny that you don't have special feelings for Uesugi Yui?
"Of course we know each other well, don't accuse me of that."
"Is that Katagiri Mai at 1:00?
"Of course. ...... Wait, you're not deliberately trying to trick me, are you, Speedy?"
"What? You think too much, really, so I missed a few people."
Ziongzong vaguely felt that the speedy water may be testing which girl he really likes, so he asked this rhetorical question.
But what's the point of testing which girl he likes?
Ziongzong tossed this question aside, and the female bathhouse in view was more important at the moment.
The girls went in and out, and the mist of water in the bathhouse began to thicken.
The expressions on the faces of both boys looked rather sad.
After five minutes, Eiji Hayamizu was finally pressed.
"Well Uesugi, I feel I have to ask a question."
"Ask it."
"Why is there no place for people to undress at the entrance to the bathhouse here, but you have to go into the cubicle to undress?
"...... I'm sorry about that too. In fact, not all bathhouses are like this, there are also bathhouses where you can take off your clothes at the entrance.
"I thought I was coming to spy on the women's bathhouse today, but it turned out I was just climbing a tree.
"The next time you climb a tree, don't forcefully drag me over to the speed water.
The water mist gradually thickened, and finally was finally reached to completely block the view of the vent end.
To this point, they can only be a strike.
The actual "ah ...... how to say ...... just purely mental voyeurism, the body can also be very pleasant well, you say right Uesugi."
"I don't know what you're talking about, I only have a sense of sad emptiness right now." -
two sad adolescents, left the lovely tree and returned to the reality of the earth.
After a simple dinner, Ziongzong found a piece of unoccupied grass and began to organize his thoughts and clues.
There are too many things happening, and if we don't organize them, Ziongzong feels sure that he will make a serious mistake.
Just as Ziongzong sat down on the grass, Ito Tomono, wearing a skirt, came over.
Since Ziongzong was sitting on the lower slope of the grass and Ito Tomono was coming from the upper slope, this made Ziongzong intentionally and unintentionally, see some harmonious and pleasant ...... fabrics.
Yes, the special piece of fabric that normally, humans would wear pants or skirts to cover up.
This particular piece of fabric evoked the sad memories of Ziongzong's failed attempt to peep into the female bathhouse just now.
"What's wrong, Uesugi-senpai? Do you look so sad that you failed to peep into the female bathhouse?"
"Huh?"
Ito Tomono's careless joke almost sank Ziongzong.
Ziongzong firmly believed that his operation with the speedy water must be seamless and impossible to leak, so he barely managed to hold his breath.
Since Ito Tomono came, then continue thinking is certainly impossible, before being held by her topic, Ziongzong felt that we should talk about something else to ease the atmosphere.
The atmosphere of the female bathhouse.
"Nothing, I just feel a little confused.
"Don't understand what?"
"You were so insistent on opening a new Kyudo club, but then you gave in so easily, I don't understand.
Ziongzong's thoughtless question hit Ito Tomono right in the heart.
Ito Tomono was shaken by this question, much more than Ziongzong was by the female bathhouse earlier.
After a few moments of hesitation, Ito Tomono answered the question.
"Girls are very fickle, no matter what age they are."
"......"
Ziongzong couldn't help but nod in agreement. When it comes to the fickleness of girls, he has been a frequent victim of it since he arrived in Kyoto.
However, in the case of Ito Tomono, is that really the case?
Even though Ito Tomono seemed to have no hard feelings, Ziongzong couldn't get over it.
If it was as simple as she said, that would be good.
But right now Ziongzong had no time to care about anyone else.
"So you came to me just to talk?
"Actually ......"
hearing that Ziongzong wanted to kick her out, Ito Tomono had no choice but to cut to the chase.
She Tomono scanned the surroundings and then sat down next to Ziongzong.
--There really seems to be something going on here?
"Actually what?"
Ito Tomono played with his fingers, hesitating a bit before stammering.
"I lost my wallet on the way from the train station ......"
- So she lost her wallet, and it was really hard for her to ask for help.
"What was in the wallet?
At this time, you can't rush, if you, the person being asked for help, are anxious, the person will panic even more, so first calm down to sort out the problem - so Ziongzong considered.
"Put four or five thousand yen and more than a hundred Chinese money.
"Well, it's not Chinese money, it's RMB."
"People have lost their wallets and you're still complaining about it!
"I'm sorry. ...... What about documents other than money?"
"That's not true, I always keep those separate."
"Where and when did you last confirm that you had your wallet?
"From the train station, before you got on the ...... bus?"
"Okay, it was before you got on the bus, right? Then maybe you dropped it by accident, or a thief or pickpocket got to you."
"Hey... so, what then?
"It's late today, so I'll take you there tomorrow after the training.
--I said that, but I didn't have any hope.
Despite the negative thoughts in my mind, Ziongzong tried to be positive so as not to affect Ito Tomono's mood, since it was a rare training trip abroad. On the other hand, Ziongzong also wanted the place where he grew up to give Ito Tomono a good memory, rather than being remembered as the place where he lost his wallet.
"Then I'm counting on you, Uesugi-senpai."
"......."
The clues were pursued little by little, but the current situation was not good.
Although it wasn't too much trouble, Ziongzong was troubled by his bad habit of saying yes to people's requests without thinking about it.
Since he agreed to help, he could only help to the end, and the good thing is that the expected loss is not too much.
*
At night, after washing up, there was still a lot of time before bed, so Uesugi Yui wandered around the summit.
The hilltop at night was not as eerie as Uesugi Yui thought it would be.
The night was bright, moonlight poured down, visibility was high, and the terrain was open enough to overlook the night view of the lights of Xiamen City.
Uesugi Yui was comfortably enjoying the silence of the night until she noticed a figure heading up Genting Rock.
--Who else would be up here at this late hour?
Being alone in a foreign land, Uesugi Yui subconsciously picked up a fist-sized stone and hid it behind her back, walking quietly towards the figure.
The bizarre figure, without a care in the world, made its way up the hill along the crossroad.
--That person was ......?
Uesugi Yui did remember her, even though it was only a one-sided encounter.
While wandering around (lost) during the day, Uesugi Yui saw this girl talking to Ziongzong near the sacha noodle store.
When she saw Uesugi Yui, her eyes lit up.
"Great, I finally met someone.
She realized that Uesugi Yui didn't understand Mandarin, so she repeated in Japanese, "Finally, I found the place where you are training.
"By the way, you ...... met us at the salsa store before, didn't you?
Noticing that Uesugi Yui's face seemed to have been seen before, Ran Shizuyu began to make further conversation.
"My name is Ran JingYu and I am a friend of Ziongzong."
"Uesugi Yui, Ziongzong's sister in righteousness.
For some reason, when she heard the word "sister", Ran Jingye gave a meaningful "Oh~".
"Miss Ran, you speak Japanese very well ......"
"Pfft, Miss Ran? Don't call me that ...... Japanese, Ziongzong and I were already acquainted in the Japanese classroom."
"I have mastered eleven languages in order to be able to handle girls from different countries with ease."
Uesugi Yui thought she must have misheard.
The first half of "I've mastered eleven languages to be able to handle girls from all over the world" and the second half of "I've mastered eleven languages." The second half of the sentence.
Uesugi Yui was sure that she had misheard him.
This girl in front of me, who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, had mastered eleven languages, how was that possible?
"Hmm? You seem to have a look of disbelief on your face ......"
Ran Shizuyu saw through Uesugi Yui's thoughts and took a step forward to close the distance with Uesugi Yui to almost touch her nose.
Then, Ran JingYi on Uesugi Yui lips, a small chicken pecking rice like a quick light kiss.
Yes, not on the cheek, not on the forehead, but on the lips.
The attack was successful, Ran JingYu backed away happily, and Uesugi Yui froze for a few seconds before reacting
"You, you, you, you did, what did you do!
Uesugi Yui waved her fist in anger, wriggling around in place not knowing how to release her feelings.
"A little kiss won't get you pregnant, so what's the point of being so reactive~ Hey~"
Ran Jingye found Uesugi Yui's reaction amusing and watched happily from the sidelines.
"How can you kiss me so casually!
"Oh, I'm sorry. ...... Judging from this shy reaction, I guess you're still a virgin? I thought Japanese girls were no longer virgins after their first year of high school, but the rumors aren't so accurate.
The first time I saw a girl, she was a virgin.
"I'm only in my third year!"
Uesugi Yui had suffered too many mental blows from Ran JingYu, and was already almost on the verge of collapse.
This woman, in the sense of sexual harassment, was even scarier than men.
After less than ten minutes together, Uesugi Yui came up with a definition of Ran Jingye.
"People" are out, today's harvest is really a lot, capture a shy Japanese girl! ~I saw Ziongzong, I have something to ask him, see you next time~"
Ran JingYu waved at Uesugi Yui, turned around and ran to Ziongzong.
Here is a question, how did Ziongzong, who was thinking about his life on the grass earlier, enter Ran JingYu's view.
In fact, it is like this: after talking with Ito Tomono, Ziongzong felt more irritable, so simply do not think about what life, and intend to wash up. On his way back, he happened to see Uesugi Yui and Ran Jingye together. Out of curiosity, he stood aside and listened to their conversation.
Since it wasn't "hiding on the sidelines", it wasn't "eavesdropping", which was Ziongzong's strong word.
It was only with great difficulty that Ran JingYu was able to divert her attention from Uesugi Yui a little and finally became aware of Ziongzong's presence.
This is roughly how it happened.
Ran JingYu bullied Uesugi Yui so badly, Ziongzong also enjoyed watching.
As the saying goes, when two attacks meet, there must be a sufferer.
Ziongzong only knows the queer version of the vocabulary, so it is also applied to the top of the lily.
The Uesugi Yui, who has always had a strong style, met Ran JingYu, who specializes in hunting the hearts of young girls, and was finally planted for a time.
"The first time I saw you, I found you," said Ziongzong.
"I've been standing here for a long time.
"It's really hard to find your training place."
"Why did you come here so late? Something important ......?"
"The important thing is over~"
Ran JingYu smiled happily. The "important thing" she said here obviously refers to the incident of molesting Uesugi Yui just now.
"I know you're just joking with her, but you have to control the scale," she said.
"It's not a good habit to peep, Ziongzong."
"I'm standing and watching."
"I should get an eel to help you pass your intestines before you understand what morality means?
"Uh ......"
Ziongzong took ten seconds to confirm that he did understand what the second half of the sentence really meant.
"Forget it, it's quite wrong to say that about eels and those who love to eat eels, so, let's get down to business.
The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who have been in the business for a long time.
"The information about Situ Qilian, in fact, only the name is correct."
"Someone tampered with Double Ten High School's database, replaced the photo of the student named Situ Qilian, and streamed this fake Situ Qilian's information to the media. Think about it, a middle school student is associated with 15 million dollars in cash, how could the media not make a big deal out of it. As a result, by the time the truth was clarified, the misinformation sent out by the media had created an impact that was difficult to eradicate quickly."
"In fact, this is the real name of Situ Qilian, the real name is Wang Ruowei, this is from the photo included in the Personnel Records Administration."
The photo in Ran JingYu's hand is a boy who is too ordinary to be ordinary.
In a word, it is an ordinary person who can not be found in the pile of people.
"Wang Ruowei, fifteen years old, his father was imprisoned for drug addiction and his mother died of overwork for several years. She has only attended kindergarten and elementary school, and has no education records after elementary school.
"Because of the bad impact of the previous media reports on Double Ten High School, all related reports were banned this time after full clarification.
"The next thing is the most incredible part of the case. The boy named Wang Ruowei had died in a car accident a month before the crime.
"The dead man could not have committed the crime."
"The police concluded that Wang Ruowei was also a disguise, and that they had delayed so much that they had lost track of the real culprit after the discovery.
"The culprit took advantage of an identity that no longer existed, completed the crime and disappeared without a trace."
This was the end of Ran Jingye's elaboration.
If it is true as she said, then this case is already in the realm of the bizarre to the outrageous.
Identity disguise, and a twofold identity disguise at that.
Disguise techniques, intrusion techniques, and sophisticated plans to employ these.
It is unbelievable that a 15 or 16 year old boy could do all of the above.
It was a character that could only appear in a novel.
This made Ziongzong start to speculate that the perpetrator was not alone, but a professional team.
"Thank you, Sister Jing Yue."
Ziongzong silently wrote this down, there was a lot to analyze, and he wanted to chew on the information later.
"I don't want your thanks, just let me know when you find a girl who is interested in lily, that's the best thanks.
"What are you doing by asking me to help you find a girl that you are so hungry for?
"Of course I'm in love with her, what are you talking about, you little brat?
"Then you want me to help you find someone?"
"Some people can't help each other unless they get together. How can a child like you, who reads books and doesn't see the world, know about the problems of the underprivileged?
"Why are we talking about this? I'm leaving. I'll be in touch."
"I'll give you a ride at this late hour, right?"
"Walk me? You don't know me, I can't even beat up ten old men."
Ran JingYu waved her hand in style and turned around to go down the mountain.
The place of Ziongzong's training can be easily found without asking Ziongzong.
No need to Ziongzong to worry, relying on their own ability and doorway to be able to spy on such amazing insider information.
At the same time, also have a fight ten and other female ability plus dumping Qincheng appearance as well as lily inside.
This is the young girl who let Ziongzong respectfully call her sister, Ran Jingye.
*
If the information obtained by Ran JingYu is true, then the case of Situ Qilian, or Wang Ruowei, has completely broken the trail.
Ziongzong lay on the bed and looked up at the ceiling, a corner of the ceiling, I do not know when the shadow of spiders and cobwebs appeared again. Ziongzong remembered that he cleaned, but also purposely used a mop handle tied to the broom to sweep the corner of the ceiling.
But in general, it is the outsider who disturbs the original life of the spider, Ziongzong could not help but think so.
When there are many things, thoughts tend to be confused, and all kinds of things and clues are mixed together and become incomprehensible.
Ziongzong still remembers the conversation with himself about Situ Qilian when the man with the bow, Ito Shenran, first appeared.
--『Then, the guy you have to investigate, and you are about the same age, and recently did a big thing in the newspaper, so, can you understand who it is?
--- "Stuart Keirin, right?"
--Who knows?
--The name was always just a code name, wasn't it? The point of my bet was who he was, not what his name was.
In retrospect, it seems that Ito Kagurashi knew that Sito Kiren was not the prisoner's real name.
--The case is really a deep one, how can an ordinary person like me track it down?
Ziongzong sighed helplessly.
He was aware that adolescence must suffer the sin of irritability, but that usually refers to the pressure of young love and learning, and for himself, love and learning are irrelevant, are completely outside the imagination of the average young boy and girl's worries, unrealistic worries.
The case of Situ Qilian all the relevant clues are broken, how to continue to trace?
Why should Ito Shen Lan let himself go after Situ Qilian?
Ziongzong regrets that he interrogated him in the warehouse when he completely forgot about this matter.
Ziongzong was so worried that he could not stop thinking about it, so he got up and went for a walk.
It was already midnight, and the members of Kyudo were asleep in their rooms after a long day's work, and only the insects were still chirping under the moonlight on the hilltop.
The smell of earth and weeds could not be pretentiously called aromatic, but at least the smell was familiar.
In such a quiet and peaceful environment, Ziongzong saw a young girl under the starry sky, holding a bow alone and practicing shooting shapes.
The icy air blended with her icy aura, making her look like an ice sculpture held in place for eternity.
I can't bear to break this silence, Ziongzong seated on the grass, not a word to watch.
Until ......
until the party noticed, side shot an arrow in Ziongzong knee side.
Ziongzong scared to move in a cold sweat, but Katagiri Mai in excellent condition to take the right amount of time.
It was just a little bit of Ziongzong's pants knee part scraped.
"You can really shoot."
The stunned Ziongzong, sitting on the ground, pretended to be calm and spat.
"Anyone who saw a pervert staring at them in the middle of the night would have done the same thing.
Katagiri Mai calmly walked over to Ziongzong and retrieved the arrows stuck in the grass into her quiver.
"You're here in the middle of the night practicing archery?
"You're not in a position to spit on me for staying up in the middle of the night to watch me practice archery."
Katagiri Mai replied to Ziongzong with her usual cold sarcasm, and then started to pack up and get ready to go back to her room.
If Ziongzong didn't do something, she must have just gone back.
But it doesn't seem necessary to deliberately try to keep her at this late hour?
Ziongzong didn't know what she was thinking, and without realizing it, she spoke.
"So, what is it that Katagiri-san can't sleep for?"
Hearing this question, Katagiri Mai paused and looked at Ziongzong with a look of indecision between leaving and staying to answer ...... but in the end, she chose to answer.
"I can't be still."
"When you can't be still, it's really a good choice to practice shooting shapes."
"Don't force a newcomer who has never even held a bow ...... Now that you're back in your country, won't you look for a chance to meet your parents?"
Katagiri Mai was rare in not being mean in her words and turned to the topic of Ziongzong's family.
Unfortunately, this topic is not suitable for Ziongzong.
"My ...... parents are not here, so it's a lot of trouble to meet them. Speaking of which, Katamushi's parents ......"
"Don't ask superfluous things."
Ziongzong politely avoided Katagiri's question, but he didn't realize that he wasn't the only one who didn't want to talk about his family.
After Katagiri Mai forcefully refused to answer the question, she then added.
"There are some things, even if the substitute is better than the original, one can't help but miss the original, so much so that the substitute is wasted.
Leaving these words with no clear meaning, Katagiri Mai left.
*
Early the next morning, it was raining lightly.
By the time everyone woke up, the rain had turned into a torrential downpour, and a large, continuous dark cloud covered the sky, making it seem like the darkness of last night was still lingering on Genting Rock.
Kyudo Club members stood under the eaves of the house looking at the city of Xiamen shrouded in rain, waiting for Uesugi Yui and the instructor to give directions.
Ziongzong went to bed late last night, but woke up in the morning with the Everyone woke up together with the rhythm, lack of sleep made his whole body drowsy, especially the head feeling particularly heavy, as if a casual twist of the head will fall off the fragile feeling.
Obviously, I had a more miserable experience during the night before, but now my body is even weaker than then. I guess it's because of the difference between having a goal and not having a goal.
It wasn't long before the training schedule for the day came. Under the instructions of Uesugi Yui, everyone started to prepare while complaining about the wet and rainy weather.
According to the discussion between Uesugi Yui and the instructor, and Mayumi Araki, who is actually more of an instructor, the outdoor physical training was cancelled for the day and replaced with indoor Kyudo knowledge learning and the usual training in the Kyudo field.
This arrangement made the students, who were still suffering from physical fatigue from yesterday's workout, jump for joy.
After yesterday's attempts, Ziongzong had realized that the introductory trial that Uesugi Yui had given him was impossible to achieve in a short period of time.
It would take at least a month or two of consistent training to raise his muscular endurance to that level.
However, it seems that this introductory training's does not lie in this apparently high threshold, considering that Ziongzong is already in the third grade and the exams for middle school promotion are imminent, before being able to officially hold a bow, Ziongzong has withdrawn from the department.
In order to ensure the advancement of students to the next level, Dongxian High School has a rule that the second half of the third grade year must be withdrawn from club activities.
Taking all these bits and pieces into consideration, could it be that Uesugi Yui's purpose in making things difficult for himself was that he didn't want to officially become a member of the Kyudo club? -- Ziongzong thought about this unintentionally while looking at the starry sky after parting with Katagiri Mai last night.
But what was the reason for it?
If I don't talk to Uesugi Yui, I won't be able to figure it out by myself, Ziongzong thought.
But at least this morning, there was no chance. Those who were not scheduled to train in Kyudo were all watching the Kyudo documentary in a small, dilapidated room, and Ziongzong was one of them.
By the time the documentary was over, it was already noon.
"What about lunch today? It's raining so hard that we have to go out, right?
Eiji Hayamizu sweaty appeared beside Ziongzong, the wet body and hair makes Ziongzong subconsciously want to stay away from him, so as not to have to be quick water later and hooked up to sweat all over himself.
I just saw Mr. Araki on the phone." "I think it's a take-out.
"Eh? Araki-sensei speaks Chinese?"
"Not Chinese ...... is Mandarin, but I don't think Araki-sensei can, she called a Japanese restaurant nearby, it seems there are Japanese people working here.
"What the ...... hell, it's so boring to have to eat Japanese food once in a while when you go abroad."
"It's a rare occasion that I can share your opinion, Sosui."
What do you mean by "once in a while"? Wait a minute, is that car delivering?
In the rain, a van drove up the hill with the name of a restaurant printed on the side of the van.
"The driver seems to be a woman, so why don't you come with me to check it out?
The moment he found a female, the speed water immediately came to life, Ziongzong is not interested in his heart, decisively refused.
Then, to Ziongzong's surprise, or perhaps as usual, in any case, fifteen minutes later, in the time between the girl's delivery and her return, Eiji Hayamizu had managed to get acquainted with her.
How did Ziongzong, who did not witness the process, know the result?
The reason is that Eiji Hayamizu had gone up to Ziongzong and asked him a question.
"Uesugi, how do you send emails here? I can't send them out for a long time.
"We use text messages here, not emails, although they are similar to emails, but with a phone number instead of an email address.
"Oh, so that's how it is... You're a big help, Uesugi.
"Why do you ask?"
"The girl who just came to deliver left me her contact information~"
- as long as you are involved, nine times out of ten, it is about girls.
Ziongzong looked at the speedy water in front of him and silently crusaded against the philandering speedy water students.
"Then what, what are you going to do?"
"The time is very short, but if possible, a foreign love is also good ah ~ "
Speedwater's intention is already obvious.
Maybe it's a matter of a few becoming many, maybe it's a matter of only three, Ziongzong didn't adapt to Speedy's philandering, but rather, he found it more and more unbearable, even though it's not Ziongzong's turn even if someone wants to take care of it ......
In any case, at this point, Ziongzong feels that he needs to tell Speedy what he thinks. The first thing you need to do is to tell the truth, even if it may cause a rift in their relationship.
Maybe it's just because of the rainy day.
People's emotions are unpredictable.
"What do you think of the girls you are close to in Kyoto? Do you have a girlfriend among them?"
"No."
Without even thinking, the answer came out of his mouth.
That was an amazing answer, and Ziongzong instantly wondered if recording the question and answer just now could be a weapon of mass destruction to destroy the infatuation of many girls.
"What about ...... ?"
Ziongzong said the only name he knew, even though the owner of the name he did not like.
"The same."
Still no hesitation in answering, the speed of water without delay.
Ziongzong then realized that he really underestimated Eiji Hayamizu, the boy in front of him, only the third year of secondary school, has already more than the level of philandering, far above that ...... and this, too, is not in any way a compliment to him, but also not like a criticism.
Anything done to the extreme, even in the position of good and evil will change, such as theft of things and theft of the country.
Ziongzong can't help but think of Eiji Hayamizu this way.
"What's the point of your constant flirting?
"Meaning? It's a man's instinct, right?"
"It's an animal that only follows its instincts, humans think and act, it's water.
"Well, if you have to say something about the reason ...... to understand a country, you have to understand the women of a country, especially young women! ...... Do you understand this, Uesugi Ziongzong!"
I always feel ......Eiji Hayamizu-san said something quite powerful without thinking.
Ziongzong even felt that Eiji Hayamizu's image was instantly two or three times taller, thinking that Eiji Hayamizu was actually going out of his way to pursue girls out of some lofty ideal.
But, even so.
In reality, there is still an insurmountable wall.
And this statement by Eiji Hayamizu, regardless of whether it is correct or not, is completely irrelevant to this conversation.
"The needless rhetoric stops here at Speedwater ...... So you never feel guilty or wrong? This way ...... treat the girls around you?"
"What are you talking about, Uesugi?"
It was not until Ziongzong said what he had just said that Eiji Hayamizu realized that this time Ziongzong's condemnation was more serious than ever, and so he spoke in a less frivolous tone.
This was followed by a series of arguments that were not in line with Eiji Hayamizu's style.
"I don't know if you've ever been in love, or how many times you've been in love, but do you really think that love is a single-mindedness that lasts until death? You take love too seriously."
"How deep can a so-called love come at my age?"
"I confess that I don't really like people, but I don't know how they treat me either."
"I'm not ashamed to say that I've had so many girlfriends because I want to be more efficient in finding someone I can really like. Of course, I know it hurts people and it's not fair to them.
"But now that I've started, I'll just have to make it to the end, even if it's wrong, but at least it's good for me."
"So, if you want to say I'm wrong, I won't deny it, but I don't intend to change at all."
Up to this point, the series of words from Speedy Water left Ziongzong speechless.
He was able to say these things so openly that Ziongzong was unable to accuse him.
"Okay, okay, relax, I just think you are serious about me, so I am serious about answering you, nothing to care about, just continue to be friends, thank you for telling me about the text message, that take-away girl seems to be still there, I will go say goodbye to her.
Eiji Hayamizu also left another message for Ziongzong before she left.
"Also ...... although I myself am indeed a rather extreme example, but you know what Uesugi, many times, your attitude towards girls makes me want to wonder if you are a guy or not."

After lunch, everyone lazily gathered together to chat.
The "everyone" here does not include Katagiri Mai, who is alone in the hallway watching the rain, Eiji Hayamizu, who is texting with a take-out girl she just met, Ito Tomono, who is nowhere to be found, and Ziongzong Uesugi, who is waiting for someone in the parking lot.
Katagiri Mai, who is away from the crowd as a rule, is a speed-water whatever Ito Tomono, whose whereabouts are unknown, is a bit worrying ...... and Ziongzong, who is waiting for someone in the parking lot, is PANG Zebei.
This morning, PANG Zebei called Ziongzong and arranged to meet at noon on the Genting Rock.
So, in the rain curtain, an old black pickup truck slowly swayed from the foot of the mountain to the mountain, and stopped in front of Ziongzong in the parking lot, and the person who got down from the car was an old man with a strong physique besides PANG Zebei. He was full of white hair, but he was glowing.
"Zebei brother ...... eh? Mr. Ou is also here! It's been a long time!"
"Well ...... nothing has changed, Ziongzong."
This robust old man, called Mr. Ou, is a retired mechanic with great manufacturing ability and knowledge, and he can make anything that does not involve black technology. Will know this old gentleman, also all because of PANG Zebei's sake. Long before he met Ziongzong, PANG Zebei was already a regular customer of Mr. Ou.
"Mr. Ou is also still very healthy. ...... But, how come Mr. Ou came here today?
"Contact Mr. Ou, tell him I'm going to visit him in the near future, there's a heavy job - didn't you say that Ziongzong."
PANG Zebei interjected from the sidelines, the words he quoted from Ziongzong came from a phone call between Ziongzong and him some weeks ago.
"Yeah, yeah, I remember. ...... I'm sorry I forgot."
"So, what's the big job for me?"
Mr. Ou stared at Ziongzong with glowing eyes, although he worked not without charge, he enjoyed the pleasure of making more than earning money.
Right now, he is very much looking forward to what interesting work he can receive from Ziongzong's hands.
"The truth is ...... you still remember the nine-section whip you helped me with before, for some reason I lost it ......"
"Ahhh that nine-section whip, I remember, the idea of combining cold weapons with jet heads is still fresh in my mind! So you want me to make another one this time?
"No ...... I'm sorry, I don't have a nine-section whip on hand that I can use to modify, so I've made you come all the way here for nothing.
"I'm sorry to say that I don't have any nine-sectioned whips that can be used for transformation.
The bright light in his eyes disappeared, Mr. Ou in this regard is basically equivalent to a child, a restrained to comply with adult etiquette, genius children.
In fact, Ziongzong's original intention was to retrieve the nine-sectioned whip before returning, but the plan failed to catch up with the change, and now regrets that he was too rash to help.
"But it's really rare, Ziongzong you actually lost something, that nine knot whip is not a very important thing to you?
Mr. Ou fell into the disappointment, so PANG Zebei took over the topic.
"Yes ...... so don't mention this matter, okay Zebei.
"But then again, what do you want a junior student to do with such things? Life in Japan is so dangerous?"
"Uh ...... just take it with you."
"It seems that you are also all kinds of difficult well, there are difficulties also don't carry by yourself, talk to us is also an option, even if we just listen will not help hahaha.
PANG Zebei patted Ziongzong's shoulder, then uncovered the rain cover on the truck.
"Come on, the agreed bicycle."
The small truck was loaded with the road bike that PANG Zebei had used, he had already switched to motorcycle, so he gave the bike to Ziongzong.
"Let you specially send it here really ...... thanks a lot, brother Zebei."
"Where do I put it?"
"Let's put it in the bike shed on the side, there's no space in the accommodation and it's raining.
"The actual "I'm going to be able to take care of it, like I do ❤"
"Okay, okay, okay, it's fine, why do you have to disgust me at the end?
"Mr. Ou still has something to do, I'll send him off first, call me if you miss me yo Ziongzong ❤"
"...... just think my phone is broken.
Before parting, PANG Zebei still showed his queer nature and made a flirtation with Ziongzong. Of course this may not be his intention, just that there are many men are not very good at expressing their feelings, and PANG Zebei is also one of them, right?
Before leaving, Mr. Ou suddenly called Ziongzong, as if he suddenly remembered something.
"Right Ziongzong, here, this is back to you.
Mr. Ou fished out a bland key from his pocket, which was strung on a black plastic key ring.
"This key is?"
"You asked me to keep it for you before you left the country, you have a worse memory than an old man like me?
"This key ring too?"
"Have you really forgotten? You gave it to me with the key ring, and told me not to lose it.
"Oh ...... so that's it. ...... Then I'll take it, thank you.
"Let's go then."
"Well, drive safely in the rain."
Although Ziongzong still has doubts inside, but since Mr. Ou said so, then this thing must be their own, but they just forgot it for a while, Ziongzong thought so.
Since both Mr. Ou and PANG Zebei were still in a hurry to leave, Ziongzong didn't ask more questions, and took it as something he did but forgot.
But he really can't remember this key thing, no impression at all.
And this bland plastic key ring, why do you have to make a special account?
Ziongzong can't remember anything.
Looking at PANG Zebei drive away, Ziongzong heart more or less produced some subtle mood. At the time of leaving, he did not expect to be able to come back so soon and see PANG Zebei and Ran JingYu, the two forgetful friends. But he also clearly realized that such a reunion was extremely short, and it was immediately parting again.
Both PANG Zebei and Ran JingYu are very good people.
The difference is that PANG Zebei will show it, while Ran JingYu will hide this kind of goodness in her heart.
Such two people, however, can not be friends.
Originally, Ziongzong thought that the two seemingly different people with the same sexual orientation should get along well with each other, but in fact they are very different.
Maybe these two people are just too special.
PANG Zebei is a pure faggot, the faggot of fags
and Ran Jingye is a special lily girl, treating men all over the world as enemies
If people with different life view, value and world view can be distinguished as two species, then biologically speaking, there is an absolute gap called "reproductive isolation" between PANG Zebei and Ran Jingye.
After lunch, the afternoon training passed quickly in the usual training, and then, it was Ziongzong and Ito Tomono agreed to find the wallet together.
Although Ziongzong had already expected that it would not be as simple as finding the wallet, but the final unfolding of things, but far beyond Ziongzong's expectations.
