Tokyo: There's something wrong with this counterattack system

Chapter 179 She and the Gentle Breeze and Bright Moon
There were no chairs on the mountaintop, so Asuka wiped the large rock clean, not caring about the dirt, and climbed up in her skirt to enjoy the beach view. Before long, fireworks went off, shooting from the ground into the sky, adding a splash of color to the sky.

Kitahara also looked, but not only at the sky, but also at the woman's face. Her fair face, illuminated by the fireworks, turned into a kaleidoscope of colors, making her extremely beautiful.

“It’s really beautiful,” he said.

"Yes, it's beautiful. This is the best viewing platform, I don't tell anyone else." Asuka agreed, then turned and laughed, "You're so naughty, where are you looking? Are you teasing me?"

"I didn't mean that."

"What is that? There are few people here. Could it be that they're trying to bully me because I'm a weak girl?" Seeing that Beiyuan's voice was timid, she became bolder and raised her voice.

"I'll go buy you some water."

Kitahara got up to leave; there were vending machines along the way. But halfway there, Asuka stopped him: "You can stay here! You're such a spoilsport."

She pouted, her eyes sparkling. She was indeed smiling, but her lips were puffed out, making her look sullen and annoyed that he didn't know how to appreciate her. Kitahara obediently sat down and asked, "Are you thirsty?"

"Not thirsty."

"Eat something?"

"I want some candied apples. Buy them for me later."

"Okay, that tastes good."

Amidst the gossip, the fireworks quickly faded, and compared to the lively spectacle of their display, the suddenly quiet sky felt a bit chilly. Kitahara suddenly felt cold, and he felt he had experienced the beauty of mono no aware (the pathos of things).

But Asuka was still very happy. She was very cheerful, wandering around the mountain, showing no signs of disappointment. On the contrary, she was even happier.

"Watch out, there might be wolves," Kitahara warned.

"There are no wolves in this place, don't scare me."

Then a tanuki jumped out of the grass, startling Asuka. She screamed, and by the time Kitahara arrived, the tanuki had already run away.

She patted Kitahara: "It's all your fault!"

"Ok?"

"It's all your fault for scaring me." Her words made no sense at all; she kept complaining and stretched out her hand, saying, "Pull me! You're so stupid!"

"it is good."

Kitahara grabbed the pair of soft hands, so Asuka stopped being angry. She stood up, patted her little skirt, which was terribly dirty and muddy, but Asuka didn't care. She said, "I still want to play."

"Then let's go. We're just going to have fun these next few days anyway."

"Let's go to the beach to catch crabs."

As they were descending the mountain, Asuka suggested going, but Kitahara refused, saying, "High tide is scary, I'm not going."

"coward."

"I wouldn't go even if you said I was a coward."

"Please!"

Kitahara went to a stall and bought a flashlight and a plastic carrying case, then went to the beach in his flip-flops.

night.

The beach was still warm; it didn't seem to be getting cold so quickly, or perhaps it was just his imagination.

Asuka kicked off her sandals and stepped onto the beach with her little feet, painted with bright red nail polish. They were quickly submerged by the seawater. She turned her head and said, "It's so cold."

"It's very cold."

Would you be angry if I splashed water on you?

"What do you think?"

Asuka looked around; it was a bit dark, and she couldn't see Kitahara's face clearly, but she had a cat-like instinct and always wanted to do something, so she took a ladleful and splashed it on him.

Kitahara dodged the question, calling it childish.

Asuka felt relieved and waited for him to get close before stomping on the water, soaking Kitahara's trouser legs.

"You shameless woman," Kitahara said, feigning anger, and started splashing water.

—It must be said that he was somewhat proud of himself, otherwise he wouldn't have done such a thing.

"what--"

Asuka ran away laughing, but she was too weak and was caught by Kitahara in no time. Kitahara grabbed her hand and said fiercely, "Will you dare to do it again? Will you dare to do it again?" "Let me go, I won't do it again next time." Her clothes and hair were wet and hung on her shoulders, making her look pitiful. Especially the shy words spoken by her cherry lips made one's heart flutter.

Kitahara looked at her red lips, and his heart started racing. He didn't know what to say, he just stared at her.

Asuka seemed to notice this as well, her upturned eyebrows slightly raised, revealing a sly curve, and her eyes seemed to speak volumes, saying, "Come on if you dare."

"I'll let you off this time." Kitahara decided to spare her this time.

Asuka paused for a moment, then pouted and said, "This is boring. You're so dull."

"Save it."

Kitahara didn't bother arguing with her and went back to shore on his own. Asuka saw that he was moving quickly, so she hurriedly chased after him: "What are you doing? I'm not done playing yet!"

"It's cold," Kitahara said with a blank expression.

"What's with the cold? Your constitution isn't even as good as mine, what a spoilsport," Asuka muttered.

The two passed by a small stall, and Kitahara stopped. It was the same apple candy they had seen before, so he bought two, handed one to Asuka, and ate one himself.

While eating, he said, "Not bad."

"It's nice." Asuka nodded, picked up the candy and twirled it around. The candy coating looked beautiful under the lantern, and she couldn't bear to eat it, so she stopped. "I don't want to go back."

"Then where do you live?"

"What business is it of yours where I live?" Asuka pouted. "Anyway, I'm not leaving. If you want to leave, then just leave alone and leave me here to stay."

Kitahara noticed the glint in her eyes and knew that this fox had something in mind. He didn't know what it was, but he figured they should at least have a chat.

He patiently asked, "Is there anything else you haven't had enough fun with?"

"a lot of."

"Then let's go out tomorrow."

"Not tomorrow."

"Why? Do you have a terminal illness?"

"Go ahead and die! How can you curse someone like that!"

Asuka changed the subject and started acting recklessly. Kitahara couldn't argue with her, so he just stood there with her like an idiot until all the stalls turned off their lights. The stall owner came over and said, "Time to go. It's really dark here at night."

Kitahara then said to Asuka, "Did you hear that?"

Asuka remained silent, nibbling on her apple candy. Her tongue was small and delicate, a lovely cherry-pink color, and the way she ate the candy was adorable. Kitahara found it very interesting and watched her for a while.

After a while, she finished the candy, threw the stick aside, and said, "First of all, I must say that you did break your promise."

“Yes, that’s right,” Kitahara admitted.

After leaving her room that day, he went to do something for Sayuri, which was definitely wrong of him.

"Then you should provide compensation."

“I walked around the temple fair with you, and my feet are sore,” Kitahara said.

Asuka stared wide-eyed: "How is this enough?"

"Then what are you going to do, my second young lady?" The tone was very sighing.

Asuka seemed to like hearing this nickname, and squinted her eyes: "I'm so bored at night, come over and chat with me, and we'll go to Paris in a few days, then I'll let you off the hook."

"Isn't it inappropriate to do this at night?"

"Are you afraid I'll eat you up?" Asuka retorted, "What are you, a man, so cowardly for? Are you afraid of being caught cheating?"

“You can’t say things like that,” Kitahara said quickly, then added with a hint of unease, “If I don’t come home at night, my roommates will always say something.”

"What are you afraid of? Just say you got up in the middle of the night and your stomach hurts. There's always a reason. I'm on duty tonight, so just come out with me and follow behind me until it gets late before going back. What can't you say?"

Kitahara had no choice but to agree and returned to the hotel with Asuka. As soon as she entered the hotel, she went to chat with girls. It's hard to believe that someone her age could have a conversation with college students.

However, it must be said that under the lights, Asuka's radiant and beautiful face is no different from that of a college girl.

I can't figure it out, I can't tell the difference.

Kitahara sighed and went to his bedroom to listen to Yoshimizu brag.
