I, who tortured the readers, was knocked to the ground by them!

Chapter 168 Isn’t it easy for me to catch you?
"Hurry up, hurry up, we have to get to school early today! Why are you always dawdling like an old man?"

Sato Wakaba, who was extremely energetic, had already changed into her small leather shoes in advance and stomped her feet at the door, urging them on.

"Can you please stop rushing me like an old woman? You didn't make breakfast today, and you don't have to clean up, so there's still time."

Sakurai Itsuki yawned, glanced at the time, and then slowly took a sip of water.

He could no longer stay awake like he did when he was a teenager, excited about going on a spring outing the next day.

Instead, you will start to feel that this is a bit troublesome.

If it were me in the past, I would probably just find an excuse of being sick to turn it down and have fun at home for a while.

But now, there is obviously no such opportunity.

Both Sato Wakaba and Hane Shion seemed to be in high spirits, and it felt a bit bad to just run away like that.

Fortunately, "Flame Fist" has been temporarily completed, so I can take it as a break.

Upon hearing this, Sato Wakaba half-closed her eyes and explained, "Are you complaining that I didn't make breakfast? Today's situation is special! I didn't go grocery shopping. We haven't been home for three days. If the ingredients aren't used up, wouldn't it be a waste? Oh, Ah Shu, turn off the valve."

"I'm just complaining that you're nagging too much." Sakurai Itsuki replied, and following Sato Wakaba's instructions, he turned into the kitchen and closed the valve.

"Hey, I was hoping you'd complain about me not making breakfast! That would satisfy my vanity, like, 'I didn't get to eat your breakfast, so I'm not in a good mood.' Can you tell me about that?"

Sato Wakaba ignored Sakurai Itsuki's complaints and continued chattering with her hands behind her back.

Anyway, I have heard his complaints countless times, and I complain about him even more.

"Can I refuse? It always feels a bit weird to be given a nice guy card and have to go on a trip with that person."

Sakurai Itsuki knew without hesitation what Sato Wakaba wanted to hear from the conversation.

Sato Wakaba nodded and sighed, "So you still care so much about this part. I thought you didn't care anymore."

Sakurai Itsuki said helplessly: "I didn't get to eat the breakfast you made, so I'm not in a very good mood now, is that okay?"

"Eh, so sudden?!"

Sato Wakaba thought that the fight was over, so she was suddenly attacked and had no time to organize her words.

"Well, anyway, do you like me? You're a good person, but if you want to confess your feelings, I'd prefer a slightly more romantic scene."

Sato Wakaba was caught off guard and gave Sakurai Itsuki today's good guy card using a commonplace template.

Although her inner attitude towards Sakurai Itsuki had changed a long time ago, she was still addicted to teasing Sakurai Itsuki and always felt happy about it.

Anyway, neither of them took it seriously.

Therefore, Sato Wakaba regarded this as a unique little interest between the two of them. Anyway, she was quite happy to play these seemingly ambiguous jokes with him.

"I thought you had something new today, but this is it?" Sakurai Itsuki sighed, looking disappointed.

"What if it's too abnormal and ruins our travel mood?"

Sato Wakaba thought, if I say, "You are a good person, so let me be your girlfriend!", it should be original enough.

However, Sato Wakaba was very clear that now was not the time to express her attitude in this way.

I can't accept being rejected after confessing my feelings like Yuki Mizuno did. I always feel that it would be counterproductive.

Moreover, the confession she envisioned must be in an extremely romantic scene, with them promising to spend their lives together.

"My mood isn't that easily ruined," Sakurai Itsuki replied. Turning around, he saw Sato Wakaba, who was distracted, and lightly flicked her forehead with his finger. "What are you thinking about? You look so weird."

Sato Wakaba suddenly came to her senses and quickly changed the subject, "Nothing. By the way, check to make sure you don't forget anything! And did you bring the hand cream and face cream I bought for you? Kyoto's early spring climate is very dry, and..."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Sakurai Itsuki nodded to deal with this hot girl who looked like an old mother.

However, there is an atmosphere of a family traveling together.

There was nothing particularly interesting on the first day of the school trip.

We all went to the school to gather. After each class counted the number of students, we got on the bus one by one and set off to take the Shinkansen.

After arriving in Kyoto, we gathered to count the number of people, had a simple lunch, and then took a bus to the hotel that had been booked in advance.

Most of the time was spent on the road.

The experience is not much different from that of cheap group buying travel agencies.

The only difference is that the passengers become the classmates around, and the person in front with a small loudspeaker and a small flag becomes a teacher like Hase Hatsuna.

However, this alone is enough to make us high school students excited.

After all, traveling with people of the same age is exciting enough.

Most of us still have one or two good friends in class, or someone we admire.

In addition, Hase Hatsuna is a popular female teacher in the school. Compared with the tour guide who keeps selling local specialties to you, the experience is indeed much better.

Sakurai Itsuki was thankful that there were other teachers besides her on this school trip, otherwise she really didn't know where this unreliable person with poor directionality would lead everyone.

But even if they get lost, it might actually make these adolescent guys excited.

Maybe someone in the class is currently fantasizing about a man and a woman getting lost and missing.

The reason why Sakurai Itsuki thought so was that from the very beginning of the trip, the sour taste of youthful love permeated the entire itinerary.

Some people start racking their brains and thinking about the location of the bus seats before they even get on the bus.

Even though they rarely spoke to each other seriously on a daily basis, in their eyes, it seemed that they could make significant progress just by sitting next to each other for a few hours on a school trip.

However, what surprised Sakurai Itsuki was that the person sitting next to him today was not the hot girl or the young lady, but Hase Hatsuna who was disguised as a good teacher.

Sato Wakaba and Hane Shion sat together quite far away from Sakurai Itsuki.

The two were chatting in low voices.

But this is also good, quite harmonious, and saves him trouble.

"Hey, hey, do you think there's a chance those two will become a couple? Kawaki and Endo." Hase Hatsuna gently elbowed Sakurai Itsuki with her arm and came close to him to gossip.

"." Sakurai Itsuki turned around and looked at Hase Hatsuna who was secretly observing the boys and girls in the class, and was speechless.

"I think Endo actually has a crush on him, but it's not certain that it will work out. But Kawaki is too straight. She obviously didn't like the snacks he shared with her, but he kept stuffing them into her hands. What do you think their reaction would be if I went to ask Kawaki for some snacks?"

Hase Hatsuna happily shared her gossip observations with Sakurai Itsuki.

However, Sakurai Itsuki had no interest in such gossip: "Are you so concerned about other people's love affairs? You might as well take care of yourself. You are not a child anymore."

If the unmarried female editor saw such a youthful atmosphere, she would definitely be overwhelmed and start to doubt her life.

But Hase Hatsuna never doubts herself. Instead, she happily draws joy from others.

"Myself? Oh, are you concerned about my private life? As expected, you are also a male student, Shu. Boys do have some fantasies about female teachers!"

Hase Hatsuna covered her mouth and chuckled quietly.

"Who allowed you to call me Shu? Don't force me to humiliate you in front of the whole class."

Sakurai Itsuki twitched his lips. The existence of this divine female teacher was simply an insult to the well-known XP label "female teacher".

"That's too much, that's too much! You clearly wanted me a while ago and were trying so hard to keep me. Was it all a lie?" Hase Hatsuna muttered softly, deliberately making it sound like Sakurai Itsuki wanted to keep her in the club to continue working there, making it easy to misunderstand. "Don't bother me."

Sakurai Itsuki raised his hand slightly and clenched it into a fist, and Hase Hatsuna immediately fell silent.

She curled her lips and complained quietly, "How boring."

I thought to myself, if Sato Wakaba and Hane Shion hadn't asked me to cover for them, I wouldn't be happy about it.

Of course, she could only complain in her heart. If she really said it out loud, she would be doomed.

Sakurai Itsuki watched her fall silent and ignored her, just taking out his cell phone to kill time.

Although I have heard that many schools would confiscate students' mobile phones during school trips, this rule is now gradually being relaxed.

Mobile phones are indeed becoming more and more important in our lives. In addition to taking photos when traveling, they can also be used for mobile payments or to query information.

More importantly, if you accidentally get lost, it can be very useful.

In addition, the school where Sakurai Itsuki attended was already quite relaxed, so he played with his phone openly.

Sakurai Itsuki modified what Hase Hatsuna had just said, making the text appear more youthful and innocent, and then sent it to the editor Shinkawa Aimei who was still working.

I have contributed so much to her, so it’s not too much to use her to brush up some data when I’m bored.

Speaking of which, Sakurai Itsuki's taste is really getting worse and worse, and it feels like he's turning his fake into real.

In the distance, Sato Wakaba and Hane Shion excitedly shared her surprise plan, but Hane Shion seemed a little absent-minded.

"Shion, why are you acting weird?" Sato Wakaba always felt that she was a little strange.

Hanase Shion quickly shook her head: "Nothing, I just didn't sleep well last night."

"Ah, you are excited too!" Sato Wakaba nodded in agreement.

However, Hanase Shion glanced away guiltily.

Of course, she couldn't say that she was feeling guilty because she was planning to secretly trick the person you like to come to Kyoto.

Hane Shion always feels that she has stabbed her good sister in the back, and her conscience is a little uneasy.

But now that it has come to this, there is no turning back.

Sato Wakaba lives in the same house with Ashu every day, so it’s okay if I trick him into coming to Kyoto, right?

If she can't win his heart even though they're together every day, then she can only blame herself for not being good enough!

If he and I were in love, there would be no need for me to consider her feelings!
Hane Shion encouraged herself in this way, while repeatedly reviewing the preparations she had made and being ready for battle.

The subsequent school trip did not have any exaggerated scenes like those in the anime.

There are no perverted boys peeping at girls bathing, making the girls cover their chests and scream at the perverts.

There was no young boy with amorous feelings sneaking into the girls' bedroom and getting into his sweetheart's bed while avoiding the teacher's inspection.

In short, everything seems so ordinary and reasonable.

But for Hanase Shion, she finally waited for the decisive stage - free time!
When the free time began, Sato Wakaba made an excuse as planned and disappeared from Sakurai Itsuki's sight.

And Hane Shion made an appointment with Sakurai Itsuki to go shopping in Kyoto together.

Of course Sakurai Itsuki didn't refuse, as this was what they had agreed on.

They agreed to meet at a place far away from the hotel where they were staying. After all, they didn't want too many people to see them when they met alone.

While Hane Shion was waiting for Sakurai Itsuki at the agreed location, she opened the memo on her phone that was filled with strategy notes and frantically checked and improved them.

She was determined to make him fall in love with the city of Kyoto.

Although I used to hate this city, as a "young lady" who grew up in Kyoto, as long as I am serious, it is not difficult to trick a high school student into coming to Kyoto!

With such thorough preparation, it won’t be easy for me to catch him, right?

The next part of the journey will surely be so interesting that it will amaze him!

"This is Kyoto Seika University! It was the first university in Japan to establish a manga major. In 2006, it co-founded the Kyoto International Manga Museum, Japan's largest collection of manga materials, with the Kyoto City Government."

"Our specialty is comics! It's attracting worldwide attention and offers..."

Hanase Shion chattered on and on, reciting the information she had spent a lot of time memorizing.

Sakurai Itsuki was curious about what was wrong with the girl next to him.

It was so quiet before, why is it so noisy today?

As for what she was talking about, Sakurai Itsuki was not interested at all.

"This place has produced many outstanding manga artists, such as Yamamoto Soichiro, who drew 'Teasing Takagi-san' and 'The President is Maid-sama'."

Sakurai Itsuki looked at Hanase Shion who was reciting her script with some impatience: "What would you like to drink? I'm going to see if there's anything different in the vending machines in Kyoto."

He tactfully interrupted her boring speech and prepared to buy some drinks to ease the awkwardness.

"Oh, the same as yours would be nice."

Looking at Sakurai Itsuki's back as she walked towards the vending machine, Hanase Shion sat on the campus bench and patted her thigh happily.

Huh, he took the initiative to buy me a drink. He must think my tour guide is perfect!

If I could fall in love with Kyoto and stay there to study at university.
Although we are not in the same school, we are in the same city after all.

At that time, the two of them can save each other's class schedules in the mobile phone calendar. When they are free, they can take the tram to the school gate and wait quietly for him to finish class.

Then they walked together on the streets of Kyoto, and she chatted with him softly, saying that this store had been there when she was a child, and that the scenery over there was actually better.
During the Chinese New Year and other holidays, you can also bring him home, introduce him to your family, and make tea for him.

Maybe we could even find a house close to both universities, draw comics together, eat together, and occasionally do some naughty things.
Hey.

Shion Hane looked at the college couples coming and going on campus, shaking her feet in small leather shoes, her face slightly blushing, and she was daydreaming.

"what!"

She felt a sudden chill on her cheek and was startled - it was a can.

"One bottle of ice and one bottle at room temperature, choose one." Sakurai Itsuki spoke before she expressed her dissatisfaction.

"Room temperature, thank you." Hanase Shion took the coffee, took a sip, and continued:
"The Department of Animation at Kyoto Seika University has a total of"

"How about we go to the Kyoto Animation Shop now?" Sakurai Itsuki interrupted her.

"No, according to the plan, we still have to walk around here for 50 minutes, then go to the campus restaurant for afternoon tea, and then..."

Hane Shion talks about the perfect strategy to "make Sakurai Itsuki fall in love with Kyoto."

"Oh, by the way, the interview time for this university is..."

She seemed completely unaware of his displeasure, and with a smile on her lips, she continued to recite what she had memorized so well last night.

"Okay. I didn't want to know so much about this school." Sakurai Itsuki finally expressed his feelings impatiently.

"Eh?!"
