Tokyoites don't have martial virtue

"Does a man like you, who casually makes fun of strangers and is even smug about it, thinking it's cool, really deserve a girlfriend?"

The man in the floral shirt was startled by Kyushu Makoto's sudden gaze and rendered speechless by his long-winded explanation. He could only angrily retort, "What, what's it to you! You tacky guy!"

"

Kyushu Makoto snorted coldly, not backing down: "If that's the case, if your girlfriend doesn't dress according to your fashion standards, you'll also call her a 'country bumpkin'?"

"Huh? Really?" The girlfriend of the man in the floral shirt was confused and asked curiously.

"Of course not!" Having failed to outwit his girlfriend and been outmaneuvered, the man in the floral shirt was incredibly embarrassed and could only change the subject: "Let's go see the dolphin show!"

After saying that, he grabbed his girlfriend and fled in a hurry, leaving Kyushu Makoto with a resentful look.

A moment later, Mizuhashi Eiji jogged over and asked softly, with a hint of resentment in her voice:

"Senior, why are you chatting with others here?"

"Oh, someone wants to ask me for directions," Kyushu Makoto replied casually. "He seems to be lost on the road of life."

"Well... is Senpai making another weird joke?" Mizuhashi Eiki puffed out her cheeks slightly and sighed softly.

"By the way, I heard the dolphin light show is starting soon, want to go see it together?"

62. Coach, I want to be in a relationship!

Following the directions on the park map, the two arrived at the stage for the aquatic performance.

A large, circular pool was surrounded by tiered seating. Many spectators were already seated, with rows packed full and very few seats for two people sitting together.

However, what puzzled Kyushu Makoto was that the first row of seats remained empty.

"Do Tokyoites have some special custom, like being cursed for sitting in the front row of an aquarium show?" Kyushu Makoto pondered, stroking his chin. "Tokyo really does have all sorts of interesting rules~"

"Senior...stop making weird jokes..." Mizuhashi Eiki felt a bit of a headache.

Although it was funny how her senior tried to make her laugh, most of the jokes were quite scary, and her little heart couldn't take it.

Kyushu Makoto carefully searched the original owner's memories and found that Tokyoites did not have such superstitious beliefs. However, he still couldn't understand why no one was sitting in the first row—after all, the original owner's family couldn't afford to go to an aquarium, let alone see a dolphin show. The last time Chen Kyushu went to an aquarium was when he was nine years old, and there were no aquarium shows back then.

"In that case, let's sit in the first row!" Kyushu Makoto made up his mind:

"The first row has the clearest view, and you might even be able to touch a dolphin!"

Mizuhashi Ei-hee seemed to be seeing this kind of performance for the first time as well, and happily sat down next to her senior, with some anticipation in her eyes.

The man in the floral shirt sitting in the third row saw the two people in the front row and immediately began to laugh gleefully:

"He really is a country bumpkin. He doesn't even know the rule that you can't sit in the front row when watching a dolphin show! He'll get splashed with water soon!"

Soon, all the lights in the performance hall went out, and the audience couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

"Welcome to Shinagawa Aquarium! Today's dolphin light show is themed 'Cherry Blossom Rain'!" the host, dressed in a diving suit, announced enthusiastically.

The melodious and lighthearted music of the bamboo flute began to play softly, and a dolphin, guided by its trainer, began to tumble and leap in the water. Several pale yellow beams of light descended from the ceiling, like the morning sun; countless blue streaks of light fell rapidly, like morning dew.

Immediately afterwards, four more dolphins leaped out of the water and joined the lead dolphin in a lively dance in the pool.

Kyushu Makoto glanced at the junior student beside him. She was watching the performance intently, her bright eyes reflecting the dazzling light.

"Let me check the strategy guide again..." Kyushu Makoto thought, taking out a guidebook from his backpack.

Suddenly, a drop of cold water hit his face, making him gasp for breath.

"Strange, is it raining?"

Makoto Kyushu turned his gaze to the stage, only to be surprised to find that the dolphins were getting closer and closer to the audience, and the splashes of water were getting higher and higher with their leaps, and were already starting to splash onto the shore.

Not only that, but a fountain show also started simultaneously in the pool. Several jets of water sprayed into the sky, intertwining with the dolphin dance, while the music reached its climax.

Oh no, I see! ...It was only then that Kyushu Makoto realized that the reason everyone wasn't sitting in the front row wasn't because of some strange superstition, but because the front row would definitely get soaked by the water!

Kyushu Makoto was alright; his leather jacket was waterproof, and even if his black pants got wet, it wouldn't be noticeable.

However, Mizuhashi Eiji was wearing a light-colored dress with white and green accents, and if she got splashed with water, it would definitely be very embarrassing.

Kyushu Makoto wanted to remind Mizuhashi Eiki to leave with him quickly, but his junior seemed completely absorbed in the performance. The music in the venue was also very loud, and she couldn't hear him no matter how much he called her.

Just then, the music reached its climax. All the fountains were at full power, and raindrops poured down onto the audience, seemingly oblivious to the plight of those in the front rows.

At the same time, a dolphin near the audience suddenly shot up from the water like a cannonball, creating a splash nearly two meters high.

Feeling the chill from above, Mizuhashi Ei-hee, who was focused on watching the performance, belatedly realized that she had entered the range of the water spray.

"Eek!" She instinctively bent over, covered her head, and closed her eyes in fright.

The man in the floral shirt in the third row had his arms crossed, and a forced, effeminate laugh was playing on his lips.

"It's no use, you're destined to become a half-transparent, drenched chicken! Let your girlfriend embarrass herself, you clueless country bumpkin!"

As the tide was about to surge, Makoto Kyushu acted decisively, drawing his black umbrella like a sword being drawn from its sheath and quickly opening the canopy.

Mizuhashi Ei-hee was filled with despair, but the expected cold, damp sensation did not arrive.

The girl looked up in surprise and saw that the black umbrella above her was like a sturdy shield, protecting her from most of the rain.

Immediately, Kyushu Makoto covered Mizuhashi's head with his leather jacket, pulled her into his arms, and shielded her from the remaining splashes of water.

The music suddenly became grand and magnificent, and a dazzling cherry blossom pink light illuminated the entire sky. Cyber ​​cherry blossom trees simulated by lights bloomed passionately in mid-air, and petals drifted down to the heads of every audience member before quickly disappearing without a trace, like a dream.

Five dolphins flew together into the cherry blossom rain, completing their final aerial somersault and leap.

At that moment, Mizuhashi Eiki felt as if time and her breathing had come to a standstill.

Raindrops pattered on the umbrella, making a pleasant, melodious sound like an old clock. The cherry blossom-colored light shone on her face, making her cheeks so hot that it was impossible to tell whether the redness was from the light or from her natural flush.

The boy bravely embraced her, just like before, making her feel safe and secure, and she wanted to rely on him completely.

"Thump—! Thump—!"

Even Kyushu Makoto could feel Mizuhashi Eiki's heart skip a beat as her petite body lay limply in his arms.

Makoto Kyushu completely forgot that it was a date. All he could think about was helping his junior, Mizuhashi, so she wouldn't be embarrassed by getting soaked. That was all.

The dolphin show came to a close, and the performers took their bows and left the stage amidst cheers from the audience.

Mizuhashi Ei-hime reluctantly crawled out of Kyushu Makoto's arms, her eyes looking somewhat dazed.

Just then, a trainer brought his dolphin up to the two and asked, "Would you two like to take a picture together?"

"Oh, us?" Kyushu Makoto pointed to himself: "Is this a paid service?"

"It's okay, no charge!" The trainer stroked the dolphin beside him and fed it a fish. "This is the first time I've ever seen a boyfriend who dares to bring his girl to sit in the front row and still not let her get wet! You two are a wonderful couple, consider this photo a reward for you!"

“We’re…a great couple?” A hint of surprise flashed in Mizuhashi Eiki’s eyes, and a blush rose on her cheeks.

Before she could react, Kyushu Makoto eagerly pulled her hand and led her to the dolphin: "Then I'll trouble you. I've never taken a picture with a dolphin before!"

Kyushu Makoto casually pulled his junior close, pressing their cheeks together.

The trainer behind him stuck out his tongue playfully, striking an exaggerated pose. The dolphin seemed to let out a soft "ooh" and gently leaped up.

"Click!" A staff member took a picture of them with his phone and exclaimed, "You two look so intimate! May you grow old together in love!"

"Really? That's great! (referring to the successful research)" Kyushu Makoto took the phone and excitedly shook hands with the staff and trainers.

The "Dating Guide" says that when taking photos with a girl, the closer the better, ideally you should hug each other and have your faces touching.

"Luckily I remembered this part..." Kyushu Makoto sighed, thankful that his memory was still pretty good.

Mizuhashi Ei-hee stood there dumbfounded, completely bewildered by what was happening.

Meanwhile, the man in the floral shirt in the back row was trembling, staring at Kyushu Makoto as if possessed, completely ignoring his girlfriend's attempt to drag him to take a picture with the dolphins.

Damn it... What was that just now? That was so unfair!

I initially thought he was a country bumpkin who didn't understand the etiquette of dating, bringing a tacky umbrella on a date and letting his girlfriend sit in the front row of the dolphin show... But actually, it was all part of his plan; he just wanted to show off at that moment!

Despite looking like a pathetic country bumpkin, that cute little girl was completely captivated by him. What an overwhelming and domineering boyfriend! So powerful and strong!

He must want to prove to everyone that even if I wear the most tacky clothes and have the most unkempt hairstyle, I can still make girls blush, fall in love with me, and become infatuated with me!

A master... I've been misjudging him all along! This guy is the real master! He doesn't rely on looks or so-called "rules of dating," but uses unfathomable strategies to conquer women and manipulate their hearts. He's practically a love immortal who has reached the highest level of enlightenment!!

The man in the floral shirt felt immense regret when he realized that he had deliberately made things difficult for his girlfriend in order to impress her.

His behavior, in the eyes of the boy, was probably nothing short of clown-like... It was utterly ugly and despicable!

If he could do it all over again, he would kneel down at the boy's feet without hesitation, and shout with tears streaming down his face:

"Coach...I want to be in a relationship!"

63. Thank you, Love Master!

Kyushu Makoto held Mizuhashi Eiki's little hand as they walked out of the performance hall together.

"Luckily I'm wearing a leather jacket today. Actually, I don't usually like leather jackets." Kyushu Makoto shook the water droplets off his collar and sighed.

The material has very poor elasticity, making it inconvenient to fight; you have to take it off first.

Mizuhashi Ei-hi lowered her head and whispered, "Mmm..."

After the dolphin show, Mizuhashi kept her head down, her cheeks flushed, and she looked very reserved.

Even though it was their first date, how come he's so skilled...? Mizuhashi Eiki felt that her senior's advances were too fierce, and she was about to collapse.
