Tokyoites don't have martial virtue

"Alright, alright, I'll be your accomplice then~ That way I won't be able to report you~"

After exchanging a few casual pleasantries, the two parted ways.

Before leaving, Kyushu Makoto packed a whole bag of snacks, almost emptying the entire pile of offerings.

Back at point ***, Makoto Kyushu shared the food with the friends he had met.

"Tang Ze, here's some potato chips for you."

"Great, I'm starving!"

"Suzuki-kun, want a Coke?"

"Huh? Where did you buy it, Kyushu-kun?"

"A gift from someone else."

"Mizuhashi-kun, would you like some jelly?"

"Th-thank you, senior! Actually... you can just call me Ei-chan (whispering)..."

"Fujii-kun is here too! I have some bread here, I'm not hungry yet, please have some."

"Thank you, Brother Cheng!"

It was noon, and the students who participated in the volunteer activities returned to the designated location, where teachers distributed lunch to them.

"Thank you for your hard work! You can come back for more if you're still hungry!" Teacher Jiangniao, wearing a white apron, handed the students lunchboxes and bottled water.

The teacher standing nearby quickly whispered a reminder: "Hey, each student can only take one, right? We didn't prepare any extras."

Teacher Jiang Niao smiled gently: "The students are willing to volunteer, so we can't let them go hungry. I can just go to the convenience store and buy them some."

"Well... if you want to pay out of your own pocket, then go ahead..." The teacher next to him scratched his head, clearly not wanting to cause trouble.

Twenty minutes later, Ms. Jiangniao finished distributing the lunch boxes, including one for herself.

A male student from the student council said he overslept and hadn't eaten breakfast, and was so hungry he was almost seeing stars, so Ms. Jiang gave him her own lunchbox.

Watching the other teachers happily devour their lunchboxes, Teacher Jiangniao sat on a wooden chair and sighed softly.

As the weather gradually became hotter, she felt dizzy and her throat was very dry.

"Plop—" Suddenly, a slightly cool drink was pressed against her flushed cheek, making her shiver.

"Have some, someone gave it to me." Kyushu Makoto took out a few bagged breads and placed two bottles of juice in front of her.

"Hey, Kyushu-kun..." Teacher Jiangniao picked up the bread with delight, tore open the bag, and took a bite without waiting: "Delicious!"

"If you want to be an excellent teacher, health is also very important," Kyushu Makoto casually remarked.

"By the way, I just saw a female classmate sprain her ankle. Could you take her to the hospital after you finish eating?"

Teacher Jiang Niao swallowed the bread in one gulp and nodded obediently, "Mmm!"

92. The Second Field Trip

The next day during lunch break, Suzuki Yujin and Mizuhashi Eiki were secretly discussing something, and Mizuhashi Eiki was also writing and drawing in her notebook.

"Good afternoon, what are you talking about?" Kyushu Makoto walked up to the rooftop and greeted them.

Upon seeing Makoto Kyushu arrive, Eiki Mizuhashi immediately became flustered, while Hisahito Suzuki smiled happily:

"Kyushu-kun, Mizuhashi has something to tell you."

"What's wrong?" Kyushu Makoto asked his junior.

"Um...senpai..." Mizuhashi Eiki nervously twisted her two index fingers, mustering her courage: "Would you mind going on another mock date with me?"

"Do you need inspiration again?" Kyushu asked.

"Mmm!" Mizuhashi Eiki nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "I'm working on the plot for the third volume. I wish you could go on another mock date with me!"

After pausing for a moment, Mizuhashi Eiki quickly added, "The first volume was unexpectedly well-received, and I received a lot of royalties... Let me ask you for help this time, senpai!"

"Wow, that's amazing, Kyushu-nii!" Tang Zegui nudged Kyushu Makoto's armpit with his elbow and joked in a low voice, "To be able to get girls to spend money on you, you must have the talent to become a top-notch male escort!"

"Let's meet on Saturday, I don't have any work that day." Kyushu Makoto was quite straightforward: "Where do you want to go?"

Mizuhashi Eiji pulled out her notebook, looked at the words on it, and said, "Let's go see a movie! After the movie, we'll have dinner together... and then... then we'll find a place with a nice night view for a walk~"

After speaking, Mizuhashi Eiji quietly covered half of her face with her notebook, her eyes looking a little flustered.

“No problem.” Kyushu Makoto looked at Suzuki Yuujin: “Did you come up with the idea for her?”

"Of course, I'm your love strategist!" Suzuki Yuujin pointed his thumb at his face and said smugly, "Are you confident you can handle this, Kyushu-kun?"

"Of course, I will do my best!" Kyushu Makoto showed a confident smile:

"I'll definitely be able to use my experience from the last date to this one."

......

That evening, at the "Kyushu Ichibanboshi" ramen shop

"Eh~~ You're going on a date with your junior?" Suzumiya Kame slurped up a noodle, her eyes widening in surprise: "You actually have a girlfriend?"

"She's not my girlfriend, just a classmate." Kyushu Makoto's tone was casual.

"I was just helping her gather material for her light novel."

"What... what are you talking about? What girl would go on a date with a man she doesn't like just for the sake of 'gathering material'?"

Suzumiya Kame realized the seriousness of the situation and quickly reminded her, "She definitely likes you!"

"Oh, really?" Kyushu Makoto took a sip of tonkotsu soup and asked, puzzled, "But she didn't tell me that outright."

"..." Suzumiya Momiji was speechless after hearing that. She put down her chopsticks, took three deep breaths, and then burst into wild laughter, banging on the table.

"Hahaha! Ahahahahaha! I can't take it anymore! Ahahahaha! Listen to what you're saying, Chunchuan! Ahahahahaha!"

The restaurant owner, who was cooking noodles, was also drawn over by her laughter and exclaimed in surprise, "Why are you laughing so hard? Did I make ramen that makes people laugh nonstop?"

"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?" Kyushu Makoto frowned.

“Hey, let me tell you…” Suzumiya Momiji looked at him with interest: “If a girl seriously confessed her feelings to you, what would you do?”

"Of course I have to respond to her head-on! A man can't back down at a time like this!" Kyushu Makoto clenched his fists and swore as if it were the most natural thing in the world:

"Whether you agree or refuse, you must give a prompt answer. You absolutely cannot be perfunctory, otherwise you'll be wasting her youth!"

"Eh~ I didn't expect you to be so innocent~" Suzumiya Kame said softly, resting her chin on her hand.

"These days, young men prefer ambiguous romantic relationships, ideally stringing together three, four, seven, or even eight girls at the same time!"

"Isn't this just scum?" Kyushu Makoto exclaimed in surprise.

"

"Don't say things carelessly, or you'll become public enemy number one among men..." Suzumiya Kame sighed, rubbing her forehead.

"Fine, since you're going on a date, I'll teach you a trick~"

"Teach me a trick?"

"It's a move that can make a girl's heart race nonstop!"

......

On Saturday afternoon, the two met at a movie theater in Ginza.

"Senior, I arrived first this time~"

As soon as Kyushu Makoto arrived at the movie theater entrance, he saw Mizuhashi Eiki waiting for him.

Unlike last time, this time the junior wore a dark-colored long dress, but the theme was still "cute".

"There are still twenty minutes before the movie starts, we can go buy popcorn first." Kyushu Makoto took the junior's hand and quickly switched to date mode:

"Let's go, Ying-chan."

"Hmm~" Mizuhashi Eiki's body trembled slightly, and her pretty face blushed.

The two watched an adventure romance movie called "The Journey of the Fire".

The film tells the story of a fire-bringing hero and a ritual witch who fall in love in a post-apocalyptic world, but are ultimately forced to part ways due to their respective missions.

"Don't go...don't go to the World's Forge! Becoming firewood only leads to death!"

"This world is about to plunge into darkness, there's no other choice... At least you can survive, that's what I want."

"But what's the point? Who will be grateful to you for sacrificing yourself to save the world?"

"It doesn't matter. The immortals are born to create miracles! For love, I'd gladly destroy the entire world!"

Although the film has some melodramatic romantic subplots, its overall quality far outweighs its flaws. I watched the entire movie intently and felt my courage and thoughtfulness were somewhat enhanced.

Mizuhashi Eiki seemed to be crying. When the movie ended, Kyushu Makoto noticed the tear stains in her eyes and handed her a tissue.

After the movie ended, the two left the cinema hand in hand.

Before leaving, Makoto Kyushu saw a movie trailer on the screen in the lobby, which seemed to be going to be broadcast soon.

The movie is called "Revolutioner + Savior," which is said to be based on the Akihabara case that happened not long ago.

The story employs a dual narrative structure. On one side is the gunman: a tragic childhood marked by his father's alcoholism and suicide, his mother's involvement in an illegal cult, his brother's suicide, and repeated attempts to call the police for help to no avail. Driven by a desire for revenge against societal injustice and to make the people aware of the government's incompetence, he resolutely takes up a homemade shotgun, preparing to commit the largest and most heinous mass killing in Wano Country's history.
