Finally, when the spring door behind closed.

Yukinoshita Yukino heard thunder rumbling in the distance.

Chapter 11: Night Talk in the Rain

Shinomiya Kaguya suddenly woke up from her light sleep. The jeep under her had stopped at some point. Drops of rain as big as beans fell on the roof of the jeep and the cracked window in front of it, drawing messy tracks in the dark night.

"It's raining."

As if stating a fact, Xiao Ci Mu Liu Cheng leaned back in his seat, with his feet raised ungracefully and resting on the steering wheel.

"How long have I slept?"

"2 hours, 12 minutes, 44 seconds."

After quickly checking her body and finding nothing unusual, Shinomiya Kaguya breathed a sigh of relief.

When she looked up, she saw Xiao Ji Mu Liu Cheng observing her actions through the rearview mirror.

"Haven't you seen enough?"

Feeling offended, Shinomiya Kaguya's voice gradually became colder, and her eyes, which were blurry after a light sleep, turned sharp and stared at Kokoro Kiwase.

"You're good-looking but you don't want people to look at you?"

Xiaoci Mu Liucheng answered confidently.

Shinomiya Kaguya was speechless for a moment, and Xiao Konogi Liucheng's next words made her heart choke again, "But still not as good as Xiao Youzi."

"I'm so sorry that I can't compare to your sister!"

"After all, she has an excellent brother like me."

The humid wind slipped in through the window gap that the boy had deliberately left, taking away the heat in the car.

"Is it completely out of gas?"

Shinomiya Kaguya finally remembered this important matter that concerned both of their lives.

"No, we can still go a little further."

"Then why did you...?"

Shinomiya Kaguya stood up gracefully and stretched her body.

Because she slept on her side, half of her body felt numb.

"Look ahead."

Xiao Ci Mu Liu Cheng raised his angular chin and pouted forward, his ears turning red due to the temperature in the car.

The flash of the phone screen suddenly flickered on and off.

It was just a quick glance, and I saw two animals, one big and one small, standing motionless under a towering tree to shelter from the rain.

With her extremely high memory, Kaguya Shinomiya can outline their shapes in her mind based on her impressions.

It is the Triceratops in the picture book: they have a huge body like an elephant and a grayish-white color, and they stand ferociously under the tree like a rhinoceros.

They have a pair of horns above their eyes, which curve upward and extend about the length of their forearms, like tusks growing backwards. They also have a third horn on their noses that looks like a rhino's horn, and they also have a beak-like snout like a rhino.

"These two triceratops seem to have very poor eyesight and seem to be easily frightened.

When I drove up here, they were eating leaves from that tree and rushed over immediately after hearing the car."

After a pause, Xiao Jinmu Yuzu continued with a smile: "But when I stopped the car, they seemed to not see us. They walked around the same place for a few times and then went back to eating leaves."

"If we stay in the car, we should be pretty safe tonight."

Xiao Kokoroki Liucheng handed the phone with the screen brightness adjusted to the lowest setting to Shinomiya Kaguya, "I took some photos before it got completely dark. You were asleep at the time, so you can look at them now."

Kaguya Shinomiya took the phone from Ryuo Kokoro. When their fingertips touched, Kaguya Shinomiya retracted her fingers as if she had been electrocuted. Looking at the smooth phone screen without a single button, she felt a little at a loss for a moment.

The girl placed her slender fingers on the photo of the Triceratops and accidentally pulled it apart, causing the photo to magically grow larger.

Shinomiya Kaguya quickly glanced at Koizumi Ryuoshi, and seeing that his attention was not on her, she breathed a sigh of relief for some reason and also looked at the photo of the Triceratops.

These two Triceratops have a fan-shaped fleshy crest on the back of their heads, which is made of bone and looks very hard.

The features of various parts of their bodies are extremely similar to those described in the book, giving people a subtle sense of déjà vu.

"It really looks like it's made up of the characteristics of various animals." Kaguya Shinomiya sighed softly.

"Do you think so too?" At this moment, Xiao Kotoki Ryuo was lying on the front seat, leaning his neck back. His face was very close to Shinomiya Kaguya. The boy's breath seemed to have a sweet smell, like the smell of frozen lemon in summer.

"Eh?

Don't look through my photo album!

Never mind, you can watch it if you want, it’s nothing shameful anyway.”

That's the beauty of a man having two mobile phones, one for public use.

To deal with his sister or mother's occasional checks (Yuzu actually wanted to gossip about the girls who confessed their love to him and what the results were; his mother Kojime Ume was wondering why her son, who was so outstanding, couldn't find a girlfriend, which was strange).

Another personal cell phone is used as a backup.

Every time sister Youzi returns her phone with a look of doubt about life, Liucheng would openly ask for Youzi's phone for the same reason.

Every time the girl would hesitate and fumble before handing over her phone.

This is brother's routine, silly sister.

Even though Liucheng would only symbolically click on her line and glance at it a few times each time, it was really fun to watch Yuzu's expression change with the movement of his fingers when he teased her!

“This is a photo of our family visiting the aquarium after we went to school. We asked Jasmine to help take the photo.

These two photos are of Yuzu and Jasmine leaning against the glass to look at sharks, their faces almost touching the glass, looking silly... "

As Kaguya Shinomiya slid through the album with her right finger, photos of Ryuichi Kokoro from high school to sixth grade flashed before her eyes. The twin brother and sister were always smiling in the photos, hugging their mother with a happy look on their faces.

From time to time, there are references to Mizusawa Jasmine, the "bad" sister who has a bad temper and is as willful as a little devil, as described by Okonomi Ryuo.

Is this the happiness of ordinary people? I am so envious!

Noticing that Kaguya Shinomiya was in a low mood, Kokoroki changed the subject in time, quietly opened the candy box, and handed a pink candy to Kaguya Shinomiya's mouth, "It has strawberry flavor, would you like to try it?"

The strawberry flavored candy tastes weird, but very sweet.

The food almost melted in her mouth. Shinomiya Kaguya's stomach made an uncomfortable sound and she hid in the back seat. Kokoro Kiyomi also pressed her stomach awkwardly, making even louder sounds.

"I should have taken that piece of meat with me."

Xiao Ci Mu Liu Cheng smacked his lips, regretting not taking the hind leg meat of the Dilophosaurus with him.

"Even if we bring it, in this hot and humid weather, the meat will stink on the road."

Shinomiya Kaguya glared at him weakly and retorted in a muffled voice.

"There's still half a box of candy left. Eat some first to fill your stomach."

Shinomiya Kaguya took the candy box, shook it, and stuffed it back into Xiao Konogi Liucheng's hands, "Too little."

"Actually, there is another way."

Kokoroki Ryuoku said to Shinomiya Kaguya mysteriously, "Beside the wall behind the two triceratops, there is actually a bunker hidden in the mountain, but the door has a combination lock.

Because you were asleep, I didn't dare to leave the car for too long, so I came back directly. Not long after, it started to rain heavily. "

"Then why did you get off the bus?"

Chapter 12 Decryption

“Is this what we should focus on?”

Xiaoci Mucheng was stunned.

"hehe."

Shinomiya Kaguya stopped talking, hugged her knees silently, leaned her head against the car window, and ignored him.

She counted silently in her mind, and it was true.

Xiao Ci Mu Liu Cheng, who had been holding back a lot of questions, finally gave in and said, "How about we wait until the rain stops and then go over there to take a look? I was just in a hurry at the time, and I definitely didn't want to abandon you."

Shinomiya Kaguya reluctantly accepted this reason. She nodded slightly and ordered like a princess, "Don't leave without saying a word before finding Hayasaka. If you get into danger alone, you won't even have time to ask for help.

Even if I fall asleep, you can wake me up. Your cheap tenderness will kill us."

It seemed to make sense. Xiao Ci Mu Liu Cheng realized his mistake, but he vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Why does her tone sound so much like that of a girlfriend, even though we’ve only seen each other for less than a day.

Even if it was the "suspension bridge effect", it took effect too quickly.

So my girlfriend is a hindrance and will only affect my winning the Koshien Summer Championship...

I'm tired of those stupid teammates who skipped the scheduled baseball practice with the excuse of accompanying their girlfriends; and before the finals, they couldn't sleep because they were so excited that their results far exceeded expectations, so they had several rounds with their girlfriends for ridiculous reasons...

"Definitely next time."

Xiao Ci Mu Liu Cheng responded ambiguously, turned around and sat down. He watched the raindrops outside the window gradually get smaller in silence, and opened the window wider. The fresh air after the rain refreshed him.

Quietly opening the car door, Kaguya Shinomiya followed behind Kokorogi Liucheng and groped her way forward. The muddy ground was slippery after the thunderstorm, so she had to hold Liucheng's shirt and step by step on his footprints.

The boy's solid back looked quite reliable. Raindrops fell along the broad leaves and dripped onto Kaguya Shinomiya's shoulders and neck under her beautiful short black hair.

After they crouched and sideways passed by the Triceratops, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Ke Mu Liu Cheng pointed in the direction of the bunker and turned back to whisper, "The left side is the combination lock. I tried pressing "one" and the corresponding display format is six digits. Just click the number key and the electronic lock will light up."

He whispered in Kaguya Shinomiya's ear, his actions were somewhat intimate, but did not cause Kaguya to feel uncomfortable.

"Go up and have a look."

Kokorogi Ryuo, who is not good at solving puzzles, looked at Shinomiya Kaguya standing in front of the combination lock door with anticipation and fell into deep thought.

"Have you ever taken photos?" - Kaguya's gentle voice seemed to come from the sky.

Kaguya Shinomiya remembered the photo behind the Triceratops, which was the combination lock taken by Ryuichi Kokoro.

Liu Cheng handed the phone to Shinomiya Kaguya. The numeric keypad in the photo did not look like it was used frequently, and most of the numbers were covered with dust.
