Kyoto: I just want to be a gentleman

Page 32

"It's... It's not as good as Hideyuki-kun said..."

As if feeling Hideyuki's heavy breathing, Satomi slowly raised her head and saw the boy's face almost touching hers, with his iconic, bright and clear eyes.

The boy kissed the girl on the cheek out of the blue, and it took the girl a long time to react.

"Hideyuki-kun is teasing me again."

"I'm not teasing you at all. It's just that Satomi-chan is so adorable." Hideyuki said as his two big hands secretly lifted up the hem of the girl's clothes.

The ginger-colored long sleeves were lifted up little by little until the snow-white skin was slowly exposed along the perfect curves.

Nishii Satomi promptly knocked away the boy's mischievous hands, then mustered up her courage and looked him straight in the face: "Hideyuki, let's make a deal."

"What deal?" Xiuxing asked confusedly.

He didn't notice that the girl quietly deleted the honorific after her name.

"If Hideyuki-kun ranks higher than me in the next exam, I will tell Hideyuki a secret the next time we come to Kiyomizu-dera Temple."

"What a secret."

"Hideyuki-kun, secrets are secrets~"

"Then we have a deal." Xiuxing was full of confidence. Just kidding, he had cheats. With a few more points, he couldn't even imagine how smart he was. How could he lose to the girl?

But just to be on the safe side, he still asked one more question: "What if I don't pass the exam?"

As if he was afraid of showing his weakness, he quickly added: "I'm just asking, I said only if, what if I don't pass the exam."

"Hideyuki-kun promised me a favor..."

"Good! A gentleman's word is as good as gold!"

A melodious bell sound came from a temple not far away, startling the birds in the forest and bringing the two people in the pavilion back to reality.

Nishii Satomi checked the time, stood up, and put the tea sets in order: "It's almost time for the temple to close, there should be few people. Can Hideyuki accompany me again? This trip can't be in vain."

There is nothing wrong with showing off.

The two walked side by side and strolled to the front of Nioumon Gate.

From a distance, only the outline of the Thousand-Armed Guanyin statue could be seen. As the sun gradually set, the sky was dyed an orange-red color. The golden afterglow shone on the Buddha statue, as if covering the Bodhisattva statue with a thin layer of golden gauze.

According to the custom of worship.

The two men bowed lightly in front of the incense money box, rang the bell, and put in the incense money.

The whole process is a bit complicated, bowing twice, clapping twice, and then bowing again.

Then put your hands together and pray to the gods to fulfill your wishes.

The two were naturally extremely pious. No matter whether they believed it or not, after all... they were already here.

Moreover, Xiuxing always felt that someone was watching him from somewhere.

Hideyuki didn't know what wish Rimi-chan made.

Anyway, his wish was for everything to go well and be safe and smooth.

Xiuxing sighed deeply in his heart, and thought, how great it would be if prayers could be answered.

Perhaps it was an accidental touch, or perhaps it was a response from the gods. The phone in his trouser pocket emitted a faint light, and there was a line of tiny words at the top of the calendar on the main screen:

On October 3rd, Peng Zu observed a hundred taboos. It is advisable to offer sacrifices and pray for blessings; but it is taboo to dig new ground and do transactions.

Chapter 34 Accident and Chase

Sunday.

Shijo Kawaramachi.

Shijo Kawaramachi is the most bustling and prosperous place in Kyoto and the best place for shopping.

OPA and Takashimaya Department Store are located right next to Hankyu Railway Kawaramachi Station Exit 4 at the intersection of Shijo-dori and Kawaramachi-dori.

Going further west, you will find Shinkyogoku Shopping Street, Teramachi-dori Shopping Street, and Nishiki Market, which is known as the kitchen of Kyoto people.

If you go east, you will pass the famous Kamo River.

Kamogawa is a very relaxing place. There are many long-established restaurants lined up next to the Kamogawa River. In the summer, people sit on the floor that is made of stacked wooden frames and extends outward from the river surface to enjoy delicious food. This is Kyoto's famous "nouryouyuka", which feels very similar to the scene in the Conan movie "Crossroads in the Labyrinth".

If you go further east.

I can’t leave now. Hideyuki Watanabe hasn’t been there either.

He only knew that it was the "Gion Hanami-koji" where one could look for geishas.

Last time he wanted to go, but unfortunately an accident happened.

To be honest, Hideyuki Watanabe doesn't really like shopping.

He hated the smell of sweat as the crowds of people passed by him in the hot morning weather.

Hate never comes out of nowhere.

Only through comparison can we compare the pros and cons of two things and clearly understand our own attitude.

However, when he saw the energetic Chiaki Kitano beside him, the inexplicable feeling of anxiety in Watanabe Hideyuki's heart disappeared.

Yes.

After careful consideration, he decided not to stand up Kitano Chiaki.

Although he hadn't seen her for nearly a week.

Today, Chiaki Kitano wore a slightly sexy belly-baring outfit.

The short top was clinging to her slender waist, revealing a flat and tight belly that looked like a carefully carved work of art, gleaming slightly in the sun.

As she walked briskly, the hem of her shirt gently rolled up and swayed, which made people focus on her graceful figure.

But something seemed wrong.

Where is it?

Watanabe Hideyuki secretly glanced at Kitano Chiaki who was choosing a novel in the bookstore.

Until his eyes fixed on Kitano Chiaki's chest.

He felt the saleslady's gaze looking at him as if he was a pervert.

He was pretty sure that the salesgirl was calling him a pervert in her heart.

It’s not his fault.

It is really...

He got it.

He found the source of that strange feeling.

For some reason, Kitano Chiaki's chest seemed to have swelled up compared to the last time they met.

Is it cushioned?

Based on Watanabe Hideyuki's experience, it doesn't seem like it.

However, only by conducting experiments yourself can you draw corresponding conclusions.

Without practice, there is no right to speak.

He said...

I don’t know why, but when Kitano Chiaki saw him, she didn’t say anything and just pulled him into the bookstore.

During that period, I never communicated with him. I just read the novel in silence, treating him as if he were air.

No, he is still somewhat different from the air.

He can carry Kitano Chiaki's bag.

Oh, the future Oscar winner for Best Director, Nobel Prize winner in Literature, outstanding graduate of Waseda University, and gentleman of Kyoto actually carries the bag for the second daughter of a mere Kyoto Prefecture warden's family.

reasonable.

Very reasonable.

Watanabe Hideyuki could only stare at the girl reading quietly.

During this time, he also picked up a book, which was his favorite light novel "My Youth Romantic Comedy Never Ends".

He hadn't watched it in months.

I didn't expect that this novel would have a final volume.

He casually stuffed the novel into the girl's shopping basket.

uh-huh.

Anyway, Miss Kitano will pay for today's consumption, so he doesn't care.

Wuhu.

Thinking in his mind, Watanabe Hideyuki picked up a single volume of "Oregairu".

He has not collected this one yet.
