Kyoto: I just want to be a gentleman

But just when he took the first step.

Nishii Satomi suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes flashing with the confusion and bewilderment of just waking up, as if she had not yet fully recovered from the dream.

She looked at Watanabe Hideyuki who was bending down, then looked at her feet with half of her shoes taken off, and her cheeks suddenly turned red.

Watanabe Hideyuki stopped moving for a moment.

He looked at Nishii Rimi with a guilty conscience. Looking at the girl's bright eyes, he was actually a little afraid to look her in the eye.

Is this... how it feels when you get busted?

However, he didn't seem to have done anything bad, so why should he feel guilty?

He was just kindly helping the girl with a foot massage.

Right, that is it.

Moreover, this kind of project in Tobita Shinchi will be charged.

He didn't charge any fees for the work because he was his deskmate, and it was considered voluntary labor.

Great, needless to say.

Thinking of this, Watanabe Hideyuki quickly became righteous.

Under the girl's gaze, he put his shoes back on her feet as if nothing had happened.

"You're awake." After doing all this, Watanabe Hideyuki looked up at Nishii Satomi, pretending to know nothing and asking with concern, "Why did you wake up? Is it too hot in the car?"

Watanabe Hideyuki kindly closed the car windows, not only his own, but also the front and back windows.

Then adjust the small air conditioner above your head to be slightly towards the girl.

People who have just woken up should not stand in front of the air conditioner, or they will catch a cold.

"Do you want to continue sleeping?" Watanabe Hideyuki asked softly.

Nishii Satomi shook her head. She was no longer sleepy at all.

What's more, if she fell asleep, the boy would use unknown means to play tricks on her.

She knows him best.

But it would be really boring if I don’t sleep.

Her schoolbag was placed on the luggage rack above, and it was difficult to take it down given her height. Even the thought of reading a book required the help of the boy.

So what to do?

Nishii Satomi fell into the same dilemma as Hideyuki ten minutes ago.

Let’s chat.

Nishii Satomi racked her brains, trying to think of a topic to talk to the boy about.

Leibniz formula?

Lagrange's mean value theorem?

Equation of a straight line in space?

Finally, Nishii Satomi asked in a low voice, stammering.

"Watanabe... classmate..."

"Ok?"

"Have you...been to...Nara...?"

Seeing Nishii Rimi's blushing face, Hideyuki originally thought she was going to ask some strange question.

It seemed like his expectations were in vain.

Watanabe Hideyuki shook his head decisively.

He has been studying and reading all the time, so how can he find time to travel?

Nishii Rimi seemed to have found something in common with them, and her tone of voice rose slightly: "I... haven't been there either..."

It was only at this time that Watanabe Hideyuki realized the girl's intention to communicate with him.

So he took the initiative to take over the conversation, saying, "I heard that Nara Park is very interesting."

"According to the attraction description on Apple Maps, there are now more than 1,400 deer in Nara Park. If we're lucky, we can buy some deer crackers to feed the deer and take photos with them."

"Ah."

“And Mount Yoshino.”

"I heard that we can see white mountain cherry blossoms all over the mountains this month. If we are lucky enough, we can even participate in the festival."

"Ah."

"Of course there is..." Watanabe Hideyuki's voice suddenly dropped and his eyes became subtle.

"Ok?"

Such an action successfully aroused the girl's curiosity.

Watanabe Hideyuki signaled the girl to come over. After hesitating for a long time, the cat named curiosity in the girl's heart gently climbed over the high wall, with its ears close to the boy's mouth.

She only heard words like "mixed bathing" and "hot spring", and could not hear anything else the boy said.

Thinking of this... (500 words omitted)

Chapter 62: Test of Courage (2)

"Everyone, please come back by 6pm. We will have a picnic at 6pm and then hold a courage test." Mizutani Riho stood at the front of the class team and said to everyone with a smile, "Then, disperse now and be safe!"

After saying this, Mizutani Riho waved her hand to signal everyone to move freely.

With her order, the class team began to disband, and the students scattered like birds and beasts.

Watanabe Hideyuki didn't know why he felt familiar when he saw this scene.

After thinking for a long time, he finally found the source of that familiar feeling.

It was the scene in the anti-Japanese drama I watched in my previous life, where the Eighth Route Army defeated the Japanese.

There seems to be no difference between the two, both are running around in a swarm. If you have to find a difference, then the biggest difference is the expressions on their faces.

One had a smile on his face, the other was crying for his parents.

Ishiyama Ryoma used his tall and strong body to squeeze through the crowd. He originally wanted to invite Watanabe Hideyuki to go to Kasuga Taisha Shrine to pray together. He heard that Kasuga Taisha Shrine was particularly effective.

But when he saw Watanabe Hideyuki holding Nishii Satomi's hand and walking forward.

He knew that everything had changed.

They can't go back.

The two figures running towards the sunset represent their lost youth.

Ishiyama Ryoma turned around silently, opened his bow with both hands, and squeezed back the same way he had squeezed in.

He now wants to use Line to contact the school girl who stuffed love letters into his shoe cabinet.

Second dimension singles alliance.

Now officially announced the disbandment.

Watanabe Hideyuki did not notice the little episode behind him. He held Nishii Satomi's hand, hailed a taxi, and headed straight for Nara Park.

Nara Park was not far from their campsite, only a ten-minute drive away.

After getting off the car, the two were immediately attracted by the scene before them.

The park was full of green trees, lush flowers and plants, and one winding path after another led to the depths of the park.

Not far away, a group of deer were strolling leisurely, their graceful postures and smooth fur made them look like elves. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, and the deer were covered with a layer of golden halo, which was breathtakingly beautiful.

There are few tourists at this time of year, only a few scattered people and one deer after another.

Watanabe Hideyuki and Nishii Satomi felt the soft grass under their feet and breathed the fresh air, as if they were in a paradise.

As they approached, the deer raised their heads and looked at the two uninvited guests curiously. Their eyes were clear and bright, revealing a sense of innocence.

Nishii Satomi couldn't help but exclaim softly, she had never thought that she could get so close to these cute deer. She carefully reached out her hand and tried to touch their soft fur.

The deer didn't seem afraid. Instead, they approached her and sniffed her hands.

Watanabe Hideyuki, who was standing nearby, acted as the cameraman. He kept changing the shooting postures and angles to take photos of the girl and the deer.

After a long time, when Nishii Rimi was about to leave, a few deer actually held onto the hem of Nishii Rimi's clothes reluctantly and would not let her leave.

This scene instantly melted Nishii Rimi's heart. She squatted down, gently stroked the deer's heads, and comforted them softly. It took a lot of effort for Nishii Rimi to truly say goodbye to these little deer.

"They look a bit like you..."

"Like... me?"

"As cute as you are."

What a cheesy love talk.

The girl thought.

Even in their remote homeland of Shikoku, such love talk is out of fashion.

But she still couldn't help but put her arm around Watanabe Hideyuki's arm.

"Where...are we going?" Nishii Rimi asked softly.

"Kasuga... the Grand Shrine, right?" Watanabe Hideyuki replied uncertainly, "It should not be far away."

It’s not far indeed, Kasuga Taisha Shrine is located in Nara Park.

The two followed the signs in the park and walked for twenty minutes before arriving at their destination.

Kasuga Taisha Shrine was built in 710 by Fujiwara no Fuhito, the patron saint of the Fujiwara family, who were in power at the time. The shrine is also famous for the vines.

The reason why Nara's deer have survived to this day and become Japan's national natural monument is closely related to the fact that the deer themselves are the messengers of Kasuga Taisha Shrine.

The so-called "sacred deer worship" originated from the Nara period.

The history of Kasuga Taisha Shrine can be traced back to the time when Takenami-no-Mikoto, revered as the "God of War," descended upon Ukumomine on the top of Mt. Mikagami (commonly known as Mt. Kasuga).
