Kyoto: I just want to be a gentleman

First or second?

Last year, when he was camping at the beach, he stripped naked, packed himself into a sleeping bag and put it in Watanabe Hideyuki's tent.

another...

Xiuxing didn't dare to think back.

It's outrageous.

...

Busy work is done.

Watanabe Hideyuki brought the last portion of roasted bird to Mizutani Riho.

Only his beloved teacher Mizutani could enjoy this unique treatment of having the chef deliver the food to his door.

However, at this moment, Mizutani Riho in front of him didn't seem to think so.

She tried to put on a stern expression and used her willpower to fight the temptation of the delicious food on the plate in front of her.

"What's the matter? Tell me."

Xiu Xing was not shy and said directly, "I want to be in the courage test later with Nishii-san."

Before the test of courage competition begins, people usually draw lots to divide the groups into two groups.

"At least you have some conscience." After hearing Watanabe Hideyuki's request, Mizutani Riho took the plate from Watanabe Hideyuki's hand very naturally. As the class teacher, she naturally knew some of the little actions of Watanabe Hideyuki and Nishii Satomi during class, and she also hoped that the two of them could finally get together.

"Three or four girls came to me today and wanted me to put you in their group."

"Ok?"

"Especially Ishizaki-san." Mizutani Riho looked in a certain direction meaningfully.

Watanabe Hideyuki followed Mizutani Riho's gaze. Ishizaki, the girl from before, was talking to a few other girls, occasionally glancing over here.

Noticing the two people's gazes, Ishizaki took the initiative to wave over here, and Mizutani Riho also waved back.

"Ishizaki seems to admire you very much." Mizutani Riho teased the boy in front of her, "Her father is a famous entrepreneur, and she is the only daughter in the family. If..."

Mizutani Riho stopped talking halfway.

For some words, just click on it.

"Her father's wealth has nothing to do with me." Watanabe Hideyuki looked at Mizutani Riho seriously, "Only what you earn yourself is yours. This is also the creed of Kyoto gentlemen, teacher."

"A gentleman in Kyoto will never live under someone else's roof, absolutely not." For some reason, Watanabe Hideyuki emphasized the last few words and spoke them word by word.

Mizutani Riho was slightly stunned.

She remembered what Watanabe Hideyuki had said to her in the izakaya not long ago.

She originally thought that it was just the boastful words of a drunken teenager...

did not expect...

This is why she likes chatting with the boy in front of her. It's interesting... and it seems like she sees herself a few years ago.

Chapter 64: Test of Courage (4)

(Chapter 65 has entered the small black room and is expected to be released at noon. The ultimate move is already charging)

The eerie cave looks like a huge black mouth, quietly opening on the steep mountainside. The entrance is half-covered by dense vines and moss, exuding a rather primitive atmosphere.

As soon as Watanabe Hideyuki and Nishii Satomi stepped into the cave, they felt a cold and damp air blowing in their faces, making them shiver.

"Are...we...really going in..." Nishii Satomi hesitated. Her murmurs echoed at the entrance of the large cave, sounding extremely trembling.

The task of this test of courage is to leave a name tag with your name in the center of the cave, and then pass through the cave to succeed in the challenge.

To reach the cave, they had to pass through a fairly large forest.

It’s a pity to give up halfway now.

Watanabe Hideyuki observed the scene around him.

The cave was completely dark, with only a faint light from afar barely illuminating the surroundings. The rock walls were jagged and looked like countless monsters were watching from the dark, sending chills down one's spine.

Occasionally, a cold wind blew, causing the air in the cave to whistle, like the wail of a ghost, making people feel creepy.

The ground underfoot was also slippery and difficult to walk on. From time to time, water drops dripped from the top of the cave, splashing into the puddles on the ground.

The caves in the depths are even darker, as if leading to another unknown world. Occasionally, strange noises are heard, like ancient spells, reflecting and interweaving on the cave walls, filling people with fear.

...It's a bit spooky indeed.

However, if it wasn't eerie, it wouldn't have been chosen as the venue for the senior high school department's test of courage. After all, generally speaking, a test of courage is more like an activity for elementary and junior high school students.

The school has really made good efforts to reduce their burden.

Before he had time to complain about the school in his heart, Watanabe Hideyuki felt Nishii Satomi's body trembling slightly beside him, and he couldn't help but hold her hand tightly.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Perhaps it was Hideyuki's firm voice or his actions that made Nishii Satomi realize that there was another person standing beside her.

Her body slowly calmed down.

"Okay, let's go in." Nishii Satomi took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and said this slowly.

Although her voice was still a little trembling, it was obviously a great improvement compared to before.

Watanabe Hideyuki nodded, holding the girl's hand with his left hand and holding a candle in his right hand, and walked towards the cave.

The two people walked carefully on the slippery ground, fearing that they would accidentally step into a puddle.

Gradually, they went deeper into the cave. The air around them seemed to become colder, and an indescribable strange smell filled the air.

In order to ease the atmosphere, Watanabe Hideyuki began to find some light topics to chat with Nishii Satomi, trying to distract her attention.

"Once upon a time there was a fat man. He jumped from a tall building. Rimi-chan, do you know what he became?"

"Meat...paste?" Nishii Satomi answered uncertainly.

"Fatty."

For some reason, she felt the air seemed to become even colder.

"... again."

"Let's have a race between a tortoise and a hare, and let the pig be the referee. Who will win?"

"..."

Nishii Satomi was silent for a moment, and just when Hideyuki thought she had seen through the language trap, she asked.

“Isn’t this question wrong?”

"What's wrong?"

"No other additional conditions are given, such as the speed of the turtle in meters per second, the speed of the rabbit, or the distance. There are no conditions at all, so this question is a false proposition." Nishii Satomi said firmly.

Once she started doing the questions, she didn't seem so scared anymore.

"So what you mean is?" Now it was Watanabe Hideyuki who was hesitating.

"There is a loophole in this question. If I answer the tortoise you will say the rabbit. If I answer the rabbit you will tell me the answer is the tortoise."

Watanabe Hideyuki discovered that the girl had a magical characteristic.

Every time I concentrate on doing something, the shyness in me disappears.

Every time this happened, he always wondered if this little guy had been possessed by someone else.

"If the entire track is a 5-meter straight track, the rabbit's speed is 1 meters per second, and the turtle's speed is meter per second, without considering other conditions, who will win?" Watanabe Hideyuki gave a precise condition.

Immediate answer!

Nishii Satomi didn't hesitate at all: "Rabbit!"

"Congratulations to our little pig classmate, he got the answer right."

"Huh?!" Only then did Nishii Satomi realize that she seemed to have fallen into Watanabe Hideyuki's language trap.

"Come again!"

The unconvinced girl asked Watanabe Hideyuki to ask questions again. She thought that the only thing that could surpass Watanabe Hideyuki now was her IQ. If she lost again...

Moreover, she would not allow herself to fail to answer such a simple brain teaser.

This seemed to be the first time that Xiuxing felt the girl's embarrassed and annoyed expression.

Just when Watanabe Hideyuki was racking his brains to come up with a question for Nishii Satomi.

Suddenly, there was a strange sound of wind and the candle flame began to shake violently.

Seeing this, Watanabe Hideyuki hurriedly used his hands to protect the flames, but it seemed too late and the flames went out.

The cave suddenly fell into darkness, and one could not see one's hand in front of one's face.

Nishii Satomi tightly grasped Watanabe Hideyuki's arm, her body involuntarily moving closer to him, her voice trembling a little: "Hideyuki-kun, what... should we do?"

"Don't be afraid, I brought a lighter."

As Hideyuki said this, he placed the candle on the hand that Satomi was holding, and then began to touch his trouser pocket with his free hand.

...Huh?

It seems empty.

Watanabe Hideyuki didn't believe it and touched his shirt pocket again... the inner pocket...

I searched through almost every part of the clothes, but still couldn't find the lighter.

He seemed to remember.

When he was grilling the bird just now, he lit the charcoal with a lighter and placed it next to the table. When he left...it seemed like he didn't take it away.

Even the candle in their hands was lit by the school teacher and given to them.

Nishii Satomi also felt Watanabe Hideyuki's stiffness. Obviously, the smart girl had realized the difficulties she would face next, and she hugged Hideyuki even tighter.

There are now two paths before the two of them.

One is to risk it and go ahead.
