Facing the regretful look of the General Affairs Officer, Baiyin, who felt something was wrong, quickly added: "I don't mean to ask you to write it down, I just want to ask where is fun! After all, I have never been abroad, so I am still very interested in life abroad! Especially the Mauna Kea Observatory, I have always wanted to go there in person."

I’m not going to lie. Baiyin, who has always had a strong yearning for the starry sky, likes to read books on astronomy very much. When he was young, he even wanted to become an astronomer. Naturally, he had heard of the observatory in Hawaii.

This desire was so strong that he even had the delusion of using the metaphor of stars in an observatory somewhere to make Shinomiya shy and unable to help but confess his love.

Although it has not been implemented due to insufficient funds and lack of invitations, his love for stargazing has always been hidden in his heart and the burning flame has not been extinguished for a long time.

"That place." Xing Yuanhui put his thumb on his chin and thought for a while, then said with a subtle expression, "Of course I went there. It was very special so I had a deep impression of it. Due to the altitude, we waited on the mountainside for half an hour before being allowed to leave. It was also very cold on the mountain. We were in Hawaii, a tropical country in summer, but we had to wear thick clothes."

But the most impressive thing was not this. Tourists were not allowed to drive motorcycles up the mountain, so I was forced to get on the Fujiwara family's car and sit with Fujiwara Chika, who came uninvited as a tour guide, and listen to her bragging.

The road up the mountain was not well maintained, and the cars kept sticking together. In order to avoid misunderstanding, I had to lie down in the trunk and listen.

But there's no need to talk about this kind of detail, right? In your eyes, it's something you'd love to have, but I just know that the look I get when I get out of the trunk is very irritating...

"Oh? Is it true?" Baiyin was intrigued. He didn't care about protecting himself. He stood up and approached and asked, "How is it? I think it must be beautiful, right?"

"It feels like being on an airplane, with clouds under my feet and the sun directly in front of me." Xing Yuanhui's face was filled with emotion. As he spoke, he fell back into the depths of his memory. He squinted his eyes and involuntarily supported his face, thinking and saying, "If the time is right, I can watch the sun gradually sink into the clouds, dyeing the sky orange-red. When I look back, I find that the back of the mountain has already fallen into a silent blue-green..."

Then when I opened my eyes again, the light between my eyelids floated far away, blurring the boundary between memory and reality.

The point of light flew into the clouds and pretended to be the sun. All the light dissipated with its departure. Everything around it sank into the dark water, including the huge dome of the observatory, the tourists sightseeing together, and the last rays of the setting sun reflected on the car windows. Only the red car lights were left as the only color in the darkness.

In this scene that seems like the end of a movie, the protagonist continues to walk in a world unknown to the audience. People outside the screen also relax their bodies and minds, and become intoxicated in the painting as if they are sipping tea.

Only the senior schoolmate beside him raised her head like a powerful ending to a movie. She laughed while hugging his body, which was trembling in the wind, washing away his fatigue and adding another color to the beautiful world before their eyes.

She pulled him back to reality, or rather, broke into the screen, sharing this brief splendor together.

"How is it? Isn't this place nice?"

The girl tilted her head, her bow fluttering in the wind, her naughty pink hair flew over the hood and scarf, dotted around, and the fragrant shampoo floated in the air, just floating over the boy's nose, it was blown away by the wind and disappeared into the clouds, without a trace.

In fact, such scenery is already absolutely beautiful, but with people to share it with, it seems to have something more unclear.

Of course, if Fujiwara Chika had shut up in time, and had stood with her hands on her hips proudly, instead of risking sneezing and becoming a slug, and had shouted that she would add me to the Fujiwara family's family trip later, I think this memory would have sparkled under the starry sky of the sea of ​​memories, and would have been crowned with unknown laurels.

After all, the change of style was a bit sudden. It felt like a young man was patted on the shoulder by his boss in a new company, and then sent to Myanmar the next second...

However, a touch of bright pink forcefully intrudes into the shock of nature. Although it loses the sacred feeling that it can only be viewed from a distance and not touched, the extra friendly color may not be a bad thing.

Thinking of this, Xing Yuanhui couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

He was laughing and before he could reply he sneezed three times, making his face dirty. Fujiwara Chika wiped it with toilet paper in a sad face, but others just thought he was very proud of himself and that something was stuffed in his mouth for no reason.

"Tsk, look at the gentle smile on this man's face that is so gentle that it can drown you." In contrast to this gentle smile, there was a black flame of jealousy behind Ishigami. He seemed to be choked by pink bubbles in his throat. His glaring eyes seemed to have lasers shooting out at any time and anywhere. He screamed like a ghost demanding his soul, "It looks like a 'full-load' journey, huh?"

The accountant's voice was heavy on those four words, and Xing Yuanhui was immediately pulled back to reality. After sorting out his thoughts, he coughed and said, "What happened? Later, I boarded a triangular trade ship... plane, and lived a life at the mercy of others."

It's miserable to lose the initiative after losing the bet. I can't even lie down for a whole day. I have to go wherever the girl points.

"Oh?" Ishigami glanced at Baiyin, who was still immersed in the starry sky described by Xing Yuanhui, and without a moment's hesitation, he said alone, "Really? I don't believe it. It must be a happy journey of pleasure?!"

Otherwise, there is no way to explain why Fujiwara-senpai has updated so many more photos than last summer! It must be because of you, she wants to commemorate you more!

"Then I'll switch with you." Xing Yuanhui was very decisive, and he named the dishes with a sinister smile, "You can roll down a slope covered with hay to chase a giant cheese, or assemble your own boat with old bathtubs and toilets to cross Lake Erie, or even eat the legendary devil pepper, and you can't drink water on the way... There are all kinds of challenges, only you can't think of them, but there is nothing that Fujiwara Chika can't find. If you are quite confident in these weird projects, then I believe you will find your other half soon."

It's just a joke. Even though there are many internet celebrities and clowns on the Internet, they may change girlfriends faster than you change your two-dimensional wife.

"This..." Ishigami suddenly felt a little sympathetic, "So that's not an exaggerated way to describe your happiness?"

I thought that was Fujiwara-senpai expressing her strong will to be with the person she loves even if it means going through fire and water! After all, the pictures were stolen from the Internet, who knows if they are all true.

It seems that Xingyuan didn't want to appear on her Twitter, so the senior student just posted a few pictures at random.

I was actually misled. I'm really sorry for being so mean to you today. It seems that the bouquet that was snatched at the wedding should refer to something else. I thought you were getting engaged. I'm sorry...

"Don't you think it's a bit weird to 'exaggerate' an event that's actually taking place in real life?" Xing Yuanhui's gloomy gaze made Shi Shang shrink his neck. He said unhappily, "If this is such a relaxing and pleasant journey, do you think I would step into your obvious trap? No, this is of course just a small sacrifice I made to find a reasonable way to vent my anger."

Wait? Reality? So you really went to someone else's wedding with her and grabbed the bouquet that the bride threw? Ishigami noticed something was wrong.

However, the general affairs officer chuckled without moving his skin or flesh. Ishigami, who saw the dark light in his eyes for the first time, couldn't help but tremble and stopped to think: "Don't you think that after I agreed to your bet, I can complain and vent my anger, which is wonderful for me?"

Hehe, today I will bring you the pain I felt back then! Ishigami, you don’t think you can get away with handing over your dark history, right?

I'm not a demon. I heard that some villages in Japan would hold ceremonies in the snow while wearing only their crotchless pants when the New Year comes. For the sake of cultural inheritance, Ishigami, please make a small sacrifice.

Of course, now that I know this, I'm sure there must be a lot of tourists in that place. If you exercise now, you can show off your strong physique~, work harder and be brave enough to show your body, Ishigami!

"Ah!" The weak otaku hugged himself and looked at his friend who did not hide his madness at all. He actually thought of the day when Senior Shinomiya stabbed him with a soft knife. His little resentment could not compete with them, who were monsters in themselves!

After a three-second standoff, the accountant, who knew what to do, bowed his head and said respectfully, "Can we make peace? I have a piece of confidential information that I just deduced, and your Excellency will definitely be curious."

At this point, there is no way to resolve the issue internally. I'm sorry, President! Lend me your life in exchange for a chance of survival!

"Still keeping me in suspense?" Unfortunately, Xing Yuanhui was not around and could not link arms with Ishigami. He leaned back and crossed his legs, carefully paying attention not to kick anything, and said, "Tell me, if it's really valuable, I don't plan to add a special program to the festival in Oma. People in the second grade of junior high school will at least write some poems or songs, right?"

You are not going to read my work out, are you? What a cruel atrocity!

Knowing that he could no longer bargain, Ishigami said decisively: "President, your questions are over, right?"

Just then, the lost data in his mind was rendered and Shirogane returned to the world. He nodded in a half-awake state, "It's over. What happened?"

It’s so nice to be facing the starry sky, clicking stars with the person you love, and even listen to people’s explanations. I’m so envious of Xingyuan.

Thinking that his dream scene was realized by his friend first, Baiyin's heart also ignited a fire of resentment. But before he could pick up the temporary cooperation with the accountant from the ground, the backstab of his ally came so quickly.

"Now it's my turn to ask the president!" After saying this, Ishigami scratched his chest, as if mourning for himself who was no longer pure.

Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. I will repay you in the future!

"President, you have someone you like, right?" Ishigami turned his head and closed his eyes and shouted softly, feeling very reluctant.

As soon as these words came out, Baiyin's expression froze immediately.

What's going on? Aren't we allies? You shouldn't be the one asking this, right?

"What did you say?" Baiyin secretly pinched his thigh to stay calm and asked again.

Ishigami, don't forget that I also have five of your problems. Aren't you afraid that I will leave you with Fengji forever?

The situation was urgent, Shirogane narrowed his eyes and began to chant in his heart - My power as the student council president is unlimited! Do you want to take off the student council uniform? Ishigami!

On the other side of the aisle, Xing Yuanhui was already asking the flight attendant to bring drinks and snacks.

What a picture of brothers being so friendly and respectful to each other! I was so moved that I felt hungry.

"President, do you have someone you like?" Seeing Shirogane getting closer and closer, Ishigami, who had nowhere to hide, could only look directly into the president's eyes and said in a very uncertain manner, "Is it Senior Shinomiya? Because you guys are always secretly doing things in school, just like Xingyuan and Senior Fujiwara! Who knows what else might have happened this summer!"

If only it really happened! Baiyin was terrified, pressing his hand against his face, just like in the famous painting "The Scream".

It's over! If you all knew everything, wouldn't it mean that the fourth palace would be three times more likely to find out about my relationship and laugh at me?

After all, I am good for nothing except my studies! The only thing I can rely on is this mask of "rationality" on my face. If this layer of skin is pulled off, I will be able to twist my body like a maggot in front of Shigong!

The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. The more exaggerated it seemed, Baiyin's heart was shaking violently like a huge wave hitting a breakwater during a typhoon. He didn't dare to admit it at all.

"President, are you okay?" Seeing that Baiyin was about to develop in the direction of abstraction and was about to transform into a puddle of "silver mud" and escape, Xing Yuanhui was afraid that he would not be able to explain to Uncle Baiyin, so he quickly comforted him, "It's okay not to answer, after all, you are really shy."

Your actions have revealed all the answers, so there is no need for you to answer...

“Yes, yes.” Ishigami hurried down the stairs, “President, don’t take it too seriously. Just treat it as nonsense!”

Even though I was nearly killed by Shinomiya-senpai when I asked her... I see, are both of you tsunderes?

"You guys..." Baiyin ended his fantasy of being sold to Siberia by the Shinomiya Group to grow potatoes, and held their hands with emotion.

Maybe I could consider speaking out?

Now that I think about it, I was just panicking too much. If Sigong had such a keen observation ability, she would have known that I liked her a long time ago, right? But now nothing happened, so she was not sure.

If I tell them about this, I will have two advisers to give me advice, and among them will be the help of Xingyuan who is making rapid progress. Maybe I can really get Sigong to confess on his own initiative?

So tempting, and indeed a very good opportunity...

"No need, it's not a big deal, I just bumped my little toe." Baiyin took a deep breath and then said, "How could I possibly like Shinomiya! Ishigami, have you been brainwashed by the news department?"

As expected, I still can't tell you! I don't believe in free lunches. If you two knew about this and tried your best to create opportunities, Sigong would definitely see it!

And Xing Yuanhui, you and Secretary Fujiwara will stir up a storm of chaos in the student council. The worst thing is that the woman is the driver. If nothing goes wrong, I will suffer! Are you going to entrust my life to probability? !

Upon hearing this, the general affairs and accountant opened their mouths wide: You actually betrayed the honor of a duelist and lied! President, you are destroying the worldview of Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 26: Good question, how should I know?

Listening to the faint "clang" sound coming from behind gradually fading away, the three people carrying backpacks and pulling suitcases turned around to look at the station name sign "Hakodate Station" on the wall. One of them was calm, while the other two were worried.

"Yes, that's right, they were actually talking about my friends, not me..." Baiyin, who was still unwilling to face the reality, kept repeating in a whisper with a stiff face, as if this could make everything that happened in the car disappear.

"I can't get married..." Ishigami became even more exaggerated. He moved closer to the wall and pushed the suitcase over. He squatted down and lay on it at the same height as the suitcase, his face pale.

Are the obstacles in life really that hard to overcome? It seems that I am not the protagonist after all, and I don’t have the power that can be inspired in times of crisis.

"...Isn't this your first time in Hokkaido? Can you be cheerful?" Xing Yuanhui pulled the corners of his mouth and said helplessly, "Why don't you go eat something to recover first? If you are in a daze, you might get dizzy on the boat."

Forget about the president. After all, it is hard to accept that a relationship that you thought you had kept well hidden is suddenly revealed. But Ishigami, you have already made up your mind to die, so why are you still pretending?

Isn't it just adding some spice to the second-year poem you composed using a simple music-making app on your phone? It's like smelling canned herrings and you can't just start over.

How can I make a remix for you if you are like this?

"Any recommendations?" Ishigami's face slid over to the suitcase, his pupils dull and lifeless, "I want to eat some sweets, to create a spiritual haven for me to escape."

This move is really cruel, Xingyuan!

Xing Yuanhui, who ignored Ishigami's glimpse, suggested, "There is a dessert shop that my sister often goes to. It is said that the food is delicious and has a wide variety of dishes. It is also on the port side. We can just go around there."

"Then let's go take a look. I've been sitting for so long that I want to walk around." Baiyin basked in the sun for a while, and his face finally had more color. "Although I'd rather have a proper meal now."

As a result of my wild and uneasy imagination in the car, too many bad ends were produced in my brain, resulting in a serious lack of energy supply in the simple lunch box I ate in the car.

"Dinner..." Xing Yuanhui led the way, passing by the taxis waiting for passengers in front of the station and walking outside, saying, "If you eat now, you may not be able to eat tuna sashimi when you get to Oma."

After all, it contains a lot of fat, and you may feel greasy if you eat sashimi after a full meal.

"Sashimi?"

Ishigami and Shirogane exchanged a glance, and the latter hesitated and said, "Wouldn't this be too grand? I remember tuna is very expensive, and it's from Oma..."

I feel like one serving of sashimi would take me a week’s work, so I don’t dare to eat it.

Hearing this, Xing Yuanhui didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's not me who invited you, so how can it be grand? I just suddenly remembered that there is an event in Oma today, called the Blue Ocean Festival? The fishermen will demonstrate how to process tuna in the warehouse at the port, and then they will let the audience taste sashimi on the spot."

"Is that so? I thought you were going to take us out to the sea and kill and eat us right away." Ishigami chopped vertically downwards with a very ferocious behavior.

"If you can finish it, I'd consider it." The general affairs officer looked at him speechlessly, "Unless you really, really like it, tuna is just like that. Don't deify it."

If I catch a big one, the three of us wouldn't be able to finish it, and we wouldn't be able to sell it, which would be bad news.

"After all, it's the big tuna, how can we not be looking forward to it?" Ishigami walked towards Xing Yuanhui, pressed his shoulder, and said affectionately, "I heard that the best part is the big belly. I believe you can use your local connections to let us eat it, right!"

I checked the information, this is the Oma tuna known as the black diamond of the sea! The first auction every year is the source of the highest-priced tuna!

"That depends on who holds the knife. It's OK if it's someone you know." The local waved his hand. "If that doesn't work, just buy one. Low-weight tuna can't be sold at a high price."

For tuna, only the big fat ones weighing hundreds of kilograms have the chance to be sold at a high price. If they are not heavy enough, then it will be just that.

Those uncles on the committee whose bellies may contain more fat than tuna fish will definitely not do business at a loss. After all, for those who have built a big brand in the tuna market, it is better to worry about them drinking so much that they can't see the accounts clearly than to worry about them suffering losses.

……

After coming out of the dessert shop, the three of them seemed to have forgotten the brutal battle not long ago, and walked on the road talking and laughing.

"Since it's an event, there shouldn't be more than just tuna performances, right?" Baiyin said as he checked the information on his phone. "Would you like to introduce it? It seems quite rich?"

There seemed to be singing and dancing performances with local characteristics, and fireworks shows in the evening.

"Good question. How should I know?" Xing Yuanhui said with a resolute face, "I only know that after the Ocean Festival, there is a regular festival at the Kasuga Shrine where a great shaman dance is held. The main reason I came back was to help."

Although this is not what I need help with, the map of the fishing grounds needs to be updated. After all, the dean's main job is still a teacher. He has been working on it for half a month and has not been able to get it done. Now that school is about to start, he has even less time to go out to sea to adjust the map.

In order for the welfare home and I to have a large and justifiable source of income, the fishing business must not be discontinued. Otherwise, how can we explain the good food and drink in the welfare home?

I don't want to be famous. If those business geniuses on the Oma Committee knew about my "great achievements", they would never let me go. They would definitely buy newspaper headlines and run advertisements on TV for a week, intending to squeeze out my value and bring traffic to Oma!

"...Aren't you a local?" Ishigami said with a strange expression, "And you clearly said you were coming back to help?"

How could Omazaki be so young, how could he not know something? When I was a kid, I fell into a ditch and was covered in mud. The whole village knew about it in the afternoon. You must be a fake local.

"That's not what I'm trying to help you with." To divert the question, Xing Yuanhui said provocatively, "I want to ask you, as a native of Tokyo, can you tell me at least three well-known fireworks displays?"

If you don’t like going out, you must be as ignorant about these things as I am!
