Daily life in Zongman

Page 102

Full speed! His speed value on the panel had already exceeded the human limit by 10 points, and his speed had already exceeded ten meters per second. From the alley entrance to the front of them, the distance was only seven or eight meters.

In less than a second, he suddenly jumped up, kicked out with a flying kick, and accelerated, kicking the two people who were holding Kitagawa Kaimeng hostage away.

Blood splattered in the air, and the open parasol blocked out the dirt.

Fujiwara Haru placed the parasol in Kitagawa Umi's hand: "Hold it in front of you."

Kitagawa Umi obediently held the parasol in front of her. Ten seconds later, she heard Fujiwara Haru's voice again, accompanied by wailing and the sound of blood spilling on the umbrella.

"Okay."

She lifted her parasol from her eyes and saw the Minister standing on the ground. At his feet lay the villain, struggling helplessly. Behind him, beneath the pitch-black night, was a pure white crescent moon. He swung his bamboo sword to the ground, and a trickle of blood flowed down the blade's tip, drawing a blood-red crescent moon on the ground.

The young man stood between two crescent moons, full of elegance and violent beauty.

Kitagawa Umi was a little hesitant. She asked softly: "Um... Minister, they are not dead, right?"

Fujiwara Haru looked back at her and said, "I was very measured in my attack. It only caused a little bleeding. I want them to remember this lesson."

Kitagawa Umi bowed her head and apologized: "I'm sorry, Minister, I misunderstood you."

"It's ok."

Fujiwara Haru put away his bamboo sword, took out his phone, and called the police. He then sent a message to Shen Dong, telling her he would be back later.

It's no longer petty theft, but attempted kidnapping. Even if the person is a minor, it's enough to get them into trouble.

The two men came to the alley entrance and waited for the police. The ten people on the ground could not get up and escape for a while.

"Thank you, Minister."

"Well, it's okay."

Kitagawa Umi, the always lively and cheerful hot girl, said nothing more after thanking him.

Her heart was beating wildly and she had lost her usual composure.

Afraid? Horrified?

Both, but not towards Fujiwara Haru, but towards what happened just now.

If the minister had arrived a little later, her clothes might have been torn off. Kitagawa Umi knew very well what would happen after being tied up in the alley.

She likes to play humiliation games, but she doesn't want to be humiliated by someone she doesn't like!

She just likes loving gameplay and doesn't like bad experiences at all.

If this really happened, she would definitely call the police tomorrow and that group of people would be arrested, but what was done to her could never be erased.

She was very lucky, very lucky, the minister was there secretly to send her home and rescue her as soon as the accident happened.

Kitagawa Umi, thank you very much Fujiwara Haru.

She knew that those people were seeking revenge, but the minister could not be blamed for this. It was those people who did the bad thing, and it was their ugliness that made them do this, not the minister.

"Minister, you're not going to be in trouble, are you? You hit me so hard."

Kitagawa Umi was a little worried.

"No, it's just excessive self-defense at most. I should be able to go home and sleep tonight."

She breathed a sigh of relief and slowly regained some strength: "The Minister is so concerned about going home to sleep. Is he so particular about his bed?"

"No, there's someone waiting for me at home."

His breathing was slightly stagnant, and then he recovered: "Oh, Glass, right?"

"No, Sister Shendong is waiting for me to go home and sleep."

"Hey~ I'm a little curious about the Deep Winter Sister that the Minister mentioned. I occasionally hear her name."

The two chatted in the alley until the police arrived, took a statement together, and then left the police station late at night.

Fujiwara Haru got on the motorcycle and looked at Kitagawa Umi: "Let me take you home."

"Thank you, Minister~"

Kitagawa Umi sat in the back seat, put her arms around the minister's waist, and then leaned against him.

"Oh! Let's go!"

She cheered, fully returning to her cheerful hottie attitude.

Fujiwara Haru wondered if this was a bit too intimate, but it was also dangerous to ride in a car without doing so. He felt the softness on his back, thought for a moment, and then started the motorcycle without saying anything.

Behind him, where he couldn't see, Kitagawa Umi was facing the evening breeze with a slight blush on her face.

The broad back made her feel at ease, and the muscles on the fingertips were surprisingly strong.

The minister looks more and more handsome, with solid muscles and extraordinary strength. Not only is he a good person, but his hobbies are the same as hers.

It was a little bad, she felt a little moved.

Chapter 170 Daily Chat 2.

Editor Machida: "Xiao Shi, this third volume is fantastic. Whether it's Naoto's growth or the usually gentle Sayuka slowly revealing her dark side, it feels like these two characters have come alive."

Editor Machida: "As expected, Shi-chan never disappoints with her work. I wish she wouldn't disappoint with her deadlines either."

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Really? The manuscript for the third volume was given on July 7th."

Editor Machida: "It would be better if this date hadn't been changed twice."

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Is there anything else? We don't need to continue chatting."

Editor Machida: "Ah, wait, wait a minute! There's one more thing I need to confirm. That is, Xiaoshi, you should have drafted the fourth volume, right?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Didn't we just get the third volume?"

Editor Machida: "It's not 'just been given', it's already been half a month. It's summer vacation now, and if Shi doesn't take advantage of this free time to work on the fourth volume, she'll be staying up late again when school starts, which is bad for her health."

Kasumigaoka Shiyu's legs trembled. "If your concern wasn't about urging me to submit my manuscript, I'd be happier. Also, don't keep calling me Xiaoshi."

Editor Machida: "But the poem is very nice. Well, it may be a bit unkind of me to say this, but for Kasumi Shiko-sensei, this sentence is still very necessary."

Editor Machida: "Though you're having fun this summer, you should also plan for volume four. By the time volume three comes out on August 10th, you'll be the incredibly popular author Kasumi Shiko, with over a million sales. It's essential to release a follow-up volume four while the popularity of 'Love Metronome' is still high."

Kasumigaoka Utaha's legs trembled rapidly: "Is there anything else?"

Editor Machida: "Oh, yes, I heard Xiaoshi talk about a junior named Fujiwara before, and I'm a little curious."

Kasumigaoka Utaha hung up the phone. She still had trouble dealing with this editor, whether it was the inherent pressure of her position or the extra experience brought by her age, it was difficult for her to cope.

Forget it, I don’t want to think about Editor Machida anymore. Kasumigaoka Utaha shook her head and prepared to continue what she was doing.

Teacher Kasumi Shiko is not writing now. She is in the school activity room, preparing her own Cosplay costume.

She wasn't actually good at sewing, but that stupid minister hadn't set any special club rules, and she didn't require them to make their own Cosplay costumes by hand.

She bought a finished Cosplay costume and just had to make some minor modifications herself. She was capable of doing this kind of modification.

To be honest, she didn't have much intention to go Cosplay at the beginning. Compared to going to crowded places like comic conventions, she would rather buy some light novels to read slowly at home, or continue to write her own light novels.

Utaha Kasumigaoka is the kind of otaku who doesn't socialize much.

After joining the club with a feeling of gratitude at first, she decided that it would be okay to give Cosplay a try.

Gradually, under the high-density 2D atmosphere of the club and the daily discussions on what is suitable to Cosplay, I gradually developed an interest and initiative in Cosplay.

Before today, she was just looking forward to the Summer CM Show on August 17th.

The sewing machine creaked, and as the sound faded, the modified garment left the machine. It was a rather ornate pink outfit, a top and skirt, with lace trims on the cuffs and hem. It felt light and airy, yet also quite formal. It was a cute outfit she rarely wore before.

As for whether she likes this dress or not, of course she does. What girl can resist something cute? But she has always felt that it doesn't suit her temperament, so she rarely wears pink clothes.

Now is a good time to try it out under the guise of Cosplay.

Utaha Kasumigaoka recalled that two months ago, she had no idea what character she wanted to cosplay, and when she was chatting with her junior, they discussed what character to play.

"Wearing a wig makes it stuffy, and dyeing your hair will damage it. It would be best if I had a role that suited Kasumigaoka-senpai's black hair..."

The junior student pondered for a while and asked, "Senior Kasumigaoka should know about the Touhou Project, right?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded. As a veteran otaku, she was very familiar with the Touhou Project.

"So, Kasumigaoka-senpai, would you like to try cosplaying as Kaguya Horaisan? That secondary character has a setting where she's Neet-hime with black hair and red eyes, and her hair and eye color perfectly matches yours."

(in a gentle tone) "But her original design has black hair and black eyes, right? Wouldn't it be better if she bought black cosmetic contact lenses?"

"Damn, the secondary design is a must-have for Touhou. It's not that black hair and red eyes don't have that flavor! And Neet-hime's design is somewhat similar to the senior's otaku personality. So it seems that the senior's cosplay of Horaisan Kaguya is simply perfect."

(Gentle tone) "Then Senior Sister, please try to cosplay as Kaguya Houraisan. Junior Brother, you can look forward to it~"

After the recollection ended, Kasumigaoka Utaha carefully looked at the clothes in her hands. After confirming that no further modifications were needed, she decided to wait until two days before the CM exhibition to have her hair styled into a princess style.

That’s when you can do a perfect cosplay.

I wonder if Fujiwara-kun will be surprised when he sees her new look.

Kasumigaoka Utaha is now full of anticipation for the summer CM exhibition in half a month!

——Classmates’ daily chat at the end of June⑧——

In late spring, the cicadas begin to chirp.

A normal school day, in the club activity room.

"The Totoro on Kato's backpack is so cute."

"Yeah, well, My Neighbor Totoro is really pretty. When I walked out of the cinema, I saw some merchandise and couldn't help but buy one."

"Yeah, that simple, warm feeling I got after watching it was really great. Oh, it feels so good to share good work and have others like it. It makes me feel happier."

"Oh, I see. So, Fujiwara-kun is going to share his next great work next? I'm really looking forward to it."

"I would be happier if your tone of voice could be more up-and-down, Kato. This calm tone sounds so perfunctory."

"Ah~ Is Fujiwara-kun going to share his next great work~ I'm really looking forward to it~"

"It's right."

Nodding with satisfaction: "Kato wants to know what the next good work to share is, right? But, I refuse! Don't think that I will share it every time!"

"JoJo meme, so the next anime Fujiwara-kun would like to recommend is "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure"."

Fujiwara Haru wondered if he had ever recommended JOJO to someone else before. The person sitting behind him, who hadn't understood anime a month ago, now recognized the meme and could even pinpoint the anime he was referring to.

Are you also learning relevant knowledge when you go home?

She's trying hard to fit in, which touched Fujiwara Haru a little: "Kato actually knows this meme, but I really didn't share it this time, nor did I mean to share JOJO. I think Kato would prefer more ordinary and everyday works. There are relatively few girls who like JOJO. I thought you might not like it, so I didn't want to recommend it."

"You have to try this kind of thing. You can't not try it because of prejudice. You have to try it once to see whether you like it or not."

"Kato..."

"Ah."

"That's great~"

"..."

The person at the back table did not respond.

——July classmate chats about daily life ⑨——

In the classroom, during break.

"Kato changed back to his bob haircut today."

"Fujiwara-kun always notices little changes."

"How should I put it? Because you have good eyesight? After all, you're a kendo genius, right? Finding differences is pretty easy for you."

"You're not shy about bragging."
