"...Calculate."

"That's what Mingze Feng said."

Chapter 26: The Shura Field Arrives Even More Fiercely, or Perhaps Calm

Naruzawa Kaede sat in Shimizu Eliza's car, teasing Kaoru Nai with candy.

It was only then that he understood why time management was so much more difficult in London than in Tokyo.

In Tokyo, girls either go to school or join bands. Dating, holding hands, and going to hotels aren't things they do every day.

Because Mingze Feng was constantly on the go and had many things to do, the Shura Field was actually smaller.

In London... aside from others, Yamada Ryo came to travel with Narusawa Kaede, while Toyokawa Shoko came to see what had happened to Narusawa Kaede.

A stubborn mind leads to a blockage in both ends.

As he went in and out of the room, he bumped into two girls. They probably didn't know each other yet, but as they chatted, they discovered that the other girl had a close relationship with Mingze Feng...

Even worse, some, like Toyokawa Shoko and Yamada Ryo, still harbored grievances.

While Mingze Feng was lost in thought, he asked Le Nai to stare at the candy he was holding between two fingers. Taking advantage of Mingze Feng's inattention, she propped herself up, opened her mouth, and sucked the candy into her mouth.

Along with the girl's soft, moist lips, Mingze Feng's fingertips also slid in. When the slippery tongue touched them, Mingze Feng was so startled that he quickly withdrew his fingers.

Rakuna tilted her head back and pouted because of Naruzawa Kaede's actions.

Seeing the drool at the corner of Kaname's mouth, Naruzawa Kaede pulled out two tissues. Kaname didn't raise her hand; instead, she tilted her head back and gently closed her eyes.

Her slightly pouting lips were still glistening with saliva. Those clear droplets on her rosy cheeks probably meant she wanted Mingze Feng to wipe them away.

Absolutely.

Meeting Kaoru Yoru's pure gaze, Naruzawa Kaede guiltily looked away.

The only person who's thinking the wrong thing here is himself.

She looks so young, what's wrong with her? It's not that I'm worried about her age, it's just that from the feeling, even though Rakuna is only a year younger than Toyokawa Shoko, the difference between the two is like that between an infant and a female college student.

Eliza Shimizu glanced at the hand that was resting on Kaname Rakuna's lips in the rearview mirror and clicked her tongue. This must be in her car.

"Alright, Feng, stop taking advantage of Renai... If you keep doing this, I'm going to report you to Boss Tsuzuki."

"Then I'll die." Mingze Feng released his grip. "Spare me, I can't just leave Lena on the roadside, can I?"

Eliza Shimizu craned her neck to look at the side of the car, and casually remarked, "Hehe, classic 'I only see her as a little sister'! I've seen that line in a visual novel."

"When did I say such a thing?"

Yoro suddenly spoke up, saying, "Kaede is helping."

Eliza Shimizu paused for a moment, then shook her head.

As she backed the car into the parking space, Eliza Shimizu casually remarked, "We'll eat him alive and then help him count the money."

Still too young.

Eliza Shimizu laughed and said, "If you keep going like this, he'll sell you out sooner or later."

Lena shook her head, "...Count, no."

Naruzawa Kaede changed the subject and asked, "I remember that Lena did quite well on her exams."

"Hmm..." Yao Lena nodded, patting the Russian guitar case beside her. "If I don't do well on the test, I won't be allowed to play the guitar. That's what Grandma said."

That's right, whenever I saw Kaname, she was always glued to her piano.

Mingze Feng: "Did you carry it with you the whole time you came out?"

When Yue Nai tilted her head, Ming Zefeng pointed to the guitar, and she opened her mouth slightly, suddenly realizing what he meant.

You need to place Lenai's hand on the guitar bag, where there are gray stains on the side from carrying it around.

"Yes. Before coming, I exchanged my guitar with Grandma."

"..."

Just as Mingze Feng was about to tell Le Nai to get out of the car, both of their phones rang one after the other.

It was Xiangzi calling Mingze Feng. He simply asked where he had gone.

Just now, Toyokawa Shoko and Yamada Ryo had reached an agreement to look for Narusawa Kaede together first. But as soon as they went out, they couldn't find Narusawa Kaede. Yamada Ryo calmly recounted the time when she and Narusawa Kaede were taking a walk on the street and Narusawa Kaede slipped away on his own.

Toyokawa Shoko said that there was no problem with the two of them going on a date.

Naruzawa Kaede glanced at Shimizu Eliza and Kaname Rakuna beside him.

I asked over the phone if four people would be okay.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment.

Mingze Feng was a little uneasy, mainly because Xiangzi seemed to be a tough nut to crack, and Mingze Feng was afraid that she would just say "You're too kind of yourself."

The call wasn't disconnected.

As it turns out, Xiangzi was still too good-natured.

More than a minute later, Xiangzi's voice rang out again, saying that they had met Mana and Hatsuka, and that Junda Mana was comforting the dejected Mitsumi Hatsuka.

"..."

After thinking about the reason for Misaka's dejected state, Naruzawa wisely remained silent.

Toyokawa Shoko said, "Since Narusawa Kaede wants to add more people, let's all go on a team building trip together."

Mingze Feng did some quick calculations.

Eliza Shimizu, Rakuna Kaname, Shoko Toyokawa, Ryo Yamada, Mana Junda, Hatsuka Mikami...

Are you going to recite the menu?

A layer of cold sweat seeped out from Mingze Feng's head.

......

In reality, it wasn't as difficult as Naruzawa Kaede had imagined, but of course, there wasn't much to be happy about either.

If it's a couple, it will be a lovey-dovey date. If it's two people, they'll be all lovey-dovey in a corner of someone else's sight, and then they'll end up in a love triangle.

If there are three people, then Mingze Feng will undoubtedly become the center of attention, and no matter who he makes eye contact with, he will become the target of everyone's attacks because of the other two.

But what if there are six people?

That makes it a small tour group.

Before they could act together, they had to go through a small disagreement. Shoko and Junta Mana both wanted to talk to Narusawa Kaede alone, while Yamada Ryo didn't want Shoko and Narusawa Kaede to talk alone.

So a few more people had free time to themselves. Junda Mana and Mikami Hatsuka walked hand in hand, while Shimizu Eliza led Kaname Rakuna.

Toyokawa Shoko said something to Yamada Ryo.

Yamada Ryo said he would go to the haunted house with her later. Then he turned around and mingled with Shimizu Eliza, seemingly going to ride the pirate ship.

From a distance, it looks like a mother with two children. It's just that the gold, blue, and gray hair colors don't quite match.

Junta Mana looked at Narusawa Kaede as if she wanted to say something, but then she glanced at Toyokawa Shoko and hesitated.

Toyokawa Shoko raised an eyebrow, her hand still gripping Narusawa Kaede's arm, and lowered her voice.

"You'll handle your new romantic entanglements yourself."

Naruzawa Kaede blinked and looked at Shoko, completely baffled as to why she would assume that she and Mana had a relationship.

But Xiangzi said so.

“Ms. Mana, look over there.” Narusawa Kaede pointed to Misaka Hatsuka, who was the person with whom the abnormal relationship might exist.

"Your friend needs you."

"I...I know."

Junda Mana turned around and looked at Misaki Hatsuka's heartbroken expression.

You're still not giving up even after being rejected, Uika...

What can I do to save you?

......

As you walk along the winding road, you'll see several families relaxing on picnic blankets set up in the woods and on the lawns on either side.

It was surprisingly warm in the afternoon. Mingze Feng brought out an ice cream; British desserts are very generous with sugar, making them a bit too sweet. Having already tried one, Mingze Feng only gave Xiangzi one.

I also found a fan.

But after sitting down, I realized that looking for a fan was futile, because the breeze under the shade of the tree was very cool.

The skirt that Toyokawa Shoko was wearing...

Naruzawa Kaede placed his coat on the chair. After Toyokawa Shoko sat down, her increasingly unpleasant expression softened somewhat.

But there are some things I still need to say.

Toyokawa Shoko's hand pressed down on it.

He gently stroked the back of Mingze Feng's hand, which was resting on the chair.

Mingze Feng only felt a slight itch on the back of his hand.

The afternoon sun slanted gently, dappling the leaves of the trees opposite and scattering bright, orange-yellow stars. A family of three sat playing on the lawn, creating a lively scene.

Leisurely and relaxed.

Even though they were in London, Mingze Feng sensed an atmosphere similar to Winchester.

This is a kind of enjoyment that comes from slowing down.

Mingze Feng took a deep breath.

If you had to describe his feelings at that moment, besides "Holy crap!", the only other word would be "Absolutely awesome".

The clouds in the sky rolled and combed intermittently. Xiangzi sat beside him, his shoulder almost touching hers. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see strands of hair falling down the side of the girl's face. Mingze Feng raised his hand and picked them up, his mind still somewhat blank.

Toyokawa Shoko puffed out half of her face, bit her lip, and her eyes shone brightly in the sunlight.

"You're distracted even when you're with me... Do you really like that idol that much?"

"what?"

"You weren't thinking about that idol just now?"

Naruzawa Kaede subconsciously thought she was referring to Mitsumi Hatsuka, but upon closer inspection, she realized that Toyokawa Shoko was thinking of Junda Mana.

"Why did you say I had a relationship with Junda Mana? You guessed wrong this time."

Shoko Toyokawa hesitated for a moment. She asked, "Mana Junda said she wanted to pursue you... couldn't you sense that?"

"Or are you simply unwilling to tell me these things?"

Looking at the clouds in the sky, Mingze Feng said, "It really has nothing to do with her, how can you believe me..."

“Yes, I believe you.” Toyokawa Shoko placed her other hand on Narusawa Kaede’s hand as well. “I won’t stop you, you know me, Kaede.”

The way Toyokawa Shoko nodded seemed more like a perfunctory gesture or a gesture of comfort than one of belief.

"..."

Naruzawa Kaede was stunned and speechless. Perhaps because of his own bad reputation, Toyokawa Shoko simply didn't believe it.

He wanted to argue and prove himself, but when he thought of Eliza Shimizu, Naruzawa Kaede sighed. He'd started out playing with pure love, but now it'd turned into playing with purely platonic relationships. He didn't know how to explain it to Shoko.

"So can you tell me now?"

Toyokawa Shoko looked up into Narusawa Kaede's eyes. Only then did she realize that Narusawa Kaede seemed to have grown a little taller, making it more difficult for her to look up.

Ming Zefeng moved closer to her, meeting her bright golden eyes.

Then, Mingze Feng pointed to the clouds in the sky and said that the clouds he had just seen had moved quite a distance, about this long... As he spoke, Mingze Feng gestured with his hand to show two centimeters, which is actually a very short distance between his thumb and forefinger.

"If I had to put it into words, these are the things I've been thinking about."

Naruzawa Kaede said, "That's all."

Seeing Naruzawa Kaede playfully pressing his face against hers, and remembering the potentially terrible reaction she might have if she were locked up, Toyokawa Shoko thought this wouldn't do. She didn't move, and seeing that Naruzawa Kaede didn't suddenly hug her, but instead looked at her intently, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“What do you mean?” Toyokawa Shoko frowned. “You mean you’re like a cloud…”
