I play wind instruments in Kansai.

"I'll send some games to your Steam account."

As you walk through the Sakura Gate, you'll see Osaka Castle standing before you. Its white walls are almost blindingly bright in the sunlight, and they're not pure white, but rather a warm, off-white.

The golden owl tail at the very top glittered against the blue sky.

"What a pity..." Kohinata Hina said softly.

"what?"

"that."

She pointed to the "Regret Stone" next to her, a stone that was once selected for the Osaka Wall but was ultimately not used. It has a simplified pattern on it, which is the family crest left by the feudal lords who presented the stone.

"It looks no different from a regular stone," said Hina Kohinata, resting her chin on her hand. "Isn't it just an ordinary stone?"

If you throw this stone into a pile of stones outside, you won't feel any difference.

An Hechun patted her on the shoulder and said:

"Some items are valued for being displayed because they are imbued with meaning related to time, people, etc."

Gongling Wang said:

"This stone is just like the clothes that Hinata is wearing now. They are very ordinary, but if you take it out fifty years from now, or even after you die, your descendants will treasure it and say that it is my grandmother's or great-grandmother's clothes."

An Hechun echoed with a smile:

"They may also be cremated."

"You did this on purpose, didn't you?" Kohinata Hina glared at him.

Gong Lingwang just smiled.

Hitomi Shiraishi stood beside him the whole time, her body occasionally brushing against his arm.

Although the Regret Stone is just an ordinary stone, it attracts a large number of people who come to take photos as souvenirs.

Miyamine Nozomi and Shiraishi Hitomi also took a picture. The sunlight shone down from above, outlining her silhouette as a bright silhouette, with her hair fluttering in the wind.

However, the two were not particularly close, and their relationship was no different from that of ordinary friends.

Leaving the Zannenshi (a rock formation reminiscent of the past), head up the stairs of Osaka Castle. The stairs are a few centimeters shorter than ordinary steps, making it quite strenuous to climb.

"I hate steps like these the most," Kohinata Hina said through gritted teeth.

One step is too small, two steps are too big, getting stuck in the middle is incredibly uncomfortable.

An Hechun explained:

"Because the armor used to be heavy, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was not tall, I heard he was only about 1.5 meters tall."

Miyamune feigned surprise and said, "Isn't this similar to Kohinata-kun?"

"What do you mean?" she asked, casting a somewhat disgruntled glance at him.

"You only noticed that I mentioned height, but you didn't notice the magnificent achievements that someone of that height could accomplish?"

What magnificent feats can I accomplish?

"For example, winning gold at the national championships."

"Does this have anything to do with height?"

Kohinata Hina was furious. There were many people in the club who were about the same height as her, including Amamiya Sumire.

But she swore that Miyamine Nozomi would never dare to say such a thing to Amamiya Sumire.

An entrance ticket is required to enter Osaka Castle.

Gong Lingwang initially paid for the tickets, which was only a little over two thousand yuan. He figured he might as well just cover the cost and not have them pay.

However, Anwa Jun and Kohinata Hina insisted on splitting the bill.

An and Jun handed the banknotes mixed with coins to Miyamine Nozomi:

"In my eyes, only close friends split the bill when going out. Those who pay for everything are not actually very close to me, and I never go with them."

Gong Lingwang took the money and put it in his bag, glancing at the younger child next to him as he said:

"So that's how good my relationship with Kohinata is."

"Hehehe." Kohinata Hina didn't answer, but just smiled with a twitch at the corner of her mouth.

The air conditioning inside was very strong; as soon as you walked in, the pores on your skin tightened instantly.

There are staff members at the entrance.

"There's an elevator?" Kohinata Hina exclaimed in surprise, already prepared to climb the stairs.

The surrounding travelers glanced at her subconsciously, but Miyamine rarely heard Kansai dialect. There were few locals, and no one mocked her for being a country bumpkin.

As you take the elevator to the fifth floor, the moment the doors open, the light changes from the cool white inside the elevator to a warm yellow.

The entire floor has been transformed into an exhibition hall, with display cases filled with various artifacts related to Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Osaka Castle.

Kohinata Hina was drawn to an entire wall directly in front of her, a huge gold-leaf screen depicting the entire view of Osaka Castle at its peak.

The city is majestic, with towering buildings and a moat surrounding it. The streets are bustling with pedestrians, and the dense rooftops stretch all the way to the edge of the picture.

Even Miyamine Nozomi couldn't help but marvel at what she saw. Just as she was about to take out her phone to take a picture, she realized that Shiraishi Hitomi was not by her side.

He quickly glanced around and happened to see her figure not far away. Their eyes met for a moment before she walked further in.

Gong Lingwang hurriedly followed. He was the one who brought Bai Shitong out. She looked so easy to bully. If she were really bullied, he would be doomed.

There were many tourists on the floor, and Miyamine Nozomi kept muttering, "Excuse me, please make way."

They followed, only to find that Hitomi Shiraishi had disappeared.

"What about people?"

Just as Gong Lingwang was feeling anxious, someone tugged at the corner of his clothes.

Turning her head, she saw it was Hitomi Shiraishi, who was staring at her without changing her expression.

"Don't wander around, there are a lot of people here."

"Hmm...do we really have to come together?"

Shiraishi Hitomi raised her right hand to her chest, curling it up, and said in a groaning voice,

"I want to be alone with you, is that not allowed?"

"......"

Gong Lingwang's expression was complicated. It seemed that she had deliberately walked away, deliberately let him see her, and deliberately waited for him here.

In Hitomi Shiraishi's mind, Anwa-senpai and Kohinata Hina were completely superfluous people.

“Okay,” Gong Lingwang said, feigning calmness.

[Points restored to 5 points]

Things unfolded far beyond Miyamine Nozomi's imagination; they were simpler than he could have imagined.

He had assumed these requests would be inappropriate for children, such as "kissing" or "touching," but they were actually quite ordinary, even mundane.

Had I imagined Shiraishi Hitomi to be too evil? Miyamine Nozomi pondered in her heart.

She was an extremely innocent girl. When she sat on his lap in the carriage, she probably just thought it was nice to sit for a while and didn't intend to arouse his desire.

The two walked side by side, and Shiraishi Hitomi gently and tentatively hooked her little finger with Miyamine Nozomi's.

He hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took her hand. It felt cool and soft to the touch.

Hitomi Shiraishi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and his five fingers were neatly nestled between his fingers, occasionally giving a gentle squeeze, as if checking the feel.

Now, Gong Lingwang doesn't know why he's standing in front of a display case with such a cute girl, looking at a suit of armor that a grown man has worn.

This is just as absurd and completely nonsensical as watching his treasure videos with Liu Mujie.

Looking at the breastplate adorned with gold thread before him, Gong Lingwang asked, somewhat confused:

Is it pretty?

Shiraishi Hitomi hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.

"Too."

"However, this is fine."

At the same time, she gently squeezed it again.

Hitomi Shiraishi's breathing was very light, her chest barely rose and fell, and her face showed complete tranquility.

Looking at her profile, Gong Lingwang's heart suddenly trembled. He didn't know if it was the system's doing or his own thought.

What Shiraishi Hitomi meant was that no matter where she was or what she was looking at, as long as she could be with him, that was enough.

Now that things have come to this, Miyamine Nozomi finally understands why Kirishima Ruka has taken so long to finally get Shiraishi Hitomi to focus on her.

Having a sweet, submissive girl by your side, who follows your every command, is such a powerful temptation.

Not to mention, she is also a cute and well-behaved girl, and men have almost no resistance to her.

Miyamine Nozomi admitted that he had been momentarily captivated by Shiraishi Hitomi's sweetness and completely enthralled by it.

This sense of contentment and ease was rarely found in Willow Wood Lamp, because she was too opinionated.

Just then, my phone suddenly received a message.

Miyamine thought it was from Anwa-senpai, but what she thought came true was that it was from Yanagi Yuto.

Have you reached the Seto Inland Sea yet?

"..."

Indeed, according to that time, he should have already gotten off the bus and arrived at his grandmother's house.

"Just arrived."

"Is it hot?"

"It's so hot. I'll go back to my room later, take off my clothes, and then think about you."

"nerve"

"Are you at school?"

"Yes, Toda-senpai cooked a bento box, and I was with her."

"envious"

"That's all for now, I'll finish eating and continue practicing."

"Okay, I'll think of you every three minutes."

Gongling Wang replied to Liumu Jiedeng's message; it was good that she was busy now.

The guilt, akin to "cheating," led Miyamine Nozomi to repeatedly confide gentle, slovenly words to Yanagi Yuuto.

But seeing the girl beside him only made him more uneasy.

"Who?" Shiraishi Hitomi suddenly asked.

"Liu Mu," Gong Lingwang told him truthfully.

Shiraishi Hitomi nodded, and Miyamine Nozomi felt her hand being gripped even tighter; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was burning hot.

He had always wanted Shiraishi Hitomi to give up on him, but he didn't take a hard line because of system limitations and because he couldn't bear to see her in too much despair.

At that moment, several passengers suddenly raised their phones and secretly took a picture of Gong Lingwang.

What are you doing!

"I think I've been spotted! Run!"

The two girls hurriedly ran away, fearing they would be caught.

Even though we don't know each other, what if we're discovered online...?

Even if they manage to catch one, they won't be able to catch the others. Experienced voyeurs are very discreet, and these two girls are practically novices.

Never mind, because there are plenty of excuses.

While he was lost in thought, Shiraishi Hitomi took his hand and led him downstairs.

The exhibition area is full of information about the construction techniques of the city walls, showing how massive stones weighing tens or hundreds of tons were moved, what kind of wooden rails and logs were used, and how much manpower and oxen and horses were mobilized.
