Chapter 38

This is a slightly difficult and awkward question.

As for Inumaki Tsuchiya himself, he was naturally very happy that Saki was willing to come to school to find him, but...

Due to the special nature of the Jujutsu High School, ordinary people may not be allowed to enter the school.

After all, it is not a real religious school.

So Goujuanji fell silent for a rare time, pursed his lips, and his expression revealed an embarrassment and hesitation.

Saki tilted her head. "Ah, is there any difficulty?"

Inujuan Ji nodded hesitantly.

Saki didn't think much of it, but just sighed, "Religious schools are really troublesome..."

Inumaki Ji, who concealed some facts and whose real identity was a sorcerer, felt a little guilty.

“…Salmon.”

Saki: "Then can you still leave the school normally during holidays?"

Dog Roll: "Salmon, salmon."

Saki thought about it and felt that her question seemed a bit stupid.

After all, Goujuanji is able to go out during normal school hours, so there is no reason why he cannot go out during the summer vacation.

So she nodded with confidence, "That's fine."

Saki smiled and said, "If you have time during summer vacation, please come and see me."

Inujuanji's eyes widened slightly, and he nodded immediately: "Salmon!"

Then the two continued walking forward hand in hand.

I don’t know if it’s because I had popsicles today, but it’s surprisingly not that hot.

Even though we held hands for such a long time, there was no sticky or uncomfortable feeling of sweat.

The two came to the bridge full of lights again.

The wind was a little chilly at this time, and Saki couldn't help but squint her eyes comfortably.

“It feels so comfortable, like summer.”

Dog Curl: "Salmon."

Saki looked at the lamp and suddenly remembered something.

"If I say I haven't decided where to go for a date this weekend..."

Goujuanji: "Wooden fish flower."

Saki: "Does it mean 'it's okay'?"

Inujuan Ji nodded affirmatively.

Saki couldn't help but smile, "Okay, then I'll feel much more at ease."

Gojuanji blinked and typed on his phone: [It doesn't matter where we go.]

Just a date.

His earlobes were red, but he didn't back down and typed the rest of the words.

[…As long as I’m with you.]

He lowered his eyes slightly, and some of the light from the bridge lights was reflected in his eyes.

Saki's eyes widened slightly, and her ears also turned red due to infection.

She couldn't help but cover her face, "Oh, that's terrible."

Gojuanji:?

Saki: "Damn it, it looks like I lost!"

Goujuanji: "Wooden fish flower."

Saki: "No, no, I have to fight back!"

Inumaki Satoru blinked and said nothing more, waiting for Saki's action.

An idea struck Saki. She rubbed her chin. "By the way, Tsuchiya, have you ever... uh, hugged anyone?"

Inujuanji opened his eyes wide in surprise.

Guessing what Saki meant, Inumaki swallowed nervously, but still answered her question in time: "Boyuhana."

Of course not.

Of course, being held in the arms of parents during infancy is a special case.

Ever since Inumaki Ji could remember, he had never hugged anyone...let alone a hug from his girlfriend.

Thinking of this, he became so nervous that he became stiff and didn't even dare to look at Saki.

Saki smiled and said, "After all, we are a couple. Can we try hugging after holding hands?"

She added, mumbling, "Although hugging in the summer is a bit torturous. But it doesn't matter! And it's not that hot today."

Saki looked at Inumaki Satoru.

She found herself a little bit mean, and she was particularly happy whenever Inujuanji became shy because of such things.

"So, you want to come?"

Inujuanji spoke without hesitation: "Salmon!"

Saki couldn't help but laugh out loud.

She turned to face Inumaki and stretched out her arms naturally: "Come on!"

Goujuanji swallowed and stared at her with his purple eyes.

Slowly, his nervousness gradually dissipated. Although the blush on his ears was still very strong, the nervous and shy emotions in his eyes had calmed down, and his eyes seemed to slowly "calm down".

Just like the last time he'd held her wrist.

Saki felt that Inumaki seemed to have changed a little, but she couldn't tell what it was. Was it his aura? Or the atmosphere?

Just as Saki was daydreaming, Inumaki Ji came over.

His movements were a little stiff and slow, but each step was taken steadily, and he had no intention of regretting or deserting.

The other person's arm, which looked thin but actually had strong muscles, passed under her arm and then slowly grabbed her waist.

The two of them were so close that Saki could smell his scent.

It smells like some kind of fragrant laundry detergent.

Smells good.

Saki subconsciously swallowed nervously.

Because the height difference is not that big, they look very compatible when hugging.

The hand on the waist settled, the embrace also settled, the gap between them disappeared, and only the bodies in thin coats were pressed together.

...It's so hot. So hot.

Even though there were two layers of clothes between us, it was hotter than holding hands.

It feels like being hugged by a large hot pack.

Saki blinked nervously.

The heat spread between the two of them, and it was so hot that they couldn't hug each other anymore.

But no one chose to retreat.

Plop, plop.

Saki: "...Um, it's not my heartbeat."

Inujuan Ji pursed his dry lips and whispered, "Salmon."

It's his.

Inumaki Satoru's heartbeat was so loud that at this distance between them, Saki felt like it was ringing in her ears.

"Um, um! If the heartbeat is so fast and heavy, will there be any problems, such as arrhythmia?"

She doesn't know either, she's just talking nonsense.

Inugumaki Ji: "...Mu, Muyuhua."

Saki: “Oh, oh.”

So the two of them were still hugging each other.

Until the exposed arms felt sticky.

Saki: “…It’s so hot.”

Dog Curl: "Salmon."

He agreed, but didn't let go.

So Saki just let him hold her in silence.

While she was daydreaming, she thought that this seemed to be her first time hugging a member of the opposite sex?

Ah...roles like father are naturally not included.

After all, Saki had never been in a relationship before.

Oh no, is this the legendary first love?

It was getting hotter and hotter, so hot that she could no longer concentrate on her thoughts.

She could notice that Gojuanji lowered his head slightly, as if rubbing against her shoulder... well, he was becoming more and more like a pet.

But no matter how much they resembled each other, Saki couldn't feel like doting on her.

So Saki reached out and poked it, and felt that Inumaki suddenly stiffened.

"It's so hot, it's time."

Inujuanji hesitated: "...Salmon."

Finally, I let go.

He was a little reluctant - which was natural.

But it was clear that Saki wouldn't agree to another hug any time soon.

Goujuanji lowered his eyes in disappointment.

After leaving, the heat that had arisen from the previous kiss was quickly blown away by the wind, and the feeling of heat finally disappeared.

Saki: "Ah, time to go back."

Inumaki Tsuchiya nodded and walked beside Saki.

Realizing what he meant, Saki smiled and extended her hand.

Goujuanji held her hand without looking away.

Still very hot.

*

The weekend is approaching.

But Saki hasn't figured out a suitable date plan yet.

She had no other choice but to ask her good friend for help.

The four of them had a common group chat, so Saki simply asked in the group.

[Saki]: Help! I've made an appointment with Ji to go on a date this weekend, but I have no idea how or where to go. Please help!

【Nozaki】:! ! Dating! !

Ah... not surprising at all.

The first person to respond to this kind of topic and get unexpectedly excited would only be Nozaki.

[Chiyo]: Hmm, going to a movie or an amusement park?

[Xiao Yuyu]: That’s too old-fashioned.

【Chiyo】：###

[Nozaki]: No matter where you decide to go on a date, please be sure to tell me the location. This is the only request I have in my life!

Saki: ...and then I'll let you follow me secretly, huh? Forget it!

[Nozaki]: Am I that kind of person?

[Saki]: You are so right.

There was a lot of discussion in the group and they made many suggestions.

For example, the zoo, the cinema, the amusement park, karaoke, making cakes, swimming, walking... and so on.

[Saki]: Good, good, all very useful materials. [Heart]

After closing the chat interface, Saki felt that she was now terrifyingly strong.

…

weekend.

No, she is terribly weak now.

Saki sat on the bed, head bowed, looking listless.

She rubbed her hair frantically.

Ahhhh!

Why! Why can’t I make a schedule?

There are so many options to refer to, why!

Saki fell back onto the bed, clasping her hands together.

Well, give up, I might as well just watch TV at home today.

Is it the fear of making a choice, or is it because it's the first date and I'm a little stressed?

In short, Saki made several plans, but in the end he felt that they were not good enough and he was still hesitant to make a decision.

Gojumaki Saki is coming soon! She has to decide on one of these plans.

Saki rolled around on the bed.

...Well, I better get up and comb my hair first.

Soon, Goujuanji arrived.

[Tuna Rice Balls Are the Best]: I'm here! [Cat Salute.jpg]

[Long Live the Striped Puppy]: I'll open the door!

The weather today is pretty good, it is cloudy. Although the temperature is high, at least it is not as hot as a sunny day.

Saki ran to the door and opened it for Inumaki.

Although he had known that Saki's parents were not at home, Goumaki Saki still couldn't hide his nervousness when he visited Saki's house for the first time.

He lowered his eyes slightly and pinched his fingertips one by one.

The door opened.

Saki: "Welcome, welcome! Would you like to come in and have some water?"

Inujuan Ji subconsciously pursed his lips: "...Salmon."

He was wearing casual clothes and a mask, but when he came to Saki, he had moved the mask to his chin, revealing most of his face, which just happened to cover the tattoo.

Goujuanji walked in and took off his mask.

"kelp."

Saki tilted her head. "Oh...! Does it mean 'excuse me'?"

almost.

Inujuan Ji nodded.

Saki smiled and helped him get his slippers, "Okay, come in."
