Chapter 92 A surprise attack, huh? ┮﹏┭ The village guy has no martial ethics…
In mid-October, Rikkai University welcomed a school trip.
Risa submitted a special permission application to the school and rushed to the filming location in Osaka.
In previous years, Yukimura Seiichi would choose to study abroad, but this year he made an unprecedented decision to stay in Japan. Together with Yanagi Renji and Sanada Genichiro, he planned an in-depth travel route from Kyoto to Osaka.
On the very day the trip was finalized, Kirihara Akaya rushed into the clubroom, holding up his application form, and loudly announced, "Captain! I want to join your school trip too!"
Yukimura smiled: "Oh? And the reason?"
Kirihara said with a righteous expression, "With Risa-nee here, I have to keep an eye on the club president to prevent you from cheating on me!"
The entire audience remained silent for three seconds.
Sanada's forehead bulged with veins, and he clenched his fist. Liu's pen left a long trail of ink on the notebook, while Yukimura's smile grew even gentler.
“Akaya,” Yukimura said softly, “You have quite the courage.”
In the end, Kirihara successfully joined the "Big Three's" school trip team.
Upon hearing this, the members of the tennis club were filled with respect and unanimously awarded him the honorary title of "Top Ten Brothers of the Year," and stuck a note on his back that read, "Warrior, rest in peace."
Meanwhile, Risa, who was far away on the film set in Osaka, received a Line message.
[Yukimura]: "The school trip has begun. However, it seems someone is quite worried about me?"
(Attachment: Photo of Kirihara following behind the three men with a look of grim determination)
[Risa]: "...Thank you all for taking such good care of Akaya. (Chuckles)"
"However, I completely trust what Aichi says."
[Yukimura]: "Really? Then I'll reward you properly when you come back."

Risa stared at the screen for two seconds, then silently buried her face in the script.
What was clearly a matcha parfait for a celebration banquet, she interpreted as the intertwined body heat in the dimly lit entryway.
—Indeed, it's an adult's heart.

Osaka, on a film set.
Risa had just finished filming a scene in the rain, soaking wet and wrapped in a towel, huddled on a lounge chair. Her phone vibrated; a new message popped up on Line—
[Yukimura]: (Attachment: A group photo of Kiyomizu-dera Temple in Kyoto. Sanada is solemnly making a peace sign, Yanagi is holding up a data notebook, and Kirihara's mouth is stuffed with dumplings.)
"On the third day of the school trip, Akaya has already eaten eleven desserts. Yanagi calculated that his probability of getting cavities has risen to 47.32%."
Risa chuckled and typed rapidly:
"I suggest confiscating his allowance and replacing it with an English vocabulary notebook."
"Furthermore, how exactly was Liu Jun's data calculated? And why is it complete with a decimal point?"
[Yukimura]: "Can we video chat?"
[Risa]: "Mm."
The video call request popped up as soon as the message was sent.
In the scene, Yukimura stands under a Japanese garden corridor, with mountains covered in red leaves behind him. Sanada is discussing something with Yanagi Renji, while Kirihara is wailing, "Why do I have to memorize vocabulary even for a trip?!"
He turned slightly to block out the noisy background noise and lowered his voice, "Are you getting rained on?"
Risa was taken aback. She had clearly dried her hair.
"Your eyelashes are still wet with water droplets." Yukimura lightly touched the screen with his fingertips, as if brushing across her face from a distance. "And... your lips are paler than usual."
To observe so carefully at a time like this?!
Risa pulled the phone closer and muttered deliberately, "Yeah, it's so cold. If a certain department head were here, maybe he'd lend me a jacket..."
Before the words were even finished, the other end replied instantly:
"Not only can I borrow your coat, but I can also give you my body heat to keep you warm."
"......"
I was the one who flirted first, so how did I get countered?
Damn it! I'll fight you overpowered, super-talented players!

[Late Night Line Chat Log]
[Risa]: (Sharing location: a hotel in Osaka)
"That's a wrap! I got splashed with water five times today playing a villain. The director praised me, saying I looked 'beautifully disheveled' (laughs)."
[Yukimura]: (Sent photo: Kyoto garden under the moonlight)
"The maple leaves here have turned red; it will be even more beautiful tomorrow."
P.S.: The director is wrong.
"Your most beautiful self can only be seen by me."
[Risa]: "[Animated emoticon] Rabbit blushing.jpg"

Kyoto, inn.
[Risa]: "After filming finishes tomorrow, I can finally take a day off..."
"I've been working non-stop these past few days, I'm exhausted."
(Read 20:22)
Yukimura stared at the screen and typed:
"Thank you for your hard work \(￣︶￣*\))"
(Attachment: A photo he just took of the moonlight outside the window)
[Risa]: "What is Oichi doing?"
"Did I disturb you? →_→"
[Yukimura]: "Sanada took Akaya for a night run, and Yanagi is organizing today's data."
"So now, we have... twenty minutes?"
[Risa]: "Is it my heart? I feel like there's something ambiguous about the words you typed (* /ω＼*)"
[Yukimura]: "Huh?"
[Risa]: "It's nothing ￣▽￣"
Where did you go today?
[Yukimura]: (Attachments: Photos of Arashiyama bamboo forest in the morning mist, close-up of a matcha dessert shop, and a matcha parfait that is almost melting)
"I went to this matcha shop that claims to be the best in Kyoto, and waited in line for two hours."
[Risa]: "Ahhh! It's a matcha parfait!!"
(Shaking phone wildly.gif)
"That bamboo container is so cute! The bracken cakes look so chewy and bouncy!"
(Tears involuntarily streamed down his face.jpg)
Looking at the emojis Risa sent, Yukimura could imagine that she was probably rolling around in bed right now.
"There are similar places in Osaka too."
He naturally changed the subject.
"The bamboo grove in Minoo Park, while not as sprawling and spectacular as that in Arashiyama, is quiet and private, with far fewer tourists. I think Risa would prefer it."
"Moreover, the century-old shop at the foot of the mountain serves soft, chewy, and refreshing matcha warabi mochi."
[Risa]: "Never mind..."
(Cat falls to the ground and sighs.gif)
"I'm in an unfamiliar place, even though I have Google Maps..."
Great, you're hooked.
Yukimura curled the corner of his mouth slightly and continued typing:
"How about I be your tour guide?"
The sound wave pattern of the voice message was jumping; he had sent a voice message.
[Yukimura]: (A 6-second voice message)
Risa curiously clicked on it and held it to her ear—
"I'm better than Google Maps..."
A low, husky laugh came first, followed by a deliberately slowed voice.
"...I'm more familiar with how to make Risa happy."
Risa sat up abruptly, covering her bright red ears.
This person lacks martial ethics and launches a surprise attack! ┮﹏┭
After a long pause, she finally typed a reply:
"But...aren't you acting as a group?"
[Yukimura]: "The original plan was to leave Uji for Osaka the day after tomorrow afternoon, but I just arrived early, so it's okay."
(Read 20:45)
The other party is typing...
It lasted for a full two minutes.
"......Fool."
Risa only replied with two words, but listened to that voice message countless times.
