Chapter 17
Mikoshiba was easily coaxed by Saki's words "Pigs are not as handsome as you".
He coughed lightly, and although he tried hard to restrain himself, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips, with an expression that was both happy, complacent, and proud, and small flowers were floating around him.
Saki: Although, it's nothing to be proud of.
Miko Chai snorted lightly: "You have good taste."
Saki: “Yes, yes, yes.”
While tidying up the table, Saki asked casually, "By the way, how are your preparations for the physical exam going?"
Mikoshiba looked confident: "I've prepared everything! I've put in a lot of effort!"
Saki: "Is that so? Then I wish you success in advance."
Looking up, she saw Mikoshiba still staring at Kashima Yuu. She pondered for a moment, then asked, "Why are you staring at Kashima-san?"
Mikoshiba's eyes were filled with fighting spirit, "Just wait and see Oda, I will definitely defeat him!"
...So even now, we still haven't discovered Kashima Yu's true gender.
But why does Mikoshiba consider Kashima Yu an enemy? Uh, a nemesis?
Is it the competitive spirit between handsome guys?
It’s not impossible, after all, they are Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick… No, she means Crouching Tiger and Hidden Dragon.
Saki remembered how Mikoshiba had previously paid too much attention to Kashima Yuu, and nodded secretly.
"Okay, then I wish you success."
Because it rained today, I felt gloomy early in the morning.
She prayed all day long for the rain to stop, but things never went as planned. When school was over, it was still drizzling outside.
Why.
Miko Chai couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong, don't you have an umbrella?"
Saki: "I brought it, but I simply hate this weather."
The two walked downstairs together, each opened an umbrella and walked out.
Since the school didn't require students to join any clubs, quite a few joined the "Go Home Club." Therefore, when school was over, there were still a lot of people at the school gate.
I don’t feel anything at ordinary times, but I feel very annoyed when it rains.
Mikoshiba looked at it and said, "Just walk out slowly."
Saki: “That’s all we have to do.”
She looked down and saw that there was already a shallow layer of water on the ground.
Although she had put on a layer of waterproof rain boots on the outside of her shoes, it was obvious that they were not comfortable. Now she just wanted to go home quickly and take off the shoes.
Two people held umbrellas and walked slowly outside.
Finally out of the school gate, Saki breathed a sigh of relief.
She said goodbye to Mikoshiba: "Bye."
Mikoshiba nodded: "See you tomorrow."
Saki went home holding an umbrella.
But after walking a few steps, she felt something was wrong...
This feeling! Is there a bad guy following her?
As soon as this thought popped into her mind, she immediately became alert.
Damn it! It just rains!
A sentence inexplicably popped up in Saki's mind: Rainy day, a weather suitable for committing a crime (not).
In short, under the protection of umbrellas and rain curtains, it seems that even if something happens, it will hardly attract attention.
Moreover, in such weather, passers-by are always in a hurry and it is difficult for them to spare the energy to care about the things around them.
Thinking of this, Saki became nervous.
Don't panic, don't panic. As long as she doesn't panic, nothing will go wrong.
Saki gripped the umbrella handle tightly.
At a bend, she stopped quietly, then folded her umbrella, held it, and pointed the tip of the umbrella outward.
When she sensed someone approaching, she immediately lunged forward.
"ha!"
But the opponent dodged her attack deftly.
The person who came was Gou Juanji.
Inujuanji opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Salmon...?"
But then he realized that the reason Saki suddenly attacked him was because of his stalking.
Thinking of this, Goujuanji immediately stiffened, not knowing how to explain.
After all…it seemed that there was no excuse for him stalking and following.
Thinking about it this way, the other party's vigilance is understandable, because following me like this is indeed suspicious.
Saki's original tense mood and fear of being dodged immediately relaxed.
"Inugumaki-san?"
Goujuanji held an umbrella, blinked, and then buried his face in his scarf uncomfortably.
"kelp……?"
Saying hello doesn't seem right either.
At this time, he noticed that Saki was still getting wet in the rain, so he quickly extended his umbrella to her, and got himself wet in the rain.
Saki was alerted by his action and came back to her senses.
Although she didn't understand what was going on and her mind was still dazed, it didn't stop her from making subconscious actions.
Saki pushed his umbrella back and followed suit, hiding under it.
"Oh, it's okay, don't get yourself wet."
So the two of them now stayed under the same umbrella.
Fortunately, the umbrella is big enough to accommodate two people.
But even so, in order to avoid the raindrops falling from the edge of the umbrella, Saki still walked inside.
Goujuanji's whole body was stiff and he didn't know how to move.
Only then did Saki slowly come back to her senses.
She was sorting out what had just happened.
In other words, the person she noticed following her was Inumaki Ji?
Is it the same as the first time I met him?
She then attacked Inumaki with her umbrella.
Then the other person dodged. Wow, his posture is quite flexible. I feel like he is a trained martial artist.
...No, no.
Saki collected her thoughts.
She raised her eyes and looked at Goujuanji who was very close to her. Her gaze fell on his face, then shifted slightly and saw his ears which were extremely red.
Hmm? Is it hot?
Saki: "Um... Inujuan-san, are you following me?"
She decided to ask directly.
After all, if it was Inugami Ji, she would feel much more relieved.
Although she did catch the other person following her, for some reason, Saki felt inexplicably relieved.
I feel that Inumaki is not a bad person.
Because of Saki's direct questioning, Inumaki Satoru was extremely panicked.
"Bo-Bo-Bo! Bo-Bo ...
……Can't understand.
But she understood "wooden fish flower" to mean negation.
So Saki said, "Boyuhua? But my feeling should be right, you seem to be following me."
“…”
Gou Juanji lowered his head, looking strangely like a puppy. The corners of his eyes drooped, making him look very lovable.
Saki quickly shook off the thought from her mind.
How can you imagine others as puppies? That’s so disrespectful!
But it seems so.
Goujuanji took out his cell phone.
Seeing that he was about to type, Saki took the initiative to reach out and take the umbrella.
When I went to pick up the umbrella, I accidentally touched Gojuanji's hand.
Warm and warm.
Goujuanji opened his eyes wide, and then his fur stood up: "Da, Dajie!"
Saki tilted her head.
Gou Juanji huddled himself into his scarf, his ears turning red.
He looked down at his phone in panic and typed quickly.
But his mind was in a mess, filled with the unexpected touch just now, and he had no idea how to answer Saki's question.
He felt like his brain was short-circuiting.
After spelling a few words and finding all of them wrong, Goujuanji took a deep breath, deleted them, and then thought about the words to type again.
Saki waited quietly, and looked up at Inumaki Satoru's umbrella.
A plain, unremarkable big black umbrella. Hmm. But it's huge.
After finishing typing, Inumaki Saki hesitated and showed the screen to Saki.
Saki leaned over to take a look.
[…Sorry, I didn’t mean to follow you.]
[Because... I was worried that Saki-san didn't bring an umbrella, so I wanted to come and see her.]
[The reason I followed her was because I was worried that Saki-san would be unsafe on her way home, so I wanted to escort her for a while.]
【sorry. 】
Gou Juanji pursed his lips slightly and lowered his eyelids.
Actually, what he said was not entirely true. Of course, it was also true.
But the reason he came here was actually because he wanted to see Saki.
Want to see her.
Because we can't run together today, but I miss you so much, so I came up with this idea.
The so-called following afterwards was also to increase the time of meeting.
But I didn't expect to be discovered.
Sure enough, it's still a bit bad.
Will Saki... hate him for this?
Thinking of this, Gojumaki couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He was already thinking about how to save him if he really hated him.
After reading it, Saki nodded, "I see."
Seeing that the other party didn't seem angry, Gou Juanji breathed a sigh of relief: "Salmon."
Saki: "Then you can just tell me directly. Didn't we add each other's contact information?"
Goujuanji hesitated.
He simply wanted to do all this alone and completely forgot about sending the message.
He immediately typed: [Sorry.]
Saki waved her hand. "It's okay, it's okay. But you have to tell me next time. I was really scared this time."
Inujuan Ji nodded.
So the topic ended there, and Saki had no intention of pursuing it.
After all, if it was Inugami Ji, she would think it was okay.
Saki brought up another topic. "But that dodging move you just made was really impressive! Did you learn any, uh, martial arts?"
Inumaki thought for a moment, "My taijutsu is better."
While not as good as Maki, he was still more than capable of handling an attack like Saki's.
Saki nodded, "I see!"
Inumaki noticed that her hair and forehead were still wet, from the rain that had fallen on her when Saki had removed her umbrella to use it as a weapon.
He paused, pulled a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to Saki.
Saki: “Is it for me?”
Gojuan Ji nodded.
Saki reached out and took it, "Hey... I thought everyone carried tissues these days. It seems rare to see people carrying handkerchiefs."
Goujuanji lowered his eyes somewhat embarrassedly.
It is clean.
Saki: "I know! I don't mean to be mean."
She hesitated: "Then I use it?"
Inujuan Ji nodded.
The handkerchief was clean and dry, without any strange smell or even any unwanted fragrance.
Inumaki Saki had already reached out to take the umbrella, so Saki's hands were free.
She wiped the water stains from her hair bit by bit, and looked at Gou Juanji who was waiting quietly with his eyes lowered. She didn't know why, but she felt...
Hmm.
Very subtle?
Maybe it was because of the handkerchief.
After wiping it, Saki put it away.
"I'll return it to you after you clean it."
Goujuanji hesitated for a moment.
Originally he didn't need to return it, but thinking that if he had an excuse to return the handkerchief, then he and Saki would have another reason to meet, so he nodded.
