Chapter 134 The Second Player
"I said, Gojo, do you know what you are talking about?"
Ieiri Naoko's eyebrows jumped, and the corners of her mouth twitched: "Dating together...what is that?"
"Go on a date together"...Is this what he said?
First of all, can what Igarashi Yuuki and Hanayama Haruna did be called a "date"? Ieiri Shoko thinks that what they did was at most just "kids holding hands and going out to play on the street".
Gojo Satoru's words were even more insulting... After all, he and Hanayama Haruna were an "engaged couple" in the secular sense, right? What was a "group date" called?! Apart from anything else, it just sounded too weird!
"Why not?"
Gojo Satoru had originally just said it casually, but as soon as Ieiri Shoko expressed his opposition and disapproval, he immediately became arrogant and insisted on doing so. Moreover, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was really good, and he even felt quite justified.
"Anyway, there's nothing shameful about their date, right Yuuki? And aren't we all classmates and friends? Why can only the two of them go on a date, and not all of us? We can also give Haruna a surprise!"
What "surprise"? For Hanayamain Haruna, it should be called "shock", right?
Xi Hai Qing Dou tried not to laugh.
Ever since Gojo Satoru's attitude changed, Hanayamain Haruna had no choice but to put him aside and try to "conquer" him. The more she looked at Gojo Satoru, the more she disliked him.
——After all, although Saikai Haruto is "unsophisticated", his attitude is good. He does not resist Hanayamain Haruna's approach at all. The two of them can usually play together and get along very harmoniously - at least that's the case in Hanayamain Haruna's eyes.
If there is enough time and nothing unexpected happens, according to Hanayamain Haruna's idea, the process of "conquering" Igarashi Yuuki should be smooth - if there are no accidents.
As a result, an "accident" happened, and his name was "Gojo Satoru".
Hanayamain Haruna really had no idea what had suddenly gone mad with Gojo Satoru - at first this guy liked to go against her, and suddenly they started quarreling and getting with each other while talking. Hanayamain Haruna thought he was talking about some "love-hate relationship" or tsundere script; then, after not seeing each other for just half a month, this guy suddenly went angry and hid whenever he saw her, which made her confused, and she couldn't guess what the script was for a long time.
As a result, when she and "Yuuki Igarashi" were getting close and the two were "in a hot relationship", Gojo Satoru suddenly appeared again - but this time he was looking for "Yuuki Igarashi" instead of Hanayamain Haruna. Good guy, he really tried every means to destroy their relationship and tried to separate them. Hanayamain Haruna almost suspected that Gojo Satoru had fallen in love with Yuuki Igarashi - and then repeatedly confirmed countless times that this was indeed a pure otome love game, without a single BL line, right? !
——Although she confirmed for the umpteenth time that Gojo Satoru and Igarashi Yuuki were both straight men with nothing abnormal in their sexual orientation, after Gojo Satoru had ruined Hanayamain Haruna's plan for the N+1th time and she had forcibly held back the previous few times, Hanayamain Haruna finally couldn't help it anymore. Now she didn't care what script he had, and angrily put Gojo Satoru on the blacklist of her grudge notebook - she had given up on conquering Gojo Satoru! (For now)
Get out of here with this bastard scumbag DK who only has a face to look at and has flaws everywhere! He is not worthy of her capture - I say it again, he is not worthy!! Even if he has a script of "Chasing Wife to the Crematorium", she will send him directly to the crematorium!
——Anyway, they are probably really done with each other, right? At the moment, it can be said that they are truly incompatible?
Saikai Haruto thought back to the relationship between Gojo Satoru and Hanayamain Haruna some time ago - it was true now. They would quarrel over the slightest disagreement, dislike each other, and always ended up parting on bad terms.
If it were posted on a forum, I would probably write a shocking post: [Shocking! The engaged couple who should have loved each other turned against each other and swore at each other, and the reason was actually because of him...]
As the man behind the scenes, Saikai Haruto was very satisfied.
However, this time, if Hanayamain Haruna knew that Gojo Satoru was going to do something weird again and turn a good "date" into a "team building", she would probably get angry and disagree again, right?
But why did he suddenly feel a little bit excited?
So he raised his hand and said, "I think what you said is right, Satoru, so I don't have any objection... But, Haruna-san, you probably won't agree, right? After all, you and Haruna-san always quarrel suddenly."
"So let's not tell her yet and give Haruna a surprise!"
Gojo Satoru was confident and enthusiastic: "After not seeing her for a few days, she must have missed us, right? I definitely won't quarrel with her this time - and it's not my fault alone!"
Geto Summer expressed what everyone else was thinking: "Satoru, are you sure it's 'surprise' and not 'shock'?"
"I won't do anything to Haruna, so how could I be scared?"
Gojo Satoru pretended to be aggrieved, but unfortunately he couldn't pretend for more than a second, and he returned to his arrogant attitude: "Yuuki, please contact Haruna as soon as possible! Anyway, it's settled! Tomorrow we will go on a date with you and Haruna!"
"I refuse—"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Ieiri Shoko raised one hand and said seriously: "I have a mission tomorrow, so I am not as free as you guys. I will not participate in the date. I will make a date with Haruna next time, you guys go!"
In such a hot day, she didn't want to mess around with the young master and do such boring things. She might as well go back and lie down.
Xia Yujie hesitated for a moment: "Me too..."
"Jay, you said you would have a day off tomorrow too!"
Gojo Satoru quickly reached out and pulled down Kagome Jie's half-extended hand, and said with a smile: "Then let's go together! Don't refuse! Otherwise I will tell Haruna that you ran away alone because you didn't want to see her."
"I didn't say I disagree. Haruna will be back tomorrow, and I just made an appointment to pick her up tomorrow."
Xia Yujie was both angry and amused. He glared at Gojo Satoru and said, "Satoru, you have changed. Isn't your threat too insidious?"
"It's all good as long as it works." Gojo Satoru was beaming with joy, and he shouted to Saikai Haruto: "Yuuki, quickly tell Haruna to move the date to tomorrow~ Remember to tell her it's a surprise!"
"Since you won't quarrel or have conflicts with Haruna, then there will be no problem! I understand. I will send a message to Haruna now--"
Saikai Haruto drew out his words, took out his cell phone and poked Hanayamain Haruna directly.
Igarashi Yuuki: "Haruna-san! Jay said you can come back tomorrow, is that true?"
Hanayamain Haruna: "Hey, Yuuki, are you with Jie now? Yes, I will be back from Kyoto tomorrow. Yuuki, is there anything you want to talk to me about?"
Igarashi Yuuki: "Yeah, I happened to meet Jie, Wu and Gaozi when the mission was over! They are right next to me now."
Igarashi Yuuki: "I have agreed with Haruna that we will go on a date together after you come back the day after tomorrow. Since Haruna can come back tomorrow, can we move the date forward to tomorrow? I can also pick you up with Jay tomorrow!"
Hanayamain Haruna: "...Eh?"
Hanayamain Haruna: "Ahaha, we can change it to tomorrow! Yuuki, are you going to pick me up with Jie? Yuuki, do you mean that the three of us should go on a date together...?"
Igarashi Yuuki: "Haruna, you guessed wrong, but I can't tell you now... maybe you will know tomorrow, right?"
Hanayamain Haruna: "Ah..."
Hanayamain Haruna: "Okay, I have no opinion!"
Igarashi Yuuki: "That's great, see you tomorrow, and I wish you all the best~"
Saikai Haruto put away his phone, made an "OK" sign to Gojo Satoru and Geto Kagome, and smiled brightly: "Haruna-san agreed!"
He turned to look at Glass: "But Glass, you really won't come with us?"
"Wow, Haruna, it's rare that he agreed so quickly."
Gojo Satoru was surprised: "Yuuki, you didn't ask Jie and I to go tell her too, did you?"
"Satoru, didn't you say you wanted to give Haruna a surprise?"
Nishimi Haruto looked at him strangely, "If you say the word surprise out loud, it won't be a surprise anymore. Don't worry, with Haruna's personality, as long as you don't mess around and quarrel with her on purpose, Haruna will definitely not be angry."
No wonder...he said that if she knew that he wanted to come together, Hanayamain Haruna would definitely not agree easily.
"Okay, it's settled then!" Gojo Satoru smiled brightly.
The next day at 1:30 pm, JR Tokai Shinkansen, Tokyo Station.
Hanayamain Haruna gave up her usual white and tight shrine maiden outfit and changed into a simple, cool T-shirt and shorts - the weather was really too hot, and she would be a fool if she continued to wear such a tight shrine maiden outfit.
After getting off the Shinkansen, Hanayamain Haruna opened the parasol in her hand, took out her cell phone and called Saikai Haruto.
Originally, she planned to come back today, leaving today's time for Geto Suguru, and then the "welcome party" just happened to be a good opportunity for the two of them to play together outside for a day; tomorrow's time was left for "Igarashi Yuuki", and the two days were just right...
Unexpectedly, Geto Suguru and Haruto Nishimi happened to meet each other yesterday, and they even talked about her matching schedule... In order not to look guilty, Hanayamain Haruna agreed to Haruto Nishimi's request to "advance the date to today".
——Since he said it wasn’t a date with three people, there shouldn’t be any problem, right?
With such a lucky mentality and ignoring a certain unpleasant premonition, Hanayamain dialed Saikai Haruto's phone number, and then quickly found him following the instructions on the phone.
"Yuuki! I'm here..."
——Then the bright smile that had just appeared on his face froze in an instant when he saw a tall figure beside him.
"Gojo Satoru?! Why are you here too?!"
Hanayamain Haruna suddenly screamed in surprise.
Probably because today was a day off, the three boys standing in the front were no longer wearing the black Curse High uniforms, but instead changed into casual clothes, appearing to be more youthful and energetic than usual.
Although they were in a crowd, their height and build, their temperament and aura, as well as their looks that were far superior to the average of ordinary people, made them stand out like a crane among a flock of chickens - there was even a faint hint of a small vacuum zone around them.
"Hey, Haruna, long time no see!" Gojo Satoru poked his big furry white head out from behind Saikai Haruto's shoulder and greeted Hanayamain Haruna with a smile. In contrast to his usual coldness and acrimony when he saw her, he seemed to be in a very good mood.
"To welcome you back as a surprise! Yuuki, Jie and I decided to date you today! Haruna, are you happy?"
"Haruna-san!" "Sorry Haruna, it was Wu who insisted on coming here."
Saikai Haruto and Geto Suguru also waved and greeted her with a smile.
Hanayamain Haruna: "?"
If Gojo Satoru had said he wanted to "date" her when she had just entered the game, Hanayamain Haruna would have definitely been happy - after all, Gojo Satoru was really handsome if you just looked at his face, and he was worthy of being the game's poster boy. Hanayamain Haruna felt that just by looking at Gojo Satoru's face she could extinguish the anger in her heart and forget about his various suffocating operations.
But she is no longer the same person she used to be! The current Gojo Satoru saying this only makes her feel that this guy has ulterior motives, and she just wants to roll her eyes at Gojo Satoru.
So she really flipped out: "Get lost! I refuse! Being with you will only ruin my mood, okay?"
——She saw through it. What this guy was going to do was definitely not because he had finally come to his senses and wanted to experience the sweetness of love, but because he didn't want her to be with "Igarashi Yuuki". Not only would it not help her to increase her progress in the strategy, it would also hold her back.
What an ugly scumbag DK! It's useless to hinder her progress in the raid, no matter how handsome she is!!
Hanayamain Haruna simply gave up on conquering Gojo Satoru for the time being, and was too lazy to maintain her image in front of him... maybe she would wait until he could change his bad temper.
Xia Yujie raised his hand to show that he was innocent: "I'm sorry, Haruna... Satoru didn't let me say it."
"Hey, Haruna-san, aren't you happy?"
Xi Hai Qing Dou was surprised for a moment, then smiled at her comfortingly: "But don't worry, Wu said he won't make you angry today!"
He winked at Hanayamain Haruna, smiling brightly and refreshingly: "Because Wu said he wanted to give you a surprise, I didn't tell you in advance. That is, Naoko couldn't come with us because she had a mission today... But I think that even if the four of us go out to play together, it should be more fun than just the two of us, right? After all, we are all friends, and everyone is very happy that you are back today, Haruna, and it will be more lively this way!"
"Yeah, that's what Yuuki said!"
Gojo Satoru smiled so much that his eyebrows almost flew up: "We are all friends anyway... The more people we play together, the better. Haruna, aren't you happy? You're not going to refuse, are you?"
"Ha, ha...how could that be...I'm quite happy..."
——What a ghost!
Hanayamain Haruna smiled dryly - she finally understood what it meant to "shoot oneself in the foot".
In order to facilitate her "multi-directional strategy", she always likes to define her relationship with people as "friends".
——Because we are “friends”, the relationship is closer, and it is normal for our behavior to go a little beyond the line, because we are all “good friends”!
Of course, this excuse was often answered with full affirmation by Saikai Haruto: "Of course, Haruna and I are friends, so these behaviors are normal between friends!" But then she wasn't so happy anymore.
Now Gojo Satoru blocked her again by saying “we are all friends” - since they are all “friends”, then it’s okay if a “date” for two people turns into a “party” for four people, right?
——But how could the "date" she had originally planned for today really be just a date between "friends"!
There were two extra "light bulbs" for no reason, and one of them was her "target" in her plan, while the other was a "target" she had temporarily abandoned. This kind of "date" was too embarrassing! !
Hanayamain Haruna angrily canceled several great activities that she had originally planned.
Xia Yujie looked at Gojo Satoru suspiciously. He was actually being nice to Haruna today? The sun didn't rise from the west either? Did he take the wrong medicine?
To be honest, the reason why he agreed to a "date" with four people was because he had no intention of keeping an eye on Gojo Satoru and preventing him from causing any more trouble.
The experience of the past month or two had taught him that it was best not to leave Gojo Satoru, Igarashi Yuuki, and Hanayamain Haruna alone.
Otherwise, if they're not careful, they might suddenly start arguing or cause some trouble - especially between Gojo Satoru and Hanayamain Haruna.
Of course, it doesn't mean that the existence of "Igarashi Yuuki" is unimportant... On the contrary, according to Xia Yujie's observation, Gojo Satoru and Haruna quarreled basically because of competing for Yuuki. If Yuuki was not there, the two of them would not even get along with each other, let alone confront each other.
Although even Geto Suguru and Igarashi Yuuki themselves don't know what they are trying to steal.
Maybe it’s some very “Gojo Satoru” reason like “my friends are not allowed to play with other people”?
But the reason is not important. What is important is that it is best not to leave the three of them alone together, otherwise there will be trouble again.
He couldn't stop Gojo Satoru's actions, but with one more person... the difference between three people and four people didn't seem to be that big, so there shouldn't be any problem, right?
Xia Yujie looked at Hanayamain Haruna, smiling with the warmth and peace that only a young man could show: "Haruna, you don't have to pay attention to Wu. Don't worry, he will definitely not make you angry again today and deliberately do something messy, right Wu?"
He looked at Gojo Satoru with a threatening smile.
Gojo Satoru beeped loudly: "Jay, you are slandering me! I have never done anything messy, okay! Don't worry, I will be super quiet on today's date and won't do anything bad!"
Hanayamain Haruna curled the corner of her mouth: Haha, he just needs to stand here and do nothing today, and he is already "making trouble"!
"I said, don't you feel hot?"
Saikai Haruto fanned himself speechlessly with his hands, then bent his waist and lowered his head slightly to walk under Hanayamain Haruna's umbrella, with a sly smile: "Haruna-san, let me help you hold the umbrella!"
He picked up Hanayamain Haruna's umbrella and said, "Speaking of which, what are we going to do on our date today?"
"Ah, this..."
Hanayamain Haruna's eyes wandered.
Originally, it was a two-person "date" and she had planned to do it like a couple's date - but now it has become four people. It would be weird to do the original project with four people, right?!
"How about going to the aquarium?"
Gojo Satoru raised his hands enthusiastically, "I know there's an aquarium that just opened nearby, and it looks pretty good! And it's the place where you're going to work part-time the day after tomorrow, Yuuki, right?"
Xi Haiqing Dou was surprised: "Hey, how did you know that?"
"Because I saw the flyer in your room." Gojo Satoru said naturally, "How about this place?"
He rubbed his hands together and counted on his fingers, "After we go to the aquarium, we can go to the movies! I remember that there are a few good movies recently. Then there's the amusement park! Speaking of which, I haven't been to the amusement park yet. I wonder if it will be really interesting... Oh, yes, there's also..."
"Satoru, did you make a strategy?"
Hanayamain Haruna couldn't help but ask: "How do you know so much?"
——This guy actually looks serious. Does he really want to go on a “date”?
No way, could it be that he really didn't have any other thoughts this time and just wanted to have fun? Is this true?
And the locations mentioned all looked pretty good...the movie and amusement park were even part of her "original plan".
Hanayamain Haruna couldn't help but look sideways.
"Not really. I just received a few flyers on the road and took a look at them. The things they said seemed quite interesting."
Gojo Satoru said calmly, "I've never played it before, and since everyone is free today, why don't we go play together?"
——The "Six-Eyed God Child" of the Gojo family. In the past, even the Gojo family rarely went out and rarely came into contact with the outside world, so naturally, they had even less contact with these amusement facilities.
As expected, Geto Suguru and Haruto Nishimi also thought of this, and nodded in agreement out of sympathy for their companions.
"Of course!"
"Then let's do as you say!"
——So, you don't need to ask her opinion now, right?
Hanayamain Haruna remained silent.
