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 angry 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 crazy 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 p.m., 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...
結果沒想到，夏油傑和西海晴鬥他們昨天居然那麽巧地遇到了一起，還談到了她對上了時間……為了不讓自己看上去心虛，花山院春奈還是同意了西海晴鬥的“約會提前到今天”的請求。
——既然他說了不是三個人一起約會的話，那應該就沒不會有問題吧？
懷揣着這樣的僥幸心理，将某種不太美妙的預感忽視掉，花山院撥通了西海晴鬥的電話，而後順着他在電話裏的指引很快就找到了他的身影。
“悠希！我在這裏……”
——而後剛揚起的燦爛笑容在看到他身邊的某個高大身影時瞬間僵掉。
“五條悟？！為什麽你也在這裏啊？！”
花山院春奈陡然驚叫出聲。
大概是因為今天是休息日，站在前方的三個少年都再沒穿一身黑的咒高制服，而是各自換上了一身休閑衣服，也要顯得比平常更多了幾分少年神采飛揚的意氣。
雖然身處在人群裏，但不管是他們的身高體型，還是三個人的周身氣質與氣勢、以及遠超普通人平均水平的長相，都讓他們像是鶴立于雞群般顯目極了——他們的周圍甚至隐隐約約出現了一小片真空地帶。
“喲，春奈，好久沒見！”五條悟從西海晴鬥的肩膀後探出一個毛茸茸的白色大腦袋，笑嘻嘻地和花山院春奈打了個招呼，一掃平時見到她時的冷淡與針鋒相對，反而看上去心情好得不得了。
“為了歡迎你回來的驚喜！我和悠希還有傑決定今天一起和你約會！春奈你開心麽？”
“春奈同學！”“抱歉春奈，是悟他非要跟過來的。”
西海晴鬥和夏油傑也笑着朝她揮手打着招呼。
花山院春奈：“？”
要是在她剛進入游戲的時候，五條悟說要和她“約會”，花山院春奈肯定是開心的——畢竟單看臉的話五條悟實在是好看得不得了，不愧是游戲的看板郎，花山院春奈覺得光看五條悟的臉她就熄掉心裏的怒火順便忘掉他的各種窒息操作。
但是現在的她已經不是以前的她了！現在的五條悟這麽說只會讓她覺得這家夥別有用心，她只想對五條悟翻白眼。
于是她也真的翻了：“滾啊！我拒絕！和你一起只會敗壞我的心情好麽？”
——她是看透了，這家夥要做些什麽，肯定不是因為他開竅了想嘗嘗愛情的滋味，而是因為不想她和“五十岚悠希”相處而已，不僅不會給她漲半分攻略進度，還會給她拖後腿。
真是面目醜惡的人渣DK！阻礙她的攻略進度，長得再帥也沒有用啊！！
花山院春奈索性暫時放棄攻略五條悟了，索性也懶得在他面前維系自己的形象了……等哪天他要是能把他這辣雞脾氣給改了以後再說吧。
夏油傑舉手，表示自己很無辜：“抱歉，春奈……是悟不讓我說的。”
“诶，春奈同學你不開心麽？”
西海晴鬥驚訝了一下，朝她安慰地笑了笑：“不過你放心啦，悟說了，他今天不會惹你生氣的！”
他朝着花山院春奈眨了眨眼睛，笑容清爽明亮：“因為悟說要給你一個驚喜，所以我才沒有提前告訴你，就是硝子因為今天還有任務所以沒能一起……但是我想，就算是四個人一起出門玩的話，應該也會比只有我們兩個人一起會有趣一點吧？畢竟大家都是朋友，春奈同學你今天回來了大家都很開心，這樣子也會更熱鬧嘛！”
“是啊，就是悠希說的這樣！”
五條悟笑得眉毛簡直都要飛起來：“反正大家都是朋友嘛……一起玩當然是人越多越好喽，春奈你不開心麽？你該不會要拒絕吧？”
“呵、呵呵……怎麽會……我挺開心的……”
——個鬼啊！
花山院春奈幹巴巴地笑了笑——她算是搞懂什麽叫“搬起石頭砸自己的腳”了。
為了方便她“多向攻略”，她一向喜歡将與人的關系定義為“朋友”。
——因為是“朋友”，所以關系親密一點，行為稍微越界一點點也是正常的，因為大家都是“好朋友”嘛！
當然，這個借口在西海晴鬥也常常給予她完全肯定的回複：“當然了，我和春奈同學是朋友，所以這些行為都是朋友之間很正常的！”之後就讓她沒那麽開心了。
現在五條悟又用“大家都是朋友”這個說法來堵她——既然都是“朋友”的話，那麽，兩個人的“約會”變成四個人的“聚會”，那也是沒關系的吧？
——但是她原本計劃的今天的“約會”怎麽可能會真的是“朋友”之間的那種啊！
平白多了兩個“電燈泡”，甚至兩個電燈泡還一個也是她計劃中的“攻略目标”，另一個是暫時被她放棄的“攻略目标”，這樣的“約會”也太讓人尴尬了吧！！
花山院春奈含恨劃掉原計劃中的幾項大好活動。
夏油傑狐疑地看了一眼五條悟——他今天居然真的對春奈的态度還不錯？太陽也沒有從西邊升起來啊？不會是吃錯藥了吧？
老實說他會同意四個人一起“約會”，未嘗沒有打算看住五條悟，不讓他再鬧出什麽幺蛾子的原因在。
過去一兩個月的經驗告訴他，最好不要讓五條悟、五十岚悠希還有花山院春奈單獨相處。
不然的話，一個不小心，他們就能突然吵起來，或者鬧出來點什麽事——特指五條悟和花山院春奈之間。
當然，倒不是說“五十岚悠希”的存在就是不重要的了……相反，據夏油傑觀察，五條悟和春奈基本都是因為争搶悠希而吵起來的。如果悠希不在的話，他們兩個連相處都沒有，更別說針鋒相對了。
雖然就連夏油傑還有“五十岚悠希”本人都不清楚他們究竟是在搶個什麽就是了。
或許是某種“老子的朋友不許和其他人玩”之類的很“五條悟”的原因？
不過原因不重要，重要的是，最好不要讓他們三個單獨相處，不然又要有的鬧了。
五條悟的行動他是阻止不了了，但是多他一個……三個人和四個人的差別似乎也不大，應該也沒什麽問題吧？
夏油傑看向花山院春奈，笑容帶着少年特有的溫潤平和：“春奈，你不用搭理悟，放心吧，他今天一定不會再惹你生氣，故意再做些什麽亂七八糟的事情的，對吧悟？”
他笑容中帶着威脅地看向五條悟。
五條悟大聲哔哔：“傑你在貸款污蔑啦！我從來都沒有做過什麽亂七八糟的事情好麽！放心啦，今天的約會我一定超——安靜，不會做任何壞事噠！”
花山院春奈扯了扯嘴角：呵呵，他今天只要站在這裏什麽事都不用做，就已經是在“搗亂”了！
“我說你們都不覺得熱的麽？”
西海晴鬥無語地用手給自己扇了扇風，彎着腰微微低頭走進了花山院春奈的傘下，笑容狡黠：“春奈同學，我來幫你拿傘好了！”
他順手将花山院春奈的傘舉了起來：“說起來我們今天的約會要做什麽呢？”
“啊，這個麽……”
花山院春奈目光游移。
原本兩個人“約會”，她是打算怎麽像情侶約會怎麽來的——但是現在變成了四個人，原本的項目，四個人一起去做的話怎麽看都怎麽奇怪吧？！
“去水族館怎麽樣？”
五條悟積極舉手，興高采烈：“我知道附近有一個剛開沒多久的水族館，而且規模還算不錯的樣子！而且還是悠希你後天要去兼職的地點對不對？”
西海晴鬥意外：“诶，悟你是怎麽知道的？”
“因為看到你房間裏的傳單了啊。”五條悟自然而然道，“這個地點怎麽樣？”
他摩拳擦掌，掰着手指頭數着計劃：“等去完水族館以後我們還可以再去看電影！我記得最近有幾場電影都很不錯的樣子诶，然後還有游樂園！說起來我還沒去過游樂園呢，不知道會不會是真的很有意思……啊，對了，還有……”
“悟你是做了攻略麽？”
花山院春奈忍不住開口：“你是怎麽知道這麽多的？”
——這家夥看上去居然還像是認真的，真的是想要進行“約會”來着？
不會吧，難道他這回是真的沒有任何其他想法，單純只是想玩麽？真的假的？
而且舉的幾個地點看上去也都很不錯的樣子……電影和游樂園甚至同樣也是她“原計劃”裏的項目內容。
花山院春奈不禁側目。
“也不是吧，就是剛才在路上收到了幾張傳單，我就沒事看了幾眼，上面說的這些好像還是很有趣的樣子。”
五條悟坦然道，“反正我都沒怎麽玩過嘛，正好今天大家都有空那就一起去玩一玩不好麽？”
——五條家的“六眼神子”，過往連五條家都很少出，同樣也很少接觸外界，自然就更少會接觸到這些游樂設施了。
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.
