Chapter 135 The Second Player

It turned out that they really didn't need to ask her opinion... The three of them had already discussed "where to go and what to do" by themselves, and then they turned around and asked her with a smile, "Haruna, what do you think?"

What else could Hanayamain Haruna say? She could only smile: "I don't have anything——"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted again by Gojo Satoru:

"Ohhh, an aquarium! Are there whales and mermaids in the aquarium?"

Saikai Haruto and Geto Suguru immediately turned their attention back.

"Wu, please wake up. Even though I've never been to an aquarium before, I know that mermaids don't exist."

"No way, Wu, you don't like 'mermaid', do you? Hey, that's just a fairy tale, how can it be true?"

The two of them complained and laughed at Gojo Satoru in silence and amused manner.

"Eh, there isn't one? Mermaids are fish, right? If there aren't any mermaids, can it still be called an aquarium?"

Gojo Satoshi did not hide her disappointment, but as she turned her eyes, a slightly shy smile flashed through her eyes: "But who knows... After all, with your luck, Yuuki, if you are here, even if you can't meet a real mermaid, you might meet a cursed mermaid——"

"Pah, pah, pah, Wu, stop cursing me!"

Xi Hai Qing Dou's face immediately turned pale, and he fiercely suppressed Gojo Satoru with his arms: "Isn't your curse too vicious? Come on, it's not like I can encounter cursed spirits anytime, anywhere!"

"There can't be any cursed spirits in the aquarium. That's where I work. Last time I went there, I only saw third and fourth level cursed spirits. There won't be any mermaid cursed spirits at all. Just give up, Wu!" he vowed.

“Ah, I think Satoru might be able to say this time…”

Xia Yujie couldn't help laughing: "After all, Yuki, your luck... Wu can't really be considered a curse, it's probably just a statement of fact, right?"

"Hey, Jay, whose side are you on?" Xi Haiqingdou stared at him in disbelief.

"Of course I stand on the side of facts." Xia Yujie raised his hand to show his impartiality.

"But even if there is a cursed mermaid, it will definitely not be good-looking. It will just be extremely ugly. Can such a thing really be called a 'mermaid'? It should probably be called an 'ugly mermaid'." He thought divergently.

"That's right, Yuxi, you see Jie thinks the same way. I think you should just accept your fate."

Gojo Satoru grinned, "But Jay, you are right... Wow, in that case, I still don't want to see that kind of 'mermaid', lest it hurt my eyes."

"Yuuki, your luck..."

Speaking of this, Hanayamain Haruna couldn't help but continue the topic: "I say, isn't that kind of luck really a curse? Even all my protections are useless..."

She couldn't help but wonder.

It is true that Igarashi Yuuki's bad luck is too great, and it is not just ordinary bad luck. Some people may encounter one or two small bad things in daily life, but Igarashi Yuuki never encounters them - but this does not mean that he "does not have bad luck", but that he never has bad luck in small things, and once he does, it is a big thing.

How about when he was walking down the street and suddenly several pots of flowers fell from the building and hit him on the head; when he was crossing the road, two cars were about to collide at an intersection, and he happened to be standing in the middle, and he was in a dilemma; when he was on a mission, a second-level cursed spirit turned into a first-level on the spot, and there were more than one, and they were all staring at him...

This kind of thing happened to "Igarashi Yuuki" countless times. Even though Hanayamain Haruna did not believe in it and gave him many different kinds of amulets, they never really worked. Every time she drew a fortune for "Igarashi Yuuki", it was always "bad" - but it was a completely different situation for other people.

The key is that it is actually very magical. Most of the time, it will only have a bad impact on him, and not on others. Of course, what makes people admire him even more is that no matter how unlucky he is, he can resolve it smoothly and avoid any trouble for himself.

“I’m not sure, but I remember that I had bad luck since I was a kid, and I’ve had bad luck even when I grew up. But if it’s a curse, it doesn’t make sense that neither I nor Satoru would have discovered it, right? Maybe this is really my luck.”

Saikai Haruto said, his smile carrying a bit of the youthful arrogance and youthful spirit, which was particularly attractive: "But I won't accept my fate - even if I'm so unlucky, can't I still live a good life? And live better than many people. Isn't fate something that exists to be broken by people?"

——No matter what the future holds, at least at this moment, the boy with a bright and blazing smile in front of him is indeed so convinced of this. The boy is the most fearless and sincere, and the most attractive.

Hanayamain Haruna thought, silently covering her chest - so she just likes boys like this! Who wouldn't like this kind of person!!

Hanayamain Haruna couldn't help but smile, and opened her mouth to say something -

"That's right! Why should we believe in something as unreasonable as fate?"

Gojo Satoru nodded in agreement, patted Saikai Haruto's shoulder, and put his arm around his shoulder: "Don't worry, Yuuki, we are here. No matter how unlucky you are, we will always stand by you!"

His expression was fearless and full of enthusiasm, and he looked particularly affectionate and loyal.

"As for Haruna - your defenses are completely useless. It's not Yuuki's problem at all, it's your defense problem - it must be that you didn't do your homework well." He deliberately lengthened his tone.

"Ah, me too! Don't worry, Yuuki, we will always stand by you."

Geto Suguru blinked, and then also put his arm on the other shoulder of Haruto Saikai, showing the same deep affection and friendship.

——If she hadn’t been interrupted by Gojo Satoru again, Hanayamain Haruna would have been moved.

"There won't be any problem with my defense! And at least it can help Yuuki avoid bad luck once or twice!"

Hanayamain Haruna was so angry that she almost jumped up and down——What are you doing? Why are you suddenly stepping on me? ! You are indeed Gojo Satoru!

——If he hadn’t been suppressed by the two of them and if he hadn’t known too well what these two guys were actually thinking, even Xi Hai Qing Dou would have been moved.

"Wu, and Jie!"

Xi Haiqingdou showed a touching expression on his face, but he immediately retracted it in a second, turned his face and pulled both of their arms down, saying with a disgusted tone: "Let go of me, both of you! It's so hot! I think you two want to kill me with your heat together!"

"And don't think I don't know what you two are thinking - you two are obviously looking for danger and excitement on purpose, why are you talking so corny! Get down here now!"

Gojo Satoru and Kagome Ken looked at each other.

"Yuuki, you should have an extremely emotional expression at this moment, right? Like in those soap operas, right?"

"What should I do, Satoru? It seems that Yuuki is not easy to fool. I didn't fall for it."

"And Yuuki actually rejected me - is there something wrong with the script?"

"Your acting must be terrible, right?"

"Stop arguing. Both of you are terrible at acting." Xi Haiqing Dou complained, and laughed: "Besides, this is the nth time. I have been fooled once. Will I be fooled again?"

He sneered: "And when you two said 'stand by my side', it was obvious that you were standing aside and commenting while I was exorcising the cursed spirit, right?!"

"But Haruna-san's defense is also very helpful!"

Saikai Haruto turned to Hanayamain Haruna and was very gentle and good-tempered, with a bright smile: "Last time, you helped me block several attacks from cursed spirits and saved my job. That's awesome! But it's too much trouble for Haruna-san."

"Hey, I'm glad I helped you!" Hanayamain Haruna smiled brightly.

"Hey, Haruna, what's wrong with you? Is your eye cramping?"

Unfortunately, Gojo Satoru was there to spoil the fun and add fuel to the fire: "Are you serious, Yuuki? But I saw a protective bag in Nicole's paw last time."

"Well, that one is used up!" Xi Haiqing Dou laughed awkwardly, and said, "And Nicole likes it very much, so I gave it to her. Besides, it can be used by Nicole. Nicole is also very important to me! Haruna is my best friend, I won't give Haruna's guard to anyone casually!"

——That being said, she remembered that "Nicole" should be a black cat, right? Do cats also need to be protected? Don't bully her for not knowing common sense! You unromantic bastard DK, who wants to be your "friend"!

Hanayamain Haruna's smile almost froze, and she opened her mouth but for a moment she forgot what to say.

"You change your attitude so quickly, Yuuki. Is it okay to have such double standards? You treat Haruna and Satoru and me in two different ways. It's really sad. We are all friends, right? It's not okay to treat them differently."

Xia Yujie put one hand in his pocket and smiled leisurely, "Besides, Wu and I trust and affirm your ability, so we didn't interfere."

——That’s why it’s not just “watching a show”!

Gojo Satoru followed up: "Yes, yes, just like what Jie said, that is Jie and I's trust in you, Yuki - can't you deal with those cursed spirits by yourself? No way, no way, when did you become so weak?"

When and where did this guy learn to be so weird?

Xi Hai Qing Dou was speechless: "So this is why you cheered for the cursed spirit while I was exorcising it, and you also used this as a reason to make a bet? I am really embarrassed that I won so quickly!"

"ah……"

"this……"

Gojo Satoru and Kagome Gaku looked at each other, then quickly changed the subject, smiling as if nothing had happened:

"Yuuki, you must have heard me wrong. How could we cheer for the cursed spirit? We were clearly cheering for you!"

"And you, Yuuki, obviously also participated in the betting, right? Although you always lose every time you bet."

"Ah, by the way, which direction is the aquarium? Is it here? Why haven't we arrived yet? Isn't this distance too far?"

"Stop changing the subject, you two!"

Saikai Haruto "smiled" with gritted teeth.

——So her presence is totally unnecessary in your topic and you have completely forgotten about her, right?!

Hanayamain Haruna, who failed to join in the conversation for the umpteenth time, smiled through gritted teeth.

So, do these three bastard DKs still remember that they are here to "date her"?

It turns out that the three of them probably really forgot.

In the aquarium.

"Well, where should we go first? There are three routes to choose from, and the scenery on each route is different..."

Hanayamain Haruna was thinking while holding the map.

In fact, she prefers to choose the middle route. There are dolphins and turtles in the middle, which she likes very much... However, the whales are in the third route, not in the second route. If you want to see whales, you can only choose the third route... But there is also a walrus show on the first route, which seems to be quite interesting...

Before she could think it through, Hanayamain Haruna suddenly felt that the surroundings were a little too quiet, so quiet that she felt something was not right - you know, when Gojo Satoru, Geto Suguru and Igarashi Yuki get together, they are noisier than a hundred ducks. I don't know why they always have so much to say, but there is absolutely no time for them to sit still and not talk.

At this point, according to what happened before, they should have been arguing among themselves about where to go, but now no one is saying anything?

Hanayamain Haruna raised her head in confusion.

"...Where are the people?"

Hanayamain Haruna's eyes were blank for a few seconds.

——No, where are the three people standing next to her just now? How come they suddenly disappeared? Huh? ? Wouldn’t those three bastards just leave her alone and run away? !

Ten minutes later.

"Haruna!"

"Haruna-san!"

"Haruna!"

The voices of three excited and energetic boys rang out. Hanayamain Haruna, who was walking alone on the road with a resentful look on her face, turned her head and saw the three DKs who had "disappeared" inexplicably suddenly jumped out from nowhere and waved at her happily.

Gojo Satoru complained: "So you were here. Haruna, you are really good at running. You almost scared us when you suddenly disappeared."

Saikai Haruto apologized: "I'm sorry, Haruna-san. We just saw a cursed spirit, so we went after it. I thought they told you or you knew something..."

Xia Yujie raised his lips helplessly: "Sorry, you were gone when we came back, but now we have found you again. It can be considered as our good luck for a while, right?"

Xi Haiqingdou blinked and smiled proudly: "This time, this is the route that Jie and I chose together! I think Haruna will like this route. It seems that my luck is not bad this time!"

"What? This just proves that your luck is terrible, Yuuki." Gojo Satoru muttered.

——So these three guys completely forgot about her when they saw the curse spirit just now, and they all went to exorcise the curse spirit, but no one remembered to notify her, right?

Looking at the three of them acting as if nothing had happened, Hanayamain Haruna smiled with a forced smile.

"So you three just forgot about me and chose a third route to look for me while you're having fun?"

Hanayamain Haruna said in a faint voice, "Do you still remember me if I ask you to thank me?"

"What, isn't this the second route?"

Saikai Haruto was shocked: "Does that mean there are no dolphins on this route? Damn, we took the wrong route! It must be Jay's fault for his poor sense of direction!"

"You chose this route, Yuuki. You must have chosen it right if you said you had a hunch, right?"

Xia Yujie didn't want to take the blame and immediately threw it back: "You were the one who led us to this path, Yuuki. I just provided some references."

"Hey, is this the third route?" Gojo Satoru was overjoyed: "So there are whales on this route? Woohoo! Let's go~"

So they even remembered the wrong route and chose this one? Damn, I'm even more angry. What's going on?

Hanayamain Haruna had a blank expression on her face - why did she suddenly feel like she was the one standing here in superfluous order?

Inside the cinema.

Hanayamain Haruna regained her spirits, holding onto someone to watch closely in case she suddenly disappeared, and enthusiastically choosing a movie: "There are quite a few movies, which one should we watch?"

"This one! How about "God's Whisper"? The name sounds interesting."

"This is too childish, isn't it? How can there be gods? It looks like a boring movie... I hate gods, I don't want it!"

"And this "The Wish", it looks like the curse is causing trouble, is it okay to do the mission normally, but are you going to continue watching the curse while sitting in the movie? I can't stand it at all!"

"Then let's choose this one? 'Eyes of Ashura Castle'! What do you think?"

"Yuuki, you just like Miyazawa Rie, right? It looks like an ancient movie, it seems very boring..."

"By the way, Haruna, what do you think? Which one do you choose?"

"Ah, this one looks very interesting, "I Like You"..."

"It's better to watch an animated film than this... Oh, how about we watch Pokémon?"

"Ha, this is too childish, isn't it? Wu, are you only three years old this year?"

"Choose this one! Star Wars: Episode 3! I've been so busy lately that I haven't had time to watch it yet."

The three boys chatted very quickly and soon decided what movie to watch. Although the atmosphere was wonderful, I always felt that something was not right.

Hanayamain Haruna, who hadn't been able to get a word in for a long time, thought for a long time: Damn, why did I feel like she was redundant again?

After they made their choice, the three DKs turned around and asked for Hanayamain Haruna's opinion:

"Haruna, what do you think of this movie?"

Hanayamain Haruna once again: "...Do you finally remember me?"

"This and that..."

The three DKs accidentally forgot about the person while chatting. Their eyes wandered around, looking left and right, at the sky and the ground, but they didn't look at Hanayamain Haruna.

Gojo Satoru changed the subject: "Ah, so are we going to rent out the entire theater, or sit in the lobby and watch the movie with everyone else?"

Although he had booked the entire theater before, he had never done it as "Igarashi Yuuki". Saikai Haruto's eyes lit up: "Wow, is this the rich young master? Can we book the entire theater? It feels so cool!"

"But isn't the atmosphere important when watching a movie?" Kagome, who had never booked a theater before, pondered: "For a movie like this, it would be more interesting if more people watched it, right?"

“But if there are too many people, it will be noisy and the experience will be boring, right?”

Gojo Satoru argued, "And if we rent out the entire place, we can do whatever we want and sit wherever we want."

"I think the one who was quarreling might be you, Satoru?" Geto Xia Yu and Haru Nishimi looked at each other.

——Is it confirmed that she is the extra one here?

After coming out of the cinema, Hanayamain Haruna's eyes were empty and she was lost in thought: there is always one person who is superfluous in a date with four people. After all, the triangle is the most stable shape. At first she thought the superfluous one was Gojo Satoru, but now it seems, why can't the superfluous one be her?

"Haruna-san? Haruna-san!"

Saikai Haruto smiled and waved in front of the dazed Hanayamain Haruna, "Haruna, what are you thinking about? Watch the road carefully, we are out now."

"Ah, I was thinking," Hanayamain Haruna replied in a confused manner, "So the triangle is the most stable shape, and the quadrilateral is not good enough?"
