Chapter 39
"Qiushi——"
Seeing that the man was about to pounce on him, Nakamori Akimi's adrenaline surged. He grabbed his hand and swung it hard, spinning him around in circles. Then he held his hand and shouted before he could react:
"cousin!"
“…Huh?”
Shiraishi Kuranosuke responded in a daze and daze.
"What? It's my cousin..."
Seeing this, the onlookers immediately turned their eyes away in boredom, and the security guard who had come slowly also left leisurely.
Seeing this, Nakamori Akimi quickly pulled Shiraishi Kuranosuke over, took a step forward, and pulled him out of the school at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.
"Qiushi?"
Shiraishi Kuranosuke finally reacted and spoke in confusion. Although he had many questions, he still followed her obediently.
He was so docile, so docile that even Nakamori Akimi couldn't bear to lie to him.
"Shiraishi Kuranosuke, huh?"
In an empty corner, Nakamori Akimi finally stopped. She pushed the person into the alley, calmed her pounding heart, and spoke with a heavy face.
"Akira...Shi?"
Having never seen her like this before, Shiraishi Kuranosuke spoke in surprise and doubt.
"No, I'm not Nakamori Akimi."
[Ms. Nakamori?]
When she opened her mouth, even 5744 was blown out, but Nakamori Akimi had no time to pay attention to it at this time.
"What do you mean?" Shiraishi Kuranosuke asked with a puzzled look on his face. "Akimi, are you angry that I haven't come to see you for so long?"
Cousin and this again, are you angry and throwing a tantrum?
"To be precise, I'm another Nakamori Akimi." Nakamori Akimi continued her performance with a strong sense of conviction. "You know, this is a game world. I'm Nakamori Akimi in this game world. The one who conquered you is the player Nakamori Akimi. She made a deal with this world so that you can rekindle your memories and continue your relationship with her."
Nakamori Akimi's expression was so serious that it didn't seem fake. The whole atmosphere began to grow tense. Shiraishi Kuranosuke swallowed unconsciously and asked in a tight voice, "What deal?"
"She exchanged the energy she had accumulated over the years for a bottle of Ocean Tears."
"Tears of the Ocean?"
Shiraishi Kuranosuke subconsciously reached into his pocket and took out the bottle of "Tears of the Ocean".
"Yes, that's it!" Nakamori Akimi pointed at it and muttered, "It's because of it that you can retain your memories in this new round. It's also because of it that my other self overdrained energy and temporarily fell into a deep sleep."
"Sleeping?" Shiraishi Kuranosuke's expression gradually became serious, with deep worry in his eyes. "Then how can I save her?"
This is too sensible.
Nakamori Akimi was secretly delighted, but he didn't show it on his face. "You only need to do one thing."
"What is it? I'm willing to do anything to save Qiushi!"
Shiraishi Kuranosuke clenched his hands, inexplicably aroused.
It was a bit strange, and Nakamori Akimi felt a little awkward, but seeing victory was in sight, she didn't take it to heart.
"Just drop a drop of this bottle of Ocean Tears into the bitter melon juice. After you drink it, she will wake up."
"Bitter melon juice? I got it!" Shiraishi Kuranosuke said with a determined look, "For Akimi, I'm definitely going to eat this bitter melon!"
Did you believe her so easily?
Nakamori Akimi felt unreal.
Although it is good that the process went smoothly, it was too smooth, which made Nakamori Akimi doubt Shiraishi Kuranosuke's IQ.
"Then let's go find bitter melon juice now!"
Never mind, let’s get him to drink first.
"Wait, Qiu Shi, it might not be possible today." Shiraishi Kuranosuke held her back, scratching his head in distress with his other hand. "This bottle of Ocean Tears is fake. I asked my teammates to keep the real one for me."
"Fake?" Nakamori Akimi carefully observed the bottle of Ocean Tears in Shiraishi Kuranosuke's hand and found something amiss. "Why would you bring a fake one out with you?"
Between extreme joy and sorrow, Nakamori Akimi was almost so angry that he coughed up blood.
"This thing is too fragile. I was afraid of breaking the only thing you left me, but I also wanted to carry it with me all the time, so I bought this from someone. Doesn't it look very similar?"
Shiraishi Kuranosuke raised the fake bottle in his hand and shook it, with a hint of wanting to take credit for it.
“…”
Could this fake bottle be the one that Atobe specially hired to make?
Is this a boomerang?
Nakamori Akimi was so upset that he didn't want to talk anymore.
"But don't worry, Qianye and the others will be here tonight, and tomorrow we can go and rescue another Qiushi."
"tomorrow?"
"By the way, Qiushi, come watch my game tomorrow. We have a practice match scheduled with Qingxue, and you'll be able to see my handsome swing then."
Shiraishi Kuranosuke made a handsome "8" gesture and winked at her.
Nakamori Akimi took a deep breath and gave an awkward but polite smile.
Is this guy just a little bit mentally deficient, or is he just broken?
Or is it just the natural talent of the people of Osaka?
"Sei Gakuen?" Nakamori Akimi said expressionlessly, "I will go, but I have to give you a heads-up."
"What?"
Shiraishi Kuranosuke listened with an innocent look on his face.
"The person who's after you and I have two different personalities. It's true that she likes you, but I also have someone I like."
“Eh…Eh?!”
After all, he had a somewhat normal reaction. Nakamori Akimi looked at his wide-open eyes and felt a strange comfort in his heart.
"And that person happens to be from Qingxue."
Come on, let her see whether this guy is really stupid or just pretending to be stupid.
"Who is it?" Shiraishi Kuranosuke was horrified. "Could it be... Tezuka?"
Huh? He's still guessing?
"Yes, he and I are getting closer, so I hope you won't act like you know me well tomorrow. I'm afraid he'll misunderstand."
Nakamori Akimi told him very readily and began to plan for tomorrow.
"Fuji?"
Strangely, Shiraishi Kuranosuke suddenly put away his exaggerated sad expression, as if he was relieved.
"It's Fuji. Fuji is indeed a good person." Shiraishi Kuranosuke stroked his chin and said seriously.
What's the meaning?
Now Cheng Zhongsen Qiushi was dumbfounded.
Why is this the reaction?
"Don't worry, Qiushi. I will cooperate with you tomorrow and will never reveal my true intentions in front of Fuji! I can even assist you and help you two become a bond!"
Shiraishi Kuranosuke clenched his fist and hammered it into his palm, his thoughtfulness shocking.
Is she dreaming?
Nakamori Akimi pinched himself silently.
Hiss, it hurts! So, this guy is really stupid!
"Well, you don't have to cooperate so much."
Nakamori Akimi's tone was dry and stiff. She was at her wit's end. In a sense, Shiraishi Kuranosuke was probably the most difficult one to deal with.
"I have to go now. You should leave too. It won't be good if someone sees us. Bye."
Unable to cope with this type of situation, she ran away in a hurry.
"Goodbye, Qiushi, see you tomorrow!"
Shiraishi Kuranosuke took a few steps forward and waved goodbye to Nakamori Akimi's back.
"So you're really angry, so you want to vent your anger in this way? You're obviously avoiding Fuji." Shiraishi Kuranosuke muttered to himself as he watched her leave, "But, Akishi is so cute when he talks nonsense seriously--"
The person who twisted his heart into a ball successfully received the caring looks from others.
"Ah! Damn it, I haven't exchanged contact information with Qiushi yet!"
Shiraishi Kuranosuke suddenly remembered and roared to the sky, which attracted another wave of attention.
He is a good-looking person, so why is there something wrong with his brain?
***
Nakamori Akimi, who left in a hurry, didn't walk far and stopped after turning a corner.
She called the driver to tell him her location, and while waiting she received a message from Kirihara Akaya.
[Rikkai University's English Assassin: Nakamori-senpai! I finished my exam, and I've never felt so comfortable with English before. I feel like I can definitely pass! (Full of confidence.jpg)]
[Nakamori-senpai: Then I congratulate you in advance//(^v^)]
[Rikkai University's English Assassin: Thank you, Senior! Senior, are you really not free on Saturday? What about Sunday? Are you free too? I'm so grateful for your guidance, please give me a chance to repay you!]
[Nakamori-senpai: Sorry, Kirihara-kun, I'm not free this weekend. The idea of a reward is a bit exaggerated. As long as Kirihara-kun's results live up to the hard work he's put in these days, that will be the best thank you.]
While he was sending messages, the driver drove over. After Nakamori Akimi got in the car, before he had time to check Kirihara Akaya's reply, a text message from Atobe Keigo arrived.
She subconsciously clicked into the chat box.
[Bitter Melon King: How is your cousin?]
Cousin? Nakamori Akimi blinked, understanding everything.
[Nakamori Akimi: You've been watching all this time, Atobe?]
[Bitter Melon King: With all that noise, it's hard not to see it, right?]
[Nakamori Akimi: Don't worry, my cousin is okay, just a little bit clueless. If it weren't for the accident, I could have helped him recover today. Unfortunately, we have to wait until they finish their competition tomorrow.]
[Bitter Melon King: It seems you have made all the necessary preparations. I will wait and see.]
[Nakamori Akimi: We'll see. (Atobe hands over flowers.jpg)]
[Bitter Melon King: ...Where did you get this emoticon?]
[Nakamori Akimi: I'm not in a position to reveal that, but I can show you the others.]
She sent a few more in a row.
[King Bitter Melon: It was given to you by Oshitsuki and the others, a bunch of unglamorous guys.]
Then Nakamori Akimi received a complete set of high-definition emoticons of Atobe Keigo, each of which was so clear that it was terrifying.
[Bitter Melon King: It's too blurry, it detracts from my beauty, please change it.]
Akimi Nakamori: Pupil earthquake.
I knew he was narcissistic, but I didn't expect him to be this narcissistic.
Nakamori Akimi sighed while downloading frantically.
[Nakamori Akimi: Received successfully. I'll share it with Mukai and the others shortly, so they can all admire Atobe-sama's beauty. (Atobe Beauty Critical Attack.jpg)]
They chatted for a while, and when they were done, Nakamori Akimi suddenly remembered someone she had forgotten. She was about to reply when someone called her the next second.
"Fuji?"
Amidst the urgent ringing of the phone, Nakamori Akimi quickly pressed the answer button. Never mind, it wouldn't hurt to wait a little longer. She'd better listen to what Fuji wanted to talk to her about first.
"Nakamori, when did Shiraishi become your cousin?"
...Huh?
Could it be that Shiraishi Kuranosuke is really going to ask Fuji Shusuke for help?
