Chapter 44
Although he is said to be incomparable, he is actually not much better than her.
Akimi Nakamori looked at the film, and a faint sadness emanated from his whole body.
"Is my face really this big and square?"
Keigo Atobe, who was riding the horse in front of her, was a little confused. He turned around and held the camera close to her face. After careful comparison, he came to a conclusion.
"You're not very photogenic, Nakamori."
Nakamori Akimi, who is not photogenic, but not that unphotogenic: "Maybe it's the camera? After all, you don't take pictures with a camera all year round."
“Maybe it would be better to take a picture with your phone?”
Atobe Keigo thought for a moment, turned on the camera function of his mobile phone, stretched out his arm towards himself, and the camera showed them riding on horses one after the other.
"Nakamori, look this way."
As Keigo Atobe finished speaking, Akimi Nakamori subconsciously met Keigo Atobe's gaze on the phone.
With a "click", the camera freezes perfectly.
This was her first photo with Keigo Atobe, taken by him personally.
"It's really the camera's fault. When you shoot it this way, your face looks normal."
Atobe Keigo looked at the finished film and nodded with satisfaction. It turned out that it was not a problem with his technique.
No, it's a matter of things being bigger when they're closer and smaller when they're farther away. Also, she looked so dumb in the photo (┯_┯)
After receiving the photo, Nakamori Akimi compared the distance between the two of them and complained in his heart with extreme indifference.
"You're pretty good at taking selfies, Atobe. Have you practiced?"
His technique is surprisingly pretty good, could it be that he practiced specifically to present himself perfectly?
The more Nakamori Akimi thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was very reasonable.
"I learned a little bit in my third year of junior high school."
Just at this moment, the carousel stopped. Atobe Keigo put away his phone, turned over and got off the horse. His movements were quite handsome.
Although Nakamori Akimi's motor nerves are not very developed and she cannot do it like Atobe Keigo, she is tall and can easily descend such a height. This is how it should be.
Ding Dong, the romantic carousel ride is coming to an end. What should you do next?
A: Just jump down. Be careful as you might sprain your ankle.
B: Go down slowly on the pedals. Be careful as you might slip and fall.
C: Seek help from your companions. The moment your fingertips touch is a heart-warming signal.
Is this an option? Those people are trying to get her into the hospital! She knew she wouldn't have a peaceful day today.
No matter how useless she is, she wouldn't fall off a carousel!
"Come down."
Just when Nakamori Akimi was speechless, Atobe Keigo reached out to her and made the choice for her.
"Atobe, you really are a good person."
Nakamori Akimi was moved and took his hand. Suddenly, a "click" sound was heard, and a huge CG appeared in front of the two of them.
The girl on horseback lowered her head and her soft gaze fell on the man who was holding her hand. When their eyes exchanged, even the background around them was filled with pink bubbles.
[The moment your fingertips touch is a heartbeat signal. Congratulations on unlocking the Heartbeat CG, and your strategy value +10. Don't worry, Ms. Nakamori, this is just a CG, it doesn't trigger the plot.]
Then a message alert sounded from Akimi Nakamori's phone. When she opened it after landing, she found that the system had actually sent her the CG.
"This shot is even worse than yours, Atobe. You can't even see his face. This isn't the way a blur player would blur."
Nakamori Akimi closed his phone and decided to turn a blind eye.
"Of course, my skills are beyond its reach. Where do you want to go next?"
Without the interference of the system, you can of course go wherever you want.
"Let's go shooting. I have some experience in this area."
As this is the only sports activity he is good at, Nakamori Akimi is quite confident.
"oh?"
Atobe Keigo raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised.
***
"I hit five out of ten. I've never shot so hard..."
Such bad results?
Atobe Keigo frowned
"...Such great results!"
Nakamori Akimi looked at her hands in disbelief. In the past, hitting two out of ten shots was considered a good result.
"Hmph, not bad."
Well, for her, this result is not too bad.
"Just good? I think I've performed beyond my expectations." Regardless, Nakamori Akimi was very satisfied with himself. "Atobe, do you want to give it a try? You just watch me play. Isn't it boring?"
"I have no interest in this kind of thing."
Then Nakamori Akihime watched Atobe Keigo play balloons for half an hour.
This shot is not as accurate as hers...
Nakamori Akimi sat on the stall next to him with his face in his hands, watching Atobe Keigo with an expressionless face as he missed the target one shot after another, and then looked at the boss next to him whose face was almost broken with laughter.
Why bother, Atobe? You know that shooting for entertainment purposes like this is always skewed.
A half-baked person like Nakamori Akimi might be able to get it by luck, but a professionally trained person like Atobe Keigo would suffer a great loss.
Just when Nakamori Akimi was so bored that he yawned, he finally gave up.
"Did you have fun?"
Nakamori Akimi pushed the ordered drink to Keigo Atobe who was sitting down and asked casually.
"Not bad."
Atobe Keigo, who was tricked by a black-hearted merchant, actually looked in good spirits. He picked up the drink and took a sip, and the depression in his heart temporarily dissipated a little.
Everything that happened these days has been piling up in my heart, and I just need a way to vent it.
"Go bungee jumping?"
Once people start to vent, they want to find something exciting.
"No, I'm afraid of cardiac arrest. You'll have to collect my body then." Nakamori Akimi really has a traumatic experience with bungee jumping. "But I can give the roller coaster a try."
So I went to ride the roller coaster.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh—”
The screams that came one after another reflected Nakamori Akihime's current state very well, but she was now in a state of further silent screaming.
The more excited you are before getting on the bus, the more regretful you will be after getting off.
Rather than walking down, a more accurate statement would be that she was carried down by Keigo Atobe.
And compared to her embarrassment, Atobe Keigo actually had the leisure to tidy up his hair. In this situation, Nakamori Akimi suddenly remembered an anime.
"Atobe, do you know Sakamoto?"
"What?"
Atobe Keigo stopped moving in confusion.
"No, nothing."
She just asked casually. Someone like Keigo Atobe probably doesn't watch anime at all.
"I can't do it anymore. I need to rest for a while."
Nakamori Akimi wiped the sweat off her forehead and her whole body became limp like a puddle of water. If it wasn't so unsightly, she would have wanted to collapse directly on the ground.
"Wait here."
Someone, feeling refreshed, brought her a bottle of life-saving water. After drinking half a bottle, Nakamori Akimi felt alive again.
"Are you really not tired, Atobe?"
Nakamori Akimi sincerely asked the athletic boy a question. They had been strolling around the park for three hours since they entered it. Isn't Atobe Keigo a little too energetic?
"You're already tired at this level. It just means you need to exercise, Nakamori." Atobe Keigo looked her over thoughtfully. "How did you pass the physical education test before?"
"It's a comprehensive assessment. You don't need to work too hard to pass it."
Nakamori Akimi spread his hands and said it lightly, subconsciously forgetting the memory of himself who had a hard time running.
"So, you're not hopeless."
Atobe Keigo sat down, and his tall body blocked most of the light for her, so that when Nakamori Akimi looked at him, the first thing she noticed was his eyelashes, which were reflected golden by the sunlight.
So long...
Nakamori Akimi turned his head as if nothing had happened and looked at the rotating chair not far away.
"Go sit on that one. Every time I sit on it, I feel like I'm flying. It's super comfortable."
This is her must-do item at the amusement park.
However, they ultimately failed to succeed because 5744 came out to cause trouble again.
As a must-do for a date at the amusement park, the haunted house's spooky, dimly lit environment is the perfect choice for sparking romance. Given the system's suggestions, what would you choose?
A: Give up the carousel and go to the haunted house.
B: Go to the haunted house first and then go to the carousel.
Is she going to quit acting now? Do you really want her to go to a haunted house?
Nakamori Akimi was speechless. She wanted to see what would happen in the haunted house.
***
The designer of this haunted house is definitely a true paranormal enthusiast. The crooked wooden door, the mold-covered walls that leave your hands covered in black dust, and the faint sound of scary nursery rhymes—every detail is enough to make you feel uneasy.
In such a dark space, only the small lamp in Nakamori Akimi's hand was flashing faintly. It was their only source of light.
"I always feel like something's going to jump out from behind me." The cold wind from the air conditioner here sent a chill down Nakamori Akimi's spine. She kept looking back, fearing someone might attack her. "Atobe, this is comparable to the sunny doll you set up on the day of the Test of Courage."
The level of terror has skyrocketed.
"Sunny doll?" Atobe Keigo stopped, a little confused. "What sunny doll?"
"Don't you know? It was that day..."
Before Nakamori Aki could finish his words, an unknown black shadow suddenly jumped out, along with two young lovers being chased.
“Ahhhhhhhhh—”
The shrill screams completely drowned out the voice of Akihiro Nakamori. They rolled and crawled towards this side, but suddenly tripped as they ran over. The weight of two adults pressed directly onto Keigo Atobe.
Things happened so quickly that Keigo Atobe didn't have time to react before he rushed towards Akihiro Nakamori.
No way, no wonder the journey was smooth. Was he waiting for her here?
Nakamori Akimi subconsciously reached out to catch him, but she really couldn't support his weight and was forced to retreat. Fortunately, Atobe Keigo had well-developed motor nerves and supported the wall in time, preventing the person trapped in the middle from becoming a meat patty.
“Ah ...!”
After a flurry of apologies, the couple fled quickly hand in hand, and they were the only two left here again.
I don't know which one to feel sorry for...
However, the way they are now is a very standard wall-dong position.
Nakamori Akimi quietly raised his eyes, and the blurry face of Atobe Keigo, which was originally hidden in the darkness, gradually became clear. The flickering light shone on his face, and under the folding shadows, there was a magical and magnificent feeling.
"Atobe."
Nakamori Akimi spoke softly.
"Um?"
"Don't you think the current atmosphere is suitable for doing something?"
The surroundings fell into silence again. She stared at the people, and the swaying lights became even hotter in her eyes.
Atobe Keigo was silent for a moment, then slowly lowered his eyes and suddenly laughed softly:
"Nakamori Akimi, you're really brave."
