Chapter 41: The Cherry Blossom Festival (9)
Watermelon, as one of the most popular fruits in summer, naturally has its own charm on the beach.
Although watermelons are not cheap at all in Japan at this time, after all, there is a minister in the tea ceremony department who seems to have a wealthy family.
The activity of cutting watermelons was naturally put on the agenda.
Blindfolded, Yuki clenched the bamboo knife in her hand - God knows who it was and under what circumstances she got it - and she was engrossed in steady footing to keep her bearing.
When this activity plan was proposed, it was almost unreservedly approved by the crowd present, and the few conservatives, such as Yuki and Mio, were naturally forced to participate. In the end, I don't know which hateful person proposed the plan of being the shortest to play first, so Yuki became the first to play without any suspense.
"Right now, right ahead!"
Being able to hear Ritsu's voice, although it seems to be telling the truth, Yuki just doesn't think it's credible. So she had to adjust her direction a little bit to justify the reaction of the others.
"Eh, it's wrong!"
As a result, Yui's voice made her suddenly find her way.
Laughing a little confidently, Yuki turned back to her previous direction and began to move forward, although she could hear some unfamiliar voices from the tea ceremony members, but these did not interfere with her choice.
"Arrived, turn right at this place!"
Mio's voice appeared in time, so Yuki immediately stopped again.
"Turn right ......"
She turned her right foot flat at an angle, made sure that her heel touched the side of her left foot, and walked in that direction.
But Kaoru Xueyue seemed to be planning to get involved, so before Yuki could take a few steps, he heard a voice that stirred up the situation: "No, that direction is not right!" β
ββ¦β¦ Don't listen, don't listen. β
Silently continuing in the direction Mio instructed, he heard Mio command again: "It's a little bit close." β
After taking a few more steps forward, Mio finally said, "This is it!" β
"Is it here?"
She raised the bamboo knife and was about to chop, when she suddenly heard Zi say, "It's not there!" Go a little further ahead! β
The bamboo knife that was about to fall was stuck in mid-air.
What to do?
Hesitantly straightened the bamboo knife, and Yuki simply stood in place, waiting for the next sound.
And Su Ye did continue: "Just now, Xiao Lu pretended to be Mio's voice and spoke, don't be deceived!" β
Mio's voice rang out after this: "Tsuki, what are you talking about......"
But before he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped, and when Yuki was still full of doubts, it turned into the voice of Ritsu:
"βActually expose me!"
"In front of you is in the sea, Yuki, to the left!"
"...... Left"
Yuki turned left again, and then walked all the way to Su's instructions.
"This is it!"
This time, under the command of Saku, Yuki is once again ready to swing his sword.
"-Yuki, Sukazu and Ritsu have formed a party! Don't listen to her! β
Mio spoke up again at this time.
Yuki felt like he was completely messed up: "...... What the hell is going on? β
Is it the tradition of Ritsu and Ritsu, or is Ritsu pretending to be Mio again? Why do you hardly speak?
Forget it, just swing the knife, she thought so, and decided to push harder to the left, and then, only to hear a crisp sound of "pop", the bamboo knife obviously hit something.
"What exactly is ......?"
She lifted her blindfold expectantly, and when she looked, she saw Kaoru looking at her innocently, and the bamboo knife was on her head.
Yuki said in a sobbing voice, "...... Ah, sorry. β
"Actually, it's not ......."
Kaoru moved the bamboo knife away and smiled sharply: "I don't feel it at all." β
As soon as this sentence came out, Yuki suddenly fell to his knees as if he had been hit by something: "One, I don't feel it at all, am I so weak......"
Kaoru hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no, no, no, it's just how to say it, in fact, I still feel a little bit...... Huh? Why are you standing up, wait a minute, don't run, Yuki! β
- "Who's going to play watermelon and whatever!" This kind of game is the most boring! β
Only Yuki's self-defeating cry came from afar.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"Excellent! So go ahead! β
Lifting the bamboo knife and blindfolding, this time it was Kaoru's turn to hit the watermelon.
Yuki, who was chased back, sat aside and drank a drink silently, looking like he didn't plan to participate anymore.
Su apologized on the side, because in fact, except for Mio, Ritsu, and only she did form an accomplice. Of course, they were only going to point in the wrong direction, and hitting Kaoru really wasn't the intention.
Not far away, Kaoru, who was carrying a bamboo knife, secretly revealed a treacherous smile.
"I've been waiting for this moment for a long time, Minister of Pastoral Affairs."
She whispered to herself, "Today is the time for me to take revenge." β
After that, she didn't listen to the instructions of the people around her, and walked straight in the opposite direction to the watermelon.
This overly straightforward language of action made everyone understand her intentions, so the shouts disappeared, and everyone looked at Makibe Tianyin, who was sitting quietly in place.
In the middle of the night, Tianyin spoke:
"Xueyue, your purpose is too clear."
Kaoru was stunned when he heard this, and then turned around on the spot: "No, minister, I'm looking for watermelons, really!" β
Tianyin was silent again, she seemed to be thinking about something, and thenβ
- "Watermelon words, to the right." β
Began to command.
Kaoru's original smile immediately froze on her face.
Ritsu touched her chin and commented: "...... It turns out that there is still this trick, the Minister of the Tea Ceremony, it's not simple! β
"Take advantage of the opponent's clumsy lies to force the opponent to do what he said before, and if he doesn't turn to the right, then the antipathy will be unmistakable."
Yuki also refueled while sipping on his drink.
ββ¦β¦ It's amazing! β
The one who said this was Yui who didn't understand it at all.
Not far away, Kaoru trembled his hands, turned to the right, stopped in place, and finally, simply turned left:
"There's no way, since you've seen through it, then I'll have to fight against the water!"
With that, he raised his wooden knife and rushed out shouting.
The smell of gunpowder filled the beach, and everyone held their breath as they watched Kaoru and Tenne's movements.
Kaoru's dash sent white sand to the sky, and she dragged the wooden knife to slash the air, and then, suddenlyβ
- Touching the white sand of the ground.
Tianyin just quietly moved two steps to the side, and then dodged lightly.
PS: In boredom, I actually found a chapter to save the manuscript, so I threw it up.
PS again: I said in "Family Affairs" that I didn't update it because of the college entrance examination, but we changed hands and ran to open a fantasy with a trumpet, but no one has seen it...... What, if the recommended clicks over there can go up a little bit - maybe we'll find a few more chapters to save the manuscript? There's still a lot of stuff to look for, right?
The title of the book is "Chopping the Dao Court", don't force it if you don't like fantasy.
