213. Night talk between men
The four of them played cards in Genji Takatsuki's room until it was dark, and then they went out to dinner together.
In the end, the person at the bottom of the UNO competition was Karasawa Takasaki, and it was natural for him to treat everyone's supper - it was actually Takatsuki Genji who lost, but Takazawa Taka was probably a little afraid that the former big brother would get angry and flip the table after losing, so he simply let him go.
The four of them went to a nearby ramen shop, and each of them ordered a ramen set.
Wano people seem to have a high obsession with "carbs" on some occasions, and often like to make carb bomb sets such as "ramen with rice" or "fried rice with dumplings".
Looking at other people's "ramen with rice and dumplings" top set meals, Makoto Kyushu's "ramen with chicken skewers" combination is a bit of an outlier.
However, the other three people didn't feel much surprise, and they didn't dare to laugh at Kyushu Makoto at will. After all, Kyushu Cheng has become extremely abnormal since the May Day Golden Week, and they all know this kind of thing.
At least today's Brother Kyushu, as a strong man, is magnanimous, no longer caring about the heinous mistakes they made before, nor is he ready to send them into the abyss, but giving them a chance to correct their mistakes, which is enough gratitude for them.
During the meal, the four of them chatted about their summer vacation plans, and then talked about the future arrangements - although the four of them are only sophomores in high school, they are not small, and they have reached the point of filling in volunteers in different classes.
"Ahh I can't think of it, what will I do in the future~" Yuhito Suzuki put his head on his hands and sighed:
"Unexpected, totally unexpected! I just want to go back and beat my new game! ”
"If only I could become a lawyer or something!" Tang Zegui will absorb all the noodles, pour all the rice into the soup, mix it into chazuke and drink it all:
"When I watched "Legal Heroes" before, I felt that the profession of a lawyer was really handsome!"
"Isn't that nonsense? The lawyer who played the lawyer in that TV series was Takuya Kimura! Yuhito Suzuki asked suspiciously:
"Something is wrong, how can you go to watch such a serious TV series?"
"Ah, when I was looking for the subject of the Investigator before. I found this drama by chance" General Tang Zegui scratched his oily cheeks and said embarrassedly:
"How can I say it, I was completely fascinated after watching one episode, so I watched it all in one go~haha~"
"It's you~" Yuhito Suzuki sighed and asked again:
"Brother Takatsuki, do you have any plans for the future?"
“.” Genji Takatsuki was just playing with his phone, as if he hadn't heard his question.
"Takatsuki-san?" Yuhito Suzuki opened his mouth to remind.
"Oh" Genji Takatsuki raised his head and replied casually: "I didn't think about it." ”
"What about Kyushu-san?" In order to continue the conversation, Yuhito Suzuki shifted the topic to the next person.
"Me? I want to open a martial arts hall in Tokyo. Kyushu replied without thinking.
If it had been placed in the past, Kyushu Cheng would have been more confident in saying this. But since he learned that there are ghosts and demons in this world, "martial arts" seems to have become less important.
No. Martial arts are still in demand. The so-called martial arts, to put it bluntly, is the technique of the weak to protect themselves from the strong. Even if it is not omnipotent, even in the face of monsters that humans cannot match, martial arts can help the weak to gain a chance of survival.
Kyushu Makoto was able to save Lianggong Tsubaki from the hands of the hunting knife before, didn't he also rely on martial arts?
As the soul killer of Yin Yang Liao, Kyushu Cheng's main combat method is still martial arts, but it needs to be combined with some special spirit removal props to defeat monsters more efficiently.
What's more, even if there are no youkai in this world, there are guns, ammunition, and artillery, each of which is not comparable to martial arts. But even so, no one would say that "martial arts" are useless, right?
"That's right, I'll open a martial arts hall here in the future." Makoto Kyushu repeated it again.
No matter how many ghosts, snakes, and gods there are in this world, "martial arts" are still needed by everyone. Because martial arts is where Makoto's strength lies and his spiritual pillar, he wants to share this treasure with more people.
"Eh~ This ideal is really interesting~" Yuhito Suzuki exclaimed: "But what genre does Kyushu classmate use?" ”
"Hmm" this question is stumped by Makoto Kyushu.
On the surface, he uses the "unlimited martial arts" taught to him by his master, but his martial arts are more like a collection of the strengths of a hundred schools, mixing everything a little, and pursuing the practicality of doing everything, and it is difficult to report a resounding name.
"Could it be a noisy technique, right?" Tang Zegui will reason.
The "noisy technique" of Wano Country is directly translated as "dry fighting", that is, the technique of ruffians or gangsters fighting with others, there is no fixed routine, basically more ruthless and courageous than who starts.
Being said like this, Kyushu Makoto also felt that his martial arts were somewhat similar to the noisy arts, but he was absolutely unwilling to admit that his martial arts were the same as the brave and ruthless techniques of the gangsters.
Because it's too difficult to explain, Kyushu Makoto doesn't plan to continue talking to them on this topic, lest he accidentally say something after talking too much, and even say the "crossing" that he hasn't yet figured out the principle.
"Speaking of which, there's one thing I've been concerned about lately." Kyushu Makoto simply changed the topic and was ready to talk about his recent confusion:
"I've recently suddenly felt that it's really confusing to get along with girls."
"What's wrong, Kyushu-san?" Yuhito Suzuki, who is in love with the military advisor, suddenly became interested, and the other two also put down their chopsticks and listened silently on the side.
"I'm actually thinking, do Sister Yachuan and Sister Mizuhashi like me?" Makoto Kyushu crossed his fingers with his hands and propped himself up on the table solemnly.
"Oh?!" Suzuki Yuhito inexplicably had a premonition that he was facing a great enemy, but he still pretended to be calm and asked with a smile:
"Why do Kyushu-san think so?"
If it was Tang Zegui who said these words to him, he would definitely laugh at this little fat man's whimsy. If Takatsuki-san had said these things to him, he would probably have been pleasantly surprised by the blossoming of the iron tree of the former big brother.
But to say this is Kyushu Makoto. He is the one who is indifferent to even being output by the girl's face, but he still dislikes the girl's force value is too low, and feels that he has been taken advantage of Kyushu Cheng!
In terms of love, Kyushu Cheng is like a giant beast who insists on going his own way, obviously has such a strong boyfriend power, but he will only run towards the road in front of him, and he will not look at the girl next to him at all.
"Both of them offered me to hang out alone, and then kissed me, and although it wasn't a mouth-to-mouth kiss, I think it was more than a friend." Kyushu Cheng thought about it for a while and analyzed it carefully:
"Plus is it possible that they did get helped by me before, and then they got closer to me, I mean, is it possible that they didn't see me as a friend, but wanted to fall in love with me?"
Yuhito Suzuki's heart couldn't help but sweat, and then he suddenly realized that both of them had become so proactive.
Although Makoto Kyushu is very slow about feelings, he is not a fool. The girl took the initiative to invite him out on a date and offered a fragrant kiss, and then it went on to kiss mouth-to-mouth and then roll the sheets, all to this point, Kyushu Cheng couldn't be completely unaware of each other's feelings.
"So Kyushu-san, assuming that they really like Ling, what are you going to do?" Yuhito Suzuki pretended to be curious and asked:
"Of course, there is no other meaning, just curiosity to ask~"
"How do you say it" Makoto Kyushu frowned in confusion, and after thinking for a moment, he made up his mind:
"They are all good girls now, but it is not their fault that they really don't meet my requirements in some aspects, so I will take the initiative to find out the relationship with them, refuse their confessions and apologize."
What's more, Makoto Kyushu now knows that there are still monsters in this world, which can be described as dangerous. If you don't find a girlfriend who is strong enough, do you want him to cry because of his lack of ability in the future?
Rather than taking chances that such a tragedy will not happen, it is better to cut off the possibility from the start.
"Ahem." Yuhito Suzuki wanted to drink some water to suppress the shock, but he was choked.
Sure enough, Brother Kyushu will definitely answer like this, this is his wonderful view of love, which is both gentle and cruel, and he can't bear to correct it, and he can't bear to correct it.
"So you think they like me?" Makoto Kyushu asked with a calm face, seemingly unconcerned about the answer.
"That. I think so" Yuhito Suzuki's heart suddenly fluttered and beat very fast, like walking on a tightrope, and just saying the wrong word would ruin the happiness of several people:
"Actually. It should just be a way for them to show their friendship. ”
“!!” Tang Zegui was taken aback, and just wanted to refute something, but was glared at by Suzuki Yuren with eager eyes, so he didn't dare to speak.
"Friendship. Are girls in Tokyo so bold? Kyushu Makoto pinched his chin and groaned.
"Yes, yes! That's how girls are in Tokyo! Yuhito Suzuki hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his shoulders and said:
"They are willing to treat you like this, they must treat you as an extremely close friend, but they are still some way from becoming lovers! So, Kyushu students don't have to think too much, just continue to get along with them with the mentality of friends! ”
"Is that so?" Makoto Kyushu was skeptical.
"Think about it, the reason why the Mizuhashi school girl kissed you is just to get light materials! Haha, of course, she also trusts you enough to be willing to do this kind of thing to you. Yuhito Suzuki hurriedly explained:
"As for Senior Sister Yachuan. She's a bit of a little devil in the first place, and she likes to be bad, right? She might just want to tease you, absolutely nothing special! ”
"So you mean I shouldn't talk to them about it?" Makoto Kyushu asked solemnly.
"That's right! They only think of you as a good friend, and if you suddenly say those things to them, how can they understand? Suzuki Yuhito persuaded seriously:
"Don't be impulsive, Kyushu classmates, you must keep a normal heart!"
"That's right, that's right!" General Tang Ze also understood the atmosphere, nodded and agreed: "Everyone is a friend, don't think too much!" ”
Genji Takatsuki always put on an absent-minded and indifferent attitude, staring at the news on the TV in the restaurant.
In the end, under the persuasion of Suzuki and Tang Ze, Makoto Kyushu finally believed that the two girls just regarded themselves as close friends and had nothing to do with love.
And Suzuki Yuhito also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he still had to rely on himself to protect everything that was calm and beautiful. At least he helped Mizuhashi to buy time to continue to grow and grow, and didn't let her be beaten to death with a stick now.
Everyone settled the bill in a cheerful atmosphere and made an appointment to come out together at the summer festival later.
Suzuki and Karasawa headed home to the west and north, respectively, while Makoto Kyushu and Genji Takatsuki happened to drop by.
Along the way, the two didn't talk anything, just walked side by side silently.
When they got on the train, the two found an empty spot and could sit side by side.
The boy next to him, who probably combed his big back and had a rebellious face in order to imitate the movie role, almost anyone would think he was a bad boy at first glance.
If he hadn't been taught a lesson by "Chen Jiuzhou", he would still be a problem student who is like social garbage and takes pleasure in bullying others.
But who would have thought that he was actually a rising baseball star touted by the media in middle school?
"That's right, Takatsuki-san." Probably very concerned, Kyushu Cheng took the initiative to ask:
"You used to be good at baseball, right? It seems that he is still called a six-pointed star seed player by the media. ”
"Oh, that's right." Genji Takatsuki was stunned for a moment and nodded calmly.
Kyushu Makoto stared at him for a while and asked, "Then why did you give up now?" Can you tell me? ”
“.” Genji Takatsuki tilted his head, looking like he didn't want to say.
But in the face of the Kyushu Makoto who completely conquered him, he still replied in a low voice: "Mom died, I don't want to fight." ”
"That's right," Makoto Kyushu sighed, and then asked, "But is there any connection between the two?" ”
"It doesn't matter, I just don't want to fight." Genji Takatsuki turned his head and put on a helpless stinky face:
"You're not trying to persuade me to go back, are you?"
"No, I won't advise you." Makoto Kyushu shook his head:
"Just because you're talented doesn't mean you have to do it, and being good at baseball isn't a reason to play baseball. It's better to say that if you have something you really want to do, even if you don't have the talent for it, you'll give it your all. ”
“.” Genji Takatsuki bent his back and pondered for a moment, and inadvertently bent his mouth and smiled: "Yes. That's right. ”
"Because my family died, I wasn't in the mood to play baseball, and this idea is understandable~" Seiichi Kyushu slapped Genji Takatsuki on the shoulder, and his strength was a little big:
"I'm not going to say something boring like "Your mother doesn't want you to give up baseball," because I probably don't understand your pain. But I hope you won't at least pass this pain on to other innocent people, can you promise me? ”
Genji Takatsuki glanced at Makoto Kyushu with a complicated gaze, and only nodded deeply after a long time: "Well, I know." ”
When the train arrived, the two got up and separated.
