In addition to giving Arima a rough framework plan for the open-air movie to cooperate with the Summer Night Festival, Asama also sent Arima a navigation applet for cultural festival activities produced by Komaba, which has been controlled for a round, and suggested that he arrange for people to test it on the mobile phone, the school's multimedia screen, and the navigation robot application today.

There are only 2 days left before the opening of the cultural festival, and the plan for the night after the festival needs to be improved, the navigation program docking test needs to be followed up, plus the backlog of work that needs to be handled urgently by the student union itself. With Arima Yoshiyan's temperament, he will definitely add a large shift tonight and try to finish all these things.

According to the principle of working in the previous life [who asserts, who proves, who is responsible], Arima's overtime, director Asama still water should have to bear a little responsibility.

But if you run directly over and point fingers at the work of the student union, what are those rumors [British and black hands] and [the darkness of the student union] are not immediately confirmed?

So, Asama contacted Takishima and Ryuzaki and asked them to help Arima get some sleep.

Of course, this is not the generosity of others, Asama made a deal with Takishima and Ryuzaki.

It's a blank check though.

The phone in his pocket vibrates, and it's a message from Tetsuya Takishima.

"The great teacher really has great powers (), and Ryuzaki, who was sent by you to volunteer in the student union, is simply a tool man No. 2 Arimayoshihiko *(())*."

But at least they're a little bit human, unlike you.

Having said that,

Ryuzaki, who has been following the student council, finally has the opportunity to contribute his strength this time.

Arima, who has been working overtime, will probably be able to go home early today.

This feeling of being a bridge to communicate with each other is like a Chinese persuasion with Saudi Arabia and Iran, which is much happier than being a wingman.

In addition, Arima Yoshihiko is not a superman, and it can be seen from the fact that he will catch a cold when he falls into the water, and he will have dark circles under his eyes when he stays up late.

There used to be rumors in the student union that someone was working overtime at school until the early hours of the morning, and he had to ride a shared bicycle home when there was no subway. Asama dares to pack a ticket, this person must be Arima. It's hard to imagine what it's like to ride 25 kilometers home in the early hours of the morning, sleep a little to deliver newspapers and milk, and then take the subway for 1 hour back to school.

In fact, Arima Yoshihiko doesn't need to be so tired at all, because the school will provide free dormitories for the top students in the grade.

I don't know if there are too many lovely sisters in his family, so he is reluctant to live in the school.

After more contact with the immortal river and Arima, Asama has already disenchanted the protagonist's life.

However, the idea of wanting to help them remains.

As for manipulating the student council through Arima, Asama wouldn't do it, otherwise, what's the difference between himself and Chiyo Konoe?

At most, he asked students to listen to and respect the opinions of the group.

Chiyo Konoe has left the student union, and there is a student council president Gui Gonghei who will open the door to convenience, and there are excellent people such as Wisteria, Nijo, Takishima, and Ryuzaki to assist.

Let's hope everything will turn out in a good direction.

The last two months have been so busy that I feel like I've forgotten a lot of important things.

Asama has made a summer growth plan for herself in advance, including travel, reading, skill learning, interpersonal relationships and other aspects.

The first semester of high school career,It's completely different from the smooth and stable development of the past ten years.,This kind of passive acceptance of one event after another.,But I don't have the feeling of growing in the monster pile.,Asama doesn't like it very much.。

Picking up the phone, I thought it was Takishima harassment, or a message from Futami, Immortal River, and Pochi.

Unexpectedly, it was a text message from Masumi, Fujiwara Ai, and Takaji asking for three people to be sent at the same time period.

They invariably asked about the movie, and brought in their own reasons for looking for him.

Asama took 3 minutes to politely refuse the invitation of Takaji to the weekend's event, perfunctorily answered Fujiwara's nonsensical love questions, and seriously replied with a sincere greeting containing affection.

As soon as I sent it, Ichijo Masumi sent Asama another photo, a tall girl standing in front of the highest school of classical music in Europe, smiling like a blooming Bavarian rose, and her hands on her chest with a heart.

Another voice message was sent.

Asama translates speech into text.

Sure enough, it's [thinking of him].

Asama replied with a few words of encouragement, saying that he would send her the film "Falling in Love with Her Who Didn't Exist", and explained that the film would be launched to make money for public welfare, and asked her not to spread it in advance.

"Of course not! Hero-kun, when I come back, let's make another charity film together, okay?"

"Musical? The audience is too small and easy to hit the streets, so it is better to donate the cost directly."

"You can decide the theme, am I responsible for investing 100 million yen? I'll just book one heroine, and I won't interfere with your creation."

"Actor, who are you looking for?"

"Well, as a producer, I'm qualified to ask the actor to be [Asama Still Water]~ It's very late in Tokyo at this time, Hero-kun rest early, good night."

One posted another emoji of a rabbit sleeping.

Asama returned a good night and put down his phone.

Fujiwara, Takaji, Ichijo, plus Chiyo Konoe and Reina Nijo have no doubt that they have completely entered the field of vision of the Goseki family.

He believed that the scandal pursued and rejected by the three noble girls had already made him famous in the circle of the Five Celestial Family.

Even though the heads of the Konoe family and the Ichijo family are approachable, he understands that these big people are actually veritable heavenly people.

Japan's political, economic, and cultural aspects, even after the Restoration and defeat, are still controlled by these lords and aristocrats.

Those long-standing political families, business giants who have sprung up, industry giants who control the lifeline, and local families that have seized one side of the party are all inseparable from the support or control of these big families.

The three families and the five families, these British and rumored T0 families, are the original shareholders of the country of Japan. The parliament, the prime minister, the votes are just a formality, and the power in this country has always been hereditary in the hands of these families.

As the saying goes, the real master will always stand behind those three screens.

All new players will have to cross the first few screens and play a few rounds of games with these old dealers in the established rules.

This should be the reason why the nouveau riche of the Ten Gods Family, who is rich and rivals the country, seems to be incompatible with the Five Celestial Family, but it is closely related.

No wonder Hayek lamented that only money will be open to the poor, and power will never be. 】

If he doesn't behave too consistently, he's going to be targeted, right?

The sense of security that Asama has now was created in the effect of the [nuclear fraud] tactic against Chiyo Konoe, and was created in a corner of Eiwa Academy, where the circle of friends gradually took shape.

But none of this will do much to Takuma Konoe and Ichijo Mato.

The older generation who was in charge of the Five Senses family, the attention projected by any one of them could tear apart the lives of unprepared ordinary people.

It would be nice if he was an inconsequential clown in their eyes.

But this kind of thinking is too naïve, and the name of [Emperor Master] may be the introduction they threw out to see his reaction, and if they continue to be a conspicuous bag next to their children, they will definitely be rubbed into pawns.

Can the cowhide with a mysterious organization behind it continue to blow? Pretend to be a waste, degenerate yourself, and then be forgotten by these big guys? Use the system, brush out the magic skills, and push all the way sideways? Or join them and be a son-in-law?

At this moment, Asama still water smiled.

His bottom line is not as flexible as he imagined, he has no ambition, and the three words [Wushijia] only represent trouble.

He could only take one step at a time to prevaricate his clueless self.

Asama and Majima departed from the Namboku Line of Azabu Juban and transferred to the Chiyoda Line subway at the National Assembly Building Mae Station next to the Prime Minister's Office, where the Prime Minister of Japan basically does not want to live.

As the crowd poured into the carriages, the doors closed, the subway radio sounded, and the floor beneath their feet began to shake.

Takishima sent another message.

Ryuzaki turned on the rampage mode, and one person incarnated as an eight-armed Shura, and Takishima estimated that before 11 o'clock, they could complete all the work.

Asama thought about Ryuzaki's bad mouth and output at the same time, and the bad mood was washed away at once.

Majima, who stood opposite each other in front of Asama, silently watched Asama all the way.

From the corners of the mouth slightly raised, to thoughtful, to the frowning slightly, and finally to relaxed and pleasant.

Somehow, her mood also fluctuated with Asama's expression.

She knew that Asama still water only needed to give her a gentle smile to make her mood good all day.

The girl bowed her head shallowly and said to Asama with a smile,

"Did still water remember something happy? Shouldn't you still be reminiscing about the stage play, the feeling of Yue-chan riding your neck? ”

Asama's sensibility, which was finally suppressed, was hooked up by Majima's words, he didn't put on a straight face immediately, but kept his original mood, and replied to Majima with a smile,

"Nothing. It's just that I think of other people's lives becoming a little smoother, and I'm happy for them. ”

"As long as you see other people happy, will you feel happy in still water?"

"It's not quite, it depends on who the others are."

Mai Majima raised her head slightly,

The obscure changes outside the subway car, as if all the good and bad intentions in this world are intertwined in the most reasonable proportions.

The girl used her beautiful eyes to look carefully at Asama's eyes, looking at the beginning of the tunnel leading to the dream.

The eyes never seemed to be obscured by shadows.

Whether it was for her, or for Futami and Immortal Chuan, his kindness was too easy.

Apparently he still had a lot of whitewashed and faded T-shirts in his closet, and Miss Pochi took them to discover the only yukata at the bottom of Asama's press box, which was said to be from the junior high school period. Each of the five of them tried it on and determined that Asama would never be able to wear this yukata now.

As long-term observers of Asama, Futami and Immortal River unanimously affirmed that Asama's lunch could be described as [a spoonful of food, a scoop of drink], and the luxury of the lunch was only improved when he officially came into contact with them.

He is so frugal, but he has been spending heavily on them.

"Still water, too kind, will definitely be hurt."

When Asama heard such a reminder from Majima, she was expressionless and replied to her,

"You're right, so I'm trying to be smart and ruthless. I'm sorry. ”

As soon as he said this, Asama was pushed by the person behind him, and he couldn't help but take a step closer to Asamajima.

"Ruthless and polite."

Majima smiled.

The Chiyoda Line before 9 p.m. is also hell crowded.

Although the air conditioning in the car where Asama and Majima are located is frantically output, the air is still extremely turbid. The smell of smoke, the smell of sweat, the smell of cheap cologne, the smell of jasmine or lemon fresheners, and the occasional cough from behind the mask.

Asama, who protects the island in the corner of the carriage, reminds the girl to wear a mask.

"It's okay, the smell on the still water is good."

Majima took the opportunity to stick to Asama's chest, but behind it was all silent and numb Tokyo workers, and Asama had no way to retreat.

“.”

After wearing the dog skin for more than 2 hours, there should only be the smell of sweat on the body

"Still water."

Majima's low voice came from her chest, and the temperature she exhaled was hot and sweet compared to the cold air above her head.

"Nimi and Immortal River, I've already discussed the reward with you."

"Hmm"

"Can I turn the reward into, let me reward you?"

Asama couldn't see the girl's face at the moment, and only thought that this was perhaps the strangest request he had ever heard.

"Reward me?"

"Is there anything you want from still water? Even if it's a book. ”

"Books and socks are enough"

"Socks?"

"Nothing."

Majima remembered something.

"How many pairs did Tsuki-chan weave for you?"

"That's a lot."

At least 4 pairs.

"What can I give you in still water?"

"Be happy. If you're doing well, I'll be happy too. Because, Mai, you're my approved friend. ”

Majima raised her head and looked at Asama.

The girl's eyes have explained it all.

When the subway arrives, the fleeting loosening allows Asama to maintain a rational distance from Majima.

"Jingshui, as a friend, can you accompany me to listen to a song?"

"Yes."

Mai Majima clicked on her phone and looked at the album cover, which was a song by the Dead Kawa Dead Samurai Band.

"Still water, please lower your head slightly."

Majima gently pinched one of the headphones and motioned for Asama to bow her head, and she wanted to put it on for Asama.

"Listen, this song by Lishi is really well written."

A melody came out of my ears -

"The eyes that were drowning in the city suddenly saw that it was a light that opened the world.

At this moment, it was the bravest moment of my life. ”

Majima's scented body suddenly leaned up, and his head was slightly raised, and he leaned over.

The softness on his face was momentarily revealed, and the sensation quickly disappeared.

Like a billboard in a subway tunnel, fleeting.

The music was still playing, but Asama's heartbeat seemed to be straightened.

Majima's face was flushed with an unusual flush, and she looked at Asama, who was slightly stunned and troubled, and said calmly,

"Alright. The reward I wanted, and the reward I wanted to give, was done. ”

Even if it wasn't kissing, such an action made the middle-aged single social animals in the carriage who noticed the beauty of Majima almost have a heart attack and lay in the ICU.

Today's young couples, let's play like this!

Asama looked at Mai, and he could feel Mai Majima's affection, as well as the humility and restraint in his affection.

"Can you still listen to the song properly?"

Majima showed a rare smile like a little girl, and winked playfully at Asama,

"As a free soul, the way I listened to the song just now is exactly the free life I want."

Asama heard what they were talking about when Majima first confessed.

Majima is obviously hinting that this sneak attack is nothing more than a continuation of the last confessional operation.

"I used to play a mature big sister, but now I am an innocent little sister?"

Majima grabbed Asama's hand from the purse where he was holding his phone.

Obviously, the offensive on the island is not over yet.

She was about to say, whatever still water wants me to play, I'll show you. When you're a daughter, when you're a lover, when you're

"Hmm-"

Asama adjusts his standing posture and frees up his hand to grasp the handrail, giving Majima a brain breakdown.

"I'm sorry, the way I listened to the song just now, beating with my fingers in the stubborn place, is also the free life I want."

The subway suddenly turned, and Asama's back was hit again, and as a master of balance, he didn't have the strength to fight against the unintentional and unintentional joint efforts of many adults.

Asama's whole person leaned towards the island, and in the corner of the cramped carriage, his hands supported the walls of the L-shaped compartment on both sides, and the girl was stuck in his arms.

When the impact passed, Asama found that there was only room for him and Majima to stand.

There is no gap between the girl's soft body and Asama.

From such a close distance, Asama easily recognized the pleasant scent coming from the girl's body—the aroma of herbs, cardamom, and hollow valley orchids, which enveloped his five senses.

In the turbid air, Mashima creates a refreshing and slightly cool summer shade for Asama.

"I'm sorry."

No need to apologize. Instead, I hope that I can encounter more such luck in my life. Next, it's time for me to say sorry, bounce my forehead or something, let's play it again after we get out of the car. ”

Before Majima could speak, his head was pressed against Asama's chest, and his hands went around Asama's waist and hugged Asama tightly.

Some of the images in the dream overlap with reality.

In "Falling in Love with Him Who Doesn't Exist", the plot that was completed by her imagination in the cave is alive again at this moment.

The girl, whose heartbeat was already full, heard Asama's heartbeat.

The rhythm of this heartbeat was enough to fill all the nights of her life.

Time, please, please slow down.

Time did not go as Majima Mai wished.

The subway has finally arrived.

Asama finally delivered her to her doorstep.

The constant hugs on the subway didn't work out as she had hoped.

Listening to his heartbeat, just as she wanted to say:

Why, still water, you can give everyone courage, but you don't have the courage to face your own heartbeat?

Asama only sighed slightly, and his heartbeat calmed down, and he parted from her when the passengers got off the train at the next stop.

The two looked at each other in the corner of the carriage,

The imaginary indifference and punishment didn't show up, and Majima understood that, just like the incident this morning, Asama was taking care of her self-esteem.

"It's just kisses and hugs between friends, so please don't take it too seriously."

Asama showed exhaustion and answered her in her first words,

"People who are too kind are vulnerable. So, the person who is really trampling on my conscience is actually Mai you? ”

On Majima's pale face, the flush had not faded, but she mustered up her courage and said to Asama,

"I'm sorry, but I still have to make it clear, it is my sincerity that oppresses your conscience."

"If every sincerity had not been disappointed, the world would have become a prison for the fraternists."

"If only I were really [the Demon King], let the world be left only with you and me, so that you wouldn't have to worry about moral issues in still water."

Asama flicked Majima's forehead again.

"Then Lord [Demon King], you still have to keep your unmotivated personality, please."

If this continues, I'll have to send you on the road, or I'll run away on my own.

"But the hug just now has already filled [the Demon King] with magical power."

"Lord [Demon King], you can use your energy for more meaningful things."

Asama silently took out the study materials.

At the same time, he swore in his heart that if he didn't let him send her home tomorrow, he would definitely choose to refuse. (End of chapter)
