Chapter 153
"Isn't Arisa with you?"
Because of this problem, when I walked out of the club building, I was looked at by the other party unhappily, as if I was facing a puffy pufferfish.
"We separated to find someone who had disappeared since noon, and in the evening I was alone on the rooftop with the girls and didn't know what to do, and the cultural festival was full of busy people with a busy schedule for the day."
"Hey, this guy sounds excessive."
ββ¦β¦β
Li Wu's mood now is like a cross talk performance artist who has lost his praise, looking at Aoi Xingchuan next to him sadly and angrily.
"Why do you look so hurt! Is it my fault?! β
It's comfortable.
But you can't just play with the magic girl, Li Wu learned the lessons learned in the interpersonal process today, and sent a text message to Hikari and Airisa, who didn't know where to run, to explain the situation.
Playing with Hikari in the afternoon, I didn't notify Hoshikawa of themβ Hoshikawa Aoi was angry about thisβ and it was a reversal, and the correct thing to do was to inform the rest of the friends in time in the teammate's channel when leaving the team alone.
The perfect logical chain has been achieved.
"I've already reflected on how inappropriate I am, after all, we usually act in groups, and at school events like today, even if you occasionally go alone in pairs, you should talk to other people out of politeness."
This is probably the code of conduct for a small group with Sakurajima's characteristics, the so-called local customs, he is a foreigner because he didn't know the specific situation before, and he angered Hoshikawa, so let's make up for it a little now.
"I've already told them we're going to see the campfire, by the way, would you like to talk to President Shiratori as well?"
"No, to, do, more, more, more, more, more, more, more
So it's really hard to figure out the mood of a female high school student, not only Hoshikawa Aoi, but also what this puppet emoji with a knife in her chest that Airisa repeatedly swiped the screen after sending the message is hard to guess.
This sentence is a joke.
When Ryoko was in charge of directing the band's practice before, Li Wu listened to her talk about a lot of anecdotes in the industry.
For example, a four-piece band composed of a man and three women finally collapsed due to emotional entanglements, and after the male protagonist and the school girl outside the band got along, he was cut off by the pianist, and the drummer who had a side job was flower arrangement dug out his heart and buried it in a flower pot, and finally the lead singer took the rest home.
If the deceased had devoted himself to music during his lifetime, pretended to be stupid in the face of the rising favorability of his companions, and maintained a distance of not too far and not too close, perhaps such a tragic ending could have been avoided.
However, in reality, the real sluggish characters must still be in the minority compared to those who adapt to the atmosphere and play the dull appearance.
Even if the changes in the emotional relationship are still hazy because of age, the kindness of others can always be perceived.
Walking in front, Hoshikawa's figure swayed, and his inky lead-colored hair flowed down in a streamlined manner, covering his round, soft earlobes.
She suddenly stopped and looked back at him strangely: "Classmate Li Wu, why have you been staring at me?" β
"I was thinking that I didn't care about whether any group would be affected by this when I was in junior high school, but now I started to be restrained, and sure enough, it was the girls who affected my speed of drawing my sword."
"Inexplicable......"
Hoshikawa Aoi only felt that he had been with Rinko Hori for an afternoon, and it was probably normal for him to have temporary insaneness.
The closer she got to her destination, the lighter her steps became.
The bonfire was held in an open lot at the back of the gymnasium, where square pyres had been erected, and discipline inspectors had put up banners on both sides to prevent anyone from approaching dangerous distances.
"Remembered a nightmare I had before......"
Seeing the pyre of the bonfire, Hoshikawa Aoi said with a palpitation.
"Have you gone back yet?"
I didn't see the parents of the Xingchuan family that I met during the day, so Li Wu speculated.
"They left me and told me to reminisce about my student days, and then they disappeared."
At the mention of this topic, she raised her fist in indignation, not knowing who she was going to hammer.
Men in camouflage uniforms stood at one end of the road surrounded by two banners, throwing the glass bottle around the neck with strips of cloth in a graceful arc, bursting into brilliant sparks at the moment of collision with the bonfire.
Hoshikawa Aoi stared at the pulsing orange glow, which mixed with the heat of the summer night to push the atmosphere to the next climax, causing the shadows of the people around her to elongate and dance on the ground.
A notice was heard on the radio announcing the official start of the bonfire, and the fire beeped from time to time, and people applauded in unison to the atmosphere of the party.
The side of her face also switched between light and dark because of the swaying of the firelight, and a drop of sweat rolled across the tip of her small nose and slid down the curve of her white neck.
Probably having studied the burning reaction thoroughly, Hoshikawa Aoi suddenly turned her face, and as she moved, her hair, which must have felt quite refreshing to the touch, flowed out of the shoulders of the school uniform that would change shape at any time.
At this moment, the flames in the campfire panzier burst to the ground, attracting everyone's attention.
Passing through the overlapping crowd, the firelight reflected the young men and girls who were looking at each other.
ββ¦β¦ Classmate Li Wu, you guy, you're peeking at me, right! β
Two seconds later, Hoshikawa Aoi first looked away for a moment, and then took on a strangely shaped standing posture and pointed at Li Wu.
"Childish."
He snorted disdainfully and turned his head, for the first time, he didn't rely on listening to the sound, but directly into his eyes.
"It's not fair! When it's your turn to complain, you won't cooperate! β
The noisy voice of the other party sounded in his ears, because he looked away from each other, Li Wu didn't see whether it was because of the hot weather, climbing all the way from the white neck to the crimson on the face of the magical girl.
"Dance to the music, and please support our future activities!"
After the ignition is completed, the banner that prevents everyone from approaching is removed, and the Monster Niang idol group that completes the farewell to the old and welcome the new in a corner of the open space kicks off the dance party with the accompaniment of simple speakers, and even the new Nero is bouncing around in the tablet placed on the speaker.
In the crowd, Masaki Uehara and Tsubasa Mizushima could be seen performing Cossack dance steps shoulder to shoulder, attracting a burst of sideways glances from the girls around them, the ninja siblings of the Teraya family quarreled again for some reason, and the bald Kokubun teacher performed a backflip stunt with the encouragement of Yamama Sensei.
There were many more students who sat in pairs or in a circle around the campfire, holding hands, dancing to the music.
Hoshikawa Aoi looked at the surrounding scene a little confused, as if he had been thrown into a dead person on an isolated island.
"Aren't you used to this kind of activity?"
It's okay to say that people like him isolated the whole school in junior high school, but people like Hoshikawa Aoi didn't quite adapt to the atmosphere of the scene.
"When I used to go to school, I was always busy with the training and work of magical girls, and this was the first cultural festival I did...... With others. β
She stole a glance at the boy in front of her.
Li Wu imitated the way the protagonist greeted the emperor in the "The Witcher 3" he had played before, and bowed to her strangely: "So can we dance together, Miss Hoshikawa?" β
"Poof......haha"
Aoi Hoshikawa, who was amused, leaned down and covered her abdomen.
"Hey, I'm going to get hurt too."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
She wiped the corners of her eyes, and the corners of her mouth hung with a sly smile that didn't look like a magical girl, but more like a witch in a fairy tale: "Ahem, Sir Li Wu, it's an honor to accept your invitation." β
"Why don't we talk normally......"
Li Wuxian couldn't hold it back, took the right hand handed by the girl, and pulled her body closer.
The light body temperature and soft touch of the skin were transmitted first, and then the breath that came from the approach of Hoshikawa's body.
It is said that both men and women have aromatic gases on their bodies that are produced as external hormones, which is called body odor.
It must be explained that Li Wu is not a pervert who will deliberately sniff girls, but after the various functions of the body are improved, the sense of smell can naturally capture the information that would otherwise be ignored and store it in the memory database.
So he instinctively made a comparison, different from the slightly sweet smell that surrounded Airisa's body, and different from the smell of light mixed with the same brand of shampoo as him, because it was all bought by Yuko Hori.
ββ¦β¦ A taste of luxury sundaes? β
"Huh?"
The magical girl tilted her head in confusion, "By the way, Li Wu-san has also eaten things there, and he also played feeding play with Hori-Rin, which is really good." β
"It's not about eating! It's the smell of Hoshikawa! β
"It's worse than I expected! What are you talking about?! β
She lowered her head in shame and grabbed Li Wu's left hand.
The palms of the palms are facing each other, and the residual heat seems to spread through the texture along the numb arm, as if it wants to infiltrate the depths of the heart and torture the real answer.
Then close the five fingers, put down their fingers between the other person's fingers, and then stretch their arms together, the skin outside the short sleeves collides with each other from time to time, and there is a slight feeling of wetness.
"No way!"
Hoshikawa Aoi suddenly let out a scream that caused the people around her to stop.
With tears in the corners of her eyes, she took out a napkin and wiped it on her arm: "...... Why don't you sweat Li Wu? Are your sweat glands stuck in traffic? β
"It's really troublesome, if Xingchuan wants to achieve such an effect, it would be good if he transformed."
"Woo - I don't understand people's feelings at all."
"But I gave sound advice, didn't I?"
Everyone who stopped showed a look of surprise and continued to do their own things.
In short, after Hoshikawa Aoi carefully wiped off the sweat, they continued their interrupted dance music.
Neither of them had learned how to dance, so they chose the simplest kind of ballroom dancing as a duet, but fortunately, they both reacted beyond the ordinary, at least not too ugly.
The brown lady's leather boots lifted and fell to the beat, the black over-the-knee socks that wrapped the slender legs upwards gently scraped in the dance steps, and the blue pleated skirt swayed from side to side with the rotation, and the pure white part between the over-the-knee socks was particularly dazzling in the firelight.
Li Wu tried not to care about what he saw, but in the case of close proximity, even if the visual stimulation was skimmed, the upper body was constantly transmitting signals to touch soft things.
"Let's do that, it's the kind that often appears in movies, throwing it out and then whirring in circles!"
On the contrary to him, Hoshikawa Aoi gradually blended into the atmosphere of the bonfire party, and his emotions were completely high.
She leaned on her partner's shoulder and said almost in her ear.
"Can Hoshikawa really do it?"
"Don't underestimate me! Dance and martial arts are similar, and I have mastered the essence of dance skills thoroughly! β
"That's not so much a dance as a martial ......"
Li Wu's right hand moved down, wrapping around the other party's slender waist, and the two changed positions on the spot, and he held Xingchuan's hand and threw it out.
Before they knew it, they had moved to a position close to the campfire, the moonlight on the horizon and the fire on the ground formed a peaceful picture, and the young girl full of youthful vitality smiled happily and turned around, revealing a delicate and beautiful face, and the satin black hair swept across the nose of her partner, as if frozen in mid-air, carrying the galaxy through the night.
Then he closed the distance and wrapped around Yingying's waist again, making her half-lie in her arms.
"Classmate Li Wu, give your cooperation a score of 90."
Hoshikawa Aoi, who was looking up at the sky from this angle, narrowed her eyes, and the glimmer of the starry sky was reflected in her smiling pupils.
"The rest of the ten points were eaten by you?"
Li Wu pulled her up and angrily denounced this unfair grading behavior.
"As a judge, you always have to leave room for the contestants to improve."
Xingchuan held his shoulders and stood firm, "Of course, Li Wu can try to bribe me?" β
"You are both a referee and a player, so I won't be fooled."
"Good! One more! Encore! Encore! β
There were applause and applause all around, and a certain Uehara classmate shouted the loudest.
Even if they don't know dance music, their terrifying reflexes and athleticism, their far above-average physical appearance, and the fact that they are just getting close to the campfire, have already attracted a lot of attention.
Noticing this, Aoi Hoshikawa seemed to have received a blow to the brain, and his blood pressure was about to burst out with the white steam.
"What should I do, classmate Li Wu! A lot of people are watching! β
She tugged at his uniform tie and shook it vigorously.
"Are you learning to speak with Arisa?"
"Not really!"
The enraged magical girl subconsciously retorted, but still didn't recover from the panic.
She didn't understand why she was so nervous.
Is it because of shame? Or are you worried about being spread some rumors? Or are you afraid of seeing someone familiar in a crowd of onlookers?
The complex mood was churning, and it was even more exciting than when he first summoned Guillotan with the dream of using a fairy wand.
Maybe it's to break the deadlock, or maybe there's something in the lighting ceremony that shouldn't be on a high school campus.
In short, at this moment, almost beside the two people who were embracing each other, the bonfire let out a strong explosion, and the wood with sparks suddenly roared and threw away towards the people around them.
