When Chizuru Shiraishi was arguing with Yui Kamaba and learning divination, Keisuke Aoi watched for a while, then took a can of beer to the balcony to get some fresh air.
During this gathering, he also felt some indescribable emotions.
It seems like something is about to sprout, about to break out of its shell.
Outside the balcony, the evening breeze blew.
Arisugawa Asuka quietly walked out of the living room with silent steps and came behind him, his shadow falling on the guardrail.
Her hair flew up and then was neatly collected by her fingers.
"What's wrong, Arisukawa?"
Arisukawa walked up to him and shook his head gently, and a faint fragrance floated into Qing Keisuke's nose.
"Miss Hanako, it's so delicious," she said.
Even when talking, my mouth is basically full.
"yes."
Arisugawa smiled and stretched out her hand from behind. In her hand was a gift box.
The colorful package above is very familiar. Qing Keisuke went to the bookstore with her to buy it.
"Qing Guijun, congratulations on winning the championship. This is a gift for you." The girl's face was slightly red, but her eyes were very bright, moist and crystal clear, like gems under the moonlight.
"So it's for me?" Qing Keisuke laughed.
"Yes." Arisukawa also smiled shyly: "But Qinggui-kun doesn't even care about this championship!"
"Perhaps I am more looking forward to winning the mat volleyball championship?"
"...Really, don't say such things now."
Qing Keisuke looked at the gift box in his hand and asked, "Can I open it?"
"……Um."
Qing Keisuke opened the gift package and found a total of two books inside.
One is called "Strong Wind", and the other is Rabindranath Tagore's "Birds".
"Why are you giving these two copies?" he asked.
“Because it’s to celebrate winning the championship, but I don’t know much about basketball books, so I had to change it.
The other one... I put it in just because I saw that Qinggui-kun you are very interested in poetry."
"Really?" Qing Keisuke put the book away and said gratefully: "It's a great gift, I like it very much."
"That's great."
Arisukawa put his hands behind his back, raised his head, and looked for the sparse stars in the sky.
But in the brightly lit Tokyo, it is still unknown whether or not it will be found in the end.
The girl smiled and patted Qing Keisuke on the back, sighing: "Sometimes I feel that Qing Keisuke is like a star in the sky. Someone is watching him all the time."
"How can you, a Kukai Yamato Nadeshiko, have the nerve to say such things?"
Qing Keisuke complained: "How many official members do you have in your fan support group?"
"Ah! Ah!"
Arisugawa Asuka quickly interrupted the topic: "I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing."
"Hey, you two! What are you doing sneaking around here!" Chizuru Shiraishi stood on the French door of the balcony like a devil, her cute bob hair a little fluffy and messy at the moment.
She rushed over, as if pulling her, or pressing her petite body directly onto Arisugawa Asuka.
The smell of alcohol hit his face, and it looked like Dr. Shiraishi had drank a lot.
"Come on, let Miss Shenban do the math for you. She can do it accurately."
"Eh? I just... don't have to."
Didn't Miss Kamaba just say that her marriage was smooth sailing?
So do you think the divination is accurate now?
"Come on, come on, let's see if you still have your first kiss, Arisukawa-chan." She was like an old gangster, a level of harassment that could be arrested by the police while walking on the road.
"ah???"
Arisugawa Asuka's face suddenly turned red. She glanced at Aoi Keisuke and then blocked Shiraishi Chizuru's mouth with force, fearing that she would say some nonsense again.
And why does the person involved need someone else to settle things like a first kiss?
"This kind of divination can't be calculated!" She struggled hard and was finally dragged into the living room.
"Yes, the great shrine maiden of Meiji Shrine said yes."
Chizuru Shiraishi vowed, and at this moment, under the influence of alcohol and wishful thinking, she believed in the gods of Meiji Shrine more than Yui Kamaba.
…
When Qing Keisuke finished the bottle in his hand and returned to the living room, the divination session was about to begin.
Kamaba Yui is sitting on the sofa, wearing snow-white clothes and scarlet hakama, looking dignified and sacred.
In front of her, there were three candles that she found from nowhere - they looked quite similar.
Arisukawa sat nervously on the other side, the candlelight flickering, reflecting her cheek.
"Arisukawa, what do you want to divine?"
"I... um, studying, right?"
"What? So boring?"
Is this really what a university doctor can say?
Qing Keisuke complained in his heart, this guy, let alone being a salary thief, can't he even be a guiding light for students?
"Test her love fortune!" Shiraishi helped her make a decision.
"Eh?"
"Okay, I have actually received your request!" Shenba Yui looked solemn, holding her sleeve with one hand, and stretched her other hand above the candle and kept swinging it back and forth.
The flames swayed more intensely because of her movements, as if there were really three elves dancing inside.
Arisukawa opened his lips slightly, wanting to say "I didn't ask for that", but he quickly pursed his lips nervously.
Even if you are a staunch atheist, you will definitely hope that the results of divination can provide you with some help when you are confused, right?
"There are results!"
Kamaba Yui gently twisted one of the flames with her fingers and quickly took it back. She closed her eyes, as if she was thinking carefully and analyzing the results of the divination.
Her expression gradually became serious and she said: "Arisukawa, the divination wants to tell you that sometimes if you put something down, you may gain more."
"What do you mean?" Bai Shi asked.
"I don't know either~"
Kamaba Yui blinked playfully, as if she had returned to the ground from the shrine floating in the sky in an instant. She continued: "But there will be a day when Arisukawa will suddenly understand this sentence, right?"
"what!"
Shiraishi muttered dissatisfiedly, while Yusukawa was thoughtful.
Is there anything you can gain if you give up?
She glanced at Qing Keisuke and still didn't understand what she should give up.
"Qing Keisuke, do you want to come over and do some divination?" She asked out of curiosity and hoping that Qing Keisuke could help her out.
"OK."
Qing Keisuke came over and sat down opposite the sacred banner.
"What do you want to test, Mr. Qinggui? How is your marriage with me? I will definitely try my best~"
"Hmm..." Qing Keisuke thought for a moment and then smiled: "Okay."
"Really?" Kamaba Yui's voice became urgent.
Chizuru Shiraishi and Asuka Arisugawa also subconsciously tensed up their bodies.
"Yes, do you need my cooperation?"
"Um!"
Kamaba Yui took out a delicate silver knife from under her sleeve and said solemnly: "Please give me some blood."
"Blood?! Isn't this bad?" Arisukawa covered her mouth and exclaimed. In her eyes, this behavior was completely beyond the scope of entertainment.
"It doesn't matter."
Qing Keisuke took the knife and said that since he traveled through time, he hasn't really shed any blood.
He cut his palm and let the blood drip onto the table.
"Qinggui-kun, what are you doing!"
"Hey, the knife hasn't been disinfected yet!"
"Huh?"
Amidst the surge of spirituality in Kamaba Yui's body, Qing Keisuke suddenly noticed the abnormality in his own blood——
There is original spirituality flowing in the blood.
Extremely thin.
But it means... not only the spirit, but also human blood is the hotbed for spirituality.
Some people died, but not completely...
