Chapter 35: The Wishing Red Leaf

When we gathered at noon, Shiratori Kyoko was still yawning.

She tugged at the corner of Izumi Tetsu's clothes and asked, "Izumi, where are we going?"

"have no idea."

"Eh?"

"It's a group activity and I can't have fun, so I didn't ask. I just went wherever the teacher said."

"oh......"

Shiratori Kyoko didn't ask any more questions.

Seeing Izumi Toru and Shiratori Kyoko coming out, Shiraishi clapped his hands.

"Okay, let's go. Today we will visit Kiyomizu Temple, and then everyone will write a review."

Hearing that he wanted to write his thoughts, Izumi Toru couldn't help but sigh.

However, among the many students, he was the only one who sighed, which made Bai Shijing's eyes instantly lock on him.

"Izumi, do you have any objections?"

Izumi Tetsu was shocked.

"No, no!"

"You write two articles."

"ha?"

"Three articles."

"I was wrong, I will write it honestly."

Bai Shijing nodded.

"Hmm...three chapters."

Izumi Tetsu could only say so with a grimace.

Next to her, Kyoko Shiratori covered her mouth and snickered.

Izumi was punished every time, and he didn't remember it at all.

However, at the same time, she had new doubts.

Izumi sighed so slightly just now, but the teacher heard it right away?

The teacher’s ears are really amazing!

While admiring Shiraishi Jing's keen sense, the girl followed Izumi Tetsu into the car.

The car goes all the way east.

Kiyomizu-dera Temple is located on the mountainside of Mount Otowa in eastern Kyoto and is the oldest temple in Kyoto.

After getting off the car, everyone climbed up the steps.

Bai Shijing, who was accompanying everyone, did not forget her educational purpose when everyone was visiting.

Walking to the stables in front of Niohmon, she pointed to this and said: "When ancient warriors dismounted, they needed to put their horses here. This is a building left over from the Muromachi period..."

Although Bai Shijing spoke very carefully, Shiratori Kyoko was not in the mood to listen.

She just looked at the maple leaves that were not red all over the mountain, feeling depressed.

Seeing that she was unhappy, Izumi Toru asked with some confusion: "Shiratori, what's wrong with you?"

"I thought I could see mountains full of red leaves, but I couldn't see them at all."

"If you want to see red leaves now, you have to go to Hokkaido."

"Affected by climate and region, the red leaves in Hokkaido will turn red earlier."

"But, you can't make a wish like this." Shiratori Kyoko said with her mouth shut.

"Make a wish?"

"Yes. According to legend, those who can witness the fall of red leaves and catch them with their own hands can make a wish in their hearts, and it will quietly come true one day in the future."

"Then wait until it turns red before making a wish?"

Shiratori Kyoko shook her head.

"That's different!"

"What's the difference?"

"It's just that you suddenly want to make a wish, and it happens to be effective at this place, with the grace of the gods, and at the right time, so it will be useful."

Izumi Toru raised his eyebrows.

"Do you still understand this?"

"Don't underestimate me, I have read a lot of myths!"

"Wow."

"So perfunctory..."

Shiratori Kyoko was a little dissatisfied with his attitude.

However, the girl's troubles go away just as quickly as they come.

She didn't know what she thought of, and she became happy again.

Izumi Tetsu was infected by the smile on her face, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

"Izumi, hurry up and follow me!"

At this time, Bai Shijing's voice came from the front.

"Oh, okay!"

Kyoko Shiratori was about to respond, but she was suddenly covered by Izumi Toru.

"Teacher, Shiratiao feels uncomfortable in her stomach. I want to take her to a nearby clinic."

Shiratori Kyoko looked at Izumi Tooru with a shocked expression.

"Eh?!"

Why didn't I know I wasn't feeling well?

Bai Shijing ran over immediately.

"What's wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

"I...I...don't know..." Shiratori Kyoko said hesitantly.

"So, I have to go to the clinic and ask the doctor."

Seeing that what Izumi Toru said was true, Bai Shijing also believed it.

"Then I'll bring you too..."

Before she finished speaking, she fell silent again.

With so many students, do I have to wait for Kyoko Shiratori?

"Teacher, leave it to me. If there is no problem, I will take her to follow you as soon as possible. Just send the route to my mobile phone."

Shiraishi looked at Izumi Tetsu and then at the students behind him.

"It can only be this way."

So, on the first and only school trip together, Izumi Toru and Shiratori Kyoko left the group.

After walking back for a while, until Shiraishi Shizu and the others were no longer in sight, Shiratori Kyoko asked: "Izumi, why are you lying?"

"The gods won't pay attention to such a trivial matter as lying. Let's go and take you to make a wish."

"ah?"

Shiratori Kyoko, who had not yet understood the situation, was pulled by Izumi Toru and staggered to another road.

Walking to the path surrounded by maple trees, the girl looked at Izumi Tetsu carefully observing the crown of each tree with some confusion.

"Izumi, what are you doing?"

Izumi Tetsu moved his steps and raised his head to look at the tree crown.

"I'm looking for red leaves so you can make a wish."

Shiratori Kyoko immediately understood what he was going to do.

Because you said you wanted to make a wish, are you looking for red leaves?

It's hard to find red leaves at this time of year.

Moreover, even if it is found, it will not be left behind now.

But the girl did not remind Izumi Toru.

I like Izumi who is sometimes silly!

She followed Izumi Toru's example, ran to the other side of the road, and began to search.

"Izumi, let's see who can find the red leaves first!"

"What about the winner's reward?"

Izumi Toru turned his head and looked at Shiratori Kyoko.

The girl didn't seem to think about the reward ring. After Izumi Toru mentioned it, she started to think about it.

After a while, her eyes lit up.

"If you want a reward, you can order the other party to do one thing!"

"If I win, I will order you to wear extremely shameful bunny girl clothes to show me." Izumi Toru said with a smile.

Kyoko Shiratori blushed instantly.

"Change, perversion..."

The extremely slight sound was covered up by the rustling leaves.

Seeing that Izumi Toru had already looked at two trees, Shiratori Kyoko felt panicked.

We can't let him win!

So, she quickly opened her eyes and started looking for the red leaves.

A tree...

Two trees...

Three trees...

Just when the girl was about to give up, a faint red color came into her sight, and her eyes immediately lit up.

"Izumi! Izumi! Come on! I found it! I found it!"

Izumi Toru walked to Shiratori Kyoko, followed the direction of her finger, and saw a leaf that was half green and half red.

The girl raised her head and said proudly: "I won!"

"oh."

"Huh? Why is the reaction so mediocre?" The girl was a little dissatisfied.

Izumi Toru didn't explain, but took off his coat and threw it to her.

"Take it."

The girl subconsciously took it in her hand and saw Izumi Toru preparing to climb up.

"Wait, Izumi, what do you want to do?"

"Now that you have witnessed the red leaves with your own eyes, you only need to catch them with your own hands. God will grant your wish. So, you have to catch them."

Izumi Tetsu said as he climbed up.

I used to be in poor health and couldn't climb a tree even if I wanted to.

Now, I am in good health!

Shiratori Kyoko watched him climb up, watched as he grabbed a thick branch with one hand, leaned out, and picked off the red leaves he saw.

"Gotta catch it."

Red leaves are fluttering down.

The girl's eyes were blurred for a moment.

Why did you lie to the teacher and say you want to see a doctor for me?

Why is it so dangerous to climb up there?

Why is your heart beating so fast?

The girl failed to catch the leaf.

But she was not disappointed. Instead, she raised her head and showed a bright smile to Izumi Toru who looked annoyed in the tree.

"Izumi, I like you, my favorite!"

The girl under the tree said this.
