The playground in Toyosaki was crowded with people.
Countless sports clubs are holding activities here.
Kato Yusuke followed the crowd here, still wearing the eye-catching doll costume.
I looked around and didn't find the target at the promised place, so I sent a message on my mobile phone.
【Where are you?】
Not long after the message was sent, I received a reply quickly.
【Here in the southeast corner~(^-^)】
He craned his neck to look, and finally spotted the beautiful silhouette of the bird Tingting under the high metal fence.
She has long brown hair tied behind her head, and two slightly curly locks of hair swaying in front of her silver plate-like face, with a smile on her face.
The long black woolen windbreaker is naturally open, revealing the white silk shirt, and the lake blue tight jeans set off the slender legs, which are chic and beautiful.
The woman leaned against the edge of the fence, gently raised a hand, and waved to him happily.
Kato Yusuke strode over, and the other party deliberately ran into his arms and gave him a big hug.
"Hmm~ You are so warm and feel so comfortable~" Hasumi Kanoko murmured, and gently rubbed her face on his furry chest.
"Good morning, Kano-chan."
Kato Yusuke smiled and hugged her, "I'm sorry, I just picked up my guardians. Did I keep you waiting for a long time?"
"No way~ Have you settled everyone in?"
"Settled in."
"What about work?"
"What job?"
Hasumi Kanoko raised her head and looked up at him with a smile, "Don't you have any work like the student union to be busy with?"
Kato Yusuke shook his head, "I said hello to the cultural festival executive committee. If there are any questions, they will contact me. I can accompany you before the afternoon."
"Accompany me? In fact, if you have something to do, just do your work first~ I can go shopping by myself, or chat with my former colleagues or something."
"It's okay. I wanted to do this myself. Besides, aren't you only free today? So I have to accompany you."
"...I knew you would say that."
"What?"
Hasumi Kanoko sighed helplessly with a smile, and poked his chest with her finger, "Because you are always serious in these places, and your sense of responsibility is too strong to the point of being a bit stubborn."
"Hmm...I don't have much self-consciousness in this regard. Does this put any pressure on you?"
"Eh~ It's not pressure or anything..."
The woman blinked and her eyes became warm.
"I just think we already have this kind of relationship, it doesn't matter if you don't need to be so cautious anymore...
It should be said that I'm a little worried that your bad habit of carrying everything on your shoulders will cause too much burden on yourself."
"Speaking of burden..."
Kato Yusuke scratched his head subconsciously, "Actually, the clothes I'm wearing are too stuffy. I'm going to change out of them to get some fresh air. Do you want to go shopping by yourself first or come with me?"
"Well...where are you going to change?"
Looking back at the crowded playground, the young man replied: "...On a day like this, I can only go to the student union room."
Hasumi Kanoko nodded, "Then I'll go with you~"
…
"Then let's go."
Then, the two of them walked to the activity building together.
Compared with the classes concentrated in the teaching building, this is mainly an activity place for various clubs.
As soon as Fang entered the building, noisy voices and shouts came from all directions.
"Calligraphy, do you want to practice calligraphy? Calligraphy, calligraphy."
"Battle of singing cards, one hundred people per song ~ Do you want to play a song of playing cards?"
"Photography Department~ All the handsome guys and beauties passing by, would you like to take a photo?"
"Supernatural Research Society ~ Supernatural Research Society. Do you want to see UFO? Various supernatural photos are also on display~"
…
In the crowded corridors, students dressed in fancy clothes are trying their best to attract customers, showing their energetic side.
Kato Yusuke took Hasumi Kanoko together and tried to go upstairs in a low-key manner, but...
"Eh~! Hasumi-sensei? Is it Hasumi-sensei——!?"
Unexpectedly and within reason, Hasumi Kanoko was recognized.
It should be said that it had only been a week since her resignation, so it was normal for this kind of thing to happen. The only thing to blame was their bad luck...
Inevitably, the two of them had to stop.
Following the sound, a girl with a SLR camera hanging on her chest was looking at them, or rather looking at Hasumi Kanoko.
As for Kato Yusuke, who was wearing a doll costume, he was probably regarded as the mascot of a certain club and was ignored.
The girl trotted up and walked up.
"Ah~ it is indeed Mr. Hasumi! You are back to see us~!
"
"What? Hasumi-sensei is back——??"
"real or fake?"
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the students who were originally focused on attracting customers immediately surrounded him.
"Uh, hello everyone~"
Hasumi Kanoko smiled bitterly and waved to Yusuke Kato covertly.
"I'm sorry, please leave first. I'll find you later."
"knew."
The two had a brief exchange with their eyes.
Then, Kato Yusuke walked up the stairs alone.
After all, there is no use for him to stay here. If his identity is exposed, it may cause even greater commotion.
As for Xiaokanao's safety, I don't have anything to worry about.
With the students' love for her, there would be no problem at all. It was just a matter of holding her to chat for a while, and he could take advantage of this time to get some air.
Just like that, we arrived at the end of the corridor on the third floor and opened the door to the student union room with the key. Yusuke Kato stepped inside, closed the door, and then began to take off his clothes.
First take off the hood, then unzip the zipper on your back and get out, and finally take off the prop shoes on your feet.
"call--"
With a long sigh of relief from his chest, Kato Yusuke finally regained his freedom.
The hands of the clock on the wall clearly showed the time at this moment - 11:05.
He has been wearing this bulky doll costume for an hour since morning.
Even though it was winter now, it was inevitable that I was sweating from the clothes.
He pulled the collar of his clothes and wiped his face casually. The sweat-soaked sportswear stuck to his body, and both his back and chest were a little sticky.
…
Kato Yusuke put the costume he took off on the sofa, took a bottle of oolong tea from the refrigerator, and then sat down behind his desk.
I drank half a bottle of oolong tea in one go to regain my composure.
Turning to look out the window.
The sky I looked up at inadvertently was very blue, the winter sunshine was exceptionally bright, and even the wind blowing from the playground made people feel physically and mentally comfortable.
From a distance came the shouts of the sports club, the soft singing of the choir club, the shouts of the students running the stalls, and the laughter of the tourists.
If you listen to those happy melodies with your ears open, you can feel the strong atmosphere of celebration.
By the end of tomorrow, this place will be an ordinary school again, and this enthusiasm will completely fade away.
So now, it wouldn't be a bad idea to immerse myself in this atmosphere for a while longer.
Kato Yusuke thought leisurely and relaxed.
At this time——
With the sound of the door opening "clicking", Hasumi Kanoko pushed the door open and entered the room.
"……Excuse me."
The woman said apologetically and touched the door gently with her body. Then Shi Shiran came over and asked, "Did I keep you waiting for a long time?"
"No, I just sat down not long ago."
Kato Yusuke looked at her and smiled, "Has the matter downstairs been resolved?"
When this was mentioned, Hasumi Kanoko smiled bitterly and nodded gently.
"Well... everyone was so enthusiastic, and they also gave me a lot of coupons, telling me that I must go to their store to have a look, but I tried to talk them out of it."
"As expected of Kano-chan." Kato Yusuke joked: "By the way, it's a celebration day, so don't cry, okay?"
"Crying? Why should I cry?" Hasumi Kanoko raised her eyebrows in confusion, moved a chair and sat down next to him.
As she sat down, her windbreaker opened wider, and her slim figure was fully displayed.
Show off your neck, slender waist, perky butt, and beautiful legs.
From top to bottom, it is well proportioned and gracefully curved.
Plump where you should be plump, and slim where you should be slim.
It is both charming and full of charm.
"..."
Kato Yusuke observed her calmly, feeling a little disturbed in his heart, then paused and said:
"...After all, Kano-chan is a little woman who is easily impressed. If I see you crying, I will also feel uncomfortable."
Hearing this, Ren saw Kanoko and gave him an angry look, saying angrily: "How can I be so fragile? I won't be like that."
"Yeah?"
"certainly."
Kato Yusuke smiled deliberately, turned his attention away from the other person, and took two more sips of oolong tea.
"You mean you really like oolong tea, why?"
"Hmm? I also like coffee and stuff."
"That's different." The woman shook her head, "Although you can drink coffee, most of the time you will still choose oolong tea."
"Well, what's the problem with this?" Kato Yusuke looked over strangely, and the other party shook his head again.
"That's not true~ I'm just a little curious, so I just asked."
"There's no special reason, I'm just used to drinking."
"So why?"
…
"...Are you going to break the casserole and ask the truth?"
"What does it matter? I also want to know more about my boyfriend's heart, isn't that okay?"
The woman's tone was full of coquettishness, as if she didn't care at all about wasting time.
"...I can tell you it's okay, but it will be boring."
"Yeah~ I want to hear it!"
Kato Yusuke sighed helplessly and had to think about the reason for this thing he had never thought of.
"If you insist on saying it..."
"If you insist on saying it~?"
"I just think it tastes like tea, right?"
"What...?" Ren saw Kanoko's face confused.
Kato Yusuke reached out and picked up the PET bottle, turned to the ingredient list, and explained.
"Look, the raw materials on it are basically water, oolong tea leaves, oolong tea powder, sodium bicarbonate and vitamin C, etc., and there is no sugar. Don't you think it is healthier?"
"healthy…………"
Upon hearing his answer, the other party blinked two or three times, then covered his mouth with a puff of laughter.
"——Ah hahahahaha, what's your answer? It's so strange!"
"...Is it weird?"
"Hmm, haha, it's really weird~! Hahahahaha."
Kato Yusuke looked at her in confusion and confusion, "...Why are you smiling so exaggeratedly? It makes me feel a little embarrassed. Can you stop?"
"Be good, be good, I'm not laughing at you, it's just that, pfft, you are really... so funny!"
Hasumi Kanoko laughed so hard that her branches trembled, and her hair danced happily with her movements.
"..."
Seeing that the persuasion was ineffective, Kato Yusuke couldn't help but sigh with disinterest and simply let it go.
After laughing like this for a while, Hasumi Kanoko finally stopped out of breath.
Then, while pressing her still heaving chest, she stretched out another hand, explored the young man's handsome and perfect face, and gently stroked his chin.
"Well - it's all because you speak in an old-fashioned way, just like my grandpa. Can't you act more like a person your age and do something more like your peers?"
Hearing this, Kato Yusuke couldn't help but glance at her.
"...On the other hand, Kano-chan feels like a girl who is still in school. Is that why you can get along so well with everyone?"
Hasumi Kanoko knew that he was still depressed, so she didn't argue anything. She just smiled and said: "You are sophistry. Besides, I am only like this in front of you."
Kato Yusuke said nothing about this, and when he unscrewed the cap of the oolong tea bottle and continued to drink, the other party suddenly said: "Give me a sip too."
"for you."
"Thank you~"
Hasumi Kanoko happily took the oolong tea and drank it with her chin raised.
Gudu, Gudu~
She seemed to be very thirsty, so she didn't put down her drink immediately.
Her long brown hair was tied up with a hairpin, revealing her slender neck like a swan.
The lips that have been protected by lipstick or lip gloss are holding the mouth of the bottle. Under the sunlight, the lips look red and shiny, which is a bit alluring.
"Hooah..."
After her thirsty throat was relieved, the woman took the oolong tea away from her mouth. The mouth of the bottle was stained with a hint of red, and she reluctantly left the red lips.
…
"Well...it tastes terrible."
"You can't say it tastes bad, you said that on purpose, right?" Yusuke Kato said speechlessly.
"Hey~ have you discovered it?" Hasumi Kanoko stuck out her tongue mischievously.
"After all, it's not like you haven't drank before. Anyway, if you finish drinking, just give it to me. I want to drink too." Kato Yusuke stretched out a hand.
Hasumi Kanoko looked at his hand, a sly look appeared in her eyes, and she drank the remaining sip of oolong tea very maliciously.
"You like grabbing things so much, are you a child...?"
Seeing this scene, Kato Yusuke insulted her in a funny way, and then prepared to get up to get a new bottle.
However, the next second, a pair of catkins hugged his face and pulled him in a certain direction.
Accompanied by a wafting fragrance of orchids...
——Hmm.
A soft wetness suddenly surged from his lips.
Slowly, the slightly warmer oolong tea was put into his mouth.
One second, two seconds, three seconds, Kato Yusuke tasted a slight sweetness. Although not much, it was enough to stir the heartstrings.
"…Uh-huh."
Seeing Kanoko, Hassan stepped back slightly, her face full of pride, "Here, I'll give it back to you now."
"..."
Kato Yusuke narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at her without saying a word.
Underneath her high-top hair, she has a pair of dark eyebrows like spring mountains, and eyes like autumn waves. She has the feeling of a new wife, and is indescribably gentle and graceful.
"Kano-chan."
The boy wiped his mouth with the thumb of his right hand and said in a low voice, "...What are you doing?"
Hasumi Kanoko tilted her head pretending to be puzzled, and answered as if it was natural, "Hey, didn't I say I'd pay you back the oolong tea?"
Kato Yusuke's eyes became darker, "...To be honest, I have always had a question to ask you."
"Problem? What problem~?"
"Why are you wearing business attire to visit today?"
"Well..." the woman drawled, her eyes flickering, "Don't you like it?"
As their eyes crossed, there seemed to be something suddenly in the air.
Kato Yusuke took a deep breath, stood up from his seat, picked up a naughty child and placed him on the table.
"ah!?"
Caught off guard, Hasumi Kanoko couldn't help but let out a exclamation, and even the empty bottle after drinking the drink fell to the ground with a "bang!"
The young man leaned down and wanted to kiss her, but she pushed her shoulder hard.
"Wait a minute, no, no, no! You pick up the bottle first, and the door... is not locked." Hasumi Kanoko said anxiously and shyly, Shui Lan's eyes were a little confused.
Kato Yusuke looked at her deeply, nodded solemnly, then squatted down and looked for the PET bottle on the ground.
——Finally found the target under the dim table.
He moved inside.
Hasumi Kanoko, who breathed a sigh of relief, jumped off the table and was about to say something...
——Kadah.
Suddenly a loud voice called out from behind.
"g~! Kano-chan, are you here?"
"——!
"
After hearing this, Hasumi Kanoko was shocked, "Teacher Maria——??"
…
In a flash, without even having time to think, the body reacted instinctively.
She immediately turned around and faced outside. At the same time, she pushed hard with her legs and pushed someone in who was about to get up from under the table. Then she pulled the seat behind her forward and sat down.
The whole set of movements is done in one go, like flowing clouds and flowing water.
As for Kato Yusuke, he was cornered by her unpreparedly under the dim table, and sat on the ground sullenly.
The next second, Teacher Maria's half-English accent sounded again, and she approached here.
"Oh~wonderful! You are indeed here. I just heard from others that you came to visit, why didn't you tell me?"
"Ah, uh, um... sorry! I thought everyone was working, so I didn't want to disturb you."
"What——? You are too outspoken, everyone wants to see you."
"Yes, is that so? Let's go together now...why did you sit down——!?"
"Wow...! Why are you shouting so loudly all of a sudden? Can't I sit down?"
"Didn't you say that I'm going to find everyone——! Maria, dear."
"Well, I want to take a rest before that. Anyway, I've been looking for you for a long time."
"But, but, I don't think it's good to keep everyone waiting, so we still..."
"By the way, Kano-chan, why did you come to the student union and sit in Kato boy's seat?" Teacher Maria's voice was full of doubt.
