The plank road became quiet again, and you could almost hear the creaking of the wooden boards underneath.
But no one was stepping, it seemed like the center of gravity of the body was swinging with the heart.
A gust of mountain wind blew, and the surrounding leaves began to rustle.
Qing Keisuke turned around and stared at Hoshino's face seriously. She was also looking at him.
The girl's pale and beautiful eyes are not filled with ambiguous divine light, but the cruelty of the strong looking down at the weak.
He finally knew that Hoshino was not kind to him.
Although she finally chose him as her bodyguard during such a journey, it did not seem to mean the beginning of a friendly relationship.
In this case, the Demon King's eyes became sharp.
He wants this conversation to move at its own pace.
"President, you already have a fiancé, why are you so concerned about my love life?"
"Care?" Hoshino stretched out two fingers and said: "Worry, care, bother putting away your abnormal self-perception, member Qing Keisuke.
You might as well think of it as a yes or a yes, which will leave your inflated self-esteem with room to survive."
After the holiday, my president's talk was really full of vigor.
But Qing Keisuke, who had changed his mentality, smiled when he heard this.
He continued to walk forward and said lightly: "It's better than deceiving yourself and others."
——He was referring to the fact that Hoshino kept coming to his house to look for himself during the holidays.
No matter how you say it, the established fact of the action itself cannot be deceived. Going to his home alone for the sake of gossip has already exceeded the level of "paparazzi".
This can lead to another hint: Hoshino Fujiko had unclean thoughts when he asked him to go with him.
Whether it's to disgust her fiancé or something else, her question can be a fatal blow.
This is quite a rogue move. After all, as long as you say it lightly, the opponent's subsequent counterattacks will most likely be included in it, and it will be regarded as a typical example of embarrassment and anger.
In response, Hoshino Fujiko just laughed contemptuously.
"Oh, as the only member of Club P, your mood of trying so hard to join is really inconsistent with your current expression."
It was such a fierce counterattack as always, Qing Keisuke was a little surprised when he heard this.
Maybe I and Hoshino are really the same kind of people. Looking back now, the bad things seem to be very similar, so much so that when we talk about it now, there is no room for argument between the two.
He laughed softly and accepted Hoshino's rebuttal to his point of view - if he continued, it might prove that he did join the club with evil intentions.
Although he made similar jokes when he joined P Club...
Hoshino seemed to have just realized this. She grimaced and her footsteps became a little heavier.
The moon quietly appeared again. Qing Guijie pointed to the small pavilion beside the road and said that he would go there to rest for a while.
Hoshino neither nodded nor shook his head, because the Demon King was not asking for her opinion.
They had gone a little deep, and there was a small pool next to the plank road. Mountain spring water gurgled from the mountain stream, and finally flowed under an arch bridge.
There are no lights in the distance anymore. In the quiet mountain forest, the deep shadows of the trees cover the place, and the sounds of animals scurrying by are heard one after another.
Hoshino originally planned to stop here.
There is an inscription carved on a strange stone beside the pavilion, which reads:.
Hoshino took a look and sat down on the stone bench in the pavilion.
She was hesitant to speak, debating whether to reveal her trump card tonight.
But this may affect the investigation.
"..."
Suddenly, she was attracted by the pool of water not far away. In a daze, she seemed to see the glowing lake in her dream again. A huge corpse was prostrate in the water, looking at her quietly.
"Please listen to me..."
"Buzz, rumble—" The world or the air seemed to be being torn apart.
"ah!"
Hoshino Fujiko suddenly woke up, and she found that she was standing on the edge of the pool at some point, and her clogs and ankles were soaked by the cold water.
Behind her, Qing Keisuke grabbed her clothes to stop her from moving forward.
"What's going on?" he asked.
"..."
Hoshino didn't know how to speak, so he had to ask him to let go of him first.
The cool water flowed under her feet, and the coldness she felt when she woke up was no longer there, but it still made her subconsciously want to avoid it.
She slowly stepped out of the pool and let out a breath.
"Go and look at that stone."
"Um?"
Qing Keisuke returned to the pavilion as instructed and carefully inspected the strange stone with inscriptions on it.
The conclusion is that it is just an ordinary stone.
"President, before you argue with me, don't you think this matter deserves an explanation?"
Hoshino Fujiko opened her mouth, then pursed her lips. She was inexplicably glad that she didn't reveal her final trump card just now, otherwise it would only make her current self even more embarrassing.
During her silence, Aoi Keisuke's eyes focused on Hoshino's wet feet. Those water drops were bathed in the cold moonlight, revealing an indescribable beauty.
Her toes are slender and round, her skin is delicate and white, and her light blue veins also look beautiful and lovely, giving people a sense of freehand brushwork.
The skirt of the light-colored yukata was also wet and clung to her calves, creating a beautiful outline.
It wasn't until Hoshino shrank his feet that Qing Keisuke looked away as if nothing had happened.
Hmm...it shouldn't have been discovered, right?
Why is he attracted to Hoshino's feet at this critical moment?
Although this situation is not considered dangerous for him... In this case, it is not particularly strange to just appreciate the beauty.
Qing Keisuke smoothed his long hair, and seeing that he still couldn't wait for Hoshino Fujiko's next words, he said nonchalantly: "Then let's go back first."
"Um."
Hoshino wanted to go back and take a bath first to get rid of the chill.
Qing Keisuke didn't mention helping her dry it, he just stayed at the edge of the starry field and followed her pace back along the wooden plank road.
"Click... click..."
Two pairs of wooden clogs, one deep and one shallow, walked along the corridor surrounded by lights, leaving only a pair of back figures.
…
"Ah... By the way, President, do you sleepwalk at night?"
"Won't."
"you sure?"
"..."
Miss Hoshino was not sure. After what happened at the edge of the pool, she was worried that if she dreamed again, she would be out of control.
"need any help?"
At this time, they were holding a change of clothes and standing in front of the entrance of the men's soup and the women's soup.
By the way, Hoshino has special bags for storing clothes, so you don’t have to worry about exposing your underwear.
Because Aoi Keisuke's words were slightly ambiguous, Hoshino immediately gave him a sharp look, but he couldn't completely say that he didn't need to.
Fortunately, Qing Keisuke lives next door to her and will not sit back and watch her in danger no matter what.
With a cold face, she refrained from scolding Qing Keisuke for the obscene information about her in his head, nor did she mock him for paying attention to her feet. She snorted and went straight into the women's bath.
Qing Keisuke shook his head and laughed, what he was thinking was——
As expected, Hoshino is only a little bit cute when he's asleep.
