Chapter 237 Teacher... Teacher Akimiya...

The small hot spring in Jianye Mountain is separated by Nanase cloth, and the wind blows a corner from time to time, and you can see the lights of the secret base outside.

Akimi noticed Nanase Yui looking at the curtain from time to time, and asked, "Are you worried about Higashino's peeping? Don't worry, he is a good man."

"No," Nanase touched her flat chest, wanting to cry, "If I look like this, no one will care if I only wear shorts on the beach."

Akemi was stunned, she reacted for a while before comforting: "Nanase is very cute, just like a cat."

"Is that so?" Nanase muttered with her mouth open, "It's just that I don't like cats."

Akemi Akimiya, who kept nodding, paused, she was a little embarrassed.

"Haha," Nanase touched the back of her head and laughed, "I'm just kidding, cats are cute."

"You really are." Akimi Akemi scooped up hot spring water and splashed it at her.

"Sorry, sorry, ah, don't splash me. Watch me splash you."

"What! How dare you resist! Look at my move."

"I was wrong!"

……

Higashino sat at the table and could hear the noise brought by the wind.

"Mingmei and the others had a great time."

He was a little embarrassed sitting in the base, raised his eyes to look around and had nothing to do.

After thinking about it for a while, Higashino picked up the pencil and white paper from the secret base to fill in the gaps in the storyboard of "Slam Dunk".

There are only three months until the opening of "Jump Festa", and there is not much time left for Higashino to finish painting the side story.

Don't waste this time now.

A short manga by Takehiko Inoue to fill in the background of Ryota Miyagi, titled "The Earring".Among them, the heroine is called Ayako, and the Japanese pronunciation is exactly the same as Caizi.

So some people think that Ayako is Ayako.

Higashino doesn't think so, if it's really the same person, then this short story, just like Tiga's "Final Holy War", violates the character setting of the original work.

At the beginning of the manga, Miyagi Ryota spent three years building a secret base by the sea. Now he is in the sixth grade of elementary school and is looking at the sea.

Ayako is at the beach, throwing the gift box containing the earrings into the sea.

This is a gift from her mother's blind date, Sasaki.

When Liangtian saw it, he jumped into the sea, held his breath, and struggled to find the gift box.

After landing, Liang Tian threw the gift box to Ayako and slapped her.

Afterwards, the two fought each other passionately in a round-robin manner, and they got into the secret base of Liangtian together.

After discovering that they were small earrings, Ayako was very dissatisfied with Sasaki's gift. She should have given earrings with large gemstones.

"This is what she cherishes about her mother."

Higashino stroked the plot carefully, when a voice suddenly came from behind, looking back, it was Nanase who was wrapped in a bath towel and her hair was dripping.

As she said, her chest was really flat.

"Ayako felt that if it was her, she would definitely give a more precious gift. A little girl with a single parent is worried that her mother's love will disappear." She thought while pinching her chin.

Higashino Hibiki was surprised, "Is the hot spring over?"

He looked down at the time, thirty minutes had passed.

"Well," Nanase nodded, and he patted Higashino on the shoulder, "Mr. Higashino, the story you drew is very interesting, come on!"

"Thank you." Higashino nodded.

"It's just that I think this character is so familiar." She pointed to Miyagi Ryota, who was originally called A Liang in the manga, and Higashino Hibiki drew a brief storyboard, with only simple strokes for the characters.

"Emmm, who is it?" Nanase began to think, "Ah! Forget it, I really can't remember!"

After only three seconds passed, she gave up.

Higashino put away the brief storyboard, apologized to Nanase for using things from the secret base, and then asked, "Where is Akemi? Is she still in the hot spring?"

"Yeah." Nanase said, "Sister Mingmei said the bath was very comfortable, so she didn't want to come out."

She sighed, "Although everything is good in Tokyo, it will be very hard to stay in Tokyo. Sister Mingmei is exhausted physically and mentally."

"She is really working hard," Higashino said, "Sometimes she only sleeps three or four hours a day."

In order to realize my dream.

Nanase was speechless.

Higashino Hibiki said gently: "Please wait a little longer."

"It's okay, just like Chairman Kadoda said, I'll be idle all day long." Nanase smiled and waved her hands.

"By the way, isn't Mr. Higashino going to soak in the hot spring? Couples take a bath together."

She smiled ambiguously, making fun of Hibiki Higashino.

"Forget it..." Higashino wondered, and lowered his head hesitantly.

Akimiya Akemi's long hair was draped around her waist, her face was seductively flushed, and her fair skin was also slightly pink because of the hot spring water.

Sitting in the hot spring, she could vaguely see her slender waist and long slender legs stretched out under the water.

On the chest, half is on the water surface and half is in the water, which seems to be a floating bulge. The hot spring water gathers a small pool of water on the chest, which can be swallowed into the mouth in one gulp.

Higashino couldn't help raising his foot, and turned his head to see the disdain in the girl's eyes.

"I'm worried that Akemi will faint in the hot spring. But let's wait a little longer." Higashino explained.

"Cut." Nanase curled her lips.

She pulled out the CD of the last episode of "Unknown Flower Name" and watched it under the dim light.

After a while, she broke down in tears amidst Su Hairentai's shouts of "hide and seek".

"Every time I watch it, I feel so sad."

"You like "Unheard of Flower Names" very much?" Higashino asked.

"Well, because it's very similar to me."

Nanase told that, except for Shiori, all her childhood playmates left Jianye Mountain and went out to make a living.

She herself returned to Jianye Mountain because she couldn't get along outside.When I see "Unheard Flower Name", I will feel more substituting, and I will cry to relieve my emotions.

"Everyone is actually the same."

The childhood sweethearts of Higashino Hibiki have no memory of Higashino Hibiki.

There is no permanent banquet in the world, and it is impossible to be together forever. This may be the reason why "Unheard Flower Name" is recognized by the audience.

After another 10 minutes, Akemi Akimiya finally came out out of embarrassment.

She sighed, "It's really comfortable."

It was already dark, and Higashino didn't soak in the hot springs, and hurried down the mountain under the guidance of Nanase.

……

On the way back to the hotel, the stars guide the way, and there are insects chirping in the grass.

Nanase carefully avoided the cow dung and asked the Higashino couple to pay attention.

After walking through the dirt road, we came to the main road of the town.There are dimly lit street lights at intervals of 50 meters, and mosquitoes are flying under the lights.

Back at the hotel, after freshening up, the two of them lay on the bed, and Akemi Akimiya said apologetically, "It's because I soaked for too long and didn't leave you time."

"It's okay." Higashino is not used to bathing in Japan, and it doesn't matter if you have hot springs, "Ms. Akimiya is working too hard, so let's soothe your tiredness."

"Old... teacher, you are not allowed to call me teacher!" Akemi Akimiya pulled up the quilt to cover her flushed face, "I'm so shy."

In the dark room, they could only see each other.

There is a charming atmosphere between the two.

Higashino Hibiki was full of emotion and couldn't help it: "When I came to the country, I remembered the summer of 93. Akimiya-sensei was wearing a kimono, her hair was tied up, and she was adorned with accessories. She was gentle, beautiful, and exuded an irresistible charm."

Akimi blinked her eyes and listened carefully.

Everything was silent, and there was a moving emotion in her chest.

She thought of "The Garden of Words" and Higashi Higashi's confession.

Listen carefully.

Higashino became more and more affectionate, "Teacher... Mr. Akimiya...you finally belong to me."

"Pfft," Higashino couldn't help laughing while waiting for Akemi Akimi's positive feedback, "Isn't this the first half of Mitsui's confession? It's a good show."

"You! You woman!" Higashino Xiang was furious, and devoted himself to the ditch.

"Sorry, sorry!"

Tonight, the activities came to an abrupt end.

Very tired, it didn't take long for the two of them to fall asleep.

"It's really boring." Higashino murmured in his sleep.

……

The next day, Mrs. Anji prepared breakfast.

Taro, a specialty of Manoyama, is available.

The taste is soft, sweet and glutinous, which is really good.

After wandering around for a while, it was around ten o'clock.

Nanase is here again, and she is driving the car.

"Get in the car."

The destination is the core of Jianye Mountain, the palace of the Mini Kingdom.

Ten minutes later, it's almost there.

Passing through the gate of the "Mano Palace", the Higashino couple saw the main body of the palace in the open area.

"Well, how should I put it?" Higashino thought about it, "It's very kindergarten-like."

The superstructure looks like a monster, painted with green paint, and the main building on the lower level is colorful, which is very popular among children.

"I feel the same," Nanase parked the car and walked over and nodded, "But don't tell President Kadoda, this is his proud work."

"Of course."

Many people walked into the "Royal Palace" intermittently. There was a stage, tables, chairs and benches, and a viewing platform on the second floor, which was very professional.

"Oh, Mr. Dongye, you are here." The president at the door is putting on clothes, including armor, cotton gown, and crown.

"Very handsome." Higashino gave a thumbs up.

President Kadoda smiled, "Of course. The performance is about to start, you can take a look around first."

"it is good."

There are many memories of the past. On the wall, the development of the Jianyeshan Mini Kingdom is posted.

It started with a few people from Chairman Kadoda, and the number of tourists exceeded 10 a year.

"10? That's great. It's not easy."

Akemi Akimiya is also looking at stills that record the past.

Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure.That was her father, Mr. Akimiya.

"Eh?" Akimiya Akemi was startled.

In one photo, Mr. Akimiya stands on the right side of the throne with a gentle smile on his face.On the left is a lady who looks very similar to Akemi Akimiya, looking at Akemi Akimiya tenderly.

When she was young, she sat on the throne with a crown on her head, very happy.

"I've been here before."

She had no memory of it herself, if Mr. Akimiya hadn't been there, then she definitely wouldn't have recognized that the 3- or 4-year-old girl in the photo was herself.

"Where? Where?" Higashino looked over, Akimi Akimi had baby fat on her face when she was a child, and she was chubby, "Miss Akimiya, you were so cute when you were young, carved with powder and jade. However, seeing your father's past The smile is really uncomfortable."

"It's you, it's us." Akimiya gave Higashino a white look.

"Then this..."

"It's my mother." Miss Qiugong said with a nostalgic tone.

She caressed the photo, smiling at Qiu Gong's mother gently, with strangeness and yearning.

"Since I can remember, I have no impression of my mother, only her photos. Dad has always kept a straight face."

Higashino patted her on the shoulder, silently comforting her.

Nanase looked over, "Is this sister Mingmei? That's really destined."

Not long after, the performance officially began.

"People of the kingdom, don't forget that once in this country, there were monsters raging here. The only thing that can defeat the monsters is the legendary holy sword. But no one can pull out the holy sword..."

President Kadoda drew his holy sword and waved it around for a show.

Akemi Akimiya took it very seriously despite the clichéd story, perhaps in pursuit of her childhood memories.

Kadoda performed selflessly, he drew up the holy sword, and crusaded against monsters, one, two...

Getting more and more excited.

The small town residents in the audience began to whisper, very impatient.

They must have seen it many times.

at last……

"The coronation is next!" he said.

Higashino raised his eyes and looked over, the throne was empty.

It is not known where the new king is.

President Kadoda stepped forward and gradually came to Higashino Hibiki.

He looked at Nanase next to him suspiciously.

"It's a performance opportunity for the guests." Nanase explained.

Higashino nodded.

Akemi Akimiya was deep in thought.

Higashino took her fingertips, passed President Kadoda, and led Akemi Akimiya to sit down on the throne, while he stood aside, looking at the surprised gaze of President Kadoda.

"Eh?" Akimi exclaimed softly, "What's wrong?"

"Help you recall your childhood memories," Higashino's lips moved slightly, "The scene reappears."

Chairman Kadoda can only bite the bullet and perform.

He came under the throne, and handed over the cotton robe and the crown.

Higashino put on a cotton robe and a crown for Akemi Akimiya.

"I will bestow upon you the crown that is the credential of the kingdom!"

The performance ended with applause from the townspeople.

"Finally, there is a different plot."

"I didn't fall asleep this time."

Higashino heard the complaints from the residents of the small town, and saw President Kadoda's embarrassed smile.

Not long after, there were only Higashino Hibiki, Kadoda President, and Akimiya Akemi in the palace.

Even Nanase was attracted by the curry rice distributed by the doorway tourism association.

President Kadoda took off his armor, and finally sat on the steps with his boots off.

He complained to Hibiki Higashino, "You are really messing around."

Akemi Akimiya said, "It's all my fault."

Higashino pressed Akimi's shoulders, came to Kadoda's side, looked at him taking off his shoes, and said, "President Kadoda, do you know my occupation?"

Menda paused.

"really."

Higashino recalled.

At the beginning, when they came to the hotel, President Kadoda was waiting.

Although there are few tourists in Jianye Mountain, it is also because of the off-season.

Added up throughout the year, there are more than 1 tourists.

There is no need to come here to investigate just for myself and Akemi Akimiya.

Not to mention the personal tour guide and performance afterwards.

The curry distributed at the door is also an expense.

　Thanks to Coke Nuopo for the reward of 500 points, and thanks to Jiuyue Mao for the reward.
