Tokyo: Something's wrong with my label

Chapter 154 A new bet

Time flies by like a fleeting moment.

On Friday afternoon, the sun cast dappled light and shadow through the lush leaves on the Jindaiin campus.

The entire campus seems to be bathed in a lazy and peaceful atmosphere, indicating that the leisure time on the weekend is coming.

In the afternoon of this day, almost all the clubs in Jindai-in stopped their usual busy pace.

The cancellation of club activities has left precious free time for members to adjust their body and mind and enjoy the upcoming weekend.

Even though the much-anticipated Yulong Banner Kendo Competition is approaching, the Kendo Club still follows its usual practice and cancels club activities this Friday.

This decision made the members feel relieved. They finally had the opportunity to temporarily put down the bamboo swords in their hands and enjoy some time of their own.

On the training ground of the Kendo Club, the bamboo swords and protective gear that were originally neatly arranged were lying quietly in the corner, as if waiting for the next passion.

There was no one in the center of the venue, except for the gentle breeze blowing by, bringing up traces of dust.

However, that doesn't mean everyone has given up training. For those kendo members who have dreams and desire to become stronger, Friday afternoon is still a good time for them to sweat.

Although there are no collective club activities, they can choose to come to train voluntarily to improve their kendo skills.

Some members have already put on protective gear, holding bamboo swords, sweating on the training ground.

On this Friday afternoon, Jindai-in’s kendo club was both peaceful and full of energy.

Whether they choose to rest or insist on training, everyone is welcoming the upcoming weekend and the Jade Dragon Banner Kendo Competition in their own way.

However, Aragaki Yasushi was not one of these kings. He did not go to the Kendo Club for training, but instead came to the Student Union as a rare sight.

With the Yulong Banner Kendo Competition coming soon, Aragaki almost didn't come to the student union for a few days this week.

Today is the first day in the student union.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines through the windows in the office of the Jindaiin Student Union, creating a peaceful and warm atmosphere.

Aragaki Jing stood at the door, opened the door and walked in.

His arrival broke the silence in the room, bringing a slight sound of wind and fresh air.

His eyes swept around the office, and then fell on Fujiwara Mashiro sitting behind the desk.

Fujiwara Mashiro was originally lowering his head to deal with the documents in his hands. Hearing the sound of the door opening, he habitually raised his head and looked at the door.

When she saw that the person coming was Aragaki Yasushi, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, but the surprise was soon replaced by joy.

"Araguan, long time no see!" She put down the pen in her hand and greeted her in a brisk tone, with a warm and sincere smile on her face.

Aragaki walked into the living room of the student union room and felt the warm and peaceful atmosphere inside.

He walked to the sofa and sat down, sinking into the soft cushions, and immediately felt his tired body relax.

Yasushi Aragaki looked at Mashiro Fujiwara who was sitting not far away, and found that she was looking at him with bright eyes, with a bit of a smile on her face.

He smiled back, and then said: "It's not bad, the Kendo Club has been training more recently, because the Jade Dragon Banner Competition is coming soon."

Fujiwara Mashiro nodded after hearing this, his deep eyes revealing his understanding and concern for Aragaki Yasushi.

She knew that as an elite player in the kendo club, Aragaki Yasushi was under tremendous pressure at the moment.

Fujiwara Mashiro stood up and walked lightly to the cupboard aside.

She opened the cabinet door and took out the exquisite tea sets and tea leaves.

Just when Fujiwara Mashiro was about to start making tea, Aragaki Yasushi's voice suddenly sounded, breaking the brief silence.

"Forget about making tea, it's such a hot day." Aragaki Yasushi's words revealed a little casualness and ease.

He sat on the sofa, holding two bottles of iced drinks in his hands and raising them in the direction of Fujiwara Mashiro and Aragaki Yasushi.

Fujiwara Mashiro was stunned for a moment, and then a smile of understanding appeared on her face. She turned around and looked at the ice drink in Aragaki Yasushi's hand, a trace of expectation flashed in her eyes.

Water droplets condensed on the outer packaging of the ice drink, giving off a hint of coolness.

"Here, the ice drink I bought from downstairs." Aragaki Jing's tone was filled with a little pride and satisfaction.

Fujiwara Mashiro took the ice drink and felt the coolness in the palm of her hand.

She gently unscrewed the bottle cap, and a cool breath suddenly hit her face. She took a sip, and the cold liquid slid down her throat, bringing an indescribable feeling of relief.

Her body also trembled slightly, and a glimmer of satisfaction and joy flashed in her eyes, as if the whole world was immersed in the coolness and beauty of this moment.

Aragaki Jing couldn't wait to pick up the ice drink, then raised his head and drank half the bottle in one breath.

The cold liquid instantly dissipated the heat in his body, making him feel cool and comfortable.

He put down the bottle with satisfaction, a satisfied smile on his face.

Fujiwara Mashiro looked at Aragaki Yasushi with a bit of joking in his eyes: "I just bought two bottles, aren't you worried that you won't get enough?"

There was a bit of teasing in her tone, as if she wanted to tease Aragaki Yasushi, who looked proud just now.

Aragaki Jing was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "I guessed it right."

Fujiwara Mashiro suddenly broke the tranquility of the air. She asked in a somewhat naughty tone: "If Shoko and Hayao are here, are you going to give them a drink?"

Her eyes sparkled with curiosity, as if she wanted to explore Aragaki's true inner thoughts.

Aragaki Yasushi was slightly startled, not expecting Fujiwara Mashiro to ask such a question.

He thought for a moment, then nodded seriously: "Of course, if they are here, I will also prepare ice drinks for them."

His answer was frank and firm, without any hesitation.

After hearing this answer, Fujiwara Mashiro had a playful smile in his eyes.

She continued to ask: "Then if you only have a bottle of ice drink in your hand, should you give it to me, Xiangzi, or Zai Wei."

Her question was like a trap, waiting for Aragaki's answer.

Aragaki frowned slightly, this question made him a little embarrassed.

However, he quickly made a decision, raised his head and looked at Fujiwara Mashiro, and said firmly: "Here you go."

His voice, although not loud, was full of strength and determination.

"Why?" Fujiwara Mashiro seemed not satisfied with this answer. She wanted to know more.

Yasushi Aragaki took a deep breath, and then said slowly: "Because Shoko and Secretary Miyasaka are not here, but you, President Fujiwara, are here."

His answer was simple and direct, without any embellishment or disguise.

Fujiwara Mashiro looked slightly stunned after hearing this.

She didn't expect Aragaki Yasushi to give such an answer, and this answer surprised her. She took a deep look at Aragaki Yasushi, and then smiled softly.

Her smile was as warm and bright as the spring sunshine, as if all her worries and worries were forgotten at this moment.

"Aragaki-san, you are really glib." Fujiwara Mashiro shook her head gently, with a helpless and doting smile on her lips.

Her gaze was a bit playful through the half-covered eyes, as if telling Aragaki Yasushi that she had already seen through his little thoughts.

Yasushi Aragaki touched his nose in embarrassment, and changed the topic in an attempt to resolve the delicate atmosphere.

He looked up at the clock hanging on the wall. The hour and minute hands pointed quietly at a certain moment, as if to remind him of the passage of time.

"Where are Secretary Miyasaka and Shoko?" Yasushi Aragaki asked, with a bit of concern and curiosity in his voice.

He wanted to know where these two familiar friends were at this moment, whether they were spending a peaceful and ordinary afternoon like him.

Fujiwara Mashiro gently stroked the hair hanging by her ears, her movements were elegant and calm.

She replied: "She has nothing to do over the weekend, so she asked me for leave today."

Her voice was calm and soft, as if she was talking about a normal thing.

"As for Shoko, even if it's Friday, she will go to the club to train for a while." Fujiwara Mashiro continued.

Aragaki Yasu's face showed a bit of embarrassment. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that Fujiwara Mashiro had something to say.

However, this also made Aragaki Jing suddenly think of something.

"By the way, the Jade Dragon Banner Kendo Competition is about to begin. The student union should also provide a certain level of support to the Kendo Club."

Aragaki Yasushi's tone was full of expectation and enthusiasm, as if he had already seen Jindaiin shine in the Yulong Banner Kendo Competition.

He clasped his hands and placed them on the table, looking at Fujiwara Mashiro firmly:

"After all, this is an important event for our Jindai Institute. We should at least do some publicity, right?"

After hearing this, Mashiro Fujiwara showed a serious expression on his face. She frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

She tapped her fingers lightly on the table, as if thinking about how to give the kendo club the greatest support.

After a while, she raised her head and looked at Aragaki Yasushi, with a firm light in her eyes: "Aragaki General Secretary, don't worry, the student union will promote and support the competitions participated by various clubs in the Jindai Institute."

Her voice was full of determination and confidence, as if she was fully prepared.

"The same goes for the Jade Dragon Banner Kendo Competition. After the final exam is over, you can prepare to promote it."

Mashiro Fujiwara continued, her fingers drawing a clear path on the table, "We will formulate a detailed publicity plan, including poster design, social media promotion, etc., to let more people understand and pay attention to this event."

Her eyes shone with wisdom, as if she had seen the scene after the publicity plan was successfully implemented.

She continued: "There are also venue arrangements, logistics support, etc. We will try our best to do our best. We will work closely with the Kendo Club to ensure that they can perform their best on the field."

Fujiwara Mashiro's words were full of strength and encouragement, as if he was fully prepared for Jindai-in to achieve good results in the Jade Dragon Banner Kendo Competition.

Her eyes revealed her expectations and confidence for the future, as if she had seen the moment when Jindaiin emerged on the field.

"That's something President Fujiwara needs to worry about." Yasushi Aragaki smiled, and then suddenly thought of it.

He paused for a moment, then seemed to remember something. Suddenly, the topic changed: "By the way, President Fujiwara, how are you preparing for this final exam?"

Fujiwara Mashiro was slightly startled, not expecting that Aragaki Yasushi would suddenly ask about her study status.

She gently smoothed the hair hanging by her ears, and showed a calm smile on her face: "Well, it's not bad. I have been studying hard and hope to get a good grade."

Her voice was calm and confident, as if telling Aragaki that she had a clear understanding and grasp of her learning situation.

"Commissioner Aragaki, how are you preparing?" Fujiwara Mashiro asked softly, with a hint of concern in his tone.

She leaned forward slightly, staring at him with a pair of bright eyes, as if she wanted to explore his true inner feelings through his expression and tone.

Fujiwara Mashiro paused lightly and continued: "You have to conduct kendo training and review for the final exam at the same time. Does Aragaki feel stressed?"

Her voice was soft and warm, as if it had a soothing power.

Aragaki Jing heard her question, raised his head and looked at her.

A confident smile appeared on his face and he replied: "Okay, President Fujiwara, I am very confident about this final exam. I feel that I can break into the top three in the school."

His voice was firm and powerful, as if full of confidence and determination.

There was a sharp light in his eyes, as if to show Fujiwara Mashiro the strength and persistence in his heart.

When Fujiwara Mashiro heard this, a playful smile appeared on his delicate face, as if he had caught Aragaki Yasu's pigtails.

There was a hint of smile in her tone, and she said teasingly: "Commissioner Aragaki, you are really arrogant. It is not easy to get into the top three in the school."

However, Aragaki Yasushi was not swayed by her teasing.

He shook his head gently, kept the confident smile on his face, and said firmly: "Wrong, President Fujiwara, this is not arrogance, this is confidence."

He paused, with a cunning light flashing in his eyes, and then said: "Otherwise, President Fujiwara, let's take a gamble again and compare our final results to see who can win." To achieve better results."

Fujiwara Mashiro looked slightly stunned after hearing this. Her mind instantly flashed back to the scene where she lost to Aragaki Yasushi before, and the lunch box that made her a little unwilling.

However, she quickly regained her composure, a glint of challenge flashing in her eyes.

She nodded and said in a firm tone: "Okay, then it's settled. However, Mr. Xinyuan, you have to be prepared. I won't let you defeat me easily this time."

Determination and fighting spirit shone in her eyes, as if telling Aragaki that she would go all out for this bet.

And Aragaki Jing smiled back without showing any signs of weakness, as if he was ready to face the challenge.

The bet between the two instantly filled the originally calm air with the smell of gunpowder.

"So what is the bet this time?" Aragaki Yasushi suddenly asked, his eyes shining with anticipation.

Fujiwara Mashiro was slightly stunned. She did not expect Aragaki Yasushi to ask about the bet so directly.

She gently smoothed her hair hanging by her ears, pondered for a moment, and then said, "It's up to you to decide what bet Aragaki wants."

Aragaki Jing smiled slightly, he already had an idea.

He looked directly into Fujiwara Mashiro's eyes and said slowly: "How about the loser cooks lunch for the winner?"

After hearing his bet, Fujiwara Mashiro felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

She was silent for a moment, then nodded and agreed: "Okay, then it's decided."
