My tenants are monsters

Shiraishi nodded and responded truthfully: "After I go back to this joint camp, I will go back to West Tama County first to visit my aunt's family over there, but I won't stay for too long. It will take about a day or two." Come back, and spend the New Year here. Maybe I will trouble you, Maki, to take me around Tokyo and see the scenery here. To be honest, I haven’t been in Tokyo much in the past few months I've been sightseeing."

"no problem."

Nogi Maki pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes bent into crescents: "After the New Year, there are still more than ten days, which is enough to visit the most famous scenic spots in Tokyo."

While speaking, Shiraishi Rin looked up at the full moon in the sky.

Nogi Maki also followed her gaze, glanced at the sky, and then smiled slightly: "It's really round."

Dongying does not talk about the lunar calendar. To be precise, it has been said before, but after the Meiji Restoration, it began to fully westernize, whether it is finance, trade, etc., or in the fields of calendar and culture. Western things have since abandoned the Chinese calendar that has been used for thousands of years.It is precisely for this reason that many festivals in Japan have become strange.

For example, the Hungry Ghost Festival, which should have been on the fifteenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, was placed on the fifteenth day of the eighth month every year, and people in Dongying used this festival as the Mid-Autumn Festival, so it seemed a bit wrong.

There is also the Qixi Festival, which is also fixed on July [-]th of the Gregorian calendar every year.

But today should be around the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, so the moon looks bigger and rounder than usual, and it is more ornamental.The bright moonlight sprinkled down from the sky above, as if covering the earth with a layer of light silver frost, contrasting with the cloud of white mist above the hot spring pool.

Hmm... and the skins of the two people in the hot spring, also under the moonlight, revealed a cottony white texture of Sai Xue bullying frost, which made Shiraishi Rin couldn't help but glanced at it from the corner of his eye, and swallowed quietly Take a sip.

For a while.

Nogi Maki just stood up from the pool water, crystal water drops rolled down her white body: "Let's go up too, Xiao Rin. It feels like the soaking time is a bit long."

"it is good."

By this time, there was indeed no one in the hot spring.

Rin Shiraishi also stood up, and went back to the dressing room with Maki Nogi. First, he rinsed his body under the shower. After rinsing off the hot spring water that he had just soaked in, he dried himself and put on his bathrobe again.

Maki Nogi moved a little faster. After getting dressed, she went to the vending machine outside and bought two cans of milk, then returned to the dressing room and handed one of the cans to Rin Shiraishi: "I just finished soaking in the hot spring, The water in the body is not enough, you need to drink something in time to replenish."

"Thank you."

Rin Shiraishi reached out for the milk.

When the fingers of the two touched, Nogi Maki's fingertips trembled slightly, and she subconsciously clenched the jar a little tighter, then she pursed her lips and handed the milk over with a smile: "Let's go, Takahashi and the others may also Wait in a hurry."

More than ten minutes later, Shiraishi Rin, Nogi Maki and others returned to the room on the second floor of the hotel.

At this time, Hinata and the others who came back early had already started playing the game.

The game here does not refer to online games, but a traditional Japanese game called Gepai.Generally speaking, it is a bit similar to Poetry Solitaire, but the content of the pick-up is not Chinese poetry, but Japanese waka. It has high requirements for cultural reserves, and other abilities are also based on this. If so This kind of ignorant compulsory education that slips through the net will lose in minutes.

Rin Shiraishi sat aside and watched for a while, and waved his hand when Hinata wanted to give her a seat, indicating that he was not good at it.

It's true that I'm not good at it.

But Rin Shiraishi did play this kind of game when she was in West Tama County before. After all, she once joined the literary club there. The latter is different from sports clubs and can often engage in some competitions. The only thing that can be combined with literature That's what the game is about.Thanks to the attributes of her predecessor, a literary girl, she was still in West Tama County at the time, and she performed well in this kind of game.

But this kind of good is only compared to other students in the club. If you really want to say how good it is, it's not that good.

So at this time, I didn't plan to join the game, I just sat by and watched silently.

After tidying up her luggage, Nogi Maki also came over from behind and stood next to Shiraishi Rin, with a hand lightly on her shoulder.

After playing a few rounds of "Song Pai", it was almost eight o'clock in the evening.

A few people came over from the boys team, and discussed with Nogi Maki about bringing boys and girls together to play "Hyakumonogatari".

The so-called "Hundred Stories" is actually a group of people getting together to tell ghost stories.

According to the ancient legend of Dongying, when everyone tells a ghost story and finishes telling 100 ghost stories, a monster named "Qingxingdeng" will be drawn to open the door to the world of the underworld, and all the people who listen to the story will be separated from the world. Brought it in, and never disappeared.

This legend can be regarded as a quite old and widely spread urban ghost story, but it is unknown whether it is true or not.

After all, it takes a lot of time to tell 100 ghost stories, and most people don’t have such a large reserve of stories. Unless they are ghost lovers who are keen on dying, it is difficult for someone to persist until they finish telling 100 stories.Taking a ten thousand step back, even if there is such a monster as "Qingxingdeng" that can be extradited back and forth between the Yin and Yang realms, then everyone who has seen it is probably already dead in this world, so it is impossible to have any testimony left .

After thinking for a while, Nogi Maki decisively rejected the proposals of several boys.

——As a spiritual witness who has seen ghosts with his own eyes and knows the real existence of these things, if Nogi Maki dares to agree to the proposal of "Hundred Monogatari", it would be too heartbreaking.

However, considering that it is really necessary to hold some activities to liven up the atmosphere, Maki Nogi changed his mind after thinking for a while: "If you really want to play something, let's change it to a pillow fight, anyway, it's getting late now , and then go to bed after a little activity.”

That night.

Shiraishi Rin, Nogi Maki and the others played a game of throwing pillows together for a while, and when the time was almost up, they went back to their rooms to wash up, adjusted the quilts and prepared to rest.

It is worth mentioning that... this is the first time Shiraishi Rin "sleeped in the same bed" with someone else.

Volume 256: Chapter [-] "Same Bed"

Because the accommodation during the co-sleeping period is in the form of Odori bunk, everyone sleeps together in the form of laying on the floor, and the positions where Shiraishi Rin and Nogi Maki sleep are next to each other. The distance is so close that Shiraishi Rin only needs to turn slightly. You can see Nogi Maki's fair face and the eyelashes above the eyelids, and you can even smell the fragrance of shampoo emanating from the girl's hair.

On the other hand, the picture that Nogi Maki can see is the same as her.

This experience is the first time for Shiraishi Rin.

Maki Nogi might be the same, after all, this girl doesn't often invite friends to spend the night at her home, or go to a friend's house for the night, so most of the time she sleeps in the same bed by herself, so she is somewhat uncomfortable at this time.They each changed to sleep on their backs facing the ceiling for a while, and felt uncomfortable again, so they turned over again, facing each other.

It was dark, and the incandescent lights in the room were turned off.

At this time, the only light source around was the moonlight coming in from the window.

Shiraishi Rin lay sideways on the side facing Nogi Maki, and Nogi Maki also opened her eyes, facing her eyes, and no one spoke.Through the half-covered curtains, the bright moonlight fell on the upper bodies and faces of the two people wrapped in quilts, leaving behind patches of shadows of different shades and mottled light spots, making the two people's already fair skin, Exudes a luster like an ivory version.

"Gudong..."

The slight sound of swallowing saliva echoed in the air.

After staring at each other for a while, Shiraishi Rin and Nogi Maki's breathing gradually changed from the beginning. Nogi Maki moved slowly, as if trying to poke his hand out of the quilt, but stopped halfway through the movement: " Go to bed early, Xiao Lin. There is still a day of activities tomorrow, so you can’t do it if you don’t keep your spirits up.”

"Maki and you too. Good night."

Shiraishi Rin said.

"Good night."

After saying good night to each other, the two closed their eyes one after another, and gradually fell asleep with the occasional sound of wind outside the window and the faint sound of waves farther away.

……

The night passed without incident.

When it was still dark the next morning.Shiraishi Rin opened his eyes in a daze, and felt a faint warmth blowing over his face.

After struggling a few times, Shiraishi Rin reluctantly opened his eyes and glanced in front of him.

I noticed that Nogi Maki had approached her without knowing when, her face was almost pressed against her. In the close distance, Shiraishi Rin could clearly feel that when the girl was breathing, from The breath sprayed from her nose brushed her face, and even blew on her neck and lower collarbone.

Even the heads are so close together, the rest of the body is naturally the same.

After a night's sleep, the quilt on Shiraishi Rin's body has basically been merged with Nogi Maki's. Although the girl didn't put her body too close to this side, because she was in a quilt tube, she was warm. The feeling of heat is still obvious, and Maki Nogi's current appearance is a little disheveled. After taking a few glances, Rin Shiraishi couldn't help swallowing quietly, and the roots of her ears were a little red.

but……

It's not very good if you sleep in this position until dawn.

Let's not talk about whether Nogi Maki will feel embarrassed after waking up. If she is seen by other girls who live in the same room, it will more or less have a bad influence.So after Shiraishi Rin came back to his senses, he carefully moved his body back, separated the quilt that the two were connected together, and carefully used his thoughts to help Nogi Maki tuck the corner of the quilt tightly.

After doing all this, Shiraishi Rin closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

When I woke up for the second time, it was already daylight.

Moreover, Rin Shiraishi was awakened by the voice of Nogi Maki calling softly in his ear:

"Little Rin?"

After shouting twice, Nogi Maki lightly patted Rin Shiraishi on the back: "You're awake, it's almost eight o'clock now, we still have to practice kendo for a while in the morning, we have to get up and wash and brush our teeth."

"okay."

Shiraishi Rin rubbed his eyes, then lifted the quilt and sat up.

Nogi Maki promptly helped her bring the clothes she was going to wear later and put them next to the pillow. After Shiraishi Rin said thank you, she got up and put them on.After dressing neatly, washing, and arranging her hair, Rin Shiraishi followed Nogi Maki and others to the nearby dojo, ready to participate in training.

The men's team basically arrived one after another, among them Ishikawa, Gao Jing and others were all wearing kendo uniforms.

——Not everyone brought kendo uniforms this time. For example, Rin Shiraishi didn't bring them, and he didn't plan to wear them.

Firstly, Nogi Maki and others did not bring all the kendo uniforms in the department, but only brought some of them due to the limited space and weight. It is definitely not enough for everyone to wear; secondly, , The role of the kendo suit is mainly to protect the face, throat, heart and other parts in the fierce sword fight. You don't need to pay so much attention to the usual sword swing practice.

Therefore, Shiraishi Rin felt that there was no need to wear these things.

It's not even necessary during sparring, because Ishikawa, who is the strongest among all the members except her, is just her defeated opponent. Every time you spar, if you can sustain a few more moves, it is considered a great improvement. Others, even as the minister Nogi Maki, it is even more impossible to compete with Shiraishi Rin in swordsmanship.

So in these kendo sports that can only be regarded as warm-ups, Shiraishi Rin really doesn't need to wear protective clothing.

"Everyone is here, let's get started."

Nogi Maki roughly counted the number of people, and after confirming that all the staff were there, he decided to start training.

The next morning was time for kendo practice.

Practicing kendo is about the same as when I was in school.

The difference is that there are usually not enough people in school.

Usually, there are only a dozen members of the kendo club who can insist on going to the dojo for training every day, and the rest only go there every two or three days or even once a week. This time, because it is a joint camp, basically only those who are a little active in the club All the members came, and while everyone was there, Nogi Maki began to perform his duties as a minister, giving pointers to the members one by one.

Rin Shiraishi also shared some tasks appropriately, and corrected the actions of Hinata and the others around him when they swung their swords.

Volume 257: Chapter [-] The Legend of the Spider at Joren Waterfall

In fact, Hinata, Takahashi and others are also old members of the kendo club. They joined the club at about the same time as Nogi Maki. Although their skills are not as superb as Nogi Maki and Aokawa Takeshi, they have basic knowledge about kendo. of.

It stands to reason that there is no need for Shiraishi Rin to make up lessons for them from beginning to end.

It's just that, over the years, they will gradually develop some small personal habits. Although they seem to be just some inconspicuous little moves, sometimes, it may be because of these that hinder them from competing in competitions. Dueling with opponents, it is still necessary to make timely corrections and adjustments.

Rin Shiraishi now possesses "intermediate" ancient sword skills, both in terms of skill level and appreciation, which are far beyond the average high school students. Naturally, it is easy to give these instructions without any pressure at all.Coupled with her previous record of defeating Ishikawa in full view, Hinata and the others also cooperated very well.

Two training sessions of about one hour, plus a break in between, the morning time passed slowly like this.

until noon.

After Nogi Maki announced the disbandment, everyone packed up and went to lunch.

Then I went back to my room to rest for a while, and came to the dojo again in the afternoon, and trained for another hour or so.

Kendo is a sport that consumes a lot of physical strength, so you can't train for too long at once, otherwise, if you experience symptoms such as loss of strength and ligament strain due to excessive exercise, it may be counterproductive .

When the time came to around three o'clock in the afternoon, Nogi Maki announced the end of today's training and asked everyone to sit down and rest for a while.

And she herself took Shiraishi Rin aside and sorted out the training of the members.
