Chapter 283 The Starting Point for the Battlefield Is Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden
Sakura, cherry blossom, cherry blossom.
The spring breeze in late March blows from the north with a hint of chill, and the cherry blossom trees on both sides of the road sway in the wind, and countless dizzying petals slowly fall down.
The garden is full of tourists, colorful and lively.
Looking at the cherry blossom trees in Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden that looked like a sea of pink flowers, Raku Sakakihara suddenly remembered that it seemed like it had been a long time since he took Suzu to travel somewhere alone, right?
How long had it been since you last took her out to play?
"Brother! Brother! Why are you so dazed!"
The voice of Suzu Sakakibara called Sakakihara Raku back from his thoughts, and he turned around.
"Okay, that's all we have in our team, right? Let me name them."
"Sakakihara Suzu!"
"Here we go!" Sakakibara Suzu, who had just finished eating the buns, immediately raised a hand with a smile, almost jumping up and down with joy. She smiled and said, "Also, why don't you just call me Suzu?"
"This is a roll call."
"It's all right," Suzu Sakakihara rubbed her hands and breathed in the middle, her face suddenly turned disgusting, "Do you have any chewing gum? The smell of the buns just now was too strong."
"I didn't. Who asked you to carry me behind my back to buy food just now?" Sakakihara Raku waved his hand to Sakakihara Suzu, whose words sounded like steamed buns, and continued to name them, "Tenkai Nanamiyue."
"Here." Tianhai Qi Mingyue put down her phone and checked the photos just now.
"Tian Hai Jiu Liu Li."
"Arrived." Tian Hai Jiu Liuli was as plain as water.
This tone.
Recently, Jiuliuli has been getting closer and closer to Qi Mingyue.
"Snow in the sky and sea, snow in the sky and sea, snow in the sky and sea. YUKI!"
Sakakibara Raku shouted several times to the back of the figure a few meters away on the right, and Tenkai Yuki, who was watching the cherry blossoms flying on the park bench, finally regained his composure.
Her fair little face set off by pink petals looked over, her expression seemed to be wondering why Sakakihara Raku called her.
"Brother is calling the roll!" Sakakibara Suzu poked her head out from Amami Nanami's chest and reminded her.
"Yes." Tianhai Zhixue nodded, and then went to look at the birds on the cherry blossom tree.
As soon as Sakakibara Suzu opened her mouth, Amami Nanamigetsu immediately pinched her delicate nose.
Sakakihara Suzu noticed her movements, glanced up, and suddenly turned into a disgusted face.
"Stinks?"
"Before sister-chan asks this question to my sister, I suggest you ask your own heart first."
Sakakihara Raku clapped his hands and interrupted: "Then, our group is all here, right?"
"Aren't there only five people in a group? Just take a look. What are your names? I'm such an idiot."
"It's just a formality."
Raku Sakakibara cleared his throat. His school uniform and tie made his already graceful figure look even more upright: "Also, Suzu, remember to call the monitor! This is a formal occasion."
"Humph! Lele is Lele! And" Sakakihara Suzu glanced at the faces of Tianhai Jiuli and Tianhai Qimingyue, and made a pistol gesture with her right hand and rubbed it on her chin, "Why are you all in this kind of class?" We are divided into groups, but I can still meet you two? Why?"
Tianhai Qimingyue raised her right index finger with an expressionless expression:
"First of all, it's impossible for me, sister-chan, to get rid of me, sister-chan."
He raised another middle finger.
"Secondly, given our position in the class, it is inevitable to get together. Basically no one will ask me to form a team. Sister and sister-chan, you took the initiative to join us."
"Can you blame me? I want to supervise you!"
"Third -" Tianhai Qimingyue lengthened her tone.
Sakakihara Suzu stared at her ring finger that had never come out for a long time, her eyes becoming more and more focused.
"Sister-chan, come closer."
"Come closer?" Sakakibara Suzu suddenly laughed and put her hands on her hips, "Hahaha~ Humph, you don't think I'm so stupid, do you! If I go over there, you'll definitely flick my head! Idiot Nanami Mingyue!"
"third."
Like a magician, Tianhai Qimingyue turned her right hand, and there was a complete piece of chewing gum on the open palm: "——The fact that my sister-chan is an idiot will never change."
"Who asked for chewing gum just now?"
"You——!" Sakakibara Suzu straightened her face.
Sakakihara was secretly enjoying himself.
"Stinky Lele, you're still laughing!"
"Sorry, Ah Ling, I'm not laughing at you. Unless I really can't help it, haha."
"Sister-chan, don't you want it?" Tianhai Qimingyue pointed to the chewing gum in her hand.
"I don't-"
Before Sakakibara Suzu could finish her words, she immediately smelled the smell of buns as she spoke. She covered her mouth and immediately grabbed the chewing gum on Amami Nanamiyue's palm.
She opened the package and stuffed it into her mouth, and said while eating:
"It's not for nothing. You said that to me. Wouldn't it be a big loss if I don't get something back?"
"Yeah, sister is very pleased that you can think so." Tianhai Qi Mingyue held her chin with interest, admiring the animal's eyes.
"Who is your sister? I don't have a sister like you. If I want to call you sister, I might as well call you sister Jiuliuli."
Sakakihara Suzu talked to herself, and then went to look at Tianhai Jiu Liuli.
Although Sakakibara Suzu visited Amami Kuriuri after get off work during the week when she was hospitalized, but the feeling that Kuriuri gives her now is very different from before?
It seems to be colder than the Nanimeiyue period around last year's fireworks festival.
So dangerous.
"Lejun."
"Huh?" Sakakibara responded immediately.
This was the first time that Jiu Liuli took the initiative to call him this week. Sakakibara couldn't help but smile at her, "Does Jiu Liuli have something to say?"
"The teacher is calling us over there."
Sakakibara looked over there and found that indeed Mr. Dao Jing was standing under a cherry blossom tree calling them. There were a lot of classmates standing in front.
"Then it's probably time to gather. Let's go. Anyway, there are only a few people in our group. Zhixue! Let's go!"
"Um."
The bird flew away from Tianhai Zhixue's head, and she turned around and returned to the team.
When Ruri, Zhiyuki, and Sakakibara walked in front, Tenkai Nanamiyue also followed.
Sakakihara Suzu took the opportunity to come to her side and asked in a low voice: "Why do I feel that something is wrong with Jiu Liuli?"
"Obviously, my sister has changed."
"What changed? Why? Because of my brother's betrayal?"
Amami Nanami's eyes under her gold-rimmed glasses squinted at Sakakihara Suzu, "What would you think if you were my sister?"
"What do I think? What can I think?"
Tianhai Qimingyue: "Sister-chan is completely indifferent to this matter?"
"What's the point?"
"."
Tianhai Qimingyue understood.
She understood why Sister-chan seemed so indifferent. She had obviously experienced too much.
Sakakibara Suzu looked indifferent, "But now that you say it, I know it! Huh huh? Isn't it going to be difficult for you, Nanami Mingyue, in the future?"
"Sister-chan, don't think that taking pleasure in misfortune is a good thing. Bad things may happen to you one day."
"Haha! How could it be? I don't have a very bad relationship with you now. You are fighting with each other, but you are most likely to please me! I am happy! I won't talk to you anymore, I will find my brother go."
Sakakihara Suzu finished her sentence confidently and ran to the front in a flash.
Tianhai Qimingyue shook her head and followed.
*
The students in the class gradually gathered under the call of Teacher Dao Jing.
Tsukimi Sato Kyung stepped on a large boulder with one foot, cherry blossoms swaying above her head, and her white coat flying beside her. In a style that was completely unlike a mature female teacher, she held a loudspeaker and spoke to the audience. Everyone announced:
"Ahem! In order for everyone to come to Shinjuku Gyoen Garden not only to see the scenery this time, I have set up some small objects that need to be collected in the attractions of Shinjuku Gyoen Garden in advance - the school emblem of our school. There are a total of six teams in our class , there are forty-eight school badges in total, and the first place has a very mysterious reward! The last place."
Tsukimi Sato Kyung deliberately let it slip.
"Haha, we will have to ask them to deal with the garbage generated by everyone's picnic on the lawn at noon. I am here to give you a little reminder. The school badge will be in a place that you are very interested in. Okay, you should form your own team Okay? Now let me confirm your name before setting off."
"The first group, Sakakihara Raku, Sakakihara Suzu, Tenkai Snow, Tenkai Nine Glass, Tenkai Seven Bright Moons."
"The second group, Tsukahara Hitomi, Sakai Chitano, Minami Ai, Sunakawa Yuta, Kodera Sanhoyo."
"The third group, Fujino Yoshiyuki, Nishijima Daiki, Murata Juri, Sakuma Natsumi, and Ban Yuri."
"Fourth group"
"Group 5"
Tsukimi Satomi looked at his mobile phone and read out all the team rosters collected above, and reminded everyone that the deadline for the event was 12:30. The teacher said "Let's go" and everyone in the class immediately dispersed and moved forward.
Suzu's old friend Tianno is still sad because she can't be with Sakakihara Suzu.
Fujino Yoshiyuki confidently declared to Sakakibara Raku, "Sakakibara, don't even think about beating me!" He was really only a middle school student.
But in Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, a 58-hectare urban forest, finding a school emblem the size of forty-eight bottle caps is no easier than finding a needle in a haystack.
"Mother and child forest, Japanese garden, English landscape garden, French plastic garden, well. Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden can be divided into just a few major categories."
Sakakibara Suzu took the map of Shinjuku Gyoen Garden and studied it carefully, "The Gyoen Garden is too big, collective action will definitely be delayed. But, I don't care about winning or losing!"
Sakakihara slapped her green-haired little head: "What does it mean to be indifferent! Confrontation within the class should be dealt with actively! Give me a boost!"
"Brother, you talk like an uncle."
"I'm your brother! Call me brother! Okay, should we be five people apart or in pairs? Working together will affect efficiency."
Sakakibara looked at Amami Kuriuri. He must have wanted to work in pairs, because Ruri hadn't spoken to him alone after being discharged from the hospital.
In the past few days, I have been seriously apologizing to her and taking her to eat something alone.
There are those small carts for buying snacks in the Imperial Garden, which is very suitable, and the atmosphere during the cherry blossom season is also very good.
And now, it is the only chance to go alone with Jiuliuli in the near future.
"Then they must be in pairs!" Sakakihara Suzu raised her hand.
After all, she’s my sister! There is a connection between the two minds!
Sakakihara was very happy.
Sakakibara Suzu quickly poured cold water on her: "My brother and I, as well as Team Zhiyuki, Team Kuruuri and Team Nanamigetsu! Anyway, the relationship between the twins is so good, there is no need to discuss it anymore."
Tianhai Qimingyue spoke: "I don't know what qualifications sister has to assign our positions. Is sister-chan the captain?"
"I'm not."
Like a sugar daddy, Sakakibara Suzu hugged Sakakibara Raku's arm, raised her chin, and curled her lips: "My brother is!"
Tianhai Qimingyue smiled contemptuously: "Sister-chan, don't forget, you call me sister."
The implication is - your brother is also my brother.
"This is my brother!"
"It doesn't matter whether we kiss or not, we are all sisters, right, brother?"
Sakakihara nodded immediately, "I agree with this."
"What! My biological sister must be better than my adopted sister."
"It's okay for my step sister to date, but is it okay for my younger sister-chan?"
"Me too - what hateful things did you say! Damn it!"
The two quarreled again.
Sakakihara Raku took the opportunity to look at Amami Kuruuri, and then said: "How about Kuruuri and me? Let's go to the British Garden."
"Hashido sack!" Sakakibara Suzu, who was still arguing, quickly made an "X" with both hands in front of Sakakibara Raku, "No, no, no, no!"
"Why not?"
"Brother, have you forgotten what my uncle said? Now, you are strictly prohibited from having excessive contact with Qi Mingyue and Jiuliuli! Normally, it is already the limit for you to chat in school!"
Sakakihara Raku had forgotten that this happened.
Ever since Ah Ling got the Shang Fang Sword from her uncle, once she saw that she was going to be alone with Qi Mingyue, she would immediately run over and pull her away.
And moved out of his uncle's no-contact ordinance. There is nothing he can do against her.
"And it's hard to say whether Jiu Liuli is willing to form a team with you, brother!"
"I don't care about staying with Lejun."
"Huh——?" Sakakihara Suzu said in a long tone, "Sister Jiu Liuli, you don't care about what my brother did to you?"
Tianhai Jiuliuli shook his head to answer her question, then looked at his twin sister, and said coldly: "The premise is that you are not allowed to walk with Qi Mingyue."
"."
After Sakakibara Raku said those words, Amami Nanamiyue frowned slightly.
After her sister said those unscrupulous threats, Tianhai Qi Mingyue's brows deepened.
Sister, are you so aggressive now?
Sakakibara immediately said: "Ruri, I can't agree to this request."
Tianhai Qimingyue looked towards her sister.
"Can't agree? Well," Tianhai Jiuliuli nodded under the gaze of several people and said nothing more, "Okay, then I'll go by myself."
Before the words could even be finished, Tianhai Jiuliuli turned around.
"Wait a moment."
Sakakihara immediately pulled on her slender wrist.
Tianhai Jiureli turned around and faced Sakakibara Raku: "Agreed?"
"No."
"Then what do you mean by holding me back?"
"I think there's some room for compromise."
"Room for concession?" Tianhai Jiuliuli glanced sideways at Tianhai Qimingyue, "Are you referring to her?"
Tianhai Jiuliuli's eyes lost any tenderness.
Uncomfortable.
Sakakihara Raku felt quite uncomfortable.
Liuli in the past would never have done this, nor would she have looked at or talked about Qi Mingyue, her own twin sister, with that look and tone.
My sister already hates me to this extent this time. Tianhai Qimingyue also felt this in her heart.
Sakakihara Raku: "Ruri, how about we discuss it again?"
"The third time. Please don't call me by that name now, while you are still worried about her."
She - of course refers to Qi Mingyue.
My sister doesn’t even want to call her by her name anymore?
It seems that my sister's resentment has not disappeared at all during this week.
Tianhai Qimingyue took a deep breath, put on a calm face, and said calmly: "Sister, there is no need to be like this."
"I'm just being realistic."
"To be honest, do you just run away in anger and let others care about you, sister?"
"You are the least qualified to say this to me. I am not acting recklessly. Perhaps Qi Mingyue, you have forgotten that the most realistic norm is that three people cannot come together."
Sakakibara interjected: "Does Jiu Liuli want to give up? Don't do that."
"No, I just want to chase Qi Mingyue away."
Hit, hit, hit, hit!
But in the current atmosphere, Sakakihara Suzu was not happy at all when she saw that it was true.
She pulled Amami Noyuki and stood behind Sakakibara Raku and the three of them.
From her position, of course she should be happy. However, Jiu Liuli's mood when she said those words, and Qi Mingyue's mood after hearing that her sister wanted to drive her away, could be felt by a bystander.
It's so strange. The foxes are obviously fighting, why am I not very happy?
If Jiuliuli said this to other people, it might be a pretty heavy blow.
But for Tianhai Qimingyue, this only made her stop joking:
"Sister, this sentence is too much."
Tianhai Jiuliuli answered quite rationally: "I don't deny it. But Qi Mingyue shouldn't deny that you thought about me this way before."
"But I still want to reconcile with my sister in the future and leave a little room for redemption."
"Recover? What are the consequences of recovery? Is it your sincerity that I am facing, Qi Mingyue? No, it is just a deception from Qi Mingyue, my best sister."
Tianhai Qimingyue is not convinced: "Could it be that what my sister calls sincerity is just watching you become happier and happier in front of me? Isn't my current situation the result of my own failure?"
"That's right, so you have no reason to blame me for saying what I just said."
Amami Kuruuri returned his gaze to Sakakibara Raku's face: "To form a team, should you choose her or me?"
Falling into the water together, should I save my mother or my wife?
Similar to the above, the current situation faces such a difficult choice.
Even Suzu Sakakihara, who just wanted to watch a show, was infected by the atmosphere of the Shura field that her brother faced.
She remembered that she had participated in it many times, right?
Why do you still look a little flustered now?
What two scary foxes.
Yuki is better, besides eating and being cute, she knows nothing else.
Sakakihara sighed softly, and his helpless face suddenly raised. He put his hands in his pockets and said with a smile: "Well, since you are like this, I will go find it alone. A Ling, take care of Hao Zhixue." "
"ah?"
Before Sakakihara Suzu had time to react, her brother walked away.
Leaving now? !
The atmosphere of confrontation between Jiuliuli and Qi Mingyue has not disappeared yet.
No, I have to leave quickly, otherwise I will be accidentally injured by these two women!
Then the gain outweighs the loss!
Sakakibara Suzu pulled Tenkai Yuki and trotted gloomily towards the forest path where Sakakibara Raku disappeared.
Tianhai Jiuliuli and Tianhai Qimingyue were stranded alone.
"Is it necessary, sister."
"If it's not necessary, then nothing is necessary."
"."
"I will squeeze you out bit by bit, July."
"When my sister said these words, she was truly at a disadvantage."
"It's just that our identities have been exchanged. Since you were able to do Qi Mingyue before, I can naturally do it too."
After saying that, Tianhai Jiuliuli disappeared.
The cold wind in April blew from the north, and the coniferous trees overhead were blown away.
Tianhai Qimingyue stood there and took a deep breath again.
She calmed down.
No reason, just as a twin sister, she felt the discomfort in her sister's heart.
I also felt the dull pain in my sister's abdomen.
Sister's moment.
It's not just the body that's hurt.
Thinking that she has been like a mirror to him since childhood, and thinking of the intimacy between the two of them with their foreheads touching their foreheads late at night, Tianhai Qimingyue couldn't help but relate to the saying that twins are one body, "If we are one body, There aren’t so many things to do, right? Sister, now that you’re like this, it’s even less possible for me to give in.”
Tianhai Qimingyue stepped forward and walked along the bluestone path towards the forest.
