MTL - After the World of Conan is Full of Bad Luck-Chapter 42
The wind chimes by the window swayed in the wind, and there was a pleasant knocking sound from time to time.
Hagihara Qiansu specially brought back a watermelon from the fruit shop in the afternoon, saying that he just used watermelon to digest food after dinner.
This is also a must-have program for the Hagihara family every summer.
In rock-paper-scissors, Amamiya Qianxue lived up to her expectations, lost all of them, and got the last place.
In other words, when it was her turn to hit the watermelon, everyone in front had already hit it.
"I have a question, sister, what if the four of us don't hit the first time?" As the first contestant, Hagihara Kenji was waving a baseball bat eagerly.
Hagihara Chisho, who tied his hair into a high ponytail, replied: "Then let's do another round. Next, we announced the rules of the Hagihara's watermelon: 1. Stand blindfolded 3 meters away, 2. You must swing the bat within forty seconds after the whistle blows, 3. Everyone can only swing the bat once in a round, 4. The rest can use words to interfere. Okay, everyone understands, right?"
She looked around at the others.
After seeing everyone nodding, she covered Hagihara Kenji's eyes with a blindfold, and then whistled.
Hagihara Kenji, who was standing three meters away, took a deep breath and took the first step.
"Ken II, your first step is going astray!" Hagihara Senpai first activated the language interference.
Matsuda Jinhei followed closely, "Sister Qiansu, don't talk nonsense, where you are going wrong, Hagi, you are absolutely right!"
After he finished speaking, he rubbed the girl next to him and motioned for her to say a few words.
Amamiya Qianxue rolled her eyes, "Hagihara, according to the span of your first step, you are still 5 steps away from the watermelon, go ahead.
However, if you follow what Amamiya Qianxue said, you will definitely surpass the watermelon.
Matsuda Jinhei covered his mouth, lest this fellow Hagi hear him laughing secretly.
Hagihara Kenji, holding a bat, muttered, "Huh?? Just five steps? Amamiya, you can't lie to me!"
"Yan Er, pay attention to the time!"
According to Amamiya Chiyuki, the very honest Kenji Hagihara really took five steps forward, and when he swung the bat, he hit the ground with a bit of hunting sound.
The wrong touch made Hagihara Kenji take off the blindfold suddenly, and found that he had already surpassed the location of the watermelon.
"Wow!! I didn't expect, I didn't expect that Amamiya you actually lied to me!"
"Sorry, hahahaha, sorry, you can trick me back later." Amamiya Qianxue, who was sitting cross-legged on the wooden floor, smiled extremely happily, even the corners of her eyes were slightly bent. tears.
Matsuda Jinping looked at the person beside him with some fascination, and an inexplicable feeling appeared in his heart, joy, happiness, sourness, intertwined and intertwined, making his whole person become strange.
Hagihara Kenji threw the blindfold on his friend's face, so that he could calm down, "It's your turn, hurry up!" Then he leaned against the wall, raised his eyebrows and mocked: " Hmph, Xiao Zhenping is definitely not good either, you don't know Amamiya, the number of times he won by knocking on the watermelon is the least among the three of us."
Amamiya Qianxue blinked her eyes and looked at Matsuda Jinhei in the arena, "Really?"
"Don't listen to Hagi's nonsense! How can I be so bad!" Then there was a look of displeasure on his face.
Damn! I don't want Amamiya to think I'm bad!
He put on the blindfold angrily, and before he put it on, he heard the girl's clear voice, "But I don't think Matsuda will be so bad, come on!"
"Cut, I see." He replied, scratching his hair.
Ken Hagihara pouted, "Did you hear it, Xiao Zhenping, come on! Fight for one round of smashing!"
Matsuda Jinping, who took the first step, was a little stunned. Amamiya was the last one. If he broke it in one round, what would Amamiya do?
Looking at Matsuda's hesitant look, Hagihara Chihashi laughed, "Idiot, Matsuda is really an idiot, let's move on, half the time has passed."
Amamiya Qianxue clenched her fists anxiously, "Matsuda??"
Why did it suddenly stop? ? running out of time...
In the end, Matsuda Jinping took two steps at will, and naturally the bat he swayed did not hit the watermelon.
"Huh?? Why didn't you move at first?" Amamiya Qianxue, who was somewhat puzzled, grabbed the edge of the curly-haired youth.
There is nothing to interfere, she can't figure it out.
The slight weight at the hem of the white shirt made Matsuda Jinping involuntarily raise the corners of his mouth, "It's just stuck for a while, it's nothing, don't think too much!"
He patted the girl's head and said, "You also go to prepare, it's almost your time."
Under the interference of Hagihara Kenji, in the end, Hagihara Qiansu and watermelon lost an inch, and the last stick was gloriously delivered to Amamiya Qianyue.
Seriously, when she drew the last watermelon to knock, Amamiya Qianxue never thought that she would have the opportunity to knock on the watermelon.
This caused her hand holding the bat to tremble slightly.
Hagihara Chisu put on her blindfold and said, "It's alright, just knock on it, don't worry about so many missing."
After speaking, she gave a firm pat on the back to encourage her.
Hagihara Kenji's eyes widened, unable to say a word.
Double standard! □□ Naked double standard! He is going to sue the old sister for this double standard behavior!
"It's here, just knock it hard!" Hagihara Chisou ignored his brother's cry for help, and focused on the blindfolded girls in the arena.
"Pop!"
After the crisp sound, the watermelon, which had been put on hold for several rounds, finally completed its mission.
Amamiya Qianxue took off her blindfold while looking out, and was hugged tightly by Hagihara Qiansu, and praised: "It's amazing!! If it wasn't for Amamiya, we still don't know when If you can eat watermelon, go and choose!"
"Eh?? Me first? Let's all go together."
"The rule is that you go first, hurry up, and don't talk about it." Matsuda Jinping released his friend's hand and urged.
Amamiya Chiyuki approached the watermelon with a little joy, first took the largest piece to Hagihara Chisu, and then two medium pieces to Hagihara Kenji and Matsuda Jinping, and finally picked it by herself got a small piece.
"I'll give you this, this is too small in your hand." Matsuda Jinping frowned and handed his own.
Amemiya Qianxue shook her head, "No, no, I will eat the small ones, I can eat another piece after the small ones, and I will not be able to eat anything like you."
Being amused by the girl's strange reason, he had to take the watermelon in his hand.
After eating watermelon, it was originally a water gun competition to be determined. Amamiya Qianxue specially selected a water gun with the largest water storage capacity, but in the next second, because the water was the slowest, it was poured into a chicken .
"Why is this so slow???"
Amamiya Qianxue hid behind a big tree with a little embarrassed and asked others.
Hagihara Kenji hid in the corner of the wall and replied: "The power in your hand was too strong, and Xiao Zhenping secretly modified it. If you want to blame it, blame Xiao Zhenping."
"Fuck! Hagi, don't confuse black and white there, don't you think that you are too strong, every time you are snatched by Qiansu sister, and then feel unhappy?? Why do you blame me? Already??" Matsuda Jinping's tone was rather unhappy.
The three who had disputes fought together again, and the scene was chaotic to the extreme. Amamiya Qianxue, who was not as physically strong as few others, got a little spare time.
Amamiya Qianxue, who was holding a slow-moving water gun, hid behind a tree, ready to attack at any time.
The snipe and mussel compete, and the fisherman wins.
Finally, the exhausted four collapsed on the wooden floor, everyone was wet.
The vast and ethereal starry sky is sprinkled with deep and shallow blue, and the starlight is inlaid into the sky like broken diamonds, ethereal and fantastic.
"So pretty."
Amamiya Qianxue tucked the damp hair from her cheeks behind her ears, staring at the sky and muttering to herself.
Matsuda Jinhei half held his head and smiled, "Is it okay? I used to watch it every day, but I didn't think it looked very good."
"Maybe it's because I haven't paid much attention to it before, but I suddenly see it today and think it looks good."
"Matsuda, it's so late today, why don't you sleep in our house tonight, anyway, you used to sleep here often, in the same room with Kenji." Hagihara Qiansuo sat cross-legged On the floor, while letting go of his hair, he asked.
Matsuda Jinhei replied: "I have no opinion, my father doesn't care about me, what does Hagi mean?"
Hagihara Kenji sat up, looked sad, and said quietly: "Does my opinion matter?"
"It's not important, so I decided to sleep with you tonight." Matsuda Jinping didn't care about his friend's slightly resentful tone.
Amamiya Chiyuki was a little surprised, "Is Matsuda sleeping here too? Then will the greeting gift I brought over wait until tomorrow?"
"I told you long ago that you don't need to buy it, it's a waste of money." Matsuda Jinping pouted, "My dad doesn't care about that."
Matsuda Jinhei was bewildered, did he say something wrong? No...isn't what he said normal? ?
Thinking like this, Matsuda Jinping subconsciously cast a questioning look at Amamiya Qianxue, but immediately withdrew his gaze.
Because of the water pistol contest, everyone is wet, the clothes soaked in water tightly fit the body, and the light-colored fabric seems to become transparent, too close to easy to wear Outlining a graceful figure, it makes people feel a little tight in the throat.
Just a glance, Matsuda Jinhei felt his cheeks get hot, he grabbed Kenji Hagihara who was lying flat on the floor, "Go, go and make the bed in your room first. ."
He couldn't understand why Xiao Zhenping was so anxious all of a sudden. According to his past habits, didn't he push him until the end? Could it be that he finally understands how hard it is to be a qualified and excellent wingman? ?
Matsuda Jinping dragged his good brother all the way to his room, and pouted towards the inside of the room, "Hagi, your room is so dirty, why is there so much dust, clean it up!"
"No, you dragged me here just to assign me work?"
"This is your house. I'm a borrowed guest now. I don't even need to cook. Do I have to let the guest do it by himself?"
The corner of Hagihara Kenji's mouth twitched, well, he thought too much, how could he expect Xiaozhenping to understand how difficult it is to be a wingman, because Xiaozhenping didn't realize that he was a wingman at all.
More come out.
The two girls who were frightened by passive silence hurried over, "What are you two doing?"
Hagihara Kenji raised his eyebrows and said loudly, "Don't worry, Amamiya, don't worry, it's Xiao Zhenping who wants to help me clean the room, right?! Xiaozhenping~~"
The Matsuda Jinping, who was blocked in the door, was speechless for a while. After being silent for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, I will clean it well! Inside and outside, clean everything! "
Kenji Hagihara was shaking, and in order to protect his car model, he rushed in with a rag.
The half-open room was filled with bickering and gossip between the two of them, and Hagihara Chisato frowned.
What are they doing? Are these two really 22 years old? ? I'm afraid it's not at most 12 years old...
"Come on, Amamiya, let's take a shower, ignore them both, you've had a hard ride today, take a shower and get a good night's sleep."
"Mmmm, thank you Miss Qiansu."
The temperature in the morning is just right, the air is mixed with the smell of dew, and it also has a slight floral fragrance, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Amamiya Chiyuki opened the window and saw Matsuda Jinhei who had just stepped into the yard smiling at her.
One hand in his pocket, the other holding a steaming bag.
"Are you awake? The bread I just went out to buy, freshly baked." Matsuda Jinhei smiled and raised the bag in his hand so that the girl who stuck her head out could see the whole picture.
When I came to the restaurant, Hagihara Chisu, who was still a little sleepy, yawned, "Amamiya, you woke up very early, Matsuda came back from buying bread, you eat first, I'll wash up."
Amamiya Chiyuki nodded and looked around, "Where's Hagihara?"
"He, when we went for a morning run together, we met the uncles from the former club and were called to one of the uncles to fix things, don't worry, I have eaten with him already."
"So, do you guys still go for a morning run on vacation??" Amamiya Qianxue said, feeling a little embarrassed, looking at others and looking at herself, she was really ashamed.
Matsuda Jinhei yawned, "It's a habit you've formed before, Amamiya, you didn't rest well yesterday, and it's okay to sleep a little longer."
After a while, Hagihara Qiansu came downstairs. She held up her mobile phone and said, "Kenji just called me to say that the machine is a little troublesome, and let Matsuda help you."
Jinping Matsuda frowned, "Is that engine so difficult to repair?"
"Take Amamiya with me, and my friend told me to go there in the morning. For lunch, your aunt sent me a message last night and told me to let you eat at her place at noon, and you will be there Let's fix it, I'll probably be back at night."
"Okay, Miss Qiansu, where do you eat at night?" Matsuda Jinping waved at the girl and asked her to come with him.
Hagihara Qiansu thought about it and said, "Anyway, if you don't eat at home, you don't need to worry about me."
"Sister Qiansu must pay attention to safety when going out. There are so many people today, so be extra careful." Amamiya Qianxue urged as she walked towards the door.
"Got it, have fun."
Matsuda Jinhei put his hands in his pockets and explained, "Alright, alright. Don't worry so much, Ms. Sensu is also a police officer, and will be transferred to Kanagawa this year. There is nothing around here. People dare to provoke Miss Qiansu."
"So, shall we go to Hagihara now?"
"Mmmm, let's mock him." He said, the smile on the corner of his mouth was extravagant and wanton.
The two chatted and arrived at the destination, Hagihara Kenji was fighting with the engine, completely unaware of the person coming.
"Hey?? This is next to you, Matsuda?? Hagihara's new girlfriend?"
Uncle's words silenced all three.
For a time, there was an awkward atmosphere in the air.
Looking at each other, Matsuda Jinping was the first to jump out after silence, "Uncle! What are you talking about! How could it be Hagihara's girlfriend!"
There is an irrefutable attitude in her tone.
The whole person is very irritable.
Why do you think she and Hagihara are a couple!
Anyway, she came here with Matsuda...
"It's not Hagihara's new girlfriend, so it's definitely not yours, your classmates?"
"Uncle, you are very strange, why is it definitely not mine??"
Said: "Is it really your girlfriend??"
Jinping Matsuda hurriedly responded: "No! Classmates, just classmates from the police academy!"
"I'll just say, how is it that you are interested in girls."
Hagihara Kenji, who has been trying hard to hold back his laughter, took a deep breath and said, "Okay, okay, it's rude for you to discuss in front of a girl like this, Xiao Zhenping come and help !"
"Che, Hagi, you are so bad, you can't handle this."
Seeing that the focus shifted from herself, the smile that Amamiya Qianxue maintained finally faded, but she felt a little sad for no reason.
Why are you sad?
It wasn't until lunchtime that Amamiya Qianxue didn't quite understand.
"It's better not to go to my aunt's place for dinner, go back, Amamiya, I'll cook what you want to eat."
After hesitating for a long time, Matsuda Jinhei decided not to go to the hotel. Thinking of what happened in the morning, he was very irritable. If I go, will it be the same as in the morning? That's too annoying. Amamiya would be embarrassed too.
The big deal is that he was criticized by his aunt later, but he couldn't make Amamiya so embarrassed.
Amamiya Qianxue blinked, "It doesn't matter if you don't go? Your aunt will be upset, right?"
"No, it's fine."
"Really?? Why did you suddenly decide that you can't pass, and all three of you can't pass??"
"It's okay, let Hagi go." Matsuda Jinpei didn't care at all.
"No no no, that's not very good, Hagihara is very miserable." Amamiya Qianxue waved her hand, only feeling that Hagihara has been quite pitiful these two days.
"How about going back and eating curry?"
"I can do it. I'm not picky eater. I won't hate anything you do."
Amamiya Qianxue tilted her head and smiled, her eyebrows curved.
Matsuda Jinhei scratched his hair embarrassedly, not knowing how to respond to this sentence.
However, Kenji Hagihara, who originally thought she could taste Aunt Matsuda's excellent craftsmanship, was the one who was really hurt. From the feast to the curry, the loss in this was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
Struggling on the horizon, the sunset completely fell, leaving an orange-yellow aftertaste, the navy blue sky was covered with dazzling stars, and the hustle and bustle of the fireworks display officially kicked off .
The bustling vendors opened early, and the boys and girls in well-fitting yukatas swayed on the street, and even the background sounds were cheerful and bright chatting and laughter.
Standing on the steps overlooking the bustling and lively commercial street, Matsuda Jinping turned his head and asked the people around him, "Are you really going to go shopping?"
Amamiya Qianxue shook her head, "Don't go, I think it's good to see it like this."
warm to.
Amamiya Chiyuki belongs to the latter category.
Above the cascading steps, there is an old and slightly defeated vermilion torii, and above it is an abandoned shrine with dark blue tiles, because no one comes to worship all the year round, and it has already been crowded. A variety of verdant vines and moss.
Turning the steps, the noise below faded away and became blurred, and after a short walk, they reached their destination.
The top of a slightly gentle hillside, except for an old tree, is a grass that sways around when the breeze blows.
"This used to be Hagi and I's secret base! I used to do bad things with him before and there was nowhere to go, so I came here to stay."
Matsuda Jinhei said, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, which made him look extra flamboyant.
"Sure enough, Matsuda used to be the kind of student who would give teachers a headache." Amamiya Qianxue leaned against the tree, her short purple-gray hair swaying slightly in the breeze.
Matsuda Jinping said with a little dissatisfaction: "Headache?? It's not that bad, I didn't do anything."
"But, I heard from Miss Qiansu last night that you lost a tooth because of a high school fight..."
Can this be called nothing? ? It is obviously a thorn, and it is estimated that the teacher loves it and hates it.
"Sister Qiansu even told you this!"
Jinping Matsuda, who was a little flustered and excited, took a step forward. It was hard to imagine how many embarrassing things Qiansu sister told Amamiya about him, his image...
Amamiya Qianxue silently took a step back, clinging to the big tree behind him. In fact, there are many things from his past, but looking at the current state of Matsuda Jinping, it is estimated that Great.
Matsuda Jinhei patted the branches of the big tree and blocked the girl in a small corner, "I really didn't tell you anything else??"
The red-faced Qianxue Amamiya bit her lower lip, struggling and entangled.
The ambiguous atmosphere followed the summer night wind, blowing the face, messing up the hair, and also blowing the shimmering eyes,
Fortunately, in the next second, the grand fireworks rose to the sky.
The sound of "咻" made both of them look at the navy blue sky at the same time.
A few dull sounds rang in the ears of the two of them. In the silent dark sky, the fireworks that bloomed in the dark night were slowly falling.
The big fireworks are blooming in the air again, and they are full of brilliance and stars. The starlight dragged a dazzling arc and disappeared into the navy blue sky.
"It's beautiful."
Amamiya Chiyuki muttered to herself.
"Really!" Matsuda Jinhei's words were filled with excitement.
He looked at the people around him in a trance, the girl's face was bathed in colorful colors, shrouded in colorful light and shadow, and even the bottom of her eyes could reflect bright fireworks.
Yes, it's beautiful, it looks like a painting.
Jinhei Matsuda thought it was the most beautiful fireworks he had ever seen.
"Look, this looks like a bellflower!" Amamiya Qianxue grabbed the arm of the person next to her in surprise. Are there so many kinds of fireworks? ? ?
The boy whose arm was grabbed froze, and immediately turned his head to look at the grand and romantic fireworks on the sky.
The sky is full of colorful colors, and the fireworks that rise to the highest sky are particularly bright, colorful and radiant.
The sound of "Boom!" exploded across the sky.
Amamiya Qianxue quietly cast her gaze to the curly-haired young man beside her, her heart beating so loudly that she couldn't even hear the sound of the fireworks blooming.
