Chapter 1018 The Air Was Restless
The night breeze was cool, and the stars and moon were bright.
The mountains and forests swayed in the wind, and all the stars in the sky were named.
As he tidied up the scattered lunchboxes on the floor, Kyosuke Hojo couldn't tell whether he ate more dumplings or more of Utaha-senpai's drool for his midnight snack.
The two were so lovey-dovey that their clothes were all wrinkled and crumpled. Kasumigaoka Utaha suggested that since the shops were still open, they should go to the store to change into a new set of clothes before going home.
Kyosuke Hojo was terrified. What kind of good deed had he done to deserve coming home in new clothes? Was he going to be torn to pieces?
Remember the Dark Forest Law, okay? Whoever lifts the veil first is the biggest sinner.
He is the sinner who forced Hojo Kyosuke to make a choice, and the common enemy of everyone in the Ruyi Dormitory.
Hojo Kyo clasped his hands together and rubbed them vigorously, trying to use his palms to simulate an electric iron to iron Utaha-senpai's clothes.
Surprisingly, this trick was quite effective. The key was that as his hands continued to iron the girl's delicate body, her tender skin also became increasingly hot. With the combination of inside and out, both of them were completely stunned. Who cared about whether their clothes were wrinkled or not?
So they sat down and started whispering sweet nothings and doing things that would make anyone blush. They waited until everyone in the house was asleep before going home, so they didn't have to worry about anyone finding out.
These were the words of the alluring red-eyed enchantress. Even when his eyes were blinded by the snow-white light, Hojo Kyosuke dared not believe them, because since the day he had a home, he had never experienced coming home to an empty house with no lights on.
After only sitting down for twenty minutes to digest his food, he firmly rejected the temptation from Kasumigaoka-senpai, "I have an apartment in Waho City, why don't we stay there tonight?" and pulled the girl onto Rocket Mori.
The dark motorcycle emitted a deep roar, causing a restless commotion in the quiet mountain forest.
Kyosuke Hojo's ride is actually subpar compared to other biker gangs. As Onizuka and the others put it, "Boss, the sound of your accelerator makes me want to sleep."
"Are you seated?"
Kyosuke Hojo turned his head and asked a question, unable to control this instinctive movement despite wearing a helmet.
"Hmm~"
Kasumigaoka Utaha tightly hugged the big boy's muscular waist, pressing her whole body against him, not caring that the huge full-coverage helmet forced her to tilt her head back.
Kyosuke Hojo pedaled and gently twisted the handlebars.
The red taillights left a long, thin trail as they followed the winding mountain road downwards.
The boy and girl were both covered in a light sweat, so the car was moving very slowly.
A cool night breeze blew in through the gaps in her clothes, causing tiny goosebumps to rise on the girl's delicate and beautiful skin, which made her hug Hojo Kyosuke even tighter.
Unless you're a coward like Kyosuke Hojo, picking up girls on a motorcycle is indeed quite easy. While many models have grooves in places like the fuel tank for rear passengers to hold onto, the design differs between two-wheeled and four-wheeled models.
A car traveling at 40 kilometers per hour feels like walking, but two wheels traveling at 40 kilometers per hour feel like you're about to meet your maker. Grabbing the gas tank is as thrilling as riding a roller coaster, and the only way to feel safe is to tightly expose the rider's waist.
In this situation, all sorts of strange effects, like the suspension bridge effect, come into play.
But biker gangs like Onizuka have a completely different way of life. The roar of their engines is like the subwoofers in nightclubs and bars, enough to shake your brain to its core. It's a brainless way of picking up girls.
Kyosuke Hojo didn't need any of that nonsense at all. When Utaha-senpai put her arm around his waist, he even worriedly said something.
"Do your hands feel cold? If they get frozen, you won't be able to type!"
He is also a writer, and he knows that when Ms. Xia Shizi gets home, she will immediately turn on her computer and start frantically writing to record all the inspiration of the day.
"Mmmmm~"
Kasumigaoka Utaha shook her head, scratched Kyosuke's abs a couple of times with her small hands, and said with a light laugh:
"It's not cold at all, it feels hot to the touch, Kyosuke's body."
Hojo Kyōsuke smiled but didn't dare to respond, fearing it might escalate into a conflict.
The two soon left the city roads and entered the highway. The tolls on the neon roads were actually not low, but since everyone usually took the tram, they didn't care.
Even though it's not a holiday, there's still a lot of traffic on the highway.
The sounds of the car and the wind were completely blocked out by the expensive helmet. Hojo Kyosuke took the initiative to ask his senior about her experiences at the publishing house these past two days.
He knew that if he didn't ask, this proud and strong-willed girl wouldn't tell him.
Kasumigaoka Utaha doesn't possess the noble conscience and principles of Yukinoshita Yukino. She doesn't care about conspiracies and tricks at all. For example, when she took off with the help of Hojo Kyosuke at the beginning, she didn't feel it was an insult to her. She was just silently grateful.
But she also had her own pride, and a burning desire to prove herself, even though she was already a renowned bestselling author.
but……
"I still need to keep writing books that will make Kashiwagi Eri cry in her bed, so that I won't lack confidence when I criticize her in the future."
Without much thought, Kasumigaoka Utaha began to speak.
From the initial intention behind the creation to the tone of the novel, from the general plot to the design of the characters.
Kyosuke Hojo didn't offer any opinion, but occasionally he would ask a few follow-up questions when the girl hesitated in her tone.
Gradually, Kasumigaoka Utaha's voice became more fluent and more confident.
"...That's about it, but now many new ideas are popping into my head, and I must organize them as soon as I get back."
The girl stopped speaking, seemingly still wanting more.
She wrapped her arms around Hojo Kyosuke's waist and whispered tenderly in her eyes:
"Thank you, Kyosuke~"
How could she not know that Kyosuke was helping her sort out the chaotic thoughts in her mind?
This person is still the same as when we first met; he helped me without saying a word, and when I wanted to repay him, he kept declining, saying it was nothing.
A gentleman is completely different from a gloomy and selfish woman like myself.
"I just really want to see Ms. Kasumi Shiko's masterpiece published as soon as possible."
Kyosuke Hojo said with a light laugh.
As they spoke, the two of them and their car arrived in the Tokyo metropolitan area, unlike the city of Wako, which had fallen into darkness.
While still on the highway, Hojo Kyosuke, perched high above the city, could see the dazzling neon lights of the city. The towering Mori Building, the skyscrapers of Marunouchi, the lights of Ginza…
With his unparalleled memory and eyesight, he easily identified these places.
After a moment's thought, Hojo Kyosuke drove off the highway. Instead of taking his usual route, he detoured towards Ikebukuro, still somewhat bothered by what Celty had said earlier.
Utaha Kasumigaoka, who was behind, didn't notice that the route was wrong. She wasn't very familiar with the way, or rather, these things weren't worth her attention.
Remembering the route? Isn't that something a driver is supposed to do?
Two consecutive days of intense brainstorming left the girl extremely exhausted, and after being gently comforted by her lover at the observatory, her weariness erupted like a volcano.
She's trying really hard to stay awake.
Hmm... I really should buy Kyosuke a car.
In a daze, Kasumigaoka thought to himself, completely forgetting that the other person was not even old enough to get a driver's license.
Entering the street from the west exit of Ikebukuro, Kyosuke Hojo slowed down and quietly glided into the bustling road.
It was already past eleven o'clock, but Ikebukuro was still bustling with activity, as all sorts of young people emerged from every corner and gathered together. Even though many shops along the street were already closed, they were still browsing happily, seemingly enjoying themselves immensely.
Behind the matte windshield of his helmet, Kyosuke Hojo's dark eyes calmly observed the road and the people and things on both sides.
The air was tense and uneasy.
He smelled it.
Next to the trash cans under the overpass, on the benches by the flower beds, in the alleyways between the shops...
Groups of young men and women gathered together, the red glow of cigarette butts flickering in the air. These people were clearly divided, each wearing different colored ornaments to mark their group.
Kyosuke Hojo was observing these destabilizing factors, while the color teams were also observing each other.
As he was pondering, suddenly, the hand around his waist loosened, and the girl who was clinging tightly to his back slid down.
Startled, Hojo Kyosuke quickly reached out and wrapped his arm around the girl's waist.
"Shiyu!"
He raised his voice and shouted.
Then those hands wrapped around his waist.
"Heh...heh heh~~"
The girl laughed in a daze, as if she were drunk.
"Kyosuke~~"
She laughed like a fool and said:
“I just dreamt that I fell off a plane, but you grabbed me.”
Hearing the clear voice, Hojo Kyosuke felt relieved and asked if they wanted to stop and rest for a while before going home.
Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't answer at all, but just mumbled to herself in a dazed tone:
"But by then, many people had already grabbed my hand, and once they grabbed me, they couldn't hold on any longer. If I didn't let go, we would all die together."
Kyosuke Hojo joked, "I'm so afraid of dying, I would definitely carry a parachute with me if I were on an airplane."
In the past, Kasumigaoka would have wrinkled her nose and made a couple of jokes, but now she ignored him and said in a half-asleep, half-awake voice:
"I won't let go. There will be kind-hearted fools who will sacrifice themselves for everyone. After all, not everyone is as selfish as me. They are all stupid."
"but!"
The girl suddenly raised her voice:
"What I want, I will naturally take with my own hands. Why would I need someone else's charity?"
"So, not only did I not let go of your hand, I also grabbed the idiot who did let go!"
She giggled, clearly very pleased with herself.
Kyosuke Hojo laughed too: "Wouldn't that mean we'd all die together?"
"Yes~"
Kasumigaoka Utaha said cheerfully:
"After I die, I will definitely be the most powerful ghost, and no one will be able to beat me then."
Kyosuke Hojo believed this. Someone like Eriri could probably only become a mischievous little sprite, while Utaha-senpai would definitely be the ultimate female ghost, draining life force and devouring bones, but...
Have you forgotten that we have a shrine maiden in our family? Maybe the ancestors of the Miyamizu family have already become ghosts and gods, and then we can meet our cheap mother-in-law.
Lost in his own thoughts, he casually joked around with Shiho, putting the matter of Ikebukuro out of his mind, and decided to instruct Kisaki to gather information the next day.
Once you leave Ikebukuro, you'll be very close to Nyo-i Dormitory, which is why he cares about it.
Upscale residential areas are different; everyone goes to bed early, and there are no overworked office workers coming home in the middle of the night.
In the pitch black, only the three-story Ruyi Dormitory was brightly lit.
Well, there aren't any overworked office workers here, but there's a group of high school girls who don't sleep until after midnight. Even the high school teachers have to stay up late with them. But compared to them, their peers are probably still out at bars, so their lifestyle is incredibly healthy.
Kasumigaoka Utaha also noticed this and couldn't help but secretly purse her lips. She secretly wondered if she could get the publisher to give Eriri more orders, to work that idiot to death and save her from staying up all night.
The reason she only targeted Eriri among all the sober people in the room was because she had it too easy to manipulate her. She was just bored and figured she might as well take advantage of her.
Entering the Ruyi Dormitory from the garage, Momotaro finally came to greet me.
However, Kyosuke Hojo knew that this wasn't because the silly dog had suddenly realized it and knew how to guard the house properly. Rather, it was because it had bitten a mouse that day, so all the girls in the house disliked it and banished it to the garage for solitary confinement.
"Waaaaah! Waaaaah! Waaaaah! (Aniki! You're finally back, I have something to tell you...)"
The fluffy puppy barked and jumped, its cries filled with anger.
Hojo Kyosuke didn't even bother listening; he knew it was definitely an insult.
After getting off the bus, he turned around, grabbed Shiyu's slender waist, and lifted her down.
It's amazing, it feels like playing with a doll.
Thinking this, he unconsciously tightened his grip a little. The incredibly smooth and delicate feel told him that this was definitely a genuine young and beautiful girl. Her skin was firm and smooth, and licking it felt like licking the finest mutton fat jade.
I went up the stairs and opened the door between the garage and the living room.
Kasumigaoka Utaha squeezed in first, shouting "I'm back!" while looking around.
"Oh my god~~ Didn't I hear that Yukinoshita and Kato were supposed to come over today for Kyosuke to tutor them? Why aren't they here? Did they already go home?"
The girl blinked, seemingly innocent, and asked.
Eriri, sitting on the sofa, glanced at her sideways, her eyes full of disdain.
"You woman, I knew you deliberately called Kyosuke away!"
The clever girl had sensed something was wrong before. Although she didn't like studying, being with clutter made even the most painful things become interesting.
But it was different when Yukinoshita was tutoring her. She couldn't hear Kyosuke's nice words at all, and she felt like she had suddenly become an idiot.
Bahga, bahga, bahga!
It's clearly that foolish woman Yukino Yukinoshita who doesn't know how to tutor others. Didn't she see how smart I was when Kyosuke and I were studying together?
(This refers to the fact that even if someone gets so frustrated that they throw down their pen and give up, Hojo Kyosuke can still explain it as a balance between work and rest for better learning.)
