Chapter 324: Being stepped on by Shiori?
Mine Shiori hesitated for a moment, but finally picked up the black pen beside him and started writing his wishes on the Ema.
This is a part of visiting the shrine. After writing their wishes, people will hang the Ema on the wall or tree of the shrine specially used to leave cards, to pray that what they want will eventually happen.
Haruno Sawayama's wish was very simple. He first wrote about Maki and the babies, then he wrote about the other girls around him and his family in the countryside of Osaka, and the last one wrote about himself. Work-related content.
Hmm. The writing is very full. I don’t know if the gods will realize so many wishes. Am I a little too greedy?
Haruno Sawayama picked up the Ema, turned around and said with a smile: "Have you finished writing Shiori?"
"When you've finished writing, where do you want to hang it?"
Mine Shiori had finished it long ago and was holding the piece of Ema tightly in her arms.
It was obvious that he didn't want the other person to see his wish.
Although he was not sure, Sawayama Haruno had a vague answer in his heart.
He cleverly hid his thoughts temporarily and said casually: "It should be next to the main hall at the back. Let's go out and take a look first."
There are two identical paths that can be accessed here. If you go further out, you can see the main hall just around the corner.
After Haruno Sawayama brought Mine Shiori out, he noticed that there was a big tree that had lost all its leaves in the courtyard where the main hall is located.
Even in the cold winter, the branches still look extremely thick. At this moment, there are a lot of ema hanging on them. They are gently colliding with the wind and emitting some moving strings.
“The number is more than expected”
Haruno Sawayama walked over curiously. After visually checking the distance between himself and the branch, he lightly jumped on tiptoes and hung his Ema firmly on the branch.
Done.
Haruno Sawayama clapped his hands with satisfaction, but after noticing Shiori Mine who looked a little embarrassed on the side, he remembered that the other person seemed not tall enough to touch the branches.
"Shall I help you?"
".I want to hang it myself."
Hearing what Haruno Sawayama said, Mine Shiori subconsciously hugged Ema tighter.
She wrote a wish on it that she didn't want Haruno to see. Although the other party would definitely be able to guess it. But after breaking through the window paper, the relationship between the two would definitely undergo new changes.
Mine Shiori didn't want this change to widen the distance between herself and Sawayama Haruno, so she rejected the other party's kindness.
"But you can't do it yourself?"
Sawayama Haruno looked around the courtyard and suddenly felt a headache.
“There are no stools or chairs here that can be used to raise the height, and Shiori, you can’t climb trees, right?”
"Indeed not."
Feng Shizhi looked at the big tree in front of him with some confusion.
If it were a more formal shrine, staff would have come to help with forks or tongs, but there were not many people in this shrine, and the only priest was still cleaning the steps of the mountain path.
In this case, it seems that there is only one way left.
Feng Shiori hesitated for a moment, then asked with some struggle: "Haruno, can you help me hang it up?"
"Hold it?"
Zeshan Haruno was startled when he heard this.
At this distance, there is no problem in sending Mine Shiori up with a support, but in this case, physical contact will definitely be indispensable.
Recalling what happened while soaking in the hot springs at noon today, Haruno Sawayama suddenly felt his heartbeat speeding up slightly for some reason.
"It's okay if you don't mind. Do you want me to pick you up or let you step on my shoulders?" Haruno Sawayama was unsure.
"Is it OK to step on the shoulder?"
Feng Shizhi looked at him suspiciously.
Although my weight is very light, I still weigh about seventy or eighty pounds here. It may not be a problem to hold it up, but if I want to step on my shoulders and hang an Ema, it will still be somewhat difficult, right?
"You look down on people too much."
Haruno Sawayama shrugged and said with a smile: "Don't say stepping on your shoulders, it's no problem if you step on your hands."
"It's still the shoulder."
Feng Shizhi pursed her lips and whispered: "I'm afraid I'll fall down later."
"No, Shiori is so light that it won't do anything to me."
Sawayama Haruno took the initiative to squat in front of the big tree and signaled Feng Shiori to step on it quickly.
After noticing his actions, Mine Shiori hesitated for a long time, but finally she obediently took off her shoes and prepared to hang the Ema on the tree by stepping on Haruno Sawayama's shoulders.
To prevent slipping, she even took off her pink socks.
While carefully supporting Haruno Sawayama and slowly placing her feet on the other person's shoulders, Mine Shiori realized that the other person's physical fitness seemed to be better than she had imagined.
It's just like walking on the ground normally, there is no swaying feeling at all. Mine Shiori thought to herself.
"Haruno, is there really no problem?"
"No, come up quickly, I'm going to stand up."
Haruno Sawayama is full of confidence, and the opponent's weight is not worth mentioning to him.
Not to mention Mine Shiori alone, even if Maki Mana and Suguha are included, it won't be a big deal to him.
Since he completed the system's tasks, his strength has grown day by day. So far, he has not suffered a loss due to his physical strength.
"Then I'm coming up"
Seeing what Sawayama Haruno said, Mine Shiori no longer hesitated. She decided to make a quick decision and quietly hung up her Ema as quickly as possible, so she stepped on it directly, standing completely on Sawayama Haruno's shoulders.
"Don't look up."
"You can't see. Just stand still and I'll hold your legs."
"I really can't watch it, I."
Feng Shizhi's face turned a little red.
She just remembered that she was wearing a skirt today.
Despite the presence of leggings, her conservative personality still made her feel unspeakably ashamed of the current situation.
Fortunately, in order to stabilize her figure, Sawayama Haruno didn't raise her head or move much after standing up.
Feng Shizhi was relieved in her heart, but she also felt a little disappointed for some reason.
It’s obviously a good opportunity
While muttering in her mind, she gently hung the Ema in her hand on a branch nearby.
In order to prevent Haruno Sawayama from looking up to see the contents of the ema after she came down, she also deliberately hung the ema facing the big tree, fitting it closely with the ema of the person in front, so as to avoid being discovered by people behind. content.
"Okay, okay."
"Then I'll squat down, be careful."
Sawayama Haruno slowly squatted back on the ground, allowing Mine Shiori to land again smoothly.
By the time he stood up again, the petite girl was blushing and was wearing pink socks again.
"Give me Haruno's coat." She suddenly said.
"Huh?"
Sawayama Haruno took off his coat with some confusion.
"Are you cold?"
"No."
Feng Shizhi snatched the coat and whispered: "I stepped on it, and I will give it to you after washing it."
Her eyes were a little evasive, as if she didn't dare to look at the other person.
Haruno Sawayama, who originally wanted to say "I don't care," couldn't help but laugh after noticing the change in her expression.
"Then please." He said with a smile.
The other person looked surprisingly cute in this aspect, and his coat was obviously not stained.
Hey, are you afraid that you will smell it when you look back?
He is not perverted to this extent yet, although there are such people around him
"Go back, Suguha may be awake too."
Feng Shizhi held the coat in her arms and whispered: "If we don't go back, she may worry about us."
"That's right, it's almost four o'clock now."
Haruno Sawayama took out his mobile phone and took a few glances.
After confirming the time, he switched to LINE and checked the text messages.
Several of them were sent by Maki Miyazawa, who seemed to have just gotten off work and was about to go to the hospital with his family for a check-up.
"Let's go, I have to take a taxi to the city center to eat Thai food tonight." Haruno Sawayama said casually.
The biggest disadvantage of a hot spring hotel located in the suburbs is that there really isn’t anything good to eat nearby. Fortunately, it’s not far from the city center. As long as you’re willing to spend money on a taxi, it only takes less than 20 minutes. You can get to the nearby city center and even drive directly back to Tokyo in 40 minutes.
After hearing what Haruno Sawayama said, Mine Shiori showed no objection.
She nodded obediently, and then followed Haruno Sawayama and walked back the way she came.
When they all returned to the hotel, they happened to meet Ezaki Suguha who had just woken up.
At this moment, she was standing in the corridor outside the room, looking at Haruno Sawayama and Shiori Mine, who had returned together, with a hint of suspicion in her eyes.
"After we woke up, we went to visit the shrine above."
Seeing that she seemed a little confused, Haruno Sawayama took the initiative to explain.
"Really? Is there a shrine in a place like this?"
Esaki Suguha blinked and suddenly smiled with some unknown meaning.
"Are you going out to eat tonight?"
She looked at her master with a smile, as if she had guessed something.
After all, Sawayama Haruno's jacket is still in Mine Shiori's hands. Faced with this existence that is like ironclad evidence, even if he wants to explain something, Esaki Suguha will probably find it difficult to believe it.
So Feng Shiori didn't say anything, she just silently hugged the coat tightly, and then took the lead in looking away.
"Thai cuisine, I have already booked the restaurant, so I can change my clothes and set off directly."
Haruno Sawayama took the initiative to take over the topic. He pushed Suguha Esaki back to his room, trying to make Shiori Mine less embarrassed as possible.
In fact, his approach seemed a bit worrying, because Esaki Suguha had no intention of targeting Mine Shiori, but just wanted to tease him.
However, after noticing that her master's expression was a little embarrassed, she followed her boyfriend back to the room, leaving Mine Shiori alone to calm down.
