Chapter 309

Since things had reached this point, it was hard to refuse unless the person Ebina Hina called was completely unacceptable.

Only then would everyone have an excuse to distance themselves.

But Ebina Hina wasn't stupid.

Seeing the expressions of Miura Yumiko and Yuigahama Yui, who looked like they had known for a long time, they must have already agreed.

"Thump---"

"Who is it? Do we know them?"

"Your friend, Hina? Is it a guy or a girl?"

His body shook, and the smile Tobe Sho had been maintaining on his face vanished instantly.

Instinctively, he felt something was wrong.

The person Ebina Hina called over was definitely not right.

Could it be a guy?

"Kitakami Yoru?!"

Having always paid attention to the situation between Ebina Hina and Kitakami Yoru, this name popped into Tobe Sho's mind.

His face turned ugly.

"Who is it?"

Hayama Hayato asked at this moment.

"It's Kitakami Yoru."

Miura Yumiko's teeth itched; she twirled her blonde hair and said listlessly.

As soon as Miura Yumiko's words came out, the expressions of the three or four boys changed instantly.

The performance of Hayama Hayato and the other two was relatively better; they were just a little surprised.

When did the relationship between Ebina Hina and Kitakami Yoru become so good?

Tobe Sho, who reacted the most and barely maintained his expression, was the saddest, most shocked, and most anxious person.

"Why hasn't Kitakami-kun come yet?"

"I already told him to arrive at eight and buy the 8:30 Keiyo Line ticket to set off together."

Ignoring the boys' reactions, Ebina Hina continued to observe the pedestrians around her.

She wanted to find Kitakami Yoru's figure among them.

"At this time, he shouldn't be coming, right?"

"How about we go first? We're running out of time!"

Tobe Sho pretended to feel sorry for Kitakami Yoru, and after speaking, he looked directly at Hayama Hayato.

Hayama Hayato first looked at the time, then helped Tobe Sho speak: "It seems he isn't coming. Shall we go?"

"Wait a little longer, just five more minutes; there's no rush."

Ebina Hina began to feel secretly anxious.

"I'll wait with you, Hina."

Yuigahama Yui joined the conversation.

On one hand, she liked Kitakami Yoru; on the other, she was keeping her best friend company.

"I'll wait too."

Miura Yumiko didn't have any intention of waiting for Kitakami Yoru; as for him...

She basically didn't care if he came or not...

Tobe Sho immediately complained, looked hesitantly into the station, but in the end, did not leave the group.

Yet he became increasingly worried and anxious, afraid that Kitakami Yoru would appear in the next second.

Ebina Hina stomped her feet a few times and chose to call to ask about the situation.

"Did something come up last minute and he broke the promise? And he didn't even notify me?"

After successfully connecting, Ebina Hina heard Kitakami Yoru's voice and breathed a sigh of relief.

When she learned that Kitakami Yoru had arrived long ago and was squatting inside the station waiting bitterly, her eyes widened.

"And here I was worried..."

"Kitakami-kun is a reliable person."

Thinking silently, the conversation just now had been heard by everyone.

Tobe Sho's face was extremely ugly.

"So he arrived early. Let's go in."

Miura Yumiko had been waiting a bit impatiently, so she said.

The group set off into the station.

Tobe Sho's footsteps were unsteady; he was clearly distracted and almost bumped into a passerby.

At the very back.

Ebina Hina took the initiative to find Yuigahama Yui, smiled, nudged her shoulder, and said: "Yui, I called Kitakami-kun over; you don't mind, do you?"

"Ah? No, why would you say that, Hina?"

Yuigahama Yui was too happy to be sad; how could she be sad?

"Ah, I almost forgot, you and Kitakami-kun are in the Service Club; you have a good relationship."

"Hee hee, Yui..."

Ebina Hina smiled and began to probe.

"What's wrong?"

Yuigahama Yui asked, puzzled.

"Kitakami-kun is so handsome and good-looking; don't you like him at all, Yui?"

Ebina Hina was actually 95% sure that Yuigahama Yui liked Kitakami Yoru!

"Why would you ask that? Hehe..."

Pausing for several seconds, Yuigahama Yui's answer betrayed her true inner thoughts.

At the same time, she couldn't help but start to feel nervous.

Recently, Hina and Kitakami-kun's relationship had become so good, and they even made an appointment to go to Chiba together.

Could it be that Hina also likes Kitakami-kun?

"Ah?!"

Thinking of this, Yuigahama Yui couldn't even believe her own judgment.

If by any chance... what should she do?

"I can help you, how about that?"

Ebina Hina said something that made Yuigahama Yui turn pale with shock.

"You'll help me?"

As Yuigahama Yui blurted out this sentence, she completely exposed her inner thoughts.

"Yui, you really are..."

Ebina Hina knew she hadn't misjudged.

"But what about you? Don't you like Kitakami-kun?"

Yuigahama Yui regretted her slip of the tongue immensely.

Fortunately, the two were walking slowly, falling far behind Miura Yumiko, who was walking alone at the very front.

"Who said I like Kitakami Yoru?"

Ebina Hina really wanted to laugh, but this was just right.

It would let Tobe Sho understand her meaning, even if it was a misunderstanding.

Yuigahama Yui already thought so; could Tobe Sho not?

"Eh?"

Letting out a sound of doubt, Yuigahama Yui stared blankly at Ebina Hina.

She saw the shadow of herself from a few days ago...

Inside the station.

On one side of the Keiyo Line platform, Miura Yumiko searched around and finally saw Kitakami Yoru in the corner.

Today was an outing, setting off for Chiba.

Normally, for casual wear, it's best to wear sneakers, which are comfortable when walking around.

They can also protect your feet to a certain extent.

But for the sake of beauty and vanity, Miura Yumiko did the opposite.

She wore a small suit with a casual style, paired with black silk stockings pulled up to her thighs, and off-white knee-high boots.

Dressing like this for shopping, plus the bonus of being a blonde gal JK, the head-turning rate was absolutely off the charts.

A shadow suddenly appeared in Kitakami Yoru's line of sight.

Looking up, he discovered it was the spicy and queenly Miura Yumiko walking over.

"So you're here; your relationship with Hina is indeed good."

Miura Yumiko said.

"It's alright. Where are the others?"

Kitakami Yoru stood up, patted his butt, and asked.

"Behind."

Miura Yumiko didn't intend to chat much. She looked back.

A while later.

The group finally arrived.

Kitakami Yoru greeted his two acquaintances, Yuigahama Yui and Ebina Hina.

For the four people, Hayama Hayato and Tobe Sho, a nod was enough.

Wasn't the main thing today just to be a shield?

"What huge secret?"

Muttering to himself, Kitakami Yoru followed beside Ebina Hina and sat down with her.

There were people getting on and off, and there weren't many empty seats.

The three of them managed to grab a row of seats in this carriage.

The rest of the people either stood or went to sit in another carriage.

"So many people. Do so many people go to a countryside place like Chiba?"

With the faint arrogance of a Tokyo native, Miura Yumiko glanced sideways at Kitakami Yoru and took out her phone to play.

Scrolling through short videos, scrolling through online shopping platform stores.

The bored Kitakami Yoru chatted softly with Ebina Hina, treating Miura Yumiko in the middle like air.

The Keiyo Line ride took about an hour and a half.

Arriving in Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture, the distance was really very close.

Also belonging to the Tokyo Metropolitan Area, Chiba, just looking at a few major cities, actually doesn't lose to Tokyo by much.

Under the feet of the Imperial Capital, it wouldn't be too bad!

62: This is not the real thing

After the train broadcast bell reminded them of the arrival.

Miura Yumiko, who was tired of playing with her phone, seemed to have forgotten Kitakami Yoru's existence; she held her phone in one hand and patted her sore butt with the other to relax.

"Directly facing me?"

Kitakami Yoru muttered to himself and turned to look at Ebina Hina.

"Let's go."

Ebina Hina smiled and nodded at Kitakami Yoru, then looked at Miura Yumiko.

The three stood up and lined up one after another to squeeze off the train.

There were quite a few people, and the carriage was packed with people getting off and on.

Miura Yumiko's dazzling blonde hair, carrying a faint fragrance, would brush against Kitakami Yoru's nose from time to time.

It was itchy, making him super want to sneeze.

After finally squeezing off the station, the group reunited.

Kitakami Yoru didn't know the specific itinerary of Miura Yumiko and the others, so he just followed obediently.

Not listening to the conversation of the others, Kitakami Yoru chose to ask Ebina Hina: "What should we do next?"

"Wait for the bus. First, go to the Sea World in Kamogawa City, and finally go to Mother Farm in Futtsu. We've arranged the itinerary."

Ebina Hina signaled Kitakami Yoru not to worry or be anxious.

The service attitude and level of the Japanese are still very good.

Don't talk about one thing to your face and another behind your back.

What, if someone smiles at you when buying something, and the service is good, is it a work requirement, and do they need to bow and scrape behind your back?

"Is the schedule so tight?"

Kitakami Yoru asked suspiciously.

"What? Do you have something else to do?" Ebina Hina asked back and looked Kitakami Yoru up and down.

Seeing Kitakami Yoru shake his head gently, she smiled and added: "Don't worry, we will definitely be able to go home by evening today; one day is enough."

"Hmm... it's just..."

Kitakami Yoru turned his head slightly, looked at the crowd led by Miura Yumiko with the corner of his eye, stepped closer to Ebina Hina, and lowered his voice: "I found that Tobe Sho's gaze has been staying on me."

"You'd better just reject him directly; let me help you."

"If I reject him, we won't even be able to be friends; let's stop this matter here."

"Sorry to trouble you, Kitakami-kun."

Ebina Hina refused without hesitation; it seems she really wants to protect the friendship of these people.

"I feel a bit ridiculous; Miura Yumiko likes Hayama Hayato, right? Many people are spreading this."

Kitakami Yoru lowered his voice and quickly turned his head to glance at the blonde gal.

"Hmm, no way... sigh..."

Ebina Hina sighed and gave Kitakami Yoru a wink.

The minibus reserved to pick everyone up finally drove over.

"Hina, Kitakami-kun, it's time to go."

Yuigahama Yui waved at the position where Kitakami Yoru was and urged.

After the words fell, several people including Miura Yumiko realized belatedly that Kitakami Yoru and Ebina Hina were not nearby.

Separated by a short distance, the two were whispering.

"This... could Hina really be like what I thought, falling for that guy Kitakami Yoru?"

"When exactly did the relationship progress so rapidly..."

Miura Yumiko, a good friend who is almost inseparable, is very curious about this.

But now, it's not the time to talk about these things.

Under the arrangement of the driver, the group got on the minibus.

Ebina Hina sat in the passenger seat first and fastened her seat belt.

Kitakami Yoru had an average relationship with the others, so he chose to sit with Yuigahama Yui.

"Yuigahama-san."

After sitting down, Kitakami Yoru greeted her with a casual smile.

"Kitakami-kun, I haven't seen you for a few days."

"Is the art club matter... still... still going smoothly?"

Yuigahama Yui bit her lower lip and asked cautiously.

"It's alright, just a little tired."

Kitakami Yoru nodded.

Except for a cute little blonde who sprays water everywhere and isn't very obedient, everything else is going great.

"It's really surprising that the person Hina called over would be you."

Yuigahama Yui looked up and looked at Ebina Hina, who was sitting alone, through the rearview mirror.

"Did she tell you why she called me over?"

Kitakami Yoru looked at Yuigahama Yui and asked.

Meeting her eyes, Yuigahama Yui looked away in a panic, pretending to go look at the scenery.
