Chapter 1023

At once, Terumi Mei's footsteps paused and she stopped on the spot.

Following Terumi Mei's gaze, Mizunuki Ryosuke also looked over and found that a large "Book" character was hanging in front of the shop.

Obviously, this is a bookstore.

And there is no need to say much about the reason why Terumi Mei stopped, because she is a heavy enthusiast of rotten girl novels, and the content she usually reads seems to be somewhat "unbearable to look at" for Mizunuki Ryosuke.

Seeming to recall something again, Ryosuke revealed a somewhat helpless and dumbfounded expression.

He turned to look at Terumi Mei, only to see a hint of longing in the girl's eyes.

Seeing this look on Terumi Mei, Mizunuki Ryosuke also had a bit of mischievous teasing in his heart.

So, knowing the reason why the girl stopped, he still pretended not to know and asked intentionally.

"Mei, what's wrong."

"Is there something?"

Hearing Mizunuki Ryosuke's voice ringing in her ears, Terumi Mei suddenly came back to her senses, her face still having a bit of embarrassment at having her thoughts exposed.

At once, her face couldn't help but turn slightly red again.

The hobby of liking small "H" novels cannot be known by Mizunuki Ryosuke, because for Terumi Mei, this is an absolutely forbidden item!

Because in the books Terumi Mei likes, the protagonist is none other than this "Captain Ryosuke" standing in front of her.

In order to avoid having her dark history exposed, Terumi Mei subconsciously spoke in a half-concealed way.

"No, nothing."

It was just that because her face was full of suspicious blushes, her tone was full of suspicious flavor.

Terumi Mei's blushing defense made Mizunuki Ryosuke's inner mischief become more and more intense.

A hint of teasing flashed in Ryosuke's dark eyes; he deliberately pretended to be ignorant and said with profound meaning.

"Ah, you thought of little Yuri, right."

"I remember she seems to like reading rotten girl novels, right."

Mizunuki Ryosuke's deliberately emotional words reached Terumi Mei's ears again, which also made Terumi Mei's pretty face full of guilty expressions, and her coquettish, fair face became even more crimson.

What Mizunuki Ryosuke mentioned is exactly the embarrassing thing that happened to Terumi Mei when she was in the Mist Village.

And at that time, in order to avoid the ending of social death, Terumi Mei directly chose to "sacrifice the friend to save oneself."

She simply sold out her "plastic sister" Ringo Ameyuri, letting her take the blame to muddle through.

Terumi Mei didn't expect that at this juncture, this embarrassing thing would be mentioned by Mizunuki Ryosuke again, which made her feel shy and embarrassed.

But things having reached this point, it can only be said that one wrong step leads to wrong steps.

The evil she committed herself, now she can only pinch her nose and admit it.

"Yes, no, that's right!!"

"I just saw this bookstore and suddenly thought of Yuri-chan!!"

"Captain Ryosuke, your memory is so good that you still remember this."

Terumi Mei stared with a blushing pretty face, barely explaining to Mizunuki Ryosuke.

While speaking, Terumi Mei only prayed that her explanation could muddle through, because she really didn't want this dark history to be mentioned again in front of Mizunuki Ryosuke.

But obviously, Mizunuki Ryosuke, who was full of mischief, didn't want this page to be turned over so easily.

"Is that so..."

"Then since that's the case, let's go in and stroll around, just as a 'gift' for little Yuri who is still in the Mist."

Mizunuki Ryosuke said with a calm smile, but the depths of his eyes carried a hint of malicious depth.

It was just that for Mizunuki Ryosuke's "malice," Terumi Mei, who was immersed in inner anxiety and guilt, did not notice it at all.

"This, this..."

"I..."

"Okay..."

Terumi Mei struggled for a moment, but finally nodded with a red face, which was considered tacitly agreeing to everything.

Just like this, Ryosuke with a "873" wicked smile and Terumi Mei with a guilty, blushing face walked into this bookstore.

At the same time, Mist Village.

Ringo Ameyuri, who was walking on the street, suddenly sneezed continuously.

"Achoo!!!"

"Did I catch a cold?"

"That shouldn't be..."

Ringo Ameyuri scratched her little nose in confusion and thought to herself.

I don't know when it started, but she would always sneeze for no reason.

If she had to trace it, it seemed that she had often had this symptom since the last time she helped her "good sister" take the blame.

And every time she recalled this matter, Ringo Ameyuri still felt a bit angry.

But the "sincere" compensation that Terumi Mei paid without hesitation afterwards still made her forgive this guy who "stabbed her sister twice."

"Sigh..."

Thinking of this, Ringo Ameyuri couldn't help but sigh lightly.

Regarding Terumi Mei's thoughts, how could she not know?

The reason why she gladly took the blame for Terumi Mei was not without the idea of helping her and hoping she could get what she wanted.

It's just...

"Lord Mizukage is too excellent; can you really succeed?"

After whispering secretly in her heart, Ringo Ameyuri didn't think much more and continued to walk forward with big strides.

It's just that I don't know how she would feel if she knew that her "good sister" far away in the Land of Iron had used her as a shield again.
