Chapter 131

The two glanced at the scene briefly before preparing to leave from the other side.

Walking around the operating table, Kita didn't dare look at the operating table reflecting her image. She smiled stiffly at Ishikawa Hayato.

"The layout here is quite scary."

Ishikawa Hayato glanced back as he answered.

"Yeah, this place will definitely become one of the scariest haunted houses in Japan in the future."

Upon hearing his words, Kita blinked rapidly, then, as if against his conscience, gritted his teeth and handed over his phone to Ishikawa Hayato.

"Ishi... Ishikawa-kun..."

"You don't mean to take pictures here, do you?" Ishikawa Hayato asked, looking at the girl who had just been somewhat frightened.

Kita Ishikawa Hayato no longer seemed afraid, and she spoke out what had just occurred to her.

"Taking photos in this kind of terrifying haunted house will definitely gain you a lot of followers!"

She seemed oblivious to the surroundings when she thought about gaining followers, smiling radiantly.

After she finished speaking, she handed the phone to Ishikawa Hayato and smiled as she prepared to take a picture.

Ishikawa Hayato took the phone, but instead of taking a picture of Kita, he silently pointed to the ghost that had been waiting behind her for a long time.

Kita turned around, confused, but the first thing she saw was a head wrapped in bandages and covered in blood.

The excitement in her eyes quickly vanished, and she stood there stunned for a while before screaming.

"Yaaaaaah!!!"

She lunged at Ishikawa Hayato in an instant.

Ishikawa Hayato caught her, suppressing a laugh, and quickly escorted her out of the operating room.

They ran for quite a distance before stopping.

Ishikawa Hayato looked at Kita, who was visibly frightened and had tears in his eyes, and asked with a smile.

"The scenery here is beautiful, let's take a picture."

Kita Ishikawa Hayato was still bullying him, so he kicked Ishikawa's shin, but he still held Ishikawa Hayato's waist tightly and showed no intention of letting go.

Afterwards, Kita Ishikawa Hayato seemed completely unafraid. Although she had some doubts, she played around in the haunted house with even more joy, screaming.

Ishikawa Hayato protected her as she screamed in fear.

Until halfway through.

Standing before an old, ancient gate, Kita looked at Ishikawa Hayato, who stood motionless at the entrance, and walked forward in surprise.

Aside from the time on the operating table, whenever there was a door to open or other places where there was a possibility of seeing horrific scenes, Ishikawa Hayato would go first.

She had assumed that Ishikawa Hayato had been pretending to be afraid of ghosts to avoid entering the haunted house, but now she wondered if he was remembering his past self and pretending to be afraid to go in again.

"Ishikawa-kun, what's wrong?"

Kita spoke, Kita walked towards the gate.

"Um, Kita, how about we stop here?"

"Ishikawa Hayato said, looking embarrassed."

"You're not only admitting you're scared now, are you?" Kita placed his hand on the doorway, turning back to look at Ishikawa Hayato with disdain.

Just as Ishikawa Hayato was about to say something, he suddenly shuddered, his expression changed, and he stared intently to the side.

Kita was startled by his reaction and quickly looked to the side.

But there was nothing there except a wall covered in moss.

Suddenly, something lit up, Kita, quickly walking towards Ishikawa Hayato.

But as the thing drifted closer, Kita realized it was a firefly.

"What? Ishikawa-kun, don't scare me like that."

She sighed, then ignored Ishikawa Hayato and pushed open the wooden door.

The view behind the door was completely different from the horrors she had seen before.

A bright green light floated in the air, the dark soil was completely covered by green plants, and a clear spring in the corner of the yard reflected countless faint green lights.

Kita watched this scene with surprise, but the next moment, a burst of emerald green light suddenly flew towards Kita.

Before she could react, Ishikawa Hayato suddenly hugged her from behind and ran away.

As Kita breathed a sigh of relief, a suspicion began to form in his mind.

After confirming it, Kita hid next to the flower bed, laughing so hard he could hardly breathe.

"Ishikawa-kun is afraid of fireflies... Hahaha, I can't take it anymore, hahaha!"

"It's an insect! Not a firefly!"

Ishikawa Hayato tried his best to explain, but Kita was already laughing uncontrollably and wouldn't listen to his explanation at all.

He watched as Kita's face gradually darkened, then silently took out his phone and snapped a picture of Kita, who was laughing hysterically.

A moment later, the two switched sides, with Kita chasing after Ishikawa Hayato, Ishikawa Hayato proudly ran ahead holding up his phone.

"Delete those photos! Delete them!"

"Kita's dark history has grown again~"

115. Belong

"How was it, Kita? Did you have fun today?"

After playing all morning, Ishikawa Hayato and Kita sat together in the amusement park's restaurant for lunch.

Hearing what he said, Kita bit his spoon and smiled, but his face quickly fell again, and he complained.

"Ishikawa-kun must be the happiest, taking so many weird photos of me."

By morning, Ishikawa Hayato's phone was filled with all sorts of photos of Kita, mostly photos of the two of them together, followed by beautiful photos that Kita asked him to take, and finally, all sorts of unflattering photos of Kita.

Although Kita didn't see it, he could imagine the classic 'boyfriend-taken photos' on his phone.

She feigned anger, but quickly revealed her true intentions, stating her true purpose.

"If you delete it, I'll give you full marks."

As she spoke, she seemed to see her victory and smiled happily.

She clearly felt that if it were today, Ishikawa Hayato would give way to her.

But one sentence from Ishikawa Hayato made her expression freeze.

"No!"

Ishikawa Hayato didn't back down an inch, scoring twice, speaking in a long, forward-looking tone.

"If my child doesn't get pocket money in the future, I'll have him take these precious materials I've collected to Kita to get his allowance!"

"That's terrible!"

Kita laughed and complained, not knowing why she could still laugh even though he was teasing her like that.

After they finished eating, seeing that there weren't many customers in the restaurant, they weren't in a hurry to leave.

They ordered another drink and sat in the air-conditioned restaurant to cool off.

"Ishikawa-kun, what are the plans for this afternoon?"

Kita spoke with the straw still in his mouth, his voice slightly muffled.

Ishikawa Hayato watched as she leaned forward, her hands resting on the table, slowly sipping her drink, her energetic eyes looking up at him.

He confirmed this as if in consultation.

"There's a theatrical performance in half an hour, followed by an animal show in an hour, and then we'll go to the water park, shall we?"

He wondered if it was just his imagination, but Kita getting more and more relaxed around him.

"Okay, that's good."

Kita nodded in satisfaction; she didn't want to continue playing thrilling games after lunch.

Not long after, the two left the restaurant.

After leaving the restaurant, Kita's excitement from lunch had subsided considerably. Unlike in the morning, he didn't immediately link arms with Ishikawa Hayato. Instead, the two walked hand in hand toward the theater.

After a few steps, Ishikawa Hayato took out his phone to check the time.

There's still plenty of time before the performance; if we just go there, we'll just be sitting there doing nothing.

He looked around and saw an arcade not far away. Just as he was about to call Kita to go with him, he noticed that Kita was looking elsewhere.

He followed Kita's gaze.

On the side wall where they had just come from, there was now a tall and cute sticker, and a staff member was enthusiastically greeting people next to it at midday.

"Want to join our event? We have special offers at our store, come and join us..."

They didn't see the event when they went in; it only started while they were eating.

Ishikawa Hayato glanced at it; the activity was basically high knees, and you could get a reward based on how high you could lift your knees.

The rewards listed above are mostly discounts, and include various dishes and amusement park souvenirs.

It had little to do with them anymore, since they had already finished eating and left.

He glanced at Kita again, noticing she was wearing a skirt, and asked...

"What, is there something you want Kita?"

"Ah... um." Kita glanced at Ishikawa Hayato, looking bewildered by the question, then quickly looked back at the reward list.

"Xidailu! The second-place Xidailu doll... I really want it, but I'm wearing a skirt, so I guess I'll pass."

"Hmph." Ishikawa Hayato tilted his head back smugly and patted his chest.

"Call your boyfriend's name, and I'll get it for you."

Kita smiled at his flamboyant manner and began to speak without thinking, but stopped halfway through her sentence.

"Sun... this event looks pretty difficult. The second place winner has to lift their leg to a height of 1.9 meters. Ishikawa-kun- kun, even though I called on you, you can't do it."

Ishikawa Hayato couldn't stand being questioned like that, so he immediately grabbed Kita's hand and led him away.

"Let me show you my strength!"

Seeing Ishikawa Hayato pulling her along ahead, Kita quickened her pace to catch up, teasingly remarking.

"If you can do that, I'll grant you one request."

"Real?"

Ishikawa Hayato turned around and asked her in surprise to confirm.

Kita how excited he was, Kita didn't deny what she had said on impulse. She smiled brightly and said...

"Hmm! But I won't agree to any lewd requests."

Looking at her adorable appearance, Ishikawa Hayato breathed a sigh of relief and swept his bangs back.

"From this moment forward, the highest throne belongs to me."

Kita looked helplessly at Ishikawa Hayato, who was having intermittent episodes of illness.

Walking up to the staff member, Ishikawa Hayato got straight to the point.

"May those who were dining here participate in the activity?"

Finally, someone paid attention to her, and the staff member breathed a sigh of relief. She smiled and gave an affirmative answer.

Seeing that Ishikawa Hayato was already impatient, she briefly explained the rules.

Meanwhile, Ishikawa Hayato warmed up by jumping around on the spot, listening intently to her. After she finished speaking, he confirmed it.

"Can I begin now?"
