Chapter 138

Amid his wails, he moved further and further away from the room with the four people.

After packing his luggage, Ishikawa Hayato sat silently at the table.

Although the room contained the most comfortable solid wood bed he could sleep in, he felt no joy whatsoever.

Compared to being several kilometers or even more than ten kilometers apart, being under the same roof but unable to get close by more than ten meters is far more agonizing.

He started thinking about it the moment he realized he was sleeping on bedding.

On the left are Bocchi and Ryo, and on the right are Nijika and Kita.

On the left, it would be Bocchi and Kita; on the right, it would be Nijika and Ryo.

Before they fall asleep, you can see the pajamas they would never normally see, talk about scary things before bed, and listen to Nijika and Kita's screams. Ryo and Bocchi might not be afraid.

After they fall asleep, you can hear their even breathing, see their peaceful sleeping faces, and observe their sleeping postures, whether they are in a mess or soundly rested.

You can see them in the first rays of the morning sun, the first thing you see when you open your eyes, you can see them groggily getting up in the morning, and you can greet them, chat about breakfast and the day's plans.

And now...

Ishikawa Hayato felt as if he were in a prison, surrounded by a dark cage, and his world had lost all light.

Beep beep.

"Hayato-kun, we're going to the beach now, do you want to come?"

Nijika's voice came from outside the door.

Ishikawa Hayato immediately stood up, the sunlight shining on his back, filling him with energy.

"Holy crap!"

120. Ambulance

After packing his things for the beach trip, Ishikawa Hayato changed his clothes and headed downstairs.

His footsteps were hurried, echoing loudly on the wooden stairs.

Upon arriving on the first floor and passing through the corridor, the lobby and entryway came into view in the bright light.

Next to the door was a small cart with a large stack of beach gear on it; beach chairs, parasols, and inflatable dolls took up a lot of visual space.

But that wasn't the most eye-catching thing. What truly drew attention were the four young girls standing in the entryway.

Liang leaned lazily against the wall, staring blankly at her phone.

She wore a semi-transparent sun-protective jacket, the oversized jacket concealing her swimsuit underneath, but her long, slender legs were casually exposed.

Only after noticing Ishikawa Hayato's arrival did she raise her eyes and glance at Ishikawa Hayato.

Beside her was Nijika, who was smiling with a rare mischievous expression. She was wearing a short T-shirt, which matched her high-waisted swimsuit very naturally.

As if to prevent Bocchi from escaping, she placed her hands on Bocchi's shoulders, but at the same time, as if shy, she bent over slightly and hid her legs behind her.

Just a few seconds ago, Ishikawa Hayato had heard her whisper instructions to Bocchi.

"Bocchi-chan, don't run away!"

Bocchi stood in the center. In the past, whenever she sensed even the slightest malice, her facial features would contort, and she would make a frightening expression.

But at this moment, she simply lowered her head, pursed her lips, and her lips trembled slightly, as if expectant, or perhaps anxiously waiting for something.

She was wearing a stand-up collar shirt, but the buttons were undone, revealing a black swimsuit underneath that contrasted sharply with her skin tone.

The black swimsuit with a light-colored ruffle trim is very eye-catching, and in the center of the chest is a cute little pink Hallokittey sticker.

Her legs trembled slightly as she tried to stay still.

"Mmm," she responded in a barely audible voice.

Kita, standing nearby, also grabbed Bocchi with a mischievous grin and pulled her arm.

Both she and Nijika hid wounded hearts behind their smiles.

All four were ready to go to the beach, wearing swimsuits and beach sandals.

A variety of swimsuits, girls in different poses, pairs of bare long legs, and small feet in beach shoes dazzled the eye.

Ishikawa Hayato stared at the heavenly scenery for a moment, and just as Nijika was about to tease him, he came to his senses, stepped forward solemnly, and bowed to them with a majestic air.

"Please let me take a picture!"

The girls were startled by his sudden and intense reaction.

Hearing his request, they felt an unsurprising sense of helplessness.

Apart from Liang, the other three called his name with conflicted and helpless expressions.

"Falcon..."/"Hayato-kun..."/"Ishikawa-kun..."

But their voices rang out at the same time, and after the three looked at each other, the other two handed the floor to Nijika.

Nijika breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Ishikawa Hayato.

"How could we possibly let you take pictures like this?"

"I will cherish it!"

Ishikawa Hayato's face radiated a confident sense of justice.

"I'm just afraid you'll cherish it too much!! Hey!"

Seeing that things were hopeless, Ishikawa Hayato was not discouraged. He stood up straight again and looked at the four swimsuit-clad beauties standing in front of him.

"It seems we'll have to use these eyes to record this. Let's go! Time spent sightseeing is precious!"

Although he said he was leaving, they thought he was about to pounce on them, and the four of them immediately tensed up.

"Wait!" Nijika cried out in alarm.

"Ah... ah!"

Bocchi was filled with a mixture of excitement and panic.

"What are you doing!" Kita.

Liang's eyes widened considerably, and she turned away slightly.

"Well, people say they just record it with their eyes..."

Ishikawa Hayato pushed the cart among the four of them, looking aggrieved. The bruise on his face from the heavy punch he had taken was beginning to fade.

The one who caused him harm was naturally the drummer, who appeared to be the smallest in the band but was actually incredibly strong...

Hearing the boy beside her actually dare to complain, Nijika sighed.

"No matter what, it's not right that Hayato-kun suddenly pounced on us."

"Everyone's wearing swimsuits..."

Kita also reminded Ishikawa Hayato.

They don't usually mind if Ishikawa Hayato touches them, after all, they're all in the same band, and their relationship is like this.

But changing into a swimsuit feels completely different.

In this situation, it's easy for large areas of skin to come into contact.

In fact, apart from Kita, who had already gotten used to it, everyone else felt a little shy just from Ishikawa Hayato seeing them in their swimsuits.

Seeing that Ishikawa Hayato was silent, Nijika felt that the conversation was about to stop, but she dared not stop the topic at this moment, because if it quieted down, the atmosphere would become terribly awkward.

She quickly changed the subject.

"Speaking of which! Hayato-kun is dressed properly, that's really impressive."

"You usually dress well, don't you?"

"I can't help but complain," someone nearby remarked.

"You mean Ishikawa-kun would go to the beach wearing just a pair of swim trunks?" Kita explained.

"That's right!" Nijika turned to Kita and replied earnestly.

What impression do you all have of me...?

Ishikawa Hayato sighed as he pushed the stroller.

"I... I believe Hayabusa will get dressed..."

Bocchi rarely expressed his opinion, which drew surprised looks from the four people next to him.

However, her voice sounded hesitant and uncertain, almost as if she was offering support for the sake of offering support.

"Hmm, there are still people in the band who care about me... Bocchi is the best."

Ishikawa Hayato was so moved that his eyes welled up with tears.

Nijika had been paying attention to Bocchi when he Bocchi.

When Bocchi spoke, her face showed trepidation and hesitation, but when she heard Ishikawa Hayato's praise, she immediately showed a silly, happy smile.

"Bocchi-chan..." she sighed softly.

Kita how happy Ishikawa Hayato and Bocchi were, Kita thought for a moment and then teased them.

"Speaking of which, Ishikawa-kun hasn't complimented Gotou-san all since the beginning."

Ishikawa Hayato glanced at Bocchi and saw her eyes widen in unease at Kita's words.

He could probably understand her desire to hear, yet also her fear, and spoke without much hesitation.

"Even though we've come this far, let me go through the motions and, with my sincerest words, give a detailed compliment to everyone's swimsuits from head to toe."

"No, please don't!"

Nijika quickly stopped her.

"It's a pity everyone is so beautiful..."

Hearing Ishikawa Hayato's feigned regret, Kita cursed inwardly at the guy's cunning.

As the five joked and played, the beach drew closer and closer, and the sea transformed from a distant bay into an endless expanse that filled most of their field of vision.

It wasn't their first time seeing the sea, but after such a long time, they were still instantly captivated by the magnificent grandeur of nature.

The magnificent landscapes of nature possess this magical allure.

They stopped and gazed at the sea, the sound of crashing waves filling their ears, and the cries of seagulls surrounding them.

Nijika opened her eyes wide in surprise, the extremely bright light making her pupils shine.

She quickly regained her senses and looked at the others.

Liang's expression remained calm, but her eyes were slightly wide open as she gazed at the sea, as if she were enjoying it.

On the other side, Ishikawa Hayato pulled the stroller with both hands, his gaze gentle, devoid of his usual liveliness and playfulness.

His quiet expression made Nijika glance at him a few more times.

She was surprised that Hayato-kun could be so quiet, and looked further to the right.

But her gaze met Bocchi's, and Bocchi's expression immediately tensed up. He waved his hands frantically, about to speak, when Nijika smiled slightly at her.

Bocchi quickly quieted down.

There's no need to look at the far right; the continuous camera shutter sounds say it all.

"Everyone! Let's head towards the sea!"

Seeing everyone's excited expressions, Nijika excitedly cheered and shouted to liven up the atmosphere.

"Oh~"

Ishikawa Hayato looked at the swimsuit-clad girls around him and shouted with immense excitement.

Others responded in varying degrees.
