Soyo Got Drunk (Continued)

Why do you say that?

"Very good at scolding people."

"Don't make me sound like I have a terrible temper!" Shiina Riki frowned and said with displeasure.

Rikki gave eight stones of gentleness to Deng, two stones of gentleness to Hailing and the former members of Crychic, and Riki, Chihaya Anon, and Kaname Runa owed a total of ninety stones.

The scenery outside the train was quite nice, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, but after looking at it for a while, I started to get a little tired of it.

"How about we play cards? Three people can play Joker." Nagasaki Sose took out a deck of cards from her bag, thought for a moment, and said, "The loser... should give the person next to them a hug. The one who breaks the rules is a little dog. Now, I'll deal the cards!"

"Hey, why are you talking to yourself like that..." Shiina Riki frowned, but her expression softened a bit when she saw the cards dealt to her. Many of them were pairs, so she immediately threw away a third of the cards that were in pairs.

That's a good hand; we're sure to win.

Shiina Riki has a very strong competitive spirit; otherwise, she wouldn't often compare herself to her sister and Sakiko.

Nagasaki Sose smiled as she held her cards. Her surprise attack had caught Riki and Rikki completely off guard, as neither of them had noticed that her cards hadn't been shuffled. Riki had the most cards left in his hand, and he was certain he would lose and then willingly hug her.

Perfect!

"You didn't secretly make any marks, did you?" Riki asked Nagasaki Sose.

"Only you would do something so shameless," Nagasaki Sose said calmly.

Her heart skipped a beat. She should have secretly made a mark; she had miscalculated.

Riki got serious. As the Spring Outing God of War, he had never lost a single match. Time to draw!

A few minutes later, there were many pairs of playing cards on the table.

Riki placed the last card in her hand on the table. "You guys don't think I'm a weak Card Player, do you?"

The battle was exhilarating!

Nagasaki Sose and Shiina Riki's faces both froze.

Nagasaki Sose was dumbfounded. Why was he so good at cards? If I won, that would be fine, but if I lost, wouldn't Rikki- chan have to hug Riki?

Is she going to be someone else's stepping stone again?

No, as long as we lose, it's fine!

"I won." Nagasaki Sose lowered her head and weakly placed the last pair of cards on the table.

Looking at Shiina Riki, whose face was flushed red, Riki comforted her, "Don't worry about the punishment. Su Shi was just saying it casually."

"Yes, yes!" Nagasaki Sose quickly replied, completely forgetting her earlier comment about being a puppy for breaking the contract.

"I'm not one to go back on my word!"

Shiina Riki took a deep breath, stiffly walked over and hugged Riki, then stiffly returned to her seat.

"It's less of an embrace and more of a cross lock," Riki commented.

It seems that Rikki isn't good at such close contact with people.

"It's so noisy!"

Shiina Riki, embarrassed and angry, propped her chin on her hand and looked out the window. "Anyway, I'm just not likable... Speaking of which, you didn't team up with him to deliberately mess with me, did you?"

Shiina Riki looked at Nagasaki Sose with suspicion.

Nagasaki Sose smiled gently, her hands crumpling the playing cards in her hand.

Rikki- chan, you stole my prepared plan and even said I did it on purpose! Even Rikki- chan can't forgive that!

Nagasaki Sose took a deep breath and smiled again.

Fortunately, she had another plan; two days is a long time.

Seeing Riki stand up, she said, "Where are you going? I'll come with you."

"I need to go to the restroom," Riki said.

Nagasaki Sose awkwardly sat back down in her seat. "Then you can go by yourself."

You promised to come with me!

Watching Riki's retreating figure, Nagasaki Sose heard Shiina Riki's voice and looked at Motoyo with a puzzled expression.

"You two have a very good relationship."

"No, my relationship with Riki is the same as yours with him," Nagasaki Sose with a slight wave of her hand and a subtle smile.

"Well, that makes sense."

Shiina Riki, unsuspecting, nodded slightly and continued looking out the window.

Damn it, that was the first time I'd ever held a boy. I wasn't very good at it, but they called it a fighting technique.

Stupid Riki!

After washing her hands in the restroom, Riki returned to her seat and saw a man in a floral shirt standing there, smiling and talking to Nagasaki Sose and Shiina Riki.

"These two seats are empty, may we sit down?"

"If you don't mind, please sit with us. We know the area very well."

It looks like they've been standing there harassing us for quite some time.

Nagasaki Sose clasped her hands together and smiled, saying, "Oh, is that so? But I'm not very interested in geography. Why don't you sit somewhere else? I have companions here."

She adopted a forced, defensive smile, but her tone was already quite impatient.

"Don't say that! There's still one more seat here. I'll sit next to the black-haired beauty. He'll definitely be happy to have someone else to play with!"

The man in the floral shirt smiled familiarly and said.

Shiina Riki her tongue in annoyance and said coldly, "I already said you're not welcome. Can you please leave? My friend is coming back."

"Hey cool beauty, don't be so angry. He won't have any objections when he comes back."

The man in the floral shirt chuckled frivolously. The two stunningly beautiful girls in front of him were at most high school students. The one with brown hair was gentle and cute, while the one with black hair was aloof and dashing. Even if they had friends, they were probably high school students as well. They could easily scare away the young boy with a little intimidation.

He was about to say something when his eyes lit up when he saw the two beautiful girls in front of him.

"Riki, you're back?"

The main character is back?

The man in the floral shirt turned around and looked up slightly to see Riki, who was a head taller than him at 1.7 meters.

"What do you need my friend for?" Riki asked.

"Uh..." The man in the floral shirt was sweating a little. Riki didn't look like a high school student, and her muscles were more defined than his. She didn't seem like someone to mess with.

This guy has two beautiful high school girl girlfriends! What kind of light novel protagonist is this?!

"No, it's nothing, I just couldn't find the seat. I'm going back now."

Have a safe journey, and don't get lost next time.

Riki watched him leave almost running away, then sat down and asked, "How long has he been harassing you?"

Nagasaki Sose breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You came back so soon after you left. If he hadn't left soon, I would have called the flight attendant. Thank goodness you came back."

Her hand, under the table, gripped Riki's hand tightly, trembling slightly.

Riki looked at her smiling face and wondered if she was truly scared, but in this situation, Riki couldn't possibly knock her hand away.

Sitting opposite her, Shiina Riki propped her chin on her hand and muttered softly, "Thanks to you."

"?" Riki pretended not to hear.

Shiina Riki's eye twitched, and she said loudly, annoyed, "I said thank you so much!"

"It's nothing. I feel very honored to have saved two beautiful girls," Riki said.

"Beautiful girl... the lamp is even prettier, isn't it?"

Shiina Riki paused for a moment, her face slightly flushed.

That's enough. You're trying to drag everything into the lamp's faults, aren't you?

Riki felt that just as Nagasaki Sose treated him like ice, Shiina Riki must have treated the lamp like ice as well.

You can't feel right if you don't go out for a day, right?

The Shinkansen journey was still long, and as the three of them talked, they gradually leaned back in their chairs and fell asleep.

As they approached their destination, Shiina Riki woke up rubbing her eyes and found the two sleeping opposite her. Nagasaki Sose had somehow rested her head on Riki's shoulder.

"Don't let Riki take advantage of you."

Shiina Riki reached out and gently pulled Nagasaki Sose and Riki away to avoid an awkward situation when they woke up, since Nagasaki Sose had also said that their relationship wasn't that close.

She did do a good deed.

"Consider this a thank you for your help earlier," Shiina Riki muttered softly, looking at the sleeping Riki.

Riki leaned back in his chair, his sleeping profile looking handsome. The dappled sunlight shone on his black hair, as if giving it a glow. Shiina Riki paused for a moment as she looked at him.

He is indeed very handsome.

She suddenly snapped out of her daze and shook her head violently.

What am I thinking?!

"Get up!!" Shiina Riki patted his shoulder forcefully.

"Damn it, who woke me up? I almost jumped on a dragon!" Riki exclaimed angrily.

Seeing Riki's angry expression, Shiina Riki couldn't help but let out a light, melodious laugh.

The hotel on the travel voucher was across the street from the hotel near Haneoka High School. Just thinking about how the hotel across the street was full of vibrant high school girls made Riki feel like she was receiving a national-level treatment.

At the hotel entrance, Riki saw Chihaya Anon and Takamatsu Akari.

"You're here too! It's so boring over there. The teacher won't let us talk loudly. How's it going on your end?" Chihaya Anon asked curiously.

"After a fierce battle with the delinquents, we emerged victorious."

Riki gave a thumbs up.

"Bad boy?! Looks like you're alright. You should talk to me about it later, okay? I'm going to put your luggage in the room with you guys, and then we can go play together!"

Riki also went into her hotel, but unexpectedly there was only one room.

"This is a family travel voucher. There's only one room available, I'm very sorry, but the room is quite large, I think it should be enough for the three of you."

Is this a question of whether or not there's enough room to live?

Look, Rikki is almost red-hot!

"No, absolutely not!" Shiina Riki frantically waved her hands. She had never even considered sharing a room with a boy. She quickly pointed at Riki, her face flushed, and said, "Why don't you just sleep in the hallway?!"

Riki was startled.

Rikki, why are you doing this to me?

"Sir, that's going a bit too far," the proprietress said, frowning. "How can you say such things to my brother?"

"Huh, brother?"

Shiina Riki was taken aback, noticing their black hair and the two-year age difference, plus the fact that one was a handsome boy and the other a beautiful girl, they could indeed be mistaken for siblings.

But they're not siblings!

"I'm sorry, my sister was rude." Riki apologized to the landlady, "One room is enough, please give us the key."

"Wait, I haven't agreed yet!" Shiina Riki quickly said.

"Rikki! Even if I'm your brother, I'll still get angry if you continue to act like a spoiled child in public!" Riki frowned and scolded.

Shiina Riki's eye twitched. Suppressing her anger, she walked into the hotel room with Riki. The room was indeed very spacious; it could easily accommodate five people, let alone three. But that wasn't the problem.

"Can you explain this?" Shiina Riki's eyebrows twitched as she crossed her arms and looked at Riki.

Anger is burning!
