Sose-Want to See My Legs? (Thanks for the Ultimate Happy Golden Treasure Chest)
Your awkward laugh must be making you sweat buckets, Xiao Su... Riki looked over, but after being glared at by Nagasaki Sose, she nonchalantly looked away.
"Su-Shi, this is a very beautiful stone, just like a star." Takamatsu Akari took out a rounded stone from her pocket and held it in her hands, saying to Nagasaki Sose.
Wow, what a unique stone!
I really like this one; it's second only to a straight tree branch Holy Sword.
Riki whispered to Nagasaki Sose, "Can you sell me this?"
I'll pay five yuan.
Because it's a precious lamp, I'll increase the price to ten yuan.
"Don't even think about it. I'm going to put it on my desk, but you can come to my bedroom to admire it," Nagasaki Sose said calmly.
That's not a good idea, a man and a woman alone together.
Of course, the main purpose was to look at the stones.
Shiina Riki took out a sheet of music and said, "This is a piece I composed. Although it's not as good as Riki's, you can play it when you're feeling agitated, and it might even be helpful when you're sick."
Looking at the three gifts on the table, Nagasaki Sose's eyes welled up with tears. She took a deep breath, held them back, and smiled at the three of them, saying, "Thank you everyone. I will cherish these gifts!"
"Su Shi has done a lot for us, so it's okay," Takamatsu Akari said, shaking his head.
Chihaya Anon wanted to say something too, but suddenly her face froze when she saw the time on her phone. "Oh no, it's almost nine o'clock! Akari-chan, we should go back, the teacher is going to start taking attendance! If we're not called on later, we won't be allowed to leave the hotel tomorrow! Everyone, let's go back now, see you tomorrow!"
Chihaya Anon grabbed Takamatsu Akari's wrist and ran away quickly.
"I wish I were in Haneoka too," Shiina Riki muttered after a moment of surprise.
What a loser's statement.
"Speaking of which, our inn has a hot spring. It's still a bit chilly in April, so we can go soak together later," Nagasaki Sose said with a smile.
Count me in.
"Take me with you," Riki said.
Wait, no, I blurted out my true feelings.
"Of course not, and hot springs aren't mixed-gender baths," Shiina Riki said irritably.
I thought I could experience some traditional Japanese culture, but the local girls were not hospitable at all. Thumbs down.
But I'll come again next time!
Unlike Haneoka's school trip, Riki's group didn't have the rule of returning to the hotel by 9 o'clock, so they had complete control over their time afterward.
"I'm planning to go to the hot springs first, what about you guys?" Shiina Riki asked.
"I want to go outside for a stroll and sightseeing," Riki said.
"I just sobered up, and soaking in the hot spring might make me a little dizzy. Let's go for a walk outside instead," Nagasaki Sose suggested after thinking for a moment.
Riki wanted to quickly become a special forces tourist, so he borrowed a bicycle from the landlady. It was a very stylish pink women's bicycle with a vegetable basket.
Riki felt her phone vibrate as she held the handlebars. She picked it up and saw it was a message from Chihaya Anon.
Chihaya Anon: [Could you secretly bring us some snacks? We're telling ghost stories behind the teacher's back.]
Riki: [Young lady, you sent the wrong message. This number hasn't been in use for ten years.]
There was no message from them for a while, and it was quite a while before I received an angry message.
Chihaya Anon: [Potato chips, cola! And don't say scary things like that again!!!!!]
That really scared me.
I haven't even started exerting my full strength yet.
Japanese girls are so timid.
Riki sat on the car seat and stepped on the foot pedal. Nagasaki Sose sat sideways in the back seat and put her arm around his waist.
"Let's drive," Nagasaki Sose.
"Miss, be careful, I'm driving very fast, there's a slight push-back feeling," Riki warned.
The bike reached speeds of up to ten kilometers per hour. It's no wonder Riki didn't want to go faster; the limit of a bicycle is simply that.
You can see the sea from Nagoya. Riki rode his bicycle with Nagasaki Sose on the back along the beach. The sea breeze blew and made Nagasaki Sose's long brown hair sway slightly. She brushed her hair behind her ear, put her arm around Riki's waist and leaned against him.
"The sound of the waves is so loud," Nagasaki Sose chuckled.
"Someone must be up to something with the giant pineapple in the deep sea," Riki guessed.
"SpongeBob SquarePants and all that stuff are fake!"
"You're only a high school student and you already have no dreams?"
"This has nothing to do with SpongeBob SquarePants."
Nagasaki Sose gently rested her face against Riki's back, and the sea breeze gradually relieved the headache she had been experiencing due to being drunk.
"I just received gifts from everyone in the band, and I'm so happy," Nagasaki Sose said softly. "And thank you for being so understanding."
She wasn't as perfect as everyone thought; she was selfish and incompetent, yet Riki still chose to stay by her side after knowing all this.
"Now you know how much Riki has done you a favor, right?"
Nagasaki Sose asked Riki slyly, "Speaking of which, did I really not say anything strange when I was drunk just now?"
She definitely said it.
With Riki right in front of her, she couldn't possibly remain silent.
I like you.
Riki said, "Murakami Haruki said that you must become a composed adult, not allowed to be emotional, not allowed to secretly miss someone, and not allowed to look back."
"But I'm a high school student," Nagasaki Sose.
"..."
Wow, what you said makes a lot of sense.
Riki choked. She was still a minor; this guy was simply impeccable.
"By the way, everyone gave me a gift, didn't you?" Nagasaki Sose.
"Do you usually ask for gifts?" Riki muttered. "I didn't prepare a gift because I didn't know what to give, and you don't seem to need anything."
"That's true, because I'm rich," Nagasaki Sose sighed.
Let's stop talking, shall we?
You broke my heart.
Riki stopped her bicycle, turned to look at Nagasaki Sose, and said, "So my gift is a wish; I'll grant you anything I can do."
Nagasaki Sose was taken aback. "Anything?"
"... Sorry, it's best not to make it too difficult."
"Didn't you just say 'as long as you can do it'?!" Nagasaki Sose exclaimed in disbelief.
"Because it sounds cool to say it that way, that's how they say it in anime."
"Unbelievable, you huge idiot!" Nagasaki Sose glared at Riki, "I was initially tempted, but you've just made me angry again."
"What do you wish for?" Riki asked.
Nagasaki Sose gazed at the moon floating on the shimmering sea, remaining silent for a long time. Then she turned to Riki and said, "Any wish is fine, right? So don't move yet."
Under the orange-yellow glow of the streetlights, Nagasaki Sose stood on the ground, reached out and grabbed Riki's cheek, then tiptoed and kissed him on the face.
"This is my wish," Nagasaki Sose said to Riki, her face flushed.
"It's so hot at the beach, let's hurry back to the hotel, didn't we say we were going to buy snacks!"
Nagasaki Sose stood on the metal bar in the back seat, her hands on Riki's shoulders, Riki Yi from saying a word, otherwise she would be too embarrassed to speak.
The sea breeze did nothing to cool down my burning face.
"Okay, Su Shi... I'm going to speed up!" Riki pedaled hard on the bicycle.
Nagasaki Sose let out a light laugh, her brown hair swaying in the sea breeze.
"Um?"
A figure in the distance suddenly stopped and looked at the two people riding bicycles.
"What's wrong, Hailing? We can go back now. I didn't expect that Higashiyama guy had an upset stomach and can't play at all. It's a pity we came to Nagoya specifically to participate in the competition."
Hachiman Mairin, carrying a bass bag, looked at Riki on the bicycle.
"No, I've found someone even more capable."
"Ah?"
Nagasaki Sose went to return the borrowed bicycle.
Riki went to the back of the hotel across the street, where several beautiful girls were visible through open windows. Chihaya Anon cupped her hands together and whispered, "We can throw them up now."
Riki threw them up one by one.
"Thank you, handsome guy on the pool, I like you!" a girl from the same class said playfully.
Japanese girls are really something else.
"Where's the light?" Riki asked.
"She's already gone to sleep; it wouldn't be good if she scared the light," Chihaya Anon said with a smile.
If the light gets scared, then Rikki will go berserk.
Riki waved goodbye to them and walked back to the hotel. She didn't see Nagasaki Sose, guessing that her bicycle hadn't returned yet. She went up the wooden stairs to the second floor and opened her room door. Suddenly, she noticed a little water stain on the floor.
Water droplets?
Riki was puzzled when she suddenly heard the sound of a door opening beside her.
Shiina Riki's hair was wet and dripping with water droplets. Her fair and slender body was only wrapped in a towel. Her pair of long, beautiful legs, from her fair and pink feet to most of her round and firm thighs, were displayed without any cover. Her usually sharp eyes now looked completely bewildered.
"When... did you get back?" Shiina Riki asked blankly.
She glanced down at the towel on her body, her face instantly burning red. She picked up a pillow from the floor and threw it at them.
"Get out of here now! How long are you going to keep watching?!"
Watching Riki leave the room, Shiina Riki couldn't help but cover her face.
"How come I only took a short shower and had to come back right away? What bad luck!"
Her face was burning red.

Chapter 95 Su Shi: Want to see legs? (Thanks to the Ultimate Joyful Golden Treasure Chest)
"What's wrong?"
Nagasaki Sose heard the noise and hurriedly came upstairs. She was stunned to see Riki and Shiina Riki wrapped in a bath towel in the room.
"I didn't look at anything."
Riki covered her eyes with her hands and shuffled backward, tripping over the threshold and falling to the ground. Looking up, she saw a navy blue skirt with two white lines drawn on the hem, a pair of long legs wearing black ankle socks, and Nagasaki Sose's forced smile.
"Mr. Riki, what are you doing here?" Nagasaki Sose asked with a smile.
She actually called him "sir"!
Riki softened her voice and confessed, "It was a misunderstanding. I saw those long legs as soon as I walked in. I meant I saw something I shouldn't have seen. I'll go downstairs and wait for you guys to finish showering!"
Seeing Riki running downstairs in a slightly flustered manner, Nagasaki Sose felt a little better.
