Horikita Manabu Before he could decide whether to open it on the spot, several friends behind him exchanged glances.
It seems that if they continue to stay here, it will only make the person involved more embarrassed.
Asano coughed dryly and spoke first, "Ahem...Horikita, why don't we go back to the private room first, and you can take your time to clean up."
"Yes, yes, the dishes are almost cold, let's go in first."
Several friends turned around in perfect agreement, preparing to pretend that they had not seen anything tonight.
"Please wait a moment."
Horikita Manabu called them in a deep voice.
Several people turned around in surprise and saw that Horikita Manabu had put the package firmly and looked at the delivery person sternly. "Do you have any scissors?"
Letting his friends go now, even if what he unpacks is really an ordinary specialty, if he explains it later, it will inevitably be regarded as a cover-up after the fact.
Rather than go back and listen to them say "Brothers, we all understand", it is better to open the box in person now!
It's time to start betting!
I bet Kitagawa Kai still knows how to measure and didn't really send him anything outrageous.
If you don't bet, aren't you just betting that you will lose?
The staff member took out the scissors from the tool bag and handed them over.
Horikita Manabu Cut a slit along the outer tape and lift up the wrapping paper on the chest.
There is also a thick layer of cushioning material underneath.
He opened the stuffing and revealed a gift box with a tea leaf pattern printed on it.
[Shizuoka Famous Tea]
The companions nearby also saw the words clearly, and immediately came over curiously. "Eh? It turns out to be tea!"
As the packaging continued to be unpacked, the neatly stuffed gift box was gradually revealed.
Hot Spring Bun, Wasabi Rice Crackers and Sakura Shrimp Senbei are all serious specialties with exquisite packaging!
The two arms that looked particularly suspicious were nothing more than long snack boxes with stuffing material and tied together.
Horikita Manabu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Not bad.
Just ordinary souvenirs.
Kitagawa Kai Although this guy is a bit evil, he still has some sense of proportion.
"I'm just telling you! We must be overthinking it!"
A friend smiled and stepped forward to help hold the outer packaging.
Asano took out an exquisite small box from the paper bag exposed on the side. "But this gift is really rich. Hey, there is actually a cup here."
Horikita Manabu The shoulders that Matsushita had just arrived at were tense again.
What cup?
Are those tea leaves and snacks just a cover-up, and the real problem is still hidden behind?
"Show me."
He reached out and took the box, opened it and took a look.
An ordinary ceramic Mug, with the travel logo of Izu printed on the cup body, and a small spoon.
Horikita Manabu held the lid of the box and said nothing for a while.
"What's wrong, Horikita?"
"... Nothing, it turns out to be a cup. I thought it was a cup."
He put the cup back and covered it again.
Several friends finally couldn't help laughing.
"President Kitagawa, you really know how to give gifts."
"The gift is quite normal, and the packaging does have some thought."
"No wonder the delivery person just asked you if you wanted to deliver it to your dormitory, hahahaha!"
Horikita Manabu looked at the wrapping paper that had been torn apart.
The "Confidential Shipping" label is still affixed to it.
He expressionlessly took out Terminal, found the number Kitagawa Kai, and dialed it.
The phone rang twice and the call was connected.
In the Moon Court Villa, Kitagawa Kai put Terminal to his ear and spoke with a smile.
"Brother-in-Law, Christmas Eve are happy! Did you receive the gift?"
"Received."
Horikita Manabu looked at the pile of human-shaped packages at his feet and almost gritted his teeth and asked, "Kitagawa, do you want to explain to me first what this package means?"
"What happened to the packaging?"
Kitagawa Kai asked very innocently, as if he really didn't understand what he meant.
"Senior, are the things inside crushed? I asked the store clerk to put some more cushioning material on it."
"It's not broken. What I'm asking is, why did you put the package in that shape?"
"Shipping confidentially."
Kitagawa Kai Be confident and confident.
"Suzune said it would be too ostentatious to send too many things back, so I thought of packing them more tightly. Looking from the outside, who would have guessed that the items inside are tea and snacks?"
Horikita Manabu looked at the unpacked package at his feet, and his forehead jumped twice more.
Indeed.
Not to mention relying on intuition, no one could guess that this thing contained serious tea and snacks even if they used their imagination fully!
As for what outrageous things they thought of just now...
He doesn't want to remember even for a second now.
"Kitagawa, do you call this unassuming?"
"Did the delivery staff not pack it as I requested? Impossible."
Kitagawa Kai moved Terminal away a little and turned to the girl next to him for confirmation.
"Suzune, did you also see it when it was packed in the afternoon? Was it wrapped very tightly?"
Horikita Suzune nodded and saw him hand Terminal over, so he took it.
"Brother, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with the gift?"
Hearing his sister's voice, Horikita Manabu stopped asking questions and forced out a smile, "There is nothing wrong with the gift, but the packaging is a bit strange. I just called to ask."
"Yes, I also asked Kai-kun at that time."
"How did he answer?"
"He said it would be more suspenseful and there would be surprises after opening it."
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
Surprise?
I just opened the package in front of my friends, and I almost stopped breathing. It was indeed a surprise.
"Brother?"
Horikita Suzune called again without waiting for an answer.
"Nothing's wrong. Did you have fun over there at Izu?"
"Well, I'm quite happy."
"Well, that's good. Then give the phone back to Kitagawa."
Horikita Suzune handed Terminal back, Kitagawa Kai took it to his ear and asked with a smile, "Brother-in-Law, do you have any other instructions?"
"You'd better do it for the last time!" Horikita Manabu was a little serious.
"Yes, I won't dare to do it next time. If nothing happens, Brother-in-Law, that's it?"
"Hmm."
After hanging up the phone, Kitagawa Kai put away Terminal, and the girls were preparing to go back to the room to wash up.
After walking around all day and having hot pot for dinner, I smelled very strong. I wanted to take a shower and change into comfortable clothes.
Kitagawa Kai was about to go back to the room when his sleeve was suddenly pulled by someone.
Hoshinomiya Chie dragged him to the side, and while the others were discussing the washing arrangements, he leaned into his ear and whispered in his ear, "Little Kitagawa, do you want to wash with me?"
The young man turned his head and looked at her. "Chie, is this okay? Isn't it a bit too direct?"
"What are you thinking about? You are just taking a simple bath, and I would like Little Kitagawa to help you rub... your shoulders."
"So you were waiting for me here."
Kitagawa Kai smiled and said, "Okay then."
Hoshinomiya Chie did not pull him upstairs immediately, but let go first and looked around like a little detective.
"Little Kitagawa, you go up first, I will come to you later."
Just as the boy was about to take a step forward, she pulled Kitagawa Kai back again.
"No, let's go together and follow closely."
While the others were still chatting, she led the boy around to the stairs, even deliberately walking more slowly.
Kitagawa Kai followed for a few steps and finally couldn't help but ask, "Chie, why are you doing this? Isn't it better to walk together in an open and fair manner?"
"What do you know, this is what makes it interesting."
