Yukinoshita's Correction Method

So Yukino Yukinoshita bought him croquettes, fried chicken nuggets and ginger beef buns, and fed him along the way.

As I walked, I heard the sound of Sasa in my ears.

It was the sound of the wind blowing through the lush bamboo forest and the bamboo leaves rubbing against each other.

There are countless bamboos here, standing high together to form long tunnels, filtering the sunlight into a gentle, swaying spot of light that shines on the stone road.

Walking along the winding stone road, the bamboo poles on both sides are as straight as a forest, either as fresh green as jade, or as calm as ink.

The deeper you go, the light and shadow become more blurred, and the occasional bird song is clear and crisp, but it makes the place even more quiet.

"By the way, at night, lanterns will be lit here." Yui Yuigahama remembered the introduction in the travel magazine, "It will be even more beautiful then, and it will definitely be a suitable place to confess!"

"It's appropriate," Komachi Hikigaya sighed, "But whether it's successful or not is another matter."

"It's not just a confession," Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Dong Yunshan, "It's also qualified as a place for an exorcism ceremony, right?"

"Indeed." Dong Yunshan looked around and nodded with satisfaction, "The next step depends on Tobe's choice."

"Ah~~It's over, it's over." Tobe Kakeru shook his legs in the room, "I'm starting to get nervous."

Yamato patted his back hard. "Don't worry."

Saika Totsuka couldn't help but clenched his hands when he saw Tobe Kakeru's appearance. "Even I'm starting to get nervous..."

"Tobe..." Hayama Hayato, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, "Do you want to think about it again?"

"Ah? What are you considering?" Tobe Kakeru didn't know why.

"Think about it..." Dong Yunshan opened the door and walked in, "Which should I do first, or confess first?"

Chapter 567852 The ceremony begins

"Ah?" Tobe Kakeru was confused, "Brother Shan, what did you say?"

"A kind reminder." Dong Yunshan pulled the chair and sat down. "After accepting your request, I naturally want to help you express my love. Now that I find that the situation has changed, I should naturally remind you."

"I understand this, but what I don't understand is..." Tobe Kakeru stared at Dong Yunshan with an anxious expression, "You just said... exorcism?"

Dong Yunshan nodded. "Is there any problem?"

"What a big problem!" Tobe Kakeru scratched his hair hard, "Is this the style of our school trip? Why did it suddenly turn into a ghost story? Now we have to exorcise demons? What is going on?"

"The situation is that someone needs to exorcise the devil now." Dong Yunshan looked at Tobe Kakeru, "So do you want to adjust your confession plan?"

"Wait a minute." Saika Totsuka reacted, "Yunshan, is the person who needs an exorcism...Hina Ebina?"

Tobe Kakeru's eyes widened in shock. "What happened to her?"

"Didn't you notice something unusual about her?" Dong Yunshan reminded, "Since Mount Inari came down, something has been wrong with her - you noticed it too, right Hayato Hayama?"

"Ah... um." Hayama Hayato's gloomy expression was obvious, "I just wanted to remind Tobe about this, but..."

"Don't scare me." Tobe Kakeru scratched his head anxiously, "Why is something wrong with her?"

"Yumiko said that Hina Ebina has been acting weird in the afternoon." Hayama Hayato further explained, "Subconsciously avoiding looking at people, always looking distracted, not interested in the surroundings, as if they are very familiar... Although I can't say what is wrong specifically, it just feels like a different person."

"A different person? That being said, I do have similar feelings... Wait!" Tobe Kakeru remembered what happened before and his eyes widened in disbelief, "Do you mean she was possessed by a fox?"

"Really or not..." Ooka and Yamato looked at each other, "Is this really possible?"

"Yunshan..." Saika Totsuka tugged on Dong Yunshan's sleeve, "Did a supernatural event really happen?"

"The current situation is that a person encountered something and discovered some temporarily unexplainable phenomena, and then he seemed to have changed into a different person." Dong Yunshan put his fingers together and tapped his temples, "No matter whether a supernatural event really happened or not, most people's first reaction is a supernatural event, right?"

Saika Totsuka shrank his shoulders uneasily. "That's true."

"Then, I eliminated the impact of the incident in a certain way and restored people to their original appearance." Dong Yunshan snapped his fingers and pointed at Saika Totsuka, "Then what I did should be called..."

Saika Totsuka murmured, "Exorcism."

"Yes, although I prefer the term [disenchantment], [exorcism] is indeed easier to understand and widely accepted." Dong Yunshan flicked his finger and pointed at Tobe Kakeru, "Back to the original question, should your confession be before the exorcism or after the exorcism?"

"Ah? Ah... If it's done before the exorcism, is the person I'm confessing to really the one I want to confess to? But if it's done after the exorcism, if the exorcism fails... I don't know what will happen. If it succeeds, will I still have time..." Tobe Kakeru's eyes have started to spin in circles, "No, why has it become so complicated? I'm completely confused..."

"To put it simply, as a member of Service Club, my task is to help you confess." Dong Yunshan simply summarized, "Now there are some obvious situations that may affect your confession. The exorcism ritual can eliminate this influence, but there will also be new influences - so what is your choice?"

"Of course I choose to do the exorcism..." Tobe Kakeru reacted mid-sentence, "Is it really an exorcism?"

"That's natural." Dong Yunshan stood up, "Let's go, the girls should be ready too."

On the bamboo forest path, Yumiko Miura and Yui Yuigahama sandwiched Hina Ebina on the left and right, walking forward nervously.

"What are you..." Hina Ebina looked left and right in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Yumiko Miura's eyes were full of worry, and he held Hina Ebina's arm, as if he was afraid that she would run away soon. "Don't worry, it will be over soon."

"Yeah." Yui Yuigahama echoed, "I will accompany you."

"Everything is weird..." Hina Ebina suddenly stopped, "By the way, do you want to take pictures later? My digital camera is still in the room."

"I brought it out for you." Yumiko Miura opened the backpack he carried, "It's right here."

Hina Ebina earned. "I still have some things to do..."

"Hina Ebina~" Yui Yuigahama hurriedly hugged her arm a little tighter.

Hina Ebina frowned, and there was an unusual touch of indifference and alienation in his eyes behind the lenses, which made Yui Yuigahama feel horrified.

Ding bell--!

The crisp ringtone interrupted Yui Yuigahama's chaotic thoughts.

Yukino Yukinoshita shook the bell in his hand and sounded a reminder: "This way."

Hina Ebina suddenly became quiet, her frown relaxed, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She followed suit without the control of Yumiko Miura and Yui Yuigahama.

The setting sun has not completely disappeared, and the bamboo forest path is already lit up with a little bit of light.

Every few steps, a white lantern illuminates the pale green bamboo forest, blending with the afterglow of the sunset to form a dreamlike gradient.

Hina Ebina followed in the footsteps of Yukino Yukinoshita and soon saw Komachi Hikigaya and Saki Kawasaki who had been waiting for a long time.

And Dong Yunshan who came with a few boys.

"Everyone is here, let's officially start." Dong Yunshan took the digital camera handed by Yumiko Miura and adjusted the settings. "People appeared in different places at the same time, people who were desperate, people who couldn't get what they wanted, people who couldn't give up... This is the first time I have held such an exorcism ceremony."

Hina Ebina looked calmly. "I thought you would change into priest's clothes..."

"Time is limited, I'm too lazy to prepare." Dong Yunshan raised the digital camera and pointed it at Hina Ebina, "I remember that you were in the restaurant with us at 12 o'clock today, right?"

Hina Ebina smiled slightly, "Yes."

Click!

"No." Dong Yunshan pressed the shutter, "You are here."

Chapter 568 Take it seriously

Dong Yunshan shows the photos taken.

In the photo, Hina Ebina is standing on the bamboo forest path with a faint smile on his face.

The time shown in the photo is exactly 12 noon today.

"Huh? This time..." Tobe Kakeru reacted, "Did you just change the camera's system time?"

"As long as you change the time setting, you can change the time displayed in the photo." Dong Yunshan flipped the photo on the digital camera to the one at the highest peak of Mount Inari, which showed Hina Ebina and another person in a navy blue kimono who happened to be in the photo. "So the time we saw before at Tofukuji Temple was not consistent with the time shown on the photo."

"So this person did not appear at Mount Inari and Tofukuji Temple at the same time, but at other times, left this photo at the first peak of Mount Inari..." Hayama Hayato discovered a new problem, "But when was this picture taken? Except for the two hours of climbing the mountain, Hina Ebina was with everyone the whole day. Deducting the one hour she spent on climbing the first peak, the remaining hour was not enough for this person to reach Tofukuji Temple."

"If we take it today, of course it won't be enough." Dong Yunshan flips the photos from the digital camera to the viewing platform Four Crossroads, where you can see the maple leaves Kyoto combined with the cityscape, "But if we take it a week in advance, it will be easy."

"The color changing speed of red leaves is very dependent on weather conditions. Low temperature, especially sunny weather with a large temperature difference between day and night, will cause the red leaves to turn red faster. On the contrary, if the weather continues to be warm, the discoloration process may be delayed and slowed down. Therefore, professional meteorological agencies will issue the latest red leaf forecast and update various regions The condition of the red leaves." Yukino Yukinoshita showed the photos found on his mobile phone, "I was a little strange when I first saw the photos. The scenery and the status of the maple leaves you took Four Crossroads are very similar to the red leaf information sharing I saw a week ago."

In other words, as long as you have the habit of watching red leaf forecasts, you will be able to find problems with the photos taken by Hina Ebina.

By searching online for photos shared by tourists and comparing them, you can discover the differences in the status of the red leaves, and then deduce the accurate shooting time.

"We originally made an appointment last week, but you said something happened at the last minute..." Yumiko Miura suddenly realized, "So you came Kyoto in advance?"

That's why I don't have much interest in the surrounding scenery. After all, I just saw it not long ago.

"... That was indeed a temporary decision." Hina Ebina sighed softly, feeling relieved, "I didn't expect it to be discovered so easily."

"Little Yukino has reminded me to check the red leaf forecast before~" Yui Yuigahama hugged Yukino Yukinoshita and suddenly realized something was wrong, "Huh? But why did you come here a week in advance? It's obviously a school trip soon."

Hina Ebina looked at Dong Yunshan: "Did you say it or did I say it?"

"Oh!" Komachi Hikigaya's eyes lit up, "It's an alibi!"

Yumiko Miura frowned. "What alibi?"

"These climbing photos were taken by Hina Ebina here a week ago." Komachi Hikigaya clapped his hands, "In this way, as long as she finds any reason to climb the mountain, and then shows other people the climbing photos she took in advance, everyone will think that she climbed the mountain for two hours, but in fact..."

Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Hina Ebina with a somewhat complicated look in his eyes. "You didn't go hiking. During those two hours at noon, you were somewhere else."

"Huh?" Yumiko Miura clicked his tongue, "Just say this kind of thing. Is it necessary to go to so much trouble?"

"Actually, it's really necessary." Dong Yunshan put down Hina Ebina's digital camera, "Because if she said she wanted to be alone for a period of time, others would definitely care and ask... but she didn't want others to know."

"I don't want others to know..." Yui Yuigahama suddenly thought of something, "Could it be...?"

"A very good friend." Hina Ebina said, "I specially made an appointment on this day for free activities."

"There's nothing to hide, right?" Yumiko Miura snorted, "Since we've made an appointment in advance, let's just play with each other. There's no need to rush back..."

Dong Yunshan put his fingers together and tapped his temples. "What if we meet and we can't play together?"

Yumiko Miura tugged at the end of his hair. "Hina Ebina said they are very good friends, how could it be possible..."

"It's still possible, Yumiko." Hayama Hayato showed a helpless smile, "Once you say something, if you don't get a specific response, you won't be able to get along like before."

Saika Totsuka finally understood. "Is this... a confession?"

"That's right~" Hina Ebina showed a transparent and emotionless smile, "When I found out that the other party asked me to meet on the last day of the school trip, I knew I understood."

"So..." Tobe Kakeru laughed dryly, "You came to Kyoto a week in advance and took a series of photos of mountain climbing."

Hina Ebina nodded. "Well, I wore a uniform specially."

Tobe Kakeru lowered his head. "Then today, I will show the photo to everyone to create the illusion that I have just climbed a mountain."

"Well, I just didn't expect you to see that person." Hina Ebina tilted his head in confusion, "Maybe it was because I was noticed by that person when I was taking pictures at Mount Inari alone in uniform, so that person was curious about you guys wearing the same uniform."

"It's a coincidence that we bumped into each other after a week. Maybe that person wanted to see Tofukuji Temple's red leaves before, but was not satisfied with what he saw last week, so he stopped by Mount Inari. This week, when the red leaves were in season, he came again to Tofukuji Temple..." Tobe Kakeru scratched his head and laughed twice, "Then... you went to meet your good friends at noon."

Hina Ebina: "Yeah."

Tobe Kakeru: "Then... rejected."

Hina Ebina: "Yeah."

"You've done so much..." Tobe Kakeru twitched his lips, "Do you just want to reject the other party without being known by others?"

"Although it is indeed a bit troublesome, I feel it is worth it." Hina Ebina smiled, "This intention deserves to be treated well, even if it means rejection."

Tobe Kakeru fiddled with the messy hair on the back of his neck uneasily. "Did you never think of agreeing from the beginning?"

Hina Ebina: "Yeah."

Chapter 569 The exorcism is over

Hina Ebina maintained the smile on his face and added softly, "Because I don't want to date anyone now, so after knowing that someone wanted to confess to me, I started thinking about ways to refuse..."

The last thing that came to mind was this way.

Saki Kawasaki watched the whole process and couldn't help but admire Hina Ebina's good intentions.

It all started with the Confession Plan.

Hina Ebina I know a good friend and plan to confess my love to her during a school trip.

She doesn't want to date anyone, so she refuses.

Rejection is easy, but if you want to minimize the impact of rejection, you need to make more preparations.

If there are people watching the confession, the impact of rejection will be huge.

Therefore, it is best for Hina Ebina to act alone until the confession is over.

But with Yumiko Miura's character, Yumiko Miura would never let Hina Ebina act alone without a suitable reason.

Therefore, in order not to affect everyone's school trip and to minimize the impact of refusing to confess, Hina Ebina needs to go on a normal school trip with everyone, and then reasonably leave the team and act alone for a period of time to refuse the confession.

For this reason, Hina Ebina came to the location of the school trip a week in advance and took photos of Mount Inari.

But after breaking up with Yumiko Miura, Hina Ebina, who did not go up the mountain, arrived alone at the place he had made an appointment with his friend as agreed, and rejected the other party's confession.
