Chapter 422: He Wants to Hook Up with My ATM!
"Eek—!"
As soon as Koji saw Tachibana Mei, he acted like a mouse seeing a cat, immediately dodging behind his sister. He only poked out his small head, looking at the other party cautiously.
"Officer Tachibana."
Ryohei put on a stern face, looking down at Tachibana Mei who wanted to act affectionate with Jashin-chan, and scolded her severely:
"Shooting casually on the street, you're being too reckless! What if you accidentally injure a bystander?"
"...M-My marksmanship is actually quite accurate."
Tachibana Mei was startled. She looked up at Ryohei—seeing his stern face, she inexplicably felt guilty and responded with a lack of confidence.
"Is this a question of accuracy? And are you really accurate?"
Ryohei pointed at Jashin-chan and raised his voice: "See for yourself, Jashin-chan was accidentally injured by you!"
"Yeah, yeah!"
Jashin-chan nodded with a tragic face, glancing at her tail—
Although the wound was almost healed...
The dark blue police skirt was fully stretched, outlining a round and plump curve, the hem edge pressing a shallow constraint line into the middle of her thighs.
"..." Tachibana Mei looked at Ryohei and opened her mouth, wanting to say it was because the robber suddenly fell that she accidentally injured Orochimaru (Jashin-chan), but Ryohei didn't give her the chance.
"Take this guy on the ground and get lost!"
In the middle of the night, and it being New Year's Eve, Ryohei really didn't want to squabble with this problematic policewoman on the street. He waved his hand and added:
"Go back and write a 2,000-word self-reflection report and hand it to Jashin-chan, otherwise I'll bring people to make trouble for you."
"I am a police officer!" Tachibana Mei muttered softly.
"I would be very happy to help."
Yusa tucked her hands into the wide sleeves of her kimono, revealing only a section of slender white fingers to lightly cover her lips.
Although she was smiling, Tachibana Mei couldn't help shivering—her right hand seemed to feel that piercing cold sensation again!
"This works!"
Hearing that Tachibana Mei was asked to write a reflection report and hand it to her, Jashin-chan's eyes immediately lit up, excitedly expressing her agreement.
"Umm..."
Tachibana Mei's whole face collapsed. Looking at Ryohei, she raised her hand and tested the waters: "2,000 words is too much, can we drop a zero?"
"Do you think this is a vegetable market bargain!"
Ryohei laughed out of anger at her: "Even if it is bargaining, no one drops zeros like you!"
Saying this, he put one hand on his waist and looked at Jashin-chan, asking: "Jashin-chan, are you willing?"
"I am definitely not willing!"
Jashin-chan had already recovered. She stood up, crossed her arms, and made an "X" gesture in front of her chest.
"Wuu—! Orochimaru, you acting like this makes me so sad!"
With tears in the corners of her eyes, Tachibana Mei stood up, opened her arms, and went in for a hug.
"Stay away from me!"
Jashin-chan raised her hand to push her away with a face full of resistance.
"How about this: you come back with me, and I'll reflect face-to-face for you to hear."
"Don't even think about it!"
"..."
In the end, Tachibana Mei still dejectedly handcuffed the robber and dragged her feet away.
Ryohei and the others also returned to Hokkaido through the spatial passage.
It was already close to 1:00 AM at this time.
The group agreed to get up at 6:30 AM to go to Cape Chikyu to watch the sunrise together, and then they each returned to their rooms to sleep.
...
Don't know how much time passed, Ryohei suddenly felt a heaviness on his body.
A somewhat playful older sister voice rang out in the room—
"Ohayou~."
He opened his eyes somewhat groggily.
Almost simultaneously, he heard a click, and the lights in the room turned on.
"Mmm... so blinding..."
Ryohei subconsciously raised his hand to block his eyes, rested for a few seconds, and then moved his arm away.
His vision gradually cleared—
Finding Lucoa straddling him with a smile.
Today she was wearing a purplish-black modified kimono, embellished with light purple butterfly patterns.
The V-shaped collar slipped to her shoulder, revealing a large expanse of fair and lustrous skin. The rounded curves rose and fell slightly with her breathing, and a deep cleavage loomed faintly under the light.
The bright red wide obi cinched a waist that could be grasped by hands, contrasting to make the voluptuous curves on her chest even more breathtaking.
Looking from his angle—it was extremely impactful, making his breathing involuntarily stall.
The kimono hem was a high-slit design. Two voluptuous, fair, long legs were bent casually, resting on his waist.
"How is it? Surprised? Waking you up the manga way~."
The corners of Lucoa's lips curled up slightly, her magnificent heterochromia eyes gazing at Ryohei.
"Mmm..."
Ryohei pondered for a moment and said strangely: "This doesn't seem like your style? Too proper."
"Just what kind of image do I have in your heart?"
Lucoa was startled and couldn't help laughing. She crossed one arm over her chest, rested the other hand on top, her fingertips tapping lightly on her fair and tender cheek, her tone playful:
"Or is it... Ryohei-kun, are you hinting at something?"
"Alright, I'll give you some more fan service!"
Without waiting for Ryohei to answer, she puffed out her chest on her own and put her hands on her waist.
"..."
Ryohei waited quietly, a bit expectant.
After waiting a few seconds, he looked strangely at Lucoa who was just gazing at him with a smile, and wondered: "Where's the fan service? Did you swallow it?"
"Ding—! Currently distributing!"
Lucoa imitated a system.
"Distributing my foot, you're not even moving a bit!"
Ryohei couldn't help raising his hand and lightly slapped Lucoa.
"Me sitting still is the fan service."
Lucoa sighed softly: "Ryohei-kun, your comprehension is lacking!"
"...Holy crap!"
(￣ ￣|| )
Ryohei was speechless for a moment, but he had to admit—
"Fine! What you said makes sense... as expected of you, you fan-service girl!"
"Sister is so cunning!"
Just as Ryohei was preparing to enjoy the fan service, Pekola's voice came out of nowhere from the side.
His movements paused. He turned his head to look at the Goddess of Harvest who suddenly flashed to the bedside, and said with a face full of agreement: "Yeah! So cunning... not giving even a little hint or guidance!"
Pekola glanced at Ryohei, lifted one leg to rest on the edge of the bed, leaned in close, extended her slender white fingers, and pinched his cheek: "You are also very cunning!"
"Ah, right, right, right—!"
Ryohei reached back and felt Pekola's "conscience."
Just at this time, the phone alarm he had set in advance went off.
"Mmm... I should get up!"
...
Fifteen minutes later—
Ryohei finished washing up and asked Lucoa to open a spatial passage to Hanazono Inari Shrine.
First, he brought over Yurine, who had slept for a while, been woken up by the alarm, finished washing up, but wasn't fully awake yet. Then they met up with the others at the ranch and went to Cape Chikyu together.
Cape Chikyu is located at 4-chome, Bokoi Minami-machi, Muroran City, Hokkaido; it is a prominent cape facing the Pacific Ocean.
As the top of the "Top 100 Nature Spots in Hokkaido" and a selected location of the "New Top 100 Tourist Spots in Japan," this has always been the first choice for many people to watch the sunrise.
Before the morning light arrived, the cliffs of Cape Chikyu were already dotted with silhouettes.
The cold sea breeze swept across the observation deck, making the people on it uncontrollably shrink their necks and wrap their coats tighter.
"..." Ryohei, Yurine, and the others found a corner, casting their gazes toward the gradually brightening arc where the sea and sky met in the east.
Normally, the sea level and the horizon are straight, but here you can observe an arched sea level and horizon—this is exactly the most famous landscape feature of Cape Chikyu!
"The sun is about to rise... phew, so cold!"
Yurine hugged herself, rubbed her arms, and turned to look at Ryohei.
"Come, let me warm you up."
With great boyfriend energy, Ryohei unbuttoned his overcoat and wrapped Yurine inside together with him.
"It's warm..."
The lines on Yurine's face instantly softened a bit, carrying a little happiness, as she nestled in his embrace.
"I'm a bit cold too."
At this time, Jashin-chan hugged herself tightly and rubbed her arms.
Ryohei looked over sideways:
( ﹁ ﹁ )
"Who told you not to wear clothes."
"I am a strong person!"
"Strong people do not fear the severe cold!"
"Uh..."
Jashin-chan choked on her words and looked at Ryohei speechlessly.
"Jashin-chan, let me hug you."
Medusa had a smile on her lips, opening her arms to Jashin-chan.
Although she didn't have an overcoat, she could warm Jashin-chan with her body heat.
"No need, this guy is warmer."
Jashin-chan waved her hand, rejecting Medusa.
Turned around and hugged Ilulu beside her, naturally placing her hands on her chest.
"Speaking of which, your chest seems exceptionally warm?"
"Mn? Because this is my flame sac."
Ilulu didn't mind either, answering in a casual tone.
"..." Ryohei glanced at her flame sac, the corner of his mouth twitching.
At the same time—
Medusa maintained her posture with open arms, looking at Jashin-chan and Ilulu stuck together, her whole person frozen in place.
Her hands slowly lowered...
At this moment, she seemed like a defeated dog!
"Feels like Medusa would be cold too, want me to hug you?"
Ryohei's gaze fell on Medusa, speaking jokingly.
"Eh? N-no need!"
Medusa snapped back to reality instantly, a rosy flush flying up her face as she waved her small hands shyly.
"Mn? Ryohei-kun, what did you just say?"
Yurine turned her body slightly, the corners of her lips curling up, looking at Ryohei with a gentle expression.
"He wants to hook up with my ATM!"
Jashin-chan turned her head with an expression of "property being coveted," pointing at Ryohei unhappily.
"I was joking!" Ryohei clarified at light speed.
"Ryohei-kun's survival instinct is so strong~."
Lucoa raised her hand to lightly cover her lips, smilingly fanning the flames.
"Cunning human," Pekola said with a cool voice.
"Was it really just a joke?"
Yusa tilted her head gently, pure curiosity emerging on her face.
"Taking advantage of a vulnerability isn't good."
Minos hugged Medusa from behind and looked at Ryohei.
"Ryohei-kun is good at everything, he's just a bit of a playboy!"
Kyon-Kyon took over the conversation cheerfully.
—It seemed a husky had mixed into the wolf pack.
"What are you doing, what are you doing? Are my words really that untrustworthy?"
"..."
While the few were bickering—
A touch of golden red ignited at the edge of the arc where the sea and sky met. Immediately after, it burst into thousands of wisps, dyeing the low-hanging clouds into a sky full of spreading rosy satin.
The sun slowly rose, leaping out of the sea surface, tinting the originally grayish-blue winter seawater into a warm, moist orange.
As the morning light swept across the over 100-meter-high cliff, someone rang the "Bell of Happiness."
The heavy toll of the bell interwoven with the first ray of sunlight of the New Year, drifting towards the distance along with the sea breeze...
