My girlfriend is Saiki Kusunoki

Nanzi, who possesses the ability to read minds, has come to know through her recent interactions with everyone that these people are kind-hearted and good people.

Compared to now, Nanzi is already very satisfied with her current life.

"Speaking of tomorrow, Naoto, have you thought about where to go to see the flowers?"

Just then, Nanko asked Naoto a question again.

Although Nanzi has never gone to see the flowers herself, she has heard that every time she goes to see the flowers, the scene is absolutely packed with people.

As we all know, tourist attractions are always busiest during holidays and festivals, no matter which country you're in.

Not to mention places like flower viewing, the level of hype is even more exaggerated than when Apple releases a new phone.

"It should... be okay, right? I've already set my alarm for six o'clock tomorrow. I should be able to get there by then, right?"

Although Naoto said that, he wasn't entirely sure himself.

He had no experience with the current situation of flower viewing in Japan, and when he asked the club members, none of them had any idea either. What was he supposed to do?

"Are you sure this is a good idea? If things aren't handled properly tomorrow, it could be very difficult to deal with."

"I understand, I understand. I'll set my alarm for five o'clock, okay?"

For some reason, even though the flower viewing event hasn't started yet, Naoto already feels tired.

This feeling is even more tiring than drawing comics all day.

However, what Naoto didn't know at the time was that his flower-viewing activity was far more complicated than he had imagined.

Naoto greatly underestimated the determination of those people who were so eager to enjoy the flowers in Japan.

When Naoto got up at five o'clock the next day and rushed to the flower viewing spot, he was dumbfounded by what he saw.

"What the hell is that?"

When Naoto arrived at the park where he had planned to view the flowers, he was stunned by what he saw.

Starting at 5 a.m. and arriving at the destination at 7 a.m., Naoto's speed was quite fast.

To ensure a smooth flower viewing experience, Naoto specifically chose a quiet park, thinking that there shouldn't be many people there on a weekend at seven o'clock. Naoto had walked over with high hopes.

I was startled by what I saw.

The once quiet park was now filled with tents, with more than half of the space occupied.

At seven o'clock in the morning, you could already see people washing up inside their tents.

When exactly did this group of people start queuing up?

People have always thought that the things in anime where people reserve seats the night before or even several days in advance are just an exaggerated technique used by anime.

But now it seems that this was not an exaggeration at all, and even much less exaggerated.

"It can't be that bad, can it? This park is so big, there can't possibly be no space left, can there?"

Seeing the group of menacing, fierce-looking guys, Naoto began to look around, trying to see if there was any unclaimed space nearby.

However, what happened next shows that the straight man was overthinking things. Trying to find a spot in a place like that was simply a pipe dream.

We walked towards the area without tents.

Naoto also noticed that in some places there were several people who looked like elderly scavengers squatting down, with a sign placed in front of them.

It clearly states: "First-class flower viewing spot, 5,000 yuan per visit."

Although Naoto didn't know what a so-called first-class flower viewing spot was, five thousand yen was really not much to him.

But I always felt that if I paid, I would be a sucker.

Naoto looked around and found traces left by others everywhere.

"Shoes, notebooks, no way? Newspapers too?"

Seeing this chaotic scene, Naoto could only be speechless.

"No wonder everyone always says that works of art need logic, but reality doesn't. It turns out that there are actually people who make a business out of this?"

At this point, even Naoto couldn't say whether anime reflected reality or influenced reality, leading to this outcome.

"Huh? Naoto, you're here too."

Just then, Sakuta arrived outside the park with a bunch of things.

Seeing Naoto's completely flustered state, one could probably guess that things wouldn't go smoothly for him this time.

"Uh, Sakuta, the situation is a bit special, currently..."

"Alright, alright, I get it. I didn't expect you to find the location in the first place."

Sakuta figured it out, since it was completely ridiculous for Naoto, who had never participated in the flower viewing, to come and reserve a spot.

Instead of hoping that Naoto can secure a spot, we should hope that he can get into the top 100 in the grade next time.

"What should we do then? We can't just go somewhere else, can we?"

"There's no need for that. After all, I even saved a spot when I passed by yesterday."

"Really? That's wonderful. It has to be you."

Hearing that Sakuta had such foresight, I quickly reserved a spot.

This is truly unexpected for straight people.

No wonder he's one of the few people in the club who has participated in flower viewing.

However, after following Sakuta to their seats, the two of them were dumbfounded.

Because this place was already packed with people.

"Sakuta, tell me honestly, what did you use to reserve your spot yesterday?"

"Uh... you found a stone with a name on it? I've seen old men reserve spots like that before."

"You son of a bitch, they've been living here all this time! And you're copying this from them?"

"Then what should I do? I can't just leave my books there."

The two looked at the large group of people and finally gave up.

Looking back now, it's clear that none of us had much experience before.

These kinds of things really do need to be done by professionals.

As the two searched for a spot, the park began to fill up with more and more people.

Just like tourist attractions during domestic holidays, it's packed with people, a sea of ​​heads.

If this weren't happening in Japan, Naoto would think he'd already run back to Japan.

"Oh no, everyone's almost here. Where are we going to find a place to sit? There probably aren't any spots left in other parks either."

At this moment, Naoto thought, why not just go to those people and buy the spots directly?

It turned out that the spots occupied by those people had already been bought by someone else.

Even those tents have long been dismantled, and the place has been transformed into spaces for people to enjoy the flowers.

This is going to be a bit tricky.

"Oh no, Naoto, what are we going to do now? I see everyone in the group has already started setting off."

Sakuta then asked Naoto, "If we don't find a solution at this point, we can't let everyone have made a wasted trip, right?"

It's often said that every time you go to see the flowers in Japan, it's like going to war, and now it seems that's no exaggeration at all.

Just as Naoto was getting anxious, Nanko's telepathic connection suddenly entered Naoto's mind.

"Sakuta, I think I know a place where I can enjoy the flowers."

"What?"

Sakuta stared at Naoto with a strange look, only to see Naoto walk straight out of the park as if he already had a target in mind.

"Hey! Where are you going?!"

Seeing Naoto suddenly walk away, Sakuta couldn't understand what Naoto wanted to do, but he had no choice but to follow him.

Naoto kept turning left and right, weaving through the city, completely confusing Sakuta.

Some places don't even look like places for people to walk on.

How did Naoto find out about this ghost road?

Just as Sakuta was thinking that Naoto might have been deceived, he suddenly discovered a particularly beautiful cherry blossom tree standing alone in the grass after turning a corner.

There wasn't a single cherry blossom tree around, but there was one here.

There wasn't even anyone around.

This place seems to have been specially prepared for them.

"Wait, where...where is this? Why is there a cherry blossom tree here?"

After seeing the tree, Sakuta, still somewhat skeptical, touched the cherry blossom tree.

The falling cherry blossom petals confirmed to him that this thing was indeed real.

"You've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you for so long."

Just then, Nanzi emerged from behind the cherry blossom tree. She then revealed that she had even laid out a picnic blanket and various foods on the ground.

"This, this, this..."

"Alright, Sakuta, don't be so surprised. Kusuko has found a great place, so let's wait for her here."

Seeing Sakuta's wide grin, Naoto simply smiled gently.

Although he was also quite surprised by the scene.

"I really didn't expect you to be able to find such a location."
