Girl idols are meant to be exploited!

Even if you want to develop a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, it still requires a long period of contact.

However, what Hoshikawa Taku had never expected was that after hearing his clarification, Ijichi Hoshige seemed to have thought of something, grabbed her arm, blushed a little, and looked out the window with embarrassment.

"...Really? Can you really accept a girl my age?"

When she said this, her voice was soft and trembling, as if she was really expecting something.

Hoshikawa Taku was stunned for a moment. How could Ichichi Hoshige say such a thing?

What does she mean by this?

Is it a joke or a confession?

Just as Hoshikawa Taku was about to answer, Ijichi Seika suddenly realized what she was saying and suddenly came to her senses.

Wait a minute, what are you talking about!

Could he be taking this as a confession?!

No, this sentence seems to be a confession, but why would I confess to him?

Ijichi Hoshika has some feelings for Hoshikawa Taku, but that feeling has not yet turned into romantic feelings, so her words were actually a bit thoughtless.

Ijichi Hoshika is usually quite calm and mature, but the cultural festival taking place on the high school campus made her think back to the past, feeling sad, and she said this sentence on impulse.

Yidizhi Xingge was very flustered and her mind couldn't calm down for a while.

She saw the haunted house in front of her, her eyes lit up, and she quickly changed the subject before Xingchuan Taku could speak: "By the way, Xingchuan, do you want to go to the haunted house together!?"

Hoshikawa Taku realized that Ichichi Hoshige was avoiding him and didn't want to hear his answer, whether it was a yes or a no.

He said very politely: "...Well, let's go to the haunted house."

At this moment, the two adults chose to put the previous conversation on hold, as if they had never discussed those topics before.

This is the tacit understanding between adults.

Chapter 130: Who says a crudely made haunted house can’t scare people?

Like Ijichi Hoshige and Hoshikawa Taku, they were somewhat disapproving of the activity classrooms designed by these high school students. They felt that the rooms they designed were at most the kind of crude horror movie sets that could not excite them at all.

And when she walked into the entrance of the haunted house, what she saw matched her impression.

The door was covered with tattered black cloth and fake paper spider webs, and the orange light flickered in the corridor, creating an atmosphere that was both eerie and a bit cheap.

To be honest, this deliberately created sense of tension is not as real as the naturally accelerated heartbeat when walking late at night.

However, since you are here, you should at least experience it.

After paying for the tickets, the student inspecting the tickets reminded Hoshikawa Taku and Ijichi Hoshika:

"Are you two together? Be careful once you get in there. Don't run, don't touch the walls. Those ghosts only scare people, they don't chase them. Don't hit the staff..."

Before entering, Xingchuan Taku kindly said: "If you are afraid, I can go ahead."

"Need not."

Ichichi Xingge said confidently, "I'm an adult, how could I be scared by these little props?"

At her strong request, she took the lead, lifted the black cloth and walked into the haunted house.

But the next second after she lifted the curtain, a refrigerant above her head suddenly started up, and the cold air blew across her neck, instantly making her nerves tense.

"ah!"

A subconscious exclamation followed, and she instinctively shrank her neck, a hint of surprise passing across her face.

When she hurriedly turned around, she saw Hoshikawa Taku's half-smile. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes seemed to say everything.

Feeling the teasing gaze, Yidizhi Xingge suddenly felt embarrassed. She snorted coldly, tried hard to suppress the embarrassment in her heart, and strode forward.

The haunted house was converted from a classroom. All the windows were covered with thick black cloth, leaving only a few dim lights to provide some light inside.

The space here is not big, and the interior layout is more like a maze. The walls are made of pieces of wood and cardboard, as if they are in danger of collapsing at any time.

This is exactly why the receptionist reminded us “don’t touch the walls” - after all, if you push them, you might destroy this makeshift maze.

If you really want to carve out a straight path, a random punch might be enough.

Of course, this is just a thought. The mazes were created by the students with great effort, and damaging them will not benefit anyone.

Taku Hoshikawa walked behind Ijichi Hoshige, while she strode ahead to explore the way.

Walking along the winding corridor, there are some crudely made skeleton models scattered in the corners, as if ready to scare passers-by at any time.

Occasionally, low background sounds could be heard in the corridor, creating a gloomy atmosphere that seemed both real and fake.

However, this was not stimulating to Ichichi Xingge. She just took a casual look and walked away.

Not long after, she met another female ghost who was dressed in an extremely exaggerated manner. She was wearing a tattered white dress, with exaggerated bloodstains painted on her face. She was screaming shrilly and shouting as she walked. It was a complete replica of a standard horror movie scene.

Yidizhi Xingge glanced at them coldly, unmoved at all. The female ghost realized that she couldn't scare anyone, and she felt embarrassed and quickly retreated.

Afterwards, several more students dressed as various monsters appeared, trying to scare people in different ways, but none of them shook her at all.

She gradually let down her guard, thinking that these were just decorations.

Just as she relaxed her guard and was about to move forward, a bone-cold hand suddenly reached out from the darkness and tightly grabbed her ankle.

She looked down and saw a girl dressed as a zombie slowly crawling out of the shadows - the girl's face was covered with fake blood, her eyes were empty and weird, and she had a miserable smile on her face.

All the previous "monsters" had come head-on, but who had ever expected such a sudden attack from below.

Ijichi Xingge was caught off guard and screamed, subconsciously taking a step back. As a result, she lost her balance and fell into Hoshikawa Taku's arms.

"Xingge, are you okay?"

Hoshikawa Taku naturally held her in his arms and held her firmly.

This collision instantly disrupted the rhythm of Ichichi Xingge's song.

She felt Hoshikawa Taku's steady breathing and his heartbeat, and she was stunned, her cheeks quickly flushed with embarrassment.

Fortunately, the room was dim and the blush on her face was not obvious. She took a few deep breaths and tried to calm down quickly.

However, at this moment, the NPCs' snickers and exclamations were heard all around. They seemed to be "eating melons", ruthlessly magnifying Ichichi Xingge's embarrassment and panic.

She hurriedly broke free from Xingchuan Taku's arms, walked forward quickly with a red face, and gently stroked her chest as she walked, trying to calm her pounding heart.

Although she tried to explain to herself that she was just scared, she couldn't help feeling a little panic and shy inside.

After all, as a single woman in her late twenties, she had never had the embarrassing experience of being so close to a man.

On the rest of the journey, Yidizhi Xingge walked very fast and ignored all the ghosts she encountered.

Because her heart was filled with tension at the moment, the scary traps that had been set up long ago could not attract her attention at all.

Seeing this, Hoshikawa Taku was not in a hurry to catch up with her, but kept a proper distance from her, moving slowly at his original pace, giving her time to calm down.

When Taku Hoshikawa walked out of the haunted house, Ijichi Hoshige was waiting for him at the door.

She seemed to have calmed down and returned to her usual calm and composed self.

At least that's what it seems.

"Sorry, I lost my composure just now. I didn't expect that zombie to be hiding there."

Ichichi Hoshige muttered an apology, a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, this is understandable."

Hoshikawa Taku smiled and didn't care, and even analyzed to her why she was scared.

In the past, the "monsters" always hid at the corner in front and jumped out to scare people. Ijichi Xingge had some inertia in thinking about this and felt that there would be no more "JumpScare" except for the corners.

But the person who designed this haunted house obviously did the opposite on purpose and left a small corner in the middle of a corridor for the zombie girl to hide in. She also reached out from below and grabbed Ichichi Xingge's ankle.

This move is a "first sight kill". If you are not very resistant to horror movies, you will probably fall for it. It is also expected that Ijichi Xingge would be scared.

"Then why aren't you scared?"

Ichichi Xingge asked somewhat unconvinced.

Hoshikawa Taku shrugged and said jokingly, "Because you were standing in front of me and stepped on all the traps. Otherwise, I might have been scared."

Looking at the smile on Hoshikawa Taku's face, Ijichi Xingge suddenly felt a little dissatisfied and felt that he deserved a beating.

By chance, her eyes caught sight of a nearby room that was set up as a shooting range, and she suddenly felt an urge to vent.

"Xingchuan, I want to go target practice next."

Without waiting for Hoshikawa Taku's response, she turned around and stepped into the room without hesitation.

Hoshikawa Taku smiled and followed.

This room is like an airsoft booth in the park, with a cabinet filled with various plush toys.

Just use an air gun to knock the toy down and you can get it.

At 100 yen per bullet, Ijichi Xingge bought ten bullets without hesitation. She held her breath, aimed at a doll and shot.

However, after several consecutive shots, the bullets always grazed the doll, just missing it by a hair's breadth.

On one occasion, the bullet did hit the doll, but the force was so weak that the doll only shook slightly and did not fall over at all.

Taku Hoshikawa took a special look. This was a stall set up by students. There was no trick like a baffle at the back. Ijichi Hoshige was just a simple "vegetable".

After firing ten bullets, she originally came here to vent her anger, but unexpectedly she became furious instead. She didn't believe in evil and bought ten more bullets.

She still missed the target with the next round. The air was filled with the mechanical "click" sound of her continuous pulling of the trigger, accompanied by her disappointed sigh.

The value of the toy was not high to begin with, so it was not worth buying bullets for it. However, Ichichi Xingge sighed and bought ten more bullets.

She didn't believe she couldn't beat him today.

Seeing that she was getting too excited, Xingchuan Taku stopped watching and advised: "Xingge, do you have a toy that you particularly like? Do you have to take it down? If you don't like it that much, there's no need to keep trying."

"I want to hit that."

The Ijichi Star singer pointed to a pink toy placed in the corner - a uniquely shaped Nozuchi snake.

She half-jokingly said, "That one looks a lot like Pochi. I want to give it to her when we meet later."

Chapter 131: Taku Hoshikawa’s “straight ball” invitation.

Hoshikawa Taku glanced sideways at the pink Nozuchi snake doll on the stall.

Well, it does look like the gloomy look of Pochi when he was suffering from social anxiety and stayed in the corner. This gift is indeed worth getting.

However, Ijichi Hoshika's shooting skills were terrible, and Hoshikawa Taku felt that she wouldn't be able to hit the target even if she ran out of bullets, so he suggested: "In that case, how about letting me try? Maybe someone else will have better luck."

Ijichi Xingge thought about it and handed the air gun to Hoshikawa Taku.

She was already quite angry, and the main reason for not stopping at this moment was that she had invested too much "sunk cost", and she was unwilling to return empty-handed.

Since Taku Hoshikawa wanted to try, she was also curious about his skills and whether he could defeat him.

Taku Hoshikawa has never been a soldier. His military training in his previous life was just a formality, and he has never received professional shooting training.

However, he has played with the balloon-inflating stalls that are common at temple fairs many times.

Moreover, he has been taking a special item called "body enhancement potion" in recent days, and feels that his physical fitness has been significantly improved, with considerable progress in physical fitness, speed and accuracy.

When he squinted his eyes and aimed intently, he felt his vision become sharper.

After two shots, both just grazed the edge of the toy, but this was actually the positioning that Taku Hoshikawa used to familiarize himself with the air gun.

Just when Ijichi Seika thought that Hoshikawa Takuya could not turn the situation around, he adjusted his breathing and pulled the trigger again without hesitation.

After a crisp gunshot, the air gun bullet hit the target accurately - the pink wild hammer snake fell down.

"Give."

Hoshikawa Taku handed the Notsuchi snake that the stall owner had handed over to Ichichi Seika and said with a smile, "Okay, now we have a gift for Pochi."

Ijichi Xingge took the toy, looked down at it, and suddenly felt a little reluctant to part with it.

After all, this was the toy that Taku Hoshikawa had bought for her, and it would be a bit of a waste to give it to Pochi.

But... the words have been spoken, I can't just keep them to myself, right?

Just as she was struggling, several more gunshots were heard.

Hoshikawa Taku handed over another panda doll.
