Chapter 146: School Trip! (Second Update)

On October 24th, it was sunny and the autumn wind was not very strong.

After getting up early and finishing my morning run, I bought breakfast at a breakfast shop that I had only been to three times.

When I walked out of the breakfast shop, I stood at the door and took a deep breath of the morning air.

The autumn air is slightly cool, and it feels particularly refreshing and comfortable when inhaled into the lungs.

In winter, the temperature is too cold and is not as good as in autumn.

I stood at the door and looked at the swaying cherry trees for a while before walking towards my apartment.

The buns at this breakfast shop aren't particularly good, but the rest of the dishes are pretty good...

After returning to the apartment, I packed up quickly and it was already 8:40.

Aokisuke took the train to Shuhua High School.

Kyoto is a representative city of Japan's historical relics, an important city in the Osaka economic circle, and the ancient city of Heian-kyo.

The above are not too important for most high school students.

Tokyo residents who have never been to Kyoto probably only have a few impressions of Kyoto:

The famous Kiyomizu-dera Temple, the vast torii gates, and Uji's matcha.

Of course, for Aokisuke, the above three items need to be reduced by two more. What he cares more about is the matcha chocolate from Uji, Kyoto...

At 9:30 in the morning, the second-grade class F, led by Shizuka Hiratsuka, boarded the school-rented bus, drove out of the school gate, and headed for Kyoto.

The bus headed west, bumping along the way.

It took more than six hours to drive across most cities due to the distance.

After sitting on the bus and occasionally seeing small temples closely connected to each other, we arrived in Kyoto.

"Don't run around after you get off the bus. Line up first and count the number of people."

"After counting the number of people, I will arrange a room for you at the entrance of the hotel."

"The boys are on the third floor, the girls are on the fourth floor, and the first and second floors are the rooms for students from other schools. Don't get it wrong..."

Amid Shizuka Hiratsuka's nagging, the bus finally arrived at its destination.

The journey lasted more than six hours. It wasn't too early, and the students were carrying luggage, so they got off directly in front of the hotel.

Aokisuke didn't bring much luggage, and after compressing it, it only needed a slightly larger backpack to fit it.

Carrying my backpack, I got off the bus behind my classmates.

Coincidentally, a bus from another school that departed at about the same time as Xiuhua High School also arrived at the hotel.

Get off the bus at the same time as the students from Xiuhua High School.

Facts have once again proved that Murphy's Law is indeed true -

After getting off the bus, he subconsciously looked at another bus. Seeing the slightly familiar uniforms of the students from another school, Aoki Jie was slightly stunned.

Then, a blue-haired girl and a yellow-haired girl appeared in sight.

He was stunned for a moment, then reacted instantly.

Sometimes, things just happen to happen like this -

The school that chose the same school trip destination as Class F of the second year of Shuka High School is Shimokitazawa High School.

And as luck would have it...

Among the second-year classes at Shimokitazawa High School, the class that Niji and Ryo were in voted for Kyoto...

When Aokisuke's eyes fell on the two of them, it might be his sixth sense, or maybe some other reason, anyway - on the other side, Hongxia also noticed Aokisuke a moment later.

Turning around, he saw Aoki Jie, rubbed his eyes uncertainly, then gently patted Liang beside him and asked as if to confirm.

Then, after confirming with Liang that she was not mistaken, Hongxia blinked.

Ignoring the teacher leading the group, she danced and waved, then greeted them from a distance.

"Aoki-senpai—what a coincidence!"

"..."

Aoki Jie, who was still hesitating whether to go up and say hello, remained silent.

When classmates heard someone calling Aoki, they looked in the direction of the voice.

"Hey Aoki, that girl is calling you, right?" Hikigaya beside him spoke belatedly, asking in confusion.

"Ah...yeah." Aokisuke nodded, and at the same time noticed that the students around him had begun to turn their attention to him.

Ah—trouble is about to arise within the first hour of arriving in Kyoto.

Aoki Jie was silent, feeling deeply moved, and then the next moment—

"Ah! Aoki-kun, that girl is the drummer of your band, right? The guy next to her is the bassist of your band, right?"

"That girl! Aoki-san! The bassist lady! The bassist lady who pulled you away!"

"Aoki-kun! During free time later, could you take a photo with them? Please!"

"I want one too! Can I have an autograph?"

Hongxia, who caused this result, smiled a little embarrassedly after seeing Aokisuke surrounded by his classmates.

But it was obvious that Aokisuke was surrounded at this time, and the two of them could no longer communicate...

Becoming a celebrity comes at a price, and Aoki has experienced this deeply.

Now surrounded by classmates, Aoki Jie, who had finally had some free time in recent days, once again recalled his situation a few days ago.

Fortunately, Shizuka Hiratsuka is here today.

Although easy to talk to, Mr. Hiratsuka, who had a bad temper, shouted in a loud voice,

"All of you, be quiet—didn't I just tell you? Line up and take a headcount first!"

The students in Class F of the second grade have obviously experienced the terror of Shizuka Hiratsuka.

So, after Mr. Hiratsuka shouted, almost the next moment, the students who had just been surrounding Aokisuke suddenly fell silent and immediately lined up obediently at the back of the line.

He cast a look of slight gratitude towards Shizuka Hiratsuka, ignored the students who had just spoken to him, and decisively stood behind Hikigaya.

Shizuka Hiratsuka scolded a few more times and then began to count the number of people.

Aokijie took this opportunity to look at Hongxia and Liang on the other side again.

Meanwhile, Hong Xia, who had been keeping an eye on Aoki Suke's situation, noticed that Aoki-senpai was looking at her again.

Without hesitation, she clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and lowered her head with great force.

This gesture roughly means "Aoki-senpai! I'm, I'm very sorry!"

Aoki Jie didn't mean to blame her. He shook his head to indicate that it was okay.

Liang, who was beside Hongxia, waved at him silently again.

Probably as a greeting, Aokisuke also responded by waving his hand slightly.

After a while, Shizuka Hiratsuka counted the number of people and began to arrange the rooms.

Without further communicating with Hongxia and Liang, Aokisuke withdrew his gaze and listened to Hiratsuka Shizuka speak.

"312, Konozu, Yamaguchi Koji, come and get the room card."

"313, Hikigaya Hachiman and Tamura Kento, come and get the room card."

"314......"

Until No. 319.

I don't know if it was a coincidence, or if Hiratsuka Shizuka did it on purpose, but as luck would have it, Aoki Suke was the only boy left—

"319... Aoki, you're the only one left now. So, you can stay in a room by yourself. Is that okay with you?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka spoke.

Aoki Jie didn't care about it. One person or two people had no effect on him.

He nodded in agreement, walked to Shizuka Hiratsuka and took the room card.

Chapter 147: Information about music career received during school trip

After the room arrangement is completed and all room cards are handed over to the students.

Shizuka Hiratsuka clapped her hands again for silence and began to arrange for the students to return to their rooms to unload their luggage.

The rest of the classmates went upstairs together, but since Aoki Jie had a room to himself, he went up to the third floor with his luggage alone.

I swiped the room card, entered the room, and started packing my luggage.

After Aokisuke laid out all the things he needed, he picked up the phone next to him and took a look. No one had sent him a private message, but there were many new messages in the chat group of the band.

[Hongxia: What a coincidence—I ran into Aoki-senpai during the school trip!]

【Hongxia: Secretly photographing Aokisuke.jpg】

[Ms. Liang from the Cat Party: From this angle, Suki-san looks like she's in a daze.]

【Kita Kita: I guess he's just daydreaming, right?】

[Kita Kita: No, that's not the point! Hong Xia-senpai, is this such a coincidence?! With a 10% probability, we actually happened to meet!]

[Kita Kita: I'm so envious of being able to hang out together... (Teacup Dog Crying.jpg)]

【KitaKita: Speaking of which, where is the destination for the school trip?】

[Pochi-chan: I think it was Kyoto...]

[Ms. Liang from the Cat School: It’s Kyoto.]

Kita briefly brought the topic to the school trip, but Yamada soon turned the conversation back to Aokisuke.

[Ms. Liang from Cat Party: Speaking of which, did you know that if you shout Suki-san's name or nickname outside, you'll attract a bunch of people looking at you, asking for autographs, photos, and all sorts of weird questions...]

This message was sent just a second ago. Aokisuke's eyebrows twitched when he saw Yamada Ryo's speech.

After a moment of silence, he decisively sent a message, changing the subject.

Our trip destination is Kyoto. What souvenirs would Kita and Pochi-chan like? Uji's matcha is great.

There was a moment of silence in the group.

Perhaps because the last incident was still fresh in people’s minds, after a few seconds of silence in the group, Miss Liang decisively withdrew the message she had sent.

Then, Pochi-chan sent a new message,

Pochi-chan: No thanks, Aoki-senpai, it's too much trouble...

He declined Aoki's offer to bring local specialties.

But Kita didn't refuse.

Kita Kita: Hmm? Is that okay? Then I'll go to Kiyomizu-dera Temple. Please ask me to get a Kiyomizu-dera amulet. The Jishujinja Shrine at Kiyomizu-dera Temple is said to be very effective!

Jishujinja Shrine at Kiyomizu-dera Temple...

Aokisuke looked at the message sent by Kita and pondered for a second.

He didn't really know much about Kiyomizu-dera Temple, but he did know some of the little things about it.

For example...Jishushi Shrine at Kiyomizu-dera Temple is said to be the only shrine in Japan that is hailed as a shrine for finding love and seeking good fortune...

It must be fake. Aokisuke has always been skeptical about things like gods.

Without thinking too much, I replied with a "hmm".

We chatted for a while, and then halfway through, a phone call suddenly came in.

There are very few people that Aokisuke can contact, especially if they call during this time period. Generally speaking, there is an 80% chance that the call is a scam.

But this time it was exactly within 20 percent.

The incoming call contact showed that it was director Tomosuke Niijima, with whom I had worked before.
