What's Wrong with the World
Chapter 15
Even though Iulio had said that there would be enough clothes for everyone, they were still shocked when they returned to the hall.
Yumi immediately booked a luxurious room at the Ho Hotel. She bashfully smacked her own head and said, "Oh, I accidentally went a little overboard."
Enrique looked at the room full of kimonos, wigs, and accessories and rubbed his forehead. "Forget it, as long as you're happy."
"But we're not happy!!!!
! "
Unfortunately, the teenagers' silent cries could not be conveyed. Or rather, even if they did, what was the use?
Shrugging ~
Yumi Aya stretched her joints. "Boys, let's get started. This is not a small project."
Radical 145 stammered, "Mom, can't we just wear any outfit for this kind of thing?!" Radical 145 received four looks of reverence.
Then, he saw a strange light flash in his mother's eyes. Her figure was constantly elongated, and her voice seemed to come from the netherworld. "Little Zei, what did you say?
Do you have a problem?
Huh? "
"No, nothing, no problem at all!" Five voices sounded in unison.
At this point, Xing Cun had completely given up on struggling. Unlike the others, who were still a little embarrassed and annoyed, he simply allowed them to raise their hands and legs. Occasionally, he would even give some suggestions. "As for me, because my hair is a little long, compared to a wig, wouldn't a wig be more suitable?"
He was still in the mood to look around. When he saw Iulio still holding the camera and running around the room, he couldn't help but ask, "Yuri Sauce, don't you need to try on clothes?"
Iulio checked the stock in the camera with satisfaction and replied, "No, we already chose our clothes last night." After saying that, she grinned at Yukimura.
…
After being tormented for a long time, the boys' clothes were finally decided. Yaumi and the others looked at their work with satisfaction. Then, they pulled the dumbfounded Ah Gang and Natsume into the changing curtain and said, "Then, the rest is simple. You guys wait outside obediently. Don't ~ peek ~ at ~ us ~!"
Radical 145, Yukimura, and Sanada sat upright, listening to Ah Gang and Natsume's frightened voices. They refused to imagine what was going on inside.
After a moment of silence, Radical 145 glanced at Yukimura. The dark-blue-haired boy had an androgynous beauty for his age. At this time, he was wearing a lavender jacket decorated with iris flowers, and a princess hairstyle was tied up behind his head with a small wooden comb. Sensing Radical 145's gaze, he turned around and smiled gently at him. "Radical 145 -kun?"
Radical 145 seemed to see the holy light behind him indiscriminately. He snorted and said, "You're enjoying it, aren't you?"
Yukimura heard this and smiled even more brightly. "Well, if you agree to a bet, you have to accept defeat.
Since the result is inevitable, then let's enjoy the process. After all, it's the 'one and only' experience of a lifetime. "
He didn't know if it was intentional or not, but the word "one and only" sounded particularly clear.
"Also, Radical 145 -kun's outfit today is very kawaii," Yukimura added with a smile.
That's right, it was "kawaii". Radical 145's grayish-purple wig was directly combed into a slanted ponytail, tied with a goose-yellow hairband in a cute bow. The dangling hairband gently swayed by his ears as he moved.
His elegant and beautiful ash-gray jacket was tied around his waist with a bow of the same color as his hairband. Coupled with his unhappy expression, he really looked like a standard tsundere loli.
"No, how can I compare to you."
"No, no, you're still the prettiest."
"…"
Sanada looked at the smokeless battlefield with a blank expression. She was silent. She had experienced so much at such a young age and finally understood what it meant to protect oneself.
"If only you guys could put down your phones when you're praising each other."
"…"
"Kacha, kacha."
"Who do you think is more suitable for a girl's outfit?
Hey, Sanada? "Two voices sounded at the same time.
The flames of war had finally spread over.
Sanada subconsciously wanted to adjust her baseball cap, but she only touched a head of long black hair. She uncomfortably retracted her hand and silently picked up the teacup on the tea table.
"Father, I think I understand why you like to drink tea so much."
"…"
Yukimura, who did not get a response, looked at Sanada and touched her chin. "Speaking of which, Sanada's outfit this time is also very good!"
"Kacha."
Radical 145 looked at the neat bangs, long black hair, black jacket sleeves, and red bow. It blurred Sanada's initial "hardcore" temperament, which had already been revealed, and made her look very mysterious. He nodded. "Indeed, it's quite gorgeous."
"Kacha."
Just as Sanada was thinking about whether to "cut off their relationship" for two minutes, the curtain was pulled open with a whoosh.
The three of them looked over curiously, and their eyes widened in unison.
Three adults stood in the middle, wearing black patterned hairs, with shiny slicked-back hair.
Yuri and Xiao Lan were wearing hunting clothes, white shirts with purple undergarments, black hats, and bat fans. They were standing on either side of Nainai and Enrique.
Ah Gang and Natsume were standing on either side of them. They were both wearing witch outfits with white undergarments and red undergarments. Their hair was tied in a ponytail with a red hairband, and they were holding the Bells of God in their hands.
Nainai spread her arms and looked left and right. "It's indeed very imposing."
Enrique raised his glasses. "It's not bad to try it out once in a while."
Yumi Aya excitedly held her face. "It's not just not bad, it's the best Christmas present!"
"Speaking of which," Xing Cun rested his chin on his hand and thought for a while, "Yuri, you said that if you lost the bet, you would wear men's clothes. It seems that you planned to do so from the beginning."
"That's right." Iulio said without a trace of guilt.
She looked at her clothes with satisfaction. Especially when she stood next to Ah Gang, she didn't feel out of place at all.
"Also, you just said that your clothes were ordered last night.
So, if we don't count Xiamu who joined at the last minute, Ah Gang's clothes must have been decided long ago. "
The three adults' eyes began to wander.
"Then, why did Ah Gang change into a pile of clothes with us?
Or rather, did we really just choose our clothes today? "
"…!!!"
Iulio stepped forward and put his hands on Yukimura's shoulders. He looked her in the eyes. "Shiko, do you know why Xiaoming's grandfather can live to 100 years old?"
"…"
Yukimura sighed helplessly. "Forget it, the ceremony is about to start. Let's go."
△△△
Iulio looked at the crowd and couldn't help but sigh. "The Hakone Shrine is really popular."
"Yeah, it's because it's almost New Year. Everyone wants to change their luck." Nainai replied with a smile.
Urio and his party were strolling and eating along the way. At first, they did not notice how many people were attracted by such a "good-looking" team. But as more and more people approached, many people started whispering to each other, thinking that they were in a low voice.
"They're really super kawaii. Are they a family?"
"Is that little girl in purple really a mortal?"
"Eh?
I thought you'd like that tsundere one. "
"What, it's clearly Miko who's cuter, okay?"
"If you don't want it, I'll take the little Onmyoji home …"
Iulio's veins popped. "Do you think you're browsing the forum?!
Even 'upstairs' popped up!
"
There were also some discordant voices. "She must be a child from a rich family. She's wearing expensive clothes."
"She even brought bodyguards?
It's just a ceremony. Isn't that too arrogant … "
"Did she deliberately dress like this to attract people's attention?"
"She's just a child. Maybe she'll grow up crooked in the future …"
"Damn it."
Hearing this, Yurio's blood vessels felt like they were about to explode. The others' moods were inevitably affected as well. Ah Gang immediately hid behind Nainai.
He glared at the people who were emitting malice from his pores. "Gah gah gah, it's so annoying. You guys are so noisy."
"Wow ~ She's so cute when she's angry."
"I feel like she's not to be trifled with."
"We didn't say anything. Children nowadays are too uneducated …"
Radical 145 grabbed Yuri who was about to go berserk and looked around. Because the Sedan Festival was about to start, more and more people were coming. He frowned. "Don't start a fight here."
Yumi Aya was also a little worried. "Let's find a place with fewer people to watch the fireworks."
Enrique disagreed. "The places nearby that are suitable for watching must be occupied. No matter what, safety is more important. If there's no other way, let's go back first."
Although it was a pity that they didn't get to watch the end, they still decided to go back first.
On the way back, Iulio turned her head and whispered, "I'm sorry."
"What?" Radical 145, who was walking next to her, didn't hear clearly.
"I said, I'm sorry."
"If it weren't for my mischief, maybe everyone would still be having fun now …" Yurio said loudly as if he had nothing to lose. "But …" Yurio said loudly.
"Pfft."
Iulio glared at them fiercely. Who would dare to laugh at a time like this?
"You guys … Mom, why are you guys …"
"Sorry, sorry. It's because this is the first time I've seen Yuri Sauce voluntarily lower his head." Nainai said with a smile. "But this time, it's not Yuri's fault at all.
Yuri's suggestion may have been a prank at first, but this is the result that everyone agrees with.
Moreover, the ones who are in the wrong are the adults who don't know any better. Yuri didn't hurt anyone, so there's no need to apologize. "
"But, no one …"
"Yuri Sauce."
Iulio felt her hand being gently held. Probably because it was his first time holding a girl's hand and calling her name, Natsume's face was slightly hot. "Yuri Sauce, you probably don't know, but this is the happiest day of my life."
"After meeting everyone for the first time in the forest, everything that happened after that was like a dream."
"Whether it was wearing women's clothes or being teased by friends, it was a very novel experience for me."
"Surrounded by friends and purely enjoying the festival, I even felt that I was too greedy in my dreams."
"And this little setback only made me feel more clearly that all of this was real and not just another dream."
"This is a gift from the gods."
"So, Yuri Sauce, please don't apologize."
As soon as she finished speaking, the surroundings fell silent. Natsume was a little embarrassed and wanted to withdraw his hand, worried that he had crossed the line. After all, they had only known each other for less than a day.
The next moment, Iulio grabbed his hand and pulled him back forcefully. Iulio's entire body clung to Natsume.
"How can you!
As my little brother, what kind of life did you live in the past?! "
"My heart hurts so much. Oh my god, my conscience is about to grow out!"
Then, Nainai knocked his head. Nainai wiped the corners of her eyes. "Yuri, you can't be so rude. You have to call him Brother Natsume!"
"Huh?!!!"
The others who had been moved were also taken aback.
Yurio let go of Natsume's claws and rudely put them on Natsume's cheeks and pulled him left and right. "You want to be the boss when you're only a few months older than me?
You're too naive. "
Natsume struggled to survive. "No, no, it's not like that. I'm, I'm three years older than Yuri Sauce."
Enrique added, "Yeah, when we first found out that Natsume was already in third grade, we were also shocked."
Natsume rubbed his warm face and said a little shyly, "I'll be taller in the future."
Yukimura looked at her phone and said, "If we hurry back now, we might be able to see the fireworks show. I remember that the restaurant's terrace is facing the shrine, but the view isn't very good."
Well, this was a pretty good ending.
Suddenly, Natsume thought of something and shouted, "I remember now! I know where else to go. We'll definitely be able to see it clearly there."
"Really???"
