Chapter 215: Night on the Coastline (Seaside Training - End)
Not far away, the sound of waves gently approached the shore. A bonfire was lit in the middle of the beach, and the sparks were jumping and dancing. Akai Muko sat around the bonfire, staring blankly at the leaping fireworks, her face flickering in the interweaving of light and shadow.

"Teacher Fujii is amazing!"

"Well, be careful not to use too much oil when grilling. If it drips, it will cause an open flame and easily burn the fish. Be careful."

"Okay~~"

After preparing the barbecue grill for the female classmates in the club, Fujii Itsuki came and sat down next to Akai Muko.

He looked at her profile for a moment, then took out a small pendant from his pocket and gently held it in front of her eyes. The transparent glass of the clarinet pendant flickered with a faint flame.

".?"

Akai Muzi looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

She reached out to take it, placed it in her palm, and quickly recognized the small object, and scenes of her high school memories began to emerge one by one.

"You still have it?"

“This is new.”

"What about the previous ones?"

"After you left, I smashed it."

"."

Akai Muzi was silent. She suddenly remembered the original situation, and pinched the pendant in her hand, her voice became much softer:
".Then why buy a new one? If it's over, it's over."

Fujii Itsuki picked up a piece of firewood and threw it into the fire. There was a crackling sound of the wood cracking.

"I'm not sure, but I happened to see this in a glass shop when I was shopping this afternoon. It should also be made in Otaru, and the style is exactly the same. How should I put it, seeing these things reminded me of the time when I gave you the pendant. I remember you liked it very much and kept hanging it on your schoolbag, even though it was just a handicraft made on an assembly line. I thought you would still like it now, so I bought it and gave it back to you."

Listening to him speak, Akai Muzi tilted her head, looked at him for a long time, then lowered her head to look at the glass pendant in her hand:

"Ashu, sometimes I think you are too much."

"Ok?"

"Why should I give it back to you?"

"So, didn't I just say that I thought you would like it now? I broke the previous one, so I bought it."

"But it's clear that what happened in the past wasn't my fault?"

Fujii Itsuki looked at her, even more confused, "I don't think it's a big deal now."

Akai Muzi's eyes softened, and she tightly grasped the pendant in her hand. "Ashu, this pendant should be said to be the same style as this one. It was the first gift you bought for me with your part-time job money. You kept it hidden and gave it to me as a surprise. We hadn't even started dating yet. Do you know what this gift meant to me at the time?"

"."

Fujii Itsuki suddenly understood everything.

No wonder Muzi said he was going too far just now.

In fact, you can understand it by considering Mu Zi’s mental state at that time.

".and you--"

".I accepted it."

"Muzi, you..."

"Why shouldn't I want the gift you gave me? You were the only one willing to give me a gift back then. Of course, you're still the only one willing to give me a gift now."

When Fujii Itsuki saw how Akai Muzi was protecting the pendant, he could only smile to himself.

It seemed that I had done something particularly excessive again.

For Muzi now
"Ashu, I understand more and more why Xinchun and Xiaoyue. When you first came into contact with them, did you also give them gifts like this?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't give it away randomly."

Akai Muzi smiled, "Ashu, it is because you didn't give random gifts that they seem to be so precious. Every gift you give seems to touch a girl's heart. Is this your passive skill?"

Faced with Mu Zi's teasing, Fujii Itsuki could only admit it.

What Muzi said is really good.

The key chain he gave Jiu Huayue before is still hanging on her keys.

As for the music box that Jiuhuayue gave as a New Year gift, Fujii Itsuki would occasionally ask about it, and the child would cover it like a treasure.
"So, Ashu, you are really sinful. You can always give people completely different emotions inadvertently."

"Brother Shu, Brother Shu! Grilled fish, grilled fish!"

Yang Kui Chitose trotted over with two grilled fish skewers sprinkled with cumin and chili in her hands.

"Thank you, Chitose."

Yang Kui Chitose looked at Akai Muzi who was sitting next to Fujii Itsuki, and then looked at the grilled fish in her hand.

"No~ Sister Muzi, take it too."

Akai Muzi took it with a smile, "Why are you willing to give it to me?"

"Who told Sister Muzi to give me the key yesterday? I'm going to repay the favor."

Chitose Yangkui went to the grill and got a skewer of grilled fish, then sat next to Fujii Itsuki, looking at the campfire and started eating with a smile.

The lively atmosphere of barbecue at the seaside is still very strong.

Fujii Itsuki felt it from his classmates and Chitose around him.

Some were setting up tents for the night, some were gathering around the barbecue grill, and some were running to the rocks on the beach to spear fish with freshly cut wooden sticks. Every once in a while you could hear girls screaming over there.

".Ah! That's right."

"what?"

"Brother Shu, I haven't seen Xinchun and Xiaojiuhua talking to each other these days. Are they still arguing?"

".yes."

"Why did Brother Shu suddenly pause when he spoke?" Yang Kui Qiansui wondered.

"It must be the fish that Chitose grilled. It's so delicious."

Fujii Itsuki smiled, while Akai Muzi laughed at him across from him.

Chitose Yang Kui continued the previous topic, "Although whether it is Xinchun, Xiaoyue or Rinka, they are unwilling to say it, but I think we can't keep the cold war, we are four good sisters!"

".What does Chitose want to do?"

"Of course, it's to make their relationship better! They've been quarreling for so long, it's time to slow down for a while, right? Yes, I have to do something too."

Yang Kui Chitose did what she said. After finishing the grilled fish in her hand, she ran to find the two people.

Akai Muzi looked towards where the girl had left, with a sad face, "Ashu, if Chitose finds out, this vacation won't be peaceful."

“Not now.”

"Are you so sure?"

"Xinchun and Xiaoyue won't spread the news that they like me, so they won't tell the reason for their quarrel."

"Where's Rinka? That kid seems to know something about your relationship."

"Rinka... She won't say it either. She hopes that Xinchun and Xiaoyue will reconcile. She knows that it will embarrass everyone if she tells them."

Chatted with Akai Muzi for a while.

Fujii Itsuki then saw Yang Kui Chitose pulling Jiuhuayue and Matsumae Shinchun over.

When Jiuhuayue and Matsumae Xinchun saw each other here, they both chose to avoid each other.

Yang Kui Chitose quickly pulled her back.

"Hey, hey, hey! Didn't you two promise me that you would come over to have a barbecue together?"

"I didn't know Xiaoyue was here." Matsumae Shinchun looked at Jiuhuayue.

"Same." Jiuhuayue also looked at her.

"Oh my! I know you're arguing, but it's been a while, you should calm down now, right?"

Jiuhuayue: “.”

Matsumae Shinharu: “.”

"alright,"

Yang Kui Chitose used a coaxing tone to slowly pull the two people who were looking away closer, and said with a smile, "What is there that cannot be forgiven? Besides, you two were just quarreling, it's all in the past, it's all in the past~"

Jiuhuayue sighed, "I think if it was you, Qiansui, you would be even angrier." "How could that be! Look, Jiuhua, we had such a big fight before, but now we are still friends, aren't we? What do you think, Xinchun?"

".I don't like quarreling."

"Isn't this right!"

Jiu Huayue turned her face away and said, "There is still no talk of reconciliation."

"Then how about sitting down and having a barbecue together? I'll call Rinka over as well. Rinka has been really worried about you guys quarreling lately, and she's been absent-minded in class every day."

Neither of them had any objection to this.

Snapped!
Yang Kui Chitose smiled and clapped her hands, "Then it's a happy decision!"

Akai Muzi on the side didn't expect that this would allow Xinchun and Xiaoyue to sit down and eat together?
Aren't the two of them incompatible now?

She quickly nudged Fujii Itsuki's belly with her elbow and quietly asked him what was going on.

".The two of them chatted about something last night." Fujii Itsuki replied quietly.

"What did we talk about?"

"Xinchun told Xiaojiuhua why she liked me, and it probably touched Xiaoyue's heart."

"I see. The situation is very good right now!"

".Not at all."

"That's better than looking at each other and starting a fight. You saw how they were in the last kendo match. They were too fierce."

“That’s true.”

"Ashu, do you have any plan to take advantage of the victory?"

"Yes, I have."

"What is it?" Akai Muzi was extremely curious.

"Isn't there a cultural festival before the national team competition?"

"Ashu, you want to do something with the cultural festival?!"

".Muzi, why are you saying such harsh words? What do you mean by hands and feet? I won't force anyone. I just hope that everyone can understand each other."

"What a scumbag. By the way, how far have you come with them? Girls nowadays are much scarier than boys. Did you have sex with them?"

".I'm not the kind of person who has no sense of propriety."

Chitose Haruki quickly brought both Shinharu and Kuka back to the bonfire, bringing a bunch of skewers along with Rinka.

She is the host of this small party.

"Alright, alright, everyone look over here!"

Chitose Yang Kui cleared her throat, "I know about the quarrel between Kokoro and Satsuki. Although I don't know the specific reason, the fact is that if we continue the cold war, it will ruin the atmosphere. It will also make Rinka's intention of inviting us to be her guest go to waste."

As she finished speaking, she gave Matsumae Shinchun and Jiuhuayue each a grilled oyster.

"What does this mean?" Jiu Huayue looked up and asked.

"It's never good to quarrel, right? Although I know you can't reconcile now, anyway, how about sitting together and eating something first? Don't tell me, Xiaoyue, you think everything about Xinchun is bad. When we were hiking, she was the one who cared about you the most."

".I mean the life loss you gave me."

Yang Kui Chitose smiled and added to the two, "So, let's not quarrel for now. Xinchun and Xiaoyue will eat this raw mouse, and then how about we all have fun all night? After eating, we will go over there to spear fish. Let me tell you, Brother Shu is really good at spearing fish. He used to be able to spear a lot of fish!"

Akai Muzi: "I can prove this, it's true."

Jiuhuayue is full of black lines, what a weird thing
But after Chitose Yangkui finished speaking, she saw that Matsumae Shinharu did eat the oysters.

Doesn't this mean that—

"Xinchun-chan is great! Xiaoyue Xiaoyue, look, Xinchun-chan has eaten it all, so——"

Judging from Yang Kui Qiansui's expectant gaze, Jiuhuayue felt a little embarrassed by her look.

So, why did Xinchun choose to eat it?
Because you agreed with Chitose's opinion?

Or, her thoughts about herself were just like what she had said to herself last night. She really didn't want to quarrel with herself, nor did she want to go against herself at all.
Everything that happened before was just because she, as Matsumae Shinharu, needed the uncle's love.

This feeling is so strange.

The bonfire was crackling nearby, and Yang Kui Qiansui's eyes were always looking at him.

I clearly wanted to refuse.

But I always think back to last night when Xinchun hugged her legs and looked lost.

Logically speaking, shouldn't I hate her?

Since you hate her, why would you be so shaken?

Jiuhuayue thought she didn’t know, she really didn’t know.

"Xiao Jiuhua is so awesome! So awesome!" Yang Kui Chitose couldn't help but praise her, and Hiiragi Rinka also breathed a sigh of relief after seeing it.

".Can you please not use that childish tone?"

When Matsumae Shinchun saw Jiuhuayue eating the oysters, she was just slightly surprised and didn't say much.

Seeing this, Akai Muzi immediately clapped his hands and said to everyone:
"In that case, let's officially start the bonfire barbecue party today. I'll call all the classmates over so that we can have fun together."

Muzi is really good at taking advantage of opportunities, but the atmosphere has come to this point, so naturally no one can refuse.

Akagi Muzi called everyone together, and the students gathered together to add firewood to the bonfire in the middle to make the fire bigger.

Soon, the bonfire was burning.

Muzi asked everyone to gather around the campfire and circle around holding hands.

Although this was really childish, under the encouragement of Muzi, Qiansui, and some other classmates, they still held hands and started spinning in a circle.

Many girls acted embarrassed here, Jiuhuayue was one of them.

Then it’s time to spear fish.

The others went into the water, while Chitose Yangkui stood on the reef, using her cell phone to shine the light and give orders.

Rinka and Kokoharu both ended up in failure, and the other students were even worse, as they basically couldn't get a chance.

This time it is September.

“Xiao Yue Xiao Yue! Right, right! No, left, left!”

Which side is it?

You couldn't see anything in the water at night, Jiuhuayue got annoyed and started to fish randomly.

etc.
It seems like the fork has been found.

"What?! Xiaoyue!! You really got it!!!"

".Just casually."

"It's still a green croaker! Amazing."

"Let the teacher try it." Akai Muzi also went into the water.

Fujii Itsuki sat on a nearby reef and found that no matter where he looked on the moonlit beach, he could see bodies full of summer charm. Even at night, they were wearing swimsuits that made it hard to look away.

He involuntarily turned his gaze to Jiuhuayue and Matsumae Xinchun.

From the collarbone to the chest, then from the chest to the waist tied with thin ropes, and finally to the two people's curvy legs.

I have touched both of their legs.

If they reconcile, does that mean I can put my hands under their pleated skirts at the same time?
Xinchun's small, plump legs feel so nice to the touch that your hands will sink into them if you pinch them.

Xiao Jiuhua's is very tight and smooth. When you touch it, you can't help but slide it onto her lotus feet.

No, I was suddenly thinking about something.

Fujii Itsuki shook his head and quickly drove away these thoughts.

Snap, clack, rustle.
The sea breeze blew over, shaking the surrounding woods, and the waves beat against the sand.

Fujii Itsuki sat on the reef, looking at the people spearing fish on the beach, and thought to himself, this can also be considered as a so-called summer memory of youth, right?
He was increasingly looking forward to the days after the cultural festival.
