Tokyo Wingman King

Mai Majima, who was unable to participate in the cruise, naturally did not have the experience of watching the unprecedented Yokohama fireworks on the cruise with Asama.

The girl, who looked like a calamus flower, sighed with a little despair.

"Once the fireworks were over, it felt like it was too quiet here. It was as if the entire Towada Lake had become a forgotten corner of the world."

The screams of the girls downstairs broke the "quiet" in Jiandao's mouth.

Fortunately, there are no neighbors near this mansion, otherwise at least three police cars would have been parked downstairs.

Fusukawa, who was wearing a butterfly pattern yukata, hugged Shimajima and said with a smile,
"Who said the fireworks are over? We can set off fireworks~"

"Rise-chan, there are no fireworks here, right?"

Immortal River, who was holding Jiandao, let go of one hand, blinked and smiled,
"Look, aren't these just fireworks?"

The two girls saw Immortal River slowly raising his clenched fist, and with the sound of "咻——", he raised his fist above his head, and with a sound of "Boom~~~", he suddenly opened his fist, Like a firework blooming in the night sky.

The slender white fingers, without any nails left, bloomed in the faint light.

Asama first searched through the cabinets with the most dust, and then knocked on the floor where the dust was heavier, but could not find any compartments.

Thoth is the Egyptian god of wisdom and the moon god. The Library of Alexandria, which is as famous as the Lighthouse of Alexandria, was the world's largest treasure trove of knowledge in the 3rd century BC. It was destroyed by war at the end of the 3rd century.

None of them expected that Asama would find the flame gem so quickly.

In addition, since there is more than one level-clearing prop, the book should be a series, or exactly the same book with the same name.

The final prop for the Daring Test Contest has been found.

The Immortal River slowly lowered its hand, and along with the sound, fired another [Firework].

It seems that the student union probably believes that no more than 20 groups of people participating in the courage test meeting can find the final answer.

"This time it's a four-foot jade~"

After listening to Asama's problem-solving process, Majima and Futami looked at Asama the way Ptolemy looked at his superior, Alexander the Great, or the Egyptians looked at the god Thoth.

Under the starlight and the lanterns on the railings, the girls performed mysterious rituals belonging to the summer of youth.

Futami and Majima looked at each other, pursed their lips and smiled, and also imitated the Immortal River and set off [fireworks].

"TA~TAMAYA~"

"Just as everyone laughs when they are happy and cries when they are sad, regardless of ancient or modern times, when people feel excited and joyful, they will raise their hands high and spread their fingers, just like fireworks~"

All doubts are solved.

But these books are just books, there is nothing inside.

"Write the color on the palm of your hand and you can change the color of the fireworks~"

He picked out a book at random and found that it was just a model book.

He quickly selected a few books with the word gray in their titles to read, such as "Cinderella - The Collected Stories of Charles Perrault", Emily Dickinson's collection of poems "Ashes", Frank McCourt's "Angel" "The Ashes of Ra" and so on.

Wisdom is wealth, so the breaking point is probably on the bookshelf.

"Where was still water found?"

There are many legends that the moon represents wisdom, but not many are associated with flames and ashes.

Asama stood by the door, watching the three girls each raising their heads and setting off virtual fireworks. For a moment, she could only think of Xu Sanguan cooking with his mouth in "Xu Sanguan Sells Blood" and him being drooled by imagination. That family.

Jiandao regretted standing on the terrace to set off fireworks. He accidentally missed Asama's wonderful decryption process.

It is divided into three aspects: politics and military, economy and science and technology, and people's livelihood and culture. There are three books in one cycle, with a total of 60 books.

"Ryuuzaki gave me a hint. Fire is born from ashes."

Fire is born from ashes.

Asama pondered the possibilities based on the keywords he had acquired along the way: [Moon-Wisdom-Wealth-Knowledge-Ashes].

So he took down the book titled "Ashes of the Library of Alexandria - The Cultural Influence of the Ptolemaic Dynasty". The lower end of the spine was printed with the Egyptian god Thoth - with a mouth like a crescent moon and the body of a red heron. of gods.

He quickly found a book titled "Ptolemaic Dynasty Series" on the west bookshelf.

The Fire Gem, hidden in the book called Ashes.

"Jingshui-kun found the gem so quickly?"

Futami's eyes lit up when he saw what Asama was holding in his hand.

After Fusukawa finished speaking, the three girls simultaneously wrote Asama Shisui's name on their palms.

"People with white hair are much smarter~"

Thinking of this,

But the kind and sincere eyes of Immortal River were more dazzling than those fireworks.

Busei walked over to Asama, took the red glass product and looked at it carefully.

"You have such a rich imagination."

Realizing that others were doing the same nonsensical things as themselves, but that they wanted to do very much, they looked up and smiled at each other again.

"KAGIYA!"

"Is this gem hidden in the bookshelf or in the book?"

Fusukawa tried to touch Asama's head, but Asama dodged it.

The vitality idol didn’t take it seriously;

"Well~ We have two groups of people. How about taking another fire gem~"

Asama estimated the time. They had stayed in the mansion for at least 70 minutes during the two-hour courage test. It was time to return to the camp.

I don’t know if Horikita Hanyu and the others have returned. As for Arima and Ryuzaki, they probably went back after 10:.

"Go get it. It's finally over."

"Hey~ Mr. Robert obviously enjoys it, but tsunderes are not very popular these days~"

"Thank you, I'm not a pleaser."

"I know, Mr. Robert is an altruistic personality."

Asama rubbed his brows. He had declared a long time ago that he was not a good person. Although he had a need to move towards a higher level, now he was only doing what he thought was right.

"Go find the gem quickly."

Immortal Sichuan stood in front of the bookshelf, counted the number of books in the series, and said with a smile,
"Since there are many souvenirs and the puzzles are the same, it is actually possible to find the gems without the hints given by Ryuzaki-kun~ Just exhaustively check all the books in the series."

Asama nodded, the student union still took good care of those students who were unable to use their brains normally due to fear.

On the stone fence of the terrace, two hemp ropes leading to the ground were tied.

Considering that the girls were all wearing yukata, Asama decided to return the same way.

A few people passed by the Shura Field of the Mansion, and ended up bringing three teams of little tails with them.

They are all girls.

For them, it is more meaningful to get close to [Asama-sama] and let him accompany them for a while than to pass the courage test.

After the love counseling department handed over the props, Wisteria, the COS fireproof girl, finally showed a smile on her old-fashioned face and said,
"As expected of you, Mr. Asama. I heard that you solved almost all the puzzles we prepared on the third floor."

"The experience is great, but this traditional courage test [changing candles before going to a shrine] will be more friendly to everyone."

"Everyone had a great time. Aren't the scene-decryption haunted houses popular recently?"

Ziteng smiled and said,

"Of course, trends are reincarnated. Old things that were rejected in the past will always come back to us in unexpected ways and times. We will definitely consider it."

Asama nodded.

"Thanks for your hard work."

"By the way, as a reward for passing the test of courage, there will be a special appreciation dance held by the student union tomorrow. Are you interested in attending, Mr. Asama?"

Student Council Vice President Sakura Sakura glanced at Fusukawa, Futami, and Majima next to Asama again.
"Your three dance partners should be looking forward to it too. Take these four tickets."

Before Asama agreed, Fusukawa helped pick it up.
"Thank you, Senior Ziteng~ If the student union needs help these two days, feel free to ask us~"

"President Katsura and Arima-kun have already made arrangements. Just treat them as special guests at the thank you party and enjoy it. Or are you [Band] going to perform some songs for everyone at the dinner?"

"That's not necessary. Thank you, Senior Ziteng, and take my leave."

Asama is not a performer. As soon as he left, Futami and Majima bowed slightly to Wisteria and followed him.

"Immortal Chuan-san, come on."

Ziteng smiled and looked at the eldest lady who was born in the Immortal Sichuan family but didn't have any arrogance at all.

"Hmm~ Has Shito-senpai decided on your dance partner for the dance?"

"not yet"

"I can do the men's step~"

"That's no longer necessary."

"Okay~ I believe you can find it soon~ Because senior Ziteng, you look beautiful when you smile~ Goodbye~"

Immortal River teased the seniors, held four admission tickets, and chased Asama and the others with brisk steps.

The crisp knocking sound of clogs and stone slabs echoed through the quiet mountain path.

Mio Wisteria put the eye mask back on and said softly,
"Is Fusugawa Rise the only true nobleman recognized by the Five Photographic Imperial Masters in the entire Toyo Hidewa community?

So can it be judged that Shizuo Asama is not as bad as the rumors say? "

She shook her head again,

Konoe and his affairs made her feel that this person must not be as simple as everyone seems. But Arima's recognition of him made her think that Asama could not be a cunning person who was scheming.

Shizumi Asama is really an existence that becomes more and more incomprehensible the more you look at him.

Those stupid little girls must not be able to withstand this sense of mystery.

Asama originally wanted to walk quickly at the front to put some distance between them.

But when he thought of Majima and Futami, who were wearing clogs that were difficult to walk on, he slowed down again.

The girls soon caught up, and this time the four of them walked side by side, almost filling the path.

Futami approached Asama and took a deep breath.

"The night breeze is very comfortable and the air is very clean."

"Then let's slow down the pace a little bit more?"

Jiandao suggested.

Immortal River smiled and said,
"Guess, how many steps do we have to walk back to the camp?" "Well, if it's 2 kilometers, it's about 3500 steps?"

"Want to count together?"

"If you only count, a walk will become a rush."

"Robert-kun, can you help us count?"

"Let your phone count for you, it has this function."

"Robert-kun is not smart at all now."

Fusukawa stuck out his tongue at Asama.

Jiandao suddenly asked,

"Jingshui, you want to go for a morning run every morning, right?"

"It's been a while since I ran away."

"So this morning?"

"I want to practice my coordination recently."

Immortal River smiled and said,
"Isn't he already super high school level? Could it be that our Yinghe Ninja-sama is preparing to become Hokage? Hmm~hmm~~~I think it is possible to surpass the purpose of a generation~"

"I wanted to say this a long time ago, have you watched too many cartoons and popcorn movies?"

"Hehe~ I just know some common sense about high school students~"

Futami and Shimajima discovered that they were not on the same level as Fusukawa when it came to initiating topics.

Misstep, I wish I had known we could enjoy a silent walk together.

Futami quickly found a way to break the situation. The best way to prevent Fusukawa and Asama from having an encrypted conversation was to let one of them talk to her.

"Rise-chan just said that Shizui-kun is not a pleaser, but an altruist. Is there any difference between the two?"

"Hmm~ How should I put it? People-pleasers and altruists are actually motivated by self-interest."

When Jiandao heard Immortal River's answer, he was confused and said,

"Isn't this a violent argument? Being kind to others turns out to be a selfish act?"

Fusukawa glanced at Asama and said,

"The purpose of the please-pleaser personality at the beginning of establishing this personality is for his own sense of security. His inferiority complex allows him to use his own efforts and respond to the expectations of others to fill the gap created by his inferiority complex. This state is particularly consuming and can even cause stress to the other person.

But an altruist is not like this. He is confident. In order to better help others, he will continue to do things that are beneficial to his own growth. True altruism will not passively respond to the expectations of others. Instead, we proactively select people who can help, and through this help, we improve the environment and even the world, allowing us to develop better. Altruism benefits everyone. "

Er Jian thought for a while and said,

"Maugham mentioned that some people feel relieved when they break up or say goodbye, as if they have completed a social task. If he is reluctant to pay for the relationship, this can be considered a pleaser personality. ?”

"Well, if it's not a one-sided contribution, then it's considered social phobia~"

Jiandao brought the topic back again,

"I agree with your description of a pleaser personality, Rishi, but I don't agree that altruists are self-interested. Can those who devote themselves to their relatives, friends, country, and ideals also be considered selfish people?"

"Well, Xiaomai, you are right. I also think that this kind of person is selfless. However, if this person regards grand things such as family, country, human beings, etc. as his own business, he has attached his soul to other things. , these things are equal to him, so the so-called altruism does not hold true for him. "

"Isn't this a logical sophistry?"

"Self-interest is different from selfishness. It is not a bad word. If he does not regard these things as his own business, but sacrifices himself for these things, then the society that forces him to do this must be terrible."

Immortal River and Asama looked at each other again at this moment.

She saw a slight difference in emotion in Asama's eyes.

Has your understanding of the world become a little more mature?

"Robert-kun, do you think I'm right?"

I don’t know why, but this sentence appeared in Asama’s mind——

[Li Xping! You are born a devil. In your pursuit of justice, hidden is the deepest malice of human beings. To you, destroying life is as easy as putting on clothes and eating. ]
If he were God, he would not create such imperfect creatures as humans.

Asama didn't stop and walked down the stone stairs that suddenly appeared. He said to the three women,
"A pleaser personality is indeed a passive person who sees behavior as pressure. After being rejected, or failing to meet expectations, he will retreat, be paranoid, painful, and self-consuming; altruism is an active choice and sees behavior as an incentive. People who grow up and can accept rejection calmly. As for whether altruistic people are also self-interested, I think in a narrow sense, altruism transcends self-interest. Its position is not the opposite of self-interest, but includes it. Self-interest."

In the ears of the three women, Asama's words seemed to be an explanation for what he had done for a long time.

Asama noticed that their eyes were wrong and quickly added,
"But be wary of those people in your life who treat you unconditionally. All the so-called not asking for anything in return is actually a price tag for what you have given."

"."X3
Fusukawa and Shimajima felt that Asama was belittling himself again.

Er Jian thinks, is Jingshui-kun talking about her? Her ultimate goal is indeed to spend every day of the rest of her life with him in a loving relationship. Therefore, all her actions are considered to have a price tag. Woolen cloth?
Wait, it seems like you haven't done anything beneficial to Shizui-kun, right? ? ?
Futami quickly fell into a whirlpool of self-loathing.

Second meeting, second meeting, you are so useless! ! !

Hanyu, Horikita, and Yukino have returned to the camp and are roasting marshmallows in front of the campfire.

Seeing Asama and the others returning, Hanyu waved his hands and shouted,
"Oh!!! Asama-sama is back~ Your story of winning the first place in the Courage Competition has been spread throughout Eiwa~ From now on, I will call you Asama Big Courage~"

As expected, Hanyu called him "Asama-sama" without any respect at all.

Yukino and Horikita looked dejected.

Horikita failed to date a girl.

Xueye, on the other hand, fell into self-doubt - yesterday the big teacher said that Xueye Yinren had feelings that he had to respond to, which made him restless all day long.

That's all, let's just be a [Yin Powerful Person] who has no interest in women and only has requirements for self-growth!

He finally understood that the great teacher's words were 70% true and 30% false. This was a test for everyone.

If he, Xueyeyinren, went to a courage test competition, he would definitely not be able to solve 1 puzzles in one hour.

Hanyu clapped his hands, looked at everyone sitting in a circle around the bonfire, and said with a smile,
"It's a pity that I missed the courage test meeting~ How about we tell ghost stories together~"

Futami raised her hands in agreement. Now she and Asama are sitting very close. If they tell ghost stories, they can definitely get closer, right?
Yukino abstained, but sponsor Hanyu and Horikita, who had regained his composure, agreed.

Asama objected. He said that it was very cold at night in Lake Towada, and there was no need to add extravagance to the story-telling session to enjoy the coolness.

Hanyu smiled and said, "I understand, Big Asama thinks that the people in the student union are spending our money indiscriminately, and they will only do superfluous things, right?"

Why don't you go to the press department?
Naturally, the three girls all agreed.

The final voting result was 5:1, and the Ghost Story Conference was successfully held.

Before it even started, Hanyu and Horikita were whispering to each other and letting out strange, pitiful laughter.

"Would you like to light 100 candles?"

"After telling a story, blow out one?"

Candles are of no use at this lakeside.
"Who comes first?"

"The person who voted no goes first."

Everyone's eyes turned to Asama.

Asama sighed, don't underestimate the heritage of the country where "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" was born.

"When I was little, I listened to my mother."

As soon as Futami realized that he and Majima were getting closer, Asama moved the stool towards the bonfire. If this continued, wouldn't it be equivalent to pushing him into the fire?

Futami gave up on his plan to get closer, and while listening to ghost stories, he looked at the shadows on the ground illuminated by the shaking bonfire.

She shook her body quietly and found that shadows would be attracted to each other when they were close to a certain extent. She knew this was the penumbra effect caused by the diffraction of light.

All he could do was look at the shadow to quench his thirst. Futami made his own shadow and Asama's shadow stick together.

After Asama finished speaking, a strong wind suddenly blew up, blowing out the bonfire that he had forgotten to add fuel to.

"Asama, you don't need to finish telling the story, just blow out the bonfire."

Which of your eyes saw that I blew it out?

Asama rekindled the fire, and it was Majima's turn to tell ghost stories.

She told the story of the Umbrella God vividly.

Asama sighed, Majima was indeed not afraid of ghosts at all.
Fusukawa told a story about ordering takeout in the middle of the night, but the person who knocked on the door was not the takeaway guy.

Xueye, who couldn't tell ghost stories, failed to give up and told the scariest story he had ever encountered as a child - he forgot to bring snacks during an outdoor spring outing and could only watch other people eating snacks. He deliberately The sound of swallowing became louder, but he found that it was as if he was the only one in the entire city.

Even Asama almost couldn't help it and looked at him with sympathy.

Horikita told a story about a time when he went out to buy magazines at night and met a strange foreigner holding a dead mouse. The foreigner struck up a conversation with him. He used all the translation software on his mobile phone but could not translate it. No matter what language the man spoke, the foreigner couldn't understand what Horikita said. He didn't even understand Horikita's wave goodbye at the end, and just watched him leave in a daze. After buying the magazine, Horikita suddenly realized that the foreigner was probably an alien.

Jiandao said doubtfully,
"It's really an alien. Why didn't I capture you?"

"Maybe you think Acheng's research value is lower than that dead mouse?"

Hanyu told everyone the answer.

At this time, Arima and Ryuzaki came back and were also brought in to tell ghost stories.

Unexpectedly, the two men's stockpile of ghost stories was larger than Japan's stockpile of nuclear materials.

Facts also prove that there is not a single coward in this circle of people.

They kept talking like this until early in the morning. Horikita couldn't stand it any longer and said she wanted to sleep, so she finally gave up.

Immortal River said that Imari would not be back tonight, and there were 9 people divided into four tents in the camp.

Horikita Hanyu and Yukino picked the largest tent and got into it.

Arima and Ryuzaki chose the smallest tent.

The remaining two tents were set up by girls at noon.

"Asama."

Arima was about to say, let Asama come in and squeeze in, but Ryuzaki stopped him.

Ryuzaki's test of Asama is not over yet.

Asama looked at the largest tent. Horikita actually threw his luggage out and zipped up the ventilation curtain of the tent.

Immortal River looked at the other two women,
"How can I sleep tonight?"

Asama replied quickly,
"You three squeeze together, and I'll ask Yukino to sleep with me."

Xueye suddenly let out a loud snoring sound.

Stare————————X3
The girls' hearts started to beat faster.

None of the girls responded to Asama's arrangement.

The situation fell into silence. (End of chapter)
