Rizu Ogata said calmly, "It actually exists and has lasted for thousands of years. There must be a reason for its existence. I also want to find out why it can live so long."
"I see, then let's go."
Hayakawa stepped aside and smiled slightly.
At that moment, Fumino Furuhashi stopped Hayakawa.
"Wait a minute, Hayakawa,"
Fumino Furuhashi's expression changed slightly, and she asked Hayakawa, "Are we going to stay at this temple for the next few days?"
"yes,"
Hayakawa was taken aback and looked at Furuhashi with a puzzled expression: "Is there a problem?"
This is a huge problem.
Fumino Furuhashi puffed out her cheeks, looking at Hayakawa with a mixture of anger and embarrassment.
She usually knew almost nothing about temples, and what she knew most about them was the old-fashioned romance novels about handsome abbots falling in love with female monks disguised as men. But based on her limited knowledge of temples, she figured that the temples Hayakawa could visit must be full of male monks, all of them shirtless, practicing martial arts all day long, like the Eighteen Bronze Men.
All temples are like this, how are we supposed to live here? It's inconvenient for us to do anything.
Fumino Furuhashi didn't want to get out of the house, only to find the courtyard full of naked monks practicing martial arts; she'd get a sty.
But seeing Hayakawa's matter-of-fact expression, Furuhashi couldn't voice his dissatisfaction. He could only purse his lips and whisper, "It's alright, let's go in."
"Um…"
Hayakawa didn't quite understand what Fumino Furuhashi was thinking, but he was used to it, so he comforted her, "Just tell me what's wrong."
Fumino Furuhashi hesitated for a moment, then turned her head and whispered, "If possible, please try to arrange my and Ri-chan's rooms next to yours."
That would be safer, that's what Guqiao thinks.
Hayakawa was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "It's alright, there are plenty of rooms, and the environment is quite nice."
The problem isn't the room environment! It's a safety issue, a safety issue, do you understand?!
Chapter 329 Just the two of us
Of course it's fine for a guy like you to stay in a temple, but for two girls like me and Ri-chan, it would probably be quite inconvenient to move around in a temple.
Fumino Furuhashi glanced at Hayakawa with a hint of helplessness, then sighed softly.
Well, a temple it is. Thinking about it carefully, there are some advantages to Hayakawa living alone in a temple.
At least it can prevent him from having affairs, right?
Furuhashi glanced at Hayakawa, her mood improving slightly. Although Hayakawa didn't seem interested in romance, for some reason, Furuhashi always felt that this guy had an inexplicable ability to attract girls and was very restless. Keeping him alone at the temple was a testament to his self-discipline…
"Ah, Hayakawa-kun,"
A woman's voice suddenly came from the side: "You're back."
Fumino Furuhashi paused, her expression blank as she looked in the direction of the sound. There she saw... no, two girls standing in the courtyard not far from the entrance. The one on the left had a simple, neat yellow ponytail, and her beige shirt and fitted coat gave her a sporty look. The one on the right, however, seemed more approachable, pure, cute, and cheerful. Her appearance had a Yamato Nadeshiko feel to it, making people want to be close to her. Once you looked at her, you couldn't look away.
The two were about the same height, looked somewhat alike, and had identically good figures—the kind that could arouse the girls around them. And clearly, Gu Qiao belonged to the type that could be deeply aroused by them.
"..."
Fumino Furuhashi looked down at her chest, which stretched from her toes, then at the towering breasts of the two girls in front of her, and then at the incomprehensible development of Riju Ogata next to her. Finally, a look of regret appeared on her face.
There are so many adorable girls in this world, why? Why can't there be one more like me?!
Fumino Furuhashi was furious, but she quickly realized what was happening.
Calm down, this isn't the time to wallow in self-pity. The most important thing right now is to figure out what's going on with these two girls in front of me.
Fumino Furuhashi's expression darkened slightly as she quietly approached, only to find Hayakawa introducing herself and Riju Ogata to the two unfamiliar girls.
"These two are classmates from the same school as me, and also my friends,"
Hayakawa calmly introduced them, saying, "These are Fumino Furuhashi and Riju Ogata."
Rizu Ogata nodded: "Hello."
Fumino Furuhashi quickly nodded in agreement: "Hello, I'm Fumino Furuhashi."
Seeing this, Hayakawa introduced the sisters from Mikazuki-ji Temple: "This is Aoba Yuzuki, and this is Aoba Tsukiyo. As you can see, they are sisters and the daughters of the former head priest of this temple."
The Aoba sisters quickly introduced themselves, and the atmosphere seemed to improve instantly.
It turned out to be the case.
Fumino Furuhashi glanced at the two girls discreetly, then breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems to be a plot similar to that in TV dramas, where the daughter of the temple abbot has lived in the temple since childhood and shouldn't have any connection with Hayakawa.
As Gu Qiao pondered this, he followed the group into the house. As they passed a room, a sweet and soft female voice suddenly came from inside.
"Hayakawa, where's my coat? The coat I left with you last night?"
Fumino Furuhashi froze instantly, turning her head to look at Hayakawa in fits and starts, her smile completely shattered.
coat?
A middle school girl who looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years old came out, put her hands on her hips, and frowned at Hayakawa: "Where did you put my coat? I was going to wear that today."
When Fumino Furuhashi saw Aoba Kaigetsu appear, her eyes widened into saucers, and she turned to stare blankly at Hayakawa.
Such a young child... How could you even hurt such a young child!
"Ha, who knows where you threw it last night,"
Hayakawa said impatiently, "Go to my room and search the floor later to see if you threw it somewhere."
"Oh, okay."
Aoba Kaigetsu shrugged, then glanced at the two strangers, Furuhashi Fumino and Ogata Riju, and shrank back a little shyly. She nodded politely, whispered "hello," and then hurriedly left.
"Ahaha, I'm so sorry, gentlemen, my sister was a bit rude,"
Upon seeing this, Aoba Yuzuki smiled awkwardly and said, "That's my younger sister, Aoba Haizuki. She's a middle school student and still quite young, so people usually avoid her when she comes over."
"fine."
Fumino Furuhashi and Rizu Ogata shook their heads without minding, but looked at Yuzuki Aoba and the others with some surprise in their eyes.
Three sisters, and they're beautiful young girls...
I feel like there's a very prominent sister element next to Hayakawa in Ichinose Academy, and it's even more impressive. This one is just three sisters, but that one is practically quintuplets.
In Ichinose there are the five Nakano sisters, and here there are the three Aoba sisters. So, does Hayakawa really like the sister element?
I'm so sorry I don't have a younger sister!
Fumino Furuhashi was furious and couldn't help but turn to look at Hayakawa. When she saw his indifferent expression, she looked away.
Well, there are already three sisters, so there can't possibly be any other girls. Next, it should be a normal temple...
"What's going on? Why does it feel like there are suddenly so many more people?"
An arrogant voice suddenly rang out, carrying a sharp malice.
Fumino Furuhashi: "..."
Another one has appeared, and just by listening to the voice, you can tell that this one has completely different attributes from the previous ones. I'd guess it's most likely a tsundere twin-tailed girl.
Fumino Furuhashi turned her head expressionlessly, and what came into view was a girl with yellow twin ponytails, arms crossed. She stared coldly at them with a tense face, and her superior aura was so imposing that it was impossible to look directly at her. Her face was dazzling and her cold and noble features were so striking that it was hard for a pretty girl to have such a sharp sense of pressure.
In short, it was a beauty that was out of place, refusing to compromise with the surrounding atmosphere. Boys would feel a tense excitement upon seeing it, while girls would feel a sense of worry. Unlike the gentle and approachable Aoba Yuzuki, it was a beauty full of aggression. It was not clear which was superior, but in terms of impact and temptation, Mia was more powerful.
Another beautiful girl...
Fumino Furuhashi silently turned to look at Hayakawa beside her: What on earth is going on?
"Ala?"
At that moment, Kagura, with the graceful posture of a black swan, peeked out from beside Mia, looked at Furuhashi and Ogata with a light smile, and said, "A new guest has arrived? Hello."
"Hmm, this is Mia, and God... hiss."
Just as Hayakawa was about to introduce himself, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his lower back. The intense pain felt like he had been bitten by a black caiman, and he gasped in shock, turning around angrily: "What are you doing?"
He met Fumino Furuhashi's smiling face.
"Hayakawa,"
Fumino Furuhashi wore a perfect smile and said, word by word, "Explain it to me clearly."
"..."
Ee-ah... what is it?
……
"nunnery?"
In Hayakawa's room, Furuhashi Ogata, Hayakawa, and another person were sitting on the tatami mats. Furuhashi was conducting a serious and solemn interrogation of Hayakawa, and Hayakawa answered the first question: "Why are there only women in the temple?"
Hayakawa's answer was, "Because this temple used to be a nunnery."
"I see, no wonder we didn't see a single man,"
Fumino Furuhashi looked at Hayakawa with some helplessness: "Speaking of which, you're a boy who actually volunteered to join a nunnery. I really don't know whether to say you have a strong will or that you're shameless. Aren't you afraid of causing trouble for others after you join?"
"I didn't know this was a nunnery when I came in,"
Hayakawa rolled her eyes and said, "Besides, Mikazuki-ji will no longer be a nunnery after I enter."
"That's what I changed for you, okay!"
Fumino Furuhashi said angrily, then asked, "So, is it convenient at other times?"
"It's alright. They've drawn a line for me, laid down three rules: I can't go to the other side of the corridor, and they won't come over to me either."
Hayakawa said calmly, "I think this is fair; we won't bother each other."
"That's actually pretty good."
Fumino Furuhashi was taken aback, and a variety of thoughts immediately began to surface in her mind.
If Ms. Yuzuki and the others keep their promise and don't come to the Hayakawa corridor, then it would be much more convenient for me to live here too, wouldn't it?
Even if you sneak into Hayakawa's room in the middle of the night and stay with her, you don't have to worry about anyone finding out.
"Cough cough..."
Fumino Furuhashi coughed lightly. She was just daydreaming. As a pure young girl, how could she possibly do something like sneaking into a boy's room in the middle of the night?
At most, they'd play cards together or sit close together and watch TV.
That's too early to talk about...
Fumino Furuhashi said to herself, looking at Hayakawa in front of her, she wanted to reach out and touch his face, but she didn't dare to.
Time, please slow down. Let these days last longer, ideally forever...
I will never have to make a decision.
However, this is clearly impossible, because…
"Hayakawa!"
Ogata Riju, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly raised her voice and stared intently at Hayakawa with an extremely serious expression.
Fumino Furuhashi felt a jolt in her heart, as if a sharp blade that had been hanging over her head had finally fallen.
Rijang…
"What's wrong, Ogata?"
Hayakawa said doubtfully.
“I…I,”
Ogata Rizu stammered for a long time without being able to utter a complete sentence, but suddenly remembered something she had read in a psychology book.
"You can't use language fluently because you subconsciously feel that what you say can't express your emotions. So when you encounter this situation, just look into the eyes of the person you want to express your emotions to."
"Because the eyes are the best place to express one's inner feelings."
"call…"
Rizu Ogata took a deep breath, repeating the same sentence in her mind, and then looked into Hayakawa's eyes and said, "Could you come with me to walk around outside the temple later?"
"Just the two of us."
