Luo Chen was both amused and exasperated. He scrutinized Shinomiya Kaguya intently until she seemed uncomfortable, then asked dejectedly, "Is this how you treat my student council vice president, Shinomiya Kaguya?"
"Pfft!"
Kaguya Shinomiya coughed forcefully, a wave of embarrassment washing over her.
Luo Chen, naturally not one to be without a sense of humor, didn't want to dampen Kaguya's spirits, so after saying that, he quickly added, "So Kaguya-san has such a cute side too. I thought she'd always be cold and aloof."
"Because I've never experienced any of these things before," Kaguya Shinomiya blurted out, trying to suppress her embarrassment.
Luo Chen understood, and then felt a pang of sympathy for her.
Indeed, being the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family is not an easy job.
Luo Chen bought all three items, but unfortunately, Kaguya Shinomiya still couldn't take off her mask and couldn't enjoy the pleasure of eating on the street.
Kaguya Shinomiya was also disappointed, especially when she saw boys and girls happily eating snacks, and her complicated gaze kept falling on the snacks in her hands.
Luo Chen hesitated for a moment, then said, "Kaguya-san, would you like to eat while we walk?"
Kaguya Shinomiya tilted her head: "Huh?"
"I have a solution!"
Luo Chen smiled mysteriously, grabbed Shinomiya Kaguya's wrist, and strode towards a shop selling rain dolls.
When she returned, Kaguya Shinomiya was speechless. She tried to open her mouth, and her mask opened up a long gap. Without a doubt, she could eat now!
However, this way of eating is simply unacceptable for the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family; it is far too unseemly and disgraceful!
"What are you afraid of? No one will recognize you. Just eat as much as you want. Or you can wait until you get back to the hotel to eat."
Luo Chen fiddled with the rain doll he had just bought at the store, and launched a provocation.
Kaguya Shinomiya was indeed provoked, opened her mouth, and let out a loud "ah!" as she almost dropped a candied hawthorn.
"Ha ha!"
Luo Chen was amused by Kaguya Shinomiya's version of the abyss's giant maw and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Shut up!"
Kaguya Shinomiya stomped her foot and glared at Luo Chen with a hint of annoyance.
Unfortunately, she was wearing sunglasses, so Luo Chen couldn't see her expression and was just laughing on the side.
Kaguya Shinomiya had no choice but to ignore Luo Chen and continue eating her candied hawthorn. It wasn't sour at all; on the contrary, it was very sweet and delicious.
Then came the cream cake, eat!
Takoyaki, eat!
After Luo Chen paid for it, they also got a very strange dessert. After trying it, they found that it was also rice cake.
Since it was afternoon, the food stalls hadn't fully opened yet, and the two of them quickly finished browsing. Further down, only the toy stalls remained.
Luo Chen stopped at a bow and arrow stall. Remembering that Kaguya Shinomiya was very skilled in archery, he invited her, "Want to try it out?"
Kaguya Shinomiya refused without hesitation: "I'm not playing!"
Ever since she won the archery championship in junior high school and was secretly called "Queen of Super Strength" and other strange nicknames by her classmates, she immediately kept her distance from such things.
"Hehe, little girl, your boyfriend treats you so well, buying you so many delicious things, why not just agree to be his girlfriend? Let's see if you can help your boyfriend earn a cute reward!"
"We have everything here, like skateboards, kendo uniforms, wooden swords..."
The old man at the stall chimed in with a smile.
Kaguya Shinomiya's pretty face flushed bright red, and she hurriedly retorted, "We're just ordinary classmates and friends!"
After saying those words, I couldn't control my racing heart and ran out as fast as I could.
Luo Chen grinned and complained helplessly to the stall owner, "Grandpa, aren't you just getting me into trouble? We're not related."
The stall owner, with a worldly-wise look on his face, chuckled and said, "Young man, why don't you give it a try? I have lots of prizes suitable for young girls here. Sometimes, all you need to go from having no connection to having one is a gift!"
"Not interested~"
Luo Chen rolled his eyes and was about to leave, but after seeing a very pretty headband embroidered with azure ice flowers in the prize area, he thought for a moment and tossed out a thousand yuan.
"Let me try."
Having spent all that money yesterday, Luo Chen suddenly realized that he hadn't given Kong Yinzi a gift yet.
This headband is nice; I'd like to include it as a gift.
Although it was a bit cheap, just an ordinary little gift from an archery stall, it looked nice, so that's all that mattered.
"Alright, alright, come on in."
Seeing that he had finally persuaded Luo Chen after much pleading, the old man immediately handed him the bow and arrows, letting him shoot. 5.3
In his view, a novice like Luo Chen was the easiest to fool and deceive, and another large sum of money would be made!
However, after Luo Chen's first arrow hit its mark, his expression changed slightly. After the second arrow also hit its mark, his expression gradually darkened. The third, fourth, and fifth arrows...
The old man suddenly became anxious and hurriedly said, "Young man, just take what you want. I'll let you take two items! My business is small, and I can't afford to lose money like this!"
at the same time.
At another stall across the street, an elderly woman, her expression equally changed, stopped the strangely dressed young woman in front of her, who was hitting her target every time, but was wearing sunglasses and a mask. She hurriedly said:
"Young man, take whatever you want, I'll let you take two items! Just now you even refused to take back the thousand yuan I owed you! My small business can't afford to be ripped off!"
------
P.S.: Kaguya Shinomiya up↑.
Chapter 212 The top-tier tool was cursing under his breath...
"Hey, Kaguya-san, here you go."
"President~, here you go."
When they met again at the market, Luo Chen and Shinomiya Kaguya were both stunned by each other's synchronized movements.
Immediately, Kaguya Shinomiya looked up in surprise.
Luo Chen didn't think much of it and casually explained, "After you left, I couldn't resist playing a game and won this hair tie that looks like it matches you."
To be honest, the old man at that stall was afraid of him. He only shot five arrows before he hurriedly told him to choose two prizes and leave.
The first thing he chose was a gift for Sora Ginko, which was the ice flower headband that he had initially set his sights on. As for the second thing, to be honest, there wasn't anything he liked. However, he took this hair tie because it looked a bit like Kaguya Shinomiya's.
Seeing Luo Chen explain so calmly, Shinomiya Kaguya had no choice but to clench her fist and cough lightly, saying, "I... I'm the same as the president. Not long after I left, an old lady forcibly dragged me to play, and then gave me two gifts."
She opened her other palm as well.
In addition to the sandalwood beaded bracelet given to Luo Chen, there was also a small souvenir of an emperor penguin from the Hakone Garden Aquarium.
"I plan to use this as a phone charm when I get back. I don't need the rest of the bracelet, so I'll give it to the president."
Both of them found suitable reasons to give each other gifts.
Luo Chen accepted it without any qualms.
Kaguya Shinomiya pretended to be calm, but her heart was pounding and her mind was racing. She accepted the hair ribbon with the composure she showed on the surface.
After visiting the market, the afternoon's activities were officially over.
The following evening, Luo Chen was to participate in a class activity with the team. This activity was not like an aquarium visit; it was very intensive and there was a high possibility of exposure. Shinomiya Kaguya could only stay obediently upstairs.
It wasn't until around 9 o'clock that the activities for Class 2-F ended, and everyone began to disperse, excitedly heading to the hot springs.
Luo Chen wasn't in a hurry to soak.
This activity marked the end of Kaguya Shinomiya's first autumn trip. He was thinking that he should wait until everyone in Class 2-F had finished before coming with Kaguya Shinomiya.
I waited until 10:30.
The last person in the hot spring left.
Luo Chen went upstairs and called out to Shinomiya Kaguya. The two parted ways at the entrances to the men's and women's hot springs and began their own hot spring bathing experiences.
"Phew! That feels so good."
Since there was no one around, both hot springs seemed unusually empty. Kaguya Shinomiya's voice easily reached Luo Chen through a very tall wooden wall.
Luo Chen, enjoying the hot spring water, smiled and said, "The Shinomiya family must have many hot spring facilities, right? Is this Shinomiya Kaguya's first time soaking in a hot spring?"
"President?!"
Kaguya Shinomiya was startled at first and nervously looked around. After confirming that the sound was coming from the other side and that Luo Chen had not been peeping at her while she was taking a bath, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Lying comfortably by the hot spring, Kaguya Shinomiya lazily replied, "Of course it's not my first time, but the Hakone hot springs are different from other places; they seem more comfortable."
"Is it just psychological?" Luo Chen joked.
"President~!"
Kaguya Shinomiya somewhat displeased stopped Luo Chen, emphasizing, "Absolutely not! Because the Shinomiya family has never had an open-air hot spring like this!"
"is it?"
Luo Chen remained noncommittal, thinking that Kaguya Shinomiya's positive feelings about this place must be largely related to her state of mind.
Although Hakone hot springs are famous, it would be absurd if the Shinomiya family's businesses didn't have a hot spring resort of equal renown.
