Kitahara Hakuba laughed and said, "Then I'll trouble you to be the bassist."
"Well, since Teacher Kitahara has made such a request, I have no choice but to comply."
"Huh? A mere young lady?" Nagasawa Miko cast a disdainful glance at her.
"Am I some kind of strong woman?"
"There's no such thing as a 'strong woman' in this context, is there?"
"Meige is a strong woman."
"Huh? Do you want to die?"
Kurosawa Hiroki, in a pretentious manner, hid behind Kitahara Hakuba, his delicate fingers tugging at his baby's horn as he spoke.
"You dare to hide under Kitahara-sensei's coattails your whole life?" Nagasawa Miko coldly narrowed her eyes.
However, the stones, as if casually scattered by the gods, solidified into a bronze-colored embankment beneath the mulberry trees.
The spores attached to the rocks emitted a phosphorescent, eerie green hue.
On the steps, the maple tree on the right spread its branches horizontally in an almost miraculous way, and the crimson maple leaves filtered the sunlight, casting dappled light and shadow on everyone's faces.
Kitahara Hakuba looked up and observed the tree trunk. The maple trees in Kyushu grow horizontally because the trees in volcanic areas form low, rainbow-shaped branches to resist the wind, creating "weeping maples".

I've reviewed very well, girls, come and ask me questions!
However, they didn't seem to notice.
As you ascend the steps, a vermilion torii gate comes into view, and the mirror reflects the red maple trees. The leaves are not pure red, but rather the color of rouge mixed with caramel.
When the wind blows, tourists walking on Shintomoto feel as if they are passing through a flowing tunnel of flames.
"so beautiful."
The girls around her said this in unison, but then immediately added,
"But it's so cold!"
Because the towering trees at Kirishima Shrine are so enormous, and the surrounding area is shrouded in white mist, the sunlight comes and goes intermittently.
Especially since it rained lightly here yesterday, the ground was wet, and the perceived temperature was probably only 18 degrees Celsius.
Kitahara Hakuba had no choice but to let them endure it; he couldn't warm the hearts of all seven girls.
"Look, look, over there are seven girls accompanying you to give birth."
"Holy crap, this is really hilarious."
"I never expected there really is a King Iikiya in Japan! I ran into him as soon as I arrived!"
The female tourists who were taking pictures of the scenery suddenly started whispering and laughing, their eyes fixed on Kitahara Hakuba and the others.
But they all spoke Chinese, taking advantage of the fact that Kuno Tachibana and the others couldn't understand it, which is why they were able to speak so boldly.
Kitahara Hakuba was thinking of explaining, because they had taken photos, and if the photos got out, it might have a bad impact.
However, after thinking about it carefully, he realized that there were so many people taking pictures in the carriage just now. Even if he went to explain to these girls now, what would he do about the others?
Rumors keep popping up; does he really need to deal with them one by one?
That would be exhausting, wouldn't it?
“Teacher Kitahara.” Kana Eto walked over.
Several girls were standing in front of her, looking around, and then there was Sang Ying.
"What are they saying to us? Chinese?"
She noticed the other person's gaze, and judging from their expression, it was a blatantly incomprehensible smile.
"Yes, she said the wine is very cute, even more beautiful than the scenery here."
Kitahara Hakuba casually explained that he could only ask the seven of them to be his "little girlfriends" for the time being.
Chapter 369, Chapter 368: Looking at the girl, hopeless (6 combined into one)
When Kitahara Hakuba stood among the girls posing for photos and asked passersby to help him take pictures, the foreigners kept exclaiming "Holy crap, holy crap!"
"Teacher Kitahara, what does 'Holy crap:::' mean?" Kana Eto repeated in broken Chinese.
"It means so cute that words can't describe it," Kitahara Hakuba explained.
Kurosawa Maki said she had learned something and immediately put it into practice, earnestly saying:
"Tachibana, holy crap! Miya, holy crap! Mai, holy crap! Seniors, holy crap! Everyone, holy crap!"
Kitahara Hakuba:
?
"Holy crap, is that what you mean?" Kirishima Mai tilted her head in confusion, feeling that something was off.
Kitahara Hakuba raised an eyebrow. Why was this happening?
Why does this word sound so unappealing when spoken by Japanese high school girls?
"Let's hurry up and move forward, we're in a rush today," Nagasawa Miya reminded him.
The wind band has to practice tonight, as tomorrow is their group outing.
This also means they can't stay out too late. Although Kitahara-sensei is with them, this is a matter concerning the entire club.
As the group walked forward, they saw that the shrine buildings had all been renovated, showing no signs of age and possessing a modern aesthetic.
Inside the shrine stands an over 800-year-old sacred tree bound with shimenawa (sacred rope). The trunk is covered with green thorns, and it takes two people to barely hug it.
There aren't many recreational facilities inside the shrine; it's mainly for girls to broaden their horizons and take photos, so that they can at least say, "Ah! I've been to that place!" when chatting with someone in the future.
After washing my hands and rinsing my mouth, I arrived at the place that teenage girls love to visit most: drawing lots and hanging ema (votive plaques).
The fortune-telling system at Kirishima Shrine is different from other places. It features images of Hina dolls dressed in various colored kimonos, with fortunes for love, career, and more.
But spending a hundred to know your future fate seems too cheap, doesn't it?
It would have to be at least within five thousand, to the point where it would hurt my heart.
"You're unhappy if it's expensive, that's why girls are such a hassle."
As if reading Kitahara Hakuba's inner thoughts, Kuno Tachibana suddenly spoke up.
"I was just curious!" Kurosawa Maki pouted slightly.
"It's a 'small fortune'! I won a small fortune! Look, look!"
Kana Eto stared intently at the divine staff in her hand, her eyes gleaming with excitement. She didn't seem sad at all; on the contrary, she appeared incredibly happy.
"It's alright, Minister Eto, you can have a few more tries, it's only a hundred strokes anyway," Kurosawa Maki comforted him.
"Huh? What do you take the divination slips for?" Nagasawa Miya's eyes narrowed. "Do you keep drawing a cracked version of a mini-game that satisfies you?"
"No! It's because I made a wish for my career during the New Year, and the result was a minor misfortune!"
Kana Eto swayed her upper body gently like a spring and said with a smile,
"Only ten months have passed, and they've already turned misfortune into good fortune!"
"Sorry, Kana almost always draws bad luck lots when she draws them, and she never draws again," Takahashi Kami explained. Eto Kana smiled and said, "..."
"Because you don't get that feeling when you re-puff."
Kuno Tachibana asked curiously, "Even if you draw 'extremely unlucky'?"
“Even if you draw a ‘very unlucky’ number.” Kana Eto nodded and repeated.
Kuno Tachibana raised an eyebrow slightly, turned to look at Kirishima Mai beside him, and said, "Mai, what are you smoking?"
"Career," Kirishima Mai whispered.
"Just like me."
Holding the already opened love fortune slip in her hand, Kurosawa Maki asked, "Why don't any of you draw love fortune slips? Am I the only one?"
“I also got a love fortune.” Nagasawa Miya held up the fortune stick in her hand.
Seeing this, Kuno Tachibana covered her mouth with her small hand, narrowed her eyes slightly, and chuckled:
"Oh my, I didn't expect that Miya, who seems so aloof and strict on the surface, actually still hopes to be loved and cared for by a boy."
"Huh?" Nagasawa Mia's full under-eye bags twitched slightly. "I was just helping Yu draw lots!"
"Why? Yu-chan can smoke by herself."
Mia Nagasawa crossed her arms, and you could feel her breasts lifting slightly as she did so.
"Haven't you ever heard of shipment transfer?"
"Transfer of shipment? What's that?"
Kuno Tachibana looked at her as if she were an idiot and said,
"Has the bad luck you played at kindergarten spread to the divination slips?"
Miyako Nagasawa further explained that if two people with a special relationship draw lots simultaneously, and one draws an unlucky lot while the other draws a lucky one, they can switch places. The divination slip is carried for a week, thus altering their subsequent fortune. (This is from the Lingdian Kanshu website, which is not translated as it's not part of the explanation.)
"Wait, isn't this evil magic?"
Eto Kana asked in horror,
"Like a horror movie! Misfortune has been transferred?! What?!"
The shrine was already cold, and startled by Nagasawa Miyabi's words, the girls felt a chill seeping into their shoes and socks.
Heading upwards.
Kami Takahashi raised her hand to touch her face, and asked somewhat shyly:
"Actually, I wanted to ask this when I was in the brass band: is the relationship between Nagasawa and Goto really just that of sisters? Even things like this..."
“Of course,” Nagasawa Miya replied earnestly.
Goto nodded in agreement.
"Mingwa"
