"I advised you out of kindness. There is no need to include me as a competitor."
"As expected of you, Xiaoxue. Your will is stronger than mine."
Pushing aside the branches that blocked their view, the girls saw a bonfire party. Indeed, someone was confessing his love under the guise of singing.
The students cheered enthusiastically, which was in stark contrast to the chilling silence here.
"Let's go, he's already looking for us." Yukino was the first to walk out of the woods.
Natsume Rin was indeed very curious about where the two of them had gone. After all, even if the plot was to develop into the grove, there shouldn't be two girls involved.
He sent a message but received no reply. He occasionally peeked at the edge of the woods but saw no one. He gradually relaxed, thinking that with their intelligence, they would not encounter any accidents even if they were running alone in a place like this, so he turned his attention to the matter at hand.
For example, this tragic confession scene...
It is not uncommon for high school students to confess their love. At this age filled with the beauty of youth, even when they are going to high school, they cannot resist their instinctive desire for the opposite sex.
Besides, there are so many activities organized by schools in the island country. Sobu High School clamors on the surface to ban unscrupulous activities that take up study time, but under the nose of the Ministry of Education, the old principal can only clamor.
Of course Natsume Rin's attitude towards the confession was in favor of it. He was just a spectator most of the time, so he definitely agreed.
Singing a love song written by oneself at a bonfire party certainly sounds romantic, but for the onlookers, the already mediocre love song coupled with the even loupier voice, the longer they listen, the more torture they become.
Except for the girl with a happy face, the spectators in the audience were already ready to see the next couple.
"Takagi, get off my feet now! Your singing is so awful!"
The outspoken monitor attracted the gaze of the couple who had just successfully confessed their love, and he puffed out his chest proudly.
"How dare you show your affection in front of me!"
Natsume Rin wondered how this guy became the class monitor. He didn't seem reliable at all.
And don't vent your anger on your partner just because you can't find a girlfriend.
"It seems we missed the show." Shiina Mahiru sat next to him. When the majestic squad leader really met a girl, he immediately lost his dignity like a plucked rooster and pulled Totsuka Ayaka to sit aside.
"You scared them all away."
"You can sit over there." Yukino looked at the campfire calmly and spoke to him calmly, just like usual.
"Please, I was here first." Natsume Rin felt that something was wrong there, but she couldn't describe it.
"Natsume-san, this kind of rule is no longer allowed in today's island country."
Don't talk like you've experienced a permitted scenario, because the Yukinoshita family probably hadn't even shown up at that time.
"Remember to get up early tomorrow. I will teach you how to ski."
Seeing the constant cheers coming from people and the couples on the stage constantly changing, Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Natsume Rin with calm eyes, and then returned to the dormitory early despite Shiina Mahiru's attempts to keep her.
Chapter 184 Touching Friendship
The warm sunlight shone through the window onto Natsume Rin's face, accompanied by waves of itching. His nose twitched and he couldn't help sneezing, waking himself up from his sleep.
"See, there's no need for socks."
"But I'd rather use socks."
In a daze, he heard a speech that was tantamount to a crime. He rubbed his eyes and climbed out of the bed. Looking at the two bad friends in front of him and the earpick in Totsuka Ayaka's hand, Natsume Rin reacted quickly and put on his clothes in a hurry.
"what time is it!"
He didn't bother to settle the score with these two guys. What Yukino said last night was still ringing in his ears. He usually got up early, but now he was staying in bed for a rare time.
"It's just past ten o'clock. It should still be in time to go to the cafeteria now." The squad leader used his thinking to measure Natsume Rin, and after receiving a middle finger, he was so angry that he wanted to bite Natsume Rin to death.
There were many messages on the phone, including several communications from senior schoolmates. The last message was from Shiina Mahiru, who told her where she was skiing.
As expected of Shiina-san, he was almost moved to tears.
Without even having breakfast, Natsume Rin ran in the resort where snow had just fallen. The sounds of passion were heard all around her. It was rare to see someone who could choose to stay in bed today.
"Good morning. You're actually still sleeping now." Eriri saw him from a distance and slowly moved the sled to his front.
She was also a half-novice, and did not rashly challenge the difficult tracks, but had a lot of fun on the beginner snow slopes. This also allowed her to be the first to discover Natsume Rin.
"Your equipment is over there. We got it for you. Yukinoshita-san is waiting for you."
"Thank you, senior." Natsume Rin calmed her breathing, put on her skis under Eriri's teasing gaze, waved her ski poles awkwardly, and walked towards the director in the slow walking posture of a penguin.
Although the other three were all in the advanced area, the gap between them could be seen with the naked eye. Senior Kasumigaoka would fall down from time to time, while Yukino and Shiina Mahiru were very relaxed and wandered around her when she fell.
Natsume Rin, who arrived late, was not blamed, but was just looked at a few more times by Yukino. Then he was given about ten minutes to adapt before he was ready to try on the advanced track.
"Natsume, throw away the ski poles. They are used to help you speed up." Shiina Mahiru taught him from the side.
For beginners, the effect of such teaching can be imagined. Even though Natsume Rin is a genius, after listening to her and throwing away her ski poles, she still screamed and rushed towards the tree not far away.
Clang.
He managed to avoid close contact between his face and the tree trunk by using his hands to cushion the impact and his impromptu reaction, but he was still lying on the ground, looking at the girls who gathered around him with annoyance.
"Why does it accelerate faster after throwing it away?" He took off the sled and got up, patted the snow off his body, recalled the details just now, and put on the sled again.
"Because you are a beginner, you just want to imitate our movements." Yukinoshita pointed out the root of the problem: "It is better to follow others when you first ski."
The specific posture is similar to the formation when an eagle catches chicks. The skilled person acts as the hen, and the beginner closely follows the other's pace. Yukino planned to lead him to try it, and Shiina Mahiru reached out her hand to him.
"Let me do it."
The minister, who was a step slower, felt a little melancholy. Seeing that Natsume Rin had neatly reorganized her equipment and followed behind Shiina Mahiru, she looked indifferently in the other direction.
Under the special encouragement of Kasumigaoka Utaha, Eriri chose to give up skiing on the beginner's ski slope and chased after her with her ski poles.
"Fat woman, stop right there!"
The way Shiina Mahiru teaches Natsume Rin is really like a kindergarten teacher teaching a child. The two of them keep a close distance. While she is shouting, she reaches out to correct his movements. If the process continues like this, with Natsume Rin's intelligence, she should be able to learn skiing quickly.
With nothing to do, she chose to put on her equipment and challenge the more difficult areas alone.
Natsume Rin noticed the position of the minister, grabbed Shiina Mahiru's clothes and shouted, "Is she okay?"
The wind on the mountain is very strong, especially when exercising, it makes a whistling sound past your ears, so he has to speak louder.
"fine!"
Shiina Mahiru also shouted at the top of her lungs: "We already tried the area this morning."
"That's good."
Natsume Rin felt relieved and followed Shiina's steps attentively. He had an extraordinary IQ and monster-level physical coordination. After mastering the basic skills of skiing, he was able to quickly break away from the coach's instructions and try some fancy tricks.
"Wuhu!"
As she skied across the slope, Natsume Rin trembled all over and screamed. This kind of physical stimulation and pleasure cannot be described in ordinary words. No wonder so many people risk their lives to engage in dangerous extreme sports.
"Wait for me."
Shiina Mahiru followed closely behind him and even performed a difficult fancy move when going over the slope.
The duos that followed were not as elegant as them. Kasumigaoka Utaha screamed and shouted, but she couldn't get rid of Eriri who was holding her tightly.
"Let go, or we'll both fall!"
"Dream on. Even if we have to fall, we will be together."
"Ahhh!"
The touching friendship got the ending it deserved. Kasumigaoka Utaha, whose skills were not that good to begin with, had a burden hanging over her, so the consequences can be imagined.
On the high slope where accidents frequently occur, they lay there and called out to each other.
"It's all your fault, you idiot. Otherwise, I would definitely be able to get over this slope."
"Hehe, is it impossible to achieve it after taking me with you? How dare you brag about your skills?"
When Natsume Rin and the others turned back, seeing that the seniors were in such good spirits, they could only shake their heads and smile bitterly and leave.
Blue sky, white snow, towering mountains and lush trees, skiing in such a place almost made them forget the time. It was not until Yukinoshita Yukino performed a difficult spin handsomely and fell from the sky that they heard their stomachs growling.
"I found an interesting ski resort."
Yukino put her snowboard upright, her tone a little excited, her fair face flushed due to the high-intensity exercise, and it was obvious that she was having a lot of fun.
"Interesting?" Shiina Mahiru didn't know what this meant.
"It should be a new ski resort that the resort is planning to open. Although the snow surface has been smoothed, it has no boundaries. It is a place that only experts can master."
When she heard the name of the master Shiina Mahiru, she sensed danger, and the burning fighting spirit around her made her touch her head resignedly.
Chapter 185: Master? It can only be me!
"Master?" Natsume Rin's eyes were serious, and he applied this title to himself very naturally.
Although he has not learned skiing for a long time, he can perform various difficult moves and should be deservedly called a master!
"Minister, tell me that location so I can conquer it."
Natsume Rin was hooked at the first try, which made Shiina Mahiru rub her forehead helplessly. In order to prevent the excited boy from being overwhelmed by impulse, she checked the time.
"Let's go back and eat first. The seniors should have gone by now."
The few people had no objection, so Natsume Rin took off the sleds on her feet, held them while singing, and walked towards the resort.
Halfway through the walk, news came from the group that the seniors who had fallen early did not insist on competing with the ski resort, but just patted their butts and went back to the resort to enjoy life.
【Come back soon, we have prepared something good! 】
Not only was there verbal temptation, but senior Eriri also posted a few photos to prove that Kasumigaoka Utaha was not lying.
"And these things they found there?"
The director did not open his cell phone. He came close to Natsume Rin and took a few glances, admiring the abilities of the seniors.
"After all, it's a resort, and they are not short of money. They will definitely be able to buy a lot of good things if they go to the cafeteria." Natsume Rin quickly thought of the details. With the senior's communication skills, she would definitely not have the problem of not being able to spend the money.
With the temptation of delicious food, Natsume Rin's steps became more agile, so that Yukino who was carrying skis could not keep up. But this was an uphill slope, so it was pure dream to want to slide over.
"Wait for us."
The slow-moving penguin Shiina was walking at the back. She was also using a sled. Although her physical strength was better than Yukino's, her sled was much heavier.
"What a hassle." Natsume Rin stopped and looked at the scenery in the distance. Then she looked down at the girls below and said condescendingly, "It seems that I am the real master!"
