Slow Love - Chapter22

×××

…

The next day.

Just yesterday.

The Sports Festival of the first years ended perfectly with Ying Shan winning the championship.

They had all kinds of feelings and new goals.

Prunus and the other first-year students went to watch the individual matches of the second-year seniors.

"Ahn Chiu-chan, hurry up, the match is about to start!"

Prunus, who had recovered, grabbed An Qiu's arm with a serious face.

After the competition yesterday.

An Qiu fell asleep almost immediately after returning to the dormitory. Prunus woke her up with breakfast.

"Hey, isn't it selective?

Why do you have to drag me here … "An Qiu's eyes were dead. Today was the holiday for the first-year students. Of course, they had to stay in the dormitory!

"Ahn Chiu-chan doesn't care about Explode -senpai's match?" Prunus frowned. "You have to cheer for him, right?"

"No, that's disgusting."

That's disgusting. "An Qiu rolled her eyes in her heart.

"Asakura Yasuaki!

You're here today!

You must be planning to watch Explode -senpai's match. You act like you don't care. As expected, you're also a big fan of Explode -senpai! "

Just as An Qiu and Bai Jian were heading towards the competition venue at the speed of a tortoise, an existence that annoyed An Qiu suddenly appeared in front of the two girls. An Qiu looked into the distance and stared at the young man with a beige durian hairstyle.

Her expression instantly changed to one of disgust.

Her luck hasn't been very good recently.

Prunus tugged at the corner of her clothes. Ahn Chiu-chan, expression management!

"… It's too difficult. He's too clingy." An Qiu said with a face full of disgust.

Speaking of which, this guy's hair was really supported by hair paste … There were so many good styles in the world. Why did he go and copy that evil senior?

"… Huh?!

What did you say?!

Don't think that you're amazing just because you advanced to the individual round yesterday.

You just received the damn guidance of Explode senior.

I'm f * cking … "Explode put his hands stiffly on both sides of his body and raised his head to curse An Qiu with disdain.

He seemed to be very angry because he was eliminated in the horse riding battle yesterday.

An Qiu, who was still grumpy from being woken up, had a dead look in her eyes.

Lin Sanjiu was also troubled by this kind of person who was so energetic early in the morning. Thinking of this, she suddenly reached out and grabbed Bai Jian. Using her personality, she directly teleported them to the entrance of the sports festival, completely forgetting about the extravagant COPY boy.

Prunus: "… Is it really okay to use personality like this?"

An Qiu's eyes were dead. "… He's too annoying."

Prunus's mouth twitched helplessly.

…

At the entrance of the gymnasium.

After using An Qiu's personality, the two girls arrived at the entrance of the sports festival at a cheat-like speed. At first glance, the number of spectators was obviously many times more than yesterday. Perhaps it was because the competition between the second and third grade was more attractive than the first grade.

"… Hey, isn't that Prunus and Asakura?"

Just as An Qiu and Prunus walked to the auditorium, Teacher Number 13 noticed the two girls. When Prunus saw Teacher Number 13, his eyes lit up and he trotted towards him. "Good morning, Teacher Number 13!"

"Good morning …" Teacher Number 13's tone was a little stiff and he sounded a little tired. However, he still mustered up his energy and greeted Prunus. "I've watched both of your competitions. I'm very touched, especially Prunus. You've improved a lot …"

"Thank you, Teacher Number 13!" Prunus nodded happily. An Qiu slowly approached from behind and nodded gently at him.

"Teacher, you look tired." Prunus noticed that Teacher Number 13 was more tired than usual. He tilted his head in concern.

"Ah, this is because …" Although Prunus couldn't see, Teacher Number 13 still put on a very awkward expression. Before he finished speaking, a cute boy and girl suddenly poked their heads out from behind Teacher Number 13's huge body and stared at Prunus innocently and curiously with their big watery eyes.

"… It's the girl from the TV!" The boy blinked his eyes and pointed at Prunus in surprise. Then, he walked up to Prunus.

"I know this big sister!"

The girl also happily walked out from behind Teacher Number 13. She rushed to An Qiu's side and hugged An Qiu's leg.

Prunus and An Qiu were shocked.

"… Hey, hey, Ryuko, Ryuko, come back quickly!"

Teacher Number 13 seemed to have noticed the two girls' confusion and his tone became a little stern. He hurriedly picked up the two kids from Prunus and An Qiu like chickens. The two naughty kids looked dissatisfied and hurriedly punched and kicked Teacher Number 13. "Stingy!"

"We want to talk to our big sister!"

"Teacher Number 13 is stingy —"

"Stingy —" The kids sang the same tune.

Prunus and An Qiu were dumbfounded.

"Sorry, these two are my nephews. My relatives asked me to take care of them for a few days …"

Teacher Number 13 ignored the naughty kids and explained to Prunus and An Qiu with a look of enlightenment, "It's just that there's a sports festival and the two kids are clamoring to watch it. I had no choice but to bring them to work … Unfortunately, I was assigned to clean up the venue today and I'm not indoors. I'm looking for a teacher who can help me take care of them …"

Prunus was stunned. She looked like she was about to make a move.

An Qiu glanced at her and said with a scary look, "… Don't, don't."

"If Teacher Number 13 doesn't mind, An Qiu and I can help take care of them."

Ignoring An Qiu's look, Prunus's face bloomed into an angelic smile. She liked Teacher Number 13 very much. It would be even better if she could help!

An Qiu was speechless.

Teacher Number 13 paused for a moment. Seeing Prunus's healing smile, he realized that the two kids were also very curious about Prunus, the "big sister who walked out of the television". If Prunus could help take care of them …

"Won't it be troublesome?"

Teacher Number 13 put the two kids on the ground. The two kids hurriedly hugged Prunus's legs from both sides.

"Of course not!"

Prunus bloomed with a cute and gentle smile. Her little face was flushed red. She reached out and patted the two kids on the head. Then she explained obediently, "I'll take care of the kids for dinner. I'll return them to you after the sports festival!"

"… I'll give you bonus points for the end of the semester!" Teacher Number 13 was moved under the mask. He suppressed the urge to marry his angel student.

An Qiu was speechless.

Can I mention that I don't like kids?

Prunus: smiling.jpg

An Qiu: … Forget it, I'm talking about my life.

…

…

After tying up the two little cuties, Prunus and An Qiu led the two kids to the stands. Then, they saw Bombardment Scorch, one of the top 16 students of the second grade, who happened to be preparing in the lounge.

Holding the hands of the two kids, Prunus hurriedly called out to Hong, who had just woken up and was obviously a little sleepy. Even though she had sent him a bunch of cheering stickers this morning, it was still better to talk to him face to face.

On the other side, the half-red, half-white boy came back to his senses and noticed Prunus … and the two cute kids she was holding hands with. He was confused again. "… Uh, Prunus."

"… Bombardment Scorch, Teacher Number 13, you have to do your best today and win the championship!"

Without noticing Hong's confusion, Prunus gave him an angelic smile to cheer him on. As for the two kids, when they saw the tall and expressionless Hong, they nervously hugged Prunus' calf.

"They are …" Hong looked down. Although the two kids didn't look like Prunus, their intimate state really made him feel conflicted. Hong frowned and tilted his head. "… Illegitimate children?"

An Qiu looked helpless. … Is this senior's brain fried?

"They are Teacher Number 13's nephews. He can't leave because of work, so he asked me to help take care of them." Prunus explained very casually. For some reason, Hong actually heaved a sigh of relief.

Speaking of which, Prunus's aura was really suitable for taking care of children. He couldn't do it.

"Good luck."

Hong gave him a heartfelt blessing. "… When I took the make-up test for the temporary hero license last year, I felt that children were very difficult to handle." At that time, the children even called him Ding Ding. What a bunch of scary naughty kids.

Prunus: … curious.jpg

"… Move!

Half Bastard, you're blocking the way! "

Just as Prunus suddenly had the thought of saying a few more words to Hong, a particularly fierce voice sounded from behind Hong. Hong naturally moved aside and looked at the youth with the beige durian hair behind him.

"There are still many places in this corridor." Hong corrected Explode very straightforwardly, although he didn't really mind giving way to Explode.

"So noisy —!

If I say you're blocking the way, then you're blocking the way!

You're an eyesore, understand? Half Bastard!? "

"It's not Half Bastard, it's Bombardment Scorch."

"… Talking to you really pisses me off!?

Go to hell, bastard! "

Prunus panicked and covered the children's ears, only to find that she only had one pair of hands and couldn't cover the children's ears. Ahhhhh — Thus, the twins, who were frightened by Explode's bad face and violent way of speaking, began to cry.

It was Explode's turn to be dumbfounded. He had intended to burn Bombardment Scorch's face a second time, but the flames on his hand were instantly extinguished. His white triangular eyes swept across the two children, and for some reason, there was a trace of fear in them.

An Qiu laughed. "… Ha, senior, look at you."

Explode's expression just now was the most beautiful thing she had seen since breakfast.

"Ha?!

Why are there children here?

Bastard, don't cry! "

Explode, who was going to be a hero, thought that it was impossible that he couldn't even handle two children. He hurriedly approached Prunus, who was holding the two children. Prunus, for some reason, became excited and stared at Explode with disdain.

"Senior, you're so bad!

How dare you swear in front of the children! "Prunus hugged the two children in her arms.

"You're so annoying, you stupid white haired man!

I'm trying to think of a way, bastard! "

Explode's personality was divided. His expression was one of fear and irritation — as if he was helpless against these harmless children.

An Qiu leaned against the wall of the corridor, looking at Explode's sinister smile. She was in a particularly good mood, and once again sighed that Explode's confused and flustered expression was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen in her life.

"Senior, tsk tsk."

An Qiu shook her head with a look of pity on her face. "Your personality is really doomsday. Even the children are scared of you."

"… Don't laugh, you damned woman!

Believe it or not, I'll teach you how to die, huh? "

The tyrant, who was provoked by An Qiu, exploded even more sparks. Seeing the crackling flames in the tyrant's hands, the twins hugged Bai Jian even tighter. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh —"

Explode: … I'm doubting life.

…

[The second-year individual competition will officially begin in an hour. Students who have made it to the top 16, please register at the attendance office as soon as possible —]

Just as the corridor was filled with the cries of the children and the complaints of Boisterous Tycoon, the athletes of the competition reminded them again. Boisterous Tycoon and Boom Hand paused, knowing that it was time to leave — —

Prunus despised Explode very much, but she had no objection to Hong. She reached out and hugged the children, saying to Hong, "Little Bombardment Scorch, go ahead — and Senior Explode, I'll take care of things here."

Speaking of Explode, Prunus's tone became a little bit angry.

Explode's expression exploded, but he didn't dare to say anything.

"Then I'll go."

Hong nodded. After all, he wasn't involved in this tragedy. He reached out and grabbed Explode's clothes, but Explode was so angry that he slapped his hand away. "I can walk on my own!

And don't walk in front of me! "

The children wailed even louder.

Explode instantly shut up, his eyes losing the hope of survival. Okay, Half Bastard, you go first. Please walk in front of me.

An Qiu instantly teleported herself to a place where there was no one and laughed like an idiot.

…

…

Using Prunus's personality to make a bunch of toys for the children to play with, Prunus and An Qiu finally succeeded in calming the two naughty children down. After that, the two brought the children to Class 1-A and successfully received the love of the whole class.

Chiku Saito: "Teacher Number 13's nephew actually looks like a human!"

Yuko Uchikai: "Chiku … Teacher Number 13 was originally a human too."

Knife-cutting Iori: "If I please these two children, I wonder if I can get extra marks at the end of the semester …"

Ryuta: "It's the big pervert from yesterday!"

Dragon Son began to babble, "… Pervert."

Knife-cutting Iori's face was filled with embarrassment. He quickly retracted his hands and sat in the audience like a well-behaved dog.

The children in Class 1-A burst into laughter.

After playing around for a while, not all the students in Class 1-A came to watch the seniors' competition today. Prunus looked around and saw that only Shadow Hill, who won the championship yesterday, Knife-cutting and his good friends in class, and the girls in Class 1-A were present.

There was no time to introduce them yesterday. Shadow Hill, Hundred Ghosts, was the first-grade champion who successfully used his excellent personality to defeat Kobayashi Tomoki at the sports festival yesterday. His character was set as a cold and tall handsome guy, so he also succeeded in gaining a bunch of NC fans yesterday.

For example, Ryuko was looking at Shadow Hill with an undisguised lovestruck expression.

"Sister, I think that big brother is really handsome."

Ryuko whispered in Prunus' ear. Before Prunus could react, An Qiu heard it. She suddenly had a little more patience with the children. Thinking about how these two brats made the seniors show such a cowardly expression this morning, her resistance to the children was greatly reduced.

An Qiu asked on a whim, "Ryuko, do you think that big brother who blew up this morning was ugly?"

Ryuko nodded his head like he was pounding garlic. "Ugly as hell."

An Qiu's face instantly revealed a black-bellied satisfied smile.

Prunus: "Ahn Chiu-chan, can you really get a sense of accomplishment like this?"

An Qiu: "… Yes, I can."

After a long period of tinkering, the individual battles of the second grade finally began. Perhaps for the sake of the safety of the earth, the assembly very considerately separated the second grade students from Boom, Explode, Dehisa, and so on. Therefore, in the first round of the battle, Prunus almost didn't get to see the legendary match between Class 2-A's own people and their own people. But even so, the competition was still very exciting.

That was because the seniors of the second grade were much more flexible than the first grade, and the power was not on the same level as theirs. Naturally, the scene was gorgeous and dazzling like a Hollywood sci-fi movie.

Perhaps for this reason, Xiong Ying specially added protective measures for the second day of the competition (regardless of whether it was the third grade or the second grade). It was said that this was to protect the second and third grade students from the ferocious second and third grade students to the live cheering audience.

The individual battles of the second grade took much longer on average than those of the first grade, so when Prunus and An Qiu finally got to see the final between Boom and Explode, the two children already couldn't hold back.

— It meant that they couldn't hold back in other aspects.

Ryuta innocently and cutely tugged at Prunus's clothes. "Sister, I want to go to the toilet."

Ryuta also nodded shyly, but she didn't dare to be seen by Shadow Hill next to her.

Prunus blinked, her pair of red eyes reluctantly looking at Boom, who was about to start a fight. "But the competition is about to start …"

Ryuta and Ryuta looked aggrieved and expectant.

Prunus: Okay, let's go to the toilet. I don't want to watch the competition.

Class 1-A: It's said that the toilet is very far away. Prunus, we'll light a candle for you.

Prunus: … Let's light a candle, please record it for me.

With one hand holding Ryuta and the other holding Ryuta, Prunus walked to the toilet at the back of the venue with a heart full of desire to cheer for Boom.

Because there were many people at the sports festival, it took Prunus a long time to walk through the ordinary corridor. Listening to the deafening sounds of explosions coming from the other side of the venue, Prunus felt wronged and apologized to Boom in her heart.

Prunus: … Sorry (/w\) You're fighting for victory, but I'm taking the child to the toilet.

"Because I'm a girl, Ryuta wants to follow me into the ladies' toilet."

Reaching out to pat Ryuta's head, Prunus smiled and led Ryuta and Ryuta into the largest toilet together —

…

…

Xiong Ying Sports Festival, the audience was using the ladies' toilet.

Prunus was carefully taking care of a pair of twins to the toilet.

"… Ah?

You're talking about that child … I've found her. "

"Say, if I call her An Qiu Qiu … will she be happy, hehe?"

Just as Prunus carefully picked up Ryuta and placed her on top of the toilet, a laughing female voice suddenly came from the side of the toilet.

Prunus's expression froze. Was Qiu An Qiu talking about An Qiu?

Because she heard the name of an acquaintance, Prunus couldn't help but prick up her ears to eavesdrop.

"Although I still need to investigate her personality in detail, I feel that she can teleport … I went to take a look just now. Hehehe, she's sitting together with her classmates in a friendly manner. She looks like a quiet child, but I also like that type of girl very much —"

The female voice was a little hoarse. Prunus paused for a moment. It sounded like she was talking about An Qiu … After all, An Qiu's performance yesterday was very good, and her personality was very rare. It was almost certain that someone would like her ability. Speaking of which, it was time to think about being named after the Sports Festival … With her performance yesterday, would anyone be interested in her T _ T …

The sound of flushing came from the toilet, followed by the rustling of clothes and the almost inaudible rustling of people. Considering the person's tone and the rustling of voices … she should be talking on the phone. Was she planning to name An Qiu later?

"… Be careful?

Don't worry ~ I'm so friendly, she'll definitely want to be friends with me, right? Hehe, there are many cute children, I like all of them. "

The girl on the other side of the phone laughed happily. After using the toilet, she continued chatting as she walked to the faucet. The sound of the water gradually drowned out her voice. "If she joins us, Mr. Black Fog will definitely have an easier time, hehe …"

Prunus, who was busy tucking the Draco's pants, could not eavesdrop. After taking care of the Draco, Prunus still had to take care of her sister's Draco. She was still looking forward to going back to watch the War of the Titans between Hong and Explode.

The urge to pee that she had endured for a long time was finally released. The dragon girl looked at Bai Jian a little bashfully, and then carefully tugged at her clothes, "Sister Bai Jian … I still don't know how to wipe my own butt."

"… I'll wipe it for you!

Don't worry. "

Prunus replied quickly. She was just taking care of the children. Prunus had no objection to this kind of thing. She smiled and promised the Draco sister and patted her head. Unexpectedly, just as she finished speaking, there was a sudden loud noise outside the toilet, which startled her.

The female voice on the phone suddenly stopped. Prunus did not know what she was talking about because she did not listen carefully. But it seemed that she was interrupted by the Draco's voice. Prunus casually glanced at the gap of the toilet door. At this moment, she felt a sudden surge of murderous intent in the space!

Murderous intent …?

Prunus shuddered and subconsciously hugged the Draco who was in the toilet. Her mind raced. Why would there be a murderous intent?

Or did she misunderstand?

But no matter what, the "temper" of the people outside should not be good.

Prunus looked at the door in front of her vigilantly and hugged the children behind her.

Then, there was a slow sound of footsteps again. The leather shoes collided with the marble floor, making rhythmic footsteps. It clearly showed that the female was getting closer and closer to the toilet where Prunus and the children were.

"… Sister, I'm fine."

The Draco sister, who did not understand what was going on, reached out and hugged Prunus' neck, but found that at this moment, Prunus did not answer her question with a smile as usual. Instead, she stared at the gap of the door that was only a few centimeters wide with a pair of red eyes.

And Mrs. Ryuko seemed to have felt something, so she immediately covered her sister's mouth.

The footsteps outside stopped. The pair of leather shoes stopped in front of their toilet door and did not leave.

And Prunus did not dare to go outside with the children.

— The atmosphere was tense.

…

Prunus's little heart was pounding, and just as she stood up with the children, she heard the sound of something hard falling on the ground. It was a tablet smartphone, and it just happened to fall between the gap of the door.

Was it intentional?

Or did her hand slip?

Prunus's heart was beating faster and faster. She was very vigilant and put the two children behind her, and then put her hands in front of her and made a defensive gesture.

"Oh, oh, I'm so careless. I can't believe I dropped the phone in this place …" The girl who had been talking on the phone suddenly spoke outside the door. Then, Prunus saw the girl slowly squat down, and a pair of white and slender fingertips covered the phone, but for some reason, she stopped, "Taking the two children to the toilet?

It's not easy.

You're a good child — "

Prunus's heart tightened. How did she know?

It was only the Draco who spoke from the beginning, and … Did she see it from the reflection of the phone screen?

Why did she do this deliberately?

This person is so strange!

Prunus frowned and carefully stretched out her right hand. There were already a few pieces of clay in her hand, ready to shoot.

"Hehe, I just picked up the phone. I hope you don't have to be so vigilant —"

The unknown girl seemed a little hesitant. After a while, she finally chose to pick up the phone. Then, she skipped out of the toilet. Before she left, she even said in a serious tone, "Aiya, which child should I 'pick'?

No matter who it is, I want them to join my firm — "

Her voice gradually disappeared in the corridor, and the "murderous intent" disappeared without a trace.

Prunus stretched out her hand and sent out a small clay bird for reconnaissance. The little bird carefully checked the situation outside the toilet, and then returned to Prunus's hand. After confirming that it was "safe" outside, she took the two children out, "… Sorry, I did something strange just now."

She must have scared them by suddenly hiding the two children.

"What's wrong, sister?" The Draco hugged Prunus's neck and followed her to the faucet.

"Yes — I don't know either." Prunus carefully rubbed the Draco's little hand with soap.

"The sister outside just now looked so scary."

The Draco had been silent just now, but for some reason, the child's intuition told her that something was wrong.

"You can't casually comment on others."

Prunus put a stiff smile on her face and corrected the Draco, "The people here today are all family members who support Xiong Ying or professional heroes who are looking for successors. It's just that everyone's personality is different —"

— That was what she said.

When she went back, she would definitely ask An Qiu to reject the "female" who invited her.

…
