Chapter 170 – Sakurajima Maintains the Balance of Love

“Alright, don’t stand so high, come down.” Aoi Natsuki waved at Ayano, this was after all in Sakurajima’s house, no matter how close they were, they shouldn’t be so messy.

“Yes~” Ayano obediently leapt down from the backrest, the manga issue still firmly in her hands, and spun her whole body in place on the carpet.

“Ayano is always so energetic ……” Hayakawa said as he looked at her.

“Yeah, Ayano, stop spinning and sit down, I haven’t read the second issue yet, bring it over so I can read it.” Aoi Natsuki’s words made Ayano stop spinning, looking at him and nodding blankly, she took small steps forward, knelt down and sat next to him, handing him the manga issue in her hand with a serious face.

“There’s no need to be so serious ……” Aoi Natsuki spat out in a small voice, then checking the catalog to find the part of the Fighting Card Trio Nymphets that Ayano had drawn, the two girls to her left and right following suit leaning in, and Sakurajima, who stood not too far away, seeing this, came up with interest, placing the milk carton on the coffee table, came around behind Aoi and silently crouched down as well.

It’s a little bit closer ……

Aoi Natsuki just felt like she was in a small room at the moment, unable to stretch her body even slightly.

Hey, it’s just going to have to look that way.

He dropped his gaze to the manga issue, a few people slowly reading each one, Ayano on his right side tense as hell, fists clenched tightly, and a gust of hot air spewing from his nostrils every now and then.

The content of the manga is still very interesting, about three junior high school girls in the campus to play some sand sculpture game daily, stupid with natural nerd with the dark trio of settings, no matter how many times it is never tired of reading, the four of them read the process of often smile, meet do not understand, as long as to give a look to Ayano, the excitement of the she will immediately give an explanation.

Soon after reading all about her issue, Aoi Natsuki felt that it was instead even better than the first issue.

After giving an affirmative answer, Ayano’s tense expression gradually relaxed and her mouth slowly opened wide, “Too good!”

Natsuki Arai was happy for her about that.

“Do you have to draw this many pages every subsequent week?” Sakurajima Apricot behind Aoi inquired.

“Well, there will be a limit to the number of pages required in each issue, and this one will be eighteen, and more often than not, twenty-four.”

“Busy?”

“It’s fine for now, but when it gets too busy, we’ll hire two more assistants to help out.” Ayano said as she crossed her arms over her chest.

“Eh! Wouldn’t that be like those famous cartoonists! With several assistants under their belt.” Hayakawa said in surprise.

“Hmph, that’s right, since we’re starting a long serialization, my paychecks will come one after another, Hayakawa, our good times are finally coming! Tonight, it’ll be my treat for everyone, a barbecue!”

“Can we dabble in another dinner? Great.” Aoi Natsuki said jokingly.

Sakurajima Apricot, who was behind him, suddenly rested her jaw on his shoulder at that moment and asked slowly, “Why don’t we just make a date for a weekend and go to the beach together?”

“The beach?” Hayakawa murmured.

Speaking of which, a few people’s minds began to conjure up images of the blue, sunny beaches that looked past the turquoise sea, and it seemed like a relatively good choice.

The weather is getting sweltering day by day, and the Sakurajima offer is really something to look into.

“Ayano, do you think you can regulate the time?” Aoi Natsuki was more worried about that.

“OK~ It’s no problem at all~” said Ayano confidently.

“Well, then we can make a date, wait until June, let’s find a time during June to go to the beach together, and how about a seafood barbecue in the evening?”

“Aye!” Hayakawa’s eyes glowed and he nodded heavily.

“I’m in favor of that as well.” Sakurajima looked at him with a light smile on his face, then raised his right hand.

“Just how should we go about it …… chartering a car?” Ayano asked the key question.

“Hmmm ……” Aoi Natsuki was also lost in thought on this question.

……

June.

Familiar summer is once again coming, some of the popsicle stores that have not been much progress at this time also opened their doors for business one after another, the original 100 yuan at the entrance of the snack store’s signage wording has been printed on a popsicle for sale of A4 paper covered with sunlight, even the sparrows are more willing to hide in the cool area to rest.

A small car is traveling from Tokyo to Shizuoka, just off the highway, and the vehicle drives smoothly down the avenue.

“I’m sorry, I’m still asking you to make a special trip to drive us.” Aoi Natsuki, who was sitting in the passenger seat, thanked towards Ryusakura who was driving the car, after discussing before, she finally chose to contact Ryusakura, and after determining the time, the group of people went to Shizuoka Atami Sunshine Beach together.

“All right, we all go together to be happy.” Long Cherry mouth faint smile, today’s she dressed very sexy, Aoi Natsuki or the first time to see her wear navel dress, that clearly visible vest line, the lower body of the denim short skirt, straight long legs so that he can not help but look more than one glance.

It’s not lustful. Let’s just say it’s male instinct.

“It’s so nice, the beach, sunbathing, and you can row a dinghy, I haven’t been to the beach since middle school.” Ayano in the backseat gently leaned against Sakurajima’s shoulder in the center, her little nose constantly rubbing and rubbing, while Sakurajima didn’t say anything, just sitting quietly, she seemed extra quiet today.

Hayakawa on the right side looked out the window of the car, after leaving Tokyo, all of a sudden felt the environment and atmosphere changed, until the vehicle drove on a bridge, finally, everyone in the car saw that piece of the sea, they were about to arrive at their destination, Hayakawa’s knees sitting on the Lina is also the same extraordinarily excited, hands grasped on the window, two big watery eyes looking straight outside.

“Sakurajima, you didn’t bring a bag?” Aoi Natsuki looked at Sakurajima through the rearview mirror, looking at her empty hands, while on the contrary, the rest of the few people, all of them were carrying a large bag, even Rina, when she woke up early today, Aoi helped her pack out quite a lot of things to take with her.

“I only brought a change of clothes, the rest, buy it all locally.”

Uh, damn rich people.

“Oh.” Aoi Natsuki responded lightly, his eyes once again looking ahead, but after a few seconds, he still couldn’t help but look at the rearview mirror, only to see Sakurajima in the rearview mirror looking straight at himself, and after the four eyes met, he narrowed his eyes and pursed his lips at himself.

He immediately averted his eyes.

This guy couldn’t have been staring at himself the whole way ……

……

“We’ll go rent swimsuits first then, Natsuki, why don’t you go get some juice first?”

“Well, that’s what I was thinking, it’s all going to be ice, right?”

“I’ll have it chilled.” Ayano turned her head to the others, and one by one they nodded, and then said, “All chilled then, please~ Natsuki.”

Ayano clasped her hands together mischievously, then pulled on Rina next to her, and the group headed for the nearby rental office.

At the rental office, in addition to swimsuits, there are all kinds of swimming equipment as well as supplies for sale, and eventually a few people simply buy a bottle of sunscreen as well as two lounge chairs, a volleyball, and the other heavy part is the swimsuit part.

In the changing room.

Hayakawa Keiko picked a light blue normal style swimsuit, looking at the mirror in front of her, looking at her own somewhat too exposed skin, a time when her face red, before she was in the countryside when the sea is to see quite a lot, but has never been seriously through a swimsuit, really wear body, she realized that it is actually a thing so shy.

She reached out and pinched the flesh under her left arm, as well as completely forgot to wear a bathing suit before she came to this matter, even, did not even go to do a waxing …… belly is relatively flat, but with it is also flat there is also her breasts, in addition to her legs are not long, before relying on the dress to cover up the defects, but now change into a bathing suit, she all of a sudden became particularly unconfident.

“Ah ……” she let out a low sound from her mouth, the shine in her eyes became very dull, when she meets Natsuki later, she looks like this …… surely, she won’t be liked, right? Hayakawa! How could you forget to ask for such an important thing! Stupid fool!

While she was inwardly overwhelmed with remorse, a knock suddenly sounded outside the door, and she woke up with a start, covering her chest with her hands self-consciously, and said timidly, “Sorry, I’ll be ready soon …… Please wait a little longer.”

“It’s me, Sakurajima.” Sakurajima’s apricot voice rang out from the door.

“Um…… is there no changing room? Could you please wait a little longer for me? I’ll be quick.” Hayakawa, a little flustered, began to work on organizing his own clothes that were hanging on the wall, thinking that he would just find an excuse to go straight back to the hotel and skip the beach himself.

“No, it’s just that seeing as you stayed in there for so long, I assume you’re having some kind of problem?”

“Nope! There’s no problem!” Hayakawa packed his things more quickly.

“Are you running away?”

Sakurajima Apricot suddenly asked a strange question, but the words were particularly harsh to Hayakawa’s ears.

She stopped moving and looked somewhat woodenly at the door to the changing room.

“……” She made no reply, just covered her upper body with her clothing and bit her lower lip gently.

“Hayakawa, you know what? Your biggest problem is that you think too much and do too little, because you’re afraid of making mistakes, so many things you want to do, but don’t dare to do, but you’ve overlooked one thing, Aoi Natsuki is a very simple person, treating a simple person and thinking too complicated, in the end, the one who’s troubled is only yourself.”

“Simple?”

“Well, it’s a bit much to say it’s stupid and a bit overdone, you tease him a little and he’s all over you.” Sakurajima outside the door let out a crisp laugh.

“That’s only for you Sakurajima ……”

“Yes, but Hayakawa you have the same charms of your own, so instead of you thinking about something messed up, you should recall the reason why Aoi was attracted to you in the first place.”

When Sakurajima talked about this, Hayakawa’s memory went back a little bit to the first time she met Natsuki, everything all the time, from the initial situation where she had to find a topic to talk about or else it would be awkward, to now even if she was just talking about a boring thing, she still enjoyed it, and she could feel that her feelings with Natsuki were getting better and better with each passing day, and it was because of that that she had always wanted to present the best side to him, until now , faced with her weaknesses, that’s why she showed even stronger emotions of timidity than she did at first.

“Hayakawa, while you’re envious of others, they’re equally envious of you, you know?”

“Envy me?” Hayakawa was surprised to hear.

“Well, very envious, very envious, so …… don’t let me belittle you oh, Hayakawa.” Sakurajima’s tone is very flat, but Hayakawa seems to hear something from it, tightly clutching the clothes of the hands gradually loosened, yes, although Natsuki surrounded by so many friends of the opposite sex, but the relationship is not the best is not their own well, obviously their own is the most ordinary one ……

“Ordinary and ordinary are a perfect match!”

Her brother Koizumi’s words suddenly rang in her head.

Her eyes trembled violently, then she pursed her lips tightly, and after a while, she said in a very thin voice towards the door, “Sakurajima …… you, can you come in, come in and help me refer to the swim, swimsuit …… “

She finally resolved to take this step.

Whether it’s a strength or a weakness, this is the truest and most authentic version of her.

Outside the door, Sakurajima, who was leaning against the doorway, heard this and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, “Of course, but before that, you need to tell me a little bit about your circumference ……”

……

Aoi Natsuki has been waiting for a long time, but think about it after all is to choose a swimsuit, are hoping to choose the best one, a long time is also normal, and he also has been suddenly flashed in his mind a few girls wearing swimsuits, although it is sitting under the umbrella, but he still feel his face hot, worried about over will be seen, and hastily fanned his face with his hand, and then his eyesight to the side of the tray of a few cups of chilled juice, looking at the blue blueberry The blue blueberry juice was dripping down the walls of the cups, and for a moment he began to conjure up images of a few girls lying on their sides drinking the juice.

Ahhhhh! Crazy, one must be crazy.

Natsuki Arai shook her head, trying not to think about it.

Waiting another five minutes, finally a familiar voice rang in his ears and he prepared himself mentally, slowly glancing his head over.

But even though he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by the image of a few girls in bathing suits in front of him.

Long Cherry chose pure black, waves of the bust, coiled up hair to show the femininity of the square scarf to cover the hips, along with also a swing, a meter eighty-two big and tall people walk over just like a model.

Ayano and Sakurajima chose one red and one purple, excellent face attracted the attention of many tourists around, surprise sounds, the most ingenious is the small underwear side there is a small strap, no fancy style directly reveal Ayano’s innocence and cute.

Lena changed into a full wrap around children’s bathing suit, holding a writing pad in her right hand and bouncing around in her bare feet, then aside ……

Natsuki Arai noticed Hayakawa.

For a moment he was a bit lost in thought, somehow he felt that Hayakawa was a bit shy, although he was already trying his best to hide it, he could still see it, but he wasn’t saying that it was bad, on the contrary it was very much poking at his heart, it was just the simplest of white styles, but paired with her slightly nervous demeanor, Aoi Natsuki felt that it was simply beautiful.

The group walked up to him, Ayano and Sakurajima nimbly starting to lay out the recliners, Aoi froze, then immediately handed juice to a couple of the girls.

“Thanks.” Keiko Hayakawa took the juice, and immediately followed by immediately picking up, “How, how was it?”

Natsuki Aoi looked at her, her cheeks blushing slightly, then nodded and said, “Very nice.”

“Oh? Not good looking, but very good looking?” Sakurajima teased with a smile on his juice glass.

When those words came out, Hayakawa and Aoi Natsuki’s faces turned red in unison.
