Chapter 340 A Leisurely Picnic
Chapter 340 A Leisurely Picnic
Uchiha Ryo and the boys each picked up the edge of a picnic mat, preparing to use this relatively flat streamside as their temporary resting place for the afternoon.
As the three of them spread their picnic blanket on the grass, Shirogane Miyuki quickly picked up a stone and placed it in a corner.
"Xiaohua, Liumei, be careful."
Standing up, Uchiha Ryo saw Shirasaki Hana and Tsurumi Rumi wading in the water in sandals.
"No problem, Brother Ling. The stream here is shallow and the current is not fast."
Xiaohua and Rumi ran and played on the stream, but Uchiha Ling still stood on the bank, worried.
"Don't run so fast, watch out for the rocks at the bottom, and don't go into the deep water downstream."
Sitting on the blanket, Shirogane Miyuki chuckled. "Uchiha, you really treat it like you're raising two little sisters... I'm so envious."
"Don't you have a younger sister too? Be careful, Xiao Gui might hear you and come beat you up."
Miyuki Shirogane sighed. "Just like you said, my sister is a complete rebellious teenager. She's completely disobedient and doesn't respect her brother at all."
Looking in the direction of Shirasaki Hana and Tsurumi Rumi, he thought, "It's better to have a younger sister like this. The smaller the age gap, the less respect the younger sister will have for me, her hardworking older brother."
Yu Ishigami coughed lightly. "Shirogane-senpai is quite outstanding, and she's very famous in the middle school..."
"So what if she's famous? At home, she still acts all high and mighty, like nobody cares about her. If I say a few words to her, she gets annoyed. Compared to her, Xiaohua is really well-behaved."
Shirogane Miyuki got angrier and angrier as he spoke, then noticed that Ishigami Yu's expression was somewhat unnatural.
"Ishigami, what's wrong? Is there something behind me?! Could it be some wild animal from the mountain coming down?"
Shirogane Miyuki turned his head sharply and, as expected, was so frightened that he half-fell to the ground. He saw Shirogane Kei holding a fruit basket, looking at his brother with icy eyes as if he were trash.
"Little...Little Gui, you're here. Um, I..."
"Don't talk to me! You're trash, a lolicon, go to hell!"
He placed the fruit basket on the ground, then moved it towards Ishigami Yu, and picked up an apple before walking towards the stream.
"Brother Ling, would you like an apple?"
"Oh, thank you."
Shirogane Miyuki was visibly downcast, but Ishigami Yu couldn't say anything and could only consciously step aside.
As Shirogane Kei was the first to return, the other girls responsible for fetching food also arrived at the stream one after another. Hiratsuka Shizuka even somehow managed to get a professional fishing outfit.
Upon seeing this highly professional outfit, Ishigami Yu couldn't help but exclaim, "Air Force Commander!"
"If you keep insulting me, I absolutely will not back down!"
Hiratsuka Shizuka directly made intimate contact between her fist and Ishigami Yu's abdomen, then cast the rod downstream into the deep water.
So, Uchiha Ryo, who was biting into an apple, turned around and saw a few boys, one of them huddled in a corner with his head down, giving up on himself, and the other lying on the ground with his stomach in his hands, curled up.
"You guys are really something... By the way, does Yanyun want some grilled fish?"
"Meow—(nods)"
"Oh, then go into the water and catch them yourself, catch a lot."
Yanyunjiang: "....."
Ignoring the two, Uchiha Ryo stretched his arms and listened to the babbling of the stream. In the distance, the cool autumn breeze rustled the maple leaves.
If you come in the summer, it's a great place to escape the heat, and having a barbecue here in the evening is also a good option.
At this moment, Hayasaka Ai and Fujiwara Chika, dressed in their fishing gear, rushed into the stream.
Kaguya Shinomiya chuckled and shook her head. One was a close attendant like a sister, and the other was her best friend from school. She truly envied their carefree nature.
"Aren't you guys going to play?"
Uchiha Ryo turned to look at the person still on the blanket, only to see that Yukinoshita had even taken a book out of her bag.
"Coming here to read books...that's really something."
Yukino remained there, thinking, "Isn't this the perfect time to read?"
Is that so? Chitanda took her camera and went to take pictures of the people catching fish and playing in the water. Amakusa Shino was also cheering them on from the stream. Kei was watching Hana and the others to make sure they didn't accidentally wander into the deep water.
Currently, the only ones still on the picnic mat are probably the two quiet young ladies, Kaguya Shinomiya and Yukino Yukinoshita.
Even Yu Ishigami went to get a fishing gear and went fishing downstream, while Miyuki Shirogane.....
"Where did you get that telescope, kid?"
Uchiha Ryo looked at Shirogane Miyuki in surprise, only to see him carefully holding a telescope and placing it aside.
"I found this when I went with Yu Ishigami to the warehouse to get my fishing gear, so I borrowed it from Chitanda. It's so nice; there's no city air pollution here, the starry sky at night must be beautiful!"
Miyuki Shirogane is a huge astronomy enthusiast, but it's difficult to observe stars at night in a big city like Tokyo, and he can't afford a professional telescope at home.
To find it here today is truly incredible luck! It would be even better if it were the 15th of the lunar month, but unfortunately it's not a full moon. However, looking at other star systems is still a good option.
Uchiha Ryo could sense Shirogane Miyuki's excitement; he had heard that Shirogane Miyuki's childhood dream was to become a PhD in astronomy.
"While I can roughly understand your passion for astronomy... it's only 1 PM! Are you going to wait here until evening?!"
The student council president of Shuchiin! The incredibly intelligent Miyuki Shirogane was stumped by a single question... Oh no, he'd completely forgotten the time! He was so excited to see the telescope that he'd lost track of time.
Uchiha Ryo sighed. "You can be such an idiot sometimes... Should we put it back?"
Shirogane Miyuki slumped to the ground again, dejected. "Oh well, since I've moved here, I guess I'll just have to wait..."
Kaguya Shinomiya looked up. "If we're looking at stars, aren't they in the sky?"
"Theoretically, there are stars both day and night, but it's too difficult to observe them during the day," Shirogane Miyuki waved his hand.
Kaguya Shinomiya blinked. "No, I meant this... the stars."
"Too...sun!!!"
You want me to look at the sun with a telescope? Vice President Shinomiya, are you trying to kill me? You absolutely want to kill me, don't you!
While it is true that you can observe the sun using a prominence telescope, this is only for normal night sky observation with a telescope!
Shirogane Miyuki coughed lightly. "Oh, never mind. By the way, how's lunch preparation going?"
Chitanda Eru, who had been running around, stopped. "Everything is ready except for the grilled fish. If you want grilled fish... go ask the fishing group and the fish-catching group."
Yu Ishigami came running from a distance, carrying a box. "There are so many fish downstream! I caught two. Actually, it's my first time fishing. I didn't expect it to be so much fun!"
Yu Ishigami, who has lived in the online world for many years, experienced the joy of outdoor activities for the first time.
Behind them, Hiratsuka Shizuka gritted her teeth and muttered to herself, "It's just the newbie protection period! It's just the newbie protection period! Damn it!!! Why am I the only one who hasn't caught a single fish?"
Where are the fish-catching team members?
Fujiwara Chika and Hayasaka Ai returned to the shore barefoot.
"We caught four! Kaguya-san, praise me!" Fujiwara Chika said, hands on her hips.
Hayasaka Ai wiped her hands with a handkerchief. "I caught three of them. Fujiwara-san, you just happened to pick up the one I knocked unconscious, didn't you?"
Shirogane Miyuki was helping Chitanda set up the fish grill when he suddenly spoke.
"So, Hayasaka caught three fish, Ishigami caught two, Fujiwara caught one, and Hiratsuka-sensei caught none, right?"
"Are you asking for a beating, kid?!"
Uchiha Ryo stood up. "I have five more here, enough for everyone, let's grill them together."
Fujiwara Chika exclaimed, "How did you catch me? I wasn't even in the water!!"
"I didn't catch it..."
As they were talking, a cat suddenly jumped out of the water, with a fish in its mouth.
"Great, now we have six."
