Chapter 333: 167. School Trip (16)_3

But being able to stay and keep company here is already a way for a guy to express his friendship.

"Dubian," Kunii Shuichi said as he walked over with a pillow, "get up."

Kunii Shuichi remained silent.

Dubian Che kicked him in the butt.

"What the hell?!" Kunii Shuichi said, annoyed.

"I’m taking you out to clear your head."

"I don’t want to go!" Kunii Shuichi covered his head with a blanket.

"If you don’t go, I’ll tell the entire school about how you like Ichiki and how you got rejected."

"Go ahead and say what you want!"

"Plus your favorite movie genre."

"You—!!!" Kunii Shuichi threw off the blanket and glared at Dubian Che.

This guy, Kunii Shuichi, had a thing for sister-brother types, the kissing kind.

"One Ichiki Aoi is no big deal," Dubian Che said, tossing the pillow aside nonchalantly, "but if people learn about your interests, you might not be able to get a girlfriend not just through high school but maybe even in college."

"Fine, I’ll go, okay?!" Kunii Shuichi exclaimed in resignation.

"Look at you, no ambition," Dubian Che laughed and chided, "It’s just a girlfriend. You attend Tokyo’s premier private high school, your academic performance is in the top three thousand nationwide, you’re athletically gifted, and you became a hitter at Koshien in your first year of high school. Are you still worried you won’t find a girlfriend?"

"Why did Ichiki turn me down?"

"She doesn’t like baseball?"

"Then what does she like?"

"American football?"

"Then I’ll join the football team next year." Kunii Shuichi picked up his school blazer, his face the picture of gloom as he put it on.

"Hold on, how should I know what Ichiki Aoi likes? Have some judgment of your own, will you?"

Once Kunii Shuichi had dressed, he stormed over to Saito Huijie and snatched the gaming console from his hands.

"What are you doing! I’ve been at it for twenty minutes, and I haven’t saved yet! Give it back!"

Kunii Shuichi let out a cruel, cold laugh and mercilessly turned off the device.

"I, I... Out of sympathy for your broken heart, I’m letting this slide today!"

After the commotion, the three of them left the dormitory and headed for the main gate.

On the way, Dubian Che said to Kunii Shuichi, "It’s not bad to fail once. If a person wants to be great, failure is a necessary part of the process."

Kunii Shuichi walked with his eyes on the ground, saying nothing.

Dubian Che didn’t care about his reaction and continued, "Even a great person like me wanted to just muddle along at one point. It was only after going through some hardships that most people couldn’t stand that I managed to leave behind a meaningless life and became someone who wanted to be great."

"What’s your idea of muddling along?" Saito Huijie asked.

"If an ordinary person’s standard of wealth is an annual income of ten or twenty million yen, then my idea of muddling along would be having at least a hundred million or two hundred million yen a year."

"That’s your idea of muddling along?" Kunii Shuichi said irritably.

"Can’t help it, the baseline is pretty high in my field. If others in my line of work found out I only earn a hundred million yen a year, they’d probably laugh their heads off."

"What do you do? Can you introduce me to it?" Saito Huijie asked, curious.

"A Tokyo hottie."

"That’s just a pretty boy," Kunii Shuichi said disdainfully.

"I... never mind, pretty boys are part of our business too," Dubian Che said, holding back.

When the three approached the door, they bumped into two unexpected people—Kiyono Lin and Ichiki Aoi.

Saito Huijie smirked slyly and elbowed Kunii Shuichi in the side.

Kunii Shuichi pushed him away forcefully.

Ichiki Aoi looked a bit awkward upon seeing the three of them.

Dubian Che walked up, "Where are you headed?"

"Mr. Ichiki wanted to check out this highly accurate fortune-teller," Kiyono Lin replied.

"Fortune-telling?" Dubian Che thought for a moment, "Can we join you? We didn’t have any plans for where to go, anyway."

"Dubian!" Kunii Shuichi hurried up and hissed at him in a low voice.

Dubian Che ignored him and said to Ichiki, "You don’t mind if we tag along, do you?"

"Ah, um," Ichiki Aoi responded a beat too late.

Thus, the five of them left East Mountain Villa together, heading for the fortune-teller’s.

The three guys lagged behind.

"Dubian, what are you doing?" Kunii Shuichi asked angrily in a low voice.

"Feeling awkward about failing the confession?"

"Isn’t that obvious?!"

"You’re classmates, you’ll see each other every day, and you might even end up in the same class in your second year. Rather than wait for future awkwardness, why not deal with the sadness and awkwardness from the failure all at once?"

"I..." Kunii Shuichi looked ahead at the back of Ichiki Aoi.

Dubian Che followed his gaze, glanced at Ichiki Aoi for a moment, then quickly shifted his eyes to Kiyono Lin.

"Don’t thank me," he patted Kunii Shuichi’s shoulder, "after all, as an Ultraman, it’s my mission to guide humanity forcefully."

"Stop trying to act cool! You’re clearly from the Card Face to Fight type!" Kunii Shuichi swatted Dubian Che’s hand away.

"No difference, no difference. We’re both allies of justice."
