The sound of the bell signaling the end of class rang, and the classroom, which had already carried a considerable degree of sultry heat, was immediately occupied by noise.
"Finally——!"
Yanami pulled at her own collar, revealing her clean and exquisite collarbone, and while using a plastic pad to fan the air into her collar, she said happily: "Finally, it's almost summer vacation!"
"You don't need to be happy to this extent, right?"
Asakura said.
Because of the relationship with the Curse [Snake], he can to a certain extent lean closer to being a cold-blooded animal and will not be so easily affected by the heat wave.
"Additionally, this movement of yours is also a bit too unreserved."
"What other choice is there? After all, it hasn't reached the level where the air conditioning can be turned on. The classroom is both stuffy and hot, and a mere electric fan simply can't cool it down. Besides, if sweat comes out in the cleavage here, it will become sticky and very uncomfortable. Having big breasts really isn't a good thing at all..."
Yanami also knew her behavior was indeed not very ladylike, but she still grumbled somewhat aggrievedly: "I didn't directly stick my hand in to wipe it, I've already been quite patient."
"Don't say such things in front of Anna, okay?" Asakura warned.
"Which Anna?"
"Neither will do."
Whether it was Asagumo or Anna, hearing this kind of humblebrag from Yanami, they would probably be unable to resist having murderous intent.
To prevent Yanami's life from blooming on the rooftop, Asakura still tried his best to shift the topic: "Compared to that, are you looking forward to summer vacation?"
"Instead, shouldn't you say there are no students in this world who don't look forward to summer vacation?"
"That's true."
"And actually, I've always wanted to take advantage of the summer vacation to go to the seaside, then shout 'Nazda! Omura!' toward the sea, and then join a group of girls hand in hand jumping toward the sea like that."
"Mosh dance? So you fellow were originally from the Mosh club?"
Asakura, who had never seen a certain defeatist dog anime before traveling here, looked at Yanami's collar and muttered in his heart.
"It feels great! Such a youthful look!" Yuigahama Yui, who was passing by, heard Yanami say this and couldn't help but grab the other's hand with eyes shining: "Please by all means go with me! I'll drag Yukinon and the others... bring them along too!"
"Yuigahama! You can actually understand my sensibility! From now on, you are my partner!"
"Partner!"
The two beautiful girls were sticking to each other, and the surroundings seemed to have lilies in full bloom. Although it was very eye-pleasing, Asakura felt very unhappy about the habit of being the focus of attention.
"Although it feels like there are many places to complain about, before this, there are still the end-of-term academic proficiency tests." So he spoke up to interrupt.
"Takuma-tan, are you a demon! To actually mention that existence whose name cannot be spoken at this kind of time!"
"Asakura-kun is also too unromantic. You are no longer my partner, I'm going to release you!"
"Voldemort? Pokémon? Good grief, facing these two fellows who are playing dumb at the same time, I can't handle the complaints alone!"
"Takuma-tan, what arrangements do you have for summer vacation?"
Yuigahama Yui asked with eyes flashing.
Yanami didn't say anything, but similarly perked up her ears.
"Currently... oh, in early August I'm going with Ruri to participate in the Holy War." Asakura thought for a moment and said.
"Holy War?" Yuigahama Yui had a face full of confusion.
"It's Summer Comiket. Just treat it as a large-scale anime convention."
"Oh, an anime convention, right? That's the carnival where people who like animation gather together, I understand!" Yuigahama Yui immediately nodded vigorously: "Is there 'Face-Masked Superman'? I liked that anime very much when I was a child."
"Er... generally speaking, children-oriented animation won't have many booths in that kind of place." Asakura explained.
It wasn't that it was completely impossible, it was just that probably only those who had feelings for the Great King Mushroom would be interested in that kind of booth.
"Is that so, what a shame... I originally also wanted to see if there were 'Light-O-Pretty Girl' booths."
"That one should have some."
"Ahn, really? Isn't 'Light-O-Pretty Girl' also a children-oriented animation? Why does that one have it?"
"Yeah, why..."
Asakura shifted his gaze somewhat guiltily.
"All in all, Asakura-kun has almost nothing to do for summer vacation, right?"
Yanami forcefully inserted herself into the interaction between the two and confirmed with Asakura.
"Although it is indeed so currently, actually I somewhat want to do a nationwide urban legend pilgrimage."
Asakura said.
"Urban legend pilgrimage... what is that?" Yanami asked with a face of confusion.
"Look, traveling to places that appeared in animation is called a sacred site pilgrimage, right? Then if I go to explore places where urban legends occurred, isn't that an urban legend pilgrimage?"
While explaining, Asakura took out a scroll that looked like a poster from his bag.
"What is this?" Yuigahama Yui looked at that poster curiously.
"This is the most popular urban legends and the locations where they occurred that a kind-hearted person helped me collect recently——she even made it into a map format for me. It feels like if I don't use it, it would be too much of a waste of the other party's kindness, too impolite."
Asakura unfolded the poster to show the two, while replying: "So I plan to take advantage of the time during summer vacation to follow this map and go see it all the way."
"Ah, I've heard Ruri mention it!" Yuigahama Yui slapped her palm, suddenly enlightened: "It's that Banaji in her community offline meeting, right?"
"...People are called Saori, Banaji is a name made up based on animation. It feels like an old complaint is stuck in my throat..." Asakura corrected helplessly.
"If it's an urban legend pilgrimage, do you need people to go together and help?" Yuigahama Yui asked: "Although I can't be of much use, I'm still very useful at breaking the ice!"
Yanami on the side was also racking her brains trying to give a reasonable reason why she could also follow along for the trip.
But for her whose magic curse development was incomplete... or rather who hadn't developed a magic curse at all, she really couldn't think of a reason, and could only lie back on the table dejectedly.
"Thank you, Yuigahama, but no need. If it's a male like me, it's more convenient to do anything." Asakura shook his head and refused: "If there's anything I need, I will definitely ask you for help."
Actually, Asakura had at the beginning also considered finding someone to travel together with. The initial target was naturally Gokou Ruri, who besides himself was the only one in the current Magic Club who could be considered to have combat power.
However, considering the girl's family situation, it was obvious that Gokou Ruri could not leave her two younger sisters behind and follow him to run off on a trip, so in the end, Asakura still gave up and planned to embark on this journey alone.
It's just that now being told this by Yuigahama, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in Asakura's mind, and he had some new ideas again.
Perhaps at that time, he really could abduct a pink-haired one to go on a trip together...
