It was now Halloween.
Western festivals had become more and more popular in the Oriental world. In the end, they were even more popular than in the Western world. On this day, someone smiled mysteriously and didn't say anything when asked what she wanted to wear.
Kawasumi was asked to do something again on Halloween, so she was still busy. However, she wasn't afraid no matter how late she worked. She put down the last stack of documents, picked up her bag, and skipped down the hallway.
A black figure stood at the end of the hallway. Higashikaga Sōsuke stood by the wall and looked across the hallway in boredom. Chuan Cheng quietly walked over and counted silently in his heart. One, two, three.
She let out a loud cry.
As expected, the boy stumbled forward a few steps and screamed in fear. When he turned around and saw her smiling, his frightened expression turned helpless.
"Don't scare me like the others …" Higashikaga Sōsuke walked back and naturally held Kawasumi's hand.
"Why did you pack so late today? Next time, I won't wait for you." Higashikaga Sōsuke picked up her handbag with her other hand and slung it behind her back.
"Sorry, you don't have to do this after today. I'll cancel all of them in the future. Then, I can play with Sōsuke every day. "Kawasumi closed her eyes and shook her head while humming a little tune.
It was obvious that she was very happy. If it weren't for the fact that both of her hands were holding Higashikaga Sōsuke's right hand, Higashikaga Sōsuke would be even happier. After being together for a while, Kawasumi became more and more unrestrained. He was clearly a delinquent, but she wasn't afraid. Was he being too gentle … Higashikaga Sōsuke turned a blind eye and decided to let it go.
It was too strange for her to keep clinging to him.
"Are you going to become the second Yuhano … That's not a big deal at all."
"How is that possible? You don't look like her at all." Kawasumi retorted with a Sōsuke accent. The girl's voice was soft. It seemed that she had become like this after meeting Higashikaga Sōsuke. She was usually more polite and cold.
They began to ramble on about small problems. Simple daily matters could take up half a day. It was almost winter, and every gust of wind was extremely cold.
Kawasumi was worried that Higashikaga Sōsuke's thin vest would catch a cold. Crazy Diamond couldn't cure her. If she caught a cold, her heart would ache. In response, Higashikaga Sōsuke pointed at Tomoko Kawasumi's still smooth and exposed calves. How could he catch a cold so easily? No matter how she thought about it, it was more likely for girls to catch a cold. Wearing a dress on such a cold day was really difficult. Fortunately, he was a man.
"By the way, what will Sōsuke wear tomorrow? You can't not prepare anything, right? Auntie seems so excited. Etec and Kang Yi already told me what it is! "
"It's the police … Yeah, it's grandpa's uniform."
Her grandpa had already passed away. Kawasumi had heard that many people had died in the stand-in case. Sōsuke's grandpa had also died in that case … She didn't ask what exactly happened, but the smile on her face faded a little. Kawasumi looked at the sky.
"That's great. Sōsuke would look so cool in a police uniform. I suddenly feel like skipping to tomorrow!" she said loudly.
"Then tomorrow …"
"I'll come pick you up tomorrow. I'll give you a surprise then." Kawasumi winked at Sōsuke.
The next day, Kawasumi waved at Sōsuke as she was being escorted by the girls to get her makeup done.
In the afternoon, an unfamiliar young man appeared in front of Higashikaga Sōsuke's house. The young man was wearing a black high school uniform and was wrapped tightly from head to toe. He had his hands in his pockets and was talking to Tomoko Oriental.
He didn't look like someone to mess with, but he looked familiar, especially when he was smiling at Momoko. Momoko wasn't scared. Instead, she smiled happily and asked him to go out with her. He was shorter than Tomoko Oriental. Higashikaga Sōsuke believed that his mother would be able to handle him. But who was it that suddenly appeared?
"I'm still doing my hair!" Higashikaga Sōsuke waved the hairdryer in his hand. He had just finished showering and changed his clothes. His hair naturally hung down and blocked a lot of his vision.
He could faintly see the young man entering his house and walking towards him.
He had a head of short black hair, and his eyebrows were slightly raised. He looked at the young man with exquisite facial features, smoky makeup, and thick green eyeshadow under his eyelids. He had a decadent and sickly beauty. When the young man called out Sōsuke, Higashikaga Sōsuke knew that this was Kawasumi.
"This is the first time I've seen a Sōsuke with his hair down …" Kawasumi's eyes widened as she curiously played with his hair. She parted his hair with both hands to reveal Higashikaga Sōsuke's face.
"You look a lot like Kōjō -san. No wonder you're Kōjō -san's uncle!"
"Don't talk about seniority!! Ahhh, that's too scary. "It's all the old man's fault! Higashikaga Sōsuke didn't dare to actually run over and call Kōjō his nephew. Even if that was the case … He looked at the face that was getting closer and closer, and kissed him impolitely while thanking him for his hospitality.
Come to think of it, that was how his first kiss was taken away. He blushed for a long time after he couldn't use what he imagined, and Etec even laughed at him! Etec wouldn't even cry about being single anymore. They would even laugh at him. What a shame.
Her previous thoughts were thrown to the back of her mind in the blink of an eye. She began to seriously blow dry her hair, but she still felt that something was off.
The two of them said goodbye to Tomoko Oriental and went to school together.
"You even brought a camera today?!"
"Yes." Kawasumi pointed the camera at Higashikaga Sōsuke.
"Sōsuke -san, do you have anything you want to say to the camera?"
"I want to say what you brought it to see."
"I have to leave some memories, so I have to take this camera to film the scene … But I've already filmed the most precious thing today. Sōsuke, are you going to look for Kang Yi and Etec first? "
"Yeah, I don't know what they're dressed as. They won't say anything no matter how I ask, but I'm looking forward to it!"
After the two of them said goodbye to each other at the school gate, Kawasumi walked into the set with a sign in her hand. This was a charity event, so she was going to play rock-paper-scissors. If she lost, she would have to put in 100 yen, and the rest of the money would be donated to those in need.
Everyone knew that when it came to betting with Kawasumi, Kawasumi would never lose when it came to probability. But as long as she changed her makeup so that no one could tell that she was Kawasumi, it would be fine. The girls secretly prepared a neutral makeup for Kawasumi.
There was a sign on the side with the club's greetings, plus Kawasumi's current appearance, which was a popular style for pretty boys.
Soon, someone came in. Kawasumi maintained her aloof persona as she nodded expressionlessly at her junior. The junior clutched her chest and carefully sat down.
"Um, is this all right? If it's rock-paper-scissors …"
The junior looked at the boy in front of her with hesitation and anticipation.
"Yes! I'll shout one, two, three. Then you can all play together. "The girl from the club interrupted her enthusiastically.
The junior paused for a moment before nodding.
"One, two, three!"
The junior pulled out a pair of scissors, while Seiji's slender hand pulled out a rock.
The club won, so the junior left behind 100 yen and left.
People came in intermittently, and it was impossible to tell who they were. But when it came to characters, it was Mr. Zombie, Spirit-san, Hanzi-san, and so on.
"Wahhh, can I have your phone number!?"
"No, you can't."
"Then at least take a picture! Boy, I like your face! I won't harass you!! I swear. "What a straightforward statement. In the end, she left with a picture, satisfied.
Since Seiji hadn't gone easy so far, some people came to play rock-paper-scissors in high spirits.
