"Good boy!"

Hayakawa Shiro singled out the praise, then glanced at Furuhashi, the meaning in his eyes quite obvious.

Look at your level of awareness, humph.

Fumino Furuhashi: "..."

"Oh well…"

……

"All students, please assemble here."

The middle-aged teacher, holding a megaphone, shouted at the students who were lazily gathering: "Two hours. You will be divided into groups and enter the jungle to reach your destination. Be careful, and we teachers will not help you if there is any danger."

"And what about you teachers?"

One student couldn't help but say...

"Our teachers are waiting for you at the starting point."

The middle-aged teacher said something, then walked to the side where several teachers were sitting and chatting.

Hayakawa: "..."

"What's going on with these teachers?"

Ogata Rizu said, "They're all so relaxed. Don't they care about the students' safety at all?"

"They probably don't care, because it's just an ordinary grove of trees..."

Hayakawa said indifferently, "Besides, there are side paths; no normal person would get lost here."

"That's it."

Ogata Rizu felt a little more at ease and said, "Then let's go."

"Well, let's go."

Hayakawa nodded, then looked at Fumino Furuhashi beside him, only to find that her pink earlobes were bright red and she was keeping her head down without saying a word. He asked in confusion, "Furuhashi, what's wrong?"

"Just now, Lu Yuan and the students from our Class A went in, and they all looked at me with very strange eyes!"

Fumino Furuhashi blushed and said dejectedly, "They're definitely going to misunderstand again."

"...Wasn't it already a misunderstanding?"

Hayakawa said expressionlessly, "You're still agonizing over this kind of thing? Why don't you just break up with him sometime?"

"Why did I suddenly get dumped for no reason? It's so embarrassing!"

Fumino Furuhashi said angrily, "When the time comes, Shikazon-san and the other students in Class A will definitely surround me to comfort me, and they might even come to cause trouble for you. I'm doing this for your sake."

Regarding the rumors of their relationship, Hayakawa's proposed solution was that since the video was already unchangeable and the rumors of their relationship were already rampant, they might as well confirm it and break up directly. This way, they could have a reasonable explanation for both the school and Ogata's father.

However, Fumino Furuhashi was unwilling. She didn't want to "break up" so easily, after all, in other people's eyes, this was her first love!

Her first love ended so casually, and no matter how good her acting was later, she probably couldn't fake a real breakup. She would definitely be seen as a frivolous woman!

NO!

"It's troublesome..."

Hayakawa Shiro shook his head: "Fine, whatever you want. Hurry up and go, get out there and start studying earlier."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards the door, with Ogata Riju quickly following behind.

Fumino Furuhashi stomped her foot in anger and followed after him.

……

The woods were not quiet; the students' voices could be faintly heard from everywhere, echoing in the deep, dense forest. In the eerie atmosphere, the sound of the wind rustling the leaves and the footsteps on the soft ground mingled together, creating a rustic elegance.

Hayakawa Shiro fell silent for a moment, realizing he had underestimated the test of courage.

From the outside, even in the dark, it looks like just an ordinary little grove of trees. But once you go inside, the view is completely different. Beside the towering tree trunks are dense bushes, and the emerald leaves swirl in the wind like raindrops, like a burst of green confetti. Above that are jagged branches that point outwards, and the wildly growing branches look like a giant bear pouncing on its prey, or a scarecrow standing in a field.

"Uh…"

Hayakawa Shiro suddenly understood why the school chose this place to hold the courage test; crossing this place at night did indeed require a bit of courage.

Just as he was responding in silence, Ogata Riju's calm voice suddenly came from beside him.

"Honestly, it's not scary at all."

The science-loving girl looked at everything in front of her and said calmly, "What a waste of time. Ghosts don't exist after all."

He really is a science genius, and so rational.

Hayakawa Shiro sighed for a moment, and was about to walk forward...

"Puyo~"

"Pfft?"

A strange sound suddenly appeared, startling Hayakawa Shiro, and then a soft, oppressive feeling came from her arm.

Chapter Thirty-Six: Catching a May

"Pfft?"

What's that sound?

Hayakawa frowned slightly, wondering what this strange sensation on his arm was.

Hayakawa silently turned his head to look to the side, only to see that Ogata Riju had somehow grabbed his arm and was quickly scanning her surroundings while calmly muttering things like "It's perfectly fine."

"..."

Hayakawa felt as if his arm was sinking into a ball of elastic cotton. He looked in that direction and his pupils contracted instantly.

O...Oppais Fruit One~

As expected of someone whose family owns a restaurant, their nutrition is definitely excessive...

dairy cow?

Hayakawa's expression changed slightly, then she looked at Ogata: "Ogata, why are you grabbing me?"

"Oh."

Rizu Ogata released her grip as if nothing had happened, and calmly said, "It was an accident."

Hayakawa didn't respond, turned around and continued walking along the path, but after a while, the soft, limp touch on her arm came back to her.

Hayakawa Shiro: "..."

She glanced in Ogata's direction, only to find that Ogata wasn't looking at her at all, but staring straight ahead, a faint blush clearly visible on the girl's delicate profile.

Faced with this situation, Hayakawa finally came to a conclusion.

This child... is afraid of ghosts.

"..."

Hayakawa sighed inwardly. Sure enough, not everyone could be as resilient and fearless as herself. Even though Ogata Rizu was very talented in some areas, overall she was still far inferior to Emperor Hayakawa and was just a lowly loli.

There's nothing I can do, you can hold my arm then, consider it a reward for your hard work in studying.

Hayakawa, looking smug, turned his head and came face to face with Fumino Furuhashi.

Fumino Furuhashi: O_O

The girl, with a calm expression, opened her empty eyes and stared straight at herself, especially at the arm that was being held. Dark energy was faintly emanating from her body, giving off an eerie aura.

Hayakawa: "..."

It seems there are ghosts in this world.

“Ogata,”

Hayakawa hesitated for a moment, then looked down at Ogata and asked, "What's wrong?"

"nothing,"

Rizu Ogata lowered her head and said casually, "I'm just having trouble calming down. Let's hurry back to our studies."

As she spoke, she tightened her grip on Hayakawa's arm, making the cotton-like sensation even more pronounced.

The ancient bridge's gaze became even more terrifying.

Why are you looking at me like that? It's not my fault that I was grabbed.

Hayakawa felt a little distressed and was about to say something when Fumino Furuhashi suddenly stepped forward and hugged Ogata's arm, saying fearfully, "Ah, Riju-chan, this jungle is so dark, it feels a little scary."

"Fumino..."

Ogata Rizu paused for a moment, then subconsciously released her grip on Hayakawa's arm and took Furuhashi's hand in return, saying, "I really can't do anything with you. Well then, I'll hold your hand so you won't be scared, right?"

"Thank you, Rizu-chan, you're so reliable."

Fumino Furuhashi thanked Didou, then gave Hayakawa a not-so-friendly smile.

"..."

Hayakawa paused for a moment, then said, "Let's get out of the jungle quickly."

As he spoke, he ignored the two women behind him and walked quickly toward the path. But for some reason, he felt a little empty inside. He missed the elastic pressure on his arm from earlier and felt a strange sense of loss. He even couldn't help but look in that direction and had the thought of being hugged again.

"This is…"

In an instant, Hayakawa's heart tightened.

What's wrong with me? How could I be swayed by breasts?

They're just a pair of boobs, nothing more.

Although it is very large.

Damn it... Is this the physiological impulse of humans as biological beings? As a male, I simply can't control my desire for the symbol of the opposite sex!

Hayakawa felt as if his heart was being gripped. At that moment, he felt the limitations of being human. The more he tried to control his desires, the harder it was to suppress them.

Damn it! How can someone with such an unwavering mind become an emperor? We must come up with a solution!

[Why don't you become a nun, or...]

"woo woo woo woo…"

As Hayakawa Shiro was lost in thought, he suddenly heard a strange roar coming from ahead. The sound was mournful and longing, like weeping and whispering at the same time. It was like a widow on the bow of a boat desperately searching for her husband in the lake, or like the wronged soul hanging from a crooked tree telling its story to passersby.

"Ahhhh!"

Ogata Riju was immediately terrified and rushed towards Hayakawa Shiro without hesitation, throwing herself into his arms and burying her head in her hands, too scared to look outside. Her whole body trembled uncontrollably with nervousness.

"Wh...what sound? What was that sound?!"

Fumino Furuhashi was also shocked and turned pale. She instantly hid behind Fuyu Hayakawa, her pretty face pale as she said, "Run, Hayakawa-san!"

Not only the two of them, but even Hayakawa felt a little scared. In the dead of night, in the shadowy depths of the forest, a voice that seemed to be calling out to souls suddenly came. Who wouldn't be afraid in such a scene?

"Calm down,"

Hayakawa blocked Fumino Furuhashi behind him, then used his other hand to block Ogata in front of him, looking at the shadow in front of him with a serious expression: "He must be a classmate."

"Absolutely not! How could a human make such a terrifying sound!"

Upon hearing this, Ogata Rizu excitedly retorted, her little head pressing against Hayakawa's chest like a squirrel trying to burrow back into a tree hole, as if she wanted to dive right in: "She's definitely a female ghost!"

"Don't say such scary things, Rizu!"

Fumino Furuhashi's face paled, and she said, as if blaming Ogata but also trying to console herself, "There are no ghosts in this world..."
