Volume 13 Chapter 214-2 Kohina Yukari, I Thought You Were Stupid, But You Really Were Stupid
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
”Yes!”
Aqua and I hopped on the train and headed straight from Gifu City to Shiga Prefecture.
I could have taken it a bit slower, but Aqua has school tomorrow, right?
Besides, I couldn’t shake the feeling that the ‘Berry-Berry’ staff wouldn’t simply call it a day after reaching the finish line.
Knowing those guys, they’d likely demand more after we reached our destination.
”So, we made it to the finish line, but this isn’t the end, is it?”
”Yes!”
A grinning ‘Berry-Berry’ staff member appeared.
”Since you two have come this far, I’d love to see you give it your all… oh, and of course, if you can’t, that’s totally fine!”
”Got it. I’ll just do it. I will!”
Aqua and I explored Shiga Prefecture, snapping all sorts of photos.
But no matter what I tried to capture, achieving 100% was just out of reach.
[Tsukimachi Ayana: Kohina-senpai, show us your face! Face!]
[Shirogane Kanon: Both of you look so dead…]
[Kirika Kotono: At least try to look lively!]
Even if they said that, it’s not easy to suddenly take a good picture.
I swiped through the screen of my mobile device.
[Morikawa Kaede: Do it! Even if the net blows up, I’ll forgive you!!]
[Yukishiro Emily: Keith! Keith!]
Yes, yes, moving on.
I quickly moved my fingers, ignoring the silly comments from the two.
[Sayamu Inko: This is bad! The Tatejima team is going to win!! Are they even stronger than the Stayts team!?]
And Inko, you’ve got the wrong thread!!
Stop commenting randomly while watching the game!!
”Seriously, what do you expect me to shoot with this vast expanse of Lake Biwa in the frame no matter where I go?!”
”Hey, Kohina-senpai!? Can you cut out the harsh words all of a sudden?!”
Aqua stopped me, wrapping her arms around me as I stomped my foot in frustration.
”So, what are we supposed to do then? If we push it any further, it’s just not going to happen!”
”No, I’m not giving up just yet!!”
Aqua slapped his cheeks playfully to rally his spirit back up.
Well, I like your stubbornness, but this time you’ve really taken it too far.
Just like Kaede said, we need to at least film a kissing scene… Wait, you can’t be serious!?
”Are you really planning to kiss me!?”
”Yeah.”
Hey, wait a minute!
If you had that serious expression like usual, I’d be fine, but don’t come at me with that intense look!!
”But I don’t want to force it, so I’ll do my best to make Kohina-senpai want to kiss me.”
”Hmm, that sounds interesting. But how exactly are you going to do that? Just so you know, I’m not easy to handle.”
Aqua smirked and pointed at me.
What… what is it!?
Are you seriously about to declare war or something!?
As I braced myself, Aqua raised his chin and gestured for me to look back.
”Behind me? Who’s back there…”
The moment I turned to look, my eyes widened.
”Oh…”
I wonder if it’s been ten years since we last faced each other.
She looked a bit older than I remembered, but standing there was my mother.
”Hmm… so that’s how it is.”
I don’t know how he knows my mom, but this is really too much to handle.
I get now that my mom must have tried to be the head of the family to support us without parents, but as an adult, I know that water and oil never mix.
”I’ll accept defeat in this bet. I’ll kiss you, so let’s just head home already.”
”No, you can’t!”
Aqua grabbed my arm to stop me as I tried to leave.
”See, just as I said. This kid doesn’t want to look at my face.”
…I didn’t say it quite like that.
You don’t want to look at my face either, right?
After seeing our reactions, Aqua said something completely outrageous.
”If you two won’t talk it out… I’ll stop the water from Lake Biwa!”
””Whaaat!?””
Stopping the water from Lake Biwa?
What kind of nonsense are you spouting!?
Huh?
Wait, are you saying that means you’d stop the water flowing to Kyoto?
”W-Wait, what kind of crazy thing are you saying all of a sudden!?”
”T-that’s right! Y-You need to calm down a bit!!”
My mom and I raised our voices, but they were drowned out by the overwhelming cheers.
Hey, hey, what’s going on!?
The Shiga prefecture folks watching the filming around us all raised their clenched fists to the sky.
”We did it!!!!!!!!”
”Looks like the day has come when we can legally stop the waters of Lake Biwa.”
”Go for it, go for it, Aqua-sama!”
”If Aqua-sama orders it, we can really do it!”
”Taking the water of Lake Biwa hostage against the Kyoto folks, that’s just like Aqua-sama, you really get it.”
”Heh heh, seems like the time has finally come for our Shiga prefecture to seize the power of the Kansai region.”
”That’s why I’ve always said on the boards, we’re gonna stop the water of Lake Biwa!! See?”
Are these guys crazy or what!?
I looked at Aqua’s face with a serious expression.
”…You’re serious?”
”Yes.”
”…Just so you know, I won’t be responsible for whatever happens.”
”Even so, please think of this as for my sake and do it!!”
Sigh, can’t be helped, I guess.
Come to think of it, I still owe him a reward from the last marathon, so I can listen to him just this once.
My mom and I exchanged glances, sighed deeply, and reluctantly agreed to discuss it.
