"Because I feel I might cause trouble for the other person?"
"It's alright." Fujita Maiko looked at her and smiled faintly: "Although there are still some unreliable guys among the club members, they are not bad people, so don't worry."
"I'll put in a word with them and have them guide you, don't worry."
“But…” Miyamoto Yumi hesitated for a moment after thinking about it.
Fujita Maiko placed her hands on Miyamoto Yumi's body, her eyes filled with absolute confidence: "Nothing will happen."
Yumi Miyamoto looked at her seriously, then slowly nodded.
……
On the beach under the cover of night, Fujita Maiko slowly walked towards a blonde woman and handed her a divided draw list.
"This is the list of girls in the club who drew lots. Miyamoto Yumi should be number six."
The blonde woman finally managed to take the list from her hand and then handed her a bank card, saying, "This contains the agreed-upon 10,000 yen."
"Can I ask you something?" Fujita Maiko took the bank card from the blonde woman, her mind filled with questions. "Why did you engage in such an unfair transaction?"
"Young lady, you've received the money. I advise you to go back obediently and not cause trouble for me, or don't blame me for being impolite..." the blonde woman said coldly.
Seeing the other person's ill-intentioned gaze, Fujita Maiko could only grab her things and hurriedly head into the hotel.
Seeing the other person leave, the blonde woman breathed a sigh of relief, finally managing to scare the little girl away.
I remembered that Hennessy had called her before. I thought Hennessy wanted me to help deal with some guy, but I never expected that she would ask me to help her pair up with someone other than Yumi Miyamoto.
I have no idea what Hennessy is up to.
He also said to prepare 10,000 yen in a bank card account and ask me to help him.
Upon hearing this, the blonde woman was somewhat puzzled, but she still followed Hennessy's instructions and accepted the mission.
The blonde woman snorted coldly, then took out her phone and made a call to Hennessy.
"Hennessy, I've done what you asked me to do. I'll send you the details via text message later."
"However, this will only happen once. I have other important tasks to complete afterward and may have to leave Japan for a while."
Yuki Takada answered the phone and chuckled softly, "Okay, thank you, Vermouth. The 500,000 yen you asked for will be transferred to your account soon via the system."
"However, what I don't understand is why you would do such a thing?" Vermouth mocked on the phone. "I don't know what you've done recently that could suddenly change the organization's boss's impression of you, to the point that I've intentionally infiltrated your circle and followed your orders. That's quite remarkable."
"Although I don't know what you're up to, I hope you keep in mind the mission the organization has assigned you."
Yuuki Takada smiled faintly: "Of course, you've worked hard this time too."
beep...
Then a busy signal came from the phone.
As the other end of the phone hung up, Yuuki Takada kept his eyes fixed on Vermouth's letter, and a satisfied smile immediately appeared on his face.
Chapter 127 The Test of Courage Begins
In short, everything will be done by drawing lots to form teams of two.
"Please proceed according to the current group assignments," Fujita Maiko instructed everyone at the assembly point.
Looking at Miyamoto Yumi beside him, Takada Yuki said calmly, "Nice to meet you."
"Please give me your guidance as well."
Sato Miwako was naturally paired with Fujita Maiko.
"Please take good care of me, Sato-senpai."
"Mm." Sato Miwako nodded and said softly, "Okay."
She had originally thought she would be grouped with Takada-senpai, but unexpectedly she was grouped with Fujita Maiko.
"No way..." Just then, a male college student next to him looked coldly at the burly man beside him and said, "My luck with this draw is really bad, it's actually him."
"Are you asking for a beating?" The burly man smiled at the male college student, his fists clenching involuntarily.
"..."
Suddenly, a murmur of discussion filled the entire assembly point.
Seeing this, Fujita Maiko immediately said to everyone, "Alright, I have placed the necessary items in four locations. Now, please proceed to your respective starting points."
After saying that, Fujita Maiko looked at Sato Miwako in front of her and said, "Sato-senpai, if I remember correctly, our starting point is on this other side."
"Let's go, Sato-senpai."
“Okay.” Sato Miwako responded softly, then followed Fujita Maiko.
Yuuki Takada, who was behind her, glanced at her briefly.
"Alright, Takada-senpai, let's hurry up and go." Miyamoto Yumi immediately shouted to Takada Yuuki, who was still standing there in a daze.
Yuki Takada then quickly followed.
……
"By the way, Sato-senpai, can I ask you a question?" Just as the two of them were walking through the woods, Fujita Maiko, who was beside them, thought of something and asked a question.
"Hmm?" Sato Miwako appeared rather calm and asked, "Maiko, just ask me whatever you want to know. If I know the answer, I will tell you."
"Sato-senpai, do you know a blonde woman?"
"A blonde woman? I don't know her." Upon hearing this question, Sato Miwako paused slightly, turning her head to look at Fujita Maiko with a hint of inquiry in her eyes: "Maiko, what kind of person are you referring to?"
Maiko Fujita tried hard to recall: "It's... somewhat similar to Sharon Vineyard, a foreign star who looks very mature and has a lot of class, with beautiful blonde hair."
"I think I saw her on the beach before I went back to the hotel to get the list. She seemed to be paying a lot of attention to our side. I thought she was someone you know, Sato-senpai."
Sato Miwako frowned, carefully searching her memory, then shook her head firmly: "No, I don't remember. But now that I think about it, maybe Takada-senpai would recognize him, after all, he's very knowledgeable."
Ah!
Just then, a slight movement came from the bushes, and Sato Miwako was startled: "Oh no, I want to go back."
Before she could react, Fujita Maiko, who was next to her, had already taken her hand: "Don't worry, Sato-senpai, this is all a scene we set up in advance, there won't be any great danger."
"Forget it, let's wait and walk hand in hand. That way I'll feel more at ease."
"Yes, thank you." Miwako Sato nodded.
Is this Maiko Fujita's hand?
I feel like my hands are a little different from the ones I had with Takada last time.
Takada-senpai's hands feel more...
However, it probably has nothing to do with Takada-senpai now.
Miwako Sato suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"What's wrong, Sato-senpai?" Fujita Maiko suddenly asked, looking at Sato Miwako in front of her.
"It's nothing," Sato Miwako immediately explained. "I just remembered something."
"Oh right, I'll make a call to see if any other groups have reached the finish line," said Miwako Sato, while taking out her phone from her pocket.
"Strange?" Sato Miwako was slightly taken aback. She searched for a long time but couldn't find her phone. "I think I've lost my phone."
On the other side, Yuki Takada and Yumi Miyamoto were walking along a path hidden by sparse trees.
Apart from the sound of their footsteps and the occasional cawing of crows, the surroundings were unusually quiet.
"Hey, Takada-senpai." Miyamoto Yumi followed closely behind Takada Yuuki, her voice trembling slightly. "Don't you...don't you think it's too quiet here? What if all those random things that Fujita Maiko and the others prepared suddenly jump out?"
Yuuki Takada walked steadily, his gaze calmly sweeping over the surroundings, his tone indifferent: "Since it's a test of courage, it's normal to have arrangements. Just stay vigilant."
"Besides, if you really found it difficult, you should have quit in the first place."
"You make it sound so easy..." Miyamoto Yumi muttered softly, her hands unconsciously gripping the hem of her clothes.
As soon as she finished speaking, a clump of dense bushes next to her suddenly shook violently, making a rustling sound, as if something was about to jump out from inside!
"ah--!!!"
Miyamoto Yumi let out a short, sharp scream, and almost instinctively lunged forward, grabbing Takada Yuki's arm tightly. She practically hung on his arm, her eyes tightly closed, her body trembling like a leaf in the wind.
Yuuki Takada was slightly taken aback by her sudden action. He stopped and looked at the clump of bushes.
A startled bird flapped its wings and flew out from inside, quickly disappearing into the woods.
“It’s a bird,” Takada Yuki stated, his tone still flat. He moved the arm that was being held tightly. “Miyamoto Yumi, I think you can let go now.”
Yumi Miyamoto, still shaken, opened one eye and, after confirming it really was just a bird, let out a long sigh of relief. Her face instantly turned bright red, and she quickly released her grip, stammering an explanation:
"I'm so sorry, Takada-senpai! I... I was just startled..."
"Hmm." Yuuki Takada responded noncommittally and continued walking forward, but slowed his pace slightly, as if to accommodate his easily frightened companion behind him.
The journey that followed was an agonizing ordeal for Yumi Miyamoto.
The sound of the wind rustling through the grass, the rustling of branches, and even her own shadow could make Yumi Miyamoto's heart pound with fear.
Later, Miyamoto Yumi clung tightly to Takada Yuuki, occasionally letting out a soft gasp at the slightest sound, or suddenly grabbing Takada's sleeve.
"Takada-senpai! Over there... there seems to be a figure over there!"
In reality, it was just a tree shadow and a blurry dummy placed by the Fujita Group.
"Ah! Is something moving on the ground...?"
It was actually just a vine that had been blown by the wind.
"A sound! Did you hear anything strange?"
Actually, it was the faint sound of screams from another group of people in the distance.
Yuuki Takada remained calm throughout, identifying the source of the terror and shattering her illusions with the simplest language.
His reaction was like buckets of cold water, extinguishing the will-o'-the-wisp that Miyamoto Yumi had imagined, but also making her more aware of her current predicament.
After Miyamoto Yumi was startled again by the cracking sound of a dry twig she stepped on, she complained almost in tears:
"I can't take it anymore! My heart is about to jump out of my chest! Just how many terrifying things did Fujita Maiko and the others set up?! This isn't a test of courage, it's torture!"
Yuki Takada stopped and looked back at Yumi Miyamoto, whose face was pale and eyes were slightly red. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said, "Stay close to me, don't look around, watch where you're going."
