Chapter 65: What Made Me Homeless?!

  Out of human instinct, at the moment when the stick flying over came, everyone who noticed it here turned their heads in the direction where the stick was coming from...

  "Huh? No way!" Haruhi Suzumiya reacted quickly, realizing something and swiftly turned her head to see that the flying stick was now empty. Was she being bullied by speed?

  "This is daylight robbery! " Ah Xū looked at his empty palm, how could this be, it's simply too outrageous, you dare to come again... if you dare to come again I'll protect the remaining one in my hand.

  "It seems we need to come up with a new plan for this afternoon." With her chin in hand, Haruhi Suzumiya thought to herself that even if she used the same method as this morning to catch the Nine-Tails, it was unlikely she would succeed, even if he was intentionally holding back.

  The best way is to change the strategy, can't just wait for him to take the initiative, that would be too sorry for his own identity as a team leader... How can a team leader say 'can't do it'?

  "What's with the new plan?" The nine-tailed beast, who had been listening in on their conversation with perked up ears, let out a yawn. So, what are you going to do about it? Hmm, how about just letting things slide for now?

  Alright, just when you're all exhausted and about to be completely defeated, I'll 'coincidentally' let you discover it yourselves.

  "Everyone, let's do our best! I know a place that has a real fireworks festival, if we catch him, we'll go there to celebrate!" With an excited shout, Haruhi Suzumiya brought some vitality to this sweltering noon.

  "Uh-oh! I've got a bad feeling about this... Seeing that sudden, unexplained surge of fighting spirit in Ah Xū and the others' eyes, it's like they've been buffed up with some kind of mysterious power boost. Maybe I should get out of here first?"

  As expected, everyone's reaction ability seemed to have increased by a large margin afterwards. Even the usually airheaded Iori could occasionally 'see the light' and almost caught a glimpse of Kuroba's nine lives. Hey, hey, this is basically cheating!

  Shaking his head, Jiǔ Mìng looked around at the environment and found himself in a passive situation under pressure. He was actually being slowly forced into a desperate situation by them!

  "Alright, anyway the time is almost up." After taking a glance at the sky, he found that his nine lives were really at an end and couldn't run anymore. He simply stood there waiting for their arrival, "Everyone, you've worked hard!"

  Insincere praise made Ah Xū's excitement at finally catching the enemy instantly evaporate... Having struggled for a whole day within this hundred-meter range to catch the other party, what was revealed in the end was just how incompetent he himself was?

  "What a pity that this thing can't go through walls." With a slight pat on the small camera in his hand, Kyouya handed it directly to Haruhi Suzumiya, "Here, a reward."

  "Nonsense, this was originally mine to begin with." Haruhi Suzumiya let out a long sigh, "Directly grabbed onto the clothes of the Nine Lives, haha! Finally caught you!"

  "...... Ah ~" The head slightly tilted to one side, Jiǔ Mìng looked at the ground beside him with a slanted gaze, okay, okay, seeing you all worked hard for a day, I won't say anything else.

  After transferring the video from the camera to Youxi's computer, several people gathered around the laptop to watch it. To be honest, there was nothing much to see. It was late at night and he flew high, so most of what was captured were dark tones. The only part that was really visible was when he was about to land, capturing a segment of the brightly lit city.

  Even so, it was enough to calm down Haruhi Suzumiya's heart.

  "How was it at that time?"

  Almost nine lives, Haruhi Suzumiya's elbow poked him and asked.

  "What else can I say? The wind is really strong." Jiu Ming replied with a shake of his head.

  "Didn't you get hurt?"

  "Isn't it too insincere to ask this question at this time?"

  "Shut up! I'll ask whenever I want. Do you have something to say or not? If you do, then... the captain will let you take a break."

  Jiǔ Mìng chuckled lightly and shook his head, "Well, I've been playing hide-and-seek with you all day. If something were to happen, it would have happened already. Why wait until now? Don't worry, that little 'height' won't be enough to kill me."

  Wow, really? You're actually concerned about someone? Although this concern seems... a bit late.

  I guess I wanted to ask this before but forgot?

  Noticing the strange gaze of Kuyou, Haruhi Suzumiya, who had been pretending to be carefree, suddenly revealed a gloomy expression. Her face enlarged in Kuyou's line of sight as she exclaimed, "You! Do you have any opinions to share with our chief commander!!?"

  "Of course not."

  "That's good." With a satisfied nod, Haruhi Suzumiya walked back and started commenting on the video shot by Mikuru Asahina, saying things like "the screen is too dark", "it's shaking too much", "you didn't capture the key points"... This was quite regrettable.

  In short, the final conclusion is that she is still quite satisfied?

  Is this supposed to be an honor for myself? Get out of here!

  With a wave of her hand, she went to watch the fireworks display and completely forgot about it. For Yuki Nagato, being treated like a kite was just an experience of flying. As for Haruhi Suzumiya, perhaps with some relief, that's all there was to it. Maybe it would stay in her memory for quite a while, or maybe it would be forgotten before long.

  As for Ah Xū and others, I guess the most intuitive memory is that today was particularly tiring!!

  Fireworks festival, each blooming firework is like a fleeting flower, but it's really beautiful when it blooms. The booming explosion sounds are a bit annoying, I'll try to find some silent ones next time and set them off myself in a quiet place.

  Surrounded by people, this time Haruhi Suzumiya acted like a normal beautiful girl, getting excited at the fireworks and cheering loudly.

  This is right, the nine lives nodded in agreement, normally it's quite popular, but when being arbitrary, it's simply oh my god! Can't go against her temper, otherwise this world will be ruined, and he'll also 'format' himself along with it.

  Normalcy is always short-lived, and before long Haruhi Suzumiya realized that her height made it somewhat difficult to see the panoramic view of the crowd, let alone Mikuru Asahina...

  Being petite is also not right!?!

  "Hey, Ninth Brother, you're strong, carry me?"

  It's not an excessive request or anything, but if I were to hold it up... Although there's no problem at all, Kyouya looked down at the hem of Haruhi Suzumiya's yukata and wondered if it was suitable.

  "Pervert!" Seeing Kyouko's downward gaze, Haruhi Suzumiya suddenly tiptoed and bumped her forehead against Kyouko's with great force.

  "How can you be so unreasonable? I was just trying to remind you out of kindness."

  "But you also have a peeping idea, right? It's better this way."

  A fist that can hold a person... Jiǔ Mìng looked at his own small fist, and thought to himself that Haruhi Suzumiya wasn't an acrobat, so she probably couldn't balance on it. As for opening up his palm, Jiǔ Mìng could indeed stand still without moving, but whether the person standing on it could remain upright was another matter altogether.

  Don't believe it? Don't believe me? Find a thick wooden stake stuck in the ground and try standing on it, not too thick, about the size of a bowl will do...

  With her own two hands, she would never agree to this. In her words, it's completely unfair to the ghost who serves as a pillar below, absolutely not okay!

  "Take your hand back." Looking at the arm beside her, Suzaku's Ryūko Matoi warned him.

  "Just don't hold my hand."

  "Absolutely not!" Haruhi Suzumiya naturally refused in one breath, her arms wrapped around Mikuru's now bent forward, of course she couldn't let go, or else she'd have to hug Mikuru's head instead?

  Feeling that he would be scolded by the people behind him, he shook his head and patted the shoulder of the petite girl beside him. He slightly lowered his height, and now both of his arms were occupied, carrying two girls. Although the onlookers behind Jiǔ Mìng (Nine Lives) were 'somewhat' dissatisfied, they didn't say anything...

  Kidding! The guy in front has been carrying two girls for almost 15 minutes and still looks like nothing's wrong. How many years of being single does it take to have this kind of energy...!?

  "A Xū..."

  Standing beside A Xū, the cute creature Rú Lù looked at Jiǔ Mìng with a hint of envy. There were too many people watching the fireworks, and from her height, she couldn't see the full view.

  "Uh..." Ah Xū wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, he couldn't be as carefree as Jiǔ Mìng, although it seemed like he was really enjoying himself with his senior sister, but... but... it was completely impossible!

  "Do you need my help?" Gu Quan Yishu smiled politely beside him, Ah Xū slightly gritted his teeth.

  "No! I'll carry you on my back, senior!"

  "Hey, what's with that lingering perverted face of yours? Did the good figure of that cute thing get you trapped and unable to extricate yourself?"

  After most of the people watching the fireworks had dispersed, Jiǔ Mìng hugged her arms and looked at ā Xū sitting on the lawn, asking.

  "Hurry up and apologize to Shi Jiu Lu Xue sister, she's not some cute thing..."

  "Is it?" Jiǔ Mìng suddenly smiled and didn't speak, making ā Xū's heart burn with anger.

  "And you! How dare you say that about me?"

  "Alas, I've always been calm. " She rolled her eyes and continued... Why did he choose to carry it on his back instead of using a shoulder pole at that time?

  "What are you two whispering about?" Haruhi Suzumiya looked at the schedule with many X's marked on it, "Tomorrow is fishing day, and at night we'll have a test of courage..."

  Is a test of courage necessary? The real ghost is standing right in front of you, who would dare to come and not recognize it?

  It can't be that a vengeful spirit like Sadako or Kayako appears, and even if it's true, they probably wouldn't dare to show up in front of Suzumiya Haruhi.

  To show one's head is to seek death.

  "It's getting late, so if nobody has anything else to say, let's disperse for now?" Haruhi Suzumiya shifted her gaze to Koyomi.

  "What? What am I doing?"

  "It seems like you're the only vagabond among all of us?"

  "What do you think is the reason why I'm homeless!?" Jiǔ Mìng's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but knock on her head, "You're the most troublesome one. This place isn't bad, I'll just sleep here for a night."

  Nine lives lay quietly in the grass, gazing up at the starry sky... Anyway, let's get rid of the people first!

  Play love strategy game again...
