Chapter Fifty-Nine Stop Dreaming

  "Scorching summer days, the sun never leaves any mercy." It was supposed to start in the evening, but it arrived here in the morning, and being exposed to the scorching sun is simply a merciless torture for people!

  Watching those people who are busy setting up the venue, although they seem to be working harder than me, but...

  "Is it interesting just by looking at it?"

  "Of course!"

  Kyon's eyes widened as he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, staring at Haruhi Suzumiya who had answered without thinking, truly 'oblivious' to the feelings of those around her.

  He glanced up at the scorching sun and then looked away, "Some people are about to roll their eyes."

  "Snap out of it! Ah Xū, what's with this expression like a dehydrated fish?!"

  "...I'm going to get heatstroke..."

  In the end everyone changed places, somewhere with air conditioning feels good - seeing others drinking iced drinks doesn't feel so great!

  How hateful it is that humans can eat and drink lavishly while I have to watch from the side and sniff the aroma.

  "Your gaze... hey, what kind of dangerous thoughts are you thinking!" Ah Xū raised his head and saw Jiǔ Mìng's rather piercing eyes.

  "Pitiful humans..."

  "What?!"

  "Why can you eat and drink freely, while I..."

  "Isn't it normal for ghosts to not be able to eat?"

  "How annoying! I want to eat too!!!"

  The guests here turned their heads and looked over here with strange eyes, wanting to eat ice is okay, no one stops you.

  "Only a little more and it'll be two o'clock, huh-huh, it's really cool here, let's just spend a pleasant afternoon right here." With a lazy tone, Haruhi Suzumiya had already decided on the plan for the rest of the day, and Koizumi let out a long sigh, finally relieved that he didn't have to continue brooding under the scorching sun.

  Here again?

  Upon arriving at the Obon Festival venue, Kujou suddenly felt a sense of familiarity, as if she could predict what would happen next. It was as if Haruhi Suzumiya would soon appear, dragging along that weak and timid Mikuru Asahina to play the goldfish scooping game.

  Then Haruhi Suzumiya excitedly dragged Mikuru Asahina to catch goldfish!!

  Damn it! When did I become so powerful? Jiǔ Mìng's eyes widened slightly, and he unnaturally knocked on his own head. Alright, since that's the case, then in the next moment, Gǔ Quán Yī Shù made an invitation to ā Xū to declare war on who can scoop up more goldfish, which is somewhat reasonable?

  But it seems like Ah Yu refused to accept the ending.

  "Are you changing your face here?" Ah Xū walked over and patted Jiǔ Mìng's shoulder, pulling him back from his distraction.

  "Are you going to catch goldfish too?"

  "Don't use this weird tone, I'm more interested in food, are you coming with us?"

  "...Do you want to die?" You keep poking at your own sore spots, you're simply fed up with living!!

  Humanity rushing towards its own destruction!

  He twitched his nose, and the various wafting food smells made Jiumeng's expression extremely painful. The atmosphere around him also cooled down. Ah Xū unnaturally shivered, "Uh... Haha, looks like we don't need to stay, let's go."

  Ah Xiao pulled Ku Quan's hand and ran in another direction.

  Crack!

  A Yu's expression stiffened as he stared at Jiu Ming's phone, which had just taken a photo of him. He suddenly realized how flirtatious his actions were and quickly shook off the hand that belonged to the same sex. "What did you take a picture of? Hurry up and delete it!!"

  "Slip of the hand, got an opinion?"

  "Of course..."

  "Can you beat me?" Jiǔ Mìng let out a light hum, asking lightly, and with a slight exertion of force from his foot, the ground suddenly gained a small piece of spider web-like cracks.

  "No objection, goodbye!"

  "There's something wrong..."

  She slightly raised the corner of her mouth and took a photo of Nagisa's dazed expression, quietly gazing at it.

  "What's on my face?"

  "Ah?!"

  Isn't this answer a bit unexpected? If I had to guess, the correct response should be something like 'What's up?' or 'What's wrong?' - that kind of very concise phrase.

  "I feel like there's something wrong with me today, have I gone crazy?"

  "?" Nagato's gaze swept over Kurenai's body several times, "You're very healthy."

  "Is that so? Maybe it's because I didn't sleep well last night." Shaking his head, it wasn't his problem, but the frequent occurrence of precognitive visions, and their accuracy, made him feel a bit silly. It was as if he was about to awaken some kind of extraordinary ability.

  So what's next?

  Nagato Yuki and Suzumiya Haruhi go goldfish scooping together?

  Forget it, seeing her take out a laptop from nowhere, Jiǔ Mìng admitted that he was itching to play, after all, it's just a dating game!!!

  Haruhi Suzumiya looked at the alien and ghost squeezed in front of a laptop, her expression unpleased. "Hey, we're supposed to be out having fun together, what are you two doing hiding here playing games?"

  "Huh? Places with lots of people really aren't my thing, sigh...". Jiǔ Mìng let out a breath, with an expression that said he had tried his best, "Can you imagine the suffering of having your cravings stirred up, being able to see and smell but not eat?"

  "Huh?" Blinking her eyes, Haruhi Suzumiya looked at Kyon with a puzzled expression while holding a small snack in her hand. She rolled up a small ball of food and popped it into her mouth, "Can't ghosts eat things or something?"

  Rubbing his temples, the nine-tailed fox said helplessly, "But I want to eat, I really want to eat. Every time I see you guys eating and drinking, I feel like my spirit is a bit abnormal. When did you get the illusion that ghosts don't want to eat?"

  It's strange to say that I'm also very weird, before this feeling could still be tolerated, now, I feel all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred filling my heart, as if some nerve has suddenly gone wrong, guaranteeing a strong urge to go on a big killing spree.

  When did self-control become so poor?

  "You'd better go see a psychiatrist... Want some food? I can let you have one."

  Jiǔ Mìng shook his head weakly and opened his mouth to say, "Don't bother me, if I could eat, would I still be polite with you? What's the point?"

  "Well, let's give it a try then! I'm quite interested in this ghost eating thing!"

  "You think you're so clever... Don't think I won't hit a woman!!"

  "Shut up! Eat quickly!!" A big bun was roughly stuffed in front of Jiǔ Mìng's face, "Hurry up, hurry up, they're all watching too!"

  Shaking his head, Jiǔ Mìng opened his mouth, and the next moment he was stunned. What's going on? It actually, it really can eat things?

  It's not like chewing on a stone, but there really is a feeling of 'eating' and 'digesting', his eyes wide with wonder, Jiǔ Mìng grabbed one of the bottles of water and took a big gulp.

  Never worn through the soul fell to the ground.

  "I knew it, you're the kind of guy who's like a ghost but not really a ghost, how can you possibly not eat anything." Haruhi Suzumiya gestured with her hands. "A real ghost should be wearing white clothes, pale all over, with a ghostly flame floating around them, and they should be able to float around too, your unconventional style is way off."

  "No, no, I think the image of a girl wearing dark-colored clothes and long black hair, saying 'Want to die once?' is more suitable." Ah Xū couldn't help but interject, the ghostly figure with a pale body and floating ghost fire was too unlovable!

  "I'm not that kind of person, it's really fortunate. Oh right, didn't you say you'd treat me to something? What are you waiting for!"

  He felt like he had already burned out his nine lives, his greatest regret was gone, what else was there to pursue!!

  "Hey! What's with this 'I'm about to attain Buddhahood' look on your face?" In short, Ah Xū was a bit worried about his wallet.

  "Wait, anyway we've seen everything there is to see. Why don't you guys bring back some fireworks when you come back? I saw that store over there selling them." Haruhi Suzumiya, who had been in high spirits the whole time, suddenly said, "It's not often that I dress up like this, so let's just go all out and have fun!"

  "......Sigh." A little heartache for his wallet, Ah Xū helplessly sighed and nodded in agreement.

  He's really a poor ordinary high school student, seeing him like this, I couldn't help but chuckle and waved at Hoshi, saying let's play computer games together next time. After that, Kuroba was eager to start eating.

  Seeing Jiuming's expression, Ah Xū became even more entangled, "This expression of sharpening the knife and beheading people makes me feel like my heart is aching."

  "Nonsense, it's not like you're heartbroken again. I said you shouldn't be that poor, right? Are you still keeping that stone I gave you?"

  Is that high-value thing just a stone to you?! His face changed slightly, Ah Xū pulled the rope around his neck, on which hung the high-energy crystal. "Of course, I think this thing is pretty good, planning to pass it down to my descendants... after all, I spent one minute of my life for it... Your expression looks a bit strange, hey! This thing won't have any radioactive properties that are harmful to humans, will it?!"

  "Huh? You're overthinking. Nine Lives chuckled and shook his head, "Anyway, it's your thing now, you can deal with it however you want, don't worry, this thing is absolutely harmless to the human body, and it even has some benefits."

  "Ah Xū's eyes lit up, 'Can I become Superman?'"

  "Stop dreaming... even if you wear this thing, you're still just an ordinary person who can be killed by a bullet or a knife."

  What a joke, not to mention anything else, just the energy that this high-energy crystal naturally emits, this kind of passive absorption can absorb one percent is already good, but even if it's only one percent, this 'ordinary' world is enough to change the carrier's physique, after decades may increase ability slightly, physical strength slightly, speed slightly and so on... counts as a 'treasure', just this low-grade high-energy crystal, emitting like this, at most in a few years will become an ordinary crystal.

  "Looks like there's something strange about this piece of his, 'May I take a look?'"
