This Japanese Story Is Not Too Cold

The deadline for online voting for the Youth Painting Awards is the day after tomorrow.

Kitagawa Eri's work currently ranks first with 1563 votes.

But the work that came in second place was Asuka Ando, ​​who came up from the tenth place.

She paid for the tickets, and the increase of one or two hundred votes a day quickly caught up.

In addition, her own drawing skills are not bad, and some people were also attracted by her rapid momentum and finally voted.

Asuka Ando now has 1,521 votes, but according to her rate of one or two hundred votes that day, it is estimated that Kitagawa Eri will be squeezed out by her soon.

Well--

Seeing that she was about to be overtaken by the opponent, Kitagawa Eri pouted, feeling that the sandwich was not very tasty.

She didn't quite understand why Ando Asuka's number of votes rose so quickly, obviously Ando Asuka's paintings were not as good as hers.

Kitagawa Eri sighed, holding a sandwich.

"The website of the Youth Painting Awards?" Saki Sakurai, who was sitting next to her, adjusted her glasses, and said in a curious tone, "Speaking of which, isn't Eri the No. 1 already stabilized?"

"No... Saki, I was almost kicked out by Ando from the art department." Eri Kitagawa touched her little head, and continued with some embarrassment: "At first I thought I was stable, It turns out that maybe I was too naive now.”

Upon hearing this, Sakura Mio and Takigen Nanako leaned over.

They all know that there is a feud between Asuka Ando and Eri Kitagawa, and Eri Beichuan was still showing off her first place last time, and everyone is still discussing where Eri Kitagawa will go to play after the first place, why only two or three days Kitagawa Eri will fall from the first place in the time?

At this time, Otomo's calm voice sounded: "Maybe Eri, you don't know it well. I heard that Senior Ando seemed to spend money on the Internet to buy tickets. This kind of increase rate is obviously wrong."

She frowned and continued; "Not only do you wear small shoes for Eri in the club activities, but you also use this method in the Grand Prix, Eri, why don't you let your elder brother come forward to solve this matter?" ?”

Dayouai is the most calm and witty girl among the five, so she sees things more clearly than others.

At least, as long as Beichuan Eri makes use of Beichuan Temple, the largest backer in northern Beijing, her life will not be as sad as it is now.

But what Dayouai never expected was that Beichuan Eri's face changed and she yelled loudly: "No! You can't tell Brother Si!"

"...Hey...?" Several buddies around made voices of incomprehension.

Their voices made Kitagawa Eri blush.

She stiffened her neck, blushed, and straightened her chest: "If I don't do this kind of thing alone, then it is meaningless at all."

"I have to use my own ability to convince those guys."

In this respect, Kitagawa Eri seems to have a kind of stubbornness like a child.

But from another point of view, this kind of Beichuan Eri made the other four people not hate it at all.

Perhaps it is because of her personality that she is the one who is most cared and loved by others among the five.

But Ando Asuka and his group have done this kind of thing, and even the most basic fair competition cannot be guaranteed, so it is impossible to talk about convincing others with ability.

So Dayouai made a decision——

Secretly told Beichuan Temple about it.

After all, Beichuan Temple is a senior, and in the north of Beijing, Beichuan Temple's reputation is simply a killer to deter lower grades and senior students.

If it was Beichuan Temple, there should be a way to help Beichuan Eri.

After all, the election day is the day after tomorrow. If things go on like this, Beichuan Eri will really be squeezed to second or even third place.

With this in mind, after lunch, Dayouai hurriedly packed up the lunch box, greeted his buddies and walked back to the main building, heading towards Class A of the second grade.

As soon as she went up the stairs, she saw Beichuan Temple talking to a pretty girl with shoulder-length middle-length hair.

that is--

Mirai-senpai Kamiya in the second grade?

Dayouai was a little surprised.

She looked back and forth between Beichuan Temple and Kamiya Mirai, and was even more surprised when she found that Kamiya Mirai was smiling and talking to Beichuan Temple without saying a word.

Kamiya Mirai is a second-year celebrity, and is often discussed because of his talent and looks.

And that Brother Si actually chats with others during lunch break? Or that Kamiya-senpai who is popular with others? This is too surprising.

Just as she was still thinking, Beichuan Temple looked over from afar.

It's really impolite to peek like this when the other party finds out.

Dayouai walked out of the partition wall in the stairwell with a bento box, and came to Beichuan Temple respectfully: "Brother Temple, Sister Kamiya, good afternoon."

"Eri's friend?" Beichuan Temple looked at Dayouai and asked, "What do you want from me?"

He had already sensed Oyouai's peeping eyes from hiding, but since the other party was a friend of Beichuan Eri, Beichuan Temple didn't particularly care.

"That..." Oyouai looked hesitantly between Beichuan Temple and the smiling face of Kamiya Mirai.

At this time, Mirai Kamiya suddenly said: "This classmate should come to Temple Lord because of Sister Eri's affairs, right?"

She looked at Dayouai with piercing and bright eyes, and there was a hint of agility in them from time to time.

"Huh?" Dayouai paused, and said incredulously, "How did Kamiya-senpai know?"

"I can tell just by looking at you. It's nothing more than that you don't know the relationship between Tera-kun and me, so you hesitate and don't know how to open your mouth. Besides, Tera-kun also said before that you are a friend of Sister Eri, combined with Sister Eri's recent experience. , it’s easy to think of that.”

Mirai Kamiya replied with a smile.

But for the casual smile on her face, Dayouai felt a chill in his heart.

This senior is too smart, she can think of so many things just from her own few words... Is it worthy of being a girl who can talk to Beichuan Temple during lunch break?

and--

"Listen to Kamiya-senpai's tone...do Brother Tera already know about Eri?" Otomo asked tentatively.

Faced with Dayouai's question, Beichuan Temple nodded affirmatively.

"Then why don't you help Eri...?" Otomo opened her mouth.

No matter how you look at it, Beichuan Temple doesn't seem to dislike Beichuan Eri. The last time they encountered danger, they rushed there quickly. Beichuan Temple was also very reliable, and everything was resolved in two or three strokes. On the contrary, the few of them were like salted fish shouting 666 behind Beichuan Temple.

"I will do what I have to do. The most important thing is to respect Eri's own wishes." Bei Chuansi's face softened slightly: "Similarly, thank you for caring about Eri."

"...I... Eri and I are friends after all." Otomo's indifferent and indifferent character was a little overwhelmed.

She is a standard thin-skinned little girl with a cold face and a warm heart, and who can't help being kind to her.

She will always remember those who have been kind to her. She will never forget those who have been bad to her.

Dayouai took a deep breath, regained his respectful and indifferent look and said:

"Since Brother Temple already knows. Then I will not disturb the lunch break between Brother Temple and Sister Kamiya."

After leaving these words, Dayouai bowed and turned to leave.

Looking at the back of Dayu Ai going away, Shengu Mirai couldn't help but chuckle twice: "This junior can really talk."

"It's pretty good at talking." Beichuan Temple nodded beside him, expressing his agreement.

I just don't know if what he agrees with and what Shengu Mirai approves is the same thing.

 …

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was three hours before the voting deadline.

These two days are very difficult for Ando Asuka.

From the tenth place at the beginning to spending money to buy tickets on the Internet, Ando Asuka put all his pocket money in it, and even spent part of the tuition fee on it.

She had to let Kitagawa Eri feel what it was like to be trampled under the feet of others.

"That guy dared to contradict me." Ando Asuka gritted his teeth resentfully.

That was when Beichuan Eri first joined the Art Club, and the people in their small group were joking about Beichuan Temple——

"Oh... so it's really amazing, the Great Demon King Beichuan... I heard that there are people who say that he drank human blood and ate human flesh."

Ando Asuka said these words playfully.

"It's disgusting, if it's true, it's too scary."

A little girl next to her covered her mouth and smiled cheerfully.

"I also heard that Mirai-senior Kamiya, who was in the second grade, was also forced to be his tablemate because of the threat of the Great Demon King Beichuan. It's really pitiful, Senior Kamiya."

The girl with short hair made a pitiful voice, as if Mirai Kamiya was herself.

"That Beichuan Temple is a delinquent. I heard that he cheated on the exam results..."

clang! ! ! !

A voice suddenly came out.

Kitagawa Eri, who was wearing a long navy blue uniform dress, stood up suddenly, and looked towards them with big crystal clear eyes:

"I don't allow you to speak ill of Brother Si!"

Her height was on the short side, but she displayed an inexplicable aura at this time.

This inexplicable oppressive aura made Ando Asuka, a small group of people talking and laughing, stagnate.

Then...

That's the beginning of the quarrel.

Fortunately, Chiba Ying, the art instructor, arrived in time, otherwise Beichuan Eri would have fought them.

Alone, fighting with a small group...

At that time, Kitagawa Eri held his head high and refused to admit defeat, which left a deep impression on Ando Asuka.

And now... such a person is about to lose in his own hands.

Asuka Ando happily opened the voting page, and took another look at his and Eri Kitagawa's rankings.

Keihoku High School, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, Eri Kitagawa, work: "Asuka", first place: 2130 votes.

Keihoku High School, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, Asuka Ando, ​​work: "Untitled", second place: 2115 votes.

 …

"Huh? Why are there still fifteen votes short?" Ando Asuka glanced at the transfer notification on the phone, not quite understanding.

But at this point, she will not begrudge the little money anymore.

She paid for some more votes.

Then continue to refresh the web page.

Asuka Ando, ​​second place: 2286 votes.

Eri Kitagawa, first place: 2300 votes.

"What's going on?!" Ando Asuka stood up in disbelief.

Why did Beichuan Eri suddenly gain more than 100 votes? ! What the hell happened?

But...

"Fourteen votes to go... Fourteen votes to go..."

The goal was getting closer and closer, and she couldn't give up no matter what. She could no longer maintain her calm expression, and took out her mobile phone again to buy votes.

The page refreshes again.

Five minutes later, the list appeared again.

Asuka Ando, ​​second place: 2460 votes.

Eri Kitagawa, first place: 2476 votes.

"What's going on?! Is there something wrong with the background?"

How could Eri Kitagawa gain so many votes in just five minutes?

Asuka Ando, ​​with disheveled hair just after taking a shower, couldn't help calling the organizer.

What can be obtained is a notification that there is no problem in the background.

"hateful!"

Ando Asuka clenched his phone tightly, looking at the rankings on the webpage, his eyes turned green.

If so, keep voting! She didn't believe that Beichuan Eri could still make trouble in the last three hours!

Page click, refresh——

Second place, 2650 votes.

Buy another ticket! Refresh again!

Second place, 2761!

buy tickets.

refresh.

buy tickets.

refresh.

At the back, Ando Asuka just mechanically raised his hand and clicked, repeating this action over and over again.

But--

Second place!

Second place!

Second place!

how so? !

The bright red runner-up and Eri Kitagawa were only short of votes each time, making Ando Asuka gritted his teeth, with a pale face, and kept nodding to buy tickets.

But on the page, she will always be number two.

Yes, always only second place.

The number of votes reached more than 3,000, but Beichuan Eri was ahead of her by more than ten votes every time.

"This is impossible!"

The words "insufficient balance" on the phone seemed to be mocking Ando Asuka.

She scratched her hair, screamed, and stood up from her chair.

She has already invested all her money, how could she not be as powerful as Beichuan Eri!

Is there still a problem in Japan that cannot be solved by banknote capacity? !

She stepped on the floor, but it may be because she just took a shower and didn't blow her hair. There were inexplicable water stains on the ground at some point. When the soles of her feet slipped, her head hit the ground fiercely!

Ando Asuka fell to the ground, but his chest heaved up and down with anger, and he was still muttering unconsciously in his mouth:

"This is impossible..."

Yes...

This is simply not possible.

But--

"Hello? Beichuan-kun, I have already done everything you want me to do, how about it? Do you want to continue?"

On the other end of the phone, Akishino Yuna's curious voice came.

Beichuan Temple called her suddenly just now, saying that he wanted her to do a favor.

But she never thought that it was this kind of thing that she wanted to help with...

'Is it a little bullying? '

Qiu Xiaoyuna looked at the first and second place who happened to be in the first and second place with a gap of about ten votes, the corner of her mouth twitched, thinking in her heart.

"No, this time I'm bothering you."

The voice of Beichuan Temple came from there.
