[Why is there Doraemon? Don’t you have to pay copyright fees?]
[Because in reality, Doraemon is really placed here]
[It’s not even censored]
[Eating ice cream in the middle of winter?]
[Don’t you get it? Eating ice cream in winter is a must-do in Hokkaido]
[Getting diarrhea is also part of it]
The tour group boarded the train to Otaru.
Because of the crowd, Jiang Jian Yue could only sit alone, facing the group.
At this moment, the main perspective was placed on Jiang Jian Yue, unconsciously revealing a sense of loneliness and inexplicable melancholy, which was keenly captured by the viewers.
And the photo taken by Jiang Jian Yue pushed the audience’s inner sense of “bad premonition” to its peak.
[Masaka]
[There’s always this feeling of being strangers on the road]
[It hurts, sob sob, Emi-chan, you’re a good person, right]
[There’s nothing to analyze here, how could Hattori-san, Emi’s bodyguard, be on the opposite side]
[Yeah, why is the bullet chat overthinking]
Jiang Jian Yue knew that the Chongzhong here just wanted to express that in the end, they weren’t on the same path.
At that time, her mind was filled with a sense of relaxation, and everyone in the photo looked so youthful and beautiful—how could there be such melancholy and loneliness?
Moreover, the expression with a faint smile in the photo was blocked by a scarf, making it hard to tell if it was sadness or a smile.
Careless—she should have lowered the scarf a bit.
Getting off the train, there was the memory that still makes Jiang Jian Yue curl her toes in embarrassment to this day: Koji Hattori squeezing into another tour group to practice Chinese.
[Chinese appeared! The fourth language!]
[What, I want to hear the Ojou-sama speak, Supervisor get lost]
[That secondhand embarrassment strikes again]
[Am I the only one who thinks Hattori-san is cute?]
[Pervert]
***
[As expected, Onishi’s stomach hurt, hahaha]
[Wasn’t this a must-do earlier? Is this also a must?]
[I’ve been to Hokkaido, the toilets there are pure]
[They held hands, I’m going!]
[!]
[Orange faction wins]
[Little Sun is also ‘Hi’ (day), isn’t this a sun-moon pairing]
[Are their wings about to tie together?]
[It’s clearly just dragging along]
Staring at the flood of bullet chat, even though she did do it herself, Jiang Jian Yue’s mindset was completely different now, and she felt uncomfortable.
What wings tying together! Harem male lead stuff… Disgusting!
Down with yuri pairings too. If even Peach-chan, a Japanese, can misunderstand, why do you all misunderstand too!?
Stab the bullet chat meow! Stab the bullet chat meow! Stab the bullet chat meow!
Jiang Jian Yue gripped the ballpoint pen tighter, leaving a deep mark on the white paper.
[Is Emi-chan the official photographer?]
[Wow, she can control snow]
[Such a beautiful ability]
[Such a weak ability]
[Kaori-chan is a countermeasure card, okay]
[Then can other liquids be controlled?]
[The human body is 70% water, so Kaori-chan’s ability is actually strong]
You’re right, but Kaori Onishi can’t do it.
Amazing.
Last time, even absorbing the moisture from wet clothes was so difficult—Jiang Jian Yue didn’t believe Onishi Kaori could do that with a human body.
And Parasites don’t have room to grow; at most, they become more familiar with their abilities.
Only Cicada Shell Hosts have their abilities strengthened under “combat activation,” and the upper limit depends on Runaway Energy—the higher the value, the greater the potential.
[What! It’s not a filter cartridge? (Leaves disappointed)]
[Don’t make your Yue-jie laugh]
[Why does Emi-chan seem clueless about everything, could she really be an old Chinese spy?]
[It’s over]
[To confess under these circumstances?]
[It’s all! Over!]
[Yuki didn’t even blush, guess it’s hopeless]
[Don’t run away! Isn’t this just giving Jiang Jian space?]
[Not chasing at a time like this!?]
[Don’t force the black, Yuki only thinks about Jiang Jian-senpai, he wouldn’t chase other women]
[Aggrieved puppy]
[Sobs, senpai.jpg]
—This is a widely circulated Yuki Asahi dog meme.
The anime had progressed to holding hands on the bridge.
From an outsider’s perspective, it did have a bit of youthful romance.
Not at all in line with the aura of an old man like me.
“Warming up again… Only the hands are cold.”
[What does this line mean?]
[Is there a hidden joke I don’t get?]
[Hand cold can also mean a relationship cooling down, so it’s a tease]
[Such a good photo, it makes me cry tears of envy]
Jiang Jian Yue also realized then that they were photographed by passing tourists.
She had to admit, it was shot quite romantically.
She paused for a long time, then picked up her phone to take a picture of the scene.
Some photos, as a photographer, she never gets the chance to take.
The playback continued, and the camera didn’t follow the two further—thank goodness, or else watching them clutching a hand warmer without letting go would have been too silly!
Instead, it moved to Onishi Kaori, who had run away but was persuaded to return by the group.
[Whenever I think about how Onishi Kaori later lost big, I want to laugh]
[Whenever I think about how Kaori-chan ranks second but someone else is far ahead yet already doomed, I want to laugh]
[Is it starting again? CP wars!]
[It’s all because of you adults, that the war never ends!]
[Everyone stop arguing, the CP I support is Hattori X Yuki, does anyone get it]
[I prefer Kuninori Tsuruoka X Swallowing Body G, does anyone get it]
Bro, your tastes are a bit niche.
The CP wars in the bullet chat grew even fiercer, especially during Onishi Kaori’s second confession at the foot of Tengu Mountain.
And on the side, her passing self seemed to become part of some world-famous painting.
[Don’t refuse ahhhhh]
[It’s not even over yet, confessing at this point means getting eliminated]
[Don’t forget Yuki-kun confessed really early on]
[So what, he’s the male lead, it’s not the same]
[That’s a real mob character voice]
[I can’t accept this]
[Kaori-san, why are you making such sounds]—This bullet chat is my soulmate!
[Oh no! Sell off Kaori stocks fast]
[Has a new battlefield emerged?]
[Not great, at most it’s a defeated-dog highlight]
[But isn’t that fine too.jpg]
[Fast forward to the scene where the woman sings and the man dies]
[Is this Cheng Cheng really Makoto Ito?]
The next scene didn’t transition to the low-pressure cable car ride up the mountain but followed Koji Hattori staring in distress at his phone, cutting back to Tokyo.
Morita Aoya and Father spoke over the phone, revealing information about his fiancée.
[Ojou-sama is definitely tsundere, just embarrassed to admit she likes someone]
You’re the tsundere!
[Fiancée?]
[The one from the post-credits of episode 11]
[A misunderstanding over here, a stomachache over there?]
***
It was only then that Jiang Jian Yue realized the real reason for Father’s change in attitude was a small ice cream.
But… Even if she hadn’t held Onishi Kaori’s hand, Nine-Tails Seiji would have returned to Japan.
In that case, she wouldn’t have been able to prepare in advance—even if it was just mentally.
Tidying up her messy feelings, Jiang Jian Yue sighed at fate and kept watching.
[Filming location of J-drama first love]
[When will they kiss like the adult leads]
[They actually sang!]
[Hikaru Utada’s first love]
[Uncle sings well]
[Feels like there’s a story there]
What story could he have? Just a bachelor.
[Kaori-chan… This word has some implied meaning]
[I can’t accept this!]
[Emi-chan’s singing is so beautiful]
[No stuttering while singing]
[Too beautiful, like heaven]
[Strange to say, but Kaori-chan’s line really can be translated like this]
[Emi-chan is just Ge Zhu, isn’t she]
I suspect this bullet chat is insulting me, but I have no evidence.
After that was the bathroom conversation between Koji Hattori and Yuki Asahi.
—Now the reason Yuki Asahi’s eyes became weird after coming back from the bathroom was clear.
Originally, Yuki Asahi didn’t feel a sense of urgency, but when he realized that his Jiang Jian-senpai might marry someone else, he became more aggressive.
Jiang Jian Yue listened to Koji Hattori’s analysis of the Ojou-sama with interest and agreed with some points.
After all, it was something that had already happened—she was referring to “If you kiss her directly, she can’t take it.”
And about her previous feelings toward Yuki Asahi… It was like watching a child. Of course, it still is.
Before, it was an adult looking at a child; now, it’s like a copper fetish looking at a child.
But analyzing your own master like this…
It seems Koji Hattori really wants to fit into the Jiang Family.
The highest level of speculating about the Holy Will is not letting those above know you’re speculating.
Poor Koji Hattori, unaware that his words would reach Jiang Jian Yue’s ears due to some unspeakable force.
The later scenes connected to the return trip and her conversation with Onishi Kaori.
[Don’t apologize to the enemy, sob sob sob]
[Love affairs are so messy]
[Emi-chan’s expressionless face has such the dignity of the main wife]
[Hasn’t she always had that expression?]
[Doing the impossible despite knowing you can’t, tears]
[Emi-mama is gentle too]
The scene of her tossing and turning on the bed after Onishi Kaori left wasn’t included.
It was clear that Chongzhong had always avoided showing her inner activities—so mean!
At this moment, the phone on the desk lit up again.
Feeling annoyed, Jiang Jian Yue glanced at it and saw that it was still a message from Morita Aoya.
“Ojou-sama, I’m coming up.”
Not long after, the elevator at the entrance opened slowly, and Morita Aoya, looking exhausted, came to the computer desk.
“What is it?”
Jiang Jian Yue asked casually, her attention still on the screen—where Dark Crow Unit members were scattering after getting off at Lake Toya.
She felt a bit speechless.
It was so obvious, a little unprofessional!
Absentmindedly, she pushed the proposal she had written over.
“My opinion.”
Morita Aoya hesitated, then put the file away, glancing at the pitch-black screen before speaking carefully.
“Um, Ojou-sama, did you have a fight with the Jiang Family Head?”
“Yeah.”
Jiang Jian Yue still didn’t realize the seriousness of the situation, eyes glued to the screen like an internet-addicted girl.
“The Family Head… asked me to inform you that from today, you can’t stay at home anymore.”
“Oh…”
Jiang Jian Yue was immersed in the screen, watching Koji Hattori’s little room assignment magic, before finally processing it.
She turned blankly to look at Morita Aoya, her expression vacant.
“Huh?”
