Chapter 206 The Test of Courage and the Bizarre Clothing Store
Chapter 206 The Test of Courage and the Bizarre Clothing Store
The wind was quite noisy tonight, and the first day of summer camp passed by uneventfully.
"So what do elementary school students do on the second day of summer camp?" Uchiha Ryo asked Hiratsuka Shizuka during breakfast.
Hiratsuka Shizuka took a sip of tea and calmly announced today's tasks.
"Today is the whole day of free time for those kids, and tonight there will be a test of courage and a bonfire party. You guys are in charge of preparing for tonight's activities."
After breakfast, the girls went to prepare the props for the courage test, while the boys went to prepare the wood for the bonfire party and find a route for the courage test.
Uchiha Ryo and Shirogane Miyuki met in the backyard, each carrying a log. The backyard of this inn was more like a plaza. The open space was surrounded by trees, so the campfire was placed in the very center.
In case he did something like arson... his kind-hearted Uchiha clan, who loves the environment so much, would never do something as evil as that Yanyun.
After the campfire was almost ready, the two were called away by Hiratsuka Shizuka to prepare other things. Of course, they could choose to stay here to take care of the elementary school students or leave Chiba Forest with the girls and head to Chiba Prefecture to buy the props for the test of courage competition.
Amakusa Shino: "Let's split into groups of two and go buy them separately, that way it'll be faster."
Fujiwara Chika: "That works too. So, who should I team up with...?"
Amakusa Shino pulled Fujiwara Chika aside: "You'll be in my group, senpai will take you to buy some fun things~"
"This looks fun! Yeah, I'm in a group with Amakusa-senpai."

Chitanda turned to look at Yukinoshita, "Yukino, it's just the two of us!"
Yukinoshita shook her head. "I'm sorry, Eru. I promised Hiratsuka-sensei I would stay. After all, we need to leave a staff member to take care of the elementary school students."
Chitanda: "Eh..."
At that moment, Hiratsuka Shizuka pushed open the door and looked at the girls sitting on the bench discussing what to buy.
"If you stay here, you can go to the backyard and watch over the students with that elementary school teacher. Of course, you can also continue to stay with that child named Rumi."
Hiratsuka Shizuka then turned to Shirogane Miyuki, "Shirogane, you... go and walk the test route with the other two elementary school teachers to see if there are any problems."
Uchiha Ryo raised his hand, "Then I'll go shopping with you."
Hiratsuka Shizuka: "You can go... that's fine too. It would be good to have a guy help carry the things."
"..."
Uchiha Ryo smiled at Chitanda and said, "Then let's go buy the props for the test of courage tournament together, like those scary things or costumes, okay?"
.....
In Chiba Prefecture, Chitanda led Uchiha Ryo around and around until they arrived at a shop called the Strange Clothing Shop, located in a corner of the commercial district.
Unlike ordinary clothing, this place actually specializes in selling those strange cosplay outfits.
Of course, this quirky clothing store sells more than just strange clothes; it also offers many exquisite uniforms that boost attack speed and critical hit rate.
Uchiha Ryo: "Chitanda... how did you find this place?"
Chitanda chuckled, "It was Minister Amakusa who told me. She said we can buy a lot of clothes here."
Chitanda was immediately drawn to the things she had never seen before as soon as she entered the store, and quickly ran over to take a look.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Ryo stood inside the store entrance and knocked on the cashier's counter, waking up the owner who was still dozing off.
The boss's eyelids twitched a few times, and then he gave an awkward smile when he saw a customer arrive.
"Sorry, sir, I've been a bit tired lately, so I fell asleep."
Uchiha Ryo nodded nonchalantly. "Boss, you really have everything here."
The young owner, who looked to be no more than thirty, smiled confidently. "Of course! I have the equipment for any game you can think of!"
The shopkeeper glanced at Chitanda Eru, who was picking out clothes inside, and said, "Hey buddy, your girlfriend? I'm so envious... I'd love to have a girlfriend this young too."
Uchiha Ryo didn't refute, but he did see a certain world-weariness on the young boss's face. It has to be said, this boss was rather handsome, and these days many young girls like the handsome older man type.
"I think with your charisma, you should be easy to find."
The boss sighed, "It's easy to find someone, but the main problem is that I found a girlfriend... It's hard to explain to my family."
Uchiha Ryo: "Huh? You're just looking for a girlfriend, why can't you explain it to your family?"
The boss lowered his head as if he had thought of something, and lit a cigarette for himself in a dejected mood.
"The main problem is that I don't know how to explain it to my wife and children."
Uchiha Ryo didn't want to talk anymore; he shouldn't have chatted with the boss. However, since he was silent, the boss, who seemed to have been holding back for a long time, took the initiative to start a conversation with Uchiha Ryo.
"Hey buddy, what are you looking for in my shop with your girlfriend? It's too much trouble for you to look around slowly. I can help you pick something out."
Uchiha Ryo: "...Find some scary, frightening clothes."
Boss: "Terrifying... wow, I've been playing for so many years, and I've never seen anything like this before. Scary, isn't it? Mental damage is nowhere near as effective as physical damage!"
Uchiha Ryo: "Uh...we're preparing for a test of courage, not what you're thinking."
As they were talking, Chitanda suddenly walked over carrying a large pile of things.
"Boss, we'll buy all of these!"
Boss: "Okay! Thank you for your patronage!"
Uchiha Ryo glanced at them briefly. The largest item was a tiger costume, followed by several silver-white masks and a black whip.
"Chitanda, what did you buy that whip for?"
Chitanda Eru blinked her innocent big eyes. "I feel that as a scary ghost, I need some weapons. Don't worry, I won't really hit the kids, I'll just slap them on the ground."
Boss: "Haha, it's alright! Even if you get whipped, it won't hurt. Our whips aren't the kind that hurt a lot. At most, they'll just leave a red mark."
Uchiha Ryo then picked up several white, glow stick-like cylindrical objects.
"What is this now?"
Chitanda: "It's a glow stick. Look at the two buttons on it. You can press them and it lights up. I chose red, green, and blue ones."
The shopkeeper took it from him again, saying, "This is a great product that my wife personally tested. Pressing the first button lights up, and pressing the second button makes it vibrate. And I guarantee it's absolutely waterproof and won't leak electricity! You can return it anytime if there's a problem!"
I bought a few more cosplay outfits with a lot of fabric, and this trip to the Weird Clothing Store came to an end. However, the owner of this store was quite nice; if you buy a lot of things, they offer free shipping and deliver them on the same day.
Walking out of the clothing store empty-handed, Chitanda grabbed Uchiha Ryo's arm. "Let's try those things on when we get back!"
Uchiha Ryo: "Hmm?! If you don't mind, of course I can."
Chitanda nodded. "Yeah, those cosplay outfits. I'll try them on when I get back."
"Oh... a cosplay outfit."
Chitanda tilted her head. "Is there a problem?"
Uchiha Ryo: "It's nothing, I thought it was a glow stick..."
