In view of the situation in the service department where no one speaks, there is no delegation, and it is a complete waste of time, I decided to take strike action against the service department.

Although I was still feeling embarrassed for not participating in the service ministry activities the day before, now I have deeply realized that even if I participated in the service ministry activities, it would be of no use at all.

Judging from the fact that I have taken leave early after checking in every day without any intervention, first of all, Yukinoshita Yukino seems not to be so interested in correcting my character for the time being - at least correcting my character through club activities.

interest.

Secondly, Hiratsuka Shizuka doesn't seem to be the kind of club instructor who comes to supervise every day, otherwise she would have arrested me long ago, so I used not participating in club activities to express my inaction against this club and the risk of protesting without atmosphere.

Not big.

Of course, I feel like I forgot a few things that seemed to be possible to do in the club, but since I can't remember it, it shouldn't be the focus. My goal is: to use my long absence to tell the other two people in the club that this

How the club lacks the so-called status that a normal club should have. Although I don’t think those two extremely egotistical people would realize my hint, but at least I should show a gesture, right?

My choice is to go home first and take care of my sister who has been addicted to all kinds of food preparation recently. Although I am still living well in this world, this proves that the dinner at Yuigahama's house last night was not

It's not as embarrassing as I thought before.

But I think that's because cooking curry doesn't require much skill. I carefully ate a large bowl of rice with the half-cooked curry without touching the potatoes in the bowl, because I could clearly see that the potatoes were

A whole, unpeeled, uncut potato, otherwise I don't think I could survive that kind of cooking.

However, when I arrived home after a long absence, my sister disappointed me again. Although she is not the kind of elusive person, she always "happens" to go out and wander around when I come home early, which makes me feel

I was very surprised, so I could only look at my mother and say to me like she was coaxing a child:

"Kazuya came back very early today, but Yui didn't come back. She probably went to play with friends, right? You can go to the shopping mall where she often goes to look for her?"

But Mother, why did you think that I wanted to ask where my sister was when I first appeared and before I had a chance to say a word to you? Although my purpose is indeed this, your confidence is still

It scares me so much. Could it be that you are a hidden natural black character?

But regardless of that, as soon as I got home, I was half forced and half voluntarily went to the shopping mall where my sister often went to conduct a search like looking for a needle in a haystack.

But to be honest, the people in the circle that my sister and I often hang out in are not very familiar with each other. We know nothing about it except that there are mostly handsome men and beautiful women, and there is a special existence among them, a girl with glasses who is not very eye-catching. After all,

That is my sister's circle, I don't need to interfere, and I don't care much about the appearance of those people.

And in the mall, I didn't see my sister, but I saw an existence that gave me a headache in a certain sense - Ishiroha.

Next to Isshiki is someone I have never seen before, at least not my classmate. He even looks a bit like a senior student.

This is also natural. Girls like Ishikiha will never lack so-called "friends" at any time. Of course, I'm not sure whether this kind of "friend" relationship can be defined as "friendship", at least from Isshiki's perspective.

From the perspective of others, she clearly dominates her relationship with this group of people. She "uses" them just right. While expressing herself, she fully makes the other party feel that she has the upper hand. This is a kind of

Talent.

When many people realize Isshiki's behavior, they will think that it is a very bad way to play with other people, but in my opinion, her approach is no different from Hayama Hayato. In the relationship between people,

, is nothing more than the difference between voluntary and involuntary.

Both Hayama and Isshiki allowed others to unite to their side in a "voluntary" way. Of course, the rebuttal can think that the people around Isshiki were "deceived" by Isshiki. After excluding the problems caused by Isshiki's character,

After deceiving them, they will realize the folly of their actions.

But the problem is that we don’t know the true inner thoughts of these people. Similarly, why should we exclude Isshiki’s influence on others to examine his true thoughts, but not exclude Hayama’s influence on others to examine his true thoughts?

Personal personality factors are issues that must be considered in relationships between people, and there are no advantages or disadvantages to different personalities.

But having said that, I don't want to become another captive of Isshiki, especially her voice that really made my heart feel a little tingly and a little fluttery - note, it's a voice, just a voice.

And my main goal now is to find my sister, so let Isshiki enjoy her live life!

However, I think Ishiroha must have clicked on the skill point of automatically detecting Yuigahama Kazuya, because just when I turned my head, I heard her cry:

"Hey, Kazuya!"

Don't look back, leave quickly! And be careful not to use too fast steps, which will make the other party suspect that they have heard her cry.

"Kazuya, here, here!"

Ignore her, as long as she slowly disappears out of her sight, then she will not come after me if she has friends with her, because she wants to maintain an equidistant image from everyone in front of other people.

If she shows a special interest in me, it will definitely make everyone around her suspicious of her.

"Didn't you hear that?"

I heard Isshiki's disappointed voice, yes, that's it, and then I slowly disappeared, and she slowly ignored me. Although it was inevitable to say a few words in school, I didn't have time to get involved now.

Something about Iroha's circle.

"Okay, let's continue discussing this matter! Aimi-chan, are you saying that you can ask the teacher for everyone's junior high school materials?"

Just when I thought I had successfully escaped, Isshiki's somewhat deliberately amplified voice reached my ears. I knew this was a trap, and it was indeed a trap, but this kind of trap has to be stepped on, and I also

All you can do is keep your ears open and listen.

"That's right, Iroha-chan, whose junior high school material do you want to see?" the girl named Aimi replied.

"Well, I'd better not say it in front of other people. It involves that person's privacy. You just need to tell me how to check it!"

Isshiki's voice was a little light, but I'm sure that it was obvious what her purpose was when she said these words at this time. Well, I'm not worried about my junior high school information being known by Isshiki. Anyway, with her attitude towards

Due to my mistakes, it was only a matter of time before a lot of information about me was dug out, and I just had to pretend to be dumb to her questions like before.

But the problem is what if the news expands. So far, my football talents are only known to Hayama and the people in the football club. With Hayama’s ability, he can completely keep the football club secret.

Speaking of which, Hayama is not the kind of person who would use pressure from public opinion as a means to force others to submit.

As for the fact that I am actually good at science, no one knows except Hiratsuka Shizuka and Isshiki, who has some suspicions. But if the materials from my junior high school period are revealed, with the gossip-making ability of a middle school student, what will happen?

But it is impossible to estimate.

However, the most dangerous thing is that the discussion on Isshiki's side seems to be heading in this direction.

"Hey, who is Iroha-chan interested in?"

"That's right, that's right. The junior high school materials are basically just boring things like grades, clubs you joined and grades you got, right? What does Iroha-chan want to know about these things?"

"Could it be that the person Iroha-chan is interested in is a boy and she wants to know about that boy's junior high school life?"

"Yes, this is understandable, but isn't Kojima too pitiful? He is obviously planning to confess his love to Iroha-chan in a few days, but what should he do now?"

"Hey, Kojima-san? I don't think I want to fall in love right now! But you didn't tell me these things in advance, it's really too much!"

"But doesn't Iroha-chan have a boy she likes?"

"Hey, that's not the case!"

Okay, that's enough. I can't stand the normal gossip of this bunch of high school boys and girls. If this continues, Isshiki will give up on the matter of trying to figure out my information "half-heartedly".

After the "leak" came out, not only would I have to face the crisis of my junior high school affairs being known to others, but I might also become the common enemy of Isshiki's potential fans in school, which would make me want to live in a low profile.

, the high school life that changed in a low-key manner has become chaotic. Ishiroha, your move is really ruthless, I am convinced by you!

I could only turn my head, and then I saw Isshiki looking at me with an innocent look on her face, but she pointed at her left hand holding the phone in her right hand, revealing her complacency.

"Kazuya, go find a place to sit down and wait for me! ☆I'll contact you as soon as I finish shopping with Aimi-chan and the others. Don't run away!"

Don't always say "oh" and "ah" and add so many modal particles, okay? This kind of cute little girl looks really childish! Although Sister Yui has been posting this type of posts

I have received an email from you, but it always feels a little extra awkward to send such messages to a girl of the same age who is not related to me by blood.

However, I had no choice. Isshiki seemed to have found my Achilles heel, so I could only follow her instructions and find a cafe to sit down. Sorry sister, if you just go shopping with others

It shouldn't matter, right? What's happening with Isshiki right now is a major matter that affects the success of my brother's high school life. Will you forgive me?

--------------------------Dividing line----------------------

I don't know what other people's "wait for me" means, but Ishiroha's "wait for me" was really long enough. I waited in the cafe for a full hour before I waited while talking on the phone.

Some belated arrivals.

When he saw me, Isshiki showed a very happy expression and shouted: "Kazuya, I'm sorry for the long wait. I just talked to Aimi-chan and the others for too long and wasted a little time. Is there any problem?"

"No problem!" It's not that there is no problem! I don't know what kind of coffee shop I entered, but the price is calculated by the hour. Aren't places like coffee shops a place where you can order the cheapest cup of coffee and sit there for a whole day?

I know the current economic situation is very bad, but you can't use this terrible method to make money, right? It will only prevent you from attracting repeat customers. The rent of such a downtown store is very expensive, so you have to

Thinking about it!

Also, there is only one hour until my part-time job. If I can't resolve this conversation within thirty minutes and dare to go to karaoke, then my perfect attendance award this month will be in vain. Although I don't know Isshiki you

What is your family background like, but our Yuigahama family is just an ordinary working-class family, and it is still difficult for two of us to bear the cost of attending a school like Sobu High School!

"That would be best. Have you been waiting here for a long time? I'm going to treat you today!"

"Well, okay!" Under normal circumstances, the way to attack a girl is to bear it no matter how much money you have, and then give the other party a good impression, but I am not interested in being a one-woman show, and the second reason is that I am really not the kind of person who doesn't care.

People who are short of money, so since you are so generous, Isshiki-san, then there is no need for me to be polite, right?

"Hey, Kazuya? Do you know that what you are doing is very ungentlemanly? At this time, no matter whether you are willing or not, basic etiquette is still necessary. It is really bad to accept a girl's invitation directly like this.

Oh, you won’t be able to capture girls like this!”

"If the girl I like is this kind of person, I don't think I need to like her anymore."

"But girls in the world are very concerned about this. If a boy is stingy and a girl likes him, it will only exist in comics. Of course, if he becomes his girlfriend, it will be another matter. At least he is chasing girls.

You should be more generous when it’s time!”
