Every time I raise my head, I will notice the angry eyes of others, so I am no longer unfamiliar with the days when I lower my head somewhat forcedly. If you only count time, this was what I faced until 9 months ago.

Normal, although in a sense this past has been a long time ago.

I can face the current situation very easily. After all, unlike 9 months ago, no one can accuse me of "making a mistake". Everyone can only take this as an example that Yuigahama Kazuya, who has become much normal recently, is still a weirdo in the end.

, while lamenting the fact that the always clean Kogi Yukina had such unexpected encounters with unkind people at the end of high school, she was somewhat glad that she was not persecuted by these weirdos in the end. Of course, compared to the first one, she was relatively worthy of sympathy.

The first person is a lonely person, and the second person who can see through the nature of his madness with a little understanding of him is undoubtedly a person who is more worthy of verbal criticism.

However, apart from complaining that the weirdo was trying to make things worse when Xiaomu was under great psychological pressure, others seemed to have no way to hold me accountable for a legitimate reason. After all, the other protagonist of the incident always wanted to settle the matter. So.

, except for the ever-present weird and dissatisfied looks, no one had a direct conflict with me.

This is also the effect I want to achieve. All people's anger is transferred to a person who has not much to blame. Slowly, their anger that has nowhere to express will naturally dissipate. Although after seeing

When you see that person, many familiar things will resurface in your mind. However, this is still the end of this series of gossip.

At least in the week after that, people who had experienced the twists and turns of the previous situation could finally realize that there was no new material to expose, and Yuigahama Kazuya became the last person to talk about after dinner.

"From this point of view, Ogi-senpai is much more famous than Hayama-senpai," Isshiki said jokingly while arranging his hair, "Look at the two big news you made, and Hayama

Senior's football game didn't make many people remember you, but rejecting Ogi-senpai made your name famous throughout the school!"

Isshiki's outstanding popularity in the class caused her to maintain a normal attitude towards interacting with me, but it only made others lament that "even if she treats problem children, Iroha-chan can treat them equally", thus showing her side.

Kind. However, what I am most grateful for is that after that, she appeared in the activity classroom of the service department every day and played the role of an atmosphere adjuster. Yukinoshita and her sister were tired of dealing with this guy's endless "provocations"

, and there was no time to reprimand me deeply. This atmosphere made my sister always give me a wry smile and give up questioning even when she returned home.

"There's a big difference between being one of Hayama's countless defeated generals and the only one who rejected Ogi-senpai. The topic is too different, okay?"

"But didn't you lose to Hayama-senpai?"

"If you don't win, you lose. You saw the final result."

"Well, that's right." She twisted the ends of her hair into a very complicated hairstyle and asked casually, "Kazuya, what do you think of this hairstyle?"

"Well, any hairstyle suits you anyway."

"Tsk, tsk, that's the standard harem hero's routine when it comes to conquering girls!"

"Really? Isn't this the typical unintentional paradigm of 'everything is good, everything is good' that three-dimensional girls hate most?"

"If you know this, please give me a more sincere compliment!"

"Is there any reward for getting distracted?"

"If you take it seriously," Isshiki rolled his eyes, "The reward is that I might have some beautiful misunderstandings about Kazuya, who just lost his love, because of his excessive sympathy, and then I will really fall in love with you!"

"However, this is contradictory, isn't it? It is impossible for someone who has just fallen out of love to be in the mood to compliment another girl's hairstyle sincerely. If he compliments another girl's hairstyle with the intention of conquering her, how can such a person be in a state of falling out of love?

In status?"

"Hey, I'm as logic crazy as ever. Only this point hasn't changed at all."

"Maybe this is my core character, and the rest is all constructed."

For a whole week, this kind of teasing conversation with Isshiki became my only remaining entertainment activity. Maybe the scandal has come to an end after all the turmoil, but I know that the real issues about feelings have not stopped.

For a whole week, after senior said "I will not accept it", I did not get any further feedback from senior Xiaomu. If I had accepted this reality, then maybe the problem would be much simpler, but those words made me

There will always be some unrealistic yearnings in our hearts.

Based on what Senior Xiaomu knows about me, it is impossible for her not to be suspicious. If she really chooses to continue to doubt me, now should be the time for her to give me another hint.

If we can understand each other

"Kazuya, you know, right? The most important thing now is that Senior Xiaomu must completely believe your lie. If you hold on to that kind of expectation, it will not only destroy your reputation in the end, but also Senior Xiaomu's.

People are willing to express their anger for girls without asking for anything in return, but when they find that this anger itself is being used, their anger towards the person who deceived them will reach another peak."

As if he had read through my inner thoughts, Isshiki said suddenly.

"Is this feeling really so obvious?" I responded with a wry smile.

"After all, I am the one who has talked to you the most these days, right? Moreover, I have deduced the entire plan and subsequent reactions, which of course includes your reaction."

"Then, can you tell me the reaction of Ogi-senpai you deduced?"

"I didn't analyze the possibilities. I just listed all her possible reactions and then told myself the measures I should take against you at that time. That's all."

“You’ve already reached this level!”

"Otherwise, I can't be your backer." Isshiki smiled softly and said, "Didn't I say it? What I do now is the same as what you did for me back then. I will consider everything in advance.

situation."

I didn't ask Isshiki why she did this, because I knew that even if I asked, she would use a clever way to change the subject, just like she always does.

"However, I can tell you my plan for what to do with Kazuya's condition at this time!"

"Then it doesn't count as a plan because you're about to adopt it, right?"

"Hey, Kazuya, let's go to karaoke together after school?"

"Karaoke?"

"Well," Isshiki blinked and said seriously, "people like you rarely go to karaoke with your friends, right? However, at this time, you only need to sing a song to vent your chaotic mood.

Look, it will really get much better. This is Iroha-chan’s personal experience!”

"I might be more willing to believe you if you don't add the last half sentence. Don't you think adding the second half sentence will make people worried based on your credibility?"

"Then just get rid of it."

"What a casual woman." I shook my head.

However, this is indeed the first time I have gone to karaoke for this reason. As Isshiki said, it may not be a good enough way to relax.

"But since you said so, it doesn't hurt to try."

"Well, I will continue to go to the Service Department classroom this afternoon, so it means that I have been keeping an eye on you and want to let Miss Iroha fly. The impact will not necessarily be smaller than rejecting Xiaomu-senpai!"

"Hey, I got it, although the second half of the sentence is as unconvincing as ever."

--------------------------

It has to be said that sometimes girls' obsession is really scary. During the afternoon bickering battle with Yukinoshita, Isshiki showed off her amazing fighting power. She usually left after running out of words to explain, but this time she used almost...

The cheating method was a little arrogant and he stayed in the service club. In the end, Yukinoshita was probably too embarrassed by the situation and announced the end of the club activities early. If the argument with Isshiki continues, I think the minister may be suspicious of this club.

The meaning of the activity.

"This method can only be used once. If it happens a second time, based on Yukinoshita's assessment of you, you probably won't be able to enter the Ministry of Service classroom, even if you have a real commission." On the way out of the classroom together,

I reminded Isshiki, who had a blush on his face and was obviously very satisfied with his performance today.

"A special policy in a special period. I always feel that Kazuya would be very disgusted with this kind of karaoke, so he would run away midway."

"The flag is so high that I'm not a bad social phobia patient."

"So I have to keep an eye on you from beginning to end, so you don't have to worry even if the flag is set."

"I really don't know how I should evaluate you."

Yes, I don’t know how to evaluate Isshiki. I once felt that I knew her true thoughts better than most people who were deceived by her disguise. However, in front of me like this, she still wore it without fear.

The mask is such that, sometimes, I begin to wonder whether the true side of Isshiki that I know is also part of her mask. Or, in other words, she is not actually wearing a mask, but creates a mask in front of me.

It gives the illusion that she is actually wearing a mask. She enjoys this virtual and real process, but will choose to end this game-like play at unexpected times.

For such girls, maybe "reality" itself is also shaped by their own thoughts? Can the reality shaped still be called reality?

Isshiki and I were separated near the shoe cabinet. The boys' and girls' shoe cabinets were not in the same place. Even Isshiki's classmate, who is as shameless as today, was embarrassed to come to me with his shoes and stare at me. I don't know how much of a sensation it would cause if I put her down.

, but if she does this, I can encounter the next complicated situation.

When I opened the door of the shoe cabinet, a note fell down.

I suddenly remembered the joke I just made about "flag".

It would be nice if it was a curse letter from someone who hates me. At that moment, I suddenly thought like this.

However, when I saw the handwriting and content of the letter, I was able to understand that life is always more dramatic than you imagine.

The handwriting I have seen many times: After school, at the same place before, I will wait for you.

It's not signed, but I can't possibly know who its author is.

Therefore, this world is always full of the most malicious multiple-choice questions.
