Return to school

The bus stopped.

"...Yusuke——!"

A gentle push came from the shoulder, shaking Kato Yusuke out of his sleep.

After opening his eyes, Yinglili appeared in front of him, showing an impatient expression towards him, with a hint of worry hidden in it, as if she was worried about his condition.

"Really, I keep calling you, but you can't even wake me up!" the girl complained.

"...I'm sorry, I slept very hard." Kato Yusuke rubbed his eyes and then rubbed his face.

"So, what's wrong?"

"What's wrong? You're already at school."

When Yinglili said this angrily, he looked out the window, and the familiar campus environment came into view.

At this time, many students had already stepped off the bus and were collecting their luggage from the driver.

"...You look really tired?"

"maybe."

Kato Yusuke murmured vaguely, and then joked in a relaxed tone, "Maybe it's because you were so comfortable around you, which made me feel more at ease, so I accidentally overslept."

"……real?"

"Ah, so thank you."

"……Won't."

Yinglili blushed first and turned her head to the side, then secretly glanced back, pouted and said:

"...Actually, you don't have to force yourself to say these words. I will accompany you when you are unhappy...if only occasionally."

"……Um?"

"Bi, after all! It is the president's obligation to take care of the physical and mental health of the members, and you also agreed to help draw the book. This is normal, right?"

"... Even if you ask me this, it's not easy to answer this question. Do you have to take care of everyone who joins the club in the future? That would be exhausting."

"Are you an idiot? Of course no one will join in the future. Having one troublesome guy is enough to make people exhausted. I don't want another one!"

Yinglili paused for a moment after saying this, as if she was remembering the unpleasantness in the past, and there was a hint of anger in her tone.

"Besides - I had no intention of recruiting people in the first place. I only set up a club to facilitate participation in the exhibition. It's not because you are so shameless that you have to join."

"Ah, I know, I'm sorry for causing you a lot of trouble." Yusuke Kato apologized.

"...Hmph, I don't hate the fact that you are very self-aware. I would rather say that this is the only thing you deserve to be praised for."

"Really? But everyone is like that."

"Eh?"

"Everyone is the same. Whether it is family or friends, everyone causes each other troubles and helps each other, and each walks freely on his own path in life."

"Why are you saying this suddenly? I don't understand what you want to express!"

"I mean, if you don't mind if it's me, we can cause trouble for each other, just like another family member."

A brief silence.

"...You are this person."

"Um?"

Ying Lili gently grabbed her right wrist with her left hand, looked up at him with a complex look, and then took a long breath.

"——Let's talk about that kind of thing later."

After saying that, he picked up his sports backpack and ran outside.

Kato Yusuke looked at her back, the expression on his face gradually calmed down and became calm.

After closing my eyes and taking a deep breath, some turbid air from the bus entered my nose.

Originally, he didn't want to sleep, but he didn't want anyone to discuss the topic of Sayu with him.

So since the bus left the service area, he had been sleeping with his eyes closed, but it seemed that he really fell asleep later.

'I don't know if I smiled properly just now.'

Kato Yusuke stood up from his seat while rubbing his cheeks, trying to make his facial muscles less stiff in case others asked him later.

Hui probably wouldn't take the initiative to ask about things in the service area, at least not on this occasion.

As for Shintiao Xiang... there probably isn't much to say.

Kano-chan would probably ask her in private, as he happened to have other things to discuss with her.

Although he said he didn't care, Xiao Kano should also want to be with him during this period. He can't be indifferent or passive. He must deal with these things.

The only ones that need to be considered are the Mangkhut brothers and Jia Zi. There is a certain probability that one of the three may ask questions.

If he shows hesitation, the person who asked the question will be hurriedly stopped by others, and finally the atmosphere will become tense.

In order to prevent this kind of thing from happening, Kato Yusuke must try his best to hide it with his normal posture.

In the final analysis, these are his problems alone, and he should not cause any more trouble to those who care about him.

Fortunately, the rest of today and tomorrow are rest days, so he can stay at home alone to sort out his mood and show a cheerful and calm side.

There are many other things to do after that.

Submit the manuscript to the Immortal River Comics Department, discuss the specific copyright transfer matters with Akane Benisaka, and hand over the purchased souvenirs to specific people in turn.

Mr. Yoshida, Nakano-senpai, Aunt Mina, Eriri's parents, Akane Kurisaka, Machida Enoko...and Shiba-senpai, etc.

In addition, you must fulfill your promise and give a serious reply to Senior Shiyu.

Just from what I can think of right now, there are so many things to do.

He couldn't stop, he had to keep moving forward until he had no time to look back on the irretrievable yesterday, and he was careful not to sink into the quagmire of darkness.

While thinking about the above, I walked off the bus with the things I bought.

Nakamura Masaru shouted loudly from a distance away from the bus:

"The school is open until seven o'clock in the evening. If you have something to go back to the classroom, remember to finish it before seven o'clock. That's it, dismissal. Thank you for your hard work these four days!"

"""Thank you, teacher--"""

Voices of thank you to the teacher were heard from everywhere.

After saying hello to my friends, I came to the baggage claim line and waited.

Yamaguchi and the others seemed to be discussing where to have a dinner together after disbanding, to bring an end to the good time of teaching outside the school.

Eiriri, who stayed with Kei and Kako for three nights, was also on the invitation list. After secretly observing his reaction, the person involved agreed.

Kato Yusuke stood in line silently, his thoughts began to wander aimlessly.

Sayu...how are you doing?

How is Sayu doing without his care?

When I realized it, I was already thinking about something involuntarily.

He still couldn't be that open-minded in his heart.

Then at least keep calm on the surface, Kato Yusuke thought.

"Here, little brother, this is your luggage."

"Excuse me, thank you."

Take the luggage from the driver, hang some shopping bags on the trolley, and place them above the luggage compartment.

I was just about to go to my friend’s place to meet--

"ah--"

Suddenly, there was a burst of exclamation from the other side of the school gate, which attracted his attention.

Looking up, a tall figure appeared in the field of vision.

Under the bright sunshine, her long straight black hair was swaying and fluttering gently in the wind.

The tall figure is wrapped in the autumn uniform of Toyosaki Academy, exuding an awe-inspiring and outstanding temperament. The surrounding light seems to be absorbed, and even the sunlight is distorted.

The other party was walking towards here wearing black uniform shoes and making a clicking sound of footsteps.

Frightened by the aura it exuded, the crowd spontaneously made way for them.

The dark blue single-breasted uniform draws elegant curves along the body, and the snow-white neck is very slender, echoing the fair skin.

The jet black and gorgeous hair is like a waterfall, as if it wants to completely suck people's eyes in. Under the dark black pantyhose with the same color as the hair, the pretty legs are straight and slender.

Under the spotlight, the girl walked lightly through the crowd and came straight to Kato Yusuke.

Her clear eyes stared at him, then she lowered her eyes gently and smiled.
