Gensei Yuka turned around when she heard his voice, and saw Shiina Kiri running in front of her, taking a small breath.
"What's wrong, Shiina-san?"
"this is for you."
Shiina Kiri took out the photo from her pocket and thrust it into Gensei Yuka's hand.
"Why...give it to me?"
Gensei Yuka hadn't reacted yet, and with zero social experience, she didn't know whether she should accept it now.
"Keep it for me temporarily. Oh, if you lose the photo in the future, I will be unhappy." Shiina Kiri said seriously.
It’s not safe to keep this photo at home. Kittens are very jealous.
"Ah good…"
She held the two corners of the photo with both hands, looking a little reserved and cute.
I don't know why, but she always finds it hard to refuse young people's requests.
Maybe she was afraid that he would be angry, or maybe she didn't want to see him angry.
As for which possibility it is, even she herself can't figure it out, or maybe it's both?
"And I'll give you the money back."
Shiina Kiri took out the 10,000 yen note, the one Yuka Gensei gave him.
"No." Gensheng Yuxia did not take it this time, but looked at him and shook his head.
"Why don't you treat me as your friend?"
The word "friend" is always used because it is something that girls cherish very much.
"But you said, let me return the money you spent as medical expenses."
Although her voice was small, she did not give in at all.
She is particularly stubborn about some things.
Excluding the admission fee, Shiina Kiri spent about 10,000 yuan at cat cafe.
According to the agreement between the two of them, Yusei Yuexia had to pay back five thousand to him.
But the cafe manager gave her one month's salary, so she paid him back 10,000 yuan.
She didn't want him to suffer.
"Okay, actually I lied to you." Shiina Kiri continued after a moment of silence. "The medical fee is only one thousand yen."
"ah?"
"What's wrong?" He didn't take it seriously, as if it was a small thing.
But……
"Why did you lie to me..." She looked down at her toes and whispered.
But the girl trusts him very much.
The story of a hero saving a beauty has long been a bad script, so bad that even the screenwriters are reluctant to use it anymore.
But when a girl is bullied to the point of despair, she really hopes that someone will appear like a hero and save her.
If it hadn't been for this incident, how could her inner world, which had been wearing a sensitive outer covering for more than ten years, be easily broken into?
Is it true that no one has paid attention to her in more than ten years?
Not entirely.
It was she who closed off all social interactions and chose to silently absorb nutrients underground.
It was the girl named Kobayakawa Kazuki who was believed by her in the name of Shiina Kiri.
The word friend is naturally a luxury, but the girl is so tired from living and has such low self-esteem. In fact, she does not need such luxury goods in her life.
Unless that person really makes her want to cherish him.
Only then would I clumsily make friends with him.
Be careful everywhere, afraid that he will be angry.
"Angry?"
Shiina Kiri felt her loss and felt her heart being pinched.
"Yeah." The girl nodded lightly with her lowered head.
She didn't know why she was sad, it was obviously just a small thing.
"Let me hug you."
She was obviously still angry, but the boy made very excessive demands.
Gensheng Yuxia took a small step back, but suddenly he grabbed her right hand and pulled her into his arms.
"don't want…"
Her protests were meaningless.
She was like a piece of wood in the boy's arms, too stiff to move.
Fortunately, Shiina Kiri just hugged her and let go.
"I'm sorry, I won't lie to you next time. Can you trust me again, Yuansheng-san?" He apologized seemingly sincerely.
"Really... you're not going to lie to me?" Gensheng Yuxia bit her lip and murmured after being silent for a while.
She didn't know why she was still a little unhappy, but she forgave him.
"OK."
Shiina Kiri thrust the ten thousand yen banknote into her hand, regardless of her resistance.
'In case I lie to you again, I'll try to coax you again.'
Actually, I don't want to bully you, after all, you girl don't even know how to write the word "resistance".
But I'm so greedy. I have a kitten at home and a wealthy sister in the store, but I still want to keep your chamomile as my own.
"Okay." The girl agreed softly.
"Well, I'll see you tomorrow, Gensei-san." Shiina Kiri waved her hand and turned to leave.
The girl looked up at his back until he disappeared around the corner, then she looked down at the photo in her hand.
In the photo, the boy smiles very naturally, like a warm spring breeze.
The spring breeze carried a seed that she had never seen before, and threw it in her heart. She looked around here and there.
But she couldn't find it no matter how hard she looked.
She sighed softly and put on the sensitive coat again, protecting her heart and the seed inside.
…
[Before the chamomile bloomed, the tips of the leaves were blown by the spring breeze. She gently closed the branches and leaves, but the spring breeze didn't care so much. 】

Shiina Kiri looked at the blue subtitles in his eyes silently. For some reason, he was not as happy as he imagined.
He broke into the heart of the girl named Yusuka Gensei and fought for the city and territory like a robber.
His record is remarkable.
This should be something to be proud of.
But he couldn't be happy.
Because that girl is like a fool, she doesn't defend herself at all.
He found in despair that she didn't even have the thought of defense.
She watched him robbing property in her castle. Instead of getting angry, she took out the rare treasure called "True Heart", patted him on the shoulder like a fool, and asked innocently and flatteringly.
"Do you want this?"
…
Shiina Kiri slowly walked back to the bus stop.
Kobayakawa Kazuki was still waiting for him on the platform, she had already collected her emotions.
She could see that Shiina Kiri was a little frustrated.
"What's wrong, Shiina-kun? Was your confession rejected?"
she asked curiously with a hint of a smile.
Shiina Kiri touched her nose, not knowing how to explain it.
"It's okay. You're only a sophomore in high school now. You still have a lot of opportunities. I think classmate Yuansheng also likes you a little bit. If you work harder, you can definitely catch her!"
Kobayakawa Kazuki patted him on the shoulder like a buddy, then made a fist with his right hand and pulled it down, making another cheering move.
Shiina Kiri. "..."
He recalled the ambiguity between the two on the bus just now and said awkwardly.
"I was in the car just now, uh, I'm sorry, the driver braked too hard and there was nothing I could do."
Kobayakawa Kazuki blushed a little, but waved his hand and said nothing.
"We are all buddies, what's there to say about such a trivial matter? Or do you like men?" she asked tentatively.
