I just want to live in peace, I refuse to fall in love

Chapter 23: On the morning of the academic assessment, Kawakami Masamune’s troubles!
The April morning wind was mixed with a bit of chill, and the day of academic assessment finally came.

Shirakawa Kazuya woke up Xiangzi after getting up in the morning. After stuffing the quilt back into the closet, the two of them brushed their teeth in front of the mirror together.

"Onisang is going to take the exam today. Are you confident that you will get first place?"

Xiangzi slept well last night and looked refreshed this morning.

"Of course, if you don't have confidence, you will lose half the battle!" Shirakawa Kazuya replied confidently.

A few more white dots appeared on the mirror.

Breakfast is very simple.On the plate were two fried eggs and a few slices of bread. The only thing that surprised Xiangzi was a small plate of shredded radish mixed with vinegar.

Maybe Onisan prefers to eat radishes?You should remember this and buy more radishes when you go grocery shopping in the future.

The two separated at the station. Shirakawa Kazuya got into the car first and found a seat in the back row.After waving to Xiangzi from the window, he put on his headphones, listened to English, and picked up an English vocabulary book to read.

He doesn't believe in the saying that 'it doesn't matter what the result is as long as you work hard'.Since it is an exam, of course there is a competition to win or lose. If you lose, you should reflect on it and try to win next time.If you win, you won't be in vain for the dark circles under your eyes caused by staying up late every night.

But then again, his dark circles seemed to become insignificant with the bonus of high charm value. He often received love letters from girls in his shoe cabinet.He was very distressed about this, fearing that one day when his charm would reach the sky-high level, he would open the shoe cabinet and find a love letter from a boy.

After sitting down in the back row by the window, he changed his vocabulary book into a Chinese book.The first subject in the morning is Comprehensive Mandarin. Now is a good time to take a look at something that requires mechanical memory.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the exam officially started.Shirakawa Kazuya patted his face. After getting the paper, he calmed down, adjusted his physical condition to the optimal level, and concentrated on answering the questions.But even though he was writing furiously all the way, he could barely finish answering the questions when he was finishing the papers, and there was no time to check them.

Before he could recover from his seat, the papers for the next exam were handed out again.In this academic evaluation, each subject test lasted about 10 to 4 minutes, and the total rest time was less than an hour.Of course, the amount of questions is not as many pages as his previous monthly test paper, only the front and back of an A[-] paper.

The exam continued like this until noon. After the foreign language test papers were taken away, Shirakawa Kazuya sat on his seat and moved his right hand to relieve the pressure caused by writing for a long time.

Nagata Chika came over, with a smile in her eyes, but no expression on her face.

"Shirakawa-kun, you are so awesome, you really got the right question." There was a blush on her face at this time, and she looked like she was a little shy because of talking to male classmates in the class.

"Hmm, eh?" Shirakawa Kazuya didn't react to her change for a moment, and it took a while before he remembered that she was this good girl in school.

After staying at her house for two days, I almost forgot to cooperate with her performance in school.Shirakawa Kazuya suddenly became very serious, "You're welcome, it's all Nagata-san who is smart, I just helped out with a little help."

Seeing Kawakami Masamune walking over, Nagata Chinatsu smiled slightly and said, "Then I won't bother you, Shirakawa-san." She turned around and joined the conversation with the girl next to her.

"Hey, you also think the test paper is a bit difficult. Me too! My head is spinning."

"Haha, Nagata-san is so cute. Do you want to go have lunch together?"

"Is that okay? I'm very willing. Let's go together."

With a shy expression on her face, Nagata Chinatsu left chatting and laughing with the girls.

"Kazuya! You have to help me!"

Kawakami Masamune fell on Kazuya Shirakawa's desk with a "thud".

"The test papers have been collected, and there is nothing anyone can do to change it now. Sorry, Kawakami, and try to take the test well in the afternoon."

"Who cares about that? What I want to say is another more important thing, which is my girlfriend! Girlfriend!"

Kawakami Masamune beat his chest and stamped his feet, wailing and shouting.

Is it important for my girlfriend to study?
Shirakawa Kazuya, who was a little confused about this, looked around and found that Megumi Ando was not here, so he asked casually, "By the way, don't you usually have dinner with your girlfriend? Why are you free to come to me today?" .”

"Actually, I want to save face. Ando-san is not yet my girlfriend! Although I told you last time that she and I ate on the rooftop, we actually ate together with a group of people! It was not a wife's bento at all! "

Kawakami Masamune's eyes were wide open, and his hands were stretched out in front of him, opening and closing, looking like a character in a funny anime.

"Um, so?" Shirakawa Kazuya was a little confused. "By the way, I actually found out later that Ando-san and I are very destined! God must have arranged for us to be together!"

"Yeah, keep going." Seeing that he couldn't get to the point for a while, Shirakawa Kazuya started to think about what to eat for lunch.

"She and I even took out the garbage together during our last duty!"

"Hmm."

Do you want to continue eating ramen?
“One time after class, she and I even met in front of the vending machine!”

"Hmm, then what?"

Sure enough, it's better to have a barbecue set meal. It's a hard day today, so let's eat more meat.

"Then we chose drinks with the same flavor, which means that she and I have the same taste. We will definitely not have to fight over what to eat every day after we get married!"

"Yeah, it's a barbecue, no, what happened next?"

"Later, when I was in the kendo club, Yamamoto-senpai found me."

"Eh? Aren't you from the boxing club?"

"That's not the point! I joined many clubs, basically just to join in the fun. In addition to these, I also joined the baseball club, hoping to enter Koshien one day! Hey, you know, wait until I enter Koshien back."

"That's not the point. Let's continue talking about Yamamoto-senpai. Let's talk as we walk. Hurry to the cafeteria. I'm going to starve to death."

As they talked, the two went to the cafeteria. Shirakawa Kazuya ordered a barbecue set meal at the window and sat down contentedly.

"So, that Yamamoto-senpai also likes Megumi Ando, ​​and he is a gangster in the school. He threatened you when you were in the kendo club?"

"That's more or less the case. It seems that he transferred to our school because he was a gangster in his original school. That night he blocked me on the road. Although he didn't do anything, his tone was very fierce and asked me to stay away from Ando-san. "

"Huh? This nature is a bit evil. What happened next?"

"Then I will definitely not give in. I will definitely stay with Megumi Ando on weekdays."

"Does Ando-san know about this?" Shirakawa Kazun also drank the flavor soup.

"She probably knew that Yamamoto-senpai had a crush on him, but he didn't say it clearly, let alone confess it. She couldn't just go over and tell others that you don't like me. As for me, I don't dare to confess it at the moment. I feel The time is not yet ripe.”

"Well, it sounds a bit difficult. What do you think?"

"I made an appointment with him to duel him during the kendo club practice this Friday! Whoever wins will be qualified to own Megumi Ando!"

Shirakawa Kazuya raised an index finger.

"First of all, Ando-san is not an object, nor is he a trophy for your bravery. I think your statement is inappropriate."

"Second, are you elementary school students? Using such a childish method? If you all like Ando-san, then express your feelings to her. Why are you having a private fight?"

"Well, what you said makes sense. Part of the reason why I agreed to use kendo to decide the outcome with the other party was to regain the situation. However, I do like Megumi Ando very much, and I started to like her from the time I sat at the same table with her. I was attracted to her!”

Kawakami Masamune lowered his head, a little embarrassed by what Shirakawa Kazuya said.He also realized that his words and actions seemed inappropriate.

"If you like Ando-san, express your feelings to her instead of telling me here. As for the duel, that's the third point I want to make."

Shirakawa Kazuya stuffed the last bite of barbecue into his mouth.

"Thirdly, other people in the Kendo Club are not aware of the conflict between you and just think it is an ordinary sparring. In order to prevent any accidents, I will go and have a look when the time comes."

　Let me give you a kick and wish everyone a happy new year.
