A world only known by the God of Lost Love

"The past is the past, the present is the present."

Ren Suzuki shook her head and threw away the distracting thoughts.

"Now I am no longer the naive and ignorant junior high school student. So... let's use a more mature way to 'attack' this kid."

The work of intelligence gathering has been completed.

The specific strategy plan has basically been determined.

Next, it’s time to take action as an adult should.

At this moment, Suzuki Ren was full of determination.

........................

jingle--

When the bell rang, signaling lunch break, the students in the class immediately began to gather into action like well-trained soldiers.

After a week, the small groups in the class have been roughly divided.

For example, the top cash group with Ren Suzuki as the center and at the "top of the food chain"——

"Going to the cafeteria today too?"

"What should we do~ Although they have already brought a lunch box, if you sincerely ask them, they can't accompany you."

"The food in the cafeteria is surprisingly good. It's about time you tried it, right?"

"Hmm... If Suzuki-kun also orders food from the cafeteria, then I can consider it."

"No way, Suzuki seems to be interested in cooking as a hobby, and his skills are not inferior to those in the cafeteria."

"Wow, he is such an impeccable good man..."

The current students gathered around Ren Suzuki were as lively and noisy as usual, and the surrounding classmates also cast their eyes with admiration and yearning.

Ren Suzuki himself didn't dislike this kind of youthful and energetic social atmosphere, but today he had a reason to act alone.

"Sorry, everyone, I have something to contact my family at noon today, so I can't accompany you to the cafeteria."

Ren Suzuki refused the lunch invitation for a reason that they could neither verify nor interfere with.

The rest of the people had no doubts about this. Except for a few girls who showed a slightly regretful expression, everyone accepted Suzuki Ren's statement very easily.

After all, in countless chats last week, Ren Suzuki had taken the lead in explaining her family situation of "both parents are busy".

In this way, whether it is after school or on a day off, he can use "family reasons" as an excuse to get away in exchange for free time.

"There is no other way, so let's go first. If we go late, we will easily run out of seats."

"That's right... Then, Suzuki-kun, let's go first?"

"Well, see you later."

Suzuki Ren smiled and waved to them and watched them leave the classroom.

After the current group left the class, the other students began to move separately, some followed them to the cafeteria, and some stayed in the class.

As for Ren Suzuki's target, Ichisato Goto, after everyone chose the lunch spot, he silently picked up the bag containing the lunch and left his seat quietly...

However, Ren Suzuki did not choose to follow immediately. Instead, he sat quietly where he was, waiting for the passage of time...

………5 minutes later…………

"Well, it's almost there."

After the time was almost estimated, Ren Suzuki stood up, holding a lunch box in one hand and a mobile phone in the other, pretending to be on the phone, and walked out of the classroom.

Of course, there is no need to say more about the destination. After a week of observation, Goto Ichiri's route of action has already been deeply engraved in his mind.

Well... Although it sounds impressive to say it this way, Goto Ichiri's range of activities is actually only three places: classroom, toilet, and stairwell, so tracking him is a piece of cake.

It didn't take long for Ren Suzuki to successfully reach his destination.

And there, the target he was looking for was, as expected, huddled in the corner under the stairs, holding his half-eaten lunch box, and looking at his "uninvited guest" with a look of "horror" on his face.

"Ah...I'm sorry, Goto-kun, I didn't expect you to be here."

With an apologetic expression on his face, Ren Suzuki slowly approached Goto Isato and asked in a pleading tone:

"Um...do you mind if I hide here for a while?"

"Eh? What?! You said...hide...here?"

"Please, I'm just occupying this place for a little while and I won't disturb your meal."

Ren Suzuki pleaded:

"Goto-kun, just pretend that I don't exist... Of course, if you really don't want to, I will leave immediately."

"me……"

Faced with such a "groveling" Ren Suzuki, Goto Ichiri showed an extremely stunned expression.

For a time, countless thoughts began to swirl in her mind, but in the end, her unruly mouthpiece and overly nervous mood could only force her to spit out the simplest answer:

"Please...please feel free to..."

"Thank you very much."

After receiving a positive reply, Suzuki Ren suddenly burst out with an extremely "bright" smile.

"Goto-kun is such a gentle person."

"?!?!?!"

[The progress of the strategy has been changed, the current progress of the strategy is: 45%]

【Please keep up the good work. 】

Ren Suzuki's strategy officially begins here.

Chapter 4: One-click trigger delusion machine

After getting the consent of Goto Kazuri, Suzuki Ren really didn't bother her as he said.

He just sat quietly in the corner next to Goto Ichiri, holding the lunch box with her and eating without saying a word.

And in this extremely quiet atmosphere, Goto Ichiri's expression became calmer and calmer from being at a loss at first.

"thanks for treatment."

After finishing his lunch, Ren Suzuki closed the lunch box directly. After putting everything away, he stood up and said to Ichiri Goto in a very gentle tone:

"Sorry for disturbing Gotou-san."

"...and, not really."

Probably because the harmonious and quiet lunch atmosphere just made her relax a little, her response this time was obviously much faster than before.

"Why don't you... let you have lunch with someone like me... it's really... very -"

"I really like the feeling when I am with Goto-san. There is a reassuring and relaxing feeling."

Ren Suzuki interrupted Ichiri Goto's self-deprecation.

"If I have a chance next time...can I still come here to bother you?"

"W-where are you talking about!?"

Goto Ichiri quickly shook his head and said:

"Rather, it's my decision to regard this place as my refuge. Suzuki-san, you can come here anytime you want..."

"That means...this place will be our shared refuge from now on?"

Ren Suzuki smiled after hearing this.

"It's really fun. I'll ask for your advice from now on, Goto-kun."

"Take care of me..."

Goto Ichisato responded with a frown.

"Looking forward to your next visit..."

"Oh, I will come here to name you next time."

"Eh?!?!"

"Hahaha, just kidding."

Ren Suzuki smiled and waved her hand, then stood up and walked towards the stairs...

........................

"…………call."

When Ren Suzuki walked around the corner and stepped onto the stairs, Ichisato Goto immediately patted his chest and exhaled a long breath.

The soaring heart rate, disordered breathing, and the sweat on his hands all proved how nervous Goto Kazuri had just been.

She didn't even remember how she ate this box of bento just now. There was only one image in her mind at this time, which was Suzuki Ren sitting next to her quietly enjoying the bento just now, and the same rat-like look as when they first met. The refreshing taste of tailgrass mixed with sea salt.

Even though she had never interacted with her classmates, she knew that Ren Suzuki was a super handsome guy with a gentle personality and friendly attitude towards others.

There are almost no girls in the class who don't like him, and even the upperclassmen have come to the class to inquire about Suzuki-san.

Should I call it a gift or a punishment...

No matter how you think about it, being able to have lunch with such a top-notch live boy is an extremely lucky thing, but she was too nervous to say a complete sentence.

No, rather... because she acted too nervously, the other party inexplicably took care of her emotions!

Recalling his attitude when asking for his opinion just now, Gotou couldn't help but reach out his hand to cover his cheek.

"Goto Ichiri, how can you let that 'Suzuki-sama' treat you with such a low profile... He is willing to honor you and have lunch with you. You are the one who should be grateful!"

(Speaking of which, whether it was our first meeting or our conversation just now, I must have left a pretty bad impression on Mr. Suzuki, right?)

(Haha... I really want to find a crack in the ground and crawl in...)

Goto Ichiri couldn't help but think of this.

However, just when she was still feeling extremely remorseful about her uselessness in her mind, that gentle voice that seemed to come from heaven came from above her head again.

"By the way, Goto-san."

"Z—— is it?!"

(I bit my tongue!!!)

Goto Ichiri covered his mouth in panic and looked in the direction of the sound.

At this time, Suzuki Ren put his arm on the handrail of the stairs, stretched out his upper body and stared at her.

"Yes, what's the matter?"

"From now on...it would be great if I could finish introducing myself that I couldn't finish before."

"……Eh?"

"I'm going back to class first, see you later."

After saying that, Ren Suzuki waved her hand with a smile, and then disappeared from her sight, followed by the footsteps.Goto Ichiri was left sitting there alone, with the words he just said echoing over and over in his mind.

Eh?

eh eh?

Just... what happened?

"Why... would he know that I didn't finish my self-introduction..."

Goto Ichiri murmured.

"Also... why does he want to hear it all... Is there any value in my self-introduction worthy of him hearing it all...?"

Random thoughts flooded into her mind again.Under the dual influence of curiosity and paranoia, in the chaotic sea of ​​thoughts, an idea so bold that she almost screamed suddenly emerged at the top -

(Is it possible... Suzuki-san is... interested in me?!)

Of course, this audacious delusion was directly denied by Goto Kazuri the moment it appeared in his mind.

Because no matter how you think about it, it’s not possible.
