After deciding to give up, he started to gain popularity

Shinomiya Kaguya looked at Fujiwara Chika who was picking and choosing in the lunch box with a smile on her face, as if she thought her behavior was very cute.

But for some reason there was no warmth in his eyes.

"Kaguya-chan, try this, it's super delicious!"

Fujiwara Chika naturally did not forget her good friend, so she quickly picked up half a piece of hamburger meat and handed it to Shinomiya Kaguya's mouth.

"Ah~~~"

"Even if you say so... it's delicious!" Shinomiya Kaguya's eyes lit up and she turned into a foodie in an instant.

"Is that so?! Although the hamburger meat with warm gravy is delicious, it's also great to have all the delicious taste of room temperature concentrated in the meat!"

The way Fujiwara Chika spoke slowly was just like a critic who was tasting food.

So Natsukawa Kanade once again looked at Kaguya Shinomiya's luxurious bento, which had taken all the hard work of the chefs, and thought that it was really pitiful that one day it would be outdone by ordinary ingredients.

But now he was sure that Shimonoseki and Fujiwara were indeed used to eating delicacies from land and sea, so they had a special liking for this kind of home-cooked dish.

Natsukawa Kanade himself didn't move his chopsticks much. He basically just ate a few mouthfuls of rice and the side dishes he exchanged from Shinomiya Kaguya, while all his hard work went into the stomachs of the two girls.

"Well, I'm satisfied!" Fujiwara Chika patted her belly with a happy look on her face.

"Hmm..." Shinomiya Kaguya was also very happy.

Although I don't want to admit it, Fujiwara Chika is indeed a human being this time, so I should just forgive her generously this time, Shinomiya Kaguya thought.

But even though they were enjoying their meal, the president hadn't eaten much yet, so it was her turn to take action!

"President, I'm sorry that I've eaten all your side dishes. If you don't mind, please use my portion..."

As a result, Kaguya Shinomiya also handed over her chopsticks.

Of course she had used it before, otherwise she wouldn't have handed it over on purpose, the purpose was of course to kiss!

She! President, you should be a little shaken this time!

"I can't. I don't have much appetite." Xia Chuan Zou shook his head and chose to refuse.

The stinging truths struck his heart one after another. It would be a lie to say that he could still eat. The fact that he did not break down on the spot showed that he had a very high psychological quality.

“Why is this happening…” Shinomiya Kaguya was immediately disappointed.

Fujiwara Chika looked at her, then looked at Natsukawa Kanade who was flipping through the documents, and immediately said earnestly: "President, it's wrong to be picky about food! Even if the food made by the chef of the Kaguya family is so bad, we can't waste food!"

Shinomiya Kaguya: “……!”

Natsukawa Kanade: “……?”

What is this talking about? Picky eaters? Unpalatable? Seriously? Are you sure you're talking to him and not Kaguya?

"Fujiwara...are you talking about me?" asked Natsukawa Kanade uncertainly.

Even though he knew from the beginning that Fujiwara Chika was a very weird person, he didn't expect her to be so weird.

Is it because of... Kaguya?

Natsukawa Kanade looked at Shinomiya Kaguya and found that she seemed a little depressed, so he understood.

"Indeed, being picky about food is a bad habit... Shinomiya, if you don't mind..."

"Of course not! Please enjoy it, President." Shinomiya Kaguya then became a little more energetic.

Natsukawa Kanade nodded, silently took her lunch box and started eating.

In his opinion, he lost his appetite because he knew the truth that Kaguya didn't like him but liked Shirogane, but in Kaguya's opinion, he probably felt a little guilty for eating his lunch box and leaving him with no food to eat.

After all, Kaguya is different from Fujiwara. She has a high self-esteem and will not accept help without reason, but she will feel at ease if there is an exchange of interests.

That's good, the world is complete without anyone getting hurt.

"By the way, Kaguya-chan, please tell me about your story quickly. Who is that person you care about?" Fujiwara Chika was as energetic as ever.

"That kind of thing is not important." Shinomiya Kaguya said without turning her head. She was busy admiring the president's elegant eating posture and had no time to chat with this stupid octopus head.

"How can he not be important?! He's the first boy Kaguya-chan cared about! This is the first time I've heard of him!" Fujiwara Chika persisted.

"That...ah, my nephew." Shinomiya Kaguya was still staring at Natsukawa Kanade, unwilling to look away. She looked so serious that it seemed as if she wanted to analyze and record his every movement frame by frame.

"Very cute; trying hard to learn to walk; never crying even when falling, very strong, will stand up and continue walking; often staring at me with a smile..."

"Wow! That's too much! That doesn't even count!"

"Why not? I do care about him."

"Ugh... it doesn't count anyway!"

"You are such a trouble..."

The two girls continued their intimate conversation, and it was difficult for Natsukawa Kanade to insert herself, and the eating was extremely painful.

Listening to Kaguya's obviously perfunctory explanation, he felt... his stomach ached.

017. This is not who I want

In a vacant classroom in Shuchiin.

"Let's start the first briefing now!" Kasumigaoka Utaha said loudly with her arms folded across her chest.

"Eri, please take note of the important contents of the meeting."

"Why me? You can do it yourself." Ying Lili pouted, looking reluctant.

It’s just Kasumigaoka, doesn’t she have any dignity?

"Because I'm borrowing the classroom, and I have some information about the junior you're interested in. Are you sure you don't want it?"

"Well! Let's make it clear in advance! I just think it's hard for you to borrow the classroom. There's no other reason. Don't get it wrong!" After hearing what Kasumigaoka said, Eriri stood up and walked to the podium.

"..." Kasumigaoka did not refute, but just nodded slightly.

To her, Eriri is actually not important at all. This guy is too weak to be a love rival, so there is no need for her to be on guard against her.

The key is that Eriri and Kato are good friends, and she really needs Kato's help, so she used "information about Natsukawa Kanade" to seduce this idiot.

"Kato, you have the closest contact with the younger generation, if possible, I hope you can provide some information about the younger generation."

"Well...actually, I just contacted Natsukawa-kun recently?" Kato Megumi raised her hand, indicating that she could not help.

"It's okay. You just need to tell me what you know about the junior." Kasumigaoka said nonchalantly, "Like habits, ways of doing things, etc. The more detailed the better."

Kasumigaoka has 100% trust in Kato Megumi.

Although Eriri is an ultimate trash, she was once pursued by her junior, so she might rekindle his love for her.

But it doesn't matter to Kato Megumi. No matter how well she knows his junior, no matter whether she likes him or not, it will not have much impact on her strategy for conquering Kasumigaoka.

Because Junior-kun...will never be "unfaithful" when it comes to a girl he likes.

Eating together, spending time alone together, helping to collect materials... no matter what the reason is, he can't be shaken. Even if he is invited for business, if he is in a situation where he is alone with other girls, he will inform the girl he likes in advance.

The perfect defense leaves almost no room for outsiders to interfere.

How could such a junior not be likable? She, Kasumigaoka Utaha, was no exception. After all, she was not a demon who liked to play with other people's feelings.

Perhaps before she realized her wrong feelings for Tomoya Aki she might have taken advantage of her junior, but since he enlightened her, she could no longer ignore his efforts.

The brave knight who saved the princess from the quagmire... He was deeply moved by Natsukawa Kanade's spirit of self-sacrifice.

But, he seemed very tired...

He was almost always available, prepared lunch for her on time every day, and would come to care for her when she was mad at that guy Aki Tomoya. He would not get angry even when she used him as a tool to vent her anger, and he would remember her preferences and protect everything about her...

She almost couldn't help but confess to Xiachuan Zou! However, she couldn't do it.

It's not because of any girlish modesty, but she feels that if she likes someone, she must show her true self.

The feelings that Junior had for her were of course real, she could sense it, but that kind of Junior was definitely not what she wanted to see.

He should be his own?!

If she felt sleepy, she could just sleep a little longer and there was no need to rush over right away; she wanted to enjoy lunch time with him, but it really didn’t matter what they ate, there was no need to spend time preparing a nutritious lunch box every day.

Being used as a punching bag? You should have rebuked her loudly! It was clearly her fault, why did she choose to endure it silently? !

Kasumigaoka couldn't understand why Natsukawa Kanade seemed so humble when pursuing her, as if... he had lost himself.

So on that day, she rejected Natsukawa Kanade's confession.

"I'm sorry, junior, I don't like you like this, please cherish yourself more..."

Although she didn't state the reason explicitly, she felt that her junior understood what she meant.

After all, you see, she often only needs to give him a glance and he can understand what she wants, so how could he not understand her obvious hints?

She was looking forward to the change of the younger generation with great joy, and expected him to see her as his true self, but she discovered a fact that she didn't want to face - the younger generation seemed to have given up pursuing her.

As for the reason... after rejecting Xiachuan Zou, she hadn't been able to be alone with him for several days. He no longer sent her messages or invitations, and when she looked over, she wouldn't find his affectionate gaze. She knew he was very sad, but she thought that perhaps he understood her thoughts and just needed a process of self-change.

Then she gave him this time.

Fortunately, although she still couldn't start a conversation, she was able to keep her eyes on the other person, and was also looking forward to the other person's changes.

However, a long time had passed since then, and even the sports festival had ended. She thought he would come back after shining, but she waited for a long time and still couldn't get any good news from him. In the end, she even... accidentally found him and Eriri walking in the corridor "talking and laughing"...

Is...is...you are unfaithful?

No... unforgivable! Being unfaithful is the worst!

He clearly said that he only liked her, but he ignored the girl he liked and got close to that golden-haired loser? It was like pointing at her nose and mocking her, "See, if you don't like me, naturally someone will like me."

Of course she couldn't stand such a scene, so she took the initiative to find Xiachuan Zou and wanted to ask him for an explanation.

At that time, she was naive and still thought that if the younger generation could be nicer and sincerely admit his mistake to her, she could forgive him.

The result was - being rejected.

"I'm sorry, senior, you have the right to refuse, and I also have the right to give up. We are over. Please don't contact me alone anymore. I'm afraid that Eriri will misunderstand."

She was stunned immediately.

What are you talking about, Junior? The right to refuse? She didn't refuse, she just... just wanted to see the real you!

"No, you misunderstood, I didn't..."

"Ah, Eriri! So you're here. I've been looking for you for a long time."

"Ugh! I told you not to yell my name like that outside! What if someone hears you? Idiot!"

"What does it matter? Doesn't this show that we have a good relationship?"

"Who, who is on good terms with you! Humph, I'm not going to pay attention to you anymore. I'm leaving."

"Wait for me..."

Just like that, Kasumigaoka stared blankly at the two people walking further and further away, until their backs were swallowed up by the dim light of dusk and disappeared from sight.

……

…………

………………

Unforgivable! I will never forgive you! Eriri!

It must be something you said to your junior that caused him to misunderstand her! Since you, the sneaky cat, were the first to make the move, don't blame her for being rude!

So, from then on, Kasumigaoka has been constantly obstructing their relationship.

Whether it's secretly guiding Eriri back to the right track of "childhood sweethearts", or openly destroying their time alone together, she will intervene whenever she has the chance.

Hateful? Despicable? A shrew? Whatever she was considered, it was fine! She just couldn't let Eriri take away her happiness!

With her unremitting efforts, the two of them finally had the tragic ending she had expected - Eriri rejected Natsukawa Kanade's confession.

Perhaps it was because she told Eriri, "Before pursuing you, my junior pursued me first, but failed." This caused the other party to misunderstand that Natsukawa Kanade was looking for a substitute for her.

It may also be that Eriri herself can't let go of her expectations for Tomoya Aki. After all, she is a firm "childhood sweetheart party".

But anyway, she achieved what she wanted.

What I should do next is to comfort my depressed junior and win back his heart in one fell swoop...

However, she simply couldn't do it.

It's not that she doesn't want to do it, but that she can't do it.
