After deciding to give up, he started to gain popularity

And the most important thing is... after the confession, this innocent maid will no longer need to be called over every day to be a love guide!

"Miss, I am sure that Master Xia Chuan is in love with you now. You don't need to consider other situations."

"Even so! If my Lord were to confess his feelings to me... wouldn't I be unable to hold my head up high for the rest of my life?!"

"..."

But if you don’t confess, you won’t even have a chance to look up for a second!

Hayasaka sighed, and felt inwardly that her eldest daughter's strong-willed personality was really troublesome.

What do you mean by looking up or not, what do you mean by you are on top and I am on the bottom, that's all empty talk! The best way is to hold it tightly in your hand first! Isn't it better to leave the rest to the adjustment later?

Really...if she takes the place, the child will be able to help out! Who cares who goes first or last?

But the good news is that although Miss Kaguya has always looked like a small fry, she has at least admitted that she likes Master Natsukawa, otherwise she would really have collapsed if there had been no progress for so long.

"In other words, as long as you hear Master Natsukawa say in person that he likes Miss Kaguya, you will be able to face your heart and accept Master Natsukawa?" Hayasaka Ai supported her chin with one hand and began to think about how to make a plan.

"Eh? Um... well... if the President said so in person... I might consider it..." A small flower of love seemed to have grown on Kaguya Shinomiya's head, and she fell into her own fantasy.

"Shigong, I like you..."

"President..."

"Four Palaces..."

"President!"

"Miss! Please listen to me carefully!" Hayasaka Ai shook Shinomiya Kaguya's shoulders frantically, bringing her back to reality.

We were discussing the strategy plan when he suddenly started to go crazy. What happened?

"Hmm, it was so close..."

"Miss, do you still want to listen to my plan?"

"You, just say it..."

"Anyway, let's do this first, then that..."

“Oh oh oh…” Shinomiya Kaguya nodded repeatedly, with a shining light in her eyes.

She felt that the future for herself and the president was bright.

039. Just a black-haired female passerby...

the next day.

Shuchiin Academy.

It's time to go home from school.

In the window seat in the last row of Class 2, Grade 3, a shy girl in black pantyhose was lying on the table, breathing slightly...

Kasumigaoka Utaha, a best-selling light novel writer who writes under the pen name Kasumigaoka Utako, was described by some in the industry as a talented author capable of writing contemporary traditional literature, but for some reason she went astray.

However, in response to such comments, Kasumigaoka herself has this attitude: What does it have to do with me?

Dull, uninteresting... This world is full of superficial, boring things and people. It is impossible for her to calmly accept the changes in reality. She has ideals and ambitions, and she will only be herself and will not compromise no matter what.

"Kasumigaoka-san, someone's looking for you."

“……” Kasumigaoka Utaha rubbed her sleepy eyes and yawned.

After having a great night out with her junior the day before yesterday, she couldn't suppress her inspiration anymore. She stayed up until midnight yesterday to put all her thoughts into words, and now she is very sleepy.

Whoever dares to disturb her rest, she will treat him well...

"Yukinoshita... Yukino?" Kasumigaoka was slightly stunned.

I thought it was some stupid male beast in heat who wanted to say some obscene words, but it turned out to be a black-haired female passerby.

"It's me, Senior."

"What's the matter?" Xia Zhiqiu asked indifferently.

It was impossible to ask her to smile back. Not to mention the fact that he disturbed her rest, she couldn't be kind to him just because he was one of the people who had stolen her treasures.

"I want to talk to you about... Natsukawa-san's matter."

"Younger generation's business? ... Come with me."

The two found a more secluded place and began their formal conversation.

"If you have anything to say, please keep it short. I'm busy."

"It won't take me long." Yukinoshita shook her head. "As for Natsukawa-san... I want to know what kind of person he is."

"What kind of person is he?" Kasumigaoka was a little surprised, but soon chuckled and said, "Shouldn't I know very well what kind of person you are?"

"..." Yukinoshita remained silent. If she really knew, she wouldn't have come to ask Kasumigaoka.

"Senior, do you still remember how you cheated on me? How about using that in exchange?"

"Cheat you?"

Kasumigaoka was slightly stunned, but soon remembered what Yukinoshita was referring to.

"I didn't lie to you. I just said, 'My junior made excessive demands on me and never bothered me again after being rejected.' Maybe you misunderstood me at the time, but now I should be able to understand what I said at the time, right?"

She is the proud Kasumigaoka, so she disdains to use deception to hinder other people's love. At most, she would induce them with words. If she is really affected... it is only because she does not trust her juniors enough.

Just like Eriri, Yukinoshita in front of her... and her past self.

"Senior, are you trying to shirk your responsibility?"

"..." Kasumigaoka frowned and wanted to just walk away and ignore her.

"Forget it, just think of it as me being kind. If you have anything you want to know, just ask me."

"Yeah." Yukinoshita nodded, thought about it and decided to change the way of saying it that Kasumigaoka could accept.

She might not be willing to simply reveal information, but if it is related to herself, she would surely be unable to resist showing off, right?

"Natsukawa-san...did he do anything for you when he was courting me? You don't have to say much, just the thing that left the deepest impression on you."

"Does this have anything to do with what you want to know?"

"Is this difficult?"

“…You are really difficult to deal with.” Kasumigaoka sighed.

It was okay to tell the other party, after all, it was something that made her very proud.

As memories of the past came flooding back to her, her eyes gradually became filled with affection.

"If I have to say it, it's because I'm debating with countless people..."

It's okay to say that there was another purpose from the beginning. In fact, Kasumigaoka knew very well that her junior didn't like her book "Love Metronome" as much as she imagined. It was just because he liked her and loved her so much that he was willing to speak up for her.

This is enough.

After all...how many people can afford to participate in debates online all the time for the person they like, and not sleep all day and all night?

Even if there was an ulterior motive, it made her very happy.

“……” Yukinoshita nodded.

Kasumigaoka's expression couldn't be faked, so the matter was very clear. Kasumigaoka had misled her at that time - because the other party liked Natsukawa Kanade.

Out of jealousy or unwillingness, when she came to him, Kasumigaoka misled her, making her think that Natsukawa Kanade was a hopeless scumbag and a playboy.

But she really doesn't care about that.

If it was just promiscuity, she wouldn't care at all, because she believed she could change the other person. What she cared about was whether the other person actually loved her...

Yukinoshita Yukino has never felt love.

Although we can get a glimpse of it from literary works, it is not her own feelings after all. If she wants to determine her true feelings, she still has to rely on her own heart.

She could naturally feel that Natsukawa Zou treated her specially, but she was not sure whether that meant he loved her.

Identity, or a common hatred of the enemy? It seems more accurate to say that they are comrades-in-arms; trust, a united front? If that were the case, why would he be more willing to believe Hikigaya Hachiman?

Natsukawa Kanade gave her a very strange feeling, as if he was trying to please his superiors, or to gain recognition, or more like... longing to be needed and expected.

But either way, he put himself in the lowest position... just as she once longed for her mother's recognition.

Therefore, she couldn't be sure whether Xiachuan Kanade's feelings for her were because of love or because they were close because of their similarities. At the same time, she herself was also very confused and couldn't be sure whether her feelings were sympathy or something else.

So she rejected the other party's confession, "Sorry, I'm not ready to date yet..."

Because we are not prepared, we cannot make a judgment.

But after that, Natsukawa Kanade resigned from the club.

She wanted to blame him for leaving without saying goodbye and being cowardly, but when she thought about it, she was no exception. She could not get her mother's approval, so she chose to escape and moved out alone.

She couldn't get over the depression in her heart, so she focused all her energy on club activities, as if that would help her relieve her worries. However, the result was that innocent club members were implicated.

She didn't mean to do that, but after she came to her senses, she realized that she had done something wrong...

My thoughts return to the present.

"Second question, has Natsukawa ever dated a senior?"

"That depends on what your definition of dating is..."

"That is, there is nothing more..." Yukinoshita nodded and bowed slightly, "Thank you, senior, that's all I want to know, sorry for bothering you."

"..."

Watching Yukinoshita Yukino's back disappearing in the stairwell, Kasumigaoka Utaha remained silent for a long time.

The constantly shaking thighs revealed the owner's inner restlessness.

"How many girls have you provoked, you idiot, you playboy?"

Maybe she could still comfort herself before, thinking that Eriri was no match for her, but now there's a black-haired female passerby with a conflicting personality with her, and who knows how many slutty vixens who are secretly in love with her junior... Aren't there too many opponents?

The only thing to be thankful for was that, including the black-haired female passerby, she had not seen anyone who could compete with her in this regard. Kasumigaoka Utaha pressed her hand against her chest, looking slightly relieved.

040. Where do these passers-by come from?

In the bookstore, sitting in a seat in the coffee area, I was flipping through the most popular light novel I had just bought, but I couldn't muster the heart to read it carefully.

Not to mention reading it carefully, I didn't even take a single word to heart.

I originally wanted to go to the bookstore to change my mood after school, but I didn't expect that my mood would get worse.

Now, Xiachuan Kanade's mind is filled with the scene of the angel crying last night.

He could vaguely sense the reason for her tears. As for the underlying reason, perhaps it was because the angel really cared about him as a friend and didn't want him to judge her like that? Or was she feeling guilty for her past gaffes?

Maybe it's both, but for the current Natsukawa Kanade, she no longer cares about how Shiina views her. She just hopes to get along with her as an "equal friend" and let things take their course.

So he said, "You thought I was a loser back then, too?" He originally just thought it might help ease the conflict, but it ended up going to the other extreme...

Of course I have some regrets, but I am more thinking about how to restore the friendship.

Even though Shiina kept apologizing to him yesterday, as if he was the one occupying the main position, he actually knew very well that the more this was the case, the more he had to take the initiative to contact Shiina.

To hug her, to let her feel relieved, to let her know that she was not hurt by her past words, otherwise he would not even be able to detect that she might have fallen into autism...

So why wasn't his mind as clear last night as it is now?

Hindsight? But he doesn't want such ability at all!

"..."

Natsukawa Zou, who was immersed in self-blame, was completely unable to notice that not far behind him, there were two sneaky dark shadows constantly observing him.

It was Kaguya Shinomiya and Ai Hayasaka who had been following Kanade Natsukawa all the way.

"Hayasaka, are you sure this method will work?" Kaguya Shinomiya looked a little worried.
