After deciding to give up, he started to gain popularity

"Oh, who made someone so timid that she dared to think but not to do it? I was just kind enough to demonstrate it to her."

"You, you, you... no matter what, it's better than a shameless cow monster like you!"

"Cow monster!" Kasumigaoka Utaha frowned slightly, and just as she was about to retaliate, she suddenly thought of a better way.

"Oh, so Sawamura-kun is so concerned about that? If you say something nice to me, I'll tell you how to get bigger."

"I don't want to pay attention to you. It will sag sooner or later anyway!" Ying Lili said sourly.

She would never give in to this fat woman named Kasumigaoka. She was just two useless pieces of fat, so she wouldn't envy them!

"Drooping..."

Now, Kasumigaoka Utaha could no longer hold back.

Do you know that this is a big taboo for girls with big breasts? ! It is something you cannot even listen to!

"Just a golden loser!"

"Cow monster!"

……

"President, is it okay to leave these two alone?"

"Ah? Oh, they are just friends, it's okay." Xiachuan Zou suddenly realized that the "President" was calling him.

Although I have resigned, I have not made it public among students, so it is normal that not many people know about it.

But this side... is a scene that I never get tired of watching, thought Natsukawa Zou.

Two girls are arguing, and they are both very cute and beautiful girls. No matter who it is, I think they will stop and watch, right?

The reappearance of the familiar scene reminded Natsukawa Kanade of the happy times he had in club activities, but unfortunately they could never go back.

After both of them had almost exhausted their strength, they finally chose to call a truce at the same time.

"Well... I'll let you go for now..."

"Yes, you are not able to do it anymore?!..."

"You, you can try again..."

"I……"

"Okay, okay, you two, if we continue talking, the lunch break will be over. You don't want to go to the afternoon class on an empty stomach, do you?"

Seeing that the war between the two was about to break out again, Xiachuan Zou hurried forward to persuade them.

"Really? You're already a high school student. You should at least consider your stomach a little bit, right?"

And his stomach, Natsukawa Kanade thought.

He was forced to stay here and watch the two of them quarreling back and forth.

Although it's quite interesting, it's true that you'll feel hungry.

"I'm sorry, junior, I made you laugh..."

Compared to the recluse who prefers to stay at home, Kasumigaoka Utaha has obviously better physical strength and has almost recovered now.

"If you don't mind..."

"Don't steal..."

"Shut up, you idiot loser who can't even win an argument!"

"Gu..."

"If you are free, come and have lunch with me..." Kasumigaoka's pretty face was flushed and there was a trace of sweat on her forehead due to the fierce battle just now.

In her heart, she had already begun to imagine the wonderful scene of the two of them having lunch together. It would be best if she could take the opportunity to repair their relationship and then do this and that together...

"I'm afraid that won't work, sorry."

So the younger generation is really gentle... huh? Wait?

"Youngster...what does this mean?" Kasumigaoka was suddenly stunned.

What happened? Why did they reject her? Didn't they say they were "single" after being rejected by someone else? They shouldn't have rejected her request, right? Could it be that... Kato lied to them?

"Well, may I ask why?"

"Why? Well... should I say I want to be alone for a while?" Natsukawa Kanade thought for a moment and replied.

It was too tiring to play someone else, and from now on he wanted to be himself.

The first step is to learn to eat alone!

Xiachuan Zou inexplicably felt a little ashamed, as if he was a child who had just learned to eat by himself...

"A... person? Not going to accompany a girl?"

"..." Xia Chuan Zou frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Is there nothing else in his life besides spending time with girls?

But thinking about it carefully, it seems that he has always been like this before... Ahem, anyway, people will change! And he is in the stage of transformation now!

"Well, that's all in the past..." Xiachuan Zou touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.

Seeing that Kasumigaoka Utaha hadn't responded, he spoke again: "Senior, if you don't have anything else, I'll leave first?"

"..."

There was still no response from Kasumigaoka, so Natsukawa Kanade stopped waiting and simply walked away.

"Hey, Kasumigaoka, what's going on? Why did Kanade suddenly leave on her own?"

Eriri, who had recovered her strength at the side, saw that the conversation between the two had ended, so she came over and asked.

Just now, because she was afraid of hearing with her own ears that Natsukawa Zou agreed to Kasumigaoka, she had been hiding nearby, thinking that she would have to follow the two of them regardless of her face, and she must not let the fat woman and Zou be alone.

Anyway, Kanade will definitely forgive her, and as for Kasumigaoka... a shameless thieving cat has no right to comment on her!

"Eri, something big seems to have happened..."

Eriri: “…What?”

008. Hikigaya in action

When a person rejects your confession but is still willing to be close to you, it is definitely not because he regrets rejecting you, but because he has felt enough benefits from you and wants to continue to enjoy such preferential treatment.

This is true in most cases, with few exceptions.

As for people like Kasumigaoka and Eriri... perhaps because they lack the love and care of true friends, they will cherish the hard-earned friendship even more - that is, they regard Natsukawa Kanade as a very good friend and do not want to lose this friend.

But no matter what they think, Natsukawa Kanade has the right to refuse, and he does not need to feel guilty or uneasy about it. Just like Kato said that day, it is time for him to learn to pay attention to his emotions and learn to be willful, instead of living cautiously every day and living in other people's world.

……

There weren't many people in the cafeteria. The students of Shuchiin seemed to prefer to bring their lunch boxes to school, and then gather in groups of three or five somewhere to chat about topics that interested each other.

Some sharp-eyed people saw Natsukawa Zou and couldn't help but feel curious about why the student council president was suddenly interested in visiting the cafeteria alone. They all speculated whether there was any new policy to be implemented so he came to check it out.

But despite being curious, no one came up to say hello.

The majestic image that he created on a daily basis worked.

"So what do you want to eat today?"

Looking at the menu on the vending machine, Natsukawa Kanade fell into deep thought.

The three ultimate problems that have been bothering mankind since the beginning of their existence: what to eat today?

And what to eat tomorrow? And what to eat the day after tomorrow?

The chefs at Shuchiin Academy are all top-notch chefs hired at high salaries, and they know a myriad of different types of dishes.

In the past, when he prepared lunch boxes, he always considered what his heroines liked to eat and always ignored their own feelings. Now, when he was asked to choose according to his own heart, he was in a dilemma for a moment.

"If you really don't know what to eat, just choose a simple yakiniku set meal."

The suggestion that suddenly appeared in his ear attracted Xiachuan Zou's attention. He turned around and saw a completely unexpected person.

"Hikigaya...Hachiman?"

A decadent boy who is known as the "Great Sensei" and looks like a loser with dead eyes but is a handsome man once he covers his eyes suddenly appears.

"Hey, hey, stop looking at me like that, it makes me feel like I'm accidentally meddling in other people's business..."

"No, how could that be? It's really a big help." Xia Chuan Zou smiled.

Since leaving the service, the two have basically not seen each other again.

Maybe I had bumped into him by chance before, but most of the time he was in a hurry and didn't pay much attention to his surroundings, so this kind of close interaction was almost nonexistent.

"Good afternoon, Hachiman."

"Hmm... what, what are you doing? Why are you suddenly smiling so maliciously..."

"It's just a greeting. There's no need to be so wary of your former club friends, right?"

Faced with Hikigaya Hachiman's disdain, Natsukawa Kanade was not annoyed. He knew without thinking that the other party was shy because he was called by his name. After all, he knew Hikigaya too well.

"..." Hikigaya did not refute, but looked at Natsukawa Kanade with a more or less resentful look.

Ever since this guy resigned from the club, the "absolutely correct" Yukinoshita has obviously become abnormal. Not only has his sharp tongue increased more frequently, but his way of doing things has also become more extreme. Both he and Yuigahama have suffered a lot because of this.

However, Natsukawa Kanade could just leave but he couldn't, so he lived in fear every day under the tyranny of Minister Yukinoshita. Now he didn't even dare to speak loudly!

"I think you should make it up to me! At least...at least buy me a cup of coffee!"

"Compensation?" Natsukawa Kanade was stunned. Although he didn't know what Hikigaya was talking about, he had no problem treating him. "As for coffee... I remember you like MAX, right? What about lunch? What do you want to eat?"

"Lunch? I was planning to have a yakiniku set meal..."

No wonder the grilled meat set meal was recommended to him right away, Natsukawa Kanade thought.

"Okay, then two yakiniku set meals." Without giving Hikigaya a chance to refuse, Natsukawa Kanade quickly placed an order on the vending machine, then took out two meal tickets and handed them to Hikigaya.

"You go get the food first, I'll go get some coffee."

"Eh? I didn't say lunch too..."

"If you refuse again, you won't have time for lunch. You don't want to be late for the afternoon class, do you? How about just consider this as my compensation to you?" Natsukawa Zou put his knowledge into practice.

He always had a way of dealing with Hikigaya.

"Hmm..." Hikigaya didn't say anything else this time.

But I was muttering in my heart, damn this real man, after not seeing him for a while, the personality of this humanoid self-propelled charm machine hasn't changed at all, it has even become stronger!

This means he can no longer complain with a clear conscience! What a despicable man!

However, Natsukawa Kanade had already walked far away and could no longer feel Hikigaya's resentment.

Before long, the two of them gathered together with their meals and drinks, found a relatively secluded seat to sit down, and began chatting.

"Is the club developing smoothly?" After thinking it over again and again, Xia Chuan Zou really didn't know what to say. He thought that after all, the two of them had been in the same club, so he might as well start the topic from this aspect.

"..." Hikigaya was speechless for a moment, thinking, shouldn't he ask Yukinoshita directly about this matter? He is just a small member, what can he know?

"It should be going smoothly, right? The school even approved the activity funds..."

As he said this, Hikigaya glanced at Natsukawa Kanade.

It goes without saying that this must be the other party's masterpiece. After all, their club is not actually formal. Including the original Natsukawa Kanade, there are only four people, which does not meet the standards for establishing a club.

In order for the company to survive and receive social activity funding, Natsukawa Kanade must have made a great effort behind the scenes.

As a "yin character", Hikigaya actually hates interacting with the current guys, but he does not reject Natsukawa Kanade, and can even be said to admire him a little.

Easy to talk to, hardworking, high EQ, a bit handsome, enthusiastic but not too disturbing to others... Ugh! Damn humanoid self-propelled charm-emitting machine!

"I always feel like you are saying bad things about me in your heart?" Xia Chuan Zou sighed.

The resentment in his heart was about to overflow from the screen. He couldn't remember doing anything to make Hikigaya look like this?

"It's your illusion." Hikigaya certainly didn't admit it. Could he really say something like "After you quit the club, I was forced to become the target of bullying for Yukinoshita to vent her emotions"?

It was like he was maliciously bringing the two people together and assisting them. He never participated in such things and it should be said by the parties involved themselves.
