The two continued rehearsals. When it was their turn to go on stage, they didn't perform vividly, but they were much better than the rest of their classmates. In particular, Kitty's skillful oral language and preoccupied performance even the night sky was unconsciously brought into the play.

As she recited Juliet's confession of love to Romeo, the moment – the same emotion seemed to be touched in the haze of the night sky, but as soon as she touched her, she quickly shrank back in panic.

Why?

- She doesn't know.

She only felt that once she went deeper, everything she had now would collapse!

She panicked and scared, pretending to bury her head deep in the ground like an ostrich, trying to escape the brain-consuming questions that could not be answered.

Now the night sky just wants to maintain the friendship with Kitty Hawk and reactivate his long-stagnant youth.

What does the future hold? She doesn't care.

You must know that the days of the neighborhood are the ones she has thought about day and night when she has been alone! Such days are enough, and she does not want to be greedy for more.

When their performance ended, the teacher took the lead in applauding warmly, praising and commenting with satisfaction and happiness. It was the first time for the students to see such a night sky, and it turned out that the taciturn iceberg also had an emotional side.

The two returned to their seats and spent the rest of their time watching the other students perform. They sat side by side, falling into awkward silence for a moment, as Kitty tried to find a topic.

"You just behaved so well. ”

"Hmm. ”

"Have you seen any of Shakespeare's other works?"

"Hmm. ”

“…… Which one do you prefer?"

"Well, Hamlet. ”

"This one, that, I like King Lear. ”

"Oh. ”

“……”

“……”

The two looked at each other speechlessly, and suddenly became cold.

The night sky was very embarrassing, and his hands were tightly clutching the corners of his clothes, and he was so anxious that he panicked.

She has never talked to others about the topics that her peers should talk about like this, and she doesn't know what to say all of a sudden.

Ah, what should I do? I don't think it will leave a bad impression on Kitty?!

The night sky's brain was running wildly, desperately trying to figure out how to start the conversation.

By the way, didn't I spend the night before yesterday playing heartbeat memories 7 that I said "I can practice how to talk to others", and I managed to make four friends. Now this situation is a piece of cake for me!

Not...... What should I say when I get along with my friends?

Recalling the dialogue in the game, Night Sky blurted out, "Kitty, do you have a favorite?DA☆ZE"

“…… Not yet. Kitty replied wordlessly.

"NA-YOU KNOW?AS LONG AS YOU SET THE PHOTO OF THE PERSON YOU LIKE AS YOUR PHONE WALLPAPER, IF NO ONE ELSE FINDS OUT, YOU CAN SUCCEED IN LOVE~~DA☆ZE"

He instantly understood, isn't this a dialogue from the heartbeat memory 7 fog and rain world, the legend is that if you take a wrong step, you will be killed by the harem scum route of the firewood knife! (1)

Suddenly, he looked at the remnant of the person in front of him with a strange gaze.

"Foggy and rainy world, night sky...... How many times have you been knifed?!"

"What, you know Kitty. Night Sky sighed in disappointment, and goosebumps ran through her at the thought of the unbearable experience she had had seen the night before.

"I, I'VE BEEN BADEND A DOZEN TIMES!"

"More than a dozen times!?night sky, you really fought for the harem. ”

"It's not a harem, I'm just going to be friends with them. Speaking of this, the gray eyes of the night sky suddenly became shining, "Fujibayashi Ming, Yukiko, Mi Sakura, Meifan, and Moon Gaze, they are all best friends worth making for a lifetime—— this is life!"

These words reminded Xiaoying of Xingna's declaration that "heartbeat memories are equal to life". These two people are really crippled in some ways!

"Although I was beheaded by a firewood knife, pushed off the platform and crushed to death by a train, suffocated to death by being fed highly toxic hydrochloric acid (2), being sawed off and locked up in the basement and starving to death, etc., it was all worth it!

This speech - a typical harem male protagonist speech.

"Poofha-" Kitty couldn't hold back her laughter anymore.

The night sky was embarrassed and pouted: "Hmph, what's so funny!"

"You're right. Kitty smiled and said, "Usually I am always silent in the classroom, but in the neighboring department, I judge two people." You see, you can be active in the classroom, so let's smile more in the future!"

"What, what are you talking about? "The night sky is embarrassed not to overdo it.

"I usually eat bento alone at noon, so let's eat together today, shall we?"

"-yes. The night sky writhed and nodded.

Kitty smiled knowingly.

☆。

At noon, the students in the classroom sat in groups and ate lunches together, and there was a pair that was particularly eye-catching, that is, Hasegawa and Mikazuki.

The two of them were chatting and eating, and while talking about the topic of couples in the class, the night sky suddenly asked.

"Kitty, do you like Hoshina?"

"Eh, why do you suddenly ask this?"

"Do you like it or not?"

"Hoshina, I've always regarded her as my sister. You haven't met my sister yet, have you?"

"Nope. ”

"Haha, she's also blonde and blue-eyed, exactly like Hoshinai when she was a child. ”

"So, what about your engagement with Hoshina?"

"Didn't you say it last time, this was set by my parents without permission, and I can't take it seriously. If I want to get married, I will definitely find someone I like. ”

"That's right. ”

"Night sky, you're a little weird, huh?"

"Hmph, Kitty, you won't understand. ”

Kitty fiddled with the grunt meat with chopsticks and looked thoughtfully at the girl in front of her. As if nothing had happened just now, the girl continued to eat the bento with her eyes down.

Why does the night sky ask this?

No, no, how is this possible. Kitty shook her head negatively.

I've only known her for two weeks, how can I like it so quickly, at most, I have a good impression of myself, plus I want to gossip. After all, it is too rare for someone to be married since childhood.

Thinking of this, Xiaoying couldn't help but secretly laugh at herself in her heart: A creature like a man, once she is paid more attention to by a girl, she will have the illusion that she likes herself, which is really too much self-awareness!

The two of them had their own thoughts, and they quietly finished their lunches face to face.

At the end, Night Sky said apologetically, "I'm going to a writer's signing in the afternoon, so I'm not going to the neighbor's department, help me talk to Hoshina." ”

"Hmm. ”

Kitty was a little disappointed, but nodded anyway.

Returning to his seat, he put away the empty bento box and put it in the desk drawer, and he could feel a lot of eyes from the classmates next to him from the afterglow.

This group of people...... It's so boring!

Today, there are only two people left in the neighborhood, and I don't know why Kitty is a little listless.

I don't know when the daily life of the neighborhood has become an indispensable part of his life.

Every day, I have the expectation of what will happen today, the hope that everyone will get to know each other better and more closely, and I hope that maybe I can really find a best friend who will accompany me for a lifetime.

Man, it seems, really can't survive alone.

A school is a small society, and the class is full of small circles or small groups.

In the past, Kitty never joined a club because she couldn't forgive a false relationship and was dismissive of her naïve peers, so she never joined a club and didn't want to socialize with people, even if she was hated, she wouldn't feel anything.

What's more, he needs to devote all his energy to the development of TT Company, and he has already done his best to deal with those elite bigwigs in politics and business, so how can he bother to be polite with his classmates in school.

Later, he slowly learned to treat others with a tolerant attitude, after all, few people can really endure loneliness like themselves!

For most people, huddling together for warmth is a necessary need, and the value of the existence of these small groups cannot be denied just because they need "fake things" to maintain interpersonal relationships.

Because if there is a conflict, everyone will get hurt. So everyone involuntarily hides their true thoughts and compromises in the most peaceful direction.

As an alien, what right do you have to laugh at and despise them?

They are the norm in this society!

(1) Pinch him on the campus and the king of a certain harem black and white mouse.

(2) H2O, the world's most terrifying highly toxic chemical drug. (Fog)
