Although Kazuya's words are relatively plain, but as a hero who has just won the national championship for Toyonosaki, the current Kazuya's prestige value is not covered, so, although I feel a little disappointed, a few boys still smash their mouths and leave.

Of course, a few necessary words of ridicule are indispensable before leaving.

"Hey, Kazuya, I said you're really a bit too protective of treasures, right? Defend Kato-san like this, and you're not afraid that your girlfriend will be jealous? Sawamura-san is the eldest lady, so you should protect her more! ”

"Don't talk nonsense, the relationship between Ying Li Li and Kato is good, I see that this is still a good thing, if Ying Li Li sees you pestering Kato like this, I don't know what she will do! At that time, it may not be a simple blast for you, and it is possible to be despised by others in school and finally unable to gain a foothold, with that guy's ability. ”

"You're kidding, aren't you? Miss Sawamura seems to be a terrible type of person you are talking about! Of course, for Kazuya's remarks, which were half the truth, half with a little intimidation, the other party just laughed, "But you also have a sense of saying that, right?" Because that's probably what happened after Sawamura-san's speech and your situation! ”

"Should it be said that Ying Lili's good image in school is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people?" Kazuya secretly complained, "Although he is a goddess-level figure in school, but in the minds of others, I haven't estimated such popularity before!" ”

"Okay, okay, you guys don't have to say a few words," However, he didn't want to ask further, he just continued to drive these guys who were a little bit inch-inch, and said, "Also, the way you talk to girls or something, the way you use is too old-fashioned, right?" If you really want to have a good relationship with Kato, then step by step, as soon as you come up, invite other girls to karaoke or something, you have watched a few frivolous TV series and really think of yourself as the male protagonist! ”

"Wow! And also a pair of male protagonists with the same emphasis on speaking! ”

"But to be honest, Kazuya is really like the male protagonist, he has excellent studies, superb ball skills, and such a beautiful girlfriend-"

"--And then at this time, I still have a sense of justice to defend my beautiful girl at the same table.,How can you fix it.,Why are all good things on your shoulders!"

Of course, the boys who accosted Kato actually didn't have any malicious intent, and after Kazuya stopped them, they didn't want to continue to do anything. However, after the relationship between Kazuya and Yingli was known to the public, the ridicule that was often heard still made Kazuya a little embarrassed.

"Ahem,If I'm the hero,,Then I guess you can't find a worse male protagonist than me.,The real troublesomeness,You don't know!" Kazuya is definitely not covering himself up when he says this, but a true portrayal of him in the recent past, of course, this kind of words, routinely, are also considered to be the kind of words that cover up his real happy life.

"Look, you see, you're showing off again, right? But we don't have much room to communicate with the current charge, so be it! Kazuya, you just take good care of your cute tablemates - why didn't we find Kato-san before?,What kind of magic did you use to hide Kato-san, right? ”

That must be her own special ability, hey!

Kazuya complained helplessly in his heart. However, somewhat fortunately, these guys ridiculed and ridiculed, and finally left with a sense of humor, allowing Kazuya to talk to Kato alone.

However, what is a little surprising is that the atmosphere between Kazuya and Kato unexpectedly fell silent.

Under normal circumstances, Kazuya, who drove away the boy who "harassed" Kato, should say "Are you okay?" in a chic way? Then he added in an angry tone, "These guys are so unreasonable, next time you catch them, you have to teach them a good lesson." ”

However, Kazuya was a little embarrassed to find that he was talking and laughing with the boys around Kato just now, which made him a little embarrassed when he was about to say such righteous words.

Kato on the other side probably felt the same way, understanding that those voices were not too malicious, and seeing the conversation between Kazuya and them just now, Kato couldn't directly say "Thank you for helping drive away those flies", so the atmosphere fell into a somewhat embarrassing dull state.

"Well, thank you all in all." In the end, Kato couldn't see such an atmosphere and took the initiative to break the deadlock.

"Ah, that, it's nothing, anyway, hasn't Kato's popularity in the class increased a lot recently!" Kazuya expressed his gratitude to Kato for this approach, and hurried to reply.

"Eh, I don't know exactly!" Kato frowned and said.

"But you see, in the past, you used to be invited to karaoke, and it was difficult to even be noticed by people other than me, right? That's the proof that your popularity has increased! ”

"Well, Aragaki thinks so, right?" Kato didn't care very much about it, and Jean Kazu was also a little distressed.

"Hey, Kato, that's a big change! Please don't look like you don't care, okay? This means that you have changed from the obscurity before to the girl who everyone will recognize your charm, and the following clumsy or much more advanced pick-ups will appear more frequently! Don't you feel anything about this situation? ”

"So, what do you think Aragaki should feel," and although she must have unexpectedly increased her popularity somewhere, Kato still looked dumbfounded when answering this question, and she only replied blandly in the face of Kazuya's emotional culture, "It would be better to show a kind of 'Ah, I also experienced the attention of Sawamura-san, so happy, so excited'?" Or is it better to say, 'Oh, that's a nuisance, wouldn't it be a waste of time to deal with these pesky boys?' ”

"I said you, it's not an emotion you think you should have, it's an emotion that comes naturally to you, kid!" Kazuya shook his head helplessly, it seems that even if he unexpectedly increased his presence and popularity, but in front of Kazuya, Kato is still the girl who is so calm that people feel powerless to complain.

"But I really don't have any other emotions other than feeling that I can't cope with these boys?" Kato tilted his head and said helplessly, "You must let me imagine an emotion or something, to be honest, I'm also very embarrassed!" ”

"No, 'can't handle boys', that's your mood right now, so you're still a little irritable, gotit!" Kazuya said as if he had discovered a new continent, which also made Kato's eyes roll slightly.

"So, I'm not the kind of three-nil girl in the comics, you don't expect me to really have no emotions at all, right?"

"Aha, sometimes your expression is so calm that you forget about your actual setting."

"Okay," Kato shook his head helplessly, in this conversation with Kazuya, although it is not clear whether Kazuya is aware of it or not, but from her own point of view, her emotional changes have become much richer, "It's not enough, Aragaki-san's eyes seem to be looking for me before, right?" What is it? ”

"Ah, that's right, I do have something I want to discuss with you." Kato's questioning, so that Kazuya reflected his main purpose of finding Kato. However, Kazuya was still a little embarrassed to find that he still didn't know how to express himself with Kato.

"Isn't it a conflict with Ying Lili? It is said that the first quarrel between boys and girls after being together is almost at this time, because the previous relationship was very good, so the small contradictions were ignored in the past, and now the initial passion has calmed down, it may be the period when small quarrels begin to appear. ”

"No, there is no contradiction between me and Yingli Lili, I grew up together since childhood, and I know the root too well!" Kazuya spread his hands and said, "Even if it's a quarrel, it's been a quarrel in the previous ten years, and so big contradictions have been experienced, do you still care about small other problems?" ”

"Really? Sure enough, the experience of ten years of running-in is still very powerful! Kato looked up and said unhurriedly.

"Well, is it okay?" I don't know why, Kazuya always Jedi Kato's words still have something in them, but he thinks it's his own suspicion.

"So, is Ayase jealous because of the pear pear? Your sister used to spoil her sister too much, and now the side effects have appeared, right? ”

"Well, I can't say that, although Ayase is really- uh, but this is not the main reason," remembering that he was still in a very awkward state with Ayase, and that was a headache, but, as far as the things that were going to be discussed with Kato, it seemed that the subject matter was still a little off.

"Well, there shouldn't be any problems between me and you recently, that's Kasumigaoka-senpai, right? Did you meet her? I heard she hasn't been to school much lately! ”

Although I want to complain about what this so-called "I have no problem with you" is about, and what kind of strange logic Kato uses to measure these relationships, it is obvious that Kato still pokes at the core of the problem at the moment.

"Then, it's Kasumigaoka's problem!" Looking at Kazuya's somewhat embarrassed expression, Kato nodded a little knowingly.

"Almost!" Kazuya smiled bitterly and told Kato what happened between him and Shiyu before.

"So, according to Kasumigaoka-senpai, the next time you meet, you'll be enemies, right?" Kato looked at Kazuya and said lightly.

"That's right, what kind of enemy or something, Senior Sister Shiyu said this kind of thing, which makes me really unacceptable!" Kazuya complained dissatisfiedly.

"Really? But I don't think there's anything unacceptable! Kazuya had expected to hear some comforting words from Kato, but what he didn't expect was that Kato would say something that made him feel almost incomprehensible.

"How could you accept it! Fighting against Senior Sister Shiyu or something, even if I know that the final result is irreversible, but, at least, I still hope that it will not be so cruel! Even if it really has to be a cruel situation where there is only one winner in the end, don't use the word enemy! Kazuya said dissatisfiedly.

"I think you've made a mistake, Aragaki-san." Kato changed his previous flat and relaxed tone, replaced it with a somewhat serious image, and said to Kazuya.

"Am I getting something wrong?" Kazuya replied in confusion.

"yes, you're getting something wrong. According to you, at this time next month, your novel is published at the same time as Kasumigaoka-senpai's, and you're betting on your future as a light fiction writer, and she's betting on the future fate of the new editorial department. ”

"That's right." Kazuya nodded and said.

"Can't you see that? For you, not being able to become a light novel writer is just a temporary failure for you, and even in a sense, you can give up light novel writing altogether - anyway, you're playing tickets now, right? But for Senior Sister Kasumigaoka, her future is not to say that it is completely pinned on this, and now it is also at a very important node, for you, and for her, this so-called war, the chips are completely unequal! ”

"Even if that's the case, then as long as the senior sister pays more attention to it, there is no need to say such cruel words at all-" Kazuya subconsciously defended.

"-But," Kato's expression turned a little whiter for that moment, but, quickly, she went on as she had said, "Aragaki-san, what is the relationship between you and Kasumigaoka-san? ”

"Uh, friend?" And also a little confused.

"yes, so how far have you become friends? Have you reached the point where you can't hurt each other at such a time? Then you can choose to give up the confrontation, right? ”

"It's not like that—"

"-In other words, if it was Ying Pear against you, would you still do the same thing as you do now?" Kato didn't give Kazuya a chance to refute at all, and asked.

"Even if it's Eiriri, that-" Kazuya looked at Kato with wide eyes, but, in the end, he still bowed his head weakly, acknowledging the correctness of what the other person wanted to say.

"That's right, Aragaki-san," Kato said with a sad expression on his face in front of Kazuya, who lowered his head, "Because I'm just a friend, I can't change a lot of things!" ”
