"Is the target apricots and starlings?"

Hiding in the grass of the garden, we began to watch from a distance at the vine sisters resting on the grass.

"No, there's only one goal." Haruhara looked ahead with a nerve-wracking expression, "I thought that if it was the class leader, I should be familiar with the school rules, but her old sister is actually there." ”

"That's true." When I remembered the scene at the end of class, my head was sweating, "But the question is what to do." ”

"Izumi, go and call my sister out alone." Okazaki turned his head to us, and whispered his idea without being heard by Furukawa, "Just say that you have something to tell her, and her sister will avoid it." ”

"Is that okay?" Because of what happened just now, my trust in Okazaki is at a minimum, "Before I can talk to Starling, I may be smashed into a hornet's nest by Apricot." ”

"Think about it," Okazaki saw my dissatisfaction, so he continued to enlighten me, "You have something to say to the squad leader alone, and Xing's words should be understood and won't be hindered." Besides, you have the highest level of trust among the three of us, no problem! ”

"Yes, I see." After listening to Okazaki's analysis, I thought for a moment that it was true, "I know, I'll go over now." ”

So, I got up and walked over to the starling.

"Hey, starling," I walked over with a smile on my face to let my guard down, "Apricot is there too." ”

"Ah, Izumi-kun." Starling was still as shy as ever like a hamster, "Y-Hello." ”

"What do you mean by "apricots are too"! Xing grabbed my tie with an arrow step, stared at me with a smile and said, "Speaking of which, we still have some things to finish~"

Miss Xing, you look like this... It's, it's scary!!

"Well, we'll be talking for a moment," I waved my hand with a dry smile and turned my head in the direction of the starling, "Actually, I'm here because I have something to say to the starling." ”

"Huh! For me? ”

"Yes?" Xing looked at me in surprise, but this expression only lasted for a few seconds before it was immediately covered by a fierce expression, "What are you kid going to do to my child?!" It's guts... It's time to write your suicide note, right? I'll just burn it for you after reading it here~ Let's take it? ”

"What can I do?"

Looking at the apricot that has entered the blackening in front of me, I can only say that your imagination is too rich.

"That sister, can you hear what Quan-kun is looking for me first?"

I will keep your great kindness in mind!!

"Well, since the starlings have said so." Xing reluctantly took back the hand that grabbed my tie, "Then you have nonsense, don't waste time." ”

Are you so sorry that you didn't beat me up?!!!

"Ahem, yes, I see." I glanced at Xing unconvinced, then straightened my tie and looked at the starling who had been standing there, "Actually, I have something I want to say to you to Starling, but it's not very convenient here, can I ask you to come to the rooftop alone for a while?" I'll be waiting for you there. ”

"Huh! That, that, I... I'm that," Starling immediately turned into a red apple after hearing what I said, and although he looked at me in surprise, he answered me in the affirmative, "I... I know. ”

But compared to starling, Xing, who is an older sister on the side, reacted to scare people to death.

"You... What did you say?! Xing looked at me with an expression of being struck by thunder, and took a big step back, "I didn't expect you to be!" ”

"Yes, yes, that's what you think." Since Starling had promised to come back in a while, there was no need for me to stay here, so I casually said, "That's it, I'll see you later, Starling." ”

“… Kindness. ”

“……”

I nodded to the starlings who were already red and looked at me with a complicated expression, and I turned and left.

———————————— dividing line————————————

In the afternoon, after school, we continued our noon conversation with Starling on the rooftop.

"Excuse me," Starling looked at us standing across from her uneasily, "what are you trying to tell me?" ”

"Ah, that," I scratched my head embarrassedly and put my hand on Furukawa's shoulder, who was standing nearby, "Actually, she was the one looking for you, and I was just passing the word." ”

"Oh... Yes!!! ”

"I'm Nagisa Furukawa from Class B in the third year," Furukawa, who was encouraged by us, introduced himself to the previous work with great momentum, "I'm sorry to call you out so suddenly." ”

"Yes, I'm a vine starling from Class E."

"Are you the class leader?"

"Yes, yes."

"It's amazing, I definitely can't do it, so I adore you."

Wait a minute, Furukawa! Why are you suddenly depressed, just hurry up and get to the point.

"No, nothing spectacular."

"I have something to say, can you listen to me?"

Good! That's the momentum! Go GOGO, come on!

"Yes!!"

Starling also seemed to be so surprised by Furukawa's momentum that he jumped back a small step.

"She's serious." Okazaki added, "If you can, I hope you will answer seriously." ”

That's right, that's for sure. I nodded in agreement.

"Please wait a minute." Starling blushed and looked away with some trouble, "That, I didn't expect it to be a girl." ”

"It has nothing to do with gender, does it?" It is rare that Haruhara, instead of coming out to disturb, said a very honest sentence, "I think the more important thing is a warm heart." ”

"You occasionally say something you listen to~" Okazaki cast an appreciative look at Haruhara.

"Because I'm a good person by nature." Chun Yuan brushed off his bangs in a dashing manner, leaving a confident smile.

"Well, what are you talking about?" It's a strange feeling, it feels like there's an indescribable weird atmosphere here, but looking at everyone's expressions, it seems that everyone understands what's going on, as if I'm the only one who doesn't understand, "I don't understand at all." ”

"It's okay," Okazaki said, clapping his hand on my head and looking at me with a loving expression, "Izumi is still a child, and this innocence is also a virtue." ”

"It feels like you're hurting me."

"It's okay, I have absolutely nothing to pity you."

Damn, even Haruhara looked at me with a thief smile on his face, and now I even want to beat them.

"Is it weird to be a girl?"

"No, no, Furukawa-san is very cute, but with me... That, how

Okay? ”

"I've been struggling, but I'm determined to muster up courage!"

"Ahh … Does it bother you so much? ”

When Starling heard Furukawa's words, he showed an expression of understanding, as if he had met a confidant who had the same troubles as himself.

"It's so exciting~"

Ignore Okazaki and Haruhara, who were blushing as they stood by and watched.

"I don't know what to do, please listen to me!"

"I—I see. I'll listen very carefully, too. ”

Wait a minute! How are there flowers floating!

Looking at Furukawa and Starling in front of me, holding hands together and starling in front of me, I felt as if I saw roses around them. Oops.,It must have been too long after finishing the game last night.,I actually hallucinated... Is it myopia! Ah, why don't you check it out?

"Please, please..."

Oops, there are more and more petals!

"Squirt————— hmm!" Haruhara next to him somehow saw that his nose was spraying, but at that moment, he was killed by Okazaki's punch.

"Please help me rebuild the drama department."

"Yes... Huh? ”

"Bump!"

At the moment when Furukawa spoke, the door of the rooftop suddenly fell, and along with it were apricots and peonies that were taped to the door and eavesdropped.

"Sister!"

"Ah, apricot!" When Haruhara's eyes saw that it was the apricot queen, he jumped up in fright.

"You guys!" But for some reason, Apricot stood up angrily and used her left and right elbows to clamp Haruhara's and Okazaki's necks respectively, "How dare you tease my sister!" ”

"Wow, ah, ah, ah!!" ×2

Amen, Okazaki, Haruhara, although the friendship is only a few weeks, I will incense you both on this day every year.

The moment I saw the apricot again, I was very wise to hide behind the starlings and Furukawa, although it was a bit embarrassing to let the girl be the shield, but if you think about it, the other party was the apricot who killed two high school boys with developed limbs in seconds! In order to save your life, sometimes you can also consider putting down this thing first.

"It's solved here," Apricot threw away Haruhara and Okazaki in her hands, rubbing her clucking hands and looking at me, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Wait, wait!" I hurriedly waved my hand to interrupt Apricot's words, "At least let me know what I did wrong?!" ”

"Huh? Don't you know? Xing paused for a moment and looked at me in some surprise, "Didn't you join forces with them to tease my sister?" ”

"I don't think we're teasing starlings, you're too neurotic."

"Yes, yes? Am I neurotic? Apricot bowed her head so much that I couldn't read her expression now.

Oops, I accidentally said what I was thinking!

"You guy, there's a reason." Xingyi sped up and ran in front of me, and smashed a straight hook directly into my stomach, "Angering me is the best reason!" Heavenly Punishment !! ”

Not! … What kind of unreasonable remark is this!!

———————————— dividing line————————————

"If that's the case, I'll have said it sooner."

In the activity room of the drama department, Xing sat on a chair with her legs crossed and looked at the three of us squatting on the ground, while next to her stood Furukawa and Starling respectively, just like the queen interrogating prisoners.

"It's Haruhara, it's not good." Okazaki looked at Haruhara, who was also kneeling beside him, with a look of disdain.

"It's supposed to be you!"

"You should apologize to me, I'm the most hurt!"

That's right, compared to Haruhara and Okazaki, who just have a sore neck, I now have no less than five band-aids on my face, and I'm disfigured~ Apricot didn't show mercy at all.

"I'm sorry, because I don't know how to explain."

"It's nothing, it's just a little heartbeating, hehe~"

Compared to the fiery quarrel between the three of us, Furukawa and Starling seemed very warm.

"I said you, don't you have any other friends besides this?" Xing was very disdainful and pointed at us with one hand, and then looked at Furukawa in confusion.

I'm so sorry~ We are "like this".

"Did you say friends?" As if thinking of quite bad memories, Furukawa lowered his head in frustration, "They are helping me rebuild the drama department." ”

"Well, there must be something unspeakable behind it." Xing saw Furukawa's loss, first stared at us, and then made a very cheerful suggestion to Furukawa, "I said, how about you put these guys aside and be friends with us?" ”

"That..."

"Peony thinks so too, right?"

"Posei~Hiroshi"

You little pig knows what a fart!

"That's too much."

"It's always been like this."

"Actually, don't you also aim for bread?"

At the same time, the three of us whispered our testimonials below.

"Well, I'm grateful for your kindness, but I can't abandon the people who have helped me all along." As he spoke, Furukawa turned his gaze to us, "Okazaki-san, Haruhara-san, and Izumi-san are all good people." ”

Oh~ That's right, Furukawa! Worthy of the minister, Eun.

"You seem to have bought her well," Apricot gossiped out of her chair, squatted down and whispered to Okazaki, "Could it be that you're chasing this girl?" ”

Mom! That's big news!

Haruhara and I both sat up straight, ears pricked up to listen to their conversation.

"How is that possible?"

It's a pity that Okazaki's nerd vetoed the conjecture of the apricot.

"The first thing we need to do to rebuild the closed ministry is to get the numbers together," Starling began to say the answer we had been looking for, "The school rules require at least three members and one advisor for club activities. ”

"Ah, yes." Apricot returned to her chair in style.

"Three people!" When Furukawa heard this, he clenched his fists as if he was cheering up and repeated.

"But the recruiting activity was banned."

"yes, yes."

"Propaganda activities are also not allowed."

Our kneeling trio is pitching our opinions one after the other, but it feels a bit like pouring cold water on it?

"Isn't it enough per head?"

Indeed, there is Furukawa in the words of personnel, and I who just joined, and Okazaki should have joined as well, but now the problem is that there is only one consultant missing.

"Huh?"

"Where?"

But for some reason, Okazaki seemed puzzled.

"She and you and you, ah! Plus you. ”

Hey, it's rude to point your foot at someone, right? Why did I add it last, do you still hate the rooftop thing?!

"No, no." ×2

Okazaki and Haruhara's tacit understanding was in tune again, as if they had made an appointment, and they both scratched their heads and waved their hands to deny it.

"Ahh Compared to Furukawa, who had a regretful expression on the side, I was now in a state of being struck by lightning, "Okazaki, didn't you join either?" ”

"Yes, of course."

"Well, then you're staying in... I always thought you were on board! ”

"I'm just helping."

"Eh, yes... That's right. ”

After hearing the truth, I suddenly squatted on the ground in a deflated mood.

"So, is that Quan-kun okay?"

"It feels like the whole person will turn gray."

"It's okay, this guy has always been like this."

In the end, Furukawa and Starling were the only ones in the group who cared about me. Damn, careless friends! Also, I'm not gray all the time, apologize to me, apricot! Beware of me suing you for slander!

"So none of the three of you joined?" Xing looked at us with disdain, "What are you kidding, if you want to help, give me wholehearted dedication, what kind of half-heartedness is this!" ”

"Well, actually, I'm a member of the drama department."

"Hey Izumi! How could you betray us so quickly! ”

"You betrayed me first!"

"Alright," Apricot interrupted our argument, "so to speak, and now there are only two of them. But I really didn't expect you to join. ”

"Ah, I'll be serious once in a while."

… Although it was tricked in.
