"Is Quan-kun okay?"

Pulling out his chair and sitting down, Furukawa looked worriedly at the man sitting in the corner on the table.

"Leave him alone, this has been going on all morning, and I won't answer when I talk to him."

Fiddling with the fried meatballs in the lunch box, Apricot pouted dissatisfiedly.

"I heard that I had a fight with his brother, but I remember that Xing, didn't you say yesterday that Izumi should not talk to you?"

Unpacking the bag of fried noodles and bread that he grabbed from the commissary, Okazaki said with a playful expression.

"If I had known that this was the case, I wouldn't have been so angry, and you and Xiaozhu actually hid it from us, it's too not enough friends."

"I'm sorry, we didn't mean to hide it from you..."

"Nagisa is here to keep us from worrying, right? And if you want to apologize, it should be the two boys sitting here. ”

"Is one of them me?"

"It's not nonsense."

Glancing at Okazaki, Apricot frowned suspiciously.

"But seriously, what are you going to do next?"

"What?"

"Look, didn't you come yesterday in that way? However, the effect does not seem to be as good as expected. ”

"So I wondered if there was anything we could do to help."

When he took the apricot, Starling stopped what he was doing.

"I also want to play with Sister Meiyi, and I want her to listen to me play the violin."

Slowly chewing the rice balls in her mouth, a faint smile appeared on Kotomi's face.

"I don't think it's better to do this thing, except for Izumi who has that tolerance, everyone else should forget it."

"Xiao Xing, bully."

"Mei's sister is worried about Haruhara-kun, and she talked a lot yesterday," Furukawa recalled yesterday's conversation, "I think my brother should continue to play football, and as long as he does what he likes, he will definitely be able to change back to the handsome brother he used to be." ”

"What? No, no," Furukawa said, and Apricot immediately shook her head in disagreement, "How can that guy go back to the football club now?" ”

"yes, that's what I said."

"You know, too, who are the people in our school's football club?"

"Well, I know."

"So..."

"What happened to the football club?"

Just as Xing was about to say something, I stood behind her and asked.

"Wow! Don't pop up! ”

"I'm sorry, I'll pay attention next time."

"Are you cheering up? I thought I'd be depressed like this. ”

"Because I heard you guys talking about interesting topics," I pulled away from the chair next to Okazaki and sat down, and I smiled wryly, "and it's not a way to stay depressed." ”

"That's right, you also have the advantage of being able to recover quickly."

"Ignore Okazaki, did you just say there was something wrong with the soccer club?"

"Speaking of which, Izumi transferred from another school, so naturally I don't know yet."

"How can I say it, after all, our school's football club system is quite special."

It's really rare, not only apricots, but even the starlings of the good old man showed an embarrassed expression.

"Is it bullying?"

"Qinmei, you are saying this, but at this time, it is in the same sentence."

Xing nodded affirmatively.

“… Okazaki, you said that Haruhara used to be in the soccer club," remembering that Tomoyo had told me that there were bad rumors in the soccer club before, "Does Haruhara's abandonment of club activities have anything to do with the soccer club?" ”

"That guy caused a violent incident when he was in first grade."

"Violence, you say?"

Nodding, Okazaki continued.

"The football club of our school has always been that the lower grades must completely obey the upper grades, and the relationship between the seniors and juniors has always been bad."

"The seniors often blatantly do some actions to bully the juniors, and one time after being provoked by the seniors, Haruhara's relationship finally broke out because he couldn't stand it."

"At that time, I also retired from the club, got into a fight elsewhere and was taken to the faculty room, and I happened to meet him, and that was the first time we met, and then we started to mingle together."

"After that, because he was canceled from participating in the rookie competition, it didn't take long for Haruhara to retire on his own."

Wiping the crumbs off his mouth, Okazaki nodded and gestured that he was done.

"In other words, Haruhara didn't quit willingly, right?"

“… The same can be said. ”

After a pause, Okazaki nodded.

"That's right..."

Touching my chin, I fell silent.

I didn't expect there to be such a twist and turn in the story, it doesn't seem to be as simple as I imagined.

I promised Mei that I would make Haruhara go back to what it was before, and I also made a declaration to my brother that I believed in Haruhara, but what should I do...

I decided to start from scratch and clear my mind.

At first, it was his girlfriend's impersonation, which made him unable to see the facts clearly, which is one of the reasons.

And my brother also said yesterday, "What is the real problem of the Haruhara brothers and sisters", maybe we all ignore the very important thing, what is the essence of this...

Because of his excellent sports, he was recommended to this school.

I have been participating in club activities, but I was forced to give up.

Grades also kept slipping, and classes couldn't keep up.

Eventually, being late became a habit, and I gave up even continuing my studies.

In the end, I just lived my life in a mess.

No, it's all sorted out, but it always feels like something is missing.

"What's the shortcoming..."

Annoyedly knocking on the table, I muttered quietly.

"What did Izumi say?"

"Ahh It's nothing, it's just a matter of talking to yourself. ”

"Really? But just like Peng Ye said, I sincerely advise you, it's better not to get involved. ”

As if she knew what I was going to do next, Apricot advised with a worried look in her eyes.

"You mean the football club?"

"That's right, and you've had a conflict with the football club before, right?"

"Do you talk about my eyes? … So it does have something to do with them. ”

Ah~ This makes sense, why the football in the stadium at that time will fly straight towards us who happened to pass by, although I accidentally injured me, but the real target is Haruhara.

Trouble, it seems that the football club is really difficult to entangle.

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

"Izumi, this is for you."

In the afternoon, between the first class, Xing handed me the notebook.

"Thanks, sorry for the trouble."

This is the school rules related to the establishment of a club that I asked Xing to help me sort out some time ago.

At present, I know that there must be five members and one advisor to form a club, and the advisor cannot be in addition to two clubs at the same time, and the school rules in this regard are not clear at all.

For the sake of the future, we have to find out now.

"It's nothing, I'm also a member of the ministry," Sitting on the empty seat in front of me, Xing looked at me suspiciously, "But I thought you weren't in the mood to take care of the drama department anymore." ”

"Each is its own, although the matter of Mei Yi is very important, but I can't relax here," I put the notebook in the drawer, and I turned my head to look at her, "Xing, do you have anything to say?" ”

"See?"

"Well, because you look like you want to talk and stop."

"Anyway... I said do you want to go to the football club? ”

"I'm quite hesitant... To go or not to go? ”

"It's a surprise that you don't deny it at all."

"Because I can't hide it from you if I lie." Looking at Xing's clear eyes, I shrugged my shoulders with a wry smile, "Xing, you also advised me not to go to the football club during your lunch break, are they so troublesome?" ”

"It's not troublesome, it's very troublesome," I don't know what I remembered, Xing let out a long sigh, "Although I don't like to say bad things about others, most of the players in the football department don't have a good review." ”

"Even you say that, it seems really bad."

"yes, so you...," nodded in affirmation, but as if realizing something, Apricot stopped and looked at me with a smile, "I don't think it's anything, but I still want to ask what I mean by "even me"? ”

"Uh..."

It's so keen, I actually heard the meaning of the words.

"Izumi, can you take your eyes off the ceiling?"

The smile on Apricot was getting stronger and stronger.

"W-That..."

Just when I was in a hurry to think of excuses, the next class suddenly became noisy.

"Xing, someone in your sister's class is going to fight!"

The boy who had just run into the classroom shouted at us anxiously.

Fight? … Could it be?!

Holding the uneasiness in my heart, I hurriedly chased after Xing.

When I ran into Class D, I saw that my anxiety had come true.

The chair flipped to the floor, and Okazaki stood in the center of the crowd with Haruhara's collar.

It's really the two of them...

"Haruhara, you bastard, tell me again!"

"What, Okazaki you want to fight?"

"Please stop! What's wrong with everyone? ”

The two of them stared at each other, and the people around them gathered more and more.

Starling stood anxiously and kept trying to persuade them, but no one listened to her.

Worst! If this continues, the two of them must fight, and they must stop it.

At the same time that Okazaki raised his fist and swung it at Haruhara, I squeezed through the crowd and rushed forward.

"Hey! You guys! ”

There was no deviation in his face to block the punch for Haruhara.

I was prepared to be beaten, but... Damn, Okazaki, you stinky boy actually punched so hard! It hurts me to death.

But one thing is thankful, fortunately, it was stopped, and with this strength, it was enough for them to fight to the death and then enter the student guidance room together.

"I said what are you two doing! Separate me! ”

After seeing me rushing up, Apron immediately reacted and left Okazaki's hand holding Haruhara's collar and blocked them in the middle to separate them.

"Dry, well done, apricot."

Wiping the blood from the corners of my mouth, I nodded appreciatively at Xing.

Turning his head to look at the central figure this time.

"Why are you two arguing?"

“…”

“…”

Both men were glaring at each other, and neither of them answered the question.

Ah~ These two boys are actually playing with their temper, and I'm the one who should be angry, right?!

"yes, I'm sorry, I don't know."

Noticing my gaze, Starling shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.

Hmm~ No way... Although it is not clear what the reason is, it is better to let the crowd of people watching the excitement disperse first.

"Alright, alright! Let's all go back and do our own thing! ”

Waving at the crowd of onlookers, I motioned for everyone to disperse.

But it's different from what I imagined.,Everyone seems to want to continue reading and don't want to leave like this.,But when Xing took out several dictionaries,,It's all very tacitly dispersed.。

It is worthy of an apricot, full of courage.

"Okay, now who can you two explain," I turned to the two of them with satisfaction as the crowd around me gradually dispersed, "You know..."

"Tsk!"

"Hey!"

Before I could finish speaking, Okazaki glared at Haruhara and walked out of the classroom without looking back.

Not... It seems that Okazaki is really angry this time, but at least I'll be done before leaving.

"Haruhara..."

"Izumi, you want to come and lecture me too?"

Haruhara's eyebrows were raised, and his face was not shaved.

These guys... All of them are like this, and the attitude of the person who is causing trouble is still so **.

"No, I just want to know what the hell you think."

Resisting the urge to go crazy, I patiently explained to him.

Yesterday, I was so blatantly accused by my brother that I realized that we really only care about Mei's thoughts, and no one cares about what Haruhara's thoughts are at all.

Communication is a matter for both parties, and if you only express your own opinions one-sidedly without understanding each other's ideas, you will not be able to establish smooth communication.

"What do I think?"

"That's right, what do you think of Mei Yi, or what kind of existence Mei is to you."

“… Boring, what do you think you want to say," the corners of Haruhara's mouth curved upward, revealing a sarcastic smile, "What do you see, what exists, these are what you should think about, right?" ”

“…”

"And I also told Okazaki just now, I only think about the leaves now, and I don't have time to care about Mei at all."

"Don't care at all?"

"That's right, and I've already decided," he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, Haruhara raised his head as if he had made up his mind, "Next time we meet, I'm going to confess to Yezi." ”

"W-What?!"

The brain freezes instantly.

Compared with the commotion just now, Haruhara's words had a great impact on me several times.

"Well, that's it anyway, let's get along well in the future."

He patted me on the shoulder, and Haruhara walked out of the classroom.
