Lunch break, canteen.

"If you describe it in terms of game rank, you, Yahiko Kitada, are a bronze at most."

"And Himeno Shinnomiya, platinum or even diamond or above, and with the improvement of time and experience, she can be stronger, so you know what I mean?"

"But, I haven't started investigating the information yet, so you want me to give up? How do I feel that you are so unreliable? Kitada scratched his head.

Sato Shin quietly took a sip of udon noodles and said: "Himeno Shinnomiya, is definitely not a simple money worshipper, or rather, with her ability, it is enough to make the vast majority of boys in this school willing to give her a wallet, since there are so many wallets, naturally you are not one worse, and your biggest advantage is a lot of money, so it can be seen that you have lost your competitiveness." ”

"Hmm... You have a feeling of saying something in you, I think it's weird no matter how you hear it. ”

"Anyway, I don't think you have to bother in vain, you really want to chase Himeno Shrine, but I'm afraid it's more difficult than you want to be admitted to Todai."

"I didn't plan to go to Tokyo University, and boys like me usually go to private universities, such as Keio Waseda or something."

"I said, you didn't leave me alone because you wanted to chase Himeno Mamiya, right?"

"Do you think it's possible?" Shin Sato rolled his eyes.

"yes... Women may not be as interesting as exercises in your eyes, but you've become more righteous, and I thought that even if you knew that I had no hope, you would still forcibly help me form a study club for the sake of money and ask Himeno out. ”

"Am I so disdainful?"

"Yes, except for today, when I usually talk to you, I don't think you treat me as a human being, you today... Although there are more poisonous tongues than before, I at least think that you are a kind of affectionate guy, in short, much better than before. Kitada Yahiko stuffed the pork chops in a big gulp and continued to slurred his words: "And I didn't expect you to give me advice so seriously, to be honest, I'm quite happy." ”

“…… It's kind of disgusting that you just said that, really. Sato Shin said seriously.

"Hey, no, let's get down to business, in fact, after all, I don't really want to chase Himeno, I just want to try to get closer to her, make contact, almost, I know I don't have the ability to soak others, but I'm still young, I have to have some fantasies, right?"

"So what you mean?" Shin Sato finished his udon and began to wipe his mouth.

"Hey, study meeting, let's just take it, anyway, I think you're quite short of money, aren't you? And ah, even though you want to trick me, you actually order the cheapest udon, what's going on? Tsundere? ”

"I'm just light." Shin Sato pursed his lips.

"Hahahaha, Sato, you really are..."

"Eat your meal!"

……

"Hey, Kitada, I honestly don't remember a lot of things from before, so why did you ask me to invite Himeno to some study session? There has to be a cause, right? ”

"It's just the last time I passed by the library study room, and I saw Himeno Manomiya sitting with you, and then I was curious to go in and listen, and found that you were seriously explaining the topic to her, and then I began to ask you later."

Shin Sato rubbed his eyebrows, "I see." ”

Combined with today's girl's reaction, Sato Shin can be regarded as figuring out the cause and effect.

"However, at that time, I almost couldn't hold back my laughter when I peeped at you over there, and when men and women talk about topics, they will more or less want to get closer, not to mention rubbing oil, at least they should sit together, right? You and Himeno are directly separated by five or six stools, and then every time you explain a topic, you walk over and stand a meter behind her, and then hand her the notebook. ”

"I really thought there was something wrong with you, you don't really have any kind of female phobia, do you?" Yahiko Kitada looked at Shin Sato with a sympathetic expression.

Sato Shin didn't deny it, "You just have me, anyway, I don't plan to fall in love in high school." ”

"Why? You only have one high school in your life, right? It's only now that you can look at the beautiful girls in JK uniforms without problems? Don't you have any ideas? ”

"Nope."

"Ha, worthy of you."

"Wait, Kitada." Sato Shin stopped and looked at the girl with braids sitting under the tree in the school garden, eating a bento upright, that is, the member of the Discipline Commission who met this morning.

"Do you know her?"

"Huh? She's one of our classmates, huh? Kitada Yahiko was really shocked at this time, "Sato, you can't really be possessed by a ghost, right?" ”

"Classmates? So what's the name? Have I spoken to her before? ”

"Uh... Her name is Kuroki Hanarin, a member of our class's study committee and class president, and also a member of the Discipline Committee of the Student Union, as for whether you have spoken to her, how do I know, but she rarely talks to boys, and even if she speaks, it is mostly to criticize and reprimand us. ”

"How is her popularity in the class?" Nobu Sato asked thoughtfully.

"It's very bad, it can even be said that it's worse than you, you used to be a transparent school bully at most, and Kuroki Hanarin, hey, she offended both men and women, anyway, she is the kind of iron-faced and selfless character, what mistake did you make and was caught by her, it is impossible to accommodate you, and I will do it for you directly in accordance with the procedural justice, just because of her temperament, several playful men and women in our class have been punished."

"I also heard before that when she was patrolling the campus, she found that a few people in our class drilled into the grove to kiss her, and she also took pictures directly and sent them to the teaching office, and then attracted other people's parents over, and it was quite a big trouble."

"That's brave." Sato nodded again.

"What? Are you interested in her? I advise you not to, Kuroki Hana Rin heard that it would be beautiful if she took off her glasses, but she was not sensitive to such a thing as love, and when someone gave her a love letter, she handed it in directly to the teacher, not to mention how embarrassing it was. ”

“…… Can you fit anything more than men and women in your head? ”

"Yes, the new showtime in April, what time will Vtuber live, and when will my scheduled Gundam arrive, all this information is in my head."

“……”

"Is there anything you want me to do?" Kuroki Hana Rin noticed that the two of them had been chattering here for a long time, so she put away her lunch, walked slowly in front of them, and looked up at Sato Shin and asked.

Sato nodded, took out the three thousand yen from this morning, and put it back in her hand.

"Although I don't know why you gave me money in the morning, but I thought about it and forgot it, I don't feel comfortable using your money, so that's it."

The words fell, and Sato Shin left first.

And Kitada Yahiko looked at Kuroki Hanarin, and then at Sato Shin's back, and his eyes were very exciting for a while.

it? Here's what's going on?!
