After winning three matches in a row, the Kendo club of Yamano High School is now only one step away from the national competition.

They are on their way to their final qualifying tournament this afternoon, and if they win this one, they can wash away years of shame in the kendo club and become the first national quarter-finals in the history of Yamano High School.

And because of Saionji Akino's recent active performance in kendo competitions, some photos of him participating in kendo competitions can often be seen on the Internet, especially on social platforms such as Twitter and forums.

The side face of the black-haired handsome young man, the calm smile after wearing five, with the current appearance of Akino of Xiyuan Temple and his outstanding temperament, he has become a small Internet celebrity on the Internet in a leap.

This caused some female students in the same school who often swiped Twitter to slowly pay attention to him, and the effect of the previous forest school had not passed.

The popularity of Saionji Akino has reached a new peak, and it is only high and not low compared to the popularity of Kawano Natsuryo when he first entered the school.

In the morning, as soon as he arrived at the school, he opened his indoor shoe closet and found at least twenty love letters, as well as some trinkets and snacks.

As for these love letters, Saionji Akino will read each one carefully and give a formal reply during recess, and then put it back in his shoe cabinet at the end of school.

The reason why these girls are so keen to send love letters to Saionji Akino, and even confess, is that many of them come because of his refusal.

First of all, everyone has no chance by default, for a handsome boy of the level of Saionji Akino, it is actually not a loss to be rejected, but if it succeeds, it will be blood gain.

With such thoughts, a total of 34 girls have recently confessed to Saionji Akino in love letters or face-to-face.

And because the words that Akino of Xiyuan Temple refuses every time are very polite and gentle, this also makes everyone's enthusiasm for confession increase instead of decreasing.

I don't feel sad at all when I am rejected, but I can get close to the handsome guy, this kind of thing is like passing by the festival and you have to buy an apple candy to eat, and the young girls are happy to do it.

Due to Saionji Akino's current popularity on campus, they now participate in kendo competitions, and they also have a stable cheerleading team at Yamano High School, and the leading teacher, that is, the consultant teacher who approved their funding last time, is also in good spirits and a sense of honor.

As long as he wins this today, it can prove that his approval of funds is not only correct, but also means that he has a long-term vision, a very long face, and then he will have to brag after dinner.

…

As always, the morning passed, and during the lunch break, there were a lot of girls outside the classroom, and they all wanted to invite Saionji Akino to lunch, but they were usually blocked by Komura Yuka and Asada Ako, so they were particularly helpless and annoyed.

And among the girls who wanted to invite Saionji Akino, there was a pink figure that quietly sneaked into the classroom.

She first smiled at Makoto Fukuzawa, who was sitting in the front row, and then whispered hello to a few friends from Saionji Akino.

Then he made a shush gesture and slowly approached Saionji Akino, who was writing his class assignment at this time.

"Saionji-kun."

Ignoring the red eyes of all the girls around her, Asaba Oriyuki smiled like a delicate and beautiful flower: "Can I invite you to lunch?" ”

Saionji Akino looked up and saw that it was Asaba Oriyuki, and smiled.

"Absolutely."

So, the girls who were stopped by Asako Asada and Yuka Komura couldn't help but complain: "Why don't you stop her?" ”

"Just watching her take Xiyuan Temple-kun away?"

"Ahh Speaking of which, it seems that there have been rumors that the two of them are a couple before..."

"That must be fake! Hey, Komura, Asada, why don't you speak? ”

Komura Yuka and Asada Ako snorted coldly after watching Asaba Oriyuki easily take away Saionji Akino.

"I see! It turns out that the two of you are also like us, they are defeated dogs! ”

"Who do you say is a defeated dog!" The small village is especially good, and the hair is fried immediately.

Asada Ayako glanced coldly at the girl who had just called: "Don't even think about joining our class in the future." ”

"Huh... Asada-san, I'm kidding..."

——

"I didn't expect Saionji-kun to become so popular in just over a week when he came back from the forest school~" Oriyuki Asaba regained her original cheerful and generous appearance, and her speech became a little playful.

Saionji Akino smiled: "It's okay, I think Asaba-san's is more popular." ”

"Really?" Asaba Oriyuki nodded, suddenly grabbed the corner of Saionji Akino's clothes, and said, "Why don't I take you to a quiet place for lunch?" ”

They wanted to go to the cafeteria, or the benches in the school court, but they would definitely be surrounded by a lot of people sitting there, and they would not be comfortable eating lunch or chatting.

If you go to the literary club, there are two more people, Himekawa Mao and Fukuzawa Makoto.

If possible, Oriyuki Asaba still wants to be alone with Saionji Akino.

"yes, okay."

The two soon arrived at the previous art classroom, and without much hesitation, Oriyuki Asaba pushed open the door and walked in.

However, as soon as she entered, she saw shredded paper all over the floor, and it seemed that the sketch had been torn like this.

It can be seen that the people who tear these drawings are very irritable, after all, there are big and small tears, as if they are purely to vent their emotions.

Asa Yu Oriyuki was stunned, "I'm sorry, Xiyuan Temple-kun, otherwise, let's change places..."

"It's okay, let's sort it out." Xiyuan Temple has already squatted down and started to clean.

And Asaba Oriyuki pursed her lips and smiled again: "Okay~"

While the two of them were cleaning up the shredded paper, Asaba Oriyuki suddenly asked.

"Saionji-kun, remember... Was the first day we made an appointment? ”

"You mean the day you went to Grandma Takada's shoe shop to buy indoor shoes?"

"Well, that's right."

"What's wrong?"

"Didn't you ask me that day if I was a member of the Painting Society? Well... Actually, I lied, I was a member of the painting club. ”

"Even, I'm the head of the painting club."

Saionji Akino nodded, "Then why lie?" ”

"Because... I had just quit the painting club, and something very embarrassing was happening here. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Hmm... It has to do with these torn drawings. ”

"These drawings are actually the works of the members of the painting club, which are used to participate in the competition."

"The reason why they tore it up so angrily is probably because they didn't get any awards."

Saionji Akino remembered the things that the art teacher left him and Ai Kondo behind to talk about after he took a perfection class.

Sure enough, it's related to the shallow feather weaving snow.

However, the fact that Oriyuki Asaba will take the initiative now also shows that she is finally willing to take off her mask in front of her and share more of her own things.

For such a change in her, Saionji Akino is very happy.

"Why didn't you get the award?" Saionji Akino asked with a smile.

Asa Yu Zhixue was stunned for a moment, her pretty face flushed slightly, "Probably because they don't draw well." ”

Usually she never speaks ill of others, which can be regarded as breaking the rules in front of Saionji Akino.

"So, embarrassing things mean...?"

"Because... I know that it may be difficult for you to win an award in a competition, let alone a highly competitive sketch, so... I proposed that we all paint ink together, but..."

"But?" Saionji Akino followed the temptation and tried to get Asaba Oriyuki to say something sincere.

"But... They thought I was looking down on them, that I was selfish, and that they didn't want everyone to get more solo awards, so they proposed to paint ink together..."

"That's too much, those people." Saionji Akino sighed.

"Hmm... I think it's too much, huh... No, what did you tell me to say. Asa Ha Oriyuki showed a rare annoyed expression and puffed out her cheeks.

"After that, I also knew, once in an art class, the art teacher let me see the ink painting you painted, and also told me some information about the painting club, so the choice you made was to finish the ink painting by yourself, sign the ink painting to the painting club, and also want to leave an award for everyone, and then leave silently, right?"

"Xiyuan Temple-kun, you actually know..."

"After all, you have been paying attention to me, and of course I have to pay attention to you." Saionji Akino said with a smile.

Asa Ha Oriyuki blushed and was silent for a while without speaking.

Saionji Akino looked at her quietly, and then continued to sort out the shredded paper.

After a few moments, Oriyuki Asaba spoke again.

"It's just that because of the reconciliation with Xiaozhi, I understand a little."

"It's just... In fact, my approach is wrong, I should not run away, not only will not solve any problems, but will deepen the misunderstanding, just like now, they must think that I left this ink painting... I'm laughing at them..."

"So, what I'm trying to say is... Thank you, Saionji-kun, for making me understand that escaping doesn't solve the problem, and thank you... Draw a caricature like that to reconcile me with Twig. ”

"In the future, I won't run away from anything." Oriyuki Asaba said very seriously.

Including the fact that I like you, I won't run away from it.

"If only I could help you." Saionji Akino smiled.

After cleaning up the last part of the shredded paper, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, "It's almost time for lunch." ”

"Well, let's wash our hands and come back."

"Okay."

…

After lunch, there are five minutes left for the lunch break, and Saionji Akino and Asaba Oriyuki have talked a lot, from childhood to now, a lot of past experiences, all over again.

Their relationship as friends has apparently deepened again.

"Xiyuanji-kun, I'll go to support you in your kendo competition this afternoon."

"Thank you~"

"Xiyuanji-kun, are you going back to the classroom?"

"Hmm."

"Saionji-kun, do you want a drink?"

"Do you want a treat?"

"Uh-huh, as a thank you gift~"

"So... Oolong tea bar. ”

"Okay."

"Xiyuan Temple-kun!" When they were about to separate, Asaba Oriyuki called him again.

"What's wrong?"

"I think... It's always Xiyuan Temple, Xiyuan Temple, and you're going to be a little rusty... In the future, can I call you Akino-kun? ”

"Absolutely."

"That's... Akino-kun, you have to call me too..."

"Weaving snow?"

Asaba Oriyuki couldn't help but feel happy when she heard him call her name so dryly.

"Hmmm! Akino-kun! ”
