Class C of the second year didn't see the figures of Gensheng Yuxia and Kobayakawa Kazuki, and Shiina Kiri thought about it and walked downstairs.

I don't remember when it started, but Gensheng Yuxia was willing to have lunch with them in the classroom.

It seems to have rained for three or four days in a row, and it seems that after he promised Aokhona to accompany her in the kendo club lounge on the fifth floor every Tuesday and Thursday during lunch breaks.

He couldn't remember the sequence of these two events.

The midday sun squeezed the shadows short, and the dappled light and shadow under the street trees shimmered on the boy.

There is a big banyan tree behind the gymnasium, which was originally a girl's "secret base", but later became a "secret base" for the three of them.

It is not so much that the "secret base" under the big banyan tree is large, but that the girl's heart is actively opened for them.

In fact, it is a good thing to make friends with people with low self-esteem.

She won't trouble you, she thinks about everything, but if you have something to trouble her, she will spare no effort to help you, and she will be happy because she is needed by her friends.

Walking around the last corner, the boy saw two familiar figures under the big banyan tree.

One is a girl in a short skirt wearing black over-the-knee socks, with short shoulder-length hair and slightly curly ends, which looks a little messy but inexplicably clean.

One is a "teenager" wearing big black-rimmed glasses and a boys' uniform at Yuuki High School.

The two sat together with a bento and were close together, looking like a young couple.

The female protagonist and the dead friend had lunch sweetly, and the male protagonist was surprised to find that today was another day of being stabbed in the back by the dead friend.

Fortunately, the dead friend is also a girl, and fortunately, the dead friend also likes the male protagonist.

"Two classmates, did you leave me some rice balls?"

Shiina Kiri said as he walked towards the two of them.

"Shiina-san."

Gensheng Yunatsu was obviously a little surprised when he saw Shiina Mist, and sat up straight and looked at him.

But she suddenly thought of something, turned her head to look at Kobayakawa Kazuki beside her, and shrank back.

Shiina fog. “？”

It's really a backstab, isn't it?

He looked at Kazuki Kobayakawa, who was eating quietly, and found that she hadn't even raised her head.

"Squad leader? Not welcome? ”

Kazuki Kobayakawa said after looking up at him. "Welcome."

Shiina fog is a little strange, it's only been two days since I see each other, why are the two of them the same as strangers.

"Shiina-san, Kobayakawa-san is in a bad mood today." Yuan Sheng Yuxia took the initiative to explain.

It seems that he is not alone in this season.

"What's wrong?"

Shiina Kiri walked over to Kobayakawa and sat down and gently patted her on the shoulder.

"It's fine."

It would be strange if it was okay.

Shiina Kiri's gaze crossed Kobayakawa Kazuki, who was eating with his head slightly bowed, and looked at Genyu Yunatsu on the other side.

When the girl met his gaze, she stopped talking a little, and finally shook her head lightly with an embarrassed face.

She knew something obviously.

This made Shiina Kiri a little puzzled, Gensheng Yuxia could know, but he couldn't.

It can't be those things between girls.

Shiina Kiri took the initiative to pick up the unused silver chopsticks on the side and sandwiched a shrimp tail from the Kobayakawa Kazuki lunch box.

"It can't be me messing with you, the lunch box is set over, it's hard to pick up vegetables like this."

Kobayakawa Kazuki looked at him with a cold face, his eyes a little deep.

Aokora didn't go back to "Hanaen" the night before, and she called and asked Shinsuke Aoku to find out that she had been sent to a sanatorium.

The man spoke calmly, in an irrefutable tone.

Kazuki Kobayakawa asked why, but did not get an answer.

But it was clear that it was not yet the time for Aokuna to leave, but she was forcibly sent to a nursing home, and even her sister couldn't be contacted.

Something must have happened in between.

Or rather, on Tuesday, something must have happened to Shiina Kiri and Aokuna, which made Shinsuke Aoku angry.

"Huh? Did I really mess with you? ”

Shiina Kiri's chewing action stopped, and he said in some surprise.

But for so long, the two have only been alone for a handful of times.

Aokora has taken up too much of his time, and he has been spending a lot less time with Gensheng Yunatsu and Kobayakawa Kazuki lately.

Kobayakawa Kazuki finally shook his head and stuffed most of the remaining bento in his hand to Shiina Kiri.

She didn't see that Shiina Kiri was sad, which meant that he didn't know about Aokuna's affairs.

Perhaps it should be said that he only knew that she was gone, but he did not know that she would never come back.

Since Aokorna, who was the person concerned, didn't tell him about it, of course she couldn't do it on her behalf.

Shiina Kirishi felt a little inexplicable.

But if Kazuki Kobayakawa didn't want to say it, he really couldn't do anything about her.

The squad leader is not Yuansheng Yuxia, so easy to bully, he can bully him.

Shiina Kiri glanced thoughtfully at Gensheng Yuxia again.

The girl was visibly aware of his gaze, but she lowered her head and did not dare to look at him again.

"Gensheng-san." Shiina Kiri shouted.

"Yes."

Yuan Sheng Yuxia subconsciously responded.

"What are you doing shouting so loudly?" Kobayakawa Kazuki glared at Shiina Kiri, a little impatiently.

"Uh."

I don't know if I thought the person he shouted was Kobayakawa Kazuki.

But since the squad leader is not happy today, he naturally won't have the eyesight to see her arguing with her like before.

The two are very good friends, and he also knows through the system that she likes him, and it can also be said that he has a crush on him?

"I just want to ask Yuansheng if he has eaten enough, a little bit not enough."

"There's so much left and not enough for you to eat?" Kobayakawa Kazuki frowned.

"I didn't waste anything, what's wrong with eating more."

Shiina Kirishi didn't know why she was so angry today, as if she had eaten gunpowder.

In the past, even if I exchanged scolding with him, I wouldn't be as impatient as I am now.

"It's okay, it's okay, I still have it here, it's okay."

Seeing that Kazuki Kobayakawa still wanted to speak, Gensheng Yuxia hurriedly interjected.

"Thank you."

Shiina Kiri took the blue bento box she handed over, put it on her lap with the squad leader's lunch box, and ate it herself.

It seems that the answer has to be found from the source of the summer.

Under the lush banyan tree, the three of them each have their own thoughts.

……

After two classes in the afternoon, the school bell rang.

Shiina Kiri came back to his senses from his textbook and looked up just in time to see Kobayakawa Ichiki leaving without looking back.

He turned his head to look at the corner of the classroom, where he fostered chamomile.

The girl's action as she packed her schoolbag was noticeably shaky.

Shiina fog is dumb, is it so scary?

He picked up his math book and got up and walked towards the girl.

"Where do you want to go? Don't plan to study with me? Yuansheng-sang. ”

He put the math book on the girl's desk, making a soft "pop" sound, and the girl couldn't help but shrink her neck.

"The Broadcasting Department has a meeting today," the girl whispered.

"Really?" Shiina Kiri asked subconsciously.

In fact, he knew that this must be true, and even if Gensheng Yuxia wanted to hide from him, it was impossible for him to make up reasons to deceive him.

This girl doesn't lie at all.

"Hmm." The girl clutched the strap of her schoolbag and looked down at the math book on the desk, not daring to look at him.

"Okay then."

The girl breathed a sigh of relief.

Shiina Kiri suggested again. "Then I'll send you there."

"Huh?"

She was nervous again.

"Can't you?" Shiina asked.

“… OK. ”

She was just a little overwhelmed.

She thought about how she would refuse if she asked her about those things later.

She had promised Kobayakawa that Kazuki would not tell him that secret.

And...

"Wouldn't it be sad if Shiina-san knew the truth......?"

'I'm going to be sad... After all, Shiina is so good...'

'But... Isn't it good to hide it from him...'

She felt so entangled.

"Packed up, let's go."

Shiina Kiri tapped lightly on her desk, interrupting her thoughts.

"Alright."

"Let's go."

Shiina Kiri returned to his seat, picked up his bag, and walked towards the back door, while the girl obediently followed him.

The broadcasting club is not in the school building, but on the side of the school radio station.

The two shuttled through the crowd of people coming and going, and neither of them spoke.

Until......

"It turns out that the one who was broadcasting with you... Did the seniors continue to pester you? He didn't remember the boy's name for a moment, after all, neither of them had seen each other twice.

He was still quite concerned about this issue, and he didn't want to see someone trying to dig into his corner all the time.

Although it was impossible for a girl to be poached, he hated flies.

"Is Shiina-san talking about Shintani-senpai?" Gensheng Yuxia asked in a low voice.

"Yes, that's him."

"Senior Shintani replaced me after playing my performance score, which was the day before yesterday.

Now I'm partnered with a boy from class D in our grade named Katsu Yoshida. ”

"Oh." Shiina Kiri nodded.

He felt a little emotionally in his heart, the squad leader was really reassuring.

As for changing to a boy, he didn't think it was a big deal, after all, Yuuki High School's radio broadcasts were broadcast by men and women together.

As long as it's not Hirohito Shintani's identity as a senior, it's enough to force the girl to eat with him.

Naturally, he couldn't be so selfish as to let Gensheng Yuxia not be allowed to contact any boys, and he wasn't so demonic.

Otherwise, he would not help her to chase her dreams, but would have taken her for himself and turned her into a personal item just to please him every day.

"Yoshida-san's girlfriend." Gensheng Yuxia suddenly explained.

Shiina Kiri was stunned for a moment, turned his head and saw the girl's nervous eyes, and couldn't help but smile.

"Got it."

I actually knew that I was afraid that he would be jealous.

He tapped the girl on the head.

"Wooh..."Gensheng Yuxia flattened his mouth. Why are you still hitting me. ”

She covered her head that had been knocked by him and felt a little aggrieved, obviously she had done nothing wrong.

"This kind of fighting between men and women can cultivate feelings." Shiina Kiri said nonsense seriously.

"Oh..."

Gensheng Yuxia was suspicious, and she had no friends for a long time before she met Shiina Kiri and Kobayakawa Kazuki.

"Then I can touch Shiina-san's ...... too"

"I can't." Before Gensheng Yuxia could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Shiina Mist.

Born in the summer. “……”

"By the way, how do you know he has a girlfriend?" Shiina Kiri was a little curious about this.

Yuan Sheng Yuxia is not a girl who loves gossip, and she actually knows that her new partner has a girlfriend.

"His girlfriend is from the editorial department, and I saw them together when I went to get the manuscript before." Gensheng Yuxia explained very seriously.

"Hmm." Shiina Kiri nodded.

He casually asked about noon. "By the way, Gensheng-san, do you know what happened to the class leader?"

"Huh?"

Unexpectedly, the question I was most afraid of facing was asked by the teenager.

"Can't you tell me?"

"Hmm." The girl replied in a whisper.

"What is it about?" Shiina fog side knock side strike.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Sheng Yuxia stopped talking.

"Can't that be said either?"

"Hmm." The girl bit her lip and lowered her head to hide her eyes in her heavy bangs, not daring to look at him anymore.

"Okay." Shiina Kiri sighed and feigned disappointment. "It's here, Yuansheng, you can go in, I'll go to the library to study."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving Gensheng Yuxia alone in the same place.

The girl looked at his back with a look of guilt and self-blame.

She wanted to tell him all the truth, but if she did, she would be sorry for Kobayakawa Kazuki's trust in her.

She remained motionless until a girl from the same broadcasting department called her name, and then she silently followed the girl into the conference room.

……

Shiina Kiri was a little surprised.

He originally thought that she would catch up and hold him, and in the end, even if he didn't explain the matter, he would subconsciously say some clues.

He didn't really need to know everything, just a few clues.

I didn't expect that the girl could do this step in keeping secrets for others.

After all, before that, he relied on the girl's liking to force her to resign from the maid coffee shop.

At that time, the girl was crying in the café, but she still agreed to him.

Forget it, don't bully her like this in the future. ’

Shiina Kirishi has some conscience findings.

This kind of thing is ugly to say, it is to rely on the girl's liking to trample on her cognition and personality.

In fact, this matter has nothing to do with Gensheng Yuxia, she just knows about Kobayakawa Kazuki.

And he felt that Kobayakawa Kazuki was not easy to bully, so he came to bully her.

When I think about it, I feel that I have gone too far.

Shiina Kiri took out his phone from his pocket and sent a message to Yuxia Gensheng on LINE.

"I'm sorry, Gensheng-san. I apologize to you for not intentionally bullying you just now, and I hope you can forgive me for my presumptuousness."

Not intentionally...

Didn't he mean it?

Seeing that she is a bully, he treats her as an angry bag.

Forget it, next time I invite her to a meal and apologize, it's too insincere on the phone. ’

After a long time of not seeing the girl reply, Shiina Kirishi knew that the meeting of the broadcasting department had begun.

How could a girl like her, who takes everything seriously, secretly play with her mobile phone during a meeting.

Well, not serious when studying.

It's not that I'm not serious, or I'm always sleepy.

Shiina Kirishi walked towards the library alone.
