“Well…I’ll go back to class now, teacher.”

“Well, go ahead.

By the way, if I have any arrangements, I will contact you in advance.”

“oh oh……”

He closed the office door awkwardly.

Just looking at the other party’s eager look, Hasegawa tilted his neck, feeling as if he had started some incredible side story.

[Forget it, never mind…]

Thinking of this, he returned to his seat, waiting for the first class in the afternoon. The cool sunlight of late summer and autumn shone through the window onto the yellowed desks, accompanied by the sound of the history teacher writing on the blackboard. It was the best time to catch up on sleep.

It must be said that the first class in the afternoon often made him sleepier than morning reading. In addition, this was a class that he had little interest in, so the sleepiness was like a wonderful chemical reaction, producing an effect of 1+1 greater than 2.

The oath I made in front of Teacher Jing is still vivid in my mind, but the shaky figure hiding behind the books makes everything that happened before seem particularly ridiculous.

As we all know, it is almost impossible for a teacher standing on the podium to completely conceal the little movements of the students below. The same is true for someone’s shaky posture, about to fall asleep.

Looking at the brat who had just caused a stir this morning, the teacher on the podium’s face flushed slightly, and his anger gauge steadily rose with time.

Seeing that the chalk of sanctions was about to be thrown out, fortunately, at the critical moment, the good brother next to him noticed it in time and reminded someone who was almost hit by it.

“Hey…Hasegawa-san, Hasegawa-san?”

“Forehead?”

“Wake up, the teacher is watching you.”

“?!”

————————————

“Thank you so much for the class just now.

Looking at the history teacher’s expression, if he were to completely explode, I’m afraid I’d have to stand in the corridor again.”

After finally finishing the first class, Hasegawa gave a kind smile to the boy sitting next to him who had just reminded him.

In response to his thanks, the boy named Nohara also smiled and said that it didn’t matter:

“Hey, you are so polite, we are all classmates.

Besides, that old man always likes to throw chalk at people during class, and everyone has been fed up with him for a long time!”

After he finished speaking, he did not forget to touch his forehead, as if recalling the pain that lingered for a long time because of the chalk residue during class in the past.

Obviously, compared to Hasegawa, who was an indirect experiencer, this guy had a deeper understanding of the chalk attack.

“But thank you anyway.

How about this, after school, I treat you to ice cream?”

“Ice cream… could it be the one that just opened near the school gate?”

“Oh, you know.”

“Of course.

Hasegawa-san, haven’t you heard that this dessert shop is one of the most popular shops among girls in the new semester? “

“Wow~ What a weird questionnaire.

The reason why I know this shop is simply because I like sweets…”

Friendship between boys sometimes comes so suddenly. Although it is just a level of intersection, because most of them have similar interests, it will basically develop into a state of being arm in arm and going to the bathroom together during class breaks.

Just like Hasegawa and Nohara.

Compared with ordinary boys, this boy is not keen on games or sports, and his longing for love is mediocre, but he has an unexpectedly strong and passionate appreciation for beautiful girls.

When Nohara mentioned Yukinoshita Haruno, who also belonged to the “beautiful girl” group, Hasegawa, who was sitting opposite her and enjoying ice cream, gradually changed his expression as he listened to the high school student talking…

Chapter 30: It was probably fate that caused it to happen

Whether Teacher Jing would be angry because he stood her up was no longer something Hasegawa needed to consider now.

We have to admit that compared to the subconscious restraint that always lingers because of etiquette when being with the opposite sex, both boys and girls tend to be more relaxed and comfortable when playing with the same sex.

As a new partner, Nohara gradually became familiar with the others and temporarily put aside his reservedness towards the campus legend, showing his true nature in the corner of the dessert shop.

That is – the beautiful girls around you.

To put it simply, I like the astringency!

“Hey~!

Even if it’s Hasegawa, you can’t slander others at will. I swear on my lifelong dignity that this is definitely not just lust!”

“……Um.”

Looking at the young boy Nohara’s confident but revealing look, Hasegawa Hide calmly took a sip of the strawberry milk in the cup and nodded slightly to ease the awkwardness in the atmosphere.

After all, we have just met each other for a short time, so we need to consider each other’s face and self-esteem.

Otherwise, according to his increasingly free-spirited nature, facing Nohara’s obvious attempt to cover up, Hasegawa Hide really wanted to say, “Actually, there’s no one else here, you can just say whatever you want to say.”

As for the heart of Slaanesh…let alone high school boys who are at their restless age, even if they become old men, most men still like beautiful girls in their hearts.

For example, this kind of basic attribute that is difficult to change, when talking about it among friends, you won’t shudder, no chill…

At best, you will be jokingly called a Slacker or Mr. Driver by your friends.

“…But speaking of beautiful girls around me, Hasegawa-san is really enviable.”

“???”

【What on earth do you want to say? 】

[You were talking about a beautiful girl, why are you suddenly bringing this up with me? ]

Listening to Nohara’s gradually divergent topic, Hasegawa looked at the boy with slightly trembling eyes, and the expression on his face gradually became a little strange.

“Ah… As expected, someone like Hasegawa-san will never experience the pain of being ‘single’.

Hasegawa-san, don’t you know?

You are quite popular among the girls in the academy.”

When he said this, Nohara curled his lips in dissatisfaction, as if he had a little sour feeling.

According to what he said, it is obvious that in the minds of many boys, special individuals like Hasegawa Hide who monopolizes a large amount of resources are natural opponents.

After all, for Japanese high school students who are about to enter the society, finding their ideal partner and having a sweet, fantasy-filled love life is really precious and desirable.

But in the case of constant resources, the existence of someone like that, who has his own halo but no self-awareness, really adds too much difficulty to everyone in the initial process.

No… If we use the terminology in the game to describe it, this is no longer a level of beginner hell or not, it’s even the level where the button to officially start the game has disappeared!

“Hasegawa-san, do you know?

If you and Yukinoshita weren’t inseparable all day and seemed to be restrained, there would be a lot of girls in school who would make a move on you.”

“Oh, really?

I didn’t try to understand these things.”

Facing the resentful eyes of his friends, Hasegawa Hide himself remained calm as he sipped his strawberry milk, looking elegant and magnanimous at the same time.

Compared to most of the boys in the class who had wonderful fantasies about love, he was still struggling madly on the road of being a working warrior in the early days and did not have that kind of luxury to worry about.

Just like the wild animals living on the African savannah, when water or food become scarce, they will selectively reduce their desire to reproduce.

This is true even for wild animals, not to mention humans who have established a clear social system, whose living elements are richer and more complex, and whose thoughts are more complicated.

However, after he, as a time traveler, realized the limitations of being a worker, and turned into a plagiarist to overtake others and solve the problem of survival worries, he looked back and found that he had unknowingly forged deep friendships with the few girls who still had contact with him, and they had even moved towards a closer direction and could never turn back.

[From this perspective, I, a “low-level student” who unknowingly developed a relationship with the school beauty and may have occupied additional resources, may not be very popular in the eyes of some male classmates. ]

“But I really didn’t deliberately get involved with the girls in the class, so you can’t just put the blame on me for that.

As for why there is no sweet relationship… I think it is either because the right girl has not been found yet, or the person involved does not want to, or there are various problems when getting along with girls.

Nohara, am I right?”

“…

Hey~ It’s because of your open and honest character that people can’t hate you.”

He lowered his head and sighed.

Faced with Hasegawa Hide’s clear eyes, Nohara, who originally wanted to complain, now spread his hands dejectedly, and finally showed a bitter smile on his face, not sure whether it was helplessness or some other emotion.

Although this classmate in front of me is not very sociable, no matter how you look at it, his uprightness is really hard to dislike.

“Forget it, forget it… Just like you said, pursuing beautiful girls is ultimately your own business, and you can’t attribute the reason for failure to some factors that are not directly related.

But having said that, you are still really enviable to have Yukinoshita-san as your lover.

When will I be able to find a beautiful girl who will only show me genuine tenderness~”

“Haha…..As long as you want it, you will get it one day.

And looking at it from another angle, maybe the reason why Nohara is still single now may really be related to you?

For example… you are not as obsessed with love as you think you are.”

“Uh, could that be the case…haha…”

It’s not that there is no way to find love, it’s just that I’m naive and don’t have that strong desire.

He looked away to the window somewhat embarrassedly. Faced with Hasegawa’s words that sounded like praise, Nohara, who spoke flowery words but was actually extremely innocent, was obviously still a little embarrassed.

After all, apart from the brief pleasure that came from being praised by his friends, he still had some self-awareness about the problem itself.

In Nohara’s opinion, as someone with an ordinary appearance, a plain family background, and no special talents, there must be something wrong with him as he has not found a suitable partner.

——For example, this uncontrollable mouth that loves to discuss big sister topics whenever it has nothing to do!

[Maybe after I control myself, those cute girls won’t be as resistant to me as before…]

Seriously reflect on the real problems that exist in myself.

Compared to sarcasm or teasing with some other meanings, Nohara found that after sharing the topic with the classmate in front of him, in addition to maintaining a slight sense of ease and joy, the thoughts in his mind were also extremely calm.

It is precisely this peaceful state that gives you extra energy and calmness to analyze the problem, and even reflect on your own shortcomings and find solutions to the problem.

It’s undoubtedly a very comfortable experience.

Looking at the classmate in front of him who had a calm expression and a faint smile on his face, Nohara was slightly stunned, then thought of a possibility and said with a smile:

“To be honest, apart from his terrifying physical strength and fitness, the reason why Hasegawa-san is so popular among the guys in that club is probably related to this, right?”

“Haha, your statement…..you describe me in a way that is too mysterious.

You know, someone like me who is used to being alone is not very good at negotiating with others.”

“Really?

If that’s the case, how could I possibly win the heart of Yukinoshita-san, who seems to be very close to every classmate but has a clear boundary between them?”

He shook his finger at Hasegawa Hide with a teasing look.

For boys, teasing their friends about their love stories is also an indispensable part of their life.

Looking at the young Nohara’s smirk-like expression that said “Don’t be so modest”, Hasegawa couldn’t help but choke, scratching his cheek and letting out a bitter smile as if escaping reality.

[‘Good at negotiating with others’… Damn~]

[When I first met Yang No, how come I didn’t realize that I had such a magical ability when we were getting along so well? ]

The emotions that arise in my heart are not enough to be expressed to others.

Looking at the gossip that was about to overflow from Nohara’s face, Hasegawa Hide suddenly realized that it was not convenient to have an in-depth discussion with others on topics like this at the moment.

Especially since the other person is a student from the same school, if he is a big mouth who is not good at controlling himself, and then talks about some weird topics, it might cause unnecessary trouble to Yang Noi.

After all, he is the most dazzling existence in Sobu High School.

While they are enjoying the spotlight on the stage, there are always those who want to find black spots on them.

Compared with China, in Japan, once there is a strange rumor that is enough to cause social death, the blow to the person involved is definitely much heavier than imagined.

Although he was having a good time chatting with Nohara, this man still subconsciously thought about Miss Yang Noi more than this friend he had just met…….
