After deciding to give up, I became popular

Naturally, Natsuki didn't know what the little blonde girl in front of him was thinking, but based on past experience, he felt that she might really be putting on a brave face, and he couldn't sit still any longer.

"No, let's go to the infirmary. Your constitution isn't very good to begin with, and it would be troublesome if you really get sick and it drags on," Natsuki said seriously.

Come to think of it, it seemed like the girls he knew weren't in very good physical shape. Eriri didn't need to be mentioned, a typical otaku, and the senior was even more helpless. Only Kaguya was an anomaly, not only was her physique good, but it was far beyond the average person's level, and even her wrist strength could crush some boys.

——She could be called a heroine among women.

"I'm really okay, Natsuki, you're making a fuss," Eriri said coquettishly.

On the surface, she looked like she disliked him making a fuss, but in her heart, she was overjoyed—Natsuki was concerned about her!

He really still had her in his heart!

Although it wasn't good to say so, it was a good thing that Natsuki's pursuit had failed this time, so she could re-enter his field of vision, otherwise there would really be no chance at all.

"No, we must have a check-up. This kind of thing can't be taken lightly," Natsuki said seriously.

The reason why he was so firm was actually because something similar had happened before—

When he was pursuing Eriri, she stayed up all night to work on her drafts and eventually collapsed, and even had a fever for several days. After Natsuki found out, he went to see her every day after school, and at some cost, he obtained a copy of class notes from her classmates, and diligently copied it every day to bring to her, so that she could successfully pass the mid-term exam without failing.

And from that time on, he and Eriri agreed that he would help her catch up with the progress of her drafts in the future, so that she wouldn't work so hard.

Although Eriri later rejected his confession, he would still not regret what he had promised. As long as she needed his help, he would never refuse.

"Although it feels unlikely, but you wouldn't..." Natsuki hesitated, glanced at Yukino, who was sitting opposite him, and then lowered his head, continuing to whisper, "You wouldn't still be drawing that here, would you?"

"That?" Eriri was a little confused for a while, and after a moment of愣, she finally understood what Natsuki was talking about.

So in an instant, her face was covered with red clouds, and her tone became angrily.

"Y-Y-You... you idiot! What are you saying!"

"I-I-I... I wouldn't do that kind of thing!"

While saying that, she began to use her unique special move—twin-tail slash, waving her slender twin-tails and slapping them on Natsuki's body, trying to cover up the shyness on her face with such a personal attack.

However, facing such an attack, Natsuki was not angry but happy, and even nodded repeatedly.

That's right, this was the Eriri in his impression, a lively and tsundere little blonde girl. The previous melancholic look was too strange, it felt like she had changed into a different person.

Now Natsuki could also confirm that there was really nothing wrong with Eriri's body, at most something had happened that made her a little worried.

Just as he was about to say something, Yukino, who had been watching the two people with a expressionless face, finally couldn't sit still.

"Can you end this lovey-dovey farce? Because of your shameful behavior, this place has completely become the focus."

129. Yukino VS Eriri

Yukino, the correct and absolute justice representative noun.

As the president of the Service Club, Yukino believes that she has a fair position that she will never lose to others.

Therefore, when she saw someone openly being lovey-dovey in a public place in front of her, she sternly came forward to resist.

"As a student of Shuchiin Academy, don't you feel ashamed for making such an unseemly move in the cafeteria?"

"Or is the student council president ready to abandon this troublesome identity and choose to reveal her unique hobby to the world that should be ashamed to mention?"

"Heh, if even a grasshopper could have consciousness, I'm afraid it would choose to commit suicide out of shame after seeing this ridiculous scene before it?"

Cold words came from the side, directly floating into Natsuki's ears, but also seemed to resound in his heart, just like a thorny ice lotus blooming in his body, irritating him all over.

The memories of those days when he was dominated in the past now re-emerged in his heart, making Natsuki feel ashamed.

There was only one thought left in his head—Yukino was angry.

She looked like this when he made her angry in the past, her face was terribly gloomy, and her whole body exuded a terrible aura. The whole person was like she had just returned from practicing in an ice cellar, and every word and sentence was filled with a cold and biting breath.

She was worthy of being the Ice Queen.

So he quickly appeased the little blonde girl next to him who was just about to say something to resist this Ice Queen, signaling that you couldn't beat her, quickly admit defeat first.

As a result, the little blonde girl didn't believe in evil at all, thinking that she had fought with that poisonous-tongued fat woman for so long, what harsh words hadn't she heard?

She wasn't afraid at all!

So——

"S-S-Sorry!" The teary-eyed little blonde girl sat on the seat with her head lowered aggrievedly, looking like she was choking, apologizing word by word.

It's not that she was too weak... although there was a certain relationship in it, the main reason was that Yukino didn't play cards according to common sense at all, not mentioning her personally, but starting from Eriri's behavior just now, pointing out that her actions would bring unnecessary trouble to Natsuki, so the little blonde girl immediately surrendered, and then Yukino pointed fingers at the little blonde girl from the moral high ground.

It wouldn't have been anything, mainly because this little blonde girl was a person who was quite moral, and she already felt sorry for Natsuki in her heart, so she was completely kidnapped and couldn't resist at all.

"S-Sorry... I, I really didn't think about bringing trouble to Natsuki, I just, just..."

"Just think that as good friends, you can肆意地人身攻击 each other?"

"Guu..." Eriri silently lowered her head, feeling more and more guilty.

"Uh, you don't have to say it to this point, I actually didn't think there was anything..." Natsuki opened his mouth to try to relieve Eriri, but he didn't expect to become the target of attack.

"As the student council president, wouldn't you feel that it affects your image if others saw such a humiliating scene?"

"Or do you think that the position of student council president doesn't matter now, and its importance is not worth the public闹闹 with female classmates? Heh..."

"Or... anyway, there are enough scandals on you, so it's not bad to have one more?"

"..."

It could be seen that the second young lady was really very angry, and even her originally calm chest had a slight undulation.

However, Natsuki didn't dare to look more, fearing that she would sense something, so he could only maintain a obedient posture of "I was wrong" and listen carefully to the teachings.

But honestly, he didn't think it was that serious in his heart.

Originally, there was no one else besides the three of them here, let alone they didn't do anything out of the ordinary, did they?

And what about the student council president? Can't a person have a little private life? He wasn't doing anything to炒粉, at most he was just saying that he was having closer contact with female friends in private!

But the key point was that both sides were single, right? Even if it was true, it was a matter of mutual consent! No one else could say anything!

He originally wanted to refute loudly, but the Yukino on the opposite side looked like she was going to eat people, so he took a step back, thinking about letting her a little more.

As the saying goes, a prime minister's belly can hold a boat, he was generous and didn't care about her.

And looking at Natsuki's obedient look of admitting his mistake, coupled with the output just now, the anger of being秀恩爱 in front of her face had also dissipated for the most part.

Although she herself would never admit this, only refuting that she was promoting justice, she did feel more comfortable, that was, after saying a lot of things in her heart, she inexplicably felt a little hot on her cheeks.

Maybe it was because she was too excited.

"Since you want to be a good student council president, you must always pay attention to your image. If you are discovered by that group of pure... people, you will inevitably use this kind of thing to criticize you..." The second young lady rubbed her temples, hoping to relax herself with this.

It could only be said that fortunately, the seats they chose were remote enough, and it was still early from class time, and there was really no one around, otherwise this place would have become the focus of the entire cafeteria.

Natsuki nodded repeatedly, still putting on a look of admitting his mistake, but in his heart, he was嘀咕.

I didn't expect Yukino to be paying attention to his affairs, and even know about this... could it be that Hachiman told her?

But what he was more curious about was why Yukino would care so much about his image, and even get so angry because of this. According to reason, since his confession failed, the two of them had almost lost contact, not to mention交流, they hadn't even seen each other once until she appeared in the student council room that day.

At first, he really thought that Yukino didn't want to see him again, after all, he did enter the Service Club with impure motives, but the other party only regarded him as an ordinary friend.

But he didn't expect that she was also paying attention to his affairs, it seemed that she didn't want to lose him as a friend.

As for why she cared about his identity as the student council president... maybe it was because the reason he used to退部 was "I'm going to run for student council president, and I won't have time to participate in other club activities in the future"?

After all, he had already decided to approach Kaguya at that time, and he hadn't participated in club activities for a long time, so he thought about simply退部, but he didn't expect that this sudden departure seemed to stimulate Yukino?

Natsuki thought, feeling that he had found the correct answer.

130. A small wish

But what's the use of figuring it out? At most, it will allow him to understand Yukino's current mood, and let him understand why she, who has always been calm and steady, would make such a big fire with a cold face in front of a stranger she met for the first time.

Because that was actually aimed at him, it was just a coincidence that this little blonde girl ran into the枪口, and also became the output target.

But what could he do? Could he expect that if he apologized now, the two of them could return to the close relationship they had before?

Naturally, it was impossible.

He had approached Yukino with impure motives before, but the other party only treated him as an ordinary friend.

And now, let alone he has realized that his former "like" was not a true like, even if that was a hopeless love for Yukino, it has basically dissipated with time... no, it should be said——

The originally vacant place has long been filled with other emotions.

"I appreciate your kindness, and I also know what to do, but these things have nothing to do with Eriri, there is no need to involve her," Natsuki said in a deep voice, hiding Eriri behind him, looking like he was going to protect her.

Perhaps he was a little nosy, but looking at the little blonde girl's pitiful look of being训, he couldn't remain indifferent.

Indeed, Yukino was right, similar things like "being impeached" have happened before, but this doesn't mean that he has to live fearfully, and even the interaction with friends has to carefully pay attention to the reactions of the people around him.

Otherwise, his student council president would be too aggrieved, right? And the most crucial point is—Yukino's information is actually outdated.

For the current him, with the support of Kaguya and Chika, who are already the most popular girls in "pure院", coupled with the prestige he has painstakingly cultivated in the past few months and the support of the school, his current position can be said to be unshakeable.

The evidence is that the so-called scandals that should have been negative information on him have now become proof of his "good异性缘"...

And looking at Natsuki's appearance of protecting his犊似的, Yukino suddenly became calm.

In her heart, there was a feeling that she couldn't explain, like a stone that was originally suspended in the air suddenly fell to the ground, and the hazy mist suddenly dissipated, revealing what she had been窥探 for a long time.

"..."

"So this is your attitude? Because of her..." She said to Natsuki, but her eyes had been on Eriri on the side.

Maybe she was really misunderstanding at first, but now it seems that she hasn't misunderstood much.

"..." Natsuki frowned, suddenly unable to understand her words.

What does his attitude mean? Does it mean that he is maintaining Eriri? But that's the truth, their affairs should definitely not involve other people, if there is anything, they should find another time to talk separately.

"Your emotions don't seem right, I think we should find another time to talk alone..."

"No need, I am very calm now, and... I have already finished what I should say," Yukino replied.

The facts have already been laid out in front of her eyes, what else can she say? Could it be that she has to be like a pitiful stray cat,翘首以盼地卖萌 to crave the other party's slightest回眸?

She couldn't do it.

What was missed was missed, not to mention the untimely, even if she could really understand her feelings at the beginning, the state of mind at that time and now would not be the same.

Therefore, all I need to do is let go, treat the memories of those days as a beautiful recollection to be forever cherished in my heart...

"I have some things to take care of, so I'll be leaving first..." After tidying up her belongings slightly, Yukino Yukinoshita stood up, preparing to depart.

"Right, about what Hiratsuka-sensei told you... just pretend it never happened. I can handle it, you don't need to worry about it."

"..." Kanade Natsukawa didn't try to stop her, but he was very concerned about what Yukinoshita had said before leaving.

What Hiratsuka-sensei told him... what was it?

If his memory served him correctly, the last time he met Hiratsuka-sensei was outside the onsen bath that night.

Because the receptionist had mistaken his identity, mistaking him for a teacher and giving him the wrong directions, he ended up in the teachers' only bath. After he had carefully put on his clothes and cautiously snuck out, he ran into her, and she teased him for a long while...

So, Yukino's intention is to tell him not to take it to heart, and that Hiratsuka-sensei won't reveal this incident?

Is she referring to this matter?

Kanade Natsukawa thought carefully, feeling that she might be referring to this, but he didn't think he had been exposed unless Yukino had accidentally let it slip, letting Hiratsuka-sensei know.

But is that possible? Would Yukino's personality allow her to make such a mistake?
