The next day, Kagome entered the school gate with a trepidation, accompanied by the sumptuous breakfast prepared by Higurashi's mother.

"Higurashi, good morning~"

"Yeah, good morning."

Kagome smiled and nodded, responding to the greetings from unknown classmates this morning.

Hojo-kun, who met him on the road, was surprised, "This is the fifth one...Ali, when did you know so many people?"

Kagome was helpless, "I have known you for a long time, can't you see? Those who greeted me are all my classmates."

"Of course I know." Hojo-kun looked at him, "I often go to you to find you, of course I know you, but..."

He narrowed his eyes, "Why do I remember that everyone was not so enthusiastic... Did you do something yesterday?"

Hojo-kun didn't say that he knew the people around Kagome 100%, but he knew most of the circle. Kagome rarely took the initiative to make friends, and didn't communicate much with boys, let alone girls, but on the way to school this morning, he had met several girls who greeted him.

Hojo-kun was very curious about what happened.

"Yesterday..." Kagome struggled for a while, and under Hojo-kun's expectant gaze, she smiled, "Guess."

Let him say what he said, Kagome has not forgotten the rumors that Yuka told Hojo-kun, at that time he didn't even know that he had someone he liked.

"Eh——" Hojo-kun couldn't believe that his friend had learned to keep him in suspense, staring at Kagome with wide eyes, "Ali, you have changed... You have become bad! Good brothers agreed not to hide things from each other?!"

"Uh, did I say that?"

"Look! You even forgot the oath between us, so much~"

Hojo-kun pretended to be heartbroken, Kagome looked at him strangely, the impression of Hojo-kun was gentle and careful, and this humorous and interesting demeanor was the first time she saw it.

"Okay, I remember it." Kagome couldn't help laughing.

"That's good, you are really good brothers. Can you tell me what happened yesterday?"

Hojo-kun immediately stopped his sad expression and looked forward to it.

"Well... nothing important, just--"

"Good morning, Kagome!"

Kagome stopped talking, turned slightly, and a short-haired girl came around from behind him with a big smile on her face.

"Yuka? Good morning."

Kagome raised her eyebrows when she saw the person coming. Yuka was there to represent... He looked back and saw the other two people as expected.

"Good morning, Ayumi, Eri."

He waved first, with a warm smile on his lips. He had never thought of the scene before, and thought he would never communicate with them in this life...Kagome felt as if a warm current flowed through her heart.

"Huh?" Noticed them?

Ayumi and Eri didn't expect to be noticed. They thought they wouldn't attract attention if they walked behind. They were whispering something secretly, but Kagome suddenly pulled them out to greet them. They were surprised and opened their eyes wide.

"Good morning!"

"Good morning, Higurashi-san."

Kagome waited until they were on the same horizon before she started walking again. She pretended to be unhappy and corrected them as she walked, "Didn't you say you would call me Kagome? Why are you so awkward again? Is there something I did wrong?"

"Eh?! No, no, no--" What's going on... Eri and Ayumi's brains went blank for a moment, and a string of denials came out of their mouths.

"Really..." Kagome deliberately stretched out her tone and looked at them with a teasing look in her eyes. She watched the two girls blush and burst out laughing.

Yuka was stunned.

Eri, Ayumi:... This person is a bit bad.

Seeing the expressions of the three of them, angry and speechless, Kagome's smile deepened. Well, a little "revenge". He was raided at home last night, so it's not too much to collect some "interest"~

Yuka seemed to have opened a new door, exclaiming, "Ali, I didn't expect you to have this kind of personality. This is too, too... uh."

"Too?" Kagome continued the interrupted words.

Too foul, Yuka added in her heart blankly.

The person in front of her looked at her with brown eyes downcast, listening carefully. Although he was smiling, he didn't have any frivolity or complacency.

Yuka's face flushed, and her eyes wandered, "... No."

It's the type she likes... No, you can't think about it anymore, Yuka! Higurashi already has someone he likes! ! He is still chasing someone, how can she... Huh? That doesn't mean she hasn't caught up yet, so she... Hurry up and stop thinking! ! Wuwuwu, I can't hold it back, I can't help myself, wuwuwu...

Eri and Ayumi's mouths twitched, they looked at each other and nodded silently, they couldn't stay any longer, Yuka was already being controlled.

"Akira, we have something else to do, let's go to class first, see you later!"

"See you later!"

As he said,The two of them took Yuka's arms, one on each side, and ran away as if escaping.

"Oh, okay?" Kagome was stunned, "Let's go now?" Not together? Anyway, we'll go together.

He didn't notice that Hojo, who was beside him, watched the whole process without blinking. Compared with Yuka and the others, who were in a state of cognitive collapse, he seemed much calmer.

Is Kagome in a good mood?

Hojo raised his eyebrows and looked at Kagome again and again. There was a sudden realization in his eyes. Could it be that... when the boy fell in love for the first time, he learned to spread his tail like a peacock?

The boy was backlit in the soft warm morning sun, and his delicate hair was clearly visible, but his face was blurred. His long eyelashes curled up, casting a black silhouette on the bridge of his nose.

As if she felt the strong gaze, Kagome tilted her head in confusion and met Hojo-kun's gaze. The gaze rolled around his face again and again, making him blink uncomfortably, and then smiled.

"What's wrong?" He looked at him like this.

Hojo-kun touched his chin, thoughtfully, "Ah, you'd better not laugh."

Kagome, who was grinning with big teeth, couldn't help smiling when she heard Hojo-kun's words, "Eh?! Why?"

He didn't understand, very much, and even a little annoyed.

Kagome crossed her arms angrily, "Do you think my smile is so strange?"

Kikyo was the same. When asked if he was good-looking, he always didn't answer and avoided the question.

No, I must ask clearly next time and let Kikyo say whether he was good-looking or not!

Kagome made up her mind to ignore the "breakup" between him and Kikyo. No matter what, Kikyo said that they were friends, and it was okay for a friend to say that he was good-looking, right!

Anger occupied Kagome's brain. At least at this moment, his mind was full of evidence that his smile was not strange.

It's too much! Asking a girl not to laugh is too much! Even boys can't do that!

Hojo-kun realized that he had expressed the wrong meaning and quickly changed his words, "No! Kagome, listen to my explanation. I mean don't laugh too happily, it will make people's hearts-" heartbeat.

Eh? Is it bad to be moved? Hojo-kun choked. How could he think that Kagome didn't want to be moved by girls? It's obvious that Kagome has been in good contact with girls recently, and it's obvious that she has some thoughts.

"What's the heartbeat? Heart attack?"

"No, no, Kagome, I misunderstood, I didn't..."

Kagome didn't want to pay attention to Hojo-kun. He glared at Hojo-kun, "Hmph!"

Avoiding Hojo-kun who was dancing and trying to explain, Kagome strode forward angrily, with big steps, and soon left behind Hojo-kun who was chattering and didn't know what to say.

Kagome gnashed her back teeth, her joyful mood plummeting.

After sitting down, he lowered his eyes to look at his hands to calm down.

Perhaps it was because of his low voice and the aura of keeping strangers away that the classmate who was about to approach Kagome to chat had his ankles stiffened and turned in another direction to retreat. Well, it’s not impossible to talk after the exam.

Feeling Kagome’s low pressure, Yuka and Eri, who arrived at the class first and talked with the female classmates in the class, couldn’t help but hold hands worriedly.

“What’s going on? Wasn’t it fine just now?”

“I don’t know, who made Kagome angry?” It’s too obvious, even harder to approach than before when she didn’t smile, and it seems a little... aggrieved?

“Don’t go over there.” Ayumi stopped the two people who stood up and shook her head, “Let’s see after the exam.”

“Okay.”

Kagome’s mind was wandering, and he sighed heavily, “Ah…”

I got angry with Hojo-kun.

It was clear that he was... not confident in himself, but he poured it out on Hojo-kun.

Anxious about his appearance, a smile when denied... he was flustered.

When Kagome was a female, she always received compliments from others, since she was a child. He was always the first choice for performances, dramas, and singing.

However, he really had no talent in chasing people.

All the advantages seemed to have become a cloud of smoke. Although Kagome didn't care much about her appearance, she... but how could she not care 100%.

When she compared with Kikyo, she felt that she was not as good as Kikyo.

When she compared with Inuyasha, she also felt that she was not as good as Inuyasha.

"What a failure..." Kagome lay on the table listlessly, burying all her emotions in her arms.
