Chapter 22: Just Not Sociable
noon.

The students in Class 2A, Grade , are all in a good mood today.

Both boys and girls were very happy that there was a beautiful young lady in the class.

But Sakurai Itsuki was not among them.

As soon as the get out of class was over in the morning, a group of people immediately surrounded Hanase Shion and asked her all kinds of boring questions.

In addition to this, there were a few people looking at him and gossiping to him in a low voice about his relationship with Sato Wakaba.

In short, the lack of peace and quiet seriously affected the quality of Sakurai Itsuki's rest at school.

It was finally noon.

Sakurai Jucai finally found a quiet place on the stairs at the angle between the playground and the side door of the teaching building, and leisurely ate fried noodles and bread.

However, this peace and quiet was soon broken.

"Hey!"

Someone suddenly patted Sakurai Itsuki's shoulder from behind.

But Sakurai Itsuki remained unmoved and continued to chew on the bread.

"Why don't you look back?"

Sato Wakaba originally patted Sakurai Itsuki's right shoulder from behind, and was about to wait for him to turn around so that she could move to his left to scare him.

But Sakurai Itsuki was like a piece of wood, completely unmoved.

"No need to look back, I know who it is." Sakurai Itsuki replied.

"Hey, you're so amazing? Do you have eyes on the back of your head? Or do you have a very keen sense of smell and can smell me?"

Sato Wakaba put her hands behind her back and pressed her skirt down to her thighs.

Then he sat next to Sakurai Itsuki naturally.

"Yes, that annoying smell is coming out of you." Sakurai Itsuki said.

"It shouldn't be, because I'm the only one in school who greets you like this?" Sato Wakaba asked, tilting her head.

"You already know, but you're still asking? Are you a novelist who gets paid a penny for every extra word you write?"

Sakurai Itsuki couldn't help but complain.

He has been surrounded by a bunch of gods recently, and is almost being forced to become a sarcastic character like Shimura Shinpachi.

"Hey, Shu, asking questions even though you already know the answer is a very important part of socializing! How can you get others to talk and start a conversation if you know everything?"

Sato Wakaba sells her little tricks about socializing with hot girls to Sakurai Itsuki.

"Give the other person something to say, let them speak, and then respond with a prepared response. This way you can easily control the conversation!"

Sakurai Itsuki turned around and gave Sato Wakaba a cold look, to show that he had no desire to control the conversation.

"Hey, you just eat fried noodles and bread? Should I make you a lunch box too?"

Sato Wakaba tilted her head and looked at the bread in Sakurai Itsuki's hand, thinking.

"No, I already have your flavor all morning and night. Can I have a taste of something else at noon?"

Sakurai Itsuki rejected Sato Wakaba, feeling that that would cause more trouble.

"Really? I taste pretty good, don't I?"

Sato Wakaba pursed her lips and started the next topic.

"Let's go to karaoke this afternoon? Didn't you promise me that you would go grocery shopping with me?"

"I didn't hear that karaoke bar had a fresh food section."

"It'll only take a moment! And that young lady has agreed to go too."

"What does her going have to do with me?"

"Okay, okay, I promise it won't take too long. When I get home, I'll work overtime and stay up late to help you with the work. I'll definitely make up for it!"

Sato Wakaba put her fingers on her forehead and swore solemnly.

"Hey, Ah Shu, why don't you hang out with everyone once in a while? You said you only knew me, but everyone around me was a stranger. Wouldn't it seem like I was too close to you? People might misunderstand me. Maybe someone secretly has a crush on me and is targeting you. After all, I'm so cute."

"Okay, but I won't stay long. Besides, your level is not good enough to help me."

Sakurai Itsuki looked at Sato Wakaba who was raising her finger to swear, nodded and agreed.

Firstly, with Sato Wakaba's help, time does not seem so tight.

Secondly, Sakurai Itsuki has been curious about a question recently.

Having an assistant to help me draw comics has been a successful experiment, but what about other things?
For example, what about songs?
Sakurai Itsuki has no plans to become a singer, and his vocal condition is just at the average level.

But he clearly remembered the melody and tune in his mind, and it would be nice if he could write a song for others to sing.

If successful, plagiarizing a song would be much easier than copying a comic.

But the question is, how can songs collect negative emotions?
Sakurai Itsuki hasn't figured out how to do it specifically, but he follows the thinking of most creators.

Generally, when you can’t come up with an idea, go to the relevant environment and feel it, maybe you can come up with an idea.

Karaoke could be considered a relevant environment. And considering Sato Wakaba's personality, she didn't act without prior approval and dragged herself to karaoke at short notice, which was already an excellent performance.

Just obey her.

"Hey! Really?"

Sato Wakaba opened her mouth in surprise. She didn't expect Sakurai Itsuki to agree so easily.

"Oh, forget it."

"No, no, no! I have something else to do. It's a deal! Whoever goes back on his word is a puppy!"

Sato Wakaba quickly stood up and ran away as if she was afraid that Sakurai Itsuki would go back on his word.

Sakurai Itsuki looked at Sato Wakaba's receding back and couldn't help shaking his head, stuffing the little bread left in his hand into his mouth.

Then turn on your phone.

"what?"

Sakurai Itsuki was surprised to find that in his private messages, Qiu Ming Yuwei actually sent him a private message at 3:30 in the morning.

After opening the private message, as expected, it contained a bunch of obscene words ending with "I will rape you sooner or later."

I clearly didn’t post any tweets or update my comics yesterday.

Why did you suddenly send him a private message to scold him at this point?

Sakurai Itsuki scratched his head.

This week, there are more and more puzzling things.

However, Sakurai Itsuki became even more certain that Akimari Yumi was pretending to be a high school girl.

What normal high school girl wouldn't be awake at 3:30 in the morning on Monday?

Although Sakurai Itsuki didn't know how he had offended this god, he still sent a sweating soybean as usual.

The comics creation community has always been very small.

I don’t know when I’ll be able to meet this heavy-mouthed artist who talks nonsense online all day long.

He really wanted to see if this guy had the courage to put his words into practice.

Four p.m.

Compared to the two neighboring countries, in Tokyo, except for those who aim to enter top universities, other students who pursue a relaxed education have regained their freedom and are participating in various club activities or simply taking a rest.

At this point, Sakurai Itsuki felt fortunate.

If I were reborn next door, I probably would have absolutely no time to engage in so-called creative work.

In a karaoke bar near the school.

Sato Wakaba generously threw out the money and booked a private room.

As she received Sakurai Itsuki's salary, she also experienced the pleasure of being rich.

"Come to think of it, Sakurai-san is here today too!"

"Rukaye is really amazing. She was able to invite Sakurai over as well."

"Maybe Sakurai is here for the young lady!"

"Hahaha, if Ruoye heard you say this, she would definitely scold you!"

A group of fashionable men and women were having fun.

Sakurai Itsuki stood aside and listened silently without responding, as if he was isolated from the group.

Also silent was the eldest lady named Hanase Shion.

Compared to Sakurai Itsuki who was standing aside, Hanase Shion was naturally surrounded by everyone in the center of the crowd.

However, she just stood gracefully among the crowd.

It seems that she, like Sakurai Itsuki, has not integrated into the group.

Could it be that Changgu said this because they have something to talk about?
Sakurai Itsuki couldn't help but think.

Is this a different way of mocking him for not fitting in?

If that's the case, then she has a really bad personality.

In fact, Hane Shion doesn't like places like karaoke.

But she decided to make a change and make true friends, so she came here.

She turned her head slightly and noticed Sakurai Itsuki who was also standing outside the crowd.

Is it because of this reason that Sister Hase said that he and herself might have a lot to talk about?

But just because we don’t fit in, we can’t be considered like-minded, right?
I really want to be a cartoonist!
That guy probably wouldn't have such an idea.

He doesn't look like a cartoon character.
