“I saw everything: you two bullying the girl, and Kitahara’s act of bravery.”
Xingyuefeng explained to the butterflies facing all four directions.
"But even if it was an act of heroism, don't we think the strike was a bit too heavy-handed?"
Sifang Diezi hesitated. Xingyue Feng wouldn't lie, and she roughly understood what was going on. But after all, he was her classmate, and she didn't want to make things worse.
"These two were the ones who started it; Kitahara was just defending himself."
"Yes, Sōsuke is very skilled, and he held back."
Xingyueling nodded in agreement.
Ishida Shoya and Shimada Kazuki's expressions turned somewhat unpleasant. They couldn't afford to offend the disciplinary committee members and the student council, given their backing from the school and the parent committee.
Sifang Diezi also fell silent. School bullying can be a big deal or a small deal. Ultimately, the key is the victim's attitude. As the class monitor, she didn't want the relationships between the students in the class to become too strained.
But the key issue is that Nishimiya Shoko is disabled, which makes things much more complicated and serious.
"Actually... it was all Ishida who led the charge. I was just watching from the sidelines; it had nothing to do with me."
Suddenly, Shimada Kazuki, who was standing to the side, spoke up and immediately began to distance himself from his former best friends.
"Huh? You just took her hearing aid too."
Ishida Shoya is also in the news; this guy actually tried to run away on his own.
"You threw it to me, I just caught it!"
"Don't you have made any mistakes at all?"
"Are you really going to drag me into this?!"
These two guys, they've already admitted it before the matter has even been settled? Sifang Diezi had a bit of a headache; now there was no need to say anything more about compromise.
However, since that was the case, Yoshiko was not one to cover things up, and she immediately became serious.
"We will issue a public reprimand, and we will report the details of the incident to the student council and Mr. Sai. He will then arrange a meeting with your parents."
Xingyue Feng nodded, offering no objection.
“I will go as an eyewitness. I believe the president will deal with the first case of school bullying in the new semester seriously.”
The two student council members worked together seamlessly and quickly brought the matter to a close. Only Ishida Shoya and Shimada Kazuki, still arguing, remained, their faces pale.
Chapter Thirty-Six: A Second Move
"Hey, Xingyue, Ling, what brings you back?"
After dealing with the two troublesome individuals, Kitahara Sosuke forced a smile and awkwardly greeted the Hoshizuki sisters.
It's strange, why do I feel so guilty? It's like I've sent my wife away to secretly flirt with a beautiful woman, only to be caught red-handed by my wife who's following me.
Kitahara Sosuke shook his head, clearing the strange thought from his mind.
"Humph."
Hoshizuki Kaede gave him a cold laugh, ignoring his words. She walked past Kitahara Sōsuke and looked at Nishimiya Shoko behind him. Shoko stood there quietly, giving her a faint smile.
Hmph, nothing special. Did this guy make an excuse to run away just for this girl? She's as skinny as a chicken. Does he like the sickly type?
She smiled at Nishimiya Shoko and extended her hand in greeting: "Hello, I'm Hoshizuki Kaede, and this is my younger sister, Hoshizuki Rin."
"I am Ling..."
Xingyueling waved to her sister.
"I am Nishimiya Shoko, nice to meet you."
Glass held up her notebook.
"Huh, this child?"
Hoshizuki Kaede looked at Kitahara Sousuke with a questioning gaze.
"Nishimiya lost her hearing due to an illness when she was a child, and now she can only communicate with everyone by writing."
Yomo Choko explained that she was the class representative of Nishimiya Shoko's class, and Sai-sensei had already told her about the transfer student. Come to think of it, she had been entrusted with taking care of this child, yet she had failed in her duty.
"I see."
Hoshizuki Kaede quickly understood. She gently took the notebook from Nishimiya Shoko, wrote her name on it, and added "Nice to meet you" at the end.
Shoko hugged her laptop and immediately broke into a happy smile.
"We shouldn't have let those two guys leave so easily."
Upon learning of Shoko's situation, Kaede crossed her arms angrily, thinking it was going too far to bully a hearing-impaired person.
"Sigh, actually, I also bear some responsibility. As the class monitor, I should have paid more attention to these things." Yomo Choko lowered her head with some shame and apologized to Shoko: "I'm sorry, Nishimiya-san."
"No, Sifang is very kind to me."
Shoko quickly hugged the other person, shook her head to indicate that it wasn't Choko's fault, and held up her notebook to comfort her.
"We also need to thank... Kitahara-kun, for preventing this matter from becoming more serious."
Yomo Choko hesitated for a moment, then stared at Kitahara Sousuke with a strange look. This guy clearly took advantage of me, and I'm supposed to thank him?
"No, you're welcome. It's what I should do."
Kitahara Sosuke nodded awkwardly to Yoshikazuki, the feeling of the large fruit in his hand still vivid in his mind. Fortunately, he was far away and Hoshizuki Kaede didn't see it.
However, the other person was quite nice. Despite being a young lady from Kyoto, she was very approachable and her serious and responsible demeanor was very endearing.
The only problem is... Kitahara Sosuke stared at the appraisal panel, lost in thought.

Assessment result: The eldest daughter and sole heir of the prestigious Shikaga family in Kyoto. After falling out with her family to be with her beloved brother, she came to Tokyo alone to study. On the surface, she maintains a proper and elegant image as a young lady, but in reality, she enjoys trying all sorts of taboo things. She occasionally slips into the Kyoto dialect when speaking.
"In that case, to express my apology, let me take Nishimiya home."
Shoko waved her hand in surprise, then immediately picked up her notebook: "It's okay, I can do it myself."
"Choko is a very nice person, Nishimiya-kun, you can rest assured. Besides, knowing Choko's personality, even if you disagree, she will still follow you all the way."
Xingyue Feng jokingly teased her friend, "Otherwise, she won't be able to sleep tonight."
"We, we would never do something so rude."
Yoko punched Hoshizuki Maple's shoulder in a huff, then ran over and grabbed Nishimiya Shoko's hand. The child standing there looked like a lonely camellia flower, making one want to protect her.
"Let's go, Nishimiya-kun, let's go home together."
"Go ahead, go ahead, and make sure you get along well with Choko." Hoshizuki Kaede waved her hand with a smile, casually stepping on Kitahara Sousuke's shoe: "Kitahara-kun, you don't mind, do you?"
"Of course I don't mind..."
Kitahara Sosuke forced a smile.
Shoko nodded obediently, took out a pen and quickly wrote "Bye-bye, see you tomorrow" in her notebook, then held it up above her head to show everyone. She then tore off a piece of paper and handed it to Kitahara Sousuke and the others; it had her LINE account on it.
She wrote that she wanted to be friends with everyone.
"Well, see you tomorrow."
Kitahara Sousuke waved to the two of them.
"Hmph, everyone's already gone, and you're still looking!"
Xingyue Feng angrily rubbed his feet against Kitahara Sousuke's feet, as if he wanted to crush some trash.
"You stood me up just for this girl?"
"No, I only just met her myself."
Kitahara Sosuke finally pulled his foot back, muttering to himself, "Woman's face, April weather, why did she suddenly get angry?"
"Hmph, even if you want to be a hero and save the damsel in distress, there should be a limit. If I hadn't been here today, you might have been framed by those two guys for violently beating up your classmate."
Boys are always like this, acting without considering the consequences, Hoshizuki Kaede said to Kitahara Sōsuke with a displeased tone.
"Do you care about me?"
Kitahara Sosuke, with a shameless grin, moved closer. The girl was being disingenuous, but he could still understand the concern in her words.
Looking at the other person's face so close to hers, and even feeling their breath, Xingyue Feng blushed slightly.
Suddenly, the clean and efficient movements Kitahara Sosuke had made when he dealt with those two people flashed through her mind. "That guy's pretty cool," Hoshizuki Kaede thought to herself.
"Who cares about an idiot like you!"
"Yes, yes, thank you for saving my life, Lord Feng."
"Hmph, that's pretty much it."
"Rin helped too."
Xingyueling raised her hand like a primary school student to make herself more noticeable.
