Chapter 93 [Friends] The Rift

"Thank you so much, Asahi, for making the trip yesterday. I received all the gifts; I'm so sorry you had to spend so much."

The first thing Miyazawa Itsuki did was to thank everyone for what happened yesterday.

Naomi Asahina strives to maintain good relationships with everyone.

But that doesn't mean her kindness is a given.

Miyazawa Itsuki was extremely grateful and felt obligated to repay the kindness shown to him for going to such lengths for a friend he had only known for a short time.

"Um----"

Naomi Asahina gave a vague reply, her voice sounding somewhat hollow.

Miyazawa Itsuki was slightly surprised.

I thought it was based on my understanding of Naomi.

She would likely respond with a cheerful and energetic reply like, "That's how it is between friends, so don't be shy."

But in reality, the girl's reaction was strange.

She looked listless, and her gaze quickly shifted away from him.

Miyazawa Itsuki thought for a moment, then continued, "It was my fault for not properly entertaining Asahi-kun during his visit yesterday. So, I was thinking, if you have time—"

"Thank you, but Miyazawa-san, you don't need to take it too seriously. It's just what I should do as the class representative."

The girl quickly interrupted him.

Because Asahina's gaze had already turned away, she could only see her beautiful profile.

Therefore, he couldn't accurately judge the other person's expression when speaking.

""

But I had a feeling that Asahina Naomi didn't really want to continue talking.

The reply was also quite angular.

It's a polite but distant way of saying, "I see."

Miyazawa Itsuki nodded.

"Well then, thank you very much for visiting yesterday, Asahi-kun. If you need any help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."

The job of renting a boyfriend honed his ability to read people's expressions and moods.

He could tell that Naomi Asahina didn't seem to be in good spirits.

Therefore, this is not the time to speak. It would be more appropriate to let the other person calm down.

Let's talk about Her Highness the Saintess later.

If Naomi Asahina doesn't actually care at all, that would be even better.

Miyazawa Itsuki withdrew his gaze and began tidying up his books.

Beside her, Asahina secretly observed his reaction out of the corner of her eye.

Seeing that Miyazawa Itsuki was not upset by her deliberate distancing, her stiff heart gradually relaxed.

Even if he isn't treated with the same enthusiasm as before, Tree King is still Tree King.

They would not change their attitude because of this, and fully understood their own thoughts, thus ending the conversation.

Sorry, Tree.

I don't hate you at all, not even a little bit.

However, if I talk to you again, my mind will only become more and more confused.

It's all my fault.

I fell in love with someone I shouldn't have loved. Our relationship was clearly just a transaction of money, but I crossed the line without permission.

So this is also my punishment.

Although it still feels unbelievable that the other party is that legendary Holy Maiden, the reality is there and I have to accept it.

Shu-jun really does have a girlfriend, and she's very outstanding.

Their relationship had progressed to the point where they could visit each other's homes.

Once this fact is confirmed, it's tantamount to a death sentence.

I can't go any further.

All that's left to do is desperately endure and control your emotions.

When you fall in love with someone for the first time, your emotions are like a wild horse that has broken free of its reins, completely out of control.

But we must keep it under control, otherwise it will cause trouble for Tree Lord.

No one likes a third party who interferes in a couple's relationship.

Even after trying several times, I can't give up my feelings for Shu-kun. It's all meaningless anyway.

This is a relationship destined to be unblessed. All I can do is try to keep it isolated from new opportunities and let it wither away.

Naomi Asahina bit her lip so hard she could taste the rust.

The two morning classes passed quickly.

During break, Asahina was once again surrounded by people.

A girl excitedly rushed up to her and said, "Little Asahi, did you bring that lipstick I was really looking forward to seeing last week?"

Asahina was taken aback, then replied apologetically, "I'm sorry, Ninomiya-san, I didn't bring it today. Can I give it to you tomorrow?"

As a popular model, she often receives all sorts of gifts from her collaborators.

Her room was filled with many exquisite and expensive cosmetics.

Naomi Asahina is naturally beautiful, and makeup would actually diminish her charm, so she has never used it.

Meanwhile, her classmates, trying to curry favor with her, attempted to use the excuse of borrowing money to ask her for those expensive gifts.

Asahina Omi is not stingy with these things; in her view, they are the [fees] that must be paid to maintain a friendship.

It's just that recent events have taken up almost all of her energy.

I just didn't think of it for a moment.

The girl named Ninomiya's face quickly showed displeasure, but she quickly returned to normal.

"Oh, it's okay, it doesn't matter whether you bring Asahi or not, I'm just a little curious."

"Oh, by the way, Givenchy's new four-season themed lip glosses are really pretty. I remember Asahi even filmed some promotional videos for them, right? Do you have that one too?"

"----have."

"Could you bring it with you? I'd really like to see it!"

"I'm sorry, Ninomiya-san," Naomi said, hugging him. "That lip gloss hasn't been officially released yet, and due to a confidentiality agreement, I can't take it out of the house."

"Confidentiality agreement? What does that matter? If you don't tell and I don't tell, how will those businessmen know?"

Naomi Asahina looked troubled.

"I'm so sorry—"

This is a polite way of declining.

Ninomiya's expression stiffened.

It seems they didn't expect Naomi to refuse.

Normally, this beloved class monitor is always compliant with the requests of her friends.

Unless it's something particularly difficult, repeating it once or twice will usually make them agree.

However, Naomi surprisingly refused the request today.

Furthermore, due to his low spirits, the compensation and comfort he provided to her were not as thorough as before.

Ninomiya gave two dry laughs.

"Okay, then you should bring it next time you have the chance."

After saying that, she turned and left, returning to her own little circle.

As the class's standard hot girl, Ninomiya dyed her hair a blonde similar to Naomi's and deliberately shortened her skirt.

Anyone with eyes can see that she is imitating Asahina Oomi, getting close to the latter, and also trying to improve her status in the class.

However, her appearance wasn't as outstanding as Naomi's, and her personality was also quite harsh.

They didn't give a friendly look to otaku like Nakamura and Tanaka.

The difference in popularity between the two was inevitable.

Miyazawa Itsuki silently took all of this in.

The two friends in front of them also turned around at the same time.

Nakamura and Tanaka went to Miyazawa Itsuki's seat after class.

The three marginal students in the class also formed a group similar to a clique.

After being amazed by Miyazawa Itsuki's left-handed writing skills, the two were drawn to the group of girls nearby.

Like Miyazawa Itsuki, he listened to the entire process.

Yuta Nakamura whispered, "It feels like being sucked blood."

Although he didn't say it explicitly, both Miyazawa Itsuki and Tanaka understood what he meant.
