I push the kid!

President Saito Ichigo sent a message to Xiao Ai, asking them to go back and rest early after dinner today, for no reason at all.

Gao Feng Sanae even made a special phone call to confirm that she had not misunderstood his meaning, and then the five people packed up and walked out of the room.

The door of the training room belongs to Sanae Gaofeng, and she has the key.

"Eat, eat!" Mai Watanabe, who was walking in the front, hummed excitedly, "What shall we eat today? Corn bone soup, fish roe okonomiyaki, wasabi sashimi rice, I want to eat them all."

"Watanabe, the president didn't give us that much funding..." Ritsuko Ninomiya reminded her in a low voice beside her.

Four or five meters behind the two of them, Hoshino Ai and Makimura Taku were the third and fourth to come out. At this time, Takamine Sanae was still carefully locking the door.

"Xiao Ai." Gao Feng Sanae turned the key, the keyhole clicked, and the door was locked.

She looked up at Hoshino Ai and said, "Will you eat with us? Or will you go back and join President Saito and Miss Kyoko?"

"They have something to do, so we won't be with them today," Hoshino Ai replied, "I'll just go with you guys."

"Where's Makimura-kun?"

"I have work tonight."

"Oh, I thought you were going to join us." Takamine Sanae put away her keys and came over, saying to Hoshino Ai, "Go out first and ask those two what they want to eat."

Before Hoshino Ai responded, Takamine Sanae had already passed by her and Makimura Taku.

She is the tallest of the four members of B Komachi. Although her body proportions are not as good as Hoshino Ai, strictly speaking, she can still be considered tall.

Originally, Hoshino Ai would have chased after him, but Makimura Taku hadn't left yet. She turned to Makimura Taku and asked:

"Have you decided to leave like this? It's so hard to come here."

"I have work to do at six o'clock. I have to go back."

"A request for leave?"

"I asked for leave just to have dinner with you guys?"

In order not to be left too far behind the three people in front, the two chatted as they walked.

Xingye Ai touched her face and smiled: "It's not impossible."

Makimura Taku thought of Ogura Tomoki: "Maybe it will work."

"Really? How about you give her a call and ask?"

"Forget it," Makimura Taku looked ahead, "You four girls are having dinner together, what can I do there?"

"We are four girls training together, but you came anyway?" She smiled, glanced at Makimura Taku, and looked at the same place as him.

"What do you mean?"

"literal meaning!"

"I understand." Makimura Taku said, "I won't come here anymore. I can't do such a thing as disturbing others."

"Ah?" Hoshino Ai turned her head to look at him, as if trying to find some special marks on his face.

But Makimura Taku just kept walking without saying anything.

So she looked away and put her hands behind her body.

In the past, her steps would have been fast and big, but this time they were a little slow.

She glanced at the ceiling and spoke as if to herself: "If it were you, Makimura, it wouldn't be so strange to say such a thing."

“Is this ironic?”

"Not counting."

“I quite like that about myself.”

"Like this..." Hoshino Ai said, "Then I like it too."

"lie."

"You lied too!"

The two of them stopped unconsciously, and they didn't seem to realize that they were not moving.

Hoshino Ai was smiling, and she looked both proud and complacent. Makimura Taku stared at her, savoring the expression.

"Right, you lied?" Hoshino Ai asked with a gentle smile.

"……perhaps."

"absolute!"

"It's not that absolute. You can't see through lies."

“I sometimes understand you better.”

"what is this."

"I say, you two," as the two looked at each other, Mai Watanabe's complaining voice came from a distance, "You're walking so slowly, do you want to eat or not?"

"I'm coming right up!" Hoshino Ai waved at her.

"Then I'll go back first." After saying that, Makimura Taku was about to leave.

"Stay." Hoshino Ai grabbed the corner of his clothes.

Makimura Taku turned around and saw her laughing and said, "You lied. As a punishment, you have to stay here today."

"I lie less than one ten-thousandth of the times you do, right?"

"Compared to me, you're too cunning."

“It’s the same no matter who you compare it to.”

"You have to be honest."

“Just as much as possible.”

"Then try to be as honest as possible this time?"

"I don't understand you."

"You understand," she said. "Dine with us tonight!"

These words entered Makimura Taku's ears. He let out a breath, said wait a moment, walked aside and called Ogura Tomoki.

"I'm Makimura."

No answer.

"I'm Makimura."

Still no answer, but there was a faint, unreal cat meow.

He checked his phone, but the call was not hung up: "This is Makimura Taku."

"Hey, this is Youxi, please go ahead."

"Your phone was taken away by a cat?"

"It's in my hands. What's the matter? Mucun."

"I want to take a leave of absence."

"approve."

"Thanks, bye."

"Wait, that's it?"

"Yes."

"Nothing else?"

"good evening."

"..." Two seconds of silence, followed by a gentle gnashing of teeth, "Good evening, Makimura Taku."

"Goodbye."

He hung up the phone and said to Hoshino Ai, "Okay."

It was almost six o'clock, and the four members of B Komachi and Taku Makimura were sitting in a family restaurant for dinner.

"I'll go get some drinks, who wants any?"

"I want a glass of orange juice~"

"What about Ritsuko?"

"No, thank you. I'll just drink some water."

"Okay, Sanae, what do you want to drink?"

"Orange juice, too."

"Understood!" Mai Watanabe asked Taku Makimura, "Makimura-kun, tell me what you want."

"No need, I just need water." Makimura Taku was afraid that she couldn't take it.

"I understand. Let me see. Two glasses of orange juice. What should I drink for myself..." She thought for a moment and said, "I've decided. I'll have Coke!"

"That's too sweet." Takamine Sanae warned her, "Be careful or you'll gain weight."

"Watanabe doesn't drink this often," Ninomiya Ritsuko said, sounding unsure, "...it should be okay."

"No problem, no problem." Hoshino Ai stood up. "Watanabe and I will go together. I guess she won't be able to handle it alone."

"Xiao Ai——" Mai Watanabe was touched, "You are so kind."

"Let's go!"

"Let's go!" She walked away and then turned back, "Ritsuko, Ritsuko, don't let Sanae take my place!"

"Who wants to take your place?" Gaofeng Sanae glared at her.

"Uh..." Ritsuko Ninomiya felt uneasy.

"Let's go!" Mai Watanabe shouted again.

More than ten minutes later, the two finally came back, but they were delayed a little because the line in front of the self-service drink bar was a bit long.

"Sanae, your orange juice."
