——The price of freedom has always been painful.

"It's so hard to keep studying with so many temptations, such as casual dating, playing games, and climbing over the firewall to surf the Internet."

If Aragaki Jun put himself in his shoes, he would definitely be a bricklayer after graduating from high school.

So, what will he do if he lives another life?

Aragaki Jun has not yet decided on the answer to this question. He went to the faculty office with his commuter bag, but found that Hiratsuka Shizuka was not there.

Aragaki Jun took out his cell phone and checked it, and found that Hiratsuka Shizuka had sent him a message in advance, saying that there was a faculty meeting and she would introduce him to the club tomorrow.

“It’s not easy to be a teacher… either.”

Aragaki Jun left school and planned to go to the supermarket to buy some ingredients, but on the way he received a message from Aki Tomoya.

——They both work in the same convenience store and have a pretty good relationship.

Aragaki Jun originally wanted to get the matter over with, but he didn't expect that Aki Tomoya sent a message asking him to collect his previous salary.

When he heard that there was money to be made, Aragaki Jun immediately changed his route——

When he arrived at the convenience store, Aragaki Jun did not see Aki Tomoya, but the store manager was very warm when he greeted him.

After explaining his situation, Aragaki Jun submitted his resignation to the store manager. The other party sincerely wanted to retain him, but Aragaki Jun did not stay.

After more than ten minutes of meaningless socializing, Aragaki Jun finally walked out of the convenience store. He sent a thank you emoticon to Aki Tomoya and was about to go to the nearest supermarket when he suddenly heard Aki Tomoya's voice shouting.

——Aragaki Jun quietly walked to the side of the convenience store and saw Aki Tomoya as expected.

The girl opposite him was wearing a plain white T-shirt and loose overalls, and she also wore a big hat and black-framed glasses. It was obvious that she was cross-dressing to hide her identity.

However, the few strands of golden hair that appeared from the brim of her hat had already exposed her identity——

"Aki Tomoya! I warned you that ATRI -My Dear Moments- has received so much attention, it must be selling out quickly! Why didn't you line up in advance?!"

"I did go there early! But I was so engrossed in the novel that I didn't go there that early!"

"I don't care. I've already given you the money! I'll take the game you bought now. Is that okay with you?"

"No! I've been looking forward to this game for a long time, and I want to play it right away! I also have to update my blog, and many people are waiting for my review!"

"Hmph~ I reject your excuses. I'm taking the game. This is your punishment for not buying two copies!"

Eriri snorted proudly, stepped on Aki Tomoya's foot, and snatched the game box from him:

"Game, I'm going to take it back and play it first. When I'm done, if you still want it, I'll give it back to you."

"No! Give it back to me now! I want to play it for the first time!!!"

Tomoya Aki screamed like a victim of NTR, but he didn't dare to actually grab the game box.

Eriri excitedly prepared to leave with her spoils, but when she turned around, she saw Aragaki Jun with a shocked look on his face.

"Ayi-san, have you been robbed? Do you want to call the police?"

"It wasn't robbery, I gave him money to buy it!"

Eriri took a look at the school uniform of Aragaki Jun and knew that he and she were classmates in the same school. But Eriri thought that she had disguised herself and Aragaki Jun would not recognize her, so she was extremely arrogant:

However, Aragaki Jun would not indulge her. He snatched the game from her hand and walked over to return it to Aki Tomoya.

"you--!"

Eriri looked at her empty hands and rushed towards Aragaki Jun with bared teeth, trying to take the game in the box back.

But Aragaki Jun just dodged leisurely, and she couldn't even grab the corner of his clothes.

Eriri, who had poor physical strength, soon became exhausted and out of breath, but the game was still in Aragaki Jun's hands.

"Stop right there. Give me back the game."

"Is this...GALGAME? It turns out there are girls who like this kind of game."

Aragaki Jun glanced at the game cover and looked at Eriri with a playful look. The girl gnashed her teeth in hatred and suddenly rushed forward again.

But what Eriri didn't expect was that even at such a close distance, Aragaki Jun could easily dodge, and she instead missed and fell headfirst to the ground!

"what!"

"Be careful, you."

Aragaki Jun reached out and grabbed Eriri's collar just before her face was about to hit the ground, lifting her up like a chicken.

Eriri was really frightened. The girl looked at him in shock, with a watery color reflected in her blue eyes.

But what Aragaki Jun didn't expect was that when he put Eriri on the ground, the girl chose to repay kindness with enmity and snatched the game box away, holding her hands tightly to her chest, wary of Aragaki Jun snatching it away again.

Aragaki Jun didn't try to grab it this time. He crossed his arms and looked at Eriri, then turned to look at Aki Tomoya:

"Speaking of which, Ayi-san bought something for you, but you still treated him so badly. Is he your enemy?"

"Of course he doesn't...he is!"

Eriri seemed to be ashamed to express her true thoughts. She changed her answer halfway through her words and glared at Tomoya Aki proudly, reminding him to be careful with his wording.

Chapter 11 Yinglili asks for trouble

To bystanders, Eriri's expression and tone fully expressed her hostility and disdain towards Tomoya Aki, as if the relationship between the two was really bad.

But Aragaki Jun did not listen to her one-sided story. He looked at Aki Tomoya questioningly. Unexpectedly, he actually nodded.

It is difficult to explain how much grievance and anger Aki Tomoya felt in his heart, and how much humble and flattering past he thought of in an instant -

After all, he was just sixteen years old, at an age with the highest self-esteem. He would not flatter people he knew without any bottom line, and he would say anything when he was angry.

So, not only Aragaki Jun, but even Eriri did not expect that Aki Tomoya would actually agree!

In the suffocating silence, Akitomo couldn't see clearly, but Aragaki Jun saw the tears flashing in the girl's eyes.

Perhaps, at this moment, she, like Aki Tomoya, also saw traces of the past.

"Yes, we are enemies! Don't you want it? I'll give it back to you!"

Ying Lili stared with her eyes wide open, trying hard not to let the tears fall. She threw the game box in her hand and ran away without looking back.

Xin Yuanjun clearly saw the tears that fell from the girl's face after she turned around. Her pride and fearlessness were shattered to the ground...

"Enemy... isn't that good too?"

Tomoya Aki's voice was a little hoarse. He watched her run away with a stern face, picked up the game on the ground, said thank you to Aragaki Jun, and turned back to the store.

No one is really mean at heart. Being tolerant, flattering, and humble because of love does not mean having no bottom line after all.

People... always have moments of clarity, even if it's only for a short time.

Girls, on the other hand, always fearlessly test boundaries and bottom lines, again and again to confirm that they are loved.

"Alas... they are all too young."

Aragaki Jun knew that Aki Tomoya wanted to be alone, so he didn't bother him. On the contrary, Eriri, who had such low stamina, ran so fast, it wouldn't be surprising if she fell anywhere.

The two of them ran after each other, less than three minutes apart, but by the time Aragaki Jun caught up, Eriri had already disappeared.

"Zanyu Eriri, do you have the stamina to run out of the streets?"

Aragaki Jun felt that something was wrong. He walked to the right for two minutes, but did not see Eriri. He immediately turned back to search, and sure enough, he found her in an alley on the street.

At this time, Ying Lili, whose face had become like a little cat from crying, was still sobbing. The girl sat on the ground pitifully with her left foot raised awkwardly.

"You...you are chasing me...what do you want to do?!"

At this time, Eriri no longer had her previous tsundereness. When she saw Aragaki showing up on time, she was startled and wanted to get up and run away, but her left foot was badly sprained, and she almost fell again when she tried to get up by forcing herself.

Aragaki Jun rushed to her and supported her, then pushed her to the ground and motioned for her to sit still:

"Your ankle is so badly sprained. If you want to become a cripple in the future, keep moving around!"

"Ah? Will I...be lame?"

When Ying Lili heard that she might be disabled, she was immediately frightened and no longer cared about being afraid. She just wanted to confirm her condition.

Aragaki Jun rolled his eyes at her, squatted on the ground, rolled up her trouser legs, took off her shoes, revealing the girl's small feet in white boat socks:

"Don't move. I'll give you an emergency cold compress and then take you to the hospital."

"Um……"

Eriri was sitting on the ground, and she was obedient at this time. She watched Aragaki Jun lift her feet, and her toes curled up unconsciously.

Brigadier General Aragaki placed his hand on the edge of her socks, but did not pull them down hard. Instead, he looked at the girl irritably:

"Can you please stop using too much force? Your ankle is injured. I'm pulling your socks down hard. Does it hurt?"

"Oh……"

Eriri was a little suspicious of Aragaki Jun just now, but now she realized that she had misunderstood, so she obediently relaxed her feet and let him take off his socks.

The girl did not have a plump figure, but her feet were plump. Her white soles were slightly wrinkled, and her curled toes looked like pink and tender pearls.

Ying Lili ran for a long time in her sneakers. Her feet were slightly sweaty and the arches of her feet had a moist color, but there was no sour smell, but a very light scent of lotion.

"..."

Eriri's face had turned red and she looked away embarrassedly. Although she was extremely shy, she didn't dare to disturb Aragaki Jun's observation because she might become disabled in the future.

Aragaki Jun didn't speak in a hurry. He held the girl's feet and looked at them back and forth. He pressed her arch and moved it, then pinched her toes and shook it. He stopped only when Eriri said it hurt.

"I'll go get some ice and then go to the clinic."

"How? Will I be lame?!"

"Don't worry, it's not that serious. Wait a moment."

Aragaki Jun placed the shoes that Eriri took off, put some white boat socks under them, and then placed her ankles on them.

Just now, Eriri had a very bad impression of Aragaki Jun, but at this moment, when he turned and left, she actually felt a little uneasy.

What relieved Eriri was that Aragaki Jun went in another direction and did not go to the convenience store where Aki Tomoya was on duty.

"It's... not bad."

Although Eriri is a tsundere, she is only serious with people close to her. She acts like a blonde lady in front of strangers.

In fact, Tomoya Aki has mentioned Jun Aragaki to Eriri several times, saying that he is his senior at work and a very capable person.

How should I put it? Just because Jun Aragaki, an orphan, was able to get into Mingyuan High School, Eriri thought he was quite amazing, but she didn't think he was as amazing as Tomoya Aki.
