I, who advocate giving up, feel like a disqualified person

However, this habit has become a method of expression nowadays, called "metonymy" or "metaphor".

Maybe it’s because Rin Hanekawa’s Chinese level is not that good, I just compared the noisy crowd to the sunshine. In fact, what I hate is not the sunshine, but the noisy atmosphere.

But she gave me this...

“So this thing…”

I picked up the sunglasses and looked at them closely.

Although it's useless for blocking people, it's well-intentioned of her...I might as well wear it for now.

Chapter 6: Execution Work and Men's Romance

Where did everyone go...

"Sheji... Hey? Where did you get these sunglasses?"

Senior Jia, who came out of nowhere, suddenly patted my shoulder to get my attention.

"...Nothing much. By the way, where did you go?"

I was distracted for a moment and you disappeared. I am very sad as a person with poor direction.

"I originally wanted to see if there were any fun things to do, but I just saw Rin Yukawa, and then I heard her temporarily set up parasols and lounge chairs in an area." He explained with a little helplessness, "And Haozi and your friend are here too, why don't you come over and help out."

What a surprise! It turns out that this guy Rin Hanekawa not only orders me around, but also my seniors... It's a relief that you guys are so obedient.

Oh, yes, she's the senior student of the seniors. It seems that it's okay to follow her orders.

"Okay..." It wouldn't be appropriate for me to be the only one idle.

Are we going to waste unnecessary energy again... Congratulations.

"Come to think of it." Senior Jia suddenly looked at me as he was leading the way for me. "Those sunglasses really don't suit you."

"shut up..."

Don't say such things.

....................

"Oh, have you adapted yet?"

Lin Yuchuan seemed to be directing Senior Sun and Liu Yan just now, but when he saw me, he greeted me enthusiastically.

"It's okay...at least I don't feel annoyed anymore." I replied, scratching my hair.

"Well, that's good." She nodded. "Then I'll leave these to you."

As he spoke, he pointed to several large parasols and lounge chairs that had not yet been unfolded.

"Of course it is possible, but is this made specially for you?" I asked my question.

"Of course, a gentleman should serve a lady."

"Don't say such unreasonable things as a matter of course..." I responded a little unhappy.

But after all, I received her care this time, so I still did my job even though I complained a little.

“Well, good luck everyone, I’ll go over there and pick up the ladies who haven’t made it yet.” She waved to us and ran away.

“…Ah, it really is…”

I opened the umbrella reluctantly and looked for a place to put it.

"Don't be so lackluster, young man of the country~" Senior Jia suddenly came over, his words revealing a sense of conspiracy.

"Yes, yes~ There are still many things that can cheer us up~" Liu Yan on the side also came over with the same expression and tone as his predecessor.

Why are these two acting so well together now? I always feel like it would be more appropriate for them to be in the same room.

"Hey...what are you guys planning to do..." I asked worriedly.

"It's a rare opportunity to come here, so let's not do anything dangerous." Senior Sun also... seemed to be persuading.

"No, no, no, Haozi." He suddenly hugged his senior's neck and put his face close to him. "You said it just now, right? This is a rare opportunity. Shouldn't this be a time for a man to practice his romantic side?"

"Yes, that's men's romance!" Liu Yan also echoed.

"Romantic, sister! Are you two trying to drill through the sky?"

It’s a pity that you two don’t have mechas.

"Wrong!" Senior Jia corrected me, "When it comes to the seaside, the beach, and bikinis, don't you have any idea at all?"

"...Uh-huh?"

Senior Sun and I exchanged glances.

"What idea?" "What to think?"

Ah, we asked it together.

"You guys really don't understand..." Senior Jia sighed helplessly, then patted Liu Yan's shoulder, "Junior, you explain it to them."

"Yeah." Liu Yan nodded, then said to me with a smug look, "Sunshine, the seaside and the beach, a man's romance is of course beach volleyball!"

"Oh." So that's how it is...

"Hmm..." The senior next to him seemed to understand.

It doesn't seem like something too exciting, calling it romantic is a bit...

"That's not right!" Senior Jia finally lost his patience and looked a little anxious: "Why are you all so rude?! Of course I have to strike up a conversation at a time like this!"

..............

Many people may not believe it.

The word "chatting up" actually does not originally refer to chatting up strange beautiful women, but to talking to any stranger or looking for topics to ease awkwardness.

Come to think of it, I seem to be the one who often strikes up conversations...in an awkward way.

Well, I have to thank Senior Jia for this knowledge. I have to say that people who are good at Chinese are really amazing.

So he used this statement to try to persuade us to go with him.

"What do you think? This is not an unhealthy activity, but a way to promote trust and communication between people." Senior Jia talked about it, but the topic was so unprofessional.

I didn't expect you to be such a senior.

"Even though I said that...I'm not interested."

Not to mention talking to a strange girl, even talking to a stranger is difficult enough... Besides, after going through the experience of looking for her... I no longer care about boys and girls making friends.

"Me too. We're here to have fun, sure... but this isn't something middle schoolers should be doing, right?"

Well said, Senior Sun, you are indeed a serious person.

"Oh~ What a bummer! What are you all so afraid of?"

This is not something to be afraid of, if you are not careful you will get beaten.

"Oh, I really care about this. How do you do this kind of thing?" Liu Yan seemed very interested...

The senior's attention was also attracted by his enthusiasm, and he immediately showed a happy smile:

"Look, this junior is quite clever. What's your name?"

"My name is Liu Yan, senior."

"OK, Junior Liu Yan, please look at the beach in front of you. What do you see?" He asked even though he knew the answer.

"Well... a lot of people." Was this a deliberate answer?

"A lot of what people?" You have a very frivolous smile, senior.

"Hmmmm~ Lots of girls to chat up."

“OK, very spiritual!”

Ah... this is really stupid. Is it a good thing or a bad thing for these two to get together? Besides, it's okay for them to try to recruit us, but they even acted awkwardly...

"I'll give you one last chance. If you change your mind now..." Senior Jia turned his head and looked at us again.

“No, no, no~” “No.”

Senior Sun and I both shook our heads and refused before he finished speaking.

"Hmph~" He glanced at us with disdain, "Youngster Liu Yan, follow me closely!"

"Oh! Got it."

..................

"So, what should we do?"

After watching their slightly wretched backs leave, I asked the seniors beside me.

"Ah... I think it's better to finish the work first?" He said, looking at the parasol behind him.

"...These two guys didn't even finish before leaving."

"Ahaha, that's just how Li and Du are. They're always impetuous when it comes to things." He said, picking up the umbrella. "Besides, the workload isn't that big, so let's just consider it as volunteering to share the burden between them."

"...You really are such a pushover."

I don’t know what to say, this is the feeling he gives people...well, although he can be unreliable sometimes.

"You still have the nerve to say that about me...Aren't you also a pushover?"

"I don't think so."

Although I sometimes get involved in other people's troubles, it is also my own will. I will never do anything I don't want to do.

"Come to think of it, you haven't been here since you took over as club leader. How cruel of you."

"Because there are various reasons. Besides, I'm not a member of your club."

“…Well, if that’s okay…” Senior seemed to be about to say something, but he seemed to notice something out of the corner of his eye and looked behind me.

"Um?"

I also turned around out of curiosity and found that the girls were walking towards here under the leadership of Rin Hanekawa.

"Nothing, just have fun."

As if talking to myself, the words of my senior inexplicably appeared in my ears.

..................

"Sheji Sheji, do you think my swimsuit looks good?"

As soon as Lingcan came up, she showed me her seemingly immature figure, and her swimsuit was a bit like a children's style, and it looked light yellow overall.

"I always feel it's a bit childish."

I unconsciously expressed my feelings.

"Stop nagging! You know, it's already a great honor for me to be able to buy a swimsuit like this. And you're still being picky even after I showed it to you like this!"

While scolding me, he didn't forget to step on my foot.

In fact, regardless of her figure, Ling Shen's fair skin and cute appearance can actually add a lot of points to her, but... there is no harm without comparison.

“It’s actually quite cute…”

Even though it's so small, it still hurts when I step on it hard.

"Oh... hum, wouldn't it be nice if you said that at the beginning?"

"..." Just think of it as a method of first suppressing and then praising...

"Speaking of which, where are those two people?"

Rin Hanekawa suddenly intervened in the conversation between me and Ayano.

"Ah... Looks like he's going to make friends."

After all, it's not a good thing, so try to put it in a more positive way.

"Oh, that won't do. We have so many pretty girls here. What if someone comes to chat us up? In times like this, we have to rely on your aura to keep the place under control. If you run away without permission, it will be really difficult to deal with you."

“…”

Is this indirectly saying that Senior Sun and I don't have enough momentum?

"Brother! Stupid brother!"
