In response, the boy who saw Hoshi just nodded in agreement without mercy, and then, with an indifferent expression, he delivered a powerful blow that was extremely effective.

"That's true. I've always had a rather unreliable impression of you, Isshiki... Do the members of the club you manage really have any complaints against you privately?"

"Wow—those who presume to call others unreliable are the most unreliable. I hope you'll keep this in mind, senpai."

Well, she seemed to be irritated because she had never succeeded.

"Speaking of the club... Speaking of seniors."

But this time, for some reason, Isshiki quickly freed himself from his unhappy mood, and looked at Hoshimi, who was ready to run away at any time, with a somewhat subtle look.

"The club you joined that includes Kasumigaoka Utaha-senpai and Sawamura Eriri-senpai..."

"Oh, you mean the club that Aki founded?"

"Well……"

Originally, Isshiki still took his feelings into consideration and deliberately avoided mentioning the somewhat sensitive name in front of Xing Jian - but he himself said Aki Tomoya's name as if nothing had happened.

"I've already quit that club, and as far as I know, all the other members have also quit."

“Oh…I see.”

Isshiki tilted her head thoughtfully, and Xingjian smiled as if seeing through her thoughts and spoke.

"It seems that the position of collecting news materials at the news agency is more suitable for you than being the manager of the football club, Isshiki."

"What? Gossip and rumors are just a girl's thing, senpai. And..."

The flaxen-haired girl puffed up her cheeks cutely like a hamster and looked at Xingjian, who remained expressionless, with pitiful and innocent eyes.

"Obviously, I'm just worried about whether the senior who had such a bad reputation a while ago is still being ostracized by others."

Miss Isshiki's tone sounded pitiful and sincere - if her expression hadn't been so serious that it seemed a little too real, Xingjian would probably have believed it.

In fact, I have also considered the complete destruction of the lone wolf line (funny) and the harem dlc should be added to this line

By the way, the current inter-posts still haven't guessed my idea (dog head) Let's wait and see

A Never-Ending Week at the World Line's Divergence: Chapter 2: The Arrangement of Fate (?) (Part 1)

"Come, come—tell the truth."

"Well, actually, I'm a little curious about whether there were any pleasant things happening between you and those two when you were in a club full of beautiful girls."

Isshiki stuck out his tongue mischievously, looking frank and malicious, as if saying, "Now that I'm exposed, I won't pretend anymore."

While Xingjian felt relieved that "it's just as I expected", he also inadvertently curled his lips to express his helplessness.

It seems that even Isshiki didn't realize that there was actually a Miss Kato Megumi in their club. The people he mentioned were Shiwa and Eriri.

"I'm sorry, there's no wine or stories between us."

"Eh—I don't believe it. Senior, you look... well, honestly. Spending all day with those two beauties and not having any interesting youth love comedy stories unfold is not at all consistent with the development of a youth novel."

"Don't apply the standards of youth campus novels to real life... Besides, the idea that just because you're in the same club with two beautiful girls, you can have a sweet and sour love story with them is too unrealistic."

What kind of male-oriented youth campus romance novel has brainwashed this kid?

"Eh... so, you, Senpai, Kasumigaoka-senpai, and Sawamura-kun are just friends with you?"

Hey, Miss Isshiki. It's rather rude to have such a blatant expression of doubt and lamentation on your face, as if to say, "You haven't even managed one?"

"Ah, we're just friends. But apart from one particular guy, we former club members all have pretty harmonious relationships. We're even planning a trip together soon, so I won't bother you with that, Isshiki-kun."

Xingjian, who was feeling somewhat uninterested in this conversation, curled her lips and was thinking of an excuse to get out of this situation. At this moment—

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a force flying straight towards him from the corner of his vision.

"Well--!"

"ah--?!"

Almost subconsciously, he turned around and swept his leg at the round object rushing towards the two of them. Isshiki was startled by his sudden reaction and fluttered back like a bird.

When the impact force remaining on his toes gradually faded and Xingjian's eyes caught the object he had kicked away, he belatedly noticed -

“…What? It’s football.”

Isshiki, who had come to his senses, also narrowed his eyes and saw clearly the ball that had just flown towards him. The expression on his frightened face gradually relaxed.

"Hey—you guys playing football over there, pay attention!"

Xingjian put his hand to his mouth and shouted loudly to the boy in a football jersey who was running towards the rebounded football on the football field. After the latter caught the ball steadily, he scratched the back of his head embarrassedly and gave the two of them an embarrassed smile.

"Really...at least keep an eye on people."

Xingjian shook the leg that had just kicked the ball subconsciously, then turned his head to look at Isshiki Ikari who was still a little unresponsive.

"By the way, Isshiki-kun, you're so concerned about my love life—"

The figure that was blocking his way just now suddenly moved slightly to the side, allowing Isshiki to recover from the aftermath of his shock.

The black-haired boy who had just kicked the ball away from him with a clean sweeping kick wiped the sweat that had slid down his cheek with a smile. His originally young and delicate face now faintly revealed a handsomeness and maturity that was completely different from his usual self.

"It's really hard not to think you have some other intentions towards me."

Although she knew that this was just the boy's counterattack for her previous malicious teasing, and there was a clear hint of nonchalant ridicule in his eyes, the girl with flaxen medium-length hair still froze for a moment.

She didn't know whether it was the boy's teasing that made her speechless, or the manly look he displayed at this moment.

"Well, I hope we can talk about something more profound next time we meet—instead of just talking about love and romance. Otherwise, people might think you're up to something bad, Isshiki-chan."

The black-haired boy smiled and waved, then before Isshiki could react, he shook his head and walked away.

“Ah—mm…”

By the time Isshiki Caiyu came to her senses, the young man with steady steps had already walked away for a long time.

She could only stare at the back, pouting unwillingly, her eyes full of displeasure and resentment.

"What?... You normally look quite gentle and refined, but when you act cool, you have a lot of tricks up your sleeve."

The girl's cheeks were puffed up like a hamster with its mouth full of food, and her expression looked full of anger and hostility.

"Besides, what's interesting about it...who would be fascinated by a senior who has no special skills, doesn't like sports, and whose academic performance is not even outstanding?"

He's not that good-looking...at most, he can dress up as a woman and pass as a real guy among a group of pretty girls.

Well, this guy isn't a popular type anyway...

"Yeah, that type of guy isn't the type that's popular with girls."

"Whoa?!"

At some point, a blonde, blue-eyed girl jumped out from beside him and calmly took over what he was saying. This caught Isshiki Caiyu off guard and frightened her so much that she shrank to the side and almost lost her balance.

But before she could blurt out the words "Who are you?", the girl with blonde hair, blue eyes and a hot girl look tilted her head towards her and smiled meaningfully.

"He can't say nice things to girls, he's not popular with women, and he has no experience interacting with girls—this dull, wooden, straight guy should just be thrown aside."

The blonde girl seemed to see through Isshiki's thoughts. She patted her shoulder while speaking earnestly, and finally walked away with a relaxed and happy expression, saying, "Yeah, there's nothing to be obsessed with that kind of guy."

Isshiki, who had been inexplicably spoken to, was the only one left standing there. He looked at this guy who suddenly appeared and left with a confused look on his face as he walked further and further away and finally disappeared in the direction the black-haired boy had just walked towards.

It was indeed difficult for her to process these continuous developments in her brain in time.

………Speaking of what happened just now, does this count as being hit on?

----

After school in the afternoon, it was still an ordinary time for Xingjian.

After taking off his sportswear and changing into his school uniform, he endured the sweat and discomfort all over his body, dragged himself out of the teaching building with his schoolbag.

I went to the science lab to meet Futaba at noon, so there was no need to bother her in the afternoon.

Just after class, he happened to bump into Kato who was coming out of the next class. The two of them just greeted each other like ordinary friends, then said "go home early", smiled and waved goodbye to each other.

Well, Xingjian can somewhat understand Eriri's feeling of being eager to drag everyone out for a trip even though it seems awkward to others.

When we were still in a club, everyone seemed to be bound together by some kind of common "identity" or "positioning".

Because they have an indescribable sense of common identity with each other, even if they don't get along at first and are not familiar with each other at all, they will eventually start to communicate.

But once this sense of shared identity disappears, and the shared theme of a particular place or place of belonging suddenly ceases to exist, the already precarious connection will suddenly become even more fragile.

After all, this is how people are. Due to the increase in distance and many other force majeure reasons, people who used to be familiar with each other can quickly go from being able to talk about everything to being the most familiar strangers with nothing to say to each other.

If there is no regular and close communication for a long time, no matter how inseparable the friendship was, as time goes by, the two people will gradually become people from two different worlds.

Well, this is probably what Eriri is worried about.

In fact, she was also subtly conveying her implicit feeling that "You are all very important people to me, and I don't want to drift away from you in the future."

Thinking of this, Xingjian raised his lips, lifted the shoulder strap of his schoolbag behind him, and slightly quickened his pace.

If Eriri really thought so... then it seemed that he had no reason to conflict with her.

After all, in this regard, Hoshimi's ideas are actually the same as Eriri's.

If she's worried about things changing and people changing, then she should try not to let that happen.

Xingjian thought so as he walked down the stairs with brisk steps.

However, a figure leaning quietly against the wall beside the stairwell attracted his attention and gradually slowed down his pace.

It was a blonde girl who was waiting quietly at the stairwell on the first floor, with her top tied to her waist, revealing her white shirt and delicate skin.

She wore a makeup that was very common and popular among hot girls, her clothes were a little fancy, and her hair seemed to have been intentionally permed to give it a slightly curly feel.

Xingjian recognized who the visitor was at a glance.

As if he had anticipated that he would come down the stairs at this moment, the latter raised his head and met Hoshimi's gaze with a vibrant smile.

"Good afternoon~Xiaoqing!"

Then a bear hug suddenly fell on the boy.

"Pfft—Sister, sister? Why are you here?"

Xingjian, who was caught off guard by the soft impact, subconsciously took a step back. After feeling the touch of being wrapped around her waist, she froze her hands in the air, not daring to move, feeling like she was about to cry.

Well, now Miss Hayasaka Ai is in full-on hot girl mode, so it's understandable that she would express her feelings so frankly.

"Really? Of course I rushed over after receiving your text, Xiaoqing. Why didn't you tell me beforehand that you were going on a vacation with friends, such a big deal?"

Miss Hayasaka Ai didn't care about the curious looks from others and still hugged the boy's body. The slight complaint in her expression quickly turned into lively playfulness.

"Besides, I always asked you, Xiaoqing, to pick me up from my school. Now it's my turn to come to your school to find you. Is there anything wrong with that?"

"Uh...it seems like there's really nothing wrong?"

"That's right~ You're such a good kid, come and pat my head~"

Well, to be honest, Miss Hayasaka Ai, who loves to act coquettishly and has the demeanor of an understanding older sister, is really cute and has an extremely charming personality - if she were not his real sister, Hoshimi might really be fascinated by this type of girl.

Hayasaka let go of Hoshimi's waist at an appropriate moment, but did not stop there - she took her brother's hand as if it was a matter of course, and walked towards the school gate with him side by side intimately.

Of course, even though Hoshimi wasn't very good at this kind of close contact with others, Miss Hayasaka still acted as if she didn't hear anything - anyway, even if she raised an objection, it would be rejected. (laughs)

"By the way, I told uncle and mom that Xiaoqing is going on a trip with her friends."

"Eh……"

"Xiaoqing, it's not convenient for you to tell them in person, so you told me this matter instead, which also means you're asking me to be a mouthpiece."

"Well... indeed, I don't deny that."

Xingjian, who was being held by the blonde girl and had to endure the surprised looks of passers-by, changed from shyness and discomfort at first to indifference and nonchalance - it was more like a self-paralysis of giving up.

"So, what did they say?"

"Mom doesn't have any objections. Uncle just reminded you to be careful. After all, you're playing with girls."

Realizing that the smile on his sister's face suddenly had an indescribable strange meaning, the Xingjian boy curled his lips helplessly.

"As expected, if I'm the only boy hanging out with so many girls, people will definitely think something strange..."

"Yeah, that's right. So during the family gathering, I wanted to vote against your idea of ​​going on this trip, Xiaoqing."

"Wait, there are so many complaints. Let me sort them out first - why wasn't I at our family gathering? And why did you even implement a voting system for this travel plan?"

"Well, it's because you were working while we were having the party, Xiaoqing."
