I wonder if some old fan has felt the resentment from the old EVA fans.
"Ah, in that case, how about we go shopping together the weekend after next?"
At this time, Baiyin came back to his senses from the dirty jokes, turned his pen, and pretended to be calm as he joined the conversation between the two boys.
"There's a new shopping mall opening soon in the city, and I'm planning to go shopping there."
——Well, what Baiyin is targeting is actually the welcome promotion of the new mall.
"Ah, the president and I are thinking the same thing."
Although Ishigami looks rather gloomy, he is unexpectedly much gentler in front of Shirogane, and his tone is much calmer.
"Xingjian, you will go too, right?"
"?"
The black-haired boy, who had originally planned to remain silent, paused as he picked up the teacup.
Logically speaking, shouldn't it be forgotten?
"I remember you didn't have any shifts scheduled on weekends, so you should be free, right?"
Baiyin's usually sharp eyes did not make the gentle smile on the corner of his mouth look scary.
"Going out to play would be a change of pace, what do you think?"
It seemed to be expected.
"Hey, Hoshimi-kun and the president are actually closely connected in private?"
Fujiwara exclaimed in surprise, but her wording was so subtle that Shinomiya, who was sitting opposite Hoshimi and picking up the teacup with dignity, froze for a moment.
"...Ah, your relationship is truly enviable."
Although she looked calm on the surface, the slightly trembling teacup in her hand showed that things were not that simple.
Shinomiya Kaguya was a little puzzled - how could Shirogane Miyuki have such a good relationship with this young man in front of her who seemed to have no special features or strengths except that he was a kind person (?).
Although they are not classmates from the same school and their personalities seem very different, Shirogane's attitude towards Hoshimi is much better than Shinomiya's expectation of an "ordinary colleague relationship".
Very concerned.
This Cheng Yaojin-like guy who suddenly appeared halfway is really worrying.
And, most importantly.
"The president has never shown me such a gentle expression!!"
Miss Kaguya, pouting like a hamster and blushing, was sulking alone in a corner where the three boys couldn't see her - only Secretary Fujiwara was standing beside her, smiling and muttering "Kaguya-san is so cute" while pinching her cheeks.

Today I will still update more!!
I have finished writing this volume, and it is almost time to start writing. I still have tens of thousands of manuscripts.
I also want to release it quickly so everyone understands (dog head)
Without further ado, let’s get started!!!
Aki Tomoya can't predict the future: Chapter 8 Girlfriend and Gundam, which one do you choose? (V)
"Hayasaka!! What's wrong with your little brother?!"
After school, the blonde girl leaned against the wall in front of the teaching building, seemingly waiting for someone, and looked at the text message from Shinomiya Kaguya on her phone, and couldn't help but sigh.
"You just learned how to use a cell phone a while ago, and yet your first text message to me is something like this..."
Go back and listen to her complaints carefully.
After noticing a figure gradually walking towards her, the girl named Hayasaka Ai immediately suppressed the indifference on her face and replaced it with a "school-style" energetic smile.
"Yahoo—Xiaoqing!"
She nimbly rushed towards the black-haired boy walking towards her, taking two steps at a time, and after he reacted with a slight "hmm", she took his arm.
"You actually came to our school to pick me up again, how thoughtful~"
Xing Jianqing, who came out of the student union and went straight to the teaching building, grinned. She felt a little difficult with this guy in front of her who had shown a cold look when they met last time, but this time he was able to remain calm and pretend nothing happened.
He understood that this was the mode Hayasaka Ai would switch into at school - a cheerful and energetic hot girl.
"So, what did you do to Miss Kaguya?"
However, after Hayasaka leaned close to her ear and said this in a cold and emotionless tone, Hoshimi understood the true face of this person.
It appeared, it appeared, another layer of pattern appeared.
After asking this question, Hayasaka stopped approaching him and put on a vibrant smile as she stepped aside, as if the cold question just now did not come from her.
"How should I put it... the inexplicable hostility of a young girl in love shouldn't just be directed towards the same sex."
Facing the fickle Hayasaka, Hoshimi did not show any panic or embarrassment. Instead, she responded to her in a very natural manner as usual.
“…Alas, Miss Kaguya is really…”
Hearing this, Hayasaka's playful smile faded slightly, and she sighed as she remembered the difficult young lady.
After the two walked out of the school side by side, Hayasaka no longer jumped around like a lively little girl, but gradually became quieter, unknowingly switching to the role of a "gentle and considerate big sister".
"Well, Xiaoqing. Today, let's take the train together to meet Mom and Uncle like last time, right?"
Her gentle and pleasant smile was as non-aggressive as that of a sister next door, and she had none of the lively feeling of the little gangster just now.
“………I’m telling you, Hayasaka-san.”
Hoshimi glanced at the smile Hayasaka gave her and felt a little uncomfortable.
It was clearly a very cute and approachable smile, but it was so perfect that it didn't feel real at all.
"What do you think of me?"
——Or in other words, how do you view the two families that are about to merge into one.
When he stopped and turned around, he looked directly at Hayasaka and asked this question.
"Ah—Xiao Ai discovered!"
At the other end of the street, a high school girl dressed like a gangster who had just walked out of a dessert shop pointed at them and yelled.
To be more precise, he pointed at Hayasaka Ai and shouted.
"Ai-Airi-chan?"
Hayasaka was rarely a little flustered, but immediately switched to hot girl mode, smiling broadly and waving at her.
"Aho--Airi-chan~! I didn't expect to see you after school!"
The girl dressed like a sexy girl is Hayasaka's classmate at school who has a good relationship with her.
Hoshimi recognized her immediately. This was the girl who said goodbye to Hayasaka when she went to pick her up last time.
This is not good.
In hot girl mode, Hayasaka's relationship with her classmates is just a disguised harmony. Most people don't know her true identity - let alone the fact that she has a younger brother.
Every time Xingjian went to meet her, he would wait until she said goodbye to her classmates before meeting her.
"Xiao Ai... who is this guy to you?"
Although Hoshimi pretended not to know them and turned her head away to reduce her presence, she was still noticed by Airi who was licking her ice cream cone.
Hayasaka Ai's hot girl mask is starting to break.
"Ah! Could it be a boy—"
"No, no, it's just the child of an uncle my mother knows."
Hayasaka interrupted Airi's guess in time, smiled carelessly, and patted the confused Hoshimi's shoulder.
"This guy and I are friends. We've made plans to go to the social gathering together and act as each other's wingmen next time~!"
Hayasaka ignored Hoshimi's helpless look of "as long as you're happy" and continued explaining to herself.
"What? I see... Oh, this is so boring. I was hoping we'd get some real gossip..."
Airi, who had come here excitedly for the romance gossip, suddenly lost her expression and waved at Hayasaka and Hoshimi in disappointment.
"Goodbye then, Xiao Ai. It doesn't matter if you don't have a boyfriend. Next time, let's go to the social gathering together to find a rich guy!"
Hey, high school girls these days are so aggressive. Why isn't anyone trying to hook me up? (crossed out)
"Yeah, alright~ Bye, Airi-chan!"
After the girl named Airi gradually disappeared from sight, the upward curve on Hayasaka's lips slowly faded away.
Then, she regained her cold expression and turned her head to look at Xingjian silently.
"I think it would be easier to just pretend to be your boyfriend at a time like this. Besides, I won't expose you."
Hoshimi ignored Hayasaka's cold gaze and stated the fact "shamelessly".
Well, after all, he didn't suffer any loss.
“…This is my answer to the question you just asked.”
Hayasaka was silent for a moment. She neither pretended to be a "gentle older sister" nor put on a cold and emotionless expression.
"You are just something between family and an unimportant stranger to me."
She calmly let go of Xingjian's elbow and walked forward with steady steps.
"You don't really think that after their parents remarry, the children they have together can really become brothers and sisters, do you?"
When Hayasaka turned her head to look at herself, she narrowed her eyes slightly, and her carefully groomed eyelashes curved into a somewhat dangerous arc.
"You and I have never had any connection before, and we haven't witnessed each other's growth. We are siblings in name only. My concern for you is only out of consideration for the relationship between our parents, so I'll leave it at that. To be more blunt, while I will treat you politely, I have no interest in your past, present, or future. I wonder if this harsh but sincere response satisfies you."
After saying this, she turned her back to Xingjian and walked towards the tram stop calmly.
Hayasaka knew it well, and she deliberately said these words with too harsh a tone.
Although she did think so, she could have softened it into more tactful and implicit words and then expressed it.
But since Xingjian asked so seriously, she answered sincerely without considering whether this would embarrass Xingjian.
After all, he is not that important to me.
An ordinary burden brought by an ordinary stepfather, with ordinary looks and ordinary personality - in short, an ordinary boy.
That's it.
"Oh my...that sounds really hurtful."
Having said that, there was no sign of hurt on Hoshimi's face as she smiled.
"Are you so worried that Aunt Hayasaka will be snatched away after we become a family?"
——It was not until he said this that Hayasaka's steps suddenly stopped.
However, unexpectedly, Hayasaka looked a little strange when she turned around.
The expression that appeared on the girl's face was one he had never seen before.
Her cheeks seemed to swell slightly, her beautiful eyebrows were lightly wrinkled, and her clear blue eyes, staring at him, were flickering with rare turbulent emotions.
That should be some kind of "hostility".
"...Your mother has been taken away by your father, so I don't care if you get involved or not."
"—"
Hoshimi was stunned and stopped where she was, intending to follow Hayasaka.
It was the first time he heard Hayasaka say such childish words.
"...What? Mother control?"
"Ah, that's it. Why, is there anything bothering you?"
——I understand.
I probably understand where Hayasaka's indifferent and cautious attitude towards me comes from.
It’s just like the first child in most families will worry about the love of their parents after their younger siblings are born. However, what they worry about is not “Do mom and dad not love me anymore?”, but “I am not the one mom and dad love the most anymore.”
