"Senior... stop arguing..." Seeing that the two sides were about to quarrel, Izumo Asana, who had been silent all this time, finally couldn't hold it in any longer. She gently pulled the corner of Umemiya's clothes and said, "We are all going to go shopping together happily, why are we quarreling?"

"Don't you understand the situation?" Mei Gong Xia Fei replied in a low voice, "Why do you think we are quarreling? It's because of you... She just came to make trouble for you. Why should we treat such a malicious person with courtesy?"

"Eh? Is it targeting me?" Asana opened her eyes wide in surprise. "I feel fine. She's very cute..."

"Don't you have a brain?... You don't even understand something that's obvious at first glance?" Umemiya Natsuki looked at Asana in surprise, as if she didn't quite understand her way of thinking.

"I don't quite understand..." Asana shook her head slightly, still looking a little confused. "Anyway, senior, you can't be so rude to others. Isn't this against the school motto?"

"..." Mei Gong Xia Fei wanted to say something, but in the end she could only sigh, "Forget it, since you said so, what else can I say."

"Okay, senior, it's okay. It's just a small accident. Let's not upset the mood." Asana smiled at the senior, then walked to the side of Mogami Jun, "Jun, the senior is very proud, let me apologize for her..."

Before waiting for Jun Mogami's consent, she walked in front of Mayu Takasaki.

Then she bowed to Takasaki Mayu with complete politeness.

"Ms. Takasaki, we are really sorry. We were indeed rude to you just now. Please forgive the two seniors for what they said just now. They just lost the game and were in a bad mood... Actually, they didn't mean much harm."

Looking at the other party's sincere eyes, Takasaki Mayu's original anger dissipated unknowingly.

Besides, now that the other party has apologized, I can’t continue to be unreasonable.

Then, she also showed that bright smile and bowed to Chaona.

"Well, it's nothing. I can understand everyone's feelings. Maybe my sudden appearance has caused some unhappiness to everyone."

"No, no, Takasaki-san is so cute, who would be unhappy!" Asana smiled and shook her head, "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Izumo Asana. Please take care of me. It's our first meeting."

186, Shame and Pride

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Izumo Asana. Please take care of me, it's our first meeting!"

After seeing Asana's sincere apology, Takasaki Mayu, who was originally angry and aggrieved, suddenly felt much better.

Then, she felt somewhat uneasy.

Although Meigong Xia Fei treated her harshly, she was not afraid to retort. After all, there was nothing to be afraid of if they had a real fight. However, after being treated so gently, she was a little confused.

She could feel that the other party was apologizing to her sincerely and there was no sarcasm in his words. However, it was precisely because of this that she didn't know how to respond. She couldn't repay kindness with enmity and mock the other party as well.

"It's okay. It's my fault for disturbing you all so suddenly. I'm sorry for making your senior sister Umemiya unhappy." After a moment, Mayu finally took a step back. "Izumo-san, please take care of me since it's our first meeting!"

"Takasaki-san is so adorable, I almost froze just now! No wonder she's become such a popular idol..." Asana raised her head and looked at Mayu with a big smile on her face, her eyes full of admiration and respect. "I can't even imagine how nervous and scared I would be standing in front of hundreds or thousands of people, but Takasaki-san was able to perform calmly on the stage and inspire everyone with her singing. She's incredible!"

Being praised like this, even the usually arrogant Zhenyou was a little confused for a moment, and could only smile awkwardly and answer, "It's not that great... You really flatter me... There are unknown idols like me everywhere, what's so special about it."

"Don't be too modest, Jun is a very picky person. You must be very powerful to be valued by Jun!" Asana tilted her head, indicating that she didn't quite believe in Manyou's modesty. "Since he dared to recommend you so strongly in front of Umemiya-senpai this time, he must be very confident in you... And don't get angry because of what she said just now. In fact, Umemiya-senpai has always been so picky and rarely compliments people. If she can praise you for being beautiful and cute, it means that you are really extraordinarily cute, so please have confidence in yourself! Since Jun supports you so much, we will also do everything we can to support you!"

Asana talked so much, with a lot of praise and encouragement, but Mayu basically didn't listen. Instead, she was stuck on another issue.

"Huh? Jun?" Mayu opened her eyes wide and looked at Asana in disbelief, "You...are you guys so familiar with each other?"

"Ah! Sorry! I just said it casually!" Asana realized something was wrong all of a sudden, and an embarrassed blush appeared on her face. She apologized to Mayu repeatedly, "At first... when we first met, I called you Moijiden, but he found it too formal, so he asked me to call you by your name, so I just called you that casually. I hope you don't mind..."

Is this guy saying this on purpose to piss me off or to demonstrate? Zhenyou couldn't help but have a thought.

But looking at the other person's face, Zhenyou found it hard to believe that the other person would have such intentions.

Is it really too natural? She couldn't help but wonder.

Forget it, whether it was intentional or really unintentional, she did reveal a very serious fact: she and Jun Mogami must be very familiar with each other, and the two of them have a close relationship and call each other by their names.

What's even more terrifying is that it was Jun Mogami himself who asked for it.

She knew Mogami Jun. Normally, he was arrogant and had a high opinion of himself. He would not interact with others easily. He took the initiative to ask the two of them to get closer to each other, which showed that he valued Miss Izumo very much in his heart.

Her gaze subconsciously shifted to Mogami Jun who was not far away. However, the other person was looking up at the white clouds in the sky at this moment. He did not have the aggressive attitude he had just when he came out to uphold justice for himself and force Umemiya Natsuhi to apologize.

She looked at the boys next to Jun Mogami again, but these boys seemed to have agreed on it beforehand and looked away at the same time in tacit understanding. No one even looked at her.

It seems that they knew it a long time ago.

Haha, no one has ever told me this.

In an instant, Zhenyou's heart was filled with inexplicable anger.

Although she knew that it was Jun Mogami's freedom to associate with anyone and he had the right to keep everything secret from her, she was still a little angry.

Obviously... obviously he was acting like he couldn't live without me before, but it turns out he was just lying to me...!

Her gaze shifted to Jun Mogami again, but he was looking up at the sky, so she could only glare at him hatefully, and finally looked back at Asana.

Asana didn't seem to understand Mayu's series of expressions and actions, so she just stood quietly by and watched her.

The smile on Asana's face and the confused yet worried look in her eyes made Mayu sigh secretly again.

I really can't be angry with her...after all, it's other people's freedom.

Although I don't know who this Miss Izumo is or what her abilities are, judging from her temperament and behavior, she really is like a young lady.

Even if Mogami Jun is dating her, there's nothing strange about it. It's better to say that they are a good match... Ugh! Ugh! They are not a good match at all!

"So you two have known each other for a long time. I thought you just met because of the competition recently!" Zhenyou forced a fake smile on her face, "I'm really sorry for disturbing you just now-"

"It's okay. What's so strange about greeting each other between friends? You're also happy because he won the game..." Asana shook her head, indicating that she didn't mind Mayu's arrival at all. "By the way, do you have anything else to say to Jun? I'm really sorry to keep taking up your time..."

Although the other party was so polite, Zhenyou was still a little unhappy. "Well, I'm sorry, I have a few words to ask him, I won't disturb you."

“It’s okay, just chat, we and the seniors will make way…” Asana nodded with a smile, then looked at Mogami Jun, “Jun! You guys come and chat, we’ll be waiting for you!”

After saying that, she walked back to Senior Umemiya and pulled her aside.

The storm that had broken out suddenly quickly disappeared after Asana's mediation. Everyone's face was taken care of and no one was attacked anymore.

But at this moment, Zhenyou's mood did not improve at all.

Woo...it hurts.

Although Asana was so easy to talk to, Mayu felt as if there was a stone blocking her heart, although she didn't know why she was so unhappy.

After a moment she understood.

It seemed that without realizing it, Izumo Asana seemed to be treating her as another person.

Although she was very polite and humble and treated me well, I seemed to have unconsciously accepted that she could make a decision on my request, as if I was being shown mercy.

Maybe this is just Mayu's own illusion, maybe Izumo Asana herself is not aware of it, but she is very unhappy now.

What do you mean? Do I need your approval before I can talk to him?

And they called each other so intimately, does this sound like something a young lady would say?

"How dare a mere street-singer talk so much... Do you really think you can be compared with us?"

She remembered what a girl had said when she was mocking her just now.

Wu Lingyi bullies leeks

Maybe this is what these young ladies think in their hearts, and even Izumo Asana is no exception.

Humph, who still looks down on whom these days? Only an isolated girls' school can produce such a bunch of stubborn little people who lived hundreds of years ago...

She complained in her heart, suppressed her anger, and walked to Jun Mogami's side.

"Jun-chan~ Can I take up a moment of your time?" She deliberately called out to Jun Mogami loudly, then smiled but looked at him with murderous intent.

Her eyes seemed to be saying, "Don't think you can fool me just by pretending you can't see me now."

This look was so stern that Mogami Jun could only sigh secretly and then look at the other person with a friendly face. "Is there anything wrong, Yuzu-chan?"

"Thank you so much for helping me out just now..." Mayu still looked at Mogami Jun with a smile, "But it seems like you are very familiar with them, so they are giving you face!"

"Well, we can be said to have known each other through fighting." Mogami Jun nodded, then replied with a smile, "After two games, our two teams can be said to have a mutual respect for each other, so everyone has become friends..."

"I'm afraid some of you were already friends before..." Mayu said in a tone that was obviously a little sour, "For example, Izumo-san, didn't you call each other by name? Or was it you who specifically requested it?"

You probably won't believe it if I tell you this, but she was almost my fiancée. What's the big deal about just calling her a name? Of course, Jun Mogami would not be stupid enough to say this.

Although there was no basis for it, he instinctively felt that if he said it, Zhenyou might collapse on the spot and do something unpredictable.

So for now, we can just pretend that nothing happened.

"Well, we can be considered friends." Mogami Jun replied vaguely, "Our family has some relationship with their elders, so we knew each other before."

"So that's how it is... childhood sweethearts?" Mayu still looked at Mogami Jun, not giving up at all, "Then I don't think I've heard you mention it before?"

"There's no need for me to introduce someone to you just because I know her, right?" Mogami Jun asked back, "Besides, we're in different schools, and it's not easy for us to get a chance to meet each other, so it's only natural for us to catch up with each other, right? To be honest, I took her on a tour of our school yesterday, and she had a lot of fun."

Mogami Jun's words were still vague, but his nonchalant tone made Mayu feel a little relieved.

If you are friends who have known each other for a long time, it is normal for you to have a better relationship with them...right?

But even so, she was still a little nervous.

It can even be said that it is quite uneasy.

She has always been proud of her appearance, but after meeting Izumo Asana, who is no less beautiful than herself, she suddenly lost her confidence.

Moreover, the other party's temperament and upbringing also made Zhenyou feel a little inferior.

When she met such an outstanding person, her confidence was somewhat shaken. She was naturally nervous and uneasy due to the fear of losing him.

But the more uneasy she felt, the less she wanted to show it.

After all, she is a proud person at heart, and she absolutely does not want to show her fear of being suppressed by others.

"Thank you for asking them for help for me..." After a moment of silence, Zhenyou whispered, "It must have been hard for you to help me so seriously."

"It's not hard at all. I did it on my own accord. You don't have to keep thanking me." Mogami Jun replied, "Don't worry, I will help you all the way, Yuzu-chan."

After hearing Jun Mogami's promise, Mayu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although this commitment does not seem to be about any particular aspect, she is willing to understand it in that direction.

People always firmly believe in what they want to believe.

"What were you discussing just now?" she asked again.

"We are planning to go around and have some fun, to relax them." Mogami Jun answered honestly, "After all, they have been in a relatively closed place, so it's normal for them to want to look around and get some fresh air when they have the chance. I guess that's human nature—"

"Then can Yuzu-chan come along?" Zhen Yu suddenly suggested, "Yuzu-chan can be their guide! Yuzu-chan is much more familiar with this place than you guys!"

"Uh..." Jun Mogami was a little embarrassed.

It is obvious that if Zhenyou really participates, it will be difficult for everyone to be happy.

I should think of a less hurtful reason to reject her...

Just as Mogami Jun was about to speak, Izumo Asana suddenly came over, nodded respectfully to the two of them, and then said, "Jun! How about asking Takaki-san to go out with us? She's a girl, she must be very familiar with this place, and she has the same interests as us - but I wonder if Takaki-san is willing?"

"That's great. I'd love to! Just consider it my apology for disturbing you all." Zhenyou immediately seized this unexpected opportunity and agreed directly.

"Ah?" Mogami Jun was a little confused by Asana's sudden request.

He didn't quite understand why such a request was suddenly made.

But since both of them said so, he didn't know how to refuse. Under the expectant gazes of the two people, he went to ask Matsushima Shota and Okabe Kaoru.

Although Shota Matsushima was a little unhappy about his plans being disrupted, he didn't know how to refuse under the current circumstances, so he had to agree.

In this way, a new branch of the original plan emerged, and Takasaki Mayu and her friend Fujiyoshi Ayami joined this temporary team as new members.

187, each with their own thoughts

Thanks to Asana's efforts in mediation, the short disturbance caused by Mayu was finally over, and the group walked out of the school again. This time, there were two unexpected members among them - Mayu and Fujiyoshi Ayami.

Although the storm had subsided, the atmosphere in the crowd had inevitably changed. Although they were chatting with each other about this and that, everyone's expressions were a little strange, as if they didn't know how to face the current situation.

In comparison, Izumo Asana and Takasaki Mayu, the parties involved, seemed to behave more normally. The two of them walked at the front of the team, talking and laughing with each other. Mayu acted as a guide, pointing out various places and introducing them to Asana from time to time, while Asana listened attentively and asked various questions from time to time.

If someone who didn't know the situation saw it, it would be hard to believe that it was the first time they met.

But even though the two of them acted so friendly, no one else joined in their conversation, as if there was an invisible wall separating everyone from each other.

Jun Mogami knew that he was the source of this turmoil, so this time he could only follow his teammates obediently, for fear of causing any more trouble.

After walking for a while, the strange silence among the boys was finally broken by Hirofumi Hanyu who couldn't help but speak.

"Mogami, I've always told you that this would be risky." Hanyu Hirofumi looked at him with a sad face, and then muttered softly, "But I didn't expect it to happen so soon..."

"I didn't expect that!" Mogami Jun answered with a headache, "Who would have thought that Zhenyou would be in such a good mood today and come over to watch my game?!"
