The strongest high school student in Japan

Logically speaking, since he had already accepted the ticket, Fujiyoshi Ayami seemed to have nothing to worry about. However, to his surprise, Fujiyoshi Ayami had no intention of leaving immediately. Instead, she stood there, looking at Mogami Jun.

Seeing her hesitate to speak, Mogami Jun was a little confused, "Excuse me, is there anything else?"

"Well... there is something personal to ask." Fujiyoshi Ayami nodded, then glanced at Hanyu Hirofumi beside her.

"Ah, you guys chat first, I'll go out for a walk." Hanyu Hirofumi also reacted immediately and immediately asked to leave temporarily.

After saying that, he walked out directly and closed the door.

"Fujiyoshi, what is it that you need to talk about one-on-one?" After he left, Mogami Jun asked him again, "Please go ahead."

"Okay, Mogami-san... Please allow me to be a little rude to you and ask you a question that is a bit embarrassing..." Fujiyoshi Ayami suddenly bowed to Mogami Jun and asked in a low voice, "Excuse me, what kind of feelings do you have for Yuzu-chan?"

"..." The sudden question made Jun Mogami fall into silence.

Although he could choose not to answer, when he saw Fujiyoshi Ayami's momentum, he found that he could not avoid answering at all.

"A very good friend." In the end, he could only say what was in his heart.

He wasn't lying, that's exactly what he thought.

"Excuse me, this is an ambiguous answer—" Fujiyoshi Ayami raised her head and looked at Mogami Jun, "Excuse me, how good of a friend are you?"

"This question really stumps me." Mogami Jun smiled bitterly, "If you really want me to describe it, it's hard for me to do so. Anyway, I feel very comfortable when I'm with her, and I want to help her when she's in trouble. It's that simple—"

"In other words, you haven't considered her as irreplaceable yet, right?" Fujiyoshi Ayami seemed to have grasped the point and continued to ask, "You still only consider Yuzu-chan as a friend."

"If you insist, then it's true." Mogami Jun could only nod, "But is this question important? At least I'm doing my best to help her now, isn't that enough?"

"I'm afraid that's not enough in my opinion..." Fujiyoshi Ayami shook her head, "You probably can't deny that Yuzu-chan likes you very much, that kind of like."

There was really no way that Jun Mogami could deny this.

If he could have used various excuses to deny it before, then the fact that Zhenyou kissed him in the room that day had clearly revealed her feelings.

In order to maintain her idol aura, Zhenyou usually appears to be very kind and cheerful to every classmate, but she has never done anything like this before. So there was naturally only one reason why she did this that day.

“I feel very honored.”

"You're just very honored... You don't plan to say anything in response?" Fujiyoshi Ayami couldn't help but smile bitterly, "If Yuzu-chan heard you say that, she would definitely be very unhappy... But don't worry, I won't gossip about you behind your back. I will keep everything you said to me today a secret to Yuzu-chan."

"So what exactly is your intention?" Mogami Jun couldn't help but ask.

"I just want to know what Yuzu-chan can get by mustering up so much courage..." Fujiyoshi Ayami smiled bitterly, "Please don't misunderstand Yuzu-chan's behavior that day and her usual interactions with classmates and think she is frivolous. In fact, she made a great determination to do that. Although she didn't say it explicitly, I can see it."

"You're overthinking this. I've never thought she was frivolous." Mogami Jun replied, "We've known each other for so long, I can probably tell who Shinyu is."

"At least you have good eyesight, but no matter what, you won't know her as well as I do. We have been classmates and friends for many years—" Fujiyoshi Ayami looked at Mogami Jun with a little pride, "You can say that I watched her grow up."

"You talk as if you're older than her, when you're just the same age..." Mogami Jun couldn't help laughing.

Then, he changed the subject and said, "By the way, now that everyone has come to this point, can you answer a question for me? I have always been a little confused—"

"Please ask." Fujiyoshi Ayami nodded.

"Since you've been with Mayu for so long and know her true self so well, why are you still so loyal to her?" Mogami Jun asked immediately, "Logically speaking, she shouldn't have any idol halo in front of you, right..."

"Isn't the answer obvious? What I like about Yuzu-chan is her true appearance." Without any hesitation, Fujiyoshi Ayami answered.

"Huh...?" Mogami Jun was very surprised.

"What I like is not the cute idol who is fictional on the surface, but the real Yuzu who is afraid of loneliness, endures pain and anger, works hard for her dreams, moves forward cautiously, and is a little arrogant and vain. This kind of Yuzu-chan is so real that people can't help but want to accompany her..." Fujiyoshi Ayami replied with a wry smile, "Do you know why Yuzu-chan treats others with that face?"

"Isn't it just to be an idol?" Mogami Jun asked back. "Idols are supposed to please others, right?"

"You got it exactly the opposite..." Fujiyoshi Ayami smiled bitterly and shook her head, "She got used to pleasing others first, and then pursued becoming an idol. This is a reflection of her self-worth."

"Ah?" Mogami Jun was surprised again. "What do you mean?"

"You may not believe this, but when we first became classmates, Yuzu-chan was not very popular and was very introverted." Fujiyoshi Ayami sighed, "She was too pretty and couldn't talk, so many people envied her. Although she wasn't isolated, she didn't have many friends overall. If it were an ordinary person, it wouldn't matter. Many people have gone through this, but she wasn't willing to give up. She wanted to become a popular focus and be noticed by others. There was nothing wrong with that, but in the end she chose to please others... She tried desperately to prove that she was the type that others liked, even if it meant changing herself for the sake of it."

"The price is too high." Mogami Jun shrugged.

"Yes, the price was too high..." Fujiyoshi Ayami still smiled bitterly, "From that time on, her evaluation of her own value has been distorted. In her eyes, the greatest manifestation of her own value is to be recognized by everyone. If she is not admired and envious by others, she will be at a loss. She is afraid of being abandoned, and she wants to be noticed by everyone, so she is willing to act like someone that everyone likes, and then become an idol for this purpose. This is the correct order."

Jun Mogami recalled that he had once asked Mayu if she was tired from doing this. What was Mayu's answer?

This is what she wants.

So Zhenyou must be having a hard time right now.

But no matter how hard it is, that is the path she has chosen for herself, and there is nothing wrong with her bearing the consequences herself.

"Speaking of me, I have actually been witnessing the path that Yuzu-chan has taken. I prefer imperfect crafts to perfect works of art. I know her desires, her pain, and the efforts she has made to get all of this, so I hope that her dream can come true..." Fujiyoshi Ayami bit her lip, "Even if this dream actually has no meaning at all, I still think so."

"You... think it's meaningless?" Mogami Jun was a little surprised again, "Haven't you been supporting her seriously all along?"

"Cheering is one thing, but what I think in my heart is another." Fujiyoshi Ayami shook her head, "Yuzu-chan is talented. Even if she doesn't act like a cute idol, she is more than enough to surpass many people. Anyone with eyes can see it, right? So there is no need for her to put her self-worth on pleasing others."

Although Fujiyoshi Ayami's words inevitably carry a "fan filter" and glorify Mayu, Mogami Jun agrees with her words to some extent.

Needless to say, Zhenyou's appearance is amazing. Even her vocal level is much better than the average idol. Even the picky Umemiya Natsuki admits it. Moreover, she is not bad at studying in school. It is natural for her to be better than most girls of the same age.

So, from this point of view, Zhenyou really doesn't need to base his self-worth on the recognition of others.

"But she insisted on doing this, and there's nothing others can do..." In the end, that's all Mogami Jun could say.

"Yes, even though it's meaningless, since she insists, I will support her. This is the embodiment of my friendship—" Fujiyoshi Ayami nodded, "After all, who in the world is without flaws? Regardless of whether there are flaws or not, a work of art is still a work of art, and it is much better than an ordinary social part like me. I am willing to follow her."

Mogami Jun smacked his lips slightly.

Generally speaking, people who admire others are blind, but Fujiyoshi Ayami seems to be a sober admirer.

He didn't quite understand why this happened, but since this was Fujiyoshi Ayami's choice, let her be. She had her freedom.

But there is one thing, Jun Mogami also has his own freedom, and he has no obligation to be the same as Fujiyoshi Ayami.

"Then what do you want me to do? Become the same person as you?" Mogami Jun asked again.

"I haven't thought about it that way." Fujiyoshi Ayami immediately shook her head. "I just think that since Yuzu-chan has expressed her feelings so clearly, she should get an answer. Whether it's okay or not, having an answer is better than being worried. And you, after that day, acted as if nothing happened and never responded... Honestly, I don't agree with that at all!"

After she finished speaking, she bowed to Mogami Jun again, "Although it may be a bit rude to say this, I hope you can give Yuzu-chan an answer as soon as possible. You know how dangerous this kind of thing is for an idol. If she took such a big risk and ended up with nothing, wouldn't that be too pitiful?"

Mogami Jun frowned slightly.

Although Fujiyoshi Ayami's attitude was unexpectedly polite, he understood that he was being blackmailed.

In other words, being forced to reveal one's true feelings.

"In your eyes, is it that being able to win her favor is an honor I've had for several lifetimes? I should be overjoyed and immediately hold her hand for fear that she'll run away?" Mogami Jun couldn't help but raise his voice a little, "Sorry, I can't do that."

"I..." Fujiyoshi Ayami quickly raised her head and wanted to explain.

Jun Mogami simply raised his hand to stop her explanation, and then continued.

"First of all, I must make it clear that I don't owe her anything, and I have no obligation to respond to anyone's feelings. I don't feel guilty about her, and I don't adore her like you do, and I won't indulge her just because I feel sorry for her. Whether she likes me or not is her own business, and it doesn't mean I have to do anything - Takasaki Mayu doesn't have any privileges that require me to act according to her wishes."

Such ruthless words made Fujiyoshi Ayami's face change instantly.

"Of course, don't get me wrong. I don't mean to be so cruel. I just mean that if Mayu likes me, I have no obligation to like her. I think you should agree with this, right?" Mogami Jun slowed down his tone a little. "After confirming this premise, let me tell you my opinion - I don't hate Mayu, otherwise I wouldn't help her so wholeheartedly. But when it comes to love... at least not now. In fact, I don't even know what it feels like to be in love."

"..." Fujiyoshi Ayami was a little surprised at first, but soon nodded sadly, "Judging from your usual performance, I'm afraid it's true."

"So if you ask me to respond now, I don't know how to respond at all. All I can do is try to help her according to my current feelings. Whether this is out of friendship or something else, I dare not say for sure."

"Maybe you have your reasons, but isn't it cruel to let Yuzu-chan keep expressing herself unilaterally?" Fujiyoshi Ayami asked back, "How about we just make a promise?"

Who do you think you are? If you want me to make a promise, I have to make it? Mogami Jun thought.

But he still kept his patience and decided to figure it out first.

"What agreement?"

"If Yuzu-chan is no longer an idol and finds her true self one day, you still have to treat her as a true friend and help her through the difficulties, unless she changes her mind, okay? You should be able to do this with just a little bit of effort, right?!"

Fujiyoshi Ayami looked at Mogami Jun angrily, and it was obvious that this was her bottom line.

"I've said before that I'm not obliged to agree to any of your requests—" Mogami Jun couldn't help but smile slightly, "But I can promise you this clearly. I didn't approach her because she's an idol. I don't care whether she's an idol or not. I only care about the comfort I feel when I'm with her, that's all."

"At least you still have a little conscience..." Fujiyoshi Ayami finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her originally tense expression relaxed a little.

"So, if you really like her, do you dare to withstand the pressure and stick to your feelings?" she asked again.

"Of course." Mogami Jun nodded. "I never care what others say. But of course the premise is that I really like it."

"I'll remember what you said." Fujiyoshi Ayami also nodded, "However, I still hope that Yuzu-chan can wake up on her own and change her mind... It must be too hard to be with someone like you. It's really hard to impress you."

"I think so too..." Mogami Jun smiled bitterly, "I always find it difficult to feel other people's emotions."

"Goodbye, you who are too self-pleasing." Fujiyoshi Ayami said nothing more and turned away.

I had so much fun during the National Day that I unknowingly slowed down my update speed...

But... I really want to have another National Day holiday!

Keep promoting the book and thank Duanmu as usual!

I recommend a novel about infinite harem, "I open an online loan business in Japan", which is non-toxic.

Currently writing the part about strength first, if you like the harem you can go and have a look!

214, Appointment

After getting the answer she didn't want, Fujiyoshi Ayami left the room in a state of confusion, worried about Mayu.

Jun Mogami watched the other person leave without saying anything else.

Although he acted as if he could do whatever he wanted in front of Fujiyoshi Ayami just now, he was actually not as free and easy as he seemed.

As a normal human being, he doesn't like to trample on others for fun, so he didn't think of deliberately making Mayu sad or actively hurting her.

Fujiyoshi Ayami's question really hit the nail on the head.

How should I respond to Zhenyou? Or, in other words, where should Zhenyou be in my heart?

He asked himself again, but still couldn't make a clear conclusion.

Having lived for such a long time but having very little experience of interacting with other people, he is good at answering questions, but he is not very good at dealing with such complex problems.

But there is one thing he knows clearly, that is, he is willing to help Zhenyou and likes to get along with Zhenyou.

Just as he said to Fujiyoshi Ayami, he had no obligation to take care of Mayu's thoughts, but - he wanted to do so on his own initiative. So, let's just continue like this.

I am such a weird and selfish person... Thinking of Fujiyoshi Ayami's last words, he couldn't help but laugh at himself.

The sound coming from the door interrupted his thoughts. This time, not only Hirofumi Hanyu came back, but also Shota Matsushima and Kaoru Okabe came in together.

"Mogami, have the tickets for Yuzu-chan been delivered?" Because he had just heard the news from Hanyu Hirofumi at the door, as soon as he came in, Matsushima Shota walked up to Mogami Jun and stretched out his hand with a smile, "Don't hide it just to monopolize the opportunity to be with Yuzu-chan, okay?!"

"You must be joking—" Mogami Jun glanced at him with disdain, then took out two tickets from his trouser pocket and handed them to Shota Matsushima, "I was just about to remind you guys, don't be absent when the time comes, and cheer for Yuzu-chan together."

"Of course, leave it to me!" Shota Matsushima received the ticket, then gave a thumbs up to Jun Mogami, "I am now a die-hard fan of Yuzu-chan. There are many of her songs in my IPOD. I don't want to be like some people who just talk about it..."

"Okay, let's stop here today. I have something else to do, so I'll go back first." Mogami Jun ignored the other party's secret teasing and ridicule, and walked out the door directly, "Goodbye everyone!"

"Eh? What's wrong with him? What happened just now?" Matsushima Shouta looked at Hanyu Hirofumi with some confusion, "Did Fujiyoshi quarrel with him?"

"I'm not sure about that... I don't think so..." Hanyu Hirofumi gave a wry smile and answered vaguely. "Well, since Mogami left first, shall we continue practicing?"

All he was thinking about now was Hyoudou Takako.

He knew in his heart that what Mogami Jun had just explained to him were matters of great importance and it was not appropriate to reveal the secret in front of these people - although they were also friends, it was still not possible after all.

It is easy to say that it is easy to fight against Hyoudou Takako, but it is certainly not easy to do. He can only act carefully according to Mogami Jun's advice.

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

After returning to his apartment, Mogami Jun directly picked up his cell phone and dialed the number of Senior Sagihara.

"Jun-kun, good evening." The call was quickly connected, and then Senior Sister Luyuan's voice came from the phone, "What's going on?"

Her voice was cool yet passionate, like a clear spring, seeping into Moegami Jun's heart, causing the tension that had accumulated in his heart to suddenly disappear without a trace.

"Ah... Senior sister, it's so comfortable to hear your voice..." He couldn't help but sigh. "Can I listen to it more?"

"..."

There was a moment of silence on the phone. Perhaps Sagihara Shion had not yet gotten used to such perverted remarks.

"If you want to hear it, I don't mind..." After a moment of silence, Sagihara Shion spoke again, "But from what I understand, Jun-kun shouldn't be the kind of person who would make harassing phone calls at night, right?"

"Senior is right—" Mogami Jun couldn't help laughing, "Well, actually I just have a small matter to ask for your opinion—"

"What's the matter?" asked Sagihara Shion.
