At this moment, he suddenly heard a greeting from behind.

He turned around and found a girl in school uniform following him.

"Takasaki-san?" He immediately saw the other person clearly.

However, today's Takasaki Mayu was very different from usual. Her usual smile was no longer visible on her face. She looked serious to the point of being sinister, and her eyes were quite sharp.

"Where is Jun-chan? Why didn't he leave with you?" She asked directly without any politeness. "Is he still at Hyoudou Takako's place?"

Hanyu Hirofumi was a little surprised.

"I asked the teacher for this." Takasaki Mayu explained impatiently, "Answer me!"

So you have been waiting here all this time...Hanyu Hirofumi suddenly realized.

She must be very worried, that's why she behaved like this.

Then, he looked at Takasaki Mayu with a complicated gaze, seeming a little hesitant.

"He...he's still with Hyoudou-senpai."

"Is Hyodou Takako still unwilling to let him go? Does she already know something?" Mayu immediately became worried.

"It must be something else, otherwise I wouldn't have been let off so easily." Hanyu Hirofumi comforted her.

"Even so, it's still worrying... They already have a feud, and this time it's definitely not going to be good." Zhenyou became more and more anxious the more he thought about it, and finally made up his mind, "Forget it, I'll go over and take a look. Even if I can't help, at least I can ease the situation..."

Then, she left Hanyu Hirofumi behind and tried to walk over there.

Hanyu Hirofumi hesitated again.

Finally, he decided to tell the truth.

"Also, Izumo-san is there too. Um... that Izumo-san."

Maybe it was his illusion, but he clearly felt that Takasaki Mayu's expression became even uglier in an instant.

"Why is she there too?" Zhenyou lowered his voice and asked in a low voice.

"I think she was tricked by Hyoudou-senpai." Hanyu Hirofumi replied with a wry smile, "Anyway, I don't know why she played such a bad joke..."

Takasaki Mayu frowned, thought for a moment, then left him and walked towards the place he had just left.

"Hey!" Hanyu Hirofumi shouted, "Takasaki, what are you doing?"

Zhenyou turned her head slightly and then showed her usual sweet smile.

"Yuzu-chan...I'm going to go keep Jun-chan company."

"But..." Hanyu Hirofumi stretched out his hand to stop him, but suddenly he didn't know what to say, so he could only stand there and watch Zhenyou leave.

================================================== ========

"What the hell are you doing?" Mogami Jun asked Hyoudou Takako, "You've done so much, and you're still talking about cooperation? Are you kidding me?"

"I'm not kidding—" Hyoudou Takako shook his head, "I want to find someone who is the most trustworthy and can help you the most... I guess this person must be one of these two people, right?"

"What do you mean?" Mogami Jun was even more hesitant.

Hyoudou Takako no longer kept the secret.

"I got another invitation to Grandpa's game, which means that the two of them can go - the cruise ship is a dangerous place, and we have to win, so if you have an extra helper in secret, it will be good for both you and me, right?"

Then, she looked at the two girls opposite with a smile, "Don't you want to lend a helping hand to Chun when he gets into trouble?"

"Huh?" Sagihara Shion and Izumo Asana shouted in surprise at the same time.

The two of them looked at each other.

No one expected that Hyoudou Takako would play such a vile trick for this purpose.

Of course they are very, very willing to do so, but... it seems that only one can go.

Who is going?

Of course it’s me! Both of them thought so.

Before they could reply, a figure appeared not far away, running towards them quickly.

"Jun-chan!"

I'm addicted to Genshin Impact recently~

347, Dispute

"Jun-chan!"

The shouts from afar instantly attracted everyone's attention.

As their eyes met, a girl in school uniform was running towards them quickly.

Just by hearing this voice, Jun Mogami knew who she was, and then his mood inevitably became more uneasy.

There are only two people here, and the situation is already so tricky. Now Zhenyou gets involved, how will it end?

However, the situation did not change according to his will. Under their gaze, Mayu ran in front of Mogami Jun.

In an instant, everyone's eyes were on her, and Mayu took a few breaths to recover, then raised her head and looked at Mogami Jun worriedly.

"Jun-chan, are you okay?"

"I'm fine..." Jun Mogami replied reluctantly.

"Are you really okay?" Shinyu seemed a little unconvinced, and turned her head to look at Hyoudou Takako, "Hyoudou-senpai didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

Hyoudou Takako had been staring at Takasaki Mayu since she ran over. After seeing her face clearly, her expression changed from surprise and astonishment at the beginning to slight understanding, and then she curled her lips in sarcasm.

The expressions of Sagihara Shion and Izumo Asana also changed from surprise to strangeness.

So, because of these two unexpected events, Hyoudou Takako's change of tone and Mayu's sudden appearance, the atmosphere here suddenly changed from the previous tit-for-tat to a little strange and awkward.

"Hey..." Hyoudou Takako spoke first. She looked at Takasaki Mayu with a smile, "Since you know I'm your senior, you can't not say hello - who are you?"

Zhenyou shrank his neck, then looked at the notorious senior with a little fear.

"Hello, senior. I'm Jun-chan's classmate. My name is Takasaki Mayu. I came to see you because I was worried about Jun-chan..."

"Why are you worried about him?" Hyoudou Takako asked back with a smile, "Do you think he will be in danger in front of me? Or in other words, what reason do you have to worry about him so much?"

It seemed that Takasaki Mayu was overwhelmed by Takako Hyodo's continuous questioning. She stood timidly in front of Takako Hyodo, like an elementary school student being scolded by her teacher.

"Jun-chan...Jun-chan is Yu-chan's good friend...that's why I'm worried..." She answered in a low voice, and it was obvious that she was not confident enough.

"Wow... good friends?" Hyoudou Takako smiled even more brightly.

Then she looked at Mogami Jun again, "I didn't expect you to be so capable—"

Mogami Jun didn't bother to pay attention to her and just made a gesture to Mayu, indicating that he was not in any danger at all.

"Yuzu-chan, I'm fine, don't worry about me, you can go back first."

However, Mayu had no intention of leaving and continued to look at Mogami Jun with a worried look on her face.

"But...but...Yuzu-chan is worried about you. If you're really okay, why don't we go together?"

As she spoke, she took a few steps forward and reached out to hold Mogami Jun's hand.

Hey, don't overdo it!

Instead of obeying her, Jun Mogami frowned and warned her with his eyes.

Although her academic performance is not very good, Zhenyou's ability to read people's expressions is beyond her peers, and the same is true for her acting skills.

There was nothing wrong with pretending to be weak and innocent in front of Hyodou Takako, but doing so now would only put him in an even more embarrassing situation. If he was taken away like this, how would he explain to the senior and Asana next?

She must have done it on purpose.

"Jun-chan... let's go..." Mayu seemed not to notice his expression and continued to insist.

"Wait a minute! Don't leave yet." Just as they were competing secretly, Hyoudou Takako suddenly spoke.

She looked at Zhenyou again, as if she was estimating something. "One more person is beyond our plan, but it's just right, as it gives us one more choice. Although your performance is not promising, there may be some surprises..."

"Senior, what do you mean?" Zhenyou sounded a little confused.

"Then I'll explain it to you again." Hyoudou Takako nodded, then waved and pointed at the two people next to him. "My grandfather is going to hold a special event, and Mogami will also participate. I really hope that he can win. In order to achieve this goal, we are now in a cooperative state.

In addition, I also found an opportunity to send another person as a guest to help him win. In order to choose that person, I specially summoned the two of them... I originally planned to choose the most suitable candidate from the two of them. Since you are here, are you interested in giving it a try? "

Shinyu listened quietly to all of Hyodou Takako's words, but her expression still looked a little confused.

"Whether Jun-chan wins or not... is it important?" She suddenly asked after a moment's silence.

"Of course it's important, both to me and him." Hyoudou Takako nodded directly, "I don't need to tell you about this, but if he wins, I can give him a bonus of 300 million. How about that, am I generous enough?"

"Three...three hundred million?!" Zhenyou opened his eyes wide.

Although she has seen the world, for a girl of her age, the number 300 million still seems like a dream, or even a joke.

But she knew the identity of Hyoudou Takako, so she immediately believed that this was not a joke.

It's not just about money. Winning or not is uncertain, but if I accompany Chun-chan to participate in such an event held by a wealthy man, I will definitely be very happy. Even if I lose, it will be an unforgettable experience.

"How is it? Are you interested?" Hyoudou Takako asked, "If you are not interested, you can leave first--"

"No, Yuzu-chan is very interested." Zhenyu suddenly raised her head and answered loudly, "Yuzu-chan wants to help Chun-chan win together!"

"Okay, very spirited!"

Seeing Mayu's full of fighting spirit, Hyodou Takako couldn't help but applaud, "Now I admire you! To do big things, you have to make decisions on the spot. What's the point of dithering?"

Seeing such a big progress suddenly, Takako Hyoudou suddenly became excited. She turned her head and looked at Sagihara Shion with a smile.

"So what do you think, Sagihara Shion? If you don't like it, just give up. I think it would be nice for Takasaki to go with Jun. They're a good match..."

Although she knew that Hyoudou Takako was deliberately provoking and mocking her maliciously, Sagihara Shion still couldn't help but clench her fists.

She could not endure such humiliation.

So, even though she knew what kind of show Hyoudou Takako wanted to see, she still had to act according to the script.

Because, the person who should help, take care of and accompany Chunjun should be her.

She opened her mouth slightly.

"I want to go! Let me go!" Before she could say anything, Asana's voice suddenly came from the side.

Sagihara Shion just opened her mouth, then turned her head slightly and her eyes fell on Asana, and the others did the same.

Asana's face tensed up, looking unhappy, and then she walked to the side of Mogami Jun.

"Ms. Hyoudou, I'll go with Jun. I've thought about it carefully and I think I'm the most suitable person. Although I'm not as smart as Jun, I can still help..."

As Asana said it first, Sagihara Shion felt annoyed and couldn't say the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

"Oh, good, another one has signed up. I'm relieved." Hyoudou Takako smiled again, and then looked at Sagihara Shion mockingly, "Sagihara, I didn't expect you to be the least enthusiastic one. Your hatred for me actually exceeds your attachment to Mogami...Ah, Mogami is so pitiful. Well, it doesn't matter if you don't go. Who doesn't like to protect themselves? I can just choose one between the two of them. There is nothing for you to do here. You can go back first--"

"Even if you don't go, you can still silently bless me and Jun-chan in school. Your intention will definitely be more sincere than anyone else's." Before Sagihara Shion could reply, Mayu immediately added, "Don't worry, senior, we will do our best to return victoriously..."

Seeing that she was about to be confirmed to be backing down at the last minute, Sagihara Shion was so anxious that she was about to cry. She glared at Mayu fiercely.

"Takasaki-san, why did you so naturally agree that you should go? I should be the one going. Although it may be a bit rude to say this, didn't you lose to me before? I am obviously more suitable." Asana interrupted Mayu abruptly. "Since we are going to compete with others, shouldn't it be natural to send our best candidate?"

Asana's tone was very calm, with a hint of reserve even when she was arguing, but her words easily and simply angered Mayu.

Although she appears gentle and amiable on the surface, Mayu is actually quite arrogant in her heart. Every time she recalls the disastrous defeat in the tennis match with Asana, she finds it unbearable. This time when it was mentioned to her in person, she became even more furious.

"Humph, it's just that I won over Yuzu-chan in tennis. Is that the same as a competition like this? It's not like Chun-chan is going to play tennis." She couldn't help but immediately retort, "Anyway, I should be the one going. After all, Chun-chan and I have been together the longest, and we have the best tacit understanding with each other!"

"Whether one's feelings are connected is not determined by the time spent together!" Asana immediately retorted, "Jun and I hit it off right away, and we were almost defenseless against each other. Doesn't this prove the bond between us?"

"You're too confident to say we're bound after only meeting a few times." Zhenyou didn't back down. "How can a young lady like you who doesn't know the ways of the world and the wickedness of human nature help us? I think you should go back to your Eden-like school and pray for us. If we win, you can also take some of the credit, how about that...?"

"No matter how ignorant I am of worldly affairs, I am better than those people who have been singing and selling songs since childhood, right?" Asana was also angry, so she retorted. "Who knows what you are planning to do to get close to Jun..."

After she said this, she immediately felt something was wrong and stopped.

"I'm sorry... I went too far, but my opinion will never change."

"Both of you... stop right there."

Sagihara Shion finally spoke.

She walked between the two people who were already arguing, blocking their gazes at each other, "From the beginning you seemed to ignore my existence... This won't do. I have decided that I should help Chunjun. The reason is simple, I am the one who can help the most, this is purely objective consideration. I don't want to fight with you, and I don't want to make you sad, but... I am the one who will help him wholeheartedly, even if it costs anything. I don't believe you will have my awareness, so I can't give in this time, I'm sorry..."

Sagihara Shion's tone was very sincere, but it failed to convince the two people opposite.
