If I don't capture the girl, I will die

It's so unlucky. What should I do?

Nishikino Maki's sudden loss of her dream naturally attracted the attention of the two men.

Looking out the window...

Not far away, an orange-haired girl was waving at them vigorously, but the other two girls did not do such a thing in public.

It turned out to be them.

Ji Qi's face also looked a little strange. This was too much of a coincidence. Did they make an appointment?

The next second, he rejected this possibility.

It's simply impossible.

While the three of them were thinking different things, Honoka Takasaka in Ji Qi's eyes took the hands of the other two girls and walked straight towards the store. Minami Kotori and Sonoda Umi seemed to be very hesitant...

Seeing this, Nishikino Maki buried her little head even deeper.

The tiny ears are dyed pink.

Yukinoshita Haruno still had that smile on her face, "Maki-chan, your friend?"

After a moment's hesitation, Maki nodded.

"Your friend is looking for you, right? It seems we don't have enough room here~" After saying this in distress, Yukinoshita Haruno explained the situation to the waiter with a smile on her face and asked for a bigger seat.

There just happened to be a standard six-person seat vacant.

They shifted a bit.

Then, the door of the store was opened, attracting the attention of the guests.

A group of young people had looks of surprise in their eyes.

These are three girls whose dress and looks make one feel like they are students.

The waiter who had been waiting at the door immediately bent over to greet them. The orange-haired woman standing in the middle looked around, said something to the waiter, and walked to their table on her white legs.

This was probably the first time they had such close contact.

Glancing at Minami Kotonori who looked helpless at Kousaka Honoka's pulling her over, Ji Qi thought secretly.

"That's too much! Maki is so cunning! You were playing outside and yet you lied to me that you were playing the piano at home."

As soon as she sat down, Kousaka Honoka complained openly. But looking at her, she didn't seem angry at all.

The same goes for the other two girls.

Nishikino Maki was so shy that she almost buried her head under the table.

I really want to die...

This kind of public execution, is this some kind of punishment game in life...

"Wait, Honoka, there's someone else here." Sonoda Umi quietly pulled Honoka's skirt and reminded her in a low voice.

Honoka widened her eyes and asked in surprise: "Eh... who is this beautiful lady, Maki? Is she your sister?"

Hopeless.

There is no hope for this idiot.

Even in casual clothes, Umi Sonoda exudes a serious demeanor, and she has given up on treating her childhood friend.

"That's right. I can indeed be said to be Maki-chan's older sister." Yukinoshita Haruno said to Honoka with a smile, seemingly not minding her rude behavior at all.

Smells really good...

Being sandwiched between a group of girls, and no one noticed him, Ji Qi sniffed.

It’s not like no one noticed him.

At least Minami Kotori noticed.

One reason was that they were facing each other and very close to each other, and the other was that she saw him inadvertently, which gave Nan Qinli a sense of familiarity.

How did this familiar feeling come about?

Curiosity overwhelmed the shyness of sitting so close to a boy of the same age for the first time.

Since she went to an all-girls school and her friends were all girls, there were almost no boys who could give her this feeling of déjà vu. But she was sure that she didn't know this person.

It’s weird.

"Well, anyway, since you're Maki's friend, you're also our friend. My name is Kousaka Honoka, and I'm currently a second-year student at Otonoki. You can just call me Honoka. Thank you for your guidance!"

"What a good kid, please give me your guidance."

Feeling the infectious energy of Honoka, Yukinoshita Haruno kept a smile on her face from beginning to end.

While Nan Qinli was thinking, both parties had completed a simple self-introduction.

Umi Sonoda, who is always steady and polite, even apologized for their uninvited visit.

Ji Qi... Well, Ji Qi was ignored.

Nan Qinli wanted to ask, but it was difficult to open her mouth in this atmosphere.

"Then I'll take the liberty of calling you Honoka. Sister Honoka, what do you like to do besides studying?"

"School idol!"

"...Eh?"

The experienced Yukinoshita Haruno faced an impulsive and simple fool like Kousaka Honoka. She would help her count money even if she was deceived. Not to mention just a few simple words.

However, this answer not only stunned Yukinoshita Haruno, but also Sonoda Umi and the others.

It's really shameful!

Honoka, don't just answer whatever people ask you.

Their conversation attracted the attention of the men around them.

I feel like his role is just like his presence, dispensable...

Maybe Yukinoshita Haruno didn't expect this development.

So can he go home now?

Ji Qi muttered inwardly.

After calculating the time, it should be morning in the UK. This time is the most suitable.

Although the girls around him were all very pleasing to the eye, it was not good to stare at others all the time. In order to kill time, Ji Qi took out his cell phone and found the number that Iida Ayano had given him.

"Hello, is this Ms. Shiina Mashiro? I'm the manga artist introduced by Iida Ayano, my name is Hime Nana. If you have any questions about the manga, feel free to ask me. Thank you for your guidance (??????)??"

If I speak Japanese, the other party should be able to understand it, right? How about changing it to English and sending it again?

Thinking that there should be no problem, Ji Qi clicked the send button.

It's really troublesome to be separated by two countries...

After putting away the phone, Ji Qi looked up again.

Turns out the table was a bit quiet.

Several pairs of eyes were staring at him.

Hey, what happened just now? Did Maki and the others discover my hidden identity? Or did aliens take away a part of my memory without my knowledge?

"Introduce yourself, brother."

"Don't change other people's names casually!" You are not Shiyu... Ji Qi added in his heart. What the hell is a self-introduction? He thought he could get by like this until the disbandment.

"Who is Shiyu?" Yukinoshita Haruno, who was sitting next to Ji Qi, poked his face with her finger, her tone a little dangerous.

"My desk in front of me..."

"It's not okay to be unfaithful, you know? You already have Yukino-chan."

"We are not in that kind of relationship yet..."

Chapter 141 Coincidence?

Perhaps because all the attention was focused on Maki and Yukinoshita Haruno, Himeshichi, who was sandwiched between them, was ignored.

It was only after Yukinoshita Haruno mentioned it casually just now that Kousaka Honoka and the others discovered it!

How rude... Sonoda Umi sighed deeply.

Is this a good opportunity to break into their team? Ji Qi thought about it. In the past, no matter what he did, he had to take the initiative, which was too abrupt.

It's not bad considering the current coincidence.

But there is also a problem and risk.

One is whether to reveal his secret identity or not? The second is if they found out what he had done in the past, would they think too much?

After all, one coincidence is a coincidence, but a series of coincidences are obviously manipulated by humans.

Although some of them were done intentionally by him, some of them were also unintentional.

Such as now.

After all, I'd better not say anything.

After weighing the pros and cons, Ji Qi quickly made a choice.

Otherwise it's too hard to explain.

Ji Qi was just about to give a brief self-introduction when he unexpectedly heard Yukinoshita Haruno, who was sitting at the outermost seat, stand up.

There was an apologetic look on his face.

"Really - I'm very sorry~~Sister, I have something urgent to do, so I have to excuse myself first." Yukinoshita Haruno said sincerely to several people while holding the phone that had just been hung up.

"It's okay, it's okay...Don't worry about us."

Sonoda Umi also stood up and smiled politely.

Born into a traditional family, she may not be as good at treating people as Yukinoshita Haruno, but she basically makes no mistakes in terms of etiquette.

"It's a great help that you understand. Maki-chan, remember to say hello to your uncle and aunt for me when you get home. And Himechi-kun, this dress was originally intended to be a reward for you because you have made such rapid progress in your studies. I didn't expect you to be so heartless... Well, it doesn't matter. I'll pick a better gift next time."

Yukinoshita Haruno, whose smile never stopped, remained the same even when she was about to leave.

She said a lot in one breath, ignoring the looks from others. She picked up her small bag, went to the front desk of the coffee shop to settle the bill, and finally waved to a few people at the door of the store.

So this is ah?

Looking at Yukinoshita Haruno's disappearing back, Ji Qi touched his chin, thinking. There's no need to lie about this.

"Ms. Yang No is so amazing and gentle..." Kousaka Honoka couldn't help but say with admiration in her big blue eyes. For an ordinary high school girl like her, it is normal to envy others.

Sonoda Umi pursed her lips slightly and said, "Indeed."

"I never thought that Maki knew such a powerful person." Minami Kotonari also agreed. It seemed that the three of them had a high opinion of Yukinoshita Haruno.

After saying that, they aimed at Ji Qi and Zhen Ji.

The boy's self-introduction was interrupted.

To be honest, Kousaka Honoka and the others were still very curious, especially Minami Kotori.

That cold Maki actually has a male friend. Although they admit that Maki is a good girl, her temperament and personality are too dissuading! If it weren't for Honoka, they would have no chance to become friends with this girl and become a member of the group.

What is their relationship? Lovers?

When I thought of this possibility, my gossipy heart suddenly burned!

Seeing Yukinoshita Haruno leave, Maki breathed a sigh of relief that was barely noticeable.

She had the same feeling as Ji Qi. Being with the eldest daughter of the Yukinoshita family was too restrained.
