For people like Hanazono Tae and Toyama Kasumi, it is normal to go to Yotsuba, but for Yamabuki Saya, this place is a bit too low.

"Well, compared to Qingpeng, Siye's academic pressure will be less, so I should be able to spare some time to help out in the bakery."

"What about the others?"

"I haven't asked yet..."

"That's it."

Katsuto nodded, taking in the situation.

"If you're like Ms. Ichigaya, you can go to a very good university."

"Yeah, Arisaki has good grades and is helping out in the student council. It's not impossible for her to be admitted to SA."

The so-called SA refers to the world-class universities in the private classification, that is, the top universities in Japan, including the University of Tokyo, Hitotsubashi, Kyoto University, Keio University, Waseda University, etc.

"Hey, Katsuto, is your relationship with Arisaki still strained? You've been helping Arisaki at Hanasaki River."

Yamabuki Saya asked.

On one side is an important band partner, and on the other side is someone who is like a younger brother to her. Naturally, she doesn't want the two of them to continue to be at odds with each other.

In response to Yamabuki Saya's question, Katsuto scratched his chin.

“It should have gotten a little better.”

"is it?"

"Well... I don't want to make things awkward with Ms. Ichigaya. After all, I like her very much."

"Ala?"

"Of course I like Saaya-san too. I like everyone in Popipa~"

"Haha, that sounds very Kasumi-like."

Yamabuki Saya couldn't help but laugh.

"Speaking of college... I suddenly remembered that Sister Saaya ran away from home."

Katsuto brought up that incident.

And sure enough——

Yamabuki Saya, who was sitting opposite the door, blushed instantly and knocked on the door.

"Katsuto, let's not talk about this topic."

"It's so hard to check in! Because it's really hard to be nervous, and the thing about Sister Saaya turning into a bad girl..."

This is probably the case.

During the tripartite meeting between her sophomore and junior year of high school, Yamabuki Saya was hesitant about what to do: continue her studies or inherit her family's bakery.

As good partners with the same stance... Tsugumi Hanezawa decided to continue her studies, while Ikumi Kitazawa planned to return home and inherit the store after graduating from high school.

Yamabuki Saya loves her own bakery and wants to inherit it and make bread for everyone.

but……

Anyway, when Yamabuki Saya told Mr. Yamabuki about this, Mr. Yamabuki said.

"I don't plan on letting Saaya inherit this store."

Yamabuki Saya thought that Mr. Yamabuki had some opinion about her, so she ran away from home in anger and sadness...

As a result, he ran into Shengren head-on.

At that time, he was in the process of escaping from the Ushiromiya family. He instinctively returned to the shopping street and considered whether to escape to Sakuragaoka again.

Katsutomo took Yamabuki Saya to the chain hotel where he was staying to calm down for two days.

The quality is not high, but the room is generally clean.

Then he learned the reason why Yamabuki Saya ran away from home.

"Pfft hahahahahahaha!"

Laugh out loud.

"Sister Saaya, you're an idiot! You can't even understand such simple words!"

Of course, that was the conversation back then.

"Sister Sha Ling is always like this, always thinking about others."

Yamabuki Saya decided to give up further studies and inherit the bakery because her mother was in poor health and Sanan and Jun were still young.

At that time, Yamabuki Saya went to college with everyone in Popipa, and was looking forward to the brilliant college life she would spend with everyone.

But she still gave up this ideal for the sake of her family.

"I like this about Sister Saaya...but Sister Saaya could definitely think more about herself."

It’s not a good idea to have your mind full of yourself.

However, it is not good to have no self in your mind.

When Yamabuki Saya was about to say something.

"I don't think I can really stay in Yamabuki Bakery for the rest of my life."

Although Shengren said before that he was a baker in his life and the yeast in his death.

But, this is just a joke after all.

His name is Ushiromiya Katsuto.

Even if it's not Ushiromiya Katsuto, it's Hirasawa Ei.

The only option missing is Yamabuki Kuress.

After all, Katsutto and the Yamabuki family are just a foster family relationship.

Sooner or later he would leave the Yamabuki family and work for the Ushiromiya family's company.

Although this future is still far away.

"But don't worry, Sister Saaya. At least until you graduate from college and Sanan and Jun grow up a little more, I can still hold on."

"Sister Saaya, just enjoy your youth with everyone at Popipa—I'm leaving now."

Katsuto smiled softly and left Yamabuki Saya's room.

Yamabuki Saya was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly opened the door.

"Katsuto!"

Her reaction was already very quick.

But Shengren still took a step ahead.

"..."

Almost.

To be honest, Yamabuki Saya was almost about to confess her love.

Although she knew very well that Shengren would leave sooner or later, but...

Just a little bit.

But this little bit made Yamabuki Saya bury the emotions that had been hidden deep in her heart.

Then, reason took over the brain again.

"……What does it mean?"

What does Shengren mean by this?

Yamabuki Saya began to think about this problem.

Why did Yamabuki Saya keep that emotion deep in her heart?

Because the garden is so beneficial.

but……

"Is he provoking me?"

Brings back memories.

Advise her to think about herself.

Then he specifically mentioned that he might not be able to stay in the bakery forever.

All these factors combined...

Yamabuki Saya had reason to believe that Katsuto was trying to provoke her into confessing her love—

Then reject her.

Shengren probably already saw Hanazono Tae's emotions.

Reject her, and then reject Huayuan Duohui.

This way, everything can return to the way it was.

Or so he thought.

"..."

Even Yamabuki Saya felt a little dissatisfied.

She probably knew what Shengren was thinking.

After all, she was the first to come up with the theory of emptiness.

Having lived under the same roof for three years, apart from the girl named Hirasawa Yuu, there probably aren't many people who know Shengren better than her.

"What kind of words are these..."

If you don't like it, then forget it.

but.

"I can't guarantee that I won't change my mind in the future" and "I'm not a person suitable for love."

What does it mean to be rejected with such a reason?

Miss Yamabuki felt strongly dissatisfied.

Then, make up your mind.

Love is indeed a war.

And she.

We must win this war no matter what.

But, the next second.

"Da Hui..."

When she thought of Hua Yuan Duo Hui, she could no longer maintain her resolute expression.

This is what Yamabuki Saya thinks, so what does Katsuto think?

Wait.

Before turning the camera to Katsuto, look to the other side.

“…Arisaki, Eve, listen to what Ikumi said. A bear that big was defeated by Katsuto alone!”

At the end of school at Hanasakigawa, in the student council room, Kitazawa Ikumi was excitedly sharing what happened yesterday morning.

"what?"

Ichigaya Yusaki's eyes widened.

"You mean a bear? I remember you went to Hokkaido, right? So that means... a brown bear?"

Ichigaya-san couldn't help but look at Ozawa Misaki.

For a moment she couldn't even believe this was true, but -

"It's true. There are photos. Do you want to see them?"
