Daily life in Zongman

"Okay, sorry."

"Forgive you."

"Kato is so easy to talk to. Can I stare at you for a while longer?"

"No."

"I mainly want to confirm whether Kato's hair has really grown long."

“It’s gotten longer.”

"Kato is so sure."

"Hair is something that grows longer every day. It would be abnormal if it didn't grow."

"Didn't I talk to Kato before about going to a shrine and making a wish to make my hair grow longer quickly? I want to see if it works. If not, we can try another shrine dedicated to a different god."

"Fujiwara-kun, who clearly believes in the existence of gods, is pragmatic in his approach to them."

"Just as there are respectable gods, there are also naturally bad gods, right? Here's how I think about it: good gods should naturally be respected, but those gods who take offerings but do nothing should be severely punished."

"Hey, that's quite disrespectful to the gods."

"I think it's normal."

"If the priests in the shrine hear you, you will be kicked out. It's better for Fujiwara-kun not to say such things near the shrine."

"It feels like it's always easy to get off topic when chatting with Kato. Let's get back to the topic, Kato, I noticed that your hair has indeed grown a little longer."

"Really."

"Really, the length of the bob is probably from the middle of the neck to a little below."

"It's probably because I recently tied it into a ponytail, so it naturally grew out. I changed my hairstyle, so it feels like it's suddenly longer."

"I don't think it's an illusion. It seems that the deity at the shrine Kato went to is working hard."

The woman at the back table picked up a strand of hair and held it in front of her eyes, observing: "I've been noticed by Fujiwara-kun for a long time, which is a bit subtle."

The bell rang and the chit-chat ended.

——July classmate chats about daily life⑩——

A new day, in the classroom, during break.

"Stare~"

"It's a common scene in anime, being stared at."

"I've confirmed that Kato's hair is indeed growing longer rapidly and has now reached his shoulders."

"Indeed, it's probably because I've been eating foods that accelerate hair growth lately."

"You must believe in the gods. Remember to thank the gods soon and bring some delicious food as an offering."

"As long as it works, Fujiwara-kun is very pious to the gods."

"Speaking of which, Kato's hair is so long, why not try a twintail hairstyle?"

"Changing the subject?"

"Changing the subject."

"Let me think about my answer... Twin tails wouldn't be very suitable for me."

"You can try it. Anyway, Kato, you won't be noticed, right? You can definitely try twintails."

"Eh...it wouldn't be appropriate..."

The next day, the girl with twin ponytails sat at the table behind me.

"Kato, that's great! How about trying pigtails tomorrow?"

"Eh...it wouldn't be appropriate..."

On the third day, at the table behind the pigtailed girl.

"Oh, this one won't work. Kato's hair isn't that long yet, and short braids won't look good on him."

“It’s still a bit annoying to be told something is not nice.”

As she spoke, the person at the back table untied her pigtails and returned to her bob hairstyle.

"It's much better looking, the bob haircut Kato Saigao!"

"So, there's absolutely no need to change your hairstyle."

"How about Kato try a meatball hairstyle tomorrow?"

"Eh...will it be suitable..."

On the fourth day, at the table behind the bun-head.

"That was great. Kato was awesome today."

"A ball head does look better."

"Yeah, just like you said, you really have to try more to know."

"It's strange to be taught by someone using your own words."

"Small problem, small problem~ How about Kato try a low ponytail tomorrow? Not the high ponytail like before, but a low ponytail."

"Hmm...it should be suitable..."

Day 5, low ponytail at the back table.

"Wow, it's so refreshing, there's a quiet and gentle feeling. Kato is amazing today."

"Thank you."

"Hey, I didn't complain today. That's weird."

"There's no need to complain about being praised."

"Well, that's right."

After thinking for a moment, he suggested: "Kato, try a side ponytail next week. I feel that Kato's hair is about the right length for a side ponytail."

"A request to change your hairstyle is no longer an inquiry."

"Because Kato is so easy to talk to, he'll agree to anything you ask for. If this continues, people will only go too far, like me."

"Are you warning me not to be so casual?"

"The word 'casual' is a bit derogatory. I think 'easy to talk to' is more appropriate."

"Fujiwara-kun."

The man at the back table stroked his chest and took a deep breath.

Fujiwara Haru waited for a while, and when he found that she didn't speak, he was a little confused: "Huh? What's wrong?"

The corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Look forward to next Monday."

"Ohhh~ I'm looking forward to it!"

——July classmate's daily chat (11)——

A new week, the beginning of summer vacation, in the classroom.

"Perfect side ponytail, Kato is as cute as ever today."

"Thank you."

"I have an exam in two days, and summer vacation is just a few days away. I can finally relax for a while~"

"Fujiwara-kun is such a good student and so smart, could he also get annoyed by studying?"

"Yes, after all, studying and thinking are very tiring. If possible, I really hope that Futaba can help me during the exam."

"Is that the one who always topped the first grade, Futaba Rio?"

"Yeah, it's her. My best friend, super smart. Usually when I have a problem I just stop thinking and go straight to her."

"Fujiwara-kun is surrounded by all sorts of beautiful girls, just like an anime protagonist."

"Thinking about it, it's true. There's a childhood sweetheart and a girl who dropped from the sky, a senior and a cosplayer. And a pretty girl who seems to have no presence and only I can notice. Now, the only vacant spot is the junior."

"Wow, he's the scumbag protagonist of a harem manga."

"I'm the male protagonist of a harem manga, but I'm not a scumbag. I just want to live happily with the person I love. This relationship will only be achieved if both parties are willing."

"Um……"

"Is there any problem?"

"Ahaha~ Kato doesn't know~"

"It's a good trick."

"Because I don't know what to say, I can only reply with a universal response."

"Speaking of which, what is Kato planning to do during summer vacation?"

"Changing the subject~ Let me think... We're planning a family trip to the beach. We have this plan."

"Ah, playing at the beach, it feels good."

"Fujiwara-kun, what are your plans for summer vacation?"

"I plan to play games at home, and when I get tired I'll go out for a walk. Then I'll wait for the fireworks display in early August and invite the people I like to watch the fireworks."

"A fireworks display..."

"Speaking of summer, this festival is unavoidable. Spending it with the one you love makes me happy just thinking about it."

"Yes……"

"By the way, Kato, let's try a high ponytail tomorrow."

"Changing the subject again?"

"Because the class bell hasn't rung yet, and I'm free anyway, I'll just pull you aside to chat for a while. It's like when you're daydreaming while playing a game and just keep clicking dialogues with the NPCs."

"I'm not a chat NPC. This kind of statement is really annoying."

"sorry."

"..."

The person at the back table sighed softly: "I forgive you."

"So, Kato, try a high ponytail tomorrow."

"can."

"Kato is so easy to talk to."

The person at the back table did not respond to this statement.

The bell rang and the break was over.

Chapter 172 Fireworks Display (Part )

"Glass, you need to be more confident. Try starting by saying no."

"What do you mean it's hard to refuse? Glass needs to be more patient and not care too much about what others think. When you want to refuse, just refuse boldly."

"You're saying you'll work hard again. Just rejecting what I just said is already an effort on your part. Oh~ If you keep going like this, I'll bully you even more. Glass, you need to be more confident and brave."

Hearing this, Naoko raised her head slightly and said, "It's okay, Haru-kun."

Straighten her hair, hold it in your hand, and then straighten her head back. Don't move when you tie her hair, stupid Glass.

Today, the two of them made an appointment to watch the fireworks display together. Fujiwara Haru was trying to tie Nozomi's hair. She had discovered at the back table before that long hair looks good in different hairstyles.

At that time, I wanted to pull her hair and play with it, but this behavior was a bit intimate and I couldn't touch others casually, so I played with my girlfriend Glass, who didn't resist.

By the way, I encouraged the overly docile Glass as usual, trying to make her bolder and not so self-deprecating.

I spent more than ten minutes thinking about how to braid two thin strands of hair at the back of my head. I tried several times but failed each time. Glass's hair became a mess.

After using a comb to straighten it out again, he gave up and sat aside to watch.

Glass quietly began to tie her hair without any complaints or worries, with a slight joy on her face.
