Real teaching, starting from scratch, knowing the plot, I just lay down!

There is no such thing as a surefire way to avoid hurting others. Sometimes it's better to cut the Gordian knot right from the start than to hesitate.

"Ichinose-san, who is he?"

And Shiranami Chihiro looked very surprised.

Even Nakano himself would be surprised. He was clearly in Ichinose's class when he was on the island, so how could he not remember him at all?

But this also shows that this Shiranami Chihiro is serious about Ichinose. In the eyes of a idiot in love, there is no one else except the one he likes.

He felt a stomachache when he thought about what would happen next.

"Sorry, Chihiro, but you should have seen him before. This is Nakano-kun from Class D. He was the one who sold us the information about our base back on the island. And um... actually, Nakano-kun is mine..."

Ichinose seemed hesitant, more like embarrassed, but it was obvious what she was about to say.

She probably wanted to introduce Nakano-san as her boyfriend.

And Shiranami Chihiro seemed to have understood. She had one hand on her chest and tears were already flowing.

"Could it be that he is your boyfriend..."

Even before a word was said, a girl was already crying.

Noticing his friend's expression, Ichinose lowered his head, "Nakano-kun, you're mine..."

Boyfriend.

"Just ordinary friends."

At this time, Nakano took the initiative to speak out, "Ichinose, it's not easy to muster up the courage to confess to the person you like. I feel depressed every day and try hard to say it, but the words that slip to the corner of my mouth just can't come out. And because we are of the same sex, the difficulty becomes doubly difficult. So, shouldn't you respond to her courage to confess to you at the risk of her life?"

"This one……"

This was probably the first time someone had told Ichinose this, so she didn't know how to handle it. Or maybe she hadn't expected Nakano Yuu to directly expose her pretend boyfriend.

"Anyway, tell her properly."

Nakano-san added, and then he left the stage first.

Because the results are out.

Ichinose has a negative attitude towards Chihiro Shiranami and it is impossible for him to develop any romantic relationship with her, otherwise he would not have come to the agreed place to reject her.

But this also indirectly shows that Ichinose Honami is really amazing.

Pretty.

good character.

High academic ability.

Still smart.

Indeed, not only men, but women can also easily fall in love with her.

The top beauty in the grade is really not fake.

And Ichinose may be hoping that Nakano Yuu will pretend to be her boyfriend to reject Shiranami-san. As a result, he should be able to be rejected, but this kind of fake boyfriend relationship is not what Nakano-san needs.

While his words just now seemed like an attempt to withdraw, they were actually meant to force Ichinose to make a decision. He couldn't hesitate any longer.

So sitting on the bench outside, Nakano just waited for a while, and then saw Chihiro Shiranami running away crying.

As expected, it was rejected.

"Nakano-kun..."

And Ichinose gradually walked out from the shadows, and found that Nakano was still sitting there.

"It seems you have made it clear."

Otherwise, Shiranami Chihiro wouldn't have run away crying.

"Well, I only thought about how to avoid hurting Chihiro and then escape. This idea is indeed wrong. I am also sorry for her love for me."

Ichinose intertwined her fingers, a sign of dejection. "I told her we can be friends tomorrow like before. But... I don't know if I can do that."

This is the case with some emotions. Once they are revealed, even some actions, you will look at them with a biased perspective.

For example, girls can hold hands, but what if they find out that the other girl likes them? Is this still a normal hand-holding?

It definitely won’t work.

"That depends on you. You have to adjust your mindset."

Nakano stood up from his chair. "If you're not confident, you can take a test."

"test?"

Ichinose raised her drooping face.

But Nakano-san immediately grasped her hand, as if he had been prepared for this.

Ichinose's palm is quite soft, completely different from when she held Kamuro-san's.

"Look, if you can feel calm when shaking hands with the opposite sex like this, then you and Shiranami-san will be able to regain your composure as well."

Nakano Yuu said seriously.

But Ichinose was quite shocked.

because.

Did you just hold her hand like that?

So can she feel peace in her heart?

No.

Ichinose felt his heartbeat only quicken.

because.

When a boy holds her hand, any girl's heart will beat faster, no matter whether she likes him or not.

"Nakano-kun is such a bad guy."

Ichinose waited ten seconds and then pulled his hand away.

"But you've calmed down a bit, haven't you?"

Nakano-san said.

Only then did Ichinose realize that it was just a joke.

She just gently raised her hand and looked at Nakano-san's calm profile. She still felt that her heartbeat had not returned to normal, and it always felt that it was not a joke.

"just……"

She quickly lowered her head again, "Why do you refuse to pretend to be my boyfriend?"

Oh.

This is what she was talking about. She met him, and then thought that Chihiro Shiraha would come over and confess her love to her, so she suggested that he pretend to be her boyfriend so that Shiraha would withdraw on her own.

but.

"Maybe they feel that the appearance of one lie requires another lie to make up for it."

Nakano Yuu said.

"I don't like trouble."

Although I said this, I actually felt that I might have guessed wrong.

He and Sakayanagi were in a relationship in the past, and he thought he and Ichinose were also in a formal relationship in the past, but now it seems... that's not the case.

He and Ichinose probably never officially dated.

That's why she is so upset about this matter.

So, what happened between him and Ichinose-san in the past year? And what is her relationship with him?

Not yet a lover, but full of friends? But I feel it can't be that simple.

Nakano Yuu was puzzled.

……

Despite this, Nakano Yu still let Ichinose go.

After all, they held hands, but touching thighs was still too difficult. Or perhaps the purpose was too clear.

However, Ichinose started moving from the experimental building and eventually arrived at the cafeteria.

"Sure enough, suddenly taking the initiative doesn't suit me."

Ichinose seemed to be mumbling something, and her tone was somewhat lost.

"Hey, Ichinose."

However, when Ichinose arrived at the door of the cafeteria, she found a boy with red hair parted in the middle standing there. When she looked at him, he immediately stood up.

It's Ryuen Sho, the monitor of Class C, Grade 1.

"Ryuen-san."

Ichinose looked at the other person with some caution.

"You're so wary."

Ryuen said.

"But don't worry, I'm not interested in women. Especially the type like you who just throw yourself at me. I like the unruly ones."

"..."

Ichinose.

I always feel that Ryuen-san is particularly sharp-tongued, and she's not the type who throws herself at someone easily.

It’s just that today I tried to throw money at him but the other party didn’t accept it.

There are some minor setbacks.

"You were actually meeting with Nakano Yuu just now, right?"

But Ryuuen immediately added.

Eh?

Only then did Ichinose show a surprised expression.

"Don't worry, I wasn't there. I was just searching for you and I also looked for Nakano Yuu's location. I found out you were in the same place, the laboratory building, right? Damn, this location is really unreliable."

Ryuen said.

Ryuen seemed to have a problem with this location because he thought of the incident when Sudo beat someone up and Nakano Yuu came forward to say he was a witness. Ryuen had thought it was disgusting that Nakano Yuu was staying in that location. Now it seems that these people will actually go to that place.

After all, there aren't that many places without cameras.

"So, Ryuuen-kun, what brings you here today?"

Ichinose then looked at Ryuen Sho with a serious expression.

"As fellow Red Team members, my meeting with Nakano-san isn't about anything that would violate the exam."

She didn't think Ryuuen was the type to be interested in anyone's love life.

In other words, Kanzaki, a classmate in the class, also analyzed Ryuen and thought that Ryuen was a very utilitarian person who wanted to climb up the social ladder.

Even though their class has now become Class A and they need to worry about Class B's counterattack, they also have to be wary of Class C's counterattack.

It can be said that the vice-class monitor, Kanzaki, gave Ryuen a very high evaluation.

"I don't care about that."

But Ryuuen said.

"Or it would be useless even if you looked for him."

"But you can prepare your class's entry form."

Ryuen said.

"why?"

Ichinose frowned slightly.
