Eriri Sawamura lowered her head quietly and whispered, "I wasn't making a fuss..."

Yukino Yukinoshita looked over there, her eyes filled with a hint of helplessness.

Kato Megumi merely narrowed her eyes slightly.

Mai Sakurajima doesn't have many ideas; she just thinks...

The way the junior was petting him... it looked like he was petting a dog...

......

Nomiyama reached out and handed out candy to them, then suddenly asked a question: "Do you think you can see it?"

After a moment of silence, Yukino Yukinoshita narrowed her eyes and asked, "What? Now that things are coming to this, Nomiyama-kun has other ideas?"

"Can't I just suddenly want to ask you guys?" Nomiyama said, unwrapping the candy, somewhat annoyed by her overreaction.

"No, Kazehaya wouldn't say such pointless things at this crucial moment. He must have something in mind." Kato Megumi carefully put away the torn candy wrapper, adding the finishing touch with a calm expression.

Nomiyama, with a candy in his mouth, glanced at his two girlfriends, then at Eriri, who was peeling a candy wrapper with a serious expression, and finally exchanged a glance with the quiet Mai-senpai, without any further beating around the bush.

"I'm thinking about whether I should take a gamble, whether I'll see it or not."

"Hmm, very good. So what kind of bet does Nomiyama-kun want?" Yukino Yukinoshita went straight to the most crucial question.

Nomiyama licked his lips: "I was just thinking of betting on a requirement that is within our respective capabilities."

Kato Megumi watched his subconscious action, lowered her eyes and took a step back: "Kazehaya, I should have told you a long time ago that when you want to eat, you subconsciously lick your lips. Your bet seems to be quite excessive."

Nomiyama was stunned.

Yukino Yukinoshita grabbed Eriri, who had just put her mouth on a candy, and took a step back: "Nomiyama-kun, if possible, I hope your thoughts aren't so dirty."

ha?

Mai Sakurajima also took a step back to show her refusal to bet, shaking her head: "How pathetic."

No, what does "how pitiful" mean?

Nomiyama felt his dignity had been insulted. He first looked at Megumi, who had spoken up, and raised his voice: "I just want to know what kind of gifts Megumi's family likes. What's wrong with that?"

Kato Megumi blinked, tilted her head, looked at the camphor tree not far away, and silently took a step forward.

What kind of gift would Kato's family like? Yukino Yukinoshita just frowned.

Nomiyama shifted her gaze to Yukino: "I just want to know when you'll be free next time. Every weekend you tell me you have to study. I'm your boyfriend, what's wrong with wanting to go on a date?"

Yukino Yukinoshita choked for a moment, mainly because her older sister had been coming to see her every weekend lately, making it impossible for them to find time to be alone together.

She reached out and ruffled Eriri's hair, then, as usual, pulled Eriri back to where she was.

Nomiyama breathed a sigh of relief. Good, he got away with it. Next time, he'll definitely find a situation that the two of them won't notice. How outrageous! They won't even let him kiss lately. Where is his dignity as a boyfriend?

After thinking it over, he glanced at the remaining two people and decided to walk around them.

Eriri Sawamura took a big bite of the candy, glared at him, and demanded an explanation. Why is there no explanation for me?

Mai Sakurajima sighed, "Junior, you really are a jerk."

Nomiyama looked at her with displeasure: "What are you saying, senpai? I just have a heart that's broken into many pieces, and I've fallen in love with quite a few people."

Two gusts of wind sounded.

Nomiyama raised his hands and caught the two hidden weapons that were thrown at him.

A girl's school handbag.

......

Next, the group went to the convenience store on campus with Mai Sakurajima, and watched her quietly pick up a piece of bread, walk to the cashier, and quietly place the money on the table.

Nomiyama was quiet because he had anticipated this situation, while the other three were quiet because they saw that his expression did not change and followed his reaction.

When Mai-senpai handed him the bread, Nomiyama took it with a regretful look, took a bite, and mumbled, "What a pity, you guys didn't bet with me."

"Heh." Opening her mouth to sneer, this was Yukino Yukinoshita.

“Kazehaya, h.” Calm and composed, that was Kato Megumi.

Without saying a word, she kicks without hesitation—that's Eriri Sawamura.

"Sigh, what a scumbag junior." Shaking her head with a sigh, this was Mai Sakurajima.

Nomiyama chewed on his bread, unconcerned, and instead asked other questions: "What kind of candy did you eat?"

“Bitter melon…” Eriri Sawamura lowered her eyes.

“Chocolate,” Yukino Yukinoshita replied casually.

"Chocolate," Kato Megumi said calmly.

"Chocolate," Mai Sakurajima answered truthfully after a moment's hesitation.

Nomiyama raised an eyebrow, because he had also eaten chocolate today.

There was a moment of silence, then everyone turned their gaze to the only unusual golden-haired little man.

"Why are you all looking at me like that?!"

......

Mai Sakurajima knows that junior, but since they haven't had much contact, she can't say she understands him very well.

All I can understand is that he's had numerous girlfriends, and he likes to disregard established social rules, such as defying the group or trying to take on a large group by himself, which then isolates him from the crowd.

But the junior seemed to have always been lucky. He had someone by his side in elementary school, and he still had someone by his side in junior high school. By the time he was in high school, he had even more people by his side.

He never seems to lack company.

So he's a scumbag.

Thinking this, Mai Sakurajima sensed the pulling force in her hand, raised her hand, and prepared to pull up. Then, everyone in her peripheral vision also made a move.

Puzzled, she looked at the people next to her. Yukinoshita and Kato seemed to be reeling in their fishing rods at the same time, while the junior was watching expectantly.

Her gaze shifted again, and she looked at Sawamura, her junior.

Huh, the Air Force?

Chapter 204 Mai and Yukino's Night Talk

Mai Sakurajima is very good at getting to know others in short-term interactions, thanks to her work experience and the need to do so.

The ability to quickly recognize and judge others, and to accurately express oneself and summarize a matter, were probably essential skills for celebrities in the past.

So, after spending a short time with the Service Club, Mai Sakurajima made a few simple discoveries.

First of all, the junior student was really audacious and shameless to date two girlfriends at the same time.

Secondly, Sawamura also likes the junior, but the other two juniors always inadvertently interrupt her actions.

In the end, the junior student deserved to get fish poisoning.

"Yukinoshita, I'm your boyfriend. We've known each other since we were eight years old."

Nomiyama lay on his back, his gaze fixed on the aloof girl who kept throwing Palukas at his head.

Yukino glanced at the ball, which was still unable to break through the defense and was bounced back as usual, ignored his words, and silently took out a 0.0000005% Palu Ball and threw it.

Nomiyama, certain that this person had hardened their heart and refused to give him medicine, shifted his gaze to the other person squatting beside him, playing with their hair: "Megumi, no one at the hospital peels fruit for me."

Kato Megumi gently ruffled his hair, her voice soft: "Doesn't Kazehaya know a lot of nurses? They'll help you."

"Aren't you afraid I'll be taken advantage of?" Nomiyama whispered.

“They wouldn’t dare,” Yukino Yukinoshita said casually, then threw a ball at his forehead.

Nomiyama could only look to his last hope, Eriri.

A moment later, he closed his eyes.

Eriri Sawamura was furious and rushed towards him, but was quickly pulled back by Yukino Yukinoshita.

Even so, she still thrashed about, shouting, "Nomiyama Kazehaya! What do you mean?!"

Hearing the approaching ambulance siren, Nomiyama opened his eyes, ignoring Eriri's shouts, and looked at Yukino: "I'll leave things here to you, Senpai. I have some clothes at home that I'm going to give you. I bought them when I went to order candy this weekend."

Yukino Yukinoshita looked at him, put away the ball, and quieted down.

"Don't give me the medicine. I'm going to the hospital. I haven't had hospital food in a long time, and I miss it." Nomiyama saw what she was thinking. "Besides, the ambulance has already come. We can't let them leave empty-handed."

"Kazehaya, make sure you eat well later." Kato Megumi loosened his hair, her tone gentle.

"Heh." Yukino Yukinoshita put the medicine bottle away again.

Mai Sakurajima stood quietly on the outside, watching, her expression changing slightly.

The junior deliberately ate that rainbow pufferfish to paralyze himself, just to vent his anger on behalf of the two junior girls. His subsequent words were also mostly intentional, deliberately trying to soften Yukino's heart so that he could then casually refuse her.

Most importantly, both female students knew he did it on purpose, and he knew they knew too.

Mai Sakurajima's eyes twitched slightly as she looked at the three people.

Why are these people so scheming when they're trying to find a romantic partner?

Mai Sakurajima shifted her gaze to the blonde, twin-tailed junior who was standing next to the lying junior, carefully bracing her foot against his thigh.

Perhaps because they felt that using too much force would hurt the other person, they now use a gentle, caressing motion.

Sakurajima Mai looked at her, a hint of sadness inevitably showing in her eyes.

How could he possibly outmaneuver the three of them?

......

Mai Sakurajima frowned as she followed her junior into the apartment.

Perhaps it's an occupational hazard from being an entertainer for many years, but she still felt like she had been spied on just now.

Taking a deep breath, Mai Sakurajima shook off the unease. In the current situation, apart from her juniors, most people couldn't even remember who she was, let alone observe her.

"Please have a seat, senior. I'll go prepare dinner," Yukino Yukinoshita said politely, putting down her shoulder bag.

Sakurajima Mai looked at her junior, thought for a moment, and then smiled: "Let's cook together. Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm actually quite good at cooking."

Yukino Yukinoshita didn't think much of it and simply nodded: "Okay."

So Mai Sakurajima followed her into the kitchen.

Yukino Yukinoshita took off her apron and quietly put it on.

Letting the senior move in was almost a last resort. To learn more about her situation, we need to spend more time with her. And the most crucial point is that the senior seems to be in a situation that no one can understand or see, and living alone would be very troublesome.

Nomiyama-kun is a boy, so it's not easy for him to live with her. Kato-kun might forget about his senior again at some point, and the same goes for Eriri. So this matter has to be left to them.

Mai Sakurajima walked into the kitchen, watched her junior's actions, and subconsciously looked towards the wall.

There was one black apron left.

Is it from a junior student?

"Senior, you can use that apron for now," Yukino Yukinoshita said matter-of-factly.

"Okay." Mai Sakurajima took off her apron and put it on.

Huh? The junior just casually put on the junior's apron?

......

After eating and drinking their fill, and tidying up the dining table and kitchen, the two girls took showers, changed into their pajamas, and sat on either side of the sofa.

Mai Sakurajima glanced at her pajamas, frowned, and felt that they were a bit tight in the front. She should have bought a new pair of pajamas at the store earlier.

She pulled her feet back, slumped onto the sofa, leaned against the corner, and looked at the junior student who was sitting upright, staring intently at the cat videos with a serious expression.

A flicker of interest crossed her eyes, and she asked, "Yukino-senpai, may I call you Yukino?"

Ok?

Yukino Yukinoshita turned her head to look at the seemingly lazy but habitually huddled up to protect herself, and nodded: "Okay, senpai."

Sakurajima Mai's mind stirred slightly: "How about you call me Mai? After all, we're not that different from other people our age."
