Indeed, in many places, this person's reputation is far from bad.

Yawata Kairin pondered for a moment, then named a few people. These were all people she had formed bands with.

Although the band has disbanded, they no longer keep in touch.

But Hachiman Kairin still made sure to remember their names.

"By the way, what grade are they in?"

"...Third year, or almost graduating. What's wrong?"

Naruzawa Kaede asked, "Do you have a junior high school section?"

"..."

Hachiman Kairin stared blankly at Narusawa.

"...Are you still in junior high?"

"...by chance."

"You were with so many women in junior high—at least ten, right?"

"...In short, yes, it does exist."

After thinking for a moment, Hachiman Kairin sighed and said, "I'm the youngest one in this year's class to play this."

"I'm not really familiar with Shimokitazawa. If you really want to ask me, you might as well go to the school and hand out flyers."

Naruzawa Kaede and Yamada Ryo exchanged a glance and nodded.

This opportunity is passed.

......

The setting sun, like blood, illuminated the eastern sky.

The red sky was reflected in the glass of the building, making even the distant clouds seem to be on fire.

Walking hand in hand with Yamada Ryo.

After saying goodbye to Hachiman Kairin, something happened that might anger Yamada Ryo.

Naruzawa Kaede promised Iji Chihoka that she would go this week. However, considering Iji Chihoka's schedule, they could wait until the first half of the night to put Yamada Ryo to sleep before going to see the gentle starry sky.

Apart from that, it's almost impossible for Yamada Ryo to do anything to anger him.

Since that's the case, let's go shopping for now.

Leaving Yuzawa Cafe, you'll soon find yourself in a shopping street. It's not far from the Yamada residence, and you can also see shops like "Yamabuki's Bakery."

Naruzawa Kaede remembered that he and Yamada Ryo had bought bread there, and it was delicious.

As he passed the flower shop, Mingze Feng's gaze swept over the flowers, and he stopped in his tracks, then called out to the shop assistant.

Yamada Ryo also stopped beside her, watching Naruzawa Kaede walk into the flower shop. She just stood at the entrance of the flower shop, showing no intention of going in.

"Seriously... what's the point of sending me flowers?"

Yamada Ryo narrowed her eyes, gave a soft hum, but couldn't help smiling. Although sending flowers was pointless, Yamada Ryo was still happy that Narusawa Kaede had sent them.

Overjoyed, he stuffed a huge bouquet of roses into her arms.

Seeing Naruzawa Kaede chatting and laughing with the shop assistant, Yamada Ryo frowned, and a sudden warning flashed in his mind.

......

When you glance at a flower shop, you can easily spot a figure surrounded by flowers.

[Working and adapting.]

Her long, brown hair cascaded down her back, and although she wore red-rimmed glasses, Naruzawa Kaede still recognized her.

A student from Shimokitazawa who loves to sing seems capable of doing something.

This is it.

So, while asking the other party to bring a large bouquet of roses and giving it to Yamada Ryo, Naruzawa Kaede started to get closer to the girl.

It turned out that this was her father's friend's shop, and she was only there temporarily to help out. She planned to work there part-time after high school next year to buy some things she wanted.

Mingze Feng felt he could bring her into the group.

So they explained the situation and extended an invitation.

However, the other party seemed troubled by this sudden invitation, but still replied seriously that she couldn't do it.

Although Shimokitazawa is a direct-entry university, if your exam scores drop, you'll be confined to your home and forced to study diligently for the entire summer.

Besides, she doesn't want to stay here to continue her studies. She needs to study even harder.

In a moment of understanding, when the girl wanted to say goodbye, she realized that neither of them had asked the other's name.

"Invited to join the club without even asking my name?" the girl thought to herself, chuckling softly.

"Oh, right, I haven't asked your name yet."

"Maple. Naruzawa Maple."

"what?"

The girl took a half step back, her face turning pale.

She carefully examined the handsome young man in front of her, her gaze passing past him before landing on the blue-haired girl standing at the shop entrance.

When Narusawa Kaede waved goodbye to her, she was stunned and didn't reply. Under Ogiso Setsuna's gaze, Narusawa Kaede went to Yamada Ryo's side and handed her a bouquet of red roses.

Yamada was also smiling. She said something, and then Narusawa Kaede raised her finger to poke Yamada Ryo's forehead.

Yamada Ryo dodged it, then held the flowers in one hand and touched Narusawa Kaede's face with the other.

They are truly a happy and genuine couple.

Isn't this the same Naruzawa Kaede and Yamada Ryo who were acting all lovey-dovey this afternoon?

It's so disgusting it makes my teeth ache.

As Ogiso Setsuna watched this scene, she recalled the letter Yamada Ryo had posted on the back blackboard that she had seen at the back of the classroom that afternoon.

That's really... impressive.

"..."

Ogiso Setsuna remembers that it was in the first half of last year, a whole year ago now.

At that time, she encountered almost the same thing as that letter.

Initially, it was the same letter.

But later, many of her unsavory stories, even her complaints about being too strict with her family, her declining grades, and her low allowance, were spread with exaggerated embellishments, completely defaming her. Even rumors of her going out to find an older man spread. As for the even more offensive things, the girl said she had already forgotten them.

A year has passed, and the rumors have long since faded from public attention.

If it weren't for this incident, Ogiso Setsuna would never have remembered what happened so long ago.

Now, she understands what happened.

Many of the stories that were embellished and spread were only discussed with a few people.

It's nothing more than when her former best friend's crush confessed his feelings to her, and even though she clearly rejected him, she was still attacked by her best friend who liked that man.

What a great best friend.

This is school bullying.

This is what Ogiso Setsuna, realizing that no one was making friends with her anymore, thought she had done something wrong. She went home and asked her parents, and this is the answer she received.

But if it's not there, it's not there.

The father said that the innocent would be proven innocent, and that this matter would not be tolerated. He would talk to the teacher to discuss a solution, and if that didn't work, she would transfer to another school. The mother stayed with her, talking and comforting her. The younger brother, who was still in elementary school, said that he would beat up all the bad guys who bullied her when he grew up.

Of the prisoners at the time, some had already transferred to other schools. Some stayed, and Ogiso Setsuna had stopped contacting them.

I'll just stop talking to those people.

Standing outside the flower shop, Ogiso Setsuna's eyes reflected the image of the couple reaching out to each other on the street.

It seems that what happened at noon today hasn't affected their relationship at all.

so good...

Ogiso Setsuna expressed her heartfelt sentiments, wishing that the couple could continue to have such pure love.

She has already discussed it with her family and plans to take the entrance exam for a better affiliated high school, which will be like starting over.

But more or less, there will still be some...

I want to make friends.

Ogiso Setsuna gazed into the distance until she could no longer see Narusawa Kaede and Yamada Ryo's figures.

The sky gradually darkened at the end of the road, and her eyes were drawn to the increasing crowds on the street.

Is it rush hour?

"Ah...guest."

As yet another customer walked into the store, Ogiso Setsuna smiled contentedly.

Feng Jun, Liang Sang.

You two must take good care of yourselves.

Chapter 69 London Deserter ANN

Once outside the shopping arcade, Yamada Ryotsu stayed beside Narusawa Kaede. She wasn't even looking where she was going.

Naruzawa Kaede held onto her clothes to prevent her from getting lost, and Yamada Ryo followed him like that.

Yamada Ryo's attention was mostly focused on the bouquet of roses in his arms.

Perhaps it was a special secret of the florist, or perhaps it was because it was a gift from Narusawa Kaede, but Yamada Ryo found these roses exceptionally beautiful and sweet, making him unable to resist reaching out to handle them, twirling the petals and counting them.

"Maple, this one has more than a dozen petals. With so many flowers, how about we soak in the bath together tonight?"

"Well, as long as you like it."

As Mingze Feng said this, he thought about the bath. Would a bath with flower petals really have an extra fragrance? Maybe it would, after all, a bath to stop nausea would always leave something behind.

Yamada Ryo gently sniffed the flower petals, the corners of her mouth curving upwards.

She doesn't reject beautiful things. Some people think she's unconventional, but she simply says she likes things she likes and dislikes things she dislikes.

Instead of specifically saying you dislike things that everyone likes.

But if it's maple...

For Yamada Ryo, she would like it even more if it was a gift from Kaede.

Hmm~ Hmm~

"Hmm?" Mingze Feng didn't hear what she was humming.

"Hmm..." Yamada Ryo nodded lightly, her steps becoming lighter.

This is what a date should be like.

The two of them would go out together after class, discuss club activities together in the club, and go for walks together after failing to recruit members.

There are also flowers to take.

It's really great.

For example, right now, Yamada Ryo loves the flower petals so much.

"maple,"

Seeing how much she liked it, Ming Zefeng even carefully recalled what his classmate had told him earlier.

This variety seems to be called Pink Lady.

Maybe I should buy some more another day and plant a few at home.

Since Ryo likes it so much.

Walking along the roadside, Yamada Ryo freed one hand and grabbed Narusawa Kaede's fingers, and then the two of them leaned against the roadside together.
