"It must hurt a lot, it looks a bit scary."

"Miyazawa seems to be having a lot of bad luck lately. Should we try drawing a fortune stick at a temple?"

Miyazawa Itsuki shook his head.

"It's not that serious, it's just a minor injury, it'll be fine in a couple of days."

Although it will be inconvenient to be unable to use my right hand for the time being, fortunately, I have mastered LV2 level [pen calligraphy].

The skill automatically helped him master the technique of writing with his non-dominant hand.

Therefore, basic writing is not a problem.

I initially thought this bonus tip was pretty useless.

Unexpectedly, there was a pleasant surprise.

Yuta Nakamura suppressed his worried look.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, he said to Miyazawa Itsuki:

"Oh, by the way, there was a news story yesterday that I feel I need to share with Miyazawa."

"what?"

"Yesterday, when Miyazawa wasn't there, Takato and I went to the classroom office to ask the homeroom teacher for your home address..."

"I saw a beautiful older sister talking to the class teacher."

"A pretty... older sister?"

Miyazawa Itsuki was confused; what did this have to do with him?

"That older woman seemed to be a working professional. She had very dark circles under her eyes and was a bit short, but her makeup was very exquisite. Her clothes also looked expensive."

Takato Tanaka also added the following information:

"It seemed like she was talking to the homeroom teacher about transferring someone to another school. I saw a form with the words 'transfer' written on it on the homeroom teacher's desk."

"Furthermore, she asked the homeroom teacher about something, and we heard a pronunciation similar to [tree]. Could it be related to you, Miyazawa?"

Miyazawa Itsuki was somewhat speechless.

"You must have misheard. There are quite a few words that sound similar to 'tree'."

"At least, I don't feel like I have anything that needs to be looked for."

Even though he works as a rented boyfriend, [Miyazawa Teru] pays his taxes properly. There's no need for anyone to come knocking on his door.

Needless to say, Miyazawa Itsuki's identity is also obvious.

Having shed the aspect of being a rented boyfriend, even the potential romantic entanglements no longer exist.

It absolutely couldn't be his doing.

After saying goodbye to his two friends, Miyazawa Itsuki returned to his seat.

I put down my bag and sat down.

My gaze unconsciously drifted to the side.

The girl with long blonde hair also watched him silently.

Or rather, it was never moved in the first place.

Good morning, Asahi-kun.

Miyazawa Itsuki gave what he thought was a kind smile.

Chapter 92 [Friends] The Rift

"Thank you so much, Asahi, for making the trip yesterday. I received all the gifts. I'm so sorry you had to spend so much."

The first thing Miyazawa Itsuki did was to thank everyone for what happened yesterday.

Naomi Asahina strives to maintain good relationships with everyone.

But that doesn't mean her kindness is a given.

Miyazawa Itsuki was extremely grateful and felt obligated to repay the kindness shown to him for going to such lengths for a friend he had only known for a short time.

"Um……"

Naomi Asahina gave a vague reply, her voice sounding somewhat hollow.

Miyazawa Itsuki was slightly surprised.

I thought it was based on my understanding of Naomi.

She would likely respond with a cheerful and energetic reply, such as, "That's how it is between friends, so don't be shy."

But in reality, the girl's reaction was strange.

She looked listless, and her gaze quickly shifted away from him.

Miyazawa Itsuki thought for a moment and continued:

"It was my fault for not properly entertaining Asahi-kun when he visited yesterday. So I was thinking, if you have time..."

"Thank you, but Miyazawa-san, you don't need to take it to heart. It's just what I should do as class representative."

The girl quickly interrupted him.

Because Asahina's gaze had already turned away, only her beautiful profile could be seen.

Therefore, he cannot accurately judge the other person's expression when they are speaking.

"..."

But I had a feeling that Asahina Naomi didn't really want to continue talking.

The replies were also quite sharp.

It's a polite but distant way of putting it.

"I see."

Miyazawa Itsuki nodded.

"Well then, thank you very much for visiting yesterday, Asahi-kun. If you need any help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."

His job renting a boyfriend honed his ability to read people's expressions and moods.

He could tell that Naomi Asahina didn't seem to be in good spirits.

Therefore, this is not the time to speak. It would be more appropriate to let the other person calm down.

Let's talk about Her Highness the Saintess later.

If Naomi Asahina doesn't actually care at all, that would be even better.

Miyazawa Itsuki withdrew his gaze and began tidying up his books.

Beside her, Asahina secretly observed his reaction out of the corner of her eye.

Seeing that Miyazawa Itsuki was not upset by her deliberate distancing, her stiff heart gradually relaxed.

Even if he isn't treated with the same enthusiasm as before, Tree King is still Tree King.

They would not change their attitude because of this, and fully understood their own thoughts, thus ending the conversation.

Sorry, Tree.

I don't hate you at all, not even a little bit.

However, if I talk to you again, my mind will only become more and more confused.

It's all my fault.

I fell in love with someone I shouldn't have loved. Our relationship was clearly just a financial transaction, but I crossed the line without permission.

So this is also my punishment.

Although it still feels unbelievable that the other party is that legendary Holy Maiden, the reality is there and I have to accept it.

Shu-jun really does have a girlfriend, and she's very outstanding.

Their relationship had progressed to the point where they could visit each other's homes.

Once this fact is confirmed, it's tantamount to a death sentence.

I can't go any further.

All that's left to do is desperately endure and control your emotions.

When you fall in love with someone for the first time, your emotions are like a wild horse that has broken free of its reins, completely out of control.

But we must keep it under control, otherwise it will cause trouble for Tree Lord.

No one likes a third party who interferes in a couple's relationship.

Even after trying several times, I can't give up my feelings for Shu-kun. It's all meaningless anyway.

This is a relationship destined to be unblessed. All I can do is try to keep it isolated from new opportunities and let it wither away.

Naomi Asahina bit her lip so hard that she could even taste the rust.

……

The two morning classes passed quickly.

During break, Asahina was once again surrounded by people.

A girl excitedly said to her:

"Little Asahi, did you bring that lipstick I mentioned last week that I really wanted to see?"

Naomi Asahina was taken aback, and replied guiltily:

"I'm sorry, Ninomiya-san, I didn't bring it today. Can I give it to you tomorrow?"

As a popular model, she often receives all sorts of gifts from her collaborators.

Her room was filled with many exquisite and expensive cosmetics.

Naomi Asahina is naturally beautiful, and makeup would actually diminish her charm, so she has never used it.

Meanwhile, her classmates, who were trying to curry favor with her, attempted to ask her for those expensive gifts under the pretext of "borrowing."

Asahina Omi is not stingy with these things; in her view, they are the "expenses" that must be paid to maintain friendships.

It's just that recent events have taken up almost all of her energy.

I just didn't think of it for a moment.

The girl named Ninomiya's face quickly showed displeasure, but she quickly returned to normal.

"Oh, it's okay, it doesn't matter whether you bring Asahi or not, I'm just a little curious."

"Oh, by the way, Givenchy's new four-season themed lip glosses are really pretty. I remember Asahi even filmed a promotional ad for them, right? Do you have that one too?"

"……Have."

"Could you bring it with you? I'd really like to see it!"

"I'm sorry, Ninomiya-san," Naomi said apologetically.

"That lip gloss hasn't been officially released yet, and due to a confidentiality agreement, I can't take it out of the house."

"Confidentiality agreement? What does that matter? If you don't tell and I don't tell, how would those businessmen know?"

Naomi Asahina looked troubled.

"I'm so sorry..."

This is a polite way of declining.

Ninomiya's expression stiffened.

It seems they didn't expect Naomi to refuse.

Normally, this beloved class monitor is always compliant with the requests of her [friends].

Unless it's something particularly difficult, repeating it once or twice will usually get them to agree.

However, Naomi surprisingly refused the request today.
