I'll kill you after I finish this game!

After getting up, both men and women disappeared. Lei Zhe looked like he might make a move at any moment. Watching the show and getting caught in the crossfire would be a loss.

Natsukawa Masuzu, who was also frightened, initially stiffened in body and smile, her fear quickly turning into inexplicable excitement.

As expected of the author of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Jotaro is a perfect example of the tough guy archetype...

"Natsukawa Masuzu and I don't know each other at all. It's hard to believe that your inexplicable liking is sincere. So I reject your confession. I have no interest in you whatsoever!" Rai Zhe rejected her without giving her any face.

Why come to him of all people to use as a shield?

After saying this, she glanced at Mashiro beside her, gently took the other's slender wrist, and left the classroom.

Before leaving, Shiina Mashiro glanced at Natsukawa Masuzu, whose face was flushed. After hearing Rai Zhe's very impolite words, her discomfort disappeared.

A slight smile played on her lips as she looked down at Lei Zhe's large hand holding her wrist, her mood instantly improving.

After the two left, the atmosphere gradually warmed up, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. This guy was as difficult to get along with as ever, just like a mafia boss. His aura was impossible to ignore when he stood there.

Raiji's rejection of Natsukawa Masuzu's confession and his departure with Mashiro further enlivened the situation.

"That Natsukawa-kun was rejected without any mercy, but that's pretty much in line with Yotsuki's style."

"As expected of Yozuki Raize, he's ruthless when it comes to rejecting people."

"After my confession failed, I felt inexplicably happy. I still have a chance..."

"...Am I the only one who feels that Natsukawa is the third most pitiful one? I think Yozuki and Shiina are the real couple. They just pulled her away, obviously because they were afraid Shiina would misunderstand something."

"Shh! If you know, don't say it out loud, Natsukawa-kun is still here!"

Even Natsukawa Masaki was taken aback by Rai Tetsuo's ruthless rejection; his decisiveness and lack of leniency left her somewhat stunned.

My first ever confession of love was rejected!

Natsukawa Masuzu's face was flushed just as Mashiro had seen earlier. It wasn't shyness or an act; she was genuinely angry.

Doesn't this guy consider the girl's feelings? Rejecting her so bluntly in public is really hurtful.

Although most boys like Natsukawa Masuzu, girls also admire her for her outstanding looks.

However, there is an even larger group of people who are jealous and resentful of Natsukawa Masaki.

Natsukawa Masuzu, who was always being confessed to, was now rejected, which they found quite satisfying. The next day, the news of her being rejected without mercy was spread throughout the school by some people with added embellishments.

..........

"Zhe, can you keep holding my hand?"

Once away from the crowd, Raiji released Mashiro's wrist, preparing to go with him to the Service Club activity room to continue working on manga.

But when Mashiro saw that Raiji had let go of her wrist, she felt a little empty inside. She wanted to continue being led around like a little pet being led by its owner.

Rai Zhe turned his head and looked at Mashiro with surprise. As always, Mashiro was calm. A little expectation appeared in her pure eyes, and her little hand was still slightly raised forward.

Like a little pet gesturing to its owner, Raize looked down silently at Mashiro's outstretched hand, hesitated for a second or two, and then reached out again to gently grasp it.

Like leading their own pet, Raiji and Mashiro walked one after the other. Mashiro stared blankly at Raiji's back in front of her. This feeling of being led was a little different from Rita's.

With some inexplicable emotion in her heart, Mashiro wanted to draw all her current feelings and events into her manga, hoping to create a work unlike any she had ever done before.

Unaware of Mashiro's inner feelings, Raiji simply led the girl along, and the two arrived together at the Service Club's activity room.

He let go of Mashiro's hand, opened the door and saw a man and two women inside. Hikiko was sitting there alone, looking at something on his phone.

Yukino Yukinoshita and Yui Yuigahama, who recently joined the Service Club, are standing in front of the desk where Reiji and Mashiro are working, teasing a small, scarlet-furred kitten, which is Scarlet.

Scarlett came to school with Rezer, and recently, when they had some free time, Rezer and Yu took Scarlett for walks, so she became familiar with her surroundings outside of home.

Yui Yuigahama wanted to tease and pet the cat. Although Yukino really liked the incredibly cute red kitten, she couldn't show her love for cats to outsiders.

She watched as Yui Yuigahama tried her best to pet the kitten, but Scarlett dodged her with a look of disgust. She was getting a little anxious. Did Yui even know how to comfort a kitten? Didn't she see that the kitten was disgusted by her?

Scarlett does indeed hate being touched by strangers; if she hadn't been properly trained by Rezer, she probably would have developed a protective instinct.

This human actually dared to touch my meticulously groomed fur? Don't even think about it!

Scarlett deftly and gracefully dodged Yui's touch, her ears perked up slightly as she heard the door open. Turning her head to see her master, she immediately jumped off the table and quickly ran to Reiji's side.

Then, it nimbly climbed up Lei Zhe's trouser leg and onto his body, finally lazily lying on Lei Zhe's shoulder and affectionately rubbing its little head against Lei Zhe's cheek.

Mashiro also likes Scarlet very much, and with Reiji's permission, she allows this seemingly pure human to touch her.

Yukino and Yui immediately noticed the arrival of Raiji and Mashiro. They were quite envious when they saw the little fire cat that had been so arrogant just moments before, not allowing them to touch it, now rubbing against Raiji's shoulder.

Yukino, who loves cats, especially secretly wishes she could switch places with Raiji.

The moment she saw Scarlett, she took a liking to the fiery red kitten. She initially thought the scarlet on its fur was dyed, but upon closer inspection, she realized it was all-natural.

This is a cat whose breed Yukinoshita doesn't know from the cat encyclopedia, so naturally she is very curious and envious.

"Good afternoon, everyone in the Service Department. Scarlett is grateful for your care."

While stroking the little fire cat's head, Rai Zhe naturally walked into the activity room with Mashiro and greeted everyone.

I led Mashiro to the desk to begin today's manga instruction.

"Well, you're welcome. After all, Scarlett looks quite young, so it's only right that we take care of her."

Yukino coughed awkwardly and returned to her seat. She felt embarrassed that Raiji had seen her playing with the cat with Yui.

Her pink hair was tied into a bun on one side of her head. This hairstyle suited her lively personality perfectly, and Yui wasn't afraid of Raiji at all, since Miura Yumiko had already given her instructions.

"Sigh~ Scarlett won't let anyone touch Yuki at all, and she won't even eat the cat biscuits that were specially prepared for her. Now she's so close to Yozuki-kun and Shiina-san. I'm so envious."

The very outgoing girl stayed with Raiji and Mashiro, her eyes sparkling as she watched Raiji pick up the little fire cat, and gently placed it next to Mashiro.

The kitten, which wouldn't allow her to touch it, now comfortably stretched out its arms on Mashiro's long, fair legs, then lay down and rubbed against Mashiro's thighs before using Mashiro's thighs as a makeshift bed.

Mashiro also reached out and touched Scarlett's wonderfully soft crimson fur; the texture was so pleasant that the girl squinted her eyes slightly.

On the other side, Yukino Yukinoshita, who was pretending to read a book, was even more envious than Yui. She had put some cat food and cat toys on her table, hoping that the cat would get close to her so that she could pet it.

As a result, Scarlet, the seemingly young little fire cat, still didn't pay much attention to the other party and ignored Yukino's cat food or cat biscuits.

Don't you see the delicacies I eat at home? You bring out this awful-smelling stuff and expect me to eat it? What are you up to?

At home, besides Reiji, Scarlett only lets Yu and Sei pet him. Haruna, with her disrespectful and ungrateful behavior, usually keeps the little fire cat far away or snuggles into Yu or Sei's arms.

Haruna, annoyed by the cute creatures, could only dejectedly pet the little yellow chicks; she was still more interested in these versatile chickens.

“Scarlett is just a bit shy, and she doesn’t like cat biscuits because I’ve spoiled her and she can’t eat regular food.”

Reiji started coloring Mashiro's sketches, glancing at Scarlett who was sleeping soundly on Mashiro's lap. He was absolutely right; even though Scarlett was still quite young, he was just as picky.

At home, we eat with everyone. The cat eats whatever we eat. What are cat biscuits?

"Regular food? These cat biscuits are the best and most expensive, even some picky cats can eat them."

"And speaking of which, Night Moon, what breed of cat is your fiery red kitten? I've looked up a lot of information but haven't found any cats with naturally red fur."

Yukino Yukinoshita is very serious about cats, especially about cat-related issues. The cat biscuits she carefully prepares with her allowance are truly rare items, and even the most delicate cats can eat them.

How picky can someone's palate be?

If Yukino knew what breed of cat Scarlett was, she could definitely get along with him better.

Yukino used to be too embarrassed to ask others about their cats, but now she's curious to know what's so special about Scarlett.

Yui and Hikigami were the same. At first, they were attracted by the bright red kitten that came to the Service Club activity room. Its fur was dyed, but after a closer look, Hikigami and Yukino realized that it wasn't dyed, but naturally so.

"The Scarlet breed?"

Reiji looked down at Scarlett, who looked lazy. Is she a cat breed? Does she count as a cat that will become a cat-eared girl in the future?

No one would believe him even if he told them, and he had no intention of telling them anyway.

Rei took a cat-shaped biscuit from Yui and held it in front of Scarlett's mouth, saying, "I can't tell you the breed, but it's true that Scarlett doesn't like your cat biscuits, isn't that right, Scarlett?"

"Meow~"

Scarlett opened her eyes, gently pushed away the cat biscuit in front of her with her little paws, then twisted her body and turned around as if looking for a pillow. She gently licked Little Zhenbai's smooth thigh, then rubbed against it and continued to sleep.

"Hmm..." Xiaozhenbai's face turned a little red. She felt a strange sensation on her legs and was not used to the cat's tongue licking her legs, but Scarlett's furry touch was extremely comfortable.

Yukino was somewhat discouraged by the lack of information about the little fire cat, but there was nothing she could do, since it was Raiji's cat after all.

She loves cats, but she's not allowed to keep them at home, and she can't keep them in her apartment either, so she can only satisfy her cat cravings by finding some stray cats or cats in pet stores.

Now she loves Scarlett, this incredibly cute kitten, even more. Although the kitten isn't affectionate towards her, she believes that one day she'll win the kitten over and make it her cat!

Curious, Yui watched as Raiji and Mashiro collaborated on drawing a comic. She didn't disturb the two who were focused on it, after all, Yui was also a fan of Mashiro's comics, and she was very lucky to be able to see the latest comic content first.

Every day at school, whether it's Raiji himself or his shadow clone, he's always there to draw comics with Mashiro.

The memories after the shadow clone dissipated also made Raiji deeply remember the memories of his time with Mashiro.

Back then... was the reason why you rejected Natsukawa Masuzu so ruthlessly because you sensed Mashiro's sudden change in emotions?

Time passed gradually in the activity room, and the two different clubs got used to each other's presence.

Tuk Tuk!

wow-

Two knocks sounded in the activity room, followed by the sound of the door being opened and a familiar, melodious female voice coming out.

"excuse me!"

Natsukawa Masuzu walked in with a smile on her face. This beautiful girl had a similar temperament to Yukino, one was aloof and the other was dazzling, both of them were very good at attracting attention.

The three members of the Service Department looked over when they heard the sound. When they saw that it was Natsukawa Masuzu, Hikiko looked a little surprised. Why would this woman come here?

Mashiro was engrossed in her drawing, completely absorbed in her own world. The only sound she could hear was Raize's voice beside her; all other sounds were automatically filtered out.

When Rai Zhe heard that familiar voice, his face, which had been smiling gently as he guided Mashiro's story development, suddenly turned cold. He stared at Natsukawa Masuzu, who had appeared in the activity room, as if she were an annoying piece of chewing gum stuck to his hand and he couldn't get rid of it.

"I'm looking for Yotsuki Raizhe from the game department."

Natsukawa Masuzu maintained a polite smile and greeted the Service Club members on the other side. She naturally knew that Raiji's club and the Service Club shared an activity room.

Despite being somewhat annoyed by Lei Zhe's cold treatment, Xia Chuanzhen still wore a gentle and beautiful smile.

This smile seemed quite incongruous to the three observant people in the activity room.

Leaving aside the fact that Raiji himself knew what kind of person Natsukawa Masuzu was, Hachiman Hikiko, with his keen observation skills and ability to see through people's personalities, could naturally see the wickedness hidden beneath Natsukawa Masuzu's charming appearance.

When Yukino saw Natsukawa Masuzu's smile, she was reminded of her older sister. The smile looked beautiful but didn't seem real at all, so she immediately judged that Natsukawa Masuzu was probably the same type as her sister, and therefore she didn't like her.

What was originally a very likable and beautiful smile from Natsukawa Masuzu had the opposite effect in the eyes and hearts of some people in this activity room.
