People at the practical education center only want to drop out.

Kushida: What's going on? I exposed my dark side, but I received a lot of praise?

At this moment, Hasebe said again, "Um, could you say it again? I want to learn too."

76. If you're a friend, come and roast me!

In order to maintain her image as a little angel, Kushida always tries her best to help others with their requests.

Hasebe's request was a bit strange.

He actually made me say swear words to her.

However, since Hasebe had made this request, Kushida agreed.

Soon, Kushida whispered to Hasebe, "H-Baka, hanta."

"No!" Hasebe shook her head after listening to Kushida's demonstration: "It doesn't have that feeling from before."

"What did you feel just now? What did you feel?" Kushida asked, puzzled.

Hasebe thought for a moment and commented, "You've lost that 'pure' feeling from before; it's like you're suppressing something."

Kushida explained, "Ahaha~ After all, I didn't want to scare Haruka."

"Hmm~ That's not how it is." Hasebe once again denied Kushida's explanation, saying, "Although I'm not very smart, I think I'm quite perceptive when it comes to feelings of 'like' and 'dislike'."

I can sense that you actually enjoy teasing people, but whether it's towards me or Horikita, you're not entirely innocent. It's as if you're carrying something and suppressing your own impulses.

When you were facing Horikita, the burden you carried seemed a little lighter, but when you were facing me, it seemed a little heavier.

But when you were criticizing Bai, you instantly let go of all inhibitions and became completely unrestrained.

What I want is that feeling, that feeling of enjoying something without any psychological burden, with the purest purpose, and then experiencing genuine joy from the bottom of my heart.

"I don't enjoy arguing with people," Kushida tried to defend himself.

"Little Kikyo, you're not as fun if you do that."

"Mainly, Bai taught me how to roast people. He was my sparring partner, and I often roasted him with all my might during practice. No matter how I roasted him, he wouldn't get angry. On the contrary, he would occasionally say something that would make me quite angry. Therefore, I felt no guilt when roasting him. It was more like venting, so I didn't feel any burden."

"In that case, you can treat me as your sparring partner too."

I said you like to argue with people, don't you get angry?

Why don't you try venting your feelings to me too?

"If these are those two words, I assure you, I won't be angry, so why don't you try letting go of your burdens with me too?" Hasebe said.

"Oh? Shall I give it a try?"

"Come and try."

"Baka, so bad."

"You're still too kind, have another one!"

"Baka! That's too much!"

"Don't worry about me, keep going!"

"Baka! That's too much!"

"I'm starting to feel it!"

Ring ring ring~

"Oh dear, class is starting." Hasebe said with a regretful look, "Shall we continue next period?"

Hasebe has a lazy yet straightforward personality.

For her, liking is liking, and disliking is disliking.

Her personality makes her uninterested in most things in the world.

But once she encounters something that interests her, she will concentrate all her energy on it and become serious about it.

"Mmm-hmm." Kushida nodded repeatedly, his face flushed with excitement.

Next, there were two consecutive breaks between classes.

At Hasebe's request, Kushida would practice arguing with Hasebe.

After Kushida realized that Hasebe really wouldn't get angry, he gradually relaxed.

When the third period ended and the third break arrived, Kushida's good friend Wang Meiyu suddenly realized that Kushida's "energy" was low, so she couldn't help but run to find Kushida, only to find that Kushida and Hasebe were having a great time.

Wang Meiyu suddenly felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

We're clearly the best friends.

Wang Meiyu finally couldn't help but interject:

"Kikyo-chan, Hasebe-kun, what are you talking about? Can we join in?"

Hasebe seemed to be deep in thought, then secretly rested the heavy part of his upper body on the table and said, "I'm exploring the cute parts of Kikyo."

"What? Develop what? Aren't we too young? And we're all girls." Wang Meiyu blushed, seemingly lost in thought.

Hasebe: "Is there something wrong with girls? Girls can like cute girls too, right?"

"That's what I said."

"Haruka-chan, don't let people get the wrong idea!" Kushida quickly cut off the conversation from the direction Coco was describing: "We're just practicing our comebacks."

Wang Meiyu: "Practicing witty comebacks? With Hasebe?"

Hasebe: "Yeah, I noticed that Kikyo wasn't as strong when she was fighting Horikita as she was when she was fighting Shirai. Considering that Shirai was Kikyo's sparring partner, I think Kikyo's true fighting power is far more than what she showed when she fought Horikita. It's just that she was a little restrained and suppressed her fighting power."

Therefore, I plan to be Kushida's sparring partner, so that she can get used to different opponents. This might help her unleash her full fighting power in front of Horikita.

I made a huge sacrifice to be a sparring partner for Little Kisame.

Kushida then smiled and said, "Haruka is a very nice person."

Wang Meiyu felt a pang of bitterness again and couldn't help but say, "It's just sparring! Actually, I can do it too! Kikyo-chan and I are best friends. Being a sparring partner for a friend and getting teased a bit is nothing!"

"Really?" Hasebe said, looking at Wang Meiyu, but his expression seemed to say, "I don't believe it."

Wang Meiyu panicked and quickly said to Kushida, "Kikyo-chan, hurry up and roast me!"

Kushida: "This...isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Wang Meiyu: "Kikyo-chan! Aren't we good friends?"

Kushida: "Of course."

Wang Meiyu: "Then you can argue with me!"

Kushida was a little confused. Since when did it become necessary to prove good friendships through teasing and being teased?

"Yu is such a troublesome girl," Kushida thought. "But since Yu herself asked, then..."

At this moment, Wang Meiyu noticed that Kushida was reluctant to confront her, and felt that Kushida's "feelings for her had faded".

Wang Meiyu felt a little wronged.

The observant Kushida noticed Wang Meiyu's emotional change and immediately became anxious.

"Idiot! Xiaoyu is a big idiot!" Kushida blurted out, uttering the words she had said many times in front of Bai Lan.

After saying that, Kushida immediately realized something was wrong.

"I'm so good at cursing Xiaoyu, will Xiaoyu and Haruka find out that I often secretly curse Xiaoyu behind her back?"

Kushida thought with concern.

But at this time.

Wang Meiyu hugged Kushida tightly, excitedly saying, "Look! Look! I'm not angry because you called me 'idiot' three times. On the contrary, I'm very happy. This is proof that our friendship is unbreakable!"

Kushida stared in disbelief: "Is this really how it can be proven?"

77. Kushida: My friends all want me to argue.

Hasebe looked at the two girls hugging in front of her, pinched her chin thoughtfully, and said, "According to this logic, the better the relationship, the more they can withstand criticism."

Little Kikyo teased me for over twenty minutes, and I wasn't angry at all, so I must really like her.

It's like, Kikyo and Horikita bicker all the time, and she hasn't given up despite being teased by Horikita so many times, which shows that she really wants to be friends with Horikita...

Upon hearing this, Wang Meiyu immediately became anxious and said, "Kikyo-chan, please continue! I must prove just how deep my friendship with you is!"

Kushida: ...

I just feel it's a bit too heavy!

.......

Starting from the fourth period in the morning, a rumor gradually spread throughout the class.

Only by successfully withstanding Kushida's verbal attacks without developing resentment while serving as his sparring partner can one prove that there is a friendship between them, and that they are true friends!

In the general consensus, Kushida, with his strong affability, is basically the most popular person in the class and the easiest to become friends with.

In a game, that would be like getting a rare card in the first ten draws, with the system giving it to new players at half price.

It has powerful performance and is easy to cultivate.

Unless you're ridiculously bad at the game or simply don't want to play it, you should be able to raise something.

If you can't even manage to level up this card, then you can forget about playing this game; it's embarrassing to even admit it.

The same applies to the social circle within a class. Unless you're like Horikita, who has a withdrawn personality and doesn't want to participate in class activities at all, if you participate in group activities but can't even achieve the goal of being "Kishida Kikyo's friend," you'll be looked down upon!

I'm not the one who can save you.

After this claim spread...

Those who considered themselves Kushida's friends, were proud of this identity, were unwilling to give it up, and wanted to further solidify it, all came to him seeking confirmation.

Kushida probably figured out how this rumor got out, and she didn't want to expose her best friend.

You can't exactly tell Wang Meiyu, "You were scolded for nothing, could you?"

In the end, Kushida neither denied nor confirmed, but simply said things like, "I'm very touched that Xiaoyu practiced with me," and "Of course she's my good friend."

However, Kushida's non-denial was taken as an admission.

—If you're a friend, come and roast me!
