As a former member of C-group, I want to destroy mygo!

But before his fist could land on Kamiya Yu, he was punched in the stomach, almost vomiting up his dinner from the previous day.

Kamiya Yu didn't even bother to look at the two pieces of trash lying on the ground, piled up together. He simply stepped over them, his entire weight trampling on them, causing them to break out in a cold sweat and no longer daring to even think about fighting him.

The situation changed too quickly. Natsukawa Masuzu, who was initially a little flustered, looked at the scene in astonishment. After a moment of stunned silence, she realized that she was safe and looked at Kamiya Yu with a dazed expression.

Being rescued is good, and ever since realizing her mistake, she has been eager to find an opportunity to mend her relationship with Kamiya Yu.

But... in this situation of being rescued unilaterally, she actually didn't want to do it that way anymore.

The only thing she didn't want was to be looked down upon by Kamiya Yu.

But I'm still very grateful to him.

"...Thank you." Natsukawa Masaki said softly, pursing her lips.

Looking at the beautiful girl in front of him, Kamiya Yu felt no excitement of rescuing a damsel in distress. His impression of Natsukawa Masuzu was actually quite good when they first met, at least above zero.

But with her dramatic and irrational behavior, her popularity has already plummeted to negative levels.

It's one thing if he tries to destroy his band of tools, causing Akane, whom he finally found, to run away as well, since he certainly has malicious intentions.

However, although Riki didn't hold it against him for his sake, he still couldn't let go of the fact that he had been harassed by Natsukawa Masaki.

"No need to thank me. If the situation hadn't been so dangerous, and if I hadn't been verbally harassed by some thugs, I wouldn't have helped." I would help others, but not Natsukawa Masami.

Speaking casually, Kamiya Yu's attitude was far less gentle than when he treated other girls. He said coldly, "What are you doing here? Aren't you afraid of dying?"

It's not actually that dangerous, but Natsukawa Masaki is a real exception.

She is so beautiful.

While Riki, Tamamo, and Akane are all beautiful, they are not so beautiful that they would make someone lose their mind and take risks.

But Xia Bachuan's appearance was really cool... Before, Kamiya Yu hadn't paid any attention to her at all, and hadn't really looked at this girl's face. But now, stimulated by Xiangzi, he couldn't help but observe her carefully and was amazed.

He could say definitively that, apart from Xiangzi, no one else in the three bands had the looks of Xia Chuanzhen. The key point was that she not only had a pretty face, but also a curvaceous figure with a slender waist and legs.

It's incredibly effective at attracting the average guy.

Despite this somewhat impulsive attitude, Natsukawa Masuzu wasn't annoyed. As if she had thought of something, she narrowed her azure eyes slightly, her corners curving alluringly upwards as she looked at Kamiya Yu. After a moment of thought, she finally made up her mind.

Even at a time like this, she couldn't be gentle. Instead, she said, "If you had told me earlier that you were coming to catch pandas, of course I wouldn't have come to a place like this for no reason."

As soon as the girl finished speaking, Kamiya Yu frowned: "You actually have such good intentions?"

He understood what Natsukawa Masuzu meant... Indeed, this guy was very intelligent from the beginning, and it was only natural that he could observe Yukino Yukinoshita's incompatibility just like him.

However, based on this guy's previous actions, he really didn't believe that Natsukawa Masaki would care so much about the band and its members.

"...It seems that my image in your heart is ridiculously negative."

Volume 1: Chapter 81, Section 80: A Sudden Plunge in Temperature, Xiangzi and Mu's Standoff

"I don't care what your image is like here. Go back early. You don't need to worry about my band."

He's a bit fierce.

Kamiya Yu's current aggression far exceeds his usual level, which is somewhat frightening.

Although he originally didn't care about the Natsukawa Masuzu Blast Band incident, that was before today.

When he was holding Xiangzi just now, even through the bearskin, he could still feel how tired Xiangzi was after a day's work, to the point that he could barely stand.

This made him feel a sudden sense of dread... If Akane had also run away back then, the time it would have taken for him to free Xiangzi from this hellish suffering would have been delayed by at least several more months. At this moment, his hatred for Natsukawa Masaki instantly reached its highest point ever.

At this moment, Kamiya Yu was nothing like he was with Suze, where they seemed to be arguing on the surface but were actually still very tolerant. Instead, he was genuinely angry and extremely rude to Natsukawa Masamichi, an attitude he rarely displayed.

"I don't need to take orders from you on this kind of thing, it's just that we're in the same band."

Upon seeing his aggressive words, Natsukawa Masuzu, who had initially positioned herself as the weaker party who should apologize, immediately became somewhat annoyed. Her azure eyes widened as she argued forcefully, and she grew increasingly impatient.

"Besides, what do you mean by 'your band'? It's like I'm not the bassist in a band!"

"..."

Kamiya Yu paused for a moment, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

If he could, he really wanted to kick away this girl with the faint, sweet fragrance in front of him, but unfortunately he couldn't.

He could only say, "Comforting the team members is the captain's responsibility; it's not your place to overstep that."

"What a coincidence. I didn't come here with those kinds of thoughts," Natsukawa Masuzu sneered, finding a loophole and becoming smug. "I just came to give Akane and the others some celebratory gifts. What, do you want to interfere with my personal thoughts?"

"Do as you please." Kamiya Yu didn't even bother to look at her again, and walked away to avoid having his restless mind disturbed by the girl's delicate fragrance.

He checked the time.

Now that things have come to this, it's impossible to go anywhere else. Although there are no panda dolls here, we can only pick something similar, like panda stickers, which are available.

But instead of buying them, you have to shoot ten balloons with a gun to get the stickers.

However, the spot had already been taken by someone who had arrived earlier and scouted the area beforehand, and was now occupied by Natsukawa Masaki, who had gone there immediately after the cold war between the two sides.

Kamiya Yu hesitated for a moment, about to walk away feeling unlucky, to look for something else like a panda pendant.

But the next second he saw that, because he left with a dark face, the two previously timid punks seemed to be glancing at Natsukawa Masaki again, their wicked intentions resurfacing, as if they were harboring some kind of plan.

Ugh.

"come here."

Kamiya Yu sighed helplessly, walked over quickly, grabbed one person with each hand, and dragged the two punks to a secluded place. A moment later, two cries of agony rang out.

Natsukawa Masaki, who had raised her gun, bit her lower lip.

She wasn't blind; she could sense the malicious gazes of the two punks.

But... why is it that it's Kamiya Yu who's protecting her?

She simply enjoys being in this band with Akane Kurokawa. As for that guy who dislikes her to the extreme, although she initially felt somewhat guilty, after being ignored and ridiculed all day long, her guilt has almost worn away.

But why, if he hates her so much, would he still come to save her?

"Even Shiina Ritsuki would be better than him..." Hato

Muttering unwillingly, Natsukawa Masuzu focused her attention. Given her frail physique, hitting the target in three or four shots would be considered good. Fortunately, for her family, this amount of money was insignificant, and she finally succeeded in winning the prize. 4.

Looking at the two sets of panda stickers and an extra pair of headphones in her hand, Natsukawa Masuzu hesitated for a moment before approaching Kamiya Yu, who was still searching for other panda merchandise, a search destined to fail.

"Don't bother looking, there's nothing left. I've already checked everything." She said nonchalantly, casually placing the stickers and headphones she was holding on the game console in front of Kamiya Yu. ④

She immediately turned her head away, looking as if she were simply observing this somewhat unfamiliar place. (III)

"..."

Kamiya Yu glanced towards the source of the panda stickers; there was no more stock there. (Six)

He paused for a few seconds, picked up the sticker, then took out his wallet, took out 4 yen, and placed it where the sticker had been.

As for the headphones, he didn't even touch them.

Then, without saying goodbye, he left the amusement area alone and went home.

He was actually starting to lose his mind.

Just now, while watching Natsukawa Masaki masturbate, his gaze unconsciously focused on her slightly upturned buttocks. Following the curve of her light blue dress, he couldn't help but fantasize about the soft feel of touching it. However, the uncontrollable thoughts that overflowed because Shoko hadn't been able to fully satisfy him were cut off by him in half a second.

But at this moment, the girl's delicate fragrance emanating from so close at hand, and her swan-like neck, made him even more restless.

But that still doesn't prevent him from making a mistake.

If he were to develop feelings for anyone other than Xiangzi simply because of desires he'd suppressed for half a year, he would look down on himself.

With his strong self-control, Kamiya Yu forced himself not to look back even once, and hurried along.

Meanwhile, Natsukawa Masuzu, who had turned her head away, could only hear the sound of something being taken. Out of Kamiya Yu's sight, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then pursed her lips and said as she turned back, "Don't misunderstand, I just did it for Yukino-san—"

The arrogant voice came to an abrupt end.

Natsukawa Masaki saw the headphones and the thousand yen that were placed in their original spot.

A look of astonishment flickered in his deep blue eyes.

The slight, cheerful smile that had appeared on her lips when she was being arrogant vanished in an instant.

The small foot, encased in a black over-the-knee sock, suddenly kicked the game console where the items were placed.

Never before had her feelings been so complicated. Natsukawa Masuzu felt powerless. At this moment, she couldn't even pretend to be indifferent and deceive herself.

He truly cares about the band and Akane Kurokawa.

But... actually, he does care about Kamiya Yu.

"...After all, it's my own fault."

With a troubled expression, she didn't touch the headphones or the 1,000 yen. Suddenly, Natsukawa Masuzu lost the cheerful smile she had maintained despite being ignored at the amusement park earlier that day.

My body, my senses, suddenly felt so heavy.

A gaze was watching the entire process unfold.

Hidden in the shadows, Yukino Yukinoshita watched as Yuu Kamiya and Masuzu Natsukawa parted ways, and the feeling of being somewhat alienated had long since been healed.

There were only three people in the entire team besides her.

However, even though Kamiya Yu suddenly became absent-minded and distracted in the later stages of the amusement park for some reason, and even Natsukawa Masuzu repeatedly came over to talk to her and try to get closer to her teammates, they still remembered her preferences and came to this place after the team disbanded to prepare panda-themed merchandise for her and Shiina Tatsuki.

But, aside from the faint happiness she felt after being healed, which she herself was unwilling to acknowledge, there was also something else.

Yukino Yukinoshita couldn't help but furrow her brow slightly.

She has to do something.

……

It's already night.

The amusement park where he worked was quite far from his current residence. Xiangzi was hungry and carrying a rather heavy load in his arms, but even so, his posture remained elegant.

Until she saw the taciturn Mu again and again on her way home.

That was once her intimate half.

Considering her current predicament, Xiangzi really wanted to ignore Mu, but in the end she couldn't bring herself to do it. Instead, she asked in a concerned but indifferent tone, "You have a ballet class today, right?"

Mu nodded quietly. That was why she arrived so late today and almost missed Xiang.

Not being good with words, she looked at the whole set of bear plush toys in Xiang's arms. It was obviously bought just the day before and had been worn at most once. It looked very heavy and was too much of a burden for Xiang, who was a little malnourished. She subconsciously wanted to help.
