Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

After all, this was one of their few secrets.

But now it seems there's no way to hide it anymore.

Mizuno Maki greeted Tachikawa Sanae with some complicated feelings:

"It's been a long time, Tachikawa-san."

"I didn't expect to see you here."

I heard that Mizuno Maki also knows Tachikawa Sanae?

Everyone present was confused.

Since Tachikawa Sanae was Shiro Kaede's junior high school classmate, does that mean Mizuno Maki was also his junior high school classmate?

But they've been together for so long, and I've never heard either of them mention this!

Watanabe Hina asked Kamishiro Hakuedu doubtfully:

"Kamishiro-kun, were you and Mizuno Maki classmates in junior high school?"

Shirofumi didn't hide anything and nodded, saying:

"Yes."

"Mizuno-san and Tachikawa-san were both my junior high school classmates."

After hearing what he said.

Everyone present was incredibly surprised.

But Chitanda Mirai wasn't particularly surprised.

She had looked up information on both Shirakaze Kamishiro and Maki Mizuno.

I've known for a long time that the two of them were junior high school classmates.

But all she knew was the information on paper.

As for their relationship at school, she wasn't quite sure.

After all, the focus is on Shiro Kaede.

Maki Mizuno only did a little research.

But I suppose it doesn't really matter.

Because apart from Mizuno Maki and Kamishiro Hakukaze, who were junior high school classmates, there was no one else at the private Shujin School.

Many of the other students were classmates in junior high school and came from other places to study here.

Therefore, running into junior high school classmates is a very common occurrence.

Yui Nagasawa, unaware of their relationship, looked surprised and said:

"Kamishiro-kun, so you and Mizuno Maki were junior high school classmates."

"How come I've never heard either of you mention this before?"

Mizuno Maki looked at Kamishiro Shirokaze with a stiff expression, hesitant to speak, unsure of what to say.

Kamishiro Shirofumi, on the other hand, was more direct, simply smiling and saying:

"You didn't ask."

"I'll tell you why I came."

His words left everyone present speechless.

Yui Nagasawa even directly retorted:

"If you won't tell us, how are we supposed to ask?"

Shiro Shiro didn't pay much attention to this topic; instead, she was curious about why Tachikawa Sanae was there and asked:

"By the way, Tachikawa-san, what brings you here?"

Sanae Tachikawa pointed to her parents not far away and said:

“I have a relative who is competing on stage, so I came to watch the performance with my parents.”

Kamidai Bai Feng suddenly realized:

"Oh, I see."

Tachikawa Sanae asked curiously:

"So, Kamishiro-kun, you've come here not just for that reason, but also because of something else?"

"Yes, that's probably what you think." Shiro Shiro nodded, then introduced Watanabe Hina and the members of the Literature Club: "This is my senior from the Literature Club, she will also be performing on stage today."

"And those living nearby are also members of the Literature Department."

"Everyone came here to see Watanabe-senpai's performance."

Chitanda Mirai and the others then introduced themselves.

Sanae Tachikawa did know about their situation.

Chitanda Mirai, who looks very sickly, is the head of the Literature Club.

This fierce-looking Junko Urahara is a member of the Literature Club. But doesn't she seem a little scary? Just looking at her makes you feel a chill down your spine, as if you're about to encounter some ferocious beast.

Furthermore, this woman wearing sunglasses, Nagasawa Yui, although not a member of the Literature Club, was formerly the student council president of the private Shujin Academy, making her a senior to Kamishiro-kun. However, she felt like she had heard the name Nagasawa Yui somewhere before.

And then there's Watanabe Hina, dressed in a formal gown; she's also a member of the Literature Club, and she's here today to participate in the competition.

Finally, Sanae Tachikawa frowned as she looked at Maki Mizuno:

"So, Mizuno-san is also a member of the Literature Club?"

Maki Mizuno nodded silently.

Sanae Tachikawa knew today wasn't a good occasion, so she didn't say anything explicitly. She simply smiled and said goodbye, revealing her dimples.

"So, it seems this will be considered a departmental activity for the Literature Club?"

"Sanae, it's about time I headed back too, so I won't bother you any longer."

"Goodbye, Kamishiro-kun and Mizuno-san. We'll meet again someday."

After listening to their farewells, Sanae Tachikawa returned to her seat.

Even after returning, his gaze would occasionally drift towards the direction of Shiro Kaede.

Whenever she looked at him, she couldn't help but gently stroke the blue glass bead necklace around her neck, thinking happily about certain things.

Just as the divination had predicted.

Even if she didn't specifically seek out Kamishiro-kun, he would still appear before her.

This must be fate!

As for Mizuno Maki, she initially wanted to talk to her directly about Kamishiro-kun.

But after thinking about it, I realized there's no need for it now.

Anyway, Mizuno Maki has already rejected Kamishiro-kun once.

I suppose she doesn't like him either.

And even if Mizuno Maki is really stringing Kamishiro along.

One day, Kamishiro-kun will come to his senses and completely give up on Mizuno Maki.

Even if you do nothing, the outcome will be the same.

However, to prevent Kamishiro from getting too deeply involved, we'll just ask him directly next time we meet him if he still likes Mizuno Maki.

-

Seeing that Sanae Tachikawa left so decisively, Maki Mizuno breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought to himself that this girl really didn't know about his relationship with Kamishiro-kun.

That would be perfect.

But compared to this...

Maki Mizuno was worried about something else.

Because Kamishiro-kun and Tachikawa Sanae's experiences are actually very similar.

The two used to have very similar personalities; they were both quiet and reserved, preferring to stay alone in class.

Then he debuted in high school.

It can be said that both of them are the type who become more and more attractive as they get older.

From this perspective, the two people's experiences were basically the same.

What she was worried about was whether Shinji would have any thoughts about Tachikawa Sanae since he had met her today.

After all, they are just too similar.

If you spend time together, you'll definitely have a lot in common, and if things go smoothly, it's quite possible that you'll become boyfriend and girlfriend.

Mizuno Maki felt a pang of anxiety at the thought and gently bit her red lips.

She figured that since Tachikawa Sanae had become so beautiful, she must already have a boyfriend.

Moreover, this girl is a student at St. Sakura Girls' Academy, not at their school at all.

Therefore, Tachikawa Sanae definitely wouldn't have any other unnecessary connections with Kamishiro-kun.

I didn't even see this girl ask for Kamishiro-kun's contact information just now, so I guess she doesn't have Kamishiro-kun's LINE either, just like me.

Then it seems I have nothing to worry about.

It's likely that Kamishiro-kun and Tachikawa Sanae will never see each other again.

Right, that is it

Chitanda Mirai didn't have any particular feelings for Tachikawa Sanae; she just thought it was normal to go up and exchange a few pleasantries with a junior high school classmate she bumped into on the street.

More than that, she was curious about what Shiro Kaede's middle school life was like.

"Speaking of which, I've never heard you talk about your middle school days before, Kamishiro-kun."
