Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

Rika Maejima and her two other best friends were also inexplicably moved, and the three of them hugged Shoko to comfort her.

After witnessing this, Shiro Kaede couldn't help but sigh at how good their relationship was!

But at this time.

Just as the four of them were hugging each other.

The two best friends, of course, knew that Pear Blossom Sauce liked Bai Feng, and they quickly whispered to Xiangzi:

"Xiangzi, shall we come to your house for dinner too?"

"Yes, yes, Rika likes Kamishiro-kun, and now that we have this opportunity to be together, we have to cherish it!"

Rika Maejima also winked at Shoko Shiina, indicating:

"Xiangzi, I'm begging you!"

However, when Shiina Shoko heard that Maejima Rika also liked Hakukaze, it was like a bolt from the blue, leaving her stunned and rooted to the spot for a long time.

what?

Pear Blossom Sauce actually likes Bai Feng too?

When did this happen?

Shiina Shoko stared at Rika in utter shock, and asked tremblingly:

"When did you start liking Kamishiro-kun, Rinka-chan?"

Maeshima Rika said in confusion:

"Hey, Xiangzi, didn't you know?"

"I confessed to Kamishiro-kun on the second day of school."

The two best friends suddenly realized:

"By the way, Xiangzi hadn't come to school yet at that time, so he probably didn't know."

"It really is"

Shiina Shoko was completely dazed, feeling her head spinning.

what?

Pear Blossom confessed to Kamishiro-kun the very next day?

So the guy Rika said she liked at the dinner table last time was actually Kamishiro-kun!

Doesn't that mean she was kept in the dark all this time?

She had even intended to express her support for Rika's relationship.

The result was that he supported his rival in love.

o (╥﹏╥) o

Waaaaah~ How could this happen?

Wait, since Rika-chan confessed to Shiro Kaede, why aren't they dating yet?

Besides, isn't Shiro Shiro currently single?

If that's the case, doesn't that mean he rejected the pear blossom sauce?

Thinking of this, Shiina Shoko's face lit up with joy, but she quickly became sad and distressed again.

She never expected that she would be the same person as Rika Maejima who liked the same boy.

You should know that Pear Blossom is her very good friend.

We just said we'd be friends for life.

Now, however, the two are rivals for each other's affections.

What should we do now?

What if I start dating Shiro Kaede?

Will I still be good friends with Pear Blossom then?

Seeing Rika Maejima's expectant look, Shiina Shoko found it hard to refuse and could only soften her heart and stammer in agreement:

"Okay."

Rika Maejima was overjoyed and smiled at Shirakaze Kamishiro:

"Kamishiro-kun, Shoko said we can come along too!"

The two best friends were also very excited.

"Yes, let's go together!"

"To be honest, we were all really hungry!"

Although the two of them had complained about Shiro Kaede in front of Ichiran Ramen before, it doesn't mean they disliked him.

It's really great that the two of them have the opportunity to have a meal with him now!

After all, this is an opportunity that many girls envy!

Since Xiangzi had agreed, there was no problem, and he nodded, saying:

"Well, let's go together."

Rika Maejima asked curiously:

"By the way, why are you carrying so many PS5s and Switches, Kamishiro-kun?"

Shiro Kaede briefly explained that he got it from a gacha machine.

Rika Maejima and her two other best friends exclaimed:

"Amazing!" X3

Watching them all having so much fun, Shiina Shoko's eyes welled up with tears, her expression somewhat forlorn, and she felt an indescribable sadness in her heart.

She really likes pear blossoms, and she also really likes Kamishiro-kun.

But they're all good friends, so why do they all like the same guy?

Shiina Shoko lowered her head dejectedly, her hands tightly gripping the hem of her clothes.

Is it really a good thing for Rika that she also likes Kamishiro-kun?

Family.

Shiina Shoko led them through the door.

"Mom, I'm back."

Shiina Arisa appeared before them with delight.

He had originally planned to welcome Shirafumi Kamishiro and his silly daughter with a smile.

But when she saw that Rika Maejima and her two other classmates had also arrived, Arisa Shiina looked on in astonishment.

Although she didn't know what was going on, she could guess that her silly daughter had done something foolish again!

Shiina Arisa's lips twitched as she looked at Shiina Shoko, forcing a smile:

"Welcome back."

"Xiangzi!"

Shiina Shoko's face flushed slightly, realizing that she had made another mistake.

If I had followed my mother's advice, this situation wouldn't have happened.

She replied somewhat shyly:

"Mom, Xiangzi is back."

Shiina Arisa gritted her teeth and laughed:

"Ara, Ara~"

"Xiangzi brought so many friends today!"

"Kamishiro-kun, Rika-chan, and the other two cuties would be great too."

"It feels like it's been quite a few days since you last came."

Kamishiro Shirofumi politely said:

"excuse me."

Rika Maejima and her two best friends also smiled politely:

"Good afternoon, Arisa-neechan. We apologize for bothering you." X3

Shiina Arisa sighed helplessly and smiled as she invited:

"Everyone, please come in first."

After they changed their shoes and came in...

Shiro Shiro noticed that Shiina Shoko's father, Shiina Hirosuke, was not there.

It seems they haven't gotten back together yet.

at this time.

Shiina Arisa said to them:

"The soup will be ready in a bit."

"Please have a seat."

After Bai Feng and the others replied, they sat on the sofa and chatted.

Shiina Arisa, with veins bulging on her forehead, smiled and said to her daughter:

"Xiangzi, I think I forgot something in your room. Come up with me and get it."

"Huh?" Shiina Shoko was startled by her mother's sudden call, but knowing she couldn't avoid it, she could only reply tremblingly, "Okay, Shoko's coming right now."
