Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

Chitanda Mirai shook her head and said:

"nothing."

"I was just talking to Kirisa about some things related to the Literature Club."

Mizuno Maki assumed she was really referring to the Literature Club, so she didn't pay much attention.

Although she didn't know, Shiro Shiro was very clear about what Chitanda Mirai was looking for Hojo Kirisa to do.

It's definitely because I am the one who is right, without a doubt.

But now there's Mizuno Maki here, and there are other students in the class too.

If they hear about this and spread it around, it won't be good.

Chitanda Mirai, Hojo Kirisa, and himself were all relatively well-known figures at school.

If word got out about their love triangle, it wouldn't be very glamorous.

There will inevitably be rumors and gossip at that time.

To avoid this, Shiro Shiro felt it was best to wait until she was alone with Mirai before asking her what she and Hojo Kirisa had talked about.

Let's forget about it for now.

Chitanda Mirai knew there were many people in the class, so she didn't mention her relationship with Shirokaze.

Even though she really wanted to complain to Bai Feng about Wu Sha right now.

But she couldn't say anything, and could only look at Bai Feng with a somewhat helpless and aggrieved expression.

Shiro Shiro also understood what Chitanda Mirai was trying to say, and shook his head helplessly.

Although neither of them said anything, it was as if they had said everything.

Junko Urahara, who was still carefree and eating snacks, had actually been paying attention to the flirting between the two.

Despite noticing it, she didn't actually understand what kind of code the two were exchanging.

Maki Mizuno also noticed this scene.

She was also somewhat confused.

I had a feeling that the two of them were communicating about something.

And this wasn't the only time.

In recent days, she had occasionally noticed the two exchanging glances behind her back.

At first, she didn't pay much attention to it.

But after seeing so much of it, it's hard not to feel a little jealous.

She couldn't help but ask:

"Bai Feng, Wei Lai, there's something strange about your expressions. Has something happened?"

Chitanda Mirai paused, not expecting Maki to notice, and quickly shook her head, saying:

"it's okay no problem."

Kamishiro Bai Feng coughed and said:

"Nothing, don't worry about it."

Upon hearing this, Mizuno Maki became even more confused, feeling that the two of them must be hiding something from her.

Otherwise, how could things have been like this for the past few days?

But neither of them wanted to say, and she really had no way of knowing what they were doing.

Chitanda Mirai planned to tell Mizuno Maki and everyone in the literature club at noon, so that they would all know about her relationship with Shirafune.

She could also tell that Mizuno Maki was suspicious of something.

However, it's not a good idea to tell Mizuno Maki in class now.

It's not appropriate to say it openly in class right now.

If Mizuno Maki knew that something unusual had happened afterward, it would be quite noticeable in the class.

Chitanda Mirai sighed softly.

She didn't want that to happen either.

At least not now.

Chitanda changed the subject later, asking Mizuno Maki:

"By the way, Maki-chan, weren't you and Shoko supposed to participate in the shopping street event?"

"How many stamps have you collected by now?"

Maki Mizuno blinked and recalled:

"I've collected two or three already."

"what happened?"

Chitanda Mirai smiled and said:

"It's nothing, I just wanted to collect stamps for fun, so I was thinking if we have time, we can go to other stores to collect stamps together."

Upon hearing that they were going to visit shops and collect stamps, Junko Urahara nodded excitedly and said:

"Junko, I want to go too!"

A hint of joy flashed across Mizuno Maki's cool face as she nodded softly:

"Okay, let's go together."

Shiro listened silently to the three of them talking, but he was actually worried about what happened at noon, rather than what they were discussing.

Because at noon, he was going to tell Rika Maejima and the others that he already had a girlfriend.

The other members of the Literature Department were unaffected.

They probably wouldn't care much.

Erina and Shoko are another story, as they both know about their relationship with Chitanda Mirai.

Hina-senpai already has a boy she likes, so there's nothing to worry about.

The only thing to worry about is the pear blossoms.

This girl knows she'll be dating Chitanda in the future, but she doesn't know what will happen.

Thinking that Rika would most likely be very sad at that time, Shiro Shiro couldn't help but sigh deeply.

But at this time.

He suddenly recalled the question he had asked Maejima Rika before.

She said at that time that even if she started dating other girls, she would not give up.

This statement

It's probably just talk, right?

Recalling Rika Maejima's personality and combining it with what she had just said, Shirakaze Kamishiro fell into an even deeper silence.

-

noon.

Literary Department.

All the members gathered here.

As always, Maejima Rika sat happily opposite Shirakaze, chatting and laughing while eating her bento.

Watanabe Hina sat next to her, still with her usual intellectual and elegant demeanor, quietly eating her bento.

Maki Mizuno was the same, quietly eating her lunch.

However, apart from the three of them.

The other two, Shiina Shoko and Kamishiro Erina, both had strange expressions as they turned to look at Shirafumi and Chitanda Mirai.

I don't know when they plan to say it.

But since we're not talking about it now, shouldn't we talk about it after lunch?

But then she thought about how Bai Feng was about to say it.

Shiina Shoko and Kamishiro Erina looked at Maejima Rika and Watanabe Hina with some concern, worried that the two of them would be very sad later.

Meanwhile, Shiro Kaede and Chitanda Mirai were also experiencing very complicated feelings, and they ate their lunch in silence.

Their thoughts also began to make the atmosphere in the department room strange.

As Hina Watanabe, Rika Maejima, and Maki Mizuno ate their bento boxes, they seemed to sense that the atmosphere in the Literature Club had become somewhat strange.

But for a moment, the three of them felt something was off and could only turn to look at the others.

When they noticed the flickering gazes of Erina and Shoko, as well as the utterly silent Shirakaze and Mirai, they became even more certain that something was about to happen.

at this time.

The most composed person present was Junko Urahara.

She continued to carefree and boast about the bento box in front of her, completely unaware that the atmosphere in the literature club had changed somewhat.

Not a moment.

After everyone present had eaten and drunk their fill...

Shiro Kaede looked at Rika, then turned to look at the other members of the Literature Club.

He took a deep breath, stood up, and pondered for a moment:

"Everyone, there's something I want to tell you."

"What I'm about to say, I hope you won't tell anyone else."

Rika Maejima, who was teasing Shoko Shiina, paused, turned to look at Shirafumi, and asked with a smile:

"Don't worry, Bai Feng, since you've said so, I definitely won't tell anyone!"
