Being close to the academy, Takahashi Makoto's first thought was that he could sleep in a little longer in the morning, while the self-disciplined Uesugi Maya would go for a run on the academy's track, though there was also a reason for her to deliberately avoid going with Tachimi Yuki.

After washing up, I went to the dining room, where two breakfasts were set on the light wood dining table.

Makoto Takahashi pulled out a chair and sat down, his gaze darting left and right.

On the left is a Japanese breakfast, which could be called "Uesugi Family Breakfast Set Meal": scrambled eggs in broth, miso soup, white rice, cold spinach salad, and grilled salmon.

On the right is a fried egg toast, milk, and a whole washed tomato, from the young lady.

Compared to the choice of breakfast, Makoto Takahashi is more concerned about the relationship between Maya Uesugi and Yuki Tatsumi.

He picked up the milk and drank it all in one gulp, then reached for the egg roll with his chopsticks: "You guys didn't each make your own breakfast, did you?"

"No, speaking of which, Xiaoye seems to be a bit of a tsundere; she left two breakfasts behind when she went out."

Yuki Tachibana sat down next to Makoto Takahashi, propping her cheek up with one hand and staring intently at him with her head tilted to the side: "She wouldn't have done this before."

"So, lunch is the same as before?" Takahashi Makoto asked while eating.

"Yes, let the family kitchen deliver the bento boxes to the student council."

Jianli nodded, swallowed the food in his mouth, and changed the subject, asking:

"Speaking of which, are those people I met during the New Year, Fujiwara and Ichinose, also in Tsurumizawa?"

"Is Cheng-kun interested in them?"

"Aye's matter is related to them, isn't it?"

"Hmm~ Both second and third graders are available, Cheng-kun, which one do you like?"

While Tachibana Yuki smiled seemingly generously, Takahashi Makoto was certain that if he dared to say the girl's name, she would meet a tragic end today.

Now that the young lady has some free time, she has plenty of time to be jealous.

"Forget it, I'll figure out a way to deal with Aya's matter." Takahashi Makoto seemed to be giving up, but in reality, he was using a retreat as a tactic to advance.

Seeing that he didn't seem to have any designs on them, Tachibana Yuki picked up a piece of fried egg toast, smiled, and fed it to Takahashi Makoto.

"At that time, Xiaoye was completely unaware of their malice, so she didn't need to put in any effort."

"Isn't Aya very perceptive?" Takahashi Makoto took a bite of toast.

"That happened later. She also had a period of being innocent and adorable."

"so."

"In sixth grade, Xiaoye and I..."

To avoid drawing his attention to Fujiwara and the others, Tachimi Yuki took the initiative to talk about the past.

After breakfast, Makoto Takahashi went back to his room to change into his school uniform, then went downstairs to go to school with her.

Tachibana Yuki put on a thick winter coat in the entryway, looked up at Takahashi Makoto, and a sense of uncertainty appeared in his eyes.

"I have mixed feelings."

"Feeling conflicted?"

"I guess a lot of girls will try to chat you up, so I'm a little reluctant to let you go out?"

A sudden remark made Makoto Takahashi break out in a cold sweat.

This is no longer just a matter of jealousy; we absolutely cannot let the young lady go to extremes.

He reached out and pulled Tachibana Yuki's soft body into his arms: "Don't worry, I won't give anyone else a chance."

"That would be perfect."

Tachimi buried her face in Takahashi Makoto's chest and rubbed it gently.

After hugging for a full five minutes, the two finally went out together.

Takahashi Makoto held her slender fingers as they walked through the semi-quiet shopping street. As they got closer to the academy gate, many eyes, drawn to them, were drawn to them by people wearing the same uniforms.

Although the two are dating, this is the first time they have walked to school together. Moreover, it is only natural that they would attract attention when they walk hand in hand and lean on each other on the road.

“Many people are watching us.”

As if asserting her dominance, Tachibana leaned closer, casting an angelic smile across the room, and tightened her clasped hands.

"I'll take you to the classroom, so that some people won't have any illusions."

The young lady, who "lost her job," now focuses all her attention on romance.

“Okay.” Takahashi Makoto didn’t dare to refuse and walked into the teaching building with her, bathed in a sea of ​​stares.

Arriving at the classroom door of Class 1-C, Yukio Tachibana reluctantly let go of her hand.

Seeing the lingering reluctance in her deep blue eyes, Makoto Takahashi felt more and more that this couldn't go on. He couldn't let the young lady be too bored; he had to find something for her to do.

He stood in the corridor, pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Xing, does your band with Aye have a name?"

"NoName, why are you suddenly asking this?"

"Didn't we say we'd play in a band during spring break? I think it's okay to start a little earlier, I've already started learning piano."

"We'll talk about the band later."

Tachikami Yuki showed little interest, reached out to straighten his collar, and turned to leave: "I'm going to class too. See you at noon, Makoto-kun."

"Okay." Takahashi Makoto watched her figure disappear around the corner of the stairs before stepping into the classroom.

On the first day of school, the classroom was as noisy as expected, with the girls unable to calm down and chatting together.

Hina Nekoya was sitting on her desk, chatting animatedly with two girls, when she noticed Makoto Takahashi enter the classroom. She immediately jumped off her desk.

"Good morning, Acheng."

Nekoya Hina walked over with her usual cheerful smile. Takahashi Makoto pulled out a chair, sat down in his seat, and responded in a gentle voice:

Good morning. How's everything going with the national team?

“It went very smoothly. Let me tell you, Acheng, the coach has high hopes for me.”

Hina Nekoya casually leaned her hips against the edge of his desk and said smugly, "And what's more, some companies have offered sponsorship. It's a pity there aren't any competitions lately, otherwise I would definitely be able to advance to Group B very quickly."

"I hope everything goes smoothly." Takahashi Makoto reached into the desk drawer, but it was empty.

Having forgotten his book, he turned his gaze to Hanakawa Kaori, who was catching up on sleep at her desk.

As if realizing something, Nekoya Hina got up and walked over, casually taking a light novel out of her desk drawer and placing it on Takahashi Makoto's desk.

"Living together, it's only natural to do that kind of thing with ■■, right?", Volume 2.

Makoto Takahashi looked at the girl wearing only a blue hoodie on the book cover, hesitated briefly, and then turned to the first page.

"Has the training schedule been arranged?" he asked casually.

“I went to the office this morning and explained the situation to Supervisor Chihaya. They allowed me to leave the school during my lunch break, so it won’t affect my attendance.”

Nekoya Hina, with a positive attitude, puffed out her flat chest and smiled brightly, saying, "Although this means I can't have lunch with you, Makoto shouldn't have to worry about that now, right? Besides, Hanaori is here too."

"Don't worry about me, just keep up the good work."

Makoto Takahashi glanced at the words on the page, but ultimately couldn't bring himself to read 18R in the classroom. He closed the book and stood up: "I'm going to the Light Music Club."

"Is the morning meeting about to start?"

He heard Nekoya Hina's voice behind him, and remembering that all the books from the Light Music Club had been moved to a new house, Takahashi Makoto changed his mind and said, "Then I'll go to Group A."

As they walked out of the classroom and down the corridor to the classroom of Class 1-A at the end, they saw him standing in front of the classroom and immediately a girl went to call out to Uesugi Maya.

"What is it?" Uesugi Maya walked out of the classroom, arms crossed, and asked indifferently.

"I forgot to bring my books, this is all I found."

Makoto Takahashi shrugged and handed her the light novel he was holding. Maya Uesugi took the book, turned around and went back to the classroom, where she took out "Crime and Punishment" from her desk and exchanged it with him.

It was called an "exchange" because Maya Uesugi didn't get the light novel back.

“I’ve heard you talk about this book before.” Makoto Takahashi took the thick, hardcover book.

"Listening to me and seeing it for yourself are two different things."

"Okay, where's my light novel?" He looked up at Uesugi Maya.

"I'll return it to you after I've finished reading it."

Upon hearing this, Makoto Takahashi's expression stiffened slightly: "That's Hanaori's book, not mine."

“I’ll return it to you after I finish reading it. Besides, I’ve seen this book at your house before, and I’d like to use this opportunity to learn more about you.”

Upon hearing Uesugi Maya's words, his expression became even more subtle.

Just as he was racking his brains trying to figure out how to get that little sister-themed book back so that Uesugi Maya wouldn't misunderstand that he had some strange tendencies, a girl suddenly appeared beside him, interrupting their conversation.

"Takahashi-kun, I'm sorry to bother you so suddenly."

Makoto Takahashi and Maya Uesugi simultaneously turned to look at him. Ai Fujiwara, whom he had mentioned to Yuki Tatsumi that morning, was now speaking to him with a determined air:

"Could we have a little time to talk?"

Chapter 200 A Clichéd Story and Partners of Justice

"No."

Maya Uesugi answered Ai Fujiwara's question in place of Makoto Takahashi.

On a winter morning, the walls of the corridor exuded a slight chill.

Maya Uesugi crossed her arms and stood in front of Makoto Takahashi, her caramel-colored eyes coldly staring at Ai Fujiwara, her long black hair swaying slightly with her imposing presence: "His time is precious."

Is that so? Makoto Takahashi asked himself.

In theory, time is precious for anyone—whether they are a world-renowned painter, the boyfriend of a tycoon's daughter, or the bassist of a famous band.

However, he still had the leisure to read light novels in the academy classroom, so he wasn't so short of time that he couldn't even spare a few words to say.

Hakiya was clearly possessive of her food, and considering that she would definitely start breathing on it without warning, Makoto Takahashi decided to keep quiet.

"Go find Ritsuken if you need anything." Uesugi Maya's tone sounded very impatient.

"It's not that kind of thing. Well, Kashima told me I could come and see Takahashi-kun."

Seeing her unhappy expression, Fujiwara Ai waved her hands, took a breath, and explained, "It's about love."
