Those gold and blue eyes were like a pair of cat's eyes of the highest quality, without a speck of dust, reflecting his figure clearly.

46. ​​Second Session Minutes (Two-in-One)

——【If you find that the relationship between someone you like very much and another friend with whom you have a good relationship seems to be a little close, what will you do?】

After posting on the message board of a certain emotional forum, Shiina Riki put away his phone and sat in his seat in a daze.

She felt more and more that something was wrong.

Ever since she saw Hachiman Kailing go out with Naruse Ritsu alone that day, she couldn't help but suspect that the relationship between the two was not as simple as it seemed.

Asking specifically on the chat software inevitably made her seem a little deliberate. When Shiina Riki finally had the opportunity to ask at school, Yawata Kailing avoided the question in different ways every time.

Either he was changing the subject and answering her question with another one, or someone just happened to come to see her, like an unnamed idol at school.

It would take a while to get the truth from the person involved, and Shiina Riki didn't want to go and confront Naruse Riku face to face, so he could only look for some references on the Internet.

Lying on the table to catch up on her sleep, she suddenly felt the phone in her pocket vibrate.

He quickly opened the screen and saw the little red dot appear in the forum message list, and Shiina Riki's face lit up with joy.

She clicked on the post and was about to see what netizens had to say, but after seeing the first and only message, she froze in her seat.

The reply was concise and to the point, like a poisoned dagger piercing Shiina Riki's heart.

——【I will ask around like you】

Such a short reply gave her the urge to crawl into the screen and grab the bastard on the other side through the Internet and beat him up.

Clutching his phone tightly, his breathing suddenly became heavier, and his face flushed slightly, Shiina Riki immediately blacklisted the forum recommended by Chihaya Aine.

At the back of the classroom, Sanjiao Chuhua was also playing with his mobile phone while sitting in his seat.

Entering the emotional forum recommended by Juntian Mana, which is said to be very popular now, she soon found a post that caught her attention.

"People I like and friends..."

After whispering the title that had a sense of déjà vu, Sanjiao Chuhua subconsciously clicked on the post.

Then, she saw the reply that also left her speechless.

I really wanted to pretend to be nonchalant and exit the page, but in the end I could only frown and put on an ugly face with a forced smile.

Not noticing the strangeness of Sankaku Hatsuka behind her, Hachiman Kailing held the hairpin that she had taken apart and put back together, silently wondering why Naruse Ritsu had stuffed a locator in it.

She knew it, but she had never used it herself—nor had she ever even seen it before.

When faced with unfamiliar things, just take a picture with your mobile phone and use the photo search function to easily find things similar to this sophisticated electronic device.

I thought this kind of thing could only be seen in rumors and exaggerated movies and comics, but now it's actually happening to me...

Hachiman Kairin doesn't think that Naruse Ritsu is the kind of person with a pathological desire to control, otherwise she wouldn't handle the relationship between her and him in such a casual manner.

Therefore, she was even more confused about Ritsu Narose's behavior.

Do you want to ask him?

Thinking about this, Hachiman Kailing stretched and looked up at the ceiling of the classroom.

The person sitting in front of her was not currently seated, so she noticed that Shiina Riki was tapping his phone screen with an angrily look on his face.

Who is she fighting against?

After briefly thinking about this meaningless question, Hachiman Kailing quickly focused her attention on a certain decoration on Shiina Riki's mobile phone.

Looking down at the hairpin in her hand, and comparing it with the style of the pendant, Hachiman Kailing's expression gradually became subtle...

……

A few hours later, after school, Shiina Riki sat on a chair in the cafe, looking at Chihaya Aine with a displeased look.

She was clearly upset about being made a clown on the forum.

Looking around, she saw Takamatsu Deng writing and drawing on his notebook, Naruse Ritsu was typing on his laptop, Nagasaki Suyo and Kaname Rakuna, who was sitting next to Naruse Ritsu, were staring at each other, as if they were engaged in an invisible karate battle.

Having gotten used to this atmosphere that didn't resemble a band at all, Shiina Riki, who had finished his part-time job early today, tapped the table and asked Chihaya Aine, "So, what exactly is this important matter you're talking about?"

"Of course it's a name!" Chihaya Aine said emotionally, putting her hands on the table with a look of deep sorrow, "We still don't have a name!"

"...Is that all?" Shiina Riki curled his lips.

"Lixi's attitude is terrible!"

Seeing that she wasn't giving her any respect, Chihaya Aine immediately tried to win over Naruse Ritsu: "Naruse-kun feels the same way, right? Didn't you say that even the hunter teams and hunting groups have names? We really should have a catchy name too, right?"

"To be frank, that's true." Ritsu Narushe, who was browsing plastic figurines for housewarming items on a shopping website, replied casually, "As for the name... how about [Moon Wolf]?"

"What is this?" Chihaya Aine looked confused.

"I think it's good. At least it sounds pretty cool." With a mischievous smile, Shiina Ritsuki chose to agree with Naruse Ritsu's nonsense in the surprised look of Chihaya Aine.

"Isn't that too casual!?"

"That's better than your naming skills."

I still remember the first band meeting when the band was first founded two months ago. Shiina Riki still can't forget Chihaya Aine's naming style that is hard to describe.

"I've been thinking seriously about the name!"

"Really? So you're using the time you spent practicing guitar on this?"

Chihaya Aine finally shut up.

Caught in a difficult situation, she could only obediently place the list of band names she had written down in the middle of the table.

He picked it up first, and Shiina Tachibana had the urge to cover his eyes just by seeing the first line.

"Watermelon Worm...Band?" The corners of her eyes began to twitch, and she read out the words written on it with difficulty.

"[Watermelon Bugs]—A tribute to the legendary group [The Beatles]! Am I a genius?"

"I remember 'The Beatles' is a combination of the words 'beat' and 'beetle,'" Ritsu Narose, who had been listening, suddenly said, accompanied by the sound of a mouse clicking. "It's completely different from what Aine imagined, right?"

"Is that so?" Blinking, Chihaya Aine's gaze began to wander. "Because... this is the inspiration I found in Deng Deng's notebook, so it's normal for it to be a little different, right? Right, right?"

Noticing that she winked at him, Ritsu Narose had to remain silent to save some face for this girl who had studied in the UK.

"Choosing a nice name is really troublesome and tiring..."

"That's right!"

Although I don't know why Nagasaki Suyo suddenly stood on my side, it doesn't matter.

Just as she was about to emphasize the hard work she put into coming up with the name, Chihaya Aine saw Nagasaki Moyo pick up her tea and sighed slowly, "Maybe Aine's neck is just like her brain, tired every day."

"……Why?"

"Because it probably thinks the thing it's carrying is really stupid."

"?"

Almost choking, Chihaya Aine glared at Nagasaki Suyo. Seeing that she showed no sign of paying any attention to her, Chihaya Aine turned to Naruse Ritsu and called for support.

"Aine, just do what you want."

Hearing this, Chihaya Aine's mouth curled up slightly: "Yeah, that's what I said..."

"Just pretend and then do nothing—just like usual."

"I'm angry! I'm really angry!"

Leaving her seat, Chihaya Aion walked angrily behind Naruse Ritsu. Just as she was about to strike him in the back of the neck with her ruthless iron hand, she was drawn to the intricate and aesthetically pleasing drawings on the screen.

"what is this?"

"Interior design floor plan." Ritsu Narose said calmly as he saved it.

"I see," Chihaya Aine murmured, nodding slightly, "I don't understand it at all."

"In short, first use the walls to create the actual room layout, then design the doors and windows, and then design the interior layout..." Naruse Ritsu demonstrated as he explained, "This way, this way, and this way—and finally, you have a room. Then, connect it with the other rooms, and the design of a complete house is complete."

"How amazing..." Looking at the design drawing that was made from scratch in front of her, Chihaya Aine suddenly thought of something.

Covering her mouth with her hands, she asked in horror, "Are you moving!?"

"I never said that."

"That's good……"

Her mood fluctuated greatly, and Chihaya Aine felt relieved when she learned that she still had the geographical advantage after Nagasaki Suyo retreated to the port area.

——"This is the house I plan to build in the future. It's still in the design stage."

"Oh, so that's how it is...ah?"

With her hands on Naruse Ritsu's shoulders, Chihaya Aine concentrated on looking at the drawings on the screen.

After looking for a long time, she suddenly asked jokingly, "Is there a room for me?"

"Of course."

"This, this is it..."

Leaving Naruse Ritsu, Chihaya Aine combed the pink hair that fell beside her cheeks and used it to cover her slightly hot cheeks.

Kaname Rana, who had been sitting obediently next to Ritsu Narose, suddenly leaned over, slipped under Ritsu Narose's arm, and came to the front of the screen, looking at the drawing that she could not understand at all.

Nagasaki Suyo, who was calm at first, was also inexplicably shocked at this time. She quietly put down the teacup and walked behind Naruse Ritsu as if nothing had happened, as if waiting for Naruse Ritsu to tell her where the other room that belonged to her was.

Realizing that only he and Takamatsu Deng remained rational, Shiina Riki couldn't help but sigh and hold his forehead.

Regarding the design of this mansion, Ritsu Narose's original idea has been changed beyond recognition.

Now, the number of bedrooms is heading towards double digits, and there are six bathrooms, a home theater, a game room, a full recording studio large enough for a band to practice in, and outdoor pools, gardens, garages, and other areas around the house.

Among the six bathrooms, in addition to the four normal-sized single bathrooms, there is also a bath with three types of hot and cold water and steam baths, decorated with murals and statues, full of ancient Roman style, and a medicinal bath for body conditioning.

"You actually designed something like this... You're not thinking of anything weird, are you?"

Faced with Shiina Riki's questioning, Naruse Ritsu fell silent.

"That's terrible."

"Ahem—the large imperial baths of ancient Rome also included libraries, lecture halls, and shops. They weren't just for bathing." To prove she wasn't obsessed with mixed bathing, Naruse Ritsu solemnly explained, "Besides, this is a reproduction of ancient Roman structural technology and can be considered a 'precursor to Classical architecture.'"

"After all, you designed it this way because you wanted to take a bath with someone of the opposite sex, right?"

"...Are you going to let me hang out with people of the same sex?"

"I didn't say that!"

Caught off guard by Ritsu Narose's self-destruction tactic, Shiina Riki looked embarrassed and glared at Ritsu Narose fiercely in front of everyone's gazes.

Noticing that one of the floor plans in the list preview looked a little different, Takamatsu asked curiously, "Can I see this one?"

"Sure, let me take a look... "

As he spoke, Ritsu Narose opened the design drawing that Takamatsu Deng had mentioned, but he himself didn't have much impression of it.

Then he fell silent.

In this floor plan, apart from cabinets and other items, there is only a bed in the room that is so large that it almost takes up the entire room.

"poor!"

"greedy……"

"..."

While he was still trying to recall when he saved this floor plan with no sense of design, Ritsu Narose felt his back stabbed by three gazes at the same time.

As part of the exercise, Ritsu Narose quickly checked the source of the drawing.

He soon discovered that the design was not his own creation—it was a reference drawing sent by his good sister after he solicited opinions on the draft.

"Ha! I told you, there's no way I could have designed this!"

His face lit up with joy, and when he was about to explain, he noticed that their looks became strange again.

"Then why do you still keep this thing?" Shiina Riki narrowed his eyes, like a detective looking for clues in a criminal.

Unwilling to be blamed, Narose Rinpoche said, "Do you believe me when I say it's for reference?"

"Refer to this..."

Chihaya Aine's mouth twitched, and she quickly remembered what had happened between her, Takamatsu Deng, and Naruse Ritsu in the same bed.
