Mygo, are you all yanderes?

"..."

"Bye."

"...Oh no, what should I do?"

........................

"I'm still feeling so listless today."

Hachiman Kairin placed a jar of coffee jelly on Shiina Tatsuki's head, who was slumped over the table, and looked at her with a puzzled expression.

She was certain that her senses were correct; Shiina Riki was even more listless than usual today, but her physical condition didn't seem particularly tired.

"……Um."

Shiina Tatsuki buried his head on the table and mumbled a reply.

"Something is definitely not right."

Hachiman Kairin raised an eyebrow. The other party's reaction was really strange. Although Shiina Tatsuki wasn't always able to catch her drink attack in mid-air, he would definitely take it off if it was placed on her head.

It's really unusual that he won't even do such a simple action now.

"Are you alright... hmm?"

Hachiman Kairin bent down and moved closer to her, just about to show her some concern, when she smelled a strange odor.

She sniffed the scent, and her expression changed from doubt to acceptance.

No wonder Shiina Riki looked so listless; it turns out it's because of this time of year.

A slight smile appeared on Hachiman Kairin's lips, and her eyes became mischievous.

"Am I that charming that I could make you do something like this?"

"It's not because of you! Seriously, do you have a dog's nose?! I washed it for ages!"

Shiina Riki raised her head in shame and anger, glaring at the unreliable bassist in front of her.

"Oops, that was close!"

When Hatsuhachiman Kairin saw her get up, she quickly caught the coffee jelly that fell because Shiina Ritsuki got up.

Facing Shiina Ritsuki's angry gaze, she nonchalantly tossed her hair and revealed a mischievous smile.

See if you can change it back for me.

"So it wasn't because of me after all. That really hurts my feelings."

Hachiman Kairin casually joked, pressing her strong fingers against the lid of the coffee jelly with a little force, and the semi-transparent lid was removed.

She casually placed the spoon and jelly on Shiina Tatsuki's table and said this.

"If it wasn't me, then could it be that guy in your band who's about to become a scumbag?"

"..."

Shiina Riki, unusually, did not refute her, but instead guiltily looked away.

"……Um?"

Hachiman Kairin looked at the girl's unusual reaction with considerable surprise, realizing that her casual joke had inadvertently touched a nerve.

"Lixi, you wouldn't..."

"...I didn't hear what you just said clearly."

"understood."

Hachiman Kairin took out a brand new box of drinks from her pocket and placed it on Shiina Tatsuki's desk.

"Here you are, a congratulatory gift."

"Huh?! What are you doing?!"

Shiina Riki blushed, glaring at the person who was mocking her with their actions. Angrily, she grabbed a jelly from the table and stuffed it into her mouth as if to vent her frustration.

"Ugh...it's so bitter..."

"Hachiman Kairei's favorite, specially made sugar-free version."

"You guy...!"

"So, you were conquered after just one day?"

"..."

Hearing Hachiman Kairin's suddenly serious tone, Shiina Tatsuki paused for a moment while eating.

"...Not really, it's just that we've opened up about it."

"But you've been treating him like a side dish."

"...I don't understand!"

"Lixi, I've been quite busy lately."

"Huh? Why are you suddenly bringing this up?"

"There's also a show at RIG next Wednesday."

"so?"

"Can I meet the members of your band later?"

"……Thanks."

"Ah."

Hachiman Kairin nodded and took the drink that was on Shiina Tatsuki's table back.

This was her breakfast; if she really gave it to Shiina Tatsuki, she would go hungry all morning.

"Speaking of which, why is the classroom so noisy today?"

Shiina Tatsuki frowned as she looked at a seat behind the two of them, which was surrounded by a group of girls, not only from her own class, but also upperclassmen who were blocking the doorway.

She craned her neck to peer into the crowd, but no matter how she looked, her gaze couldn't penetrate the crowd; she could only see a glimpse of gold in the center.

"After all, the big star who had been out of the public eye for a long time has finally reappeared."

Because she was standing, Hachiman Kairin could see more clearly than Shiina Tatsuki, and naturally knew what had happened.

"A big star... Oh, it's her."

Hearing her friend's reminder, Shiina Tatsuki was no longer surprised. After all, there was indeed such a famous person in their class, so it was normal for it to cause such a commotion.

"Mitsubo-kun, it's been so long!"

The girl closest to the center of the crowd—that is, the girl in the triangle—crossed her arms to her chest, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked at the blonde girl in front of her.

"Are you sure your illness is okay? I was so worried about you~"

"Haha, thank you for your concern, I'm really fine now."

With a flawless smile, Misaka Hatsuka spoke to the people before her.

"So Sumi will be back to activities too!"

"um, yes."

"Waaah, I've been waiting for so long..."

"..."

"..."

"That's terrifying popularity."

Shiina Tatsuki sighed, resting her chin on her hand.

She thought that after so long since the start of the semester, her classmates would have gotten used to having an idol around them. She didn't expect that just because Misaka Chuka was absent for a while, everyone would become so crazy about her.

However, she has no right to judge them. If Afterglow or Takamatsu were placed next to her as her classmates, she probably wouldn't behave much better.

"I think if Li Xi became an idol, her popularity wouldn't be any worse than hers."

Suddenly, Hachiman Kairin spoke up.

"I won't take it."

"Really? That's such a pity. I was really looking forward to seeing Lixi dance the 'Cute Love' dance while also..."

"That's why I won't become one. By the way, are you prejudiced against idols?" ●＜〃〖♀

"It's just a stereotype joke. After all, if I didn't do this in my profession, I wouldn't get any attention."

"They're both bassists, how come there's such a big difference..."

"Lixi."

"What are you doing again?"

Do you have a photo of him?

"Who?"

"Mr. Side Dish".

"What Mr. Side Dish..."

After muttering a few words under his breath, Shiina Tatsuki took out his phone and started scrolling through the messages in the group chat.

Although the band doesn't have any activities other than practice, Chihaya Aine always likes to post photos of herself, and Kusano Akira can occasionally be seen in them.

"I remember Aine posted... this... no, she didn't show her face in this one."

"Ah, I found him. Look, this is him."

Hachiman Kairei took the phone from Shiina Tatsuki and looked at the photos displayed on it.

A pink-haired girl and a gray-haired girl are leaning against each other, smiling at the camera. The pink-haired girl is smiling happily, while the gray-haired girl seems a little uncomfortable with this.

Behind them was a boy with dark circles under his eyes. He was idly propping his head up with his hand, seemingly unaware that the two had also included him in the photos, only showing his profile.

"Is this the only one?"

"At least this is the only one I can find here."

"I remember this person's name is... Kusano?"

"Yes." (This appears to be a fragment of a poem or poem, possibly a title or heading.)

"understood."

Yawata Kairin returned the phone.

Shiina Riki took the phone and casually put it in her desk, then glanced at the other person.

"Let me make this clear first, you mustn't make things difficult for him."

"Is this what they mean by 'old hands are not as good as new hands'? I'm no longer trusted, and I'm so sad."

"Stop it."

"Don't worry, I just want to know what he looks like, I won't have any contact with him."

"That's good."

After memorizing the boy's profile that she had just seen, Hachiman Kairin downed her drink in one gulp.

Although she said that, she was really curious about this person.

What kind of person could make Shiina Tatsuki, who is like an iron tree, bloom, and even do things like generating electricity by thinking about this person?

Could it be that her friend, unlike her cold and serious exterior, is actually an easily swayed and very innocent person? — How could that be? She doesn't seem like it at all.

Moreover, even the most easy-going person wouldn't do something so unladylike in a single day, unless Shiina Ritsuki had actually been doing this before yesterday, but she was unaware of it.

She should keep an eye on this person if she has the chance in the future. As a friend, she can't let Shiina Ritsuki be deceived.
