Mygo, are you all yanderes?

"See, I told you it was Xiaodeng's victory..."

The text reads, "...If it were Aine, she would also hold hands with Kodama..."

"Aine is a genuinely cute girl, so it's normal for her to do this with Koharu, but Kusano-kun isn't..."

"Kusano-kun, you're so bold! Koyuki, you're so bold..."

"I don't believe it. Kusano-san must have mistaken Kodama for a small animal!"

"Don't expel Xiaodeng from the human race!"

"Am I the only one..."

"Shut up!" *2

"Why are you treating me like this..."

The classroom was filled with a constant stream of noise, and these words pierced Kusano Akira's ears like sharp swords.

He buried his head in his desk again, but this time it wasn't because he wanted someone's attention, nor because he was ashamed; he was simply avoiding Takamatsu's gaze.

"What's going on here again...?"

Chizaki Aine walked to his side, bent down slightly, and whispered in his ear.

"Ai-yin, an unimaginable disaster has struck my neighborhood..."

Rinko Akira slightly raised her head, looking at the pink-clad girl with pleading eyes.

"Disaster? This time it can't be related to Dengdeng, can it?"

"Ah."

"What's wrong with you? First it was Li Xi, then Su Shishi, then Xiao Mu and Xiangzi, and now it's Dengdeng. Do you have some grudge against everyone who plays in a band?"

Chihaya Aine glanced strangely at Kusano Akira, whose complexion seemed rather bad.

"I hope I'm not the next one whose 'disaster' is related to you..."

"The lamp isn't really a grudge... and you did bring it, didn't you? Yesterday... don't twist it, I won't mention it."

Kusano Akira was muttering under his breath when Chihaya Aine pinched the soft flesh around his waist.

"Hmph, my ears are very sharp."

With a slight blush, Chihaya Aine snorted and released her grip on his hand.

"So what's the reason?"

"...You might not believe it, but I feel like the lamp likes me."

"...Wow, that's really unexpected."

Chihaya Aine paused for a moment, then clapped her hands together in front of her chest and chuckled awkwardly.

"Why are you acting like you already knew?"

"No, they don't know, haha."

"?"

"Well, in short, you're the only one who can help me now."

Kusano Akira glanced around and the atmosphere around him began to brighten. Takamatsu Tou was playing with stones with her hands full of energy. Chihaya Aine gave her a thumbs-up, and then gave a thumbs-up to the three gossiping traffic light group.

"It's amazing, I actually understood it..."

After making a sarcastic remark, Chihaya Aine got up and walked over to the three people in the lively atmosphere.

"Everyone, I need your help with something—"

Seeing that the other person understood him, Kusano Akira pretended to be dead on the table for a while. After the traffic light trio blocked Takamatsu Akira's view, he nodded to Chihaya Aine and walked out of the classroom first.

“Eh——”

Seeing his furtive manner, Chihaya Aine curiously drew out a long syllable and followed him out.

The trio saw the two walk out, and while they were smiling and talking to Gao Songdeng, they were actually exchanging glances.

Why should I block the light's view for them?! I'm a light enthusiast!

[I wonder who was the first to say it was no problem after Aine asked them for help.]

[Because Aine specifically came to ask, it's really hard to refuse at this point...!]

I think you should just join the Aishang Party...

No, this is a matter of principle!

[Hehe, I want to see a battle to steal my man...]

Shut up! *2

"..."

Takamatsu looked up at the three of them with a puzzled expression.

I had a feeling they were saying something strange that I couldn't understand.

But Xiao Ai went out alone with Ming again.

...Forget it, let's not follow them. Anyway, in the illusion, Xiao Ai isn't the one who led Jiao Liu@≥n：朳§◎＿｀'参4∠． 偲”^er to leave her.

There weren't many scenes in the illusion that left a deep impression on her, but one of them was Chihaya Aine running away crying.

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

"Aiyin, I have summoned you here today to give you two important instructions."

"Uh-huh."

The two didn't go far; they stopped at the stairs next to the classroom.

Kusano Akira placed two pieces of paper on the steps of the stairs, then sat down, his hands once again like those of Commander Ikari.

"You really do like this position..."

Chihaya Aine rested her chin on her hands and turned her head to look at him.

"Firstly, there are internal troubles; secondly, there are also internal troubles."

"Stop talking like that, it's so awkward."

"Uh……!"

Kusano Akira trembled as he was struck by Chihaya Aine's direct words.

"..."

"Please speak normally, Lord Kusano. Your words are too profound; I cannot understand them."

Seeing that he was clearly embarrassed but still insisted on making that gesture without saying a word, Chihaya Aine sighed helplessly and gave him a way out.

Although, in Kusano Akira's ears, this step-by-step approach made the already hurtful words even more hurtful.

"Well, that's fine..."

"In short, I need your help with two things."

"After we parted ways yesterday, some things happened."

"for example?"

"Muku told me that Suze knows that Toyokawa is now in Haneoka."

"So Su Shishi wants Hedgehog 4-fold agent ￡|購ˉˇ: 29⊙□4※～⌒∴4°←3々￡5-6ˉ4 to come to her door?"

"Yes."

"Actually, I didn't quite understand before why Xiangzi was so resistant to being approached by everyone from Crychic."

"Because... uh."

Kusano Akira subconsciously wanted to tell Chihaya Aine the reason why Toyokawa Shoko did this, but then he suddenly thought that if he continued to say this, the reason that Toyokawa Shoko was trying so hard to hide might become known to everyone because of him, so he stopped himself in time.

"Because of what?"

"Because...because maybe you have some dark history, like you did something shameful and are too embarrassed to appear in front of your friends, so you ran away?"

"Oh...oh! I see, then there's really no other way, hahaha!"

Chihaya Aine quietly wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and forced a stiff smile.

"Haha...why are you suddenly laughing so strangely?"

"Yes, really?! Isn't that normal?!"

"Instead of that, hurry up and tell me your troubles! If you don't tell me now, Dengdeng will come chasing after you!"

"It really is."

Kusano Akira glanced at the time and found that it was indeed the case.

Because the high-speed lights were always very close to the road, a lot of time was wasted, which resulted in me arriving at school later than yesterday.

"The reason I need your help is related to this."

Volume 1: Chapter 89. Let's go together (2k) ◆ˉfive；∫six∝◆four!ˉ

"Suze will probably come to the entrance of Haneoka to find Toyokawa after school today. I hope you can help me hold her off for a while."

“Just stalling them won’t do any good. What if Su Shishi stays there the whole time? We can’t expect Xiangzi to stay at school until we go to practice.”

Chihaya Aine shook her head; she felt that Kusano Akira's plan was not very good.

"Don't worry about that. I talked to Lixi about it last night. She will move our practice time earlier today, which will shorten the time after school, so we won't have to drag it out for too long."

"...Li Xi?"

Chihaya Aine opened her mouth, looking at Kusano Akira with a somewhat amused expression, her fingers unconsciously playing with her hair.

"Weren't you worried about her yesterday? Now you're such good friends, and you go to her first instead of me when you need something. I'm so sad—"

"I was just worried about disturbing your sleep. Look, what time was it when I texted Lixi yesterday?"

Kusano flicked Chihaya Aine's forehead and showed her his chat history with Shiina Tatsuki.

"It's still the phone, that's so nice, since neither of us has — soUSUo: 」 Road > — Nine 0∑) 簱〗 『＄々—"

"Just tell me what you want."

"That takoyaki place outside the school—"

"One at most."

"hey-hey……"

"Then there's the second thing."

Seeing Chihaya Aine's sly smile of having successfully extorted money, Kusano Akira's lips twitched twice. He rubbed his temples helplessly and then said...

"The second thing is related to Dengdeng, isn't it?"

Chihaya Aine stood up, and although she wasn't covered in dust, she still patted herself clean.

She turned around and squatted down in front of Kusano Akira, extending her slender fingers to flick him on the forehead in return.

"That's right... I think she has ulterior motives towards me."

While dodging her attacks, Kusano Akira rolled his eyes at her and recounted what had happened earlier.

"Do you remember I sent you my home address this morning?"

"I remember, I even looked it up. Your family is really rich, they live in such a luxurious place..."

Chihaya Aine sighed. She had specifically looked up that place that morning, and just looking at the pictures that came up was quite shocking.

"Luxury? I don't think so... Don't change the subject, what I'm about to say is very serious!"

"Okay, go on."

"Anyway, after I sent you my home address, guess what I found!"

"Dengdeng is at your doorstep?"

"..."

"How do you know that?"
