I have bound two systems.

After being complimented a little, Touma and Sa's vigilance and disgust that had just risen in their hearts subsided a little.

"He's exaggerating. I'm just a random guy."

Kazusa is not good at communicating with others, and she is talkative only when she is talking to Chisato Suzumiya.

When she heard Chisato Suzumiya take the initiative to introduce this strange girl as just his junior, she felt a little relieved.

But soon, two equally cute girls who came over arm in arm made her alert again.

…………

Chapter 8.5: Senior? ~, you don’t want to... (k)

The successive approach of girls made Touma Kazusa alert for the first time in a long time, and she recalled what she was thinking when she first started dating Suzumiya Chisato.

That is, has he ever dated other girls in the past, considering he is so handsome and kind?

At that time, she listened to her inner emotional advice and felt that the right thing to do was to value the present and not dwell on the past.

She did so, suppressing her curiosity and burying the question of whether he had had any emotional experience in the past deep in her heart, without asking it out loud.

As time went by, the weight of such problems in her heart gradually faded, and today she doesn't even care about it much.

But it wasn't until a chance encounter on the way to a date when three extremely cute girls suddenly appeared in front of her that the alarm bells in her heart began to ring again.

Some things will happen if you don't pay attention to them, and the current situation is a good proof of this.

Whether it was the cute short-haired girl who affectionately called "senior", or the girl with long black hair and a calm expression like herself who slowly walked towards them after they left the crowd, both made Touma Kazusa feel uneasy for the first time since she started dating Suzumiya Chisato.

This uneasiness comes from their inner vigilance and subconscious fear that the other party will affect their current stable and happy relationship.

Even...destruction.

As for the last girl with pink hair, whose hair was braided into a bun, for some reason, Touma Kazusa did not feel the same obvious hostility as the first two.

As for why this was the case, she herself couldn't explain it. Perhaps it was just a simple female sixth sense that made her feel that she was harmless in some ways and could not pose any threat to her.

This feeling comes for no reason, but it is extremely real.

Touma and Sa had mixed feelings as they glanced warily at the faces of the three girls around them.

Chisato Suzumiya was also in an extremely awkward situation. He had just experienced a situation where the current group of people met by coincidence outside not long ago, but this time it was much more exciting than the previous meeting in the supermarket.

Touma Kazusa was the final showdown target in his original plan. Unlike Eriri or Shiwa, she knew nothing yet, and he couldn't let her know something beyond the original plan at this moment.

Therefore, the most important thing now is to understand as quickly as possible this encounter that he had not expected or prepared for.

On this basis, one must act quite naturally, not reveal any flaws, and certainly not let Isshiki and the others say anything they shouldn't say.

However, as she was the only one dealing with this crisis secretly, Chisato Suzumiya felt enormous pressure.

He thought of his good friend, Black Wing. He gave it a day off yesterday before leaving for the date and let it go out and move around freely.

If it could be there now, it could be of some help, such as flying low and snatching the souvenirs from their hands to create panic and distract their attention, or more directly letting it drop something on his head, so that he could naturally take Hesa's hand and say goodbye to go to the bathroom.

But now that Ya Ya is gone, I have to rely on myself for everything.

He was not familiar with Yukinoshita Yukino and Yuigahama Yui, so he could only focus all his attention on Isshiki Iroha.

She is the key to breaking the deadlock. As long as she behaves herself and doesn't say too much, everything will be fine.

"Is this your friend?"

Suzumiya Chisato glanced at Yukinoshita and Yuigahama, and her inquiring gaze fell on Isshiki Iroha again.

He knew the relationship between them, but he still asked the question. This was not to make conversation, but to use Isshi Iroha's mouth to tell the truth, so that Kazusa would feel at ease.

For things like this, it is much more convincing when someone else takes the initiative to explain it now, compared to his own explanation afterwards.

"Well, you have met the seniors before. They are my friends and seniors in school. This one is Yukinoshita Yukino, and this one is Yuigahama Yui."

Isshi Iroha nodded, and using her personality advantage, she lively stood between the two camps and took on the role of a go-between to introduce them to each other.

"Senior, this is Suzumiya Chisato-senpai, you have met him before, and this is his girlfriend Touma Kazusa."

"Ah, hello."

Yuigahama Yui smiled and carefully raised her hand to greet.

In comparison, Yukinoshita Yukino's reaction was much colder, she just gave a look and a slight nod.

Touma Hesa's reaction was similar to hers. She simply found it difficult to get enthusiastic towards people she was not familiar with.

In order to avoid making the situation awkward, Suzumiya Chisato did the same thing as Yuigahama, raised her hand, waved and greeted, deliberately magnifying the unfamiliar feeling between them to Kazusa.

This approach did have some effect. Touma and Sa withdrew their vigilance towards Yukinoshita Yukino, and now all their attention was focused on Isshi Iroha.

After she introduced both parties to each other, she once again looked at her boyfriend with joy and admiration.

Touma Kazusa felt very uncomfortable about this. Even though Chisato Suzumiya had just introduced that this girl was just her junior, there was no way for her to ignore the look in her eyes when she looked at her boyfriend.

The resentment towards her was also growing rapidly.

However, Touma and Sa still maintained their rationality and restrained themselves. No matter how annoying the other party was, they were all Chisato's friends after all.

She warned herself in her heart not to be so rude.

Chisato Suzumiya had been secretly observing his girlfriend's condition. Seeing that she didn't look very well, she understood that it would be best to quickly talk about some unimportant topics and end this coincidental encounter as soon as possible.

However, Isshiki Iroha's current attitude made him feel a little unpredictable.

She knew that her girlfriend was right next to her, but she was still bold enough to give him a look that could easily be misunderstood. I had no idea what her purpose was in doing so.

"Senior, I never knew you could play the piano."

Isshiki Caiyu asked with a smile.

"I just started learning recently, and I have to thank her for my rapid progress."

When Suzumiya Chisato answered, she looked at her girlfriend with a smile on her face, as if she was proud of her.

“She’s a professional.”

"Hey~ I really envy Suzumiya-senpai for having someone as amazing as Touma-senpai as his girlfriend."

Isshi Iroha raised her beautiful eyes and looked directly at Touma Kazusa without any concern.

She turned her gaze back to Suzumiya Chisato, and suddenly without any warning, she smiled brilliantly, took the initiative to approach Touma Kazusa, put her left hand over her mouth, and spoke cautiously in a tone as if she was revealing a secret,

"Um, Touma-senpai, I actually want to tell you a secret about Suzumiya-senpai. Are you interested?"

Isshi Caiyu's voice was not loud, but it was just loud enough for everyone present to hear clearly.

Perhaps Yuigahama Yui realized what was going to happen next, and subconsciously covered her mouth with her hand.

Yukinoshita Yukino's expression also became a little serious, but overall it was pretty much the same as what she had just shown, and she was also happy to see Isshi Iroha's actions now.

In her opinion, her junior schoolmate has finally seen through the true face of the guy who plays with girls' feelings. Now she is completely disheartened and plans to give an explanation for her misplaced relationship before officially giving up, so that Touma and Saya, who are completely unaware of the situation, can also learn the real situation.

From any perspective, this can be considered a good thing.

Only Suzumiya Chisato fell into a state of extreme panic after hearing these words. Although her expression was well controlled and not too moved, her pupils dilated unnaturally for a moment.

Fortunately, Touma Kazusa did not notice his loss of composure at the first moment. Her attention was attracted by Isshiki Iroha who suddenly approached.

She wasn't quite sure what the other party was planning when he suddenly said this, but it was undeniable that she was indeed very curious.

Since it concerns her boyfriend, she can't help but care.

Touma Hesa ​​turned her head to glance at Suzumiya Chisato, who was looking at her with a helpless smile and didn't react much.

She looked away with concern, and looked at Isshiki Iroha, forcing the corners of her lips to rise to appear more polite.

"Very interesting, what's the secret?"

Isshi Iroha calmly withdrew her gaze from Suzumiya Chisato.

Touma Kazusa was stunned for a moment after hearing her question and did not see the change in Suzumiya Chisato's eyes in that instant, but she saw it clearly.

That was undoubtedly a horrified reaction!

Such a reaction is too easy to interpret; it is a sign of guilt!

Isshi Caiyu looked back on everything that had happened between her and Suzumiya since their accidental encounter until now. During this period, he had always been calm and composed, and had never shown any panic in front of her. When the two of them were getting along, he was always the one in control of the situation.

But now, he was flustered by his own words, and for the first time he showed an expression that he had never seen before.

He was afraid that he would do as he imagined and tell Touma and Kazusa the facts that he knew!

His reaction just shows that the situations of Touma Kazusa, Sawamura Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha are completely different.

Senior Suzumiya hasn't confessed to her yet!

Touma and Sa are his weakness!

A casual little test was enough to allow Isshi Iroha to make such a discovery, and Suzumiya Chisato's reaction made her feel amused.

Although she knew that this situation just showed how much Chisato Suzumiya valued Touma Hesa, she felt a little annoyed for some reason.

But at the same time, there is an indescribable joy rising in my heart.

In the current situation, how the situation will develop next is up to her.

Senior Qianli, you don’t want to...

Isshi Iseha was intoxicated by the feeling of being in control of the overall situation. The changes in her mentality and emotions caused by her sensory awareness finally made her make up her mind, deviate from the original plan, and come up with a new idea.

"In fact, it's better to say it's a piece of advice than a secret. Suzumiya-senpai..."

Isshi Iroha leaned close to Touma and Sa's ears and lowered her voice, but still kept it just loud enough for everyone present to hear, and spoke slowly,

"He was actually very popular in the past, and there were many girls chasing after him, so what I want to tell you is that you must be alert to such situations and not give other girls with ulterior motives the opportunity to take advantage of you."

When Isshiki Caiyu was saying these words, she was in the blind spot of Touma and Sa's sight because she took the initiative to get close to their ears.

So she met Suzumiya Chisato's gaze without any concealment, and playfully curled the corners of her mouth, giving him a look that said, "Relax, I won't talk nonsense."

And at the end of her words, she winked at him with her left eye in a playful and provocative manner.

This expression was also seen by the onlookers Yuigahama Yui and Yukinoshita Yukino.

Yuigahama was quite confused about this, but Yukinoshita seemed to have thought of something. She looked at Isshiki Iroha and frowned slightly.

"Thank you, I'll keep an eye on it."

Touma Kazusa is extremely uncomfortable with dealing with unfamiliar people, and she doesn't like others having too close physical contact with her.

Therefore, after Isshiki Iroha finished speaking, she quickly took a step back to create some distance between the two of them.

After receiving the message just conveyed by Isshia Iroha, Chisato Suzumiya felt more and more uneasy.

But there are also benefits. Although he still doesn't know why she did this, he can say it is God's blessing. In short, the crisis he was most worried about seems to have passed.

"Isshiki likes to exaggerate. It's not that exaggerated."

Chisato Suzumiya walked up to Touma Kazusa and spoke softly.

Hesha glanced at him and blinked thoughtfully. No one knew what she was thinking, but she still nodded slightly in obedience.

"We won't disturb your date. See you another day."

Isshiki Iroha waved gently and returned to her friend's side.

"Okay. Bye bye."

"Wait a minute, Touma-san."

Suzumiya Chisato also waved goodbye, and when she was about to leave with Touma Kazusa, Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly spoke.

Everyone was shocked, and Touma Kazusa, who had already turned around, looked at her with a puzzled look.

The two of them had never talked to each other from beginning to end, and she didn't know why the other party suddenly called her.

Chisato Suzumiya's heart began to beat wildly, but there was someone else whose reaction was even more intense than his.

Isshi Iroha eagerly grabbed Yukinoshita's hand.

A secret is only valuable when it is not made public. If it is exposed now, her idea will not be able to move forward at all.

"Um, Yukinoshita-senpai, don't delay other people's dates. Let's go eat quickly, okay? We've been walking all the way here for so long and it's time to rest. I feel very tired."

The tone of Isshiki Iroha's voice has not changed compared to before, but her cute face, which is facing away from Touma Kazusa, now has a pitiful expression as if she is about to cry at any moment, and she is desperately winking at Yukinoshita Yukino.

That meant to beg her not to say what was coming next.

Yukinoshita Yukino felt incomprehensible and considered the current situation based on her life creed, whether it was Chisato Suzumiya who deceived Touma Kazusa, or Isshiki Iroha who knew the truth but still chose to hide the truth for Chisato Suzumiya.

What both of them did was undoubtedly wrong.
