My girlfriend is a bad lady

"Watanabe-senpai!"

This time, Toru Watanabe stopped and looked back.

It only took two steps, but the short-haired girl ran over.

"Watanabe-senpai! It's me! It's me!"

"'I'? Who am I?"

"Geng Guidesu!" The girl raised the toes of her right foot in her small leather shoes, put her heel on the ground, leaned her upper body forward slightly, and made a scissors hand gesture with her right hand over her right eye.

"I like Gardevoir, thank you, goodbye." Watanabe Toru turned around.

"Wait a moment! Please wait a moment!" The girl ran around to the front of Watanabe Toru, "Senior, I'm Horikita Mai!"

"Mai Sakamoto?"

"Horikita Maidesu!"

"Horikita Maki?"

"It would be nice to be an entertainer in the future, but I'm Horikita Mai."

"I'm sorry, I don't know anyone named Horikita Mai."

"How could it be!" Horikita Mai said subconsciously, and then froze for a moment as if she remembered something, "I almost forgot, Senior doesn't know me yet."

"Future people?"

"Superpower desu!"

"Sorry, I'm not interested in aliens, people from the future, or people with super powers. I only like ordinary people." Toru Watanabe took a step forward.

Horikita Mai quickly followed, surrounding Watanabe Toru like a sparrow.

"Watanabe-senpai, I'm your biggest fan!"

"I have no fans."

"Senior, don't you know? You have many, many fans! Everyone follows you from various channels. Let me introduce myself. I watched your wind instrument competition and was attracted to you!"

"You're so noisy."

"My mother said that to me, too, eh~"

Hey, you...

Forget it, Toru Watanabe made up his mind not to swear - even though it was just a complaint, it shouldn't be considered swearing.

"Senior, I was able to apply to Kamikawa High School because of you!"

"No need."

"Senior, is the atmosphere in the wind band good? Will they bully the newbies?"

"meeting."

"Really? Then Senior will definitely protect me, right?"

"I'm the bully."

"Is it because the seniors are too skilled that they are so harsh on the members? Well, it doesn't matter. Although I may be small, Mai-chan, I have a strong will! Seniors, please train me as much as you want!"

"Horikita Maki-kun..."

"Horikita Maidesu!" Horikita Mai introduced herself again, "Senior, just call me Mai!"

"I have quit the wind band."

“Eh——Why?!”

The two of them kept walking. For every one step Watanabe Toru took, the girl would take two or three steps.

"During the Chinese New Year, my motorcycle was tampered with by someone who was jealous of my talent. I was involved in an accident and my left hand was injured. My dream of becoming an oboe player was shattered."

Horikita Mai was so scared that she stopped, then realized that she had been tricked and immediately followed.

"Just like Kaidou Naoya! Senior, I will avenge you!" She chirped, as lively as a little bird.

"Kaidou Naoya?"

The girl ran in front of Toru Watanabe, turned around like a handsome guy in a girls' comic, and came face to face with Toru Watanabe.

She spread her legs, and first circled her waist, which was as thin as a paperback book, with her right hand, and then stretched it out towards Watanabe Toru with her palm facing upwards as if posing.

"I will never forgive those who hurt my senior! Transform!"

Watanabe Toru stopped.

"What did you say your name was?"

"Horikita Maidesu!"

"Horikita-san, if you get admitted to Kamikawa, you will be my little brother."

"Yes! Please rest assured, senior!" The short-haired female junior high school student saluted in a very serious but funny way.

After parting with the girl named Horikita Mai, Toru Watanabe finished setting up the remaining road signs.

At noon, Koizumi Aona invited him to have lunch at a restaurant near the school.

This restaurant is a bit expensive and is not often visited by students from nearby.

There is relaxing music playing in the store.

The two sat down at a window seat. Watanabe Toru saw that there were Chinese dishes such as shredded pork with green peppers, so he ordered two.

Koizumi Aina ordered spaghetti.

"Teacher, when is the third grade graduation ceremony?" asked Toru Watanabe.

"The exact date has not been determined yet, but it will be somewhere in the second week of March."

In other words, Asu Mai will move to Shinano Town sometime in the second week of March.

After dinner, Koizumi Aona ordered coffee for the two of them.

"Do you need help tomorrow?" Toru Watanabe added half a teaspoon of sugar to the coffee.

"We need someone to stand at the classroom door to deal with any emergencies of the examinees. Are you willing to do it?"

"If you want to eat."

"This is the first time I'm having dinner alone with a boy." In the sunlight outside the window, Koizumi Aona's smile looked very charming.

After saying this, Koizumi Aona felt something was wrong, but the words had already been spoken, so she could only drink coffee to ease the embarrassment.

"I rarely eat alone with girls. I refused any invitation from girls at school." Toru Watanabe looked like he was keeping himself clean.

Koizumi Aona looked at Watanabe Toru with amusement: "How are things going with Seino-san and Kujo-san recently?"

"That's good. These two like to team up to bully me recently." Toru Watanabe took a sip of coffee.

It was still a little bitter, but it had started to become sweet, and it had a unique flavor to drink, so he didn't dislike it.

After watching the movie yesterday, Koizumi Aona subconsciously associated "bullying" with that aspect, and was very concerned about whether Watanabe Toru really did that, but she resisted the urge to ask.

The two sat and rested for a while, then paid the bill and left.

Sunday, May 2.

Horikita Mai turned off the alarm clock just before it rang.

After changing into school uniform and brushing my teeth and washing my face, I heard my mother's voice.

"Mai, breakfast is ready!"

"coming!"

For breakfast I had fried eggs, toast, salad, and a glass of milk.

She ate at the dining table while her mother helped her check her admission ticket and stationery again, and prepared her coat, scarf and gloves.

"Mom, I'm leaving!"

"Come on, Mai."

"Yes, I will definitely pass the exam!"

I rushed out of the house with my schoolbag and jumped onto the tram whose door was about to close.

The tram screens were broadcasting news about exams in various places.

It snowed heavily in Kamakura and the trains were delayed.

In front of the camera, those senior high school students who were preparing to take the exams either closed their eyes and prayed, or looked despairing, or anxiously called someone.

"Next stop, Yotsuya Station, Yotsuya Station."

Leaving the platform, the slope leading to "Tokyo Kamikawa Private High School" is full of candidates wearing various styles of school uniforms.

At the beginning of the slope, there is a small bicycle repair shop. In front of the shop, Horikita Mai finds her school friend.

"Wasuho-chan!" She waved vigorously, looked left and right, and after making sure the road was safe, she ran over.

"Good morning, Mai-chan." Linnaheihe responded very ladylike.

"Good morning. Sorry I'm late."

"It's okay. It's still early. Did you pick up all your things? Did you forget anything?"

"Of course!" Horikita Mai patted her schoolbag, "Please trust my mother!"

The two walked up the ramp and entered Kamikawa High School, bypassing the oak tree that was more than 20 meters tall and as big as a hill.

“This tree is so big!”

“I really want to see what it will look like in the summer!”

"Then let's do our best together."

"Yes! And I have already made an appointment with Watanabe-senpai, I must pass the exam."

"Mai-chan is really obsessed with Watanabe-senpai."

"Of course! Kazuho-chan, you don't know much about wind music, and you don't know how amazing Watanabe-senpai is! Why don't you join the wind band too, and we can become the Pretty Cure of the wind band together!"

Horikita Mai posed in a classic moon transformation pose.

Her figure, if placed in an animation, is indeed as slender as a beautiful girl.

On campus, the middle school boys, huddled in their scarves, glanced over here out of the corner of their eyes.

"…Mai-chan, you're going to high school soon. If you keep doing this, Watanabe-senpai might hate you."

"Really?!"

The two people were on different floors and separated by the stairwell.

Horikita Mai walked into the classroom of Class 3-1 and sat in the second to last seat in the last row.

"Mai-chan, you really are the protagonist! You will definitely pass the exam!"

Linnaeus and Sui went up to the third floor, which was a higher level floor.

Although it was a serious examination venue, there was noise in the corridor.

Someone stuck their heads out from the doors and windows of Class One, Class Two, and Class Three and looked towards Class Four.

There were also people who did not enter the examination room. They were standing in the corridor chatting with their friends, but their eyes were also looking at Class 4.

Linnai and Sui looked over curiously.

It was a scene that left a deep impression on her and she still remembered it many years later.

In the sun-filled corridor, a boy wearing the Kamikawa High School uniform with his shirt open placed a set of tables and chairs in front of Class 4's door.

There was nothing on the table. The sunlight shone on the boy's handsome face. He was reading quietly alone.

After the morning exam, Linna and Sui met up with Horikita Mai, and the two had lunch at a nearby family restaurant.

"Mai-chan."

"Hmm?" Horikita Mai ate the parfait with a spoon.

"I saw Watanabe-senpai today."
