Problem Girls Strategy

......

During the break at Mihama Academy, Kasumigaoka Utaha had just finished asking Jiang Zao about her opinion of a new romance novel when she suddenly remembered that the man in front of her also had a girlfriend. She suddenly became interested and called Jiang Zao: "Jiang Zao, how did you and your girlfriend start dating?"

This topic was like throwing an attractive bait into the ocean. The girls in the classroom turned into "sharks" and came over one after another following the scent.

"That's right, we are also curious about this!" Matsushima Man was the first to join in the fun, his eyes full of gloating.

"My brother's love journey is indeed a good topic."

Kato Megumi remained silent. She looked at the girls who had gathered around her, then looked at Jiang Zao, just wanting to know whose love story he was going to tell.

Eriri pretended to be nonchalant and didn't leave her seat, but in fact she pricked up her ears.

Jiang Zao was not at all nervous and simply pulled out a chair and sat down.

"Why did you bring me up from the romance novel? You are not looking for material for a romance novel, are you, Kasumigaoka-san?"

His joke surprised Kasumigaoka Utaha secretly.

Jiang Zao, you wouldn't have guessed my identity as a light novel author, would you? Apart from chatting with him about novels, I never did anything that might reveal my identity.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was a little flustered, but she managed to keep a straight face without showing any sign of wavering. She raised the corners of her mouth and teased him, "After all, you are the only boy in our school, and you are a boy with a lover. I am naturally curious about your love experience. Is there something you cannot tell me about?"

"Well, since you're all so interested, I have no choice but to tell you about it, so that I don't have to be stabbed with paper figurines by you guys at night if I refuse."

"Oh! My brother's love story!" Ruchao Shicai cheered, took out snacks from his pocket and placed them on the desk, looking forward to it.

Jiang Zao reached out like lightning and snatched the chocolate that Ruchao Shicai had just torn open but not yet bitten off, and ate it in one gulp with a wicked smile. While chewing, he said, "We first met after school."

"I see. It's a very classic plot." Kasumigaoka Utaha resisted the urge to take out her notebook to write it down, but kept it in her heart. This real-life story could be used as material for her new novel.

She was so distracted that she didn't notice that several girls were looking at Yumiko Sakaki, making her face turn red.

It turns out that I was planning to tell the story of Sakaki-san...

Kato Megumi originally thought that the harem of Jiang Zao mentioned by Kazama Ichihime did not include this cold and aloof icy beauty, but she did not expect that even she was one of the "winners".

"She was being harassed by some hooligans at the time, so I went to rescue her."

"Well, a hero saves a beautiful girl, which is also a classic."

"Later I discovered that we had met when we were kids."

Now the girls' eyes turned to Xiaoling Xing again. Apart from her brighter smile, there was no other change on her.

"A childhood sweetheart setting? This is a bit unexpected."

Hearing the word "childhood sweetheart", Eriri, who is a childhood sweetheart fan, couldn't sit still and her twin ponytails stood straight up.

In real life, there are examples of childhood sweethearts getting married around me!

"Then she wanted to be my sister, but I didn't agree."

This time it was Zhou Hou Tianyin's turn to be stared at. She proudly raised her towering peak to repel all gazes.

"To make it up to her, I want to take her to the amusement park."

The speed of entering the nest to pick vegetables and eat snacks has increased a bit.

"Unfortunately, she is a tsundere. She clearly wanted to go, but she said it was too childish and chose to go to a sea of ​​flowers."

Just as Matsushima Mitsuru was about to speak, his pupils turned emerald green in the blink of an eye, and he continued to listen with a smile.

"Later, I went to her home as a guest and listened to her play a piano piece. Well, I can only say that she is worthy of her name. Her piano skills are still exactly the same as when she was a child."

Kazama Ichihime peeled a candy and put it into her cherry mouth. The sweetness of the candy seemed to reach her heart.

After seeing the girls' reactions, Kato Megumi realized that before transferring to this school, all the girls in this school had been conquered by Jiang Zao.

Jiang Zao, you're a little scary...

"So when did you confess your love to each other?" Seeing that Jiang Zao was about to tell every detail about his relationship with his girlfriend, Kasumigaoka Utaha quickly interrupted him and asked the most crucial question.

"Confession?" Jiang Zao was really stumped for a moment.

If we have to say the kind of very formal GALGAME-style confession like "I like you, go out with me!" or "I like you too.", he has never had any experience with girls.

"Didn't you confess your love to each other?" Kasumigaoka Utaha had an expression of disbelief on her face.

"It's like a confession, but it's definitely not the kind of confession you read in novels." Jiang Zao said, stood up and put the chair back under the desk. The class bell rang at the same time: "This is the general process. I wonder if Kasumigaoka is satisfied?"

"It's OK, although it sounds like it's pieced together from various novels."

"It's a pity. These are all true stories. Aren't all stories based on real life?"

"What you said makes sense."

Chapter 95: The Senior Schoolmate is Shocked

Jiang Zao's love story, which was like a patchwork of plots, obviously could not satisfy Kasumigaoka Utaha. Since what he said was not true at all, Kasumigaoka Utaha could only think of other ways.

It just so happened that she and Yumiko Sakaki had recently become friends through a love mystery novel, so asking the heroine directly was a good solution. What's more, as they were both girls, the answer she would give would definitely have a woman's sensibility and delicacy, and would not be like Jiang Zao's, which made it seem as if nothing had been said.

Breaks and classrooms were obviously not the right time and place, so Kasumigaoka Utaha opened [momotalk].

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Sakaki-san, are you free after school today?"

Yumiko Sakaki: "There's nothing special to do. I have some free time. Have you found a new romance mystery novel?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "It's not about this. I want to ask about the process of your relationship with Jiang Zao."

Yumiko Sakaki: "You really like romance themes, and you even write about real-life romances. Are you really writing a romance novel like Jiang Zao said?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "How is that possible? I'm just curious because I have no experience in love."

Yumiko Sakaki: "See you after school."

Kasumigaoka Utaha: “Yeah.”

After successfully making an appointment with Yumiko Sakaki, Kasumigaoka Utaha felt a little proud. She glanced at Jiang Zao, who was daydreaming with his chin in his hand.

Even if you don't want to tell me, I have my own way!

......

"Kasumigaoka-san, please take a seat." Yumiko Sakaki invited Kasumigaoka Utaha to sit down and placed the freshly brewed green tea in front of her.

"Thank you." Kasumigaoka Utaha took a sip of green tea. She didn't expect Sakaki Yumiko to make her a cup of green tea without even asking. Although she didn't hate green tea, she preferred the mellow taste of black tea to the refreshing green tea.

With an icy beauty personality who is not good at socializing...will she really take the initiative to ask to be Jiang Zao's sister?

No, no, no, I can't jump to conclusions so easily. You can't judge a person by his appearance. Maybe Sakaki-san is the type of person who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

Seeing her take out the love mystery novel that they had discussed last time, Kasumigaoka Utaha quickly reminded her of the main purpose of her coming here: "Ahem, Sakaki-san, can you tell me about your love experience with Jiang Zao-san?"

"Oh, sorry, I was too focused on the story that was going to happen next, so I subconsciously..." A blush flashed across Yumiko Sakaki's fair face, and she quickly covered the novel she had just opened and put it aside.

"After you finish talking about your love story, let's continue discussing our speculations about the subsequent plot."

"Well, do you want to listen to it from the beginning? Or just the key points?"

"Let's start from the beginning. What Jiang Zao said today doesn't seem like a true story," said Kasumigaoka Utaha, and then she quickly added, "I'm not questioning your relationship, it's just..."

"I know, Kasumigaoka-san, actually what he said is true, but it sounds a little too unbelievable to others." Yumiko Sakaki smiled faintly and recounted her acquaintance with Jiang Zao with nostalgia and emotion.

At first, Kasumigaoka Utaha listened with great interest. Just as Jiang Zao said, he and Sakaki Yumiko met in the classroom in the evening after school. But the story after the meeting made her a little unacceptable.

"Sakaki-san, I'm sorry to interrupt you!" Kasumigaoka Utaha raised her right palm and rubbed her temple with her left hand. Her heart was greatly shocked: "This is your first meeting, and you attacked Jiang Zao-san with a handmade knife??"

Yumiko Sakaki nodded and asked Kasumigaoka Utaha in turn: "Kasumigaoka-san, think about it, if a boy of unknown identity suddenly came to a school full of girls, would you worry about your safety and chastity?"

"Ah... go on." Kasumigaoka Utaha could understand this mentality, but Sakaki Yumiko's move of taking out a knife and sending Jiang Zao to the hospital was a bit too extreme, and she could not agree with it.

The fact that Jiang Zao was able to remain unscathed in this attack and even turned Sakaki into his girlfriend is even more bizarre than the plot of a light novel.

After that, Yumiko Sakaki tells the story of how the two gradually resolved their misunderstandings and helped her solve the problems regarding the Tohama Electric Railway Group.

After listening for a long time, Kasumigaoka Utaha realized that it was just as Jiang Zao said, there was no standard confession scene between the two of them, which inevitably gave her a headache.

Seeing that Kasumigaoka Utaha had a troubled expression after listening to her story, Yumiko Sakaki wanted to know what Kasumigaoka Utaha imagined her love process to be like, so she asked, "Kasumigaoka-san, what exactly do you think love is like?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha held up the teacup with both hands, staring into the cup with her wine-red eyes, as if she saw the flame of inspiration that was originally burning for the chance to hear a real-life love story being ruthlessly extinguished by the cold tea.

After a long silence, Kasumigaoka Utaha slowly spoke: "I think love should be about two people being attracted to each other through special opportunities and reasons, then discovering their own thoughts and coming together."

"It's very similar to the plot in a romance novel."

After hearing what Sakaki Yumiko said, Kasumigaoka Utaha realized that her fantasy about love had always been based on the plot of novels. She laughed at herself and said, "Yeah, that's how people with no experience in love are."

"Everyone has their own vision of love, but it's just a fantasy after all." Yumiko Sakaki never thought that she would fall in love with someone one day, and even with someone in the harem. She gathered her hair at the temples and said, "In reality, there are not so many special events that can trigger love. Love does not need a reason dominated by rationality. It only takes a little bit of chance and goodwill to bring people together."

When did she develop a crush on Jiang Zao? Sakaki Yumiko couldn't say for sure. She watched Jiang Zao's every move as an observer, and her attitude changed from full of hostility at the beginning to getting along with him as an ordinary classmate later. She watched him gradually change the girls in the school and then save herself.

Did the two of them confess their love? No.

But Yumiko Sakaki still remembers what Jiang Zao, who was standing beside her, said when they were sketching by the lake: "You have become very charming, Sakaki-san."

Was Jiang Zao talking about the painting, or about her, or both?

The answer to this question is not important; what is important is the sentence itself.

There were no vows of eternal love or sweet talk in the words, just simple compliments, which were enough for Yumiko Sakaki to understand her inner feelings. There was no doubt that she fell in love with the man who saved her and carried the responsibility of her entire life thereafter.

Kato Hui calmly picked up the green tea and drank it. Her impression of Jiang Zao was no longer a scumbag with a harem, but a powerful scumbag with a harem. She also expressed her opinion: "I think what Sakaki-san said makes sense."

"Kato-san!?"

"Hey, when did you get here?"

"Sakaki-san, that's too much. It was you who invited me into the house because you said you would lend me a mystery novel." Kato Megumi said this, but there was no sign of grievance in her tone or eyes. She was used to it.

Chapter 96 Kato Megumi: I cover C

"Is that so? Sorry, I seem to have subconsciously ignored you again..." Yumiko Sakaki smiled apologetically and handed the mystery novel that she had prepared long ago to Kato Megumi.

"It's okay, I'm used to it." Kato Megumi held the novel in her arms, supported herself on the tea table with her right hand, stood up, and prepared to leave.

Yumiko Sakaki called out to her, "Wait a minute, Kato-san!"

"Is there anything else?"

"Now I, Mitsuru, Kasumigaoka-san, and Kato-san are the only ones left in the school who haven't returned the gift to Ezao, right?"

"it seems to be like this."

“How about the four of us work together to cook a meal for Jiang Zao like Tianyin and Makie did?” Sakaki Yumiko felt a little embarrassed when she said this, as if four cooking wimps were huddling together for warmth. However, she didn't know that Kato Megumi's cooking skills ranked third among girls.

Rather than saying they are huddling together for warmth, it would be more accurate to say that the three of them are clinging to Kato Megumi.

Kato Megumi said calmly, not minding being a big shot to lead the other three: "I have no objection, what about Kasumigaoka-san?"

“I am aware of my own cooking skills, and being able to work in a team helps me a lot.”

"I'll go talk to Man over there."

Hearing this, Kato Hui put the mystery novel in her arms back on the table and sat down again in a standard duck sitting posture: "Then we need to choose the dishes to make first. Do Sakaki-san and Kasumigaoka-san have any good ideas?"

"Let me call Man over first so we can brainstorm."

Yumiko Sakaki: "Man, come to my room."

Matsushima Mitsuru: “Ah? What’s wrong?

Yumiko Sakaki: "Haven't you returned the gift to Jiang Zao yet? I asked Kasumigaoka-san and Kato-san to work with us."

Matsushima Mitsuru: "That sounds like a good idea. I'll be right over."

[It seems that neither of us has any talent for cooking. ]

【Louji! 】

Matsushima Man didn't dare look back at the mess in her room. The two personalities had been tinkering in the room for a long time but couldn't cook a decent meal. She decided not to step into the kitchen again. She sent a message to Xiaoling Xing, asking her to clean the bedroom for her, then opened the door and left.

"Dong dong dong."

"Yumiko, here I come!"

"Come in, Man."
