"Are you sure this thing is edible? Unknown wild fruits are poisonous." Yukino still looked at Haruki with suspicion.

"Oh, I told you it's okay. Besides, this isn't some unknown wild fruit. It's called [Solanum nigrum fruit], and it can be used as a medicinal herb. It's absolutely fine to eat a little."

"Is... is that so?" Yukino looked at Haruki's confident look, and hesitantly picked a black fruit from the plant in her hand and put it into her mouth.

Just take a sip and the juice inside will burst out.

"Mmm, sweet..."

"Right? Can I still lie to you?"

After confirming that they were indeed edible, Yukino put them into her mouth one by one, completely ignoring Tsurumi Rumi who had just spoken to her.

"Speaking of which, have you given it to Hiratsuka-sensei?"

After eating several mouthfuls, Yukino finally remembered Hiratsuka Shizuka. Logically, if Haruki had stepped over Hiratsuka Shizuka and delivered this directly to her, then...

"I gave it to her a long time ago, but she doesn't like sweet things like this. She tried a few and didn't want it anymore. What's the matter? Do you have any problem?" Haruki immediately locked onto Yukino, who was a little thoughtful.

It was rare for Yukino to not pay attention to her facial expression and she really avoided Haruki's gaze like a thief.

"your name?"

At this time, Tsurumi Rumi, who had been watching for a long time, saw that Yukino and Haruki were not talking, so she looked at the two of them and asked their names.

"Huh? What's wrong with the name?" Haruki didn't even look at the child. He thought that this kind of problem child should have some magical sensitivity in his body, but when he approached him, he found that there was none. It was really a waste of time.

"I asked you what your name is?" Tsurumi Rumi was a little impatient. Although she didn't remember the names of the other volunteers who helped, she had seen them at the opening ceremony. She had never seen this big brother who came out of nowhere, and he walked out so swaggeringly and interrupted her conversation with the big sister next to her. She had been enduring it for a long time.

"Normally, you can understand it if Hong Kongcai asks like that, right?" Tsurumi Rumi's attitude was very arrogant.

Yukino was unhappy at that time. She originally felt a little pity or empathy, but when she saw the child's arrogant attitude and that he was targeting Haruki, Yukino's expression instantly turned cold.

"When asking someone's name, shouldn't you first state your own name? Isn't that a bit rude?"

Feeling the pressure from an adult, Tsurumi Rumi's gaze softened suddenly, and she lowered her head and pursed her lips a little aggrievedly.

"Tsurumi Rumi..."

Seeing that Tsurumi Rumi's attitude had subsided, Yukino stopped pressuring her.

"I'm Yukinoshita Yukino, that one over there is Haruki, and this is Yuigahama Yui."

……

Chapter 349 Serious Yukino

Yuigahama Yui had actually been listening for a long time. Perhaps because she saw Haruki and Yukino whispering, she didn't rush forward. When she saw Tsurumi Rumi interrupting their conversation, she took the opportunity to run out.

"You must be Tsurumi Rumi!"

Yuigahama Yui ran in front of Tsurumi Rumi and slightly bent her knees to keep herself at the same height as Tsurumi Rumi as much as possible.

"Please take care of me!"

In fact, Yuigahama Yui should be considered the best at dealing with children among the three, after all, Chile has so many advantages.

Tsurumi Rumi frowned as she looked at the smiling Yuigahama Yui and the friendliness she showed.

"I always feel that the two of them here give people a different feeling. Compared with the people over there, I am also different, compared with the people over there."

“不同?你指的是什么?”由比滨结衣看着面前的鹤见留美问道。外君·羊:1.0。三,7(74)四(0,七)8

"We are all just little brats!" Tsurumi Rumi immediately put on a very disgusted expression.

“So, I think it doesn’t matter even if I’m alone.”

"But the memories left with elementary school friends are very important!" This theory is obviously completely different from Yuigahama Yui's idea. If she has no friends or is isolated, Yuigahama Yui will probably feel that life is worse than death, right?

Hearing Yuigahama Yui's words, Tsurumi Rumi's expression relaxed a little.

"Memories or something... I don't need them. I can just make friends with the outside students when I get to junior high school."

"I'm sorry, that's not what you say!" Yukino immediately refuted the little brat's naive remarks, took out a tissue from her pocket to wipe her hands, and then handed it to Haruki who was also dirty because of eating berries.

"Those classmates who ostracized you will also go to the same middle school as you, right? Then history will repeat itself, right?"

"Besides, this time you're with the outside students..."

Looking at the clear eyes of Tsurumi Rumi, Yukino decided not to say such cruel words. The actual situation might be even more serious than she said. After all, the unsociable Tsurumi Rumi was, in a sense, dead end. If outside students made friends with Tsurumi Rumi, the best result would be that they would be ostracized by those idiots together with Tsurumi Rumi. The worse result would be that Tsurumi Rumi would be abandoned, and those outside students would join these idiots in isolating her.

"it is as expected……"

After hearing Yukino's persuasion, Tsurumi Rumi also lowered her head. How could she not have thought of these truths at all? She just didn't want to admit it.

"I really feel like a fool..."

Tsurumi Rumi stood with her hands hanging down, her fists clenched, and her tone became sad.

"Did something happen?"

Yuigahama Yui was the most sensitive to such matters, and she hurried forward to ask with concern.

"I've excluded classmates from my class several times, but it was over quickly. Then I started talking to her again, and someone always brought it up, and before I knew it, the atmosphere had become like that..."

Tsurumi Rumi no longer concealed anything and confessed what had happened to her before.

"Just because I did something like that before, I didn't expect to end up in this situation this time. I obviously didn't do anything to hurt anyone. Will it be like this after middle school?"

……

In the evening, Shizuka Hiratsuka gathered the staff in a small pavilion nearby for a meeting to summarize the day's work and existing problems.

Everyone had a gloomy face and said nothing, except Yaohui, who was eating with big mouthfuls, unaffected.

"Are you really okay?"

Whenever Yuigahama Yui thought about what Tsurumi Rumi had told her, she felt very uncomfortable. Not only now, but it would be like this even in middle school and high school. She would always be isolated and alone, and in serious cases, she would even be stripped of her wealth.

"Hmm! Is there anything in particular that worries you?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka, who was leaning against the table, also noticed that the atmosphere among everyone was not right, so she stopped holding it in and asked directly.

"There is an isolated girl among this group of children..." Hayato Hayama spoke out, after all, he was considered the number one eyewitness.

"How pitiful!" Although Miura Yumiko did not witness it, she felt very sympathetic after hearing other people's stories. Being alone is not a good thing. People like her understand this very well. Although she is an arrogant queen in her daily life, she is just hard-mouthed and soft-hearted. She would not do anything disgusting to exclude classmates.

But in the final analysis, these two are real kings of reality TV. They simply cannot understand those marginalized people, let alone the essence of this matter.

As for isolation, it wouldn't be a big deal if Tsurumi Rumi was just alone. Some people are born not to like making close friends. In fact, people are not that kind of people who are superficial and don't like to talk.

The problem is that in Tsurumi Rumi's case, she was maliciously isolated by everyone because of some things she had done in the past. The nature of this is completely different, and there is a high probability that it will escalate into malicious pickpocketing.

"So? What do you want to do?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka was actually not very interested in this kind of thing, but since these students were so interested, they probably had some ideas. If conditions permitted, it would not be a bad idea to let them try it.

"I want to help her as much as possible." Hayato Hayama raised his head and looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka seriously.

"As much as possible...is that so?" Yukino spoke up directly and sang a different tune, which was rare.

There was no way around it. Yukino had witnessed with her own eyes that Hayato Hayama's so-called efforts to help as much as possible only ended up making things worse and had the opposite effect.

"Uh..." Hayato Hayama naturally understood the hidden meaning behind Yukino's words. He was indeed a little inconsiderate when cooking, but...

"You can't do it!" Yukino Hayama Hayato was still not giving up, so he directly advised him to retreat.

However, if you simply deny it without offering a solution, then there is actually no need to speak. Yukino is not the kind of person who only speaks sarcastic remarks.

"Yukinoshita, what about you?"

Obviously, Shizuka Hiratsuka was very clear about this, so she gave Yukino such a stage.

"You said this event is also a training camp for the [Service Club]. Does that mean her problem is also included in the club activities?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka calmly lit a cigarette and took two puffs.

“Volunteer work at the forest school is also part of the activities, and in principle, it is a good idea to include it in the scope of activities.”

"Is that so?"

Yukino's eyes also became determined.

"If you want to help her, I will do everything I can to solve it!"
