Faced with the blackened heroine, they actually stopped time

"That's right... And it's really awkward. I feel like I have nothing to talk about with her."

It seems to be an activity for collective honor, but in fact it is also a kind of social activity. Since it is a social activity, the feelings of both parties must be considered. Obviously, the appearance advantage at this moment will become a disadvantage in the eyes of these shy teenagers.

Just like many people actually think that it is difficult to pursue beautiful girls, but in fact, the probability is not that serious. There is also a situation where beautiful girls, everyone thinks so, but no one dares to pursue them boldly, and they are not difficult to pursue.

Only Kujo Nao and Asagiri Ran were left standing together.

But compared to Asagiri Sumiya's silence, Kujo Nao spoke with a smile.

"Oh, that's surprising. How come Asagiri-san didn't even come to choose one person? I thought you would reject several people in a row."

Asagiri Ran didn't expect this to happen, but she was able to react quickly and figure out the reason.

But there is inevitably some disappointment in my heart.

It seems...I am not suitable for group activities. Of course, she would not reflect on it. After all, although she knew that it was her usual personality that led to this result, she did not think she did anything wrong.

Even if she has no choice, she will not choose something she doesn't need.

Asagiri Ran looked at the other person.

"Then what's the reason why you rejected several people in a row and remained until the last one?"

Nao Kujo did have two male choices before, but she rejected them both, even the one who was my ex-sensei Ito.

It looks a little strange.

Kujo Nao smiled and looked ahead, but lowered her voice and spoke in a tone that only the two of them could hear.

"Of course, it's to embarrass Asagiri-san... After all, what will Asagiri-san do when it comes to the end? All eyes are on you. Look, I choose to make you the one who is the center of attention. Isn't that kind?"

Asagiri Ran could imagine that the other party hated her, but she didn't expect it to reach this point.

At this moment, she really wanted to send a message to a boy, a boy with incomparable looks but always bad-mouthed. But she was Asagiri Ran, she couldn't do that.

She just took a deep breath, and at this moment she didn't want to admit defeat.

She wants to make everyone look good for whom she wants to embarrass herself.

"Are you so sure that I'm the last one left?"

Kujo Nao smiled.

"If there are ten boys, you certainly won't be left alone. But please remember, Asagiri-san, you will never be the one chosen first. Remember, forever."

She really hated Asagiri Ryou.

I hate the way this girl acts like she has matured on her own, doesn't fit in with any circle, even ignores my own invitations, and looks at them as if they were a group of kids playing in the mud.

It was as if she was the only one sober among everyone else, which was really funny.

Besides being good-looking and having excellent grades, what are her strengths? If she wants to be an outlier, she must be prepared to be isolated, hated, and excluded.

"Now only Mr. Ito is left... Mr. Ito, which one are you going to invite?"

A teacher reminded Mr. Ito.

Teacher Ito looked at Amamiya Momiji with some hesitation.

"There is still one person missing. What should we do with the remaining one?"

Amamiya Momiji spoke in a very formal and even somewhat cold tone.

"Originally, Oreki-san promised to be back before dinner, so we didn't make this arrangement. But if he doesn't make it back in time... the group game won't sacrifice the time of others just because of him. So, Mr. Ito, you make the first choice. The one left alone... may be forced to withdraw regretfully."

"Isn't this a bit too cruel? Although there are no other male teachers, but..."

Teacher Ito couldn't bear it.

Amamiya Momiji shook her head.

"Cruelness is also a part of life. Moreover, just like in the future, each of us needs to pay for our previous choices. This is also part of the life course...Okay, Mr. Ito, don't waste time."

Teacher Ito had no choice but to take a deep breath and walk towards the two girls.

Kujo Nao was still smiling, and Asagiri Ryou looked ahead calmly.

Although she is a person who never gives up, but at this moment...she has no hope.

Then I heard Mr. Ito, who walked up to me, sighed silently and said.

"Asagiri-san, I'm so sorry."

Asagiri Ran's expression is like that of a robot, a poker face without any emotion.

"It's ok."

She said this so calmly, without a trace of loneliness.

"Then I choose Kujo-san."

"Thank you, Mr. Ito~"

It was as if the result was expected. Kujo Nao knew human nature very well, so she was so sure that Asagiri Ryou would be the one who stayed.

Because Teacher Ito is the homeroom teacher of their class, although Asagiri Sakura is also a classmate of theirs, their relationship is obviously better with Kujo Nao. She will not forget Teacher Ito even when she brings back some specialties from traveling to share with her classmates.

So who would be willing to hurt someone who is closer to them when it is bound to hurt someone? Besides, my family is considered wealthy, so whether in terms of benefits or closeness, it will definitely be me.

Suddenly, there was a whisper.

"Hey... the one left is Asagiri-san, what should we do?"

"Where is Oreki Gen? He hasn't been seen all day. Did he quit? Wouldn't that be embarrassing for Asagiri-san?"

"I don't know... but it should be expected. After all, Asagiri-san is usually not sociable... She looks down on us anyway, right?"

"Then I can only say that she deserved it... No one deliberately excluded her. Normally, she doesn't give face to anyone."

The same scene that Kujo Nao imagined appeared.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Asagiri Ran, who remained silent, but how could they miss this opportunity?

She smiled at the girl.

"Oh...it seems I was accidentally right, Asagiri Sakura...how about I give it to you?"

Asagiri Ran just glanced at her without saying a word.

This attitude was interpreted by Kujo Nao as arrogance.

The fire in my heart is burning namelessly.

She turned her head and looked at Amamiya Momiji not far away.

"Teacher Amamiya, should we start now?"

Amamiya Momiji looked over calmly.

"It's almost time, but Asagiri-san..."

Kujo Nao said somewhat dissatisfiedly.

"There's no one else here now. Since Oreki-san is away on some business, do we have to wait for him forever? There are so many people here."

This is clearly a hint of heckling.

Several girls immediately understood and echoed in a low voice.

Amamiya Momiji shook her head.

"In that case, Asagiri-san, I think I can only ask you to watch the game. After all, if you are alone, you can't participate... For the sake of fairness..."

"I can go alone."

But what Asagiri Ran said at this time was surprising.

Kujo Nao could hardly hold back her laughter.

"Are you sure you want to be this stubborn? It's not something to be ashamed of, right? After all, you don't usually like to participate in group activities. Isn't it weird that you want to participate at this time?"

It's just a slap in your own face.

But Asagiri Ran was very unhappy.

Although she once looked forward to the appearance of that young man, she knew that when she expected a so-called miracle, she had already given up.

Besides, what reason did Oreki Gen have to show up now? He had no obligation to resolve every difficulty he had, and he had no right to ask for that.

It was her own choices that led to all of this. Of course...just because she sees things clearly doesn't mean she will just swallow her anger.

She can ignore other people's opinions, but that doesn't mean she has to endure her temper, she doesn't resist at all.

She never admits defeat and never wants to admit defeat. No matter how difficult it is or how hard it seems to be, she wants to let those who are watching her know that she can do it.

There was absolutely no way that I could withdraw in disgrace and look aggrieved as they hoped.

Amamiya Momiji sighed.

"That's not necessary... It's too hard to be alone."

Nao Kujo suppressed the wild upward curl of her lips.

"Asagiri-san is such a stubborn person... If you really want to join, go ask other groups if they are willing to switch with you, or accept your joining. You look too pitiful when you are alone... I can't bear to do anything to you."

Asagiri Ran was indeed provoked, but she knew that she must not lose her composure.

Otherwise, this would be truly pitiful and embarrassing.

She doesn't need anyone's sympathy, but what can she do at this moment?

Quit and accept? She didn't like this and didn't like to admit defeat, but the other party's words seemed to tie her to a moral high ground. Tearing her down was the same as bullying her? It seemed that she was being pitiful, which was even more embarrassing.

It seems that the difficulties in life have reappeared.

My usual eccentricity seemed to be bearing bitter fruit again at this moment.

But she didn't think she was wrong. People can choose their own lives. Why should she care about whether she can fit in with the group? Why should she put on a smile and follow other people's circles? Why?

A huge sense of injustice.

It seems like everything is brewing into grievances.

She didn't want to be like this, but she was just a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old.

What can she do? How can she persist?

My fists seemed to be clenched uncontrollably, and this calmness seemed to be on the verge of collapse, but there was still no way.

Those looks... those subtle comments... those people watching the fun...

And the smile of Nao Kujo right in front of me, like a winner...

At this point... Damn.

"I'm sorry for being late. Um... Asagiri Ran, I'll have to ask you to come with me."

It was like a ray of light that had parted the dark clouds.

It was impossible for the skylight to appear in the dark night.

Normally I hate it, but at this moment it seems like a voice of hope...

Like last night.

But not last night, but now.

She raised her head, her vision blurred as she looked at the familiar figure, which appeared from far away to near...

Why is it him again?

Fortunately, he still has...

(I’m amazing! There are no breaks, and it’s nearly 7,000 words!! I’m amazing. I should have divided it into two chapters to count as an extra chapter. I kind of regret it. Woohoo.)

51: Twist it off!

Oreki Gen's sudden appearance was like a boulder thrown into a pond.

What was rising was no longer ripples, but huge waves like a fountain.

And he really did show up, which surprised and surprised everyone at that moment.

Even Amamiya Hongye initially thought that the other party would not come, after all, he did not reply to any message, and now he appeared in this way... He is really amazing! Just go!
