Faced with the blackened heroine, they actually stopped time

He seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Oreki Gen said naturally, "It's interesting to call him Matsuyama Shouta."

Sakuraba Mitsuki shook his head.

“There’s a lot of drama.”

(I’m thinking about whether to ask for monthly tickets to update more chapters. Although they haven’t been uploaded yet, I still have a lot of manuscripts in stock. Hmm~)

30: I am Sakuraba Mitsuki!

"Adolescent boys are like this. They just lower themselves in exchange for attention and friendship."

Oreki Gen was of course aware of this kind of psychological activity.

It cannot be said that there is too much drama, it’s just that most people of this age don’t understand that only by working hard to improve their own value will they find that the things they want will come to them automatically without so much effort.

On the other side, Sakuraba Mitsuki was leaning back in his chair, still looking at the boy with a condescending attitude.

"So you're like this too?"

Oreki Gen was eating as if no one was around, as if it didn't matter whether Sakuraba Mitsuki was in front of him or not.

He was not like the envious eyes around him, who wanted to do a messy backflip in front of the girl to get her attention.

"It's not necessary. I don't need too much attention. I'm not like Sakuraba-san, who is the center of attention wherever she goes. It's actually fine to be just ordinary."

Sakuraba Jianyue sneered contemptuously.

"You are not ordinary, Oreki Genji. Many people have said that you are actually considered a handsome guy."

In your words?

What does it mean to be considered a handsome guy?

There’s no one in the whole school who’s more handsome than you!

Oreki Gen didn't refute.

He just answered vaguely while eating, "Yeah, yeah... I'm also troubled. I can't be a normal person. But it's not my fault that I'm handsome. It's really troublesome."

He is unscrupulously narcissistic and doesn't seem to worry at all about arousing the other person's disgust.

Sakuraba Jianyue frowned impatiently, then seemed to feel that such words had no effect at all, so he spoke directly.

"How do you think about the previous things?"

Oreki Gen looked at Sakuraba Mitsuki strangely.

"What happened before?"

"Being my model."

The girl's eyes looked cold, as if she was going to take some special measures if the other party's answer did not satisfy her.

Oreki Gen thought about it.

"Is that it? I've shown you everything about the situation. There's nothing else to observe, right? And now that it's like this, Sakuraba-san's sense of novelty should have worn off. Aren't you tired of playing yet?"

Sakuraba frowned when he saw Yue.

"Do you think I'm just after the novelty?"

Oreki Gen replied as a matter of course.

"Otherwise, I really can't think of what I'm obsessed with for a girl like Sakuraba. First of all, there will definitely be no shortage of handsome guys around you. As long as you want, countless boys will flock to you like bees around a hive. Secondly, if it wasn't for the novelty, why would Sakuraba specifically look for me? Isn't it because I look different from others and I don't want Sakuraba to have too much contact with me?"

Sakuraba Mitsuki stared straight at the boy.

"Why don't you want to have too much contact with me?"

Oreki Gen smiled.

"I am a very self-aware person. After all, I have nothing but handsomeness. The gap in status is too big. If I get too close to her, I will be unable to extricate myself. Then the huge gap in status will become an obstacle and I will still get hurt. Or I will use up Sakuraba-san's novelty. Because of the close contact, I will gradually lose myself and there will be nothing that will interest Sakuraba-san anymore. The ending will not be very good, right?"

Oreki Ken took a bite of fresh tuna.

"So, this is a way of self-protection. I hope Sakuraba-san can understand."

Will Sakuraba Mitsuki understand?

What a joke? She didn't understand, on the contrary, she thought it seemed even funnier.

She even gave a charming and dangerous smile.

"So you have always been thinking about me and yourself in this way. Don't you have any thoughts at all? For example, in such contact, try to conquer me, or even dominate me. While I still have some interest in you, make me unable to extricate myself from you?"

Oreki Gen shook his head.

"Maybe in Sakuraba-san's eyes, someone like me might be the epitome of a playboy. But in fact, if we really get to know each other, I might be the first one to fall deeply in love. I am always sincere and serious about relationships. So I won't bet on such a possibility."

"I see... I don't think you're brave at all."

"I am a person who follows my heart. I am really sorry."

Nonsense, how can you take the bait if you don't show weakness first? Do you think the harem is my home and I can open it whenever I want?

After a moment of silence, Sakuraba Mitsuki curled the corners of his mouth.

　 "Don't you know that the more you act like this, the more interested I am in you?"

He was really frank, as if affection or feelings were not something difficult to talk about in Sakuraba Mizuki's world, and emotions were either not expressed in words or revealed completely.

Wow, this is a diode.

Oreki Gen shook his head. "Before we really get to know each other, maybe Sakuraba-san will be interested. But after we get to know each other, I will lose my original carefreeness and the qualities that you are interested in because of my devotion. Then Sakuraba-san will find that I am actually nothing special and just boring and ordinary."

That's right, all the interests are laid out on the table beforehand. This is Oreki Tsune's strategy.

These things can only be said when the relationship is not deep. Once the relationship is deep, everything you say will seem like a deception.

Sakuraba Mizuki narrowed his eyes.

"If I really have to do this, I have to see if you become more ordinary or more interesting after getting to know you better."

Oreki Gen shrugged.

"I can't stop Sakuraba-san from approaching me, but I think if Sakuraba-san were to approach me like this, I would probably find a girlfriend pretty soon."

Sakuraba narrowed his eyes when he saw the moon.

"What if I tell you that you can't stop me even if you find a girlfriend? On the contrary, it will bring some uncertain dangers to the girlfriend you find. Boyfriends and girlfriends can break up, but money and power are always here, right?"

Just show your true face?

Because this kind of affection and interest is not even love, you can threaten me so directly. You are worthy of it, Sakuraba Mitsuki.

Oreki Gen sighed as if he was somewhat helpless.

"Sakuraba-san, I must admit that you are very beautiful and attractive."

"so what?"

Sakuraba Jianyue took the chopsticks and put them between his lips, not knowing whether it was intentional or unintentional.

But when she bit the chopsticks lightly and looked at herself, it was as if an unknown fire was boiling and burning, eroding her nerves and all her blood vessels.

She is really charming, but it's a pity that she will be dismembered.

Oreki Gen calmed down and shook his head.

"But I'm sorry, the prettier the food, the more dangerous it is. So please don't waste your time on me, Sakuraba-san. I'm done eating, so please help yourself, Sakuraba-san."

Oreki was about to stand up, but—

"Snapped."

Sakuraba Mizuki directly pressed Oreki Gen's hand, holding it tightly to prevent him from leaving while raising her eyes.

Looking at myself with a smile.

"No matter what your reasons are, the more you disobey me, the more interested I am. If you keep this attitude, I will use my abilities on you day after day. You can look forward to it."

“Please let go.”

Oreki Gen didn't give a direct answer.

Even if the emotions expressed by the other person now are the same as what you expected, it is better to say that this is the effect you want.

Pretending to be difficult really depends on acting skills...

"I'm Sakuraba Mitsuki, why should I listen to you?"

Sakuraba Mizuki not only did not let go, but even used more force as if he wanted to crush Oreki Ken's palm.

And at this stalemate.

"Sakuraba-san and Oreki-san...are you openly dating in school?"

The two turned their heads almost at the same time.

I saw a smiling woman standing beside me, wearing a teacher's uniform and full of mature charm.

Amemiya red leaves...

31: Our little secret

School cafeteria at noon.

Where most eyes are focused.

A three-person stage play?

It is natural for everyone's eyes to be focused here. No matter whether they are men or women, they seem to have reason to stop eating at this moment and watch what is happening here.

After all, whether it is Sakuraba Mitsuki or Amemiya Koha, they are the type that will attract attention wherever they go.

He is simply the protagonist with his own spotlight.

Oreki Gen is also quite famous in the entire Sakura Metropolitan High School.

It's just that compared to these two women, he seems a little more low-key.

When these three people stand together, it seems that some lingering plots can be automatically imagined...

Three people, triangle.

A lot of melodramatic things can be conjured up at once.

Sakuraba Mitsuki was obviously unhappy about being interrupted so suddenly that she didn't even loosen her hand.

He just turned his head and looked at Amamiya Momiji.

"who are you?"

The tone was as arrogant and contemptuous as ever.

Amamiya Koha seemed to know Sakuraba Mitsuki's identity, but she didn't seem to be afraid and just kept smiling.

"Amamiya Koha, Oreki Gen's homeroom teacher, is a recent transfer. It's normal that Sakuraba-san doesn't know me, but I know you."

Sakuraba Mitsuki narrowed his eyes and slowly looked at Amamiya Koha.

Although what the other person said was normal, it is normal for a teacher to deal with a student's suspected love issue.

But women's intuition is quite sharp. She felt at the first moment that this woman she met for the first time definitely did not come to them for such a simple reason.

"I remember that there is no explicit rule in the school that prohibits dating. Besides, Oreki Gen and I are just ordinary friends."

Sakuraba Mitsuki said this very calmly.

And Amamiya Momiji smiled.

"Of course there are no explicit rules for this kind of thing. It just so happens that I'm very concerned about Oreki-san's recent grades, so I still hope that he can focus on studying for the time being. Is that normal? But you said that we are just ordinary friends, and your hands haven't been loosened until now. Is that appropriate?"

His eyes fell on the two people's hands that were still folded together.

Sakuraba Mitsuki still showed no intention of letting go of his hand, but Oreki Gen was the first to pull his hand away.

Sakuraba Kentsuki turned his head and glared at Oreki Gen.
