I refuse to be a plagiarist

"Don't worry, there is always a way.

If it really doesn't work, then the worst that can happen is 'the best strategy is to run away'!"

Although escaping is shameful, it is a very effective method for the parties involved when they are faced with some problems and unable to solve them.

What's wrong with being an ostrich?

Even though ordinary people are paying close attention to housing price policies every day, haven't they seen prices not drop at all over the past decade?

When faced with some problems that cannot be solved by individuals, instead of staring at them all the time, it is better to just look at them, lie down and pretend they don't exist.

It’s time to eat, it’s time to drink, it’s time to play.

"...As a friend, you can take this as a piece of advice.

Hayasaka, promise me that you can be hard on anyone, but never on yourself.

Otherwise... it's too tiring."

“…..Okay, I understand.”

Rough words are not rough.

Faced with Hasegawa's "advice" which she didn't know whether it was good or bad, the girl was stunned for a moment, but then she felt a sudden sense of enlightenment.

The haze in my heart was swept away.

yes.......

People face things according to their level.

If you force yourself to face a problem that you are unable to handle, not only will you have little chance of success, but you will also pay a heavy price for it.

Although her job is the personal attendant of the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family, in essence, she is just one of the countless workers.

Thinking too much but not having the ability to solve it will only make you more tired.

Instead of continuing like this, it is better to face the existing problem and wait until you have enough ability to solve it quickly and in one go!

He let out a breath softly.

The girl sighed deeply, as if releasing all the pressure that had been accumulated in her chest over the years.

Seeing his friend's obvious change of letting go, Hasegawa showed a hint of joy on his face.

However, looking at the somewhat unfamiliar environment in front of him, at this moment, he gently shook the arm that was held in the other party's arms and asked in a low voice:

“But… Hayasaka, where exactly is this place?

Why does this place always feel a bit remote? "

From the moment the stalkers were discovered, the control of the walking route fell into the hands of the girl next to him.

It was not the right choice for two high school students to run to a strange place when they were being spied on by unknown people.

The expression on his face looked a little strange.

What Hasegawa was worried about at this moment was that the girl in front of him, because of her own thoughts, would accidentally take him to some remote place that was suitable for violent gangs to deal with corpses.

On a dark and windy night, people are killing people and setting fires.

Compared to the street where the two were originally in, the environment they were in now looked much more gorgeous and solemn, but there were very few pedestrians on the road.

The few who showed up sporadically were adults who looked ferocious and obviously not to be trifled with.

Facing Hasegawa's concerns, Hayasaka Ai, who felt the touch on her chest, came back to her senses and explained:

"Do not worry.

This is also a gang, but compared to the group that followed us, it is much larger and more powerful."

"ah?!

Aren't we just out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's lair?"

He also knew the story of the fox taking advantage of the tiger's might.

Obviously, compared to the beginning, the stalkers following them at this time were no longer as rampant as they were on the streets.

But the thing is…

"Do you think I'm some kind of idiot who likes to take risks?"

He raised the boy's chin expressionlessly.

In the face of Hasegawa's strange expression, the girl's eyes revealed a hint of mockery for the first time in her life:

“Relax.

You know, the Shinomiya family’s network of relationships extends beyond just business and politics.”

Chapter 55: Hasegawa's Strange Analogy

“Ah, so that’s how it is.

This time....thanks to you, Hayasaka."

He expressed his sincere gratitude to the girl in front of him.

After Hayasaka Ai's introduction, Hasegawa realized that this elite talent who appeared to be a 996 maniac actually came from a family that was truly a "famous family".

However, due to a wrong decision in the business world, after Hayasaka's family fell into decline, it was swallowed up by the giant Shinomiya family.

The gang in front of them is one of the gray forces cooperating with them.

“…For some reason, I asked them to help me solve the problem. It didn’t cost me anything. It was just something I could do.

So Hasegawa, this time, you don't have to feel any burden in your heart."

I was afraid that the guy in front of me would do something weird because of being too serious.

In response to Hayasaka's explanation that was for his own good, Hasegawa smiled knowingly and nodded slightly:

"Oh well.

But then again, Hayasaka, you looked pretty handsome when you hooked my chin just now.

Are you imitating the Bond girls in the movies?

"Humph~"

The girl did not express any clear attitude towards someone's compliment.

However, the slightly raised corners of her mouth, which were invisible to the other person, inadvertently revealed her inner joy.

Of course, Hasegawa himself didn't know about this scene.

But thanks to Hayasaka, the evidence that the guy was so angry that he wanted to entrust the gangsters to "educate" him has fallen into his hands.

In this way, the initiative of the entire incident completely shifted to their side.

What awaits that violent teacher is only life in prison...

————————————

"Then?"

"Of course, nothing happened after that."

The next day, Hasegawa came to Ishigami's house as agreed long ago, and together with the junior who had returned to class, he frantically rubbed the game controller in front of the screen.

Compared with boys and girls, boys always have more common topics, and there is more possibility for mutual understanding in terms of commonality.

Regarding what he experienced with Hayasaka Ai yesterday, apart from her hidden identity as the attendant of the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family, he simply shared it with this junior in the form of a story.

After hearing the ending of the story, Ishigami Yu stopped rubbing the handle instantly and looked at the man in front of him, whom he regarded as his idol, with an expression of disbelief.

"No way...Hasegawa-senpai."

Although this guy's situation in the class is similar to Hasegawa's, both are "lone wolves" who keep to themselves, but unlike Hasegawa, the former is passively alone for various reasons, while the former actively embraces loneliness while maintaining basic social interactions, allowing himself to focus more on the things he is focused on.

In fact, in the heart of this kind-hearted boy, he still has a certain degree of longing for embracing a sweet and pure love in this high school life that praises youth.

It was precisely because of this that Ishigami couldn't help but feel that it was a waste of resources for someone to part with the beautiful girl directly after finishing the job.

"Hasegawa-senpai......"

"What's wrong, Ishigami?

If you are a man, don't be hesitant and say what you want to say directly. We are not strangers.

and also.

Hurry up and operate, your character is about to die."

The burning desire to survive makes Hasegawa have a very harsh attitude towards teammates who play badly.

Faced with the sudden sharp look from his senior, Ishigami trembled with fear, then hurriedly grabbed the handle that fell on the tatami.

“Yes, yes!

But, Senior......"

"Ok?"

"What do you think of Hayasaka-senpai?"

He stammered and managed to utter these words.

Although it was clearly about someone else, the innocent Ishigami inevitably had a blush of shyness on his face when he said it.

For him, the topic of love is like his destined natural enemy, full of restraint.

"What do you think of Hayasaka?

Huh...interesting question."

He controlled his heavy sword warrior to kill the monster in front of him without any injury.

While collecting the spoils that fell, Hasegawa began to respond seriously to the question from his junior:

"very good."

"what?

This 'very good' means......."

"Easy, literally."

Facing Ishigami Yu's puzzled, doubtful and self-speculating expression, Hasegawa felt that this junior seemed to be imagining something else, so he stopped his divergent thinking that was good at fantasy in time and explained:

"First of all, we have known each other online for a long time, and after meeting in person, we found that there was not much difference in our previously revealed personalities.

And Hayasaka herself is a very capable and reliable person.

As her partner, I really can't find any flaws in her that I can criticize."

Seeing the young man in front of him still looking a little confused, Hasegawa Hide couldn't help but pat his head:

"Why, is it hard to understand?"

"Well, this... is a little bit..."

A hint of embarrassment appeared on his face.

For some reason, Ishigami Yu suddenly realized that discussing this issue with the senior in front of him was a rash decision.

The conversation remained highly rational throughout.

In his opinion, Hasegawa's description of Hayasaka Ai just now was more like an overview question than a comment on a person of the opposite sex.

The throbbing feelings between teenage boys and girls... I can't see them at all!

"Alas....I really can't do anything with you.

In this case, let me explain it to you with a more vivid and easy-to-understand example. "

He pointed his finger at the game screen that was still there.

Looking at the extremely serious expression of the junior in front of him, Hasegawa Hide nodded, and then began his wonderful analogy:

“You are the player in the game, and the companions around you can probably be considered as ‘battle partners’ who assist you in combat.

If Hayasaka is compared to a combat partner of mine (the player), my evaluation of her is 'comprehensive and reliable skill tree', 'excellent high-value panel', 'good mutual or excellent bond value'.

In other words, she is a reliable and trustworthy person to me.
