A classroom that relies on high technology to achieve excellence

"Really?"

"Because Mei was actually obsessed with Hirata, but then Karuizawa showed up and became Hirata's girlfriend, so Mei never liked Karuizawa."

I see. Your social circle is really messy. However, this reminds Kanda Shuichi that the fact that Karuizawa is dating Hirata alone has attracted a lot of enemies.

Maybe I should remind her, lest she unknowingly becomes the target of hostility from more people.

Since I promised to look after her, I still have to do these things.

"Good morning, Karuizawa-san, Matsushita-san, and Shinohara-san."

Kushida walked quickly to the front of the group and greeted them first.

"Ah, hello, Kushida-san." Karuizawa was the first to react and greeted Kushida, then he saw Kanda Shuichi walking towards him not far away.

"Huh!? Kushida-san really called Kanda-san out? Could it be that you two are in that kind of relationship?"

The girl named Matsushita also noticed Kanda Hideichi at this time and immediately showed a surprised expression.

"Ahaha, actually, since we had some conversation during the exam on the ship, Kanda-san isn't such a difficult student to get along with."

Kushida planned to play dumb and get away with it.

Kanda Shuichi also took this opportunity to walk over to them, and said in a tone as friendly as possible: "Hello, it's so sunny outside, you are willing to go out."

"Good morning, Kanda-san. About this, hey, I brought a parasol." Chiaki Matsushita said proudly as she took out an exquisite parasol from her handbag.

"Ah! Lend it to me later."

……

Perhaps because he was not familiar with Kanda Shuichi yet, he was quickly thrown aside after they greeted each other.

And Hideichi Kanda was also observing these three people. He had not had much contact with them before, so Hideichi Kanda didn't know much about them.

But just from this simple contact, Shuichi Kanda discovered their respective characteristics.

Although Karuizawa Megumi looks very strong, she pays great attention to the relationship in the small group and considers things very comprehensively, while Matsushita Chiaki seems to be deliberately cooperating with the two according to their rhythm, like a harmonizer. As for the remaining Shinohara, Kanda Hideichi's opinion is that he is an ordinary person.

As for Kushida, Kanda Shuichi already knew her background, so although he observed her, there was no need for analysis.

After chatting for a while, the group of four women and one man walked towards the Zelkova Shopping Center.

"By the way, have you decided what gifts to buy?"

Kanda Shuichi was not interested in the girls' topics. What he was interested in was when he could go back. It was tiring to accompany one girl shopping, let alone there were four of them.

Sorry, I can't bear it!

"Well, there is a store in the shopping street that sells gifts for girls. Let's go there and take a look."

That's good. If we have a destination, it will be easy. With a destination, choosing gifts is a piece of cake. At worst, we can just use our money to buy all the things they are hesitant about.

Apart from the gift given to Inogashira, the rest were given to them as gifts.

Kushida's words have helped me a lot, and he is still working hard now, so it is normal to reward him.

Karuizawa Kei's words were a conscious decision as an owner, that she should occasionally comfort the other party's emotions, so as to prevent her from feeling abandoned for no reason and causing trouble.

Chapter 147: The Gift for Kushida Found

Although he was pointed at and talked about by people on the street, Kanda Shuichi remained calm and followed Kushida and the others to the store they recommended.

As soon as he walked into the store, Shuichi Kanda felt that this store was for girls, especially high school girls.

The all-pink decoration and interior are full of cute girlish style. If a boy comes to this kind of store alone, unless he has a specific purpose of "picking gifts for girls", there is basically more than a 50% chance that he is a pervert.

Anyway, from Kanda Shuichi's point of view, he probably wouldn't enter this kind of store alone. Even if he had to come in to pick out a gift for a girl, he would definitely make a quick decision and pay after buying...

Wait, if you think so, then this store not only stimulates girls to spend points, but also does not let go of boys' wallets!

The shop assistant in this store was also a very pretty lady, but she was slightly inferior to the others he knew.

"welcome!"

Welcomed by the beautiful shop assistant, Kanda Shuichi followed Kushida and the others into the store. However, as soon as they entered the store, everyone went their separate ways to choose gifts.

Soon, Kushida and Kanda Shuichi were left alone.

"By the way, have you investigated what Inogashira-san likes?"

"Of course. If the gifts you spend your points on don't suit your partner's taste, wouldn't that be a waste?"

Kushida said this as a matter of course, but in the end he looked at Kanda Shuichi in confusion. Could it be that this guy has never even given a gift?

What a great opportunity!

"Shuichi, let's go take a look inside. There are a lot of good things in there, like phone cases, key chains, and dolls."

Looking at the excited Kushida, Kanda Shuichi had an illusion.

These things are probably not what Inogashira-san wants, but what you want, right?

But since we're already here, we might as well take a look around.

But before he and Kushida had taken two steps, they heard a familiar voice coming from around the corner.

"Listen carefully, that's Shinohara. If I dated a woman like that who's arrogant and unlovable, I would be so ashamed that I wouldn't even dare to leave the house! That would be a complete compromise! I absolutely don't want that."

Shinohara, you are talking about that Shinohara, right?

Kanda Hideichi glanced at Kushida and whispered, "This voice sounds familiar, who is it?"

"It's Ike-san, Ike Kanji, but I remember he seemed to care a lot about Shinohara when we were on the uninhabited island." Kushida also answered in a low voice cooperatively, mainly because the current atmosphere was not suitable for talking loudly.

Just think about it, when A says bad things about B behind his back and B happens to hear it, the scene will be so spectacular. If A and B happen to be of opposite sexes and B cares about A, what terrible things will happen.

In order not to miss this scene, Kanda Shuichi pulled Kushida and walked over quietly.

Then he discovered that not only Ike, but also his classmates Yamauchi and Ayanokouji were there, and the two of them were constantly winking at Ike who was standing beside them, but he couldn't tell that anything was wrong with them, and they were turning their backs to Shinohara and belittling him.

“Just, just say I know! Stop talking! Kanji! Because, um, behind you——”

"Ah? Behind?"

Finally, after Yamauchi's desperate reminder, Ike Kanji slowly turned his head and saw Shinohara whose eyes were about to spit fire.

Just when Kanda Shuichi was waiting to see the show, Shinohara just said angrily, "People like you, Ichi, better die!" and left angrily.

Alas, it’s not satisfying.

If Horikita was being scolded like this behind her back, she would have definitely elbowed the person in return.

After Shinohara left, Karuizawa glared at Ike and chased Shinohara out of the store, followed by Matsushita Chiaki.

After seeing them all leave, Kushida hesitated whether to chase after them.

Because if she chases after him, what will Kanda Shuichi do?

But she knew that Kanda Shuichi would definitely not be able to keep up with them.

"You go and have a look too, I'll walk around here for a while." He saw the other party's hesitation in an instant and gave him the best choice.

Kushida nodded, and then left the store.

And Kanda Shuichi walked around the store just as he said. He was not interested in Ike and the other guys.

Actually, Kanda Shuichi found it strange that Ayanokouji was hanging out with them.

After looking at the gadgets around him, Kanda Shuichi shook his head. He was not very satisfied with this. Kushida had helped him so much, it was too stingy to give him these things.

Just when Shuichi Kanda was about to walk further into the store, he saw a familiar figure...or rather, it was not a figure, but a head.

Kōhei Katsuragi, I heard that he had no hair due to some disease.

But at this time, the other party is wearing a school uniform. It is summer vacation now. If you don’t go to school, you usually won’t wear a uniform, right?

Feeling puzzled, Shuichi Kanda decided to go up and talk to him.

"Katsuragi, I haven't seen you for a few days."

Katsuragi, who was choosing a gift, turned around immediately after hearing Kanda Shuichi's voice and looked at Kanda Shuichi with some vigilance on his face.

"What do you want to do?"

Looking at the other person like this, Kanda Shuichi found it a little funny.

"You don't have to be so alert to me. It's summer vacation now and we have no conflict of interest. I just happened to see you here so I came to say hello."

After listening to Kanda Shuichi's words, Katsuragi seemed to think there was some truth in it, so he nodded and focused his attention on the shelves in front of him again.

Kanda Shuichi also picked up the small item in front of him and took a look. It was a box of chocolates, but it was too cheap. And if you wanted to give that kind of thing as a gift, wouldn’t it be better to give it on Valentine’s Day?

"Is this a gift for your girlfriend?"

While Kanda Shuichi was thinking about how to start the conversation, Katsuragi spoke first.

"No, we're just good friends for now. She helped me a lot recently, so I wanted to give her a gift to thank her."

Katsuragi nodded and did not continue asking questions, but continued to focus his attention on the shelves next to him.

"What about you? A girlfriend?"

"No, I didn't plan on having a girlfriend in high school." Katsuragi shook his head, and it seemed that he was not lying from his serious look.

"That's it."

Since the other party was unwilling to say, Kanda Hideichi did not intend to continue asking. It was meaningless and would only make people dislike him.

So he headed deeper into the store, looking for a gift for Kushida.

Then he saw something that a girl, not even a boy, might like.

Giant panda doll!

Kawaii!

That's it!

As a flower grower, he has no resistance to creatures like Rolling. In his previous life, he liked watching videos about Rolling. He didn't expect to meet a Rolling doll here!

And I heard that Japanese people don’t seem to have any resistance to giant pandas. Who wouldn’t like cute giant pandas?

Moreover, the size of this doll seems to be just right, probably about 1.2 meters tall, which makes him want one.

Looking at this adorable giant panda, Hideichi Kanda picked it up with a serious expression.

hairy!

The touch is very good, and very soft! Even just by feeling it, you can tell that the workmanship of this thing is very good.

Even that Kushida would like this thing, right? Even if she doesn't want it, it's not a loss for me to keep it!

Well, that's it!

After making up his mind, Hideichi Kanda walked to the checkout area holding the 1.2-meter-long giant panda doll.

When the clerk of this store saw Kanda Shuichi coming over with the only giant panda doll in the store, he quickly said, "Sir, do you need help putting it up?"

"Well, please."

Then, the clerk took out a big plastic bag from somewhere, took the giant panda from Shuichi Kanda, and prepared to stuff it into the big plastic bag.

Seeing this scene, Hideichi Kanda widened his eyes and immediately spoke up to stop it.

"Wait a minute! Are you going to put a giant panda this big into this plastic bag?"

"Yes, is there any problem? This is a vacuum compression bag. You just need to pump out the air inside and it will be very suitable for you to carry."

The clerk looked at Kanda Shuichi with some confusion.

"You said you wanted to put the panda in a compressed air bag and then pump out the air? Wouldn't that flatten it?"

How can you do such a cruel thing to giant pandas?

Damn it~!

Giant pandas can cry!

"No! You absolutely cannot do that! Isn't there a box that can hold it?"

Kanda Shuichi would never give in on this point.

"I do have a box, but if you put it in a box, it will be difficult for you to take it away by yourself."
