We should also learn from Chuunibyou

Xia Chuan's heart trembled, and he followed him all the way to the school gate. Seeing that he was still walking forward, he could not help but quicken his pace and came to the position in front of him, wanting to call him.

However, before she could say anything, Hayakawa passed by her with an expressionless face and walked to the other end of the street.

"..."

Natsukawa Masuzu looked in the direction Hayakawa went. She knew the tram stop was not there, and he had never been interested in shopping, so he must be doing something else.

What is he going to do?

Natsukawa Masuyoshi was confused, so she followed Hayakawa from a distance through the crowd. She stared at the boy's tall back, walked past the shop filled with colorful snacks, walked past the numerous cram schools next to the school, and walked past the door of the ramen shop with various small advertisements posted on it.

After walking for about ten minutes, Hayakawa turned around and stared at Natsukawa Masuzu, looking at her in silence.

"Stop following me."

Hayakawa said this calmly and turned away.

Natsukawa Masuyoshi stood still as if he was under a spell and had no courage to follow.

She stood there for a while, then turned around dejectedly and wanted to go back. She looked around and found that the tall buildings around her seemed to look exactly the same. The girl stood there and stared at those strange-shaped billboards until she found a huge screen that looked familiar. Then she hesitantly walked back the way she came.

She turned her head and took a look. Hayakawa's back had already disappeared. She couldn't help but sigh softly, feeling indescribably complicated.

She really didn't expect Hayakawa to be so sad. After all, he had taken seven exams, big and small, since the beginning of the school year, and Hayakawa had already lost seven times. After experiencing so many failures, he should have gotten used to it, if not given up.

But he can't seem to get used to it...

So he would be very sad every time.

……

Hayakawa, carrying his schoolbag, walked aimlessly along the roadside for a long time alone.

He lowered his head, feeling indescribably gloomy, and a deep sense of fatigue surged from his body to his mind.

The fact that he worked so hard for a month but his ranking dropped made him feel powerless and sad.

Maybe I should leave.

"Ugh…"

He walked along sighing, but saw a bar on the side of the road. He hesitated for a moment and then walked in.

Chapter 143 Wine and Stone

It was a very conspicuous bar. The blue billboard was particularly eye-catching in the brightly lit all-glass building. On the top of the brightly lit sign was engraved the words "Liquor Museum". A few drunken men and women were leaving the door together.

Hayakawa quietly looked at the men and women in strange costumes, then looked up at the sign above his head and walked into the bar.

Upon entering, there is a vestibule where one can put things, with various floral installations in the middle and various nude oil paintings of scantily clad women on the walls, using art to cover up and exaggerate the erotic atmosphere.

Hayakawa felt disgusted after taking a look. He hated the men and women at the door and the paintings on the wall. It was the same even though he came here. After all, he just wanted to come here to buy some wine, not to fool around.

Yes, Hayakawa wants to buy some wine.

He was in a bad mood...so he wanted to buy some wine and get himself drunk so that he could forget everything.

Passing through the lobby, the lights inside the bar are dim, and a band is playing jazz on the stage. The dancers on the stage are swaying their bodies to the rhythm. The lazy and intoxicating sounds surround the space of the bar, making people's blood boil.

Hayakawa didn't even look in that direction, he went straight to the bar, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and

A young bartender in a white shirt and black vest was called over.

"Make me a few drinks."

Hayakawa said expressionlessly: "It has to be strong enough to intoxicate people."

"you…"

The bartender frowned and looked at Hayakawa, hesitantly saying: "Student, you are not yet an adult, how did you get in? We are not allowed to sell alcohol to minors."

"I'm an adult."

Hayakawa said in a calm tone.

"..."

The bartender looked at Hayakawa's uniform and thought, "Isn't this the uniform of the nearby Ichinose High School? Are you taking me for a fool?"

Hayakawa also realized this, so he took off his school uniform top as if nothing had happened and continued to look at the bartender.

The young bartender's mouth twitched, and he reached out to call someone over to drive this arrogant guy away.

"I am an adult,"

Seeing this, Hayakawa took out a stack of Fukuzawa Yukichi's notes from his wallet and stuffed them into the hand of the person in front of him: "Don't bother me."

"..."

The bartender pinched the money in his hand and knew from the thickness that it was at least one month's salary. So after a brief silence, he put on a flattering smile and said, "Sir, you look really young."

Hayakawa didn't say anything, but reached out and took the wine list, indicating that he wanted to order some wine.

"How do you feel about the brightness? Do you want me to turn it down a bit?"

The bartender attentively helped Hayakawa adjust the brightness of the bar, and then introduced the wine to Hayakawa: "This one..."

Hayakawa casually ordered two nice-looking cocktails, and then the bartender suddenly said in an ambiguous tone: "Sir, you just said you wanted an intoxicating drink. May I ask if you want to drink it yourself or give it to another lady? If it's the latter, I can prepare some small surprises for you..."

As he said this, the bartender winked at Hayakawa with an expression that showed he understood everything.

"……No,"

Hayakawa didn't understand, but his intuition told him that he was a little annoyed by what the man in front of him was saying, so he said expressionlessly: "I'll drink it myself."

Drinking alone?

"Okay, sir."

Although the young bartender felt strange, he was very professional. He responded and went to make the cocktails.

He would prepare a cocktail that would sober him up according to the request of the financial sponsor.

……

Nakano Yotsuba was walking on the street bored, gently kicking a stone under her feet, making it roll far away, then she chased after it and continued kicking.

She often played this game when she was a child. She would find an unlucky stone of the right size and shape, and then kick it all the way. The stone would follow wherever it went until it disappeared. Then, Siye would go home contentedly, but sometimes, when she looked up, she would find that she was lost.

Siye used to get lost often because of this game, but she still enjoyed it. Even in high school, she would often kick the stones under her feet unconsciously.

This stone was kicked by Siye from the school gate and rolled all the way to this strange place, as if guiding her.

Nakano Yotsuba's backpack slipped to her elbow and hung on her arm in a lazy posture. She herself looked absent-minded, kicking the stones intermittently with her feet, and her expression seemed very depressed.

The reason she was depressed was because of the appearance of Tsuchiya.

Yotsuba knew Doma Yui. After all, she and Hayakawa were elementary school classmates, and naturally she was also elementary school classmates with Umaru-chan.

When she saw Koumaro in school for the first time, especially after seeing her name and confirming her identity, Yotsuba was so scared that the green ribbon withered. After all, although she adhered to the principle of "no meeting between harems" in elementary school and had no connection with Tsuchima Yui, her identity as a quintuplet was still very conspicuous in elementary school, and Tsuchima Yui was most likely still remembering her.

If she recognized me, wouldn't I be exposed in front of Hayakawa? !

So she tried her best to avoid Doma Mai these days, and also secretly observed Doma Mai, for fear that she would discover her.

However, through this observation, Yotsuba discovered that Umaru-chan and Hayakawa had recognized each other.

Hayakawa remembered Umaru-chan, but had forgotten himself.

This fact made Nakano Yotsuba very disappointed and sad.

"..."

Yotsuba raised her head and forgot about the stone under her feet. She said to herself, "After all, so much time has passed. Besides, I have been deliberately not in contact with Hayakawa. It is normal that he does not remember me."

Yotsuba said this to comfort herself, but her expression became more and more lonely. She clearly remembered Komari but she had completely forgotten herself. This obvious fact made it impossible for Yotsuba to deceive herself.

But I can't blame Hayakawa for this... Does it mean that if I remember him, he must remember me? It's all because I don't have the courage to recognize him.

But Nino likes Hayakawa, so I can't...

And even if we recognize each other, what will happen? I am just an insignificant little Clover, no one remembers me, and doing something unnecessary will only embarrass everyone.

"Yotsuba, you can't cause trouble for the sisters."

Siye said to herself softly, then she let out a long sigh and looked around with relief. Suddenly, she looked confused: "Huh? Where is this?"

Nakano Yotsuba stared blankly at the brightly lit streets around her, and subconsciously looked at the ground for the stone that brought her here, but found that it had been kicked away long ago.

It looks like I need to take a taxi.

Nakano Yotsuba secretly cursed herself for being an idiot, as she had promised not to cause trouble for her sisters.

"Ugh…"

She sighed and walked to the side of the road to stop a car.

As she was walking, her body staggered and she seemed to have kicked something inexplicable.

Chapter 144: Warm Indoors

"..."

For a moment, Siye thought he had found the stone he had just seen. He kicked it subconsciously, but felt the touch of a human body. He looked down subconsciously, but found a person sitting on the side of the road. He was immediately startled.

"Aaaaahh! S-Sorry! I wasn't paying attention to the road!"

Yotsuba screamed and bowed repeatedly to apologize. The man also looked up at her and the two of them looked at each other.

"Haya...Hayakawa?"

Nakano Yotsuba was stunned. How could the person she was thinking about suddenly appear?

"What... It's Yotsuba."

Hayakawa's face was flushed with drunkenness. When he saw the girl, he smiled and said tiredly, "It's so late, what are you doing here?"

"This is my line!"

Siye immediately leaned over and tried to help him up from the ground. When she got closer, she smelled the pungent smell of alcohol with a fruity aroma on Hayakawa. She was immediately incredulous and asked, "Did you go to the bar to drink?"

"hold head high…"

Hayakawa responded dejectedly: "That's really not a good place. You must never go there again."

He raised his head and looked at Yotsuba. His dark eyes sparkled with clear light like stones cleansed by water, like stars cutting through the darkness.

"..."

Siye had mixed feelings. She found it hard to imagine someone like Hayakawa coming out to drink.

Something very sad must have happened to him!

"Get up from the ground first."

Nakano Yotsuba put Hayakawa's arms on her shoulders and used her body to lift him up. It felt a little heavy, but it was bearable.

"Why did you come here? What happened?"

Nakano Yotsuba helped Hayakawa sit on a chair by the roadside, then lowered her head to help him brush off the dust on his body, and said hurriedly: "If you encounter any problems, just tell me, I will definitely help."

Her helpful Yotsuba will always help someone in trouble, no matter whether it is Hayakawa or not.

"I'm cold, sleepy, and nauseous,"

Hayakawa looked depressed and spoke incoherently, "What God did not give me, no matter how tightly I hold my arms, will still slip away. What God gave me, no matter how hard I struggle, I can't get rid of. But it doesn't matter, my heart is free. No matter how sad I am, there will be a day to heal. Maybe it's right for me to choose to leave..."

Yotsuba listened quietly to Hayakawa's chattering, and actually felt a little happy in her heart, because perhaps these words could only be heard by her and no one else could hear them.

Be it Nino, Fumino, Rizu, or even Himouto-kun, no one can hear it. Only I can hear it!

Only four leaves can...

"what…"

Nakano Yotsuba was startled, wondering what she was thinking. She hesitated for a moment and reached out her hand to gently touch Hayakawa's back to calm him down. Her tone of voice naturally became gentle as she spoke: "Don't be sad, I will always be by your side no matter what..."

As she was talking, she couldn't continue and lowered her head with a slightly red face.

Hayakawa looked at her for a long time, then sighed and shook his head: "What use is there for a fool like you around me?"
