Tokyo Soft Rice King

Sumitomo Ryota immediately bent down and stretched out his hand, assuming a humble attitude.

He seemed a little afraid of this Saionji-san.

Saionji-san stroked his chest and gave his full name.

"I'm the current student council president of Bai Lily Girls' High School. My name is Saionji Machiru. Please give me your guidance."

She ended up being the student union president, which suited her temperament.

Baibaihe Girls' High School is also a girls' high school with a very high deviation value in Chiyoda, and it is not far from Hibiya High School where Kuroba Akira and others attend. Therefore, you can often hear boys in the class talking nonsense, saying that they want to date the female students of Baibaihe Girls' High School, or that they want to go into the girls' school's restroom to take a look.

For boys, a girls' high school is a place full of fantasy, and the name of the school is also very imaginative... lilies in bloom or something like that.

Since Saionji Machiko introduced herself first, everyone else present also gave their names.

"My name is Murasakimiya Shion."

"Hehe, my name is Tashiro Hongxiang."

"Domo, Kuroba Akira desu."

When Sumitomo Ryouta heard that the two people traveling with Kuroba Akira had different surnames from him, he showed a look of concern.

If she's not my sister... is she a distant relative? I hope so.

If he wasn't a relative, then Xiaotong would be in real danger... This classmate Zi Zhimiya is too threatening.

Because he himself had been heartbroken, he hoped that the person he had loved could find happiness smoothly, and he felt that Kuroba Akira was the most suitable person to be with Asato Hitomi, because he had never seen Hitomi open her heart to a boy to this extent...

Sumitomo Ryota has already become a fan of Mingtong CP.

However, the most crucial Xiaotong is not present now... Thinking of this, Sumitomo Ryota decided to act as a wingman and provide some off-field assistance.

"Oh, by the way, Ah Ming and Xiao Tong are good friends now. He even joined the Arts Club that Xiao Tong is in. He's the only boy in the club now!"

You really are bringing up things that are not related to the topic!

Kuroba Ming rolled his eyes and wanted to choke Sumitomo Ryouta.

He would never mention anything about school when he was at home, mainly because he was afraid that Zi Zhigong would feel unbalanced. After all, the current Zi Zhigong had sacrificed his youth as a student to embark on a professional path.

If she were to start thinking about going back to school again, her plans would be significantly delayed, and she might even go bankrupt.

The topic started by Ryota Sumitomo was like a big stone thrown into a calm lake, causing a thousand ripples.

After hearing the key information, Zi Zhigong had several questions in his mind.

Did Mingjun join the Literature and Art Department?

Ah, so that's why I started writing novels... It was an activity of the literature club, right?

The most important thing is... Tong.

It sounds like a girl's name, and it is said to be Mingjun's good friend.

This Sumitomo classmate also said that Mingjun is the only boy in the Arts Club...so it must be a girl.

It is not surprising that Mingjun has female friends at school. Someone as capable as Mingjun must have many friends.

But... a good female friend... could also develop into a lover, right?

Unlike herself, there should be no mutual interests between Mingjun and her, so there is no need to worry even if they are in a relationship.

……don't want!

So annoying...!

I don’t want Mingjun to have an affair with other women... I don’t want to see this kind of scene at all!

Having just realized that his relationship was unlikely to progress, and now hearing this 'bad news', Zi Zhigong's mood plummeted to the bottom, with a surge of jealousy burning his entire chest, and he suddenly felt chest tightness and shortness of breath.

"Oh? So Kuroba-san and Hitomi are friends?"

Saionji Machiko was also a little surprised, but what made Saionji Machiko even more incredible was that Sumitomo Ryouta was actually willing to share this matter.

She knew that Sumitomo Ryouta had been secretly in love with Asato Hitomi since childhood, so Asato Hitomi's departure was the biggest blow to him. It was also from that time that Sumitomo Ryouta dyed his hair yellow.

Given Sumitomo Ryouta's personality, if his confession was successful and he started dating Xiaotong, he would definitely show off this meeting to his childhood friends, and then try to repair the relationship between Xiaotong and himself and others. However, he didn't mention Xiaotong just now, which means that he probably hasn't confessed yet, or his confession failed.

And now he could actually say naturally that Kuroba-san and Xiaotong were good friends, and even had a hint of "matchmaking" in his voice...

It seems that Ryouta has given up on Xiaotong and instead supports this classmate Kuroba and Xiaotong to be together.

Precisely because they are childhood sweethearts, Saionji Makoto was able to correctly analyze Sumitomo Ryouta's true thoughts based on just this one sentence, and believed that Kuroba Akira was a trustworthy person.

So Saionji Makoto smiled and extended his hand to Kuroba Akira in a friendly manner.

"Kuroba-san, thank you for being willing to be friends with Tong. Although Tong chose to leave us, I believe she had her own difficulties. Leaving her friends must be very painful for the gentle Tong, so it's great to have you as a new friend."

"I didn't do anything...but the monitor did have her own difficulties, and I want to thank you for believing in her."

It wasn't a good idea to ask a girl to keep extending her hand, so Hei Yuming politely shook hands with her.

Zi Zhigong stared at their clasped hands and pursed his lips.

Only Tashiro Hongxiang noticed her unhappiness.

Oh my...it smells so strong like vinegar, so sour.

Ming...Brother Baizi, it seems you have a lot of luck with women in this life...

But be careful, don’t let it turn into a romantic disaster, okay?

Chapter 110: The Purple Palace that Goes Its Own Way

After shaking hands, Saionji Makoto wanted to bring the topic back to Murasaki Nomiya.

She was not worried about Anri Hitomi because she knew that Anri Hitomi had been very outstanding since childhood and could solve problems by herself.

Mamoru Saionji believes that as the student council president, he needs to care about his classmate Murasaki Nomiya.

"Mr. Murasaki, you haven't been to school for a week since the start of this semester. I've also asked the teacher, and he said he hasn't received any news about you dropping out or transferring, nor has he received any application for leave of absence..."

Having said that, she paused and said with a worried look.

"So I'd like to ask, why didn't you come to school? Did something happen?"

"This has nothing to do with you."

Zi Zhigong's reply was extremely cold. She was still unhappy that Hei Yuming shook hands with her.

Kuroba Akira, who was listening on the side, felt heartbroken for Saionji Makoto.

How heartless, Miss Ziyin. She is your classmate after all, and she cares about you. At least be nicer to her.

However, Saionji Machiko is not the type of person who would give up after hitting a wall once. She once again tried to touch the wall of Murasaki Nomiya's heart.

"I know you've been subjected to a lot of rumors at school. Some girls are very unfriendly to you and have even engaged in invisible bullying against you... I want to know, is this the reason why you're not coming to school?"

The so-called invisible bullying is to indirectly and covertly exclude and maliciously slander others through verbal behavior or by forming cliques. To put it bluntly, it is gossiping behind others' backs.

In fact, this kind of bullying is the most common bullying behavior in schools. It is not just direct beatings, physical violence, robbery, etc. that are considered bullying.

It is very difficult for teachers to detect and manage this invisible bullying, and even the students themselves may be deeply involved in it without realizing it.

Beautiful people are envied, and since Zi Zhigong attends a girls' school, she will definitely become the target of public criticism.

However, Hei Yuming felt that Zi Zhigong should not care about what other people think of her at all, because she always knew what her appearance would bring to her.

"Saionji-san, we're not even friends, right? Why are you so concerned about me?"

"As the student council president and your classmate, I have an obligation to understand the situation of every student. If you encounter any difficulties, I will do my best to help you."

"Thank you for your kindness, Saionji-san, but I'm not in any trouble right now. Even if I were, it wouldn't be your turn to help me."

Once a woman becomes jealous, she will become very repulsive to other women, so Zi Zhigong just hopes that she will leave quickly.

"Yeah...that's good."

Although Murasaki Nomiya behaved very unfriendly, Saionji Makoto not only did not feel offended, but felt relieved instead.

Because in her impression, Murasakimiya Shion is the kind of person who does what she wants.

Even in Bai Baihe High School, which is full of beautiful girls and has produced many famous idols, Murasakimiya Shion is a unique beauty.

But because of this, she passively became the number one target of everyone's jealousy.

However, Murasakimiya Shion has never expressed dissatisfaction with the injustice she has suffered, nor has she bowed her head to compromise with anyone. She is not smooth at all, and is even too sharp. But it is precisely because of her aloof and arrogant character that she is the object of admiration for many girls.

At Bai Baihe Girls' High School, the girls who have seen Murasakimiya Shion can be divided into only two categories: one is the brainless haters, and the other is the die-hard fans.

Saionji Machiko also admires her and regards her as her role model.

She is like the lily on the school emblem, fragrant, beautiful, with a subtle aroma, unique and independent.

The conversation between the two came to an end, and then a new voice interrupted.

"Ryouta, what happened?"

Perhaps because Ryouta Sumitomo and Mayu Saionji hadn't returned for a long time, the other two people who were having dinner with them also left their seats and moved over here.

Why are there more and more people...

"Oh, Souji, it's nothing. Makoto and I just ran into some friends from school."

"Oh? What a coincidence? Hello, I'm a good friend of Ryouta and Makoto, my name is Mitsui Sojiro."

This boy named Sojiro Mitsui is tall, with well-defined muscles and a buzz cut, and looks very honest.

A few steps behind him, there was a petite girl with a bob haircut. She was also very cute and her appearance was rated 85 points.

But why is he wearing a medical patch on his right eye? Could this kid be a chuunibyou?

And looking at her outfit, she really has the vibe of a middle school girl. She wears a loose black hoodie and shorts, with a lot of meaningless straps on her pants, which is full of Gothic Lolita style.

Of course, what attracted Hei Yuming the most were the two pink and black striped stockings on her legs and the thick-soled leather shoes on her feet.

The stockings I bought for Zizhigong were all silk stockings, mainly considering the feel and breathability, but from a visual point of view, opaque cotton socks also have a unique flavor.

But wouldn't it be hot wearing so much in the summer? My feet would feel stuffy...

Judging from her timid expression, she is probably one of those gloomy middle school girls.

"Mirai, come over here too. Why are you hiding so far away? They are friends of Ryouta and Makoto. Come over and say hello."

"Hmm... Mirai Kotori..."

It seems that she is the Takanashi-chan mentioned by the class monitor, and she is also a classmate of Kuroba Akira and others in the same school.

When Saionji Makoto saw his friends running over, he realized that he had stayed here for too long. Meeting Murasaki Shion was just a small episode, and the main purpose of today had not been achieved yet.

She was the organizer of today's dinner. The reason why she gathered her childhood friends after a long absence was because she accidentally heard her sister say that Mirai Kotori had a quarrel with someone outside of school, and the quarrel was quite fierce, and it seemed that they even got physical. Her eyes were injured because of it.

So she wanted to find out what had happened. In her impression, Mirai Kotori was not the impulsive type who would hit others.

"Then we should probably go back... Murasakimiya-san, I want to ask you one last question. Will you still come to school?"

"Probably not."

Zi Zhigong said decisively.

"But you don't have to worry, Saionji-kun. Not going to school is my own choice because I want to become a voice actor."

Saionji tilted his head, looked back at Kotori and spoke.

"Voice actor? I remember Mirai-chan's mother was a voice actor, right?"

“Hmm…! Hmm…”

Mirai Kotori seemed reluctant to bring up this topic and nodded stiffly.

"I see, you already have something you want to do."

“Yes, school is not going to help me achieve my goals, and I don’t think it will help me anymore.”

Who wants to go to school? Even if you do, it would only make sense to go to the same school as a wise ruler!

"That's a shame... I'm sorry that school didn't make you happy."

I originally thought we had a chance to become friends... I can only say that we are not destined to be together.

But I'm really envious... At this age, you already have something you want to do and are moving forward towards this goal.
