Because it was obvious that he and Yamada Ryo were not particularly familiar with each other. Whether it was Shiina Tatsuki, who had rebuilt the band together, or Miura Yumiko, who later became one of the four kings of the Inspection Department, they were much more familiar to Matsueda Azusa than Yamada Ryo.
In this situation where basically only the general personality of the other person is known, and even a large degree of stereotype still remains, Matsueda Azusa really has doubts about where this feeling of liking him comes from and why.
So even though he vaguely felt that Yamada Ryo might have some feelings for him, Matsueda Azusa still thought it might be an illusion caused by Shiina Riki's confession a few days ago.
Because that is really unreasonable.
Moreover, this level of liking seemed a bit too frivolous for Matsueda Azusa.
So he wanted to try to figure out what was going on behind this.
Seeing Yamada Ryo reaching out and pulling Matsueda Azusa away, Miura Yumiko was about to grit her teeth.
Damn it, what about the alliance we agreed on? Turns out the real threat isn't the so-called Shiina Riki, but rather lies within this fragile alliance!
Sure enough, her initial feeling was correct. This blue-haired little devil was born evil! She was determined to beat her to her knees!
Of course, this wasn't because Miura Yumiko harbored any feelings for Matsueda Azusa. She was so sure of herself; how could that be possible? Not to mention that it was Matsueda Azusa who had messed up her relationship in the first place, and considering how he was, how could her feelings for him be anything but love?
That is of course impossible.
So the answer is obvious. This is of course her anger towards the bastard Matsueda Azusa for betraying the singles and becoming a traitor to the Supervisory Department!
We are ready to fight to the death, why did Your Majesty surrender first? Even Miura Yumiko hasn't betrayed the Inspection Department yet, and Minister Matsueda Azusa is already eager to try? That thieving blue-haired brat deserves death, and so does Minister Matsueda Azusa, who betrayed everyone!
They must be stopped!
Today, Yumiko Miura is also very tough.

Chapter 157 Three makes a trip.
Azusa Matsueda and Ryo Yamada walked forward along the busy corridor.
Although she did try to get Matsueda Azusa to go with her to the school anniversary party at the beginning, when they actually went together, Yamada Ryo didn't say much.
Somehow, both of them seemed a little silent, and they didn't know why. They could chat naturally when communicating through mobile phones or when there were other people around, but in this situation, they didn't know what to say.
Just then, a familiar voice came from the front.
"Excuse me, is the person in charge here? Your class's presentation content is different from the application form you submitted. Could you explain what's going on?"
Matsueda Azusa subconsciously looked over there, and sure enough, it was Yukinoshita Yukino who was patrolling around and seemed to have discovered that there was a problem with the performance project launched by a certain class.
Yamada Ryo noticed Matsueda Azusa's little movement and followed his gaze. "Is he your friend?"
Matsueda Azusa thought about it and felt that he and Yukinoshita Yukino were not close enough to be called friends: "We are just acquaintances."
"Oh~"
Yamada Ryo drawled out his tone: "Do you want to go and take a look?"
Songzhi Zi shrugged: "I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll just go and join in the fun."
"Just an acquaintance?"
Yamada Ryo followed Matsueda Azusa and moved closer, his tone somewhat puzzling.
A closer look revealed that the classroom walls had been decorated like caves, with a "Mine Cart Adventure" sign hanging on them, imitating the Raiders of the Lost Ark logo. Screams and violent rattling noises could be heard from within the caverns.
No, wait...did these people just hand-roll a roller coaster in the classroom?
real or fake?
No matter how you think about it, it's a bit too outrageous. No wonder it attracted Yukinoshita Yukino.
Yukinoshita Yukino didn't notice Azusa Matsueda and Ryo Yamada approaching from behind her. Instead, she held the school anniversary brochure in her hand with a serious face and questioned the class project leader: "The project submitted by Class 3-B is: 'Let passengers sit in a slowly moving mine car and appreciate the interior decorations and dioramas.'"
Is this the introduction you gave when you submitted your project? Could you please explain the definition of 'slow progress'? Also, have the safety factors and precautions for this project been verified and audited?
So that's how it is. The reported projects and the actual projects have become two completely different things. But they should have known that the Executive Committee had sent people to patrol everywhere, and this situation would be discovered immediately. Why did they still do this?
Matsueda Azusa, who was lost in thought, and Yukinoshita Yukino, who was speaking righteously, did not notice that the students around them suddenly looked at them with strange eyes.
Yamada Ryo looked around suspiciously, then reached out and poked Matsueda Azusa: "I always feel like something is wrong—"
But before she could finish her words, a group of senior students who had been lying in ambush suddenly rushed out from the back door of the classroom. They immediately surrounded the completely unprepared Yukinoshita Yukino and rushed into the classroom, even dragging along Azusa Matsueda and Ryo Yamada behind her.
Matsueda Azusa realized instantly—this was a trap! A trap to lure the executive committee members, especially Yukinoshita Yukino!
Matsueda Azusa suffered the misfortune here simply because she was too close.
This group of people is so bold that they actually thought of using this method to lure Yukinoshita Yukino over. Are they intending to embarrass her with a "roller coaster" type of activity?
Relying on their status as third-year students, they didn't care if they were punished afterwards, because they were about to graduate anyway.
The captured third-year executive committee members must be behind this.
The three of them were escorted into the classroom, which was also decorated like a cave. There were minerals and crystal skulls that glowed with LED lights, rocks made of styrofoam, and model bats flying around on strings.
Due to the dim lighting and narrow terrain, the three of them had almost no chance to resist as they were surrounded by a group of senior students, and were pushed into the "mine cart".
Songzhi Zi finally found an opportunity and spoke to the group: "Hey! You've got the wrong person! I'm not an executive committee member. How dare you brazenly do something like this during the school anniversary celebration? Aren't you afraid that the project will be shut down? Even if the executive committee lets you off, our supervisory department won't let this matter go!"
Matsueda Azusa's threat silenced the surrounding students for a moment, seemingly making them hesitate. Suddenly, someone said, "The Supervisory Department? It's Matsueda Azusa! We can't let them get away! Let the students suffer, and I'll take the blame! For everyone who has suffered, let's press the switch on them!"
"Well~ Thank you all for coming aboard the Mine Car Adventure. Now, please enjoy the mysterious underground world."
As soon as they finished speaking, the classroom began to broadcast the news. The mine cart, pulled along a track made of long and short tables, wooden boards, and iron plates, slid at high speed, making a rumbling sound. There were also high and low drops along the way, sometimes climbing up, sometimes rushing down.
Songzhi Zi was annoyed. He didn't expect that giving his name would actually help them. "Damn it! I won't let them go!"
Yukinoshita Yukino gripped the handle tightly and looked at Matsueda Azusa and Yamada Ryo in surprise: "Why are you here too?"
She didn't notice him until just now when Matsueda Azusa called out.
The minecart was not big, and three people squeezed together made the space inside even more crowded.
Matsueda Azusa held the handle tightly, and Yamada Ryo had nowhere to put his hands, so he simply hugged Matsueda Azusa's arms.
Before Matsueda Azusa could answer Yukinoshita Yukino's previous question, she discovered Yamada Ryo who was almost tightly pressed against Matsueda Azusa.
Subconsciously frowning, Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Yamada Ryo, her voice a little disordered due to the fast-moving mine cart: "Who is this...? I don't remember there being such a student in Sobu High School. He shouldn't be from our school, right?"
Yamada Ryo blinked and said, "Oh no, I've been discovered. Sister, you're not going to kick me out, are you? That's terrible, sister. I would never do such a thing."
"...?"
Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Yamada Ryo blankly, then turned her gaze to Matsueda Azusa and pointed at her head, obviously meaning: "Is there something wrong with this guy's brain?"
But she certainly wouldn't really ask that, as that would be too un-Yukinoshita Yukino. However, Matsueda Azusa could tell that was probably what she meant.
Matsueda Azusa couldn't help but raise her hand and give Yamada Ryo a slap: "You're acting so young, aren't you?! I call you senior, and you come and call my classmate sister?"
"?"
Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Matsueda Azusa with the same look - is this the point of the problem? Are you mentally ill too?
However, think about it carefully... the female student outside the school who has a close relationship with Matsueda Azusa... combined with the information she got from opening the box before, could it be that?
Yukinoshita Yukino subconsciously asked: "Is this your ex-girlfriend? Or is she your current girlfriend?"
158
Chapter 158 She A’s up!
"Clam?"
Songzhizi lives in Bengbu. Is this right?
Even Yamada Ryo was shocked when he heard this. How could he mistake her for Toyokawa Shoko? They didn't look alike at all!
Besides, actually comparing her, Yamada Ryo, with that guy Toyokawa Shoko... It's too weird no matter how you look at it!
Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Azusa Matsueda and Ryo Yamada, who were sitting close together on the same side, and subconsciously added, "If those couples you interfered with earlier saw you like this, it would probably cause a lot of controversy. And if I remember correctly, today is a weekday, right? This student should also be in class at his own school. Tomorrow, Saturday, is the school anniversary open day."
"This girl is not my ex-girlfriend, nor is she my current girlfriend. What can I criticize her for?"
Songzhi Zi couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand. "Wait, there's actually an open day for the school anniversary? I thought it was only today?"
"...Are you really a student at Sobu High School? Even if I don't know you well, you should have experienced the school anniversary during your first year of high school."
Yukinoshita Yukino reluctantly explained, "Today is the school anniversary. In addition to the performances by each class, there are also performances provided by clubs for all school members. Tomorrow is the school anniversary open day. Class projects will continue, and we've also invited outside groups to perform. For example... my sister participated in the school anniversary activities through this channel of outside groups."
Yamada Ryo heard this and suddenly realized: "Oh, so that means I can still come tomorrow?"
"?"
Is that right? Is that the point?
Matsueda Azusa looked at Yamada Ryo in confusion: "I don't have any activities tomorrow, so why are you here? Are you so free? Don't you have to practice your instrument on your day off?"
"Can I only come here when you need my help? Will you chase me away when there's nothing else?"
Yamada Ryo deliberately put on a pitiful look, blinking as he looked at Matsueda Azusa, "Why are you using me as a tool? I'm your friend when you need me, and I'm your idiot when you don't! You're so mean."
As the mine car swayed, she simply lay sideways on Songzhi Zi's legs. Her blue hair was disheveled, and the hair mixed with her warm breath rubbed gently on Songzhi Zi's body. Even through the clothes, she seemed to be able to feel it, making her skin feel a little itchy.
She looked up at Matsueda Azusa's face, and under the dim light in the classroom, she couldn't tell whether she was blushing or not.
Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't help but get goosebumps all over her body. She quickly turned her head away and rubbed her arms. Ugh, those two fussy girls, did they have to show off their affection in front of her? Don't look! Matsueda Azusa, that bastard, is also a thief who stole things from the inside. He's the one who allows the officials to set fires but not the people to light lamps. He's preventing others from dating while he's flirting with girls outside of school. What a damn bastard.
Songzhi Zi was speechless. She reached out and turned Yamada Ryo over, grabbed the back of her collar and pulled her up, making her sit down obediently: "It's not that you can't come, but why do you keep coming to me for no reason? Do you like me?"
"..."
The atmosphere was silent for a moment.
Yamada Ryo stretched out his hand, made an "eight" sign, held up his chin, and asked innocently, "Huh? Is that not allowed?"
A went up, she went straight to A!
After these words were spoken, the atmosphere became even more silent.
Yukinoshita Yukino is now about to jump out of the car.
It seems she came at the wrong time.
She never thought that she would become a part of other people's play. She should not be in the car, but under the car, watching how sweet they were.
Songzhi Zi was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses. He put his hands to his face and made a "stop" gesture: "Wait, wait a minute? Are you serious? You said you like me?"
Yamada Ryo made a "little bit" gesture: "Indeed, a little bit."
"...? No, why?"
Matsueda Azusa couldn't help but ask this question: "Are we really familiar with each other enough to develop a 'liking' relationship? And after all, what is it that you like about me..."
He really didn't expect that Yamada Ryo would admit this so bluntly and easily. Although he did ask it with some tentative intentions, to be honest... he was more inclined to think that he was just overthinking it, because he couldn't think of any reason at all.
"Hmm... Do I have to have a specific reason to like someone? If I had to say, it's probably because you're a good musician, and we get along well. It's fun to be with you."
"But while you can say that, these aren't the real reasons. It's simply because of these things that I became interested in you and fell in love with you. Is that a reason?"
Yamada Ryo tapped his lips with his right index finger, tilted his head, and answered confidently, "Besides, although we don't really know each other very well, it's true that there are situations where you develop feelings of love after getting to know each other first, but there are also situations where you fall in love first and then get to know each other."
After hearing this, Matsueda Azusa quickly calmed down. Although it was a bit unexpected that Yamada Ryo suddenly said that he liked him, his previous experience had taught him a lesson, telling him this truth: if he could not understand the other person deeply and reach a sympathetic understanding with the other person, he would definitely repeat the same mistakes as him and Toyokawa Shoko.
Although the direct reason for his breakup with Toyokawa Shoko was her family situation, it was actually just a trigger. Given her personality and excessive self-esteem, coupled with the fact that their views and understanding of each other were too superficial - the feeling furthest from understanding is admiration - even if that incident had not happened, they would always have broken up due to other things.
So Matsueda Azusa didn't think what Yamada Ryo said was feasible.
He asked, "What if, after getting to know me better, you discover that I'm not the person you imagined me to be, not the person you like? What should you do then?"
"That's why I didn't say I wanted to be with you right now."
Yamada Ryo gave a thumbs-up and explained seriously, "I'm just telling you that I kind of like you right now and have a good impression of you. I'm not saying we should make any vows or establish any kind of relationship right now, right? We still have a lot of time to get along and get to know each other, right?"
Eh?
If you put it that way...it does seem to make sense, right?
When Matsueda Azusa heard this, he suddenly understood and understood - yes, having feelings for someone does not mean a confirmed relationship, so in this case, there is no need to worry about gains and losses in the distant future.
The "like" that Yamada Ryo is talking about now and the "like" that Shiina Riki said to him before are essentially two completely different degrees of emotions, and the way they deal with this emotion is also completely different. It cannot be generalized. If you use the same idea to treat different emotions, you will certainly fall into misunderstandings and get stuck in a dead end.
Wonderful! Songzhi Zi completely understood everything.
