Didn’t you say you were just using me as a substitute?

However, it was a bit awkward to sit with Kashiwagi Nagisa and Shijo Maki.

After all, the three of them were not familiar with each other.

"Why are there so many people here today? Is it because today is the day for the ice cream, two scoops special?"

"Great, I'll get both chocolate and cocoa flavors."

Aren’t both of these chocolate?

Is there any difference?

Kitahara Tsuyoshi thought so as he listened to the conversation between the girls behind him.

"You'll get fat if you eat too much, Xing."

"Don't worry, my fat is very sensible and will grow where it should. No matter how much I eat, I won't have a belly again."

"Yeah~, that's right. Xing has a really great figure!"

"Speaking of which, Xing, have you grown bigger?"

"I think should not be?"

"I don't believe it. Let me check it."

"Oops, disgusting."

Kitahara Takashi didn't care at first.

But the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong.

Why does this voice sound so familiar?

He subconsciously turned his head and looked behind him, and happened to meet the eyes of Watanabe Hoshi who was attacked on the chest.

"..."

"..."

Their eyes met, and neither of them was surprised.

They just stared at each other in silence for about two seconds.

This period of time was enough for Kitahara Takashi and Watanabe Sei to recognize each other.

In the end, it was Kitahara Takashi who moved first.

He looked away as if nothing had happened, turning his head as if nothing had happened, thinking to himself, 'Tokyo is really small.'

You can wait for two acquaintances here.

Kitahara Tsutomu couldn't imagine how many familiar people he would meet if he continued to serve as his substitute.

I hope my girlfriend won’t point her finger at me and yell, “In the time it takes me to buy a pack of sanitary napkins, I’ve already met seven or eight of your sponsors.”

Kitahara Takashi wanted to pretend not to know him, but Watanabe Sei refused.

How dare he ignore me!!!

Kitahara Takashi's every move was unpretentious. It was not so much that he ignored her, but rather that he was in a state of "I don't bother to pay attention to you".

Their eyes met and they were less than a meter apart, but he still ignored her.

This is not because of ignoring someone because I don't know him, but because I know him and don't want to be ignored. This makes Watanabe Xing very unhappy.

Does he hate himself so much?

Every time I see myself, I ignore myself.

It was obvious that when we first met at the social gathering, his eyes lit up when he saw me.

"You clearly saw me, why are you ignoring me?"

Watanabe Sei grabbed Kitahara Takashi's shoulders and turned him around.

Kitahara Takashi thought for a moment and then took the initiative to greet him: "Hello (*?▽｀)ノノ?"

Watanabe Xing became even angrier when he saw Kitahara Tsuyoshi's perfunctory attitude.

"How tall are you?"

dislike?

Beiyuan Zun thought for a moment, then displayed a false warmth, as if he had just seen an acquaintance: "What a coincidence, you're here too?"

"Beiyuan Zun!"

Watanabe Xing shouted out his name word by word.

'So his name is Kitahara Takashi.'

This was the thought of all the girls present who wanted to know his name.

"Kitahara no Takashi? What a nice name." Kashiwagi Nagisa thought to himself.

Shijo Shinki looked at Kitahara Tsune in surprise and thought, 'He's also called Tsune?'

25. No (vote request)

Kitahara Takashi covered his ears and said, "Keep your voice down. I don't have Alzheimer's disease."

"Almer what?"

Watanabe Hoshi's big eyes, which could be used to endorse Carslan, blinked.

Kitahara Takashi didn't want to explain this common sense, and just gave an awkward but polite smile.

"Are you looking down on me? What kind of smile is that?"

Watanabe Xing took two steps forward aggressively and stood still, holding his head high and glaring at Kitahara Tsutomu with dissatisfaction.

They were so close that Kitahara Tsutomu could clearly smell the perfume on her body.

The smell is not bad, at least Kitahara Takashi doesn't hate the smell of this perfume.

The perfume smells nice, but he really doesn't want to have too much contact with this hot girl who is all show and no substance, has no idea what she's wearing and wears revealing clothes.

"Guest No. 35, your order is ready."

When Kitahara Takashi was thinking about how to get rid of her, the receptionist called him.

"My meal is ready. Excuse me."

Kitahara Takashi nodded politely but distantly to the three Watanabe girls, and walked towards the place where Kashiwagi Nagisa and Shijo Maki were sitting with a tray full of food.

Takamiya Saki watched from a distance: "Are we on a date? Judging from the style of their uniforms, they seem to be students of Shuchiin."

Ohashi Natsumi was also analyzing: "I just don't know which of them is Kitahara-kun's girlfriend?"

"Ok?"

Takamiya Saki was a little surprised, and she looked at Ohashi Natsumi in surprise.

"I remember you were really into him at the last social? You even said you wanted to pursue him? Why didn't you pounce on him when we met today?"

"I don't just like it very much, I really, really, really like it."

After Ohashi Natsumi made a serious correction, she looked at Kitahara Takashi with an obsessed look.

"I really want to be his dog."

Takamiya Saki looked at BT.

She knew that Ohashi Natsumi was in the alphabet circle and might be a little perverted, but she didn't expect that a person could be perverted to this extent.

"Unfortunately, he ignored me."

On the day of the party, the two added each other as friends.

That night, Ohashi Natsumi started sending messages to Kitahara Takashi.

But the message she sent fell on deaf ears, and Kitahara Tsutomu didn't even reply.

No, to be exact, Kitahara Takashi didn't even click on it to read it.

Because the message always shows [Unread].

What is more cruel than not replying to a message after reading it is not reading it.

Because it means that the other person doesn't want to chat with you at all.

Kitahara Takashi didn't reply to the message, but he updated his status frequently.

Almost every two or three days he posts some photos of flowers, plants, sky, and sea that he took, which are the kind of photos that only middle-aged people would post, and he rarely takes selfies.

He posted these messages without blocking himself.

Maybe to him, I am as insignificant as a small stone on the roadside.

From that moment on, Ohashi Natsumi gave up the idea of ​​pursuing Kitahara Takashi.

Even if you are a bootlicker, you should still give it the illusion that if you work hard, you can lick me, right?

Kitahara Takashi, on the other hand, doesn't give it any thought at all.

"I can't tell. I thought he was the type who was gentle and submissive to all girls."

Takamiya Saki couldn't help but turn her head and look at Kitahara Takashi again.

His gentle and casual personality makes him seem to get along well with everyone, and he usually keeps to the point.

He won't take the initiative to get close to others, nor will he embarrass others.

"Xing, if the target is him, I advise you to give up."

Takamiya Saki noticed that Watanabe Sei's gaze was always following Kitahara Takashi, and she persuaded him as a friend.

People who are too rational are not suitable as dating partners.

"What are you talking about, Saki! I don't like him."

Watanabe Xing suddenly seemed to react and fell into panic.

"The person I like is a god!"

"I'm just annoyed that he never replies to my messages. We know each other, but when we meet he acts like a stranger and doesn't see us."

Watanabe Hoshi was willing to deceive herself, and Takamiya Saki simply stopped talking.

*

Kitahara Takashi placed the tray on the table: "Sorry for the wait."

"You're very welcome, Kitahara-kun." Kashiwagi said with a smile, staring at Kitahara Takashi.

"Hmph!" Shijo Shinki snorted coldly, "He's just relying on his good looks to deceive those crazy girls who only care about looks."

"It's all show and no substance."

So, is she really that sharp-tongued?

When I chatted with her before, you didn't treat me like this.

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

After apologizing and buying things, Kitahara Tsutomu felt that there was nothing left for him to do and planned to leave.

"Go, woo woo woo!" "Come, Zhenfei, I'll feed you, ah-~"

Shijo Shinki waved her hand to drive him away, but Kashiwagi Nagisa was quick to pick up a bowl of spicy chicken wings and stuffed them into her mouth.

Blocking Shijo Shinki's mouth, Kashiwagi Nagisa turned around and looked at Kitahara Takashi as if nothing had happened: "Kitahara-kun, you bought so much food that we can't finish it and it would be a waste. Why don't you sit down and eat together?"

Don't order so much at the beginning.

Kitahara Takashi declined: "No, I've already eaten, I really need to leave."

He had no desire to be with the guests.

Although he was very confident in his makeup skills, what if Shijo Shinki saw something?

Kitahara Takashi is a very cautious person.

He would nip in the bud any risk of exposing his identity.

Tangling her fingers in her hair, Kashiwagi Nagisa pouted in dissatisfaction: "Kitahara-kun, is this how you apologize?"
