Hikigaya did not continue to speak, and I did not continue to explain. The atmosphere of the Sobu High Service Department is always like this. Anyone can stir up a topic at any time, but it can also be started by anyone at any time.

To end the topic.

I looked at Yui-san with some confusion, but also with some reluctance, looking back and forth between me and Hikigaya, as if she didn't know what was going on but was still trying to lighten the atmosphere.

But she didn't do it in the end. Yuigahama Yui was so able to read the atmosphere. It was precisely because she was so able that she felt that in the current atmosphere, there was no room for her to intervene.

Yukinoshita reopened the library, although I felt that before opening the library, her eyes seemed to glance at me again. For Yukinoshita Yukino, once she reaffirmed her persistence, once she let go

When she no longer feels this confusion, she will move forward unswervingly - even the person who brought her the right argument can't stop her from turning back, unless she encounters a reef herself.

It is like the captain of a ship who hesitated in the direction of the target. However, if someone told her that she only misread the actual situation ahead because of the heavy fog, but her direction and target were not wrong, then

, she will naturally persist to the end - even if the person later explains that her goal may indeed be somewhat biased.

Hikigaya Hachiman lowered his head again, maybe he was observing the patterns in the tea that Yukinoshita made for himself in a good mood today, or maybe he was simply staring at his cup in a daze. However, he wouldn't care about my behavior today.

These words touched me.

Hikigaya Hachiman is a sniper, a very good sniper. He can lurk in the deep trenches he dug and observe every move of the enemies on the periphery. He can detect all the external people he can see.

Make the most accurate judgment - however, he is just a sniper after all. He can see everything around him, but cannot grasp the big situation.

So, as he takes out others again and again with his precise sniping, he ends up just drifting further and further into the self-constructed error he believes in. As a sniper, he believes in the ugliness of the world without believing in it.

The goodwill of everyone except himself is, in the end, just a kind of blind conceit.

A person who cannot clearly realize that he has been deceived is still not free, no matter how much he claims to be rational, no matter how clearly he sees his own situation.

Perhaps, the person in this classroom who thinks the least about these things is the freest person now? This certainly does not mean that Sister Yui realizes what she really wants. But, she at least knows that she is interested in

Adapting to the atmosphere and adjusting her interpersonal relationships were just an unintended gesture - from this point of view, she realized that she was being deceived. She just didn't feel that she had the ability to break the deception, but

, she is still much better than some people who think they have seen through everything.

This is the actual ecology of the service ministry, two people who think they have seen through everything but have not even reached the initial level of rationality, and one person who knows that he has been deceived but just passively accepts this state of affairs.

Of course, most people in this society probably cannot escape these two forms.

However, there are also people who don't know that they have been deceived and are still happy with their current situation. This is something I only learned about later.

------------------------------------Dividing line------------

----------------------------------

I don’t know how much time passed, but Yukinoshita closed the library book and announced softly: "If there is nothing to do today, then the club activities will end here."

Then, regardless of whether anyone had any objections - of course, there were usually no objections, she started to put away today's tea set. At this time, her sister would jump to help her, and Yukinoshita would frown in confusion at first.

After frowning, they expressed their acceptance. Then, the two girls would chatter some harmless words.

Usually Yui-sister says something like "Xiaoyuki, can we go shopping together today?" Then Yukinoshita frowns and says "Today may be a little difficult", and then her sister starts to talk to Yukinoshita.

A tug-of-war. Of course, there are winners and losers in battles, and Yukinoshita usually wins. But whenever Yui-san wins, Yukinoshita is doomed to be miserable and dragged to various shopping malls to fight.

One afternoon.

As for Hikigaya and I, sometimes we would stand there aimlessly watching their chat - to be honest, it was quite eye-catching to watch two beautiful girls talking about these things at first, but when this happened

This situation has been repeated many times, and it will not happen again after this one.

Therefore, more often than not, at least I will choose to leave - of course this is also related to the fact that I have to rush to work. Without a part-time job, Hikigaya can still stay in this classroom after the club activities with a pair of dead eyes.

Go, but I can't.

However, what is regrettable is that since I entered a somewhat subtle state of avoiding contact, I have rarely had the opportunity to "encounter" Karaoku-senpai. This situation even caused Aunt Inoue's anger.

focus on.

"Yuigahama, Yukina hasn't come to chat with you in the past few weeks!"

"Isn't this great? Inoue-senpai doesn't always like the fact that I am occupied by Kogi-senpai and it affects my work?"

"Even though I said that, this situation still feels very abnormal. I have to be concerned about it, right?"

"Senior, don't you have time to sing karaoke? What's the big deal? Inoue-senpai doesn't know that Kogi-senpai is a candidate?"

"But Yukina sang well at other times. It feels like she deliberately avoided Yuigahama's time."

"Inoue-senpai, if you have time to doubt this accidental situation, you might as well think about when it would be more reliable to upgrade your position to the position of duty manager. As a regular employee, you still have to work with me, a part-time worker.

Don’t you feel frustrated at work?”

"Hey, Yuigahama, since you know that you are a part-time worker and I am a regular employee, and since you also know that I am your senior, do you still dare to say such unreasonable things?"

"That's because I see that you, senior, are in a good mood today - usually you are in a good mood when you are gossiping."

"To be honest, Kazuya, although it is true that I am too worried, did you have a problem with another girl, and then made Yukina angry? Yukina's child does not seem to be a cheating child, but Yuigahama, you are

Not necessarily, you look a lot like——"

"——Don't discriminate because of red hair!" For an old woman who still occasionally has a strong gossip mentality at her age, it would be better to interrupt her delusion.

However, things never progress in the direction I want.

"Kazuya, I didn't expect you to work here -"

Well, isn't it said that this karaoke is a place that students from Sobu High School generally don't get involved in? Even if Ogi-senpai comes here often, I have met Yui-san here, and I have met Yuki who was dragged here by Yui-san.

Next, ah, Isshiki-san, plus you, how about the four of you playing mahjong together for a week?

Here, I bet that Yukinoshita will be first, and Yui-san will be second. Of course, the strongest one is probably Yukinoshita’s sister. Fortunately, she is no longer a high school student, and what she has to face is the dangers of the adult world.

Wall, that's it.

Isshiki walked up to the counter with a frivolous look on her face and looked at my part-time uniform with interest - if it weren't for the fact that there were two other companions behind her who were looking at me with interest, I would have

I think she specifically inquired about my place of work to tease me. Fortunately, this is probably not true - but what is going on with your interested look and your actions of just sniffing me?

"Is this Yuigahama? Wow, what a surprise, I can meet Iroha-chan here! You two are really destined to be together!" said a girl behind Isshiki who dyed her hair brown.

Said, she should be one of Isshiki's good friends in the class, her name seems to be Koiwai Aimi, she can often be seen pulling Isshiki out of a bunch of boys and chatting, and she is also the same as me.

I've said hello a few times, but looking at her staring at me with a smile on her face, do I know her that well?

"Ah, is this Yuigahama? She looks surprisingly honest. Although her red hair is indeed very conspicuous, she doesn't look like a delinquent when wearing a uniform, Iroha-chan!" I said, another girl who spoke.

I don’t know him, maybe he’s a friend Isshiki met in another class, right?

However, I always felt like there was something wrong with what they said. Especially the latter one, who looked at me seriously - as if he was examining my best friend's boyfriend.

I hope I'm overthinking it.

"I didn't say that Kazuya is bad. If you ask Aimi-chan, it's the same thing. Kazuya is actually a very good boy. Lizi, you are just judging a book by its appearance!"

"Alala, I was wrong, but can Kazuya give us a discount for Iroha-chan's sake?" a girl named Lizi winked exaggeratedly and said teasingly.

I have seen this scene before. A long time ago, a girl named Miura Yuko who came here with her sister also said the same thing. She should obviously have no hope for this, why do everyone have to say these words, as if I and I

What about the look that you are very familiar with? This will be very disturbing, right?

"Riko, please don't make things difficult for Kazuya. Let's find a small private room first. If you really want Kazuya to get a discount, you should also start with drinks and other things, right?"

"Ah, ah, Iroha-chan, are you starting to protect Yuigahama? I really didn't believe it before. If this happens, wouldn't Yamashiro have no chance again?"

"What does it mean that there is no chance again? I have rejected him. I have been rejecting him. That guy always thought that he still had a chance. Do I have such a tsundere-like character? Will I reject him on purpose?

Means to keep him hoping for me?"

"Isn't it because Iroha-chan never said that she actually likes Yuigahama that makes them feel hopeful?"

"Hey, don't say such misunderstandings, Riko!" Isshiki glanced at me with his face flushed - it didn't look like he was acting.

But this must be her acting skills, because if it weren't for her acting skills, how could Isshiki let me know this kind of thing casually? To say the least, even if she could let me know it casually, with her character, she has already told her about it.

I expressed it, instead of using the best friend's way of letting things slip. You know, Ishiroha is a guy who can accurately control everything!

If it weren't for the fact that I'm currently at work, I would probably take Isshiki to the corner and interrogate him severely. However, now, I can only try my best to show a smile that must be worn at work and endure it.

Aunt Inoue behind her said with a fiery look in her eyes: "Ah, I am the one who is right, I have a problem with other little girls" and said: "For three people, is the small private room in Room 27 okay? Do you need me to take the guests there?

?”

"Ah, no need. We'll let Iroha-chan stay to deal with some other matters. Yuigahama, just give us a general direction." Koiwai Aimi rolled her eyes and said with obvious ill intentions.

"That's not okay, Yuigahama." However, at this time, Aunt Inoue walked up to me with an irrefutable attitude and said, "These guests probably don't come here often. It's easy to get lost here."

, So, please Yuigahama, can you please take them there? As for this guest, if there is other matters, just let me take care of it, right? "

It's over, I was completely misunderstood by Aunt Inoue - even looking at the strange expressions of Isshiki's two companions, I felt that it was not surprising that some kind of strange cp was about to be achieved.

As my superior, Inoue-senpai, I had to obey, so even though Isshiki's two companions had tried their best, they could only let me lead them to the box.

However, I did notice that when I left, Isshiki glanced at Inoue-senpai and then looked at me thoughtfully.

Well, at least Isshiki isn't that kind of idiot, right?

It would be better to explain it to her after she comes out later!

Of course, I also need a good explanation from Ishikiha-san about what those two Ishiki friends said. Although I can still roughly guess what Isshiki wants to use me for, I have no idea what Isshiki wants to do.

Under such circumstances, he inexplicably became a shield, which is also a very unpleasant thing!

To be honest, it would be better if the first 1k of this chapter should be placed in the previous chapter, but because I am a strict 4k party, I feel that writing 5k in one chapter is too compensating, and I feel embarrassed to divide 5k into two 2500, so this happens often

situation.

Also, this chapter is a make-up update, and I still owe three updates. Ahem, don’t complain that I have been steadily owing updates. As long as I have enough time to update daily, then it won’t be a matter of minutes to complete the update and then add more updates.
Chapter completed!
