Facing Sayu with a cold attitude, Kato Yusuke never found a chance to talk to him.

Even though he knows it's not the other person's fault, he still inevitably feels a bit of a gap.

On one side is Sayu who relies on him, and on the other side is Sayu who ignores him.

The strong sense of contrast and fragmentation keeps swirling in the mind, bringing about a feeling of dizziness and dizziness.

At the same time, it also clearly reminded him of the difference.

Although he knew clearly that the person sitting there was his girlfriend, to Sayu in this world, he was a complete stranger, so naturally he would not look good.

Thinking about this, Kato Yusuke was a little silent for a moment.

A class was spent in this kind of suffering.

This is how we ushered in the lunch break.

"Stand up and salute."

"goodbye teacher."

The history teacher who packed up the textbooks nodded to everyone and turned to leave the classroom.

Kato Yusuke immediately walked towards the girl, trying to use the next period of time to contact her and establish a connection.

However……

"Hey, Iwanami-san, Misaki-sensei from Class 1 asked you to go to the gym to find her.

The news coming from the door once again became an obstacle.

Yusuke pretended not to know about this and kept walking.

Not to mention that he didn't know where the gym was, and he didn't know the teacher Misaki. At least for now, he wanted to strike up a conversation with the girl first, and he could talk about the rest later.

But just when he was about to walk to Sayu, a hand stretched out from the side suddenly put his shoulder.

"Iwanami-san, someone is calling you."

A cheerful voice sounded from behind.

Turn around and look.

What appeared in front of me was a boy with medium-long hair that was parted, with a smile on his fresh and clean face, exuding the same cheerful flavor as his voice.

No matter from the appearance or the atmosphere around him, the person in front of him is obviously a person of high status in the class, but he does not know him.

While patting the other person's hand on his shoulder, he asked: "Who are you?"

Hearing this, the boy couldn't help but be slightly startled.

Before he could speak, someone next to him took the initiative to interrupt.

"Wow, asking this kind of question to Saito-san, is this some new type of cold joke?"

Another boy, who seemed to be a good friend, gave Saito an elbow in the abdomen as a joke, telling him to stop making trouble.

"Sorry, Iwanami-san."

Saito turned his gaze back and stretched out a hand in a handshake gesture.

"Let me introduce myself again. I am Saito from the basketball club. Please give me your advice."

As he said this, a very natural and hearty smile appeared on his face again, which made people feel very friendly.

Kato Yusuke nodded, but did not shake hands with him. Instead, he turned his head and looked forward.

The girl was no longer there, and I don't know where she went.

This made him click his tongue and said, "Sorry, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out, leaving the two boys where they were.

Watching his leaving figure...

"What's going on? Does that boy have any conflict with you? Saito." The boy with long hair asked.

"I think there shouldn't be such a thing." Saito silently retracted his hand and shrugged in a pretentious manner, "Maybe he has this kind of character to begin with."

"Hey...is he another guy with a dark personality? It's really unbearable."

"Same feeling."

"Sigh... Whether it's the "princess" or that guy, why are our class full of people like this? They are not gregarious at all."

Saito didn't answer silently, but glanced thoughtfully at a seat by the window, then looked at the direction Kato Yusuke left, and couldn't help but frown.

"By the way, is this the second time you've been rejected like this? How do you feel~?"

The long-haired boy laughed maliciously and continued: "Also, I remember that the transfer student also talked to the "princess", and he called her by her first name. Maybe they are already secretly together?"

"Stop talking, Taniguchi."

"Wow, Saito has a scary expression."

"..."

"I know, I know, I won't tell you, so why don't we go have dinner together? Partner."

"...We're not in the basketball club, don't use that name."

"Yes...really, you must have vented your anger on me, right?"

"what are you saying?"

"I didn't say anything~"

…

Gym, in front of the women's basketball club office.

Boom, boom.

"Please come in."

Hearing the sound inside, Kato Yusuke opened the door and walked in.

In a room filled with the smell of antiperspirant spray, a stern-looking middle-aged woman was sitting alone at the conference table and cast her gaze over.

"Who are you?"

"Hello, I am a student in Mr. Shibata's class. Someone just informed me to come here."

"Shibata-sensei...oh, are you Iwanami?"

Kato Yusuke nodded slightly in affirmation, and his eyes fell on the other party.

She has short black hair that reaches her chin and is very neatly styled. She is wearing a dark blue shirt and a long black skirt. She looks about 30 or 40 years old. Her slightly upward slender eyes have sharp eyes, giving her a rigorous look.

Feel.

"Are you Misaki-sensei from Class 1?"

"Yes, you already know the specifics, right? I won't go into details. In the afternoon, you can come directly to the Class 1 area as a substitute."

Sure enough, there is no need to play...

Kato Yusuke thought to himself, his eyes flicked over the form that looked like a training plan in the other person's hand, and then he thought for a moment and said, "Can I ask you a question?"

"question?"

"I heard that Class 1 needs to find foreign aid because of the shortage of talents."

Teacher Misaki nodded, "That's right. Is there any problem?"

Yusuke continued to ask: "I would like to know the number of players in Class 1?"

"Not counting you, there are 6 people in total."

"so little?"

As if he was a little unhappy with his words, the other party couldn't help but frown slightly, but he still explained.

"Originally, these problems should not exist, but the male-to-female ratio in Class 1 is out of balance, and girls cannot compete, so this is what we have to do."

Teacher Misaki who said this sighed and murmured to himself: "Obviously we will never lose in the women's game, but in the end we got the men's basketball..."

Although the voice was low, it was still picked up by Kato Yusuke.

His eyes moved slightly, and then he continued to chat with the other party.

As Teacher Misaki narrated, he also had a clearer understanding of the ins and outs of the whole matter.

In short, this school probably decided to hold a football competition before the summer vacation.

Class 1, which is stronger in women's basketball, was unfortunately drawn into Class 3 in the previous draw, and the competition was still played in the form of men's basketball.

The impact of this is that it is difficult for Class 1 to gather even the basic number of participants. In order to allow the main players to have time to take turns and rest, they borrowed people from Class 3.

After understanding these things, Kato Yusuke said nothing more, greeted Teacher Misaki and left.

Gu Ke

'This Misaki teacher from Class 1 doesn't seem to want to give in easily...'
