Kato Yusuke's pen tip couldn't help but pause, then he raised his head with a slight frown and used his eyes to signal the other party to continue speaking.

"After all, think about it, whether it's Valentine's Day or Christmas, these are basically holidays only for couples, right?"

Yamaguchi said:

"Although some of them go out with friends, but in terms of the base, there are more couples, right?

How can a girl not want her boyfriend to spend the holidays with her?"

"..."

Kato Yusuke gently tapped the cap of his pen and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Yamaguchi observed his reaction and nodded thoughtfully, "I see. It seems like you haven't thought about this problem."

Kato Yusuke did not answer, but instead asked: "...I'm a little curious, where did you, a single man, learn about these statements?"

"Are you kidding? I'm a master of theory!"

"Don't you think about applying your theory to the girl you like?"

"Then you have to have a girl you like first."

Yamaguchi answered fluently at first, and then made a joke.

"Besides, you bastard has deceived all the prettiest and cutest girls in the school. How are we going to choose the remaining boys?"

Kato Yusuke smiled meaninglessly, feeling a slight fluctuation in his heart due to the other party's words, but it didn't show on his face.

Without going in-depth on the previous question, Yamaguchi jumped to the next question tacitly: "Anyway, I know about the archery competition. What are your plans after that?"

"If there are no surprises, I should attend the annual meeting of the Immortal River, and there will also be the winter COMI at the end of the year." Kato Yusuke replied thoughtfully.

"Wow, you are too busy, right? A big star!"

Yamaguchi's tone was exaggerated: "The entire winter vacation only lasts two weeks. Aren't you busy half of the time? And will you still have to be busy with things in the studio later?"

"That's pretty much it." Kato Yusuke nodded in affirmation.

Then Yamaguchi's expression became full of pity again.

"Oh, I always feel that it's not easy for you. But..."

The other party asked: "You are quite successful now, right? Do you still need to make yourself so tired?"

"I'm just looking for something to do, nothing to worry about." Kato Yusuke said calmly.

After all, he is no longer the person who can feed one person and keep the whole family from being hungry.

Whether it's for himself or for those who are with him, he must keep moving forward...

◇

It's time for school to end in the afternoon.

"Then, dear students, please pay attention to safety on your way home."

As Masaru Nakamura turned around and left after the evening class meeting, the classroom was suddenly enveloped in the usual noise.

The students' faces were filled with a sense of relief, and they began to discuss where to go to play on the way home, or to make arrangements for the vacation in advance.

As final exam week approaches, all club activities have been completely suspended, making many people suddenly become idle.

Some people walked back home easily, while others ran to the library to endorse books with heavy steps.

Everyone's reaction is different.

It was under such circumstances that Kato Yusuke, who had packed his things, stood up from his seat and walked to the seat next door.

Unknowingly, Hui had finished packing neatly and was now holding her schoolbag and coat, trying to sneak towards the back door of the classroom in a hurry.

"Wait for me, Hui."

"Huh? Ah..."

The girl's slender shoulders shook imperceptibly, and then she turned her head with an expression of reluctance that could only be seen by those around her.

Kato Yusuke frowned and stepped forward, paused and said, "...are you going to the studio? Let's go together."

"Well, today I..."

Hui's eyes were a little evasive, and she looked to the side unconsciously: "Well, because the exam is coming soon, I want to review it first."

"If that's the case I can help."

"But, don't you still want to look at your resume? I don't want to trouble you..."

"I can do both at the same time, it doesn't affect anything."

Kato Yusuke said and came closer, but the other party moved a little away intentionally or unintentionally, making his expression stiffen slightly.

"benefit……?"

"Ah, this is that..."

The girl's lips opened and closed slightly, as if she didn't know what to say, "...Look, I think that's not really good, so you'd better get busy first."

"...Didn't you say you would help me?"

"..."

When Kato Yusuke said this, the other party glanced over with a hint of resentment.

Even so, he didn't want to stop here.

Obviously they can still talk normally when others are present, but when they are alone, the other person will deliberately avoid him.

Kato Yusuke didn't want to go on without knowing it, so he carefully considered his words and said:

"If you don't want to go, I won't force you, but a new member joined the studio today and I hope you can meet him.

The other thing is.

Hasumi-sensei and Shiyu-senpai are also in the studio. If you don’t want me to provide guidance, you can ask them. This will be more efficient than doing it alone, right?"

"Well……"

Facing his subtle method of coercion, Hui looked a little hesitant, unconsciously holding the thing in her hand a little tighter, and then loosening it again.

A few seconds passed.

"...I understand, I will go to the studio." The girl said softly.

Kato Yusuke's expression relaxed and he said, "Okay, then I'll call Senior Shiyu and Eiri, and we'll go together."

"...It doesn't have to be so troublesome, right?"

"What?"

"If Eri is concerned, I will go find her. Yusuke, just go and call Kasumigaoka-senpai. We will meet at the school gate later."

Without waiting for his response, Hui took the lead and walked outside after saying these words.

Slow down.

Kato Yusuke stared at her back, then raised his feet and moved forward.
