Shiyu: "Idiot Sawamura, she is obviously guilty~"

Megumi: "W-what... Why do I have to feel guilty? You all should know that I occasionally go to Yusuke's place to cook... Isn't this normal?"

Shiyu: "Oh~ So according to Kato-san's understanding, is it normal for a girl to buy ingredients alone and go to a boy's house to cook?

No wonder others often say that the more well-behaved a girl is on the surface, the more open she is in private. It turns out that Kato-san is so casual, so is it acceptable to be an imperfect? ​​It seems I need to re-evaluate you~

"

Eiri: "i,impart——!? Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid Kasumigaoka Shiu! How can a girl like you say such a word so easily!?"

Shiyu: "Huh? What are you making such a fuss about, Sawamura? Those notebooks you drew have already exceeded this scale, right? Can you stop pretending to be innocent?"

Yinglili: "These are two different things——!!!"

Megumi: "...Um, Kasumigaoka-senpai and Eiriri, I'm sorry to interrupt you, although I don't quite understand what you mean by "impart", but please don't describe me like that? I always think it sounds a bit uncomfortable...

…”

Shiyu: "Tsk... It's all your fault, Sawamura. I almost forgot who the target was. Let's stop messing around. Let Kato-san explain her problem clearly first."

Eiri: "Haha? You were obviously the one who took the lead in talking about porn! How can you say that? But... I am really curious about how Megumi entered Yusuke's house when he was out, so

Seconded!"

Megumi: "Eh...? Wait, Yinglili, this isn't what the three of us were originally going to discuss, right? You've got it wrong..."

Yinglili: "Stare——"

Megumi: "No, even if you look at me like that... um... ah~ I see, why don't I tell you? The reason why I was able to enter Yusuke's house was because he gave me the money for convenience.

Just give me my spare key, it’s that simple..."

"spare key--!?!?"

Yinglili suddenly raised her voice and asked loudly: "Hui! Why did you sneak away alone again? Didn't everyone agree to form an alliance?"

Shiyu: "Ah la la, he is indeed a cunning and sneaky cat~~"

Megumi: "...What? I keep saying that others are sneaking away. There is obviously something between you and Yusuke that I don't know about. Why am I the only one who is the sneaky cat?"

After all, what I have done has never gone beyond the sound level of a high school student, and the relationship with Yusuke is also... clean, but everyone seems to be completely different, right?"

Yinglili: "Ugh...! You, what are you talking about, Hui? I, I, I, I, I don't understand at all."

Shiyu: "Well, I can explain it to you, Sawamura? Kato-kun, she is hinting that we and Yusuke have crossed the line..."

"——Shut up, shut up, shut up! I don’t want to hear it, I don’t want to hear anything! People don’t understand anything, so that kind of thing is fine no matter what...!!"

Yinglili suddenly hugged her ears and squatted on the ground, burying her head deeply between her legs. Her originally fair and flawless face was red to the base of her ears, almost bleeding.

benefit:"……"

Shiyu: "..."

Kato Yusuke looked at the three arguing girls in front of him and couldn't help but persuade him: "Okay, okay, everyone should calm down first and stop arguing..."

However--

""Yu-chan (Yusuke), stop meddling in other people's business——!"""

Shiyu, Megumi, and Eiriri said in unison, instantly knocking Kato Yusuke back, leaving him stunned on the spot.

"Oh~~" Shiyu put his hand on his forehead and sighed helplessly, "After all, who do you think we are like this because of? You are such a playboy."

"Um..." Kato Yusuke touched his nose awkwardly and whispered: "...Isn't this right? Isn't the topic you discussed at the beginning Nakano-senpai?"

"Hmm~? Yu-chan, did you say something?" Shiyu raised his eyes and asked with a smile.

"No, there's nothing——!" Kato Yusuke shook his head from side to side, a chill running down his spine, and he hurriedly changed the subject.

"By the way! You just said alliance, right? What does that mean? Can you explain it to me?"

"""……Eh?"""

The three girls collectively stopped talking for some unknown reason.

They looked at each other very quickly and then immediately looked away.

Shiyu: "Oh~? This is interesting. The person being interrogated actually made demands on us in turn? He's really thick-skinned."

Megumi: "What... isn't this the time to discuss this?"

Yinglili: "Alliance? Grasshopper? I don't understand what you are talking about... Idiot."

The three people who were fighting independently a moment ago reacted surprisingly unanimously, as if they had some kind of tacit understanding.

"???" Kato Yusuke blinked his eyes in confusion, feeling dumbfounded in his heart.

He subconsciously wanted to complain, but he shut up in time under the murderous gazes of the three women, trying his best to appear harmless.

Unfortunately, Shiyu did not let him go easily.

The girl gently raised her legs and sat on the edge of the table, leaning her upper body slightly forward. At the same time, she stretched out a hand to reach for his cheek, and then pinched it hard.

"Hi~!" Kato Yusuke suddenly gasped and grimaced in pain.

"Well, anyway, I'll get straight to the point and ask, Yu-chan, how do you plan to deal with Nakano-senpai's matter? Are you planning to make her a member of 'us'?"

"What???"

"Just tell me the truth and I promise I won't be angry~"

"Hiss~ It hurts! Xiaoshi, what do you want me to explain????"

"Let me think about it, why don't you first explain why people outside call you the son-in-law of the Nakano family? Does this have anything to do with your meeting Nakano-senpai's father~?"

"This... I did reach an agreement with Mr. Nakano, but there is a reason, and I really didn't betray everyone... It hurts!"

"Tch, cunning man, only a ghost will believe you." Shiyu flicked his forehead with her finger, then turned to look at his two companions, "So, the above is the suspect's confession, what do you two think?"

The two girls looked thoughtful, staring into Yusuke Kato's eyes without blinking, with distrust written all over their faces.

Kei turned his face slightly, thought for a while and said: "... Putting aside the other things, I think the focus of the question should be the agreement Yusuke mentioned, right? So what exactly did you talk to Chairman Nakano about?"

Yinglili slammed the table hard, stared and said: "Hurry up and deal with us seriously, you big fool!"

Kato Yusuke smiled bitterly and nodded, knowing that he would never be able to escape this situation, so he had no choice but to tell the story of his conversation with Nakano Yukihira.

…

Fifteen minutes later.

"Hey~~~"

Shiyu narrowed his eyes playfully and said in a long tone:

"You actually said you were responsible for someone else's daughter. So you agreed to that kind of thing~? No wonder there are such rumors outside. Isn't this equivalent to proposing a marriage?"

"Propose, propose marriage——!?!?"

Eiri lost her voice and said: "Stupid, stupid! Kasumigaoka Shiu, what are you talking about? Why does Yusuke have to propose marriage to Nakano-senpai's father... I hate it! I don't want that kind of thing!"

Kei said expressionlessly: "In other words, Yusuke proposed that agreement on his own initiative? How should I put it... This is very your style, so are you serious?"

Kato Yusuke suddenly felt that his head was as big as a bucket, and the corners of his mouth twitched and he said:

"No, that kind of thing is impossible no matter how you think about it, right? They say it's just a stopgap measure to buy time for Nakano-senpai so that she can get rid of her family's control. You don't really think that I have anything to do with senior-senpai.

Are you thinking too much??"

Shiyu: "Oh? So you know this too~?"

Megumi: "Well~ after all, Nakano-senpai is handsome and beautiful, reliable and has such a good family background. It's hard to imagine that any boy would not be attracted to her~"

Eiri: "Damn it, I'm so angry! Why do you two say they are so perfect for each other? How can this idiot Yusuke be worthy of Nakano-senpai!?"

The three girls were talking to each other, their eyes constantly flicking back and forth on Kato Yusuke's face, which doubled his pressure.

Kato Yusuke could remain calm at first, but as time went on, he couldn't bear the death stare and gradually became sweaty.

When Ryoko Nakano opened the door and entered the office, she saw such a lively scene.

She was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Ah, I seem to have come at the wrong time~"

After a brief period of confusion.

"Nakano-senpai!?" x4

Everyone, including Kato Yusuke, stood up.

"Well~ Good morning, everyone." Ryoko Nakano nodded slightly in greeting, glanced at Yusuke Kato and others with curiosity, and joked:

"I didn't expect that everyone is here, Yu-kun. No wonder it sounds so lively from outside~ What are you talking about? Did I disturb you?"

"""Well……"""

Hui, Shiyu, and Yingli looked at each other, feeling a little guilty for a moment.

Who would have thought that one second they were joining forces to denounce and make trouble, and the next second they would bump into the person involved? Although this is not considered to be speaking ill of others behind their backs, it is still very embarrassing to encounter such a situation...

So the three of them fell silent.

Nakano Ryoko's mind moved slightly when she saw this, with a thoughtful expression on her face, as if she had realized something.
