Chapter 976: Chapter 890: The Young Lady Lost Again (2)
Natsuka Yanagimachi outright sold out a good friend.
Even Aozawa felt a bit embarrassed hearing that.
He didn’t expect Shouko to even mention something like that.
But on second thought, with their relationship, if Natsuka wanted to ask, Shouko had no choice but to answer.
Hojo Shouko, eavesdropping outside, feared Natsuka would continue speaking without a filter, so she quickly slid open the door.
She pretended to have just returned and knew nothing, walked forward, and said, "Aozawa-senpai, sorry to keep you waiting, here’s today’s bento."
Aozawa feigned ignorance of her eavesdropping outside and again informed Hojo Shouko about his relationship with Natsuka Yanagimachi.
"That’s really great."
Hojo Shouko’s tone was calm.
The shock had been used up earlier, making it hard for her to feign a surprised expression now.
"Next time, we can battle it out together."
"Jumping straight into an adult topic, huh?"
Natsuka Yanagimachi blushed again, as the redness she managed to subdue returned.
She felt the pace was too fast.
At least try a three-person date first, starting with a kiss.
And on the day of confirming a relationship, just go straight to a threesome.
No matter how she thought about it, it seemed beyond what her nerves could handle.
She’s not that bold yet.
Considering her feelings, Hojo Shouko nodded, "Then let’s wait a while and first finish your first kiss, Natsuka."
"Haha, let’s discuss that later."
Natsuka Yanagimachi hurriedly shook her head.
Today’s developments were beyond the plan, making her feel like she was on a rocket, needing some time to calm her emotions.
Aozawa wasn’t in a rush either, took the bento from Hojo Shouko, and left the Guzheng Club.
...
Just then, a ray of sunlight pierced through the heavy clouds and fell on the window frame.
Natsuka Yanagimachi looked up at the sunlight, like a sharp sword, and couldn’t help but exclaim, "It’s so beautiful!"
"Yes."
Hojo Shouko nodded, revealing a faint smile, "Natsuka, it’s really wonderful that you and Aozawa confirmed your relationship so quickly."
"Yeah, it feels like a dream."
Natsuka Yanagimachi took a deep breath, feeling her frantic emotions gradually calming.
The step she thought was difficult was actually crossed just like that, making her feel unreal.
Hojo Shouko turned and said, "After we finish eating, let’s visit Sister Iroha from the Human Observation Society."
"Why visit her?"
Natsuka Yanagimachi looked puzzled.
Hojo Shouko explained, "Since you’ve confirmed your relationship with Aozawa-senpai, Sister Iroha naturally should know too.
Don’t worry, she’s very nice and will accept you, it’s just about Phoenix Academy’s Senior."
"Let’s postpone that!"
Natsuka Yanagimachi hurriedly interrupted.
Ayaka Ayatsuki could still muster up courage for a visit.
After all, she’s gentle with no senior airs, easy to get along with.
As for Phoenix Academy Maggie, just one glance made Natsuka Yanagimachi feel like a mouse seeing a cat.
She feared she would be skewered in the next second.
Hojo Shouko also thought visiting Phoenix Academy Maggie now was inappropriate.
Though she was among the earliest to meet Aozawa-senpai, there had been no progress.
It seemed the relationship was not officially confirmed.
According to Hojo Shouko’s understanding.
Their group was similar to a club.
Whoever established a relationship first had the right to speak.
Miss Morimoto was the first, then Sister Iroha.
She might be third.
But for the sake of internal harmony, she was willing to give third place to Phoenix Academy’s Senior.
Hojo Shouko hoped the harem could remain harmonious with fewer disputes, making Aozawa-senpai happier.
"Let’s eat first. After eating, I’ll accompany you to meet Sister Iroha."
"Oh no, you make it sound so formal, and I didn’t even prepare a gift."
"It’s okay, we can just buy orange juice from the vending machine, Sister Iroha is not one to care about formalities."
Hojo Shouko waved her hand.
She’s someone who values etiquette. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Yet, such meetings with a boyfriend’s girlfriend were different.
In modern society, there is no fixed etiquette.
For things not specified in etiquette norms, she naturally couldn’t apply the corresponding etiquette formula and needed to handle it spontaneously.
The result was, she thought buying a drink was enough to satisfy Ayatsuki Ayaka and didn’t need to be too meticulous.
Natsuka Yanagimachi felt there was some logic to her words, but she couldn’t shake off a weird feeling in her heart; is it really necessary to do such a thing?
Or rather, can she really expect a good attitude by visiting in person?
She thought about it and since Shouko was accompanying her, there was no need to worry too much.
"Alright, let’s eat quickly, so we don’t miss it."
Natsuka Yanagimachi swiftly took out her lunchbox, wanting to get it over with quickly.
...
"Haha, listen, after the third class this morning, something super funny happened.
Mina from Class D couldn’t hold it in front of the boy she liked, and then, whoosh."
Ayatsuki Ayaka shared her embarrassing anecdote with Takahashi Saeko and the others, mimicking the flatulence sound on the spot, and couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
"The atmosphere at the scene was incredibly awkward, Mina wished she could jump down from the third floor.
But that’s not even the funniest part, wanna know what’s even funnier?
It’s when that boy said, ’Eat fewer sweet potatoes next time,’ hahahaha!"
Ayatsuki Ayaka laughed until she couldn’t straighten her back.
Takahashi Saeko seriously analyzed: "That truly is a disaster."
"It’s more than a disaster; if it were anyone else, they’d wish their life could redo on the spot."
Tama Chan chimed in.
Though it’s common for people to fart after eating too many sweet potatoes.
But this kind of common situation, any girl would want to avoid. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
Much less in front of the boy she likes, even if it was in front of strangers, she’d wish she could seal the valve.
Even any leakage must be silent, rather than a pop that makes it clear within a three-meter radius who farted.
It’s practically a social death scene.
Ayatsuki Ayaka was about to express her thoughts.
Suddenly, the door to the activity room was knocked on.
A gentle voice came from outside, "Sister Caiyu, it’s Hojo Shouko, I want to discuss something with you. Is it convenient now?"
"Oh, come in."
Ayatsuki Ayaka immediately reined in her smile and adopted the posture of a senior.
The door opened.
She noticed besides Hojo Shouko, there was also a black-haired girl, holding four bottles of orange juice cans, "Do you have anything to discuss?"
Natsuka Yanagimachi nervously stepped forward, placed the four bottles of orange juice on the table, and bowed, "Sister Caiyu, I’d appreciate your guidance from now on."
"Oh."
Ayatsuki Ayaka instinctively nodded, not understanding the situation, yet she still patted her chest and said, "Don’t worry, whenever you need help, you can always ask me."
"Actually, it’s like this."
Hojo Shouko stepped forward to explain, "Today Natsuka also confirmed her relationship with Aozawa-senpai."
"Huh?!"
Ayatsuki Ayaka stood up straight in shock, saying, "Aren’t you good friends?"
"Yes, I feel it’s too overwhelming to handle Aozawa-senpai alone, so I thought of bringing Natsuka along.
After all, we’re good friends."
Hojo Shouko revealed a shockingly chilling statement with a calm expression, causing even someone like Takahashi Saeko, experienced and battle-hardened, to be taken aback.
Looking at this calm-faced junior, she just felt, the world is so big, there’s nothing one can’t encounter.
Originally thought Ayatsuki Ayaka was the limit.
Never expected, there’s a more formidable master here.
Even pushing good friends forward.
This logic truly left Takahashi Saeko bewildered.
Beside her, Miyahara Kaoru, after the initial shock, suddenly had her eyes light up.
Yeah, maybe this is another method.
If she can get involved with Aozawa, well, three of them together, rounding up, also counts as being with Ayatsuki...
Though in her heart, after seeing Ayatsuki Ayaka too shocked to speak, Miyahara Kaoru sighed internally, assuming this was impossible to agree with.
Ayatsuki Ayaka swallowed hard, letting herself sit back down; this was too bizarre.
"Sister Caiyu, I’d appreciate your guidance from now on."
Natsuka Yanagimachi said again.
Ayatsuki Ayaka laughed and said, "It’s fine, as long as you’re happy."
Takahashi Saeko watched this scene, pondering if she should report this to Phoenix Academy Maggie.
Absolutely it’s not because she wants to amuse that lady by submitting a report.
After all, she is one of the Imperial Court Retainers, responsible for reporting relevant information to the lady.
