Kobayashi Ayaka continued to be stared at by Hayato with narrowed eyes.
She shifted uncomfortably, finally unable to resist and told the truth:
"Next door…"
"Next door?"
"It's the family restaurant we'll all pass by after going downstairs! Why are you asking so many questions!"
Are you trying to make fun of me!? Why the hell should you!?
While the senpais are diligently preparing for their final exams before summer break, the kouhais are leisurely eating, drinking, and having fun at the bar!?
Are normies so great!? So great!? Can't you include me!? Damn it! Ayaka thought.
Nanao Akane looked incredulously at Kobayashi Ayaka, whose face was flushed, her gaze darting elsewhere, a little too embarrassed to look at Kobayashi-chan, yet still maintaining her stubborn facade... Ah, no, what's wrong with me feeling that Ayaka-senpai is a bit cute?
Time reversed.
Kobayashi Ayaka and a few other girls were sitting in a family restaurant, planning to diligently prepare for the upcoming final exams.
"Wow, my mom told me that if I work hard in my third year of high school, college will be easy. Once I'm in college, I definitely want to find a good boyfriend."
"Heh, my mom also told me to work hard in my third year of junior high, and high school would be easy."
"Not good, the version I heard was to study hard in sixth grade of elementary school, and junior high would be easy..."
"I have a feeling college won't be easy either, damn it. And Hitomi, whether or not you find a boyfriend has nothing to do with what grade you're in. God won't just send you a partner when you reach marriageable age! Looking at your appearance and voice, you're quite anthropomorphic, so don't be so infatuated... Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, I'm just kidding!"
Amidst the cries of pain, Kobayashi Ayaka finished solving a problem.
Her grades weren't bad.
Her main role here today was more like a "tutor." But she still decided to study hard before the finals, mainly because she had a best friend named Miyajima Sakura, and that girl was too perfect, a representative of both excellent character and academics.
Kobayashi Ayaka's grades couldn't compare to hers, but she also didn't want to fall too far behind.
Moreover, there was another student who dominated the entire grade in the Kendo Club this year... These two made the members start to wonder if they now had to consider academic performance to join the Kendo Club.
"Ah~~~ In college, I definitely want to find a good boyfriend~~~ My requirements aren't too high, someone like Kobayashi-kouhai would be just fine~~~"
"About that, Hitomi... I advise you to really look in a mirror... Don't use your phone's front camera anymore, its beauty filter seems to be causing you to have an inaccurate perception of yourself... Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch!"
"Then why don't you just go after Hayato-kun directly? While you haven't graduated yet."
"Am I crazy, fighting Miyajima for a man!? But I really envy Ayaka~~~ Even if she can't touch him, she can still see Kobayashi-kouhai every day~~~ Even just seeing him makes her feel happy, don't you agree, Ayaka?"
"He's not my type," Kobayashi Ayaka said flatly.
What does 'can't touch' mean!? If I wanted to, pulling his hair wouldn't be a problem, okay... And what's with 'every day,' you don't know how serious that guy's absence from club activities is. Ayaka was indignant.
"That's true~~~ After all, Ayaka values a person's character more~~~ Unlike me, I'm so vulgar~~~ Please, God, let it rain Hayato-kun soon."
"Is Kobayashi-kouhai's character not good?... Hmm, although he's famous now, we don't really know him well. Ayaka, you're close to him, why don't you tell us about him?"
"Average, and our relationship isn't that close either."
Kobayashi Ayaka said, putting down her pen. The women were giving her a headache.
She decided to take a break and pulled out her phone to relax.
"What's the big deal? If such a handsome guy were by my side, I'd immediately get close to him... Forget getting close, getting into bed wouldn't be a problem!"
"Tsk, Hitomi, calm down and put on your underwear first... Ayaka isn't like you, you're practically a wild chicken. She's very reserved, she wouldn't pounce... Right, Ayaka?"
Then Kobayashi Ayaka couldn't hear what her friends were saying anymore.
She opened the Twitter app.
She saw the video posted by Follower Number One again... To be honest, she wasn't usually interested in such people.
However, the job as a model for X Magazine was basically confirmed.
To boost her work enthusiasm, she decided to stimulate herself a bit more.
Kobayashi Ayaka clicked on the video and saw someone playing the guitar under messy lights.
The phone's camera couldn't handle such complex lighting, so there were many instances of the image going in and out of focus. Follower Number One was also very principled, not aiming at the performer's face while secretly filming.
