Chapter 388 – Bold Counterattack #2

“It’s 1 penalty point.”

Miyuki’s mouth opened slightly at Hiyori’s slightly raised tone.
It must have been absurd for Hiyori to proudly impose penalty points on herself as a member of the student council.

“Demerit…? “Are you trying to play house?”

“Oh, what kind of house play is this…!”

“Then were you being serious? “You’re giving me penalty points?”

“No. Seniors should directly impose penalty points on their seniors.”

“Why?”

“Disturbance of morals.”

The way he speaks in a firm voice is somehow funny.
Is there a cartoon about a troublemaker possessing the student council?
I suddenly want to see it.

“I said this wasn’t disorderly conduct.”

“Other people won’t think that way, right?”

“Not what you think?”

“Of course, so do I.”

“I think you’re the only one who thinks that way?”

“No? Should we ask the students passing by?”

“What… I was just showing affection with my boyfriend, why do I have to answer questions with other people? “It’s absurd because I keep listening to it, isn’t it?”

The voices of the two people are gradually getting louder.
It’s okay for now because it’s quiet, but it seems like it will attract more attention as time goes by.
I said as I gently placed my hand on Miyuki’s back.

“Both of you, be quiet.”

Then their mouths closed as if they were lying.
I thought you would protest, but you seem to listen very well.
For some reason, it seems to be working well as he has a firm expression and calm tone of voice.

Is it because I feel like my dad is nagging me a bit harshly?
I need to use it occasionally to gain discipline.

“What are you doing? “Both of you, stop being childish.”

“No, I don’t know Asahina, but why are you calling me so childish… Ugh!”

I asked Hiyori, putting my arm around Miyuki’s shoulder and covering her mouth with her hand as she tried to refute her.

“Did you eat?”

“No.”

“Why did you come out now?”

“I want to eat.”

“Then let’s eat together.”

You should not be naive in your suggestions here.
If that were the case, there was a high possibility that both would say no.
Nowadays, you have to be shameless and make a notification in order to be effective.

“Can I eat with Miho? “They say he’ll come down in a little while.”

“Ask them to come to the restaurant.”

“Great.”

Looking at Miyuki, whose mouth was covered by my hand, Hiyori suddenly turned her head to the side.
It looks like he has a lot to say, but he seems to be holding back.

Miyuki was giving me a glare.
Why are you eating with Asahina?
She wanted to say this to me.

However, given her kind personality, no matter how annoying Hiyori was, she would not have been able to say such unpleasant things to the target’s face.
I’m in a situation where I can’t open my mouth right now.

Anyway, one fortunate thing is that the restaurant is buffet style.
Since we were able to have a brief conversation while we were preparing our food, I took the elevator up to the restaurant with the two of them.

“Seniors also get 1 penalty point.”

Hiyori’s words to me, who was still covering Miyuki’s mouth.
I guess I’m dissatisfied with Miyuki and my body parts touching each other.

“Don’t say anything strange and be quiet.”

“It’s a mouth meant to speak, so why?”

“Are you covering your mouth too?”

“Yes.”

It’s cute that she doesn’t give in to her reprimands and pushes her face towards her as if asking her to close her mouth.
The same goes for Miyuki, who rolls her eyes as if asking who she dares to attack.

However, if things continue like this, it seems unlikely that the two will ever become closer.
There are things I need to make clear about her position, but with Miyuki’s favorability towards Hiyori being low, it’s neither porridge nor rice.

As I thought before I came, I need to make sure that our relationship improves at least a little during the school trip.
Even if it doesn’t get better, we need to make it so that the core subsides.
Let’s try to get them both to give up one foot.

I patted Hiyori’s soft fur with my free hand and only let go of Miyuki after the elevator door opened.
Then Miyuki played with the area around her own reddened mouth and made a sullen expression on her face.

I patted her on the back and entered the restaurant, taking them to a table that could seat four people.
Afterwards, they were each asked to bring their own food, and the two headed to the food corner in opposite directions.

The situation is a bit cold, but it’s funny to see that.
With those thoughts in mind, I grabbed the bowl and walked over to Miyuki, who was putting her salmon sushi.

“It looks delicious.”

“You have to try it to find out. But Matsuda-kun.”

“Why.”

“His purpose is impure. It was weird the last time we worked out together, but try again today. “This is completely Matsuda-kun…”

“I will speak well.”

When I decisively interrupted Miyuki, she made a dissatisfied face.

“I have a lot to say.”

“Know. Let’s eat first and then do it in the room later.”

“… Okay.”

You’re surprisingly calm.
Is it because of what I said earlier about being quiet?
No, maybe I’m doing that because I’m in a good mood because of today’s date at the sea.

I caught a glimpse of Miyuki going to get a drink, and this time I approached Hiyori.
Then Hiyori grumbled in a low voice.

“You and Hanazawa-senpai talked about me behind my back, right?”

“What kind of gossip is behind your back? “I didn’t.”

“Do not lie. “I know everything.”

“I told you I didn’t do it. And…”

“I am confident.”

The fact that she suddenly says that even though she didn’t say anything is proof that Hiyori herself is being stabbed.
I said, giggling inwardly at her attitude, which was acting arrogant but was completely different on the inside.

“What is so proud?”

“It’s not right to do something like that in a place with a lot of people.”

“You told me not to be conservative, but now you seem much more conservative than me. “Do you feel like an old person?”

“Originally, if I do everything, it’s okay, but if someone else does it, it’s annoying.”

It looks like a classic example of Naeronambul.
Still, it’s admirable that you speak honestly without making excuses.

“Are we strangers?”

“No…! “That’s not the point…!”

Hiyori’s voice became nasal as she joked around in a mischievous tone.
Suppressing her immediate desire to pat her messy hair, I scolded her for being slightly embarrassed.

“Can’t things go smoothly with Miyuki?”

“I don’t think that’s possible.”

“Why? “Is it because our personalities are so different?”

“There is that, but there is another reason.”

“What?”

“That’s a secret.”

It sounds like she doesn’t want to give affection to her lover.
I said with a soft smile to Hiyori, who was putting shrimp in her mouth while declaring war against Miyuki.

“I want you two to stay close.”

“Why?”

“I’m very greedy.”

“What greed?”

It’s a face that genuinely doesn’t understand.
Considering Hiyori’s concept of chastity, it seems impossible to understand this far.
Be pure on the inside… Tsk tsk… Still, Hiyori will quickly understand what I mean.

Anyway, in the current situation, it is correct for Hiyori to approach Miyuki first.
No matter how much Miyuki kissed me to show Hiyori our relationship, there was no problem with that behavior.

On the other hand, the way Hiyori reacted today or last time, it seemed to the third party that she was trying to sabotage the couple.
That’s why she thinks it’s good to gently coax Hiyori to get her to approach Miyuki, and it looks good too.

“There’s just this and that. Anyway, do you promise to try to become friends with Miyuki?”

“Why do you want to make that promise only to me?”

“I did it to Miyuki too.”

“… Is it so?”

I did. Not today though.
I swallowed those words and nodded.

“Uh.”

“Then what did Hanazawa-senpai answer?”

“He said he would try.”

“Really?”

“That’s right.”

“It seems like a lie…”

“It’s not a lie.”

Miyuki is kind.
She is not mean to anyone who approaches her first.
If Hiyori takes a step back first, Miyuki will try to get along with Hiyori in her own way.
Unless Miyuki’s patience reaches the point where it explodes.

Hiyori also looks like a troublemaker on the outside, but she is a good person.
Right now, she was just being a bit aggressive out of anger because she was jealous, but she didn’t really have any resentment toward Miyuki.

“Well then… I’ll try my best.”

As expected, I smiled brightly at Hiyori, who gave a positive answer, and patted the back of her neck.

“Kind.”

Then her clear eyes softened to a noticeable extent.
One way or another, I guess I’m naive. We need to grow them quickly and eat them.

I sat down at the table with the food, and then Miyuki was next to me and Hiyori was on the other side of her with her hips, and I raised my chopsticks.
Afterwards, we were eating in a rather awkward atmosphere, and soon after, Miho, who had received a call from Hiyori, arrived.

She greeted me and Miyuki politely, looked suspiciously for a moment as if Hiyori was showing off a happy expression, and then seemed to understand the situation and quickly scooped up some food.

The good thing about Miho coming is that Hiyori’s speech became easier.
Having gained a strong ally, she started talking to Nana Miho little by little, and then she said what I wanted to Miyuki, who was eating food in silence.

“Hey, sorry about earlier.”

But isn’t the voice too creeping?
What should I do if I just talk loudly? At that level, I wouldn’t have heard it even if the restaurant was quiet.

“Huh? “What?”

“No.”

Hiyori makes fun of Miyuki, who asks back, not being able to hear her own voice.
It seems her pride can’t allow her to apologize again.

Still, I feel special that it came out like that first.
Let’s praise him later.

“… Bon appetit.”

Miyuki was also offering good words to Hiyori.
Did you remember what I said when I unpacked the food?
Perhaps Hiyori’s feelings could have been conveyed.

Fortunately, the mood gradually improved.
If this is the case, I think we can adjust the goal upward.
Just when I was thinking, “Let’s just keep going like this…”

“Ah, come on…!”

Miyuki suddenly jerked her body and looked under the table.
Then she looked at Hiyori, furrowing her own beautiful eyebrows.

“What are you doing now…? Why are you pinching my leg…!?”

“Yes…? No… I’m sorry… I have bad habits when eating…”

However, Hiyori’s reaction is very strange.
I felt incredibly embarrassed. They are even watching me.

Could it be that he was trying to take revenge on me by secretly pinching my leg with his foot, and then ended up touching Miyuki’s leg, which was right next to me?
Given the circumstances, I can’t think of anything else.

Miyuki’s gaze turned to Miho.
An expression as if he was trying to prove whether Hiyori’s words were true or not.
Miho, who got that look in her eyes, stopped while trying to take a bite-sized piece of fried food into her mouth, rolled her eyes, and said,

“Well… Hiyori is the type to make fun of her legs… It’s become a bit of a habit… And she often leaves bruises on my legs too.”

Her arms are bent inward, and I feel sorry for Miho, who protects Hiyori while sweating profusely.

“Okay…? What kind of habits do you have? Be careful.”

In response to Miyuki’s words, which slightly softened her angry face, Hiyori responded with an awkward smile.

“Yes…”

Then, as if she was disappointed, she regained her appetite and started eating again.
It was a bonus that he shot me once before.

The most pitiful person here is Miho.
I think I would feel a lot of mental fatigue from unintentionally seeing a passionate fight.
After finishing the meal, I should at least buy him a drink and treat him well.
