Chapter 42 We Have a Traitor Among Us
Chapter 42 We Have a Traitor Among Us
Inoue Kaito and Tanaka Shota exchanged a glance and tacitly skipped the relationship counseling. The two, who had just been sighing, were now full of energy.
In a sense, Shiraishi Saku has already resolved their emotional issues.
While being single is certainly painful, seeing one's wonderful companions single is even more comforting.
Inoue Kaito mentioned another incident: "I saw a car drive into the school this morning. I wonder what it was for. Did some officials come to visit?"
Shota Tanaka interjected, "Was it around 10 a.m.? If so, I might know."
"If you know, just tell us!" Inoue Kaito nudged his friend with his elbow. "Stop keeping us in suspense, Shiraishi's waiting to hear!"
Shiraishi Saku wanted to tell the two of them that he didn't want to hear it; he just wanted to find a quiet place so the two of them could eat their lunches together.
He can leave easily from here, but it's a bit more difficult from the girl's body.
"It must be the transfer student's car. A new transfer student has arrived in Class D!" Tanaka Shota said mysteriously.
"So what if he's a transfer student?" Inoue Kaito was greatly disappointed. He's just a transfer student, not even in his class, what's so strange about him?
"She's a beautiful blonde with blue eyes!" Shota Tanaka added.
Inoue Kaito immediately stood up: "Let's go, let's go find our classmates in Class D!"
There's nothing to worry about with transfer students, but a blonde, blue-eyed beauty transfer student is a rare breed!
Inoue Hoshidou couldn't wait to go and see.
"Let's go, Shiraishi." Inoue Kaito and Tanaka Shota didn't forget to call out to Shiraishi Saku.
Shiraishi Saku had mixed feelings. He was right in front of the two of them, yet they had to walk through three classrooms to see him.
It was precisely because there were so many students like the two of them that the girl was unable to escape, and the entrance to Class D was blocked!
Even if she leaves the classroom, she will still be watched on the road, making it difficult to meet up with him secretly.
"Let's go quickly," Inoue Kaito and Tanaka Shota urged again.
"I'm not interested, you guys go ahead." Shiraishi Saku was observing the situation on the girl's side, where some girls were already inviting her to eat lunch together.
Although Shiraishi Saku was preparing to develop a set of interpersonal relationships with the girls, ordinary classmates were not included, as that would be the most ineffective form of social interaction.
"Then we're leaving." Inoue Kaito and Tanaka Shota left their seats and walked towards Class D.
Behind them, Airi Asakura and Asami Yamashita also walked out.
The news of the beautiful transfer student had already spread, and Shiraishi Saku frequently heard the term in conversations around him.
Five minutes later, a commotion arose at the classroom door. Inokai Kaito and Tanaka Shota ran into the classroom, excitedly surrounding Shiraishi Saku and talking noisily.
"What a beautiful transfer student!" Inoue Kaito slapped Shiraishi Saku's desk.
"What blonde hair and blue eyes!" Shota Tanaka patted Saku Shiraishi on the shoulder.
"It's so beautiful, Shiraishi, it's such a shame you didn't go see it!"
"But it's alright, Asakura knows her and brought her along!"
"She'll be here soon!"
"Look, Shiraishi!"
The two of them took turns plucking Shiraishi Shuo's head and pointing it towards the classroom door, so that this good brother from the singles alliance could also see the beautiful girl.
Their intentions pleased Shiraishi Saku, but couldn't they have chosen a different beautiful girl? What did he mean by looking at her?
The flow of people in the corridor surged toward Class A like a tide, only to be blocked by the classroom door, revealing the three people in the middle.
Airi Asakura led Natsumi Yukimiya by the hand as they walked across the stage, with Asami Yamashita following behind them with her head down.
"Isn't it beautiful, Shiraishi!" Inoue Kaito slapped Shiraishi Saku hard on the back.
"Get excited, Shiraishi!" Tanaka Shota slapped Shiraishi Saku's shoulder hard.
How am I supposed to answer this question? The former is boasting, the latter is narcissism.
"However..." Inoue Kaito and Tanaka Shota paused, their excitement fading as they sat back down in their chairs.
They all sighed, "This has nothing to do with us."
Inoue Kaito tore open a loaf of fried bread and said sadly, "Why has things become so cold down there?"
Shota Tanaka took a bite of his croissant and lamented, "Why hasn't Nakajima contacted me anymore?"
Who is Nakajima? How did a character like him suddenly appear?
And aren't you two too compatible? Didn't you say before that you could guess each other's thoughts? What exactly did your all-boys junior high school do to you?!
Shiraishi Saku suppressed the urge to complain; once this topic was brought up, he would never have peace of mind.
He picked up his lunchbox, preparing to find an excuse to leave, and then have the girl leave the classroom to meet up with him.
Thanks to Airi Asakura, the "girlish body" phenomenon gained a small following in the eyes of others, resulting in a significant decrease in attention.
The meeting place was yet to be determined, and Shiraishi Saku really didn't know where on campus was secluded. The rooftop was definitely out of the question. Although in anime it was a classic lunchbox spot, in reality, because Japanese students loved to jump off and transform into "student-chan," the rooftop was a forbidden area.
While he was thinking, Airi Asakura raised her hand and waved at him.
He knew he was in trouble, and she raised her hand to stop her, but the class's most beautiful girl spoke too quickly.
"Shiraishi! I've brought Yukimiya to you!" Asakura Airi pulled Yukimiya Natsune along and quickly came to Shiraishi Saku.
Thank you so much!
"Get out of the way," Airi Asakura waved to shoo away Kaito Inoue and Shota Tanaka, "Don't disturb this couple's meal!"
Inoue Kaito and Tanaka Shota grabbed their bread, stood up, and looked around blankly.
What couple? Where are there couples? Who are couples?
Their gazes swept over Yukimiya Natsumi and Shiraishi Saku, glancing at the bento boxes in front of Shiraishi Saku and in Yukimiya Natsumi's hands—they were the same style but different colors.
A flicker of realization crossed their dull eyes, followed by overwhelming pain. They both took a step back, gazing sorrowfully at the traitor before them.
"Huh, what's wrong?" Airi Asakura scratched her hair, not understanding what had happened.
Since things have come to this, let's eat first.
Shiraishi Saku handed his chair to Yukimiya Natsune, then took Inoue Kaito's chair and sat down. He took the bento box from the girl's hand and opened it for her. The bento lid was quite tight; although the girl could open it, a red mark appeared on her hand.
Yukimiya Natsumi took out two sets of chopsticks, wiped them with a tissue, and handed them to Shiraishi Saku.
Their actions definitively confirmed their relationship. Inoue Kaito and Tanaka Shota held each other's shoulders, comforting one another, and together they condemned the traitor.
"Never been in a relationship?" they asked through gritted teeth.
"Huh? Did I say something inappropriate?" Airi Asakura shrank back, realizing she had done something she shouldn't have.
"It's alright," Yukimiya Natsune comforted Asakura Airi. She and he had a contingency plan.
Shiraishi Saku replied to Inoue and Tanaka: "It's not a formal discussion yet."
"Not interested in romance?" The two recited Shiraishi Saku's classic line word by word.
Bai Shishuo was silent for a moment: "She's different."
I never thought I'd be saying this one day!
Moreover, Yukimiya Natsune is truly different. Can I be the same as others?
Inoue Kaito and Tanaka Shota laughed in exasperation. They took deep breaths, having some suspicions that Shiraishi Saku was hiding his romantic history, given that he had consistently rejected other girls.
Moreover, this is a good thing.
They changed their attitude, respectfully squatting down in front of Bai Shishuo, each taking one of the boy's hands, and sincerely said, "Teach us!"
While a friend's success may be enviable, the lessons learned from successful people are even more anticipated.
"I can't teach him." Shiraishi Shuo didn't want to get involved with these two troublesome people.
"Why! Aren't you very experienced?!" the two asked in anguish.
Shiraishi Saku looked at the girl's body.
Yukimiya Natsune put down her chopsticks and tilted her head to look at the two of them: "Because it was me who pursued Shiraishi-kun."
