Zongman: Unknowingly trapped in the hatchet

?

"No bread?"

Hikigaya looked puzzled and asked excitedly:

"If you don't eat bread, do you have to order takeout? So, are you suddenly rich?!"

If my good brother becomes rich, can't I just curry favor with him?

Hikigaya was grumbling in his heart, and suddenly he felt that the future was bright.

"…It's definitely not takeout, and your task now is to stop your unrealistic fantasies."

Su Qing recalled that Mahiru had specifically told him this morning not to go out to buy food by himself at noon, and asked him to stay in the classroom and wait for her. In fact, he had already guessed it in his mind.

But then again, why hasn't Mahiru come yet?

Did something happen...

Su Qing couldn't help but start to worry.

Just when he was about to go out to find Mahiru, several girls in his class came over timidly, looking as if they wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Is there a problem?"

Su Qing asked concisely.

"what...."

One girl was startled and it looked like she was not prepared for what to say.

Seeing Su Qing's puzzled expression, the leading girl didn't intend to waste each other's time.

But when his eyes met Su Qing's, he couldn't help but tense up for a moment:

"Well, we heard that you seemed to have defeated the legendary Yang No-senpai in archery, so we wanted to ask if it was true..."

Su Qing was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

He frowned slightly and asked:

"Who said that?"

"I just heard it from the seniors in the department. Oh, I forgot to introduce ourselves. We are all from the Kyudo Club, so we were a little curious and wanted to ask. No bad intentions..."

The girl who took the lead thought that Su Qing was unhappy about the rumors, so she quickly explained.

"That's it."

Su Qing nodded, and then explained: "It can't be considered a defeat. At most, we just had a sparring match."

Every word he said was actually true.

Formal Kyudo competitions test not only accuracy, but also etiquette and other aspects.

"What was the result of the sparring? Did you shock Yang No-senpai by shooting five arrows in a row and scoring all ten rings?"

“…If you put it that way, I guess.”

"I'll just say it's true!" One of the girls jumped up excitedly and invited,

"Then, Su, are you interested in joining our Kyudo club?"

"I already have a club, and I'm not really interested in Kyudo."

Su Qing refused without thinking.

But at this moment, I inexplicably thought that it would be fun if Yukino was here.

I don’t know what the minister’s expression would be when I poached her in front of her.

Su Qing couldn't help but smile when he thought of this.

Seeing that the other party did not accept, the girls did not act disappointed. After all, this was just an excuse for them to take the opportunity to chat with Su Qing.

They are not ministers, so it is not their turn to worry about the future of the department and the recruitment of new members.

After the few people left, Yui couldn't help but exclaimed:

"Hey, it turns out Xiaoqing is so good at archery! I remember Sister Xiaoxue was the champion of their national archery competition."

Su Qing tilted his head slightly and glanced at Yui, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Shouldn't we generally focus on when something happens?

The other party's focus is really strange.

"No, is it true?"

Hikigaya's mouth opened wide enough to fit an egg in an instant, and he was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.

No, buddy, you are doing this secretly behind my back, right?

He felt like a mixture of emotions, with all kinds of feelings flooding into his mind.

"It seems... to be true."

Ayaka thoughtfully gave Hikigaya the information she had searched for about Haruno.

Hikigaya felt disheartened after just one look.

"In fact, Kyudo is not as difficult as you think. As long as you calm down, it is actually very simple."

Su Qing summarized it simply.

However, this kind of thing is often easier said than done.

"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

After Su Qing finished talking to the others, he looked at Yui and was about to say something, but Yui spoke first:

"Xiaoqing, if you have something to do, go and do it~"

"...Okay. I'll have dinner with you next time."

That’s all Su Qing could say.

Yukino actually wouldn't be mad at Yui, so the girl in front of him today wanted to have dinner with him.

Su Qing knew this clearly.

After saying that, he hurried out of the classroom.

The pace seemed a bit hurried.

This is very rare for Su Qing, who is always calm and composed.

Hikigaya looked at the other person's departing back, and out of the corner of his eye he noticed that Yui's gaze was still fixed on the door.

After hesitating for a long time, he said:

"Um...Is this really okay?"

"Huh? What does that mean?"

Yui turned her head as if awakened, her bright eyes filled with confusion that was totally inconsistent with her expression.

——She really seemed to not understand what Hikigaya was saying.

"It's just...Aren't you curious about what he's in such a hurry to do?"

Hikigaya felt that Su Qing was a little abnormal today, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

Friendships between boys tend not to be particularly sensitive.

But for girls, especially those with a crush on the opposite sex, it is harder to say what kind of "friendship" it is.

"I am a little curious. But everyone has their own private space. Even friends can't explore too much, right?"

After thinking for a while, Yui said seriously.

"Ah... Is that what you think?"

Hikigaya didn't know how many times he had been shocked today.

He really wanted to pinch his thigh now.

No.

Does this sound like something that Yuigahama, who is always laughing, would say?

I guess he's not pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger on weekdays.

Or is this also the reason why I stayed with Su Qing for so long?

Then he is just as exaggerated as the [Enlightenment Stone] in the novel...

"Yeah. I also have to go to the club office to look for Xiaoxue. Bye."

Yui nodded and stared at the door through which Su Qing left for a while.

After a while, he said goodbye to the two of them and left the classroom.

Huh?

Why are everyone gone?

Then it's just me and...

While Hikigaya was daydreaming, a gentle call came to his ears.

"Um... Hachiman, there are only two of us left~"

Hikigaya looked over when he heard the voice, and when he saw the pale pink rising on Ayaka's face, his throat subconsciously rolled.

……

At this time, Su Qing had already come to the next class and asked about Mahiru's situation.

"So, Mahiru was called over by the teacher to help out?"

After being asked by several "enthusiastic" female classmates, Su Qing quickly got the answer he wanted.

"Oh, yes, yes, yes. What do you want to talk to her about? I can help you convey it!"

A female classmate said with a smile, and the rest of the classmates had already pricked up their ears, ready to listen to the gossip.

The feeling of eating melons on the spot is really exciting!

And they are two top students, they are a perfect match!

"No, thank you. I'll just go to the teacher's office and wait for her."

Su Qing smiled politely and left the classroom again.

Behind me, the female classmates chattered:

"Hey, do you think Su-san is with Shiina? He actually calls her Mahiru directly!"

"It's possible. They were so close to each other during the last sports festival!"

"Speaking of being close, isn't Yuigahama Yui from their class the same?"

"…Isn't that a scumbag?"

"Shouldn't it be...?"

……
