Zongman: Unknowingly trapped in the hatchet

?

It turns out that cats are the cutest creatures in the world!

Yukino touched Kamakura's soft fur, a bright smile appeared on her face, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

It would be nice if there were Meow Stars...

"Um...Xiaoxue, can you let me have a try?"

Yui, who was standing by, had been eager to do something since the beginning. Ever since the incident of feeding a cat when she was a child, she hadn't had the courage to touch a cat for more than ten years.

Maybe it was because Kamakula was so cute, or maybe it was because Su Qing had just finished popularizing science and she was eager to try it.

In short, Yui wants to break through herself.

"no problem?"

Yukino looked at Yui with concern, because she knew that she was afraid of cats.

"Are you afraid of cats, Sister Yui?"

The observant Komachi inquired after noticing Yui's nervous squeezing of her hands.

"Because of some reasons, there is a little bit, but now... it should be fine!"

At this moment, Yui really wanted to see Su Qing, for no reason at all.

But she controlled herself in the end. She didn't want the other person to think that she had the courage to do this because of him.

"Don't push yourself."

Caijia reminded warmly, with a worried look on her face.

"It's not a big problem. Kamakura is very well behaved, right?"

Su Qing spoke in a relaxed tone, but he didn't look at anyone. Instead, he looked at Kamakula with a smile on his face, as if he was talking to a cat.

Miraculously, Kamakula also responded at this time, as if confirming Su Qing's question.

"Meow~~"

Then, it slowly stood up from Yukino's thighs, tilted its head, and its orange-yellow eyes immediately reflected Yui's somewhat nervous face.

[People, I am so cute, why are you afraid of me?]

From Yui's perspective, this chubby gray and white kitten seemed to be questioning her like this.

[Little Orange…]

Yui thought about the stray cat she fed again, but she quickly stopped thinking about it.

Pursing her lips tightly, Yui quickly and successfully picked up Kamakura, and then started playing with the kitten like Su Qing and Yukino.

"Congratulations, Sister Yui, for your success!"

Komachi celebrated at the right moment.

“Does it feel nice to touch?”

Seeing that no accidents occurred, Yukino's heart finally settled down, and she asked with a relieved smile.

"Hmm... it's a strange feeling, completely different from touching Sabre."

Yui, who didn't even dare to breathe just now, now smiled with relief.

Has she, who has always been timid, really become braver than before?

But if... this courage could come earlier...

The sunlight shines through the treetops, through the window screens, and pours down onto the kotatsu like gold.

It was so warm that it didn't seem like winter.

Yui secretly glanced at Su Qing, and found that he was also looking at her with his chin supported, with the same faint smile on his face as always, surrounded by tiny bits of light.

Everything seems as beautiful as when we first saw it.

The girl quickly lowered her head, her pretty face flushed with light.

"Hmm... this seems a bit boring. With so many of us here, do you want to play some games?"

Yukino was sitting next to Yui, at a very close distance. She watched the girl out of the corner of her eyes, then looked up and asked everyone.

"Games? OK, we have Monopoly or something like that at home, how about that?"

Komachi raised her hands high, looking excited.

"It's going to be troublesome to get it, right? It's pretty cold today, so it's better to just sit by the fireplace and play some other games."

Yukino gave her own reasons, she seemed to have other purposes.

Hachiman and Su Qing looked at each other at the same time, both of them thoughtful.

"Well, since Sister Yukino said so...it's more comfortable to stay by the heater. Komachi has become a useless person who can't live without the heater."

Komachi put his head on the table lazily and spoke lazily.

"If there is a game that can be played without props, what should I play?"

Hachiman asked.

"Truth or Dare...how about it?"

Yukino pretended to think for a few seconds, then spoke slowly.

"Such a familiar game..."

Caijia remembered that it was she who suggested this game last time...

“Huh?! Is this a game like this?”

Komachi was stunned, her expression a little dull.

Even high school students don’t play this kind of game anymore, but college students still play it…

"What, what's wrong?"

Yukino didn't expect Komachi to react like this, and was a little flustered.

"Well... nothing much, I just feel like... I haven't played this kind of game for a long time."

Komachi half closed her eyes and troubled herself for a long time before she slowly explained.

"……I see."

Yukino's plan was disrupted. She had wanted to use this game to help Yui and Su Qing "break the ice", but now it seems that this is not going to work.

"But I haven't played it much yet. It's nice to play it once in a while, right?"

Hachiman blinked at Komachi repeatedly, as if hinting at something.

Although he didn't understand what Yukino was going to do, he could guess that it was related to Su Qing and Yui.

"Ah...! But speaking of which, Komachi actually loves playing this game!"

Komachi understood her brother immediately, so she quickly touched the back of her head and explained with an embarrassed smile.

[What are these two people doing?]

Su Qing sighed in his heart, feeling helpless.

He understood that they both meant well, but it was not necessary.

"Hachiman, if I remember correctly, we just played together at the club two weeks ago, right?"

"Eh... Come to think of it, it seems to be the case? My my."

When Hachiman saw Su Qing looking at him, he looked away guiltily, and then changed his words.

[What the hell are you doing, bro? You're changing your face so quickly! You're a complete deserter!]

Komachi was completely confused. Although she vaguely sensed that Yui seemed to have some feelings for Su Qing, she was not sure about more.

"Then... let's think of other games? For example, Draw and Guess is very popular!"

Yui raised her eyes and quickly suggested.

"Komachi is about to take the college entrance exam, so I think we should play some brain-stimulating games, such as... English word chain, how about that?"

Su Qing gave a reason that no one could refuse.

It would be a dead giveaway if he then smiled and said he had memorized the entire Oxford English-Chinese Dictionary.

“Ah…! No, you must be targeting me, right? This is too much!”

Yui holds her head in Tom style.

It turns out that Sister Yui is a poor student?

Interesting, interesting. At the moment, it seems to be a story about a poor student secretly falling in love with the top student in the class.

Komachi has read a thousand romance novels and can quickly come up with many touching plots in her mind.

"It's very simple. It's really not difficult. Words like apple can also be used. And... it can also be used to test whether you have memorized words well recently."

Su Qing said with a smile, leaving no room for the other party to refuse.

Did he really make me cry so hard that he still cared about my studies? ?

Yui felt like crying but had no tears at this moment. She recalled the days when she couldn't go anywhere during break time and could only stay at her desk and do her homework.

"Well, then come on!"

There is no way to hold back even for a moment, and now the person who appears is... Yui, who is blessed with the aura of courage!

……

two minutes later

"Woo woo woo, I don't play hot! Why am I the one who gets the most posts?"

Yui had a bunch of small white notes stuck to her eyes with tears in her eyes, and she felt melancholy.

All of this started because the sinister Komachi thought that just playing word games was boring, so she found these punishment props.

The results are predictable...

Isn't this obviously bullying honest people?

"How about changing the rules? You have to say the meaning of the word while you're playing the chain. Just one definition is enough."

Su Qing, who had no note on his face, was still exerting his strength.

"Wait...how big is your vocabulary?"

Yukino, who had a piece of paper stuck on each side of her forehead, also realized that something was wrong.

Su Qing has [Super Memory]. What is the difference between playing this kind of game with the other party and going to Korea to play a Go competition?

"I haven't counted them, but I have memorized the Oxford English-Chinese Dictionary."

Su Qing said.

"A whole book?"

If Komachi's eyes widen and a sharp explosion sound is emitted, then this Komachi is not pure...

"Ah."

Su Qing nodded.

"Huh? In that case, then go and be a good referee!"

The corners of Hachiman's mouth twitched slightly, and he acted as a mouthpiece for everyone.

The others nodded after hearing this.

Not being able to afford the fun is one thing, but being a treasure is another.

"Okay, let me start over."

Su Qing sighed lightly, looking very hurt, then thought about it and spoke.

"Speaking of which, I have a comic book that I'm going to release soon, so should I use 'release'? This word has many meanings. In addition to release, it also means... [release]."

Su Qing looked at Yui, as if the second half of the sentence was specifically addressed to her.

But when playing games, it seems that I forget all the worries and focus on playing the game.

Therefore, at this moment, no one understood Su Qing's deep meaning...
