Hmm?
Hoshino-kun looked for me.
Seeing the message from Hoshino Jun, Kato Nana felt an inexplicable joy in her heart.
'He bullied me just yesterday, and today he's asking me to come over again.'
'Hoshino-kun is truly a complete baka.'
'Of course, I have to listen to such a bad person's orders.'
'Otherwise, if he gets angry and bullies me badly again, what will I do?'
Poor, weak, and helpless Nana had no choice but to meekly obey the domineering Hoshino-kun's command.
"部長, I have something I need to take care of, so I need to leave a bit early."
Kato Nana forcibly suppressed the corners of her mouth, which were almost uncontrollably turning up, and then requested to leave early from the Tea Ceremony Club's president.
"That's fine, Nana-chan. It's already this late, so you can go home first."
The president of the Tea Ceremony Club was also a kind person and had no intention of stopping Kato Nana.
"Thank you, President."
Politely bowing in thanks, Kato Nana slung her backpack over her shoulders and jogged towards the school gate.
Hoshino-kun is too fierce; I must hurry and get there, or I'll definitely be punished again.
The evening glow grew deeper as the evening progressed, and the distant mountains were also painted a brilliant red, as if enveloped by a layer of amber light, breathtakingly beautiful.
A gentle breeze brushed against the girl's cheek, carrying the scent of flowers, and her joyful heart flew with it into the distance.
She had already seen Hoshino-kun's back.
What's with this sudden nervousness?
"Beep ~ beep ~"
Just as Kato Nana was about to reach Hoshino Jun, Hoshino-kun sent her another message.
"Stop, walk slowly, don't get too close to me too fast."
Huh?
Why?
Why can't Nana get close to Hoshino-kun?
Kato Nana was full of questions, but it was Hoshino-kun's command, so she obediently complied.
She slowed her pace, following behind Hoshino Jun, maintaining a certain distance.
After walking a short distance, Kato Nana couldn't help but send a LINE message asking, "Hoshino-kun, is something wrong?"
Hoshino Jun replied, "Don't ask, look back. There's a ghost behind you. You need to be flustered and scared."
"There's a ghost behind Nana?"
Kato Nana was actually a materialist; she didn't believe in ghosts or anything like that.
So she wondered, could Hoshino-kun be a superstitious person?
No way. Hoshino-kun, who always seemed fearless, couldn't possibly be a superstitious person afraid of ghosts.
Most likely, he was inviting Nana to role-play.
Thinking of this, the girl's lips curved upwards, her eyes slightly crinkled, and the air around her became much lighter.
Her happiness didn't last long, because the girl suddenly remembered that, according to Hoshino-kun's instructions, she should now be scared and flustered.
So Kato Nana tried her best to put on a panicked expression, glanced behind her, then immediately turned back, bent over, and took small, hurried steps towards the crowded area ahead.
'This should be pretty much what it looks like to see a ghost, right?'
'I wonder if Hoshino-kun is satisfied with Nana's performance.'
Seeing the girl obediently do everything he had arranged from a short distance away, Hoshino Jun unconsciously pursed his lips and smiled softly, his eyes slightly lowered, his handsome appearance stunning many girls around him.
Kato Nana also saw Hoshino Jun's smile, and after a moment of 愣, a blush appeared on her face.
She couldn't help it; she wanted to go to Hoshino Jun's side immediately and ask him if he wanted to bully her.
But Hoshino Jun seemed to have seen through all her planned actions, as a message on LINE was sent again just as Kato Nana had the thought of going to him.
"Run! The ghost is chasing you! I'll come find you after I defeat the ghost."
"Huh?" Kato Nana pouted slightly in dissatisfaction, then continued to follow Hoshino-kun's instructions.
Is Hoshino-kun playing some hero saving the princess from the ghost king game?
Boys are really childish.
Well, to avoid being abused by Hoshino-kun, I'd better just run obediently.
The red glow was moving towards the western mountains, no longer obscuring the huge setting sun, allowing the golden sunlight to pour over Tokyo.
Because the road from the school to the school gate was an uphill slope, Hoshino Jun, at the school gate, could clearly see what was happening below.
For example, Takayanagi Jo-kun was playing his old tricks again.
"Click," "click," he snapped a flurry of photos of Hoshino Jun, triggering several debts in a row.
[Ding!]
[Detected multiple malicious sneak shots and information leaks from Takayanagi Jo-kun!]
[If you choose not to pursue, you will receive three C-level favor debts.]
Why would I pursue it?
Takasaki-kun has already gone to pursue Jo-kun.
So, there's no need for Hoshino Jun, who knows nothing, right?
[It has been determined that Takayanagi Jo-kun is unable to repay this favor debt, and the debt has been automatically transferred to his mother, "Takayanagi Yuki."]
Jo-kun is truly a filial son. Aunt Yuki had just finished repaying her debts not long ago, and he's already added five more debts to her.
Raising his hand to block the sunlight of the setting sun, Hoshino Jun watched Takasaki Yusuke walk step by step towards Takayanagi Jo-kun.
Then, when he suddenly punched Takayanagi Jo-kun, who hadn't noticed him at all, Hoshino Jun left satisfied.
Hoshino Jun could probably guess the rest of the plot.
So, he wouldn't linger; he would just wait for someone to come find him.
"The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it's only near dusk."
"Takasaki-kun, thank you for helping me with such a big favor before you left."
The Yamada financial group and its two allied groups founded high schools in every district of Tokyo, but only one in each place.
If Yamada Tsukasa helped with the transfer, it would most likely be to another school under the financial group.
Therefore, it would be difficult to see Takasaki Yusuke again in different areas in the future.
He would live in the dorms there and start a new life there.
Losing a diligent ATM machine was truly one of life's great regrets.
"..."
"Ah!" Takayanagi Jo-kun screamed, clutching his face, which was red and swollen from the punch, and stared angrily at Takasaki Yusuke: "baka, are you crazy?!"
Although he had a big fight with Takasaki Yusuke the day before yesterday, Takayanagi Jo-kun had no intention of hitting Takasaki Yusuke.
He certainly didn't expect Takasaki Yusuke to hit him.
"You damn bastard, I'm not crazy. Today I'm hitting you."
Takasaki Yusuke was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, extremely irritable, and snatched Takayanagi Jo-kun's phone.
Then he opened the photo album and searched, and sure enough, the few recent photos were all of Kato Nana.
This scoundrel! Last time, because he secretly photographed Nana, and I helped him, it planted the seed for my breakup with Nana.
Who knew that when I came to handle the transfer procedures today, I would see him secretly photographing Nana again?
This is unbearable! Does he really think I have no temper?
"baka, you damn pervert, I'm going to send you to the Police station today."
"What?" Hearing this, Takayanagi Jo-kun knew that Takasaki Yusuke had misunderstood.
He wanted to explain, but Takasaki Yusuke cut him off, answering what he wanted to say.
"Heh heh, last time you said you were taking a picture of Hoshino Jun and accidentally got Nana in it. Do you think you can use the same excuse to deceive me again?"
"Look at Hoshino Jun in the photo; he's so blurry you can barely see him."
"Am I that easy to fool, baka!"
This time, Takasaki Yusuke had seen it with his own eyes. Originally, when he saw Kato Nana, he thought Nana would walk with Hoshino Jun.
But that wasn't the case at all; Hoshino Jun was quite far away.
Instead, it was this ill-intentioned Takayanagi Jo-kun who had been following Nana and taking pictures the whole way.
Before leaving, he had to punish him.
