Zongman: I am on the set of Oregairu, playing the role of Bai Xue

『Ichiro Iroha·Fear.PNG (Limited)』

"Oh, don't be afraid, I'm not a good person."

"Those in front, wait to be tortured!"

"What a worthy remark~"

……

Facing Beinuo's questioning.

Isshi Iroha immediately shook her head, enduring the embarrassment of being exposed. She tried her best to make her unnatural smile look natural. [Ah, is that so? What is this senior talking about?]

She appeared to be nonchalant on the surface, but she didn't dare to look directly into Beinuo's eyes. Her clenched palms were already sweating, and she felt even more crazy and mad inside.

How can a violent and arrogant senior be so perceptive?! Shouldn't he be the kind of person who has muscles in his brain and can get away with a little deception? Why is he so perceptive and doesn't care about the girl's face at all? That's why he is alone! Alone! Misunderstood!

Bei Nuo didn't keep staring at her. After he shifted his gaze, he brought the subject back to the topic.

[Ye Shan, as you can see, the completely unfounded rumors are still strong, and even left a deep false impression in the minds of some people.]

Hearing this, Ye Shan couldn't help but look at Isshiki beside him, and then he exhaled, "Iroha, do you still believe those rumors? Sigh, but now that I see him in person, I think I can understand."

Even though Isshiki didn't quite understand, he still nodded "willingly", "Yeah, I understand. Senior is so easy to talk to. We should be able to get along well."

Hearing her nonsense, Bei Nuo couldn't help but laugh softly.

[…Ah, why are you smiling, senior?] Isshiki felt his facial muscles getting more and more sore. For the first time, he felt that acting cute in front of others was such a difficult challenge.

[So that's how it is. Just a few words to others can quickly clear up misunderstandings. The barriers between people in the world are just like this.]

Bei Nuo said with a smile and teasing, but to Isshiki, these words were obviously meant to undermine her, making her feel uncomfortable.

[Okay, I'm going back to the club first.] Bei Nuo didn't plan to explain anything and prepared to return to the service club alone.

But Hayama called him, "Hikigaya, how about we play soccer together?"

Bei Nuo turned around helplessly, "So this is your intention when you stood at this fork in the road, but is it really okay? The popular king Ye Shan has already lost to me in tennis, so now you want to find a place in football? I don't recommend you to do this."

[How could that be?] Ye Shan still had a bright smile on his face, [It was just a friendly exchange. Just like you said at the beginning, we get along well.]

Kitano paused, then glanced at Isshiki Iroha, "What do you think? If you refuse, I can use this as an excuse to shirk my responsibility."

Isshiki was visibly stunned.

She didn't expect that the topic would be brought back to her, and Beinuo's frank words were challenging her cute disguise.

He actually said it so bluntly! Couldn't he be more tactful? How could he reject it in person? Sure enough, he had some muscles in his head. He was simple, rough, and brainless...

[Ah, as a football manager, of course I welcome seniors to visit.] Isshiki tried to speak in a softer tone, stretched out his hand to fiddle with his bangs, and avoided Kitano's sight.

[Okay, wait till I put my bag down, and I'll ask you for advice later.] Bei Nuo glanced at the two of them, then continued walking towards the Service Club.

Isshiki looked at Kitano's departing figure and couldn't help asking: [Senior Hayama, Bi, Biki...]

〔Hikigaya.〕

[Oh, what club does Hikigaya-senpai belong to?]

[It's a little special. It's called the Service Club. According to the teacher, the Service Club is a place to provide help to students who are in trouble. However, few people know about it.]

[Eh…I see.] Isshiki made a note of this special club.

The camera turned.

Kitano came to the service club, where Yukinoshita was the only one sitting at the edge of the long table.

He briefly explained Yuigahama's movements, and Yukinoshita said that he had received Yuigahama's email. He nodded, put down his schoolbag, briefly explained his movements, and then walked out of the Service Club.

Yukinoshita watched the door slowly close, and the entire activity room became quiet again, and she sighed softly.

The camera switched again and came to the vicinity of the football field.

A group of boys in Sobu High School sportswear started their daily training on the football field. They are a group of passionate young people who love football and are writing a chapter of youth that belongs only to them with their sweat and hard work.

After daily physical training, they began to practice a series of basic skills such as passing, ball control, and shooting.

Bei Nuo looked at their running figures and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. The place where he was was very peaceful because Ye Shan was there to guide him and there was basically no one around to disturb him.

Although Bei Nuo can perform miracles with great strength, he still needs to further study his dribbling skills and learn some running-related experience from Ye Shan.

Isshiki stood in the distance, watching the two of them from time to time.

She gradually discovered that Beinuo's movements were actually quite ordinary. Even though Isse didn't care much about the football club's training, she had seen too many members who liked to sweat. Of course, she could sense a sense of awkwardness in Beinuo's kicking movements.

[It feels... so ordinary.]

The day ended abruptly, as did the following days. The animation used a fixed shot, aimed at the football field, to briefly show what happened afterwards.

The next day, Beinuo didn't come.

On the third day, the football club trained as usual.

On the fourth day, it rained.

The fifth and sixth days are holidays.

Another week has passed.

During this period, Beinuo occasionally came to the football club to play a few games, but there was still nothing outstanding about him.

Isshiki had also forgotten about the "rumored ace of the violent tennis club", but Kitano left her with another impression.

For example: He has great insight and can directly ignore his own disguise; he speaks profoundly and philosophically... he has some philosophy, but it is just difficult to refute; he often keeps to himself, well, his presence is not strong, so of course no one will care about him.

Until recently, after the Golden Week.

Isshiki walked into the first-grade C class alone, taking easy and cute steps as usual.

Some boys along the way quickly avoided the situation, some of them were afraid of being teased by Isshiki.

When Isshiki Iroha sat down, a small group of girls gathered near her seat and seemed to be discussing something.

Inadvertently, Isshiki heard the term "Ace of the Tennis Club" from their conversation, which immediately attracted her attention.

[I've actually met the ace of the tennis club. He looks ordinary and not as scary as the rumors say.]

One of the short-haired girls said this very proudly, and from her tone it was obvious that she had the final say in the conversation.

The girls nearby immediately became interested and asked their questions one after another around the topic of "Ace of the Tennis Club".

〔Really? What does he look like?〕

[Short hair, somewhat inconspicuous, can be seen everywhere.]

〔What did he talk to you about?〕

[No, we didn't talk much.] The short-haired girl thought for a moment and added, [I guess he only knows how to play tennis. Besides, he's quite familiar with Totsuka-senpai.]

[Is he really good at playing tennis?]

[Ah, I've seen it, there's nothing special about it, it's just other people bragging. You know, Hayama-senpai is better at football, and the other side has the advantage because of the change in talent.]

[So that's how it is.]

[Why don't someone give it a try? Maybe we can get in touch with Totsuka-senpai.]

……

Isshiki listened to their conversation for a while and found that a lot of the information was false. She had reason to suspect that they were making it up.

On second thought, she couldn't help but sigh that the "arrogant senior" was indeed unpopular. Even if someone was curious, they just wanted to use this opportunity to talk to Senior Totsuka.

Although Senior Totsuka is becoming more and more popular, he is not her cup of tea, and is not even as good as Senior Hayama. She already has the advantage as a football manager, so there is certainly no need for her to go far away.

It's a pity that Senior Hayama is not easy to conquer. On the one hand, Senior Miura is blocking him, and on the other hand, Senior Hayama himself has no intention of doing so for the time being. I don't know how long this protracted war will last.

The group of girls' conversation wasn't over yet.

[By the way, isn't Kaori good at writing? Why don't you go and invite her to write a love letter or something?]

〔Yeah, I think that's feasible.〕

The long-haired girl named Kaori looked a little embarrassed, and asked cautiously with a troubled tone, "Eh... this is not good..."

[What? Can't you just write something casually? Is Kaori afraid of being rejected?]

[That's right, we are here, don't worry, Kaori is still pretty, you have to believe in yourself.]

〔but……〕

[Huh? But what? Tell us, we can help you solve it.]

……

Isshiki couldn't help but frown, and her pretty face looked a little more gloomy, which scared the boys passing by so much that they quickly quickened their pace, fearing that she would take her anger out on them.

Isshiki doesn't care about Kaori's relationship with other people. He can even guess that Kaori will compromise. This has happened more than once or twice.

Therefore, Isshiki was more concerned about the love letter they were talking about. It would be interesting to ask the "arrogant senior" how he was teased, but...

Wouldn't it be better to watch it live?!

Or maybe I could record it as a record of the dark history of the "arrogant senior", that would also be nice.

Isshiki pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

The girls who often went against her didn't hide too much and revealed most of the information during casual conversation.

However, it doesn't matter even if they conceal the key information. Isshiki will use his own methods to obtain information from Kaori.

The time was quickly set by them, this afternoon.

Because the midterm exams are approaching, the afternoon club activities will be suspended and most students will have their own plans, so their whereabouts will naturally be erratic.

Today, after the club activities are over, Kaori will put the love letter into Beinuo's shoe cabinet a little earlier, and they will gather in a garden in the school, waiting for Kaori's love letter to take effect.

Isshiki silently memorized this information.

At noon, she took time out to go to the garden and look for the best spot to watch the show.

During the afternoon club activities, Isshiki unexpectedly spotted Kitano.

This coincidence allowed her to better grasp the timing of Beinuo's return to the shoe cabinet.

Isse concealed his joy and deliberately avoided Beinuo, fearing that the other party would notice something.

However, today's Beinuo is a little different.

He came to the football club specifically, actually wanting to use the cold treatment method to ease the conflict between Yuigahama and Yukinoshita.

Besides, Beinuo has other plans.

He quietly joined the training team of members and started training with them.

In short-distance sprints, change-of-direction running, and crossover steps, Beinuo showed a level that amazed everyone.

His running speed was like a gust of wind, and his body coordination was also excellent. When others had only run two rounds, Beinuo had already completed five rounds. Even the experienced members were left far behind by him.

Isse stared blankly at the agile figure, and the long-lost memories of the tennis match resurfaced in her mind.

She knew that the "arrogant senior" had real power, and the last time he exerted this power, Miura fell and cried. If Kitano was in a bad mood today, Kaori and others would probably be in big trouble.

However, the reason why Beinuo trained so hard was actually related to yesterday's email. After all, he was going to act out a combat script, and if he didn't adjust quickly, he would make a fool of himself.

With his current speed, he is far from exerting his true strength, and he even has some weights hidden on his body.

Isse, who didn't know the truth, became more and more uneasy. Seeing Beinuo's serious look, how could she not panic? As expected, you still have to believe in rumors a little bit, because rumors may become facts.

So when the club was about to end, she made up an excuse, came to the shoe cabinet early, and began to check the names on the shoe cabinet one by one.

Isshiki had no intention of waiting near the shoe cabinet, as the space was so small and it would be easy to be noticed, so he decided to wait near the garden.

[Found it!]

After some searching, she finally found Beinuo's shoe cabinet.

When I opened it, there was only a pair of common sneakers and nothing else.

Isshiki was stunned for a moment. She looked around carefully again, but the result was the same.

[Why not? Kaori...didn't she put it in? Impossible, Kaori's personality wouldn't be like that—]

Isshiki suddenly thought of something and immediately opened several compartments near the Beinuo shoe cabinet.

As a result, a love letter written by Kaori was found in the shoe cabinet above Kitano.

Isshiki gently took it out, it was a pink envelope.

As expected, the name "Hikigaya-senpai" was written on the envelope. The handwriting was beautiful and neat, and one could tell at a glance that it was a girl's handwriting. There were no wrinkles on the surface of the envelope, it was brand new and smooth, and the seal was also handled very delicately. All these details showed the weight that the paper carried.

[Oh, so it's here. Did I put it in the wrong place... or is this a way to show my resistance?]

Isshiki is unaware of Kaori's true intentions.

No matter what it is, as long as Kaori is still in that group, things like today's will happen again in the future.

Isshiki couldn't help but sigh, [Why not be a little more cunning...]

However, before she could completely relax, a familiar voice suddenly rang out beside her, causing her to tremble all over:

[Isshiki, what are you doing standing in front of my shoe cabinet?]
