Madam, believe me, how can I be a minotaur?

As soon as he stepped out of the study, he happened to see Konno Yuka settling onto the sofa, as if she had just sat down.

"What's wrong?"

Asano Makoto asked with some surprise, walking to the sofa with the booklet.

Hearing his voice, Konno Yuka seemed startled, even her body trembled slightly.

"N-nothing."

After saying this to cover up, she immediately changed the subject: "Did you find it, Asano-kun?"

Although he still felt a little strange, hearing her words, Asano Makoto simply stopped thinking about it and sat down on the sofa, saying, "Yes, I found it. Lucky me, Konno-san. Should I call now?"

Konno Yuka nodded: "Okay, thank you, Asano-kun."

After saying this, she visibly became a little nervous, even forgetting to move, allowing Asano Makoto to sit very close to her.

"You're welcome."

Saying this, Asano Makoto took out his phone from his pocket, then opened the first page of the booklet and dialed the number on it.

Of course, he didn't forget to turn on the speakerphone.

After a melodious ringtone, the call was finally answered, and a young female voice came from the phone: "Moshi moshi, this is Hashimoto, who is this?"

Asano Makoto greeted politely: "Hello, Class President Hashimoto, this is Asano Makoto."

The person on the other end was his high school class president.

Therefore, Class President Hashimoto was one of the few people in the class who had deeper contact with Asano Makoto, and she was also the one who suggested creating this booklet to give to Asano Makoto.

On the other end of the phone, after hearing the name "Asano Makoto", Class President Hashimoto instantly became excited: "A, Asano-kun? Asano-kun from our class?!"

Listening to the familiar voice on the other end that seemed to have become a little incoherent, Asano Makoto subconsciously paused for a second before responding: "It's me, Asano Makoto from Class 2, Second Year, Kaijo High School—Class President Hashimoto, long time no see."

"Wow! Asano-kun, you really are him!"

After receiving Asano Makoto's affirmative answer, Class President Hashimoto instantly became even more excited, and questions and words of concern poured out like a machine gun: "How have you been lately? Are you doing well? Where are you developing now?"

Although she asked many questions, Asano Makoto didn't answer any of them because he simply didn't have the chance to speak.

After unexpectedly receiving Asano Makoto's initiative to contact her, Hashimoto seemed to have become a little too excited.

For the sake of politeness, and also because of the feelings he felt in the study just now, Asano Makoto didn't interrupt the excited Hashimoto, but just quietly listened to her talking non-stop.

However, because Konno Yuka was right next to him listening, Asano Makoto couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

And Konno Yuka, who was originally trying hard to hold her breath, subconsciously daring not to make any sound, couldn't help but secretly laugh twice after hearing these words.

Even her eyes looking at Asano Makoto had changed.

The eyes that were exposed under the mask and baseball cap seemed to be saying: This girl seems to care about you a lot. It seems Asano-kun was very popular in high school.

Noticing her gaze, Asano Makoto immediately became even more embarrassed.

Although he also knew that those female classmates in the past might have had some feelings for him, he didn't expect that after so long, the other party still seemed to be like this.

Fortunately, after a while, Hashimoto on the other end of the phone finally calmed down and said a little embarrassedly: "Ah! I'm sorry, Asano-kun, because I haven't talked to you in so long, I seem to be a little too excited and have been talking to myself…"

Just then, Konno Yuka finally couldn't help but laugh.

However, it could be heard that her laughter wasn't mocking, nor did it carry any malice.

She laughed at this time simply because her sense of humor was low, and she would often laugh uncontrollably because of some inexplicable things.

The first time they met, she suddenly laughed for this reason.

But even laughter without malice had a somewhat large impact on Asano Makoto, and it was like this both times.

And at this moment, Asano Makoto even wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

However, because there was still something important to do, he quickly calmed himself down and started talking about business after comforting Hashimoto: "It's okay, Class President Hashimoto, the main reason I called you this time is that I have a few things I want to ask you, about some things from high school."

Hashimoto asked back with some doubt: "Things from high school?"

"Yes."

Asano Makoto nodded, helping Konno Yuka next to him ask the questions she wanted to ask: "At that time, there was a classmate in our class named Shida Yoichi. Do you remember what he did in high school, Class President Hashimoto?"

Chapter 144 Scumbag Shida (1/5)

"Shida Yoichi? That scumbag Shida from the soccer club? Of course, I remember. What's wrong with him? Did something happen?"

When answering this question, Hashimoto's voice became much darker.

Even Konno Yuka, who didn't know her, could hear the undisguised disgust in this sentence, as if she wasn't talking about her high school classmate, but some kind of dirty thing.

Plus the phrase "scumbag Shida" in her words, Konno Yuka immediately realized that Asano Makoto hadn't lied to her before, and the things he said were true.

In this instant, even though she was wearing a mask that covered most of her face, Asano Makoto immediately noticed the change in her emotions.

Because at this moment, she was looking down, not knowing what she was thinking in her mind, and even the atmosphere around her had become very depressed.

However, because Hashimoto on the other end of the phone was still waiting, Asano Makoto didn't open his mouth to comfort her for the time being, but chose to continue talking to Hashimoto.

"Nothing happened to him. I just wanted to ask about the things he did in high school."

Asano Makoto didn't explain the reason.

But for Hashimoto, there was no need for any reason at all.

As long as it was something Asano Makoto wanted to know, she would tell him.

"Asano-kun, why are you suddenly interested in that person? You must never become like him!"

So, after subconsciously asking and warning Asano Makoto in this way, she began to tell him what she knew about Shida Yoichi: "Let me think about where to start, after all, he did too many outrageous things."

"Well, let's start with when he cheated on our class's Tsuchiya-san in the first year of high school. At that time, this scumbag…"

"And in the second year of high school, ah! You might know this, he…"

"Next is the third year of high school. At that time, you had already left school and didn't know how excessive he was! He even did something to the cleaning lady in the guard room…"

"That's about it, but I can be sure that the things that scumbag did were definitely more than these! It's just that I don't know."

This period of time, lasting half an hour, was all Hashimoto's accusations against Shida Yoichi.

Unlike Asano Makoto, who was forced to accept those rumors, Hashimoto, as the class president and having attended school for a year longer than him, knew much more.

If he counted the things he knew as 1, then the things Hashimoto knew were 5, and this was after removing his part.

In addition, girls themselves love to gossip about these things, so he only talked about a few minutes of things at the time, and Hashimoto spoke for half an hour this time.

And at least he would say a few good words for Shida Yoichi for the sake of objectivity and truthfulness, but Hashimoto, who obviously hated Shida Yoichi, wouldn't do that.

All she said were Shida Yoichi's black materials, and the total number was estimated to be more than twenty.

While Hashimoto on the other end of the phone kept accusing Shida Yoichi of his scumbag behavior, the atmosphere around Konno Yuka on this end of the phone became heavier and heavier.

Konno Yuka only felt a pain in her heart now, a pain as if she was being cut by a knife.

After all, he was a boyfriend she had loved for four years, so how could she not feel pain?

In fact, she had known it for a long time. When Asano Makoto said those things, she knew that these things were true.

It's just that at that time, because there was only Asano Makoto alone, it was one-sided, so she could still deceive herself and say: That's not true, it's all a misunderstanding, Yoichi can't be that kind of person.

But now, her inner world, which had been subconsciously closed off by her instinct for self-protection, was brutally torn open by Asano Makoto's phone call.

So the sun shone in, completely illuminating the cruel reality that had long been placed in front of her, making it impossible for her to avoid her gaze.

On the other side, after noticing that Konno Yuka was not right, Asano Makoto immediately became a little worried.

But at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a trace of secret joy in his heart.

Although it might sound like a bastard to say this, as long as Konno Yuka's emotions were low enough, then he would have an opportunity, and this mission would be settled.

Just then, Hashimoto on the other end of the phone returned to that somewhat shy little girl-like state.

After talking about Shida Yoichi's affairs, she mustered up the courage to ask: "Asano-kun, let's not talk about that scumbag, let's talk about your affairs. Where do you live now? Are you still in Tokyo? Do you have time recently? Do you want to go out for a meal together?"

Hearing this series of questions, Asano Makoto was slightly stunned.

But after glancing at Konno Yuka next to him, he immediately refused: "Ah, a meal? Well, what, I've been a little busy recently, I'm sorry, but I'll definitely look for you next time I have time!"

"Is that so… then—"

After the invitation was rejected, Hashimoto's tone suddenly became a little lost, but she seemed to want to say something.

However, before she could speak, she was directly interrupted by Asano Makoto, who noticed this: "Well, what! Class President Hashimoto, I'm really sorry, I suddenly have something urgent to do here, so I'll hang up first. Let's talk next time I have time."

"Ah! Asano-kun, wait—!"

Saying this, without waiting for Hashimoto to finish speaking, Asano Makoto directly hung up the phone.

Scumbag Makoto is like this. Class President Hashimoto only needs to be used up and discarded, but Scumbag Makoto has a lot of things to consider.

But this is indeed unavoidable, after all, what's more important now is Konno Yuka's side.

As for Class President Hashimoto, although he feels very sorry for her for this behavior of using her up and discarding her, Asano Makoto can only say "I'm sorry, you're not the target of my pursuit" now.

If there's time, I'll still treat her to a meal…

Thinking this way, Asano Makoto turned his head to look at Konno Yuka, who was still looking down next to him, her emotions obviously very low.

After hesitating for a moment, he asked: "Konno-san, do you… want to continue listening?"

Although he can directly comfort her now, that's meaningless, at least he won't get any benefits.

And his current identity is Konno Yuka's helper, so he naturally has to do his job well.

Of course, he was just asking casually, and he didn't expect to continue calling other classmates, after all, Konno Yuka probably didn't want to hear those sad things again.

But what he didn't expect was that after hearing his question, Konno Yuka's slightly trembling body suddenly froze.

After about two seconds, she suddenly raised her head to look at Asano Makoto, and said in a voice that had become even more hoarse, but also somewhat weak: "Asano-kun, please continue to call the next person. I want to continue listening."

Looking at the firm gaze looking at him, Asano Makoto was stunned, and his heart seemed to be struck, and he couldn't help but tremble.

Konno Yuka's heart, which was already completely cold, is now completely frozen.
