Miss Naoko is always at the Shura Field

You look at Nioh Masaharu in embarrassment.

It's okay to be forced to hear the confession, but to be discovered by the person involved... How depressing is it to think about this kind of thing.

"that……"

"Tsukimi-kun should have arrived first, so it doesn't matter."

"Ah, okay, I won't say it." You said immediately, "Then I'll go first."

Nioh Masaharu looked at your leaving back with his head sideways, not knowing what he was thinking.

When you return to the classroom, you see that the students have returned to the classroom one after another.

"Tsukimi-sato." Taketo Akimoto greeted you at the front desk.

Akimoto Taketo is a handsome boy, but he is easily shy, and his face will turn red every time he talks to you.

"Akimoto-kun."

"Well... the Haiyuan Festival is coming. Due to time constraints, we have scheduled many activities before this semester. The class will be dressed up as a maid cafe, so... Also, our Kendo club will also have activities. When the time comes, you You can also take a look."

Every time I talk to you, Taketo Akimoto has to muster up a lot of courage, and it's the same this time, his face turns red when he speaks, and he doesn't know where to look.

"Thank you." You said.

Taketo Akimoto was a little disappointed by your cold reaction, and he slowly turned his head away.

A few girls on the front right look at you and whisper.

After class, you go to the bathroom and come back to hear the discussion about you.

"That moon meeting was so indifferent."

"Yeah, she didn't pay much attention to her when I greeted her yesterday."

"Even Akimoto-kun talked to her, she looked unhappy. Please, Akimoto-kun told her about the Haiyuan Festival, so that she, a transfer student, doesn't know anything."

well.You sigh.

Being too unconventional will be noticed.

You don't want to be too alienated, which will show your difference.

So... more smiles?

Maybe that will help you blend in a little bit.

You try to cope with it with a smile.

However, although you think so in your heart, you always remember to smile after the conversation is over, and you will feel helpless and guilty when you see the other person's embarrassed expression.

Still have to remember to smile.You think so.

During the lunch break a few days later, you walked up to the roof courtyard above the teaching building. Although there will be students here, you still chose to rest here because the grove is more "dangerous".

Just keep a little distance from other people.

"Yuejianli-kun." Your name was suddenly called.

You turned your head and found that it was Yukimura Seichi.

The other party looked at you with a gentle smile.

So... you have to smile too, right?

This is basic etiquette, right?

"Yukimura-kun." You said, a faint smile bloomed on your lips, forming beautiful ripples.

This shouldn't seem too indifferent, right?

"Are you resting here too?" Yukimura said.

"Ah, yes." You looked at Yukimura's spirit, your smile froze a bit, and your eyes gradually became suspicious.

"Then I won't disturb you." Yukimura said and left.

You looked at his back and frowned.

This was just a very ordinary greeting, but it set off a bloodbath on the campus.

As a transfer student, with your superior appearance, you immediately injected new topics into Lihai University and Middle School, but because you were difficult to get close to, and you got too close to the campus male god, you also caused a lot of gossip.

In physical education class, you are surrounded by three or four girls.

"Tsukimi-san, you and Nioh-kun are very close, but we also saw you talking and laughing with Yukimura-kun, and even Akimoto-kun was played around by you."

"What do you mean?"

"Is Tsukimi Ri-kun pretending to be stupid? Are you being too shameless like this?"

You frowned, listening to them scrambling to piece together a hateful image of you provoking boys.

Campus violence in student days is not uncommon. Due to the cultural characteristics of Japan, the projection of the culture of the younger generation in the society and the oppressive feeling of women on the campus will form a weird and distorted environment.

Beauty represents the weakness of women. People with Yamato Nadeshiko's temperament will unconsciously participate in competing for the resources of other women—men. In a society that is taught that only men can have their own value, men have become a kind of A symbol of power, pursued by women.

And women with superior looks who should be companions become enemies.

And on campus, isn't there a projection of power in violence caused by jealousy?

"You misunderstood me. I have nothing to do with Nioh-kun, and I have never spoken to Yukimura-kun. I also respect Akimoto-kun."

"Since it doesn't matter, we should keep a good distance. Also, we saw you talking and laughing with Yukimura-kun with our own eyes."

You're a little annoyed at the pointless accusations of the girls, but you can't overdo it on campus.

"Why, can't speak? So you are a liar."

Malice is coming at you.

It's too much, these people don't have the courage to directly say what they want, so they want to target you?

Originally, you were in pain because of the loss of moving, and your mood was not stable. Now you are facing accusations, and you think of Tezuka's words again.

Is this the price of growth?

To go through these...

"Why, are you going to cry? No one will help you now."

"Hello—" Masaharu Nioh's voice suddenly sounded, "What are you doing?"

When did he come here?

Nioh Masaharu came to your side and looked at the girl opposite. The expression of the usually cynical boy was now very serious, even a little scary.

"That... Nioh-sama, we didn't do anything..." The girls still wanted to argue.

"I heard it all." King Ni interrupted impatiently.

The girls started to panic.One of the girls seemed to be about to cry.

"I'm neighbors with Tsukimi-kun, my parents and Tsukimi-kun's parents are also good friends, and I pretended to be Yukimura at the roof garden last time, I was playing with Tsukimi-kun, understand Yet?"

"understood."

The girls nodded vigorously, and then dispersed like birds and birds.

"One of the girls just now is in our class." After they left, Nioh said to you, "Sorry, pretending to be Yukimura last time caused you so much trouble."

The boy's tone and expression were very serious.

"It's okay." You smiled gently, hoping to relieve his self-blame with a smile, "Actually, I know that the one on the roof garden is not the real Yukimura-kun."

"How did you find out?" Niwang asked. "I thought you might have found out, so I ran away quickly."

"I don't know, just feel it." You said.

After a while, you lowered your head and said, "Well... I think, I'll go to school by myself in the future, Nioh-kun doesn't have to wait for me."

Because you are greedy for the tenderness of others.

Nioh's kindness should have been rejected from the very beginning.

Riding a boy's bicycle is too ambiguous. It's because you didn't grasp it well that it caused a misunderstanding.

"Then I won't ride a bike anymore," Nioh said, winking at you, "Anyway, it's not far from home to school, and going to school alone is boring, puff."

Then you can't say no.

So you continue to go to school with Masaharu Nioh.

However, perhaps Nioh's explanation played a role, and the campus calmed down.

Taketo Akimoto also found you and apologized to you for the gossip in school.The boy took all these things on himself.

Later, you heard that the girl who confessed to Masaharu Nioh also clarified that Masaharu Nioh did not like a girl.

But this incident seems to have attracted Yukimura Seiichi's attention to you.

You feel his attention, and sometimes he will give you a gentle smile when you meet his eyes.

However, due to the calm attitude of the other party, it seems that no gossip has been caused.

The Haiyuan Festival in September is coming soon. Although you have just transferred to this class, as a member of the class, you still have to participate.

In short, you seem to be slowly integrating into the campus.

You, who are outstanding in appearance, were coaxed into wearing a maid outfit. Class leader Anri Suzuki, a member of the animation club, saw you wearing cat ears and screamed excitedly: "With Tsukimiri cat ears, our class activities It must be the most lively!"

Then you are sent to the door to recruit students.

Accompanying you is Taketo Akimoto, who also looks a little funny in a maid outfit.

This is also Suzuki Anri's arrangement. The other party said, "It's also very interesting to cross-dress. If it wasn't because Yukimura was too scary, I wouldn't have arranged for you" and pushed Akimoto Kento into dire straits.

But being with you is also a kind of luck, right?

"That... Tsukimi Ri-kun, you are very cute today." Taketo Akimoto, who was facing you, glanced at you, and his eyes drifted to the other side, not daring to look at you anymore.

"Ah, thank you." Your face was also very red.

"Tsukimi-kun, you're so cute."

A gentle voice sounded, you looked up and saw Yukimura Seiichi standing in front of you smiling.

"Eh?"

Yukimura Seiichi is dressed in the aristocratic costumes of the Heian period. He is tall and tall, looking handsome and elegant.

"Pfft," Masaharu Nioh leaned his head over from behind Yukimura. He was also wearing a kimono with a forehead ornament on his forehead, showing the feeling of a suave nobleman, "Today is really cute."

After reacting, you and Akimoto Taketo said together: "Welcome back, master——"

"Let's come here to promote it. If you have time, you can go to the tennis club to have a look." Yukimura Seichi said.

The appearance of two handsome boys made the atmosphere in the classroom even more lively, coupled with your popularity, Suzuki Anri thought to herself that maybe your class could really win the most popular award.

You stood outside the door for a while, Suzuki Anri saw that your star effect had already been released, so he let you and Akimoto Kento come in to entertain your classmates.

"Tsukimi Ri-kun, come over here." Nioh Masaharu waved to you.

You walk over.

Masaharu Nioh and Seiki Yukimura are sitting face to face. You stand in front of their table holding the menu, and ask with a blushing face, "Well... what do the guests want to eat?"

"Hey, didn't you call the master just now?" King Ni joked.

Your face turned redder, and Qunzixia's legs unconsciously moved together.It's really shameful to entertain classmates in a maid outfit...

"Nio," Yukimura said suddenly, and then said to you, "We just came to sit for a while, and we'll leave right away."

"Oh, that's fine."

"How about it, isn't Rikkaida's Unabara Festival interesting?" Nioh asked you with a smile.

"It's interesting." You say.

"We're going to the tennis club. Tsukimi-sato-kun will come and have a look." Yukimura Seichi said, greeted Suzuki Anri and left.

Tsukimi wearing cat ears is really cute, if only I could touch it.Masaharu Nioh thought so, and followed Yukimura out of the classroom.

The author has something to say:

In response to readers’ questions, I mentioned in chapter 16 that each line will be written at the same point in time [Naoko discovers that the chat partner is a real person] will stop, and then converge into a line.

But this statement is a bit vague, so let me explain it again. In fact, each line is not completely parallel. It should be said that it is a different angle of the same story. All plots take place in the same space, but the time will change due to different narrative angles.

Overall timeline: Naoko comes to Europe - spends three years in Tokyo with Tezuka ([-]th grade in elementary school - [-]nd year in junior high school) - moves to Kanagawa ([-]nd year in junior high school - [-]st year in high school)

In the end, all narratives will return to the current point in time [first year in high school].

So in fact [there is only one line], but it is not ruled out to write a branch line in the future.

This part of Nioh will not involve [the timeline of game BU□□ interleaving, I will explain it later.
