293-Passion of inferior person ⑥




'Hi, Yuto you were caught as you were and sitting there like that, for God's sake!

Mizuho-san's embarrassed face is strangely cute too....

'Yes, she's got the look of a complete maiden. They're buzzing around and it looks like an engagement announcement.

 The three beautiful girls, Mari, Marion and Nina, open their mouths while looking forward.
 Incidentally, they all have open pupils as well.
 Ichigo and Shizuka, who were receiving their pressure up close and personal from the left side of the room, were silently bringing the high-class food to their mouths.
 Then they heard the two beautiful girls talking from the right side.

''Even so, there's no doubt that the reason Shitenji is forcing the big festival is to welcome your brother as his son-in-law at all costs.

 Mu Mu, Qiu Hua raises her eyebrows.

''That means you're that great after all, Doudu-san. You fought against that many enemies, and you also fought your brother.

I'm sure of it. It means we have found someone even more amazing than we thought. But this means that before we can start our plan, brother Du Du will be surrounded by Shitenji. We have to think of something better.

 Akika and Kotone both crossed their arms and pondered.
 Ichigo stopped his chopsticks with a jerk of his temples.

''Hey, Mito-san,''

What? Hakamada-kun.

What the hell is going on here?

What?

'No, well, I don't mind the Yoshitaka Madonnas with their side pupils dilated. I'm used to it. More importantly, what are those girls over there? You've got a pretty high spec face.

I don't know. Aren't you the new Dou Dou Dou Hunter or something?

Du Du Hunter...?

Du Du, you were in action this time. And you were right in front of everyone. Some of you are so strong and cool! Isn't it no wonder that some people think it's a good idea? Like the pretty girl next door.

 Shizuka replies, moving her chopsticks around nonchalantly.
 Ichigo's eyes widen, wide and wide, while his body shakes in small increments.

''You're Yuto?''

Yeah, I know, Du Du, but you're not.

'You're just a plain, shadowy guy who gets a terrible reception from the women who come up to you?

Yeah.

Are you possibly more popular than me?

You're popular, no doubt about it.

Guffaw!

 Suddenly, Ichigo held his chest as if he was on his back and showed a pained expression.
 Then, he looked at Akihana and Kotone as if he were peering at them through Shizuka.

''Hmph, she's the kind of girl who would come up to you anyway. Being strict with a guy or asking for unreasonable requests... yeah? This is.....

 Ichigo's gaze stops on Kotone.

(The energetic looking kid in Chinese clothes in the front... yeah, I can see the troubled face of Yuto, as usual. But the kid in the back isn't like that. There's an air of docility and obedience about her, just from the look of it. (Maybe it's a type that's never been seen before)

What's going on? Hakamada-kun.

''No, I thought I had finally gotten a girl like this for Yuto...''

Thought you might be here?

I was really annoyed.

Honest.

 Shizuka said and put down her chopsticks.
 Then she turned her head towards Ichigo and smiled at him.

''But Hakamada-kun, I think you're really a friendlier person. I think you're a really nice person for that kind of thing, and honestly, I think you're pretty cool.''

...What?

 Shizuka's unexpected timing and unexpected words from Shizuka made Ichigo unusually confused.

The reason is that although he values Mari, Marion and Nina as friends, Hakamada-kun thinks of Do-Do-kun first. It's very typical of Hakamada-kun to put a man's best friend first, even though he says he loves women.

What's going on here?

Are you embarrassed?

'I'm not embarrassed. And I don't know what you're talking about...

But you know........the blind date was too much. Hakamada-kun.

...What?

 When Ichigo looks at Shizuka with a huff, the gentle smile from earlier disappears and there is Shizuka with a grin.
 Oily sweat oozes from Ichigo's entire body, and the blood drains away.

''Everything, I've had it confirmed. Hakamada-kun isn't the only one connected to the girls of Seisei Academy.......

Mimi-Mimi, Mr. Mito! Wait for me to stay...!

''Hakamada-kun. Just like Hakamada-kun thinks the best of Dou Dou Dou-kun I also think the best of Mari.

D-d-don't do anything about it, Mr. Mito!

 Ichigo asks while crunching his mouth.
 Then, Kukuku, said Shizuka as she laughed.

''Use this................to destroy Shitenji's plans. Good work, Hakamada-kun.''
