The tone of the orange-headed boy was much calmer than before.

Bai Lu's eyelids twitched subconsciously, and he didn't know how to respond to his inquiry for a short time...

I didn't expect the other party to misunderstand to this level.

To be honest, Bai Lu will never touch the topic of dating and having a boyfriend. When she first attacked Black Tail Tetsuro, she had already decided that it was impossible for her to date any other characters.

Although have made up mind to go into business, capturing the 3 characters is the second goal of the bottom line.

It is impossible for Bai Lu to date only one of them, and dump him because of 100% favorability, looking for the next one...

Of course, it is impossible for her to run clubs while interacting with people, completely abandoning so many characters with 99% favorability, and cheating and hooking up with other boys while dating, which is an even more unlikely bottom-line problem.

Establishing a relationship means being responsible.

Although...it has nothing to do with the bottom line or not, she is already despicable to be arrested by both sides at the same time, and she is not qualified to talk about it.

"Xiangyang, why do you think so?"

Silently putting the outer shoes back on the shoe rack, Bai Lu walked across to Hinata Xiangyang with an unchanged expression, since he would think so, maybe he could use the opportunity to deal with the ups and downs of the other party's favorability.

"You feel……"

She tilted her head, seemingly unintentionally approaching Hinata Xiangyang: "Which one is my boyfriend?"

"Eh?"

"me……"

Hinata Xiangyang swallowed his saliva, he was a little stunned by the question, or...scared by the girl's graceful body gradually getting closer to him, red hot waves began to appear on his cheeks.

"I don't know." The boy looked away awkwardly, his head like a glowing red iron.

It was obvious that they were still very aggressive just now.

"Black, black-tailed mulberry?"

He pursed his lips, and whispered with a low expression, "Because he hugged you earlier."

"Wrong answer." Bai Lu looked at him helplessly: "There is no reward."

"Eh?!"

Hinata Xiangyang's eyes widened a little, and his tone suddenly became uneasy: "Then... is it grinding?"

"Wrong answer too, no reward."

"??"

After being stunned for a second, the orange-haired boy's expression became even more puzzled, and his head tilted up as well, but Bai Lu flicked his head with his slender fingers.

"Hmm." Hinata Xiangyang hurriedly covered his forehead.

"The answer is - neither, I'm single."

After explaining the words clearly, the girl withdrew her body lightly, and lowered her raised arms: "Xiangyang knows that I'm not in good health, right?"

"I went to the hospital directly after fainting at the time, and I haven't contacted those two people since then. It's obviously a 'childhood sweetheart' relationship."

"It's like I haven't responded to Xiangyang's message for two years. I'm afraid they have been worried for a long time. Senior Heiwei's hug is probably the kind of hug when we meet again after a long absence."

Bai Lu once again took out the settings that Yu An had given her, explaining the relationship between her and Yin Ju in a half-truthful way.

"Is that so?"

Hinata Xiangyang didn't let go of the palm covering his forehead, although the girl's strength just now didn't hurt at all, but his heart was sore.

Because always feel that it is not just this kind of emotion.

"Reunion……"

The boy murmured these words softly, as if he was simply repeating, but his straightforward orange-brown eyes were raised straight up, and there seemed to be a bold flame burning in the brown pupils.

"Then, can I hug Bai Lu-sang too?"

"What?"

Bai Lu's expression was stunned.

"Because it took me a long time to reunite with Bailu-sang, and I want to express the feeling of reunion after a long absence."

"..."

This, this guy.

The girl looked at him speechlessly.

Even though Hinata Xiangyang said so, the look on his face was very serious and very frank, of course... The roots of the ears and the back of the neck of the boy hidden in the soft hair were all hot pink.

"...Okay, just give me a hug."

Bai Lu lost to his eyes, and also lost to his own slap in the face.

The orange-headed boy looked like a dog that had been approved, and his tense breath immediately relaxed a lot. He closed his eyes tightly, opened his arms cautiously, leaned over and hugged the girl's body cautiously.

Because he is a few centimeters shorter than Bai Lu, Hinata Xiangyang's embrace is completely different from that of Heiwei and Grinding. With flushed cheeks, he leans his fluffy head against the hollow of her neck, and his shoulders stiffly hug the girl's backwaist.

Except for the different arms, it is very similar to Bai Lu's posture when he was buried in Qingshui Jiezi's arms.

Just at the moment when the bodies were touching, she could feel the hot skin of Hinata Xiangyang, the stiff but strong arm, and the uncontrollable breathing sprayed near her collarbone was also very hot.

He won't be steamed soon...

[System: Raider character "Hinata Xiangyang" favorability +0.001%.】

"Egret-san, it's so warm."

"It would be nice if this moment was forever."

"Eh?"

"No, nothing!" Hinata Xiangyang let go of the girl in a panic, waved his hands and shyly denied the murmur just now, he stepped back with a blushing face, and carefully ended the hug: "Thank you Bailu-san!"

"……It doesn't matter."

Bai Lu didn't know what to say and looked at him, but finally changed the subject: "Okay, don't stand here, go back first."

"Uh-huh."

"Speaking of which, can I change my name?"

Hinata Xiangyang seemed to think of something, and asked as he walked: "Bai Lusang Mingming has been calling me by my name, can I call yours too?"

"whatever."

Bai Lu really never cared about these particularities. As a person who has grown up in China for more than 10 years, she does not treat Japanese as cordially as her mother tongue.

"Great." The orange-headed boy's eyes sparkled, "Please teach me more in the future, Lulu!"

……Um?

"Because...because yin koma's black-tailed mulberry and grinding both call you that."

Hinata Xiangyang scratched his hair, and faced the girl's suspicious gaze, he said shyly, "Is it okay for me to call you that?"

"OK."

Bai Lu nodded helplessly.

She and Hinata Xiangyang returned to the second floor of the apartment, because they were going to clean up the cold food, the girl separated from each other neatly.

Although... when she returned to the restaurant, Shimizu Jiezi scolded her seriously.

"Next time, don't run down without finishing your meal, and the cold meal is not good for your stomach."

The senior sister who said so on the lips, but acted honestly helped the girl heat up the meal, and even warmed her up with a bowl of hot soup.

Bai Lu: Favorability +1.

"System: Huh? Is the player finally willing to open the lily line? I'm so relieved!"

No.

"System: Cut."

The Golden Week holiday was also the last day of the volleyball team's sleepover, and everyone spent it happily in the apartment.

After the precious practice match with yin koma and five full days of intense training, the volleyball team has obviously improved a lot compared to before. According to the judgment of the system, they directly rose to a level.

On the first day back to school, the class continued in an orderly manner. Several seniors of Sawamura Daichi also started to prepare for the registration of Inter High. Everyone's mood was a combination of nervousness and joy.

The summer national competition is about to return to that stage.

Bai Lu wrote down the date of IH in his notebook early on. Looking forward to it, the studies still have to continue.

"Well, then let's find a classmate to read this sentence."

The English teacher standing on the podium pushed his glasses, looked around the classroom, and finally stared at Bai Lu with incomparable precision...

Beside him was a drowsy young man with dark green hair.

"Yamaguchi-san, please read aloud."

"Eh?! Good, good!"

Yamaguchi Tadashi's drowsiness was awakened immediately, and he picked up the book in a flustered tone: "That..."

"System: In a very boring English class, my deskmate was suddenly called by the teacher to answer a question. Seeing his flustered movements, do you decide?"

A. Whisper reminder

B. Tell him the wrong answer

C. ignore

...

Of course it is a kind reminder.

The recent training of the volleyball team is very strict. It is normal for Yamaguchi to be so tired that he would feel drowsy in class. Prepare a cup of protein powder for him in advance in the afternoon.

Raising his hand to click option A, Bai Lu also erected the English book, leaned on the table and whispered: "Page 45, line 2."

[System: Raider character "Yamaguchi Tadashi" favorability +1.】

"Ah!" Yamaguchi Tadashi obviously heard the girl's reminder, and quickly found the sentence the teacher asked him to read: "This fried a...e..."

"asparagus."

Bai Lu continued to remind.

[System: Raider character "Yamaguchi Tadashi" favorability +0.5.】

“This fried asparagus is not very delicious.”

Yamaguchi Tadashi finally read the complete sentence, he breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down on the chair in response to the teacher's satisfaction, the doze just now was completely frightened away.

The bell for the end of get out of class rang immediately, and the originally quiet classroom suddenly became noisy.

"call……"

The English class happened to be the last period, and it was time to take a lunch break. Yamaguchi Tadashi looked gratefully at the girl sitting next to him: "Well, thank you."

"My English is actually not very good. Thanks to Lu Lu, I was finally saved."

"It doesn't matter." Bai Lu smiled at him, and said indifferently: "Loyalty training has been very hard, it's really hard."

"It's, it's okay."

Yamaguchi Tadashi lowered his head with reddish ears, took out a bento from his schoolbag, struggled for a while, and then mustered up the courage to raise his head: "Helu...will you have dinner with us today?"

"System: After a Golden Week holiday, I will return to the same table with Yamaguchi Tadashi again, and face his lunch invitation, do you decide?"

A. agree

B. to refuse

"..."

In fact, she didn't really want to agree.

However, this picture of Yamaguchi Tadashi, who rarely mustered up the courage to completely ignore the unhappiness that happened in the cafeteria last time, made Bai Lu feel very complicated.

"good."

She struggled for a few seconds, but still lost to Dahao's offensive, she nodded subtly.

The gray and still environment returned to its original state, and Bai Lu took a look at Hotaru Tsukishima, who was standing not far away with his pockets in his pocket, and walked over with no expression, and felt a little regretful in his heart: "But I didn't bring a bento."

"It's okay, A'Yue didn't bring bento today either!"

Yamaguchi Tadashi's dark green eyes lit up, and the freckles on his face seemed to become vivid: "I'll take the bento and go to the cafeteria with you."

"..."

Sure enough, this guy also knows the situation of Qingma Zhuma's bento like the back of his hand today.

"gone."

Hotaru Tsukishima, a big light bulb boy, didn't react much to the girl's rejoining. He didn't use his poisonous tongue and taunt skills like he did in the club. He just stared at her quietly for a few seconds, and turned around calmly: "GoThe second floor of the restaurant."

"OK."

Bai Lu silently followed behind them, not caring about Yue Dao's attitude.

Counting from the middle of the sleepover, the other party would withdraw their favor from time to time, and sometimes add it back. The fluctuations were the most extreme in the first two days.

Of course girls don't care.

After all, she has never taken the initiative to attack this guy, and her concern for him only comes from club activities, not to mention that the other party is not very active in club activities, just participating in it... Bai Lu should have nothing to owe him.

Although there is no debt.

Hotaru Tsukishima ordered the fries combo very unscrupulously.

That's right.

After the three came to the second floor of the cafeteria, Yamaguchi Tadashi was inconvenient to line up with the two of them with a lunch box. He had to find an empty seat in advance and wait for Tsukishima and Bai Lu to come back alone.

As for Hotaru Tsukishima and Bai Lu——

"Brother, what do you want to order?" The fat chef in the restaurant looked at him and the girl behind him kindly.

"A..."

The custard-haired boy looked at today's menu, and when he was on the verge of speaking, his eyes suddenly fell on the newly released set meal D, and he changed his words abruptly: "Let's D."

Omurice + miso soup + tempura platter + French fries.

……French fries.

Seeing these words, Bai Lu's mood suddenly became very delicate. She looked up at the tall boy in front of her, and asked with a smile, "Tsukishima-kun, do you like omelet rice?"

"Well."

Hotaru Tsukishima raised an eyebrow, glasses shaded pear-colored eyes: "It's okay, so-so."

Bai Lu: "..."

[System: Raider character "Hotaru Tsukishima" favorability +1.】

This guy.

She twitched the corner of her mouth in her heart, stopped talking to the other party, turned her head and ordered the C set meal that she ate last time to the chef.

When the two found Yamaguchi Tadashi with the dinner plate, the green-haired boy saw the things in their hands, and his expression became very subtle: "That, A'Yue..."

"Don't you like to eat set A the most? Why did you switch to a combination you haven't seen before?"

"Occasionally, I want to change the taste."

Hotaru Tsukishima sat across from him with a natural expression.

"……oh."

Tsk.

Bai Lu sat next to Yamaguchi Tadashi speechlessly, with a flawless smile on her face, which made the other students who were sitting around secretly looking at this side excited: "Tsukishima-san, the D meal is a lot, you reallyCan I finish it?

"I remember you ate very little when you slept together."

"If you can't finish it..." She stared at something on the boy's plate: "Give me some French fries."

Hotaru Tsukishima: "..."

Yamaguchi Tadashi: "!!"

"That, A'Yue!"

When the girl said the word French fries, Yamaguchi clenched his chopsticks tightly, closed his eyes as if some kind of radar had been activated, and raised his voice a little: "Please give me some too!"

"ha……"

Hotaru Tsukishima looked at him inexplicably: "If you want to eat..."

He divided the fries, and the end result of the incident was that Tsukishima's fries were divided into three portions, and everyone got a portion on their plate.

"Thank you A'Yue." After Yamaguchi Tadashi opened the bento cloth thoroughly, he did not move his chopsticks to eat the rice balls in the bento box, but was the first to pick up the crispy French fries.

He stared at the thing in his hand, swallowed nervously, and stuffed it into his mouth in one breath.

"I'm gonna start now."

Huh?!!

He is...

Bai Lu also thanked her with some surprise. She widened her eyes and confirmed that the fresh french fries that the other party received were indeed missing one piece. Then she asked incredulously: "Loyalty."

"You... why are you eating it now?"

Doesn't he like to eat soft ones!

To be honest, the girl asked Hotaru Tsukishima for French fries just now, naturally to avoid the situation where the mountain pass was stuffed with French fries.

In case the bad guy Yuedao ate half of it and said that he would share it with Yamaguchi if he couldn't eat it, Bai Lu couldn't imagine the scene, it was too embarrassing.

But she never expected...

Yamaguchi Tadashi even offered to ask for fries, and didn't wait for them to soften before eating them.

Hotaru Tsukishima, who was sitting opposite, was also stunned, showing a rare look of surprise: "Yamaguchi, what's wrong with you?"

"Actually, I occasionally want to try hard and crispy French fries."

Faced with the astonishment of the two, the dark green-haired boy raised his arm and shrugged his cheeks with his index finger embarrassedly. He looked at Bai Lu beside him with reddish cheeks: "This won't make Lu Lu feel distressed, right?".”

"..."

The air fell into a slight silence.

Bai Lu took a deep breath inwardly, this boy...

[System: Raider character "Hotaru Tsukishima" favorability -1.】

Tsk.

Regardless of Guan Yuedao's favorability, Bai Lu stood up directly, took the french fries that Yamaguchi Tadashi had distributed, and said helplessly, "No."

"I hope Zhongjun will keep his own preferences, and don't force his own taste for other people, so the French fries are temporarily confiscated—"

"Eh?!"

"I'll give it back to you when it softens."

"Eh……"

[System: Raider character "Hotaru Tsukishima" favorability +0.5.】

[System: Raider character "Yamaguchi Tadashi" favorability +0.5.】

Two favorability points were displayed at once, and the system's voice seemed very excited.

"System: Player, the favorability of Yamaguchi Tadashi is now 98.5%, and there is only 0.5 left to break through the 99% mark."

Know.

Bai Lu really wanted to sigh, but held back.

While Hotaru Tsukishima silently picked up the spoon and began to bury her head in eating omurice, she silently took out her mobile phone, found Yamaguchi Tadashi's Line and sent him a message——

"I want to love volleyball: although I don't want you to force it."

"Want to love volleyball: but loyal to the king, very cute."

"Want to love volleyball: thank you ^ ^"

The message was sent, and the phone in Yamaguchi Tadashi's pocket immediately vibrated a few times.

She put away her phone pretending nothing happened, while the green-haired boy sitting next to her put down her chopsticks suspiciously, as if she didn't know who sent her a message suddenly.

The other party took out his mobile phone from his pocket, turned on the screen and checked the information.

[System: Raider character "Yamaguchi Tadashi" favorability +0.5.】

Even if he didn't look at him, Bai Lu could still see what the other party typed with red cheeks from the corner of his eye, as if he was carefully sneaking a glance at the girl.

well.

Really are……

About to be tortured insane.

Bai Lu didn't look at her phone, but just ate the food on the plate very quietly. What could she do, she could only pray that IH would arrive soon.

For club activities in the evening, Bai Lu went with the childhood sweethearts Yamaguchi and Tsukishima.

After all, they ate lunch together, and they were in the same club. When the three of them arrived at the second gymnasium on time, the system immediately reminded that the daily class ① was completed, and a reward of 3,000 yen was credited to the account.

Bai Lu called up the system panel and checked the current community progress page. Everyone's level is uneven, but the overall comprehensive level has reached 4.

The level reference provided by the system to enter the national competition is Level 4. Although she played very few practice matches, and she only knew about Yin Koma's time, Wu Ye's volleyball team is now fully capable of ranking first in Miyagi Prefecture.

The biggest problem for everyone now is that the running-in period is too short.

The return of Dong Fengxu and Yu Nishiya is too late, and the team hasn't run in well. If the coordination is more perfect, the Level should be raised to 5.

Then there are personal issues... Bai Lu still feels that Kageyama and Hinata's weird special attack is hard to explain, especially after watching the sound horse practice match passed to her by Kiyoko Shimizu.

Xiangyang's pace can already be caught up by Yin koma's No. 7 in the late stage.

However, after going through two full practice matches, the No. 7 didn't fully adapt to Xiangyang, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

The girl silently turned off the simulation management system. The "holographic" game is very inconvenient. Everyone's reaction is too real, almost indistinguishable from a real person... so that she can't "play" as easily as a plane game, casuallyInterfere with each player's mood and playing habits.

Otherwise it can be more perfect.

"Zhongjun, do you want to go home together?"

After the club ended, Bai Lu took the initiative to find Tadashi Yamaguchi.

She and Hotaru Tsukishima are neighbors, and her childhood sweetheart, the Yamaguchi family, is of course also nearby. The other party invited her back home with her last time. Now there are no conflicts and estrangements, and there is no need to continue to hide.

"Feel sorry……"

However, unexpectedly, Yamaguchi Tadashi opened his mouth apologetically and declined the girl's invitation.

"I made an appointment with Mr. Shimada to practice together, and I won't go home directly for a while."

"Eh?"

Bai Lu was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect the other party to say that. She didn't show any annoyance at being rejected, but looked at him happily: "Really? Then you go!"

Sure enough, Yamaguchi is also practicing on his own?

IH is looming, she is of course happy from the bottom of her heart.

Because of the girl's serious and heartfelt eyes, the anticipation in those light pear-colored eyes seemed to be full of starlight, Yamaguchi Tadashi couldn't help but blushed again: "Yeah."

[System: Raider character "Yamaguchi Tadashi" favorability +0.02%.】

...not 0.001, which is fine.

"Then A'Yue will take care of Lulu, I'll go first."

The boy waved his hand at Bai Lu embarrassedly, and turned into the fork not far away without looking back.

It is now 19 o'clock at night, the sky has darkened, and the hazy moonlight covered by clouds and mist hangs above the head. The members of the volleyball team are almost scattered. Everyone is gearing up for the upcoming game, and their hearts are full of anticipation.

Bai Lu turned back and looked at Hotaru Tsukishima, who was "pleased" by Yamaguchi Tadashi, who was waiting not far away...

Having said that, she might be the one to be entrusted.

The girl hesitated for a few seconds, but she walked over. It was not too late at 19:00, and Bai Lu didn't want to go back alone, and then encountered various emergencies because of the option of "alone" like in the co-sleeping period..

"Tsukishima-kun, are you waiting for me?"

She stood still in front of the tall, milk-yellow-haired boy.

"...you'll know it when you see it."

Hotaru Tsukishima didn't have any expression on his face. He loosely shook the schoolbag on his back from his shoulders, put his hands in his trouser pockets casually, and took off the red and white earphones from his ears.

"Thanks."

Bai Lu sincerely thanked him.

Although often feel that this guy is in the way, can't deny that the other party is not a bad person at this time, and there is a little bit of duplicity in heart.

[System: Raider character "Hotaru Tsukishima" favorability +1.】

The process of the two going back was very quiet.

There was only the sound of light footsteps lingering between them in the air. Since they didn't plan to attack Hotaru Tsukishima, not to mention that Yamaguchi Tadashi's attack progress had reached a fever pitch, Bai Lu didn't make any presumptuous moves during the whole process.

Until the two of them reached the fence on the side of Tsukishima's house, their atmosphere was very calm.

Yes, only up to here.

According to the normal route, Bai Lu only needs to turn around the corner of the wall ahead with him, and the two of them will pass the gate of Yuedao's house, and then walk straight forward for a few meters to reach the gate of their own house.

Unfortunately, things backfired——

Hotaru Tsukishima stopped suddenly near the corner.

He put his hands in his pockets like this, turned around indifferently while maintaining a cold expression, raised his slender and straight right leg, and blocked the girl against the wall through the cold air.

...

!!?

Bai Lu was in a daze until he was pressed against the wall.

"Yue, Tsukishima, what are you doing?"

The boy's height was too tall, and he could easily cast a large shadow on her face through the platinum moonlight. He was supposed to be a quiet and quiet boy, but his aura at this time revealed a vague sense of crisis.

He didn't say anything weirdly like usual, or let go of the girl because she was surprised.

"I said."

Hotaru Tsukishima's voice has always been very magnetic, and his voice was faint, and at this moment very indifferent, he suddenly said something shocking: "Can you stop playing Yamaguchi?"

...

The air suddenly became stagnant.

"Although……"

The boy lowered his body, and his warm breath sprayed directly into the girl's hair. Combined with the oppressive sight of the girl looking straight down, Bai Lu subconsciously frowned: "That guy from Yamaguchi is usually very noisy and talkative."

"But for the time being, he is also my friend."
