On the other side, after Kaede and Uchimaki Subaru ca out, they went directly to the commissary, bought their respective drinks, and so snacks. Uchimaki Subaru picked out a bottle of cola, the sa as the president's.
After buying the items, Kaede naturally didn't go straight back. Instead, he patted Uchimaki Subaru's shoulder and led him to the end of the corridor.
It was after-school club activity ti now, so hardly anyone would pass by here, making it a good place to chat.
After stopping, Uchimaki Subaru looked at Kaede in confusion: "Asakura, you didn't drag out here just to ask sothing, did you?"
"That's right, there is sothing."
Opening his drink and taking a sip himself, Kaede asked with a smile, "It's already been almost a month since we went to Hokkaido. How are things between you and Usami?"
..."Huh?"
Uchimaki Subaru froze for a mont, clearly not expecting Kaede to ask so directly. After a brief mont of panic, he said with a slightly wandering gaze, "I, uh, I don't quite understand what you an."
Kaede looked at this guy speechlessly and said, "Do you know how bad your acting is? From Usami's behavior since then, I can say that everyone around us can see it. If you tell you don't know, I absolutely won't believe you. It's just the two of us here, what's so hard to admit?"
"..."
Scratching his head, Uchimaki Subaru was clearly uncomfortable discussing such topics. After hesitating for a long ti, he finally said, "Well, of course I know. After all, when we were traveling in Hokkaido, Usami, she..."
Although he didn't finish his sentence, Kaede knew what the latter half of this guy's sentence was. It was probably about how obvious Usami's behavior was.
"Since you already know and can see that Usami has feelings for you, what are your thoughts? After all, everyone has known each other for almost a year."
"This... can I not say? I feel so awkward."
Uchimaki Subaru, this guy, was blushing, which was extrely rare.
Kaede, seeing this, seed to have discovered a new continent. He curiously stared at him, looking left and right for a while, before finally saying, "Alright, if you don't want to talk much, I won't force you. I just want to understand, after all, you never had these kinds of thoughts before. But I still have a suggestion here, do you want to hear it?"
"Hmm? What?"
"If you truly don't have feelings, then don't let the proactive party invest too much. That's disrespectful to them." After saying that, Kaede took the first step, "Let's go. If we don't go back soon, they'll probably start urging us."
Uchimaki Subaru also knew what Kaede ant by what he said. After nodding, he followed Kaede's footsteps.
Soon, the two returned to the Art Club and distributed the drinks and snacks.
Taking the orange juice Kaede handed her, Eriri opened it and took a sip, then began continuously sending eye signals to Kaede.
"Did you ask? Did you ask? Did you ask?"
In response, Kaede found ntal telepathy too tiring, so he simply picked up his phone and sent a ssage to Eriri.
"I asked. We'll talk about the details after club activities end."
This undoubtedly made Eriri's curiosity swell. She glared at Kaede in dissatisfaction, then started eating snacks.
In fact, she didn't speak to Kaede at all until club activities ended and they were outside the school gate.
After saying goodbye to Usami, the girl finally looked at Kaede, puffed out her cheeks, and poked Kaede's cheek with her finger: "Quick, tell , what's the situation?"
Taking Eriri's small hand and holding it, Kaede said with a smile, "After we bought the stuff, I directly asked him about his feelings for Usami, but that guy didn't say anything, surprisingly shy."
"Eh! Why didn't he say anything? You should have asked more... Hmm? He was shy?"
Eriri clearly understood now, and a smile appeared on her face: "If he didn't have feelings, even if he were asked about sothing like this, shyness wouldn't be very likely to appear. The most likely reaction would be annoyance or thinking about how to reject them. So, Kaede-kun, are you saying that Uchimaki's reaction indicates that he actually has feelings for Mizuki?"
"He definitely has feelings."
Kaede nodded affirmatively: "Let put it this way, boys are actually very honest when discussing topics about girls, especially when there are no girls around. Whether they express their liking might vary from person to person, but if they don't have feelings, ninety-nine percent of them will say it directly. Uchimaki clearly hasn't discussed these things with anyone, or he hasn't encountered a girl he had feelings for before, which is why I was able to tell."
"Yay! That's good news!"
Eriri jumped up excitedly, hugging Kaede's arm and saying, "So, does that an these two will start dating soon!"
"About that..." Kaede thought for a mont and shook his head, "It's probably still uncertain. It shouldn't be that fast. After all, you and I both know Uchimaki Subaru's personality from before. Just getting him to seriously consider what his feelings for Usami truly are might take a lot of ti. And also, I didn't ask him about his drawing earlier. If I had, my intention would have been too obvious. Knowing his general situation for now is enough."
"Mhm, I understand."
Eriri leaned on Kaede's shoulder, saying with a hint of regret, "Well, if what you say is accurate, Kaede-kun, then Mizuki will still have to work hard for a while."
"It's normal. These are also so rare experiences. As long as it's confird that Uchimaki has feelings for Usami, that's enough."
"Hehe, Kaede-kun, let tell you, when you went out earlier, I asked Mizuki, and she told that she and Uchimaki are going to the zoo this weekend, and it's pretty much confird to be Ueno Zoo. Kaede-kun, it's been a while since we went to the zoo!"
Kaede's steps instantly stopped. Looking at Eriri, who had a brilliant smile beside him, he said speechlessly, "Eriri, following people isn't a good thing, you know. Usami would definitely not agree."
"It's fine, as long as we don't get caught, right?"
..."I don't think we won't be caught."
Kaede knew that with Eriri in such high spirits about this, he couldn't stop her. He could only try to find a way to distract Eriri on the weekend and make her forget these current ideas.
But how to do it... Add so workload? That's a possibility, but Eriri would definitely get angry.
How about... making Eriri unable to get out of bed?
That could work!
(T/N: how can he prevent eriri getting out of the bed?, tie her? 🤔🤔)
