Chapter 20
Nozaki looked so calm that Saki didn't know what to say.
She was silent for two seconds and decided to skip the topic of "whether to praise or not".
She answered Nozaki's question: "Well, it rained yesterday, and on the way home, I saw a kitten on the side of the road that looked abandoned, so I rescued it. After all, it was so small, it would have died if I didn't take it back."
Nozaki's eyes flashed, and he asked a very core question: "With whom?"
Saki shuddered and looked away feeling inexplicably guilty.
Then she realized something was wrong.
That’s not right. No, why should she feel guilty?
There is clearly nothing between her and Goujuanji!
It’s all Nozaki’s fault. I was infected by his attitude and I feel like something is wrong with me.
After realizing this, Saki immediately became confident.
"With the classmate I planned to run with before, what's wrong? Is it not possible?"
Nozaki lowered his head and wrote quickly, without even looking at the road.
Saki was terrified, "Hey, pay attention to where you're walking."
If Nozaki, a tall man, were to trip and fall, it would be difficult for him to be rescued. He might even get dragged down with him.
Then, Saki thought of Inumaki Satoru.
As for Inugami Saki... he didn't seem much taller than her, but he was definitely taller, since he was a boy after all.
But he seemed a little thin? He looked very slender.
But he had dodged his attacks with great agility and was also very good at running. If he was really thin, he wouldn't be able to do that.
He has good physical skills and good physical strength.
Nozaki: "It's okay, I won't fall."
Saki came back to her senses.
Why did I suddenly associate Nozaki with Inumaki Satoru?
Nozaki: "So what happened next? What happened to the kitten?"
Saki: "Gojumaki-san took it home to raise."
Nozaki nodded secretly and said to himself, "I see, so you're planning to use pets to create an opportunity for us to meet again? And if there are pets, it will also be a good topic of conversation."
“…”
Saki: "As expected of you."

After school, Saki arrived at the school gate.
This time she first saw Inumaki Saki waiting on the side, so Saki ran over.
"Hey, Gojuan-san."
Goujuanji turned around and lowered his eyes slightly: "Kelp."
He was wearing a black school uniform with one hand casually in his pocket.
His hair is flying, and he looks pretty cool just from the outside.
Saki: "Kelp, Kelp, let's go? First go for a run and then go to the pet store to buy cat food?"
Inumaji nodded without objection, "Salmon."
After a short period of exercise, Saki's physical strength seemed to be better than before.
Although I still breathe heavily after running, it is not as severe as before, and my face is not very hot anymore.
Saki touched her cheek and said, "Do you think my face is not so red anymore?"
Inujuanji's eyes fell on her face, and then he looked away as if burned, pulling his scarf uncomfortably, "Salmon."
Saki cheered up, "You've made some progress after all."
Dog Roll: "Salmon, salmon."
Saki picked up her schoolbag and said, "Let's go. We can just walk over there slowly."
Gou Juanji tilted his head and hesitated: [Don't you need to sit down and rest? ]
Saki waved her arms, "It's okay, no need, I feel fine now!"
Goujuanji paused, then nodded.
He lowered his eyes, then reached out his hand to Saki and pointed at her schoolbag.
Saki understood what he meant. "Not bad? I don't feel tired."
Goujuan Ji glanced to the side, looking a little uncomfortable, but did not withdraw his hand.
Saki looked at him, and the strange feeling she had before resurfaced in her heart.
But she quickly suppressed this feeling.
Saki handed him her schoolbag. "Okay, I'll be happy to help you then. Thank you, Gomuki-san."
Gou Juanji curved his eyes.
The two walked towards the pet store.
Saki asked about Onigiri's situation, and Inumaki Tsuchiya typed the information to her. They didn't get bored along the way.
Then, Goujuanji stopped and turned to look behind him thoughtfully.
Saki: "What's wrong?"
Gojuanji looked again and again, then typed on his phone: [It seems... someone is following me? ]
Saki: “Eh, eh?!”
She was about to say how could it be possible, who would follow her...but she suddenly thought of someone.
Wait, no way?
Saki narrowed her eyes, turned around and looked behind where people might be hiding, and took out her Eagle Eye!
Ben Khan has the eyes of an eagle. (No)
Then, she locked onto a tall man.
OK.
Saki rushed over and grabbed the other person's tie on the front of his school uniform.
"I've caught you, right? There's nowhere to hide!"
Nozaki was pulled out by her.
“Cough cough cough…!”
Nozaki was pulled out, staggering, and struggled to rescue his tie from Saki's hands.
It's better to stop while you're ahead.
She clapped her hands and said, "Tell the truth quickly. Why are you following us?"
Inumaki Saki was originally startled by Saki's actions and was about to run over to help Saki, but he hesitated and stopped after realizing how familiar the two were with each other.
He paused, and finally stopped behind Saki. Without rushing over, he glanced at Nozaki Umetaro.
Nozaki: "You misunderstood, I'm not stalking."
What a familiar sentence.
I think Nozaki said the same thing when she caught him following Mikoshiba?
Saki narrowed her eyes: "Oh?"
Nozaki paused, then said, "I just happened to be passing by."
Saki didn't believe a single word he said.
She could probably guess why Nozaki did this, it was simply to collect materials.
Saki: “Really…”
This is too professional.
Saki: "We were just planning on buying cat food, nothing else really."
Nozaki knew that he couldn't continue the stalking this time, but he still wanted to fight for it: "Want to buy cat food? Why not take some with me? I can..."
His eyes sparkled: “I’ll help you carry the cat food!”
“…”
So it ended up being a threesome.
Goujuanji lowered his eyes slightly and didn't say anything, but he observed the tall man out of the corner of his eye.
Is she Saki's classmate?
He is very tall, almost as tall as Gojo Sensei.
On the other hand, he...
Goujuanji looked at the road ahead with cold eyes and expressionless face, but he was actually thinking about how many glasses of milk he should drink in a day.
Nozaki got the opportunity to travel with him openly, so he took his notes even more unscrupulously.
"Come to think of it, I don't think I've seen this classmate's uniform before. Is she from a nearby school?"
Gojuan Ji raised his eyes and nodded slightly, "Salmon."
Nozaki paused: "Salmon?"
Seeing this, Saki took on the responsibility of explaining it to Nozaki, telling him that Inumaki Tsuchiya couldn't speak normally due to some (secondary) reasons, and that he usually used rice ball language to express himself.
After listening to Saki's story, Nozaki's eyes lit up, "That sounds like a really good setting."
Saki:?
Nozaki couldn't help but switch places with Saki.
Their original position was Inumaki Tsutomu - Saki - Nozaki.
Now it becomes Inumaki Tsuchiya-Nozaki-Saki.
Saki:?
Hello, are you polite?
But Nozaki's enthusiasm was rising and he could no longer care about so many things.
He enthusiastically clung to Inumaki, muttering, "How did you come up with this setting? Are the words for rice balls used to replace everyday expressions? If others don't understand the meaning, will they use body language to supplement it? Speaking of which, what does 'salmon' mean? Are there any other settings besides this?"
Inugaki Ji: ...
Saki grabbed Nozaki's school uniform and tried to pull him back, but when she found that she couldn't, she ran to Inumaki Saki to help him block Nozaki, like an old hen protecting her chicks.
Inujuan Ji was stunned for a moment, his eyes fixed on Saki.
She gestured: "Stop! This is someone else's privacy, don't you ask him if he is willing to tell?"
Nozaki was not discouraged by this. His small eyes were shining brightly, "Well, would you like to tell me?"
Inugaki Ji: ...
This is not something that cannot be said.
Apart from the matters concerning spells, he could answer all the questions Nozaki asked.
Inumaki Ji glanced at Saki who was standing in front of him, and then nodded.
Nozaki immediately became happy.
Saki turned around and asked him a little worriedly, "Is it okay?"
Goujuanji nodded, his eyes narrowed: "Salmon."
After hesitating for a moment, he tentatively reached out and patted Saki's shoulder, then gave a thumbs-up sign: "Salmon."
Saki tilted her head, then smiled at him.
Gou Juanji pulled his neck and looked away, his earlobes red.
After that, Nozaki started communicating with Inumaki Satoru and finally added his contact information.
Sometimes even Saki has to admire Nozaki's ability to transform into a social maniac for the career he loves.
When they arrived at the pet store, because they had done their homework yesterday, they didn't spend too much time on choosing this time. Instead, they directly chose the cat food they had used before and paid for it.
On the way back, they reached a fork in the road, so Nozaki said goodbye to them and parted ways.
Saki carried her schoolbag back, and Gojuan was carrying cat food in her bag. The two of them walked quietly.
Gou Juanji lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the road ahead.
Then, it felt like someone poked my arm.
Gou Juanci froze for a moment and looked up suddenly: "Salmon?"
Saki looked at him curiously, "Are you daydreaming?"
Goujuanji pursed his lips: "Muyuhua..."
"Eh? No?"
Now Goujuanji didn't know whether to admit or deny it.
Saki: "Hmm, are you thinking about something? Oh, is it about the cat?"
Goujuanji shook his head.
Saki blinked and stared at him.
Goujuanji's eyelids moved.
Then, Saki suddenly realized that this wasn't a good idea, and they weren't that familiar with each other.
So she laughed dryly twice, trying to break the awkwardness.
Saki quickened her pace and walked forward. "It's okay, it's okay if you don't want to talk about it. Just pretend I didn't ask!"
But before she could run away, she felt a warmth on her wrist and someone grabbed her.
