Chapter 12 Edamame, Fresh Cream, Dafubei: She seems to have misunderstood something.
Miyako arrived at Amaho Akina's class a little late.
He took a breath, clung to the door frame, and looked at the empty classroom.
"Did Tianhui leave early?" he muttered to himself.
Well, maybe he just left because he didn't wait for him, Gong You thought to himself.
He hadn't considered the other possibility at all.
In other words, Amaho Akina might have just been taken away by someone else, or something similar.
It was getting late, so Gong You decided not to waste any more time and ran towards the volleyball hall.
When he knocked on the door of the volleyball hall, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
If I'm not mistaken, the people standing there chatting are Miyaji and Amaho Akina!
Since Gong You hadn't arrived yet, the volleyball team members rested for a while.
This is why Miyaji had the opportunity to chat with Akina Amaho.
He was smiling, but when he saw Gong You open the volleyball hall door and then look at him with an incredulous expression, his smile slowly faded.
Gong You suddenly realized something.
He was wrong all along!
In other words, Amaho Akina did not go back, but was taken away by Miyaji and brought to the volleyball hall first.
"Zhu Zhi, why didn't you wait for me?"
Gong You walked up, but didn't question Tian Suimingna, nor did he have a reason to.
At this point, Miyako also realized that although he said those things, his relationship with Amaho Akina was not that good.
She had no right to ask Akina Amaho why she left with Miyaji.
So he simply blamed Miyaji.
Of course, the subtext was questioning how he managed to overtake them by bringing Amaho Akina over first.
"Why should I wait for you? If you drag your feet and finish cleaning, who knows how long it will take."
Gong Zhi pursed his lips, took a small step forward, and stood in front of Gong You.
Akina Amane took a step back, looking at the two people with a puzzled expression.
Are they going to start arguing again?
I have no way of calming them down...
Rather, the fact that she didn't simply hide far away when that situation occurred already showed them a great deal of respect.
Akina Amane looked around somewhat flusteredly, trying to find someone to take charge, and then her eyes lit up.
She saw Kita Shinsuke standing not far away.
He was frowning slightly, looking in their direction with a hint of disapproval.
There was another person standing next to him, holding up their phone in this direction.
Ah, maybe they're planning to call the police.
Akina Amaho slowly exhaled.
No, these two didn't even fight, so there's no need to call the police!
Or is this already a fixed strategy of the volleyball team?
I have a feeling that I've misunderstood something.
Akina Amane's attention was once again drawn to the arguing in front of her.
"I never procrastinate; I always finish quickly!"
Miya Yu felt that Miyaji's evaluation was biased.
This is clearly a slander against him!
He definitely wants to finish cleaning quickly so he can play volleyball!
Clearly, his attention was immediately diverted again.
"Also, why did you bring Tian Sui here? We agreed to bring her along to watch the show."
But it seems that Gong You still can't forget his true purpose.
"When did you say that? We were going to bring her along."
Miyaji stated that he had never heard that statement before.
In short, regardless of whether this statement actually existed, Akina Amaho wants to say it.
"Actually, even if no one brought me here, I could have come to the volleyball hall to visit on my own."
Gong You and Gong Zhi both looked at her.
Akina Amaho's expression was very serious.
"It's not that I don't know the way."
Hmm, she had a feeling that these two people would come looking for her just to pester her to draw a few more pictures?
Although Akina Amazu didn't understand why she needed these things when she already seemed so popular.
"What? I didn't come to find you to walk together because I was afraid you would get lost."
Gong You was a little unhappy.
He clearly... he clearly wanted to talk to Amaho Akina a little longer.
After all, he was still looking forward to the gift that would be given to him over the weekend.
Based on this, he also wanted to go up to the painting every day to ask about its progress.
Gong Zhi did not speak for a moment.
He wasn't doing it for that purpose either.
"I think we should be considered friends, right? It's perfectly normal for me to come looking for you."
But he couldn't possibly reveal his true intentions.
So, after careful consideration, I asked that question.
"Yeah, we should be friends now, right?"
Gong You blinked, still a little troubled about how to explain.
Hearing what Miyaji said, he naturally used the same reason as Li Ke.
The twins don't seem to be arguing anymore.
Looking at this place from afar, Kita Nobusuke breathed a sigh of relief.
He waved and, together with the coach, led the others to train first.
Then he walked towards Gong You and Gong Zhi.
The conversation between the three continued until Kita Nobusuke arrived.
"Um... are we friends?"
This question really stumped Amaho Akina.
She lowered her head slightly, resting her chin on her fingers, deep in thought about the question.
Uh, what exactly is the concept and definition of a friend?
Having no friends, Akina Amamiya fell into deep thought.
"Seriously? Aren't we friends yet?"
Gong You's eyes widened.
He considered them friends as early as last weekend!
They've already exchanged contact information, and he even took her out to eat. In fact, Akina Amaho even shared her rice ball with him.
No matter how you look at it, Akina Amako has tacitly agreed that they are already friends, right?
"Uh... I guess I should?"
Akina Amako wasn't sure either, so she used a slightly doubtful tone.
She had just rummaged through her mind to find her definition of a friend.
Friends are people you have a good relationship with, share common interests and communicate frequently, feel comfortable around, and get together whenever you have time.
It seems we do share a common language?
They agreed to meet together... and that's indeed the case.
Uh, could you say they get along well?
However, Akina Amaho cannot deny this point.
She was startled to realize that when they were together, it was indeed... well.
She was indeed very happy, although she sometimes found them annoying.
But she did feel relaxed when they were together.
Then we should be friends.
"Seriously? You're still not sure about this? We're already friends!"
Miyako was still shouting loudly, clearly unhappy with Amako Akina's answer.
Although Miyaji didn't speak, he looked at Amaho Akina with a deep gaze.
There seemed to be a hint of disbelief and condemnation in his gaze.
Akina Amako felt a chill run down her spine as she was stared at by that gaze.
"Ah, I know. Because I always called her Tian Sui, Tian Sui thought we were just strangers."
Gong Zhi lowered his eyebrows.
Gong You stared at him with wide eyes, feeling that Gong Zhi looked very unfamiliar.
It feels so unfamiliar, like... uh, like something I've seen on TV before, something like green tea!
Akina Amane waved her hand somewhat flusteredly: "That's not how it is."
She saw Kita Shinsuke approaching and breathed a sigh of relief.
"You guys go train first, we can continue this topic later."
Well, at least she got away for a short while, and Akina Amane relaxed.
After listening to Kita Shinsuke's words, Miya Yu and Miyaji obediently followed behind him and walked towards the center of the venue.
"She clearly likes me a lot... how come we're not even friends anymore?" Gong You said softly to Gong Zhi, still feeling a little aggrieved.
"You should take a closer look before saying something like that."
Gong Zhi rolled his eyes almost imperceptibly.
He didn't intend to continue refuting Gong You at this point, since he already had some answers.
Akina Amaho remained in her seat from yesterday.
Her gaze swept past Gong You and fell upon Gong Zhi.
I'll start by drawing Miyaji. I can't keep drawing only Miyayu.
She felt inexplicably guilty about the two people who had suddenly become friends, and felt that she couldn't favor one over the other.
Yeah, and today I plan to draw some other people too.
Her gaze then fell upon a person in the center of the field who looked somewhat lazy.
Yes, it's the person who just had their phone in hand, seemingly about to call the police.
Akina Amako took out her drawing board and was about to start drawing when Shinsuke Kita, who was sitting next to her, suddenly started talking.
"You probably know that what happened today has already affected their training, right?"
Kita Shinsuke did not look at Amaho Akina.
Akina Amane paused, and her movements slowed down.
She nodded: "Yes, they started arguing because of me, right?"
She felt a little guilty about it, since it was her presence that caused their conflict.
What the relationship between the twins was like before remains unknown.
"Perhaps you should still talk to them and make things clear."
This time, Kita Shinsuke looked at Amaho Akina and nodded to her.
He doesn't care about the romantic relationships of the team members.
Akina Amako paused for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully: "Okay, I understand."
She had a sudden realization, but it was unclear what exactly she had understood.
Kita Shinsuke had a subtle feeling that Amaho Akina's thoughts were different from his own.
He sighed and got up to join the training session in the center of the stadium.
So, what exactly is Akina Amaho thinking?
She thought that perhaps Kita Shinsuke thought her presence in the volleyball club would affect their training, and perhaps she shouldn't come anymore.
After all, it was because I came that they started arguing.
With these thoughts in mind, Akina Amako's heart was in turmoil.
Although she sketched a few figures on the paper, she was never quite satisfied.
She placed the previous drafts underneath and took out new drafts, but this time the draft was equally unsatisfactory.
Perhaps I won't be able to draw well today; I should focus on copying the movements instead.
Akina Amako sighed, sketched the proportions with a pencil, and then recorded the movements, but she did not draw a complete figure, only a rough outline.
When Miyako and Miyaji were resting, Miyako still curiously came over to look at Amaho Akina's drawing board.
Akina Amako suddenly covered the drawing board with her hand and cleared her throat.
"I won't be coming to the volleyball club tomorrow or the day after, so you don't need to come looking for me after school."
"Hey, why aren't you coming?"
Gong You stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
"It's because of what Chunyu did before that bothered you, right?"
Gong You clicked his tongue lightly.
As Miyako called out, Akina Amaho spoke up: "No, I just want to rest for two days to organize my paintings."
"I have a lot of material to work on today, so I want to go home early."
This could be considered a white lie.
She wasn't one to lie, but out of kindness to her friend, Amaho Akina decided to say it anyway.
In any case, what she said was true to some extent; she did need more time to hone her painting skills.
Gong You's eyes lit up again.
He probably thought that Akina Amaho went back first so that she could finish the gift she wanted to give him sooner.
He heard Amaho Akina's explanation and had no further objections, nodding quickly.
Miyaji also found nothing unusual in Amaho Akina's explanation.
He nodded.
