Chapter 125 The Second Player

As an "exchange student", Hanayamain Haruna naturally does not need to wear the Jujutsu High School uniform, so there is a spectacle of "four people in black high school uniforms and one person in a shrine maiden costume".

On the first day that Hanayamain Haruna arrived at the technical high school, she found out in disbelief that she hadn't even had a chance to say hello or meet Gojo Satoru that day?

——That guy really ran very far, and Hanayamain Haruna couldn’t even catch a glimpse of his figure.

Even Ieichiro Naoko was a little puzzled: "Did Gojo take the wrong medicine? It's so strange, why do I feel like he seems a little...afraid of you?"

Even she herself did not believe what she said - how could Gojo Satoru, who was fearless, become afraid of others one day? How could it be possible!

But it is an irrefutable fact that he is hiding from Hanayamain Haruna, and Ieichi Shoko also knows it. Gojo Satoru clearly did not have this attitude half a month ago...

I've been staying up late lately to read too many novels, and my imagination has been growing. Ieiri Shoko narrowed her eyes, and her eyes suddenly became sharp: "Wouldn't that Gojo guy do anything to bully you or let you down?"

"Eh? No?" Hanayamain Haruna was stunned for a moment, blinking her eyes, a little confused: "Glass, has Satoru behaved abnormally in the past two weeks?"

"...Uh, it seems that there is none?"

When she asked this, Ieiri Naoko was also stunned. After searching her memory in her brain, she spoke uncertainly: "But, it's not certain... He has been walking with Getsu and Igarashi every day this week. He has become a little strange. No matter where Getsu and Igarashi go or what they do, he will follow them. When he is with them, there seems to be nothing different from usual."

"Why is that?" Hanayamain Haruna pondered.

It can't be that Geto Suguru or Yuuki Igarashi is actually a girl...? She has read too many novels, anime, and played too many games. For a moment, Hanayamain Haruna couldn't help but let her imagination run wild.

I can't help but imagine what it would look like if Igarashi Yuuki and Geto Suguru put on women's clothes... Ah, this, seems to be pretty good-looking...? Are good-looking people genderless? If I think about it again, well, Gojo Satoru's face also seems to look good in women's clothes...

…No, that’s not right!! I’m exaggerating. No matter how you look at Yuuki Igarashi and Geto Kagome, they don’t look like girls. And this is a girly romance game. How could something like this happen? There’s no such thing as a weird “evil female supporting character” in this game!

Hanayamain Haruna quickly threw away the messy thoughts in her mind.

No, she didn't believe that Gojo Satoru could keep hiding from her like this - if there was really no other way, she would just go find Geto Suguru - she didn't believe that Gojo Satoru could keep hiding from Geto Suguru while hiding from her?

The player made up his mind.

On the other hand, Geto Suguru and Haruto Nishimi were also curious about the question that Haruna Hanayamain wanted to know.

The only difference between them and Hanayamain Haruna is that the two of them can go directly to Gojo Satoru for questions.

The first one to ask the question was Saikai Haruto - he was not like Geto Suguru, who was tactful and thoughtful, and liked to keep the question deep in his heart and think over and over again whether it was appropriate. If Geto Suguru was alone, he might have guessed the reason in his heart three, four, five, six, seven times while asking Gojo Satoru, since both Gojo Satoru and Hanayamain Haruna were "friends". If Gojo Satoru didn't say it or just made up an excuse, Geto Suguru wouldn't ask any more questions.

The personality of "Igarashi Yuuki" is more straightforward. He may keep a certain distance from people he is not familiar with, but when it comes to familiar friends, he is a bit like Gojo Satoru. When he thinks of something, he tends to say it directly and ask it. Occasionally, he has a tendency to "get to the bottom of things" and will not give up until he gets a result. He always has his own way.

"Satoru, isn't Haruna your 'fiancée'? Why are you hiding from her?"

Saikai Haruto rested his arms carelessly on Gojo Satoru's shoulders and leaned his back against Gojo Satoru's back. He looked lazily and had obvious curiosity.

"Are you afraid of Haruna-san?"

"Yuuki, did you eat too much at noon again? You're really heavy now."

Gojo Satoru was originally sitting on the ground with his legs crossed, bending his waist slightly while playing games. His posture did not change at all when he was pressed down by him. Instead, he immediately stuck out his tongue in exaggeration: "Get up quickly, you are going to crush me to death, oh my god, my game——"

"Besides, Yuuki, are you kidding me? How could I be afraid of a mere Hanayamain Haruna—"

"Is it because you are too weak, Gojo?" Saikai Haruto rolled his eyes rudely and laughed. Not only did he not get up, but he also pressed Gojo Satoru's back rudely and pulled Geto over with him:

"Jay, come along too! Wu must be too weak and lacks exercise, come on, the two of us kindhearted people, come together and help him exercise again!"

"I think Yuuki is right. Satoru, you probably really need to exercise more. Are you so weak that you can't even carry this little weight?"

Geto Suguru was not polite at all. He followed Saikai Haruto's force and fell directly on the other side of Gojo Satoru's shoulder. He also moved at the same time to find a more comfortable position for himself. It was really comfortable.

The three of them were pressed back to back, and Gojo Satoru was really about to stick out his tongue - he was not going to show his bottom line. With the power of two adolescent DKs, Geto Suguru and "Igarashi Yuuki", plus the strength of Haruto Saikai, it would be too easy for them to suppress him alone.

"If you weren't scared, why were you hiding from Haruna?" asked Haruto Nishimi.

"Hey, hey, hey, I told you two to get up quickly, help! You are murdering your classmates—"

Gojo Satoru rolled his eyes and exaggerated: "Ha, I knew you two wanted to murder me, right? So you two can keep the secret? I tell you two, you are dreaming! I will not let you go even if I become a ghost. I have already sent the secret to Mr. Ye Moth on time--"

"Wake up, Wu, even if you die, the most you can become is a cursed spirit, not a ghost."

Xia Yujie smiled and exposed him, not intending to cooperate with the performance at all: "What plot are you acting out? Is it the plot of the new game "Great Odd Tales" from the day before yesterday or the plot of "Sword and Butterfly Dance" from yesterday?"

"Is it the content of the side story of Lady Ningning in "The Great Odds"?"

Xi Haiqingdou took over very smoothly, and immediately entered an immersive performance in the next second: "Hehe, you probably don't know, Mr. Ye Moth, he has also been bribed by me - I already know your secret! Even if you become a cursed spirit, I can still kill you - don't worry, when you die, I will remember to prepare a beautiful sea for you."

Xia Yujie suddenly realized: "Ah, is it the plot from there? I haven't played that branch yet."

"Ah, damn it, Igarashi Yuuki, you are such a cruel man - no, hey, Yuuki, you tampered with the plot!"

Gojo Satoru was halfway through his performance when he gave up and raised his head and yelled, "This is not the original line. You should have said sorry for the small mistake and apologize to me. By the way, Jay, you are so despicable that you didn't even mention the side story of Madam Ningning."

As he was talking, he couldn't help but laugh at Getsuji.

"Come on, you're talking as if you were saying the original lines. Are you changing the lines? There's no such apology in the original plot."

Saikai Haruto rolled his eyes unceremoniously: "Anyway, the characters have all changed. If I say it's like this, it's like this. Jay must think it's okay - right, Jay?"

"That's right, two to one, Wu, you lose again."

Geto Summer said in a cool voice: "Also, although I didn't play that branch quest, I have already completed "Sword and Butterfly Dance". I just don't like chariot games that much. Who is so interested in chariot games like you, Satoru?"

"Hey, Jie, don't underestimate palace fighting games. All games have different fun." Xi Haiqingdou, who was accidentally shot by Geto Jie, protested.

"Ah, sorry Yuuki."

Gojo Satoru said, "I'm almost done with this, too!"

“So, Satoru, tell me the truth quickly and don’t change the subject—”

Saikai Haruto half-turned over on Gojo Satoru's back and poked him with his finger: "Hurry up and explain it to us, otherwise, Jie and I will have to find Haruna as well."

He threatened coldly.

After going around in circles, the topic comes back again.

...Ah, he had said so much in a roundabout way, why did Yuki still remember it? It was easy to fool Jie before when Jie was the only one there, and he always succeeded as long as he changed the topic.

Gojo Satoru grumbled in his heart.

He blinked innocently: "Who is changing the subject? Maybe you and Jie? You changed the subject yourself, Yuuki, why are you blaming me?"

"If you really don't want to say it..."

"Changing the subject", Geto spoke slowly and drawn out his words, as if he hadn't finished what he was saying yet. Gojo Satoru's eyes immediately lit up: "Can you not say it? I knew that you, Geto, are the one who is on my side!"

"——Then I will have no choice but to go with Yuuki to help Haruna."

After finishing his words, Xia Yujie saw the expression on Gojo Satoru's face change from complacency to a salted fish look. He couldn't help but laugh in his heart. He couldn't help but let his thoughts wander and asked along the lines of what Saikai Haruto had said before: "Satoru, you're not really afraid of Haruna, are you?"

"Huh? How is that possible? How could I be afraid of her?"

Gojo Satoru was furious. It had to be said that the "threat" of Saikai Haruto and Geto Suguru was still very useful. Gojo Satoru answered honestly: "I don't know why, but I felt something was wrong when I saw her... She didn't come to see me for the past two weeks, so I forgot about her. In the past two weeks, I felt that she was very normal and there was nothing wrong at all."

"But who knew she would suddenly show up today—" Gojo Satoru stretched out his tone in dissatisfaction, as if he was complaining and making a coquettish complaint to his two friends: "I was almost scared, and that strange feeling came back again."

"——Since I was normal when I didn't see her for the past two weeks, and abnormal when I saw her, then why don't I just not see her? How about this method? Isn't it perfect?"

Gojo Satoru proudly told his perfect plan, and after showing off to his two friends, his voice became slightly lower and he became a little puzzled: "Hey, Jie, Yuuki, don't you two feel that there is something wrong with seeing her?"

This guy's mood is just like the weather in June, changing without any warning.

Xihai Qingdou suddenly thought of it.

What's wrong?

Xia Yujie blinked his eyes, and his heart couldn't help but skip a beat - he always felt that he might have a little affection for Hanayamain Haruna, right? But it was not convenient or appropriate to say it out loud. Other than that, it seemed that there was nothing else, right?

So he calmly replied, "No? Do you think everyone is like you?"

"Ah, so Satoru, you really don't like Haruna? You said that... that strange feeling, isn't it that your heartbeat speeds up, you think about Haruna easily, you can't help but want to look at her, etc.?"

Geto Xiayu stood up and couldn't help but glance at Gojo Satoru again, with doubt and helplessness in his eyes - this guy still doesn't know what "like" is? To be honest, isn't it because he has never liked anyone before and can't distinguish between feelings, which is just an "elementary school" reason?

"Although you are right, Jay..." Gojo Satoru said thoughtfully with obvious doubt and suspicion: "But why do I feel that you and I may not have the same reason?"

He stressed: "Although it's not 'dangerous', it's really not right! I've never experienced something wrong before!"

Then he turned to look at Saikai Haruto: "Yuuki, what about you?"

"Hey, me?"

Xi Haiqingdou blinked and smiled: "I also seem to feel something is wrong, and it seems to be a bit similar to what you said, Wu?"

"What?"

"What?"

This time it was Xia Yujie and Gojo Satoru who were surprised: "Yuuki, are you telling the truth?"

“It’s just a little bit like that.”

Nishimi Haruto waved her hands, not really caring, with a frank expression: "Besides, Haruna is very pretty and cute - well, one of the prettiest people I've ever seen, and she has a very good personality too. In fact, this 'abnormality' is not 'abnormality' at all, but 'very normal', right?"

"Huh?" Gojo Satoru was puzzled: "What's normal about this?"

Not knowing where his brain was going, he asked suspiciously, "And am I not more handsome than her? Why is she the 'best-looking' one?"

...Fellow student Gojo Satoru, you really don't need to have such a strong desire to win everywhere.

Even Xi Haiqing Dou was speechless for a moment, and nodded perfunctorily: "Yeah, yeah, you are also one of the best looking ones."

He tried to change the subject: "I mean, for a girl like Haruna, everyone will feel the 'abnormality' you mentioned when they see her, so this is also a kind of 'normal'. Jay can't feel it because he is about to become a Buddha, so his heart has no desires, so naturally he can't feel it."

He teased Geto a little bit again, and after receiving a helpless gesture of supporting his forehead and a quiet "Yuuki" from the other party to stop him, Xi Haiqingdou shrugged innocently and continued:

"As for me, I'm just an ordinary person. Haruna-san is so pretty. Oh, I even feel a little moved. Everyone feels the same way."

"Huh? Yuuki, do you like her?"

Gojo Satoru was surprised for a moment, then he frowned subconsciously, with a resistance expression: "I don't like her——"

Xia Yujie was also surprised, his eyes widened unexpectedly - did he just say that? !

"Ah, I didn't." Xi Haiqingdou blinked innocently, his expression even a little surprised and confused: "Does being moved mean that you like it?"

——Just listening to what he said, it sounds like he is no different from a scumbag.

"Yuuki, what did you say?"

Xia Yujie was stunned. He simply couldn't believe that these words came from the mouth of "Igarashi Yuuki".

However, there was another person named Gojo Satoru who was listening to this. He immediately raised his hand to express his agreement: "I think so too! Ah, Yuuki, you are right!"

——Oh no, his two friends from the same period couldn’t be “scumbag candidates”, right?

Xia Yujie's expression became serious, and he sat a little further away from the two of them without saying a word.
