Chapter 190

Let's start with the results.

We won.

Moreover, this was done without any moral high ground, yet it refuted Hitori.

But Ishikawa Hayato felt incredibly embarrassed. What was he doing, throwing a tantrum with his girlfriend and even resorting to sophistry?

Moreover, seeing Yili pursing her lips and puffing out her cheeks in Hitori resentful manner, he felt utterly ashamed. Wouldn't this further diminish his status within the family?

However, after staring at Hitori while, he couldn't help but laugh.

Hitori's pitiful look is really funny and cute.

Hitori was taken aback when he saw Ishikawa Hayato suddenly laugh.

But she quickly understood why Ishikawa Hayato was laughing. With her good temper, she quickly let go of what had just happened and felt that their argument was stupid.

She put her hand to her lips and chuckled softly.

But after all that fuss, it wasn't without its gains. The two of them learned each other's price and easily agreed on the household chores they would each take on.

After making the decision, Hitori noticed that Ishikawa Hayato suddenly looked at her thoughtfully before picking up the TV remote and turning on the TV.

The image appeared on the television, Hitori I looked over there.

She noticed that it was already 8:06, and at that moment, Ishikawa Hayato, who was watching TV, suddenly spoke up.

"What 'Hitori?"

I want to stay with Falcon like this.

Hitori had originally intended to say that, but remembering the look in Ishikawa Hayato's eyes just now, she reconsidered.

Falcon certainly knew that was what she wanted to answer, so why did she ask that question again, and why did she deliberately turn on the TV?

It took Hitori a long time to suddenly realize.

I usually practice guitar at this time, but I haven't practiced at all today. I'm itching to try it out, and I'm also a little tempted to experience practicing in my home practice room.

However, compared to the thought of staying with Ishikawa Hayato, it was only a fleeting one.

Facing Ishikawa Hayato, she didn't care whether her belated answer would make him feel strange, and looked at him as she spoke.

"I want to be with Falcon."

Ishikawa Hayato shifted his gaze from the television to Hitori, looked at her affirmative expression, and smiled as he spoke.

"A clingy little hamster."

When Hitori was wondering whether it was a kind word or a bad word, he put his arm around Hitori's waist and pulled her closer to him.

"In that case, let me hug you for a while."

"Um."

As noon approached, Hitori took out her phone to check the time: 11:09 AM. She then noticed that Ishikawa Hayato had noticed her looking at her phone.

She was reluctant to leave, but quickly stood up.

"Falcon... Falcon is waiting for me here."

What if I say no?

Ishikawa Hayato's serious and deep voice rang out.

Hitori nervously turned around and saw Ishikawa Hayato leaning against the sofa in a strange yet inexplicably handsome pose, and knew that he was just playing around again.

"Falcon..."

She cried out in distress.

Ishikawa Hayato stopped teasing her and sat up straight.

"Go ahead, but be careful not to get hurt."

Hitori felt slighted and quickly spoke up.

I will.

Ishikawa Hayato smiled.

Hitori to impress Ishikawa Hayato, Ichiri headed towards the kitchen.

Upon arriving here, Hitori suddenly realized that she hadn't prepared any materials. She hesitated for a while before turning to Ishikawa Hayato and asking.

"Falcon, that... that material..."

"There's some in the fridge."

Hitori opened the refrigerator and found that it, which had little food yesterday, was now crammed full.

Looking at the refrigerator full of food, she remembered that Ishikawa Hayato had asked her several times that morning if she could go buy groceries herself, but he had already bought them and prepared them.

Surprisingly, the falcon is also a tsundere.

Hitori smiled happily.

Looking at the contents of the refrigerator, she quickly decided what to make for lunch.

This is the first time I've prepared lunch for Ishikawa Hayato, so I'll make it a little sweet.

She brought out the ingredients and began to cook.

Since it was only for two people, Hitori was prepared very quickly. Some side dishes were ready in no time, and she stood by the stew pot waiting.

After calming down, she turned to look at Ishikawa Hayato, only to see him suddenly turn back to look at the television.

Was she just being cared for?

She was tempted.

Hitori checked the time again; it was 11:20. She felt a strange tension, but quickly relaxed.

In the past, she would have to prepare to take a bus to Shimokitazawa by this time, otherwise she might miss meeting up with everyone.

But now, that long car ride has been replaced by time spent with Ishikawa Hayato.

While she felt wonderful, she also realized that she needed to work harder to move forward.

Otherwise, although Falcon might not say anything, he would still be disappointed in her.

After lunch, she didn't stick with Ishikawa Hayato this time. Instead, she took advantage of the time before going to Fanxing to catch up on the practice she had missed that day.

151. Trapped

Within the stars.

Ryo, sitting in the chair, yawned. Even she felt that Ishikawa Hayato had been going a bit too far lately.

He was late twice in a row, and both times he brought another female teammate with him. I don't know what he did before he was late.

This is extremely excessive.

She glanced at Nijika, who was standing by the stairwell Nijika had her arms crossed, her eyes closed, and was leaning against the wall on the side of the stairwell.

The heavy atmosphere gave the feeling that a storm was brewing.

Beside Ryo, Kita looked at Nijika with concern. Judging from her expression, Ryo knew without a doubt that Kita would tell Nijika to calm down.

Sure enough, after a Kita while, Kita glanced at the door and said to Nijika.

"Ijichi-senpai, it might just be a coincidence. Those two are rarely late, so let them go."

Although Ryo knew she would do this, he wasn't sure if it was for Ishikawa Hayato's sake or just a habitual attempt to ease the tension.

When she saw Nijika move her eyelids, she also stepped forward and spoke.

"Bocchi is indeed rarely late."

Nijika opened her eyes as the two spoke, her expression no longer as resolute as before.

Kita glanced at Ryo with gratitude, but that gratitude lasted only a few seconds before crumbling.

Ryo said resolutely under their gazes.

"But Falcon is a repeat offender and needs to be punished."

Ryo-senpai! Wasn't the last time I was late because I was with you?

Kita yelled in his heart.

Ryo completely ignored Kita's astonished reaction, leaning back in his chair with an air of nonchalance, arms crossed, looking expectantly at the door, waiting for someone to come in and be killed by Nijika, who was possessed by Seika.

Seeing the two of them, one stirring things up and the other looking worried, Nijika sighed and put her hands on her hips.

"Shut your mouth, Liang!"

She naturally wouldn't act on Liang's words; she made her stance clear to the two of them, speaking seriously.

"Normally it's okay to be a little late, but today is the day of CD recording. PA-san is already on his way, and those two still haven't made a sound. This is just too much!"

Nijika knew that the two of them had come by tram, and it was normal for them to be late due to an accident. In the past, when they were occasionally late, they would send a message explaining the reason.

But this time they didn't say anything, didn't read her LINE messages, and she didn't even know if they had come over.

It's no wonder Nijika was worried and angry.

However, among the three who seemed troubled and uneasy about Ishikawa Hayato and Hitori being late together, there was one person who knew quite a bit of the inside story, but said nothing.

In contrast to the solemn atmosphere inside the starry sky, the two outside were much more lively and playful.

"Haha, I'm actually late now that I've moved so close by."

Ishikawa Hayato pulled Hitori as they jogged through the Shimokitazawa. He showed no remorse for being late and laughed heartily.

His happy mood seemed to be contagious to Hitori; she smiled faintly, but the smile quickly faded.

"Hayabusa, phew... we're late... if we're too happy... Nijika-chan will be angry, won't she..."

She spoke as she ran with difficulty.

Their quick, alternating footsteps traversed the streets, and soon they reached a place not far from the stars.

Ishikawa Hayato turned around and said with a smile.

"Nijika is the easiest to handle."

Hitori paused for a moment.

Falcon doesn't hide his scumbag side at all.

But she still followed him with a smile, even happier than before.

Before long, Ishikawa Hayato pulled Hitori as they jogged in from outside the starry sky.

As he ran down the corner, Ishikawa Hayato saw Nijika with a stern face downstairs. He noticed Nijika's gaze scanning back and forth between him and Hitori.

Ishikawa Hayato, however, waved to him without any concern.

Good morning, Nijika.

Nijika met his eyes with a stern gaze, and stomped her foot as if to express her dissatisfaction.

"I'm late!"

Ishikawa Hayato quickly apologized.

"Sorry, I got so engrossed in practicing at home today."

Nijika looked at him with dissatisfaction, clearly finding the reason too stupid and perfunctory.

It's unbelievable that two people would be late at the same time.

Ishikawa Hayato sensed her thoughts and quickly added something.

"There's a reason why I'm with Hitori."

"What is that?"
