"I said..."
Kazehara Tetsu scratched his hair. Although his tone was lazy, his eyes were sober, "Although I'm glad that you appreciate me so much, I should have said it before, right? It's even been reported in some tabloids that I have a girlfriend."
This is true.
His private life was, to some extent, not only crowded, but even chaotic.
"I, we also heard..."
The Class B girl bit her lower lip, but did not flinch. Instead, she raised her head, "But... can't you just add a friend? I won't bother you, just... I just want to see Kagihara's updates occasionally, or... well, it would be nice if I could say a word or two."
"Even as ordinary friends..."
Looking at the eyes in front of him, Kazehara Tetsu shrugged.
If a few boys dared to block the road like this, he would have kicked them away and told them to go away and cool off.
But for cute girls, even men with a bad personality like him will still retain a trace of tolerance called "Gentleman's Demeanor".
In other words, as a male creature, he does not feel repulsive to the admiration of the opposite sex in terms of physiological instinct.
"Just this once."
"Wow! Really? Thank you so much!"
"Thank you Kagihara!"
The expressions on the faces of several girls instantly changed from uneasy to ecstatic, as if they had won the lottery, they hurriedly took out their mobile phones.
With several prompts Sound System indicating that friends have been successfully added, this small "meeting" finally came to an end.
"Then I won't bother you anymore! See you later!"
The girls bowed contentedly and ran away in groups, with only the occasional whisper coming from them.
"Huh..."
Kazehara Tetsu took back his cell phone and looked at the retreating figures. The polite smile at the corner of his mouth gradually faded and he returned to his usual indifference.
Is this... a so-called "popular annoyance"?
Just as he was about to put his phone back into his pocket and continue his interrupted journey home.
"Buzz..."
The phone vibrated again.
It's not the polite greetings sent by the girls just now, nor is it a group message.
What popped up on the screen was an extremely brief message with a strong sour taste.
Sender: Karuizawa Kei.
"Hey, you seem to be very popular."
Kazehara Tetsu looked at this line of writing, turned his head slightly, and casually glanced at the still bustling crowd around him.
Doesn't require much searching.
He caught the figure at the edge of the conspicuous small group not far away from him.
Karuizawa Kei.
She still maintains her usual glamorous hot girl image.
Her long golden hair was curled into delicate arcs, her slender white thighs were exposed under the skirt of her school uniform, and she had a slightly arrogant smile on her face. She was chatting with several girls around her.
As the current "Core Couple" on the surface of Class D, she must maintain the persona of "Hirata's girlfriend".
Therefore, she couldn't just walk over and talk to him openly like the girls just now.
Her eyes briefly met Kazehara Tetsu's in the air for a moment, and then quickly moved away, as if it was just an inadvertent coincidence.
Kazehara Tetsu withdrew his gaze and raised a playful arc at the corner of his mouth.
He tapped the screen a few times quickly.
"What? Are you jealous?"
The message is sent.
A few seconds later, the reply came.
"Don't be ridiculous. I'm just afraid that some people are shameless and start thinking about lewd things when looking at those girls."
Typical Tsundere style speech.
It is Karuizawa Kei's consistent method to use such offensive language to cover up his inner vacillation.
Thinking about sexy things?
Kazehara Tetsu's mind flashed through the images of those girls just now.
Although she is young and cute, in his eyes, she is just a little bit pretty.
In comparison...
"I usually don't think about it."
"After all, for me, if I want, I can just do it. Just like I do for you."
Send.
This time, Karuizawa Kei in the distance visibly stiffened.
Even from such a long distance, Kazehara Tetsu seemed to be able to see the blush creeping up to her ears at that moment.
Karuizawa Kei did not reply immediately.
She stared at the screen, her breathing becoming somewhat rapid.
She knew this man was telling the truth.
Kazehara Tetsu has never been the kind of herbivorous boy who only dares to think in his head.
Moreover, she knew very well that she was not the only prey.
The Sakayanagi Arisu of Class A is said to be his "real girlfriend".
The Electric Wave Woman Morishita Ai who strangely followed him on Sports Festival and also participated in Two-Person Three-Legged Race with him also claimed to be his woman.
Even Kamuro Masumi, who always follows Sakayanagi and looks extremely cold, seems to have some ambiguous relationship with him.
This is only what she can see.
How many women are hidden behind this man?
Karuizawa Kei Don't know.
"Ding."
Just when she was thinking wildly, her phone vibrated again.
This time, what Kazehara Tetsu sent was no longer the kind of useless words, but a question.
"Kazehara Tetsu: Let's get down to business. Class C Has anyone come to see you recently? Or have you noticed any strange sights?"
The sudden change of topic made Karuizawa Kei stunned for a moment.
Class C?
Why do you ask this suddenly?
"No. Except sometimes I get glared at when I meet at Cafeteria, no one comes to contact me specifically. What's wrong? What happened?"
An uneasiness arose in her heart.
Although Kazehara Tetsu promised her before that he would protect her, but...
"Nothing."
Kazehara Tetsu looked at the reply on the screen.
That day he signed a contract with Ryuen Kakeru.
He used the information "Manabe Shiho is a traitor" in exchange for Ryuen Kakeru's one million Points and not being allowed to contact or target Outsider.
Although the contract is legally binding, the cost of breaking the contract is high.
But that person Ryuen Kakeru is a madman.
The logic of a madman cannot be completely measured by interests.
If in the process of torturing Manabe Shiho, the woman revealed more details about Karuizawa Kei's previous bullying for Self-Preservation...
There's no guarantee that that evil guy Ryuen Kakeru won't set his sights here again.
Finally, he typed a line of words to end the conversation.
"After all, I don't want my 'little Parasite' to be bullied where I don't see it. If it is accidentally damaged, it will be very troublesome to find a new host."
"..."
Karuizawa Kei looked at this line of words and the dazzling title "Parasite".
If it were before, she might have felt angry and humiliated.
But now, when this line of words came into view, what she felt was a... strange sense of peace of mind.
Although she was belittled as "Parasite", it also meant that as long as she was still his Parasite, that powerful host would support her with an absolutely safe sky in order to protect her own interests.
"That's all you can do."
She replied somewhat Tsundere, then quickly turned off the phone screen, put it against her chest, and exhaled a long breath.
