But after a careful thought, no, that wouldn't work.
Matsubara Ayumu has a fair-skinned childhood friend, Shigen Ryouka. If she were to follow Kobayashi-ge, then he would be even closer to him.
Aiya Hiroshi has a widowed sister-in-law. Although she's a bit older, she's still a beautiful woman. If Aiya Hiroshi shows filial piety and truly becomes Kobayashi-ge's younger brother, their relationship would also deepen.
As for Anshi Seiji, he hasn't been heard to have any sisters or childhood friends; even both his parents are alive. He also resembles his mother, seemingly having no competitive edge at all. But he was dedicated and accompanied Kobayashi-ge before he rose to prominence, so he must be the "original partner"...
Damn, the person with the least influence is himself!?
So Yamamoto Sakito put down his arrogance and physically blended in with this group of people.
"'Khan'... is the title of the leader of nomadic political entities on the Mongolian plateau after the fourth century," Aiya Hiroshi said ominously.
Yamamoto Sakito gave Matsubara Ayumu a strange look: "Exotic flavor, Matsubara, you're playing it quite wild."
"Shut up, don't you want to know what I went out to do?" Matsubara Ayumu said. He wiped another bead of sweat. There was indeed air conditioning in the classroom, set to a cool twenty-two degrees. Even for high schoolers, the room temperature would usually be twenty-six degrees, but outside, it was a furnace nearing thirty-eight degrees. If he wasn't doing something important, why would he go out and suffer? Matsubara Ayumu thought.
"What? Offering your butt to the Khan?" Yamamoto Sakito scoffed.
"Hey, I'm telling you, don't regret it later," Matsubara Ayumu said, then lifted his shirt. Yamamoto Sakito was about to say, "Don't mess around, I'm not into that," when he saw Matsubara Ayumu pull a book from his belly and from his pants' waistband: "The latest 'Mishukushi,' I borrowed it from a buddy in the next class."
"Father," Yamamoto Sakito said, quickly huffing and puffing over, "Yamamoto has drifted for half his life without meeting a true master. If you do not abandon me, Yamamoto is willing to acknowledge you as his adoptive father."
Aiya Hiroshi looked down on him: "Things whose lower body dictates their brain, what a mess, I despise it." Then he tried to rally support, "You agree, right, Anshi?"
"You're so pure, you're 1080p," Anshi Seiji rolled his eyes. "Our lower body dictating our brain shows we have spiritual roots, what do you… you don't even understand a thing!… Good daddy, let your son see too."
Aiya Hiroshi was even more disdainful.
A bunch of ignorant fools… What's so good about lady stuff? Lolis are the treasure of this world…
He shook his head. He often found himself unable to communicate with them because his aesthetic taste was three levels ahead of theirs.
Aiya Hiroshi took a bite of his bread, intending to pull out his phone to check the latest serialized "The Little Dragon Man's Maid"… Then he chewed, and before he even opened the paid manga website: "Anshi, is your yakisoba bread plum flavored? It's quite unique, where did you buy it?"
"Huh? It's spicy cream flavor," Anshi Seiji said, exhaling hot air, indicating "this is exciting," "this is super awesome," "OMG, why is this panty just a single line," and casually dismissed Aiya Hiroshi.
It was neither creamy nor spicy, only a…
Aiya Hiroshi looked at the yakisoba bread's brand:
"Damn you?! This damn thing expired two weeks ago, and you pulled it out for me?! Damn it!"
"Bang!"
The yakisoba bread hit Anshi Seiji's head, and Aiya Hiroshi squatted by the trash can, gagging.
A wave of nausea.
Ugh.
…He wouldn't die before reaching Zhongnan Mountain, would he…
Watching Aiya Hiroshi's convulsing back, Hayato finally felt a little conscience and couldn't bear it:
"Uh, I need to go out for a bit. Do you want anything to eat? My treat."
"Wuwu, Kobayashi-ge, you're truly my big brother…" Aiya Hiroshi was in tears.
Hayato felt even more heartbroken, unable to breathe… Next time, I'll at least leave you an egg, Xiao Guang!
The other three of the ""Four Heavenly Kings"" were engrossed in lewdness.
Only two went out. One was a staunch loli fan. As for why Hayato scoffed at "Mishukushi," it wasn't because he was noble, but because he'd had quite a bit of real-life experience recently, and he simply couldn't get aroused by such ethereal things, whether it was… or sexual interest.
However.
It really was hot outside…
Like a giant oven.
As soon as he stepped out, Hayato felt a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and his back was damp.
"Even the corridor is so stuffy, let alone the playground directly exposed to the sun…" Aiya Hiroshi said.
"…Who taught you to phrase it like that?" Hayato asked.
Aiya Hiroshi chuckled. He just thought putting "sun" and "playground" together had a dramatic effect. "I heard the temperature in Tokyo is going to break new records, reaching over forty degrees…"
"Ugh…" Hayato said.
Damn, that crappy place of his didn't have air conditioning…
But then he thought, it doesn't matter. When the time comes, he'll just make Yukino Fuyumi angry.
When she gets agitated, won't he get whatever wind or snow he wants?
Enjoying the whole summer.
"But there's also good news," Aiya Hiroshi said.
"What?"
"I heard that because of the high temperatures, schools in Tokyo might close early… Our summer vacation will be longer than usual." For students, the happiest thing is vacation. What's happier than vacation can only be a long vacation.
"Kobayashi-ge, what are your plans for summer vacation?" Aiya Hiroshi asked.
Hayato didn't answer him, but instead said gloomily:
"Final exams will also be moved up…"
"..." Aiya Hiroshi's smile froze, and he said sadly, "Kobayashi-ge, can you not bring up such sad things?"
"Then let's talk about something happy," Hayato said.
"…What?"
"There's a beautiful girl ahead."
"What?"
Aiya Hiroshi's eyes widened.
