Shiro immediately looked heartbroken when he heard what these people said.
"I misjudged my friends, I really misjudged my friends."
"Let me say it one more time, I am a good person. Could you please stop constantly treating me like a bad person? It really hurts my feelings."
"Heh heh!"
At best, Shiro's words only received a single "heh heh" as a response from everyone. Honestly, even his teeth hurt a little from that. According to his own memory, it didn't seem like he had done anything wrong, so what was everyone doing?
"Forget it, I won't lower myself to your level."
Shiro continued dragging the two guys along and boasting, since he didn't have anything else to do at the moment anyway. As for going somewhere else to have fun, there wasn't enough time.
As class time drew closer, several of them planned to go to the restroom. Shiro stood up and walked forward, and by pure coincidence collided face to face with Itsuki who was coming back.
At that moment, Hikigaya Hachiman, that fish with dead eyes, suddenly remembered something. He immediately turned around and bumped into Shiro, who had just stood up and was about to move forward. Under normal circumstances, he would have been the one to fall, but his miraculous body inexplicably kicked in.
"Ah~"
Itsuki screamed when she saw Shiro falling, but she herself didn't fare any better and fell as well.
The sound of their fall was quite loud. The only fortunate thing was that there weren't too many people around at that moment, but some still saw them falling together. However, because the desks blocked the view, only their group behind them saw the real situation.
Shiro felt like crying. He was at the peak of infinite individual power, so why couldn't he be immune? Although the benefits were good, big brother, couldn't you choose a more appropriate occasion?
When no one was around, no matter how much she threw herself at him, he wouldn't feel guilty; on the contrary, he would even say, "Good throw!" But now, with so many people…
The most important thing was that when Shiro tried to get up, his hand moved instinctively. At that moment, he immediately understood, because such a thing had happened before, so the sensation was very familiar to him, or rather, it had left a deep impression.
"Ah~"
"Don't move!"
Itsuki let out a shy sound.
At that moment, Shiro spoke.
"Don't move, okay? Be careful not to expose yourself."
Then Shiro slowly pulled his hand out, but in the process instinctively moved it several more times. Itsuki wanted to scream, but forced herself to endure it, her eyes filled with shame and anger as she looked at him.
Shiro gave her an apologetic and helpless look, as if saying, "I didn't do it on purpose, I couldn't hold back."
Itsuki stood up, tidied herself, then looked at Shiro and said:
"You big pervert!"
"Pervert!"
Itsuki immediately accused him. She felt like she had suffered a huge loss. She knew that their previous falls together hadn't been this serious, but this time it was a real, undeniable loss.
She even felt that she might never get married in this lifetime.
Fortunately, Shiro didn't know that the girl in front of him had such thoughts, because otherwise he would definitely have said, "I'll marry you."
And Shiro, facing her curses, scratched the back of his head apologetically.
"Sorry, sorry, I didn't do it on purpose. I was just hit by some bastard earlier."
Then Shiro turned his head and looked at the two guys with a murderous gaze. One of them had definitely bumped into him.
But at that moment, the two of them resolutely turned their heads away, pretending they hadn't seen anything. After all, this wasn't a blame worth taking; taking it could easily lead to big trouble. Besides, Shiro had already gained plenty of benefits. So at most, they only felt guilty toward Itsuki. As for Shiro, that lucky pervert, they felt no guilt at all; on the contrary, they were extremely envious.
Itsuki, having suffered a huge loss for no reason, could only puff out her cheeks, her whole face looking like a steamed bun.
When Shiro saw her like that, he immediately clasped his hands together in an apologetic gesture.
"I'll treat you to dessert after school. You choose the place, whatever you want."
Shiro directly used his trump card.
Against this sweet-toothed foodie, it was the most effective method. And sure enough, after hearing this, she snorted.
"Then wait until I eat you into bankruptcy."
She said it in a fierce tone. After all, in a situation like this, what else could she do besides agree? It wasn't like she could beat this guy up.
Given how thick-skinned he was, leaving everything else aside, her hands would hurt from hitting him.
Seeing that this guy would treat her to food as compensation, she reluctantly accepted it.
The others, seeing how the two of them reconciled so quickly, thought to themselves that Itsuki was really easy to fool. Didn't Shiro just take advantage of the situation again? Not only did he take advantage of her personally, but he even coaxed her into going out with him. After all, what difference was there between two people going for dessert and going on a date?
Kosaka Kyosuke's eyes were full of envy at that moment. Then he looked at the other dead-eyed fish and signaled, "See what you did, you created an opportunity for this guy."
Hikigaya Hachiman also showed an expression of dissatisfaction, not expecting that he had inadvertently given this guy an assist.
And Shiro, at that moment, seeing that he had appeased the bun-faced girl, didn't waste any words. He directly grabbed the shoulders of the two guys and dragged them away.
"Come on, let's have a little talk."
"You bastard, you've already taken enough advantage, and you still come to bother us."
"That's right! Normally you should be thanking us!"
Shiro ignored their accusations and just dragged them away.
"Yui, I'm really curious, this guy is your childhood friend, right? How did you manage to stay with him until now?"
"Speaking of which, Shiro, didn't he try something with you?"
Because the commotion was a bit loud, people from the popular group also noticed. Just then, Miura Yumiko, known as the queen of the popular group, looked at Yui Yuigahama beside her and asked in a curious tone.
Yui blushed when she heard this.
"Yumiko, what are you talking about? Shiro isn't that kind of person. Those were all accidents."
Miura Yumiko didn't really believe in the word "accidents."
"Yui, are you sure it was an accident and not that he deliberately took advantage of the situation?"
"After all, since the class division, I don't know how many times I've seen situations like this, and they seem to be happening more and more. Are you sure he hasn't gotten addicted to exploiting opportunities?"
"No, really not, because even Mikan once fell together with him, so he really wasn't doing it on purpose."
Miura Yumiko didn't say anything more after hearing this. After all, she had learned from her friend that the other person was his younger sister. This guy couldn't be so beastly as to lay a hand on his own sister, right?
"Hehehe, what a pity it's always with girls? If he fell together with another handsome guy, that scene would probably be quite nice."
At that moment, the girl with glasses also spoke up, but no matter how one listened to what she said, it didn't sound good.
What did "two handsome guys falling together" even mean?
"Himena, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"That kind of thing will never happen."
Yui said this in a very firm tone, because such a scene would be too much for the eyes.
The two of them couldn't help but sigh when they saw their friend's determination.
This was already hopeless; she was completely in love.
After Shiro dragged those two away and had a good talk with them, the class bell rang again and he lay down once more.
Until after school, since Shiro didn't have a club, he planned to directly invite Yotsuba, along with Miku and the others who were all members of the go-home club, to go for desserts together. However, he was stopped by Shizuka-kawaii.
Shiro and the girls from the go-home club looked at each other, not knowing what had happened at that moment.
