His week had been quite busy, whether it was studying or spending time with his women.

  In the beginning, he thought that he might be overwhelmed, especially when he had four instead of one girlfriend, yet uedly, everything was smoother than he had imagined, and whehought many troubles might e, the weekend came, and it was a time for him to go on a trip with Kobachi.

  Yet, this also made him uneasy since everything was just so smooth.

  'What's wrong with me?'

  Ishigami felt like he had this paranoia, and he expected trouble every time, especially during critical and ued moments. This was also the reason why he had always been careful.

  Yet, he had to be disappointed. No, he had to be gd sihing really happened, not eveerday; he just went out with Onodera.

  Yes, while it might be strange, he stayed out with Onodera and even stayed out, only returning home in the m. What did they do? Well, it was obvious, right? Yet, unlike Onodera, who went home aed at her home, he had a pn a out again, which made both of his parents stare at him speechlessly.

  However, probably because he was a guy, his parents weren't that particurly strict toward him, so they didn't say much, even if he wao go out again during the weekends. More importantly, his duct during the weekdays was clear since he spent his time either studying or w out; they let him do whatever he wanted during the weekends.

  At the same time, his father and older brother also expected him to have a good design for the new product of their pany as they knew he had a talent in this area, which made him speechless.

  Yet, he didn't really mind since if his family grew bigger, it was also the best for him.

  'But toy, huh?'

  Ishigami had hought that he would ehis type of industry in the past, but as this was a family business, naturally, he would help. Still, pared to the game industry, he had to say that the toy industry was more stable, but naturally, it made less money.

  'If this project is successful...'

  If this project was successful, then Ishigami thought that he might o help his family again since, if possible, he wao expand his family toy pany like a certain famous toy pany that made a crazy IPO in his previous life.

  'Pop Mart...'

  Whehought about this, he also thought about all the mohat he had gained after having his trading at for almost a week, which made him smile subsciously.

  Only whehing was so smooth did trouble always e to him, which made him helpless.

  "Ishigami?"

  While he wao ig, pretending that he didn't hear someone call his was impossible to do so, especially when the person who had called his name was right in front of him, moving closer and even looking up and down toward him, which made him speechless.

  Yet, he had hought that among all the people that he would meet in this city, he would meet this person.

  "Hayasaka-senpai..."

  Unlike her usual cute and gaudy get-up at school, she appeared less feminine or probably even zy with her appearance, sidering she wore a hoodie and jeans as if she was hiding her beautiful fabsp;

  Yet, even if she appeared zy, her eyes shone brightly as if she had been waiting for a happy moment.

  However, during that moment, Hayasaka hought that she would meet Ishigami, who dressed even more suspiciously than her. Simir to her, he wore a navy blue hoodie but with grey pants and uy blue Air Jordan 1 low shat attracted the attention of many. Well, he dressed okay, but he wore a cap and also a facemask as if a famous actor was trying to hide his identity.

  Or a famous public figure who hid his identity to go out with his secret lover.

  Either way, this was the feeling she got when she discovered him for the first time, and even with such clothes, she could see that many were staring at him, showing his obvious charm.

  Still, she had to say this guy had beore handsome after they had parted for a while. The st time they met each other, eye to eye, was in that room when Kaguya touched his 19 cm carrot for the first time, and by then, while they ofte during school, they just greeted each other, without either of them talking to each other.

  '19 cm...'

  Somehow, whehey met, Hayasaka's eyes always drew toward that area as that act was so hard for her tet, or rather, it was impossible tet!

  That huge carrot still haunts her even now!

  Usually, after she finished her work, she would watch "hydraulic press" videos on YouTube, but now, she watched people grow pnts from carrots, cucumbers, radishes, eggpnts, or even bitter melons. She khat if others khey would think of her weird, but strangely enough, watg seeds that grew inte, elongated object strangely calmed her down.

  Moreover, there was this strange feeling that grew within her every time she saw those types of vegetables!

  'It was all his fault!'

  Yeah, if it wasn't because of Ishigami, then she would just tio watch "hydraulic press" videos, which was far healthier than watg the growing of giaables.

  So, because of that, she had been trying to avoid him, but even so, she knew mostly about him, including the fact that he had a girlfriend.

  'Girlfriend...'

  Whehought that Ishigami had made a girlfriend, she wao smash his skull with a "hydraulic press," sidering what he had doo Kaguya.

  If you like someone, you shouldn't give up, right?

  So even if the other had someohey like, you should go for that person!

  Unlike when Kaguya was with Shirogane, Hayasaka liked to see when Kaguya was with Ishigami. At that time, she felt that Kaguya was so vibrant and full of ughter that everything made her happy. While it was true that she had a secret that she had to hide no matter what, she felt like... she was saved if she could see her mistress was happy.

  Yet, uedly, Ishigami decided to end their retionship, returo the previous stiff retionship, then made a fug girlfriend!

  She was so angry at that time and wao send this bastard to pables in a certain try!

  Yet, it wasn't like Hayasaka didn't uand Ishigami since she knew well that he must uand that Shirogane was in love with Kaguya, and how could he even do something to the crush of someone who had saved him?

  Still, she was going to leave that problem aside sihere was something that attracted her most.

  "...are you going on a trip?"

  Watg him holding a rge duffle bag on his side, Hayasaka could tell that Ishigami po go on a trip.

  If so, where?

  No, who would he go on a trip with?

  The answer is obvious: his girlfriend.

  Whehought about this, she became even mloomy, thinking that this guy was really a bastard!

  Yet, inwardly, she was also amazed si hadn't been so long since he had made a girlfriend that he could go on a trip with her, and when the night came—

  Ah, she didn't dare to think about it anymore!

  Yet, there was no doubt she o clear up the doubt in her mind.

  Ishigami somehow also uood how difficult his situation was, but whehought to answer Hayasaka's question—

  "Yuu, did you wait?"

  Kobachi came.
