Chapter 275: I will be able to recover before getting married.
"Um... Yamada, anyway, I'm really sorry..."
Although he didn't quite understand why Miss Yamada's tone was so cold, Nakagawa Nobuyuki still apologized sincerely.
After all, no matter how you look at it, it was indeed my fault for not going to Starry, but... then again, it seems like Miss Liang doesn't seem like someone who would get angry about something like this?
"Alright, alright...Ryo, Nakagawa-san must have something important to deal with as well."
As a close friend of Yamada Ryo, Ijichi Kouka could of course see that Yamada Ryo was obviously sulking, so she immediately tried to smooth things over with a smile on her face and made excuses for Nakagawa Nobuyuki.
Miss Yamada is actually quite scary when she gets angry, especially when Miss Liang, who usually looks lazy, suddenly turns cold and stares at others, which is even more creepy.
"That's... that's what I'm saying, Liang-senpai! I was just joking just now..."
Kita Ikuyo was also a little panicked at this moment. She poked her fingers lightly and tried to persuade nervously.
Even though Kita-san was the one who just waved his fist and said, "Be tough on Nakagawa-san!", looking at the unfamiliar Yamada Ryo, he was a little timid... After all, he never expected that the usually unruly Ryo-senpai would suddenly be so angry...
"..."
While everyone else was nervously trying to smooth things over between the two of them, Goto Ichiri, who was walking behind everyone with his shoulders hunched, just scratched his little pink head in a strange manner and blinked with a bit of confusion.
What is there to be angry about? Although it is a pity that Xin didn't come... But, to be angry with Xin because of something like this... isn't that a bit too much?
Thinking of this, Goto Ichiri frowned in confusion.
"…If I have changed anything, I will forgive you if you are right."
Suddenly, Yamada Ryo, who had been silent all this time, finally asked a question in a low voice amid the persuasion of several people and the gentle comfort and apology of Nakagawa Nobuyuki... and it was an extremely strange question.
What has changed?
Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who was still stopped by the red light at the zebra crossing, looked a little unnatural.
What kind of change... What kind of change could there be? Could it be that Miss Liang is actually some kind of fox demon or something like that...
"Um……"
However, at this point, Nakagawa Nobuya had no choice but to carefully examine the face of Miss Liang in front of him...
“…Yamada, you’ve gotten prettier, haven’t you?”
After clearing his throat slightly, Nakagawa Nobuyuki spoke in a serious tone.
As for whether she has become more beautiful or not... Nakagawa Nobuyuki couldn't figure it out, but generally speaking, it's always right to say nice things at times like this.
After all, people in adolescence are always concerned about this aspect. Even Miss Yamada would definitely care about this.
"……besides."
As a result, Miss Yamada just pursed her lips, not admitting it at all, and shook her head gently.
"...Yes, yes, speaking of this, it seems that Ryo-senpai has put on some light makeup today..."
After hearing what Miss Yamada said, Kita Ikuyo seemed to have realized some blind spot. Her eyes suddenly became filled with disbelief, and she muttered to herself softly.
Could it be that……
"I do not have."
Before Kita Ikuyo could continue thinking about it, Yamada Ryo suddenly turned around and denied it calmly.
No, isn't it?
Kita Ikuyo secretly touched the corners of her eyes outlined by eyeliner and the lip gloss that was glowing under the street light, and quietly shrank her neck.
Just, just pretend that it doesn’t exist.
Seeing Kita succumbing to his tyranny with grievance, Yamada Ryocai turned his head as if nothing had happened and spoke softly.
"…other changes."
Nakagawa Nobuyuki's brows twitched, and his expression suddenly became somewhat subtle and indescribable.
So you didn't deny that you looked better...
"Otherwise...can I say something a little more cocky?"
Stroking his chin, Nakagawa Nobuyuki spoke thoughtfully.
From the looks of it right now... Miss Yamada's attitude is more like being unhappy than angry, right?
I have to say something that is funny enough to at least divert Ms. Yamada's attention...
"……What."
Miss Yamada raised her eyebrows slightly and asked softly, seeming to be expecting something.
Seeing that Yamada Ryo agreed, Nakagawa Nobuyuki coughed lightly and spoke solemnly.
"Are you here to see me because you're concerned about my not going to Starry?"
pat.
The zebra crossing light finally flashed green.
"…If Nakagawa thinks so, there's nothing I can do."
"...But let's assume you got 19.66% of your answers right."
Yamada Ryo raised his eyebrows and said lightly...From the current point of view, this should be the longest sentence he has said to Nakagawa Nobuyuki today.
Seeing Yamada Ryo's reaction on the screen, Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who had just stepped onto the zebra crossing, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Since Ms. Yamada can say such words, I guess that means she has forgiven me.
"So where did such precise numbers come from?"
After complaining about Miss Liang with a dark face, Nakagawa Nobuyuki turned his gaze back to the zebra crossing in front of him.
"Let's talk later, Yamada. I'm still crossing the street right now. If I get hit, I can't afford the medical expenses or anything."
As he spoke, Nakagawa Nobuyuki switched the front and rear cameras of his phone to show Miss Yamada what was happening on his side.
After glancing at Nakagawa Nobuyuki who was watching the approaching cars on the screen for a few seconds, Yamada Ryo suddenly muttered:
"…My family runs a hospital. Even if you get hit by a car, you should be able to recover before you get married."
Wha, what?
Everyone who was quietly [eavesdropping] on the conversation suddenly heard Yamada Ryo say something very important without changing his expression. They all widened their eyes and looked at each other.
"How is that possible... How is it possible that if you were hit by a car--wait?"
Nakagawa Nobuyuki frowned slightly and suddenly stopped talking, feeling as if he had heard some strange words.
Did I...hear something about marriage...or something like that?
Both sides of the video call suddenly fell silent.
When Nakagawa Nobuyuki finally walked to this side of the road, Miss Yamada on the opposite side spoke in a matter-of-fact tone.
"…This is a Russian idiom, don't you know? Just teasing you."
Ms. Yamada shrugged her shoulders and returned the phone to Hongxia, seeming to be finally a little closer to normal.
...Even the fact that I like to tell some weird little bits of knowledge is the same.
Of course, this is apart from the fact that she is wearing light makeup.
"No, seriously, why do you know this kind of thing..."

Chapter 276: Love is so strange.
After that, everyone just chatted about some meaningless things. It was really difficult for others to interrupt if Miss Liang and Nakagawa Shinichi started chatting.
The most important thing is that for some things, only these two guys can understand each other's points... Hongxia just started to complain, but Kita Ikuyo and Pochi, who timidly hunched his shoulders, became real sisters in need.
At this moment, Kita Ikuyo hated her super-rich identity for the first time.
Whenever these two guys start talking, they either talk about anime shows that they haven't even heard of, or some weird foreign movies and weird jokes...
No... So why do you start laughing when you hear the jokes about "Grandpa (ジジイ)" and "Babaroa (Bavaria)"? What's the funny part? Is it because my sense of humour is too high?
The somewhat frantic Kita Ikuyo laughed dryly twice along with her beloved senior Ryo. Apart from feeling that it was suddenly a little colder in the middle of summer, she still didn't get the funny point.
After pursing her lips, Kita Ikuyo turned her head and looked at Goto Ichiri who had been silent all the time.
Even I don't understand it, um... I don't think Goto-san can understand it either? After all, Goto-san doesn't seem to be a——
"..."
However, although Goto Ichiri covered his mouth and did not laugh out loud, his slightly curved beautiful eyebrows were enough to speak volumes.
Seeing Kita Ikuyo with a stiff expression looking at him, Goto Ichiri even blinked and looked back curiously, as if that strange person was Kita Ikuyo whose face was like a sculpture made of reinforced concrete.
After staring at each other for a long time, Kita Ikuyo realized that she was the one who was out of place, and she tried hard to force a smile again.
"Uh...hahaha...actually, I did laugh...haha."
...I can't do it! What's so funny about this?
Looking at Kita Ikuyo who was in tears in front of him, Goto Ichiri suddenly realized a problem.
Could it be that... Kita-san has never watched "The Prince of Tennis"?
"…Um, Kita-san…"
Looking around anxiously, Goto Ichiri spoke in a low voice.
Mainly... it always feels weird to talk about this kind of anime I've watched in front of others...
"…Have you ever watched The Prince of Tennis?"
Now that I say this... Kita-san should know, right?
"…Wha—Ouch! The Prince of Tennis—"
Never seen it at all!
No, isn't that something that only men in their 30s or 40s would read...! I wasn't even born when this was serialized...!
However, having said this, Kita Ikuyo, who didn't want to appear to be so unsociable, had no choice but to continue even though the little Kita in her heart was about to bury herself in the ground.
"Of course I've seen it... I really like that... Rukawa Kaede and the Echigo Dragon...!"
I should...I should remember it correctly, right?
“Ryukawa…”
Goto Ichiri on the side even thought for a second, wondering if he had missed something... However, he reacted the next moment.
Haha, I’m done for now.
...How should I respond to Kita-san's words now?
Should I now shake my hair, raise the corners of my mouth, and tell Kita loudly: [Hey kid, Rukawa Kaede is a character in Slam Dunk, I say - you are still far from it! ]
And the Dragon of Echigo! He must have fallen asleep during history class to attribute Uesugi Kenshin to Echizen Ryoma!
Therefore, Goto Ichiri, who suddenly froze, wisely chose to shut his mouth and complained wildly in his heart.
I don't know whether I should say fortunately or something else, but just before Kita-san was about to explode with embarrassment in her heart, she finally found something to change the subject.
"Well, see you tomorrow, Nakagawa-san!"
Not far away, Ichichi Hongxia waved at the phone screen with a smile, then turned the camera to Miss Liang who was coolly crossing her arms.
"See you tomorrow."
Miss Liang turned her eyes away, probably trying to pretend that she didn't care.
But... Nakagawa Nobuyuki knew that if he really didn't go tomorrow... Miss Liang would probably be much harder to please...
Especially since Miss Liang usually says what she thinks, but today she becomes roundabout... If I hadn't just asked Miss Liang if she cared about the fact that I didn't go, I guess Miss Liang would definitely not say it.
But speaking of this, Nakagawa Nobuyuki suddenly remembered something more important.
"By the way, where's Ichiri? I haven't seen him much recently."
