Entering the complex building next to the school building, there are already several students walking in the corridor on the third floor of the complex building.

Judging from the big bags they were holding, they were probably club members who went shopping outside the school on weekends.

It's just that when these students saw Kiritani Tetsuya coming over, they would unconsciously turn their eyes towards him, just like the scene when they passed by the school gate in the early morning.

Especially some girls who seemed to like gossiping. When they saw Kiritani Tetsuya and Ibuki Tamao walking together at a very close distance, they all looked at Kiritani Tetsuya like a scumbag.

Kiritani Tetsuya was confused by this curious look with a hint of disgust, and he couldn't help but carefully recall whether he had done anything embarrassing in the past few days.

But until he walked into the activity room of the Art Department, he didn't think of anything particularly eye-catching he had done recently, so he had to put this matter aside for the time being.

After placing the purchased painting supplies on the wooden table next to the door, it didn't take long for Kiritani Tetsu to lock the door of the activity classroom again, and returned to the classroom of Class 1 and Class 3 with Ibuki Tamao.

When I walked back to the teaching building again, it was already the peak time for Akiba High School students to enter the school, and the originally empty corridor began to become slightly crowded.

Kiritani Tetsuya and the two quickly merged into the flow of people heading to the classroom. As soon as they stepped into the classroom door, they saw a strong figure rushing towards them and pulled him to the toilet at the end of the corridor.

Kiritani Tetsuya took a closer look and found that the figure turned out to be Ryota Takehara.

After taking Kiritani Tetsuya to a place with fewer students near the toilet, Takehara Ryota stopped and turned to seriously look at Kiritani Tetsuya who had just been brought here.

"Zheye, where have you been these past few days?"

After meeting one weekend, Takehara Ryota asked Kiritani Tetsuya as soon as he opened his mouth.

"I went out on Saturday to buy some painting tools for the art department, and then stayed at home all day on Sunday. What happened?"

Although he was a little confused by Takehara Ryota's sudden question, Kiritani Tetsuya still answered honestly.

"Saturday? Have you ever been to Little Bear Shopping Street?"

Takehara Ryota did not answer Kiritani Tetsuya's question, but continued to ask.

"How do you know I've been there?"

"Hey, it was you who appeared there with Utsunomiya Miu that day."

"Have you met me?"

Kiritani Tetsuya asked in a surprised tone.

"Ling-chan and I also went to the Little Bear Shopping Street that day, and then we accidentally saw you and Utsunomiya Miu staying together."

Takehara Ryota nodded and said.

"What did you see?"

"I just saw you giving an interview on the street. Wait, did you do anything else shameful?"

"No, I just happened to meet him when we were shopping, and then we left together."

Kiritani Tetsuya shrugged calmly.

"But the picture I saw looked like a couple in love."

Takehara Ryota looked at the other party suspiciously.

"That was the request made by the light novel writer. I think you misunderstood."

Kiritani Tetsuya said while holding his forehead.

"What, so you're really not in a relationship?"

"How is that possible? Do you think Utsunomiya-san is a target? I can't find anyone to fall in love with. You think so, Ryota?"

"Then I'm relieved, but Tetsuya, have you read the recent posts on the school forum? There have been a lot of posts about you and Utsunomiya Miu being together recently."

"No, I never visit the school forum."

Kiritani Tetsuya said casually.

"Then I'll look for it for you."

Saying that, Ryota Takehara took out his phone and started swiping it. After a few seconds, he put the screen of the phone directly in front of Tetsuya Kiritani.

"Look, these are all posts about you."

Kiritani Tetsuya took a closer look and found that indeed, as Takehara Ryota said, the forum interface was full of discussions and speculations about him and Utsunomiya Miu's weekend outing, and almost every discussion post was accompanied by a two-part photo.

Photographs of people being secretly photographed during interviews.

It's just that the photos attached to each post are exactly the same, and I don't know who was the first to provide this photo.

And slowly scrolling down the interface, you can see that the posts posted by these netizens are more outrageous than the last.

Some say that he likes Utsunomiya Miu, others say that Utsunomiya Miu likes him, and some even say that he and Utsunomiya Miu are long-lost brother and sister.

It’s really just a picture at the beginning, and the content is all edited.

Pulling to the back, even the name Ibuki Tamao was mixed in.

Some said that he dated Ibuki Tamao and Utsunomiya Miu at the same time, some said that he secretly dated Ibuki Tamao and Utsunomiya Miu without telling them, and some even said that he and Utsunomiya Miu dated on the street just to complete Ibuki.

The task given by Yuxu.

"What's all this, why is even Ibuki-san involved?"

Kiritani Tetsuya looked at the "brainstorming" of major netizens on the forum and couldn't help but frown.

"Tetsuya, don't you know that before this incident came out, everyone in the class thought that you and Ibuki-san were secretly dating?"

Takehara Ryota gave Kiritani Tetsuya a strange look, as if he was wondering about the other party's knowing question.

"Why?"

"You see, since you dumped Mayuri last week, you and Ibuki-san have come to the classroom together many times, went to clubs together, and sometimes even had meals together. Isn't this obvious enough?"

"Ahem, I came to the classroom with her just because we happened to meet downstairs." Kiritani Tetsuya defended casually.

"Really, but why did Ibuki-san pretend not to see me when I met her before?"

"It...it seems that the time for the morning class meeting is coming soon. Let's go back to the classroom quickly, Ryota."

Kiritani Tetsuya hesitated for a long time, then changed the topic.

"Wait a minute Tetsuya, you haven't answered my question yet."

Seeing Tetsuya jogging back to the classroom, Takehara Ryota hurriedly chased after him.

When the two returned to the classroom of Grade 1 and Grade 3, the head teacher just walked in from the front door of the classroom and started today's class meeting after saying a few words.

The content of today's morning class meeting is actually almost the same as usual. It starts with a simple summary of how the overall performance of the class last week was pretty good and how we will continue to work hard this week. Then we talk about what the class will do in the new week.

Work and stuff.

The only difference is that this time the teacher specifically asked everyone to review carefully and prepare carefully for the final exam in half a month as the final exam of the first semester is approaching.

Of course, Kiritani Tetsuya was in a state of desertion during the entire class meeting. Ever since he was dragged out by Takehara Ryota for a conversation, his mind was filled with thoughts about the public opinion between himself and Utsunomiya Miu that spread in the school.

Thinking about it this way, he finally understood why he received so many students' attention when he came to school this morning.

"I don't know if Utsunomiya Miu knows about this?"

While thinking, Kiritani Tetsuya could not help but have this question pop up in his mind.

He himself didn't care much about the topic that was making a fuss in the school now. After all, his reputation among the girls at Akiba High School had never been very good.
