Very embarrassing!
"Sorry, let's pretend you haven't heard what you just said."
Ryuji thought it must be because he wasn't adjusting to the new environment, and his brain had a bit of spasm.
Yukinoshita shook her head and said, "This isn't a secret. I come from the same elementary school as him, and our family members also know each other. Her father is my company's legal adviser."
"Why do you ask this?" Yukinoshita asked.
"It's just that you two seem to know each other. I just wanted to know." Ryuji felt a little guilty. If he said he cared, he would definitely be laughed at by this person.
"Are you discussing the matter of elementary school students?" Ryuji asked.
"If there had been a result, I wouldn't be here," Yukinoshita said lightly.
The two fell silent again, maybe this was their way of communicating.
"Then I'll go first, good night." Yukinoshita said.
"Um, good night." Ryuuji nodded.
Yukinoshita was back, but Ryuji didn't want to rest too soon, so he was still wandering through the forest.
While crossing the river, he met an unexpected person.
"Staying outside at that late hour is very dangerous for elementary students," Ryuji told Rumi.
Rumi crouched on the ground, her reflection reflected in the river.
"Don't compare me to a naive elementary school student," Rumi retorted.
Ryuji smiled. "But actually you're an elementary school student, whether it's body or mind."
If the heart is truly mature enough to disdain being with elementary school students, right now one would not hide alone and show a pained expression.
Rumi was a little disappointed, Ryuji was right, she wasn't as strong as Yukinoshita, and she still missed her friends deep inside.
"Ryuji, do you have any friends?" Rumi asked.
The corner of Ryuji's mouth twitched, and he flicked Rumi's small head.
"It hurts so much, what are you doing!" Rumi pouts, and she looks really cute when she's angry.
"You should use honorifics for adults. No matter how bad it is, it has to be Onii-chan, Onii-san or something like that," Ryuji said lightly.
"…You're not a pedophile, right?" Rumi gave him a disgusted look.
"How could it be?" Ryuji said disdainfully. A mere pedophile, that was looking down on him too much!
"You have not answered my question."
Did she even save his name this time?
Ryuji shook his head, he wasn't going to argue with an elementary schooler about this.
"Friends, how many do you have?" Ryuji thought for a moment and said.
"Do you have any friends?" Rumi looked slightly disappointed.
"What does 'you have friends' mean? Do I look like a lonely man?" A black line appeared on Ryuji's forehead.
Although he had few friends, it was not without them.
"The current situation is probably what I deserve," Rumi said as she rested her head on her knee.
"I've excluded people a few times before, but then I talk to them right away. As a result, I don't know when that excluded person became me."
"It's really a touching story," Ryuji said dispassionately.
"So you want to go and beg their forgiveness, and sell your pride for a fake friendship?" Ryuji sneered.
Rumi didn't say a word, not that she didn't think about these things.
"If you want fake friendship, I can help you." Ryuji showed an evil smile.
Just give some elementary school students a simple hypnotic Magecraft, but this kind of Magecraft can't be effective all the time, like Cinderella's magic, it will disappear at midnight, and at that time, what will Rumi do?
Rumi didn't seem to doubt Ryuji's speech, and even thought about it seriously for a while, and finally said: "Forget it, even if I get things wrong, I will lose it in the end."
"Really." Ryuji glanced at her, "It's fine."
He had to say that Rumi was indeed more mature than the average elementary school student.
"I'm going back to sleep, good night." Ryuji waved his hand and left.
Rumi hesitated to speak, "Are we... friends?"
Ryuji stopped in his tracks "That's what you said."
Rumi shows a smile. "Thank You."
.....
The next day, at breakfast, everyone was still discussing how to help Rumi integrate into the group.
"How about we discuss it with the girls in the group and let them accept it?" Miura suggested.
Since Rumi is a beautiful girl, she is popular wherever she is.
"That really is shallow talk," Yukinoshita said.
"What did you say!" Miura was angry, she was still thinking about what Yukinoshita had told her until she cried yesterday!
