章 92: From hydraulic press to growing vegetables
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 unexpectedly, everything was smoother than he had imagined, and when he thought many troubles might come, 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 unexpected moments. This was also the reason why he had always been careful.
Yet, he had to be disappointed. No, he had to be glad since nothing really happened, not even yesterday; 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 morning. What did they do? Well, it was obvious, right? Yet, unlike Onodera, who went home and rested at her home, he had a plan and went out again, which made both of his parents stare at him speechlessly.
However, probably because he was a guy, his parents weren't that particularly strict toward him, so they didn't say much, even if he wanted to go out again during the weekends. More importantly, his conduct during the weekdays was clear since he spent his time either studying or working 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 company 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 never thought that he would enter this type of industry in the past, but as this was a family business, naturally, he would help. Still, compared 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 need to help his family again since, if possible, he wanted to expand his family toy company like a certain famous toy company that made a crazy IPO in his previous life.
'Pop Mart...'
When he thought about this, he also thought about all the money that he had gained after having his trading account for almost a week, which made him smile subconsciously.
Only when everything was so smooth did trouble always come to him, which made him helpless.
"Ishigami?"
While he wanted to ignore it, pretending that he didn't hear someone call his name, it 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 never thought 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 lazy with her appearance, considering she wore a hoodie and jeans as if she was hiding her beautiful face.
Yet, even if she appeared lazy, her eyes shone brightly as if she had been waiting for a happy moment.
However, during that moment, Hayasaka never thought that she would meet Ishigami, who dressed even more suspiciously than her. Similar to her, he wore a navy blue hoodie but with grey pants and university blue Air Jordan 1 low sneakers that 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 become more handsome after they had parted for a while. The last 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 often met during school, they just greeted each other, without either of them talking to each other.
'19 cm...'
Somehow, whenever they met, Hayasaka's eyes always drew toward that area as that accident was so hard for her to forget, or rather, it was impossible to forget!
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 plants from carrots, cucumbers, radishes, eggplants, or even bitter melons. She knew that if others knew, they would think of her weird, but strangely enough, watching seeds that grew into a large, 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 continue to watch "hydraulic press" videos, which was far healthier than watching the growing of giant vegetables.
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...'
When she thought that Ishigami had made a girlfriend, she wanted to smash his skull with a "hydraulic press," considering what he had done to Kaguya.
If you like someone, you shouldn't give up, right?
So even if the other had someone they 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 laughter 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, unexpectedly, Ishigami decided to end their relationship, returned to the previous stiff relationship, then made a fucking girlfriend!
She was so angry at that time and wanted to send this bastard to plant vegetables in a certain country!
Yet, it wasn't like Hayasaka didn't understand Ishigami since she knew well that he must understand 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 since there was something that attracted her most.
"...are you going on a trip?"
Watching him holding a large duffle bag on his side, Hayasaka could tell that Ishigami planned to go on a trip.
If so, where?
No, who would he go on a trip with?
The answer is obvious: his girlfriend.
When she thought about this, she became even more gloomy, thinking that this guy was really a bastard!
Yet, inwardly, she was also amazed since it 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 needed to clear up the doubt in her mind.
Ishigami somehow also understood how difficult his situation was, but when he thought to answer Hayasaka's question—
"Yuu, did you wait?"
Kobachi came.

Let's give it a try, then, but as usual, I will only update one chapter when the event is over.
Still, what rank should I give a bonus chapter, and how many bonus chapters should I give?
By the way, this is a romance novel, even if his relationship is quite messy.
