I have too many anime girlfriends!

Before we knew it, night had fallen.

The elementary school students, who had played all day, were still full of energy, as if they had inexhaustible strength, chattering away non-stop.

"That cave is huge! Is there treasure inside?"

"How could there be? I think there should be monsters inside!"

"Pfft, Ishida, that's ridiculous! There's no way there could be a monster!"

"Exactly, Ishida, are you even conscious?"

"I'm serious, I saw a dark shadow flash by!"

"Ishida, you're such a coward. Are you hallucinating or something?" Tobe couldn't help but mock Ishida Shoya.

Ishida Shoya immediately looked aggrieved and couldn't help but retort, "I'm not a coward! Since you're so amazing, Hobe, do you dare to explore the cave with me tomorrow?"

"Fine, I'll go! Who's afraid of who? I'm a real man!"

As the Minister of Revenue spoke, his legs trembled slightly.

Hayato Hayama quickly intervened, "Alright, alright, everyone, let's not fight. It's best not to act alone; if Haruno and the others find out, we'll get scolded!"

Hayama did not approve of exploring the cave.

"What's wrong, Hayama-kun? You're not scared, are you? It's just a quick look, what could possibly happen?"

Yamato couldn't help but tease Hayama, because he felt that Hayama overthought things and had no sense of adventure at all.

Having run out of options, Ye Shan could only say, "Of course I'm not afraid, but if I act without authorization..."

"If you're not afraid, then go together. Consider it a test between our friends. Whoever doesn't go is a coward and will never be allowed to play with him again."

Having said that, Hayato Hayama got angry and immediately agreed to the brat's plan to explore the cave.

"Since we've decided to go, should we invite Kaminaga-kun along?" Ishida Shoya asked hesitantly.

In his heart, he still admired Shinji Kaminari.

After all, when he was being bullied by Shimada Kazuki and Hirose, it was Shinji Kaminaga who stood up for him and helped him out of his predicament. As a result, he got rid of his prejudice and began to see things from a different perspective.

Upon hearing this, Hobu immediately curled his lip in a sour tone and said, "Why call him? Kaminaga only knows how to hang out with girls; he's not one of our companions at all!"

"Exactly! And he loves cooking so much, he's not like a boy at all! He definitely won't go, we'll go by ourselves, find the treasure, and make him envious!"

Yamato echoed the Ministry of Revenue's words, tacitly excluding Shinji Kaminari.

Ishida Shoya opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing more.

The two friends had such a big problem with Shinji Kaminaga, and he was considered an outsider for speaking up for Shinji Kaminaga.

So, after breakfast the next day, the elementary school students formed a team and ran to a cave behind the shrine to begin what they called a "test of courage".

Oh, and there's another goal, which is to find treasure or something.

Shinji Kaminaga was thus excluded by several boys.

However, Shinji Kaminaga didn't care what the little brats thought. With no one bothering him, he continued to enjoy the sunshine while watching Naoka Ueno and the others playing in the stream.

Of course, he wasn't just sunbathing; he was also quietly protecting them.

His intuition told him that Hiroshi Fujiwara was not the only demon who had come to investigate.

Over there, Nishimiya Shoko and Sahara Miyoko were playing with Nishimiya Yuzuru. The girls' clear and melodious voices filled the air, giving one a warm and peaceful feeling.

This is the beautiful thing that Shinji Kaminaga wants to protect—the smiles of girls!

"Kid, you're just sitting here sunbathing again, you're not lively at all."

While basking in the sun, I heard Hiratsuka Shizuka's somewhat disdainful voice.

"I'm sunbathing to replenish my energy, but you, Hiratsuka-sensei, aren't you going out to play with Haruno-nee? Why are you here disturbing my relaxation?"

"Lie down? You brat, you're so young and you're already thinking about slacking off?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka's lips twitched. I'm an adult and I haven't even settled down yet. Being a teacher not only means preparing lessons every day and paying attention to problem students, but also facing pressure from my parents to get married after get off work.

She has a ton of worries, but she just wants to lie down and relax.

"What do you mean by being lazy? I call this enjoying life. My dream is to be a stay-at-home dad, cooking every day, raising cats, sunbathing, and living a carefree retirement."

Shinji Kaminaga spoke in a very serious tone, which greatly impressed Shizura Hiratsuka.

She couldn't help but reach out and press his head down, giving it a couple of hard rubs. "You little brat, you haven't even started working yet and you're already thinking about retirement."

"You call yourself a stay-at-home dad? You stay home all day raising cats and dogs, where do you get the money? Aren't you afraid of starving to death?"

"No problem, my girlfriend can support me."

"Huh? You want your girlfriend to support you? You...you kid, your dream is to be a kept man?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka was completely speechless.

"No, actually I can live off someone else or someone else, it's just that living off someone else is more comfortable. I just don't want to work hard anymore. So, Hiratsuka-sensei, are you interested in being my girlfriend?"

As Shinji Kaminaga spoke, he looked at the beautiful woman in front of him with an expectant gaze, sizing her up and down. She was fair-skinned, beautiful, and had a great figure.

"You wish! You brat, you actually think you can live off me? How dare you even say that! Besides, didn't you say I'm an old cow eating young grass? How dare you ask me such a question!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't take his words to heart. She just ruffled his hair vigorously, just like Haruno, turning his messy hair into a tangled mess.

"Let's keep things separate. Although Hiratsuka-sensei might be considered an older man dating a younger woman, well, you're so beautiful, I'll reluctantly let you keep her."

Shinji Kaminaga spoke with righteous indignation, causing Shizuka Hiratsuka's forehead veins to bulge.

"I'm not talking to you anymore! You brat, all you do is say infuriating things. I'd never be interested in someone like you. You think you can just live off me? It's daytime, not a time for daydreaming!"

She only came to chat with him because she saw that he was always alone and didn't talk to other boys, and she was afraid he would be lonely. But this little brat said he wanted to live off her. He's such a precocious child.

She shouldn't have come to worry about him.

Watching Hiratsuka Shizuka leave in a huff, Shinji Kaminaga smiled slightly and continued to enjoy basking in the sun.

At that moment, Yukino Yukinoshita, wearing a sun hat and a white dress, walked over.

She looked at him strangely. "Kamiyoshi, were you serious when you said you wanted to be a stay-at-home dad and have your girlfriend support you?"

Upon hearing this, Shinji Kaminaga stared wide-eyed at the adorable little girl. "Oh, Yukinoshita, you were eavesdropping on me, Hiratsuka-sensei!"

Yukino Yukinoshita pouted in disdain. "I was just taking shelter from the shade behind the tree, I wasn't eavesdropping on purpose! And don't change the subject, answer my question!"

Shinji Kaminaga shrugged. "You heard it all, so of course it's true. My dream is to be a carefree man!"

"You must be dreaming. How can you live a leisurely life forever? Besides, don't you think that being so carefree is unfair to your future girlfriend?"

"Is there?"

"What do you mean, 'not'? You're relaxing at home while your girlfriend works outside to support you. That's outrageous!"

"Uh... so Yukinoshita, you don't approve of my idea of ​​being a stay-at-home husband?"

"It's not that I don't approve, after all, you're a pretty good cook. It's just that your lack of ambition is wrong. If you continue like this, your future girlfriend will definitely be angry!"

Upon hearing this, Shinji Kaminaga looked at her in surprise.

"You're not my girlfriend, how would you know she'd be angry later?"

Yukino Yukinoshita trembled slightly, but didn't say anything more.

The small hand that reached to his waist skillfully pinched and twisted.

"Hiss~"

Seeing his pained expression, Yukino Yukinoshita rolled her eyes at him, called him a "big idiot," and ran away.

Shinji Kaminaga watched her retreating figure, looking somewhat flustered, and a pleased smile crept onto his lips.

So, here's the question.

If he doesn't want to confess, how can I get Yukino Yukinoshita to confess first?

This is a really troublesome problem.

After all, in matters of the heart, whoever confesses first is the one who loses.

It was afternoon.

After finishing cooking, Ishida Shoya and the other kids, including Hayama, did not show up.

Yukinoshita Haruno and Hirazuka Shizuka frowned and began to ask about the whereabouts of the little brats.
