She asked the male clerk, "Uncle, how much is the expedited repair price? Can you tell me?"
Seeing that several people across from him had already expressed their opinions, the male clerk could only hesitantly say, "If you want expedited service, you can probably get it tomorrow afternoon, but you'll need to pay an extra labor fee."
"About how many are needed?"
"Three thousand."
"Then I'll take care of it," Kushida Kikyo immediately replied, "After all, Sakura-san's camera breaking down has something to do with me as well."
"That's not a good idea. I... can pay for it myself." Sakura Airi seemed a little uncomfortable with Kushida's initiative.
"It's ok."
At Kushida's insistence, the expedited order for the camera was quickly completed. After placing the camera here, the four people walked out of the electronics store.
The male clerk was holding the pink camera in his hand, with a fanatical glint in his eyes.
"Shizuku-chan...I will definitely prove to you my...my love!"
Chapter 82: Copying Answers and Talking Therapy
After solving the problem with the camera, the four of them walked out of the electronics store together.
"Sakura, now that the camera problem has been solved, can we talk about yesterday's problem?" Kushida's attention has always been on this, which is the main purpose of her coming here today.
"this..."
Although she agreed to go out with Kushida today, for some reason, Sakura Airi could sense an inexplicable attitude from the short-haired girl, which even made her feel a little dangerous.
"Hey, Kushida-san, can you please stop being so impatient?"
Looking at Sakura Airi's hesitant expression, Hashima Mitsuru understood that this girl was not only shy but also a little timid. Even if she had really witnessed a violent incident, it would not be easy to get her to agree to testify.
"Yeah, let Sakura-san think about it first."
As an expert at observing people's expressions, Ichinose Honami noticed from the very beginning that Sakura might not be very good at socializing.
"Well, alright then. If you've made up your mind, Sakura-san, remember to tell me right away."
After hearing that the two people suddenly united as one, Kikyo Kushida immediately changed her words.
"Um..."
Sakura Airi nodded slightly, but her eyes unconsciously looked at the only boy present, Hashima Hikaru.
"Um, thank you for what happened just now, Hashima-san. I'm a little..." She felt that she should still say thank you to the other party. After all, when facing the terrifying look of the clerk, she was really choked and speechless.
"It's okay. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. If you encounter difficulties, you can just rely on your friends around you."
A smile appeared on the boy's face. He pointed to Kushida Kikyo and Ichinose Honami beside him and said slowly: "If Sakura-san has any problems, Kushida-san and Ichinose-san will help you. You can trust them."
"Yes, we all want to be Sakura-san's backers." Uniting classmates is Ichinose Honami's forte, so she quickly understood what Hashima Hikaru meant and quickly said, "It doesn't matter if we're not in the same class. If Sakura-san is in trouble, I will definitely lend a hand."
"Me too, me too." Kushida also said.
"Thank you...you guys."
Although she was very grateful, Sakura Airi herself was unable to express her feelings frankly. In this situation, apart from saying thank you, she could not respond to any other promises or statements.
"And me, if Sakura-san has any questions you want to ask me, I'll make sure I tell you everything I know."
After confirming the analysis of [Sakura Airi Stock], Hashima Hikaru immediately began to test his operational ideas.
Since this girl is so shy, you have to control yourself well, otherwise it will be troublesome if she is disgusted.
So from the beginning, the boy's expression and eyes were very gentle, and he didn't want to show an eager attitude to get close to others.
"Ah."
Sakura Airi looked at Hashima Hikaru's face, and when their eyes met, she felt the calmness she had felt before again.
Sure enough, when this classmate Hashima treated himself, he did not have any strange thoughts in his mind that other boys would have.
Sakura Airi repeatedly confirmed her feelings in her mind and found that it was not false, but real. This was the first time since she entered this school.
Facing the boy's gaze, for the first time, she did not feel afraid or have any thoughts of running away.
Just as the four of them were walking out of the Keyaki Shopping Center, several girls appeared in front of the street, who seemed to be Ando Sayo and Himeno.
Naturally, they saw a group of people on the street, so they quickly waved over here, as if they wanted to come over and say hello.
Hashima Hikaru noticed the paleness in Sakura Airi's pretty face beside him, and immediately made a decision: "Since we've met someone we know, Ichinose-san and Kushida-san should go and say hello."
"Hashima-san doesn't want to go?" Ichinose Honami was a little confused, since they were obviously classmates.
"Don't forget, we have another companion with us. Do you want to leave Sakura-san here alone?"
Hashima Hikaru smiled and gave his answer. Both girls were smart and naturally understood what he meant. If it was Sakura Airi, she probably would not be willing to come forward and say hello.
"Then let Hashima-san stay here with Sakura-san, we will be back soon." Ichinose Honami glanced at Sakura Airi's head which was lowered again, and nodded.
"Well, let's go over and say hello."
Although she was wearing a mask on her face, Kushida Kikyo's image as a socialite had long been deeply rooted in people's hearts, so it was impossible for her to refuse to say hello. After all, the relationship between girls was very delicate. If the other party had already waved to you but you pretended not to see it, the situation would become very troublesome.
After both of them left, only Hashima Hikaru and Sakura Airi were left here.
"Thank you, Hashima-san..." The red-haired girl's voice was a little weak. She understood the boy's good intentions.
"It's okay. I believe they will explain it to me. We are all acquaintances anyway."
Looking at the relaxed expression on Hashima Hikaru's face and the gentle attitude she had always felt from him, Sakura Airi mustered up the courage and spoke to the boy.
"Hashima-san must have heard about me from Kushida-san, about that witness."
“Indeed, there is.”
Hashima Hikaru recalled the specific information about [Sakura Airi Stock] again. Among them, the things that would lower the stock price would mean forcing her to do something she didn't want to do, or pushing her to the forefront.
Considering the girl's timid and shy nature, it is indeed very difficult to ask her to do such a thing.
"Then, what do you think I should do, Hashima-san?" Sakura Airi looked at the boy's face, wanting to hear his opinion.
"Well..."
Hashima Hikaru carefully considered his words in his mind. After all, Sakura Airi was different from Ichinose Honami and Kushida Kikyo. Both of them were very good at interpersonal communication, so he could be more relaxed in the conversation without worrying that they would interrupt the conversation or refuse to communicate.
But this red-haired girl is completely different. Before establishing a trusting relationship, you must treat her with the gentlest attitude.
"My idea is actually very simple. Sakura-san, just be yourself."
Hashima Hikaru didn't bother to observe Sakura Airi's expression at the moment, but instead focused his gaze on the girls gathered on the roadside ahead, keeping the conversation casual. "Remember what I just said? Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. Even if Sakura-san is truly involved in this matter, it doesn't mean you have to bear the responsibility."
"Because it's not your fault, there's no need to bear the pressure."
"If you have evidence, you can give it to someone else who can handle it," Hashima Hikaru said softly, but his meaning was clear. "If you don't have it, then provide a simple testimony to express your own attitude."
"Before you decide whether or not to take the initiative to help others, no one else can force you to make a decision. I hope Sakura-san can be yourself."
"Be...myself?"
Sakura Airi placed her hands on her chest, pondering the meaning of these words.
"Yes, be yourself. You can decide for yourself what you want to do and what you don't want to do."
Mitsuru Hashima took another look at the system stocks and thought that it would be correct to operate according to this idea.
Sure enough, the next second, the system upgrade sound appeared.
Your words gave Sakura Airi courage and she wanted to help her class. Sakura Airi has become more trusting and caring towards you. Sakura Airi's stock price has risen by 10 points and is currently at 40.
After glancing at the system prompts, Hikari Hashima realized that he was on the right track. If he wanted to establish a trusting relationship with the timid and shy Sakura classmate, he had to proceed slowly, not force her, but guide her to think for herself.
It is best to add some of your own weight in this process so that you can better increase the stock price.
"I've made up my mind. I'll tell Kushida-san about what happened that day." Sakura Airi confirmed her inner thoughts.
"Well, that's good. Sakura-san just needs to confirm her own thoughts. There's no need to put yourself in a difficult position."
After saying this, Mitsuru Hashima thought for a while. His plan yesterday was to collect and organize relevant information after confirming the witnesses, to see if he could come up with some countermeasures for the subsequent review.
But after contacting Sakura Airi and buying her stocks, his thoughts have changed.
The red-haired girl's personality traits are already very clear. If she is given advice and taught how to perform in deliberations, it is possible to lower her stock price.
After all, Hashima Hikaru has not yet established a closer relationship of trust with Sakura, and the girl's abilities and personality are not suitable for expressing herself in front of the scrutiny of teachers and student council members.
It seems that we need to change direction and choose a more suitable person to lead the review.
"What is Hashima-san thinking?"
After seeing the thoughtful expression on the boy's face, Sakura Airi took the initiative to raise her own doubts.
"It's just some simple things, not very important." Hashima Hikaru shook his head slightly and said to Sakura Airi in a gentle voice, "Sakura-san, just remember to start from yourself and don't force yourself."
"If you really encounter something particularly difficult, don't bear the pressure and seek help from others."
Looking at the two girls who had already greeted each other and were walking back, Hashima Hikaru turned to Sakura Airi and said gently, "Everyone is here."
"Ah."
Sakura Airi silently kept Hashima Hikaru's words in mind, but it would not be easy for her to take the first step. The girl herself had little confidence in herself.
"We're back, Hashima-san."
After Ichinose Honami and Kushida-san returned to the two of them, everyone returned to the dormitory together.
Chapter 83 Kushida's Discovery
After entering the dormitory building, Sakura said goodbye to a few people and left alone. Today's social activities had exceeded the girl's tolerance, and she urgently wanted to breathe some alone time.
The remaining three people entered the elevator together. When they reached the third floor, Kushida Kikyo knew that this floor was Hashima Hikaru's room, so she looked at the boy's face and prepared to say goodbye to him.
But what surprised her was that after the elevator door opened, Ichinose Honami actually followed Hashima Hikaru out of the elevator. After saying goodbye to the short-haired girl, the two of them walked side by side towards the aisle next to them.
What's the meaning? ? ?
Before the elevator door closed, Kushida Kikyo's face instantly became a little gloomy. She remembered the scene she had just seen in the fresh food supermarket. The two people picking ingredients together looked like a newlywed couple, intimate and natural.
Doesn’t this guy like me?
After the elevator arrived at the dormitory floor where Kikyo Kushida was, the short-haired girl walked out of the elevator with an expressionless face. She had already decided that she must find another time to meet Hikaru Hashima. If this guy was lying, she would never let him go.
On the other side, after opening the door of their dormitory, Hashima Hikaru and Ichinose Honami walked in.
"As we agreed today, I'll cook." The boy smiled and looked at the pink-haired girl in front of him who reached out to take the apron hanging on the side of the refrigerator.
"Yeah, let me help Hashima-san tie her apron."
Ichinose Honami had a gentle and bright smile on her pretty face. She motioned for Hashima Hikaru to raise his arms, then put the apron on him and tied a knot behind the boy's back with her hands.
"Alright, Contestant Hashima, you may begin cooking now. I will judge and grade your cooking skills strictly and impartially."
Ichinose Honami suddenly lowered his voice, assuming the air of a master, and said solemnly to the young man before him, "I hope you can show me your full strength."
"I won't let the teacher down. Please wait a moment."
Mitsuru Hashima tugged at his apron, his expression extremely solemn. After taking out the ingredients he bought today from the plastic bag, he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to cook.
"Teacher, you can go somewhere else to rest first. I will finish it quickly."
"Let me wait and see, Player Hashima." Ichinose Honami nodded.
After this conversation ended, she finally couldn't help herself and laughed heartily, "I didn't expect Hashima-san to cooperate with me so well. We really have a good understanding."
"It's not the first time. I took some time to watch the food show that Ichinose mentioned before. It's quite interesting."
"Well, please continue. Don't let me down."
Ichinose Honami put her hands behind her back and walked slowly towards the boy's bedroom, with her head held high and her chest puffed out like a lord inspecting his territory.
Such short skits are probably a kind of fun that the two of them find in life. Sometimes, Hikaru Hashima will also play the role of a master chef to test Ichinose's cooking skills.
After the meal, they chatted for a while before Ichinose Honami left.
Just as Hashima Hikaru was tidying up his clothes and preparing to take a shower, he heard someone knocking on the door.
"Did you forget to bring something?"
Hashima Hikaru touched his hair and walked over to open the door.
"Good evening, Hashima-san."
