Volume 3: Let’s Make a Clan!

Chapter 21: A Shon Between Men

This Itou Yoshi+zuon’s Krone Being froar who tries to avoid other people knows about hi quite the「Carefree[2]」type of guy

Good at Sports, A Smooth-talker, Life of the Party

He belonged to the upper caste of the school’s hierarchy, popular airls

Yoshi+ had everything Edgar did not; he was the coar

「Every since then you’ve never talked to me I orried about it you know, Suzu-chan」

Making it seem like an overreaction, Yoshi+ raised his shoulers as he looked at Suzu with a wry smile

What the hell’s he mean by “Suzu-chan”

Don’t get overly friendly

「Ah, did you perhaps take that whole『Let’sseriously? Ha ha ha, that was just a joke, a joke Suzu-chan is so cute so I just wanted to tease you a bit」

「For being just a joke, it sure doesn’t seeh?」

「…… Hmm?」

As Yoshi+ let out a carefree laugh, Edgar stepped forward and obstructed his view

It seear was there in the first place, having a guy randomly show up beside Suzu and block his way, Yoshi+ wore a quizzical expression

「Huh, and you are?」

「I am Suzu-san’s friend」

「…… “Friend”?」

Hearing those words, Yoshi+ glanced over at Edgar and ran his gaze over hi him up

And Edgar did the sahly scrutinized Yoshi+’s appearance

If I were to guess fro that Yoshi+ started playing Dragon’s Krone much earlier than Suzu-san and the others It wouldn’t be strange to see players on his leveltheir debut at the Metropolis City of Vernewt in the Veroon Grand Duchy Area

In spite of that, he is here in the beginning town of Crescendo for some reason

Is the reason why, because of Suzu-san?

「”Edgar-kun”?…… Never heard of ya~ You say you’re Suzu-chan’s friend, but does that mean friend in real life?」

「That’s right」

「Are you classmates? I’ve never even seen you before」

Placing his hand on his chin, Yoshi+ dug through his memory

Whether it be his own class, or the students in the classes around his, Yoshi+ pretty much knew everyone But for soar’s face before

Not re the loner student from the class next door, it was obviously he wouldn’t know

「Well, whatevs And so, you have some business with me?」

「No, nothing in particular However, I’et a job done with Suzu-san you see So…… We don’t have the ti around」

「…… H」

Perhaps he couldn’t accept the thought of Suzu being together with son of annoyance showed in Yoshi+’s expression

Sensing his change in attitude, Suzu tightly gripped Edgar’s clothes as she stood paralyzed

「Sorry but could you please back off? You’re scaring Suzu-san」

「Huh, scaring her? What’s the matter, Suzu-chan?」

Hearing that Yoshi+ looked over the Suzu as hiding herself behind Edgar

Is he acting like this on purpose, or is he just an airhead

Either way, he’s a really stubborn guy From Suzu’s standpoint, the situation hadn’t escalated so far that they had to report it to the adly tell him to step off

Hearing Yoshi+’s verbal advances, Edgar was slowly getting more and more irritated

But surprisingly, the first one to act was not Edgar, it was Suzu

「…… It’s because Yoshi+-kun keeps trying make advances on me like this」

「Eh?」

Gathering her resolve, her eyes peered out from the shadow of her hood, and Suzu boldly fired back at Yoshi+

A si had happened before Just like when she told off those colluding players froh she is normally quiet, Suzu will say what she has to when the tiht This was an unexpected side of hers

「I know that Yoshi+-kun is fro these things because we know each other, but……I’」

「What do you mean by “it”? You mean when I invited you to make a clan?」

「Yes I won’t make a clan with Yoshi+-kun, and I never will」

「Hmm? Why is that?」

「It’s because I’ar-kun」

「……W-What did you say!?」

The carefree expression on Yoshi+’s face draed, as if he had become a completely different person

And, for soar’s expression was also frozen stiff after hearing that

Suzu-san, don’t you think you should’ve worded that more carefully

You ht?

If you say it like that, I think Yoshi+ will likely get the wrong idea

「……What is theto uy?」

「You heard me, Yoshi+-kun It’s exactly what you think it is」

「……W-Wait a sec, Suzu-san!?」

As Suzu firmly exclaimed such an inconceivable idea, the one as thrown into discord was Edgar

By “it’s exactly what you think”, what is that suppose to mean, Suzu-san?

You should tell ME of all people first

「ha, haha, you ignored allto uy?」

「That’s exactly right」

「ッ!!」

As if he had taken a 「Critical Hit」, Yoshi+ was taken aback as his face looked towards the sky Hearing Suzu’s words caused his body to stagger, and he could only e to keep a forced smile on his face

At school he was outgoing and popular, for Yoshi+ who had a playboy attitude, those words brought an unthinkable amount of humiliation upon him

Suzu-chan didn’t choose me, but for who knohat reason she chose this uy instead──

「…… Unbelievable…… Suzu-chan, There’s no way I can accept this Absolutely not!」

「Eeh?」
