Chapter 82 What He Loves (First two chapters, then more during the day)
At this moment, on the other side of the student cafeteria.

"Ah, preparing for the sports meeting these days is really tiring—"

At the dining table, Nanami Aoyama, who was sitting opposite Amamiya Iori, sighed and slumped down on the table dejectedly.

A few days ago, before the sports meeting, the whole class was preparing for it.

In addition to preparing some small props, you also need to prepare promotional posters for the venues allocated to each class in the sports meet.

Although painting is mainly the responsibility of art clubs, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the activities, other students must also come to help, so some people will lament that their rest time has been disrupted.

"Iori, I see you always wear that necklace, do you like it that much?"

Nanami Aoyama asked, pointing at the necklace on Amamiya Iori's neck.

Amamiya Iori nodded.

Although it has only been a few days since Shimizu gave her this gift, she has basically never taken off the necklace. She can even be seen touching the necklace with a happy expression from time to time.

"Of course I like it. I still take it off when I take a shower... I always think that it is a gift from my dear, as if I can feel him by my side."

Although Nanami Aoyama had long known that Amemiya Iori had special feelings for Shimizu Mi, she was still a little surprised to hear such words in person.

At this time, a senior student from the third year of high school came towards their table with a tray.

"Amamiya-san, could you spare some time for me?"

"I'm sorry, I don't have that kind of time, please go back."

"Don't say that. You're eating now anyway. Can I sit here?"

"..."

Just by listening to the senior's speech, you can see his purpose.

And judging from his frivolous appearance, it is not difficult to imagine that he would deliberately approach a junior girl.

"Senior, Iori has no interest in you, so please give up."

Although Nanami Aoyama's tone was gentle, she looked at him with a sharp look because she hoped that the senior would at least consider the trouble he had brought to Amamiya Iori.

"you……"

The senior smacked his lips lightly and glared at Aoyama Nanami, but he should have noticed that besides them, there were other students left here, and Amamiya Iori's friends were also present.

They also looked at the senior with condemning eyes. He finally realized that the situation was not good and quickly left.

"The guy just now seemed to be the captain of the senior high school football club, Hayato. Although he is not very good-looking, he has a handsome face. What do you think of him, Iori?" Nanami Aoyama suddenly asked this question for no apparent reason, and Amemiya Iori seemed a little confused.

"Nothing...feeling?"

He looked as if he had no interest in that person at all.

If it was because she had Shimizu in her heart, then her reaction would not be surprising, but Amamiya Iori's reaction seemed to indicate that she had no interest in him as more than just a feeling of the opposite sex, but even in the concept of a human being.

"As expected of you, Iori. You treat all men except Shimizu-san like stones on the roadside."

However, Amamiya Iori stroked the necklace gently, and her face gradually became sad.

"Nanami, what gift do you think I should give him? His birthday is next month."

"Are you talking about the gift for Shimizu-san? I remember that I had already chosen it before?"

Amamiya Iori nodded slightly, his face becoming even more worried: "Well... Actually, I accidentally lost my gift last weekend."

There was a hint of self-blame and regret in Amamiya Iori's voice, and then she told Aoyama Nanami that she had lost the gift she was going to give to Shimizu last weekend.

"It's really lost?! You spent so much time and effort, waited in line for a whole morning, and spent more than 20,000 yen to buy it!"

When Nanami Aoyama heard this, she couldn't help but open her mouth wide, and finally understood why Iori Amamiya was in a low mood.

"I went to look for it later, but it might have been picked up by someone else or washed away by the heavy rain."

Seeing this, Aoyama Nanami quickly comforted him, "Why don't you just buy a new one? Don't worry about the money. I just got some salary from my part-time job recently, so I can lend it to you first."

Amamiya Iori shook her head: "Thank you, Nanami. But that was a limited edition sale last week and it's no longer available."

Qingshan Nanami fell into deep thought. After a moment, he slowly said:
"By the way, does Shimizu-san have anything he particularly likes? We can start with his interests."

"interest?"

"Yes, although Shimizu-san always looks very indifferent and doesn't seem to care about anything, but everyone always has something they like, right?"

Upon hearing this, Amamiya Iori fell into deep thought.

"Dear, things you like..."

Amamiya Iori tried hard to recall every detail about Shimizumi, trying to find out what he might like, but his mind was blank...
