Chapter 21 Calm, Biqigu Tells (6)

The venue is very large, and in addition to the basic dining tables and podium, there are some tables and chairs dedicated to resting in the corners of the walls on the left and right, and of course, there are also people who choose to take their favorite drinks and sit down with friends or simply interested partners, and it is more appropriate to call it a "consultation" than an evening party.

I also found a table near the rostrum and sat down.

[Whew...]

Sure enough, it's best to rest whenever you can, and if you can, you can just sit there until the end of the party.

After a slow sigh of relief, I looked around and found something that made people care. Well, only a little bit of concern.

Aside from me and under the snow, no one from that class was here.

[I'm sorry, Hikiya-kun.] ]

Hayama sat next to me, his hands propped up on the table, his palms crossed under his nose, and looked at me with slightly pained eyes

[Just now..]

[No, not at all]

I interrupted him, interrupting Yukishita's conversation with Yubihama, even if it was an excuse to borrow "me", although I was a little concerned, but it was not something to apologize for

[Helped me a lot in every sense of the word]

Indeed, the fact that I can sit here and rest quietly is the best proof of this.

[Yui... She doesn't fit into this kind of topic.]

[But that's not something you can decide.] ]

[No, even if I can't decide, it's my own effort.] ]

Hayama looked at me as if he were looking at me, and then looked at the most illuminated spot not far away, which was the center of the venue, where all kinds of people gathered, and Hayama sighed

[All I can do, all I can do is keep these things as far away from her as possible.] ]

[That's not all, sometimes we are deceived by what we see...] That is, the more you look, the easier it is to be deceived. ]

My gaze drifted away from the image, what was hidden in this occasion, I thought... Whether it's Hayama or under the snow, I know better than I do, what we see is just the surface, everyone's surface - it's a happy party, but what is it like in reality? No one can take responsibility for the true definition of this party.

[You... Try to get to know Yubihama, she's not the brainless fool you think, you know, she's the only one who can be called a friend under the snow.]

[And the first person to like you.]

[uhh

This kind of talk... Say no more... Looking at Hayama's half-joking and half-serious look, I could only salute him with helpless eyes.

[Haha.]

A few seconds later, Hayama laughed heartlessly, laughed out loud, and gently clutched his stomach. He finally stopped and continued

[Indeed, now that I think about it, Yui's personality is like this, even if it is complicated, she will choose to simplify it and then use her own method to get involved.] Although it has always been considered silly by the people around me...]

[Yes, yes, while you are looking at others as fools, maybe others are also looking at you as fools.] Hawkers,Of course, Yubihama can't do it to the point where he can treat everyone as fools.,But... For those who haven't seen Yubihama as a natural guy all along... I can understand why you like her. ]

[The real reason...] I don't know it myself. ]

Hayama, who said this with a wry smile and retracted his gaze, stood up from his chair and looked at me and asked

[Than Kiya-kun, what do you want to drink... And to eat?]

[Oh... No, I'll do it myself.]

As I spoke, I looked at him, and although it was nice to have someone do it for me, I still had to take it seriously when it came to food, after all, I didn't know what food could be available yet.

Just as I was about to get up, there was a sound from the front

[Biqigu, welcome to cheer.]

As I heard the voice, in front of me, Kawabata Eikazu was walking towards me with a confident stride, carrying a wine glass that, judging by the color of the liquid inside, was red wine.

He was wearing a black suit with etiquette on his chest, which was completely a standard banquet dress, however, even this normal banquet dress on him could highlight his handsomeness and excellence, as the saying goes, not everyone is suitable for wearing a suit, but Kawabata is not among them, with a straight body, a handsome and gentle appearance, and a tall figure, the suit has become his superfluous ornament.

Seeing Kawabata come over, Hayama nodded slightly to me and left, and then nodded and smiled at each other when he met Kawabata.

Even in the face of people you don't know, it is common sense to do the most basic etiquette at the party... However, this common sense is not very common to me, and it is very troublesome.

Kawabata took Hayama's place, sat down next to me, put the wine glass in his hand on the table, stretched slightly, and made a tired expression

[I was arranged by my father to meet some elders just now, sorry for being late.] ]

That's what I say, but I really don't feel the so-called "sorry", so this is a disguised show-off?

[Oh... Nothing.]

I shook my head slightly, and sure enough... Are you going to come back?

[Where's Xuexia-san?, didn't I go with you?]

[When they came, they were together.] But for now, it should be somewhere in this venue.]

There's snow under it.,Yuhihama and Isshiki should be fine.. Although I have some trust in them, I can't help but be a little worried, especially this guy.

[Such...]

Kawabata nodded, raised his glass and drank the rest of the red wine in one gulp, exhaling heavily, and looking at me calmly

[I thought she wouldn't come.] ]

[Why?]

I frowned, won't come... An answer that is impossible to ignore.

[Because I've invited her before, but every time I've been rejected or even haven't replied, so this time...]

Kawabata suddenly smiled bitterly, slowly raised his head, and said slowly as if he was sighing

[I can't help but worry about it, but this time it's coming.] Pretty surprising, isn't it?]

[There's something I'd like to confirm more than that.] ]

[What?]

Kawabata turned his head and looked at me suspiciously.

[Are you sure everyone in the class has been invited?]

Because until now, I haven't seen anyone who belongs to that class.

Kawabata shook his head sharply, spread his hands on either side of the sofa, and tilted his head slightly

[I'm sure.but it's a little different from us.]

[Oh?]

[Their venue is not here, it's somewhere else, somewhere else... It's all true. ]

[Why?]

[Because these were originally two different parties.] ]

Kawabata explained everything perfectly, I didn't even have any reason to question him, at first... I didn't say that everyone would be in the same place, so there was nothing wrong with such an explanation, so I became quiet after getting the answer, and so did Kawabata, his eyes flashing with an unpredictable dark light as if he was thinking about something.
