Chapter 18: Solving Doubts and New Doubts
I was well aware of the seriousness of this war, because it was difficult to doubt the momentum of my sister and seniors, but I didn't know the purpose of the war, and I could vaguely feel that it was related to me, whether I was going to make peace with my seniors or fight for a specific title like a cultural festival, I didn't know at all. If only for such a purpose, does it really need to be so serious?
However, after this declaration that made me a little dumbfounded, neither of them continued to explain anything, and Kogi Senpai first turned to leave, and then, my sister looked at me hesitantly, and left without saying anything. After watching the crowd disperse, all that was left was me, confused, and a certain student council president who stared at me.
"I was just checking on the discipline at the door, and I saw some commotion here and came over to take a look. Ichiyu shrugged his shoulders and explained.
- It seems to make sense, but why didn't I see you when I just passed the school gate?
However, given the position I am in, it doesn't seem very convenient for me to complain about her.
"Well, that's hard, I'll go to the classroom first, and the adults will continue to work. "I feel like Ichishiki understands the meaning of that conversation better than I do, so I always feel a little embarrassed when I face her.
"Ok, thank you!" Ichiseki said with a look of intent to speak.
"So, is there anything you want to say to me?"
"So, don't you want to ask me anything?"
"If I asked you, would you answer?"
"What do you think?"
"Hmm-" I dodged Isshiki's eyes again, and now I was almost sure that Ichishiki knew what that remark meant, but I couldn't ask her.
Even though it seemed like she had let go, the guilt I felt for Yishiyu in my heart made it impossible for me to ask her for clarification.
"If you want to know, why don't you come to the rooftop for lunch break?" Ishisaki sighed and replied, "I won't wait too long for you, ten minutes from the time I left the classroom." ”
---------------------------------------- Dividing Line----------------------------------------
The eighth minute after the lunch break began, the eighth minute after Ichiyuki left the classroom, and the eighth minute when I stared blankly at her empty seat, during which Ichishiki's classmates from the Ikshiki Guards even came to me protesting and said, "Yubihama, what are you thinking about Isshiki-san's position?", and I attacked him mercilessly.
Since that incident, Isshiki has rarely played around with me in front of me, and although sometimes she will make more cautious jokes to prove that she has seen it, but I know that she will never joke on such a relatively serious topic.
But how am I supposed to deal with her? how am I going to deal with girls who have helped me on such a sensitive issue, at least in the past, who have liked me in the past - I don't know what to do. However, I was desperate for the answers she had given me—I had a delusion in my heart, but I was not sure, and I wished that the answer would be told to me by a relatively knowledgeable and quick-witted observer.
That struggle lasted until the eighth minute of the lunch break, which ended with me losing to the latter craving. Isshiki chose a very suitable time, and did not say "the whole lunch break will be waiting for me", so that I would not go at the last moment because of the excuse that I did not have time, and on the other hand, it also gave me enough time to think about it, so that I would not refuse directly because of the impulse.
My reaction should have been expected, although when I got to the rooftop, she was about to close the lid of the lunch box as if she was leaving.
"In such weather, it is actually quite too much for a girl to wait for ten minutes. ”
"Sorry, I've been thinking about it for a while. ”
"yes? I thought it was about the two people you took so seriously, and you'd be a little more nervous. ”
I was speechless with my head bowed - the reason for hesitation because I care about your feelings is obviously not suitable as an explanation for this time.
"However, I probably know the reason for your hesitation, so I am not sad, on the contrary, somewhat happy. ”
"Uh-"
But don't worry, it's one thing to be happy, it's another to have an idea. Yishi brushed the sideburns around his ears, turned his head away, and said softly.
Although she did a good job of hiding her emotions, I still felt a slight sourness in her heart when she turned away unnaturally.
However, the haze of that moment was quickly swept away by her, and when she turned around, she already had a calm expression.
"Anyway, let's go back to the original topic, although I haven't seen all the conversations between your sister and Xiao Mu Yu's seniors, but I think I can still understand something. ”
"Hmm. ”
"Of course, I don't know what Yubihama-senpai thinks, I just think that I can probably understand the feelings of Kogi-senpai. The chopsticks in Isshiki's hand rhythmically tapped the lunch box and made a "tick-tock" sound, giving people a strange sense of urgency.
"Before, you confessed that Xiao Mu Yu's predecessor was rejected, right?"
"Hmm. ”
Nodding embarrassedly, not to mention my own feelings, it is not a glorious thing for this matter to be brought up by others, especially if I have rejected my predecessors first, especially if the person who brought it up is another person who has been rejected by me.
"So, does Kazuya think that the seniors like Kazuya?"
"Wouldn't it seem strange for me to answer this question myself?"
"Didn't you assume that I liked you and then reject me when I didn't expect it?"
Although this is true, however, it is a strange feeling that Isshiki, who is the protagonist of this incident, said this.
"Well, at least at that time, I felt that the feelings of my predecessors had not changed. ”
"That's how I judge, if you really like it, it won't disappear suddenly, even if you make up your mind to give up, if the other party shows good intentions again, it's easy to rekindle the feelings that have been given up. ”
"Hmm. ”
"So, Kazuya thinks, why do you want to reject your seniors who like you?"
"Isn't it because my previous actions broke her heart?"
"Of course that's a reason, so, because you broke her heart, she's completely dead to you, do you believe that?"
"Uh, there's no way to tell, right?"
"Of course, if there are no other conditions, then of course it is impossible to judge, but, from the conversation between Kogi Senpai-senpai and Yubihama-senpai just now, can you sense that she has completely given up on you? For example, the way she looks at you is the same as the way I look at you?"
Almost immediately, I remembered the look in my senior's eyes, the look of anticipation—she had expectations for me, but definitely not cold.
"You mean, Senior Xiao Mu Shu, she has something to ask of me? I can feel this, but what does she want me to do?"
"It doesn't make sense if she tells you everything, does it? That senior obviously wants you to understand her thoughts for yourself, doesn't it?"
At the critical moment, Isshiki sold a pass. However, this explanation of hers also left me speechless.
"Well, thank you anyway. I nodded.
"Then let's stop here - although there is the sun at noon, but it takes a lot of courage for people to eat bento on the rooftop in this weather, so I'd better hurry up and go back to the classroom to eat-hmm, the words in the classroom are too strange, it's better to be in the student union office, ah, I made a mistake, I didn't expect this problem to appear, all thanks to you!"
Ichiseki showed a somewhat regretful expression, but although she blamed me, her mood was obviously quite relaxed.
Infected by her light-hearted emotion, I asked the question I had always wanted to ask: "So, why does Isshiki want to help me in this matter?"
I thought she would give me the same easy answer as before, but when I asked this question, I realized that the relaxed air seemed to freeze immediately.
The sound of the wind, which was not small on the rooftop, became louder, and the bag containing the bento in Isshiki's hand continued to shake with the sound of the wind.
"Are you really going to ask that?" Ichiseki asked with a wink, in a strange way, like surprise, like self-deprecation, and like reproach.
"If I could take it back—" I replied subconsciously.
"—if it could be taken back. He smiled playfully.
"Well, it's actually fine!" As if the sound of the ice cracking when the ice melts in the spring reaches my ears, she stretches and smiles lightly, "In addition to thinking that Kazuya you should know more but don't know anything is pitiful, there is also the idea of doing an experiment." ”
"Experiments?"
"The results of the experiment were not bad, but they failed. Isseki said in a daze, his eyes drifting to a distant place without a goal.
"By the way, the last service, let's give you a little more information!" she opened the door to the rooftop, jumped down the stairs with a few steps, and then, looking back at me who was still on the heights, "Actually, many times girls are not very demanding, after a long period of unilateral paying, they want some return, that's all - this also applies to you boys, right?"
"Oh-hmm. I understood the meaning of Ichishiki's words, but I didn't seem to understand who she was aiming for.
"Well, that's it, we had a good chat at noon today, goodbye, Kazuya!" Ichiyu raised his hand and waved it slightly, and then disappeared under the stairs - as if the unpredictable appearance of the first meeting had not changed at all
