Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Sheep Chased by the Tiger

Because of sensibility, I choose a moment of disobedience, and because of reason, I try to seize the safest opportunity before. This is the choice of Isshiki, and it is the choice of many normal people.

But, sure enough, this dualistic attitude will only lead people to a quagmire in the end. And if I had to make a choice, I knew I had no other choice.

"I think I can continue to help you if all your choices are the best solution after your rational thinking in the next plan, but if you do something unexpected like today, I can choose to stop it. ”

- Therefore, I can only continue to move forward from the place where I am determined, and the hesitation caused by others must be excluded from my way of thinking as much as possible.

"It's not what I want to see. Isseki lowered his head and said with a gloomy face.

"But it's the best solution for you, and you've always known it. ”

"I know that, but that's not what I meant—"

"So, what are you trying to say?"

"Kazuya," she replied with a helpless but wry smile, looking up, "I mean, in my prediction, your situation shouldn't be like this. ”

So, what should my situation be like - I wanted to ask this question, but I knew what she expected to answer it. You can deal with problems in a softer and more harmonious way, take more care of other people's feelings, and take more care of your own feelings.

This certainly seems like a beautiful thing, but it only pulls me further and further away from the "right" part.

"If I follow the path you expect, do you think this afternoon's work will go smoothly?"

Isshiki didn't answer, and she knew the answer to that question.

"So, Ichiyu-san, please give up your remaining luck with feelings and impulsiveness at this time, challenge the decision of the impossible task, and do not allow any rashness. ”

Next, I didn't wait for her answer, and left the classroom first, I will give Isseki time to think, I need to know whether she is more determined to achieve her goals, or more irrational to be kidnapped by those ethereal so-called emotional impulses.

------------------------------------ dividing line----------------------------------------

My sister and Bikiya were waiting for me at the entrance of the school building - the weather had turned cold, and no one wanted to endure the cold wind at the school gate. And it looks like they've been waiting for me for a long time. From the bored eyes of Hikiya and the embarrassed expression of Yui-san who didn't even know what to bring up, you can know how much of a salvation my appearance is for them.

But in fact, my presence had no effect on the overall mood, and the cold atmosphere lasted until everyone got on the train, and it seemed that the ministry had not been in a group for too long, so everyone was a little unsure of what to say. Except for my sister's occasional casual questions such as "how is Komachi's revision exam" or "Kowa's work is going well in the afternoon", the atmosphere is really a little weird.

Sure enough, the person to be visited is the one who doesn't seem to have problems with the perpetual motion machine, so everyone doesn't know what to do, right?

Although I had only sent the minister home a few days ago, I had not entered the other party's room, but even when I came to the door of such a luxury apartment for the second time, I still wanted to feel that this girl's life was in a sense not on the same level as those of us ordinary people.

I made sure I had the room number, then went upstairs and knocked on the door, but the person who opened the door had to make me frown.

"My dearest sister is sick, and as an older sister, I naturally have to care about the situation!" Yang Nai, who was rarely dressed in family casual clothes, appeared in front of us, "Mmmm, Xiao Xueno still has someone to care about, and my sister is very pleased with this!"

Her eyes scanned the three of us unscrupulously, and when she saw Yui-san, her sister showed her a confused and reluctant smile - it was impossible to imagine that her sister was about to be the lead singer of this person's band; While I believe that seeing through this will be a piece of cake for Yono Yukishita, she's clearly the kind of person who doesn't pay much attention to characters she doesn't interest in for the time being.

And when the other person looked at me with a weird smile, I knew that there were some misleading questions that could not be escaped.

"So, the previous brother Kazuya still completed the task very well!"

"I guess that can't be considered a mission, right?"

"So, because it's not a task, it's even better than I expected?"

"I don't understand what the senpai means under the snow. ”

"Well, I mean, that's when I found out that Brother Kazuya is the kind of person who can wear a pink scarf!"

I can feel the constant twitching of my eyebrows, I don't know where in this room, Minister, if you know that your sister will come, please be a little careful on some of the more sensitive issues!

My sister, who didn't understand the situation, looked at me with some confusion, but I knew that the best way to do this was to remain silent. In other words, try to talk as little as possible, and miss the traps and provocations in the other person's words, so that the possibility of further complications of the situation becomes low.

And my silence was indeed exchanged for the abandonment of Yono under the snow, or rather, she may have heard the voice of her sister coming over, so she gave up on further research on the issue.

"Ah, I feel that Xiao Yukino is going to be angry with me, so the greetings to Yukino-chan's friends will end here first, right?" The moment Yukino appeared under the snow holding the door, it was like the two were exchanging plays, Yukino blinked and walked to the other side of the room, "After all, it's still rude to disturb the rare time to get together!"

This is exactly the usual style of Yono under the snow, appearing without warning and disappearing cleanly.

Obviously, not only is our group not good at dealing with that person, but when Xue Xia himself looked at the back of his sister leaving, he could only apologize with a wry smile: "I'm sorry, my sister is really a little too messy." ”

The minister under the snow who said this was wearing a somewhat loose white knitted shirt, and the left half of the neckline hung down a little, revealing her white shoulders, but I don't know if this was her dress when she was relatively unkempt at home, or if she wore her own pajamas. Her black ungroomed hair was scattered behind her, on her shoulders, and even in front of her forehead, and perhaps in a hurry, a few strands of black hair on her forehead were simply tied with an orange hair ring so that they did not obscure her face. I'm used to seeing the well-dressed snow in school, and I was a little surprised to see this casual look.

However, one thing is certain, and that is that as long as it is a beautiful girl, even casual dressing will make people feel amazing.

"Actually, you don't have to come here. While leading us through the hallway to sit down on the sofa in the living room, while carefully putting aside a few Mr. Pan dolls that seemed to be the "Mr. Pan Panda", he said this sentence under the snow, which always felt a little too strong.

"But Xiaoxue is sick, isn't she?"

"Well, in fact, I just took a day off, and my body was a little tired, but it didn't matter. ”

"But, at the end of the day, being tired means there's a problem, right?"

"If I don't take the lead and do more, then others won't be able to complete the task, and as the chairman of the executive committee, you can only gain the trust of others by leading by example. "So, I'm a little tired, but if I don't do it, no one will do it, for example, I'm thinking that today's executive committee should be a mess, right?"

Under the snow, she turned her head to Hikiya and asked the only person in the executive committee she knew was still there.

"Ah, this one, it's okay, it's okay. And Bi Qigu coped with it in his usual vague words.

"If it's okay, it's worse, so, Yubihama, look, ahem—" Coughing under the snow, waving his hand, "it turned out to be so cruel. ”

"About this matter, Xuexia senior, I think you think too much, just compared to the meaning of Qigu senior's 'okay', is really the meaning of 'no problem'. ”

"Huh?"

"At least, the situation is under control so far. ”

"yes, I don't think Ichishiki-san can reasonably deal with the current - ah!" nodded abruptly under the snow.

"That's about it. Biqigu also proved it in a timely manner.

"So, Xiaoxue, do you understand?" my sister continued to add menacingly, "Even if Xiaoxue is gone, Xiaohe is also working very hard to help Xiaoxue solve the current problem, and I am thinking, if Xiaoxue is working hard by herself, let the rest of us help you a little more, then it will not be the current situation, right?"

"Well, at that time, your brother was in the light music club, and Biqigu was doing chores or something, and there seemed to be no room for much involvement, everyone actually only needed to complete the things within their duties, and my problem was that I didn't complete the things within my duties-"

"—that's because there's so much in your role, isn't it?"

"But it looks like you're doing a pretty good job with Hihama?"

"It's just a day, and I can barely make an effort. ”

"So, you see, Yubihama, my task is not too tedious, isn't it?" smiled reluctantly, and said softly to her sister under the snow, "Of course, even if it's a day, I'm grateful." ”

To my surprise, Xue Nai said thank you to me smoothly.

"The minister's thanks always feel like there's fraud in it—"

But Yubihama still helped me a lot, and there were many things before, so it's not a lot to say thank you in unison. ”

So, it seems like a sincere word under the snow, which seems to be a bit surprising.

However, the next sentence under the snow immediately made me realize the meaning of her previous remarks.

"-But, then, everything is left to me to solve, it's fine, I will go to school tomorrow, I will also go to work, of course, I will moderately consider reducing the workload, but, since I have assumed the responsibility of the chairman, it is the worst choice to give up halfway!"

"So, how much, Xiaoxue can still rely on the others, right?" asked my sister a little anxiously, this should be the core question she brought us here.

"So—" Snow shook her head, and finally, without an immediate answer.

"What do you think?" she asked, sighing.

How should we choose when faced with the huge monster that wants to devour people?

In fact, I and Biqigu discussed this issue, just a few hours ago.

It is of course impossible to unite to solve the problem - the fantasy of the sister really only exists in the ideal. However, after rejecting this answer, the approach taken is still different.

"There's always someone who wants—"

"—There's always someone who is going to be presented as a sacrifice to the monster's altar, Hikiya-senpai, do you want to say that?" I interrupted.

Hikiya Hachiman's body shook a little, and then, for a moment, he even looked at me with some dissatisfaction.

"There is always someone who is going to be presented to the altar as a sacrifice, and as a result, there is nothing wrong with that—but, methodologically, it is wrong. I looked at Bikiya and then at the snow, and said, "The mistake is that we can't choose the person to be sacrificed because we know that there is always someone to be presented to the altar - because no matter how you choose, whether it is voting or self-sacrifice, this is not the choice to maximize the effect." ”

Actually, this story is similar to the story of the tiger and the flock, the tiger is sure to eat the sheep, but what the sheep have to do is definitely not to negotiate with the tiger and send it a sheep every day to satisfy the other party's appetite, but to engage in a cruel competition for survival - the sheep that is eaten by the tiger is the sheep that is naturally the most suitable for sacrifice. On the other hand, and more importantly, when the tiger storms the camp of the flock, the leader of the sheep must always lead the sheep as the core of the flock, no matter what way it is. ”

Therefore, the voluntary dedication of a sheep does not lead to the awakening of the flock, and only under the leadership of a great sheep leader will the flock find a way to move forward. ”
