Chapter 7: In the Crowd, Everyone Seems to Have Achieved Their Goal
Of course, I finally refused Fuyuma and Sasa's request to try to go with me to the flower shop where Kogi Sao's seniors worked, which is also a matter of course, with Fuyuma and Sasa's character, let's not say whether Kogi Sao's seniors will have a misunderstanding, I can't stand the ugly face she had when she saw her seniors and finally asked me to help them play a round.
Although I don't think Kogi Senpai will be as knowledgeable as Fuyuma and Sasa, just because she is not polite, but it's good to be cautious.
However, Fuyuma and Yarn are also reasonable in this regard, probably because they are not confident that they will maintain a normal attitude when they meet Kitahara-senpai, so after hesitating to wait for me at first, she still gave up the stupid idea of going into battle herself.
Although I know the fact that my predecessor went to work in a flower shop, I have never seen her predecessor work in person - although I have seen her dress in a ponytail and black-rimmed glasses when she comes to karaoke directly after her part-time job. I also remember that my senior and I had been nagging for a long time, and it was roughly how her father was worried about her, and even if she was working, he only allowed her to work in an acquaintance's shop, and how nice it was to enjoy some untaken care if she had the opportunity.
"You know what I mean, right? At school, other people just kept staring at me, paying attention to my every move, and then finally trying to find a little bit of the feeling of an ordinary employee in the place where I worked, but in the end, this is the result, although the store manager is the same as the other employees, but when I encounter problems, because of my father's relationship, I still receive too little punishment, so it's still a kind of differential treatment, isn't it?" This is what Xiao Mu Yu's senior said when he was playing with his hair during a small talk one day.
"Then the seniors will come to karaoke to work, anyway, you and Inoue Obasang are already so familiar, and you also know the essentials of karaoke work - more importantly, if you come here to work, I will become your senior, right?"
"Is it the idea of Kazuya to fight? Is it any good for you to be my senior?"
"Aren't there a lot of benefits?For example, the reason why I've always been weak in front of Xiao Mu Yu is because my seniors are seniors?"
"Do you really think so?" Kazuya?" asked Kogi Senpai, squinting his eyes and holding his chin, looking very serious.
However, at that time, I didn't give a clear answer to Kogi Senpai, because, at that time, I just took these words as a joke, and I couldn't look at Kogi Senpai's senior with a serious expression and respond to the other party in a new joking-like tone.
Even now, I don't know if I can give an answer to my seniors.
Is this really my true idea that I want to be the senior of my predecessors? Or do I really want to be the one who can be relied on as the senior of Kogi Sao?
From the beginning of the relationship with Kogi Sao's seniors, the relationship between the empathetic seniors and the juniors who are a little awkward in the middle two has been determined - I'm sure I like this kind of relationship, it's an inevitable choice for me who has been taking care of Sister Yui and enjoying the care and understanding of Kogi Sao's seniors.
Have I ever considered the idea of changing this relationship? Maybe in a joke, I'll mention it, but, as I said, really when the issue is put in front of me in a serious form, I hesitate.
I have always regarded Kogi Senpai as a place to seek understanding when I was frustrated, but the establishment of this relationship is the infinite tolerance of my predecessors - and infinite tolerance itself, this is a false proposition, and no one can fail to do this except for the saint accident.
"Yes, I'm sorry then, Kazuya, at least in this matter, I can't stand behind you!" At that moment, the seniors chose to no longer patiently tolerate my willfulness.
It was only after losing the backing of my predecessors that I tried to find change, and then I found the opportunity to change.
However, after all, it was a change that I only discovered when I was alone, and it was not a change brought about by the persuasion of Kogi's seniors, and if I can't prove that my mind has changed, my seniors won't change their minds because of my words, will they?
I stood at the door of the flower shop where Kogi Juni's predecessor worked, and looked at Kogi Sao's senior who was carefully arranging the flowers from a distance, and stopped. The twisted braid and the simple large-rimmed glasses make people can't imagine that it is the kaolin flower of the school. Occasionally, she would look at the guests coming and going, and smile gently but somewhat worky.
In the past, if I saw this scene, I would be proud. Because, I have seen the smiles of my predecessors that are not work-style or social.
However, I once abused the tolerance of my predecessors without limit, and in the end, it led to the disappearance of my seniors' patience with me. So, what am I doing now? Because of a kind of speculation, because of the simple jealousy psychology of Fuyuma and Sasa, I tried to intervene in her life without the permission of my predecessors, and what is the difference between me and me who abused the tolerance of my predecessors at that time?
Kogi Yu's senior raised her head, and she looked in my direction as if she sensed something. However, I jumped up as if reflexively and hid around the corner of the intersection, avoiding the glances of my seniors.
Although I'm a little sorry for Fuyuma and Sasa for saying this, I understand, before I really tell Kogi Sao's seniors with a fact that my current self is different from my past me, I can't, and I can't, stand in front of my seniors openly and tell Kogi Sao's seniors my true choice.
I still don't know if I want to be a person who can be relied on by my seniors, but at the very least, I hope that I don't want to be a person who puts too much burden on my seniors.
------------------------------------- dividing line------------------------------------
As I cautiously walked away from the corner, I saw Haruki Kitahara walking towards me. He seemed to be thinking about something with a tangled expression, a state of preoccupation, almost as if he was going to ignore the whole world that had nothing to do with him.
- Of course, I think he did ignore these things, because he completely ignored my existence at the very point where he passed me by.
If it were a normal Kitahara-senpai, he, who was impeccable in both politeness and norms, would stop at such a time and say hello to me well, however, he hurried past me like this.
In a sense, at least, my judgment when talking to Fuyuma and Sasa was correct, Haruki Kitahara did grasp something, and looking at the direction he was heading, it was the flower shop where Kogi Sao's predecessor worked, and there was no suspense.
Although I had decided not to interfere with the choice of my senior, it still didn't stop me from being curious about the conversation between the two, so, from a distance, I still followed behind Kitahara-senpai, and after watching him hesitate for a while, I stopped Kogi-senpai.
Obviously, Xiao Mu Yu's predecessor was a little caught off guard by her dress being discovered by Kitahara seniors, and she had a headache when she looked at Kitahara seniors' non-stop bowing and apologetic appearance. However, although I didn't have an intuitive impression, I could still see that although Kitahara-senpai's apology was very sincere, his expression was not the one that was sorry for revealing other people's secrets without permission.
It was a resolute expression, like that of a hunter who senses the arrival of his prey.
Haruki Kitahara,In a somewhat unreasonable way,Forcibly infiltrated the private realm of Kogi Yu's seniors who thought they were safe.,If the seniors hadn't met any other such people before,With her kind of helplessness,Kitahara-senpai could have brought this confrontation to an end.ใ
Fortunately, after a brief period of surprise, Xiao Mu Yu's senior expression slowly became calmer, and the kind of gentle but repulsive expression that often appeared in school resurfaced on her face.
Kitahara-senpai seemed to be asking for something, and seemed to be explaining something, however, Kogi-senpai just kept shaking his head gently, and kept smiling softly, refusing the other party.
- until Haruki Kitahara said a word.
Far away, on the noisy streets, I couldn't hear what Kitahara-seni was saying, and I wasn't an expert in lip language, so I couldn't tell what he was saying based on the shape of my mouth, and I could vaguely tell that he said something like "best", but, other than that, I didn't know anything about it.
However, after saying this, Kogi Senpai-senpai was obviously silent, she didn't refuse as firmly as she did at first, she just gently lowered her glasses and began to ponder.
I don't know how long it has beenโmaybe not too long, but after a period of time that was too torturous for me, Kogi Sao-senpai put on his eyes again and shook his head gently, as if he still rejected Kitahara-senpai.
However, as she spoke, Haruki Kitahara showed a confident and hopeful expression.
Senior Kogi tilted his head sideways with some confusion, as if he didn't understand why the other party was so confident.
Regardless of it, Haruki Kitahara just smiled heartily, smiling confidently without a trace of worry, and did not answer her doubts.
Finally, both sides waved goodbye.
Kogi Yu straightened her braids and continued to skillfully put up the flowers as if nothing had happened, but she occasionally looked at the sky and drew a gesture that she often did in karaoke, throwing off her clothes, grabbing the microphone, and being in a daze for a while.
Haruki Kitahara, who did not come back in my direction but continued to move forward, was as steady as ever, and I was sure that he was rejected, but no one who was rejected would be as elated as he was now.
Everyone seems to have achieved their goal, and everyone seems to have failed to achieve their goal.
The September sun isn't actually very dazzling, but when the sun goes down and the sun shines in direct sunlight, it can still be a little uncomfortable.
The senior had already walked into the flower shop, leaving only the flowers she had just arranged.
I'm not familiar with flowers, but like all girls, I like divination, and I like to study the hidden meaning of flowers, but I still occasionally nag me about the language of flowers.
The flower that Kogi's predecessor just made is not a flower in my opinion, but a bonsai-like thing.
As it happens, Yui-san told me what it was.
"Xiaohe, actually, boxwood is very suitable for you, what describes your father's flowers?"
"I'm glad that Sister Yui finally realized that I had been helping you, but my sister also bothered you not to treat your brother as a middle-aged man, I don't want to age so early!"
"But, firm, calm, indomitable, these words are used to describe Xiaohe, are they similar?"
"So, does Yui want to say that I'm the same as my father?"
"Eh, I'm just saying that these words are more in line with Xiaohe's character!"
Of course, my sister definitely didn't buy me boxwood, and I didn't like it if I bought a pot of plants of unknown significance, and of course my sister understood this.
So, this matter is almost skipped in the form of a joke.
Yet, I just remembered those words by magic.
Maybe it's just a coincidence, maybe it's something in mind, so the intention is moved, but, senior Xiao Mu Yu, are you looking forward to a firm and calm decision?
Whether that is the case or not, what I am going to do has been decided.
The last request that Kogi So's predecessor had for me was to let me help Koharu, and now, after finding the right theory, I can already achieve this task.
I think that when I complete that request, it will be time for me to be able to stand in front of my seniors.
Firm and calm decision-making, if all you need is these things, is too simple, because, Kazuya Yuhihama, has never lacked the confidence and courage to make decisions when solving problems.
Maybe my next decision will make the minister under the snow again, but I think it's okay to go on with what I think. Kazuya Yuhihama has always been so persistent.
I pulled out my phone, pulled out a name from the long address book that I had added by mistake, and dialed the other person's number.
"Hello, who are you?" I have to say, the voice on the other end of the phone is very pleasant, if she can sing and become an idol, this voice alone will have a high popularity, right?
But that's certainly not what I'm concerned about now.
"Vice President Sonoda, I'm Yuhihama, can I talk to you alone about your Sugiura-senpai questions?"
