Chapter 232: Respective Reactions
Even Ying Ri Li didn't expect Kazuya to be so decisive at this time, although she had also thought that Kazuya would make a statement in a more direct way, which would make her feel very happy. However, as the person who has spent the second longest time with Kazuya among the people present, she still knows Kazuya's character very well.
Therefore, when she saw Kazuya say such words, Yingli Li's heart was not only shocked, but also full of emotion.
Of course, the blushing look of her blushing face behind Kazuya wanting to grasp the corner of Kazuya's clothes didn't let Kazuya see it, Kazuya himself just looked straight at the other three people in front of her, a little nervous, as if waiting for the verdict to be announced, looking at Ayase, Kato and Shiyu.
However, somewhat unexpectedly, the reaction from the other side was not as violent as he imagined. At least on the surface, the expressions of the three of them are very calm, of course, Kazuya also thought that this is because the other party has been mentally prepared, but it really doesn't look like he is excited, but he doesn't know what to do.
You know, often, what is hidden after the calm is the storm.
After an unknown number of silent glances from the five people today, in the end, it was Ayase who spoke first.
Ayase's expression was no different from her usual, although she didn't force herself to smile, but, she said in a surprisingly calm tone: "Well, that's the case, that, my brother doesn't need to talk to me at all, and I'm a couple or something, it's a matter of course, that's it, that is, I'll have to trouble my seniors to take care of my brother in the future!" β
However, when she said the word "take care of her", Ayase's eyes involuntarily dimmed, as if she was giving the other party what she had always cherished the most.
"Uh, Ayase-" Looking at Ayase like this, Eiri Li's heart doesn't know how to be good, for her, she can also be regarded as watching Ayase's growth, she also remembers at least Ayase's fear of going out when she was a child, and it has also changed because of her own words, although she has no brothers and sisters, but she can also understand the girl's kind of person who she has been taking care of may suddenly not have to take care of herself, and she is the person who "took away" that person's brother, She also suddenly felt a sense of guilt in her heart.
However, Ayase quickly hid the gloom he showed at that moment, raised his head, looked at Kazuya, and said, "Well, all in all, congratulations to my brother, that, at least my brother still found a girlfriend before his 18th birthday!" β
"Hey, are you praising me or belittling me!" Kazuya could feel that Ayase's heart was forcibly suppressing some complex emotions, but since Ayase didn't bring it up, he understood that his sister was trying to solve it on her own, after all, at this time, no matter what specific explanation he said, it was not as effective as the other party's self-adjustment, so he also gently teased Ayase's topic.
"I'm glad for you!" Ayase blinked and chuckled.
"Well, that's rightβ" Seeing that his sister's problem seemed to have been solved, Kazuya turned his gaze to the other two behind Ayase with some uncertainty.
Subsequently, he found that, at least for now, Kato's and Shiyu's expressions were extraordinarily calm.
As if sensing Kazuya's gaze, Kato pursed his lips and smiled lightly, and said, "Well, congratulations on this matter!" I've always felt that Aragaki-san and Eiri are a very suitable pair! You see, you've known each other for so long, and all the previous misunderstandings have been resolved, if you can be more frank with each other, won't many problems be solved? I'm glad you were able to do that! β
"Uh, this-" Kazuya looked at Kato stunned, he still remembered the final outcome of his last meeting with Kato, he still remembered the rare sad face of the girl named Megumi Kato at that time, and the face with tears, but now Kato, just sitting in front of him, with her usual most stable and peaceful voice, gently explained the truth to Kazuya.
"Ah, when I say something like that, I always feel like an old woman who cares about you, I'm not that old! Haha" Then, as if realizing the problem with what he said, Kato shook his head slightly, frowning and correcting his words, "That's a feeling of goodness, it feels like it's normal for the two of you to be able to be together with only a membrane and then pierce that membrane!" β
Although Kato's words seemed calm and relaxed, Kazuya felt a little uncomfortable, because he found that Kato, from beginning to end, kept mentioning "Kazuya and Eiri Pear", and never mentioned anything about himself, and Kazuya only focused on Kato's own mood and his own thoughts.
But Kazuya feels that he should never be able to grasp the thinking logic of Megumi Kato's mood, because the other party can always decisively see through what he thinks at this time, and then respond indisputably, this time is the same, looking at Kazuya's questioning eyes, Kato finally sighed softly and said: "Also, I'm sorry about what happened when we met last time, but it's okay anymore, at least, what I said last time hasn't changed, my attitude, And it has never changed. I want to continue, I want to make it, keep going. β
Although it is a soft word, but the deep firmness and that kind of desire contained in this kind of words can be felt by Kazuya, and in the end, looking at Megumi Kato, who has a look of "that thing ends here", Kazuya still nodded gently, no matter what his identity, he now seems to have no way to make a reassuring attitude towards the other party, so, whether it is deception or not, he can only choose to believe what the other party says.
Shi Yu, who has been a little silent since entering the room, raised her head a little panicked until Kazuya's gaze came, and after she made up her mind at the time, Shi Yu also thought about going along with this situation and no longer had clear contact with Kazuya, but, vaguely, she still felt that she and the other party seemed to lack a final end.
In other words, what Shi Yu doesn't want to admit is that she still has a trace of fantasy in her heart, she remembered the scene in the hospital a few months ago, the same abandonment, the same determination, but after meeting herself, she still redeemed herself, although she felt that this kind of thing could not happen a second time, but, Shi Yu's heart still contained such a desire.
Although when she learned from Ayase that Kazuya had been with Eiri for some time, she had already realized that her pathetic disillusionment had been shattered, but for some reason, she still chose to follow, maybe as she said before, Kasumigaoka Shiyu, still wants a final break!
However, this complicated mood also determines Shi Yu's unusual silence in this situation. Although, when Kazuya's gaze, and even other people's gaze, were on her, Shiyu also understood that her silence could no longer be maintained.
"Well, how do you say that? I couldn't be happier about this matter anyway! Shiyu said to Kazuya with a straight face.
This also made Kazuya's mood sink immediately, Kasumigaoka Shiyu's feelings for himself, he is still very clear, not necessarily the kind of pure love, but the kind of mixed like, as an opponent and as a like-minded person complex emotions, and also think, how to be able to interact with Shiyu, in fact, it will also be a good choice.
Although, in the end, he chose to give up, but, somewhat out of a selfish idea, he still hoped to be able to continue to be friends with Shiyu, after all, Kato, who had a similar situation, is doing the same now, which also made him more or less have a trace of illusion.
"So, is it really not going to work?" Looking at Shi Yu with a straight face, Kazuya sighed softly in his heart, "Sure enough, even if it is this way of easing, as long as you are too greedy, you will lose it!" β
"Well, as for why you're angry," looking at the people who seemed to be very entangled because of what he said, Shi Yu seemed to be very satisfied with everyone's reaction, and continued, "That's because the reason why a certain blonde defeated dog is called a defeated dog has been lost, and there will be less effective means of attack in the future, and the defeated dogs have counterattacked, where are the axioms and laws of this world?" β
"Ahh After listening to Shi Yu's words, He couldn't help but hum out, he didn't understand at all that the Kasumigaoka Shi Yu, who looked particularly sad just now, actually gave him such an answer.
However, it was Ying Li Li who reacted more fiercely than him, although Shi Yu's words were no different from the words that usually belittled him, but Ying Li Li could feel the emotions hidden in the other party, you know, for the two people who have been fighting, and at the same time have been encouraging and supporting each other, they are already very familiar with each other's feelings. In the same way, they are all too familiar with the way each other's feelings are expressed.
"That, Kasumigaoka Shiha!" Ying Lili suddenly felt that her nose seemed to be blocked, and she spoke muffledly, "You guy, you know, no, I already knew, I could-ha-that, haha, you are-"
What does Ying Li Li want to say, no one knows, but, what everyone can hear, is the kind of crying when Ying Li Li is halfway through, no one knows what kind of feelings Ying Li Pear is now, even Ying Li Li herself is not clear, at that moment, she seems to feel the joy of her so-called victory, but, more, is feeling sad for the failure of her friend, although feelings are such a selfish thing, but, Ying Li Li is a soft-hearted person after all, she is also after all, is a person who will be sad about other people's things.
"As for me!" Shi Yu deliberately ignored Ying Lili's crying, and said in a voice louder than Ying Lili's crying, "I, haven't I always been abandoned by you!" I should know that you guys just prefer guys younger than yourself, the so-called senior sister, the so-called old woman, is the object of dislike! β
If it was the usual Shi Yu who said this, He would also be a little unclear whether the other party was ridiculing or telling the truth, but now Shi Yu said this, and He can fully understand that it is the reaction of the other party's true emotions. However, Shiyu prefers to show this real emotion to look very ridiculous, and he must show this emotion very nonsensical, which can also make Kazuya feel that under this ridiculous tone, the efforts of Shiyu of Kasumigaoka are made.
"So, as far as I'm concerned, I'm used to failure!" Shi Yu shook his head lightly and laughed self-deprecatingly, "Well, it's too smooth in other fields, and you have to fall a few times in this kind of place." β
"Senior Sister Shiyu-" Kazuya looked at Kasumigaoka Shiyu, who had tried her best to express her emotions, and at the same time suppressed her emotions as much as possible, and her heart was extremely complicated.
"--Well, but you have to be mentally prepared, Kazuya Aragaki," finally, Shiyu's expression changed to a very strange expression, she looked at Kazuya, and said with the kind of expression that Kazuya is most familiar with and most unfamiliar with usually, "If there is a scumbag in my novel who excels in sports but emotionally plays with a lot of women, then you don't want to sit in the right seat!" β
"Well, you've said so, how can I sit down in the wrong seat!" Kazuya responded with a wry smile, "And, am I really that scumbag as you say?" β
However, in response to him, it was the "staring" eyes from Ayase and Kato. Even the Ying Li Li behind him didn't seem to be very firmly on his side at this time.
"Okay!" Kazuya shook his head and acquiesced to this evaluation.
"So! It's better not to offend the creator as a person! Shi Yu smiled lightly, and seemed to return to his previous appearance, "For example, if you do something to be sorry for a certain defeated dogβah, it can't be said to be a defeated dog, blonde victory dog?" It's always weird to have a name.-Well, all in all, I'm sorry for that guy.,Your image becomes someone's book of NTR's sufferer, too, maybe! β
Kazuya turned his head to look at Ying Lili and found that the other party was just looking at him helplessly.
"So," although Shiyu's performance seemed to be normal at last, the trembling words at the end still proved the sadness in her heart, although this sentence contained an extra decisiveness, "Then, Kazuya Aragaki will see you soon!" β
"Well, Senior Sister Shiyu, goodbye!" And also in his heart, he also responded silently.
Although, at that time, he only understood goodbye as the meaning of that emotional cutoff, and he didn't expect that the series of complicated results that Kasumigaoka Shiyu's words would contain.
