Chapter 323: The real big man who set up the flag before the game
Although Kazuya nominally said that whether or not to watch Kirino's game or not was decided by Ayase's schedule. However, when he said this, he was almost doomed until, in fact, to see the result of Kirino's game.
After all, as long as Kazuya relayed this request to Ayase, Ayase, who values Kirino very much, will find time to watch Kirino no no matter how busy she is, so almost a few minutes after Kazuya and Ayase relayed Kirino's idea, Ayase contacted Kirino and asked Kirino to set the time in a hurry, and said that he would do everything possible to adjust his schedule.
The girl is such a magical animal, at first, Kirino can cut off contact with everyone because of her high requirements for herself and the goal of satisfying other people's requirements, but after Ayase finds her and Kazuya gives her some psychological counseling, Kirino reverts to the original chatty mode.
This can't help but make Kazuya a little worried.,If he solved Kirino's problem unintentionally.,What should be the reason for Kyosuke-san to come to the United States.。
But thinking that he didn't just seem to have eliminated Ayase, but also eliminated the black cat and Saori and others from Kyosuke's life, and he also felt that it was not impossible to let that sister stop a little and live a good life with his childhood sweetheart.
All in all, there are too many changes caused by his butterfly effect, and if Kazuya at the beginning was still complacent about changing the plot and other things, the current Kazuya has reached the point where even if he really snatches Kyosuke's "harem" away, his face will not change and his heart will not beat.
However, remembering this, Kazuya remembered Ayase's confession to herself on the plane, and her subsequent words of "give yourself time to think". More importantly, it will also remind Kazuya of what the rest of the people who remain in Japan will think after his somewhat cowardly evasion.
The only person who knows is Shi Yu, and in the phone call before leaving, Shi Yu's tolerance and understanding have already put a heavy psychological burden on his back. On the other hand, whether it is Ying Li Li or Kato, after that emotional outburst, they actually need to adjust their mood - and they can at least help one person.
However, it was in front of such a mess that he chose to run away, although he tried to convince himself countless times that he was just adjusting his state, but whenever he thought of the gentle and somewhat tired tone in Shiyu's last phone call, whenever he thought of the expressions of Eiri and Kato looking at each other that were almost about to break up, and he didn't know what he should do.
"Brother, are you thinking about those things again?" A pair of soft little hands gently held Kazuya's hand, and Ayase appeared in front of Kazuya with a helpless and complaining face, "Didn't you promise Ayase not to think about those things?" ”
"I'm sorry, but sometimes I can't control myself when I think about these things." Kazuya quietly looked at Ayase, who was covering his hand, and pressed his other hand to Ayase's hand, and said slowly, "Moreover, those problems are the ones I have to face after all, aren't they?" ”
"Ayase knows," Ayase nodded obediently, and then, somewhat casually, "Actually, the work on the American side is about to end!" ”
Kazuya's hand curled up slightly, and she knew what it meant.
Although Ayase has never urged himself since coming to the United States, he knows that this is because Ayase knows himself too well, and for this kind of thing, Kazuya is like putting a tight spell on himself, always reminding himself that he will give his sister a deadline for replying.
Looking at Kazuya's somewhat pale expression, Ayase's face darkened, and then, biting her lip, and finally, she still asked her question with some difficulty: "That, brother, do you think that time is still too tight?" Ayase, did you do something wrong? ”
Looking at Ayase's slightly frightened expression, Kazuya remembered the sister who wanted to help him but didn't know how to be good when he was completely hiding the situation by himself in the past.
Although Ayase said some things that made Kazuya feel a little difficult to deal with, but for Kazuya, the care and concern for Ayase is almost a habit that goes deep into the bone marrow, so he habitually put his hand on Ayase's head, habitually patted Ayase's head gently, and Kazuya pretended to be indifferent and said: "It's okay, Ayase just made her own choice, there is no persecution for me, I will deal with it, whether it's your business or someone else's business." ”
Ayase looked at Kazuya, silently wrapped her hands around Kazuya's waist, tried her best to keep her body close to Kazuya's body, and said softly: "Okay, then, Ayase will look forward to her brother's reply." ”
Kazuya stretched out a hand, also hugged Ayase, and said to himself, "Yes, I will give everyone an answer." ”——
Dividing Line –
Kazuya can actually understand Ayase's mood to some extent, for this period of time, Ayase has been well-behaved like a little sheep in front of her, and has been careful not to let Kazuya worry about it, and she will not let Kazuya get angry, and this state has even affected her model's shooting work. In the end, even President Misaki had to ask Kazuya with a wry smile in private if there was any conflict between the brother and sister, and hoped that Kazuya would be able to resolve this contradiction quickly, otherwise the result of the other party's trip to the United States, which had high hopes for Ayase, would definitely not be too good.
In this regard, Kazuya can only apologize again and again. For the fact that he was nominally "accompanied" Ayase to take care of his sister, but in fact it became a manifestation of his sister to understand his feelings, and he also felt very guilty. Therefore, he also knew that if he continued to delay like this, all the situation would only get worse.
In addition, after coming to the United States, although this was more or less evasive, objectively, when he was able to get out of the huge whirlpool at that time, he still had a more or less understanding of his feelings. Therefore, for Kazuya, let him solve the problem, he only needs an opportunity now.
And this opportunity will come soon.
Although when Kazuya learned the news, he didn't know that the next situation would develop so quickly, he simply got the news that Kirino had adjusted to compete with her elementary school roommate again, and as he had predicted, Ayase still chose to watch his best friend's game under the huge pressure of President Misaki. In this case, of course, there is no room for shirk.
"Adjustment status adjustment is pretty fast, huh? I thought Ayase and I wouldn't see you until we returned home, because you looked very depressed at the time. Before the game, looking at Kirino who was constantly preparing for the activities, Kazuya said a little jokingly that he felt that if he really achieved anything when he came to the United States, then doing a good job of Kirino's psychological counseling would make up for his escape trip to the United States. Therefore, he was very happy to see Kirino adjust his condition so quickly.
"Do you think everyone is like you, and you feel sorry for yourself at home for weeks after losing a ball game?" Kirino sneered at Kazuya.
"Hey, how do you know?" Kazuya shouted angrily, of course, he still knows the culprit of this matter, looking at Ayase, who bowed her head a little embarrassed, and Kazuya, who can never lose her temper with her sister, finally touched her nose helplessly, expressing helplessness.
"So, is Kirino going to compete with his roommate this time? Confident? Seeing the somewhat awkward atmosphere, Ayase hurriedly changed the subject.
"To be honest, I don't have much confidence, after all, I haven't won against her once before, have I?"
"Is that so? But this time it must be possible, right? Ayase's expression darkened a little, in her opinion, Kirino was already an absolute genius, and Kirino had never won an opponent, which made her feel that the other party was a little too strong.
"But since we were arranged to watch the game this time, it means that at least we are more sure than before, doesn't it? As I said last time, the most important thing in the game is the mentality, and if the mentality is adjusted, Kirino still has the strength to fight, right? ”
"That's right, I'm here this time with a win-winning, but not nervous attitude! So, let's look forward to my performance, Ayase? Kirino nodded, revealing the signature smile she used to show in front of Ayase to protect others.
I have to say that the aura that Kirino exudes when he is confident is still very contagious, and even those who are used to this kind of breath are a little surprised by Kiri's state.
"And, this might be my last game before I go home, at least, I don't think I should have too many regrets before I go home, do I?" Kirino quietly looked into the distance and continued.
"Really? Are you going back home? ”
"Oh, I'm going home!"
Ayase and Kazuya replied with different reactions. Ayase was happy and a little surprised, she came to the United States, not only met Kirino, but also knew that Kirino was about to return to China and continue to attend classes with her, which made her feel very lucky.
Kazuya on the other side was much calmer, he more or less expected Kirino to do this. After all, Kirino has been insisting in the United States, relying on her own obsession, and after the obsession disappears, she won't push herself so hard, right? However, this time, no one persuaded her to return to China, and Kirino made her decision completely by herself, and the speed with which she made up her mind also surprised Kazuya very much.
In a sense, Tong is growing, relying on family and relying on friends are essentially two attitudes, a person never has to worry about the betrayal of his family, but, in the body of his friend, he has to make a little psychological preparation for the other party to abandon him. Kazuya feels that this state of not relying on his eldest brother, but discussing solutions to problems with various friends, has given Kirino some subtle changes, and whether this change is good or bad, only Kirino himself can know.
"What's wrong? You don't seem to be happy about me coming back to China, huh? Compared to the delighted Ayase, the expressionless Kazuya's reaction obviously made Kirino a little dissatisfied.
"Ah, is that so? That's congratulations on returning home. Kazuya said dryly.
"It's not sincere at all!"
"But it's true that you're back home for me no good, is it? Of course, you must say that your return to China will make Ayase happy, and then Ayase will be happy, and I will be happy, and I can't say anything in such an indirect state. Kazuya shrugged his shoulders and replied.
"It seems to be true, I can't refute it, but it's just very unpleasant!" Kirino scratched his hair, which had been tied into a ponytail for the convenience of exercise, and raised his head a little irritably.
"So not everything in the world will go your way!" And also showed a somewhat under-beaten smile.,I think it's still interesting to educate this empty-eyed girl.。
However, to his surprise, Kirino didn't retort to him with her teeth and claws as before, she was silent for a moment, and then, nodding thoughtfully, she let out a soft "um", which caught Wazuya, who was prepared for a lot of further Dharma waves, a little unprepared.
"I also know, not everything can be as I wish, I already knew!" Kirino lowered her head, clenched her fists tightly, and whispered.
"Kirino," Ayase glanced at her good friend worriedly, and then, Asahaya gave a look, as if Kazuya had done something wrong, "Brother, don't always make fun of Kirino!" ”
"Hmm, I see." I don't know where the words I said poked at Kirino's sentimentality, and Kazuya had to touch his nose to express his recognition.
"Then, Kazuya, if I win this fight, I want to say one thing to you." At this time, Kirino also raised his head, and a determined color flashed in his pupils, and he looked at Kazuya.
"Don't set up such a dangerous flag at this time!" Kazuya replied jokingly.
"Let's not say if it's a flag, promise me about this matter, no problem, right?"
Kazuya sensed the dangerous aura in Kirino's words and tried to avoid the question: "Uh, wait until you win the game, and then think about it, right?" ”
"If I'm not sure about it, I can't play." However, Kirino insisted.
"So, this flag of yours is about to break through the sky!"
"I don't care if it's a flag or not, maybe, it might not be a bad thing to fail," Kirino said softly, "So, will you promise me?" ”
looked at the determined Kirino and then looked at Ayase, who seemed to be confused beside him, and as countless times before, after the initial refusal, Kazuya finally nodded helplessly.
