Chapter 332: The Last Effort
I don't know when it started, but Megumi Kato has fallen in love with the feeling of silently watching everyone, and then silently influencing and controlling the overall situation behind the scenes. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Of course, that's not to say she's the kind of person who is in control. She just saw something, and then, wanted to correct something, that's all.
She loved it. It makes her feel mature, and sometimes it reminds her of the little boy she had silently observed as a child, a little boy who was far more mature than her peers.
She thought, she must have longed for the boy's posture - from the time she was little.
Although, when she saw him again, his arrogant and confident aura was still there, but the calmness and maturity that far surpassed his peers were gone.
Of course, this is not a bad thing - it means that Kazuya is not an adult yet, which means that Kazuya still has a kind of adolescent willfulness, which is of course a good thing, if she is still as mature as a teenager, Kato will feel longing, but if it is an adult, then she will also be disgusted by this, right?
That person no longer knows how to control the field, but he still habitually controls the atmosphere, masters the rhythm, and lets the whole group move forward in the direction that he feels good. That's what she thought when she joined Blessing-Software's club.
Kazuya praised her as a perfect mood adjuster, and she gladly accepted it, because she observed everyone's emotions with a very detached attitude, and then, in a way that everyone was satisfied with, she achieved what she thought was good.
It takes a lot of skill – but Kato feels that he is not bad at all.
Except on that person.
At first, Kato felt that even if it affected the relationship, as long as he grasped it well, the result would be very good, so although she lost her temper during the date, her intention to give up was still conveyed to Kazuya, and her gesture of supporting Ying Li Li was still conveyed to her good girlfriend. Then, Kazuya naturally chose the English pear.
Kato thinks it's really good to do that. Although she may be sad, she has succeeded, and she has succeeded in achieving what she thinks is "the state that the group should be doing well".
-- That's how it should have been. Originally, it was supposed to be like this.
She thought so.
But in fact, the subsequent situation has been beyond her control.
Kazuya and Eiri will quarrel, yes, it's too normal, so, if you can't intervene in Eiriri's aspect, then, just help Kazuya solve the problem, like she has been doing before.
However, the solution of the problem in that novel made Kato realize for the first time that his own suggestions, and the results of his suggestions, might not be at all what he expected. This was also the first time that Kato had the idea that he could not do anything and wanted to give up.
Of course, the next Shiyu's intervention was even more unexpected than she expected, at that time, she could only watch helplessly as Kazuya's feelings ran wild on a track that she was unfamiliar with, and then she was very anxious, but she couldn't do anything.
Then, for some reason, this track was connected to himself, and the part of himself that he had been hiding so well was shattered and revealed to him without reservation.
Until that time, Kato still felt that this could be controlled, as long as he formed a tacit understanding with Kazuya, as long as he told the other party, he hid his feelings well, and let the other party not take these things of his own too seriously, it could be controlled.
It was Kato's last possession – but it was also a fiasco.
Looking at Ying Lili's expression of disbelief at that time, and the angry voice. For the first time, Kato developed a mood called "fear". And just when she was at a loss, Kazuya left, and he chose to escape.
Kato felt that if it weren't for his redundant trading and control, maybe the result would not be so bad.
For the first time, she realized that in this relationship, she always joined in as a self-righteous bystander, exerting her own influence, but, in fact, she was deeply involved from the beginning, and her so-called control of the atmosphere was nothing more than to let herself sink deeper and deeper, and make the situation more and more chaotic.
Therefore, now she knows: she is no longer willing to let the so-called environment and feelings develop according to her own wishes, she feels that she should work hard according to her heart.
But she also knew, probably, that it was too late. From the time she knew that Shiyu was leaving, she felt that it might be too late.
But even so, she has to make the last effort, the last, not for the collective, but simply, for her own efforts.
---------------------------- Dividing Line-------------------------------
Shi Yu's departure is not without waves among everyone, and even has had a very obvious effect. Although she left very secretly, the people of Blessing-Software, who had worked with her before, quickly learned the news of Shiyu's departure. Of course, the same goes for Ayase, who knows Kazuya's itinerary the most among everyone.
What exactly Kasumigaoka Shiha's departure means, everyone knows very well. They are also clearly aware that Kazuya came back this time with a certain awareness. However, it was precisely because of Shi Yu's departure that everyone trembled a little.
If it wasn't herself, wouldn't it be best if she didn't end up disappearing like her?
Even Ayase, who is closest to Kazuya now, will be a little distracted when preparing Kazuya's bento, and even, showing a wry smile in front of Kazuya: "My brother said that he would solve the problems one by one, but if Ayase is also the object of his brother's refusal, what should Ayase do now?" Can Ayase still be her brother's sister obediently? It's impossible, right? ”
And at this time, Kazuya suddenly felt that he was speechless about Ayase's words, and even, he had an urge to run away again. Of course, this time, the firm belief in his heart stopped him from doing this, and he knew that if he escaped this time, the result would be irreparable.
Moreover, Shi Yu's departure objectively forced him to carry out his ideas. If you continue to maintain this ambiguous and painful relationship with other girls when Shiyu leaves, it is even more irresponsible to Shiyu, and she also knows this.
Therefore, in the face of Ayase's unintentional questions, he only touched Ayase's head at most and said: "In my heart, Ayase will always be a sister, and I will always protect Ayase, and this will not change because of any other answer." ”
Ayase nodded lightly as if she had been comforted by something, and then continued to think as if nothing had happened.
And for Kazuya, the biggest problem now is not how to express his thoughts to the girls - but how to propose his own envisioned date invitations to them, because, at this point, no one is sure that a date invitation may be a delicious dessert, but of course, it may also be a last supper.
"It would be nice if we could decide everything before Senior Sister Shiyu left." When there were only two people left in the audio-visual classroom, Kazuya and Lun also complained.
"It's not a bad thing to invite now, at least, if the other party agrees to your invitation, it means that the other party is mentally prepared, so, even now, you won't tell me, who to choose in the end?"
"I just don't want you to say something after hearing about my choice, just affect my judgment. You don't want to do that, right? ”
"So, I can assume that your final choice is not in line with my inclination, is it?" Lun also looked at Kazuya seriously and asked.
"So, sometimes your reflexes are too sharp, Lunya."
"Really? From my point of view, I originally thought that she still had a chance to win, but in the end, is it still the most important thing to have a long-term relationship? Lun also said to himself, "Then, Kazuya, you have to reject her well." Because, she is the heroine I have always admired! ”
"So, I don't like your sharp judgment." Kazuya turned his head away, pretending not to understand Lunya's words, and did not give the other party a clear answer.
And Lun also saw Kazuya's reaction, and only sighed, unwilling to explain more.
-------------------------------- Dividing Line--------------------------------
Of course, this conversation with Lun Ye objectively made Kazuya make up his mind to invite. Now, in addition to Ayase, who can also talk to him normally, Kato's neighbor should still be the best breakthrough. After all, although the two sides still seem to be in a cold war - but this cold war does not stem from an emotional misunderstanding between the two sides, but more of an embarrassment that neither side knows how to deal with the other.
And this embarrassment, Kazuya decided, to break it with his own hands.
"Yo, Kato!" When Kazuya pressed almost his whole body on Kato's table and spoke to her, he simply felt that he was a huge villain, but Kazuya felt that this was the best way to get Kato's attention.
"Aragaki-san, you are now occupying the space of my desk and blocking me from reading." Kato's brows furrowed slightly, and then, Jean Kazuya felt that he hadn't heard it for a long time, the cold, but very calm voice sounded.
"That's what I'm trying to do, if it's just a simple conversation, I think, Kato, you're going to refuse to talk to me, right?"
Under what conditions did Aragaki come to this conclusion? I don't think I'm refusing you for any reason. ”
Kato's reaction was a little unexpected by Kazuya, and now Kato, although the tone of his speech is still flat, Kazuya always feels that there are some frozen feelings in her words that make him feel intimidating. That kind of feeling is not the kind of sarcasm that Shi Yu used to make to him before, but another kind of coldness and indifference from the heart.
But she still agreed to talk to herself—and that's a big plus.
"If you don't refuse me? But this must have been the first time the two of us had spoken since I came back, right? ”
"That's naturally because you didn't talk to me, and I don't have anything to say to you, the answer is as simple as that." Kato moved his chair back slightly with some resistance, "So, since Aragaki-san's talk to me today, I naturally agreed." ”
"Hey, hey, I left the United States before, and now that I'm back, don't you have any questions you want to ask? Even if you don't have any questions you want to ask, if you come back from the United States, you should have the most basic care as a friend, right? ”
"Originally," Kato nodded, "but Aragaki-san's social network is abundant, and you will be surrounded by other classmates as soon as you get out of class, so I don't think it's useful for me to say 'you're back' to you." Besides, we all know the reasons why you don't leave to go to the United States, so you don't need to be so secretive, right? ”
"I don't like the tone of your speech," Kazuya glanced at Kato with some irritation, and finally decided not to dwell on this matter with the other party, "Okay, now I'll just say what I think?" After I came back from the United States this time, I thought a lot, and I thought I should give you a result for some questions, so, Kato, can you please go on a date with me? ”
Kazuya's eyes were on Kato's face, and for him, of course, he could not guarantee that Kato would agree to his invitation—and in fact, it seemed that he had no reason for Kato to agree to him, except for his own strong desire. Therefore, now he feels extremely nervous, and every second he waits seems to be as long as a century.
Kato looked at the book in his hand seriously, as if he wanted to stuff his whole person into the book. She didn't answer Kazuya.
Then, just when Kazuya felt that there was no hope left, she raised her head and stared into Kazuya's eyes as well.
Kato's brown pupils didn't show any emotion, and she nodded dryly, "Yes." ”
As if liberated, Kazuya's whole body relaxed, and he leaned against Kato's desk a little bit of detachment.
"However, I have one condition." Kato's voice came again.
"I say yes." And also responded weakly.
"It won't bother Aragaki too much, I just hope that I can choose a place to go on a date, is that okay?" Somewhat solemnly, Megumi Kato looked up. She closed the book in her hand and said as if in prayer.
At that time, Kazuya, who promised Kato, still didn't know what Kato's current expression meant.
