"A lot of things can't be changed." Kato's words seem to be telling Kazuya about the situation that Shiyu is facing, but at the same time, it is also her own thoughts.

Compared to Shiyu, Kato Megumi's emotions are better concealed, and they are more elusive, of course, sometimes, Kato is even wondering what she is thinking, she doesn't feel that she has the more obvious expression of Shiyu and Yinglili's emotions towards Kazuya, which seems to prove that she doesn't have too many thoughts about Kazuya, at least, not that kind of strong feelings.

However, when she quit, when she wanted to maintain the unity of the community, and when she finally realized her loss, she also shed tears that surprised even herself that day. This seems to prove that Kato cares about Kazuya.

However, after that, Kato can find that he can talk to Eiri and Kazuya normally, and it turns out that it was Kato who first began to return to the normal mode of getting along with Kazuya, and even made a slight joke when Kazuya and Eiri were together.

Although it can't be said that she is a girl who is very indifferent to emotions, what makes Kato himself feel a little overwhelmed is that under the long-term performance of trying to look at everything around her with an objective attitude, Kato has become accustomed to being gentle, accustomed to being unhurried, and accustomed to being at a loss for his inner thoughts.

However, there are also occasional times when Kazuya is facing a problem and looking for help not for Eiri Ri but for himself, and when Kazuya drives away the boys around him, Kato's heart will also reveal a kind of snickering joy that makes him feel confused. Naturally, when Kato mentions Shiyu's state of mind and state, there will also be that kind of sympathy in her heart.

It's just that because I'm too good at keeping my mood calm and normal, when Kazuya looks up a little embarrassed from a speechless state, the short-lived sad expression on Kato's face has disappeared.

"So, you mean, there is no way to avoid this situation with Senior Sister Shiyu, is that so?"

"Kasumigaoka-senpai, before she said this to you, she had already thought it through, right? On the other hand, do you still not understand the situation you are facing? Kato looked at Kazuya calmly, "The so-called friendship is often such a fragile relationship, oh, when faced with a dispute of real interests, friendship may be abandoned, of course, you can expect to get back together after that, but, in that process, you obviously did not do a good job of sacrificing yourself to fulfill your precious friendship, right?" Everybody is selfish! ”

So, what about you? As he said this, Kato asked himself softly.

- Yes, I didn't have that kind of thought, so the reason for my sacrifice at that time was to restore the unity of the collective, which I cherished!

――yes, but will this opportunity still exist after February?

- After all, it's Kasumigaoka-sani and Aragaki-san! In the end, we will still get back together, and as long as there are new works to connect them, then in the process of co-creation, any problem can be solved, right?

――So, are you really that confident? Are you really sure that this confrontation will not be the beginning of the break between those two people?

- Didn't they already break up? So the problem, in the last collective creation, is still redeemed! So, as long as there's a rope that ties everyone together, that's fine, right?

――Well, you really have faith in everyone!

- Yes, I have to have faith in you!

Because, if I don't have confidence in everyone, then my dedication, my efforts, aren't they completely meaningless? Kato clenched his fists lightly, secretly calming his spirit.

"Is that so?" After listening to Kato's words, Kazuya was silent for a long time, and in the end, he nodded and clarified his thoughts, "So, for Shiyu-senpai, my all-out efforts are also a kind of respect for her, right?" ”

"So, are you stupid?" Looking at such a Kazuya, Kato secretly smiled bitterly, "For girls, at this time, what you want is not the respect of your hot-blooded stupidity, but the so-called softness!" ”

However, despite thinking so, Kato's words took a different route: "If you make up your mind, then I have nothing to persuade you!" ”――

Dividing line-

Although the conversation with Kato could not completely free Kazuya from the frustration of that confrontation, but, at least, compared to before, he still has a general understanding of the direction he wants to work towards, although he himself is not clear what the final result of this direction will be.

The good news is that at least on the way home with Ying Lili, Kazuya didn't let his girlfriend find too much abnormality. He could also listen with great interest to Ying Lili talking about all kinds of strange gossip things.

Facts have proved that even a homebody like Ying Li Li, she also has a basic ability of a girl - the ability to stop talking, and her previous conversations with Kazuya were often limited to some specific areas, but now, Ying Li Li is much more whimsical when she speaks.

"I said and also, do you know, after I came back from school this time, I found a very serious problem!"

"What's the problem?"

"That's the image of the princess I have been working hard to manage before, and now I am on the verge of collapse, too many gossipy girls squeeze around me to ask all kinds of questions, and I have to answer them with a smile all the time, my muscles are stiff now!" I don't know if it's with a show-off tone or a complaining tone, Ying Lili said with a hammer and a schoolbag.

"Isn't that very simple, just show the side of Miss Yingli Li's eldest lady, and just go crazy and drive those flies away!"

"So that's it.,Image.,I've maintained my image for almost two years.,How can I be destroyed like this.,If it's just like this, how will I defend my title next year!"

"Then don't defend the title, not to mention that this kind of selection has a hidden attitude of objectifying women and discriminating against women, the life of being elected for three consecutive years will always be as irreversible as a defeated dog!"

"Are you cursing me?" Ying Li Li cocked her nose and said, "Don't graft the situation of the heroine in your strange novel adaptation of the galgame to me-you said you did it on purpose, right?" The girl called Yukina is full of malice or something? ”

――Actually, that's a malicious setting by Marudo himself!

"Besides, according to Kasumigaoka Shiyu, I've accumulated ten years of experience in losing dogs before, and I don't want to continue this kind of defeated dog life!" Ying Li Li continued.

Of course, when he heard Shiyu's name, Kazuya's face twitched visibly.

"Well, what's wrong with her?" Seeing Kazuya's reaction, Ying Lili asked subconsciously.

"Ah, it's nothing, it's just that I feel a little uncomfortable thinking about that guy's merciless reaction yesterday." Kazuya shook his head, adjusted his mood, and said.

"I think that's probably her editor's problem, right? I guess it's inconvenient for her editor to come forward.,So I had to pull her out as a shield.-Anyway, if I had known that Machida was such a person.,I could have found a more suitable editor of other libraries from the relationship between my parents to replace that Machida.,It's a pity that Shiyu and her connection are too close now that they shouldn't be broken.。 Ying Li Li comforted Kazuya and said.

"I've heard that Machida's identity is not unusual! And I always feel that she has an overly fanatical desire to control Senior Sister Shiyu, and you can't change it if you want to change it, right? ”

"Then there's no way, right? But Kasumigaoka Shiyu is so shaky in front of other people, can you be tough in front of her editor, you are her leading writer, since there is the position of editor and writer, it is often one side that is weak, and one side is strong, you are popular now, forcibly drag the manuscript a few times and then ignore that guy, so that the other party can only beg you, then the other party's attitude must have softened, right? Now that this kind of appearance is completely mastered by the other party, I don't look good at it! ”

"Senior Sister Shiyu doesn't bother to do this kind of thing - I don't think you will do it either, that is to say!"

"Well, I won't do it, but I feel like that black long straight sick girl will do it!"

"Well, this way of referring to you somewhat unexpectedly coincides with Ayase's attributes!"

"Do you even say that your sister is sick? You're not afraid that I'll tell Ayase about this? Ying Li Li squinted at Kazuya and said with a smile.

"Although Ayase is perfect, but in many places it is easy to be overly sensitive, although she has not had any special circumstances in the recent past, but, the way she looked before, I was really scared, so, just in case, uh-Eiri pear, what are you looking at?"

Kazuya said this, while looking at the Ying Ri in front of him, his face suddenly turned blue, so, a little nervously, he didn't even say the next sentence "Just in case, so I asked Kirino to pay attention to her situation".

Of course, when Kazuya realized that Ying Lili's reaction turned around, he was suddenly extremely glad that he had pressed the knee-jerk emergency stop switch for himself at that time.

Because, Ayase was carrying a large shopping bag in her hand, and she looked at him with a blank face.

It wasn't until this time that Kazuya remembered that he still had a huge embarrassing problem that Ayase hadn't solved, and now that he encountered this situation again, it really made him a little embarrassed.

"Well, calm down, calm down, it's impossible for Ayase to eavesdrop on our conversation for a long time, with Eiriri's expression, it means that she only heard a small part of my words at most, at least Eiri Pear definitely didn't know when she mentioned Sick Jiao before, and besides, what I said can also be explained as the reason for caring about her - I do care about her!"

However, just as Kazuya was hesitating about how to talk to Ayase, he was a little surprised to find that Ayase just lowered his head and left quickly without greeting Kazuya. This also made Kazuya, who was thinking about how to explain his speech, feel that he was unable to exert another force on the cotton.

"So, nothing has happened between you and Ayase lately, right?" Ying Li Li looked at Kazuya with some suspicion.

"Well, that, of course not!" Kazuya shook his head vigorously.

――Although there is, it is absolutely a death story to say such a thing as having strange feelings for your sister, and telling your girlfriend!

"Really?" Ying Li Li nodded suspiciously, and said, "After you have a girlfriend, you can't ignore your sister, this is very important, you promised Ayase about this matter, and I also told you, it's true that I've been a little too carried away recently, so I'll remind you when necessary!" By the way, for example, the last time I went out with Kirino, do you think it would be better to tell her about the situation? ”

"Then you don't need to!" Kazuya wiped the cold sweat on his head and said, "Sometimes, it is still necessary to deceive with good intentions. ”

"Is that really the case? If you are dishonest to girls, the consequences are terrible! ”

"I've already experienced this result, but," Kazuya held his hands together and pleaded with Eiri Riri, "Don't take this as an example, I and Kirino have paid attention to this matter." ”

"Alright! Then listen to you, right? Looking at Kazuya with a sincere face, Ying Lili still nodded and said, "By the way, I received a message from Kirino last night that it was that the time for the second negotiation would be postponed for another week, do you think there will be any strange actions on the side of the Myster Library?" ”

"Won't you? After all, they don't have any big grudges with Kirino, that is, they want her novel to be rewritten and published, and there is no intention of targeting her and hindering her from publishing a book. ”

"Well, I think so too, but I was surprised that she told me about it first, but she didn't call you!"

"That guy, I guess he wants to avoid suspicion, right? But isn't it necessary to do this? Kazuya shook his head a little amusedly.

"Avoiding suspicion?" Ying Lili tilted her head.

"Well, it's nothing!" Kazuya bowed his head a little weakly, even though he felt that he didn't need to do it at all - after all, his relationship with Kirino was still very pure.

Well, since I had a girlfriend, have I been a little too nervous about my relationship with girls? Until the time when Yingli was finally sent away, Kazuya was still thinking about such a question.

However, for him, the bigger problem he is facing now should be how to deal with his sister, who was in a very embarrassing situation yesterday and heard his own inappropriate comments today.
