Kazuya holds Kato in both hands, and when Eriri speaks, he can't even make body language that wants to hold the other person or show his attitude.

He could only watch the tears welling up from his eyes and listen to the continuous sobbing sound of the young pear.

"Why? If you have an idea at first, just say it, right? Megumi too, Kazuya too, but why don't you say it? Why do you have to say it until everyone feels like it's going to be resolved? No one is going to blame you, right? However, why is this happening? ”

Kato had already broken free from Kazuya's embrace and slowly stood up, looking at Eiri Pear silently.

"I'm ready, if I lose to Kasumigaoka Shiyu, I'm ready, but if I lose like this, I'm not convinced, not only me, that guy, will also think like this, right?"

"Ying Ri Pear-" Kato wanted to interrupt Ying Ri Li, however, Ying Ri Li's sad eyes turned around, but her momentum fell.

"-I know what Megumi is trying to say, you want to say that you weren't going to compete or anything in the first place, right? However, looking at the current situation, will you still stick to your ideas? ”

Kato looked at Eiri Riri, trotted a few steps to distance himself from Kazuya, and finally lowered his head and did not continue to speak.

He didn't dare to look at Ying Lili, because, whenever he saw Ying Lili's eyes on him, that sad, begging, and lost look seemed to drown him and made him breathless.

"So, is it all my fault?" Kazuya muttered to himself.

Yes, it's all my fault. Kazuya nodded affirmatively.

From the beginning, every step of the way, I looked like I was trying very hard, but I was just "seemingly" trying, I wasn't helping anyone, I was just asking for help, I wasn't dealing with anything, I was just, I was just doing what other people were thinking.

Kazuya Aragaki, after all this time, your attitude towards feelings has not changed! The choice made by being forced will eventually turn into irreparable consequences! Kazuya raised his head and said to himself helplessly.

Kazuya looked at Eiri and Kato on the other end and continued to say something, however, he couldn't hear what the other party was saying, because, he felt that he couldn't do anything about it, and he had been doing actions according to other people's scripts since the beginning, and after the script decided by others collapsed, he didn't know what to do.

Kazuya felt that maybe all he needed was a safe haven. Whether it's escaping reality or escaping oneself, Kazuya now just needs an environment where he doesn't have to keep thinking.

"There's only one such environment, right?" Kazuya looked at his hands with a wry smile, as if there was some sin on them.

"If you can't survive this time, then Ayase will have to come and help without permission."

Ayase's words appeared in Kazuya's mind.

Indeed, this time, I can't get through it, and I don't need Ayase to help you without permission, maybe, this time, it's me who took the initiative to ask for help! Kazuya muttered softly-

Dividing line-

Kazuya lay quietly on his sister's lap, and he didn't know how long he had been in this position.

When he stumbled in the door, Ayase didn't ask him what was going on, she just helped Kazuya to lie on the sofa very intimately, of course, I don't know when, Kazuya found that her head was raised and placed on Ayase's lap.

In the past, Kazuya may have had a headache for Ayase's somewhat ambiguous action, but now, he can only feel a feeling of healing in his heart.

In the past, Ayase would be very worried about his own affairs.,Will ask hard when he shows a depressed expression.,Try to help yourself.,Although he doesn't hate Ayase like this.,But,Such a sister,Sometimes he feels that his self-esteem is despised.,So,And will also support himself in front of Ayase.。

However, the current Ayase did not show the posture of the previous camp, but just quietly looked at Kazuya, quietly, and gave Kazuya a sense of security and stability in her own way, which made Kazuya have the idea of confiding.

"Ayase, I remember what you said, right? If I can't make it anymore, I can come to you, right? ”

"Well, but I remember, the original words should be, if my brother can't hold on, Ayase will help you without permission!" Ayase nodded, seriously correcting Kazuya's statement.

"Well, you must remember it better than I do!" Kazuya shook his head indifferently and struggled to get up from Ayase's lap.

However, Ayase gently pressed Kazuya's head and said, "Before I say this, brother, I won't allow you to get up!" ”

"Really?" Ayase's expression didn't look firm, she was just persuading, she was just simply suggesting, however, looking at such a clean expression, Kazuya really didn't have any idea of trying hard.

"I feel, wasn't Ayase like this before? Ayase before was more anxious, wasn't she? ”

"But now that's my true character, right? Before, I was just a little messed up because I cared too much about my brother's affairs, and my brother didn't like that, right? Ayase blinked and replied.

"It's not that I don't like it, it's just that I feel a little too constrained."

"That's right, actually, what my brother likes, it's definitely not that Ayase, right?"

"However, in fact, all Ayase are one, and there will be some constraints, but Ayase is still my sister in the end, and no brother will not like his sister completely, right?"

"Yes." Ayase nodded, her brow furrowed in an invisible arc.

"So, my brother can say it, right? What the hell happened? My brother knows, it's Ayase, but in fact, it's only Ayase, and no matter what time it is, I'll stand behind my brother, right? ”

"Probably, you're right, right?" Kazuya looked at Ayase stunned for a long time, and finally, with a mixed expression, nodded-

Dividing line-

"So, my brother thinks, what do you want to do now?" After listening to Kazuya's narration, Ayase's expression did not change at all, she just continued to look at Kazuya quietly, waiting for Kazuya's answer.

"I don't know, because I don't know, I want to ask you for help, right?" Kazuya shook his head and replied. Now he and Ayase sit face to face at opposite ends of the table, just like the interviewer and the interviewee - Kazuya didn't feel the need at first, but Ayase's insistence made it worthwhile.

"Let's sort things out!" Ayase nodded lightly and continued, "Now, can my brother quickly make a choice between the three of them?" ”

"It seems bad to say that, but it really can't."

"Yes, no," Ayase closed her eyes, as if she was thinking about something, and then, she opened her eyes and continued to ask, "So, can my brother guarantee that after making his own choice, there will be no harm to others, or at least minimal harm?" ”

"If we can do that, I think this problem can be much simpler, right?" Kazuya, as always, showed a wry smile and said.

"So, does my brother now know how to choose between senior sisters?"

"I used to think that if you choose between Ying Lili and Shiyu Senpai, there are many ways, maybe as long as you feel it slowly, communicate slowly, you can experience your own heart, right? It's just that now, maybe it's gone, because there's really no way, and I think that if it's this kind of slow communication and interaction, sooner or later I'll be forced to collapse. Perhaps, before I understand my inner thoughts, I will be overwhelmed by that tangled feelings and other people's feelings, right? ”

"yes, I know, the feeling of being overwhelmed by emotional overload." Ayase nodded and said in understanding.

Why did Ayase understand the so-called "emotional overload and overwhelmed", Kazuya didn't know, he didn't care, he was completely overwhelmed by the problems he was facing now, and he was no longer able to pay attention to some small details of Ayase's words.

"And, if they do this, they will be even more miserable - or rather, the pain has started before, even without Kato, Eiri and Shiyu will always work hard in their own doubts when they don't know if they have a chance, and finally be crushed by their own psychological pressure, right?"

Ayase's worried eyes looked at Kazuya, and this time, she didn't speak.

Kazuya's speaking attitude slowly calmed down, and he continued with a detached calm attitude: "So, now it's a dead end, and I can't make a choice in the short term, but if we want to make a choice in the long term, we all will collapse." I'm sorry, Ayase, the first time I asked you to help, this kind of problem, completely, it's an unsolvable problem! ”

"yes, it looks like there's no solution." Ayase said softly, "So, since there is no solution, why don't you relax a little?" ”

"Relax?" Kazuya looked up and looked at Ayase in shock, and then, he noticed that his sister's eyes flashed with a strange light that he didn't understand why.

"Yes, it's just relaxing, although escaping is a very bad choice, but if you do, it won't be so painful, right?" Ayase stood up, slowly walked to Kazuya's side, and hugged Kazuya's head.

Kazuya looked at Ayase in a daze, not knowing what she was going to say.

"A few days ago, the president told me that the company had a shooting arrangement in the United States, saying that it had a cooperation with a certain magazine in the United States."

"Do you want to go?" Kazuya listened in amazement to this somewhat unexpected news.

"I told my mom and dad that they meant, I can't go alone."

"So, what do you mean?" Kazuya somewhat understood Ayase's thoughts.

"Well, my thoughts are," Ayase said in a hesitant voice, "doesn't my brother think it's awkward to meet with the seniors now?" So, isn't it okay to be able to find a place that is free from distractions and then calm down and think about it? If you stay here, it will definitely affect your thinking, so going to the United States is a better choice, right? ”

"Indeed, that's true!" Kazuya lowered his head and said with a complicated expression.

"Yes, yes, and with my brother's grades, even if I take a month or two off, it won't affect too much, right? After all, whether it's directly applying for the school's guarantee qualification, or applying for the special student qualification for football, it's easy, isn't it? Seeing Kazuya, she was a little relieved, and Ayase explained even more excitedly.

"Have you been brewing this idea for a long time?" Looking at Ayase, who was a little excited, Kazuya frowned and asked suspiciously.

"Ah, no," Ayase's excited expression calmed down a little, "Although I've been thinking about letting my brother accompany me to the United States, the idea of letting my brother go to the United States to take a break was only just now, and it's really like this." ”

Looking at Ayase, who was a little nervous, Kazuya's face pulled a relaxed expression: "It's nothing, I'm just asking." ”

"Eun, if my brother didn't want to, Ayase wouldn't have come up with this idea." Ayase nodded vigorously, and Kazuya couldn't help but laugh softly.

"Okay, I know, I don't have to be so sensitive to these things in the future, do I? I'm not the Great Demon King! ”

"Yes, it's my brother!" Ayase nodded sweetly.

That kind of gentle smile suddenly gave He a sense of healing.

"Perhaps, it's not bad to go to the United States with Ayase to relax!" Kazuya thought so.

"If we go to the United States, we can also go to Kirino! She hasn't contacted us in a long time! Receiving Kazuya's affirmative answer, Ayase immediately jumped for joy.

Kazuya also smiled softly, but if you look closely, you can see that there is still a trace of helplessness in his smile.
