Repeating the practice at the time, it was the simplest approach, but it was also a well-thought-out approach for Kazuya.

Unlike when he was instigated to do so by Lunya before, this time Kazuya, the purpose of taking turns dating is not to make a choice, but to say goodbye to the best.

He already has his final answer in his heart, but if he tells everyone the answer like this, and then ends it all in the name of choice, Kazuya's heart is uneasy, and he will feel that he owes something. Therefore, taking turns dating, in Kazuya's heart, is a kind of compensation, and it is also a kind of final goodbye to the past relationship.

"It's something you're going to do, and I don't have a problem with that, but this time, what are you going to do?" Lun also looked at Kazuya, shrugged his shoulders, and asked, "It's one thing to take the specific way, but in the end, you must let yourself have no regrets, understand?" ”

"It's impossible not to have regrets, right?" Kazuya said with a wry smile, "It's really a choice for me to have no regrets, of course it's the ending of the reunion, but, the reality is not two-dimensional, for everyone, this so-called reunion, the final satisfaction is probably just my own vain thoughts, right?" So in the end, there will still be regrets, but we must do our best to minimize this regret as much as possible. ”

"Looks like you've already figured it out!"

"It's just a rough outline," Kazuya shook his head a little embarrassedly, "this time I definitely won't be stuck in time to go on a date like last time, at least I should give everyone a whole day to experience and feel it!" ”

"It's the same thing, if you want to say anything throughout the day, you should be more detailed, and if you're in a bad mood, you have a better chance of being appeased, right?"

"That's right, but I'm worried about whether they will agree to my request, after all, after I came back, I didn't talk to anyone, even after a day of classes with Kato, I didn't say a word to her, or even look at her. Not to mention the British pear over there, right? This is very troublesome! ”

"You're not going to let me invite them for you, are you? It's your own battle, Kazuya! ”

"I know, so I'm just talking to you about my ideas and asking for your support, and in the end it's better for me to figure it out myself."

"You should be fine, if you say it well, they will understand your thoughts, and they will naturally agree to your request, you want to end this, and other people think the same as you, right? So, maybe someone will take the initiative to find you and decide to sort out this relationship! ”

"You're not saying that if one person takes the lead and then everyone else will do it, do you?" Kazuya said a little teasingly, "Should I say that you really think about this matter too simply, or do you mean that your wishes are too good?" This kind of routine in galgame can't be counted! ”

"Who knows?" Lun also spread his hands and said indifferently.

"If I believe your judgment - uh, I'll answer the phone." Just as Kazuya was about to continue complaining about Lunya, his phone rang.

After looking at the name displayed on the phone for a long time, Kazuya raised his head in disbelief, and said to Lun, "Uh, what did you just say?" ”――

Dividing line-

Kazuya still remembers that before he left Japan, the last phone call was made to him by Shiyu, and now, after he returned to China, the first call was still from Kasumigaoka Shiyu.

This made Kazuya feel a little stunned, but also felt that fate really likes to play jokes on himself.

"Congratulations on returning home." On the other end of the phone, Shi Yu's voice was calm, looking like he was congratulating himself, but there was no sense of joy in his tone.

"Well, on the first day I came back, Senior Sister should be the first person to take the initiative to contact me!"

"Really? But there's no way, isn't it? Except for me, the poor guy who wasn't in the same school as you, no one else needed to make sure you were back home by calling, did they? There was a hint of ridicule in Shiyu's tone, which couldn't help but remind Kazuya of his past days when he worked with Kasumigaoka Shiyu, the days when the two were still very good friends, at that time, Shiyu's teasing of him in this way of pretending to be pitiful was already commonplace.

But now, when he heard it again, it seemed like a long, long time ago.

"Don't be so sure, except for my family and classmates, maybe not many people really know the news that I've returned!"

"Do you mean that you want me to count the people who may know that you have returned, and then confirm them one by one?" Shi Yu asked with a chuckle.

"Of course not, this time I admit defeat, Senpai."

――Of course, it seems that this kind of quarrel with Shiyu-senpai, I don't seem to have won it. Although it was nominally "admitting defeat", a trace of warmth flashed in Kazuya's heart, feeling a little familiar, and even some warm feelings, he knew that that sense of déjà vu, that kind of warmth, was what he had been enjoying before, but, slowly, for various reasons, he was abandoned by himself, or, he couldn't hold on anymore.

"Until the end, you and I quarreled, you couldn't win me once, how could your combat power be so weak!"

"This is a yellow joke! Ah, hey, you're a yellow joke! Is it? ”

"If Kazu-kun thinks I'm a yellow joke, it means that I'm not pure enough, right?"

"Sure enough, I was still eaten to death by you, and it didn't change because I came back from the United States."

"But on the other hand, but I was eaten to death by you, Kazuya-kun." On the other end of the phone, Shiyu sighed in a low voice that no one could hear.

"Uh, did you just say something?"

"Oh, I said that Kazuya-kun went to the United States and became more open-minded, and he was always able to think of Huang Duanzi at the first time, which made my sister really feel very gratified, as if watching his own children grow up, isn't it?"

"That's not what you said! Definitely not! ”

Smooth,Complaining to each other,The two of them who told each other about their recent situation,It's as if the two were as unrestrained as when they first became friends.,At that moment,And also seem to feel that he and Kasumigaoka Shiyu,Not at all scarred by the shackles of feelings.,Both of them,It's the same appearance at the beginning.,Pure.,No scars.,No flaws.。

If you can, Kazuya sincerely hopes that the dialogue between the two people can continue like this without hindrance.

But this illusion was soon shattered.

"This time, I called Kazuya-kun to say something." Shi Yu's tone became serious.

――Is there going to be a showdown? As Lun also said, Senior Sister Shiyu, may endure more pain than me, right?

"I'm listening, Sister Shiyu."

"Tomorrow, I may be going to Europe." Shi Yu said such a sentence softly, without any waves.

"I just came back from the United States, Senior Sister Shiyu, you're going to Europe in a hurry, are you deliberately avoiding me-wait a minute, Senior Sister, are you kidding?" At first, Kazuya planned to use playful words to casually deal with this heavy topic of Shiyu, but he soon realized the profound meaning behind Shiyu's words.

"Yes, go to Europe, take materials! You know, in these countries in Europe, there are always beautiful love stories happening, and for an author like me, what could be happier than going to Europe to get material? The editorial department is also very supportive of my selection of materials! ”

"No, it won't! If it's not in China, won't the supporting publicity of the senior sister's novel have to rely on the publishing house? It's—"

"It's like, exile? You want to say that, huh? ”

"That's not what I meant." Kazuya muttered.

"Don't worry so much, in fact, it's not as exaggerated as you think, it's mainly the problem of the last confession, it seems to be a bit of a big fuss, and I've been followed a lot more recently than before, so, when the library made this suggestion, Miss Machida and I both thought it was a good decision, at least we could go and avoid the limelight for a while, and when the industry cooled down about my discussion in this area, it might not be so serious - you think about it, Aragaki and the teacher's identities are confidential, In addition, you guy ran to the United States mercilessly when the scandal was at its worst, so you just happened to avoid the time when the impact of this turmoil was the greatest, and now it's my turn to run away. The pressure is going to be thrown on you! Shiyu explained her thoughts easily, but Kazuya could feel that in fact, Shiyu's true state of mind was not as easy as she said now. However, he found that he seemed to have no reason or position to stop her, and even he could not help her.

In the end, he could only reluctantly accept this fait accompli: "Then, good luck to the senior sister in Europe!" Find more inspiration, and besides, how long do you plan to stay there? ”

"It's not very clear, is it? Actually, I did submit an application for postponement of the exam, so it is not necessary that I will stay there for a long time - you know, this trip is a public tour, and if I don't stay there for a while, it will be a big loss, right? ”

"But if you stay a little longer—"

"If you stay a little longer, how should the problem with Kazuya be solved?" Shiyu said softly.

The problem was abruptly in front of the two of them, and Kazuya felt as if he was facing an insurmountable railing. When he had clearly made up his mind, was ready to solve all the problems, and was ready to explain everything to everyone, Shi Yu seemed to give himself an unsolvable problem at the first time.

"Tomorrow, Kazuya, will you go on a date with me?" Like a dream, Shi Yu asked softly, "Before I board the plane tomorrow, why don't you go on a date with me?" ”

"Dating a senpai?"

"What's the matter, isn't it okay," Shi Yu paused, and then said teasingly, "Isn't it even willing to fulfill Senior Sister's wish at the last moment?" ”

"That's not the case," Kazuya replied in a panic, "It's better to say that dating Senpai was my idea at the beginning, but now that Senpai has taken the initiative, I'm a little overwhelmed." ”

"Is that so? That's right! It turns out that you also have this idea, this time is very special, the two of us actually thought of going together, didn't we? Shi Yu was silent for a while, then quietly laughed and said.

"I thought I would rely on dating to solve all problems - I know it seems a bit nonsense to just rely on dating to solve everything, but I want to express my thoughts when I go on a date, and then give everyone a real, clear ending."

"Really? It turns out that Kazuya-kun has already thought about it! Looks like I'm worried a little too much about you! ”

"Senior Sister Shiyu? You're worrying about me, and your advice is because you're worrying about me—"

- Next, don't say any more, there are some things, in your own heart, you can know. Moreover, this time, I didn't help you, this time, you have been making your own decisions! However, Shiyu stopped Kazuya from wanting to continue talking, and said in the gentlest tone that Kazuya had ever heard, which belonged to Kasumigaoka Shiyu.

"Tomorrow, Kazuya, I hope you can actually be my boyfriend for a day, okay? It's not the kind of improvised, fake boyfriend, but real, use your sincerity to help me and care about my boyfriend, is it okay? On the other end of the phone, Shi Yu's voice continued.

"Why do you say it so desperately, as if it were a final request?" Kazuya replied somewhat reluctantly.

"So let's just say it? I hope that tomorrow's harmony is my boyfriend, if there is a chance, tomorrow will be my boyfriend, you still have to continue to be a good person, continue to fulfill your responsibilities, is this okay? ”

"Sister Shiyu-"

"Well, if that still doesn't work, let's put it another way—"

"Senior Sister Shiyu, don't say it, I know what you mean." Qiangxin suppressed the tears that flowed from his eyes, and Kazuya replied vigorously, "Just do what Senpai wants, tomorrow, let's really, date!" ”

"Hmm." On the other end of the phone, Kasumigaoka Shiyu also replied heavily.

Until the end, I am still, I have been suppressed by you to death! Hanging up the phone, Kazuya suddenly felt that his eyes were a little sore, and he stared blankly at the phone screen, he felt that he might be about to lose something.
