Perhaps,The image of the girl with two ponytails before,Every expression on her face is very understandable,Has been deeply rooted in Kazuya's heart,Although there are quarrels,Although there is still no sign of reconciliation,But some things will not change。

For example, the reality of childhood sweethearts, and for example, the image of a girl who is a little tsundere in my impression, but whose emotional expression is extraordinarily fiery.

However, when the long blonde hair was just fixed by a blue bun and just like that supple on Ying Riri's shoulders, Kazuya felt that something might have collapsed in his own heart, or in Ying Riri's heart. The things that brought him or missed him, or left a deep impression on his heart, are gone.

The young pear who put her hair down lacks the usual pride and youthful atmosphere, and has a little more maturity, and who brought this maturity can no longer be clear.

Therefore, when Ying Li Li stood in front of the door of the audio-visual classroom, seriously declaring that "between me and Kazuya, there can only be one person left", and Kazuya could only stand there stunned, looking at Ying Li's declaration, at a loss.

The first to react to this situation was still Kato, she stepped forward, I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, just in the middle of Kazuya and Eiri Riri's line of sight, and said: "If Eiri leaves the company, I will leave the same way, which is the same logic as when Aragaki left." ”

"Oh, really?" Ying Lili turned her head away, lowered her voice, and said, "But I'm not the same as He, if you want to leave, you won't be able to threaten me!" And, if you leave with Kazuya, you're probably still trying to save it, right? But you can't do anything if you leave with me, can you? ”

For the first time, Eiriri's sharp words made Kato a little unsure of how to deal with it.

Through Kato's body in front of him,And also looking at such a pear pear,The feeling of rupture in my heart has become more and more heavy.,I don't know when it started.,Pear pear's way of thinking about problems began to become more thorough.,I don't know when it's started.,Pear pear is no longer the object that can be deceived by other people's casual jokes or a little trick.。 The changes brought about by maturity appeared more clearly in her.

And now, even Kato can't easily convince Eiri Riri.

Just when Kato fell silent, Len also became the next force to try to convince Eiri Riri: "Eiri Riri, to be honest, until now I don't know what really happened between you and Kazuya. But, from my point of view, I hope you can solve the problem as soon as possible, you are the best artist I have ever met-"

"In the end, is it only my talent for drawing that Len values?" Ying Li Li looked at Lunya with some indifference, which startled Lunya, who was not so good at expressing his thoughts in this regard, "But what would you think if I told you that I haven't painted for two months now?" It's not that I don't want to draw, it's that I don't know how to draw. ”

"Two months?" Lun also glanced at Kazuya in some surprise, and Kazuya had to return him with a wry smile.

"So, it's not something that can be solved at all, or rather, I'm here to solve this problem now." Ying Li Li slowly walked in front of Kazuya, lowered her head gently, looked at Kazuya, who didn't know what to say, and said.

Kazuya also understood what Ying Li Li meant, stood up, looked at the others who were watching the two of them, glanced at Ying Li Li again, and said, "I understand, next, let's talk about it alone, right?" ”――

Dividing line-

The sports club that has just started school is not fully ready to resume activities, so although there are a few students in Toyonosaki's playground who are playing football after school, more people have become temporary homebound members, which also makes Eiri and Kazuya walking on the playground not noticed by too many people - even if they do, they probably think that this well-known couple in the school did not choose to step on the road, but chose to step on the playground as an alternative way of dating?

"Do you feel like we're going to see each other only once a month right now, and then every time we meet, we have to analyze the strange combination of emotions that are going to happen right now?" Ying Lili first shook her hair and said. But it seems that she doesn't usually have long hair, and she is not very smooth in the movement of throwing her hair with one hand, so she can only try one more time.

And this kind of embarrassing little action also reminded him of the somewhat clumsy side of Ying Lili before, and also made him smile a little knowingly.

In the past, this little ridiculous expression would make Ying Li Li become a little anxious, or make her hurriedly deny that her action just now was due to a mistake, but this time, looking at Kazuya's smile, Ying Li Li also just nodded lightly and generously admitted: "I don't often do this action, and I'm not proficient!" ”

"Hmm, do it a few more times, maybe you can use it when you draw in the future?"

"Didn't you say that? I guess I can't draw it, right? Ying Li Li raised her head, looked at the sky, and said with some resignation.

"Don't give up hope!"

"yes, don't give up hope, do you?" Ying Li Li repeated this sentence and said, "Then Kazuya, do you think I still have a chance?" ”

And he also understands what Ying Lili means, but it is precisely because he understands that he doesn't know what kind of answer he should give the other party.

"Of course, of course I know that there is hope, but maybe there is still a lot of hope!" Ying Li Li said calmly, "I'm still very confident in myself, although I'm not at ease, but sometimes I'm very happy to think about it, after all, Kazuya chose me, didn't I?" Anyway, I won that battle, didn't I? ”

Kazuya was still silent and looked at Eiri Riri.

"But it's because I know that there is hope, so I think, what if this hope is gone? Therefore, it is better to simply talk about the problem. ”

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Kazuya said helplessly.

"That's because I don't want the two of you to be so entangled, let me have hope, and you don't know how to decide, so it's better to just say that there was a meeting, okay?" Ying Lili changed into a slightly lighter expression and said.

"However, this is definitely not the best outcome for you."

"Na, Kazuya," Ying Lili raised her head, looked at Kazuya seriously, and asked, "The first time I quarreled, I took the initiative to give up the opportunity, and the second time I quarreled, it was you who took the initiative to give up the opportunity." So, when we gave up the opportunity to reconcile, did we all choose the best outcome? ”

Kazuya nodded, he seemed to understand the meaning of Ying Lili.

"yes, we're all stupid! Obviously, any time, as long as you tolerate a little bit, maybe the problem will not be so complicated, but the temper of two people, at a critical time, can't be restrained! Why do you think that's why? ”

"I see."

However, Ying Lili didn't pay attention to Kazuya's hint that it could be over, and continued to say to herself: "That's because, whether it's you or me, you're not the kind of person who can use your reason to control your emotions forever, the two of us are actually very emotional people, aren't we?" But only enough emotion can make you a good author, and can make your mood express in words and paintings, isn't it? So, now, I want to do another emotional move! ”

"Of course, although the decision itself is a bit emotional, but the approach should not be too emotional, and you have noticed that I changed my hairstyle, right? Change your hairstyle, this is the result of a lot of thought! Although I don't know if it's conventional.,The hairstyle with a double ponytail always gives people that kind of arrogance.,A little inconsiderate in doing things.,A little casual in speech -- although this is the situation in the game.,But it seems to be pretty much the same on me -- it feels pretty bad.,So,If you change to long hair with a shawl.,Naturally, it can give people a sense of maturity.,Isn't it? ”

"Indeed, it has become a lot more mature."

"That's right," Ying Lili nodded with some satisfaction, "That's the point, even Kazuya feels a lot more mature, so it's probably like that, so, after 'maturing a lot', do you still think that I'm a little too arbitrary?" ”

"So, break up?"

"Kazuya, what do you think?" However, at the last moment, Ying Lili flinched, she had been very firm, and her face showed a somewhat hesitant color, but she still squeezed out a serious smile and said.

"What do I think?"

"Aha, I'm sorry, but in the end, I'm still scared! Obviously, I won the battle, I won it myself, and I still have a great chance, but it is still very difficult to give up in the end! Ying Lili looked at her trembling hands in a daze, and said, "Na, Kazuya, tell me an answer!" Give me a little courage, okay? ”

――I don't want to give you the courage to break up, I want to give you the courage to persevere with me.

At that moment, the idea in Kazuya's heart was almost on his lips, however, at this time, Kazuya was a little frightened to find that the image of Shiyu suddenly appeared in his mind.

Not long ago, Kasumigaoka Shiyu's arrogant declaration of war clearly appeared in his mind.

If, like this, tell Ying Lili about his current mood, is it another harm to Senior Sister Shiyu? Obviously I've been talking to her before.,Obviously told him that he would explain this matter to Ying Lili.,And then make a real break.,If you just tell Ying Lili here to start over.,Then,Isn't it unfair to Shi Yu?

Obviously, I still have the potential to be a scumbag! Kazuya shook his head and gave up on the idea with a wry smile.

He found that he could no longer be ruthless to continue to hurt Shiyu, that arrogant enough woman, when she took off the mask of real arrogance in front of her, and used her most sincere way to show her determination to compete in the open, Kazuya had already realized that the days when she could endure the pain in her heart and hurt each other as in the past were gone.

――So, can I only do harm to the current Ying Lili?

Kazuya looked at Eri Riri, who had a variety of complicated expressions mixed with expectation, fear, and abandonment in her eyes, and became even more hesitant.

――That's impossible, right? This is a British pear.,Even if you make up your mind.,Even if you change your image.,Even if,Really Ying Li Pear is no longer the girl in my impression.,But,The fact that she's Sawamura Ying Li.,It hasn't changed.,And as long as she's a British pear.,Then she's still the girl she likes.。 For such a pear pear, and can not do harm in any way.

Many things have been done once, and it will be much easier to do them the second time, but if you have done some things once, you definitely don't want to do them a second time, such as the rupture shown in that decisive way.

At this time, if Shiyu is here, what will she say to Ying Lili? Kazuya suddenly thought of a very funny question.

"Miss Sawamura, if you make a decision to give up right here, I'll be very sad too!"

That's right, probably she would have said such scrappy words, right?

Wait a minute? Kazuya looked up in surprise, and the voice just now seemed to be Shiyu himself appearing here.

And his judgment was not wrong, Shi Yu, who was dressed in purple early spring casual clothes, was striding in the direction of the two.

"I thought it would be fun to wait for someone to show up at the school gate, but it doesn't feel like it fits my style after all, does it?" Shiyu spread his hands helplessly, walked in front of Kazuya and Yingli Lili, and said, "So, a certain blonde defeated dog who has been a blonde defeated dog for a long time, once trampled the rest of us as defeated dogs, but it seems that in the end, he still has to choose to turn himself into a blonde defeated dog." It seems to me that if you throw in the towel without going head-to-head with me, I'm going to get bothered, isn't it? ”
