It's not like Kiyoshi Uesugi hasn't experienced being confessed.

But it's the first time I've been confessed with such momentum.

He instinctively wanted to refuse, but when I saw Nohara's apricot pear blossom with rain, I saw a pitiful and tear-stained face, and thought of her miserable life, and my heart was soft for no reason, and some words were stuck in my throat and couldn't speak.

He has a relatively rich life experience, and he can empathize with others and think about problems from the perspective of others.

For example, now, when he thinks about it, if he puts himself in the position of Kyoko Nohara, it is not difficult to understand the choice she made.

Could this be a little lamb that has been silent for a long time, a once-in-a-lifetime outbreak?

Uesugi Kiyoshi has some good feelings for Nohara Kyoko, but it's only some good feelings.

Nohara Apricot is not as unbearable as she thinks, she looks very cute, her figure is explosive, her personality is docile like a little sheep, her cooking skills are not bad, she is a template for a good wife and mother, and it is estimated that she is also a good candidate for a wife in the minds of many men.

But Uesugi Kiyoshi really doesn't have the idea of who to date right now, and falling in love is not in his life plan for the next five years.

So, he was also in a dilemma.

Accept... He wasn't mentally prepared - he had only known Kyoko Nohara for a day, and it was impossible to pull out something that was love at first sight.

Love at first sight in this world is just an elegant way of saying it.

If he refused, he always felt that he would become a sinner.

That's... Drag it out?

At least get rid of the mirage on her first.

Well... Organize your language well.

Uesugi Kiyoshi's hesitant expression was fully seen by Nohara Kyoko who raised her head and peeked, her expression slowly became gloomy, and her fingers pinching the corners of her clothes were so hard that they turned white, she was not a stupid person, she knew that she was probably going to be rejected.

The first and last light in her life was snuffed out, and what was left of her?

Forget it, so be it.

It doesn't matter if I'm bullied, it's okay if I'm bullied, it's okay to go back to that horrible home, it's my fate anyway, and it's useless to resist.

The confession that finally mustered up the courage was rejected by Uesugi-kun, and it is a matter of course.

Nohara Kyoko is not very sad, but a little relieved, in the past two days, she has been suffering from gains and losses, and she has a secret affection for Uesugi Kiyoshi, and now that the thoughts in her heart have been cut off, she is a little more relaxed.

She forced a smile, wiped her tears with her sleeve, and spoke hoarsely.

"Embarrassing Uesugi-kun... I'm so sorry. ”

"It's my wishful thinking, I... I..."

She wanted to say, "I'm leaving."

But the unwillingness and reluctance in her heart made her words turn into vague whimperes.

Uesugi Kiyoshi had a terrible headache, looking at Nohara Kyoko's appearance, and felt a little distressed and pity, he hurriedly bent down and gently grabbed Nohara Kyoko's hand to prevent her from running away in excitement - she has a history of escaping.

"Nohara-san, I haven't answered you yet."

He thought carefully and tried to respond with gentle words.

"I received your wishes, Nohara-san, you don't have to be so inferior, in my opinion, you are no worse than other girls."

"You are very cute, your cooking skills are also great, your personality is good, and your grades are also at the top of your class, you will have a more exciting life in the future, you will meet better men, and you will have more choices."

"You're going to have a crush on me now, it's just because I saved you, that's nothing, Nohara-san, for me, it's a matter of effort."

"I don't want you to make such an impulsive decision out of gratitude, Nohara, you deserve better, I'm not as good as you think."

The last sentence of Uesugi Kiyoshi is sincere - he never thinks that he is a good person, nor does he think that he is very good, his character is called hard work and perseverance when it is good, and it is smelly and hard when it is bad, and the things he decides rarely change because of the opinions of outsiders.

Kyoko Nohara, who was originally desperate, heard Uesugi Kiyoshi say this, and muttered in a low voice.

"No, no, I'm not impulsive."

"I like Uesugi-kun, Uesugi-kun is very nice and gentle with me, and I feel very relieved when I follow you."

"When I see you smiling, I will be happy, and I will feel that the world has changed a little bit better."

"I... I like Uesugi-kun..."

Nohara Kyoko muttered this sentence repeatedly, her eyes were no longer serious, and she could be called pious.

Uesugi Kiyoshi sighed in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face.

"That's right, I see."

"Nohara-san, we haven't known each other for a long time, I received your confession, and I need to think about it for a while."

"Let's start as friends, get to know each other, spend some time, and then face the problem again, okay?"

"At that time, if Nohara-san still insists on what he thinks now, I'll give you a response."

"Do you think that's okay?"

Nohara Kyoko looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi blankly, as if she was infected by that somewhat warm smile, and nodded subconsciously.

She silently recited the word "friend" in her heart, and for some reason, she felt a little happy like an amnesty.

That's fine.

Such... Isn't it okay to stay by Uesugi-kun's side for a while?

Seeing that Nohara Kyoko finally nodded, Uesugi Kiyoshi breathed a sigh of relief, he said that these words are more tiring than practicing swords all night, girls are made of water, and they don't stop crying!

Anyway, let's deal with the past here, Nohara Kyoko's mood is very unstable, and she may be haunted by evil spirits, and he doesn't want to stimulate her now.

Of course, he didn't plan to be a scumbag who cheated on girls' feelings, and he also had to spend some time thinking about whether he really had feelings for Nohara Kyoko - he was really a little distressed when he saw her crying just now, and he didn't know if it was the man's natural pity for the jade, or if this little white rabbit had left an indelible shadow in his heart.

If he understands his heart and thinks that he really likes Kyoko Nohara, then it is a natural thing to dating.

His concept of mate selection has also been mentioned, Nohara Kyoko may not be able to help him in his career, but she will definitely be a good wife, her docile and weak temperament is very likable, at least Uesugi Kiyoshi does not hate it.

Seeing that Nohara Kyoko's mood gradually stabilized, Uesugi Kiyoshi continued to ask.

"That's... Can you tell me about it now? ”

"Strange things you've encountered?"

Kyoko Nohara sat on the chair with a twist, she was originally shy about the bold move just now, but after listening to Uesugi Kiyoshi's words, her shame basically turned into fear.

She looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi with some horror, and told Uesugi Kiyoshi about the strange things that happened last night.

After Uesugi Kiyoshi listened, many conjectures flashed through his mind, but he couldn't come to a definite conclusion.

Headless gods? What is that?

Mechanical worship? Sounds like a reaction after falling into the ghost realm, what kind of illusion did you fall into?

Well.... It's hard for ordinary evil ghosts to do this, and there's no need to do it, ghosts want to kill people, and if they kill them, why should they let him worship the gods?

What's even stranger is that listening to Kyoko Nohara, she shouldn't have fallen into the ghost domain, otherwise I'm afraid she would have met with an accident a long time ago.

Other words...

Some evil spirits can appear in the real world?

Uesugi Kiyoshi's expression was a little solemn, he frowned, and suddenly turned to Kyoko Nohara.

"It's hard for me to make an accurate judgment just by saying that."

"Nohara, if you don't mind..."

"How about I go to your house after school today and disturb you for a while?"

"Think of it as a visit between friends."

Of course Kyoko Nohara doesn't mind!

With Uesugi Kiyoshi by her side, her fear of her uncle's strange actions has also diminished a little.

Uesugi-kun will protect me!

Kyoko Nohara believes so.
