In retrospect, why did I say such things at that time, was it just that I was surprised by the abnormality of my predecessors? Or is it just curiosity?

It seems that something is wrong, why did my predecessors make me aware of this, after all, is it my own will that asks this sentence?

"Kato-senpai, what's going on?"

"Huh? It's Miyazono-san, I'm sorry, I just seemed to be in a daze. ”

"It's okay, it's okay."

Probably sensing that he was not in a state, the blonde violinist did not ask anything, but instead asked something else.

"By the way, Kato-senpai, I just heard that Sawamura-senpai is going to Nasu Highlands for retreat?"

Kaoru is not surprised by the news he received, because this matter is no longer a secret.

"Well, yes, if you are here, there will be no inspiration, after all, the heroine is me."

"Ahaha......"

Listening to Kato's seemingly self-deprecating words, Kaoru smiled a little awkwardly.

"I don't think it's Kato-senpai's fault, it's just that Sawamura-senpai suddenly wants to work hard in a different place."

"Maybe."

"But there was a slight surprise."

"Accident?"

"yes."

Leaning on the coffee table and holding his cheeks, Kaoru said, "Kaoru, who looked like he was chatting in every way:

"The seniors would release people so easily, I thought he would definitely stop Sawamura-senpai, after all, I went to retreat so far away, if something goes wrong, it's not easy to take over here......"

“......”

Kato was silent, not because there was anything wrong with Kaoru's words, but she suddenly thought about what the blonde violinist in front of her, as a junior who was treated especially by Luo's seniors, would think.

If it were her, would she be able to understand Senior Luo?

"What's wrong? Kato-senpai, keep looking at me? ”

"No, Miyazono-san, there's something I want to ask you."

“...... What the? ”

Maybe I've never seen Kato ask himself so seriously, Kaoru suddenly felt a little nervous.

"It's about Sawamura-san, and Luo-senpai."

“...... Sure enough, it's not so easy to let it go. ”

Unexpectedly, Kaoru didn't make any surprised expressions, but took it for granted.

"So, Kato-senpai, what do you want to ask?"

"Actually......"

After hesitation, Kato said what he had seen that day.

Time goes back to a day ago, that is Luo Tianshu and Ying Lili are still discussing the question of trust based on whether they can meet the deadline on time, I don't know if it is subconsciously, or is it guided by others, I said a word by myself.

"Senior Luo, I trust Sawamura-san very much."

"Plus, Kato?! What are you talking about! ”

"yes, what are you talking about."

“...... Huh? ”

“......”

At the same time, he received a slightly surprised glance from the two, Luo Tianshu played with the handheld without raising his head, and asked unhurriedly:

"Kato, who were you talking about?"

"Huh?"

Kato was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously replied:

"Sawamura-san, didn't Senior Luo say that he always believed in her?"

"I'm sorry, Kato, did you misunderstand something?"

"What do you mean......?"

"Sawamura? Eiri Sawamura pear? ”

Repeating the girl's name in a low voice, Luo Tianshu slowly raised his head and looked at Kato, narrowed his eyes as black as an abyss and asked:

"Who's that?"

“...... Lo, senior? ”

As if he had been poured cold water in winter, Kato's body began to chill from head to toe, and even his tone became stiff unconsciously.

"What are you talking about, isn't Sawamura-san just ......"

As her gaze shifted, she found that Ying Lili's face was pale at this time, her petite shoulders looked so helpless, and her clenched fists trembled uncontrollably.

With Luo Tianshu's words, her expression seemed to be distorted little by little.

"So, Kato, are you mistaken, the person I've always believed in is Eiri Kashiwagi."

The corners of his mouth were grinned, and the blood mouth like a demon was opened, and Luo Tianshu said faint words, constantly impacting the heart of a certain blonde girl.

"My idol is Eiri Kashiwagi, and my favorite teacher is Eiri Kashiwagi, and the one who left his name on the list of production staff of SOX is also, Eiri Kashiwagi."

“......”

"Sawamura, Eiri Pear? What kind of ghost is this, hey, I don't know. ”

"You ......!"

Touch!

It was the sound of the drawing board falling to the ground, and Ying Lili, who stepped on the table, grabbed Luo Tianshu's collar through a position.

In Kato's eyes, Eiriri's face at this moment was extremely gloomy, but surprisingly she did not yell, but expressed her anger in the form of a silent outburst.

"How dare you look down on me!"

"It's not something to look down on, that's a fact."

Gently pushing away Ying Lili's hand, Luo Tianshu smiled calmly:

"Sawamura Eiri, you're no longer Kashiwagi Eiri, what kind of 'trust' can you squander it, I'm not Taki, I'm not interested in playing with ghosts."

"It's noisy!"

shouted rudely, Ying Lili stared at Luo Tianshu and said word by word:

"Then let you see, whether it's Eiri Kashiwagi, or Eiri Sawamura, I'm me! It's not like a guy like you can be used as a commodity to point out at will! ”

"Oh? That's really interesting, so prove it to me. ”

After tidying up his collar, Luo Tianshu smiled faintly:

"If you can really do it."

"Humph!"

As if all her emotions had been reined in, Ying Lili's expression also returned to calm, and she stood up straight, staring at Luo Tianshu from above.

"You'll see!"

After leaving this sentence, Ying Lili left, and she didn't look back, and the resolute momentum revealed in the back made Kato on the side a little awe-inspiring, but compared to her......

From beginning to end, Kato didn't let Kato see through even a little bit of Luo Tianshu, which really made her feel awe, no, it was fear......

That's where Kato's memory ended, and she told Kaoru everything she had seen without reservation, hoping to get some explanation from her, or rather, some confirmation, confirmation of her own conjectures.

"Senior Luo, has it always been like that since before? Deliberately making yourself look like a wicked person for the sake of others? There's another way......"

"Well...... this"

"It's dangerous, isn't it? In case Sawamura-san fails to do it, wouldn't Senior Luo be a villain for the rest of his life? ”

"Uh, this one, how do you say it......"

After thinking about it, Kaoru said half-uncertainly:

"Perhaps, my predecessors are like that."

"Really...... Sure enough, Senior Luo is a gentle person, right? To sacrifice yourself like this......"

“...... No, it's a little wrong, Kato-san. ”

"Huh?"

Kato looked at Kaoru in confusion, only to see that the other party suddenly smiled at him and asked himself an unrelated question.

"Kato-senpai, you've only known your seniors for less than three months, right?"

"That's true."

"In this way, you can actually understand part of the essence of your predecessors, sure enough, Kato-senpai, it's you who is gentle, right?"

"What do you mean......?"

"Hee-hee, literally."

Sticking out her tongue, Kaoru put away her naughty expression and said lightly:

"Senior, he's not as good as you think......"

“......？”

ended the conversation with this endless evaluation, Kaoru didn't choose to continue to explain, because what happened after that could only be understood by this Kato-senpai herself.

It's not that she doesn't want to say it, but it doesn't make sense to say it, after all, she knows, she knows it a long time ago.

Her predecessor is a guy who has rotted away from the bones.

What do you want him to do as a hero who sacrifices for others? That's impossible, he doesn't have that kind of hated consciousness, he never had, he only follows the devil's way of sacrificing others to achieve his goal.

Therefore, turning into a villain and taking the risk of being hated made Sawamura-san's efforts to hit him as the goal, the seniors would never do it, and the reason why he was able to act like this was not because of the consciousness of daring to take risks, but because of the expected outcome three steps ahead.

If he hadn't been able to predict the final outcome, he wouldn't have taken the risk, even a little.

So, Senior Sister Kato, he is not as good as you imagined, and he should not even be a human being, after all, he has long been disqualified......
