"Itai Yuji, he's not the stupid person you imagined, or on the contrary, it's not an exaggeration to say that he is the best liar who can play the people around him!"

Such a direct assertion is under the snow Yukino, whose eyes looking at Rumi contain infinite pity.

I have to say that Yuuji's accosting strategy is indeed very successful, as an older person, he can pull down his face to properly show the stupid side, in this way, not only successfully reduces the vigilance of Liumei in the face of strangers (note: normal people will have a sense of superiority in IQ when facing stupid people, and the result is often that this sense of superiority leads to being deceived!), but also eliminates the barrier between the two and makes equal communication feasible......

However, this is incorrect and deceptive.

Indeed, Yuuji's acting skills are superb, and the pretended 'stupid' has successfully become friends with Rumi and obtain information, but in the end, Rumi still didn't notice Yuuji's performance, and she was full of joy thinking that she had made new friends!

On the surface, this is already a pretty perfect happy ending.

But—

You know, the 'Yuji' who communicated with Liumei, the stupid 'Yuji' that Liumei is familiar with, is the real Yuji Sakai himself?...... No, it's just a fake personality created by Yuji Sakai in order to communicate with the United States.

The personality is false, the communication is just a choreographed drama, the memory is false, and the 'Yuji' who is identified as a friend in the United States does not exist from beginning to end. In the end, what Yuji Itai did was just to reuse the 'trick' he had used once on Yukino under the snow to Rumi Tsurumi.

- That's right, isn't it? You liar!!

His eyes were filled with flames, and he looked in the direction where Yuji was under the snow.

......

Looking at such a picture of bitterness and hatred with the 'someone' in the conversation, Mitsuki couldn't help but have a cold sweat on her head.

Woo~~ Oni-chan, what did you do to make Sister Xue Nai hold such a grudge?

"Why, say that?"

Rumi asked a little nervously. In response, Snow showed a sarcastic expression that she didn't know who to face.

"Do you really know him? Do you really understand why he went to you and why he said those things to you?"

She was like this at the beginning, obviously she didn't know anything about the existence of 'Yuji Sakai', she didn't know anything about his experience, and she didn't know what he thought at all, but she thought he was a like-minded companion.

“......”

Seeing that Rumi didn't reply, Yukiki continued with a cold expression

"He's the head of the grade of the general martial arts high school, although I don't agree with the statement that grades mean everything, but you who live here in Chiba, it shouldn't be difficult to know what this represents. ”

There are not many key high schools in Chiba City, and there are only a few in total, and as a child who grew up in Chiba, it is impossible for Rumi not to hear about it from his parents. And the one who can also get the 'best' evaluation in a key high school is exactly what she thinks is a stupid.

Woo~~

It whined uncontrollably, and could not be refuted in any way. Rumi's expression gradually darkened, and her small body shrank as if she was insecure, and she murmured

“...... Why, do that?"

Seeing such a beautiful stay, Xue Xia couldn't help but think of himself at the beginning, and he was like this, so he easily believed the young man's words, but he was kept in the dark without warning until he realized it......

As a result, sympathy inevitably rises in my heart.

However, Yukina is not the kind of person who will change his approach out of sympathy. Not being able to lie has always been the girl's rule, so no matter how painful and difficult it is to accept the truth, she will not hide it in the slightest.

As if she were in a hurry, she continued.

"That kind of thing doesn't matter, just understand the fact that he lied to you, isn't it?"

While looking at Rumi, who couldn't respond, she pursed her lips tightly as if she was enduring something. You might see your shadow under the snow. Meiyue, who was on the side, watched the two fall into a misunderstanding of their brother, and wanted to stop talking, biting her lip vigorously and being distressed.

Should it be ...... What about telling her brother about that?

She doesn't lie under the snow, so she will tell Rumi the 'truth', but she chose not to mention the gambling contract alone, taking care of the little girl's mood in such an awkward way, which is probably also the gentleness under the snow.

"Sure enough, will it still be like this......

It's like giving up.,A small voice leaking out.。 Rumi lowered her head and kicked the pebble again.

"What a fool he did...... You shouldn't have had expectations. ”

"Did anything happen?"

Rumi, who is whispering like a self-deprecation, asks calmly by Yubihama.

"Other people have been bullied a few times...... But in the end, it's all over as if nothing happened, and after that, they will talk to each other and continue to do their own things. Somebody is going to bring it up - that's pretty much the atmosphere everybody. ”

Rumi said lightly, but listening to what she said, I felt goosebumps coming out more than Qigu. What is this...... It's terrifying.

"Then, a child who had a good relationship and talked to me a lot was also bullied, and I kept a proper distance from her...... But before I knew it, it was my turn. Obviously I haven't done anything. ”

It doesn't matter what the reason is, those people just want to pull others into the same situation as themselves, and it is human nature to reject 'foreign bodies'.

"As for me, because I talked to that kid a lot of things, and I still think of her as a friend......"

As a result, yesterday's friend used his secret as material the next day, and used it as a joke when communicating with others.

It was a secret conversation that could only be told because of trust, but in the end, it turned out that it was simply self-inflicted.

"I thought that Yuji would be different, but the result was still ......"
