Chapter Twenty-Nine: Let's Be Real!
ps:It's really strange.,Why is there a lack of space?Are we stupid?,Or is it a new way to be a mother?...... I guess it's still the previous one)
"Since the things carved from Sydney are usually not preserved for a long time, you can also use other things like wood and rubber to carve them. β
"Be careful when using other materials and don't let the knives scratch your hands!"
β...... There is only so much that my brother can teach you, so you have to work hard next!"
"Hi" Γ N
......
"Aligado, Ernie sauce!"
"Yes, bye-bye"
After the temporary 'Sculpture Guidance Group' was disbanded, the last child came over to thank her, and Yuji nodded and smiled, waving his hand to her slightly.
After seeing off the little girl, Yuji looked at the cheerful and energetic figures of the children in a daze, and his mind wandered.
The past is already in the past, and the hateful and immature faces that once existed in his memory like demonic sculptures, bringing him fear and pain, are now fading and being replaced by something.
Already, won't be scared anymore, will he?
"Come on, everyone!"
"I hope that everyone who receives this gift will like it!"
Seeing the departing children, Yuji whispered his blessings.
The 'carving team' was disbanded, and Yuji washed his hands and returned to the curry cooking team. Instead of temporary 'carving instruction', this is what he should do as a volunteer now.
Skillfully wash, chop, add ingredients, and then take care of the stove so that the fire is not extinguished. Simple work allows Yuji to spare time to observe his surroundings.
Except for a few groups of students in the corners who weren't busy making curry, most of the other elementary school students gathered around the stove in the middle part, as if Hayama had taken them to try some new curry recipe. Tozuka, Tobe, and Komachi were also there to help.
But......
His eyes swept around several times, but for some reason he didn't find the shadows of Yubihama and Hikiya under the snow, and even his sister was gone.
Where did everyone go?, he thought, as he added wood to the fire.
Then, I saw Katsuragi Katsuragi who was also looking after the stove where the elementary school students had left unattended. After adding enough firewood to the bottom of the stove, Yuji clapped his hands, took two cans of leftover drinks from the basket he purchased next to him, and walked in that direction.
"Katsurama" Yuji greeted him and handed him a drink, "Good work, this is a reward for you!"
Wiped his hands and took the drink, opened it with a 'snap' and poured it hard, Katsuragi Guima smacked his mouth before he spoke, "The drink you brought with you...... I don't feel the slightest sincerity in the treat!"
And you still drink!?
"Tsk, the requirements are really strict......" Yuji snorted, and then opened the pull ring and took a sip, "But then again, what happened to make you so active in helping out in this game, isn't this like you......?" Where's Elucie?" He looked around, but he didn't see the self-proclaimed 'Demon Maiden'.
"I'm not like this because the old woman threatened me, damn it...... You actually took all my twenty PSP game consoles and confiscated them all......" Katsuragi Katsura's brows jumped, and his eyes were full of flames.
I've been carrying twenty PSPs with me, aren't you panicking?
Elucie's words were to follow the older leftover girl to buy the missing tableware. But...... You're actually asking about the people who came with you. They're on the hill over there, and your sister's words!" Katsuragi Katsura said, pointing in the direction of Yuji, then put down the drink can and began the work of adding firewood and fanning the wind again.
The God of Raiders...... It's really a sharp horror! Being easily seen through his thoughts, Yuji couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"They're all there!" Yuji sighed softly as he looked in the direction Katsuragi was pointing.
All the members of the ministry except him ran over there, except for him! I didn't see him for a month, and the once familiar department, those once familiar faces, seemed to become much more distant. It's as if it's more than a dozen meters away, untouchable.
"Then, I'll do you a favor too, and one more person will be more efficient!"
With that, Yuji rolled up his sleeves again, put on his gloves, and joined the volunteer work.
"Is it really okay not to go over there?"
β...... Hawkers,If you get too close, it's not good to make others feel annoying, right?" The movement in his hand paused slightly, and he continued to stuff a wooden stick into it, and Yuji said casually.
"Tsk, haven't you always been so close to yourself. How?...... Are you scared now?"
"Well, maybe!" Yuji shrugged helplessly.
Katsuragi Katsuruma couldn't help but frown slightly, and he was quite surprised by Yuuji's reaction. If he had said this before, the guy in front of him would probably have said 'I am a noble son who makes my opponent tremble and my friends cheer, and there is no opponent in front of us, how can I ......be afraid' and then the second illness attacked...... And it will never be the way it is now, calmly accepting.
"Is something going on?"
Thinking of some of the information he had deduced earlier, Guima asked. Yuji snorted at this.
"It's not a big deal, it's okay...... Speaking of which, it's you, what's wrong with Huayin, why do you feel like you're so scared to see her now?"
β...... I asked first, and I can only say it if you answer me first. β
"No, it doesn't matter at all, the key point now is you, you and her ......"
"You say it first!" Katsuragi Katsura accentuated his tone and interrupted Yuuji's words.
Looking at his expression of 'I won't say it if you don't say it first', Yuji has no choice but to tell him the cause and effect of the matter.
............
......
"Sounds like a troublesome three-dimensional girl. β
After thinking about it, Katsuragi Katsura made an evaluation. Yuji nodded in agreement, "It's a bit troublesome, but Xue is a good boy." β
"It's also my fault that I didn't keep my promise, otherwise it wouldn't be the way it is. Really...... I'm still annoyed by her."
After saying that, he felt sorry for himself on the side. Looks like a little resentful woman.
This guy is obviously a cash charge, why is his EQ still so low?Obviously a cash charge? (Important things are said twice!) Katsuragi Katsura is helpless against this brainless guy. After the appraisal of his countless (two-dimensional sense) 'Visions' of his reading girls, and judging from the girl's behavior that Yuji said, the girl will definitely not just hate such emotions for Yuji.
If I really hated it, I wouldn't have been so angry before, and I wouldn't have targeted it so deliberately every time (but simply ignored it), and I wouldn't have shown such a wavering expression when Yuuji acted - the time Yuji helped an elementary school student, the time he talked to an elementary school student, and the time he gave away a handmade carving...... In these moments in Guima's memory, the girl would show a visibly shaken expression.
In the end, Katsuragi Katsura sighed helplessly.
"You guy, you really haven't changed much. β
"What hasn't changed?" Yuji didn't understand.
Often, it's not necessarily the person who knows you best, but the person who is watchingβa phrase that's quite appropriate here. Obviously, even a smart guy like Yuji has a hard time seeing himself.
"You are still as good at catering to people's hearts as before, and you are good at performing the image of the 'ideal' in the hearts of others, while playing with people's hearts, you have deceived both everyone and yourself, and you are ...... Why bother?"
"IβI don't play anymore," Yuji's eyes widened. He no longer tries to speculate on other people's psychology with behavioral expressions, no longer tries to control people's hearts, and no longer shows people as an actor, so why does Guima still say that he is 'cheating'?
"Did you agree with and abide by the ideal of 'not lying, not deceiving' that you promised the girl, or was it an illusion that you tried to create in order to please her?...... Don't you understand it to this day?"
If it's an ideal that you agree with and abide by, it's already imperceptibly become a part of your own character, and naturally it won't be easily broken, but if it's an illusion - 'false' can't last a long time, even if Yuji is smart, it's impossible to remind yourself from time to time not to break the 'rules', so one day something will go wrong, after all, it's borrowed from someone else.
"You are like this, you were in middle school, and you are still now, you have never dared to show your 'truth' to others, and you have always played the role of 'popular'...... Yuji Sakai, what exactly are you afraid of!?"
Guimu Guima's questioning was like thunder exploding in his heart, and Yu Er couldn't help but be a little confused for a while
"I ......" opened and closed his mouth, but he couldn't express words.
"Well, for you who have always been an actor, it may be a little difficult for you to suddenly express 'yourself', but I want to say that even if you are 'real', you are not necessarily hated, how about really releasing 'Yuji Sakai'?"
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Yuer's reaction, Katsuragi Guima took the can of drink, patted him on the shoulder and went to rest.
"Well, I'm looking forward to the day when I will 'really' meet the Creation God. β
Such words came from behind him. Yuji couldn't help but look down at his outstretched hands and muttered.
"My real ...... Is it?"
Then I suddenly remembered one thing-
"Speaking of which, I've already said it first, that guy...... He hasn't told me yet!"
Thanks, though
