Dongdong.

There was a knock on the door.

Dongdong.

Two more hits.

"Nishijima-san, Nishijima-san, I am your instructor for the new semester, can you come out and talk? Why don't you come to school. ”

Still no response.

Tsukimiri Daojing stopped at the door of the house, knocked on the door and tried to knock in twice, but the situation was obvious, and there was still no response in the house.

She withdrew her hand, looked back at Shenyuan Le and Tianhai Jiu Liuli who were standing behind her, and shook her head helplessly: "As you can see, I didn't react at all when I called him. ”

Tianhai Jiuliuli couldn't help but ask in the back: "Teacher, are you sure that Nishijima is at home?" ”

"Sure. He locks himself in his home every day, not knowing what he's doing — according to Mr. Nishijima, whom I met at my home visit yesterday. ”

Kamihara raised a hand: "I want to remind you, don't you two understand something, this is a building, not an apartment, if you can't hear it on the second floor, you have to ring the doorbell." ”

"Ah, is that so?"

"Stupid teacher. Forget it, I'll do it. ”

Kamihara was just about to ring the doorbell, but was suddenly pulled back by the mirror of the Tsukimiri, "No need, you see that Mr. Nishijima is just here." ”

As soon as Tsukimiri finished speaking, Kamihara saw a man in a suit and leather shoes with a serious face approaching from the other side of the street, and he saw several people standing in front of his house, and did not stop until he was in front of the name plate with [Nishijima] written on it.

As soon as Nishijima No. 2mura saw Mr. Tsukimiri, he bent down apologetically:

"The trouble teacher has visited many times."

“...... Well, this is also a teacher's job. ”

"As a father, I didn't know until yesterday that Ohki hadn't gone to school, and that was a dereliction of my duty anyway." Nishijima Futamura bent to his feet, his wrinkled eyes closed, and his expression tired.

“... Lejun, I have a question. ”

Tianhai Jiu Liuli had doubts when he heard this, it stands to reason that Nishijima Daki will not come to school for a long time, and the school will contact parents.

She whispered to Kamihara next to her.

"This, according to Mr. Daojing's explanation, Mr. Nishijima's contact information has not been updated, and his parents have not been able to contact him, so there is a home visit from Mr. Miyasaka and now Mr. Daojing, and I came to inquire in person about Nishijima's situation, but I kept calling people and there was no response, and Mr. Daojing only met Mr. Nishijima yesterday."

Nishijima Nimura heard the discussion between the two behind Tsukimiri Michikagami, and saw that they were wearing the same school uniforms as their own sons, "You... It should be a classmate from Nishijima, right? ”

"Yes," Kamihara nodded in acknowledgement, "My name is Kamihara, and the one next to me is Tianhai Jiu Liuli." We are in the same class as him now, and I used to be a friend with whom I could talk. ”

"Friends? That's really a trouble for you to take care of the West Island at school. ”

"I would like to ask, does Mr. Nishijima know the purpose of why Oki doesn't want to go to school?"

Nishijima Nimura shook his head: "I also found out yesterday that he hasn't been to school." Usually he locks himself in his room when he comes back from school, so I don't notice it, and he usually comes out to eat when I make breakfast. ”

Kamihara Le actually guessed his identity from the upright dress and serious temperament of this Mr. Nishijima - the company's white-collar workers, and the class is not low.

"This is the handout from the last few days since the start of the new school year." Kamihara took out a stack of printer paper from his school bag.

"I'm sorry for you." Nishijima Nimura took it and took a quick look, then sighed heavily.

"Mr. Nishijima... Busy at work? ”

"Yes, there's a lot of stuff in the company that needs to be dealt with."

It seems that one of the common characteristics of students at Mingde School is that their parents are overbusy.

Tianhai Jiuliuli keenly captured a detail just now: "Mr. Nishijima said, you make breakfast by Mr. Nishijima?" ”

"Yes." Nishijima nodded his head.

"What about Lady Nishijima?"

"I passed away last year."

Tianhai Jiu Liuli suddenly realized that something was wrong, and his tone quieted down, "Ah...... Please, condolences change ......."

"Hmm."

Nishijima Futamura nodded expressionlessly, and then said to Tsukimiri-sensei:

"I tried to talk to him yesterday, but it didn't work, and after I found out that I knew about him, I ate breakfast after I went to work. Knocking on the door and trying to communicate with him didn't help. ”

"That's what it means to close yourself off." Teacher Tsukimiri analyzed.

"Yes, Da Mu has been very unsociable and withdrawn since he was a child, half of which is due to his congenital disease of not being able to exercise vigorously, and the second half of the reason I think is related to his personality. So I was happy to have classmates and classmates willing to visit him at home, and I felt happy for him as a father. ”

Tianhai Jiuliuli heard this, and thought thoughtfully:

"Could it be that because of Mrs. Nishijima's affairs, Nishijima-san is reluctant to come to school? I'm sorry to bring it up again, but... Mother's influence on Nishijima-san, right? ”

"The impact is very good," Nishijima Nimura was silent at first, and then shook his head, "But I don't think it's caused by this, my insider's affairs have been at the beginning of last year, and a year has passed, and when the first grade started, his performance has been normal." ”

Kamihara Raku also met Nishijima Daiki from that time period.

He is indeed normal, and often discusses girls' cups and measurements at lunchtime and Fujino.

Yuejianli Daojing: "I will call Le and Jiu Liuli over now, mainly to let peers talk to each other." After all, it is difficult for a boy at this age to open up to his parents, and I think both teachers and fathers belong to the category of parents. ”

Nishijima Nodding in agreement: "The age of rebellion, it should be like this." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's really against hospitality to let guests stand outside, so let's come in first."

The second village of Nishijima invited everyone into the house. Kamihara changed his shoes in the hallway and looked at the environment of the house for a while.

Very clean and well organized, no garbage and some inexplicable plastic bags at all, which shows that the owner of this house has quite good habits.

"Where are you going?"

Just as Kamihara changed his shoes and followed Mr. Nishijima into the hall, Mr. Nishijima happened to bump into Nishijima Oki, who was carrying a schoolbag and seemed to be going out.

The stern tone that belonged to his father couldn't help but make Kamihara Le and Tianhai Jiu Ruri subconsciously look sideways.

"Garage."

Nishijima Oki replied in a normal tone, but when he saw a few people behind his father, he realized that something was wrong.

"That is—"

Of course, he knew Kamihara Le and Tianhai Jiu Ruri, but he felt unfamiliar with the woman standing next to the two. Black hair, black-rimmed glasses, a suit vest and a white coat, what kind of woman is this?

"You don't know?"

"I don't know."

Nishijima Fuchimura sighed heavily, and Tsukimiri-sensei also smiled bitterly.

“...... I said, "You, why didn't you go to school in the first place?" This is what I told you yesterday, the instructor of your new class, when did you start not going to school? ”

......

......

Nishijima Daiki did not speak.

Nishijima Fuchimura closed his eyes and said nothing, a deep sigh in his throat that only an adult male could have.

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

Nishijima Oki watched his father's sigh.

After a long silence, the atmosphere became more and more awkward.

Tianhai Jiu Liuli had never seen this kind of atmosphere in other people's families, and hid behind Kamihara Le, and no one could see that the current few people broke into the Shura field of a family.

Teacher Tsukimiri was the first to speak, she stood forward handsomely, coughed and said, "Ahem, that, Nishijima-san." I guess it started at the end of January, I came to the school four times in January, three times in the first half of February, and then in March, except for one time to take the exam, there were only zero times. ”

Father sighed again.

Tsukimi Michikami asked with concern, "Did something happen at school?" ”

“... No, just no time. ”

The father immediately opened his eyes and scolded him quickly and with suppressed anger: "Don't have time? You're a student, right, what's the deal with students not having time to go to school? ”

Father's scolding shook Tianhai Jiu Liuli's shoulder, who had never faced such a situation.

Kamihara felt her startled.

“... Don't want to say. "Nishijima Daiki didn't really want to face such a father.

"Don't want to say? Do you understand what the situation is now? The teacher and your classmates are here! I heard that you also told the school that you want to drop out? Lying that I agreed, you say, what are you going to do? ”

"I just want to do what I do to go, now."

"Do what?"

"Photographer." While saying this, Nishijima Daiki covered the things behind him with his hands.

"Hmm... Photographer. When Tsukimi Michikami heard this word, he repeated it as if he was confirming it.

Nishijima Fuchimura's face suddenly stiffened, and he closed his eyes again as if he suddenly understood something: "It seems... You're really obsessed with it, but it's not too late to wait until you go to college to do it, right? ”

“... No, I just want to spend as much time on this as I can. ”

"Don't be naïve, Damu! You have to understand who you are as a student now. ”

"I understand, but my mother was able to do this quite well at my age!"

"Your idea is so unrealistic!"

"Don't always treat me like a child!"

"It's your words that make it look so childish!"

...... The father and son quarreled here, and Kamihara probably understood what the situation was.

- Disagreement.

Nishijima Daiki has his own ideas, and he is tired of or dislikes his current life.

That's pretty much the reason he didn't come to school.

And his father would most likely not agree with him, so he chose to hide it.

Nishijima Nimura closed his eyes and tried to suppress the anger in his heart before turning back into the thick middle-aged man he had before and continued: "I understand your thoughts, but you don't know about your mother. After graduating from college, I won't ask if you do this again after you graduate from college. ”

"Again...."

"What did you say?"

"It's always like this! That's always the case when you promised your mother... Something, I'll go out with you when I'm done with work... What is it that after the work is done, they go out for a trip together, but the result? Every time, every time, every time, every time is pushed back, and the promised things are never fulfilled as scheduled, isn't it that the mother was delayed five times, and finally ran to the field alone to take pictures, resulting in no one being around to take care of her, as a husband, you have no responsibility at all! ”

Yuejianli Daojing hurriedly interjected: "Da Mu, this sentence is excessive. ”

"It's his fault!"

After saying this, Nishijima Oki couldn't help but bow his head and clench his fist, and Nishijima Fuchimura, who had been looking very tired, closed his eyes in pain as if he had been evoked a memory that he didn't want to recall.

As a bystander, Kamihara understood that this sentence must have revealed his father's scars.

"......" Nishijima Nimura suppressed something, he took a deep breath, "After graduating from college, after you graduate from college, you won't ask what kind of photographer you want to be, you are still too naïve, photography is not as simple as you think, how can you easily do it just by relying on the shadow left by your mother." For the sake of me spending money for you to attend such an expensive school as Mingde School, then I want to grieve my thoughts for the time being, okay. ”

"I didn't ask you to help me..."

"You."

"You can't make sense with your father after all..."

After the conversation, Nishijima turned around and left the hall, going back to the second floor.

There was a clatter, and the sound of the second-floor door closing was heard on the stairs.

......

Nishijima Nimura watched his son walk back to the bedroom, followed by a dead silence.

He glanced at the photo of the three of them in the hall, and saw the smile of his wife in the sunlight in front of the camera.

"I'm sorry to make you ugly." He turned to the three men standing in the living room.

As a serious father, his eyes were a little red.

It's really sad to be alone with a child.

Yuejian Daojing deeply realized it, and shook his head: "No, I can understand that child's thoughts." And Mr. Nishijima, out of his fatherhood, is not at fault. ”

Kamihara felt that Nishijima Futamura was quite reasonable as a father.

It's my former father, "What, you want to go to college?" What do you know little brat, can you? After graduating from high school, you came out to study electrician with me, and the salary is not higher than your job after you came out of college? ”

If you change your father's personality to Xijima's father, I'm afraid that my son will not be widowed.

Nishijima continued: "That kid has been a maverick since he was a child, so he usually doesn't have many friends at school... His mother had a strong influence on him. He was influenced by his mother, and I can understand his anxiety when he wants to study photography, but I don't really want to agree with the reason for my mother's death. ”

Tsukimi Daojing pondered, "Ohki, that kid, did you suddenly become like this?" ”

"I don't know."

"That's right, that's good, Le, Jiuliuli, you go up and ask. As peers, you must communicate with him better than me and Mr. Nishijima. ”

"No problem."

Actually, there is no need for the teacher to say it, Kamihara also has this idea.

*

Second floor.

Winter, winter, winter.

Winter, winter, winter.

Winter, winter, winter.

Tianhai Jiuliuli knocked on the door three times in a row, making sure that the people in the door had heard, but after still not responding, he said to the door in a gentle voice:

"West Island, West Island, I'm Tianhai Jiu Liuli, I was entrusted by Teacher Daojing to bring you a handout, I don't know if I can open the door and talk? Nishijima-san, Nishijima-san. ”

Winter, winter, winter.

Winter, winter, winter.

Winter, winter, winter.

Three more times.

There was silence for a long time, and only then did a tentative inquiry slowly come from inside the door, "... Tianhai Nine Glass? ”。

"Yes, it's me."

“...... What did you come to me for? ”

"We're classmates now."

"You don't have to be like this, do you?"

"I'm the vice-squad leader now, so-"

"As soon as Tianhai Jiuliuli came up, he used his position to show his high status? Sorry, we don't have much to talk about. ”

“... No, I don't mean that......"

Kamihara Le motioned to Tianhai Jiu Liuli: "Let me try." ”

He walked to the door and knocked twice, "Nishijima, it's me, Kamihara." ”

Kamihara continued to talk: "I accidentally overheard the conversation between you and your father just now, I can completely understand your thoughts, everyone has things that are not supported by their parents. ”

"A god plain, a heavenly sea, did you couple come to my door to express how much affection you have?"

"No, Nishijima, we were just asked by the teacher to ask you what your situation is now."

"Concerned? Well-known cash to care about me? Is it to smile and show how popular you are? Nishijima's tone was not cold, but it was so calm that it was very unapproachable, and there was a deliberate sense of alienation.

“......”

It was said by a former friend that it was now charged.

Kamihara understands that this represents distance.

But what Nishijima says is the truth.

After all, Kamihara has too many things to do right now, and he usually has less time to spend with his classmates.

Fujino is okay, he has a childhood sweetheart to inspire him, and he is also a hot-blooded fool with no face and no skin.

There is also a feeling that the two of them have left Nishijima behind.

"I'm sorry, Nishijima, Fujino and I didn't deliberately leave your thoughts behind, but we both have reasons why we have to move forward."

“.... I think God has misunderstood something, I never thought I was abandoned or anything. A character like you, who has been standing in the sun, should feel that everything in the world is positive. ”

"I never felt that way."

But what about the facts? There is no difficulty in forming a band you can form a band, and your parents will always have a supportive mentality, and even your members will blindly cater to you. Famous musicians and idol voice actors write songs and sing for you, isn't this now that you have done one thing in good times, and then run to people who don't have so many connections at all to show off how good your performance is? I'm sorry, but I don't have any interest in you and your harem group. ”

If there is any difference between Nishijima and the kind of classmate who scolds himself in secret, it is Nishijima Daiki who seems to be very rational in judging things.

Kamihara also thinks that he is a person who can communicate well, even if his tone was a little aggressive just now.

"Nishijima, I don't deny our previous friendship, and I haven't deliberately alienated you or anything. It's just because I've been busy lately and need to take care of other things. So, as a friend who used to have a good relationship, I would like to ask why you didn't come to school anymore? Actually, everything has a cause, and I don't think you suddenly want to be a photographer with a camera in your arms for no reason, right? ”

“... You won't understand. ”

"Why don't you say I don't understand?"

“......”

No response.

After that, no matter what Kamihara Raku said, there was no response.

Kamihara looked at the nine glasses of the heavenly sea standing with him.

"He doesn't trust us at all."

Nishijima-san, as if he didn't like the way we disturbed him. Although the tone is normal, the words are as if they want to drive us away, with aggression. ”

After discussing for a long time, they didn't come to any useful conclusions, so the two could only go downstairs.

It looked at Nishijima Nimura and Tsukimiri Sensei, who were sitting at a table and chatting, at the same time.

"How?" Teacher Tsukimiri asked.

Kamihara Rakudo spreads his hands.

"If it fails, it looks like we'll have to come a few times."

Tsukimi Daojing stood up with his hands on his knees, "It's not an unexpected result, then let's come back next week." ”

Nishijima No. 2 Village, who had been talking to the teacher, got up and sent him off, "It's really troublesome." ”

"It's fine."

*

On the way back, the teacher was in the car.

Tianhai Jiuliuli patted his heart and looked relaxed.

Kamihara noticed her movements, "Did Ruri remember the quarrel between her uncle and aunt?" ”

"Hmm... Every time I face that situation, I get overwhelmed. ”

Tsukimi Daojing extinguished the cigarette, started the car, and interjected while turning the direction of the car: "Family conflicts basically exist in every family, and when I was only a few years old, I often quarreled with my mother. ”

“... The teacher wanted to say more than ten years ago. And why not give an exact number? ”

"A woman's age can't just ask such a simple truth, and you still need me to explain it?" Tsukimiri Michikame turned the steering wheel and drove the car into the street, "Let's get back to business, according to what you said just now, about Nishijima-san's matter, I think there must be something affecting him, so he is reluctant to come to school and wants to inherit his mother's last wish." ”

"What does the teacher think?"

"How do I know. But in fact, the reluctance to go to school is nothing more than a few conditions, being bullied in school, hating school, being emotionally hurt in school, or being excluded by a small group, putting aside family factors, back and forth just a few. Let's go, I'll treat you two to dinner. ”

"The teacher is so generous?"

"After all, I asked you to help. No, when have I been stingy! ”

*

Out of the obligation of the class leader and the serious and responsible attitude towards things, Kamihara Le has collected some information related to Nishijima on campus in the past few days.

Every afternoon, when I was in the Faculty of Letters, I took it out and opened it.

Tianhai Qi Mingyue has noticed his movements in the past few days: "What have you been checking recently?" ”

"There is a record of whether a classmate has been bullied at school."

"And then? What if you find it? ”

"You should know about July, it's the West Island thing I told you about two days ago."

Tianhai Qi Mingyue covered half of his cheeks with the library book, revealing only a pair of eyes: "When did my brother do so hard?" Teacher Daojing should just ask you to help go over and talk. ”

"I'm short of people, who knew that the last time I was invited to dinner with Jiu Liuli, it was the teacher who was playing a trick on us! As soon as I finished eating, I was asked to help gather information. ”

"Is it possible that Teacher Daojing knows that you are conscientious, and eating is a reward for your hard work in helping her manage the class for more than a week?"

Kamihara smiled at her and said, "July, you're smart. ”

"It's useless to praise me." Tianhai Qi Mingyue glanced at the information he handed over.

"How about a help?"

"Got a problem?"

"No, I know why. I just wanted to keep you informed and come with us in the afternoon. ”

"If you tell me to go, I'll go?"

"You're my girlfriend."

*

Winter, winter, winter.

Winter, winter, winter.

In the afternoon, at the home of Nishijima Oki, Kamihara Raku knocked on the door of his room again.

"Nishijima, Nishijima, it's me, Kamihara, I'm here again."

The door was silent for a long time, and then a voice came:

“...... I must admit, Kamihara, that you are really annoyed and deliberately pick me out of the time. ”

"I go out at four o'clock in the afternoon every day, right? Don't look at me not coming these days, in fact, I've been stepping on the spot. ”

"And then? What are you going to say today? ”

Kamihara glanced at Tianhai Qimingyue, who was directly opposite him with his hands on his chest, and made a gesture of invitation to her.

"I still have to come to my own troubles."

Tianhai Qi Mingyue stepped forward and faced the door with a calm face, "The person inside is called Nishijima Daiki, right?" ”

“...... Who are you? ”

"Seven bright moons in the sky and sea."

“... The harem group takes turns, right? ”

......

Tianhai Qimingyue's expression was still calm, but what Shen Yuanle saw was that her entire face was dark.

"July, July, calm down, calm down."

"No need to be reminded."

Tianhai Qi Mingyue said to the door with a calm face: "Whatever you say, I only have one thing here, to persuade you to go out." ”

"Huh... What do you want to persuade me to get out, in fact, you guys just take this as a task to complete. As soon as I'm out, your mission will be done. ”

"Or else? Could it be that I still have to care about you? For me, your business has nothing to do with me at all, and I wouldn't have wanted to come if it hadn't been for Kamihara-san's request for me to come and talk to you. ”

"Look... It's because of people like you who don't care about other people that they are annoying. ”

If it is Jiuliuli, it will definitely be persuaded again euphemistically.

But Tianhai Qi Mingyue's strong character does not allow logic without reason to appear in the field of vision at all.

"Am I wrong? If it weren't for Kamihara-san's friendship with your former friend, he would have searched the school every day for the real reason why you didn't come to school? He's going to waste so much time on you that he should have spent running for student council president? ”

"So Tianhai-san, what are you still doing here? Since it's none of your business, I didn't ask you to come to me at all. ”

Tianhai Qi Mingyue said in an ordinary tone: "People have relationships in society. Even if you don't ask me, but your behavior affects your father, our school, our teacher, and the teacher tells us about the situation, so even if you don't ask us, we still come to your house. ”

“...... It's really annoying to be verbose. ”

"If you don't leave your current room, this long-winded will stay with you for the rest of your life."

“... You don't understand me. ”

"Isn't it just that the confession was rejected, and then the woman used it to ridicule her friends as an otaku?"

"......" was silent in the room.

Kamihara couldn't help but whisper to the seven bright moons of the heavenly sea: "July... It's really hurtful. ”

Tianhai Qimingyue's eyes still haven't changed, but the eyes in her eyes that look at Kamihara Le have already revealed [Can I not know?] ] meaning.

All right... In July, I was rejected by myself the most times.

"If you can hear what I'm going to say, keep listening, if you can't. Your current behavior is just cocooning yourself, you are not happy with yourself, what is your current psychology? Sad, unhappy to be insulted, and feel like no one can support you behind your back? And then give up on yourself?

"The truth is, you're just playing with a child's temper. You're closing yourself off by destroying yourself, and then you're getting attention from the outside world – that's why you're willing to answer our questions. Don't say anything and ask us to pay attention to you, I'm sure you're enjoying our attention to you right now, and if we leave, you'll definitely regret and be disappointed.

"And in my opinion, such behavior is more equivalent to waste."

"Stop, stop!"

Shen Yuan Le hurriedly stopped Tianhai Qimingyue, although it was good to let her speak, but if she was not careful, she could break the defense 100%.

July is really unsparing in its criticism of others.

After asking Qi Mingyue to leave the second floor first, Kamihara said to the door of the room again:

"Ahem, that, Nishijima. Qi Mingyue is just straightforward and fast-talking, and she definitely wants you to cheer up. ”

“...... Two people sing and harmonize, right? First use a knife to hurt someone's heart, and then suddenly a blood bag pops up and directly stuffs your wound to block the blood? ”

“... Can we meet and talk? ”

"Die, I will never open the door."

Kamihara leaned back in front of his door, "Then I'll chat with you at your door." ”

“...... I don't have much to talk to about now. ”

"Why not? Even now, I like to look at beautiful girls' busts. Even if Qi Mingyue walked downstairs just now, half of my attention was on her chest. Sometimes she compares her sister to her sister, who is bigger. ”

“...... I don't think I can talk to you anymore. ”

"Why? Will you feel inferior when facing a beautiful girl? Men should face their desires more directly, I don't think you used to be quite confident. In the past, you could calmly say a lot of very philosophical things to me, and I still remember what you said - [I still have a good attitude to myself on my birthday, I will stay at home, turn on the TV, insert a game that I liked before, and then read the archive, look at the girl holding the gift, in a shy expression, I am embarrassed to hand out the gift, and whisper to me happy birthday]. ”

“...... Doesn't that sound even more pathetic? ”

Okay, it's working.

Kamihara Le, leaning back against the door, continued to say to Nishijima inside, "Can you tell me how you fell in love with the girl you confessed?" ”

“......”

No response.

"Let's talk about it, just the two of us are here now, Jiu Liuli and Qi Mingyue are both below, and they can't hear it."

Nishijima Oki in the room seemed to be very mentally prepared, and took a breath of a voice that even Kamihara Raku could hear outside.

“... Said happy birthday to me and included a cup of milk tea. ”

"Just because of this?"

“... Just because of this. ”

The situation Kamihara Raku also asked the girl in question.

Well, it's too much.

The reason why the girl said happy birthday to Nishijima and gave her a cup of milk tea was because of a big challenge after losing the king game with her friends.

The reason was that they picked up Nishijima's student ID card and saw his birthday.

And because Xidao often sits alone in the family restaurant to eat dinner and handheld games, he was noticed by several girls, and it happened that his birthday was a few days later, so on the day of the king game, they asked one of them to take the initiative to buy a cup of milk tea, and at the same time return the student ID, they smiled and said to Xidao: "Happy birthday, this cup of milk tea should be given to you as a birthday gift!" ”。

That girl can dress up, and she's pretty pretty.

This is a ray of light for Nishijima, who has never spoken to a real girl in his life, so dazzling that people can't look at it directly, and it is natural to have a good impression.

However, the other party is actually a playful mentality, and some gentleness in follow-up contact is just a superficial polite word.

Typical,An example of liking each other because of the gentleness of the girl.。

Kamihara Le remembered that Jiu Liuli was confessed by a boy because of this. The difference is that Liuli is really gentle, and even if she refuses, she won't joke about the boy's feelings.

"This matter is indeed overdone by the other party. But that's not a reason for you to use it for yourself. ”

“...... Here it is, right? Advice from successful people, so it's a flavor to say that it's all a taste, and it seems to be a big reason to preach to people from above, but in fact, they don't care about the role under their feet. ”

"What kind of successful people come from the experience of losers...... It's not that I haven't been rejected, yes, it's Jiuliuli. You know, at first she did say yes to me, but she didn't say yes to me for a simple reason, she dumped me after her mother asked her to study abroad...... And at that time, my self learned about the fact that she heard my true confession to her, but she didn't really care about my sincerity with her...... Of course, I know that this is not the case. ”

】

“...... So? What are you trying to illustrate. ”

"Don't worry. During that time, after I was dumped, I also had the idea of looking for a quiet place like you. So I can understand what you're doing now, while refusing to communicate with outsiders, colleagues who are looking forward to the other side regretting taking the initiative to come to themselves, and looking forward to the outside world's concern for you...... It's human nature! After all, everyone wants to have someone who can comfort them when they are sad, and if that person is of the opposite sex and can give themselves a hug, it would be even better! ”

Kamihara said as he stretched out his leg and looked at the ceiling of the hallway.

"I used to look forward to having someone who could feel sorry for myself when I was hurt, looking forward to someone caring for me when I was sick, looking forward to someone who was willing to love me, and then willing to share the troubles in life, spend time together in the noisy and noisy room, and then get married together, have children together, travel through the four seasons together, watch the cherry blossoms grow up slowly every year, and accompany me to old age, how happy it is."

"It's just a cliché, anyway, you guys are good at everything, good looks, good grades, and outgoing personalities. Fujino's guy is even more shit lucky.,There's a childhood sweetheart who has known to care about him since he was a child.,Even took the initiative to let him grow.。 ”

Kamihara: "Well, I see what you mean, but what do you want to say?" ”

“...... What I'm trying to say is that only you guys will be able to enjoy what I've just said, and those of us who are looked down upon will be able to hide in dark corners and fantasize. ”

"I see, it's envy, right?"

“... Yes, it's envy, and at the same time I hate the way you stand on a high place and point fingers at everyone, saying that you can achieve it if you work hard. Not to mention that the appearance is impossible to achieve, and the wealth struggle for a lifetime will not touch the toes of others. All I want to do now is to continue my mother's unfinished business, travel the country alone, and become a photographer. ”

"It's impossible to be as good as others in appearance, and you can't touch other people's toes in a lifetime of wealth struggle... Well, you're not wrong at all, but is that why you're feeling sorry for yourself in your tiny room? ”

“...... I want to preach again, right? ”

"Yes," Kamihara Le admitted directly, and said solemnly, "This time it is really preaching, because there are always people in the world who complain about others and envy others." thinks that no matter how hard you try, you can't compare to the last genius.

"It is true that everyone has a different starting point and different results, some succeed and some fail. But I don't think you're in a position to say that right now. ”

“......”

"To quote a quote I've read before, [Spend all your life on one thing, burn yourself to ashes where you can't even shed blood and tears.... Even if you do this, you still can't win against an opponent who doesn't work as hard as you can - only this kind of person is qualified to say such things at the end of the day].

"And what did you do in the West Island? What have you done on the path you want to stick to? Have you achieved anything in the past month? You say you want to carry on your mother's business, so how many photos did you take? You said that your mother can do a great job at this age, so you can ask your father now how much effort did your mother put into photography to get to that point at your age? ”

This big call from Kamihara was not without effect. At least there was no movement in the room for a while.

“...... I'm moving forward, but I don't get support. The voice in the room was a little weaker.

"Then if there is no support, you choose to give up? This doesn't prove what you think.

"Nishijima, yes?

?? Support is happy, but things are different, and people are different! As human beings, sometimes you have to learn to accept the reality and accept the gap. It's like when I was a child, I had to live in a house that leaked rain and wind, I had to admit it, did I envy those who lived in big houses? Envy, envy for sure! But is that my reason to complain about the other party? No, I deeply understand that I am not them, I am in the current situation, all I can do is to continue to work hard and try my best to hold my sister through every day.

"At that time, even though I was climbing very little, very slowly, very different from other people's speeds, I knew that I was still moving forward. It's the same now.

"Nishijima, if you want support, try to get your father's approval and show your thoughts and actions in places he doesn't expect! He's not the kind of person who doesn't make sense, and even if your father is disgusted by the death of your mother because of the incident, he still respects your choice and gives you room to spare. ”

“...... Then what else did he say until he graduated from college....."

Kamihara laughed: "Isn't that because you made him not see your strength?" In fact, it seems to me that your performance yesterday was full of childish childishness, what should you do now, go to school well, and then take the time to prove yourself with real photography. It's like I finally let Jiu Liuli, who dumped me, take the initiative to come back and confess to me! She really likes me now. ”

“..... After all, it's just talk on paper. ”

The voices in the room still sounded reluctant.

Kamihara knew that in fact, his heart had softened, but it was just one step away.

"Well, I've been studying photography recently because of the band's MV, so why don't we work together? As long as you can come to school. ”

“... You...? Questioning voices came from the room.

"Huh? Not convinced? What am I lying to you, don't think I'm done playing bass in the band, I'm still in charge of making videos, editing and reconciling my sister and July's constant quarrels.

"Not to mention in normal times! I prepare everyone's meals, and I still have to maintain the top three grades in the school, manage the affairs of the class, prepare for the competition for the student council, and maintain my daily running. I will also read and reply to the fans' messages one by one...... Wait, you don't think I've gotten to where I am without doing anything, do you? Even Fujino runs with me every day to change himself! Now I'm a great member of the baseball club. ”

“... Aren't you tired? ”

"Tired, how not tired. But can I improve myself without being tired? I'm not a genius of the level of Jiu Liuli and Qi Mingyue, and I don't have the same good net worth as them... By the way, by the way, I will tell you, in fact, even if they are talented, they are at the level where they have played the piano since they were children and their tears have dried up! ”

Katsa, the door was opened.

Nishijima Oki wore round glasses and appeared through the crack in the door.

“... I don't understand what good you say to me so much. ”

Kamihara patted him on the shoulder and said loudly:

"There is no other reason, West Island! Because I'm your class president and a friend...... Plus I've heard about you, and I don't want to be nosy. Of course, the most important thing is that I want to be a responsible, high-spirited person who can lead people forward. And as such a powerful, charismatic, and knowledgeable person, he will be like the brightest star in the starry sky, will be looked up to by everyone, will be longed for by everyone, and will make the girl around him as beautiful as the summer marble soda involuntarily want to follow behind. ”

“.... That's you, not me, and you've done it now. Nishijima tilted his head and whispered.

Kamihara laughed.

"I haven't done it yet. And don't say that, Nishijima, presumably your mother, Chiyomi Nishijima, a photographer who has chased the comet all her life, will definitely expect you to inherit her name and shine in the photography world after your efforts. ”

......

......

Soon, Nishijima Oki lowered his head, clenched his fists, and said in a low voice:

"It's... There are despicable enough, God ......"

"So, go back to school, don't worry your father, he's the only one in your family."

“........”

......

"Looks like it's over."

And at the staircase, Tianhai Qimingyue, who overheard all the conversations, hugged his chest, and recalled the declaration of Kamihara Le just now in his heart, and the corners of his mouth were rarely hooked:

】

"Want to be the star that my sister and I follow? Sun? Central air conditioning was upgraded to fusion heating, right? ”

......
