Chapter 242: Girls Talk (Pseudo)
Arisa placed her half-drunk blueberry juice on the table and sighed heavily.
Sighed again.
Before she was about to sigh for the third time, the girl sitting across from her finally couldn't take it anymore.
"If you sigh often, happiness will slip away."
Shiratori Mao held her chin and looked at the languishing Arisa.
After leaving school, the two are now in a dessert shop.
"I want to go back."
The other party ignored her old-fashioned ridicule, and still looked sullen.
"It's too much! It's a rare girls talk time, doesn't Erisa want to talk to me? β
Hearing this word, Erisa shuddered as if she was suffering from post-war trauma syndrome: "Nothing good happened after the last time and the last time two people talked...... I must have been cursed with misfortune. β
"It's not just me who's talked like this."
Behind the lenses, Shiratori Mao narrowed his eyes, "Speaking of which, I haven't complained, but you talked to everyone so much before going to the amusement park today, and you completely excluded me." β
"But Maki was still a pigeon at that time......"
Airisa reminded weakly.
"But I forgive you."
It's just talking to yourself!
Even if she is still immersed in a sad mood, Airisa can't help but feel the desire to complain.
"Then as compensation, Eriza will talk about the troubles in her heart, it is said that sharing this kind of thing with others will be reduced by half."
Hearing this, the vampire once again fell to the table as if shrunk.
"I made Xiaoguang angry...... Although I don't know why it's not Hoshikawa-san, but she is angry, it's all my fault. β
I don't believe you don't know why she's angry.
Shiratori Makai silently slandered.
But everyone has to continue to pretend to be confused on this surface, after all, if it is punctured, everyone's face will not look good.
So she started to talk nonsense like "Erisa is not wrong" and "Light will figure it out soon".
"Can you find a way to reconcile with her......
Airisa is listless, and in contrast, Shiratori Makai outlines a subtle smile.
Finally found an excuse to cut to the chase.
"Even if we reconcile this time, can Airisa guarantee that there will be no next conflict?"
"As long as I don't do this kind of thing anymore......"
"What kind of thing did you do?"
Shiratori Mao asked rhetorically, "Involved in Hoshikawa-san's and Hikari's messy plans, and didn't resist when someone took the initiative to kiss them?" You're even thinking about helping those two people clean up the aftermath! Why should you be just because of that? β
She never mentioned the fact that she was also involved, and Airisa listened to it and remembered the grievances she had suffered during the day, and for a moment felt that what Shiratori said was also reasonable.
She didn't do anything wrong! It's more like a victim!
"Listen to Airisa, as long as the source of the contradiction still exists, sooner or later you and Hikari will break out into a quarrel like today, even if it's not her, it's someone else."
What is the "source of the contradiction" and who this "other" is, naturally it is needless to say too much.
The corners of Arisa's mouth flattened: "Then what can I do......"
She felt that she had been very careful and restrained, who knew that the lights would suddenly turn on at that time!
As if a demon was tempting mortals, Shiratori Mao gently and amiably shook the other party's hand: "I have a way. β
Arisa's eyes lit up at first, but she quickly shook her head vigilantly: "When they showed this before, they either wanted to drag me into the water or hurt me, I won't be fooled again!" β
Even if it's a small animal, it's time to establish a conditioned reflex after repeating the tragedy twice.
"I'm not like those two."
"Before, on the moon, when I was alone with him, I heard what he had to say about you, don't you want to hear it?" β
The moment she saw the other party's expression, she knew it was done.
Twenty minutes later, Arisa left the dessert shop, and Mai Shiratori leaned back on her chair and picked up her untouched drink, silently pondering.
Arisa's refrain from falling out with Hikari had long been expected, but this kid first threw himself into Hori, and then descended to Hoshikawa, and then counted this time the prestige value is about the same as a certain military general who is famous for his father's nemesis in later generations, which is really embarrassing to trust.
Although it is easy to steal during the day...... The plan to secretly promote everyone's relationship failed, but the most important thing was that she spied a glimmer of Hoshikawa Aoi's true intentions in the seemingly playful court verdict that followed.
The other party gently uncovered the Ferris wheel incident along the steps she built, that is, although it is hard to believe, is she unwilling to dismantle this small group at present?
Mai Shiratori asked herself if the roles were reversed, she wouldn't be able to do this.
It's really superfluous gentleness.
The literary girl unconsciously taps on the table, unraveling the complex mess of clues like sorting out the relationships between the characters in her pen.
The person who may become the LAST BOSS in the future is still Hoshikawa-san, but at this stage, it has really become an obstacle...... Could it be her?
At the same time as the dark side transaction full of conspiracy was being staged in the dessert shop, Li Wu was also engaged in an arduous struggle with his childhood sweetheart.
The first step is to drag her out of the bed first.
Since another quarrel with Hoshikawa Aoi, she has completely refused to communicate and hid under the covers, like a soldier holding a fortress.
Li Wu held the dolphin doll he found from the corner of the room, and stabbed the part that was supposed to be the back of the opponent's waist with a nose kiss.
The quilt squirmed for a while.
"I remember when we used to play hide and seek, Hikari once hid under the covers, and I found him immediately."
ββ¦β¦ Not immediately. β
Even if she was making an awkward scene, she still retorted unconvinced.
"Well, that's how hard it took me to find the light. Now that you've been found, can you get out of it? β
He threatenedly poked her body again under the covers, "Otherwise, I'll use coercion, I know where you are most afraid of itching." β
The other party was silent again, apparently determined to resist to the end.
The doll slides upwards along where it just touched it until it finds the touch of its waist, pressing an oval depression through the soft quilt.
"Hmm......"
As if covering her mouth, the light leaked a sigh of patience.
It seems that she can endure a little more than Arisa...... What am I comparing?
Li Wu shook his head and shook off superfluous thoughts that he shouldn't have, and patiently moved around the area repeatedly, exerting pressure like tickling.
Soon, the small voice gradually amplified into an obvious uncontrollable laughter, the figure in the quilt shrunk into a bow, and the shoulders were unconcealed and exposed, and the delicate collarbones under the messy pajamas were clearly visible.
"It's already partially out of the bed, so you should quickly admit defeat."
Frankly, after hearing the sound effect, the experience is a little more different than in the Ferris wheel, but he doesn't want to be a pervert who can answer "what does it feel like to tickle different girls twice a day"!
Probably thinking that there was no point in continuing to be strong, Hikari suddenly lifted the quilt and gasped sharply.
Because of the struggle, the hem of the pajamas rolled up, revealing a snowy soft belly, and even the pajama pants that had just touched the knees showed a tendency to slide down dangerously, and a thin layer of fabric hung below the waist, revealing the white edges.
He immediately looked away.
This is a measure to establish a dialogue with the Light, and it should not be superfluous...... Right?
Hikaru who came out of the defense line he had built didn't seem to have any intention of tidying up his messy clothes, and looked at him with such an inappropriate posture.
"In the Ferris wheel before, did Xiao Wu do this to her?"
When did you learn to read minds?!
Li Wu was suddenly startled, and the dolphin in his hand almost fell to the ground.
"What kind of thing are you talking about?"
"Attack with a strange toy made in the shape of a sea animal that can take a fish carcass as a flying cup......
In order to prevent her blood pressure from rising due to her shocking words, Li Wu covered her mouth.
"If you hate dolphins so much, don't buy a doll that looks like it! And where do I find this kind of thing on the Ferris wheel? β
Light pulled away his hand: "That means it's directly started?" β
Worst.
"That's because I thought it was Aoi who was in my group, and it was really an accident."
He was already a little tired of repeating the same explanation, and even began to regret that he had not broken the rules that everyone had set in advance to see who it was.
Everyone is cheating, and instead he begins to feel sympathy for Arisa, who is also a victim.
"Aoi ......"
Hikari repeated the salutation he had just subconsciously spit out, "If it weren't for those accidents, Xiao Wu and Hoshikawa Aoi did get together, would you still do those things?" β
"That's right, and it's been done before."
"Is there no problem with her?"
"I have to say that if there is something wrong, the accident that suddenly turned on the lights today will cause some embarrassment, but I don't think there is anything wrong with it."
The hand behind the light worked quietly, slowly, and the sheets wrinkled like unsettled water.
At first, she thought that the unknown anger was directed at the fact that she had promised to help, but in the end she had helped her with Erisa, but now she realized that the real reason was through this accident, and she caught a glimpse of the progress of the relationship between the two people that she did not know and seemed to isolate herself, as if the way she used to be called was now added to it.
She couldn't bear this atmosphere, and the two of them, who had no guesses, were connected by the covenant she persistently believed in, and the two of them were squeezed into a foreign object that could not be ignored, so she suddenly had the idea of wishing that she hadn't met everyone.
"In that case, why did you bring her to me?"
Hikari turned his head, "Isn't it more important to send her home first?"
"Hoshikawa herself followed, and she is also very concerned about your condition."
"It's really an empathetic girlfriend, won't Xiao Wu be cut off by Miss Witch if she throws her down to my side?"
Hearing that the other party really followed him out directly, he didn't care about the people in the activity room, and Guang's tone was much more relaxed, but it still sounded like a yin and yang weirdness.
Li Wu began to feel a little tired of this meaningless dispute that went back to the original point, and comforted him a little tiredly: "She is not that kind of person, and I will chase her out tonight, and you two are the same to me......"
He suddenly closed his mouth.
Hikari leaned forward slightly, moving her knees closer to the bed, as if to listen carefully for what he was going to say.
Don't say what you can't do.
The warning from the magical girl rang in her ears again.
Now, can he really say that he treats them equally? Then why did he deliberately avoid direct physical contact when he just pulled the other party out of the quilt, instead of lifting the quilt without hesitation like when he was a child?
Li Wu avoided staring intently at his girl's face, his gaze wandering around the room, eventually lowering more and more downward.
After a period of silence, he changed his words and said, "No, you are not the same. I've always treated Hikari as my own family and sister, but Hoshikawa, she's ...... to me"
The last few words seemed to weigh more than a thousand pounds and stuck on the tongue.
Hikari looked at him blankly, as if he had turned into a statue of Hachiko in front of Shibuya Station.
She suddenly grabbed the dolphin doll that had fallen to the bed and smashed it at him.
Then there was the messy quilt, the fluffy pillows, and finally the whole petite body pounced like a wounded canine.
She sat on top of the opponent who didn't resist, grabbed the glowing blade in both hands, and stabbed downward.
The edge of the blade grazed its neck into the quilt that had been thrown to the ground, and white flocculent flocculent flew out of the torn cracks, as if it were falling heavy snow in the room.
Hikari repeated the same action over and over again, as if she had a vendetta against the futon that wrapped them in them, and she had to tear it apart until the person below her grabbed her wrist and let go of her weapon.
"It's different...... Is it? β
The girl, who was almost entirely on top of him, stared down without blinking with her reddened eyes, then put her hands around his neck, her face moving closer to the top.
"Light."
He whispered her name without any objection, but she timidly stopped.
"It's different...... Does that mean you can't do this kind of thing? β
Hikari lowered his head and lay on his chest, a warm feeling of humidity spreading.
"What's going on, what do I hearβ"
Yuko Hori knocked on her daughter's door.
Before Li Wu could reply, Guang first raised his head.
"It's okay, Xiao Wu is playing a game with me."
The footsteps departed.
Hikari got up in silence, and finally lifted the pillow and slammed it on his chest, then put his hand on the hem of his pajamas, and tried to take it off.
"I'm going to sleep, Xiao Wu will go back first. I'll make it clear to you tomorrow. β
As if she had completely regained her composure, she calmly ordered the eviction, "If you don't want to leave, watch me undress." β
This is not a matter of choice.
After he left with little peace of mind, and saw that the curtain on the opposite side seemed to be opened to monitor him, he sat down at his desk and took out his blue notebook.
It was obtained from the second seal, and although she herself lost her memory of this, it was suspected that it was a journal of her own.
Moving her gaze to the last paragraph, which she was the only one to see at the time and deliberately concealed, the light closed the cover.
ββ¦β¦ It doesn't end there. β
