Chapter 40: The Lie of Backlash(1/2)
I am indeed very dissatisfied with Kitahara-senpai. If you don’t have permission, please don’t do unnecessary things. This is the basic rule. Maybe you really like to help others, and maybe many people are also happy to get your help, but this
It does not mean that you can control the development of the situation according to your mood at any time.
However, facing my question, Kitahara Haruki just pressed her forehead, and then looked at me with some trouble: "Kazuya, do you just want to ask this question?"
"Isn't this problem serious enough?"
"Are you troubled Kazuya?"
"It not only troubles me personally, but also troubles Yui-san. There may be more people who will be troubled by this unintentional reminder from Kitahara-senpai."
It is conceivable that if this kind of question is spread, it will also be a kind of trouble for the current Yukinoshita Yukino. Didn't this guy consider this before making these actions?
"Wait a minute, wait a minute," Kitahara Haruki said, still calmly controlling her emotions, "I think Kazuya, you may have exaggerated the seriousness of the problem. I just gave a suggestion to Io. Io is
She is a very measured person. She will not spread those unverified words. She is not a member of the press department, is she?"
"So I have to thank the seniors for not telling the seniors in the Information Department about this, right?"
"I won't take the initiative to say something like this to someone who is just speculating. You know this, don't you?" Kitahara Haruki looked at me with a smile and replied.
"Then I should really thank Kitahara-senpai for his decent behavior!"
"Of course there is no need to thank you, but Kazuya, since you mentioned this matter, I think I should discuss it with you about Xiaomu-san."
"So, the question is here. Did Senior Xiaomu ask you to care? If there was no request, why would you do such a thing?"
"So, what Kazuya means is that if you see Xiaomu-san facing this situation, will you turn a blind eye?" Kitahara Haruki raised her voice and answered me in a serious tone for the first time.
"If it were me"
Damn it, he caught me in his weakness!
"It's okay if you can calm down and listen to me. Even if, as you said, I didn't tell Xiaomu-san about this matter, Xiaomu-san doesn't know much about it either. But, as Xiaomu-san's friend, of course I don't
Are you willing to see Xiaomu-san feel as uncomfortable as he is now?"
"I know, so I want to solve it quickly!"
Although I was very dissatisfied, I couldn't get angry, and I felt more and more that the rhythm had been brought to the level that Kitahara Haruki was accustomed to. I still couldn't stand it when I came to her impulsively.
"Of course, I also know that Kazuya understands this, so Yisu is just looking for your sister. We are just hinting, telling Kazuya not to drag it on any longer. I think Kazuya is completely understandable about this idea, no.
?"
"Well enough."
"You are a first-year student, and you may have been a little busy recently, so you may not know much about Xiaomu-san's current situation. Of course, she is a girl who is very good at disguising herself, so of course most people cannot detect anything strange about her, but I am lucky.
, I had some cooperation with her before, so I have some understanding, but Xiaomu’s current situation is much worse than what she showed!”
"You know, Xiaomu originally promised to help Dongma with tutoring during the light music club activities. She did so in the past few weeks, but recently, probably after the incident between you and her, neither I nor Dongma
Invite her, well, actually the main reason is that when I invited her to study together, she refused. Yisu said that she also showed obvious distraught and coping emotions when talking to her classmates in the class. Obviously, she has feelings for you.
I care a lot about things.”
"Although there are not many people who can see it, there are a few after all, so there will be senior students who will come to settle accounts with you. Fortunately, these people were stopped by us in advance."
"Kitahara-senpai, you really care about Xiaomu-senpai. We are obviously not in the same class."
"There's nothing we can do about it. We should be considered friends after all, right?" Kitahara Haruki scratched her head and smiled sheepishly, "Besides, it's really difficult for me to tutor Touma's studies by myself. That guy is so disobedient.
We have to count on Xiaomu!"
"Of course, if it's just like this, the situation is not very obvious, but, Kazuya," Kitahara sighed and said to me, "you should know what time it is now, right?"
"Now?" I was stunned for a moment, and then I immediately came to my senses.
Really, Kitahara Haruki found a reason to intervene!
"Yes, now is an important time to review for the entrance exam," Kitahara Haruki said seriously, "This bad emotional state will affect Xiaomu's review and preparation for the exam. No matter how difficult it is, even if you have refused
Xiaomu, you shouldn’t affect Xiaomu’s preparation for the exam, right?”
It was a complete failure, a complete failure. From the very beginning, I did not grasp the highest point of morality. In other words, I refused the senior and delayed it for so long. I had no moral advantage. This problem was grasped by Kitahara-senpai.
I chased him fiercely, magnified it infinitely, and only grasped the trivial issue of "not getting the other party's permission." I couldn't compete with him.
"Okay, but I still have a question."
"It's okay. I can tell you everything I can solve."
"If senior just wants to hint me to give a reply to Xiaomu-senpai quickly, then I can understand it, but why should I hint to my sister that my relationship with Yukinoshita involves too many other people?"
"Ah, this is actually just my guess. The reason why Kazuya rejected Xiaomu is that you have a girlfriend, and recently I feel that you and that Yukinoshita classmate appear together very frequently, so there is this
It’s normal to have doubts, right? If this is confirmed, Xiaomu can understand it, right? To be honest, if it’s Yukinoshita-san, Xiaomu-san should be able to accept it.”
"But, I'm sorry, senior, Yukinoshita and I have no such relationship."
"That was a mistake in judgment. I'm really sorry."
"This kind of error in judgment cannot be solved with just one sentence!"
"Well, that's true, but that's not the problem, Kazuya," Kitahara Haruki raised her eyebrows and said, "Did you ask me just now, did I get Xiaomu's permission for the things I did?"
"Didn't Senior mean nothing just now?"
"Ah, please pay attention to the wording I used before. I used 'even'! So, the meaning of my explanations just now is that if Xiaomu-san does not allow me to do this, then, as a friend, I will still do it
These things. What I said just now are just explanations to make that situation reasonable."
"So, what senior means is"
"Of course, Xiaomu didn't explicitly ask me to do anything. It's just that when I asked her to give Touma tutoring lessons before, I mentioned that Kazuya, you have been getting closer to Yukinoshita recently, and she was a little curious. You know
Of course, Xiaomu cannot directly say that she wants to know these situations, but her curiosity can be felt, right? At this time, of course I can consider doing something for my friends, right? "
As a result, even my initial unreasonable doubts were easily overturned.
I don’t think Kitahara Haruki is lying. Kitahara Haruki never lies.
However, I can't understand why senior would acquiesce in such a thing and why he would give such hints. So, is it really as Kitahara Haruki said, is Ogi-senpai's condition already so bad?
"So, why?"
"I just think, Kazuya, you don't need to insist on this pointlessly anymore, right?" The voice that answered me was a voice I hadn't heard for a long time.
"Sorry, Kazuya, I just felt that the time was almost up, and then I happened to know that you came to see Kitahara-san, so I showed up without permission." Compared to the previous meeting, Ogi-senpai was not too worried.
The change, the slight haggardness was well concealed, the gentle voice was as moving as ever, and most importantly, the clear concern for me in the eyes of the seniors has never changed.
"What does meaningless persistence mean?"
"That is to say, Kazuya's insistence on rejecting me is pointless!" Senior Xiaomu smiled softly and said softly, "Although I don't know why Kazuya rejected me, but the reason why Kazuya rejected me is the so-called
Yes, the reasons why you have a girlfriend and other people you like are fake, right?"
The penetrating eyes focused on me, giving me a fear of being completely seen through.
"If I was just unwilling to accept it because I couldn't believe it at the time, then after waiting for a while, I think I can confirm this. If Kazuya already has a girlfriend, then I don't believe that girl will
Watching another girl entangled with you calmly, she should soon reveal her identity to me, right?"
"That's because, well, that girl is not that arrogant kind of girl."
"So, Kazuya, you don't understand girls. Even girls who are not arrogant will become aggressive when they see that their boyfriend is in danger of being snatched away by others, unless she herself is
Feeling guilty."
"There will be special circumstances, right?"
It's still the same. In front of my seniors, I showed myself restrained and even my momentum was completely lost.
"It's a special situation, Kazuya, can you explain it?"
"Well"
"Of course, what Kitahara-san mentioned before, Yukinoshita-san, I believed from the beginning that Kazuya would have nothing to do with that Yukinoshita-san. Haven't you told me your relationship style before?
?”
Indeed, in the countless chats I had with my senior, and in my complaints to her about Yukinoshita, she had already become extremely clear about my relationship with Yukinoshita. People who know these inside stories are totally helpless.
Imagine that I would have strange feelings for Yukinoshita.
"Kazuya, the mistake you made is a bit childish. You should know that until before the cultural festival, I knew your affairs very clearly. Even after the cultural festival, when we were not in a cold war,
Over time, I also know your affairs very well. As long as you are a girl in Sobu High School, if you want to lie, I can expose it."
"Although I was shocked by what Kazuya said at the time, when I think back carefully, I realize that Kazuya's words were completely lies. I was also frightened by such an answer and was at a loss what to do," Senior Kogi smiled lightly.
Then, he continued, "However, since Kazuya wanted to reject me at that time, you must have your own reasons, so I did not expose you immediately afterwards, but you can think about it, are the reasons at that time still valid now?
"
The reason at that time?
Indeed, I haven't considered the reasons for rejecting my seniors for a long time. I just insisted on the fact that I rejected my seniors and forgot why I wanted to reject my seniors.
So, why refuse?
It should be a suggestion to solve the problem. By rejecting senior, everyone's attention will be focused on me, so that Kogi-senpai, Hikigaya and others can escape from the whirlpool.
