The autumn rain is continuous.

The sounds of rain hitting leaves, falling on the ground, and hitting umbrellas all rang out one after another, intertwining into a quiet little song.

The autumn wind was bleak, blowing Shi Yu's long shiny black hair like a black waterfall, flying messily in the air.

But she remained unmoved. She just stared at the young man in front of her steadily, his figure reflected in her wine-red pupils, and thousands of thoughts surged in her heart.

Time began to rewind rapidly, and the picture was pulled back frame by frame, and it returned to the quiet library dyed red by the sunset.

The strange voice, the boy he admired, and the girl who crawled out from under his desk - a girl she had never laid eyes on.

Fear and uneasiness fill the brain.

That day, she felt the emotion called cowardice for the first time.

Even though the answer to the mystery was revealed in front of her eyes through the connected clues, in a corner of her heart, she preferred not to take off the fig leaf.

The senses I had at that time are still in my body.

Judging from Shinjoka's skillful movements, the relationship between the two people should have been maintained for a long time.

This realization was cold and cruel, and she couldn't help but hug her arms tightly, pinching her arms with angry fingers.

What exactly does Kato Yusuke think, why is he entangled with Shinjoka, and what is his purpose.

Even though she discovered the cheating of the one she admired with her own eyes, Kasumigaoka Shiyu still forced herself to think calmly about the causes and consequences.

Ever since the two returned from Hokkaido, Kato Yusuke's state has been very strange.

It was as if the other party had erected a high wall around itself, isolating itself from the rest of the world.

This feeling is not only felt by her, but also by Megumi Kato and Eri Sawamura.

About what exactly happened in Hokkaido, why he went there, and how he spent those two weeks.

Kato Yusuke never said a word.

So no one knows.

This situation made Shiyu feel sad and angry.

There was both anger at him being entangled with Shinjoka, and also sadness at being kept away from him by the high wall.

My thoughts formed a messy net, and the net became tighter and tighter, reaching straight to my heart. I stopped after a dull pain.

Face this young man in front of you.

All she has ever done is to be his one and only, his special, his irreplaceable, but the other party's rejection is also very decisive.

If she hadn't seen Shinjoka's scene, she might still be able to endure it. Until she was completely sure, she could still hold on to the mentality of boiling a frog in warm water and grind slowly.

But after witnessing that scene with my own eyes, such thoughts completely disappeared.

Every time he thought of the scene at that time, Shiyu clenched his teeth uncontrollably, wishing to tear the two of them into pieces.

If it were anyone else, she would have definitely done this a long time ago, and would have shown her cold tongue without mercy, scolded her, then sprinkled salt on the wound and applied chili oil, and finally turned around with ease.

Leave.

——But Kato Yusuke is different.

Only he is completely different to me.

For Shiyu, Kato Yusuke is a ray of light, a flower, a fine wine, a nectar, and the salvation of her bad life in the past few years.

Ever since she first eavesdropped on his conversation with Aki Ryouya, and ever since that painting by Teacher Eromanga, she had believed so strongly.

Then came the plot guidance, the speech to the student union, the idea of ​​​​game production, and winning the sports meeting...

If at first she just thought this junior was good-looking and liked his appearance.

So after experiencing so many things and learning more about him, I was even more amazed by his talent, and therefore completely fell in love with him.

That's why Shiyu was willing to pave the way for him, even at the expense of his own reputation and feathers, just to be able to stand by his side and extend this happy time forever.

Everything combined made her unwilling to miss his life.

The boy she liked came from the sky, and he accidentally overturned the candle and ignited the twilight in her eyes...

The lingering thoughts affect my thoughts and stir up the seemingly peaceful and peaceful inner lake.

Until that day comes...

Thinking of this, Shiyu's eyes couldn't help but be filled with complexity, and he endured the sourness in his nose and said slowly:

"So far, you have been ignoring me for nine days in a row. How long do you plan to continue?"

The sound of rain could be heard in my ears.

Kato Yusuke looked back at her, his eyes calm, and said simply: "I'm not ignoring you on purpose, it's just that you have been asking for leave."

"Well, I'm just not ignoring it on purpose, but I won't take the initiative to contact you, right...?"

"...I'll take you back first. Miss Machida is almost anxious to the point of calling the police."

"I haven't disappeared for that long, and the police can't afford to mobilize troops for this situation."

"...I know for sure that if we want to do this, my senior's character is too naughty." Kato Yusuke's tone was a little helpless.

"That's not the case." Shiyu suddenly raised the corners of his mouth weakly and smiled: "I will go back obediently under extreme circumstances."

What is the ultimate situation?

Kato Yusuke speculated aimlessly.

For example, he didn't come to Hehe City after receiving the call? Or maybe he couldn't find her traces because he didn't have a tracker...?

The girl continued talking the next moment: "Anyway, you can appear here, and your score is not low."

"...If this is the case, can we go back?"

"Not yet."

"..."

"Of course, you can also leave me here and report my whereabouts to Miss Machida. That is also a route, but I don't know whether the ending is TE or BE."

"If we use the analogy of a game, there should be an option to take someone away by force."

"Haha~ You are right. If you are willing to do that, I will not resist."

Saying this, Shi Yu tilted her head slightly and opened her red lips: "But I won't actively cooperate, so you can only choose between holding me or carrying me. So what are you going to do, Yu-chan?"

?”

There was a gap of several beats.

"How can Senior Shiyu go back?"

"I want you to tell me what happened in Hokkaido, including the reason for the change in your hair color, the injury on your left hand, and everything you encountered there."

Kato Yusuke's narrow eyes flashed with a hint of annoyance, his face darkened slightly, and he remained silent.

Seeing this, Shiyu was neither angry nor annoyed, and raised two fingers as the next best thing, "...if you don't want to, forget it, I have a second plan here, do you want to listen?"

"What."

"I want you to date me and be my boyfriend."

Silence spread between the two of them.

"If the target is you..." Shiyu crossed his arms and continued in a calm tone: "I am willing to do anything, and I am also confident. I will definitely do better than Shinjoka."

Kato Yusuke looked at her wordlessly, his eyes became deep and reserved, and then whispered back: "...I have already said what needs to be said before, senior sister."

"You have said it, more than once... But this time is different." Shiyu said: "I want to exercise my rights."

"What does it mean?"

"I also like the way you pretend to be confused, but unfortunately I've had enough of waiting, refusing or perfunctory. Only this time, I hope you can make it clear."

"...?"

Kato Yusuke frowned slightly, feeling puzzled by this riddle-like conversation, so he observed her expression while thinking deeply.

The girl in front of her narrowed her eyes slightly, her wet hair stuck to her cheeks and neck, and her fair skin was rosy.

Her figure is plump and tall, but her arms are very slender. Therefore, when she hugs her chest, she cannot completely cover the lace that is as delicate as morning glory under the shirt that is slightly transparent due to the rain.

Seeing that he couldn't come up with anything for a long time, Zi Chou Yin, Shi Yu finally took the initiative to speak.

"...Okay, what I mean is to exercise the condition you promised me before. The content is what I just said. I want you to date me."

The girl's eyes were deep and transparent, like two mysterious morning stars, but there was a bit of emptiness in them.

"..."

There was no emotion in Kato Yusuke's eyes, and he said calmly: "...I'm sorry, I can't do this. You can change it, Shiyu-senpai."

"I won't change, I want this." Shiyu shook his head slowly, a noble and tenacious look on his beautiful face.

"So whether you want to fulfill your promise and date me or not, please make your decision now, Kato Yusuke-san."

She asked solemnly, her voice was like a flute played on a spring night, and the clouds covered her eyes, as if it was about to rain.
