The Self-cultivation of the Passerby Male Protagonist

"Let's get down to business."

"Ok."

Yakumo Zi nodded with a smile, and then said: "Then back to the topic just now, from Jing... Ah, sorry, 'Jing' is the name of the previous generation of witches, and the surname is naturally Hakurei, but it should not be the case now. , so it doesn’t make sense to say it.”

"I know."

"Okay, Wu Ye, we hope you tell us honestly, how much did Jing tell?"

"...If it's the 'truth' about Hakurei Miko, she told me everything, including the source of the Miko's power and birth and...death."

"Really?" Yakumo Zi raised her eyebrows and said calmly: "That means almost everything."

"I think so, so I also hope Zi, you don't use lies to prevaricate me."

Taking a deep breath, Wu also asked seriously: "The ancient priestess... Is everything that my lord sister said true? The Hakurei priestess is the Hakurei Great Barrier itself, and its existence itself is to be used as a consumable Died and born."

"If possible, we really don't want Wu Ye to know so much. After all, sometimes the truth is very cruel."

Yakumo Zi's eyes fell on Wu Ye's body motionlessly, and after a long time, she calmed down the arc of her mouth and said calmly, "It's true."

Wu Ye felt dizzy for a while, and felt that the surrounding air seemed to be frozen, and his throat was filled with dry and bitter taste. He asked with difficulty: "Why?"

"Reason, yes, if you have to say it, it's—"

Deliberately slowing down her tone where she shouldn't have paused, Yakumo Zi, who successfully aroused all of Takeya's curiosity and attention, suddenly showed a lively smile that was a bit too much: "That's because——Takeya, we like it." you."

"……what?"

Chapter 36 Happiness and Unhappiness

Destiny is always a little naughty, she will inadvertently tease your peaceful life.

"That's because - Takeya, we like you."

The girl's golden hair was rippling with sweet autumn waves, and brought her confession. Those mature and straightforward words deeply touched the boy's heart.

The heart that was confessed for the first time in 17 years.

Um? ? ?Wait, whose line is this? ?Affinity and I are too far apart, right? !

But...it seems to be really appropriate...

"Hey hey hey~"

Just when Wu fell into bad thoughts for no reason, an untimely laughter sounded, and a mischievous smile appeared on Yakumo Zi's face.

She put her chin in her hands, leaned on the table, and looked at Wu Ye flirtingly: "It's interesting, it's really interesting, Wu Ye, we really should have recorded your expression just now with that camera, because it's really It's so much fun!"

"Do you dare to be a little more boring..."

"Don't say that, isn't this the seasoning we need right now?" Under Takeya's speechless eyes, Yakumo Zi blinked playfully and teased: "And just now, you must have thought of something strange Right? Because of our words."

"..."

Wu Ye's face flushed shamefully, he admitted, but because of Yakumo Zi's sudden "confession", some unrealistic thoughts should have arisen in his heart.

"Well, even though we said we like you, we're not joking."

"Are you still here?!"

"Haha, don't be so angry, what we said is true."

Yakumo Zi put away her childish jokes, and the color in her eyes was mature and serious: "We like you, Takeya, just like we like Reimu, you two are our treasures."

This kind of tolerant speech like a mother instantly made all of Wu Ye's complaints aborted. Yakumo Zi, who appeared as a "guardian", was a special existence in Wu Ye's heart, just like her daughter and aunt.

"It's love at first sight, isn't there such a saying? But unfortunately, it's not about you, it's about Reimu."

Putting it off a little bit, Yakumo Zi tilted his head and said in a nostalgic tone: "For Takeya, it should be a long-term relationship. After all, you see, we have been watching you since we were so young. Woolen cloth."

As she spoke, she also tried to draw the height of Wu Ye ten years ago, and Wu Ye was embarrassed when she saw it, and she didn't know where to start even if she wanted to speak.

In desperation, Wu Ye had no choice but to forcefully say, "Don't change the subject, Zi, you know what I want to ask..."

"We know that we have no intention of defending, and there is no need to lie. Everything Jing said is true, and there is nothing false about it."

"Then, why?" Wu Ye resisted the bitterness in his heart, and asked in a low voice: "Why, do you want to do this?"

"As for the reason, I'm not wrong. I still like Reimu for you. That's one of the reasons."

Yakumo Zi's eyes gradually drifted away, as if he had passed Takeya, and saw someone else from him, and after a long time, he let out such a sigh of unknown meaning——

"Sure enough, compared to that kind of guy whose origin is unknown, it is Takeya who is always by our side, which is more likable."

Wu Ye was slightly stunned, but Yakumo Zi did not give him a chance to ask questions, but took over his own words and continued: "So, we will tell you everything, and how to choose in the future, that is You are free, Takeya."

"What do you want to say?"

Wu Ye had a vague premonition that a foreign object called "destiny" was eroding his thinking, and some strong emotion was brewing in his heart.

It's like seeing a postman delivering a letter on the road, and then suddenly said in my heart, "That must be a letter for me."

Wu Ye once thought that it was an extreme egocentric syndrome originating from the Second Secondary Disease, but thinking about it now, it might not be that simple.

At this moment, Wu also noticed a strange feeling in himself that was different from passers-by, similar to the protagonist, as if what Zi Yakumo wanted to say was prepared for him.

Wu Ye suddenly wanted to escape, and the long-lost cowardice occupied seven or eight out of ten of his will.
