[Comprehensive] Kazuya's happy life

The moment he was about to pass by, as expected, Kazuya's wrist was grabbed.

"Kazuya! Wait! I can explain..."

The expression on that person's face was an unprecedented panic and bewilderment.

But He also clearly saw a trace of inconspicuous hesitation and hesitation in his eyes...

He couldn't help but sigh heavily.

--Knew it.

Even after so many years.

The figure and face of the boy in the memory seemed to have become blurred.

But Kazuya was alone away from his parents, elder brother, and Xiaoqingmei from the next door, and was forced to shoulder the weight of another person's life ignorantly. It was at the loneliest and most confused time that he gave him the warmth and companionship he needed most. People, but still occupy a unique and heavy weight in his heart.

So, even if you feel resentful and annoyed at the other party's failure to keep promises, no matter how much you decide to never have any "future" with this person, as long as you see the other party's unfailing frankness in front of you like now Posture of weakness...

He couldn't be cruel to the other party at all.

He also felt deeply powerless and frustrated with such a soft-hearted self.

——That's why I said that even if he has died once, he is still Kazuya Uesugi.

Kazuya sighed deeply again.

"I see."

He turned around, facing Tsuruga Ren who was staring at him eagerly:

"Let's have a good talk. However, I have other things to do right now. Why don't you make an appointment at another time that is convenient for you?"

Tsuruga Ren seemed a little reluctant, but under Kazuya's menacing (?) gaze, he nodded obediently:

"Then let's exchange phone numbers and email addresses first?"

Can He Ye refuse such a legitimate reason of "exchange the contact information first so that we can make an appointment later"?

He could only take out his phone with a straight face.

But what He doesn't know is that his deliberately stern face is exactly the same as when he lost his temper with him for the first time when Jiu Yuan did something dangerous when he was a child. However, at this moment, all the emotions were calmed down.

"And also."

His voice calling him had returned to its usual soft and calm voice.

However, Kazuya, who was busy saving email addresses, didn't notice this small change.

"Huh?" He subconsciously responded.

Then, I heard the other party say something to him in an extremely solemn tone:

"……sorry."

The movements of Kazuya's hands stopped involuntarily.

He still lowered his head, and didn't deliberately raise his eyes to see what kind of expression the other party had on his face at the moment.

It's just that the corners of the originally tightly pursed lips raised slightly unconsciously.

"The reply to your sentence, I will decide after I listen to your so-called 'explanation'."

He pretended to be indifferent while talking, while speeding up the movement of his fingertips to save the other party's contact information.

During this process, Kazuya never raised his head, and, in the end, he maintained such a posture, walked quickly past the other party, and walked in the direction he came from without looking back.

Therefore, he would not know that behind him, the young man who had already begun to be called the "National God" by many people watched him leave with soft eyes...

***

After Kazuya returned to the restaurant, he was really read aloud by Kise.

The image of the yellow-haired boy who was aggrieved into a q-version of the steamed bun face completely condemned Kazuya's "gone and never returned" with tears in his eyes!

"If you're going to delay your return for so long, at least give me a message." Huang Lai puffed her cheeks, not knowing whether she was angry or simply being cute, "Although this is the site of that senior, it's been a long time since no one Dare to make trouble here, but what if you are unlucky and meet a newcomer who doesn’t understand the rules? What if it’s such a coincidence that someone gets drunk and loses all their senses? What if someone just doesn’t like you and obviously doesn’t care about you What if you are involved in these disputes? What if you get hurt because of this?"

"Do you know I'm worried! The longer you're away, the more you feel like something's going to happen!" He complained repeatedly.

And the one who was read was also consciously wronged, so he didn't show any impatience with his friend's random thoughts.

"Yes, if there is a next time, I must remember to inform you in advance, okay?" He admitted his mistake + promised, "I didn't expect to meet someone I know here—you know that I am completely familiar with the entertainment industry. Is it a stranger?"

Speaking of this topic, Kise's attention was indeed diverted:

"Speaking of which, who is this 'acquaintance' you mentioned? I was very curious when I heard you say that on the phone!"

——Because, as Kazuya said, he and the entertainment industry don't talk about intersections, even if he doesn't pay unilateral attention, it's really hard for Kise to imagine that he can meet any acquaintances here.

And Kazuya had considered before whether to tell Kise about the entanglement between him and Tsuruga Ren.

He didn't think there was any need to keep the matter secret.

Firstly, he trusts Kise very much, and secondly, Kise is not the kind of big mouth who will tell his friends' private affairs everywhere.

Moreover, although this kid usually acts careless and careless as if he is very careless, Kazuya also knows that Kise is actually a delicate person who knows how to measure.

In addition to the relationship between the two, it is nothing more than saying "they are each other's best friends"...

So Kazuya decided to tell Kise the truth without much hesitation.

As he expected, when he briefly summed up the entanglement between himself and "Tsuga Ren" and told Kise...

"……Eh?!!!!!!"

After being dazed for a full 2 ​​minutes, Kise, who finally came to his senses, lowered his voice and let out an exclamation that was enough to show how "shocked" he was.

"You mean Tsuruga Ren? That Tsuruga Ren?!!!!"

He had an expression of "I seem to have heard something I shouldn't have heard" on his face. After getting Kazuya's nod for confirmation, he even meant to move closer to the famous painting "The Scream":

"That Tsuruga Ren?! That Tsuruga Ren!!"

While repeating the name tirelessly, he glanced back and forth at his friend with eyes like looking at some rare animal:

"Should I say that you are lucky or what? This kind of classic plot of 'a friend I met by chance when I was young turned into a national male god and still has a crush on me~~!' has been met by you... …Believe it or not, those girls will go crazy with jealousy?”

...Leave the rest aside, what the hell is that "kia~~"!

He also couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" He scrunched up his face, "Why are you so infatuated... You've watched too many series."

Kise pouted, "But you also said that the reason why he didn't recognize you is because he always thought you were a 'girl'!"

So how can it be asserted that Tsuruga Ren has no ulterior (?) special feelings for Kazuya?

Otherwise, why did he care so much about Kazuya's reaction?

Seeing that Kazuya was angry, he would apologize and make amends in such a low voice?

Although I haven't had much contact with him, and there has only been one cooperation like today, Kise is confident that he has a pretty good eye for people. That senior Tsuruga who is generally well-reviewed in the industry and recognized as "gentle and considerate", inside... ...Actually, he should be a very proud person.

Such a man is willing to bow his head to Kazuya willingly, and put on such a sincere and repentant gesture...

Looking thoughtfully at his friends again, Kise suddenly felt that his guess might be unexpectedly reliable!

Kazuya knew what he was thinking just by looking at his expression.

The original crying and laughing had to change from suddenly to angry and funny——

"Stop messing around there."

If it weren't for the distance between the two of them sitting opposite each other, he would have wanted to knock Kise on the head!

"The reason why he cares about me so much is because the time we got together when we were young was very short - there was only less than one summer vacation, but we really talked about many, many secret things. I think it was him and I never Tell anyone else, before telling each other, only you know what's on your mind?"

"It's no wonder that childhood friends who have shared such intimate feelings...don't care."

"Otherwise, do you think that with my kind personality, why would I care so much about his missed appointment?"

Kazuya didn't seem to feel any embarrassment at all, and frankly confessed his feelings at the moment to his friend.

"If there wasn't that level of communication, I would be as angry at you as usual at most, and I would be fine after venting my anger face to face. How could it be like before, and I don't intend to have anything to do with the other party at all."

"—That sounds very free and easy, generous, and not to pursue it, but in fact...doesn't it mean that you will never forgive the other party, don't even give a chance to make up for it, and want to bear the grudge for a lifetime...doesn't that mean?"

"..." After listening to Kazuya's own analysis, Kise was stunned!

At first, he just thought that He Ye was a little concerned, but he didn't expect that there was such a deep meaning behind it? !

"...I'm sorry that I have underestimated you all this time, please accept my sincere apology, Kazuya-sama!!"

Putting his palms together in front of his eyes, Kise lowered his head in a gesture of sincere repentance.

Kazuya was suddenly stunned: "...what the hell are you doing?"

"Cough...just kidding." Kise retracted his hands, and stuck out his tongue at Xianghe.

"I just think that Kazuya, you are so black-bellied...... No, I mean empathy." He said with a smile.

"..." Kazuya couldn't complain.

Those two words are completely irrelevant no matter from the angle of near sense or the angle of antonym.

This change of words is too far-fetched.

Kise looked at his speechless expression and smiled.

"But I think it's pretty good." He held his chin and looked at Kazuya peacefully: "It's rare, such Kazuya. I think it's very good."

"……yes."

He blushed for some reason.

But soon, he calmed down, raised his eyes and looked back at Kise:

"Okay, let's stop this topic here. In short, until I get his explanation, I don't think there is any need to worry about it alone. Besides, it was Ryota, you have something to discuss with me? How did it become Talk about me?"

When he said this, Kise finally realized——

"That's right! I wanted to discuss the little blackie with you!"

As he spoke, he naturally put on a serious expression, and even his sitting posture became upright:

"So, Kazuya, what do you think? About Kuroko quitting the basketball club without saying hello to any of us?"
