[Net King] It's just that the butterfly doesn't want to

Although it is unbelievable, I am indeed trapped in the time cycle for some reason.

Ogata Yui looked sideways.

The sun slanted down and fell on the young man's eyebrows, and the magnificent rays of light fell into his eyes, making him look even more moving.Marui Bunta has an appearance that looks easy to make people happy. If you want to use a metaphor, it looks like a rose blooming in the morning sun.

She recalled in a daze, before everything started, when they met for the first time in a real sense, the moment she saw Wentai, she was probably willing to laugh.

However, as time goes back again and again, when she faces him now, she will only have many complicated emotions uncontrollably and continuously.

The cake has been finished and placed between the two of them, Mrs. Wen can touch it as long as she reaches out.He looked at the girl a little strangely, but she didn't refuse or say "yes", after she was done, she stood there quietly, her light-colored pupils covered with quiet gloom.

Wen Tai raised her head and propped her chin with her right hand, "Are you in a bad mood?"

"..."

The girl's plain expression softened a little, as if she didn't expect him to say that.

She looked at Wentai quietly with an indescribably complex gaze, "Why do you ask that?"

Wen Tai was stunned for a moment, "Because...you don't talk."

But she didn't seem to be asking him.

Her eyes seemed to be focused on him, and she seemed to be staring at some emptiness. She muttered something strangely, but Wen Tai didn't hear clearly.

That's weird.

Yui Ogata thought that she thought that Marui Bunta was a task NPC who came to check in regularly, and would leave after finishing her lines and achieving her goal.

In an instant, many images appeared in my mind, and finally the boy's eyes gradually became silent when he was rejected for the first time.

She sighed silently from the bottom of her heart, and removed the cake between the two of them.

"You can't eat it."

Yui Ogata answered his first question softly.

As she expected, time did not turn back at this moment. Fumta Marui was probably a reasonable guy, and it was his second question that would really trigger time back.

The boy straightened up a little, and asked casually as if he was just curious.

--"Why?"

Even if the young man is not aware of it himself, Yui Ogata is almost certain in the experience after experience that the time regression is based on Marui Bunta's will.

In the previous few times, she did not give any reason to convince him.

This time...will it be different?

Ogata Yui thought so, almost holding his breath.

"I put the wrong ingredients." While weaving an excuse on the surface calmly, she picked up the cake and wanted to throw it into the trash can, with a regretful tone, "It should be very difficult to eat."

But an opposing force held her back.

The boy grabbed the other end of the plate, tilted his head and encouraged her innocently, "How will you know if you don't try?"

"……what?"

He didn't seem to be able to see the girl's vaguely resisting attitude, he grinned without thinking, and said, "But I want to try."

The heart beat suddenly uncontrollably, Ogata Yui subconsciously withdrew his hand, trying to stay as far away as possible from Fumi Marui who could easily affect her.

She was all too familiar with this feeling.

During the first acquaintance, she often had this kind of illusion similar to heartbeat, and many times, she would vaguely obey the illusion. She guessed that she should like Wentai.

But in a deeper place in his heart, there was a weak voice that was born at an unknown time, firmly and repeatedly denying this idea.

"It's going to be tough."

Under her cautious reminder, Mrs. Wen picked up the spoon, took a bite out of the cake, and then showed a somewhat dumbfounding expression on her face.

"So...you really didn't lie." The young man commented tactfully.

However, he picked up another piece again, and Ogata Yui's eyes widened in surprise. In her impression, Wen Tai is the most picky person in the world when it comes to desserts. This failed work, no matter what, it is impossible to please him. like.

She stared blankly for a while before remembering to stop him.

"...Try it once and forget it." As the instigator, she is very aware of how many things that shouldn't be put in this finished product. The taste should be very strange, but Wen Tai doesn't seem to care at all, and she didn't even twitch her brows.

"Don't eat it."

After a while, seeing that Marui Bunta was not obedient, she took back the half-empty cake with some force.

The atmosphere instantly quieted down.

In the ear, I even hallucinately heard the sound of the clock hands moving away, and the flow of time seemed to become very slow.

Just when Yui Ogata was ready to accept the punishment of going back in time, a familiar bell rang throughout the campus.She looked sideways, and the laughing classmates came out of the teaching building one after another, and their figures fell into the shadows of lush green trees on both sides of the school road.

After staring for a while, she looked away.

...Let Fumta Marui eat such an outrageous thing and take away the cake, but it didn't trigger the time reversal.

This reality made the girl feel at a loss for a moment.

"It's probably strange to say that." The young man smiled, his expression a little embarrassed, but he still explained, "But I always feel that maybe you did this for me specially."

"..."

"So I think, no matter what the taste is, we should take it as it is." The boy's eyelashes trembled slightly in the sunset, showing a look that could almost arouse pity, "If it's not delicious, That shouldn't be your problem."

"..."

It turned out he wasn't unaware.

Her random ingredients, her unorganized cooking skills... and the dishes she made out of malice knowing that he would come, deliberately wanting to mess with him.

Although he changed his mind midway, the boy still saw everything in his eyes.

However, he just accepted all this inexplicable, and concluded gently: "It's my problem."

"Your question?" Yui Ogata repeated mechanically.

"Well, of course." The boy said carelessly, as if he didn't feel hurt.His eyes fell on the cake in her hand, and he stared at it intently for a while, without any complaints in his tone, as if he was saying an unimportant joke, "If, this is the cooking you made with the feeling for me— —That should be me, makes you feel bad, right?"

"..."

Ogata Yui couldn't refute, let alone answer.

She seemed to recognize Bunta Marui for the first time, her hazel eyes reflected the shadow of a boy, and for the first time she was free from the perfunctory meaning of staring at "symbols" or "phantoms".

She couldn't help recalling the bits and pieces of getting along with him before.

What kind of person is Marui Bunta?

In the process of meeting for the first time, the young man is cheerful and enthusiastic. As long as he appears there, it is very easy to make people feel good.Therefore, even if you find that he holds the initiative and the rhythm of communication, you just let it take its course and hold his outstretched hand.

He has an appropriate thoughtfulness.

For example, when she was depressed, she proposed to try her cake, and patiently encouraged her to take every action... Under those peaceful appearances, even if she found something abnormal, she would only sigh with emotion——

Marui Bunta is really a careful person.

Instead of thinking from the bottom of my heart like now——

Marui Bunta is a horrible person.

Probably because of her obedience and cooperation in the past, she has never faced the overwhelming and tricky side of the boy.

Yui Ogata seemed to be truly aware of the person in front of her for the first time, thinking in a daze that she didn't know much about Bunta Marui. This strange cognition gave her an illusion as if she was looking down from a tall building. The sense of weightlessness and a trace of fear of wanting to step back.

But at this moment, by the window under the setting sun, she had no room to retreat, and had to meet the boy's clear gaze and his unusually calm inquiry behind his pretended curiosity.

【—Am I someone who makes you feel bad?why? 】

After putting aside this wordless inquiry, he waited patiently... Or rather, the young man who didn't know that he could go back in time was forcing her to make a statement.

Why does she think Marui Bunta is a measured and reasonable person?

——Ogata Yui regretted what he thought just now.

There is no more unreasonable guy in this world than him.Even if it was the first meeting, he would not give up until he got a satisfactory answer.There seems to be no slow-moving or point-and-shoot in the young man's concept, but it is full of very contradictory, gentle and implicitly aggressive characteristics that belong to him alone.

If I have to describe it, it is a kind of knowing willful willfulness.

"..."

The time was pulled longer by the silence, and the twilight gradually enveloped the square inch of the land. Yui Ogata blinked his eyes lightly, and finally, he could only look away as if admitting defeat, "I'll make another one."

She turned her back to the boy, but didn't move.

In the dark classroom, the atmosphere was strangely suppressed for a long time before a low voice came.

"Just now, I'm sorry."

Mrs. Wen was still silent, with a quiet and obedient appearance, as if she hadn't heard the inexplicable apology, and she didn't ask why.What he had been waiting intently for was the answer to another question, and only cared about that.

Of course Ogata Yui knew what answer he wanted to hear, but she just avoided doing other things. She reached out to take the kitchen utensils off the shelf, restless, her outstretched hand touched something else, cold, Sharp, quickly cut through the palm.

The warm blood slid down the lines of the palm, and fell silently into the darkness, the boy behind him didn't notice it.

Ogata Yui lowered her head and observed the scratch by the faint light of the oven indicator light. The wound was deep, but she clenched her fist slightly as if she couldn't feel the pain, and the flowing blood dripped down more quickly.

Strange, won't it hurt?

……

She didn't have more time to study this issue, and the eyes behind her were still watching this side, like a light on her back.

The sound of the hour hand moving slowly reappeared in her mind as an illusion, and the invisible oppressive feeling condensed from the void and fell rapidly. At the last moment of the nick, she finally let go of her teeth and swallowed the faint smell of blood in her mouth.

"...I don't think there is anything bad about you." In the end, Yui Ogata said nonchalantly with his hands behind his back.

"Is that so?" Fumita Marui was like a simple boy, who became happy because of a simple sentence from others, and he replied not without joy, "That's really great!"

……

It's over.

At the same time, Ogata Yui thought.

If this is really a game, the opening score is 0:1, this game is undoubtedly a disadvantaged game.

The author has something to say: Marui Bunta is just a low-key boss.
