social animal love rule

The voice in my ear is just like in my memory.

Asuka Maozawa's eyes followed his fingers and landed on the movie ticket on the table, then raised his head in a daze, and looked at Sakamoto, who watched her quietly through his glasses.

This is not a dream, is it?

She called out the name softly as if in a dream, "Sakamoto-san...?"

"Hmm." Sakamoto looked at Asuka Maozawa with a sluggish face as if confirming, "It's me, Mr. Maozawa doesn't remember me? Indeed, it's been so long, it's normal that I can't remember clearly, then I Let me introduce myself again..."

He took a step back slightly, looking like he was about to bow and salute, and introduce himself again.

"No, no, of course not!" Asuka Maozawa hurriedly interrupted him, "It's Sakamoto-san, how could I forget it, it's just..."

Asuka Maoze looked at him carefully again.

Sakamoto's black mid-length hair is neatly combed, just like the spotless school uniform he wore in high school, and the suit on his body is also straight. This kind of dress looks like Sakamoto's style, which makes Asuka Maoze feel involuntarily. familiar.

Even though nearly ten years have passed, he doesn't seem to have changed from that year.

Asuka Maozawa smiled, "It's just, I didn't expect... It's been so many years, Sakamoto-san, do you still remember me?"

She finished her sentence halfway, and didn't continue. She was a little fat in high school, because she admired Sakamoto, even if she was not short-sighted, she still wore black-rimmed glasses. Now that I think about it, she should be silly at that time.

At that time, she had just come to Tokyo from the countryside, and she had no sense of presence in class, and was often said to be withdrawn.

She was always alone in school, did not join any clubs, went home after class, and never talked to others. At that time, it was indeed the loneliest period of time for her. It is not surprising that she was said to be lonely. After leaving his hometown in Tsugaru, he came to Tokyo alone.

In fact, when she first transferred to that high school, her heart was indeed full of fear and anxiety.

But she didn't intentionally ignore people, she was just afraid that her classmates would laugh at her strong Tsugaru accent, and she was ashamed to speak. At that time, she found her lonely and was willing to talk to her only the serious and serious Sakamoto-san,

Later, it was also because of Sakamoto's enthusiastic help that Asuka Nekozawa's personality gradually became brighter.

Asuka Mozawa recalled now that when she first met Sakamoto, she was quite afraid of this serious-looking classmate. He was meticulous in everything he did, and his uniform was always neat and tidy. an expression...

But not long after, she gradually discovered that Sakamoto is a very gentle person. If it wasn't for Sakamoto's help, who patiently taught her to speak Mandarin and helped her integrate into the group, she might still not be able to get out of the original loneliness.

To her, Sakamoto is a turning point and a guiding light in her life.

He is an important person who almost influenced Asuka Maoze's entire girlhood, and he was almost the same as when he was in high school. Asuka Maozawa recognized him almost at a glance, but she didn't expect that Sakamoto could recognize her.

After all, after so many years, the memory must be blurred. It’s just a classmate in high school. If it wasn’t for Sakamoto, she might not be able to recognize her. Moreover, she was not conspicuous in the class at all in high school, let alone, she is now A lot has changed since high school.

Asuka Nekozawa pulled her milk-blond curly hair and looked up at Sakamoto.

Sakamoto narrowed his long and narrow eyes slightly, and looked at her seriously, "There are some changes, but it's not so unrecognizable, right?"

Asuka Maozawa was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing, "Sakamoto-san, you are still the same as before, you haven't changed at all."

"In this case, I will not be polite." Asuka Nekozawa put Dazai Osamu's movie ticket on the table, picked up the movie ticket that Sakamoto handed to him, "Thank you so much, to be honest, I really didn't like it just now I know what to do, if I can't exchange this movie ticket, it will probably be very troublesome..."

Being narrow-minded Dazai will definitely be unlucky for a long time.

"Sakamoto-san really helped me a lot." Nekozawa Asuka said to Sakamoto seriously, "Sakamoto-san has helped me a lot since a long time ago." When Sakamoto left in a hurry, he was in high school. The secret love that the times came to an abrupt end, and the gratitude that I didn't have time to say.

Thinking about it now, I still regret it.

Of course, the girl's thoughts faded with time, and she couldn't find it for a long time, but the gratitude she didn't have time to say at the beginning was lingering in her mind. It would be great if she could thank him properly at that time, she often thought so.

What she regrets the most is not the fruitless secret love, it is better to say that she never thought about being with Sakamoto at all, but in that lonely time, she purely worshiped and envied him who seemed to be omnipotent. To say it is like, it is better to say it is the interweaving of admiration and longing.

After Sakamoto left, what she regretted the most was that she didn't thank him properly.

"It was the same in the past, it is the same now, all the time, thank you very much." This belated thank you finally uttered.

Sakamoto also hooked the corner of his mouth slightly.

"It's almost time, I'll go in first." He raised his hand and looked at the watch on his wrist.Nodding to Asuka Maozawa.

Asuka Maoze nodded slightly and bowed in return.

Looking at the back of Sakamoto who turned around, Asuka Mozawa found that she no longer felt the sadness of watching him leave in high school. The incomparably peaceful and comfortable mood lingered in her heart, and she just felt very relaxed.Just like the regret at the beginning, now it has finally come to a perfect end, and the obsession in high school has finally disappeared.

She watched Sakamoto walk into the screening room before turning her face away. Osamu Dazai had walked behind her at some point. His steps were lighter than a cat's. He was obviously a big man with a height of more than 1.8 meters. But no sound came out.

"That's—" Dazai Osamu looked at the direction Maozawa Asuka was staring at, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "It's really better to see once than to hear a hundred things."

His tone was very light, close to a sigh, and dissipated gently in the air, "It really looks like the type you would like Xiaoxiang..."

"Don't talk nonsense, what type do you like!" Asuka Mozawa stood on tiptoe, and slapped Osamu Dazai on the head with the movie ticket in his hand, "I only have Senior Nanami in my heart!"

"I didn't say that you like him, I just said that he is the type you like. This old classmate of yours is obviously the same type as your senior, right? Serious, reliable, taciturn and gentle? Am I right? ?”

Osamu Dazai turned his head away from Asuka Mosawa's knock on his hand, his iris-colored pupils drooped, and his long eyelashes cast shadows on his cheeks, "But, I'm curious..."

"You like mature and reliable people, is it because of the influence of this old classmate? If it weren't for his influence, then you and your seniors probably wouldn't be together, so you don't have to deny that he is you The type you like, right?"

Osamu Dazai stared at the movie ticket in his hand, and said in a nonchalant voice, "A character you like, just the right timing, an accidental event, that's what the so-called relationship is all about."

"Look, you and Mr. Sakamoto are like this. If you didn't pave the way for his feelings, the type you like, Xiaoxiang, would not be what you are now. The so-called liking is the choice made by the accumulated events. , without him, would you still be with your Qihai senior?"

"People's hearts are complicated, but it's not something that can't be guessed." He summed it up simply.

As Osamu Dazai said, he took the movie ticket from Asuka Nekosawa's hand, passed over Asuka Nekosawa's head, and waved to Kusuo Saiki, who was standing far away and watching.

Saiki Kusuo was expressionless. To be honest, at this moment, he didn't really want to go to these two people.

"...You may be right." Asuka Maozawa handed the ticket in his hand to the ticket inspector, and put the torn half of the ticket into his bag. "The so-called love is really based on timing and coincidence."

"Oh? I thought you would refute me, Xiaoxiang?"

Osamu Dazai's eyes were bent, and his smile was as soft as a peach blossom.

"But it is not easy to meet someone who suits your personality at the right time and many coincidences."

The movie was about to start, and the auditorium was already dark. Asuka Nekozawa scanned around, saw Sakamoto and Junpei, and began to find his place, "I don't know how many people will never meet such a person in their lifetime. Besides , as long as you meet someone you really like, the type you like doesn’t matter.”

"What I like is Senior Qihai. No matter what kind of person I meet or the type I like, it doesn't make much sense to me now." She checked the numbers on the ticket and finally found her seat, laughing Looking back at Osamu Dazai,

"Because it is absolutely impossible for me to like someone else now!"

"... You should save this to your seniors."

"I can't say such words." Mao ZeAsuka was startled, and quickly shook his head, "It's so embarrassing."

Then why did it come so naturally to him? !

Osamu Dazai, who was attacked by Asuka Nekozawa's unconscious show of affection, became as dumb as Kusuo Saiki.

Asuka Mozawa sat between Dazai Osamu and Saiki Kusuo, and turned to look at Dazai Osamu. "Also, Shuji, the human heart is something that cannot be deduced according to common sense."

"Oh?" Dazai Osamu's voice was very soft.

"If the human heart is something that can be calculated at all." Asuka Mozawa held his chin, "Then Xiuzhi and I—"

She blinked slightly, but didn't finish, because the movie started to show.

Asuka Maozawa knew that Osamu Dazai must have understood.

If it is really possible to be completely rational, then why does Osamu Dazai, who doesn't want to be taken away by others even if it is friendship, want to help her with a plan and serve as a love strategist?Obviously, he only needs to think, control the overall situation, and leave no trace of what he did is so simple.

Osamu Dazai lowered his eyes, gently stroking the bandage on the back of his hand, yes, if he wanted to do it, in the end, Asuka Maozawa would never notice anything strange...

Saiki Kusuo, who was sitting next to Asuka Nekosawa, glanced at Osamu Dazai.

but he……

Dazai sighed softly in his heart.
