The favorability system is broken, I decided to put on a vest

The second night ended in such moonlight and sea breeze.

Then came the third day as scheduled.

This day was the last day before the start of the summer festival, and it was also the busiest day for Mori Miyuki.

She needs to get up early, check the venue, check the equipment, check the event process, and give the details to all the staff who are holding this large-scale festival for the first time, and deal with some messy and unexpected emergencies.

Fortunately, in the past few years, Mori Miyuki has drawn up a group of middle-level teams.Although these people are also new to this kind of large-scale event, they are very good at handling emergencies, saving Mori Miyuki a lot of time and effort, otherwise Mori Miyuki would have wondered if he had split himself in two Half is not enough.

Finally, finally, the busy day is over.

Mori Miyuki stood in front of the people in charge, large and small, and after encouraging them with a voice full of affirmation, he sent this group of people home to recharge their batteries and prepare for the three-day summer festival starting tomorrow.

As for Mori Miyuki herself, after returning to the office, she collapsed in her seat, exhausted physically and mentally, and never wanted to move again.

She rested her face on one hand, closed her eyes and fell asleep, her thoughts seemed to be floating in a cloud full of rain, and the moist moisture was sticking to her exposed skin layer by layer along with the sea breeze .

—perhaps it was time for her to close the window.

In a daze, Mori Miyuki thought this way.

But for some reason, she didn't get up for a long time.

Afterwards, maybe after a short while, or maybe after a long time, Mori Miyuki heard a familiar sound of hurried footsteps approaching.

The footsteps were heavy, slow, and hasty, with a sense of unsteady center of gravity, so Mori Miyuki knew with just one ear that this guy must be Yasushi Asano, one of the event consultants she invited from the Land of Fire.

This consultant Asano, I don't know if it's because he's just an ordinary person or because he's from the Fire Nation, but his actions are actually too cautious.

For every instruction given by Mori Shenyuki, ordinary subordinates try their best to understand and fulfill it, but he has to confirm word by word with her every time before he is willing to act, and never exerts the slightest personal subjectivity during the whole activity The initiative made Mori Miyuki doubt whether he had invited an activity consultant or a robot consultant.

If it wasn't for Mori Miyuki's unfamiliarity with the event process, she would have wanted to kick this guy and do it herself - but even so, Mori Miyuki had already decided that once this year's festival was over, he would be fired immediately.

But this time, when Mori Shenxue heard the familiar footsteps again, she knew without thinking that this person must have come to confirm the process with her again, and every time the confirmation process took two or three hours, I am afraid It couldn't be done, so Mori Miyuki struggled in pain, trying to wake herself up.

But before she woke up, someone stopped him.

It's Senior Secretary, Yuuki Nara.

"Consultant Asano, why is it you again?" Nara Yuuki was very surprised, "Today's work is over, why are you..."

"It's Yuuki-senpai... sorry to bother you, there are some problems with this event that I can't understand, I want to confirm with Mito-sama..."

"Really? Let me take a look... um? The plan this time is very clear, isn't there anything else that you 'didn't understand'?"

"Oh! That's it. First of all, it's about food. According to the plan letter sent to us by Mito-sama, the food this time should not only take into account the different tastes of guests from different countries, but also present the special food of Uzumaki... …What does it mean?"

"..." Nara Yuuki seemed to be speechless by this question, "Is the meaning not clear enough? Consultant Asano, you should be responsible for dealing with this kind of problem, right? Mito-sama, what is your use as an advisor?"

"Senior Yuuki, you can't say that. This is the first festival in Uzumaki Country. What's wrong with me wanting to be perfect?"

"Perfection is not like this! Mito-sama already has a lot of things to deal with, so don't bother her with such trivial things!"

"How can this be a trivial matter!"

"..."

Just like that, the two started arguing quietly downstairs.

Mori Shenxue sighed heavily in her heart, moved her fingers with difficulty, trying to wake up her sleeping body little by little.

But at this moment, the voice of a third person sounded.

Unexpectedly, it was the voice of Hashirama.

"what happened?"

It was like a sudden gust of wind blowing through the forest covered with thick fog.For Mori Miyuki, Hashirama's voice was very recognizable.

He smiled, with his usual smoothing tone: "Everyone has something to talk about, why are you arguing?"

Nara Yuuki sighed, and before he could speak, Advisor Asano asked Qu Liantiandi to describe the matter.

Hashirama finished listening to the non-nutritive rubbish question in a good-tempered manner, and said in a good-tempered manner: "I see. But Mito should be asleep now, otherwise she would have come down long ago after hearing your dispute...Since She's tired, so let Consultant Asano take care of such trivial matters."

"What, what?! This is not a trivial matter!" Asano was very dissatisfied, "This is an unprecedented festival, a festival for distinguished guests from the five major countries! No matter how cautious this kind of event is, Mr. Hashirama , Your statement like this is really too careless!"

Hashirama smiled and said, "Then maybe I can provide some ideas for Consultant Asano."

"...What idea?"

"'Hold a festival that makes everyone happy', that's the idea." Hashirama said, "Don't think too much, Consultant Asano. Mito's original intention is not to use this summer festival to achieve something, It is not held for those high-ranking 'guests'. She just wants to make everyone happy, and leave a good memory during this time, that's all. So, when you put aside those utilitarian mentality, you may get more inspiration."

"..."

Consultant Asano was stunned, tongue-tied and speechless.

Upstairs, Mori Miyuki, who was still trying to wake herself up, finally breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, and her mood, which seemed to be entangled in damp moisture, gradually dried up, and drowsiness emerged again.

——It seems that Hashirama is more reliable!

Mori Miyuki thought in a daze.

——If he was here, there must be no problem.

She relaxed and let herself fall asleep.

·

I don't know how long I slept, maybe a few minutes, or maybe a few hours.

When Mori Miyuki finally woke up, the sunlight in front of the window had been replaced by moonlight, but the bitter sea breeze did not sneak in from the window to disturb people's dreams, but was blocked by a figure.

"It's been a long time, Mito."

Mori Miyuki raised her eyes and stared blankly at Hashirama's smiling face, and doubts arose in her drowsy head before she felt uncomfortable.

"Hashirama? Have you been sitting there waiting for me?" Mori Shenxue murmured, "Why don't you come in?"

This office belonging to Mori Miyuki is full of secrets.

It was a secret that could not be shown to foreigners, and it was also Mori Miyuki's private land that he was reluctant to let strangers enter.

But when her sanity has not fully recovered and her mind is occupied by emotions and impulses, Mori Miyuki clearly understands that if it is Hashirama, she does not mind his entry.

A look of surprise flashed across Hashirama's face, but he quickly smiled again.

"Probably because I've always wanted to know what it's like to look at the moon from the window on the Mito side."

"Huh?" Mori Shenxue was stunned, then smiled, "That's weird."

"Huh?" This time, it was Hashirama who was stunned.

Sen Shenxue tilted his head to look at him, and said softly, "Hashirama just thought I would reject him, so why don't you just sit there, right?"

Some nervousness finally surfaced on Hashirama's face, his eyes wandered a little, looking left and right, but he didn't dare to look at Mori Miyuki.

Mori Shenxue said: "But if you don't try, how do you know I will refuse?"

This time, Hashirama's eyes finally fell on Mori Miyuki.

Mori Shenxue said: "Do you think I will refuse?"

Hashirama smiled helplessly: "You will."

Mori Shenxue asked back: "Why?"

Hashirama said, "Because Mito invited me this time just to completely reject me, right?"

The truth that was hidden by the two was caught off guard at this moment.

But the ending is not as turbulent and overreacting as Mori Miyuki imagined, nor is it depressed and angry as she imagined, which is unbelievable.

At this moment, Hashirama just used a very calm tone, narrating the originally planned ending of Mori Miyuki.

So Mori Miyuki was speechless instead.

"turn out to be……"

Mori Miyuki opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

"You know..."

In the end, apart from this pale sigh, Mori Shenxue couldn't say anything else.

So, instead, Hashirama, who was rejected, comforted her like a normal person and said, "It's okay, Mito, I've known about this kind of thing for a long time. If you want to be sad, you should have been sad enough after so many years, so you see , I don't care anymore, why should you care?"

Perhaps it was because Zhuma's attitude was too frank, and the complicated and unspeakable emotions in Mori Miyuki's heart gradually calmed down.

She looked at him sideways, a little funny, and a little sighed: "You said you knew it a long time ago? You... When did you know it?"

Hashirama thought for a while: "Probably after I like you, before I realize that I like you... After all, Mito, you have been rejecting me. I can't possibly not know about this kind of thing!"

Mori Miyuki lowered her eyes slightly, and her heart was once again turbulent.

But on the surface, she is still calm: "Since you understand, why do you still like me?"

At this moment, Mori Miyuki felt that such a scene was really too miraculous.Because she never thought that as a self who is full of vigilance against the outside world, refuses to trust others, and even refuses to enter a romantic relationship, one day she can talk about love with others calmly.

——But maybe it’s not just about love.

Hashirama said with a smile: "Probably because I like Mito, not just because I like it, so I can't help but like you!"

"...What?" Mori Shenxue was confused.

Hashirama seemed to think of something, and the smile on his lips widened: "I like you, Mito. This kind of liking is not only because of a man's liking for a woman, but also because of Hashirama's liking for Mito... When you saw that I was Hashirama instead of Senju, I was destined to like you."

"..." Mori Miyuki still didn't understand.

And Hashirama didn't need Mori Miyuki to understand.He continued: "Mito, do you still remember, I once told you about my dream. I said that I hate being a ninja, fighting, killing, and even learning how to kill... In fact, I said that In fact, I told many people, but most of them laughed at my innocence, and Madara, who understands me, also told me that in this age, perhaps it is best to become a stronger person and suppress those who oppose me Method……"

Mori Shenxue whispered: "But it's still not what you want."

Hashirama smiled brilliantly: "That's right, I didn't want this ending, if one day I do this, it's just a way to do it... But you are different, Mito, you did it—you did it Everything I want to do! Mito, you understand me, you agree with me, and you let me see that new world, a world of peace and prosperity! This is something only you can do , Mito!"

At this moment, Mori Miyuki raised his head suddenly, and looked at Zhujian, just like meeting the boy back then.

At that time, the child who would hide in the tree secretly and tell his dreams in a self-defeating tone, now no longer has self-doubt and hesitation, he is strong enough to face everything.

And Mori Miyuki finally understood everything.

"So this is ah……"

She finally understood that Hashirama cared about her not only because of the love between men and women, but also because of an unprecedented sense of identity.

It was because she truly understood him at that moment, agreed with him, and walked the path he wanted to walk in the following years, and opened the era he wanted to witness; so he also truly understood him in turn. I recognized her, recognized her, tried to walk on the same path with her, and wanted to go to the same ending as her.

They are the only two people in this world who fully understand each other's ideas and agree with each other's paths.

So even if she refuses his liking, even if they can't be together in the end, he will still love her, just like the hope and dream in his heart.

He loves her out of emotion, but also out of reason, from the heart, and attributed to ideals.

As a result, Mori Miyuki's heart became more and more shaken, and it was difficult to calm down.

"But what if... I still reject you?" Mori Miyuki asked in a low voice.

Hashirama said with a smile: "Then refuse."

"Will you be sad?"

"of course."

"Then you don't like me anymore?"

"I'll love it."

"Can't you not like it?"

"It seems impossible."

"But... Uncle Fojian will be very angry."

"I can't do anything about this!"

During such a quick question and answer, Mori Miyuki couldn't help but feel sad, as if the person who was rejected at this moment was not Hashirama, but herself.

"Do you like me that much?" Mori Miyuki whispered, "Even if I reject you?"

"Of course." Hashirama said calmly, "It's just my mood to like you. Mito, you don't need to respond. If you reject me, it's because you want to reject me. I will understand you and continue to like you... ...Don't worry, I won't disturb you, Mito, you see I have rarely bothered you these years, right!"

It turned out that he really understood everything about her, including every rejection she had.

Mori Miyuki became more and more speechless.

Hashirama looked at her and said gently: "So Mito, you just need to move forward and do what you like."

Mori Miyuki closed her eyes.

She took a deep breath, opened her eyes, and her trembling eyes drifted from the desk to the window.

"So... no matter what I say... you can accept it, can you understand it?" Mori Miyuki's voice seemed to tremble a little.

Hashirama looked a little gloomy, and looked away for a moment, but soon, he forced himself to turn back, staring at Mori Miyuki's face.

"Yes." Hashirama said almost gently, "No matter what Mito's answer is, I can accept it."

Because he's spent so many years trying to talk himself into it.

Sen Shenxue choked and said, "But you haven't asked me this question yet."

Zhu Jian was stunned for a moment, then he quickly came to his senses and said, "Then can I ask you now?"

"Can……"

Hashirama clenched his fists a little nervously.

He sat on the window sill, his body immersed in the moonlight and sea breeze, and there was a seemingly short and seemingly insurmountable distance between him and Sen Shenxue.

And what he's going to say next is a question he already knows the answer to—

Yes, everything should be like this, but he didn't know why, but he still felt uneasy and looking forward to it.

"Mito...I...like you..."

Every time he said a word, his mood became more nervous, more excited, and more expectant.

"Can you...can you like me?"

It is the mood and expectation floating on the clouds, anxiety and love.Even if they will fall into the dust in the next moment, it doesn't matter, because as long as the mood at this moment exists, everything is enough.

Hashirama thought so.

But Mori Miyuki didn't give him an answer.

"Do you really want to like me?" Mori Miyuki's voice trembled, "Do you really understand what kind of person I am?"

This was an answer Hashirama never expected.

Mori Miyuki said quickly: "I am not as good as you think at all, and I am not even the same as you at all. You actually like this world, but you just hate war, but I actually hate this world, and the reason is just 'Cause I just hate the world; you actually like people, you just hate the strife they bring, but I hate humans because I just hate them! I hate most things in the world, I even hate myself, but It may be that my usual performance gave you the illusion that I am actually a decent guy, but in fact, everything is just an appearance!"

"I am not a good person, let alone a likable guy. I am arrogant and cruel, headstrong, self-willed, and use whatever means to achieve my goals. All the shame and weaknesses of human beings are reflected in me-this is me." Mori Shenyuki The voice became more and more urgent, not like talking, but like scolding, "You like me because you like my appearance, like my approval, and like the same road I walked with you! But don't get me wrong All this, you like me only because you have no choice, if you really know me—”

"——If I really understand you, I also like you, Mito." Hashirama interrupted Mori Miyuki's self-narration, smiled at her gently, and said suddenly, "Mito, if I say, I hate If you become a ninja, you hate fighting, you hate killing, and you hate learning how to kill people, do you think I'm ridiculous?"

Sen Shenxue was stunned.

The world that was distorted during the long confession seems to be reversed and restored at this moment.

The dark night faded away and melted into the sunlight in the forest.

At this moment, Mori Miyuki looked up at Hashirama, just like she stood under the tree looking at Hashirama a few years ago.

"That day, you said that you thought I was cute." Hashirama paused, his face was already red, but he still said with a smile, "So I always wanted to tell you—"

"Mito, you who have always hated this world, but still try your best to love everyone, are really cute!"

Mori Miyuki's expression was blank for a moment.

Suddenly, she turned around abruptly and pointed the back of her head at Hashirama.

Hashirama was stunned: "...Huh?!" He was a little embarrassed, "Did I say something wrong?"

Mori Miyuki's voice was a little muffled with his back to Hashirama: "Wrong! Do you think you know me well?!"

"Ah? Huh?! This... this..."

Mori Miyuki made a dissatisfied voice: "You brazen guy! Tell me what I'm thinking now!"

The column was a little dumbfounded.

He can't read minds either!

With a bitter face, Zhujian asked tentatively, "Are you angry with me?"

"Isn't it natural!"

Column: "..."

"There's more!" Mori Shenxue persisted.

Hashirama raised his hand to beg for mercy: "I'm sorry, Mito, I was wrong, I was really wrong! I shouldn't have said those messy things regardless of the occasion... You know, I always say something inappropriate, so I--"

Sen Shenxue raised her head and quickly wiped her eyes, then turned her head and stared at him: "Aren't you smart just now? Why are you becoming a fool again now?!"

"..." Hashirama stared blankly at Mori Miyuki's face, her heart was beating wildly, "What, what..."

Mori Shenxue said with a straight face: "Come here!"

Hashirama was inexplicably nervous, and began to stutter: "Huh? This, this, no, it's not very good, is it?"

Mori Shenxue sneered: "Coward!"

At this moment, Mori Miyuki had calmed down and made a decision.She raised her chin arrogantly, and said, "Did you lie to me with all the things you just said?!"

"No! Absolutely not!" Hashirama argued nervously.

"Then why don't you dare to come over? Are you afraid that I will trouble you?!"

"..."

Hashirama was tongue-tied and speechless.

But his flushed cheeks and his vacillating gaze clearly told Mori Miyuki that this guy really knows everything.

Mori Shenxue snorted angrily, jumped up against the table, walked in front of Zhujian aggressively, and stared at him intently.

"I've never been one to dictate other people's private lives." Mori Miyuki emphasized the word "others", "You know what I'm talking about?!"

The Adam's apple rolled between the columns, and said in a low voice: "I know."

"So you should have no objection to what I say next!"

Hashirama's wandering eyes finally fell on Mori Miyuki's face.

"No," he said, "I have no objection."

Mori Miyuki raised her eyebrows: "I haven't said that yet!"

"But I already know." Hashirama whispered.

Sen Shenxue snorted and dragged the guy who only dared to squat on her window sill into the room.

Like a bully molesting a good woman, she pressed his chest and pushed him against the wall.

But her expression was very serious, and she said: "Hashirama, I will not marry you, not in this life...but I will not allow you to marry either!"

"it is good."

It was obviously such a domineering and arrogant word, but he got such a cute answer.At this moment, Sen Shenxue felt a little embarrassed, she bit her lip, and muttered: "But you don't have to worry too much, this contract is only known to the two of us, and it will only last until the day you no longer like me. "

"I'll always love you."

Sen Shenxue choked, her face flushed, and she became angry from embarrassment: "You look like you understand everything - are you finally no longer pretending to be stupid?!"

Hashirama smiled dryly, raised his hands in surrender, and remained silent.

Mori Shenxue glared at him: "Since you are so smart, do you know what I want to do now?"

"……I know."

"Hmph! Then you're saying—"

Without giving Mori Miyuki another chance to chatter, Hashirama lowered his head and kissed her on the lips with a smile.

Sealed with a kiss.
