The World God Only Knows GS

(as friends...)

Hearing Teak's words, Huoyuan subconsciously took half a step back.

(Yes, teak and I are friends.)

"But it's also because you are friends that you discovered "that matter", right? 』

(…Yes. Yes. I found out about "the thing", I found out, I—)

Lowering his head with a weeping expression, Hirohara couldn't look at his friend's face.

"...Sorry, Yuki. I'm leaving first. Fuyutsuki is still waiting for me."

"Wait a minute...! Huoyuan?!"

Huo Yuan, who was stunned in front of him, suddenly turned around and ran away. Teak, who had no time to stop Huo Yuan, could only stare blankly at Huo Yuan's back as he went away.And his hand that was trying to hold Huo Yuan's shoulder was still in the air.

"..."

Looking at Huoyuan who didn't turn his head back, Yuki frowned slightly.

"...Am I talking too much?"

It is precisely because I made an appointment with my family to treat music as my main business until high school, and I will soon go abroad to obtain an MBA qualification, so Yuki hopes that before he leaves, he can see friends who can freely choose his future and find friends who want to move forward direction.It is precisely because I don’t want to regard high school, the days spent in Star Academy, and the friendship with Huohara as just a stage of life experience, so Yuki stubbornly wants to watch Huohara realize what he can’t achieve for himself. dream.

"I'm too selfish..."

A slight sigh floated in the air.Teak turned and walked away.

(Really? That's right.)

Dongyue, who had heard all the conversation between Teak and Huoyuan, felt that the jigsaw puzzle in her mind had finally found a few important pieces.Putting those important pieces together in their original positions, the truth hidden in the puzzle is ready to come out.

(unrealized unrequited love, bleak future, unrealized dreams, parting with friends, the end of high school career...)

He snapped his fingers silently again.Dongyue, who asked Qiqi to remove the wiretapping equipment, looked at Huoyuan running towards her, already thinking about it.

(...It's no wonder that there is a gap in the soul.)

It is because he always treats things so gently, because he always accepts everything too gently, and because he always warms the people around him——

"Yes, I'm sorry... Fuyutsuki-chan, have you been waiting for a long time?"

Looking at Huoyuan, who pressed his knees and bowed to squeeze a smile at her, Dongyue's heart tightened slowly, and a feeling of heartache quickly spread in Dongyue's heart.

(Silly old man.)

Who would notice that such a stupid and nice person will also be hurt, suffer, lose hope and determination, and want to cry to escape all unsatisfactory things?

"...I didn't wait long, Mr. Heshu."

Reaching out to Huoyuan, Dongyue saw Huoyuan showing an expression almost like a drowning person finally grabbing a straw.

"Then, we..."

He held Dongyue's hand carefully and gently to the extreme.With a smile that looked like he would cry in a second, Huoyuan smiled at Dongyue: "Let's go to the practice room..."

Together with Huo Yuan, they walked to the practice room of the music department that Huo Yuan had reserved in advance. Before Huo Yuan could close the door of the practice room with her hands, Dongyue opened her lips slightly: "Teacher He Shu."

"Um……?"

"If Mr. Heshu doesn't have time to be Dongyue's teacher...you don't have to force it."

The hand of Huoyuan holding Dongyue trembled violently.

"Dongyue, sauce..."

"Dad said before that Mr. Heshu is very busy, and told Dongyue not to cause trouble for Mr. Heshu." Looking at her toes seriously, Dongyue beside Huoyuan looked sad: "Dongyue... likes to be with Mr. Teacher Shu. Therefore, Dongyue doesn't want to cause trouble for Teacher Heshu... Dongyue, I don't want to embarrass Teacher Heshu..."

"Because you are an important student. 』

"Because you are a busy senpai. 』

(No... I, no, no, I don't-)

"Because I regard you as a friend. 』

"because I like you. 』

(I never wished for that...!!!)

Because he is a student that Mr. Kanazawa valued, Mr. Kanazawa shouldered the pressure that should have been borne by himself.

Because he is a third-year student with heavy schoolwork, the juniors will not "add burden" to themselves when they encounter something.

Because he regards himself as a friend, teak cares more about his own affairs than his own, and hopes that what he cares about is his own affairs.

Because she likes herself, Dongyue doesn't want to "trouble" herself.

(Already, already——)

The scalding liquid gushed out of Huo Yuan's eyes in a daze.

(Unbearable--)

Letting go of Fuyutsuki's hand, Hihara bent his body as if he had been punched in the stomach.

"why……"

Trembling all over his body, Huoyuan screamed: "Why do you help me?! Why do you think about me?! Since you want to help me and think about me, why can't you rely on me?! Why can't you give me 'Increasing the burden', 'increasing trouble' for me?! Why do you like me, treat me as a friend, value me and treat me well?!"

(...As expected.)

No need for anyone to remind, Dongyue also knows that the exorcism in the crack of Huoyuan's mind is about to move.

"I'm clearly not someone who deserves to be valued or helped...!"

Always smiling cheerfully, the person like the sun is shouting depressed and depressed at this time.His painful sobs could not penetrate the well-insulated practice room, so only Fuyutsuki heard the soul-stirring wail.

"Xiangsu likes Tsukimori... But because I like Xiangho, I can't bless the two people who are a good match... I can't express my heart to Xiangshao as frankly as Kadi..."

Tears rolled down the bridge of Huo Yuan's nose and fell on the floor of the practice room.

"I envy and envy Tsukimori who is liked by Koho-chan and Kadi who dares to express himself, and I also envy and envy Tsuchiura who can be beside Koho-chan...but...! But...! This is me...that is With me like this, Koho-chan still treats me as a senior she can rely on...for my sake, and doesn't want to burden me...! Obviously, Koho-chan herself is also troubled by the concert—”

His hands were trembling uncontrollably, and Huo Yuan fell to his knees and knelt on the ground in desperation.

"The same goes for Teak... Teak is obviously more talented than me and loves music so much...! But he can't go on the road of music according to his own wishes...!"

More tears welled up from Huoyuan's wide-open eyes.Being exorcised, the gap in his heart was further expanded, and he no longer knew who he was talking to.He was just confessing, confessing to a god who probably didn't exist.

"Why can I choose my favorite path without much musical talent, but Yuki can't?! Why can't I do anything for Yuki when I know this?! I don't even have the courage to go to Yuki's house to persuade Yuki's family No...!! What qualifications do I have to think about my own path, my future, my life?!"

A series of "why" came out of Huo Yuan's mouth, Huo Yuan looked at his trembling hands, in his blurred vision, he could see his tears falling on his hands.

"Why is it that Yuki still treats people like me as friends...!! Think about people like me?! Why can I still be so selfish for Xiang Sui-chan even though I already understand how painful Yuki is? I feel sad that the person I like is not my business?! Why?! Why?!"

(...Really, how far do you have to be an idiot and a nice guy?)

Listening to Huoyuan's series of questions, Dongyue's eyes were red.

(Obviously I have done nothing wrong.)

But because I can't repay the care, trust and love that others give me, I feel self-loathing, and self-loathing has reached such a painful level.

"Why can't I keep doing what I like forever?! Why can't the time with everyone go on forever?! Why must our group of people be torn apart?!"

"Because,"

Dongyue held Huo Yuan's hands.

"It's not really over."

Looking at Huoyuan's eyes that had lost focus, Dongyue grinned: "Even if something you really like cannot become the purpose of your life, it will not disappear from the life of the person who really likes it. The thing you really like People who work... always think of ways to do what they really like."

"We have to separate from each other to give each other a surprise encounter in the future. It is because the best times will end and the happiest things will disappear. That's why those good times and happy things will shine like miracles in the memory among."

Holding Huoyuan's tear-stained hands tightly, the smiling Dongyue shed tears—she didn't know why she wanted to cry so much.

"Senior Huoyuan has never been a selfish person who only thinks about his own affairs and enjoys the kindness of others. I promise."

Forgetting that she is still "Teacher Kazuki's disciple", Fuyutsuki, ignoring any background settings, put her forehead on Huoyuan's.

"Senior Huoyuan is so troubled, so painful, and wishing so much that he can do something for important people is the best proof. But ah, Senior Huoyuan...you got one thing wrong."

"..."

A trace of expression slowly emerged in the light brown eyes with tears, and Huoyuan's shoulder moved slightly.
