Why does the Ruined King still fall in love?

"Hey, Hikigu-kun, for someone like me... can I really date someone, fall in love, and get married?"

I turned back slowly, looked at her back, hesitated for a while, and when I was about to say something, I swallowed it back when I was about to say it, opened my mouth, repeated several times but couldn't Say anything.

—Because I don’t know.So I dare not answer, or even after answering according to my own thinking, I am worried that this answer is just out of expectation, will it be accepted?Will it become a reality?Because there are many uncertain factors, I have become afraid to speak out easily.

But when I saw her profile through the dim light, a hidden wound somewhere suddenly ached.

Staring at the night quietly, but still longing for light in his eyes... huh?

Involuntarily took a deep breath.

"Well, is that a matter of course?"

"There is absolutely no need for consolation, there is no one else here."

"...It's not a consolation, I just think...if you can't do that, then I'm completely hopeless? Although this It’s a bit self-defeating, but I am determined to rely on my own ability to get a soft meal in the future.”

After listening to me, Yang Nai turned his head slightly, glanced at me from the corner of his eye, and then faced me again with a gentle smile

"Oh, are you still thinking about such unambitious things at this time?"

"Hmph...I'm not boasting, but there are only a handful of guys in Japan who can realize this kind of ideal."

"I don't think that's a place to be complacent. But..."

Yang Nai deliberately stopped in the middle of speaking, took two steps forward and pulled the distance between us again, lowered his head slightly and looked at me

"I like your place too."

"Um... well, no. I'm just telling the truth."

I cleared my throat on purpose and looked away from her.

Then, she smiled, like a girl in joy, about to welcome something wonderful.

"Then, if I say - I can realize your ideal, can you think about it? The relationship."

"So, these are two different things, right?! Ha..."

I couldn't help but sighed while holding my forehead

"It's just that I like the appearance... This kind of thing is just on the surface, don't you also..."

"That's right, I want to too."

Before I finished speaking, Yang Nai gave her answer first, and then quickly walked to my side and sat down, just sticking to my side as before, even...even with her hands Before I knew it, I took my arm and looked up at the sky again

"As long as you really like my appearance - that's what I think. Before making today's decision, I thought about it carefully by myself in a corner. In the final analysis, liking is liking, As for what you like, it doesn't matter at all, right?"

"...If you just rely on this fragile thing to establish a false connection, it may break at any time...This kind of thing cannot be called a real thing."

"Ah, it really sounds like something you would say."

Yang Nai turned around and looked at me with a smile

"However... I think so-it doesn't matter whether you really like the appearance or the inside, as long as you really like it, it doesn't make any difference. It's like a movie, some people like it Some people like the emotional part, some people like special effects, some people like fighting, and some people just like a certain actor in the movie-in general, everyone has different opinions on the same things , the liking part is also different. But, as long as they "really like". So, there is nothing wrong with genuinely liking my appearance...not as fragile as you say .The only question is - do you take this... as a real liking?"

"..."

I am speechless.

Before, I didn't think about such a question at all-what is liking?It would be a lie to say that liking someone means liking everything about her (him).Even the most loving couples have their ups and downs.Therefore, complete liking is impossible, so can it be said that "as long as you like most of it" can be defined as liking?Of course, if a thing can be divided into several parts, then the number of likes can also be defined in this way.But this is also unrealistic... After all, if the object is replaced by a person, it cannot be separated... It will always be just a whole, whether you like it or not, it is all All are contained in it, cannot be chosen, and cannot be changed without authorization

——At this time, my answer——

"Ah... the appearance... it's just the appearance, but I really like it."

As she said, likes come in many forms, and so do people.There are parts I like and parts I hate, but in general, they are all together, but they can also be treated separately.

"And now... what's your answer?"

"......are you serious?"

"Of course, I've said it before—I like the part about you."

That's the only thing I can't accept.It seems to be a frivolous statement, but it is impossible to distinguish the truth from the false... It is clear that all this can be ended by making the most direct choice, but because those words before have turned into a shackle that binds me. I can't do it A real escape.

"...if we date... what will happen afterward?"

I looked at her uncertainly, longing for a definite answer.But the truth is seeing her shaking her head

"Well, actually I can't tell. But I can tell you a secret."

As she spoke, she moved her head closer——

Originally, I thought I was going to tell me in a whisper, but when I watched her with such a mood, I was frozen in place by the sudden change.

Warm, soft, like being in an illusion but so real, the feeling of electric shock spreads all over the body.

After we parted, she put her mouth close to my ear, and said softly with the looming heat

"That just now...was my first kiss, Hikigu-kun."

...No, this is my first kiss too...

-------------------------------------

After a few days, it seemed to be back to normal life, nothing changed, normal school, ministry activities, and home.

That's about it, on the surface.

However, when I was in it, I could clearly feel the changes after that, it was obvious, and I could feel many things that were completely different from before without looking carefully.

Of course, I also thought about continuing to pretend to be confused, playing sloppy and passing this period of time. As long as nothing came out, there was no need to say anything. I even thought it would be easier this way.No need to think, no special preparation, just spend every day as usual.

But—as I recall, it was the second week after that, on a Thursday morning.

With the ringing of the lunch break bell, there was a noisy atmosphere in the classroom, and I usually choose to go to the canteen to buy bread and drinks at this time.Because since I went to middle school, I have never had the habit of bringing bento to school. Most of them are settled with bread, and I stay alone where no one can find...the place that only belongs to me.So, this time too.

When I packed up the desk and was about to leave, someone called my name from behind, no, to be precise. It should be the abbreviation

"Small business."

Yubihama, I watched her walking towards me in surprise, and behind her, near the window, were Miura Hayama and others, who had already assembled the table, opened the topic, and opened the bento while talking and laughing.Generally speaking, there should be a place for Yuigahama there now.

"Oh."

Maybe there is something wrong, thinking this way, I stood up.

She also poked her head slightly and looked at my desk

"Now... are you going to the commissary?"

"Ah... If you go late, the hot dog buns will be snatched up."

"That's right, I'm going too."

"Huh? Why... today..."

"I got up a little late this morning and didn't have time to make a bento... Although Yumiko and the others want me to share a portion. But..."

Speaking of this, Yuigahama touched his dumpling head with his hand a little ashamedly, showing a little embarrassed smile

"I always feel that this is a bit unacceptable..."

Well...it's not easy to accept which aspect it refers to...I can't get an exact answer from this sentence, and I don't dare to speculate. After all, this kind of thing is nothing. There is something unacceptable.

So, I just replied lightly

"Oh. Let's take it together."

"Ah."

Yubihama responded with a revived voice, seeming to be happy.

"Then..."

His eyes drifted towards the door, and when he was about to go out, the voice stopped abruptly. At the same time, he also stopped the steps he was about to take, and stood there sluggishly.

Sensing my change, Yuigahama also looked in the direction of my line of sight with a strange expression on her face.

—— Yukinoshita was standing at the door of the class, looking around.

"Xiao, Xiaoxue?"

"Huh? Ah, good morning, Yuigahama."

Although it's already noon now... No, you can ignore these things. By the way, why is Yukinoshita here... Speaking of one of the places that have become strange recently, it's probably the same Forget it.I always feel that Yukinoshita has been a little restless lately... It's the same in the activity room, of course, it's the same now.

The slightly clenched left hand rested gently on his chest, and after taking a deep breath, he slowly opened his eyes again.He looked at me hesitantly, and said intermittently in a voice that matched it

"Bi, Bi Qigu-kun... a little... something."

"......what?"

I frowned, feeling strange.

"Hmm... Hiratsuka-sensei seems to... have something to ask us..."

Saying so, Yukinoshita's gaze gradually lowered, and her voice became smaller and smaller.

"Is it...then..."

I looked at Yuigahama standing beside me, this guy shook his head quickly

"No, it's okay. I can go alone. Since the teacher has something to do with you, go quickly."

"Sorry, Yuigahama."

This apology was said by Yukinoshita to Yuigahama, as if she really felt sorry for it, even the smile became so reluctant, and it was a bit hard to look directly at.

After nodding to Yuigahama, I followed Yukinoshita out of the classroom.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

However, the route Yukinoshita took did not lead to the teacher's office, but went directly to the special teaching building - to be precise, it should be the activity room belonging to the service department of the three of us.

I wasn't surprised by this, and I didn't ask any questions along the way, because I knew from the beginning that Yukinoshita lied. After all, let a person who never tells a lie tell an obvious Lies are not an easy thing to do.

This time, she did just that.

When I walked into the classroom, I closed the door and leaned against the door. Yukinoshita didn't go to the desk and sat in the seat that always belonged to her. A few steps directly in front of me, she stood with her back facing me. land.

Silence fell, and she and I stood without saying a word.

After about tens of seconds, I heard the voice from the front.

"—Is there nothing...you want to ask?"

"Well... because I knew it was a lie from the beginning, so there is no need to seek any explanation."

"Is it......"

He replied lightly, and finally turned around slowly, meeting my gaze in mid-air, with a bland cheek without any expression and an unwavering gaze

"Why... would you agree to date your sister?"

"Uh, aha?!"

Hearing this sudden questioning, I jumped up from the door and looked at Yukinoshita in disbelief.wrong!Where did she know... No!No, what should be asked first is why she would ask this question! Although it is not a formal relationship, it is still...

"Why... would you agree to date your sister?"

Ask again with the same tone and the same sentence.

But... I can't answer this question.Because it became like that before I knew it... I was ordered to "be absolutely confidential" before I even realized it, but... The explanation is unclear, and I don’t even have any obligation to explain. But...why do I feel a strong sense of discord slowly expanding between me and her, oppressing that there is still peace between us? atmosphere of.

"......How did you know?"

"In my sister's mobile phone, there is a phone number."

"that is it?"

Yukinoshita shook his head naturally

"Besides you, of course there are other men... Dad, Hayama-san, college classmates... But, you are the only one with the classification of lovers marked on your name, Hikigu-kun .”

"...maybe it's a prank or..."

"Besides, you keep in constant contact with each other, don't you?"

After finishing speaking involuntarily, Yukinoshita showed a faint smile on his face, his eyes were as quiet as stagnant water, and his tone was plain, he asked the question just now again

"So, can you tell me...why did you agree to date a sister? Hikigu...kun?"
