Tokyo Sick Girlfriend

Chapter 67 Proof of the Argument
In early October, just two days after meeting Shiratori Seiya, Hojo Shione drafted a thesis topic.

The content was unrelated to her major, and the name she wrote in her diary was: "[An in-depth study based on the inexplicable breakup and frequent girlfriend changes of the mixed-race bird Kiyoya]".

Hojo Shione knew that to complete a great study, one needed both an attitude of burning one's life out and perseverance, as well as a thorough understanding of the subject matter.

Fortunately, I seem to possess both of these qualities.

Before the breakup, she felt that she could never leave Shiratori Seiya for the rest of her life. Her love for him flowed in her blood. After the breakup, this feeling became even more profound. It seemed that she was no longer satisfied with just being in her blood vessels, skin, and body fluids. It would be more appropriate to say that it had penetrated into her bone marrow.

Secondly, although she didn't understand much about scientific knowledge, she was at least very familiar with Shiratori Seiya, if not completely knowledgeable about him.

Of course, the two aspects mentioned above are only the foundation for completing the research on the topic. To complete the proof, a fairly rigorous logic and arguments are also required.

After repeated research, observation, and reasoning, she compiled the following questions:

[1: Shiratori Seiya always establishes a new relationship within a short period of time after each breakup.]

[2: It seems that every person Shiratori Seiya dates possesses exceptional talent in some area?]

[3: Does Shiratori Seiya always pour all his energy into his relationships to ensure the other person falls in love with him?]

[4: It seems that Shiratori Seiya always has a specific reason for breaking up with someone? (Note: Refer to question 3 to see that he is not ruthless)]

[4.1: Could the breakup be due to the loss of novelty?]

[4.2: Could the breakup be due to an inability to handle the partner's affection?]

【…】

She wrote several pages of questions and logical reasoning, but most of it was still speculation. The truth still requires specific evidence.

Just like now, when Hojo Shione saw Takahashi Mio appear here, she knew that the question mark after her second question could be changed to a period.

Hasegawa Saori has a special talent in kendo, while he himself is skilled in singing. His younger sister is not Seiya's girlfriend, so we will not discuss that for now.

The fact that Mio Takahashi is here suggests that at least Seiya Shiratori believes she is good at acting.

Hojo Shione was equally overjoyed, and her smile grew brighter and brighter.

Like a scientist who has been stuck on a certain stage of argumentation for a long time, and is overwhelmed with excitement when inspiration strikes...

Standing in front of her, Takahashi Mio looked at her, who was about to bend over laughing, and her face immediately darkened, her hands unconsciously clenching.

If my previous level of affection for her had already been reduced to zero, then now it should be negative one hundred.

Who do you think you are? Can't I come here to train? Can't I be an actor?
If it weren't for the fact that she also knew Shiratori Seiya, she would have already started cursing according to her own temper.

She can be gentle, considerate, and understanding in front of Shiratori Seiya, but that doesn't mean she'll be like that with everyone, especially since the other person is her ex-girlfriend who used to disgust her.

Hojo Shione noticed the strange look on the girl's face out of the corner of her eye, quickly waved to her, then straightened up, took a deep breath, and wiped away the tears of laughter from the corner of her eyes, saying:
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not laughing at you, I'm just thinking about some happy things."

"..."

Mio Takahashi remained expressionless, her lips moved as she asked:
"Is there anything else you can do?"

"Eh?"

Hearing her icy tone, Hojo Shione blinked, pondered for a moment, and then said seriously:
“I really didn’t mean to mock you. I just realized some things. The fact that Kiyoya brought you to the actor training means you definitely have a talent for this…”

"Besides, you don't need to be hostile towards me. I've already given up."

Hearing her say that, Takahashi Mio sneered and couldn't help but say:

"Do you think I'm a fool?"

Upon hearing this, Hojo Shione replied earnestly:

"I never lie. I don't know if Shiratori Seiya ever told you that..."

She paused for a moment, then immediately shut her mouth, as if she had almost let something slip.

Mio Takahashi especially dislikes people who stop talking halfway through their sentences.

People like that deserve to go to hell.

She said impatiently:
"If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Is this something I can talk about? It's about Hasegawa Saori. Did Shiratori Seiya tell you about it?"

"Heh, he said he would marry her, that's all?"

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Hojo Shione unconsciously narrowed her eyes and asked:
"You do not care?"

"We'll deal with the future when it comes; I only live in the present."

"Oh, that's an enviable mindset."

Hojo Shione gave a compliment, then thoughtfully studied the girl's expression, unsure whether she truly liked Shiratori Seiya.

Although we still don't know exactly how she started dating Kiyozai, if we refer to topic 3, unless she's a complete slut, there's no reason she wouldn't be tempted...

After thinking for a moment, Hojo Shione continued:
"But I do care. Since he has already decided to marry Hasegawa Saori, there is no need for me to waste any more time on him."

"By the way, didn't he come to train with you? I remember before, whether it was me or Hasegawa, he was always following us around like a shadow."

As she spoke, Hojo Shione tilted her head and glanced into the lounge.

Upon hearing this, Mio Takahashi felt a tightness in her chest, but outwardly maintained a calm expression and said:

"The term 'tagalong' is indeed apt. I also found him a bit annoying, so I told him not to come over. He just needs to be a good driver and pick me up at night."

"Oh, I see..."

Hojo Shione wanted to say something more, but Fukada Touna waved to her from the other end of the corridor and called out:
"Ms. Hojo..."

"I'll be there right away."

Hojo Shione responded, then looked at Takahashi Mio and said:
"If you have time after your training, can we talk again?"

It was clearly a question, but after she finished speaking, she didn't give Takahashi Mio a chance to respond. She gave her a half-smile and turned to leave.

'Da da da. ’

Hearing the crisp sound of high heels clicking on the ground, Mio Takahashi unconsciously clenched her fists.

He exhaled forcefully, barely managing to suppress the jealousy in his heart, and turned back to the lounge.

During the afternoon training session, Mio Takahashi kept thinking about Shione Hojo, and she was completely out of sorts during the training. She was scolded by Coach Araki several times before she could barely muster her energy.

Training finally ended at five o'clock. She sat in the lounge scrolling through her phone, but her mind was not on the short videos at all.

My gaze swept over the time in the upper left corner of my phone again and again, and I subconsciously glanced outside the door, but I still didn't see Shiratori Seiya.

A sense of loss welled up inside me, as if I had been abandoned.

Normally it would be fine, but knowing that Hojo Shione was here today, she especially wanted to prove to him that he treated her no worse than he treated her...

'ding dong'

A notification sounded on my phone, followed by a message from Shiratori Seiya.

Mio Takahashi's eyes lit up, and she quickly tapped the button.

However, the smile on her face froze instantly the next moment.

An indescribable sense of betrayal kept piercing my heart.

Tears welled up in her eyes. She swallowed hard and was about to take a deep breath when she looked up and saw Hojo Shione push open the glass door to the lounge.

A smile appeared between the girl's brows as she said:

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Ms. Takahashi."

As she spoke, she looked around again, puzzled, and asked, "Hasn't Kiyoya come to pick you up yet?"

Mio Takahashi felt another pang of pain in her heart, but forced a smile and explained:
“I found him too annoying, so I didn’t let him come.”

"Oh."

Hojo Shione nodded calmly, but inwardly she sighed at how stubborn this woman was.

No matter how perfectly a person controls their expression, tears that have already welled up cannot be hidden unless they are wiped away.

Hojo Shione's eyes showed sympathy, and she pursed her lips, saying:
"Let me give you a ride; we can chat on the way."
