Machete Style Anime

"Huh? I'll love you forever?"

Haven't you heard the saying, "A man's mouth is a liar's mouth"?

"The Kasugano family is an upper-class family, after all. How could their heir possibly fall for a girl from an ordinary, unremarkable family? Have you been watching too many Korean dramas?"

……

"I only married you because you have no background and can't stop me from going out and having fun after marriage."

"Now, I'm tired of you. I'm going to the ward office tomorrow to get a divorce."

................................................................................................................................................................................................................ ………………

Kato Megumi is unwilling to recall what happened afterward.

Because each recollection made her feel increasingly guilty and distressed.

Kasugano Mirai has never let her down, but what has she done?

If Eriri hadn't struggled with the decision to tell her the truth after much deliberation, she might never have known what her lover had done for her behind her back until her death.

Out of self-blame and guilt, in this life she persuaded her parents to move to the vicinity of the Kasugano family home, meeting him more than ten years earlier and becoming his childhood sweetheart.

Fortunately, the Kasugano family did not live in luxury apartments to highlight their status like other members of high society, but instead lived in a detached house like most Japanese people.

Otherwise, even if her parents were willing to indulge their immature little daughter, they would be powerless to help her.

……

……

……

As the recollection ended, Kato Megumi tilted her head slightly.

On one hand, she didn't want her friend to see her expression at that moment, and on the other hand, she didn't want the tears welling up in her eyes to fall.

"Hui, should we call and inform Xiaoqiong?"

The sound that rang in her ears caught the girl's attention.

Kato Megumi casually wiped her eyes and said nonchalantly, "Alright, let Sora prepare in advance."

However, after answering the question, she waited for a long time but did not hear her friend's reply.

Looking down, she saw her friend staring at her with a surprised expression.

"Did Hui wipe away tears just now?"

"Oh, I just got pollen in my eyes."

"Don't forget, besides the cherry blossoms that can be seen everywhere along the roads in Japan in April, there is also the headache of hay fever."

"I see."

Eriri nodded, then said shyly, "I thought Megumi was sad for me."

Kato Megumi: "..."

"I'll only feel sorry for you if he doesn't die, okay?!"

Of course, Kato Megumi could never say such a thing.

Firstly, it's due to my personality, and secondly, it's because I respect the deceased.

Regardless of Aki Tomoya's true nature, now that he is dead, all past events have faded away, and it is truly impolite to gossip about him behind his back.

Not wanting to continue the topic, Kato Megumi subtly changed the subject: "If we're going to visit Kosuke... let's go to the convenience store and buy some of her favorite snacks and drinks."

The suggestion was reasonable, so Eriri didn't suspect anything and was easily distracted.

"makes sense."

"I remember Xiaoqiong likes to drink barley tea, and snacks... What does Xiaoqiong like to eat again?"

Kato Megumi said calmly, "Pocky."

Pocky chocolate bars are a national snack in Japan.

With its endless limited-edition items, delicious and unique flavors, novel and interesting packaging, and various ways to enjoy it, almost no one, young or old, can resist this snack.

It was so popular that it even spawned a special holiday – Pocky Day.

Pocky Day, also known as Pocky Festival, is a unique festival in Japan, celebrated annually on November 11th.

Yes, that's right, it's Singles' Day in China.

Upon hearing Kato Megumi's answer, Eriri nodded her head and then smiled at her friend.

"Is it true that we're childhood sweethearts?"

"It seems that Megumi knows all about Sora and Kasugano's preferences."

Kato Megumi smiled noncommittally at her friend's words and said nothing.

Before transferring schools, Kasugano Mirai was in the same class as Eriri. However, due to various reasons, even with Kato Megumi and Kasugano Sora acting as intermediaries, their relationship was not particularly close.

As for how things will develop in the future, who knows?

PS1: As regular readers know, the author usually updates only once a month after signing a contract to stockpile chapters; regular updates resume the following month.

This time, with the feline-themed book review post, many authors of other new books chose to delete and repost their work. However, I haven't changed my plans and will continue to update normally next month.

However, plans can't keep up with changes. Yesterday I received a notification that the review process has changed to manual review.

Those who went through the manual review process last year should know that authors sometimes update at 6 or 7 AM, but you might not see it until 11 or 12 PM.

而且，作者发章节顺序15/16/17/18，但审核通过顺序可能就是18/15/17/16

If you find it uncomfortable to read, the author will also have a meltdown.

Therefore, without deleting and republishing the book, the author has no choice but to continue updating only next month to avoid being targeted by the censors. We hope for your understanding.

PS2: Don't worry, the book definitely won't be cut! Nobody has more integrity than the author!

Chapter Sixteen: Blurred Images

Both Kato Megumi and Eriri are action-oriented; once they decide to go to the convenience store to buy snacks, their direction immediately changes.

It was half an hour later when the two left the convenience store and got back on track.

After buying the gift, Eriri looked at her friend and asked, "Megumi, do you know how Sora is doing lately?"

Kato Megumi remained silent, and just when Eriri thought her friend wouldn't answer the question, she spoke up.

"Eri probably noticed that Sora has been sullen ever since the winter break ended."

"After Jun recovered from his injury and transferred schools, his situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and he seemed to be developing towards autism and becoming a shut-in."

"Overall, the situation is not optimistic."

After hearing her friend's answer, Eriri sighed, "Sigh~"

"I still can't understand how Xiaoqiong could push her brother down the stairs, given her feelings for him?"

"Could it be possessed by an evil spirit?"

This answer almost made Kato Megumi lose her composure, and her eyelids twitched involuntarily.

Having carefully chosen her words, she said calmly, "Leaving aside whether evil spirits actually exist in the real world, even if they do, do you think that the purpose of such an unreasonable and infamous creature possessing a young girl is simply to push her down the stairs?"

"Hey, that's true!"

Eriri smiled shyly.

What does Hui think?

Judging from the girl's expression at this moment, the impact of Aki Tomoya's death on her has almost completely disappeared.

Kato Megumi nodded secretly, but said outwardly, "I guess Xiaoqiong is not feeling well and is hallucinating."

“Under normal circumstances, she would never do such a thing.”

As a reborn individual, Kato Eri understands Kasugano Sora's feelings for Kasugano Mirai better than the current Eriri does.

It's no exaggeration to say that if she hadn't appeared out of nowhere, the Kasugano siblings might have stayed together for the rest of their lives.

Yes, a lifetime in every sense of the word.

In this situation, how could she bear to hurt him?

Compared to Eriri's claim of being possessed by an evil spirit, the explanation that she accidentally pushed her brother down the stairs due to physical discomfort, mental confusion, and hallucinations is more plausible.

After all, this is a society that values ​​science, not science or theology.

Although, to be honest, rebirth is already quite unscientific.

Kasuganoya.

"Anna, is Xiao Qiong still not better today?"

Seeing his wife come down the stairs, Kasugano Ikefumi quickly went to greet her.

Anna Kasugano shook her head: "It's the same as always."

Unlike the typically fierce and tough women of the Russian nation, Anna's personality leans more towards that of an Eastern woman.

After getting married, she gladly followed Japanese custom and adopted the surname Kasugano.

Upon hearing his wife's answer, the latter's expression immediately fell, and he slumped helplessly onto the sofa.

Seeing her husband's pained and conflicted expression, Anna Kasugano thought for a long time before cautiously suggesting, "How about we tell Sora about our future plans?"

"In that case, she will definitely get better."

Kasugano Mirai sighed, "To be honest, I had considered this suggestion before."

"The reason for choosing to give up is because of the child's personality."

Recalling her eldest son's behavior of not fitting in with his peers since childhood, Anna Kasugano immediately understood.

"Indeed, I didn't think it through."

“That child has always been very opinionated. If we tell Xiao Qiong about his whereabouts without informing him, no one can guarantee what will happen next.”
