After my triumphs and defeats, I created multiple aliases across countless worlds.

"Hmph! I should have given up long ago! Who told this guy to be such a womanizer? He was pursuing other girls while pursuing me! What kind of person pursues others like that?!"

Eriri listened to Kato Megumi's explanation and instantly understood what it meant.

However, she felt this was quite normal.

It's all because Bai Ye is so greedy.

If he had focused on pursuing one person, things might not have turned out this way, but he insisted on doing it this way!

"So he gave up, stopped pursuing anyone, and decided to focus on his career!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha shrugged and then repeated what she had said earlier.

After saying that, Kasumigaoka Utaha felt much more relaxed. Although she had been rejected, weren't the others the same as her?

suddenly....

She felt a surge of pleasure again.

Because this blond loser will definitely lose in the end.

She had already missed her only chance in this life. Bai Ye took the initiative to pursue her, but she rejected him. So, if Bai Ye doesn't take the initiative anymore, Eriri's proud and aloof personality makes it absolutely impossible for her to take the initiative again.

Based on this, Eriri should be considered completely out of the running, right?

Now everyone is back on the same starting line.

In the second playthrough, Bai Ye chooses to be single, so she can see what happens next. It's not that friends can't do something unconventional; in fact, it seems to be in her best interest now. It's just a bit of a pity that she didn't cherish the opportunity that was presented to her, and only regretted it after losing it. There is nothing more painful in the world than this.

If God gave her another chance, she would definitely agree.

Unfortunately, there was no chance, but at least the current situation isn't too bad.

I can say with certainty that I was among the first batch to know about it.

Based on the analysis, since Bai Ye did not reply to his calls and text messages, it's likely the same for others.

If you are the one who approaches them first, then you are the first to know, and you can take action.

Although I don't know what others think, perhaps they are glad that Bai Ye gave up, or perhaps they have the same thoughts as me, but in any case, I was the one who found out first this time.

That means you're in the lead.

Suddenly, Kasumigaoka Utaha also felt a little regretful, thinking that she shouldn't have said those words in the first place.

This eliminates two more people who know, but Eriri isn't reliable, but what about Kato Megumi...?

Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at her subconsciously, thinking that she usually seemed harmless and there shouldn't be any other problems.

Furthermore, it wasn't apparent before that Kato Megumi had any special feelings for Byakuya.

kindness....

Looking at it this way, it doesn't seem like such a failure.

"Who...who's not chasing after anyone anymore?!"

Eriri felt a sudden, inexplicable panic after hearing Kasumigaoka Utaha's words.

She had initially thought that Kasumigaoka Utaha had simply rejected her, and she was secretly a little gloating.

I'm sure Bai Ye isn't such a superficial person.

But unexpectedly, Bai Ye was actually planning to focus on her career and cut off all those undesirable romantic entanglements.

For some reason, Eriri suddenly remembered something her mother had said before: "If you like someone, you like them. If you miss this chance, you'll never have another one!"

Chapter 208 - So... I'm going to pursue him?

"Hehe, why are you getting so worked up? Didn't you say you didn't like it?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha, observing the change in Eriri's expression, couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

She didn't believe a word Eriri said back then, and it was evident on her face. However, she didn't take it seriously. With Eriri's personality, wouldn't she eventually fail anyway?

No one will stand still and wait for anyone forever.

Kasumigaoka Utaha understood this principle today, so she realized that she needed to make some changes and think carefully about what she really wanted.

"I...why am I getting excited?!"

Eriri, like a tiger whose tail has been caught, blushed and fiercely retorted.

She just felt something was off; she wasn't excited at all!

"Heh, who cares what you think? That's just how he is now."

Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't expose Eriri; let her continue pretending if she wanted.

She had no time to care about others; instead, she needed to figure out what she should do next.

Once she was certain of her feelings, she decided to take action. As for Eriri's stubbornness, let her be stubborn; she'd have her regrets later. Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't intend to offer any advice.

"Shiyu-chan, what are you planning to do next?"

Kato Megumi looked calmly at Kasumigaoka Utaha, sensing that Utaha seemed to have some new ideas.

"Hmph, since he's already given up, then of course I'll let it go too!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha curled her lips slightly, and then slowly spoke.

Although it's unclear what Kato Megumi's feelings are for Byakuya, and given that she's observed the two of them before, there never seemed to be anything between them.

However, from this perspective, she dared not draw any conclusions. What exactly she was thinking was something only she herself could know.

Besides, there's another point: I can also say this to Eriri.

"Have you forgotten about it?"

Kato Megumi lowered her head thoughtfully, her mind seemingly lost in thought after hearing Kasumigaoka Utaha's answer.

"Then what is this?!"

Eriri suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Although both sides have chosen to give up, what exactly is the status of this matter now?

Suddenly, I felt like I had lost my purpose in life.

Although Bai Ye is a bit of a flirt, he used to occupy most of her time. Basically, whenever they had nothing to do, the two of them would spend time together, whether chatting or creating.

Eriri felt that she had actually gotten used to the days when Byakuya was in her life.

One day, she suddenly told herself that Bai Ye was preparing to withdraw, and that the two of them might never cross paths again.

Seeing this, she was at a loss for what to do.

After that, all that blank time in my life...

Suddenly I feel a little out of place.

The thought of Bai Ye leaving is so disturbing; it wasn't like this last time!

Actually, Eriri had thought about this question before her last date with Byakuya.

However, at that time, Bai Ye didn't give him any particularly strange feeling.

So Eriri didn't think much of it at the time.

Now, she suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

Eriri didn't have many friends to begin with, and now she's lost one more. How can she possibly be the same as before?

"What do you mean? We're just friends. In his opinion, he won't pursue anyone else after this!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha spoke slowly.

"friend?"

That seems like a good option.

Eriri breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Kasumigaoka Utaha's explanation.

I originally thought that Bai Ye was going to completely sever all ties with them.

"If there's nothing else, I'll head back now!"

After finishing her sentence, Kasumigaoka Utaha got up and prepared to go home.

So much has happened today, I need to go back and calm down.

After saying goodbye to the two, she went home and took a hot bath. While soaking in the bathtub, Kasumigaoka Utaha stared at the ceiling, which became increasingly blurry as the steam rose.

"He seems to have become the person I wanted him to be..."

What I hated most about Bai Ye back then was his behavior.

Chasing so many girls seems like a womanizer. Originally, Kasumigaoka Utaha thought Byakuya wanted to build a harem.

After all, who would pursue so many girls at the same time?

However, after what she had said to Byakuya, Kasumigaoka Utaha realized that this dim-witted guy just wanted to increase his chances of success.
