I loaded the dream game

Kato Megumi chuckled, held the juice in both hands, and said in a nostalgic tone

"I know. Xia Zhi didn't pay attention to other people at that time."

"...I didn't participate in club activities, nor was I active in group activities with my classmates. I didn't try to integrate into any group in the class...I didn't pay attention to anyone during the summer solstice. It was normal for them not to pay attention to me at that time."

"..."

I feel like I'm an autistic teenager.

"In Hui's eyes, I am such a gloomy image?" Xia Zhi couldn't help but complain.

"... Is Xia Zhi hinting at my personality by saying this?" Kato Megumi asked back, tilting her head slightly.

Xia Zhi finally reacted... Although the reasons were different, judging from the way she behaved, it seemed that almost all the words just said could be applied to her.

Thinking about it this way, Hui and I are quite similar in some aspects.

"That's why Xia Zhi and I get along so well..." Kato Megumi nodded in agreement. .........

No, that's another reason.

Xia Zhi complained in his heart.

Looking at the delicate face of the girl in front of him, he suddenly remembered something.

She said before that she would stay in the classroom only because she had something to do. Was it to wait for me to come back?

"... Hui." After a moment's silence, Xia Zhi called the girl.

"Ok?"

Kato Megumi looked at him puzzledly.

"Do you want to go home together today?" Xia Zhi suggested.

Although I don't quite understand why she asked this question suddenly, Kato Megumi doesn't mind it.

but……

"Don't you need to pick up sister Xia Zhi?"

"She had her final exam today and she went home long ago after finishing it."

Kato Megumi recalled that she seemed to have heard that the final exams in junior high school would be held two days earlier.

"But, the club..."

"It's okay, just tell Yukino."

After thinking for a while, Xia Zhi continued, "If you don't mind, you can go back now."

Anyway, by the time the lecture is over, it will be almost time to go home for school.

"Ah, that's not necessary."

Kato Megumi shook her head. She had no intention of leaving early. Besides, it felt good to stay in a classroom with 5.2, where only the two of them were, and wait for school to end.

However, if we follow what he just said...

"It feels like eloping," she couldn't help but sigh.

"This word is usually used for couples whose relationship is not recognized, right?" Xia Zhi couldn't help but complain.

In response, Kato Hui tilted her head slightly and asked: "Isn't this the relationship we have now?"

Xia Zhi was slightly stunned.

Kato Megumi did not continue the topic. After breathing a sigh of relief, she looked into his eyes and asked:

"Xiazhi... Can you tell me what happened between Yukino and Haruno-senpai?"

.......

Chapter 1430: Kato Megumi is not the heroine of the boy

Originally, Xia Zhi thought that the girl wanted to know the relationship between the two sisters Yukino and Haruno, but after additional explanation, he realized that she just wanted to know what the two had done in the past few days.

"Eh... Is this what Yukino and the others are planning?"

On the way home, after listening to Xia Zhi's explanation, Kato Megumi made a thoughtful sound.

"I thought you knew it a long time ago." Xia Zhi said.

"I just noticed it before, but none of you told me."

Kato Megumi shook her head slightly, then a worried expression appeared on her face.

Xia Zhi knew what she was thinking. She didn't want her reputation to be damaged because of this incident, but she also didn't want others to be hurt because of it.

That's why Mr. Madoka said that this is not the best way.

Xia Zhi thought to himself and comforted her, "Don't worry, I will take care of it."

Even if I hadn't promised Mr. Madoka, this matter was my responsibility and I should shoulder it well.

"I know Xia Zhi will be able to handle it in the end."

The girl's soft voice came to my ears

　19 "It's just..."

Xia Zhi felt that the girl beside him stopped walking, and turned back in confusion, and saw Kato Hui standing there, staring at him with clear eyes.

"Xiazhi, are you going to solve it in the same way?"

"..."

Seeing that the boy didn't answer, she sighed slightly.

"...You three really look alike."

Not really. Yang No joined in out of her own selfishness and to protect her sister, while Yukino didn't want this fake relationship to continue and, like Hui, she didn't want them to get hurt in the process... Eh? So, it seems a bit similar?

While Xia Zhi was thinking this, Kato Megumi caught up with him again.

"What do I look like in Xia Zhi's eyes?" She asked curiously, tilting her head slightly to peek at the boy's cheek.

How should I put this?

Xia Zhi thought for a moment and replied, "A very ordinary, yet very special girl."

“That’s a really general answer.”

Kato Megumi sighed softly and looked up at the sunset in the distance that dyed the sky red.

Come to think of it, it's hard to sum up the characteristics of someone like me, right? Whether it's personality or something else.

"I am not that noble, nor that tolerant..."

The girl paused for a moment, as if she was thinking about what to say next. After a moment, she continued:

"I thought about it at the time...if it really doesn't work, we can just keep pretending."

This is indeed a solution, but Yukino would not agree to it. After all, she hates such fake things, and one of her goals is to end this relationship as soon as possible.

"...But, this won't work."

Without waiting for Xia Zhi to answer, Kato Megumi denied it herself.

"I know... Yukino, you like the summer solstice too, right?"

Facing the boy's gaze, Kato Megumi smiled apologetically:

"Sorry, I overheard it."

"..."

Xia Zhi wanted to complain a little bit, it seems that the sound insulation of the bathroom door in the apartment is a little poor. But it may also be related to the fact that he did not actively cover up the sound at that time.

And even if this incident had not happened, neither himself nor Yukino had ever "avoided suspicion" in front of her and their relationship. Xia Zhi was not very surprised that the girl would realize this one day.

however

"Not only Yukino, Xiazhi also likes Yang No-senpai, right?"

The girl then asked.

Ahem, this...

"...It's hard for anyone not to like a girl like Yang Nai, right?" Xia Zhi looked away guiltily.

Hearing this, Kato Hui just sighed helplessly: "Xiazhi, you are really greedy."

I just made the same mistake that every man makes... Although I want to argue like this, I feel that it is totally unconvincing to say it now.

"I'm really sorry, that's just who I am." Xia Zhi had no choice but to reply.

Admit it bluntly?

Kato Megumi thought.

really...

"If you want to maintain my favor, just lie at times like this." She reminded the boy.

He not only plays with several girls at the same time, but also deliberately lies to hide his relationship with them. He also has to pay attention to the way he interacts with them and the distance he keeps. Not only does he feel uncomfortable, but he also feels too wronged for the girls who like him.

On the other hand, perhaps due to my personality, even if I lie, it is usually easy to be found out.

Maybe it's really like Yukino said, I'm not good at covering up lies.

And

"If one day I have to rely on lies to maintain my relationship with Hui, I would feel very uncomfortable." Xia Zhi replied.

This answer seemed to make the girl very happy, and a smile finally appeared on her face.

Kato Hui put her hands behind her back, lowered her head and looked at the shadow under her feet, and said softly

"But just like Xia Zhi said, this is inevitable. Whether in appearance, ability or personality, they are better than me."

Just like the heroines in games, in order to have enough memorable points and be loved by people, they are always given various unique characteristics. Seniors Yukino and Haruno are born like this. Compared with them, I can't even leave a deep impression on people.

If Yukino had known the boy first, he would have remembered her at first sight, the girl thought.

"…They are the 'heroines' in the eyes of others, and I am just one of the countless insignificant passers-by characters." Kato Megumi continued with a sigh.

Xia Zhi disagrees with this. Even if we put aside the influence of subjective emotions, Hui is still a very outstanding girl.

And

"Aren't Hui and I the same?" he asked.

Speaking of passers-by, he was also one of these countless passers-by characters in the past, right?

Kato Megumi did not deny this, after all, they are really similar in many ways.

But, but...

"...Xia Zhi once said that for a person, you are the protagonist of your own life, right?" She tilted her head slightly and asked.

Moreover, now that the summer solstice has become so special, it is hard to say that it is no longer the protagonist.

Since he is the protagonist, it is only natural for him to pursue a more outstanding heroine.

"Between Yukino, Haruno-senpai, and me, it's right to choose them."

She stopped again.

Only then did Xia Zhi realize that they had unknowingly returned to the girl's doorstep.

"Xia Zhi said at that time that I could be the heroine of my own life...but, that was only for me." Recalling the boy's words, Kato Megumi said softly.

But what she wanted to say at that time was not about herself.

"…Just like I couldn't fit into Xiazhi's world back then, it's the same now."

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the girl turned around and looked towards Xia Zhi, revealing a somewhat lonely smile.

"I am not the heroine of Summer Solstice."
