When she was having some doubts about the situation in front of her, Kazuya's voice that seemed to be a little far away also came.

"Kato, so, have you ever faced such a situation where you can only succeed and not fail?"

"Feel sorry."

"I haven't faced it either. In fact, I hate to lose face, so in most cases, I will leave myself a way back and leave an alternative except for the one time Yingli confessed."

"That time when I confessed to Ying Lili?"

Kato showed a surprised expression.

"Yeah, the one time I confessed to Eiri was an exception."

Kazuya showed a nostalgic expression and said,

"The only time I was completely dominated by the thoughts in my head, I didn't leave any way out for myself, I just rushed over in such a stupid way, I didn't know how to solve it, I only knew that I had to do it, and that was the only time.

Do you know what this actually means? "

Kato shook his head subconsciously.

"This means, how important Eri is to my heart!"

Kazuya said almost gritted his teeth,

"So it's a very reasonable thing to say that I'm an idiot, and just that one thing is enough to prove the position of Ying Lili in my heart, but I was born because of her doubts. Doubt about myself, I don't know how slow I am about my inner feelings!"

"This, isn't this good?"

Kato's body trembled, and Kazuya's sudden confession made her mentality, which she thought she had adjusted well, panic again.

"Yes, it's good, so, now, I'm going to do it again!"

Kazuya's face showed a decided color,

"Just think about Yingri, and don't think about other people no matter what the price is. Just like that time, yes, just like that time, with this kind of awareness, then everything is not a problem, right?"

"Then do it!"

Kato replied weakly, Kazuya's words just now pierced her heart like a needle, and even so, she must show a calm look and listen to Kazuya's words.

"That's right, then do it--I told myself the same, but why, why can't I do it!"

Kazuya raised his fist high, but then he could only gently place it on the table.

"Why, why can't it be done?

Wouldn't it be nice to move forward like you did when you confessed to Eiri?

Didn't I also forget Shi Yu-senpai at that time?

Didn't I also forget about you, Kato?

Wouldn't it be nice to be like that time?

But why can't it be done?

Seeing the expression on Shiyu-senpai's face when she left, and realizing that Shiyu-senpai was really about to leave me, it was really painful!

It was so painful that even if I had to let myself get rid of all that, it would be difficult to support it entirely by liking Yingri!

I never knew I was so greedy, and I never knew I'd disgusted myself so much, you know? "

"Right?

You don't understand, because Kato, you haven't left yet, because Kato, you can always give me advice behind my back!

Because, Kato, you have never abandoned me, have you? "

Kazuya looked at Kato with a helpless expression on his face.

"I--"

Kato is sensitively aware that if Kazuya gives a positive answer at this time, it may lead to a result that she does not want to see.

"Is that right?"

Looking at Kato's hesitant expression, Kazuya smiled helplessly,

"I will never forget your words, if you have a choice, you must give up.

So, now, I have to repeat that sentence, right? "

"not like this!"

Her reason couldn't keep up with what she said. When Kato realized what she said, she couldn't stop herself.

"I've always been a good friend of Aragaki-san, right?

I've always been a good friend of Ying Lili, right?

So, supporting the relationship between the two of you is a necessary task for me, isn't it?

So, I don't think I can give up on both of you until I finally resolve all of your problems, can I? "—Crazy, I must be crazy!

After saying these words, Kato closed her eyes. Although all reason told her that she had done something very dangerous, emotionally, she couldn't raise the consciousness of resisting herself.

Kazuya's tingling feeling for her when she emphasized her relationship with Ying Lili before, and when she said

"I can't do it this time"

The unexpected feeling of happiness in her heart, the alternating appearance of these two feelings, she no longer wants to endure.

"Ying Lili, I'm still your good best friend, really, I know you both are in great pain, so let me support you until the end!"

Trembling and putting his hands on Kazuya's, Kato muttered to himself in his heart.

Afterwards, she showed a serene expression towards He Ye:

"Do not worry!

Aragaki-san, this time, if you fail, I will be your retreat. "

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Even Kato herself doesn't know how much falsehood and self-deception are in the last sentence of the support, but she knows very well that since Kazuya and Eiri were together, her initial feelings

"As long as you are humble, everyone's relationship can be restored as before"

The simple idea of ​​​​was not realized, but began to break down continuously.

The current conflict between Kazuya and Shiyu is just a concrete manifestation of the collapse. In addition to Lunya, who is still ambitious, Kato and Eiri and Shiyu, who have a little understanding of Kazuya and other girls, are all I understand that the relationship between everyone now cannot be restored to the original one. At this time, even if someone thinks about using

"play games"

In the name of calling everyone together, it can't be done.

And this process of collapse gradually from inconspicuous to obvious is actually the process of Kato's mentality gradually becoming discordant.

At first, when blessing-software could still be the final production of the previous game, when it was released in the same club classroom, Kato could still joke with Yingri and Kazuya, and he could also be between the two of them. The mediator, even when Kazuo also showed her love to Inri on the football field, although there was a slight tingling in her heart, she was still able to offer her blessings to Inri.

At that time, Kato almost thought he had solved his psychological problems.

However, what followed was the collapse, the cessation of club activities, and the inexplicable competition and confrontation between Kazuya and Shiyu in various aspects, which made the sensitive Kato realize that this may be the final collapse. omen.

But at that time, Kato still held a kind of naivety

"Cut off the existing relationship and start over with a new attitude towards each other"

The idea of ​​​​that is also the reason why she advised and also Yu Shiyu not to be weak in the confrontation at that time.

However, this time, although she also made the same suggestion to and also, she has realized that the so-called

"Cut off existing relationships" doesn't mean being able to face other people with a new attitude, she can't do it herself, neither can Shi Yu.

For Kato, let Kazuya have a direct dialogue with Shi Yu. For Kato, it is an opportunity for Kato to save Shi Yu, and it is also his last attempt to save everyone and his goal of being with everyone—it’s just that , it turned out that her attempt failed again.

So, in this case Kato said

"Support"

versus

"backing"

Rather than standing behind Kazuya to support him, it is better to say that she was trying to grab the last straw for herself.

The former Kato has become accustomed to being alone, accustomed to watching other people's various fights and wrapping himself in an inconspicuous coat in the corner, but, after having such a collective, Kato already knew that he could not return. to the past.

Therefore, even if the entire group cannot be reshaped, as long as he can tie himself and the other two members of the group, Kazuya and Yingri, then, for himself, it should be a kind of redemption. This is Kato. In her heart, she didn't even want to admit it, but she had to constantly warn her about her true thoughts. However, Kazuya, who seemed exhausted because of other things on her own, had no way of feeling Kato's feelings. In other words, hoping to find a way out, of course, as he had done countless times before, he chose to trust Kato unconditionally, chose to unconditionally, and at the last moment, also counted on such a seemingly ordinary girl. miracles that can be created.

Even if this girl doesn't seem to have anything to do with him other than friends, even if this girl is actually overwhelmed by the psychological pressure on her body, even if she has had sex with him

"Shared responsibility, shared face"

The agreed person is another person.

However, at least for now, Kazuya's flustered mood has calmed down a little because of Kato's comfort, he patted his face a little, and Kazuya said seriously:

"When you have come this far, there is no way to go back, right?

So, Kato, let's go read my novel again, although I know that you may have the idea of ​​procrastinating the time before, but this time, it is my active suggestion! "

"I don't think this is necessary, Aragaki-san."

Kato shook his head,

"Judging from the situation just now, I think it may be better to wait for the editorial department to notify you of the specific sales."

"Won't,"

And also rejected Kato's suggestion,

"My and Shiyu-senpai's books should be placed in the 'new book recommendation' section of the bookstore, so just go to the bookstore and wait an hour to see the sales ratio of my and Shiyu-senpai's books. , maybe a preliminary estimate can be made.”

"Well, since you said so."

Although Kato looked normal, there was a faint pleading and a weak Kazuya in his eyes, and finally nodded helplessly.

--------------------------------Dividing line---------------- --------------Two hours later.

"Although the overall statistical sample is still not enough, it can basically be seen that the sales ratio of Aragaki-san's works and Kasumigaoka-senpai's works is about 1:2. This is almost the result of crushing. In terms of pre-sale volume, the gap is not that big.”

Kato Yukazu also stayed in front of the new book showcase for a long time, until the clerk repeatedly looked at him with distrustful eyes, and the two chose to leave. However, before leaving, they still had a general understanding of the sales of novels.

"After all, apart from pre-sale, people who come to bookstores to temporarily buy light novels pay more attention to the author's name and illustrations, right?
