"Yes... Mei is such a person, as if she suffers from paranoid personality."

...An unexpected answer.

Nanami was surprised.

"I see. In this case... Mei-senpai doesn't sound like the kind of girl who is easy to get along with. It must have taken a lot of effort for Aragaki-san to get to this point with her."

"That was twenty years ago... I would have almost forgotten if Nanami hadn't asked me. Besides... here you come."

Eh?

Faced with what Aragaki said... Nanami was confused, but it only lasted for a few seconds, and he soon got the answer.

In front of me, ten meters away.

A person looking over here with a hateful expression, his eyes red and his hands clenched into fists.

——Arisu Satou-san.

Chapter 285 No matter what...I can't go on

As she ran, the scenery on both sides of the road kept passing by, and the noise of the wind made the symphony of the leaves swaying overhead blurred. Finally, after running a distance, Arisu Satsuma put on slippers on the shoe rack at the entrance, and stepped on the creaking wooden stairs to the second floor.

The sliding door was opened and then closed with a loud noise.

Sandu leaned against the sliding door, and her body gradually slid down the wooden door and onto the floor beneath her feet.

The scene I just saw -

dad......

Why is he here? The writer mentioned before that this trip was a date between two people. If that was the case... why would he appear in such an occasion...

not understand.

I don't understand at all.

Have you been deceived...

Cheating...why...why do this.

With her knees bent, Sandu's body arched, and then her cheek was buried in her knees.

unhappy.

If I want to use the date to facilitate a meeting with my father... this is not fair at all, right? This kind of lie... we had already agreed not to cheat in these areas.

My body felt the urge to cry.

The date didn't matter, and meeting Dad in a place like this didn't matter either.

The only aspect that matters, the only aspect that cannot be ignored.

Why choose to conceal these aspects?

Why...literati...

The force of burying the knees became stronger than before.

At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the sliding door. Was it the scholar? This thought occurred to me for a few seconds, but I quickly rejected it with my intuition.

No...not really.

"Sugar...are you there?"

Hearing the gentle voice of a woman next to her ear, Sugar quickly raised her cheek and looked around.

No...I didn't go into the wrong room.

The sound...is it an hallucination?

"Small sugar..."

The voice sounded again.

This time, Sucrose was completely sure that this was not an illusion.

The sound does not appear indoors, but in...

She stood up and the door was pulled open.

A woman with short hair and a surprised expression was looking back at her less than a meter away, with her upper body partially sticking out through the crack in the door... When she saw her, a familiar name immediately came to her mind.

"Sister Liuli..."

"Ah, so it's here."

Kanagawa Ruri leaned closer with a smile, then blinked in surprise, and her voice became unbelievable.

"Sugar...are you...are you crying?"

"Eh?"

It was not until this moment that the cold touch on her cheek made Satoshi realize something belatedly. She raised her hands and closed her eyes, and her reaction looked clumsy.

...This kid, really.

"I'm going in."

After saying this, Liuli entered the room and closed the wooden sliding door.

The air seemed to have stopped flowing in the space where the two of them were alone. The subtle sounds were amplified several times under this premise. The silent atmosphere lasted for about a few minutes, and the first person to speak was... Liuli.

It should be...because of those aspects?

She wasn't really sure, but there was no better choice at the moment, so she should give it a try, right? Even if she wasn't sure at the moment.

With this thought in mind, she quickly took the initiative to speak.

"Sugar...what's wrong? Why are you crying alone in a place like this? What happened?"

In response to her question...Sugar raised her cheek and glanced at the other person quickly, and then the expression on her face seemed to return to normal, neutral, without any joy or sadness.

"No, nothing..."

"Sugar... If I say this to someone who is slow-witted, it might work, but don't underestimate me, sister. I know what you are thinking. You..."

Liuli leaned over, and their palms touched at this moment.

"Actually, it's because of the arrival of Manager Aragaki that you're acting so unhappy...right?"

"I... am not like that..."

Sato turned her face away, but the next moment Liuli-senpai stretched out his hands, fixed both cheeks with his palms, and then used a forceful movement to make her turn her eyes to look straight ahead.

"Don't look down on your sister, idiot. You think Nanami cheated on you, right? Satoshi must have thought, 'It's a date, but this guy is trying to be clever in this way,' right? Because you were cheated, you hid in a place like this to vent your tears, and then acted like it didn't matter to you in order to deceive me, your sister."

"Oh... Sister Kanagawa... it hurts, it hurts..."

With her cheeks held by the other person, Satoshi's voice became unclear.

but--

"It's very cute. This kind of childlike personality, I used to have this kind of thought often."

Liuli released her hands, then pinched Sandu's round cheeks playfully, and continued speaking in a didactic tone.

"But, I want to make one thing clear. It's okay to have such thoughts, but it's a bit too reckless for a girl to jump to conclusions before finding out the facts. The truth...is often not what you imagine."

"I...I didn't..."

Sugar turned her gaze away, her attitude still as tough as before.

In this regard, Liuli seemed to ignore these aspects and still insisted on his own theory.

"Many times, humans make common sense mistakes. They easily deny everything because of a sudden thought. When they really know the answer, they realize that their actions were wrong. By then, there is no point in regretting it, right?"

"...Why did my sister tell me this?"

"Because, I want to tell Xiaoshatang that this meeting with Nanami was purely a matter of luck. I didn't expect to meet you in a place like this. I was shocked when I saw you guys."

"...Liar, this probability is simply impossible."

After saying this, Sando immediately felt a sharp pain in her cheek.

When she opened her eyes, what appeared before her was the face of Kanagawa Ruri, who was about to approach her and looking at her side with an unhappy expression.

"Really? You're actually starting to doubt even your sister's words? Satou has really changed a lot since leaving home. Looks like I have to teach you a lesson and let you know who is the senior."

After saying this, Liuli pretended to increase the strength of her hands.

Just as she looked at the face in front of her again, the face that was completely filled with aggrieved expression and seemed like tears would ooze out of the corners of the eyes in the next second made her pause for a moment.

Eh? Could it be that... I've overdone it a bit?

"Mom...I'm being bullied..."

As soon as this thought came to mind, the next second, tears began to seep out of the corners of Satang's eyes... Witnessing all this, Liuli slightly opened her lips and let out a long "eh" sound.

Cry...crying?

The crying sounds echoing around were getting louder and louder. If it continued like this, it would definitely cause complaints from some customers who were taking a break. Moreover, she would be scolded by the two store managers. The one who noticed these disturbing aspects and became completely flustered at this moment was Liuli.

Ah... dealing with this kind of thing... is not something I am good at...

Why did you act like an idiot?

Liuli paused with her hands in mid-air, and after a brief hesitation, she made a forceful inhalation motion, then quickly stretched out her right hand and covered the lips of the crying Sando.

"Stop! You are not allowed to cry. It will disturb other guests."

In response to her sudden attack...Sugar sniffed and her crying gradually stopped at this moment.

......Finally stopped.

Anyway...let's try to say something first.

Then, Liuli pretended to cough and her face suddenly became serious.

"Listen to me, I have no intention of deceiving Xiao Shatang. Everything I just mentioned is true. This meeting was just a coincidence. Manager Nanami did not use the convenience of the date to do something else. That guy is definitely a very focused man, so you understand? Even if you don't believe me, you have to believe him, right?"

“Hmm…Hmm…”

Sugar made the sound with difficulty.

"Then I'll let you go. If you still want to cry, I'll just... just cry with you then. I came here to explain the facts to you but I'm still being treated like this... I should be the one who's wronged."
