Tokyo: About My Yandere Girlfriend

After saying that, Liuli carefully released her right hand.

Sandu didn't make any crying sound, but salty liquid continued to seep out from the corners of her eyes.

"Really... You're obviously not a child anymore, but why do you keep calling 'Mom, Mom' like you did when you were in kindergarten? It seems like you haven't grown up at all."

Taking out a tissue from her pocket, Liuli began to carefully wipe the face in front of her that had become messy due to the influence of tears.

Really.

The result is the same as before, Sucrose has always been the little girl that makes people worry.

Crying like this won't solve the problem.

"Mother......"

"No, if Sugar tries to cry again, I will definitely get angry."

Liuli put on a serious tone...and began to look at the other person with a firm gaze that could not be rejected.

After a brief eye contact, Satang bit her lower lip and suddenly buried her cheek in her chest.

"Sister Kanagawa...you smell like mom."

Eh?

The aspect that was suddenly mentioned... took Liuli a while to react, and her right hand finally stopped at the back of the other person's head after a brief hesitation.

Aragaki store manager.

You... have always chosen to hide the truth. This is unfair to both you and Sucrose.

Even painful responses play a vital role in life.

Is it really the right choice to conceal it?

Is this really what the store manager wants?

Actually...this kind of thing should have been understood a long time ago, right?

The store manager who was trying to avoid contact with sugar at all times...his thoughts remained the same as before.

To die in such loneliness is not what one expects at all, right?

so......

Sorry.

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

Chapter 286 Secret Exposed

Snapped--

The palm of her hand hit her cheek without any hesitation. The sudden change in front of her made the passers-by around stop. The scene in front of her eyes made Nanami's pupils shrink.

Sand sugar...classmate...

Under the influence of the force, Aragaki Tsuneichi's cheek tilted slightly. The force of this slap was quite strong, and the wind it created was felt even by Nanami beside him.

"Liuli...it's you..."

Aragaki did not notice Sato's behavior at first. The person he noticed after he reacted was Kanagawa Ruri, who was standing on the side of the road with a determined look on her face.

"Yes, if I continue to hide it, it will be unfair to both you and Sugar. I will never allow that to happen. So I'm sorry, I can't fulfill my promise."

......Yeah.

This...if this happens, all the previous efforts will be wasted.

"Asshole...die..."

Suddenly, Sato grabbed the collar of her yukata with both hands... The sound of the crutches falling to the ground became more and more shrill. Nanami, who witnessed all this, just wanted to step forward to persuade them, but his idea seemed to be predicted in advance, and Aragaki Tsuneichi raised his hand to stop him.

Those brown eyes, already filled with fatigue, were trying their best to convey some message.

...Mr. Aragaki.

Is this your choice?

Nanami did not take the next step, but bent down to pick up the crutch.

His eyes refocused on the scene in front of him.

Sato, who clutched the collar of her yukata...had a different expression from her usual gentleness. She looked as if she was looking at an enemy, biting her lower lip tightly and her cheek twitching constantly. This was an expression that had never been seen before.

"You... you think it's okay to do this? Don't be ridiculous! People like you... I wouldn't care even if you died! Even if you explained the facts to me, I would just feel indifferent. Only a fool like you would think of doing such a meaningless thing. You think that hiding the truth can solve all problems, and that everything will be fine as long as you don't explain. Why do you think I care about such things? Why do you have such unrealistic ideas? Do you think you have anticipated everything? Do you think that all the troubles can be solved by choosing this approach? Don't be ridiculous! I will never care about you from the beginning to the end... I will never..."

Her lung capacity exceeded her body's limit, and as she spoke these words hysterically, a look of pain appeared on her face, and she began to breathe greedily to absorb the oxygen floating in the air.

The sunlight poured down on the two of them, and the scene before them seemed to be frozen.

Aragaki slowly raised his right hand with a soft light in his eyes...his palm landed on his shoulder.

"I'm sorry, Sugar, I'm not a qualified father."

"you you......"

Sato's voice was mixed with sobs, and her forehead leaned weakly on Aragaki's chest.

Venting out her inner dissatisfaction, large beads of sweat began to flow out of the corners of her eyes uncontrollably, falling onto the ground continuously, until she could no longer even sob. Then Sugar raised her right hand and gently pounded her shoulders as if to vent her emotions.

"I will never forgive you... No matter if it takes ten years... twenty years, I will never forgive you... liar... liar..."

Sato, who always regarded tears as important, was now shedding tears so generously and wantonly... The scene that appeared in front of her made Nanami's thoughts pause for a moment.

Should...what to do.

No... At this moment, there is no point in thinking about these things. Although it may be a bit cold to think so, the person who should make the choice right now is Mr. Aragaki.

The secret is exposed...

Nanami also thought about confessing to Sato, but every time he was about to take the most crucial step, he would have the idea of ​​retreating.

Will telling the truth change anything? If it only adds to the painful memories, maybe hiding it is the best idea?

——There will always be another voice in your heart at critical moments, and the ideas that have already been determined will be affected unconsciously.

This situation...has consequences that are quite dire. It will subtly change the ideas that one was originally trying to uphold, and even the person himself may find it difficult to notice the change.

Kanagawa-senpai...it seems like you're not troubled by any of this.

"Nanami, will you blame me for telling Satou the truth?"

Kanagawa Ruri appeared behind her at some point...she scared Nanami like a ghost.

"Kanagawa-senpai...what's wrong..."

Kanagawa Ruri tapped her right cheek with her index finger, leaned forward, and began to look at Nanami's flustered face with careful eyes.

Even after saying those words, he still had a calm expression on his face. Senior...it's really surprising.

"I feel like... Nanami looks strange. Is it because I broke my promise that I will be punished by the two store managers soon?"

Maybe it was an illusion.

In Nanami's opinion, Kanagawa-senpai's tone, which could be easily misunderstood, was completely deliberate.

Even after seeing Mr. Aragaki endure such a powerful slap...he still looked as if nothing had happened. Is this really what he was thinking?

The specific answer is no longer known.

Right now, there is another aspect that is even more important.

----------

The quiet atmosphere made it impossible to know how to start the conversation.

In the room covered by the bright light of the fluorescent lamp, Nanami kept his face down from the beginning. Beside him, Sato looked at him as if he was examining a criminal who had committed a serious mistake. That iron face without any emotion brought the greatest deterrence among the three.

There has never been a more tense moment than now.

"So, Nanami knew about this a long time ago, right? The reason why she chose to hide it was... just to fulfill that meaningless promise."

The first person to break this peace was Sugar.

From the way she addressed him, Nanami was able to infer that the other party at this moment was like a time bomb, and he was the expert in charge of bomb disposal. He had to be careful at every step, otherwise the bomb would explode.

Sato's cold eyes swept across Nanami's drooping cheeks. Sitting on both sides of the low table were Aragaki Tsuneichi and Kanagawa Ruri. After witnessing this scene, the two showed no signs of speaking.

After the hidden secret was exposed, the sugar-classmate who appeared in front of me now... is scary.

"Yes, indeed."

After saying this... Nanami's cheeks drooped even more obviously than before.

Really...

You two should at least set a good example. Are you just going to ignore everything after you dragged me into this trap?

"You... have been hiding this from me for so long..."

I hope he won't be killed.

At this moment, Nanami has prepared for the worst.

He lowered his head and his voice became extremely faint.

"I'm sorry...it's all I can do."

Perhaps, even if he faced the same choice again, he would choose the decision he made at that time.

After all, he knew very well in his heart that Nanami was essentially the kind of guy who liked to deal with troublesome things.

"You...you three are all equally bad. You're the most annoying."

She glanced at the remaining three people with dissatisfaction... There was more or less some fear in the eyes of her father and the scholar. Only sister Kanagawa Ruri had the smile on her face that never changed from the moment she entered the door.

...is unpleasant.

"You are one of the people I hate. Even if you act happy to me, the ending will not change at all."

Sandu tried to say this in a cold tone.

And the response that greeted her... was still the same as before.

The smile on Liuli's face seemed to become even more obvious.
