I, who advocate giving up, feel like a disqualified person

Ling Can always uses slightly hurtful terms when he opens his mouth, but luckily I'm used to it.

"Ah, yes, the Useless Mage."

Calmly give the other person a taste of his own medicine.

"Wait, who is the Useless Mage?"

Lingcan looked like she wanted to stand up and hit me, but I ignored her and continued walking inside.

"Ah, good morning, Sheji."

Ling Jiayin said and waved to me.

"Well, good morning." Then he sat down in his seat smoothly.

"What have you been busy with recently? You left in a hurry as soon as school was over yesterday afternoon... Is it because of club activities?" Jiayin asked.

So I turned around and answered her:

"I'm participating in club activities... I guess so... And I'm pretty busy with this activity..."

It is a club activity, yes, but it is not an activity of my original club.

Ah... I suddenly felt a chilling aura behind me...

I turned around and saw Rinsenkawa, whose facial expression remained unchanged, but whose eyes held a murderous glare. Ah... so scary, but I'll just say hello anyway...

"Well... Good morning, Rin..."

Before I uttered the word "Izumukawa", Rin Izumukawa had already withdrawn his gaze and picked up the book to read... It seemed like he was deliberately ignoring me.

Then, from morning till now after school this afternoon, Rinquanchuan cut off all contact with me. Even when my eraser fell at her feet, she acted as if nothing had happened.

So, will Rinsen River, who has already taken measures to block me, accept my proposal now... or will it listen to me properly...

With such questions in mind, I pushed open the door of the tea ceremony club.

Chapter 14: The Reason for Running

"Yo..." I pushed the door open and immediately caught Rinquanchuan's attention... If things were not going well, I would still have time to escape before I even set foot in the activity room.

"......" Lin Quanchuan just glanced at me with a cold look, and then continued reading.

Ignored. Doesn't seem dangerous...

"Ah...um...can I come in?" I asked Rinquanchuan tentatively.

Then I received a look that was slightly angry but more murderous... Well, let's just forget about this situation.

Just when I was about to stand outside the door and talk to her about the cooperation, someone suddenly pushed me from behind, so I was caught off guard and almost fell into the activity room. The force was just right... Are you a science student?

Rin Hanekawa, remember this...

But at this time, we should still be concerned about Rinquanchuan's reaction.

A puzzled expression as if to say, "Is there anyone outside?"

"There's no one outside... I just tripped accidentally." Ah... what a far-fetched explanation.

"Oh, really? Well, what are you doing here, a lowly creature who can't even walk or keep his promises?"

Are you really still upset about me breaking the agreement? You're surprisingly stingy... Well, on the other hand, Rinsenkawa is also very concerned about what kind of activities the tea ceremony club will hold, and she entrusted this matter to me out of trust... Well, no matter what, as long as I tell her about the cooperation, I should be able to salvage something.

"Well, it's about the tea ceremony club's activities. Didn't I mention it before? I just didn't have time to say it. I wonder if you'd like to hear it now?"

My heartbeat quickened when I said this...

"Wow... since it's already been mentioned, it's okay to listen to your explanation."

Phew... Fortunately, it seems there is still room for reconciliation.

"Just think of it as the barking of a lost dog."

This sentence makes me feel very uneasy!

"Hmm... ahem," I said, calming down. "We've mentioned before that the only activity the Tea Ceremony Club can offer is tea tasting, but the scope of publicity is really limited, so we can consider leveraging the influence of other clubs. In fact, I've already discussed with the drama club and can provide tea during their performances..."

"I reject."

His tone was cold... no, it was even a little angry... was he angry because of me?

"Why refuse?" I was a little confused.

Lin Quanchuan's usual calm expression was replaced by an angry expression.

"You idiot! What the hell do you think of the tea I made?!" she yelled at me.

"..." Looking at the unusual Rinsen River, I was stunned for a moment.

"You take your tea too seriously, don't you?"

Unexpectedly, Rin Hanekawa's voice sounded from behind me.

Hey, hey! What are you doing out here at this critical moment? And you're saying such provocative things! Are you here to start a fight? You're definitely here to start a fight!

When Rinquangawa saw Rinyugawa suddenly appear, he was stunned for a moment because of shock, then his brows furrowed, his expression became much gloomier, and his anger increased.

"Hmph...what are you doing here..."

Rinsenkawa asked Hanekawa in an unusually cold tone.

"I came to see if my silly sister has matured. It seems she hasn't changed at all. She's still the super self-centered and communication-impaired girl."

Oh, that gloomy face with a hint of a smile and the contemptuous tone in which he spoke these words, this taunting skill must have reached its maximum level, and every word directly hits the vital point of Rinquanchuan...

"None of your business." He still spoke in a cold tone, and didn't say much... I guess he didn't know how to mock me back.

"Why don't you want me to take care of you? From childhood to adulthood, I've always been the one to solve your problems, and yet you can't do anything I've given you. If you don't want me to take care of you, then just cooperate with the drama club."

Oh, she's acting like a strong older sister. Is this a skill that can only be used against Rinsenkawa? So magical... Oh, no, why am I just watching and sighing? I should be trying to stop the fight...

"Um...can you please listen to me first..."

"Shut up!" "Don't talk too much!"

Haha... As expected, just shut up.

"I said no. The Tea Ceremony Society would rather not participate in any activities than use that form to increase its visibility."

This kind of firm tone... is definitely not something that the usual Rinsenchuan could say. It seems...

"Of course, you're the president of the Tea Ceremony Club after all. But don't forget that I'm the founder of this club! If you don't listen to me, I can make this place disappear."

Oh, it appears, the means of using power to blackmail.

"Whatever you want. If that's the case, I'll apply to establish a club again."

"But it needs approval from the student union."

As he said this, he deliberately puffed out his chest towards Rinquanchuan.

"Hmm..." Rinquanchuan lowered his head.

Is it because her sister is a member of the student council or because of the huge difference in strength between their breasts...

"Besides, wouldn't cooperation give us the opportunity to promote your so-called tea ceremony?"

"......"

Although Rinsenkawa didn't say anything, I could sense that the atmosphere was a little off.

But at this moment, Rinhanekawa seemed unaware of the change in his sister's emotions, and continued to say things that were too harsh on Rinhanekawa.

"I don't know why you like this outdated thing so much. Who would be interested in a tea ceremony club these days? You're just killing time with this kind of thing."

"Do you really understand the tea ceremony? It's just brewing tea leaves, right? I can do that, too. And anyone can learn it quickly, right?"

"If you're afraid of getting tired, you can just ask the drama club's idle staff to make tea. You just need to provide the tea leaves. Is that okay?"

"......"

As expected...Rin Hanekawa really doesn't know her sister well enough.

Maybe in Rinhanekawa's eyes, what Rinizumikawa called tea ceremony was just playing house, just a way to pass the time, and it was something that everyone could learn.

However, this is Rinsenkawa's hobby, something she cherishes deeply. She doesn't want to collaborate with the drama club because it would diminish the value of tea ceremony in her heart, much like a painter unwilling to sell their paintings at a low price even if they're starving.

So, stop talking, Hanekawa...

"so..."

"Snapped!"

Ugh... Ugh?! What happened!

When I wasn't paying attention, Rinsenkawa rushed up to Hanekawa, slapped her, and then rushed out of the activity room.

"...Ah, uh..." I hesitated and turned my gaze to Rin Hanekawa.

"Why..." Rin Yukawa's mood became much lower, and tears welled up in his eyes, "How could this happen..."

Haven't you figured it out yet? Please try to put yourself in their shoes and think a little more.

"It seems she still hates me..."

"No." I denied her conclusion.

"But she..."

"Whether I rejected your proposal or hit you, it doesn't mean I can conclude that Rinquanchuan hates you."

"Are you kidding me?" Even with tears in her eyes, she still looked at me seriously.

"No..." I sighed, "You just don't know how to talk, and you don't really understand your sister."

"...What nonsense are you talking about...My sister, why am I..."

"It's because of this way of thinking that you don't understand her." I interrupted Rin Yukawa. "You arrange all kinds of things for Rin Izumikawa without considering her feelings. You just think you know her well enough, so you judge her way of thinking by your own way of thinking. The result can only be that you understand your sister less and less."

"Heh... Nonsense..."

Although it was a negative statement, his tone was clearly wavering, and he even bit his lip... Was he reflecting on his actions?

"If you don't believe me, then answer a few questions about Rinquanchuan." I paused, "Why does Rinquanchuan like to read alone?"

“…” Rin Yukawa lowered his head.

"Why does Rinquanchuan play so many games?"

“…” No answer, just biting her lip again.

Very good, just one last step.

"Why did Rinsenkawa agree to take over the tea ceremony club?"

"...Of course...because she likes it..."

"So, how did you know that Rinquanchuan likes the tea ceremony?"

After asking this question, Rin Hanekawa's body visibly shook. He raised his head and looked at me, his mouth opening as if to say something, but as if he lacked the courage, he didn't say it.

"Well, this isn't a question about the Rinsen River, so it's okay if you don't answer it, but you have to understand..."

However, before I could finish my words, Rin Hanekawa grabbed my arm and pulled me out of the activity room.

"What are you doing!"

Pulling and tugging in broad daylight, and I even bumped into... ahem, huh? Really? How awful.

"Aren't you good at talking?" Rin Yuchuan quickly wiped away the tears in her eyes as she raised her head, then looked at me. "Now I want you to find my sister as soon as possible. Use your twisted logic or evil words, but bring her back."

"Oh, what are you going to bring it back for?" I asked her deliberately.

"None of your business!"

Oh, the angry and embarrassed Rin Hanekawa is unexpectedly cute.

"I know. I would go even if you didn't tell me."

After I finished speaking, I turned around and suddenly remembered something, so I added:

"After all, it's for the club I like..."

But the sound was so quiet that only I could hear it

Well, for all sorts of things.

Let’s run!
