I have bound two systems.

People are always willing to believe what they believe and the truth.

Isshi Caiyu herself did not realize that she had entered a vicious circle that she could not escape by her own strength.

The scene shifts to another person.

What Kasumigaoka Utaha just showed was not acting, she was really a little scared.

She didn't understand how Isshiki Caiyu suddenly knew what she was about to say.

But it shouldn’t be!

Even if she was aware of the attitude I had shown before, there was no reason for her to be able to see through my thoughts so accurately in an instant, right?

So much for mind reading.

Kasumigaoka Utaha's mood gradually became heavy, and her expression turned into alert. She felt extremely ashamed of her previous complacent mentality of underestimating the enemy.

I originally thought that I could easily control the opponent with my own methods, but I didn't expect that after carefully planning for a long time, the opponent easily revealed all his methods at the last moment.

The situation and identity position changed in an instant.

Judging from Isshiki Caiyu's current expression, it is very likely that she did not realize it just after she said the last sentence, but had been on guard for a long time.

The reason why he had been cooperating with me until now was probably because he had the idea of ​​overturning the table and revealing his cards at the last moment, and then laughing at me like a winner.

In fact, she did!

Just by looking at the slightly upturned corners of Isshiki Caiyu's lips, you can tell how proud she is right now!

Damn it, even Ying Lili doesn't dare to do this to me, how dare you! ?

The anger in her heart has reached its peak, Kasumigaoka Utaha's face is grim, and her thoughts have changed.

Being provoked like this, there is no need to do any more small tricks, just start a war!

However, just as Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had already prepared her words and revealed her usual side, was preparing to launch a sarcastic counterattack against her previous mistake and turn the tables.

Isshiki Caiyu's performance was like rushing in a direction that she had never expected.

Isshi Caiyu put down the teacup in her hand, looked at Kasumigaoka and stood up.

Utaha Kasumigaoka thought that the other party was trying to escalate the verbal conflict into a physical conflict, so she immediately became alert, her mind instantly thinking of countermeasures, and her body unconsciously tensed up.

She was thinking about what her chances of winning would be if a girls' fight really happened between her and Isshi Iroha.

Isshi Iroha walked over, but instead of rushing over and grabbing her hair as she had imagined, she did the worst possible scenario.

Instead, he did not follow the routine. He sat next to her very intimately, holding her free left hand tightly with both of his hands. At the same time, his face moved closer, revealing an extremely sincere expression, as if he was expressing some regret for not meeting her earlier.

"Ms. Kasumigaoka! Although it's hard to explain the specific situation to you, in fact, our situations are extremely similar! We are both victims!"

The situation changed so quickly that Kasumigaoka Utaha was completely stunned at that moment.

She couldn't understand what Isshiki Iroha meant by that.

Why are our situations so similar?

What? We are also victims?

But fortunately, as a well-known and best-selling light novel writer, she has a sharp mind and quick reactions.

She quickly realized that she seemed to have overthought it.

It seemed, as if, probably... Isshiki Iroha was not aware of her true thoughts.

It just so happened that what she said caused him to misunderstand and lead to many stupid associations.

Once you have this most important thing sorted out, everything becomes simpler.

Kasumigaoka Utaha pondered the meaning of the word "victim" from Isshiki Iroha's mouth.

By the way, she also recalled what Chisato Suzumiya had said in front of her and Eriri - "I feel very guilty towards Isshiki."

All these clues, combined with the method he had just intended to use for Isshiki Iroha, and her current reaction...

The answer seems to be gradually emerging.

Qianli seemed to have done something bad to Isshiki Caiyu, so he felt guilty towards her.

However, having just misunderstood once, Kasumigaoka Utaha did not jump to conclusions this time.

The girl in front of me has not yet realized that she has revealed her secret. This is a good opportunity to trick her. I cannot waste it, nor can I change my expression again. If I keep doing this for such a short period of time, it will seem unnatural.

So Kasumigaoka Utaha continued to maintain this expression, and at the same time slowly pulled away the hand that was held by Isshiki Iroha, and replied with a hint of caution,

"How do you know about me?"

This reply was very thoughtful. It confirmed Isshi Iroha's previous guess, while also allowing her to continue to reveal more information that Kasumigaoka herself did not know without showing any emotion.

"It's speculation!"

But in Isshi Iroha's eyes, Kasumigaoka's behavior was quite normal, and it was consistent with her reaction of not wanting others to know her secrets.

She could understand that the other party was wary of her, and now the most effective way to eliminate this communication barrier was undoubtedly sincerity.

But what she experienced was too magical. It always felt hard to be convincing when she talked about it, and the truth was hard to tell.

Therefore, what comes next is a test of one’s eloquence and charm. No matter what, you have to convince the other party of what you say!

"Ms. Kasumigaoka, I know these words may sound strange, but please believe me, I am not lying to you."

Even when Isshiki Caiyu becomes serious, her voice is still very catchy, as crisp as a nightingale. One can also imagine how sweet her voice will soften when she is happy and acting coquettish.

Kasumigaoka Utaha feels that if she were a man, she might not be able to control herself and would naturally develop a liking for her.

If she is like this, let alone Chisato Suzumiya, who is already the representative of a playboy in her heart.

Although Qianli's current attitude shows that she has no interest in Isshi Iroha, who can say for sure whether allowing her to hang around Qianli all the time will lead to any unpredictable consequences?

Such possibilities must be nipped in the bud!

Kasumigaoka knew that this was the most critical moment, so he put all his energy into it.

"what do you want to say in the end?"

"For some reasons I cannot tell you in detail, but I have been deceived and concealed by Chisato Suzumiya to some extent."

Isshi Iroha seemed to have used up all her strength to tell this fact.

"..."

However, Kasumigaoka Utaha's reaction was quite indifferent.

That's it?

You've been laying the groundwork for so long, and all you want to say is what I just speculated?

For some reason I can't go into detail...it must be about that weird dream.

She probably doesn't seem to know that Eriri and I had been through the same situation, so she chose not to explain.

But...deception and concealment...

These two words are so familiar.

Kasumigaoka Utaha instantly recalled her first dream.

It seems that Isshiki Iroha also experienced a story that is very similar to her own to some extent.

But...looking at the surprised attitude she showed when she first met Qianli, she wanted to wrap herself up and give herself to him.

It's completely different from how she behaves now.

It seems that her situation may be much more complicated than mine.

However, the situation is now much clearer than before.

The only thing that is unclear now is the purpose of the colorful feathers.

This is easy to handle. She has already opened her heart to this extent, and all we need next is a little guidance.

"What do you want to do by telling me this?"

"I want to help you!"

Isshi Iroha answered almost immediately.

She did not hesitate to express her initial thoughts.

"Regarding you, Ms. Kasumigaoka, and Ms. Sawamura, I want to help you get away from that bad guy, Chisato Suzumiya!"

"..."

A thousand miles away?

Do you want to listen to what you are saying?

Kasumigaoka Utaha raised the corner of her eye.

For a moment she couldn't tell whether the lovely girl in front of her really intended to do this or whether this was a plan she had deliberately implemented.

As for the purpose, it is naturally that after solving the problem between her and Eriri, she can naturally take the lead.

After a careful look, Kasumigaoka Utaha felt that the other party seemed to really belong to the former.

Isshi Iroha really seems to think Chisato is a bad guy.

What did Qianli do to this child in the dream?

Kasumigaoka Utaha found it increasingly difficult to understand, and also increasingly curious.

Chapter 6.2 The Starting Point of Dating (k)

"Sorry, sorry, I ran into an acquaintance on the way, so we chatted for a while, which delayed me a bit."

Isshi Iroha returned to Yukinoshita's apartment and explained why it took her so long to buy the ice cream. She took out the ice cream from the bag and shared it with Yukinoshita Yukino and Yuigahama Yui.

The ice cream has been left outside for a long time and has melted a little.

Fortunately, all the ones purchased by Isshiki Caiyu were boxed, so it wasn't too troublesome to eat them with the small spoon that came with them.

The three of them sat on the sofa together and ate ice cream. During the time, Isshiki Caiyu's toes swayed gently back and forth, accompanied by a soft hum in a good mood.

She seemed to be in a much better mood than before she left.

The reason behind this is, of course, self-evident.

The acquaintance she just mentioned was obviously the neighbor next door.

Yukinoshita Yukino sighed helplessly.

The power of love is really great. No, there are so many girls around that neighbor. This situation cannot be called love at all. Strictly speaking, it is an incorrect and extremely distorted relationship.

But Isshiki is willing to maintain this kind of relationship intentionally, and seems to want to take it a step further.

Hiratsuka-sensei's mission is to keep an eye on Isshiki-san and report to her anytime if anything seems amiss.

And what Isshiki is doing now, knowing that the other party has many female friends with whom he has ambiguous relationships, but still trying to get close to him, can his behavior meet the reporting standards?

Yukinoshita Yukino gently bit the popsicle stick, leaving neat teeth marks on it.

She finally decided to observe for a while. After all, from what she had seen so far, the relationship between Isshiki and her neighbor did not seem to be anywhere near worrying, so there was no need to report it specifically.

"By the way, tomorrow I have something to do and I have to go out all day."

Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly told the two of them about her schedule, implying that Yuigahama Yui and Isshi Iroha didn't need to come over tomorrow.

This is a trivial matter. Everyone has their own things to do. It is impossible to always stay at home and help classmates improve their academic ability for free.

Isshi Ishiba could understand this, and she wasn't upset that her natural excuse to get closer to Suzumiya Chisato had disappeared.

After all, she had just officially exchanged contact information with Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Later, through her who was also a victim, he could obtain various information about Chisato Suzumiya more easily and directly, which was much easier than trying to get information from the person involved.

"The weather has been very hot recently, and the sun outside is very strong. Where are you going, Yukino?"

Yuigahama Yui asked curiously.

"Marine life exhibition."

Yukinoshita Yukino answered briefly and shocked everyone. She opened the drawer under the coffee table and pulled out a promotional poster.

"I saw a promotional picture someone handed me at the station. After I got home, I looked it up online. I found out that this exhibition not only allows us to see a variety of marine life, but also has additional pavilions for related product suppliers to set up and promote and sell various supporting facilities and fish life."

Yuigahama's eyes lit up.
