I have bound two systems.

What's more, if she really called directly, there was no telling how Touma and Sa would react, and there was also the risk of Chisato knowing her plan.

So she gave up her original plan and resorted to this stupid method which was a bit troublesome but unavoidable.

From what we learned from Chisato, we learned that Touma Kazusa's mother is in hospital. It's not serious and she should be discharged in a few days.

This means that Touma Kazusa herself might have to stay in the hospital for a few more days.

Taking this into consideration, Kasumigaoka Utaha did not take any action from last Monday until the weekend, and only officially came to this cafe on Monday this week.

She and Eriri had followed Chisato and Touma Kazusa before and knew where her home was.

The cafe where Kasumigaoka is currently staying is located on the route that Touma and Saya must take to get to the train station. She will pass by here whenever she goes to school.

She sat by the window and could clearly see the people coming and going on the street.

Although she was reluctant to admit it, Touma and Saki stood out in the crowd because of their outstanding looks and tall figures. As long as she passed by the window, Kasumigaoka felt that there was no reason for her to miss her.

By then, she would be able to walk out of the cafe and call out to Touma Kazusa and talk to her as planned, and as Eriri said, show her strength and make her retreat.

However, after waiting here for three days, Kasumigaoka Utaha still hasn't seen Touma and Sa.

In the past few days, because she had to wait here until after eight o'clock every day, she would not enter the classroom until the first class was over.

Didn't Qianli say that her mother was not seriously ill? If she was not seriously ill, did she need to stay in the hospital for so long?

Kasumigaoka Utaha drank her coffee, thinking about these things with some annoyance.

It might be a little late to say this now, but she always felt that she was being used as a gun by Eriri.

Complimenting her figure and her temperament, she said that only she could surpass Touma Kazusa and she was totally incomparable...

The more I think about the words that came out of her mouth, the more suspicious they become.

Even if she said she owed me a favor, who knows when she would fulfill her promise.

As expected, I was fooled...

She let herself come to test him, but she could sit back and wait for him to share the information with her after she finished, without any pressure or risk at all.

That guy, has he become smarter recently?

"Tsk!"

The more I think about being taken advantage of, the more upset I feel.

However, according to Kasumigaoka Utaha's style, since she has already agreed, there is no reason to give up halfway.

It's already half past seven. As usual, I'll have to wait for another half an hour or so. If I still don't see Touma Kazusa, then maybe she hasn't returned from the hospital yet, or maybe she doesn't want to go to school because of Chisato. If it's the latter case, then I may have to go to her in person.

But if I do that, I might run into her mother, and then things would become more complicated...

The troubles that Kasumigaoka Utaha was thinking about suddenly stopped. She put down her coffee, opened her eyes slightly, and took a shallow breath.

The person she had been waiting for these days finally appeared in her sight.

Looking at the figure of Touma Kazusa, Kasumigaoka Utaha was a little nervous, but in the past few days, she had rehearsed in her mind countless times what she would say when she met her, so everything was fully prepared, and there was nothing to worry about.

Kasumigaoka Utaha stood up and walked out of the cafe with quite steady steps.

When they walked out of the cafe, Touma Kazusa had already passed the door of the cafe, and Kasumigaoka Utaha had to jog a few steps to catch up with her.

"Sorry to bother you."

Hearing the greeting, Touma Hesa ​​turned her head subconsciously, and her eyes met the girl not far behind her.

She narrowed her long, sharp eyes and asked doubtfully,

"Are you calling me?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha touched her hair and nodded with a smile.

"Yes, Touma Kazusa-san, I hope I can take up some of your time. There are things I want to talk to you about."

Touma Hesa ​​stared at her intently, as if she had thought of something, but she was still not sure since the other party did not say it directly.

"Do... do we know each other?"

"I'm sorry for the intrusion. I forgot to introduce myself."

Kasumigaoka Utaha bowed politely.

"My name is Kasumigaoka Utaha, and I'm Suzumiya Chisato's girlfriend."

………………

Chapter 276 Isn't it the same one?

The waiter in the cafe was wiping the table with a rag and looked like he was working seriously, but his attention was all on the two girls sitting opposite each other by the window.

He remembered the girl with a white headband and black tights. She came here at the same time for several days in a row, simply ordered a cup of coffee, sat in her seat and looked out the window in a trance, and then got up and left at around eight o'clock.

From the school uniform she wore and the backpack she carried, it was clear that she was a high school student, but her behavior, which had remained largely the same every day for the past few days, was quite puzzling.

And this doubt was finally answered today.

Opposite the guest who looked very elegant and calm sat a girl who looked quite cold and not easy to mess with.

The reason why the clerk had such a feeling was that the new customer had been looking at him with a murderous and hostile gaze since he sat down.

That’s right, Touma Kazusa is indeed in a bad mood now, and her eyes are sharper than usual.

She had been distressed and worried about Chisato Suzumiya for so long. Today, under her mother's guidance, she finally made up her mind to go to school and have a good talk with him face to face.

As for what to talk about, she had already thought about it while walking on the road.

She wanted to ask him how far he had progressed with his so-called other partner, and based on his answer, she would consider what to say next.

Ask him whether he is willing to break up with that guy, whether he is willing to start over with me... and so on.

Yes, after hearing what her mother said, when she thought that after her relationship with Chisato ended, she would follow her mother to settle in Vienna, and perhaps they would never have any contact again from then on, and would be separated from each other, Touma Hesa ​​felt as if something was grabbing her heart, and she was in so much pain that she couldn't breathe.

She couldn't lie to her own heart. Even though she knew she was betrayed and deceived by her boyfriend, she still couldn't let him go completely.

He was not only the prince who pulled her out of the narrow cave where she was alone and made her feel the warmth and comfort of the world again, but also the benefactor who saved his mother from life-threatening danger.

The combination of these two factors made it impossible for her to forget him.

Kazusa, who yearns for love so much, also found an excuse for Chisato Suzumiya's deception and concealment.

Maybe he acted like this because he was bewitched by a bad woman. It didn't matter, everyone made mistakes. As long as he promised that he would not make such mistakes again, it would be fine for her to forgive him.

While walking on the road, Touma Hesa, who was probably thinking of this, was suddenly stopped.

Looking back, she saw that it was a girl of the same age as her, a girl whose beauty could not be ignored even from a female perspective.

And she spoke softly, saying that she was Chisato Suzumiya's girlfriend.

Touma Kazusa was stunned for a moment, she had forgotten what kind of mood she was in. Facing her active invitation, she nodded and agreed. After that, she followed her to the cafe and sat down here.

This extremely delicate and extremely terrible situation made Touma Kazusa speechless for a moment, and she didn't know what to say.

However, whether it was Kasumigaoka Utaha who came to the door on her own initiative with a certain purpose, or Touma Kazusa who was planning to pull her boyfriend back from the "bad woman", it was impossible for them to just sit here motionless, looking at each other quietly.

Therefore, after the waiter brought the coffee, Touma Kazusa finally took the initiative to speak.

"What do you want from me?"

This is a very normal way to start a conversation. The other party has just revealed his identity by taking the initiative to talk to her on the street, so Hesha would naturally want to know the other party's purpose in approaching her.

Kasumigaoka Utaha answered truthfully,

"I want to talk to you about Qianli's matter."

To be honest, Touma Hesa ​​was quite disgusted when she heard her boyfriend's name from the girl opposite her. She tried to control her expression, but she was not good at hiding her expression, so her face still darkened.

Seeing her like this, Kasumigaoka smiled with relief in his heart.

She finally found the long-lost feeling of having enough space, knowing that she was in control of the situation, not someone else.

Although this girl in front of me seems to be very austere and difficult to communicate with from a distance, after actually getting to know her, I realized that although communication with her is indeed not easy, her facial expressions are really easy to understand.

The difficulty has been reduced to this level, so I will definitely gain the expected advantage today.

"…Did he ask you to come to me?"

After thinking silently for a while, Touma and Sa asked again.

Kasumigaoka Utaha shook her head.

"No, he doesn't know. I came to you for my own reasons, Touma-san."

Regarding this point, Kasumigaoka didn't intend to play any tricks and chose to tell the truth.

Although lying could mislead the other party and further worsen her feelings towards Qianli, Kasumigaoka felt that she did not need to use such despicable means to achieve the result she wanted.

Besides, if she lied like that and Qianli found out about it, he would undoubtedly hate her, so she would never do such a thing.

I can't let Touma and Sa ask questions unilaterally all the time. Now that I have made my purpose clear, it's time for me to take the lead in the direction of the conversation.

I don’t know how honest Qianli has been with her, but in short, don’t be in a hurry and start testing slowly.

"I knew about your existence a long time ago, Touma Kazusa-san, and through some of my own methods, I found out that this is the only way you have to go to school every day. Starting from Monday this week, I have been waiting for you here for three days."

After saying this leisurely, Kasumigaoka Utaha picked up her coffee and took a sip.

"You said you knew about my existence before...what do you mean?"

Touma Hesa's eyes became confused. She had been trying to control her emotions, but now she was unable to suppress them.

Ah, Qianli’s explanation to her did not mention this matter.

Seeing this, Kasumigaoka Utaha had a new idea in mind.

"That's what it means. Before you, Touma-san, know about our existence."

She pointed at herself, then pointed at the other person.

"We already know of your existence."

Kasumigaoka Utaha has her own standard in her heart for what to say and what not to say.

Just like what she said now based on facts, it doesn't matter if she said it. Even if she didn't say it, Qianli would tell her sooner or later.

What surprised Kasumigaoka Utaha was that after she said this, Touma Kazusa's pupils suddenly dilated.

As she slammed her hands on the table and suddenly stood up, the originally peaceful chat atmosphere between the two of them was instantly broken.

"Hey, what did you mean by... 'we'?"

An extremely terrifying scenario might have emerged in Touma Hesa's mind, and she was so frightened by it that her voice trembled when she asked.

Didn't Qianli even explain the situation clearly at that time?

Kasumigaoka Utaha was a little surprised, but even so, this development was still within her ability to cope with.

However, the words she had originally prepared might have to change because of this discovery.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know Qianli hadn't made this clear to you yet..."

Kasumigaoka's calm attitude made Touma Kazusa feel inexplicably angry, but even so, she forced herself to stay calm and listen to what the other person had to say.

"Actually, besides you and me, there is another... no, I should say there are two other girls who are in the same relationship with him."

She paused halfway, thought about it and decided to include Goto Ichiri.

Touma Kazusa's lips trembled as she confirmed once more.

"The relationship you are talking about... is..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha showed a smile as delicate and sharp as a pair of diamond-studded scissors, telling her the cold truth.

"Of course we are dating."

Touma Hesa ​​was in a trance for a moment, and sat down with a dull expression, her eyes dark and lifeless.

She never imagined that her boyfriend had previously confessed to her that the so-called "dating partner" was actually far more than one person.

In addition to myself, there are actually three other people...

"..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha's original idea was to continue to press on and tell the other party the fact that she and Eriri were already living together with Chisato, and to what extent their relationship had progressed.

But looking at the other person's expression, she couldn't bear to continue talking.

At the same time, she felt a sense of déjà vu that she had never expected.

At this moment, she seemed like the small-time female villain in those romance novels who prevented the hero and heroine from getting together. She always felt that she would end up with a miserable ending in the end.
