I have bound two systems.

"Did Isshiki misunderstand something?"

The other party nodded vigorously in response.

"That day, Isshiki asked me to go to the place where you, Suzumiya, were working, and I happened to see you and Xiaoxue on the way..."

Yuigahama Yui glanced at Yukinoshita Yukino and stopped talking, but emphasized her position.

"But I absolutely believe that Xiaoxue would not have anything to do with you, Suzumiya-san. After all, you were just sitting together at the time, and there was no contact at all. It was Isshiki who...how should I put it, she cared too much, so she was a little worried."

Her last words were said very tactfully, but Suzumiya Chisato could roughly understand what she meant.

Judging from their reactions just now, the situation does not seem optimistic.

"So that means Isshiki and Yukinoshita...are having a conflict?"

"kindness."

Yuigahama Yui looked at Yukinoshita who closed her eyes and sighed slightly, and nodded.

"But it's not a big deal. Don't worry. I'll explain it properly. I'll go get you some tea."

The next moment, Yukinoshita Yukino got up and left the living room.

After she left, Yuigahama Yui probably found out after trying to get in touch with her that Chisato Suzumiya was not as difficult to approach as she had thought, so she mustered up some courage and approached Chisato Suzumiya a little, and whispered,

"Um... Suzumiya-san, the situation is not as simple as Xiaoxue said."

"How to say?"

"In fact, Isshiki was also surprised at first and asked Xiaoxue for confirmation, but Xiaoxue's answer was that she had no comment and only said that the two of you met for a necessary reason. Isshiki couldn't accept this statement at all, so the relationship between the two of them now... well... you understand, right?"

"Yes, I roughly understand. Let me ask you one more thing. When did Yukinoshita know about this?"

"I told her three days ago."

I see……

No wonder she looked so worried these times. It turned out that in addition to her own situation, there were other things that bothered her.

"Suzumiya-san, although it may be a bit presumptuous, since Xiaoxue has her own reasons for not wanting to explain the truth, I don't want to force her... But if it is convenient for you, you can explain it clearly to Isshiki, and perhaps their relationship can be restored to what it was before."

After hesitating for a while, Yuigahama Yui still made her request.

In the final analysis, all of this is ultimately caused by oneself.

"I understand. I'll take care of it."

Chisato Suzumiya nodded without any hesitation.

"Thank you!"

When Yukinoshita Yukino returned to the living room with hot tea, Yuigahama Yui smiled happily, as if relieved from a heavy burden.

Chapter 42: Poor Yise

What happened between him and Yukinoshita recently was not discovered by Eriri and Shiwa, who were closest to him, but was seen by Isshiki.

Chisato Suzumiya was in a somewhat subtle mood, and he was belatedly aware of some subtle unnatural aspects of life.

No wonder, in recent times, Isise no longer chats with herself on LINE as frequently as before, and posts those carefully edited life photos and interesting photos of herself to highlight her presence.

It turned out that he had witnessed the meeting between him and Yukinoshita, which led to the misunderstanding.

Isshiki must be in a very bad mood right now. In many ways, after a girl has clearly expressed her love for a boy, if her friends take action first, then the feeling of being "betrayed" by the person she trusted is definitely very unpleasant.

People with extreme mental states may develop extreme plots as a result of this.

Although the actual situation is not so, based on the information obtained from Yuigahama Yui, Isshiki must have inevitably thought in that direction and got stuck in a dead end.

In general, it is not too difficult to make Isshiki believe that nothing happened between them without exposing the true situation of Yukinoshita Yukino.

There is no other way, just make up a reason and get away with it.

It's just that Suzumiya Chisato always feels guilty. It's bad enough that she tricked Isshiki into that state in the Sims, but in the end she still has to do the same in real life.

Although this is essentially to avoid causing more trouble, it cannot escape the essence of lies.

She repeatedly emphasized in her mind that this was all for the friendship between her and Yukinoshita Yukino, and the slightly uneasy feeling gradually dissipated.

There's no other way but to do it, right?

After staying at the Yukinoshita family for about half an hour, seeing that the time was almost up, Suzumiya Chisato stood up and said goodbye.

Yukinoshita Yukino did not try to persuade him to stay. She stood up with him and followed him to the entrance. After watching him put on his shoes and leave, she gently closed the door and returned to the living room.

This action was actually a completely subconscious one. Since Yukinoshita Yukino had been repeating the same process every day during this period of time, she herself did not think there was anything wrong with it.

But it was not until she saw Yuigahama Yui's hesitant eyes and her slightly flushed face that she suddenly realized something was wrong.

From the perspective of her friends, the interaction between her and Chisato Suzumiya just now seemed a little too natural, even too natural.

Come to think of it, until now I have not explained why I suddenly became familiar with Suzumiya Chisato.

Yuigahama Yui is a gentle person. She didn't ask explicitly, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have such doubts in her heart.

The fact that she secretly informed Isshiki of the situation on his side was enough to show how much she valued friendship.

Seeing her like this, Yukinoshita Yukino slowly shifted her gaze away, put her left hand on her right arm, and trembled as if she wanted to say something but stopped. She was in a state of anxiety and urgency, but didn't know what to do.

"It's…it's okay, Xiaoxue!"

Yuigahama Yui keenly noticed her friend's dilemma. She was sensitive and always showed her considerate side when dealing with interpersonal relationships. She didn't want to make Yukinoshita feel embarrassed because of her own reasons.

"You don't have to explain anything to me. I will always believe in you. You will never do anything to hurt Isshiki! That's enough for me to know, right?"

The two consecutive questions were not so much inquiries to Yukinoshita as they were facts that Yuigahama Yui sincerely hoped for.

Finally, what made Yuigahama feel relieved was that Yukinoshita nodded slowly and firmly under her gaze.

"Of course, there is no doubt about that."

"Well, that's enough, then."

Yuigahama Yui chuckled, and the next moment she reached out her hands and hugged Yukinoshita tightly.

"That... you hugged me too tightly..."

"Hey, Xiaoxue smells so good."

"I said..."

----

"Sure enough, it's still a lot of inconvenience without you around."

Chisato Suzumiya walked out of the apartment building and raised his head to look upward. Not long after, a pair of pitch-black wings came from the sky, flapping its wings and landed on his shoulders.

During the time it lived at Kazusa's house, the Dark Wing quickly became close to her, to the point that most of the time it didn't follow her around but stayed with Kazusa. Otherwise, if Isshiki had witnessed what happened to Yukinoshita in the library, it would have definitely reminded her.

But now that I've heard this from Yuigahama Yui, it's not too late.

He had already thought of a reason that would convince Isshiki the moment he stepped out of Yukinoshita's house.

The key point now is how to explain it naturally to Isiseki.

Yuigahama Yui came secretly to Yukinoshita Yukino to explain the situation without Isshiki's knowledge. Unlike boys, the relationships between girls are delicate and sensitive. Four people live in a female dormitory in college but there can be as many as eight or nine people in a group chat. This is definitely not a joke, but a real thing.

Therefore, the best scenario would be to pretend that I had noticed something without revealing that I had learned this information from Yuigahama Yui, let Isshiki tell the truth herself, and then I would speak up to dispel her preconceived misunderstandings.

Chisato Suzumiya closed her eyes and tapped her forehead lightly with her right fist.

I always feel that it’s troublesome just thinking about it.

There is no other way. Don't take it off. Try to finish it today, so that Isshiki's mood can brighten up sooner, and Yukinoshita can stop being in a state where she is worried and sighs from time to time.

He thought for a moment, then sent a message to Goto Ichiri, explaining that he had something urgent to deal with and would be late today.

Then he opened LINE again, found Isshiki Iroha's avatar, clicked on it, sent a question mark, and then typed in some text and sent it directly.

While waiting for the other party to reply, he walked into a milk tea shop on the roadside.

He seldom visits the milk tea shop, and Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha are quite indifferent to this. However, Ischi Iroha, who looks like a real soft girl, is quite fond of it, so this can be considered as giving him what he wants.

----

Isshi Iroha was lying on her bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, with her legs leaning against the wall at a 90-degree angle upwards.

Internet fitness bloggers say that this method can help slim down your legs.

Although there is no clear scientific basis, but looking at the over a thousand likes and hearts under the video, Isshi Caiyu thought there would be no harm in giving it a try. What if it works, right?

To be honest, Isshiki Caiyu has not been in a good mood recently.

She had planned everything long before the end of last semester.

After the summer vacation officially arrives, while I have time and Chisato Suzumiya also has time, I must find the right opportunity to bring my relationship with him closer.

She even made a schedule for it.

On August 3rd, I asked him to go to the night market, on the 10th, we went to the beach, in the middle of the month, we went to the summer festival, and in the second half of the month, we could go to the amusement park...

In short, the plan was full, but when summer vacation began, no activity was implemented.

It’s not that Suzumiya Chisato chose to refuse, but Isshi Iroha herself was extremely surprised and angry after witnessing certain situations and was in a state of panic.

That’s right, it was the senior Yukinoshita who usually appeared very cool and had excellent character and academic performance, and who once made her feel very respected.

Isshi Iroha remembered it clearly.

Before, every time I talked about Chisato Suzumiya, she would show helplessness, contempt, sighs and other unpleasant reactions.

In addition, whenever he implicitly asked her and senior Yuigahama for methods and strategies to get close to Chisato Suzumiya, she would not immediately give her own corresponding plan, but would choose to persuade her first, trying to make her change her mind.

At that time, Isshiki Iroha was still touched, thinking that Yukinoshita Yukino would consider various things for her. Although she would not listen to the other party's opinions, it did not prevent her from feeling grateful to Yukinoshita Yukino.

But that day, when Kitazawa saw her and Suzumiya Chisato sitting at the same table, and they were talking to each other with smiles on their faces, Isshi Iroha rubbed her eyes repeatedly to make sure she was not seeing things, and then she fell into a daze.

She told her best friend that she had taken a fancy to a man and was pursuing him, hoping to get some advice.

However, the best sister kept saying bad things about the man and tried to persuade her to cancel the plan.

As a result, while I was hesitating, my best sister secretly rolled up her sleeves and went straight in.

Although the above description is not so appropriate in many details, Isshiki Caiyu, who witnessed the scene of the two meeting for the first time that day, indeed had such thoughts in his mind.

What Yuigahama Yui didn't know was that in the next few days, Isshi Iroha had been secretly observing Yukinoshita Yukino in the dark.

Also during those few days, he secretly followed Yukinoshita Yukino after school, and without a doubt witnessed her meetings with Suzumiya Chisato several more times.

If one incident was a coincidence, maybe I was wrong and there was some other hidden story.

If the same situation keeps happening for so many days, people will have to think more about it.

A date... No, it would be more appropriate to say a tryst.

Isshi Caiyu, who was observing from the dark with gritted teeth, did not see the two of them having any explicit intimate contact, but she saw it clearly.

Yukinoshita Yukino, who always has a cold face at school and is called the "Ice Queen" by some middle school boys, has been showing a faint smile on her face frequently since she met Chisato Suzumiya in the library.

The same is true for Chisato Suzumiya.

At this point, the situation is quite clear, isn't it?

Isshi Caiyu's mood hit rock bottom.

She thought about questioning Yukinoshita Yukino with full force, pointing at her nose and saying some excessive words to her face to vent her anger.

But when she thought about what Yuigahama Yui once said about the other party's experience in practicing Aikido, she lost her temper and tried hard to put such thoughts out of her mind.

As for questioning Suzumiya Chisato...

Isshi Caiyu felt that she didn't seem to be qualified.

That's true. She and he have never been in a relationship like a couple. They can barely be called senior and junior. They have experienced some incredible things together and can be considered friends, but that's probably where their relationship ends.

But can a relationship like that of friends control each other’s emotional life?

What necessary reason did he have to explain to himself what he had done?

During the period from the end of the semester to the beginning of summer vacation, Isshi Caiyu stayed at home and did not go out, thinking a lot in her mind.

I often tossed and turned at night, unable to sleep. Many times, I opened the LINE interface and looked at the chat records between me and Chisato Suzumiya from long ago. I just stared at it blankly, wanting to talk to him, but in the end I had to endure it.

In fact, Isshiki Caiyu had realized some things a long time ago, but she just didn't want to admit it deep down in her heart.

To Chisato Suzumiya, I am actually just an insignificant existence.
