A world only known by the God of Lost Love

Ren Suzuki took a long breath and said with a wry smile:

"After hearing this... even you, Goto, will probably be disillusioned with me."

Although it was not his intention, he was indeed a man who almost "killed" his ex-girlfriend.

Moreover, the naivety and arrogance he showed in this incident are enough to make people hate him...

But even so, he still wanted Goto Ichiri to see this clearly.

He didn't want this girl with a similar personality to Hiiragi to experience something like this again.

At the same time, he doesn't want her to fall in love with him because of similar experiences.

He did want to "defeat" Goto Ichiri, but... that was to do so in a more sound and safe way.

"But...as I said, these are things in the past. Now I will no longer misunderstand 'sense of achievement' as 'good impression', and I will no longer influence other people's lives by talking to myself. . You should have felt this, right? So, you don’t have to be afraid of me... I can assure you that I, Ren Suzuki, will never do anything to hurt you at any time—"

"...Eh? Please wait a moment, Suzuki-san!"

As a result, before Suzuki Ren could finish speaking, Goto Kazuri suddenly interrupted him.

"You, your words and tone are so strange, it's like I will be wary of you immediately after hearing this..."

Goto Ichiri said with a confused look:

"And what you just said...disillusionment? Why would I be disillusioned with you?"

"Eh?"

This time it was Suzuki Ren's turn to show a surprised expression.

"You, after hearing this...haven't you ever thought...that I am a very dangerous person?"

"Huh?! No matter how you look at it, the dangerous person is Miss Hiiragi, right?"

Goto Ichiri frowned and said:

"Although I can understand that she was in pain and sadness at the time, using this method to escape the pain is too extreme no matter how you think about it?! And in the final analysis, the things between you are not entirely due to the superposition of various misunderstandings. What? You misunderstood your feelings and confessed to her, and she accepted the misunderstanding and became a lover with you. As for the breakup, it was also caused by a series of misunderstandings caused by her failure to explain the reason for the quarrel. As a result...in the final analysis, neither of you had any intention of harming the other, right?"

"This, this..."

"Although the final result is indeed tragic, in my opinion, this is really just a failed puppy love... As for disillusionment, there is no such thing as disillusionment. Because of everything you did to me, Suzuki-san... They were absolutely considerate and caring without any misunderstanding on my part.”

Having said this, Goto raised his head, and his gorgeous sapphire eyes were revealed from the gap in his bangs.

"And I know very well that Suzuki-san this time... did not misunderstand my feelings because of my dependence on you. Therefore, the situation between me and Miss Hiiragi is completely different."

"..."

After hearing these words, Suzuki Ren's heart suddenly tightened.

He originally thought that his behavior all along was enough to cause her to misunderstand, but... the other party's level of sobriety was completely beyond Suzuki Ren's imagination.

If that's the case, then his "ulterior motives" for approaching Ichiri Goto... wouldn't it have been noticed by her herself a long time ago?

"Also, although I am not [-]% sure...but I think...Miss Hiiragi may not only have painful memories when she is with you."

As Goto Ichiri spoke, he came to Suzuki Ren's side and looked at the place where Hiiragi jumped that he had just pointed out.

"Otherwise, breaking up would be a simple relief for her, rather than the pain that she would want to escape in this way... What do you think, Suzuki-san?"

“……………………”

Suzuki Ren was silent for a while, then shook her head.

"I don't know... At this point, I am no longer qualified to judge everything related to her."

"Well... that's fine. Not thinking about these things is proof that Suzuki-san has put his mind to it."

In summer in Kyoto, there is no breeze strong enough to dissipate the heat.

On the streets during the off-season, there was no noise that would make them hear each other's voices.

So of course, Suzuki Ren heard what Goto Kazuri said to him very clearly:

"If I fall out of love, I will probably keep the pain in my heart and then write a song."

Leaning on the guardrail of the overpass, Ichiri Goto stared at the occasional passing cars below, showing a reassuring and charming smile.

"It's really not rock 'n' roll to jump from here or something."

"……makes sense."

This girl who shines whenever she picks up a guitar is not fragile enough for him to worry about.

“Rather than jumping from here, it’s easier for me to imagine Goto jumping to the audience after the live.”

"Ah! This is also the scene I have always dreamed of! When the band ends and the band becomes popular, I will definitely try 'diving'!"

"It might fall to the ground."

"Uh... Then please Suzuki-kun, please try your best to catch me when the time comes!"

"..."

After hearing this, Suzuki Ren was silent for a moment, then looked away and said in a slightly dry voice:

"As long as... I'm still there."

The ease of expressing one's feelings was intertwined with the sin of telling lies, making Ren Suzuki not sure what expression to show.

But no matter what, it was time for him and Gotou Kazuri to head to their next stop today——

It's sunny and windless in Kyoto today.

Chapter 70: Hotels near universities are always very popular

Because it is the weekend, there are still many tourists and pedestrians on the streets around the scenic spots.

However, under the leadership of Suzuki Ren, the two of them still avoided the most crowded places and successfully arrived at Suzuki Ren's destination——

"...It's been rented out."

Looking at an apartment with a strange surname on it, Ren Suzuki showed an expected expression:

"But think about it, it's very close to schools and attractions, so it wouldn't be surprising if it was rented by someone else."

"Well?"

After hearing this, Goto Ichiri looked at the very ordinary apartment building in front of him with a confused look.

"Does this place have any special meaning to Suzuki-san?"

"Um... how do you say it?"

Ren Suzuki thought for a moment, and then gave a half-truth answer:

"This is where I used to live."

Since this was where he lived during high school and college, it really wasn't a complete lie.

After hearing this, Goto Ichisato naturally regarded it as Suzuki Ren's address when he was in junior high school or elementary school.

"So, Suzuki-san is here... just to confirm whether this apartment has been rented out?"

"...Well, you can put it that way."

After learning that the restaurant owner was exactly the same as in his memory, the second thing Suzuki Ren wanted to confirm was whether the apartment that had been used to facilitate his studies would still be rented.

If the apartment still belongs to him, then the place where he and Ichiri Goto will stay at night can be decided.

And if the situation is like this, then Suzuki Ren will need to find another place to stay——

"There is a hotel near Kyoto University that I am familiar with. Let's go and book a room for tonight."

Ren Suzuki said calmly:

"If you go too late, there's a good chance that all the rooms will be taken over by nearby college students."

After hearing this, Goto Ichiri asked curiously:

"Eh? If you're a college student...would you go to a hotel to stay on weekends?"

"It's true that single college students wouldn't do this, but...that's not necessarily the case for college student couples."

Under Goto Isato's confused gaze, Suzuki Ren looked away slightly.

"By the way, after arriving at the hotel, we will also have regular contact with your parents."

"Yeah! That's right."

Goto Kazuri, who was completely unable to understand the implication of Suzuki Ren's words, only listened to the second half of the sentence.

"Then let's go."

"Well, let's go."

Ren Suzuki took one last look back at the house that had been rented out, then weighed the backpack on his shoulders and set off towards the hotel he mentioned with Kazuri Goto...

........................

Because the location is so popular, and the health and safety environment of this hotel is very reliable, the price of even the most ordinary standard room is close to [-] yuan.

Fortunately, Suzuki Ren's salary has been well saved, and it can be said that it is no problem to pay for one night's room.

At the same time, Goto Kazuri was looking at the price list posted on the wall while secretly lamenting the consumption level of this "adult occasion".

While Goto Kazuri was still looking around at the front desk in surprise, Ren Suzuki had already started negotiating with the front desk staff——

"Is there any room available in the standard room now?"

"Please wait a moment, let me take a look... Ah, there is just one room left. Do you want to check in directly?"

"…………"

(It’s only three o’clock in the afternoon, is the room already so tense? Just stop it, you over-energetic college students!)

After secretly complaining about this, Suzuki Ren still nodded with a smile.

"Well, we need to check in."

"Okay, then I'll do it for you... Are you a student of Kyoto University?"

"Yes, here is my student ID card...Ah, I'm sorry, I seem to have accidentally left my student ID card at school...Can you temporarily use my student ID number to replace the certificate?"

"Ah, no, no, no. Just leave your mobile phone number."

Probably because Suzuki Ren's answer was so familiar, the experienced front desk staff did not doubt his identity at all, and naturally regarded him as the same type of person as those common college students who forget to bring their identification documents.

On the other side, seeing Suzuki Ren's unfazed expression, Goto Kazuri was so shocked that he couldn't even close his mouth.

"Um...Suzuki-kun?"

Goto Ichiri lay next to Suzuki Ren's ear and whispered to him:

"As for identification, my mother prepared one for me, so even if I don't have to lie..."

"Don't worry, it's okay."

Renya Suzuki whispered in Goto Ichiri's ear and replied:

"He has completely believed what I just said, and there will be a discount for students to stay. In short, let's just get over it."

"Hey...hey, is this really okay?"

"Don't worry, it's absolutely fine."

After all, Ren Suzuki himself has had many experiences of staying directly, so he can be said to be quite confident about the laxity of this hotel.Not only that, the front desk clerk today happened to be the one who repeatedly relaxed the processing conditions.

So, relying on his rich experience in fooling around, Ren Suzuki successfully checked into this room——

"Then, here are your room cards, please keep them."

"Well, hard work."

After taking the room card, Ren Suzuki turned directly and walked towards the elevator next to her.

In order not to expose her guilty conscience, Goto Kazuri followed him closely and tried her best to prevent others from seeing her face.

After the two of them entered the elevator, the front desk staff showed a rather surprised expression.

"College students these days take really good care of their skin."

From this point of view, there is indeed a certain reason why some people still fail to get promoted after working as front desk waiters for so many years.
