If you can't learn, then just fall in love

Because of this, she and I became Xiao Qingkong's shackles.

Chapter 111 Meeting, Acquaintance and Knowing Each Other

Qingkong is very clear that it is impossible to form a complete picture if a few pieces of the puzzle are missing.

But even so, he wanted to find traces of Mitsuha Miyamizu's existence.

Maybe I really am not mentally normal, Hanyu Aozora thought.

"Qingkong, let me ask you again, you didn't force yourself, did you?" Miyamizu Mitsuha bit her fork nervously, "It doesn't matter even if you have no memory of me."

It's not impossible for me to regard my feelings for you as love at first sight, Mitsuha Miyamizu thinks so.

Qingkong shook his head, "It's okay. After all, it's my memory that's the problem. There's nothing wrong with wanting to understand. Don't worry."

Believing that Qingkong was not forcing herself, Sanye hummed and continued to eat her cake.

"Did Senior return to Tokyo yesterday?"

"Well, I came back early because I wanted to settle accounts with you." The rich aroma of cherry wine in the Black Forest cake made Sanye narrow her eyes happily and joked with Qingkong, "After all, to a certain extent, it was me who made you drink the wine. If we didn't collude with each other, it would be illegal."

"..." Looking helplessly at Sanye, Qingkong sighed, "It's not a question of collusion or not. As long as you drink it, it's illegal, okay?"

Hearing this, Sanye raised her finger and shook it, with a serious face, "It's not illegal if you don't get caught~"

"That's really realistic." Qingkong, who has ridden a bicycle to lead people more than once, agrees with this view. "Since you came back yesterday, why don't you consider going to the wedding dress exhibition?"

Mitsuha tilted her head, "I've given you the tickets, how am I supposed to go?"

Qingkong was left speechless by this reason and blinked embarrassedly.

Seeing his embarrassed look, Sanye burst out laughing, "I'm just kidding~ I've been there before, and the person I went with was my sister, not your Siye. Please don't spray coffee in my face."

Hearing her say this, Qingkong's mouth twitched and he wanted to go wash his face again.

"It's enough for Silly Sister to be stupid alone. I won't be like you." Qingkong found that calling Sanye by this nickname was strangely familiar. "And the pronunciation is different, so there won't be misunderstanding, okay?"

Sanye pouted. She was not a fool. "Voiced sounds and the like are definitely not clear at first glance."

Too lazy to refute Sanye, Qingkong continued to drink his coffee. The bright sunlight shone through the window onto the ground. The cat kept in the store walked over there and lay down, lazily basking in the sun.

"Please give me another serving of Black Forest Cake~" Sanye looked at Qingkong like this, snorted, turned around and called the waiter.

"Do you really want to have dessert for lunch?"

"Yes, but one portion is enough for me~" Sanye supported her side face and looked at Qingkong seriously, "This portion is for you, as a thank you gift."

"Thank you?"

"Yeah." Sanye smiled foolishly, "Even if there is no trace of my existence, you are willing to believe me. If I don't thank you properly, I will feel uneasy."

"Isn't it weird to have dessert for lunch?"

"Just try it, it's delicious~"

"There's a cherry bar in the black forest cake. Is that okay?"

In order to bake a decent cake for those five idiots, Qingkong made up for himself with relevant knowledge and became quite familiar with this famous cake.

"Don't worry, if the alcohol content is really too high, the manager won't sell it to us."

As they were talking, the cake had been served. Its good appearance and faint cherry aroma made Qingkong want to try it.

"How is it? Isn't it delicious?"

At first, Sanye stared blankly at Qingkong eating the cake, then realized that her behavior was a bit like that of a nympho, so she blushed and lowered her head to finish her lunch, but still couldn't help asking in a low voice.

After all, it is a very happy thing that the things you like are liked by the people you like.

"Yeah, it's quite delicious."

"Hehe, that's good."

In this late spring and early summer, the boys and girls quietly savored their somewhat strange lunch, chatted softly, and enjoyed a fairly pleasant time.

Occasionally their eyes met, Qingkong would look away, and his reserved look made Sanye chuckle with her hands covering her mouth.

"Although Qingkong hasn't remembered me yet, this is already great." Mitsuha sighed sincerely, "Meet in Tokyo", this promise may have been fulfilled.

"Really? It just so happens that I am too lazy to piece together my memories." Qingkong curled his lips, "It's our first meeting, please take care of me."

"Long time no see, do you still remember me?" Sanye lightly held up her hair and stuck out her tongue at Qingkong, making a face, "No, I just said something so cool, I can't go back on my word, I have to keep my word, isn't this your family motto?"

Qingkong thought that there is another family motto in our house which is "Do things within your ability". If this motto is slightly misinterpreted, I would have a reason to slack off all my life.

Both of them finished eating the cake while chatting and laughing, but Miss Sanye was a little bit unsatisfied and had a subtle expression on her face.

Seeing her like this, Qingkong laughed helplessly, "Silly sister, if you are not full, just ask for another one. If that doesn't work, we can go out and eat something else."

"No, I'm just full and want to take a break." Sanye waved her hands. She didn't want Qingkong to think that she was a girl who could eat. "This is enough."

"Really? Your expression is exactly the same as Fumino's." Qingkong suddenly found that there were quite a few girls around him who could eat, and a smile appeared on his face. "Besides, if I only eat cake for lunch, I won't be full. Can you accompany me to buy something else to eat?"

"Then I'll treat you instead. Although I can't support you on that matter, I can still help you replenish your mental energy." Sanye accepted Qingkong's thoughtful suggestion, "It just so happens that I know a store nearby that is definitely not inferior to the store you recommended to me."

"Then I'll trouble you, Senior."

The two people left the cafe and headed towards the restaurant. The girl in a dress walked in front, the hair buttons swaying, attracting the attention of the boy who was slacking off nearby.

"Has Senior always been using this group button?"

"Do you know the name of this?" Sanye was a little surprised and reached out to touch the button. "I've used this for a long time, about two and a half years."

Qingkong felt that this thing was very familiar. "It's very famous. It's said to be something only available at Miyamizu Shrine."

It would cost a lot of money to shop online, Qingkong complained silently in his heart.

Sanye didn't think it was anything special. "Nothing special. Many people in the department have made buttons. After all, it's considered a specialty."

However, this one of mine is a bit strange. The pattern is different from the one I wove myself, and the time I got it is also quite special.

Sanye blinked and suddenly untied her hair tie, letting the complicated braids hang loose. The long hair that took a long time to grow again fell apart, and Qingkong felt a little dazed at that moment.

"Hey, Qingkong, what impression do you have?"

It was a bit of a headache, but Qingkong still tried his best to recall, "It's exactly the same as the one in Xiaohui's hand. Other than that, I don't know."

"Xiao Hui..." Miyamizu Mitsuha, who had lost her memory, felt that the name was very familiar, but she couldn't remember it. "This is for you."

"Eh? Why."

Qingkong was at a loss holding the button.

"Nothing, I just wanted to give it to you." Sanye looked at Qingkong's empty wrist and bit her lip.

Looking at Senior Sanye's scattered long hair, Qingkong looked disgusted and said, "I don't want something that you have been using for so long."

"Huh?" Sanye was a little angry.

Qingkong looked at her and curled his lips, "It has been tied on your head for so long, it must be something very important. I can't have it."

"Besides," the boy turned his face away, "it will look better if tied up."

Mitsuha was stunned for a moment, then she laughed at Qingkong's expression, "I didn't expect that Hanyu is such a tsundere~"

"Don't talk nonsense, silly girl."

Mitsuha snorted, took the button back from Qingkong, and simply tied it into a single ponytail, "Does it look good?"

"looks good."

Mitsuha smiled happily. There was no need to cut her hair short this time.

Chapter 112 No Consciousness

After parting with Senior Mitsuha, Qingkong's expression became indifferent. He bought a can of coffee from the vending machine and started drinking it by himself.

"If the puzzle pieces are not complete, the game cannot begin."

Helpless Qingkong leaned on the railing and looked out, but the rows of buildings blocked his view.

"I can't see clearly..."

What Qingkong talked about was not just his memories, but more importantly, his future.

After the long break, he will have to face the people he deliberately avoided again. The distance he once carefully controlled now seems quite ridiculous.

Recent events have been beyond his control, or rather, they have never been under his control.

Just like today was the birthday of the five sisters. He wanted to escape, so he asked for the keys and packed up early in the morning, making an excuse for himself not to attend the birthday party in the afternoon.

Nino, Miku, and the abnormal Ichika, Qingkong wanted to escape, or at least disappear on this special day.

He can feel other people's feelings and intentions, he is not a fool.

He used to be able to play dumb, but now he has lost that option.

Playing dumb often requires the cooperation of the other party, or cowardice. Love is never a one-person thing, it has always been a game for two people.

Once the branch quest is started, if you want to end it, someone will definitely get hurt.

If possible, Hanyu Aozora hopes that the person who was injured is himself, but this is impossible because he is the biggest perpetrator.

Because the girls who like him don't want him to get hurt, just as he doesn't have the courage to make a decision that would hurt someone.

This was exactly what he hated most about himself.

"So, if I had gone abroad to study, I wouldn't have had all these troubles." Qingkong subconsciously denied the decision he had made, the decision he made with everyone, even though he knew it was irresponsible of them, "It's so troublesome."

If you really go abroad to study and come back a few years later, everyone will have their own stories. When talking about Hanyu Aozora, you may chuckle with nostalgia and feel completely relieved, or you may treat it as a dark history and feel ashamed.

In short, there is no doubt that Hanyu Aozora is not worthy of being the protagonist in everyone's story.

Unable to help but think about such things, Hanyu Aozora turned into the sick and weird child he used to be.

However, the most ironic thing is that this is the real Hanyu Aozora.

"It's so troublesome..."

Instead of looking into the distance, he leaned against the railing and stared blankly at the sky.

"I like Eriri." The boy muttered to himself, his clear eyes more cloudy than ever. "I know this very well, but why would I mess with other girls if I like her?"

Even after the breakup, Qingkong had no plans to fall in love again, perhaps because he thought falling in love was troublesome, or perhaps because he was hoping they would get back together in the future.

But it was with this mood that he shortened the distance between himself and many people.

Afraid of trouble, too lazy to fall in love, who are you kidding? Obviously, you have been using extra tenderness to interact with all kinds of people.

I just want to use so-called gentleness to find my own sense of existence, and want to fill my own emptiness with the love of others.

"I like Kato Megumi." The boy bit his lip, his cloudy eyes becoming dull. "She's the one who's been with me from the beginning. I don't want her to leave. Is this selfish?"

Because of one thing, he did not choose Kato Megumi. Perhaps from that time on, he had done something wrong, and he kept making the same mistake over and over again.

He didn't regret choosing Eriri, but that time when he forcibly maintained the relationship between the three of them was the source of what he is now.

He likes Kato Megumi and Eriri, and he doesn't want to lose either of them. He is so selfish.

Liking two people at the same time is not a funny joke at all.

What's more, it's true.

Blood oozed out, and the taste seeped into his mouth and heart, only then did the boy realize that he had bitten his lip.

Qingkong took out a tissue to wipe off the blood with an expressionless face.

"It's all my fault." The pain came belatedly, Qingkong laughed at himself, pulling the wound, blood oozed out again, this time he was too lazy to care, "I kind of hate myself for being like this."

"Oh, no, it should be disgusting."

"As I am now, I don't deserve to stay with them anymore..."

"You don't even know who you like, how can you expect everyone to be happy?"

I still remember that when Qingkong was playing games in the past, what he liked most was to find a happy ending for everyone. No matter how difficult the conditions were, he wanted to do it.

Eriri once asked him why he was so obsessed with the happiness of everyone, after all, some games didn't have such a plot.

"When I think about those failed characters falling in love with others after the plot, I feel uncomfortable." Qingkong had a look of indignation on his face. "I like the protagonist more than anyone else, but I can't get happiness. Isn't this very sad?"

"They also have their own stories. They are already losers. Do you still want to deprive them of the right to find happiness after the plot?" Ying Lili poked Qingkong's forehead and was speechless about his idea.

Qingkong was speechless at that time, and he also has no answer now.

"As long as you don't start the side quests, the characters will fall in love, get married, and have children according to the original trajectory," Eriri's words at the time echoed in Qingkong's ears, "No one stipulates that they must like the protagonist, right? As long as you don't touch it, there will be no problem. So don't flirt with girls randomly, if you accidentally touch the key points of the strategy, it will be very troublesome."

At that time, I felt that there was something else behind Eriri's words. Now that I think about it, she might have meant to warn me.
