When she left with her notebook, Nana Toyama always felt that there was something strange about the atmosphere just now, as if something was invisibly suppressing her heart, and she just couldn't relax like before.
Reina felt like she had a lot to say, but in the end, not a single word came out.
When she sat in the passenger seat of Toru Uehara's car, Nana Toyama felt subtly depressed.
"What did Reina give you?"
"I don't know, notebook."
"Notebook?" Uehara Toru thought for a moment and said, "Open it and take a look?"
"No, Reina specifically told me to go back and watch it, Toru, don't peek!"
"Okay, okay, I guess it could be something like acting? Or a recipe?"
"I do not know."
Nana Toyama always felt that it wouldn't be that simple.
After sending Nana Touyama off, Toru Uehara drove away quickly. Nana Touyama walked quickly into her luxury apartment, holding her notebook. The cold air made her shiver.
After entering the room, she finally reached her room, turned on the heater, and breathed a sigh of relief.
After sitting on the bed for a while, she opened the notebook.
Page one, recipes.
There were dozens of recipes recorded on it, and even the names of the dishes were written neatly and clearly. Toyama Nana couldn't help but chuckle and murmured, "Tōru really guessed it right." She thought there would be something special, but it turned out to be just a recipe, so she was slightly relieved.
However, as she read carefully, she gradually realized that something was wrong. There were special notes attached to each dish:
Sweet and Sour Pork: "It can be seen that Toru-kun prefers sweet and sour taste. He seemed very happy when I tried making this last time."
Miso soup: "He likes to drink soup stock, but he doesn't like miso soup."
Steak: "He doesn't like Western food very much, and prefers Chinese or Japanese cuisine."
Western food: "He cooks Western food mostly for others to eat, he doesn't like the taste himself."
Those meticulous annotations are so detailed that even Uehara Toru himself may not be able to summarize them so clearly. These are all accumulated by Rena Ueda bit by bit over more than half a year of observation.
Nana Touyama's mood gradually became complicated. She couldn't help but continue turning the pages, until after more than a dozen pages of recipes, she finally saw the record about Uehara Toru himself. It described in detail his preferences, habits, and even emotional details:
"He prefers freedom and doesn't like being constrained. He instinctively hates things that have too many rules."
“My favorite music style changes, but I prefer instrumental music and jazz the most.”
"He doesn't show it on the surface, but he actually likes to be praised. When he is praised, he will show a happy expression like a child."
The more Toyama Nana read it, the more she felt that this notebook was not an ordinary record at all, but a love letter filled with delicate feelings.
is that so……?
Has Reina actually always liked Toru?
I couldn't see it at all.
Nana Toyama secretly wondered how deeply Rena Ueda hid herself.
But she was also a little confused. Was Reina really going to give her such a precious record? Why would Reina, who knew Uehara Toru so well, choose to give it up? She flipped through a few pages and finally saw a specially marked sentence on a page:
9.13
"Tetsu-kun said that what he hates most is people who don't keep their promises."
"Remember, you must abide by the agreement, no matter what it is."
Agreement?
Nana Toyama was stunned.
The notebook in her hand felt heavy, as if it was soaked in deep love.
This record seemed extremely light on the surface, but when she held it in her hands it carried an extremely heavy emotional weight, and she didn't know how to deal with it for a moment.
Unable to help it, Nana Toyama picked up her phone and sent a message to Rena Ueda, wanting to know why she gave her the notebook.
Not long after, Reina Ueda replied.
"Because, Toru-kun can't possibly like me. We had an agreement, or rather, I was rejected by him a long time ago."
"So, Nana, you and he are the ones that get along best, and your relationship is now the closest. I hope this notebook will be helpful to you."
Nana Touyama was speechless for a moment, feeling mixed emotions. She typed back, "Sorry, Reina, I can't use other people's experience to treat him... I will return the notebook to you another day."
“……” Rena Ueda seemed silent.
Nana Touyama thought for a moment and sent another message: "Reina... I know this may be a little abrupt, but I think you gave up too early, or rather, it's far from that time yet. There's actually still a long distance between Toru and I."
"Let's just rely on our own abilities. There's no need for this kind of 'shortcut'." Both of them have mild tempers, and even when they know that the other also likes Hara Toru, they can still communicate calmly.
The two looked at the screen and smiled helplessly. They really couldn't be hostile to each other. After all, they were both good people. They would meet again on the set in the future. It was not possible for them to fall out because of emotional problems - it wasn't like they were filming Tiny Times.
Ueda Reina replied: "I see, thank you, Nana, I'm sorry for making things difficult for you."
"It's okay, Reina-chan, come on."
"Ah, you too."
After Shan put down her phone, Toyama Nana felt very upset.
If explaining to Reina Ueda is so difficult, how should I deal with others?
0 She didn't want to cause unpleasantness with her friends because of this matter, and she didn't want to become a burden to Uehara Tetsujin.
She sighed silently and thought, maybe she should not go back to her hometown with him during the New Year.
At the same time, Ueda Reina, who was sitting in the kotatsu, lowered her head and hugged Kotaro, and murmured a self-deprecating sentence: "You are so despicable... Ueda Reina."
This sentence is an accusation against herself. Although she had already decided to give up in her heart, she still couldn't help but hand the notebook full of her feelings to Nana Toyama. It was like she was betting on Nana's gentle and kind character, and was sure that she would feel worried and reluctant because of this friendship.
"How despicable..." She repeated in a low voice, bitterness spreading in her heart. She hated those scheming methods the most, but she found herself becoming one of them without realizing it. This kind of faint resentment and self-blame made her a little disgusted with herself now.
Kotaro in her arms felt her emotions, raised his head and looked at her with his moist big eyes. He had just been rejected by the female cat when he pursued her for the first time, and now he was also a loser.
Reina Ueda gently stroked Torataro's fur, but she felt like there was a thorn in her heart.
She lowered her head and smiled bitterly, with a hint of helplessness and pain in her eyes. Perhaps, only after she was completely honest and rejected without any room for negotiation, could she let it go completely? But when the words came to her lips, she still didn't dare to take this step.
"Che-kun..." She murmured softly, her voice barely audible, "Your light... is still too dazzling for me."
Volume 124: Chapter Chapter Miss Ying teaches you how to express your feelings correctly
The twin-tailed group's offline event, this time the lineup is the same as the "Oregairu" event period, still a combination of one man and three women.
Today, Toru Uehara has realized that he is not suitable for telling dirty jokes and he simply does not have that talent, so he simply decided to be himself and no longer force himself to fit in with the atmosphere.
"Mr. Uehara, please don't self-destruct like you did last time." The staff member at the side kindly reminded.
Nakauehara Toru nodded, indicating that he would pay attention.
Mizuno Qi, who heard this, seemed a little curious: "What happened last time?"
Sumire Uesaka, who was standing next to her, was a little surprised: "Don't you know?"
: Mizuno Inori tilted her head: "Do I really have to know?"
After all, she is not a god, and her personal time is limited. Although she cares about Uehara Toru, she can't track all his messages around the clock. If she reveals too much concern in a conversation, wouldn't she look like a pervert?
0 In fact, her leisure and entertainment activities have long evolved from simple surfing the Internet to using a small account to fight 300 rounds of fierce battles with anti-fans in a no-barrier group. She also controls her own forum and the largest fan group, and continues to maintain the positive image of Uehara Toru.
Of course, she would go out for dinner and walks with Sumire Uesaka and Ayane Sakura, and friends like Rina Hidaka, Anju Iwa, and Kuriko Ito were not left out. But she always felt that this kind of friendship was subtle and different.
In general, Xiaoshui's mental state is gradually stabilizing, and she smiles more often. The accumulated negative energy seems to have dissipated slowly without her noticing.
4Uesaka Sumire looked at her with a somewhat dissatisfied expression: "With someone like you, can you be the group leader?"
"?"
"I'm too lazy to explain to you. Just check it on the Internet yourself." Sumire Uesaka snorted coldly and walked towards Toru Uehara and Maaya Uchida, ready to join their conversation.
Ling Mizuno Inori snorted in dissatisfaction and began searching the Internet for information about Uehara Toru's last activity. He guessed it should be an activity for "Oregairu", right?
She clicked on the familiar YouTube. Usually she only watched some singing and dancing videos on it, but today she searched for Toru Uehara's name for the first time.
Sure enough, the video with the highest number of views immediately came into view.
"It turns out that Toru Uehara is a virgin!!!"
"..."
"I see." Mizuno Qi understood the title as soon as she saw it. Sure enough, the titles these days are really... But to be honest, she seemed to be in a happier mood.
She had actually long suspected that someone like Uehara Toru, with his odd personality, probably had never been in a relationship. Now that it was finally confirmed, she actually felt a little relieved.
"It's okay, Tetsu-kun, I'm a virgin anyway, what's there to be embarrassed about?" She whispered to herself.
Mizuno Qi thought of the seniors she met in high school who thought they were mature. They all felt that losing virginity represented growth, but in her opinion, that was just an excuse for self-degradation when they were young.
If you are not in a happy relationship and don't give your important first time to the person you love, then what is the point of doing it?
Mizuno Inori would never blindly follow what those people do.
"Xiao Shui... do you know where this is? How can you say such a thing casually?"
Suddenly, a deep voice came from behind her, and a hot breath brushed past her ears.
Mizuno Qi was startled and looked over. She was slightly relieved when she found that it was Sister Miyu.
"Don't scare me, Sister Miyu." She complained softly.
Sister Meiyu held her forehead and sighed: "Xiao Shui, please, please be careful about the occasion before speaking. And now you are...really."
"I know. I only dared to talk to myself because I saw Toru-kun in front of me. I'm not stupid. Okay, let's go, Miu-nee."
Sister Miyu looked at her artist's departing back helplessly and sighed softly.
I always feel that sooner or later Mizuno Qi will get into big trouble because of this kind of thing.
But what can she do? She can only do her job and help her clean up the mess.
-
The event was filled with a relaxed atmosphere. It was still hosted by the same host from "Oregairu" last time. As expected, he started off by making fun of Toru Uehara's last little accident, which made everyone laugh.
Toru Uehara looked indifferent about this, but the female voice actors beside him blushed slightly.
"Okay, now that we've introduced ourselves, let's get into today's game session! I heard that Uehara-san's punishment session last time was very popular, so we've specially arranged a punishment game for today."
Uehara Toru sighed helplessly: "So, they are all targeting me?"
"That's right! Uehara Toru is so cool! So cool!" Suddenly, a fan emerged from the crowd and shouted excitedly.
Toru Uehara felt a little embarrassed and could only wave his hand to signal him to calm down, and the audience immediately burst into laughter.
"Well, without further ado, let's start the first part!" The host continued, "The first part is called 'Voice Identification', which tests the tacit understanding between the voice actors. I will randomly select a few audience members and a voice actor present to record specific lines, and the lines will be processed with special effects. You can only judge who is the real voice actor by the voice actor's quirks or acting skills."
"It sounds like it's a bit difficult..." Uchida Maaya couldn't help but sigh, but Uesaka Sumire said confidently that she was not worried - she was sure that she could definitely recognize Uehara Toru's voice, even after special effects processing.
Mizuno Inori secretly clenched her fists, and a sense of competition rose in her heart. Just now, Uesaka Sumire mocked her for not being worthy of being the group leader. If it involves Uehara Toru, she must win this time to save her qualification as the "group leader".
"Okay, the first participant is Uehara-san, and a few random audience members," the host announced. "The numbers on the screen are rolling... Congratulations to No. 54, 55, and 69!"
Soon, three people walked out from the audience, but what surprised Uehara Toru was that No. 54 and No. 55 were Mrs. Uesaka and Mrs. Sakura.
"Oh, there are two beautiful ladies and a handsome boy. Please be careful on the steps." said the host with a smile.
"He called us 'Miss'!" Mrs. Uesaka smiled brightly, obviously in a good mood.
Mrs. Sakura whispered, "We're both wearing masks, so of course we'll be mistaken for young people."
Mrs. Uesaka smiled slightly and said softly, "You are really lucky. Since you have been chosen, you might as well take this opportunity to talk to Uehara-kun about that matter backstage."
Mrs. Uesaka had already told Mrs. Sakura about Toru Uehara's family background.
Although Mrs. Sakura did not show any special reaction, she knew very well that no matter what Toru Uehara's family background was, what really affected her daughter's feelings was not these external factors, but her daughter's awkward heart.
If my daughter can face her feelings squarely, these external factors will not be a concern at all.
Unlike Mrs. Uesaka, she never actively interferes with her daughter's feelings. She believes that haste makes waste and excessive intervention will be counterproductive.
After they came on stage, they both turned to look at Uehara Toru. Uehara Toru thought it was nothing at first, but after a closer look, he realized who they were.
"Mrs. Uesaka, Sakura..."
"Shh, Uehara-kun, keep your voice down. Don't let Sumire find out." Mrs. Uesaka reminded with a smile.
