What does it have to do with me if they hate vests?

Therefore, for Si Ji, he would never be careless and fail to dodge. If it really happened, like now, it means that he had a similar idea from the beginning.

At this time, Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was still a little frightened in the bathroom, could not see Sakurajima Mai, so she could only stare at the manuscript in her hand in a daze.

She felt like she was just distracted for a moment, and when she came to her senses, she had already run to the toilet and hid...

Could it be that I really have feelings for Kasumi Shiko? Is it impossible to be accepted by everyone? Or did I do something wrong from the beginning?

Kasumigaoka Utaha was totally confused and just felt extremely upset.

At this moment, she suddenly felt that, just like the long-sleeping other half in the depths of her soul, with a big heart that could ignore the looks and comments of others, she might really be able to become happier.

Just at this time.

"Little rabbit, open the door..."

Si Ji sang nursery rhymes and walked slowly to the toilet like a perverted murderer and knocked on the door.

Chapter 317: Double Body

Of course, at the end of the season four, I didn't find an axe to chop down the toilet door and say 'Here's Johnny!' or anything like that.

He just said at the door: "Since you took the script from me, it means you don't want it to end here, right?"

There was no response from the door.

This is understandable. After all, Kasumigaoka Utaha must still be confused by this sudden situation, and Sakurajima Mai is unlikely to surrender at this time.

"Although this is not related to the topic, have you ever heard of the term Doppelganger?"

So Si Ji spoke again.

At first, Shiki thought that Kasumigaoka Utaha's adolescent syndrome was the development of multiple personalities.

In fact, even Kasumigaoka Utaha herself thinks so.

That's why she said something like 'Kasumi Shiko is dead'.

But after spending a few times together, Si Ji vaguely felt that something was wrong.

He looked through the Puberty Syndrome Notebook again and confirmed that Kasumigaoka Utaha was suffering from 'Double Body Syndrome' rather than 'Multiple Personality Syndrome'.

After a while, Kasumigaoka Utaha's depressed voice came from the toilet: "Is it meaningful to talk about this now? And in most film and television works, seeing the so-called doppelganger is not a sign of the original's death."

"You said that was an artistic process... Actually, the doppelganger refers to the 'self-voyeurism phenomenon', which is simply peeking into another self in your heart... Well, this statement is a bit ambiguous. To put it more bluntly, the doppelganger that people see is just another side of themselves mentally, and has nothing to do with multiple personalities or schizophrenia."

Si Ji stood at the door of the toilet and said calmly - if others knew that he blocked the girl in the toilet just to talk to her about her psychological problems, he would probably be regarded as a person with psychological problems...

Sakurajima Mai curled up her body as much as possible, trying not to touch Kasumigaoka Utaha. After all, this bathroom was too small. At the same time, she finally understood the meaning of the weird words the two had been talking about just now.

'Xia Shizi and Xia Laofei are the same person, but Xia Laofei feels that he has replaced Xia Shizi, so he has always felt guilty. Perhaps he subconsciously cut off the relationship between himself and Xia Shizi, so he can't even show his true level of writing, which he used to be good at, and has become mediocre...'

Following this line of thought, Sakurajima Mai suddenly realized that she seemed to be in trouble.

"So, Shiki was just using this incident to provoke the other party, like a strong medicine, forcing the other party to accept that he and Kasumi Shiko are one, not multiple personalities or schizophrenia? In the end, it was messed up because of my reckless behavior?"

After understanding this, the girl suddenly felt filled with guilt and became a little restless.

If you think about it carefully, even though Washimiya Shiki looks unreliable and makes excessive jokes, he is actually helping seriously. Even his jokes are just an effort to make himself less nervous.

Thinking of this, Sakurajima Mai's sense of guilt suddenly became stronger.

How about just secretly opening the door and letting him in?

No, no, no, after all, there are girls in the bathroom now, so it’s really not a good idea to do this, right?

"So, what's the point of you telling me this now!"

But unlike Mai Sakurajima who was a bystander, Kasumigaoka Utaha, as an insider, still couldn't understand what Shiki meant. She was still resisting Shiki's kindness: "Is there another me in my heart that is not as clear as you, an outsider?"

She sat on the toilet lid, hugging her knees. "I am her ideal form, what she wanted, completely different from my past self, the Kasumigaoka Utaha who is loved by everyone! I will never agree with you, because once I agree, doesn't it mean that everything she expected, everything she was willing to give up her own existence for, is just a lie!"

"...Actually, you have realized it a long time ago, right?" Si Ji said suddenly.

"I don't understand what you are saying." Kasumigaoka Utaha buried her face in her knees and answered sullenly.

The two faced each other across the door for a moment.

"Because what you are complaining about is not 'your own existence is false'. Obviously, for a self-conscious person, this should be the most important thing, right?" Shiki pointed out the flaw in the other party's words: "So you have actually realized it a long time ago. After all, although the senior Kasumigaoka I know has some problems in judging people, he is a very smart and perceptive person."

There was silence in the bathroom for a long time. Suddenly, Kasumigaoka Utaha opened the door and stared at Shiki, who was squatting at the door with a piece of wire that she had found from somewhere in her hand, and seemed to be planning to do something with the keyhole.

Si Ji gave an embarrassed smile, casually wrapped the wire around, stuffed it back into his pocket, then straightened his face as if nothing had happened.

His actions made Kasumigaoka Utaha forget what she wanted to say.

It took her a moment to reorganize her words.

"Even if you say that, it's meaningless, because I really can't figure out whether I am 'Kasumi Shiko' or 'Kasumigaoka Shiha'," she raised the script in her hand, "and as you can see, I have lost the ability to write scripts. Even if you come to me, it's useless... What's that expression on your face?"

"Senior Kasumigaoka has suddenly become so frank," Shiki said with a subtle expression, looking away with a guilty conscience, "I feel a little disgusted..."

The girl was so angry that she almost stuffed the script in her hand directly into his nostrils. She said unhappily: "I'm sorry that 'Xia Shizi' has such an awkward personality."

However, Kasumigaoka Utaha's attitude finally became clear.

She was still confused. After experiencing so many things, she began to wonder how to face the world. However, she did not reject the idea of ​​returning to her original appearance. It was just that as an ordinary person, she could not do it.

"If you're new, practice more... cough, just kidding, don't look at me like that." Shiki coughed dryly: "You even called your original self 'Xia Shizi', which means there is only one way to recover."

He pointed at the script in the girl's hand and said, "Accept yourself again, face your heart, and then find your original desire and motivation to create. When you can write the same words as before, you will have successfully found yourself again."

Seeing that Kasumigaoka Utaha still had hesitation and doubt on her face, Shiki took advantage of the fact that she hadn't changed back yet and was much more susceptible to temptation than before, and continued to encourage her: "Don't worry, believe in yourself! Even if you don't believe in yourself, you have to believe in me who believes in you!"

Then Kasumigaoka Utaha's expression became even more suspicious.

Chapter 318 Damn, I finished writing it yesterday but forgot to post it

"What is the relationship between you and that Miss Kasumigaoka?"

As she quietly followed Kasumigaoka Utaha out of the bathroom, Sakurajima Mai asked Shiki curiously.

"A familiar stranger."

Si Ji answered seriously.

"is it?"

Sakurajima Mai did not comment, obviously she still remembered Shiki's impassioned speech at the toilet door just now, with an expression of "Resurrection, my love".

"Yes, my acquaintance with her was purely coincidental, and the connection we had was only due to some bad karma."

Si Ji said this as if nothing had happened, with a very frank attitude.

He didn't intend to hide anything.

Because Kasumigaoka Utaha’s score in Shiki’s heart is indeed not high.

Indeed, in the eyes of ordinary students, Kasumigaoka Utaha is a beautiful girl who can only be admired from afar, so they have a special filter for her.

But Shiki is obviously not an ordinary person. In the two and a half years since he came to this world, he has met all kinds of women. To put it bluntly, among the women who can enter Maple Leaf Technology and reach the top level, there is no one worse than Kasumigaoka Utaha. It can even be said that even if Kasumigaoka Utaha did not follow the light novel route, but studied hard every day to become a top student, she might not be able to squeeze into the top level of Maple Leaf Technology.

After losing this filter, the image of Kasumigaoka Utaha in the eyes of Shiki naturally became a little girl with poor vision but a lot of troubles...

To be honest, even the children of the Moe family have a closer relationship with Shiki than Kasumigaoka Utaha, and have a higher favorability towards Shiki.

And although the doppelganger Utaha is not loved by everyone, she is indeed easier to get along with than the original one. So this may be a huge blow to those boys in school who think they have a chance because of the current Utaha.

"What a bad fate..." Sakurajima Mai looked at Shiki's bored look and said meaningfully: "It seems that my work here will have to be postponed again? So are we leaving now?"

"No, we need to ask Kasumigaoka to revise the manuscript today so that we can take it away." Si Ji shook his head and said in a grim tone, "Don't even think of asking me to work overtime!"

Sakurajima Mai: "..."

I hope Xia Laofei is okay, Amen.

☆

Service department activity room.

"excuse me."

Eriri carefully poked her head out from behind the door and found that the guy who was always in a state of disarray was not inside. Only Yukinoshita Yukino was reading a book with her back to the sunset.

Suddenly the girl couldn't help but want to retreat.

"Is there a problem?"

Seeing that work came to her, Yukinoshita Yukino put away the light novel and asked seriously.

But when she saw clearly through the backlight that the person coming was Eriri, her originally energetic look disappeared and she subconsciously took out the light novel again.

After all, during the period of preparation for the Toyotsu Festival, Eriri often appeared here. Although she was not a member of the Service Club, she was an old acquaintance. In Shiki's words, "she was a non-staff individual in the Service Club."

"That guy Shiki, didn't he come to school today..." Eriri asked curiously.

"Maybe something happened."

Yukinoshita Yukino casually said, "Are you here to see him?"

In fact, she was a little curious and worried about what Siji had suddenly skipped class and ran off to some unknown place. After all, although Siji himself was not aware of it, he was indeed a guy who liked to play tricks. It was just that her previous decision to keep as much distance from Siji as possible forced the girl to extinguish her curiosity.

"Well, actually I have something I want to commission."

Since Shiki is not here, Eriri can only reluctantly hand over her commission to Yukinoshita Yukino.

"Oh?" Xueno suddenly perked up. She put away the paperback in her hand, stared at the other party and said seriously, "I'd like to hear more about it."

"I have a friend..."

Eriri stammered in a low voice, but judging from her undecided tone, she seemed to be still hesitating whether or not to tell Yukinoshita.

When Yukinoshita Yukino heard this opening, her eyebrows slightly raised and her expression changed slightly.

"Don't worry, I've got it for you. We won't expose you and your friends at will." Yukinoshita Yukino endured the rhetorical question of "Is this friend you're talking about yourself?" and said casually, "There is still some professional ethics to this extent."

"Her name is Kasumigaoka Utaha. She was in the third grade and always ranked among the top students. She is considered a well-known person in the school." Eriri continued, "Have you heard of her?"

After the source of the conflict was gone, although Eriri was often annoyed by Kasumigaoka Utaha's sharp tongue at the beginning, they would reconcile in the end. In addition, they knew each other well, and although they had not confirmed it, both sides subconsciously regarded each other as their friends.

"That one? I have some impression of him."

Yukinoshita Yukino stood up and poured a cup of tea for Eriri. After all, she knew that the other party really came to entrust something to her, so she had to treat her as a basic guest.

"How is Miss Kasumigaoka doing? I remember she should have returned to school some time ago..." asked Yukino.

Although no one deliberately publicized it and the school's top brass had issued a gag order, this level of public opinion control was obviously meaningless. The students' favorite thing to do was to engage in rebellious behavior that was not particularly serious, and they all gossiped about Kasumigaoka Utaha in private.

Although the specific situation has not been leaked, the second-year students can't help but speculate that the situation is not as good as it seems.

But a few days ago, the other person appeared in the school again, and seemed to have regained his normal state of mind. He would not get angry even if people said something unpleasant to him. His personality also seemed to have become a lot gentler, and he could chat with anyone. He did not look like the victim in the previous rumors at all.

At that time, Yukinoshita Yukino even sighed that this guy finally raised the French salute to reality and life, and became as ordinary as most of the students around him, destined to become more and more boring.

She also remembered that Si Ji seemed to have something to say at that time, but in the end he said nothing.

"Shiyu didn't come to school today, and I couldn't contact her. I was afraid something might happen to her..." Eriri lowered her head and said grimly, "I wanted to go see her myself, but the award ceremony for the oil painting competition I participated in is today. I have already agreed with the school to attend, and it is a matter related to the entire art department and I can't refuse it casually, so I can only ask you to help me go to Kasumigaoka's house to see what's going on."

"No problem," Yukinoshita Yukino, who was originally alone in the service club with nothing to do, nodded: "I will keep in touch with you."

Chapter 319 The Earth Rotates

Because she didn't have enough money to take a taxi, Yukinoshita Yukino had to take the tram to the nearby area to go to Kasumigaoka's house, and then slowly look for it according to the address, which wasted a lot of time.

By the time she found the house with the words "Xiazhiqiu" written on the doorplate, the sky was already filled with orange, and the blazing clouds covered half of the western sky like the fire of divine punishment that burned down Gomorrah.

Yukino took out the note Eriri gave her and checked the address before finally standing at the door and ringing the doorbell.

A moment later, the door of the house opened from the inside.

Just as Yukino was about to introduce herself to the other person, she was stunned when she saw who opened the door.

"That... eh?" When Shiki opened the door, he was stunned to find that it was Yukinoshita Yukino outside the door.

Immediately, his expression returned to normal: "Isn't this the Minister? What's the matter with you here?"

His tone and expression were calm, as if this was not Kasumigaoka Utaha's home, but his home.

If Yukino didn't happen to live in Washimiya-ryo, she would have been fooled by this guy's extremely natural expression and thought she had found the wrong place.

"You asked for leave from school today. Are you hanging out at home with that Kasumigaoka?"

The girl frowned deeply, looked at Si Ji and asked in a bad tone.
