Faced with the blackened heroine, they actually stopped time

Will Sakuraba Mitsuki apologize?

It's not just something I've never heard of, it's something I can't even imagine.

Sakuraba Mizuki nodded.

"Yeah, I want to apologize to you for what happened last time. I really shouldn't have done that."

"..."

This sentence will not be able to be said to Asagiri Ran.

Am I dreaming? Or am I hallucinating?

Or has the world changed after last night? Has the personalities of people all over the world mutated?

Will this woman apologize to herself? Or is it just a normal apology?

impossible? !

Asagiri Ran looked at Sakuraba Mitsuki hesitantly.

"What's going on?"

Sakuraba Mitsuki was eating nonchalantly.

"Nothing. I just think it's unfair to you. After all, you've never had a boyfriend, and you can't get the person you like. And doing that by your side... is a bit too much, but my heart is still good. If I can't taste it, I think taking a look can reduce some regrets."

I knew it! ! !

Asagiri Ran knew that this woman had no good intentions!

What an apology.

It's just adding insult to injury.

Not only did he feel no guilt for what happened last time, he was even thinking about giving himself a more fatal blow.

But Asagiri Ran was no longer as angry as last time, not because she was used to this woman's methods.

Instead, she thought of the soft look the boy gave her last night.

That's right.

It is because I am such a hypocritical person and I like to talk tough that I always miss a lot of things. I think that fate treats me unfairly. Aren’t the opportunities that come to me many times because I am guilty and soft-hearted?

Fate is like those bullies, always bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

How can I keep escaping from my own life and from things that will never let me go?

It's pretty obvious what she meant by saying these words, isn't it?

If that's the case, why should I follow her wishes and follow her premonition to get the reaction she wants?

So Asagiri Ran smiled.

She hardly ever smiled in front of anyone at school, and even the most cheerful things seemed to become non-events because of her self-marginalization.

After all, people who always think that it is none of their business and stay out of it cannot be happy for others.

But at this moment she smiled, and this smile made Sakuraba Mitsuki's smile disappear, as if it had been transferred from her face.

Then I heard Asagiri Ran say with a smile.

"You like to say things like this in front of me. Do you have such a strange habit, or do you think that saying this will make me hate Oreki Gen?"

"..."

Kujo Nao was stunned. How did she pull the Oreki string?

What on earth are these two talking about... Wait, could it be that the conflict between these two people is because of that young man?

As if she had discovered something incredible, Kujo Nao dared not even breathe and could not even keep eating.

And Sakuraba Mitsuki looked into her eyes.

Looking straight into Asagiri Ran's eyes that didn't avoid his, it seemed that there was no longer the stubborn look in her eyes as in the past, but a completely new emotion.

With ease.

Strategize.

That's... ridiculous.

"Why, you don't want to deny it now, or...are you ready to give up any ridiculous hopes?"

Sakuraba Mitsuki narrowed his eyes, trying to see any trace of bluffing or weakness in this girl.

But unfortunately, Asagiri Ran now seemed to be flawless, and her expression did not waver at all.

The smile on that face, with its confident strength, was like a nail in Sakuraba Mizuki's eyes, a beam of light that was dazzling and uncomfortable.

"I don't know what hope you are talking about, but you can understand one thing now. Under no circumstances will I hate him. How you treat me has nothing to do with him, so think of other ways, Sakuraba Mitsuki, don't be so childish."

After saying this, Asagiri Ran picked up her plate.

Stand up, then turn around.

"Let's go. Of course, I have no objection if you want to eat with her."

After saying this, he left the vicinity of the dining table.

Kujo Nao was stunned for a moment, then immediately picked up the plate and whispered something to Sakuraba Mizuki next to her.

"Sorry, Miss Sakuraba, I have to excuse myself."

Sakuraba Mitsuki didn't react at all, she just looked in the direction of the dinner plate, her expression seemed frozen. No one could see what her expression meant at this moment, but everyone could feel that the temperament of this girl at this moment was called: extremely dangerous.

"What's going on? Hey, hey, Asagiri...what were you guys talking about just now?"

As soon as Kujo Nao and Asagiri Ran came out of the cafeteria, they couldn't help but ask.

Asagiri Ran is feeling very happy now.

Quite cool!

When she saw the astonishment in Sakuraba Mitsuki's eyes and her speechlessness, the feeling of relief in her heart was simply indescribable.

It’s like the peasants who have been oppressed have finally stood up and become the masters of their own destiny.

This wonderful feeling is really hard to describe, but now she understands why boys like to read some superficial and pretentious stories about pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

Because it’s really cool!

"Nothing, just chatting."

"It's nothing? I almost thought you were going to fight... You really have to be careful when you talk to her like this. She's not a kind person. On the contrary, she will definitely take revenge. No matter what you said today, you have to be careful..."

Seeing that Nao Kujo seemed very worried about herself.

Asagiri Ran felt a little uncomfortable. It turned out that she was really the kind of person who thought she was strong. She would feel warm when being comforted and cared for by others, but she forced herself to be disgusted.

It's really terrible.

She took a deep breath and shook her head.

"Don't worry. It's okay. She won't use cheap tactics against me because she'll think it's self-deprecating. But it's also her own cleverness. Don't worry."

“Hmm? What do you mean? I don’t understand. Oh, why are you still caring about Oreki-san’s affairs?”

"You have so many questions."

"Uh... sorry."

Kujo Nao then remembered that this girl's personality was that she hated trouble and didn't like being asked questions. She seemed to have gotten a little carried away. Friendships weren't reliable, right...

But unexpectedly, the next moment Asagiri Ran looked at her, and said with slightly blushing cheeks.

"But thank you for your concern. These things are hard to talk about now, and I don't really want to talk about them. Maybe after a while, if you still want to hear it... I'll tell you."

Kujo Nao widened her eyes in disbelief.

Is this what Asagiri Ran said?

How come you seem... so gentle and considerate?

"I'm always available to listen to whatever you want to say!"

Nao Kujo excitedly grabbed Asagiri Ran's hands.

The girl was suddenly embarrassed, but she seemed unable to break free.

Never mind...let's just leave it at that.

Why should we be so self-righteous as to resist these things...as long as there is no malicious intent, it's fine, right?

It turns out that what is more annoying than trouble is... missing out and regret.

-

Sakuraba Jianyue stood up.

She had a blank expression on her face and exuded a cold aura.

Although she was indeed extremely charming, everyone instinctively began to retreat when they saw this girl walking in one direction.

It was as if a huge threat was approaching them.

Everyone realizes that anyone who is noticed by this girl... is bound to be up to no good.

Everybody knows.

How could Oreki Gen not know this?

He had already put down his chopsticks in advance and straightened his clothes and collar.

Matsuyama Shota on the opposite side was still a little strange.

"What are you doing? Have you finished eating?"

Oreki Gen shook his head and looked at the other person with some emotion, his eyes filled with a determination to face death head-on.

"No more eating. There's no time."

"What do you mean no time... there's still time for lunch break, what are you talking about?"

"No, I said I don't have much time."

"Ah? What's wrong with you? Are you sick?!"

"No, it's something more serious than being sick."

"What the hell are you talking about? Even though I don't understand anything, I feel like this is something serious!"

Oreki Gen reached out and patted the back of the other person's hand which was placed on the table.

Then he said with emotion.

"If I never show up again, please find my phone."

"Why are you looking for your phone...wait, do you have something to leave for your brother?"

"No, please destroy my phone and don't let any data leak out, thank you."

"..."

Shota Matsuyama is still confused.

The next moment, he felt an inexplicably cold breath coming not far from him.

what happened?

Although winter is coming...it won’t be so cold that it chills me to the bone, right?

Then the moment he looked up, he understood everything.

With trembling lips, he looked at the young men opposite him who were sitting upright, like heroes ready to be killed.

"Take care...my forever brother."

Oreki Gen also seemed very moved.

"Save..."

"It seems like we are saying goodbye forever. If I don't do this, I will be really sorry for your deep friendship."

Sakuraba Jianyue's gaze dropped.

Oreki Gen stood up immediately.
