Faced with the blackened heroine, they actually stopped time

"It took me a while to find Shinomiya and Dojima. I've been busy with this since the holiday until today. Of course, I didn't do it myself. There's a fax posted at the back. It's from those places I couldn't go to. The kids who helped me with that comic convention expressed their gratitude to you. As for the others, they're just your old friends."

She held the small, yet thick and heavy book tightly in her hand.

He asked with a trembling voice.

"Why do this?"

Why go to this extent for yourself?

It’s obvious that they usually hate my arrangements, and I’ve clearly seen what’s in their hearts, but they don’t seem to be particularly grateful to me.

But why...at this moment, it seems like a hardworking farmer has finally been rewarded with a good harvest?

She doesn't understand.

Asagiri Ran looked around and said nothing, just looking at Oreki Gen and Sakuraba Mizuki.

No one wanted to stop her from giving the answer, or rather, everyone was curious about her answer.

Asagiri breathed a sigh of relief.

"Nothing. I said, I don't really know you. I'm not good at understanding anyone. So I don't know why you gave up cosplay, and I don't know what you will choose to do after leaving high school. I don't know these things. But the only thing I know is..."

Asagiri Ran's eyes stared into Sayuri Yukino's eyes, staring straight into each other's.

"No matter who it is, no matter how they give, no one wants their efforts to go unrewarded, even if it's just a simple thank you. Senior sister, you are disappointed with human nature, so you have such a big change after gaining the ability to read minds, right? Now you can see that at least these people will remember your kindness."

Oreki Gen remembered that he had never told Asagiri Ryou about this.

This is why Sayuri Yukino suddenly gave up a lot of things in her senior year of high school, such as her hobby of COS, her relationships with other classmates, and even the establishment of the so-called Ultimate Human Club.

But it is true that because Sayuri Yukino can see through people's hearts, she feels that many things about the people around her are not worthy of her treatment.

Only then will you give up the people-pleasing personality that seeks to fit in with the people around you.

Sayuri Yukino looked at the looks in the eyes of these three people, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on her face.

"Senior, wipe it off."

Oreki Gen handed over a tissue, and this time Sakuraba Kentsuki did not stop him.

Sayuri Yukino wiped her face and eyes.

Although the redness and swelling were still somewhat obvious, her mood had now calmed down.

She let out a long sigh.

Then he looked at the endless night view outside the window and said softly.

"In fact, I have always felt that in establishing this club and letting you join, I have assumed the role of an observer. I have observed your every word and action, the changes in your interactions, and the continuous development of your relationship. It is as if I am standing out from it, as if I will be the only one in this club who will not change."

Then she smiled bitterly and shook her head, she picked up the wine glass on the table and raised it up.

Smiling and looking at everyone.

"Ren-chan is right. No one can stay out of this world. I am very lucky to meet you at this final stage of my high school life. Cheers."

"boom."

No one refused a toast at this time.

It seems like no one would refuse this soothing and slightly sad music flowing into their ears.

After calming down, Sayuri Yukino looked at Asagiri Ran.

"Okay, what about the second gift?"

Asagiri Ran raised her head and looked at Sakuraba Mitsuki who was sitting opposite her, and Sakuraba Mitsuki naturally looked at Asagiri Ran.

At this moment, it is like being on the battlefield. Although there is a simple unspoken rule that kings do not meet each other, at certain moments, when two armies are facing each other, the meeting between the generals of both sides is the climax of the whole story.

The two people's eyes met, but there was no tense atmosphere as Oreki Gen had imagined.

How should I put it...you two are almost there.

The more I read on, the more I feel like my head is glowing green!

"What makes you think I'll give you a gift?"

Asagiri Ran took the bag but didn't take anything out immediately.

Sakuraba Jianyue chuckled.

"First of all, you're definitely not giving me a gift just for me, right?"

Asagiri's eyes wrinkled.

Oreki Gen thinks you two should just have a good chat. Don’t look at me, I don’t know anything.

Sakuraba Mitsuki continued.

"So I know you will give it to me, but I still can't think of what gift you will give me. I am a very demanding person, especially after seeing the gift you gave to your senior. If mine is not as good as that, I will not accept it."

Is this an obvious challenge? Perhaps not, but it is definitely a kind of invisible pressure.

At least Oreki Gen felt that it would be difficult for Asagiri Ryou to care about Sakuraba Mizuki as much as she cared about Sayuri Yukino.

After all, she had no reason to do so.

So... what could it be.

She lowered her eyes slightly and spoke as she opened the bag.

"Like I said, I don't know you very well, so I don't know if you like it or not. But I thought about this for a long time before preparing it for you."

"Really? I'm looking forward to it."

Under the gaze of everyone gathered together.

Asagiri Ran took out an item.

It was a jade plate with some mottled colors on it. It was obvious that the texture was not of particularly good quality. There were also some runes carved on it, and the carving did not look very skillful.

When she took out the jade token, she said softly.

"This is the jade pendant my mother gave me. She said it can bless me with good luck forever."

A very simple sentence and a very simple jade pendant that looked like it would not be expensive in terms of market price were placed in front of everyone.

Her mother's legacy?

Oreki Gen thought of this concept.

And Sakuraba narrowed his eyes when he saw the moon.

"But Asagiri Ran, I remember that you yourself haven't had very good luck."

Asagiri Ran didn't look up, she just looked at the jade token.

"I am in poor health and often get sick. Even a fever can kill me, so I think it is this jade pendant that has kept me alive until now. Of course, you can treat it as a lie. You don't have to accept it, and I will return your gift."

The atmosphere seemed to suddenly become silent.

Because Sakuraba Mitsuki didn't say anything, anyone who saw her would think that Sakuraba Mitsuki was dissatisfied with the gift.

But Oreki Gen knew what this small thing represented. It might be the only relic left to her by Asagiri Ran's mother.

Of course, it was nothing to Sakuraba Mizuki, who had everything he needed.

But this is the only thing that Asagiri Ran can offer. She has no money, no family behind her, and she has no way to create anything.

So what gift can be given to this girl who has everything she needs?

What was left was the illusory luck that she had always insisted on and believed in.

So when Sakuraba Mitsuki didn't say anything, Sayuri Yukino couldn't help but narrow her eyes, and Asagiri Ran's hands were clenched tightly in a hidden corner.

Oreki Xian stretched out his hand and took the jade pendant.

Then he smiled and looked at the three girls.

"How about giving this to me?"

PS: The new book has a new name: "I am the villain in the second week, but they have fallen into evil". If you can't find it, just search for this~

Chapter 129: Are you kidding me?

Oreki Gen's sudden hand stretched out made everyone's attention shift to the boy's face.

Oreki Gen knew that this was not a good idea, but it was the only solution available at the moment.

At this moment, on such a special day, he didn't want anyone to get hurt tonight. It was inevitable, so he could only resort to this last resort.

He also knew that Asagiri Ryou should be able to see through his purpose, and he also knew that his current acting skills were not that great.

But now he is the only one who can do this, and he has no reason to stay out of it.

The moment he picked up the jade token, Chao Wu Ran's brows frowned slightly.

"You don't have to do this. If she doesn't accept it, just give it back to me."

"Oreki string."

Sakuraba Jianyue spoke and looked at the boy.

Oreki Gen paused and looked at her.

Then she held out her hand, "It's my gift, what are you trying to grab?"

Oreki Gen was actually a little worried. Would she take the jade token and smash it in front of everyone?

But she does seem to have no emotional intelligence, but it seems like she doesn't need to give emotional intelligence or face to anyone.

And she is capable of doing such a thing. She never had much affection for Asagiri Ryou in the first place, and they were even almost mortal enemies at one point. What good could she do?

"I thought you didn't want it."

However, Oreki Xian still handed the jade token to the other party and said something in a pretentious manner.

Sakuraba Jianyue smiled slightly and looked at the jade token in his hand.

"Although it seems to be of ordinary quality, there is a saying that goes, what I can give you is all I have... I didn't expect that Asagiri-san still has deep feelings for me."

"Eh..."

Sayuri Yukino was also a little surprised, as if she didn't expect Sakuraba Mitsuki to say that.

It seems that this sentence is still slightly sarcastic, but when it comes to Sakuraba Mitsuki, it can't be said to be sarcastic at all, it is already quite friendly.

Asagiri Ran narrowed her eyes and looked at Sakuraba Mitsuki, she seemed a little confused.

"Are you pretending to be generous and sympathetic to me?"

Sakuraba Jianyue smiled slightly and held the jade token.

"Why do you think so? I didn't say I sympathized with you, and you were confident in your gift, even though it didn't seem to be worth much."

"If it's not good, you can give it back to me."

"No, I decided to accept it."

Sayuri Yukino thought for a moment, then interrupted.

"Sakuraba-san, the rule is that it is considered a gift only if you accept it sincerely. If you force it, it will be meaningless."

Sakuraba Jianyue put the jade token directly into her bag and looked at the two of them.

"Then let me be clear. I accept this gift because I think it would be nice to take away your only luck."

Luck is an illusory thing.

It's not something that can be borrowed just like that.

But this is obviously the case with Asagiri Ran, and Sayuri Yukino obviously also understood something.

In her opinion, this was a good thing, regardless of whether Sakuraba Mitsuki did not want to embarrass the other party or really wanted to take away the other party's luck.

This result is obviously a good one, at least it avoids the party from being unexpectedly terminated before the New Year's Eve actually arrives.

So she nodded.

"Okay, if that's the case, then Ran-chan, you should have one last gift, right?"

Asagiri Ryou looked at Oreki Gen, at the man who was sitting there, the one who had held her hand and led her upstairs, and who had just been the first to stand up and try to resolve the possible embarrassment for her.

So what kind of gift will she give?

Oreki Gen was very curious, and Sakuraba Mizuki was also very curious, even more curious than about their own gifts.
