Faced with the blackened heroine, they actually stopped time

Oreki Gen looked at the other person in confusion.

She has the ability to read minds, but I don't, so I can't understand what the other person is thinking. Moreover, even the Eye of Truth that can detect lies can only be used on the other person once a day.

Where is the best place to put it? Oreki Xian hasn't seen this node yet.

Sayuri Yukino sighed, then looked at the young man and spoke softly.

"My meaning is very simple. You did make a lot of efforts to achieve this effect on New Year's Eve. They both gave each other gifts that looked pretty good."

"Well, it's just good. It can't be said to be sincere."

Oreki Gen replied, "It's hard for these two to truly consider each other, okay? And I don't think it's necessary to go to this extent. Some people are born to be incompatible, and it's unrealistic to force two people with completely contradictory personalities to become close friends."

Sayuri Yukino blinked at Oreki Gen.

"If that's the case, how can you avoid hurting any of them?"

This seems to be an eternal problem, a mountain that seems to be forever insurmountable before Oreki Gen.

How these two people will get along in the future seems to be unclear so far.

Rather, it is impossible to imagine such a scene, although on New Year's Eve, when I sent Asagiri Ryou home, I seemed to see some hope.

But he also understood that it was a rare favor given to him by Sakuraba Mitsuki.

And it doesn't come at no cost.

The only possibility I can think of is that it might continue tacitly, but no one is willing to reveal the only layer of window paper.

But...if that's the case, what's the point?

A building without a good foundation will collapse.

Bridges that cut corners will break.

A relationship built on lies and guilt will also break down.

It's not the best way after all.

So Sayuri Yukino's considerations make sense, but... Oreki Gen can see the real situation better.

If one of them really needs to change his or her personality to achieve such an ending, that is not what Oreki Gen wants to see.

Because this means that one of them is quite wronged, and it would be sad enough for both of them. If they were to have such memories and experiences, would the ending be happy?

Hard to say.

Oreki Gen sighed and shook his head.

"I don't know... It seems to be just like the journey of life. Only when you reach a certain place and move forward far enough, can you see the possible results. But you, senior..."

Oreki Xian seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.

The girl winked at the boy.

"What's wrong with me?"

"Isn't it a little weird that you suddenly care about this kind of thing?"

Of course, Oreki Gen couldn't let this problem go.

Sayuri Yukino's eyes kept flashing, like the stars in the daytime. In simple terms, it was a treasure that should not exist in this world.

She is undoubtedly good-looking and attractive.

However, the purpose of her various actions and words is also the strangest.

It is impossible to capture accurately.

It's like a being floating outside the normal human world.

"Is it weird? Well, as my junior and a cute boy, it's normal for me to consider you, right?"

"Do you think this reason can convince you?"

Oreki Gen didn't believe this reason at all.

People are all profit-seeking. Those who don't act like they want something that much may simply be unable to obtain it and have no confidence.

But the nature of human beings is that they don’t care about things that have nothing to do with themselves. They won’t pay much attention to things that have no stake in them, and they are too lazy to participate.

The more generous and selfless one is, the more abnormal he is.

Sayuri Yukino smiled cutely.

"If you think it's not the case, can you give me a reason?"

Oreki Gen shook his head.

"How should I know? Maybe you just want to watch the fun? Or maybe you think this kind of thing is interesting and want to be a researcher and get a sense of accomplishment, just like solving a mystery?"

"That sounds like a good motive, but unfortunately it's not the case."

"what is that?"

"I told you, I'm just thinking about you, I hope you can be happy."

This sentence is heartwarming.

But it still doesn't seem so real.

Oreki Gen suddenly thought of it.

Why do you think the other person is not real? Because this does not conform to your common sense.

So, when I keep saying that I want those girls to be happy, do these words sound absurd and unreal to them?

Looking at Oreki Gen's slightly stunned expression.

Sayuri Yukino raised the corners of her beautiful lips and smiled beautifully.

"What's wrong? Do you suddenly find this kind of talk funny?"

"...Senior, did you say that on purpose?"

Oreki Gen leaned against the tree helplessly, and then he saw Sayuri Yukino who was smiling happily.

Some even staggered forward and backward.

The sunlight shone on her white legs, reflecting an alluring white luster.

It looks like an ice cream that will melt at any time, making you want to taste it before it melts.

"I must have said that on purpose, because that's what I thought. But now you should also know how unreliable it is to say that, right?"

"Although I don't want to admit it, it's true."

"so what?"

"You can't just give up, or you'll become a scumbag."

Oreki Gen said so.

Sayuri Yukino hooked her white and slender fingers towards Oreki Gen.

"what?"

Oreki Gen asked in confusion.

The girl said with a smile.

"Come to me."

Although Oreki Gen was a little confused, he still walked over and stood beside Sayuri Yukino, looking at the sea surface with ripples and shining golden light from the same angle as her.

The white waves hit the coastline, breaking one after another and coming back again and again.

It seems like it will never stop.

"What's wrong? You want me to see the sea?"

Oreki Gen asked.

The girl moved closer to Oreki Gen's shoulder.

Her hair was blown by the sea breeze, and her beautiful face seemed to be unveiled.

Every strand of hair was as shiny and beautiful as her lips.

"Oreki-san."

"Ok?"

“I hope you succeed.”

"ah...?"

Oreki Gen looked at the other's pretty face in confusion.

Under the sunshine, she seems more beautiful than the sea.

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

“I hope that I can watch the sea here with you every year. So Oreki-san, please succeed. Succeed and live a happy life.”

"...It's a bit like explaining your final wishes."

Oreki Gen couldn't help but laugh.

The girl gently touched Oreki Gen's shoulder with her head.

Natural intimacy and irresistible ambiguity.

She slightly restrained her smile and sank gently.

The voice naturally sank.

"Because they are all very good girls, and you are a miracle in my opinion."

A miracle?

Chapter 18: I want them all!

Oreki Gen didn't know whether it was worthy of the evaluation of a miracle.

But he knew that if he could really live according to his expectations.

Then it must be a miracle.

But the hero’s job is to constantly create miracles, right?

They walked along the beach for a while before they were about to go home.

Instead of taking a taxi, the two chose a more cost-effective way, which was to take the subway.

"Bang--"

"Bang--"

Occasionally, one could hear the carriage rocking slightly and the sound of the car passing over the tracks.

The constant broadcast of station announcements made Oreki Xian wonder whether the long journey of life was also like a subway.

Everyone has his or her own destination and people he or she will definitely meet.

It may not be a stop, but it can be a real encounter, or just a passing by after a fleeting glance.

That's it.

So many people are so good at separation and missing that perseverance seems so precious.

“I’m not going to college.”

Suddenly, Oreki Gen heard the words spoken by the girl sitting next to him while looking at her cell phone.

It's very easy, just like telling someone what you ate today.

Oreki Gen was stunned.

"Really? That seems a pity."

"Why is it a pity?"

"Because I think that maybe college life is also a novel experience, meeting different people, having different stories and so on..."

"Is there still room for me to continue living carefree and like a child?"

Sayuri Yukino stated the reason that Oreki Gen didn't say.
