The heroines want love

"Elementary school students watching Dazai Osamu?"

"Yes. At that time, I liked to say 'I'm sorry for being born a human' and took this as my motto. Then one day, a boy in the same class asked me 'Why don't you want to be a human?' I replied: 'School is tiring, right? If I become a pet dog, I just need to stay at home every day, with clothes and food provided for me.' The next day, I had a new nickname in the class, called 'Pochi'."

Pochi is a common name for dogs in the island country.

"so poor."

Yang Nai covered her lips lightly and couldn't stop laughing.

"Pochi-kun...it sounds cute. I'll call you that from now on, okay?"

"Don't call me that! Do you think it's fun to uncover someone else's bloody wound?" Asakura Yu pretended to be angry, and actually he looked a bit like a puppy.

"Now that you've said it, it means you don't care, right?"

Yangno's eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts, and Asakura Yu felt that his inner heart was exposed in front of her.

She continued, “The past that people can joke about is something they have already let go of and is called memories.”

"Does Sister Yang Nai have any memories worth talking about?"

When asked, Yang Nai lowered his head and looked at the river not far away.

"My previous life was very boring. You wouldn't find it interesting if I told you about it."

Following the rules and doing things according to her mother's arrangements, this was Yang Nai's past.

"Don't trust people, don't trust other people, just like the cruel king in the story..."

But it’s so tiring to live with a mask on all the time.

Is it okay for me to try to let down my guard and take a short break next to this boy whom I had only met twice?

Yang couldn't help but think so.

Chapter 37 Who should be punished the most? (1 update in advance)

Riverside.

Asakura Yu told the girl, a girl he had only met twice, and third time including this time, about his experience with Saki Kawasaki last time.

"...I can't think of a better way. If it were Sister Yang Nao, what would you do?"

"Out of emotion, I will help her as a friend, but it's hard to do it by relying on one person alone, right? So, out of reason, I will ask the teacher to discuss with the parents." Yang No looked into his eyes and said word by word: "Pochi-kun, do you want to be a hero?"

But you will gain nothing by doing this except being hated.

Saki Kawasaki gave up the right approach, acted willfully for once, stopped struggling, and chose to go to college. Daishi Kawasaki helped his sister and satisfied the passion and restlessness of adolescence. Kawasaki parents were respected by their children.

What about you?

Being considered by Saki Kawasaki as taking advantage of her brother, although the result is good, she will be hated in the process. This choice is not elegant and does not conform to the aesthetics you talk about.

Even if it is not perfect, why should we do it?

Compared to perfection...you actually care more about failure, or are you afraid of setbacks?

"Call the teacher?"

"Yes. Adults are communicating with adults, and you know there are channels like scholarships, so why not ask for help from teachers who are more suitable for the situation at that time?" Yang No gave Asakura Yuu a charming smile.

Then he said in a firm tone:

"You think that asking adults for help in this matter is a failure, right? I don't think you can't think of such a simple thing, but you thought of it, but didn't do it."

Oops, she saw through me completely.

Obviously, Minister Yukinoshita didn't notice this.

Asakura Yu explained why he didn't seek help: "If a bird wants to fly, it can't rely on the wind. What if it accidentally falls to a place without wind one day?"

Maybe he'll die miserably?

“But if you go with the wind, the flight will be smoother.”

"I can take advantage of the breeze, but not the strong wind. It will make me lose the meaning of existence. It's the same with or without me. I can move without flapping my wings, so why should I fly?"

"In order to show off your own ability, are you actively excluding adults who can solve the problem roughly?" Yangno said to himself.

interesting! So interesting!

Pochi-kun, your heart is more complicated than I thought!

Yukinoshita Haruno thought that the social mask she had worn over the years was complicated enough, but she didn't expect to meet a boy like this.

She tried to understand Asakura Yuu's thinking on this matter, but of course, it might not be accurate.

First, he contacted Saki Kawasaki under the pretext of delivering information to find out the details, but was dissuaded by the other party due to practical reasons.

Then, after learning about the scholarship from his friends, he thought of two solutions. One: ask the teacher for help, and the other: use family factors to persuade. Of course, there is a premise here: Saki Kawasaki's parents do not know their daughter's true thoughts.

Finally, Kawasaki Daishi was commissioned to perform a play as a passionate male protagonist on stage.

As the director who controls the stage, Asakura Yu also ended beautifully. Kawasaki Daishi didn't even feel like he was being used. He was still helping to count the money after being sold. Only Kawasaki Saki noticed something strange.

Besides that, another reason why he was able to successfully control the scene was that Kawasaki's parents really loved their children.

Without such prerequisites, no matter how gratifying Kawasaki Daishi's performance was, the two would not give in.

"You must be feeling pretty good about being a secret hero, right? You manipulated two adults and a middle school student to get a peer to follow your path..."

Yukinoshita Haruno felt that this person was terrible!

But she couldn't stop herself from getting to know this boy, he was so interesting!

"If you can fly smoothly without the help of wind by holding a thorn in your mouth, what would you do?" Yang Nai asked another question.

If only there was a perfect way.

What would you choose if it could hurt you?

Use it to create a world where only you are hurt? Like the protagonist of a tragic play...

Or leave the thorns behind? Give up this approach.

But unexpectedly, Asakura Yu gave a third answer -

"I will remove the thorns from the bush so that they cannot hurt me!"

“That’s a good idea indeed.”

After receiving this answer, Yang Nai looked at him deeply.

I want to live a beautiful life, but I am afraid of getting hurt...

You are really interesting, Pochi-kun.

This topic is brought to an end for now.

Next, the conversation between the two turned to Dazai Osamu's novels.

“Although Melos saved his friend in the end and made the king trust the sinister human heart again, I think the development of the matter was too simple.”

Asakura Yuu said with reason:

"The king who has always distrusted people's hearts, first killed his brother-in-law, then killed his heir, the prince, and then the princess, the queen, and the wise ministers. How could such a person change his evil ways because of Meles?"

In any case, the king is the one who should be punished the most, right? Why can he, the mastermind behind the incident, live so gloriously?

Yukinoshita Haruno thought: "Mellers experienced robbers and heavy rain on the way, and tried his best to reach the execution ground at the last moment. The possibility of the king being moved is low, but it is not impossible."

People must learn to believe in miracles. After all, sometimes we are so desperate that we can only believe in such vague and illusory things.

Otherwise, you won’t be able to survive.

"It is more likely that the king's intentions are not that simple. He may test Meles a second time? Until the moment when human hearts can no longer withstand the test."

"Men with dark hearts are not popular." Yang No said, rolling her eyes at him.

Asakura Yuu saw that she was a little unhappy, so he quickly changed the subject:

"Speaking of which, I really envy people like you who live freely like the wind, it's great."

Not caring about other people's opinions, she did not check whether there was mud in the water before jumping into the water to pick up her schoolbag, and she also ignored the eyes of people around her... This was a very casual approach.

"You're over-glamorizing me. I'm not as free as you say."

Yang No didn't know what he had misunderstood. She went into the water just because she thought of the bullying her sister Yukino had suffered in elementary school, and the despair of feeling sorry for her sister but being unable to do anything about it.

If she were faced with any other situation, she would be more likely to use mature methods rather than rash actions such as diving.

"... Sister Yang No, please, let me project some of my admiration onto you." Asakura Yuu complained, "I don't see you a few times a month anyway, so why don't you just be a super free and free-spirited person in my mind?"

"Well... I'll try my best." Yang No said in a negotiating tone: "Then let's continue to maintain this unexpected relationship. I will be the admirable and caring big sister, and you will be the outstanding and nice junior. This is the best way."

She wanted to try to let down her guard and find someone she could talk to.

"But... I'm already disillusioned with you."

Is it too early to be disillusioned? I still have a lot of charm! For example, my breasts are very plump.

Just when Yang No was about to refute, Asakura Yuu stood up and said:

“But I think this is fine.”

If you get too close, you won't be able to have a frank conversation.

If you get too far away, there will be no chance for conversation.

So, this distance is just right.

"Sister Yang Nai, I still have to work, so I'll leave first."

After saying this, he waved goodbye and left the riverside like a gust of wind.

Chapter 38 Silence of the Lambs

One day near June.

Inside the office.

Shizuka Hiratsuka sat in her office seat, holding her homework paper. After taking a deep breath, she said the words she had said to Asakura Yu countless times in her memory:

"Asakura! Take your homework back and correct it for me!"

Every time when it came time to write an article, Asakura Yuu would always give her a 'surprise'.

She had already tasted enough of last year’s - [I want to be a person as warm as the sun], [Lonely people will eventually die], [Methods to maintain a beautiful yet false atmosphere].

Today’s article [The Fate of the Lamb] is even more important!

"Your writing always makes me clearly aware of the dark side of modern male high school students." Hiratsuka Shizuka said in a sighing tone: "Asakura, what is the topic of our homework this time, do you remember?"

"I'm about to start my internship, so I have to write an article about my future career... no less than 600 words." Asakura Yuu finished speaking and explained: "Teacher Hiratsuka, you listen to my excuses... No, listen to me."

Hiratsuka Shizuka crossed her legs and looked at him: "I want to hear your nonsense and twisted ideas."

"In the Bible, the lamb also means the common people."

"and then?"

"Teacher Hiratsuka, have you ever heard of the saying - lambs to the slaughter?"

"Go on." Shizuka Hiratsuka looked straight into his eyes, with a sense of oppression.

"Why didn't the sheep resist when it was about to die? No, the sheep actually considered resisting, but the butcher covered its mouth and tied its hands and feet. It witnessed its own flesh being cut off and its heart stopped beating, but it could do nothing. So people say - 'Sheep are so docile' and 'Sheep are so selfless'."

"You mean, society is the butcher and you are the lamb to be slaughtered?"

You need to cure your chuunibyou, Asakura-san.

"No." Asakura Yu shook his head:

"Jia Yi said in "On the Past and Present of Qin" that 'the way to govern the people is to keep them safe.' The emperor only needs to maintain fresh grass, and the people, the lambs, can be slaughtered at any time. This article is a mockery of those blind people who follow the trend. ... As long as there is a leader, the sheep will start to eat wherever they go without worries, and will not move until they bite the grass roots off. That is why psychology calls the herd effect the 'herd effect'."

"Then what?" Hiratsuka Shizuka's expression became serious.

Although Asakura Yu's writing is full of nonsense, it is indeed very interesting.

"Mr. Hiratsuka, please read the last sentence of the article."
