Loneliness and Rock and Roll with Band Observer

The two of them blushed at the same time.

“…It’s still a little too early after all.” Aine said softly.

There was an awkward silence between the two.

"Cough cough."

In order to break the awkwardness, Aiyin took the initiative to bring up a new topic.

"I say," she made a guess, "Meow Meng is so passionate, could it be because... she likes you?"

Her tone was very objective, as if she was really just suggesting a possibility.

"Like me?" Qiu Hui was stunned, then shook her head, "I have thought about it, but I still think it is unlikely."

“Why is it unlikely? If there is one, there will be two! Goto-san likes you, so why can’t Meow-kun like you too?” Aine asked back.

"Ichiri probably started to like me because of a series of events that happened after she ended the band," Akie analyzed, "but as for Ms. Meowen, I can't think of any reasonable reason at all..."

“Senior, you’re struggling with reasons again!” Aine protested, “Why would you need so many reasons to like something like this? Can’t it just be ordinary love at first sight?”

"Even if it's love at first sight, there must be a reason for falling in love at first sight..." Qiu Hui sighed.

Miss Miao Meng likes me too...

...It really is impossible.

When did I become so lovable?

……

at the same time.

"...You've cleaned up nicely, Yutenji-san."

Togawa Haruna glanced at the tidy living room in front of her and nodded slightly.

She was wearing a smart and elegant suit, as if she had just come out of some pretentious business activities.

"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it... Well, what brings you here?"

Yutenji Wakamushi, who was beside her, looked at the great god in front of her with some fear and trepidation.

Although the two of them look like they are of the same age at first glance, in front of Togawa Haruna, Wakamai looks like an ordinary high school girl.

"There's still some time before the next arrangements..."

Haruna put on slippers, walked to the sofa in the living room, subconsciously adjusted the hem of her skirt, and then sat down properly.

"...So I came to see what my sister's living environment is like."

"Sister?" Ruomai was shocked. "Ms. Haruna, how did you know..."

"What do you think?" Haruna asked back with a cold face.

There was a hint of irony in his expression, but more of it was a kind of numb exhaustion.

"...Oh, yes, I almost forgot." Ruomai smiled awkwardly.

She was able to quickly approach Togawa Akee by sharing Haruna's surveillance network.

So, as the founder of the surveillance network, one can imagine how closely Togawa Haruna monitors her sister.

"Yutenji-san, I came here this time because I want to talk to you about something else."

She called Ruomai to sit next to her.

"To put it simply, I actually want to give you a suggestion."

Haruna turned around and said to the cautious Wakami.

"I think, Yutenji-san, you should find a time..."

"…Tell Akie that I'm spying on her."

Chapter 80: Make a decision when necessary

Yutenji Wakamu's brain suddenly crashed.

"Haru... Haruna-san, you just said..."

Ms. Haruna asked me to report her on my own initiative?

why?

Haruna looked at the horrified Ruomai and shook her head gently.

"You came to me and asked me to help you. Although I agreed to your request at the time, after further consideration, I feel that this arrangement does not seem to be appropriate."

Haruna showed no intention of repeating her own opinion, and continued to explain her approach.

"Akiu will definitely not forgive me for being such a bad sister, but I'm not sure about you, her accomplice."

"If you can make up your mind to break off relations with me and take the initiative to reveal this crucial information to Akie, her impression of you... may not improve, but it may not be too bad either."

She paused for a moment, as if to give Ruomai time to think.

"Wait a minute..." Wakamai still tried to interrupt Haruna's statement, but the latter ignored her.

"But," Haruna changed the subject, "if you didn't reveal this matter voluntarily, but Akie discovered it herself through some method..."

"I think Yutenji-san can foresee what the consequences will be."

Ruomai said nothing more.

After Haruna's guidance, she did realize this.

I…hid my identity, deliberately didn’t reveal my real name, and relied on deliberately arranged “chance encounters” to get closer to her…

Ruomai folded his hands nervously in front of him.

It's not like she hasn't thought about this question.

She just didn't want to think about it.

When she met Qiu Hui in the hotel lobby, she took a gamble that she would not be recognized in her current appearance.

At the beginning, she just hoped to use this little trick to have a normal conversation with Xiaoqiu after a long time.

But as she used the information given by Haruna, the distance between the two of them continued to narrow, until the recent roommate...

After the initial joy faded, the problems that were originally hidden by the excitement gradually surfaced.

"You have invited Akie to live with you... and if I'm not mistaken, she probably still doesn't know your 'true identity' at all, right?"

Haruna expressed her thoughts expressionlessly.

"She will get suspicious sooner or later. If she realizes that you are 'Yutenji Wakamugi', then perhaps she will further doubt how those 'chance encounters' between you came about."

"So far, all the relationships you have established with Akie as 'Nyanmu' are based on completely unreliable premises."

"Hiding your identity is troublesome enough in itself... not to mention that you're involved with me."

Haruna shook her head slightly.

Because of her family background, she has to frequently attend various formal social occasions. Therefore, she knows very well how to use words to make her statements sound warm and welcoming to others.

However, now she almost deliberately abandons all embellishments and expresses her opinions in the most blunt and inhuman way.

She exuded her strength without any concealment, making Yutenji Wakamugi afraid to speak like a student being scolded by his teacher.

Seeing the other person's bewildered expression, Haruna said, "If you have any opinions, you can speak out."

Thanks to Haruna's suggestion, Ruomai no longer felt any psychological burden.

"Oh...Okay, Miss Haruna, I think..."

Ruomai lowered his head slightly and thought for a moment, then spoke uneasily, "...You don't necessarily have to say it out loud."

"Are you confident in your ability to keep a secret?" Haruna asked back.

"What I mean is..." Wakamai said slowly, "...if I tell you, what will you do, Haruna-san?"

She understood Haruna's thoughts.

She wanted me to be a "traitor".

Reporting Haruna's behavior to Akie, describing myself as someone who has "turned back from the wrong path", and putting all the blame on Miss Haruna...

...Isn't this really unfair to Miss Haruna?

This statement made Haruna stunned for a moment.

Then she started laughing in the way an adult would laugh at a child.

"...Yutenji-san."

After laughing, she looked serious.

"Do you still have time to care about me?"

Ruomai was speechless.

"The relationship between the two of you now is entirely based on the premise that you 'hid your identity'." Haruna commented mercilessly, "...How should I put it? On the contrary, I feel that if you had revealed your identity from the beginning, perhaps Akie would not have had too many prejudices against you."

"But, no matter what, you lied to Akie. This is a fait accompli. If you explain it to her, she might forgive you; but if you lied to her and got involved with me..."

"Well, I'm not her, so I'm not sure what she's thinking. But I think if something like this happened, you and Akie..."

Haruna sighed, stood up, and straightened her slightly wrinkled clothes.

"That's all I have to say. I hope these words can provide you with some reference. Of course, as for what to do specifically, that is something you should decide for yourself."

"I have something else to do, so I won't bother you any more."

After Haruna reached the door, she looked back at Meow Meng.

That unkind face, which was about 70% similar to Qiu Hui, revealed a trace of obvious loneliness.

"...By the way, no matter what you plan to do," she added, "it's best to hurry up."

She gave Ruomai one last meaningful look, then opened the door and left Ruomai's residence.

"..."

All this happened so fast that even now, Ruomai has not fully understood and adapted to it.

"I should... confess to Xiaoqiu..."

……wrong.

It's not a confession.

Ruomai's brain actually works pretty well most of the time.

So she realized that Haruna was actually suggesting that she carry out another, even more extreme deception on Xiaoqiu.

"..."

I asked for it on my own initiative.

Whether it was concealing my identity at the beginning or the information provided by Miss Haruna, they were all choices I made on my own initiative in order to get close to Xiaoqiu.

If I put all the subjective malice on Miss Haruna and describe myself as an innocent person who was simply deceived for a moment...

…This is undoubtedly a deception.

If I want to be honest, I must also speak out my true thoughts.

Otherwise, it would be cheating...

……But.

By now, I have already deceived Xiaoqiu.

Changing your mind midway generally doesn't lead to good results.

Even if I confessed to Xiaoqiu, she might not forgive me.

Even if she did forgive me...

Ruomai thought of the other people who had taken that Ferris wheel trip.

There is no shortage of girls around Xiaoqiu now.
