Tokyo: I took in a homeless girl

This restaurant brings up many memories for him. Not only is it the place where he used to date Mana, but it was also the first time in his life that he had entered a high-end restaurant.

When he was in high school, he moved from a small rural town in Osaka to Tokyo to study, but happened to be in the same class with Miyazawa Mana.

At that time, the other person's appearance was undoubtedly the most popular in the whole school. Naturally, Sawayama Haruno, who opened Second Life, could not help but develop some physical attraction to her. However, what really brought the two together was the small matter of borrowing books from the library together.

“It’s been a long time.”

Sawayama Haruno was a little dazed. His first year of high school was more than three years ago, and his high school life in his previous life was even longer ago, so long ago that he even forgot the names and appearances of his classmates at that time.

Just when he was secretly lamenting the passing of time, the "heroine" he had been waiting for tonight finally arrived.

Jingle Bell--

The door of the restaurant was opened from the inside by the waiter, and the wind chimes at the door rang softly, as if welcoming the arrival of this perfect woman.

Sawayama Haruno looked up subconsciously, and amidst the clear and pleasant ringtone, he saw that familiar face. The other person did look exactly like Miyazawa Maki, but there seemed to be something different.

She has willow-shaped eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, her pupils are like dots of lacquer, and her soft long hair cascades down like a waterfall to a position slightly above the waist. Her skin is as white as jade and as smooth as cream. It is so smooth that one can't help but wonder if you will sink into it if you poke it lightly.

She is undoubtedly a truly perfect beautiful girl.

Unlike Maki, who always has a cold face and looks at people with contempt and disdain when she is outside, Mana seems to be smiling all the time.

Her eyes were not cold, but rather very gentle, revealing an inexplicably gentle temperament. Even if the waiter next to her couldn't help trembling in his welcoming voice, she would look him in the face to express her gratitude.

"Can such a person really have that kind of quirk?"

For some reason, Sawayama Haruno suddenly remembered what Maki said to him in the cafeteria at noon today.

It is hard to believe that Miyazawa Mana would have such a "secret". It's not that people don't have another side of themselves, but how could someone who looks so dignified and elegant, perfect on the surface, have such desires in private?

Perhaps due to his first impression, he couldn't associate the "Mana" mentioned by Maki with the girl in front of him.

"Does it look good?"

When Sawayama Haruno came to his senses, the other party had already sat down in front of him.

"I prepared carefully for a long time before going out. After all, I was going to meet my ex-boyfriend tonight."

Seeing his stunned reaction, Miyazawa Mana couldn't help laughing. She teased, "So, which one was better, the first time we came here to eat?"

"next time."

Sawayama Haruno said without hesitation.

"Huh? There are some unexpected answers."

Miyazawa Mana was stunned for a moment, as if she had not expected Sawayama Haruno's answer.

She tried to tease the other party with such ambiguous words, but ended up being counter-attacked.

But even so, the surprised look on Miyazawa Mana's face made others' heartbeats slightly faster.

"It's been a while since we last met, and it seems Haruno has made a lot of progress in chatting with girls," Miyazawa Mana quickly realized, smiling. "Even back at school, he didn't even bother looking at me."

“I can’t see it even if I want to.”

Sawayama Haruno couldn't help but chuckle. "The only classes we can attend together are large ones. You always sit so close to the front, surrounded by a bunch of classmates. Even with your best eyesight, it's hard to see clearly, right?"

"If you want to see it, Haruno can come sit with me next time."

Miyazawa Mana pouted.

The waiter brought the menu at the right time. After taking it, Miyazawa Mana stopped joking with Sawayama Haruno.

That's right, it was just a joke, and Sawayama Haruno himself was well aware of it.

The basis for this judgment is very simple. If the two were still dating, Miyazawa Mana would choose to sit in the back row.

Chapter 22 I hate treating breakup as a joke

After ordering from the waiter, Sawayama Haruno picked up the glass of water on the table and took a sip.

He was thinking about how to talk about Maki. Not only did he have to find a way to solve this problem, but he also had to think about how to get out the "truth".

Even if the answer cannot be obtained, at least some useful information can be obtained, so that the system's task should be able to change again.

However, this matter involves the privacy of the other party's family after all. Sawayama Haruno felt that it would be a bit impolite to ask directly. Fortunately, Miyazawa Mana, who was sitting opposite him, easily saw through his inner thoughts.

As a gentle sister, she hesitated for a moment before asking, "Has Maki caused you too much trouble these past two days?"

".It's not that troublesome."

Sawayama Haruno's eyes wandered for a moment, and for some reason the first thing he thought of was the beauty of this afternoon.

Maki Miyazawa leaned softly on him, sucking his index finger gently. The irresistible feeling seemed to be still fresh in his memory.

The main reason why she doesn't remember it clearly is that there was someone who looked exactly like her sitting opposite her.

Just by thinking along this line, it seems that one can imagine that it is actually Miyazawa Mana who is serving him extremely gently.

What's more, the other person's personality is the type that will obey the person he likes. This can be seen when they were dating in the past. Otherwise, as a good girl, Miyazawa Mana would never go on a trip with him, let alone have a further relationship with him.

"What's wrong? You look a little strange."

Mana Miyazawa, who was sitting opposite, was a little puzzled. She thought that it was her sister who had caused the other party a lot of trouble, and when she looked at her again, there was a lot of guilt in her eyes.

"Maki must have been acting like a spoiled brat again. That's why she had a fight with her mother and ended up running away from home." Miyazawa Mana sighed slightly, "This may have something to do with me too. I didn't notice the change in her mentality before she entered higher education, and ended up like this."

".She said it had something to do with you, but I think it was her own problem."

Sawayama Haruno picked up the water cup and took two big gulps to suppress the inexplicable "irritability" in his heart.

He cleared his throat and whispered, "At noon today, Maki came to school. A classmate might have mistaken her for you and dragged her over to eat with us."

"Huh? Could it be that she ran into Haruno again?"

"Well, I was having dinner with my friends at the time, and then we sat together."

Sawayama Haruno paused, then smiled helplessly and explained, "She said something she shouldn't have said in front of other people. It happened when we were traveling in Atami before. You may hear these rumors when you go to school next week."

"Atami?"

Miyazawa Mana was obviously stunned for a moment.

What happened? She remembered that she had not told Maki.

No, it’s not that I didn’t say it, but the other party didn’t want to hear it.

"What did she say?" Miyazawa Mana hesitated. "She didn't say anything to embarrass Haruno, just because of me?"

"I'm fine. It doesn't affect me. But it's not good to let her talk nonsense like that." Zeshan Haruno shrugged and said casually, "You should worry about yourself. What she said at noon was really too much."

"Really, this guy Maki"

Miyazawa Mana puffed up her cheeks and looked a little angry.

But Sawayama Haruno, who knew her well, knew that she was just pretending and that in fact it was impossible for her to be angry with her twin sister.

Unlike Maki who hates her sister, Mana cherishes her sister, but even if she cherishes her, there are times when she finds it difficult to notice.

For example, when she was in high school, Miyazawa Mana neglected her sister's depressed heart because of herself, and in the third grade, she was fully preparing for the entrance examination. It was not until Miyazawa Maki completely began to give up on herself that she reacted, but it was too late by then.

But even so, Mana never gave up on her. Judging from her various attitudes, she undoubtedly regarded Maki as her closest person.

In other words, the "secret" that Maki told might really be Mana's inner thoughts, which she herself told her twin sister implicitly.

Do you want to ask the other party here?

When asked about the truth behind the breakup, was it related to this somewhat bizarre habit?

"I said, Mana."

Sawayama Haruno's eyes darkened slightly, and his voice unconsciously lowered.

"It may be a little too late to ask now, but I feel that if I don't ask clearly, I will always be entangled in this issue in the future, so."

"Ok?"

Miyazawa Mana tilted her head, a little confused.

"Why did you break up with me in the first place?" Sawayama Haruno asked softly.

He chose to ask the other party directly because there was no need to beat around the bush. Miyazawa Mana knew him too well. Even if he held back and didn't ask, she would see through his inner thoughts if he chatted for a few more sentences.

"Why do we need to break up?"

After hearing Sawayama Haruno's question, Miyazawa Mana was obviously stunned.

She gently grasped the small tie at her collar, revealing a somewhat troubled expression.

The pair of beautiful legs that were covered under the dining table were twisting and turning somewhat embarrassedly, as if expressing the girl's embarrassment.

"Well, how do I put it?"

Miyazawa Mana looked away for the first time in a long time. She bit her lip and hesitated for a long time before slowly saying, "Why are you asking this now?"

"Can't you ask?"

"No, it's not that I can't ask." Miyazawa Mana's hands loosened and tightened, and finally she showed a helpless smile and said, "Because, when I said I wanted to break up before, Haruno agreed without hesitation. It's too much to ask me why we broke up now."

"Since you know me so well, you should know that I am the kind of person who hates to treat breakups as a joke, right?"

Zeshan Haruno said softly: "Since you are so clear about this, but you still want to bring it up, that's why I agreed so straightforwardly at that time."

"Yes, I know this myself," Miyazawa Mana murmured.

The little hand that was originally clenching the collar had moved to the ends of the hair without anyone noticing.

She was playing with her soft long hair with her fingers and gently shaking her beautiful legs under the table. She looked like a confused and dazed girl.

But the words that came out of her mouth made her intentions very clear.

"Did Maki say something?"

"What happened between Haruno and I."

She tilted her head again, and when she looked at Sawayama Haruno, there was something indescribable in her eyes.

"I guess it should be Maki who tells you the truth about why you broke up in the first place based on her own guesses?"

Chapter 23 Mana reveals her hobby

Did the other party guess it?

Sawayama Haruno was shocked, but he soon felt that it was normal to be guessed.

After all, Miyazawa Mana is a smart woman. This time, she is facing her twin sister and her ex-boyfriend with whom she had been dating for a long time.

It would be strange if we couldn't guess what happened, right?

What should he say next? Should he directly admit that Maki betrayed her "little secret" to him, and then ask her if she really wants to see him dating other women?

Why do I feel so immoral and twisted?

"Haruno."

Before Sawayama Haruno could think of a countermeasure, Miyazawa Mana had already stood up and quietly sat next to Sawayama Haruno.

The faint fragrance of the girl instantly came over. Different from the sweet citrus scent on Maki, Mana Miyazawa had a more elegant cedar scent.

This smell is very familiar to Sawayama Haruno. Just a slight sniff can bring back the beautiful memories of the time when the two were still dating and sticking together.

"Haruno, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

Mana Miyazawa, who sat next to Haruno Sawayama, leaned closer to him.

She explained in a very low voice: "I guessed it, what Maki said."

Her eyes seemed to be encouraging, and Sawayama Haruno couldn't help but become absent-minded after just one glance.

The other party is not just a good girl on the outside, she also has another side that is unknown to others. The seductive scene she is showing now is what is hidden.

Sawayama Haruno thought that Maki was indeed far inferior to Mana in this respect. Maki seemed extremely clumsy and had a cute, foolish look, while Mana was a real temptation. If it weren't for the experience of two lives, an ordinary novice would probably have fallen into it.

"So it's true?"

Zeshan Haruno's eyes regained clarity in just a moment, and he said in a deep voice: "Do you really have that kind of thought about me?"

"That's it."

Miyazawa Mana admitted it readily.

She stuck out her tongue and said slyly, "After all, I am not very obedient in my heart. Doesn't Haruno know this very well?"
