Tokyo: I took in a homeless girl

After taking only a few steps, she hesitated again.

"There's no need to deceive yourself, right?"

Miyazawa Maki stared at the tip of her shoes and muttered as if to herself.

She's just too lazy to think about it, she's not really stupid

She heard clearly the name that Ezaki Suguha called in the bathroom, and the message that Haruno suddenly sent also indirectly confirmed a certain guess in her heart.

After all, how could there be such a coincidence in the world?

In addition, the other party's itinerary for a business trip to Kyoto a few days ago was exactly the same as that of Ezaki Suguha.

Combined with the other party's strange behavior just now, adding all the clues together, even the most dull person would be able to find the clues.

Was the girl who tried to seduce Haruno without her knowing actually Suguha Ezaki?

Miyazawa Maki pursed her lips, not knowing what to do.

The accident happened so suddenly that she didn't even feel angry at all.

It feels very strange, as if things have developed beyond my imagination without me noticing.

Although I knew that Haruno had been in contact with other girls, I never thought it would be Suguha.

Miyazawa Maki was a little confused.

Just at this moment, a trembling, hesitant and confused female voice sounded behind him.

"Maki."

It's Suguha Esaki.

She came out of the bathroom and turned around just in time to see Miyazawa Maki's back.

The other party stood not far from the bathroom door in a posture as if he was about to "leave". Ezaki Suguha just thought about it for a moment and instantly guessed a possibility, and his face suddenly turned pale.

"That, that."

Looking at her friend with her back to her, she opened her mouth but couldn't say a word.

It was as if something was stuck in her throat, making it difficult for her to breathe.

"Oh"

Miyazawa Maki finally turned back.

It’s just that her expression was a little complicated, neither angry nor disappointed, but it was even less likely that she was happy.

It's probably the kind of surprised look of "Why is it you?"

"Well just now, Haruno sent me a message saying that you might be feeling a little unwell."

Miyazawa Maki pretended to recall the content of the text message and slid her finger across the screen meaninglessly.

"That's weird. I'm the one who's with Suguha, right?"

Her gaze drifted back and forth as she whispered, "It seems Haruno knows Suguha's situation better than I do. He didn't say anything more, just told me to hurry over to the restaurant."

"Really? You should have made up a proper reason at a time like this."

“I am actually very easy to deceive.”

Chapter 217 Maki's Love Rival

In the cafe next to the restaurant, two girls sat in silence after ordering.

Ezaki Suguha's face turned slightly pale, and his thoughts were in a mess.

The other party's previous words, "I'm so easy to fool," kept lingering in her mind, making her feel even more guilty.

As for Miyazawa Maki, her idea was much simpler.

“Well, when did it start exactly?”

"Yes, in Kyoto."

"That's it."

Miyazawa Maki curled her lips with an expression that said "I knew it".

After all, her business trip to Kyoto was one of the few times when she didn't notice Haruno. Plus, she had already guessed some clues when they called, so Miyazawa Maki could probably determine the exact time when Suguha and Haruno were entangled.

It's really annoying, Miyazawa Maki thought.

This bastard, not satisfied with having me, he really went to find other girls.

It would have been fine if he just looked for her, but he actually looked for Ezaki Suguha, knowing full well that she was his friend.

No wonder he suddenly asked about whether a girl was pretty or not last night. It turned out that he was secretly waiting for her here.

Oh, if that's the case.

Didn't some of the things I said yesterday and before make me look stupid and slow? ?

Miyazawa Maki's face suddenly darkened.

Sitting opposite her, Suguha Ezaki had no idea what she was thinking and thought that her frankness had angered her.

After a psychological struggle, Suguha Ezaki's shoulders slowly drooped.

"It's all my fault. It has nothing to do with Haruno."

She spoke, her voice very hoarse.

"I deliberately tempted Haruno to use the drug I gave you, which is why it turned out like this."

"Eh?"

Miyazawa Maki opened her mouth and was even more dumbfounded.

So, does it have something to do with me?

"But why, Suguha, the relationship between you and Haruno isn't that good yet, why do you suddenly want to do this?"

"do not know"

Suguha Ezaki clenched his pants tightly, his eyes becoming more and more guilty.

"I-I'm just envious of Maki."

".envious?"

"Well, I noticed you and Haruno before." Ezaki Suguha looked away and said with difficulty, "No, to be precise, I noticed Haruno, and you were not here at that time."

"What do you mean by not here?"

"During last year's Golden Week, I participated in a kendo exchange competition, and happened to be on the same Shinkansen train with Haruno."

"."

Miyazawa Maki stared at her in confusion.

How come it’s the Golden Week again?

She almost forgot about the Golden Week incident. Wasn't this matter only related to Mana? How come there is another one now?

“The specific situation is as follows”

In the next ten minutes, Suguha Ezaki slowly told everything.

From their first meeting during the Golden Week, Haruno had no impression of her. Then when they met again this year, he found out that "Mana" was still dating Haruno, and he envied their relationship.

Suguha Ezaki even told some stories about her family. After explaining all of this, she said why she chose to seduce Haruno, how she succeeded, and how she made Haruno take responsibility for her.

She kept her head down the entire time, as if she was confessing her criminal record, and she didn't dare look directly at her friend in front of her.

Only after she finished listening did Miyazawa Maki look dumbfounded, which made her feel a little uneasy.

"what"

Miyazawa Maki scratched her hair vigorously and said in surprise: "So, you mistook me for Mana, and that's why you have such emotions?"

"Ah."

Ezaki Suguha pursed her lips and responded silently.

"B-but didn't Haruno explain it to you?"

"He doesn't know, and I haven't told him. We met during the Golden Week."

"."

Miyazawa Maki was even more dumbfounded.

She originally wanted to scold the other party from the perspective of "being backstabbed", but after listening to what Ezaki Suguha said, she suddenly felt that the other party was very pitiful.

If you think about it carefully, the dilemma faced by Suguha Ezaki is actually somewhat similar to hers.

She became like that because her sister Mana was too outstanding and she was forced to compare with her since childhood; and Ezaki Suguha was also forced to bear a lot of things and pressure because of the misfortune of her parents' family.

Both of them wanted to live their own way, but they had to do this because of family reasons.

From her perspective, there was no way to blame the other party.

After all, she initially stuck to Sawayama Haruno just to find out the difference between herself and Mana and to defeat her sister.

"Feel sorry."

Just when Miyazawa Maki was still a little confused, Esaki Suguha suddenly raised her head.

"I am like this because of me."

"At first, I just wanted to leave some special memories and prove that I was different from my parents' mistakes. But I never intended to really destroy the relationship between you and Haruno."

Jiang Qizhiye paused, and then immediately said: "So, I will not..."

"and many more."

Miyazawa Maki was startled by her sudden words and quickly interrupted her.

"Wait a minute, let me think about it!"

"Eh"

"Well, I'm not as angry as you think."

Miyazawa Maki scratched his face and said with a guilty conscience: "Maybe it's because I'm not a good kid either."

"Listening to what Suguha said just now, I don't know why it reminded me of the first time I met Haruno."

"Actually, I had similar thoughts to Suguha at first, but unlike your desire to leave a special memory, I just wanted to show off to my sister this way. It was probably more childish, like a fit of anger."

Miyazawa Maki picked up the small silver spoon and began to shake the coffee in front of her, whispering, "I don't know why, but I feel like Suguha's experience is very similar to mine."

".show off?"

"Well, because Mana can always easily defeat me and take away what I want." Miyazawa Maki stopped shaking the coffee, bit the small silver spoon in her mouth, and said vaguely, "So, after running away from home that day, I saw Haruno coming to me, and I had the urge to make a mistake on him."

"It's the same for Suguha. You want to do this because of your parents' affairs and your family's constant pressure. I can understand your feelings to some extent," she added.

"how come."

Suguha Ezaki opened her mouth with a dull expression.

Things seemed to be developing in a direction she could not have imagined.

She thought she would be scolded by Miyazawa Maki, and even prepared herself to be slapped by her.

She felt that it would be fine even if she had to kneel on the ground and apologize to the other party, or cut off ties with Sawayama Haruno.

After all, she was the one who interfered.

Moreover, he interfered in the relationship of his friend Maki Miyazawa.

No matter how you think about it, you'd think she's actually a despicable person, right?

"Maki, you, you're really not angry?"

"Well, there's still a little bit, right?"

Maki Miyazawa threw the small silver spoon back into the cup and lay back with her arms folded across her chest.

"But it might be a little different from what you imagined." Miyazawa Maki curled her lips and said depressedly, "What makes me more angry is that I feel like I've been fooled like a fool."
