The goal of life is to break up all couples

However, Yukinoshita Yukino from OMO couldn't help but frown when she heard this.

Seeing Matsueda Azusa's face showing a look of sudden enlightenment, Yukinoshita Yukino finally decided not to continue playing dumb, and questioned: "Just saying you like someone without establishing a relationship, isn't that the same as just being ambiguous without being in love?"

"Although I don't really understand things related to love, since they haven't established a relationship, does that mean that if they can be ambiguous with you, they can naturally do the same with others? I don't think that true love will form a relationship like this."

What Yukinoshita Yukino said does make some sense. If you repeat what was just said in her own words, it actually sounds like the words of a scumbag.

But Yamada Ryo shook his head. "Classmate, aren't you being too extreme? Does that mean you'll be flirting with others behind their backs as long as they're not in a relationship? I don't think it's a question of whether the relationship is established or not, but rather the specific person involved. Someone who would cheat would do so even if they were in a relationship, and someone who wouldn't cheat wouldn't casually flirt with others even if they weren't in a relationship."

"Besides, does it mean that as soon as there's a little affection, a hint of love, that the relationship must be confirmed right away? If that's the case, why bother getting to know each other, why bother spending time together? You have to give each other a process of getting to know each other, to understand each other, to figure out whether this initial liking is illusory or real, and whether it will become deeper and develop into a relationship."

I have to say that although Yamada Ryoto was a little bit despicable, what he said now was serious and reasonable.

If you rashly enter into a relationship based on feelings of affection without understanding each other, it will often end up hurting both parties, just like what happened to Azusa Matsueda and Shoko Toyokawa.

Therefore, Matsueda Azusa previously closely linked "liking" and "understanding each other", believing that if there is no mutual understanding, then the so-called liking is false, and is nothing more than an illusory emotional projection of one's own assumptions.

But now, after hearing Yamada Ryo's point of view, Matsueda Azusa actually found it quite reasonable. Perhaps he had been dwelling on a rut before. In reality, the two could be completely separated. While both were indeed required to establish a relationship, it didn't mean that the former was false without the latter.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that what Yamada Ryo said is right! Matsueda Azusa really wants to connect with others, understand each other, and build relationships, but no one can inexplicably and without reason connect with others, nor can there be a superpower that can be telepathic as long as the heart is fond of it. All of this, of course, must be developed and acquired gradually through getting along.

There is no such thing as a girl who likes you and opens her mind to you the moment she likes you, suddenly falling from the sky.

Previously, Matsueda Azusa had almost confused the two concepts, which was why she thought love was so extreme, so hard to come by, almost like something out of a fairy tale. Now that I think about it, it was entirely because I failed to clarify the concepts at the time, which led me to go to extremes and get stuck in a dead end!

"Oh my god, Master Liang! I got it!"

Songzhi Zi bowed with sincere admiration.

Yamada Ryo was debating with Yukinoshita Yukino, but was slightly startled by Matsueda Azusa's sudden admiration. He couldn't help but look at him with a look of "Idiot, what did you realize?!"

Yukinoshita Yukino showed an expression of careful consideration. Although she always felt that something seemed to be wrong, from a logical point of view, it should be as Yamada Ryo said.

In this way, this so-called "liking" is actually more like a sign of affection, giving her a reason to approach the other person and understand the other person. It is not a fixed concept, but a dynamic indicator that can change in degree as time goes by and the relationship gets along - just like the "favorability" in the game?

If this is explained, it is indeed easier to understand. In the initial understanding of Matsueda Azusa and Yukinoshita Yukino, "liking" itself is an ultimate concept, but Yamada Ryo proposed that "liking" is more than just a beginning.

Yamada Ryomi saw that Yukinoshita Yukino seemed to be somewhat convinced by him. Without saying anything in reply, he immediately gave Matsueda Azusa a thumbs-up and pressed on: "Well, what do you think? Does what I said make sense? Then do you want to try to get along with me?"

"Um……"

Matsueda Azusa thought for a moment in distress and answered honestly: "I don't know."

Yamada Ryo didn't expect Matsueda Azusa to say that. She was stunned: "Huh?"

She looked at Songzhi Zi blankly, with a puzzled look in her eyes. She had imagined that Songzhi Zi might agree or refuse, and she had anticipated both situations, but she had never expected Songzhi Zi to say "I don't know".

Hmm... As expected of Matsueda Azusa, very interesting.

Yamada Ryo was amused by Matsueda Azusa: "You are such a nagging fellow, Matsueda. So why don't you know? What don't you know?"

Songzhi Zi thought about it, and then said seriously and frankly: "Because I don't know whether I like you or not."

Ever since being dumped by Toyokawa Shoko, Matsueda Azusa has found it difficult, or perhaps even afraid, to easily make a decision about her feelings. Perhaps this is some kind of stress response, as Matsueda Azusa subconsciously avoids understanding her own emotions related to "liking."

Yamada Ryo smiled, not showing any impatience. Instead, he asked, "So, do you think that when you're with me, when we play music, when we chat... all those moments together, are they interesting or boring?"

Matsueda Azusa thought for a moment: "I think...it's quite interesting."

Hearing this, Yamada Ryo reached out and held Matsueda Azusa's right hand. While he was still not reacting, he interlocked his fingers with his. Then he put his face close to Matsueda Azusa's. The two looked into each other's eyes at close range. Under the constant vibration and shaking of the mine car, their warm breaths intertwined and almost merged into one.

After a moment, she released her hand and gently pressed on Songzhi Zi's heart: "Look, your face is red, your ears are burning, and even your heartbeat has become so fast."

Yamada Ryo blinked at Matsueda Azusa and said firmly: "You like me."

Huddled quietly in a corner, Yukinoshita Yukino felt like she was living a life worse than death. This minecart trip was simply torture. Did they have to play out this melodramatic youth idol drama in front of her?

Why don't you two go somewhere where there's no one else and confess your feelings? Do you think it's exciting and interesting enough if she's the only one watching you?

Chunchun treated her as a pendant tool. This is just like the victim in the Minotaur's book who was tied up and watched the scene with his own eyes! - Although Yukinoshita Yukino had no idea about the so-called book, the feeling she felt now was very similar.

Chapter 160: The Loser Front Alliance.

Miura Yumiko, who was busy helping Yuigahama Yui prepare for the class performance, suddenly stopped what she was doing and subconsciously turned her head to look behind her. But she didn't see anything unusual.

"?strangeness."

Miura Yumiko looked around a little confusedly. For some reason, she suddenly felt like drawing her sword and looking around, feeling confused.

It was strange. Why did I suddenly feel like I had lost? Even my hair seemed to have inexplicably turned even blonder.

Was she under a spell? A chill ran through Miura Yumiko's heart, as if her home had been robbed without her noticing.

But no matter how he looked around, he didn't find anything unusual.

I guess I was just worrying too much. Haha, I was scaring myself.

Yuigahama Yui, who was standing by, looked at Miura Yumiko, who was suddenly dazed, and asked in confusion: "Yumiko, what's wrong?"

Miura Yumiko came back to her senses and waved her hand: "Nothing, I've probably been busy for too long and suddenly my mind is a little off."

"Eh? Well, then Yumiko, go get some rest!"

Yuigahama Yui quickly put down what Miura Yumiko was holding and looked at her worriedly: "Yumiko, you've been a little absent-minded since the beginning... Actually, there's not much to do in the class, and I can handle it quickly by myself. Yumiko, just do what you want to do!"

Miura Yumiko subconsciously shook her head and refused: "No, I'm actually fine. Anyway, there's nothing I can do by myself, so why not..."

"No! Damai!"

Yuigahama Yui unexpectedly showed some toughness for once. She stood up and pushed Miura Yumiko out of the classroom door: "Yumiko, if you keep pushing yourself like this, I'm going to get angry! Go and have a good rest!"

Yumiko Miura never thought that one day she would be treated like this by Yuigahama Yui.

Could it be that because she was spending less time in small groups, her power over the others had also decreased? Even little Yuigahama had the audacity to disobey her!

but……

Never mind, Miura Yumiko didn't really dislike this feeling. On the contrary, the fact that Yuigahama Yui dared to express her own thoughts in front of her, acting like a close friend, didn't that only indicate that their relationship had become closer, that Miura Yumiko was no longer the stereotyped, masked leader of the group, but a real, concrete individual who existed as a "friend"?

Sure enough, the decision she made before was correct.

But now the question is, what is she going to do after being kicked out of the classroom?

Among the other members of the Supervisory Club, Onmizu Kazuhiko and the others must be busy with their own class performances, and Hikigaya had already sneaked away under the pretext of "executive committee inspection."

And Matsueda Azusa had already been snatched away by the blue-haired kid who suddenly appeared. Damn it, I get angry just thinking about it.

Yumiko Miura stood at the door of the classroom, and for a moment she didn't know what to do.

"Hey! Um..."

Just then, a voice suddenly sounded behind her, as if calling her.

Yumiko Miura subconsciously turned around and found that it was Tatsuki Shiina who came out with her.

She blurted out: "You are that... uh, what's your name?"

Shiina Riki was about to speak when she suddenly paused, and then she realized with embarrassment that they didn't even know each other's identities.

After a moment's silence, Shiina Riki extended his hand to Miura Yumiko and said, "I'm Shiina Riki, the drummer of Azusa's previous band."

"Oh, I'm Matsueda's classmate and club member, Miura Yumiko."

Miura Yumiko shook hands with Shiina Riki perfunctorily, "So what do you want from me?"

"Are you...close to Azusa?"

Shiina Riki hesitated for a moment, and finally asked: "I saw him take you to the last performance."

She did not take the initiative to mention the fact that Miura Yumiko stopped her from catching up with Matsueda Azusa.

"Huh? I'm close to him? How is that possible? How did you know that? No matter how you look at it, he and I are sworn enemies, right? I'm just tolerating it for now and reluctantly being a member of his department. After a while, I'll take his position as department head!"

Miura Yumiko immediately retorted without hesitation: "You don't have to test me. I can see that you definitely still like that guy Matsueda, but I can't be your competitor anyway."

Really...really?

Shiina Riki recalled the look on Miura Yumiko's face just now, which was completely different from what she said now, that she had no feelings for Matsueda Azusa.

But since she said so, Shiina Ritsuki would obey her. No matter whether she was being stubborn or not realizing her feelings for Matsueda Azusa at all, it was always a good thing for Shiina Ritsuki anyway, so if she wanted to be stubborn, then let her continue to be stubborn.

This would eliminate one competitor. She had originally worried that Miura Yumiko, as a classmate of Matsueda Azusa's and also in the same club, would be easily taken advantage of by Matsueda Azusa, but now it seemed the situation wasn't that critical.

"This...is like this..."

Shiina Riki thought for a moment and then asked indirectly, "Come to think of it, I don't know what club Azusa is forming right now. But I think it's a rock club. Miura-san, do you play an instrument?"

"Rock club? Not that low-grade stuff."

Miura Yumiko waved her hand. "We're directly affiliated with the Student Union's Supervisory Department. Our full name is the Improper Relationship Supervisory Department. Simply put, our club's activities are to break up couples on campus."

"?ah?"

Shiina Riki looked bewildered.

She wondered if she had misheard. What kind of weird club was this? It was so strange that they could even form one.

Miura Yumiko crossed her arms and looked Shiina Riki up and down. "You don't know this? Weren't you on good terms with him before? Didn't he tell you that ever since his ex-girlfriend dumped him, he's been completely disappointed in love and formed this club to get back at society?"

"No...no, I haven't heard him mention it at all..."

Shiina Riki found that she really knew too little about Matsueda Azusa. He actually did such a thing because he was dumped by Toyokawa Shoko. It seems that she underestimated the damage that Toyokawa Shoko had caused to Matsueda Azusa.

Even though they had never seen Matsueda Azusa hurt to this extent during their normal interactions... That's why they thought she was hardworking and strong, but the reality wasn't as rosy as it seemed. So Shiina Riki always subconsciously thought that Matsueda Azusa could do it, that he would tolerate her...

If Shiina Riki had known about this earlier, and realized the pain and vulnerability of Matsueda Azusa's heart, would she not have done that thing, and would she not have fallen to this point?

Chapter 161 The four people gathered together, each with their own thoughts.

The somewhat long mine cart journey finally came to an end.

Even though they had just experienced Yamada Ryo's confession, they could not let go of the students in this class who had harmed them.

Not to mention the innocent Yukinoshita Yukino, who was thrown here for no reason and forced to be a tool all the way, unable to even jump out of the car. This depressed mood directly led to her sending the class's performance project off with a red card and ordering them to suspend operations for rectification.

Of course, they had brought this trouble upon themselves. Even if Yukinoshita Yukino hadn't messed with them, Matsueda Azusa would have done the same—he had already announced his name, but hearing it only intensified the group's enthusiasm, their unabashed desire to kill themselves.

But leaving aside Matsueda Azusa and Yukinoshita Yukino, Yamada Ryo looked quite happy, humming softly next to Matsueda Azusa.

But she soon stopped being happy.

Because Tatsuki Shiina and Yumiko Miura have also arrived here.

Wasn't it agreed that this was her exclusive time? As expected, these two guys couldn't help but come and mess things up.

Unfortunately, they arrived a little too late. Yamada Ryo had already said everything he needed to say, so it didn't matter if they interfered next.

Humph, one ran off the track by himself, and there was a golden-haired loser. What could these two people use to fight her? Do you understand that sincerity is the key to success? When dealing with Matsueda Azusa, you should just play straight.

When Shiina Riki saw the figure of Matsueda Azusa appear in his sight, his eyes lit up subconsciously, but he soon noticed the look that Yamada Ryo was giving them - strange, for some reason, he always felt that it revealed a sense of pity and condescension.

Miura Yumiko's eyes grew sharper. She keenly sensed that something was amiss between Matsueda Azusa and Yamada Ryo. It seemed completely different from the atmosphere they'd shared just before they'd separated. But if she had to pinpoint what was wrong, she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Before the three of them said a word when they met, intense sparks of lightning began to fly between their eyes.

"Eh? Why are you two here?"

Seeing Yukinoshita Yukino cancel the class activities, Matsueda Azusa was finally satisfied. Turning around, he saw Shiina Riki and Miura Yumiko who had arrived late, and subconsciously asked: "Miura, are you done with the class things?"

Matsueda Azusa didn't expect that these two people would act together. It was a completely unexpected combination.

"Ah—about that."

Miura Yumiko hesitated for a moment, but still didn't say that she was "driven out" by Yuigahama Yui. She just casually said: "They don't need my help for the time being, so I just happened to be free and planned to go for a stroll."

Shiina Riki chimed in with her explanation. Matsueda Azusa would ask her about it later anyway. "Well, I'm not very familiar with Sobu High School, and I don't know where to go if I go alone. It would be awkward, so I decided to follow Miura-san and have her show me around."

Yamada Ryo took a look at the loser alliance in front of him, and seeing that they were trying hard to make excuses for their chance encounter with Matsueda Azusa while strolling around, he immediately made up his mind that these two people were not worth worrying about at all.

Miura Yumiko looked around and asked with a hint of confusion, "I didn't expect to run into you guys here by chance. Why are there so many people here? What happened?"

Matsueda Azusa waved his hand. "This class tampered with the performance project without permission, not only screwing over that Yukinoshita guy, but also screwing over me. They're currently closed for rectification."

Upon hearing this, Shiina Riki asked anxiously, "Were you tricked? What did they do? Azusa, how do you feel now? Are you okay?"

"Am I not standing here perfectly fine?"

Songzhi Zi took a look at himself and said, "I don't look like I'm injured."

Yamada Ryo answered for him: "They just changed the sightseeing cable car into a roller coaster, and they threw us in to experience it."
