Kyoto Shenyin Love Story

Chapter 34 Yoshikawa · Kirino Akane chef · Hongzi
The tram swayed, and between starting and stopping, some people got off and more people got on, making the carriage even more crowded.

"Yoshikawa is a little twisted."

"Really? It's just a normal concern among friends."

Koko Yoshikawa leaned behind Soya, relying on his body to keep herself steady.

"Or, Soya thinks I'm not your friend?"

"No, I didn't mean that."

"Then if you are excluded by close friends, Soya will also care about what they talk about in private, right?"

"If it's privacy, I'll understand."

"Is it privacy?"

"...Let's just call it that."

"However, I think Soya and Akane are just hiding it from me."

Only then did Soya realize that Yoshikawa's sense was unexpectedly sharp, "If you were in front of Suzu, you would have no reservations."

"No, there is no such thing."

"Is it because Ling only listens but doesn't talk? I can do it too."

"I believe in Yoshikawa."

"so……"

"There is no such thing. If there is something that cannot be told to Yoshikawa, it will only be private."

"..."

The female classmate behind him grabbed his uniform and was silent for five or six stops.

It wasn't until the tram stopped again that she was inadvertently bumped into by someone squeezing into the carriage, and she let out a hoarse cry of pain.

Soya heard it, "Are you all right?"

"It doesn't matter..."

Yoshikawa glanced to the side, the passenger's backpack was stuffed to the brim, and what caused her unbearable pain was the bulge that resembled the corner of a book.

Pack too much, the backpack is deformed.

"I might actually be a little twisted."

"……what?"

"It feels like since Soya appeared, Akane has been getting farther and farther away from me."

"I'm quite scared when you say that suddenly."

Yoshikawa chuckled.

"Isn't it? When Soya first appeared, she pretended to be Akane's boyfriend, and even I believed it. She didn't have much contact with boys in the three years of elementary and middle school."

"I didn't know her plan until I met Kirino and Yoshikawa."

"What's the plan?"

"..."

Zongya suddenly felt a little unconfident, but he still said the first possibility that came to his mind.

"Show off in front of the same sex...especially Yoshikawa?"

"Show the limelight? Soya really feels good about himself, although his height and appearance are really good... Oh, your ears are red."

"..."

"It's even more popular."

"...Don't say it, don't say it."

Yoshikawa laughed a few more times, restrained himself and began to explain to him.

"When it comes to showing off in front of girls, Soya is actually half right.

At that time, graduation was approaching, and the boys in the class became eager to move.

Those boys who have thoughts about Qian also want to convey their feelings to her before they separate.

But it's hard to muster up the courage.

So, those boys asked the girls who were close to Qian to test her ideas in advance... It was so stupid that there was nothing new. "

"..."

She sensed Soya's doubts for a moment.

"Songya."

"what?"

"If a girl Soya likes suddenly said to you: 'I like Mr. A, but I don't have the courage to confess, please help me test his feelings'... What would Soya think?"

"fraud."

Yoshikawa was taken aback, "Huh?"

"It's nothing...I see what you mean."

"yes."

"Those girls will hate Kirino for that, right?"

"All in all, a lot of things happened in the middle, Soya appeared at the right time.

Trouble quickly evaporates when rumors spread that Akane has a tall, handsome boyfriend outside of school. "

"It turns out I did something good when I didn't know it."

Soya laughed twice, and suddenly remembered the obsession with Akane Kirino that the girl behind her was.

"'Natural'..."

Koko Yoshikawa leaned against his back and understood his nonsense without hindrance.

"What does Soya think 'natural' is?"

It wasn't an easy question to answer, and she gave her answer before he could find the right words.

"I think 'natural' means extreme concentration. For Akane, the point of concentration is to eliminate the unpleasantness in front of you.

Regardless of the process, her ultimate goal is to eliminate unhappiness and return herself to a calm state. "

Soya thought for a while, "I think this is the common pursuit of most people."

Yoshikawa: "Let me give another example. If Soya was walking by Lake Biwa and suddenly saw someone fall into the water, would he feel uncomfortable?"

Soya: "If happiness refers to the peaceful state of walking, then it can be said to be unpleasant when you encounter this situation."

Yoshikawa: "In order to eliminate the unhappiness, Soya will save people."

Soya nodded.

"But Qian might pick up the pebbles and let that person simply sink to the bottom of the lake to eliminate the unhappiness in front of him."

"..."

"It may also turn around and go to other places where no one has fallen into the water."

"..."

"Of course, saving people is also one of the possibilities. However, Qian's choices are usually different from ordinary people."

Yoshikawa let out a breath slowly, "This is also what fascinates me the most."

"... Yoshikawa."

"what?"

"You really have been distorted."

She laughed.

It's hard to tell how much of Akane's "preoccupation" of Kirino's dedication to unhappiness is just her own self-righteousness;
But Soya can't completely deny it, because Kirino Akane occasionally makes unexpected choices.

"I'm terrified of becoming a dispensable part of the process of eliminating 'unpleasant'."

Yoshikawa whispered, "If Akane met a new friend in Class B and didn't like her always going to Class A, Akane would simply break up with Soya, Suzu and me in Class A, that would be too ridiculous."

Soya shook his head, "If it's really what Yoshikawa said, the choice of this kind of thing is completely in the mind of Kirino."

"So I'm going to be Akane's best friend and make that woman in class B the one who gets dumped!"

"...Who is in Class B?"

"do not know!"

Imaginary enemy...

"Yoshikawa."

"what?"

"Do you remember what you said to me during spring break?"

"Spring break... any other reminders?"

"One day, when you arrive first and Kirino hasn't arrived yet."

"Ah, I have the impression that it was only that one time... What did I say?"

"Think harder."

"Hmm...I thought of it, could it be 'Soya-san, do you want to hear about the real relationship between me and Akane'?"

"I do not want to hear."

"..."

Amidst the congestion, the train finally arrived at Yamashina Station where it was transferred.

The door opened, and the passengers in the compartment flowed again, and this time Soya was one of them.

He squeezed in front, and Yoshikawa Hongko followed closely, pushing his back with both hands.

"No, Soya-san."

"I regret."

"After hearing so many secrets from me, you only want to get away now. Do you think it's realistic?"

"..."

Finally squeezed out of the carriage, Soya glanced back.

Yoshikawa Hongko's hands had already moved to his shoulders, and while squeezing heavily, she smiled at him.

"Absolutely not."

Akane Kirino, who squeezed out from the other side of the car door, pulled the Chaowu bell, and looked away before the two began to look for her.

Hurrying quickly, the four of them finally arrived at Danhai High School when they were only a few minutes away from being late.

The classroom is almost full.

After Soya took his seat, Keisuke Fushimi at the front desk turned around as expected.

"Why are you late at the same time? Do you live with the two most beautiful girls in Class A, Soya—"

Climbing up the hundreds of steps up the mountain and upstairs without stopping, Soya panted for breath and still hadn't recovered.

"No...not late..."

"Is this the point!"

He waved his hand, indicating that he didn't want to talk for the time being.

With the ringing of the bell, Makoto Shibazaki walked into the classroom and announced that the morning class would start.

"As the deputy teacher of Class A, I still ask for leave today... Okay, let's roll the roll first."
