Chapter 173 Blessing, Part [-]
The second half of the dance officially started.

The second half of the dance, which belongs to the flower buds, is more solemn in terms of ceremony and arrangement.

Instead of everyone dancing together, each pair of flower sisters will appear individually in a pre-arranged order after the introduction by Yoshiko Sato.

Then, in their exclusive stage moment, they will be the only owners of the dance floor at that time, dancing under everyone's gaze.

After the dance, they had to express some final thoughts, and finally received a separate blessing from Sato Yoshiko and thanked everyone.

In order, Haiyuan Chu and Ijuin Ayano came in second.

Therefore, the two of them just met and before they could say a word, Sato Yoshiko's flower calyx Matsumoto Tamami hurried over and urged them not to bring any entourage and follow her immediately.

——This is because the dance officially started in the second half, and the first pair of sisters on the list are already on the stage.Therefore, according to the procedure, as the second pair of sisters to appear, Haori Haihara and Ayano Ijuin, it is time to immediately go to the small lounge behind the stage to make some preparations and wait for Sato Yoshiko's debut call.

Matsumoto sent the two of them into the lounge, then thoughtfully closed the door and left.

So, as the door closed, the noise outside was temporarily cut off.

In the quiet little room, neither of the two people spoke first.

Yijiin Ayano just stood there, staring at Hui Yuanchu, biting her lower lip.

Hui Yuanchu also observed her and realized that she seemed to have been crying for a long time. At this time, there was still some redness around her eyes, which was just barely covered by makeup.

"Master Gray, you clearly said..." She finally couldn't help it and said with a look of resentment.

"The first invitation?"

"Yes!" Ijuin Ayano became a little excited again.

Haiyuan looked at her curiously and easily interrupted her with just one sentence: "...Ayano would also be jealous of a mere weed?"

"..." Ijuin Ayano was stunned for a moment.

"Are you jealous?"

"..."

Looking at Ayano who continued to bite her lip stubbornly, Haiyuan smiled and walked over and touched her face gently: "Then does Ayano like me? She will be jealous because she likes her, right?"

Ijuin Ayano finally turned her face away, and answered with one word of grievance and humiliation: "...Yes."

Haiyuan smiled, reached out and touched Ayano's head, watching her expression gradually soften, and asked: "Has Ayano seen the news that I asked Kudo to take her there?
"Ah."

"But it seems that Ayano has become even more angry."

"……Um."

"why?"

Ijuin Ayano was silent for a moment, and said with some melancholy: "Because, I remembered the last few words my sister said when we last met."

"——'If I am no longer a flower bud, Ayano will leave me without hesitation and hate me', this sentence?"

Ijuin Ayano nodded.

"That's just 'if',"

"I know. But even if it's just a joke, I don't dare to imagine such cruel things... Just thinking about it makes me feel overwhelmed by despair, and then I can't help crying." She looked away again and whispered. He said, "And for making such a joke on me, my sister is really cruel."

"So, is it true that it's not okay if it's not Huayei?" Haiyuanchu looked at Ijuin Ayano and asked seriously, "...even if it's the person you like the most, it's not okay?"

This is the question Hui Yuanchu has always wanted to ask.

After hearing the whole story between Ijuin Ayano and Oro Aoi, Haihara initially understood but also did not understand Ijuin Ayano's rage.Being deceived itself can also cause resentment, but what Ayano seems to be more concerned about is not the deception itself, but the content of the deception - that is, the identity of "Reed".

Haiyuan initially stretched out his hand and gently held Ijuin Ayano's face so that she could no longer escape his gaze, and then said: "For example, Oruru Aoi?"

Ayano's eyes moved in panic for a moment.

After realizing that it was impossible to avoid Hui Yuanyuan's gaze, she took several deep breaths like a broken bellows before she seemed to calm down.

——But she unconsciously reached out her hand and grasped the hand Hui Yuanchu had placed on her face.

"...Weeds can't be sisters." Ayano Ijuin frowned, looked at Hai Yuanchu, and slowly uttered a sentence.

After a while, as if to show she was serious, she repeated it again: "Flower buds and weeds cannot be sisters."

"No one will agree... Master Yongzi will not bless us either."

Then she shut up and said nothing.

But breathing is still heavy.

Haiyuan stroked Ayano's hair patiently, waiting for her breathing to gradually calm down, and then asked: "So, is it really not possible?"

"No."

"I understand, Ayano has no one other than Hua Lei in her eyes... This is Hua Lei's pride and Ayano's pride, right?"

Ijuin Ayano closed her eyes and did not answer, but seemed to enjoy the kitten being groomed.

"Then why are you still jealous of Zhelukui?"

"——Just like Ayano loves your calyx, but that is different from loving me. Ayano should understand this truth better than me."

Hui Yuanchu continued: "And... if I am no longer a flower bud, Ayano will not have to be sad for me."

"Because for Ayano, if I am not a flower bud...then I will not exist. Therefore, the reason for being sad does not exist from the beginning."

Following Hui Yuanchu's words, Ayano's body began to tremble slightly again, but she still refused to open her eyes.

Hui Yuanchu finally let go of Yijuan.He then stepped back, leaving her standing alone.

It is enough to lay the groundwork here.

According to the plan, as the biggest impact that could break this cycle of dominance and bring Ayano to the next stage, the next step is that after dancing together, with the cooperation of the craftsman...or Yoshiko Sato, he will be under everyone's attention. "Confess" who you really are.

He glanced at the direction of the door, listened to the progress outside the door, and found that the time for appearance was still early, so he planned to say something casually to divert Ayano's attention: "Ayano——"

"——Shut up!" Ijuin Ayano suddenly hugged her head and screamed, "Don't say it!"

Hui Yuanchu was a little stunned for a while.

Then she quickly realized that Ijuin Ayano seemed to have some misunderstanding about his words.

But even if it is a misunderstanding, is this reaction too abnormal——

Just a moment ago, the group of cicadas that had been disturbed by the girl's screams and started to move automatically just sent the answer into his consciousness.

Hui Yuanchu's face turned ugly and he realized that he had missed something.

What he originally wanted to confess later, about the fact that he was "not a flower bud" - was triggered by the plot-driven approach of the Dominion Domain. In fact, Ayano had already known it in advance before she arrived at the dance scene. .
