Is it really a straight girl?

"Well, Yaki thinks that Mahiru is indeed a cute girl, she doesn't look like anything else at all. If human nature can be divided into one indicator, Mahiru will definitely get a high score!" Miki admitted.

Even if Ms. Mahiru is really a spider or a silkworm or some fungus transformed into a monster, Yaki will not be afraid.

Because Miki herself might be a bit more special.

"...Thank you." Through the blurred glass, Miji saw the red floating up and down.

"You're welcome, Mahiru has helped me so much during this time, I should say thank you." Miki waved his hand.

They are separated by a layer of glass, and no one can see the other's expression.

It's much easier to talk like this.

The girl with purple pupils kept looking at the blurred shadow of Mahiru, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

"It's my turn, can I?" the person in the bathroom begged weakly.

"Well, then the rules are like this, I ask a question, and then Mahiru will also ask one." Miki said briskly: "After all, it is an exchange of equal value."

Now Miss Mahiru, who is more introverted than herself, seems to be easy to deal with.

It's easy to talk to her about various topics.

Compared to Miss Yachiyo who just met on the road, it was much easier to communicate.

It's easy to understand that Miki finally doesn't have to face all kinds of riddlers.

Ms. Miki nodded slightly outside.

"Okay..." Mahiru's voice came: "I want to ask... Miki, is there anyone you like?"

Well?

Yaki didn't remember that Mahiru was the type who could gossip.

"Mahiru wants to know?" Yaki tilted his head and responded naturally.

This is a very common topic.

Girls almost always bring up this topic when they are together.

Mahiru doesn't seem to want to mention all kinds of supernatural things, but is more focused on emotional issues?

Like this.

Because this question was too common, Miji didn't think much about it.

"I want to know." A trembling voice came from inside again.

"Well... To be honest, there is really no one who can directly say 'I like it very much'." Miki nodded her chin and thought for a while: "Look, if we are talking about ordinary liking, it is like Anyone who looks at Miss Tsukino's over-the-top looks will definitely fall in love with it... But after a while, this feeling of excitement will naturally disappear."

"So, Mi Ji is very passionate about liking this thing for 3 minutes. It's like wanting to drink a cup of milk tea at a certain time. After a few minutes, this idea drifts away with the wind. It's like liking a certain game. After playing for a while, I don’t have much interest, like that.”

Mi Ji thought of explanations as he wished, and said wherever he thought of.

"Then, isn't it an ordinary liking?"

"Eh?"

"I want to ask... the sincere one, the very sincere one, I like it."

Mahiru said in a pause.

……

480、Like a fool

Sincerely, very sincerely, like it.

Mahiru caressed her chest, at this moment the temperature inside the chest was much, much warmer than the warm water outside.

A certain kind of warmth spread, and there was a slightly sad smell in the warmth. She wanted to get an answer, but she was contradictory not wanting to hear what the other party said.

I really don't like this feeling.

It's so uncomfortable, but amidst the discomfort, there is some anticipation. What a strange thing this is...

Why do humans have such feelings?

Mahiru still couldn't figure this out, she watched the water ripples on the edge of her skin, saw the bubbles burst one by one, the water temperature gradually became lower, but her heart gradually became warmer.

She curled her legs and hugged herself into a ball, huddled on one side of the bathtub by herself, leaving a lot of space on the other side.

Accompanied by the heartbeat, the red-haired girl quietly waited for the other party's answer.

There are thousands of thoughts in my heart.

What is liking... She already knew the answer to this matter.

She is now seriously experiencing the so-called 'like'.

But what about Miki?

Someone who is cared for, liked, even loved... At this moment, Mi Ji is sitting outside the bathroom, only separated from her by a fuzzy glass wall less than one centimeter, and she knows that liking is what?

Is there someone you like?Can you like it?

What is like, you know?

……

"If you really like it... Well, to be honest, Mi Ji might be a very cold-blooded person." Miss Mi Ji knocked on the blurry glass next to her shoulder, and slowly replied: "Because, Mi Ji has never I haven’t really liked anything... I’ve said this sentence many times, I don’t have anything I like or love, I’m not interested in anything, and I often drink milk tea just because it feels good.”

"It's just... In Miji's eyes, there are probably only 'feeling good' or 'feeling bad', there is nothing that I really like or hate." Miji slowly explained his temperament: "There are many times , Seeing someone who can put his heart and soul into one thing, can have such enthusiasm, I am a little envious."

Miki herself didn't have one.

This is different from everyone around me.

When Miji mentioned these things, he thought about it - he found that he had never really put his whole heart on one thing.

"Haven't you ever liked...?" Mahiru concluded in the bathroom.

"Yeah, that's right." Mi Ji subconsciously combed her temple hair behind her ears.

"Really, no one would like it?"

The tone seems to be slightly lost?

Mi Jicai tried to analyze it, but his ability was somewhat insufficient.

I can't guess what Mahiru is thinking right now. .

"It's not that everyone doesn't like it. If that's the case, Mi Ji may be a colder girl than Miss Xuewu, but no, Mi Ji will also have a good impression of everyone, but, maybe not How to find out who you really like..."

"After all, it's always been like this..." Mi Ji murmured to himself in his heart.

"I can't fall in love with anyone?" Mahiru's tone added a sense of confusion and doubt.

"It's like this." Mi Ji revealed his mouth addiction.

"Well...I see."

After this soft voice, there was no more sound from the bathroom.

Yaki looked at the blurred figure of the other party behind the glass, and Mahiru turned his head to look at the wall, as if he was thinking about something.

Up to now, Mi Ji has not been able to determine what kind of attitude the other party has towards him.

If you like it, you should be even more disappointed when you hear Miki's words, right?

But Mahiru is maintaining a flat tone and voice now.

...I haven't been able to test out the other party's mood yet.

In fact, the more important point may be that Mi Ji really doesn't know what kind of mood it is like to like. He can only find some knowledge from various TV series, animations or novels he has watched for analysis. However, until now Mi Ji This knowledge has not been used.

I really want to know how Mahiru feels.

It's impossible for a shy girl like Mahiru to say what she likes directly, right?

If she wanted to say something, she might express it in a soft and coy language like 'the moonlight is so beautiful'?

It feels like a guessing game.

Ms. Mi Ji, who originally liked the beauty of subtlety, pouted, she didn't want subtlety at this time.

But if Mahiru directly said 'I like you', it would be very difficult for Yaki to give an answer...or don't ask?

But want to know.

Moreover, Ya Ji can only deal with it if he knows what the other party really thinks?

According to the rules, the next question is from Miji's side.

So……

The girl with purple pupils expressed one of the questions that has been lingering in her heart:

"So, does Mahiru have someone he likes?"

Miki pretended to be natural, always looking at the blurred figure of Mahiru behind the glass, trying to detect some clues from it.

Probe at the edge with words.

Who, if any?

Want to know.

Miss Yaki's hand touched the position where Mahiru's figure was reflected on the glass, and moved slowly.

The matte feel is real to the touch.

During this brief silence, she heard her own heartbeat.

After a few seconds of silence, the silence was broken.

"I. I probably don't have the right to fall in love with anyone."

The lost tone formed a mixed sound in the closed bathroom.

"Eh? Why?" Miji turned his head away and blinked.

"Because even if I like it, there won't be any results... I." Mahiru looked at the flat wall covered with colorful porcelain plates.

"how come……"
