A world only known by the God of Lost Love

After hearing this, Misaki Uekusa looked at Shiina Mashiro in great surprise.

"But...it's not that I can't understand it. Because I'm used to being treated gently, I sometimes want him to be a little rough~"

"........."

Although she didn't quite understand what Misaki Kamikusa was talking about, Mashiro Shiina was really curious about what Ren would look like if she was really angry. However, considering Ren's tolerance for her, she really couldn't think of what she would do for a while. What would make him angry...

Oh, by the way...according to what Akasaka Ryunosuke said, if he went to "night attack" Ren, he might see him angry!

"That's why I said...neither one of you two is a normal girl."

On the other side, Mitaka Jin couldn't help but sigh deeply as he first glanced at Misaki Kamuigusa, who was caught up in obscene fantasies, and then at Mashiro Shiina, who was also wandering in a daze.

"Anyway, Shiina-kun, since you have come out of Suzuki-kun's room, it means that the problem you talked about in the restaurant at noon has been solved, right?"

"……?what is the problem?"

"That's the question about [Who is the most important to Suzuki-kun]? You should have got the answer by now, right?"

“……………………”

After hearing Mitaka Jin's question, Shiina Mashiro suddenly fell into silence.

After a while, after replaying all the conversations between the two in his mind, Shiina Mashiro slowly shook his head:

"...I seem to have completely forgotten this question."

Mitaka Jin couldn't help being shocked after hearing this.

"Ha!? Then what on earth did you two talk about?!"

"We talked about Lian's past, and then helped him get rid of a lot of the 'dark red' in his heart."

"...Sure enough, I still don't understand what you are talking about."

As always, Mitaka Jin had no idea what Shiina Mashiro was talking about.

"But no matter what, you two can continue to get along well in the future, right?"

"kindness."

Faced with this simple and easy-to-understand question, Mashiro Shiina nodded without hesitation.

"At least, that's what I think."

"Hey, how can we just get along well with each other!"

At this moment, Misaki Kamikusa, who finally recovered from her peach fantasy, suddenly spoke.

"As for Mashiro-chan, you definitely hope to become closer to Suzuki-kun...right? Mashiro-chan?"

"kindness."

In response to Misaki Ueiko's question, Mashiro Shiina also expressed her affirmation.

"At least... I hope I can become like Kazuri Goto."

"Hey! Look, Ren, what I just said!"

Misaki Kamikusa suddenly became energetic.

"Mashiro-chan really wants to chase Suzuki-kun!"

"I'm not denying this. I just think that girls like Shiina-san are not suitable for being too proactive."

"Why! We obviously like each other, so what's wrong with being more proactive!"

"Because for those who have strong self-esteem, it is very stressful to be pursued by someone better than themselves! Even if they are in love, if the gap between the two parties is too big...ah..."

Halfway through speaking, Mitaka Jin suddenly realized that his speech also exposed his own feelings.

At the same time, after hearing Mitaka Jin's answer, the smile on Misaki Kamikusa's face gradually solidified.

"So... Rencai will always turn a blind eye to me?"

"…………"

"We all have the same feelings...can't we accept this more calmly?"

"...If it was really that simple, I would have done it a long time ago."

Mitaka Jin looked away.

"At least now, I can't accept it no matter what."

"But at least... we are indeed in love, right?"

"…………"

"...I won't give up."

Even though Mitaka Jin didn't give any affirmative answer, Misaki Kamikusa still said so.

"I will definitely continue to attack! Until you are willing to accept me... I will never give up!"

Faced with Misaki Kamiigusa's strong declaration, Mitaka Jin could only sigh slightly, and then replied calmly.

"No matter what I say, you will never give up... In that case, just do as you like."

"kindness!"

Although judging from the conversation between the two, their relationship has not made any substantial progress, in Shiina Mashiro's vision, the color between the two is indeed a bit more harmonious than at the beginning.

However, in addition to interpreting colors, after listening to the conversation between the two, a question that concerned her naturally emerged in her mind -

"Kamiizusa-senpai."

"Well, what's wrong, Mashiro-chan?"

"Just now... what did you and Mitaka-senpai say... 'like' mean?"

"...Eh?! You're lying, right?"

"Did it actually start from here?!"

With their own different exclamations, Misaki Kamikusa and Hitoshi Mitaka realized a very serious issue at the same time.

The girl in front of me, who seemed to be about to "cultivate to the right place", had not even reached the starting line yet.

"Convene emergency meeting 2.0!"

Misaki Kamikusa stood up with a serious look on her face and said to Mashiro Shiina, who was looking confused in front of her:

"It seems that I have to teach you a lesson this afternoon!"

Chapter 42: That’s why dictionaries have multiple annotations

"Listen up, Mashiro-chan! The so-called 'like' feeling, to put it simply, is the feeling of wanting to be with the other person sweetly and sweetly all the time, no matter on holidays, working days, day or night! "

"No, no, no, no matter how you think about it, this explanation is a bit too extreme, right?"

Because he was a little worried about Misaki Uyegusa's education style, Mitaka Jin did not leave in a hurry, but stayed here as an "assistant teacher".

And as expected, the first words of Misaki Kamiigusa's opening speech forced Mitaka Hitoshi to retort:

"Even if you are in love, you will never want to be together 24 hours a day."

"Why not! That's the person you like. Isn't it normal to want to be with him forever?!"

"Even between lovers, it is very important to leave enough personal space for each other. In fact, many couples eventually break up precisely because they do not understand this truth."

"Oh, if that's the case, then you should tell Mashiro-chan what kind of feeling you think 'like' is."

Misaki Kamikusa, who was crossing her arms, showed a slightly dissatisfied expression.

Mitaka Jin did not hesitate after hearing this, and expressed his views on the feeling of "like" very decisively and neatly:

"Like this kind of relationship, it should be the kind of longing to go to that person and be able to walk side by side with that person for the rest of your life."

"Hey...this answer is surprisingly serious..."

After hearing Mitaka Jin's answer, Misaki Kamikusa blinked in surprise.

"I thought Jen's answer would be a little more flippant."

"...When you are seriously teaching a child who doesn't understand anything, you must not be able to use the same feeling as usual, right?"

Mitaka Jin said helplessly:

"And she has been listening very carefully since the beginning. I don't want to fool her with that irresponsible attitude."

"…………"

On the other side, Mashiro Shiina, who had been watching the two of them quietly from the beginning, moved slightly.

When the two talked about "like", she clearly saw two different colors clearly reflected on their faces.

Misaki Kamikusa's side is a passionate bright red, while Mitaka Jin's side is a heavy dark blue.

Obviously, the two of them have almost completely opposite understandings of the emotion of "like"...

It’s weird.

It is obviously such a common and common word, but it has completely different interpretations in their mouths.

Which side is correct?

"...You see, Shiina-san is really starting to feel confused."

On the other side, looking at the girl who tilted her head unconsciously, Mitaka Jin sighed.

"I'm sorry, Shiina-san, something happened suddenly and I couldn't stop her in time...Actually, the two of us alone can't teach you about the feeling of 'like'."

Shiina Mashiro blinked:

"……why?"

"Different experiences and personalities will cultivate different concepts and ideas, so for everyone, the weight and meaning of this feeling are different... just like what Misaki and I just showed."

Mitaka Jin replied:

"The two of us can only give you a reference at most. For you, I'm afraid you can only understand what your 'like' feels like."

“…………That’s indeed the case.”

After the topic turned serious, the smile on Misaki Kamikusa's face became much calmer than before.

"For Mashiro-chan, your 'like' is probably different from the two of us... But even so, there is still something here that can help you distinguish 'like' from other feelings. Here’s a little tip.”

"What is it?"

"The feeling of 'like' will continue to expand as time goes by... At the beginning, it may be just a subtle feeling that even you can't detect. After a while, it will become It gets bigger and bigger and starts to crowd out all the other emotions until it becomes something you can't ignore no matter what."

Misaki Ueizusa opened her arms as she spoke.

"At that time, even people who lack common sense will definitely be able to detect it."

"…………"

This time, Mitaka Hitoshi did not refute Misaki Uegusa's statement. It seemed that he very much recognized Misaki Uegusa's answer this time.

On the other side, after hearing what Misaki Ueizusa said, Mashiro Shiina fell into thinking again.

"Does it expand with time..."

She almost subconsciously substituted this statement into her relationship with Suzuki Ren.

However, she soon gave up this futile approach——

"The time between Lian and I... is still too short."

In just one month, it was played back in my mind almost instantly.

And her feelings for Suzuki Ren did not seem to have changed in this month that Misaki Ueizusa said was too big for her to ignore.

She is just more attached to Suzuki Ren than she was from the first day they met. She wants to hear his voice, smell his scent, and see his smile even more.

Other than that...well, I haven't discovered it yet.

Sure enough, it will still take some time before we can know more accurately whether this relationship is what the two seniors call "like".

creak-

While Shiina Mashiro was still recalling things about Suzuki Ren, the door of Sakurasou suddenly opened.

Then, the figure of Qianshi Qianxun, who looked disappointed, appeared in everyone's sight.
