A world only known by the God of Lost Love

"……………………Ah! I remembered it."

After listening to the other party's explanation, Shiina Mashiro was stunned for about ten seconds before finally clapping her palms without realizing it.

"It's the one who lives next door to Lian... called, called..."

"Akasaka Ryunosuke."

The long-haired boy couldn't help but accept the name that the other party had been unable to pronounce.

"Okay, now that you already know my identity and name, there shouldn't be anything else, right?"

"Well, it's all right."

"Okay, then please do as you please."

"........."

After being dismissed impatiently, Shiina Mashiro didn't stay much, but passed by the restaurant directly, took out the key from her pocket, and prepared to go directly to Suzuki Ren's room——

"Wait a minute?! Wait a minute!"

This time, it was Akasaka Ryunosuke's turn to stop Shiina Mashiro.

"What...are you planning to do? Night attack?!"

"Night raid?"

Shiina Mashiro tilted her head:

"What does night attack mean?"

"You!? You actually want me to explain such a shameless word?! But if you think about it carefully... with your common sense and knowledge, you may not know the meaning of this word."

Akasaka Ryunosuke rubbed his eyebrows in distress.

"Okay, then listen carefully. The so-called 'night attack' means breaking into the other person's resting space rashly while he is resting, and doing some... uh... just... extremely inappropriate things to him. !”

"Something indiscreet? Like what?"

"Hiss--! This... type, similar to... take off, take off his clothes... this kind of... um..."

"Undress……"

It seemed that Ren Suzuki had told her that she was not allowed to show her body without the consent of both parties.

If this is the case, then night raids are indeed not allowed.

but……

"I didn't go to take off Lian's clothes, I just went to chat with Lian."

"That's not okay! It's already two o'clock in the morning, he must have fallen asleep, right?!"

"Well, that's why I'm going to open the door myself and wait for him to get up."

"No, no, no, so that's not the problem, right?!"

Akasaka Ryunosuke waved his hand and complained speechlessly:

"Leave aside where you got this key from, why do you think you can enter other people's rooms without permission?!"

"……no?"

"Of course not! This kind of thing can only be done with the permission of others!"

"But before, Senior Igusa went to Ren's room alone..."

"Because that guy has always been an unruly madman! And even she must have dared to go in without him being present!"

"Oh……"

Shiina Mashiro nodded slowly after hearing this, and then put the key back into his pocket.

"So, I can only come to Lian tomorrow?"

"That's right!"

"Hmm... that's it."

Shiina Mashiro nodded a little frustrated.

"Okay, I understand...Then I'll come find him tomorrow."

"call……"

Although the explanation process was a bit tortuous, Akasaka Ryunosuke was able to stop this fool's "illegal" behavior.

"What an incredible weirdo...Only a weirdo like Ren Suzuki of the same level can handle you."

"...Don't speak ill of Lian."

After hearing Akasaka Ryunosuke's muttering, Shiina Mashiro immediately frowned.

"I may be a weirdo, but Lian is definitely not!"

"You are quite self-aware..."

Hearing Shiina Mashiro's rebuttal, Akasaka Ryunosuke shook his head in amusement:

"But what I mean by strangeness is not his character, but his past... There are quite a lot of doubts about this guy's past."

"...?! Lian's past!"

After hearing this word, Shiina Mashiro's eyes suddenly widened, and then, under Akasaka Ryunosuke's increasingly horrified gaze, he strode directly towards him——

"Please tell me in detail!"

"Eeeeeee—!?"

Chapter 33: A new beginning for Mashiro Shiina

As the ultimate stay-at-home patient with gynophobia, Akasaka Ryunosuke is most afraid of girls like Mashiro Shiina who can't read the air.

Obviously he had tried his best to show his unfriendly side, but Mashiro Shiina seemed to have seen through his bluff and forced him into the corner of the restaurant——

"I-I know! I'll tell you! So don't come near me again!"

"?"

Looking at the five-meter distance between the two of them, Shiina Mashiro couldn't help but feel very baffled by his vigilance.

But listening to Akasaka Ryunosuke's voice, which had begun to tremble slightly, she finally stopped honestly.

"So, what don't you know about Lian's past?"

"… Anyway, I know a lot more than you know, well, anyway, let me start from the beginning."

After seeing that Shiina Mashiro really had no intention of approaching him, Akasaka Ryunosuke finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he first moved the chair to the corner farthest from Shiina Mashiro, and then sat on it with a relaxed expression:

"Since you two moved here, I have looked up a lot of information about you... Of course there is no need to say more about you. The entire Internet is full of news about you... And the same goes for Suzuki Ren, don't look at him He always looks low-key and quiet, but he had a quite vigorous experience when he was in junior high school——"

So immediately after, Akasaka Ryunosuke told the news about Suzuki Ren and Hiiragi to Shiina Mashiro.

After listening to Suzuki Ren's past, the expression on Shiina Mashiro's face changed from the initial calmness to becoming more serious.

"...After graduating from junior high school, he went to Xiuhua High School...a college located near Shimokitazawa. It has an average admission rate and is not famous. It is just an ordinary college."

"Ah, I know about this too."

As if she wanted to prove that she also knew Suzuki Ren very well, Mashiro Shiina raised her hands like a student answering a teacher's question and said:

"That's where Lian transferred to Suimeifu High School!"

"Well, yes, this is also the news that our Sakurasou...and even Suimei Fu High School received - 'Suzuki Ren transferred from Shuhua High School to Suimei Fu High School'. However, there is something about him that The biggest suspicion comes from here!"

Having said this, Akasaka Ryunosuke suddenly crossed his arms and showed an extremely serious expression.

"Shiina Mashiro, what kind of man is Suzuki Ren in your opinion?"

"Lian?"

Shiina Mashiro tilted her head, thought for a while, and then answered:

"A person who is filled with beautiful colors from the inside out."

"Tsk... So it's really difficult for ordinary people to communicate with people with synesthesia like you."

Hearing such an abstract answer, Akasaka Ryunosuke couldn't help but click his tongue.

"Let me ask the question, do you think Ren Suzuki is a handsome guy?"

"Yes."

"Do you think Suzuki Ren has a good character?"

"very good."

"Do you think boys like Ren Suzuki will be popular?"

"meeting."

"Very good, think about it, even a person like you who is extremely lacking in common sense and has a very high vision can realize how good this guy is. In an ordinary school, this guy's popularity or related information, even if Not everyone knows it, at least it’s definitely everywhere, right?”

"kindness."

Mashiro Shiina has no doubt about this.

Not to mention her previous school, even at Suimei Fu High School, Ren Suzuki's reputation has spread throughout the art department.

In addition to the rumors between him and himself, his appearance, achievements, and even his character have been unanimously recognized by everyone.

It can be said that it is normal for people like this to leave rumors in the school.

however--

"No, nothing."

Akasaka Ryunosuke shook his finger:

"There is no trace of Ren Suzuki's presence in Xiuhua High School. No matter it is admission information, gossip news, class photos, transcripts, social account records, or even his own mobile phone, there is no trace left. There are no traces left. Only in the files of Suimei Fu High School is his transfer record. Ha, it’s just like a forged IP address.”

"No... any records?"

On the other side, after hearing Akasaka Ryunosuke’s investigation results, Shiina Mashiro couldn’t help but ask:

"Why is that?"

"So this is the most suspicious part."

Akasaka Ryunosuke spread his hands.

"At the beginning, I thought he just forged Xiuhua's student status. However, not long ago, the discovery of you and Misaki Ueizusa overturned this idea of ​​mine."

"What discovery?"

"That [End of the Band] peripheral T-shirt... Ahem, regarding this, first of all I want to apologize to you. It was wrong of me to use hacking software to eavesdrop on your conversations, but this discovery should also be useful to you. Very useful."

Akasaka Ryunosuke first scratched his head in embarrassment, and then explained:

"The T-shirt that has no sales record on the Internet is actually the uniform of a member of [The End Band]. Logically speaking, only members of the band should own this piece of clothing, but for some reason, Ren Suzuki But he also wears the same team uniform as them."

"!"

After hearing this, Shiina Mashiro's eyes suddenly widened a bit.

This discovery by Akasaka Ryunosuke can be said to be very consistent with her previous guess.

The relationship between Ren Suzuki and Kazuri Goto...or in other words, the relationship with this band is definitely far more complicated than what he said.

"The scope of activities of [End Band] is currently limited to [STARRY] in Shimokitazawa, and the lead guitarist and vocalist are both sophomores at Shuhua High School. If there is some kind of connection between them, then, It suddenly makes sense that Ren Suzuki once belonged to 'Shuhua High School'."

After saying that, Akasaka Ryunosuke spread his hands, and then showed a rather helpless expression.

"Although there are no actual records, we can still find clues about his activities in Shimokitazawa. He is obviously an extremely conspicuous person, but no one remembers his existence... After listening to this, you should understand why I Do you think he is very 'weird'?"

"…………"

Shiina Mashiro, who had been silent for a long time, was still lowering his head in thought, as if he wanted to completely sort out the huge amount of information Akasaka Ryunosuke had just revealed.

"With false identities, unnatural blanks, and various self-contradictory phenomena, Ren Suzuki is such a man full of lies and mysteries... What do you think, are you scared?"

Akasaka Ryunosuke cast a slightly playful look at Shiina Mashiro.

In his opinion, the many unexplainable mysteries he just mentioned are enough to make him re-examine Suzuki Ren in the eyes of ordinary people.
