Guitar, loneliness and the blue sea

"He also bought me breakfast, cleaned my room, and actually washed all my clothes."

"Shut up, it's just an occupational disease!"

"So, what's going on in the House of All Things?"

Yusuke took out the flyer he had just received from the old housekeeper from his trouser pocket.

"I don't remember that your business has opened in Izu, and the target group is Izu and Aonome students. What do you want to do?"

"That's enough. Stop talking about such boring things. It won't happen again."

Hayasaka Ai stood up angrily, but suddenly felt a headache and sat down again dejectedly.

"You can go, I don't want the money anymore, just think of it as doing a good deed to someone you don't know."

"Ugh."

I can bear it.

As expected of her.

Yusuke turned around and picked up the pink wig and yellow and blue headdress on the side.

"But maybe this is fate."

"..."

"How have you been lately?" he asked softly.

"..."

Hayasaka Ai had a look of disdain on her face that said, "I'm too lazy to care about you."

"I really hope you are doing well. I know you haven't been back to Tokyo for a long time. Indeed, everyone is gone, and there is no point in going back."

"..."

"Thank you very much for what happened yesterday. You are the only one who can do such a thorough job."

"..."

"When you are tired from traveling, come to Izu to play with me. You are always welcome."

"..."

"Goodbye, Xiao Ai. I'm really happy to see you again, okay?"

"..."

Kasumigaoka Yusuke opened the door of the box and walked out slowly.

one second.

two seconds.

three seconds.

You didn't catch up?

He couldn't help sighing slightly.

But soon, rapid footsteps sounded behind him.

"What's wrong? Xiao Ai, what do you want to say to me--"

But before he could finish speaking, something grabbed his waist.

Before he could react, his feet left the ground.

Then the world spins!

Ai Hayasaka, who had broken her guard, was in tears, and used a German-style bridge throw on the unprepared Yusuke Kasumigaoka!

"Ah~~~"

Life is so happy.

074 I don’t want to fall in love anyway

Miss Ai couldn't understand why she was lying on the lap of the man whose neck had just been nearly broken.

All in all, she hadn't really shed tears in maybe ten years.Her work never required emotion, and neither did she.

Whether she was a double agent for the Shinomiya family, a maid for the eldest lady, or traveling, she managed it all by herself.

However, the higher the normal defense, the more severe the collapse will be when the defense is broken.

Therefore, under the catalysis of alcohol, years of loneliness, guilt, inferiority, and powerlessness, all the negative emotions that everyone has, all came out at once.

Kasumigaoka Yusuke was sitting on the sofa in the private room, rubbing his painful neck with one hand, and stroking the girl's shoulder-length hair as soft and smooth as silk brocade with one hand.

"I can cry so much, my pants are all wet."

"You still have the nerve to say that it's not because you bullied me?" Xiao Ai said angrily.

"Yoshiyoshi, it's okay to cry. Sometimes you have to cry. You don't have to be perfect all the time. It's cute to be a stupid maid who makes mistakes occasionally, isn't it?"

As he spoke, he wiped away the tears from her tender face with his fingers.

"Just stop using it after falling on the arch bridge... I almost broke my neck. I feel like I need to check for concussion tomorrow..."

Snapped--

Hayasaka Ai slapped his palm away.

She sat up, trembling, and straightened her messy hair.

"...You say those useless words again. I hate Asasi. You are a grown man, can you...be a little wilder?"

Yusuke knows that compared to ordinary soft-hearted Japanese male protagonists, Xiao Ai prefers hard-core, independent-minded and stylish men.

That being said, it would be nice if I didn’t shave yesterday’s stubble~~

"What does it mean to be wild? I just chased you all the way on the highway, and then I physically resisted falling from an arch bridge. Isn't this wild enough?" He smiled bitterly.

"...Then, drink this."

Hayasaka Ai took out a new bottle of gin liquid from somewhere.

Has she also learned the skill of getting wine from the void? !

Kasumigaoka Yusuke took the bottle and looked at it, his eyes widened.

"85 degrees! Are you serious?! Are you deliberately taking revenge on me?"

But Hayasaka Ai pouted and pretended to be dissatisfied:

"Hmph, those two people drank five drinks each? Isn't Youjun inferior to them?"

Youjun shook his head. He knew that this was a way to provoke a general, but if a woman looked at you with such provocative eyes and said such words, then he would not be able to swallow this breath no matter what.

"You know, if you drink, you won't be able to leave tonight, right?"

No matter what, you can't drink and drive~

Hayasaka Ai blushed, rubbed her red and swollen eyes, and avoided looking.

"The bed in my suite is quite big."

"...Okay, I know, I know, let me brew for a while -"

Yusuke opened the bottle cap.

"Then, please bear witness——"

He took a deep breath, then raised his head, and poured it into the cup, just like drinking mineral water, gurgling.

His expression remained unchanged, only his Adam's apple was trembling.

The liquid in the bottle continued to decrease, and not a drop was spilled.

"enough..."

Hayasaka Ai quickly stopped him.Although this was what she asked for, as a person with common sense, she always felt that drinking like this was dangerous!

"Puha-"

After drinking half the bottle, Yusuke felt that all the veins on his face were popping out!

It felt like an electric drill was drilling between my eyebrows, and the whole brain was buzzing.

However, he is already familiar with this feeling!

"How about it, wild enough?"

Yusuke gave a thumbs up and showed a hearty smile.His voice was hoarse when he spoke.

"...I keep exercising every day just for this day!"

Hayasaka burst into laughter and patted his back gently.

"...Idiot, if I ask you to jump off the building, will you jump too?"

He blinked his red eyes gently, seeming to have an enchanting charm.

"Jump, jump hard."

"Then you will regret it for the rest of your life."

...

Although Hayasaka Ai has resigned from the Shinomiya family, her mother is still a high-ranking member of the chaebol, and she is still the fraternal sister of Miss Shinomiya Kaguya.

So, for her convenience, the entire restaurant was closed.

The two people who had been separated for a long time could finally have a good chat.

"I see, I have been a homeless person since I graduated from high school. When I returned to the Shinomiya family, I felt that I was too bored to be alone. Then when I went to live in the Fujiwara family, I was kicked out by others because I was idle. It's really miserable."

Kasumigaoka Yusuke was eating the sashimi on the table as if nothing had happened while commenting on Hayasaka Ai's schedule in the past few months.

"Unlike some dudes who have never worked a day at work, I have worked conscientiously for 11 years." Xiao Ai mocked, "Since I was nine years old, I have worked 360 and five days a year with zero holidays. I am such an outstanding person, Don’t you deserve a long vacation?”

"It's a good match. I understand that feeling."

"...How do you, a pampered guy like you, understand this?" Hayasaka Ai said disdainfully.

"I can be considered a professional. My profession is to help light novel writers collect materials, which is also to fall in love."

"Tch, it's just an excuse to be a scumbag."

Xiao Ai had wiped her red and swollen eyes on his shoulder, but her dizziness and nausea were getting worse.

But this also means that she can finally let go of all her defenses and act like a spoiled child.She held his arms like an angular pillow.

"Falling is also very labor-intensive. From acquaintance to falling in love, every step must be carefully planned. The timing of holding hands, the angle of kissing, and the intention of giving gifts during the holidays must be just right. You also need to understand the other person's hobbies and get involved. Apply appropriate tenderness to the other person's world. Be humorous, be handsome, be sexy, be one-on-one, and be sincere for sincerity. Only in this way can you have a flavorful love that is worth remembering."

Yusuke talked to himself. He had wanted to say this for a long time, but except for the year-round love, others might not be able to understand it.

"...But it's very tiring. I've done it so many times that I'm exhausted!"

Hayasaka Ai does understand.

None of the exes he had messed with were easy on the gas.

And when added together, the degree of difficulty increases exponentially.

No wonder Youjun loses his hair every day.

Kasumigaoka Yusuke put down his chopsticks, picked up the half-empty bottle of gin, and took a big sip.

"So, it may hurt to say this. But I, love—"

"——I don't want to fall in love anymore no matter what."

He looked at her with a bitter expression.

Hayasaka Ai was neither shocked nor sad.

In fact, she had already guessed it.
