Why does the Ruined King still fall in love?

Exactly everything I do.All the mistakes I've made have brought me here.If I were someone else instead of me, if I hadn't done what I did, then I wouldn't have met the people I know now.the most important is......

If I had done things differently, I would not have been in this room a year ago, with chairs piled in the back, table in the middle, and a lonely girl reading by the window.

It was Friday night.I've won every game on my PSP, and every game I've left to hang out.A monotonous day makes me start studying.I think if I keep studying on Saturday, I will do well on the science test this time.

Saturdays are used to study...

Somehow I feel like my young school life wasn't what I imagined it to be...

the phone is ringing.

It wasn't until I answered the call, before I could figure out who was calling, that I realized how quickly I was running to the device.My shins hit the coffee table hard.It hurts, but at least I didn't bruise my toe.

The cold glass frame is pressed against my ear.Only then did I wonder who called me.

"Hello hello!"

Oh.

"what?"

I didn't mean to be cold, but my mouth was still shaking.

"Biqigu-kun!" Yukinoshita Yoshino pouted. "Are you still mad at the bakery? Or are you still pissed off about the wedding reception? Aah, you're so girly - it's not good to hold a grudge, you know? What if you're turned into a ghost in a video? "

If I were going to the hell out of there, I'd go to the most sociopath in the world and tell him to go on dates with girls or he'd die.At least then it will be fun.

"What do you want to say?"

For reasons I didn't realize I changed the subject on my own initiative.

Yang Nai sighed. "I just wanted to see my ex-brother-in-law, you know?"

"Ex-brother-in-law? I was never your brother-in-law."

"Yes, yes! You will never be."

Her voice sent a chill through the room.I can almost see that smirk in my head.

They all have the same smile.

"But you looked like a fool!" Yang Nai laughed. "You're so ridiculous, Hikigu-kun. So funny! If Mom and Dad weren't sitting there, I would have laughed out loud right then and there. Do you know how hard it is to keep a straight face about all of this?"

"I am sick......"

"Anyway," Ono continued, ignoring me completely. "My mother hates you. Hehe! If you asked, you might have a chance to marry Yukino-chan. Because then, when you are my brother-in-law, my mother can dedicate every day to you and make you want to divorce .”

"I'm going to sign these papers right away," I laughed to myself.

"But wouldn't it make her sad?"

"Why would your mother...?"

"Are you still sick, Mr. Qigu? Because you are slow today~"

Oh.She wasn't referring to her mother.wait...why?

"No matter what, Dad still likes you," Yang Nai said.I can just imagine the smile on her face when she said that. "Maybe you can meet him at the mansion...ah...but I can't invite any friends to the garden party!"

A villa? Friends? A garden party? I think Yuigahama may have mentioned...  

"what are you saying?"

"Well, look... ah."

There was silence on the phone.I heard someone scuffling behind, and someone talking, one is Yukinoshita Haruno, the other is...

"...Bichigu-kun?"

There was a loud bang, like a table had been knocked over.Heavy breathing and shouting followed, before the door slammed shut.Is Yang Nai being chased? There is a lot of screaming...

wait......

Did I witness the murder over the phone?

"Hey..." I said. "Are you okay? Hey! Where are you?"

"Sorry!" Yang Nai sounded out of breath, like she just spent 80 days running around the earth.

"I was eating a nice piece of salmon and it fell to the floor."

"Forehead......!"

Yukinoshita Haruno is not the President of the United States! She will not suddenly faint from eating traditional neon food!

"You are honest!"

Few things are more irritating than a person hiding your knowledge and giggling at your ignorance.

"Anyway, Hikigu. We're having a big prom, and it's hot in this... this closet.

"In the closet? What are you doing there?"

There was the sound of chopping wood on the other end of the phone.

"Oh, you know, it'll help me meditate," Yang Nao shouted over the din. "But whoever it is! Garden party. The day after tomorrow! Family and friends of the Yukinoshita family~! You've got to have a good name because it's a big family fundraiser. You know, if you're Hayama, or Genji, or . …”

"...Okay," I gritted my teeth. "what are you talking about?"

"Hey! Do you know the girl who rejected you? Xiangru... Xiang..."

Visions of the past suddenly appeared in my mind.

"Orimoto Kaori." I gritted my teeth and said.

"She's also on the list," Yukinoshita Haruno exclaimed excitedly.

"Glad you know, but—"

There was a loud bang from the phone, like wood being splintered with a sledgehammer.

"I think I'll have to tell the secret now."

For the first time since I've known her, Yukinoshita's voice sounded a little scared.

"Good luck! Bye!"

Click.

The call is over.So what the hell is that? Good luck? Good luck what? Why would Yukinoshita tell me about some random party?

and many more......

just inviting...

The book will be there...

Maybe this is the way Yukinoshita Yoshino does things...never direct, never confrontational.Always act as an observer of indirect pushes rather than direct pushes.I was lost in the midst of a monotonous day and this woman gave me a purpose.The key is clearly there for me to hold...

All I need to do is ask.

The degree of desperation in humans is measured by their willingness to accept the challenge.Humans don't rise to the challenge, they buckle, bend, and eventually crumble.

It's an odd strategy to meet another girl for the sake of one girl—if I want to see Yukinoshita Yukino again, then my line is clear: I have to ask Kaori Orimoto out again.

Chapter 120 Seven Short Story A Date Full of Contradictions

With my half-hearted determination, I will show fear to the world.

wait.

wait.

Still waiting.

A plastic bag flies across the path.It seems so free and liberating.I wish I was that plastic bag and let the wind carry me where it chooses.As long as I'm not here, I'm willing to go anywhere.

Oh, I'm so envious of that plastic bag.

I never thought that someone like Kaori Orimoto would go to a cram school.Yet, there she is.And here I am:

wait.

There are several keys to a successful confession: timing, mutual feeling, and an authentic vibe.If any one element is missing, it is best to delay your attempt, or you will be humiliated.But for me, time is the most important thing.It takes a good liar to accomplish something like this.

And I'm the biggest liar of them all.

it's time.The evening bell rang, and the cram school students began to swarm out.They play in singles, doubles or teams.No doubt they longed for a meager social life in the twilight of the day.

These people have no purpose like mine.

She is there and she is not alone.President Tachibana was with her.

This is an unknown factor.

Taking a deep breath, I reflect on my training.I spent hours, if not days, playing sims and reading visual novels preparing for this moment.While I didn't have a devil's helper to help me, nor put their guillotine collar around my neck, nothing stopped me from completing the task.

The first step is to separate Orimoto from Tachibana's team, so that I can concentrate everything on Orimoto's side.

To do this, I need to keep the book and myself away from third parties.

"Fold book!"

I called her.This was an excessive move.I blamed my nervousness.

"Hikigaya? Oh hey! It's you! How are you doing! How are you doing?"

Did she say the same thing twice in a row?

"Well, I'm sorry, but Benben and I are committed to the improvement of our people, society, communication, communication and social, society, status, status, which is helpful to the modern, modern, world, world .”

"well said!"

At that moment, I deeply realized that maybe Orimoto is not just a good girl, she not only socializes with everyone, but treats everyone equally.Maybe, she really didn't know what others were talking about.Then again, she's the type to go with the flow.

"Can I speak to Orimoto alone?"

President Tachibana is like a bear that saw honey.

"Haha. That's weird, Biqi—"

"Fold book. Please."

Orimoto walked up to me.She glanced back at President Tachibana.

People walk past us.Several people glanced in our direction.

I think it's weird to see a boy waiting for a girl outside a cram school.That's what boyfriends do, right? Orimoto is bound to become famous because she's going to get a lot of gossip.

She didn't seem to notice any of this.

"Hikigaya? Hey, are you listening?"

Orimoto's hand started waving in front of me.

"I just wanted to talk," I said.I put my hands in my pockets.Because I don't know what to do with them.

"Oh, all right." Orimoto said immediately.

She turned around, said a few words, and waved goodbye to her friends.

She adjusted the schoolbag on her shoulders. "So where are we going?"

I scratched my head, "Um... I think it's a walk." I said, and walked away.

They say humans have a sixth sense and know when they are being watched.It's like how people feel in horror movies when they see monsters or female ghosts stalking them, or when soldiers feel like they have laser sights on their backs.Your every movement is being watched, scrutinized and carefully analyzed for them to get any information they want.

My friends who have lost books are still staring at me, and I want to leave them.

We walked for quite a long way until I was convinced that it was impossible to get hit on the head.

"So." I began to speak. "I heard that your family was invited to participate in the Yukinoshita family's fundraising event..."

"It's because of my parents." She shrugged, twisting a strand of hair around her finger, "You've probably heard before..."

I frowned.I do remember her telling me about her parents once.They were rich businessmen or something who owned a small chain of discount stores.They are popular with older people who happen to be loyal voters.Not surprisingly, this gives the Orben family some leeway in the politics of the region.

"Yes. I remember," I said. "So you were invited to the Yukinoshita Clan's party, right?"

"Yes, I'm included in the invitation..." Origami narrowed his eyes. "What's the matter?"

"I want to go." I said.

"Huh?" Orimoto's eyes widened.

"I want to go to the party at Yukinoshita Villa." I repeated.
