Why does the Ruined King still fall in love?

Yuigahama had dinner with Miura and Ebina today.To repeat, Yuigahama now eats with Miura's small group every day.Under the circumstances, it's not surprising that she wanted to keep me at arm's length.

For now, Yuigahama and Miura together is the best situation.Miura seems to be troubled by Hayama Hayato recently.Since then, he has returned to school, but not Yukinoshita.

Although I think if Yukinoshita is here, you'll definitely want to separate them, or you might cause another Eye of Cthulhu in the universe.Literally, a hellish spectacle rampaging through neon streets, that abhorrence of the soul doesn't sound too far off from typical AI comics.

Well, even if Hayama Hayato was back - he wasn't at the club's events.This is well known, as Tobe has been complaining loudly about Hayato's absence and the mood of the football team has deteriorated.Somehow, I feel like I agree with Hayato Hayama that, at this point in time, secondary high school club sports should take a backseat.

Alas, at least my lunches are back to normal.

But at this moment, the footsteps in the hall began to pick up speed.

Presumably some student was late and now desperately trying to make sure she gets something other than pigeons?

"Ah hello! Everyone!!"

"Hmm... Isshiki?"

"Yup! yup!. It's me! Iroha—————————" Posing, she posed, sticking out her tongue, and making a V sign with both hands.

You are not some fake Italian plumber!

"What are you doing here?" I said, going back to my lunch, thinking my indifference would be enough to drive her away.Unfortunately, when a wild Iroha shows up, it's not as easy as choosing the "flee" command and the fight will end.

"I heard that you are very sad, senior, so I came to see you!"

Are you Dr. Isshiki? If you were a doctor, I would be suing you for malpractice right now.Anyway, Isshiki came, and she meant well.But didn't she know that Yuigahama and Yukinoshita didn't come?

"You know, the other two are not here."

"I know! But, you are the most frustrated person, senior."

"so......?"

This question seems appropriate.What is it that makes me feel bad? I mean, it doesn't look like her problem.Anyway, Isshiki stood there with his hands on his hips, and pointed at me theatrically.

"It is the responsibility of the younger generation to cheer up the older generation!"

What kind of ridiculous stupidity is that?

She dragged me out of lunch and pulled me close.Her shampoo smells like fresh citrus, the top three buttons of her shirt are loose... hey, if someone walks in... an empty bar with only one boy and one girl away So close...my life is not a teenage rom-com, but misunderstandings do happen!

"Too close," I said, trying to push her away.

"No! Ga!" Isshiki gripped my sleeve even tighter, as if trying to pull me out of my sweetness. "I'm a Huaxia-style finger net! The more you try to pull me, the tighter I get. Ga!"

I did my best to pry her away while I was wondering whether Isshiki wanted to be a lion or a koala.In the end, Isshiki nearly ripped my sleeve off.This is the precious property of Biqigu.

"Okay, senior, do you know what makes me happy?"

"Let me go?"

"Hang out with someone you like!"

"That seems boring," I said.What good is hanging out with people? Are you going to hang out with friends? What if you were me and had no friends?

"Bored? But you can do more with other people, you can go bowling, skate or—"

"Too much cash for me."

"Senior, you are so frustrating. Let's go!"

"Let's go...where?"

"I'm down right now so cheer me up! Heal me!"

"You've been spoiled. I should stop funding you." The girl quickly becomes Komachi 2.0.

"Bah, zero points, senior. Let's go!"

"Oh my God. Alright. I'm here." Before I finished speaking, Isshiki immediately dragged me out of the room and locked the door.

Dating a beautiful young girl is every silly boy's fantasy.

The usual fare at an amusement park is: rides and games.

Even after eating one serving, we grabbed some snacks to eat.

A bear mascot wearing a top hat then presents a free balloon as a compliment to the park.

She held onto the balloon tightly, being careful not to let it fly away.She'll hold on to it like she's holding onto your arm.Her head rests on your shoulder.

You might think that's my dream, but it's not like that.

What is unreasonable is that today it becomes a reality.

"Oh-oh...a little too close," I said, hoping she'd pick up on the context.However, Isshiroba is not someone who is not intimidated by the obvious, much less by the expected.

Instead, she gripped my arm even tighter, almost letting the balloon slip from her gloved hand through her fingers.

"oops!"

I grabbed it with my free arm.

"You'd better hold on to it," I said, handing the balloon back to her.

She gave a 12.1-megawatt smile as my fingers made contact with hers and the red wires exchanged between our fingers.

There was a moment of embarrassment.Crowds walked past us as we stood in the middle of the cobbled road.We neither move nor speak.She just smiled.Then, like an alert fox, she pointed enthusiastically toward the Chiba skyline.

"I want to do that next thing, senior!"

In this way, Iroha pointed the way for our next adventure.

We got on the Ferris wheel.We were both very close along the way.I don't think anyone would mistake us for brothers and sisters.If anything, we were just mistaken for a couple walking in an amusement park.

The ride on the Ferris wheel itself is fairly peaceful.

A creaking machine.People are like little stars, little by little.They walked and chatted.People are watching you, and in the moment, you forget about your own life and just watch someone else, and there is a sense of serenity.But no matter what seems to be there to learn, in the end, everyone makes mistakes.So there must be something there that we need to learn.

Iroha was also looking out the window.When I looked at her, she must have sensed that I was looking at her too, because she was turning around and smiling at me.

what can i say to her

Nice? Is it pleasant?

Is there anything to say... Maybe I feel a little bit happier with her?

"Hey, senpai." Iroha said, breaking the cold and silent night.

"Um?"

"Are you having fun?"

"Yeah." I replied quickly.But I look away.I don't want to see the mischievous twinkle in her eyes.

"I am also very happy."

The awkward silence regained its unfathomable glory.In the back of my mind, I wish things were more like a rom-com, where laughter randomly ensures everything works out.

But my life is no comedy, and certainly not any romance.

Romance takes work.

The road is long and long, and people will search up and down.

I'm close, at least I think I'm close, I realize, I feel connected to something, but I'm still far from it.

Somehow, I felt like Schrödinger's cat, every time I tried to make sure the cat was safe, I realized the cat was dead.It's death anyway...

Maybe, if I can express it, I can get closer to understanding what it means.

"Isshiki, do you still remember when you confessed your love to Hayama Hayato?"

Isshiki looked at me as if I were the Grim Reaper, the destroyer of worlds.

"Sorry to bring up such a bad memory—"

"I remember."

The killer silence is back, trailing us.However, I asked a question to drive it away.

"how did you do it?"

"Huh?" Isshiki pointed to himself, as if I could talk to anyone else in this crowded ferris wheel. "Are you asking me?" She continued to blink rather cutely.

"Who else would I talk to? I just want to know, how do you...well, express your feelings?"

"Good, good, good! Although you are my senior in terms of grades, I am your senior in terms of love! After all, I have already confessed my love to Hayama Hayato. Haha. Haha. Ha!" Ended with a strong smile, Was trying to be like some lady with a broken back in one thing, but I digressed.

Her attitude wasn't arrogant, but I felt compelled to knock her down.

"You know, it's no big deal to confess to someone. I've done it before—"

Before I knew it, it was slipping out of my big mouth.

Isshiki's laughter subsided.Her mouth became a pair of quiet, trembling lips.Maybe my expectations were too high.Maybe Ishiroba is not as predictable as I thought.

"She said 'no,' didn't she?"

"Obviously so."

Isshiki sat there, meditating with a sly smile on his face.

"Then she must be smart and different from you. You really aren't a good investment, senpai. You're not good-looking enough, and you have terrible manners, not to mention your academic and employment prospects. At most you will Be a light novel editor or writer of a literary column, write some controversial opinions, insult 99% of the world, inspire the remaining 1% to pursue a way of life, make a mother shed tears for her single, unmarried son .”

Sorry, I'm not an anime professional.

Chapter 130 Short Story Gathering in the Universe

"I didn't ask you out or anything..."

"Are you flirting with me?"

That's exactly what I said I didn't do!

"Hey listen, I just wanted to know...how did you find the strength to express how you really feel?"

A color feather tilted his head.

"I think it's just a matter of fate. That's why I'm doing it. Plus my... spur of the moment?"

"It seems odd to do it just for fun," I murmured.

"Senior and your stupid literary terms!"

"I try to sound smart. Forgive me if I make you feel insecure with my over-the-top words."

Isshiki put a finger to her lips, which held a faint smile.

"That's a good sign that you're talking to me like she is."

I cringe at the thought.

Maybe I'm just looking for an outlet.Maybe I just want the same things as before.Maybe I already have feelings.Maybe I exposed my sensitive lower belly and I needed its scars.maybe...maybe...

still......

Maybe my life is stuck on a railroad.There is no way for me to change my destination.Maybe that's what I was meant to be.

Hikigaya Hachiman is a nobody, and will always be a nobody, always alone.

We left the ferris wheel and wandered around.The theme park doesn't open until after midnight, although it closes an hour later.

Suddenly, the fireworks show started.

Isshiki looked over with great interest, the really prominent castle in the center of the park.

Isshiki stopped suddenly.why?

The reason lies just a few meters away from us.

They look like a good match.

They stood there, albeit with blank faces between each other: Yukinoshita Yukino and Hayama Hayato.

We were both looking at them.It didn't take long for them to become aware of our presence.Even in crowds, we start to approach each other like a pair of positive and negative charges.All of us have been pulled into a planetary orbit, completely sucked in by gravity.

"me."

Words seemed to be forming on the tip of my tongue, but not a word escaped my mouth.They are trapped in cages like birds.

"Hello."

Oddly enough, the Ice Queen broke the ice.

Yukinoshita was looking at both of us, her smile, as small as before, gone now, replaced by straight lips.
