"The probability is even smaller than what I promised Senior. It's basically impossible."
"Then it looks like the probability is quite high." Kasumigaoka Utaha said with a smile.
Ignoring this self-conceited woman, everyone hiding at the scene focused all their attention on the two people in the center of the stage.
The bamboo forest at night was flickering with gentle lights, and Tobe Sho's brave confession was uttered, but the distance was too far, and even people with the best hearing could not hear it clearly.
But by judging the facial expressions, you can guess the general plot.
Ebina, who was not surprised, did not show any surprise. He nodded quietly, then opened his lips and said a few words. Then Tobe Sho's expression became embarrassed.
Then he became dejected and tried hard to appear calm, but he just couldn't muster that composure. In the end, he fled towards this side like a stray dog.
Natsume thought that he was not very familiar with him, so he did not presume to go out and comfort him. Besides, with Ye Shan and the others around, this guy would not be so anxious as to jump into the river.
Over there, Ebina, who stayed in the center of the stage, also had her best friend next to her. They were leaning against each other and talking about something.
"it's over?"
After the incoherent pantomime ended, Senior Kasumigaoka smacked her lips in dissatisfaction, feeling that what she wanted to see was not shown at all.
"What else? Are you planning to watch a TV series?" Natsume Rin was very satisfied. No matter how much she said, it would not be as effective as Ebina's few words.
"Although I wasted a lot of time, it's worth the trip to see the bamboo forest of Arashiyama at night."
Natsume Rin clapped her hands and told everyone not to just focus on gossip, but also to pay attention and appreciate the beautiful scenery around them.
Besides, it was not early anymore. The buses had stopped running and they would have to walk back to the hotel tonight.
"Get ready to go back, Minister, please work harder."
Yukino, who was thinking, glared at him. She didn't expose this guy. As a result, every time he had to travel a long distance, he always liked to make fun of his own physical strength.
"that……"
Shiina Mahiru, who had been silent since going up the mountain, grabbed the corner of Natsume Rin's clothes.
"Natsume-san, I have something to tell you."
"..."
The ominous premonition became stronger, and Natsume Rin swallowed her saliva as she looked down at Mahiru's little hands pulling at her clothes.
"Shiina-san?"
"Right here, I think now is the best time. Although it may be a little abrupt, I will feel uncomfortable if I don't say it." Shiina Mahiru grabbed the corner of my clothes and her speech speed gradually increased.
Kasumigaoka Utaha, who also realized what was going to happen, opened her mouth wide. She didn't expect that the seemingly amiable Shiina Mahiru could be so wild when confessing.
Yukino had a blank expression on her face; she was about to face her biggest test.
Should she help her close brother maintain this fake relationship, or should she directly expose his true face?
"I'm sorry... I may be too excited and can't even organize my words, but the meaning is clear. Natsume-san, I like you."
A blush appeared on Shiina Mahiru's lovely cheeks, and her golden hair was even more dazzling under the light. As her owner became more excited, her plump breasts rose and fell with obvious amplitude.
"Be my boyfriend."
All the girl's emotions were contained in these simple words. She looked at Natsume Rin expectantly, hoping to get the answer she wanted.
"I refuse." Natsume Rin, whose expression did not change from beginning to end, looked up at the dark sky.
He didn't intend to become someone he hated.
To hell with all that hesitation!
"……Why?"
"Because I have a girlfriend."
Chapter 141 The God of Pure Love rose up!
"Tsk tsk tsk, she was crying." Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was squatting next to Natsume Rin, said gloatingly.
"Please, even if I have to cry, I should be the first one." Natsume Rin touched her red cheeks and felt inexplicably happy.
I was clearly slapped in the face, but after I spoke out my true feelings, the guilty feeling of hiding it finally disappeared.
The bamboo forest that was bustling just now was now home to only the two of them. Mahiru ran down the mountain crying, and Yukino followed her out of concern that something might have happened to her.
"You don't deserve this slap. Even if I heard what you said just now, I would have the urge to beat you up." Kasumigaoka Utaha placed her cold palm on Natsume Rin's face, as if comparing the size with the palm print left by Shiina Mahiru.
"Interview Natsume-san, how did you manage to confess your love to someone so openly after admitting that you have a girlfriend? Is it because you are thick-skinned?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Natsume Rin with her beautiful eyes, trying to see his true thoughts.
"No." Natsume Rin answered the question seriously: "It's by being shameless."
Yes, after rejecting Mahiru's confession and telling her openly that she has a girlfriend, Natsume Rin confessed to Shiina again.
This confusing operation, after causing Shiina's rage and attack, made Natsume Rin feel relieved.
He doesn't mind being a scumbag. Even if Yukino hadn't said those words to him, he has a lot of experience and while he yearns for love, he still retains the thoughts that a boy should have.
He just doesn't want to rely on lies and deception to maintain multiple relationships.
"What a scumbag, it turns out I was wrong about Natsume-kun." Kasumigaoka Utaha helped him up.
After going through so many things, time has slowly approached nine o'clock. The first wave of confession crowd has disappeared on the mountain, and the heroines of the second wave have also left early. Now it is only the two of them who are walking back together.
"No wonder you rejected me so straightforwardly the last time I confessed to you. Why didn't you say it like this today? Is it because you haven't thought it through?"
The bamboo forest was very quiet at night. There were only footsteps and the voice of her senior on the stone path. She looked at the dark environment deep in the bamboo forest around her and subconsciously moved closer to Natsume Rin.
"No, because I don't like you." Natsume Rin said calmly: "The reason why I don't want to deceive Shiina-san is because I like her and I still want to pursue her. As for senior sister, I don't think there is any possibility for the two of us to continue to develop."
His overly frank words made Kasumigaoka Utaha's body tense. She never thought that there would be a day when she would receive such words of rejection.
It was only then that Kasumigaoka Utaha realized that all of Natsume Rin's rejections had nothing to do with playing hard to get, but that she simply didn't like her.
As for the reaction when you tease him, it is just a response from male instinct.
"I would actually be a loser..." Kasumigaoka Utaha pointed at herself in disbelief, unable to accept this reality for a moment.
A loser would be fine, but being such a loser is even worse than Eriri, whom she often mocks.
"The senior is indeed very outstanding. She is beautiful, has the perseverance that a creator should have, and her academic performance is also excellent. But the problem is, we are not very familiar with each other." Natsume Rin shrugged and expressed her true thoughts.
"Even though you were so proactive some time ago, you still gave me the impression that you were just a pretty senior who only cared about appearance."
There are always people like this in Natsume Rin's school life. Even though the first few are far inferior to Kasumigaoka Utaha in terms of appearance, their essence is exactly the same in Natsume Rin's heart.
Senior Kasumigaoka squinted her eyes and looked at the boy's calm face under the light, as if she understood what he was pursuing.
"It turns out that my junior likes sincere feelings and doesn't care much about the body and appearance."
"You can't say that..."
Speaking of this, Natsume Rin felt a little guilty. The reason why he was caught by Yukinoshita Haruno was because he couldn't resist the temptation of his body.
Although I was still unsure of my feelings for Shiina-san at that time, it was essentially my own fault.
"But senior, you're going to graduate soon. Even if you want to pursue a relationship, it's better to wait until you're in college."
"Hehe." Kasumigaoka Utaha sneered.
"And I already have a girlfriend..." Natsume Rin is still trying to keep the relationships around her simpler.
Why make it so complicated? He wasn't going to knit a sweater.
"Junior, I'm not as fragile as Shiina-san. You just have a girlfriend and you're not married. And seeing how you can't wait to pursue Shiina Mahiru, your relationship with your girlfriend must not be good, right?"
"Since the relationship is not good, it means there is a possibility of separation, so I don't mind speeding up the process. Anyway, I am not a good woman."
Kasumigaoka Utaha lifted her long hair gracefully, then quickened her pace and walked down the mountain, leaving Natsume Rin staring at her back in dumbfounded silence.
……
On the bench by the roadside, Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Shiina Mahiru who was crying silently and thought of many things. In the end, although she was not good at persuasion, she patted Shiina's shoulder.
"Let's go, we should go back."
Shiina Mahiru raised her head, her tearful little face full of traces. Yukino, who had been competing with her before, softened her heart when she saw her like this.
He sighed and put the coat he was wearing on Shiina Mahiru.
"You... did you... already know this?" Mahiru grabbed the collar of her coat, her tone tearful.
"Shiina-san, I advised you during the sports festival not to ignore your family background. Leaving Natsume Rin is what you should do." Yukino answered the question irrelevantly, staring at the dark sky.
"So... you still know." Mahiru grabbed Yukino's sleeve and looked at her intently.
Xiaoxue's subtext is that she knows that Natsume Rin has a boyfriend, but she doesn't want to let herself go her own way, so she chooses to use other excuses to persuade herself.
"Actually, I don't want to know, but his relationship with me is so complicated." Yukino looked at her helplessly, "Originally, I was on his side, but... Shiina-san and I have been together for so long, the emotional balance will naturally change. I don't want you to be deceived, so I hinted at you."
Yukino admitted that she had a very bad personality. Not only did she say a lot of hurtful things without considering the other person's feelings when communicating with others, but when she had to make a decision that might hurt the people around her, she would rather be the one who got hurt.
Paranoid and awkward, arrogant and gentle, vicious in words but kind in heart, this is how Natsume Rin describes her.
"But what surprises me is that he didn't continue to lie to you."
"If Natsume Rin agrees, I might demolish him..."
Chapter 142 Ah~The breath of philosophy!
"Really?" Shiina Mahiru looked at Yukino doubtfully.
The experience of being deceived made her more vigilant than ever before, and Xiaoxue was also an accomplice in the previous period.
"I have never lied to you." Xueno said softly, correcting her wrong thoughts.
She just didn't speak based on Natsume Rin's true situation, but she never engaged in any verbal fraud or inducement from beginning to end.
Shiina Mahiru looked at Yukino with a calm face, gritted her teeth and hugged her: "Xiaoxue, I hate you."
"Well, I did do something wrong. I'm sorry." Patting her on the back, Yukino's tone was particularly gentle: "But now I can correct it. Can you forgive me, Shiina-san?"
"Um……"
Her answer was vague, and after loosening her arms around Yukino and wiping away the tears from her eyes, the normally archangel returned to her normal self.
Looking forward with her head held high, Mahiru's eyes were full of determination. She didn't want to be sad because of a boy.
