At the moment, he really doesn't dare to look at Muzi's face.
Because as soon as he saw Muzi's face, he seemed to go back to the past, remembering every afternoon they spent together in high school.
I remember the day when she secretly ran up to me from behind, stuffed the chocolates she had made in advance into my mouth, and said to me with a smile, "Today is Valentine's Day!"
At that time, they were both still young high school students.
The biggest worry is how to cope with the next exam.
My biggest expectation is to go somewhere together after school.
ah.
Another time, I took her on the dean's bicycle.
Because he wanted to take her back to see the dean, he was discovered by the police on the way.
In Japan, it is illegal to sit on the back seat of a bicycle.
So he had to ride his bicycle with Muzi on the back and use all his strength to ride back to the welfare home.
It seems like I haven't felt that kind of anticipation for a long time.
I want to go everywhere and have fun everywhere.
Is it because of losing Muzi?
"Shu, why don't you open your eyes?"
".nothing."
"Do you understand what I just said to you?"
"of course."
"Shu, you can call me mean or scheming. I just want you to understand how I see you. You are my 'first love', and the term 'first love' is not just a saying to me."
".Muzi, you haven't answered my question yet."
"You speak first."
"Why should I say it first?"
"You tell me first, so I can be ready to give you an answer."
"."
Akai Muzi stared at him.
She was feeling anxious.
Even though he already knew what kind of answer Fujii Itsuki would give him, he was still a little uneasy when it actually happened.
"I would definitely say no."
"Can you, tree, separate everything from me?"
".As long as you can let go of your feelings for me."
"After hearing what I said, do you think this is possible?"
'It seems impossible'
"And we will still be colleagues in the future, working in the same school and the same wind band.
"I will still accept your invitations, go out for drinks with you, and listen to your complaints about work stress every week.
"I will still substitute for you in class and visit the dean occasionally.
"If I'm sad, I'll ask you to come out for a drink. If I tell you about my troubles, will you refuse to comfort me?"
"."
List the things one by one.
All Fujii Itsuki could say was to sigh.
He knew that he was a soft-hearted person.
Akai Muzi smiled and said, "Do I know you too well?"
"Then let me make it clear, I have already rejected you, and now I always regard you as my best friend. It's just that we had some past in high school, and I still have some feelings for you now."
"Shu, you can refuse if you want, but that won't stop me from pursuing you and helping you share some of the pressure from work."
"Muzi, you——"
"Hmm, cunning, huh~"
Fujii Itsuki was helpless and said to Akai Muko who was laughing:
"Did you prepare this answer just now?"
"That's right. When I knew that you still had some feelings for me, Shu, I thought of this answer. Whether you refuse or not, my choice will not change."
"Even if it causes you pain?"
"Is it painful?"
"Isn't it painful? I promised Chitose."
"You take care of her, but I don't get any less comfort from you?"
"."
Fujii Itsuki was speechless.
He didn't quite understand why Akai Muzi could make the emotional struggle between the two women sound so light-hearted.
He was puzzled.
At once.
It was like she didn't care at all that she cheated.
This may be a bit biased.
But that's the feeling it gives people.
However, Fujii Itsuki understood after a little thought.
muzi
Muzi doesn't consider Qiansui as an opponent at all!
She also treats Chitose as her younger sister.
Even though she said that she had accepted Chitose, she didn't think that Chitose could take away any of his feelings for her.
Mean adults.
".Anyway, I only consider you Akai as a friend. We have to keep a good distance."
"But we haven't had any intimate actions during this period, right?"
"."
The atmosphere gradually improved, but Fujii Itsuki felt more stressed.
On the one hand, he realized that he still had feelings for his old friend.
On the one hand, he realized that Muzi's feelings for him were too deep.
The tea in my hand was gone without me noticing.
"Okay, let's not talk about these things. Anyway, Shu, you can't change anything, you can't even hate me. In this case, let's not think about these things anymore. How about we talk about Xiao Xinchun's birthday?"
"Be careful of Haru?"
"I just thought she was pretty cute and couldn't help but call her by a nickname."
this.
It’s up to you, Muzi. You can call Matsumae whatever you want. It’s between them.
".What happened to her birthday party?"
"Tree~"
"Why are you shouting so meaningfully?" Fujii Itsuki subconsciously looked at her more.
"You don't know, do you?"
"Know what."
"Xinchun's birthday party is not a simple birthday party. She is the eldest daughter of the Matsumae family, and you know the influence of the Matsumae family in Hokkaido~"
Fujii Itsuki is not stupid.
Know what Muzi is hinting at.
Matsumae Shinharu also seemed to have said that her birthday party was held for her by her family, with the purpose of gathering some celebrities from Hokkaido and even Tokyo to get to know each other.
This isn't actually a birthday party for Matsumae.
This is a birthday party for the little princess of Hokkaido.
"What's going on?"
"It's a birthday party for the Matsumae family. There must be many celebrities attending. As guests personally invited by the little princess of Hokkaido, how can we embarrass her?"
"you mean"
"Can you dance ballroom dancing?" Akai Muzi didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.
"Obviously, no. Will you?"
"I spent years in American bands, don't forget that. Those people who call themselves upper class like to invite us to play as supporters."
"Um"
Fujii Itsuki fell into deep thought.
What Muzi said makes a lot of sense.
Even though I was invited to Matsumae's birthday party, I can't just keep eating at the party, right?
He wanted to go up and play the violin, but the Matsumae family had already arranged for musicians, so he definitely couldn't steal the limelight.
