Kneel down and apologize [Leopard update 1W]
Push back a little bit in time——
Sanako blinked and looked at Qingden not far away in astonishment, who was walking side by side with a woman in brown clothes whom she did not recognize.
Qingden didn't notice Sanako. He and the woman in brown clothes beside him were both concentrating on walking.
Although they were separated by a distance, Sanako could see the expressions and behavior of the two people very clearly with her excellent eyesight without any myopia.
Qingdeng's face was expressionless, he didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't speak to the woman next to him the whole time.
As for the young woman wearing a dark brown kimono, she kept her head lowered and looked at her petite toes as she walked.
From time to time, she would raise her head and glance at Qingdeng's face with a look that was hesitant to speak.
When Sanako fixed his gaze on the woman's face, in less than 10 seconds, he saw the woman open her lips three times and try to say something to Qingden. But in the end, she still said nothing.
speak.
He opened his lips three times and closed them three times, silently following Qingden's footsteps. Although a look of astonishment appeared on Sanako's cheeks, it only happened for a moment.
In just a moment, Sanako began to think quietly:
——Who is this woman?
First, exclude Qingdeng’s acquaintances.
Sanako, who was extremely attentive, keenly noticed that the steps of the two were not in sync.
Qingdeng often accidentally walked too fast, leaving the woman in brown behind, and had to slow down frequently to wait for the woman in brown to catch up.
As for the woman in brown clothes, it was obvious that she was not familiar with Qingdeng's pace, and she had to jog from time to time just to keep up.
If it were Tachibana-kun and me, this problem wouldn't have arisen - Sanako had this thought unconsciously.
——Maruji... She is a married woman. How come Tachibana-kun hangs out with a married woman? Is she the wife of a friend?
While Sanako was still thinking to himself, Qingden and the woman in brown had walked a long way away and were about to leave Sanako's sight.
Seeing this, Sanako pursed her lips.
——Forget it, no matter who Mr. Tachibana gets along with or who he associates with, it is Mr. Tachibana’s freedom. Why should I care about other people’s private affairs?
Thinking of this, Sanako tightened the new book she just bought in her arms.
——It’s so cold... Go home quickly...
Aoto and the woman in brown were heading east, and if Sanako wanted to return to the Little Chiba Sword Hall, she would have to go west next.
Sanako turned sideways to the west. Just as she took the first step towards the west intersection, she suddenly seemed to be frozen by the cold wind, and her whole body froze on the spot.
"..."
Sanako seemed to be going through some very difficult psychological struggle.
Hesitation, trouble, helplessness, curiosity, doubt... Nearly 10 emotions can appear on Sanako's face at the same time.
All kinds of emotions were seen in Sanako's eyes and face, and they were "fighting" like crazy.
Emotions are mixed with so many emotions, making it difficult for people to understand the true meaning.
Describing Sanako's psychological activities in such detail makes it seem like a long time has passed. In fact, everything happened in just five breaths.
After five breaths, Sanako looked at her little feet with plain white socks and took a deep breath:
"Why do I have to care so much about Mr. Tachibana's personal affairs..."
After muttering something like this in a somewhat puzzled tone, Sanako turned around wholeheartedly and chased after the still vaguely visible figure of the man and woman.
Sanako kept a distance of "as long as he could see those two people" and followed Ayoto and the woman in brown at a distance.
The sight of few pedestrians on the streets in the early morning was a great help to Sanako.
The lack of crowd obstruction made Sanako's observation and tracking smooth.
Qingdeng and the woman in brown didn't go too far.
After Sanako followed for about 5 minutes, he saw the two people turning into a small teahouse.
Sanako quickly chased after him.
While covering the area below her eyes with a face towel to prevent others from discovering that she was the famous "Chiba Ghost Town", she asked the tea house owner: "Where did the man and woman go just now?"
The shopkeeper of the tea house, a fat man with mostly white hair, raised his head and glanced at Sanako. He was startled at first, and then the corners of his mouth pulled up, revealing a smile with a somewhat lewd air.
Sanako could tell what this person was thinking at just one glance - this guy must have thought she was here to catch someone raping her.
Teahouses have always been the most common place for adulterers and adulterers to have trysts.
In a big city like Edo, almost every few days there will be a wonderful rape scene staged in a certain teahouse.
Judging from the shopkeeper's expression, he must have been used to this kind of thing for a long time.
The shopkeeper misunderstood that she was here to catch an adulterer... This made Sanako feel a little bit subtle. But she didn't bother to explain to the shopkeeper right now, so she just let him misunderstand.
"The two people who entered the store just now opened a private room. The rooms on the left and right of that private room are still empty. Sir, do you want me to open one for you?"
The shopkeeper winked at Sanazi and enthusiastically took the initiative to help Sanazi catch the rapist.
Sanako's mouth twitched slightly.
"Then I'll trouble you..."
"Okay! Sir, please come with me! Be careful of the steps!"
The shopkeeper led Sanako into the private room in high spirits.
As soon as he entered the room, Sanazi heard a familiar male voice faintly coming from the east wall...it was Qingto's voice.
"Sir, would you like something to drink? What would you like to eat?"
The shopkeeper asked in a low voice.
"Just bring me a cup of green tea."
Sanako casually ordered a cup of tea.
"Okay, the tea will be here soon. Sir, please wait a moment."
The shopkeeper left in a hurry.
Even though there are no outsiders around, Sanako still remains elegant.
She held the hem of her kimono and sat down on her knees with slow and graceful movements.
Then, with hurried and impatient movements, he moved inch by inch to the wall from which Qingden's voice was constantly coming.
Just when Sanako's delicate body was about to touch the wall, the look of hesitation appeared on Sanako's pretty face again like a flashback.
This hesitation appeared suddenly and left just as quickly.
——I'm just worried that Mr. Tachibana might be entangled with some strange woman.
After justifying herself in this way, Sanako put a crystal ear against the wall with a clear conscience.
The sound insulation of a house made of wood is naturally not that good.
Sanako put one ear to the wall and immediately heard intermittent noises.
"Tangerine-kun..."
A woman's voice.
It must be the woman in brown.
I couldn't hear it very clearly, I could just barely make out the sentence "Orange Lord".
Sanako quickly put her ear closer to the wall.
"Miss Otsuki, please..."
This time it was Qingdeng’s voice.
"Unless...faint..."
--faint?
Suddenly hearing a very concerning word, Sanako couldn't help but be startled.
Before Sanako could think or doubt, the sound that came into her ears caused her facial expression to change drastically at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Bang - the sound of something falling on the tatami.
The texture of the sound sounded like the sound of a body falling to the ground.
Sanako is the daughter of the Chiba Sword Hall. The sound she has heard the most since she was a child is the sound of the apprentices' bodies falling to the ground after being knocked to the ground during martial arts training, so she is most familiar with such sounds.
"It hurts...Tachibana-kun...you...wouldn't have been like this before..."
After about 4 breaths, bursts of physical entanglement and the sound of scraping cloth turned into tiny particles, penetrating the wall and reaching Sanako's eardrum...and the depths of her brain.
These sounds may not be meaningful to children, but they are too meaningful to adults.
Five seconds ago, Sanako had a look of astonishment on his face.
But after only 5 seconds, her demeanor returned to calmness.
Miraculously, Sanako felt very peaceful inside.
Those surprises and astonishments seemed to leave her in an instant.
It's just that my body's perception is a bit strange, and everything around me feels more distant and blurry than before...
In the next moment, Sanako's body seemed to be controlled by a consciousness from the outside world.
She stood up expressionlessly, stepped out of the door, turned to the right, and strode towards the private room where Qingdeng and the woman in brown clothes were...
…
…
"Zuo... that son... miss...?"
Looking at the person coming, Qingden made a sound as if his throat was blocked by something.
Why is Sanako here? Did she pass by here by chance, or?
In an instant, a huge amount of questions filled Qingdeng's brain.
Although the brain's thinking speed has become slower due to this, the thinking ability... or the alertness that should be there have not been lost.
Suddenly, Qingdeng's inner alarm bell sounded louder and louder. At the same time, Qingdeng's heart rate suddenly accelerated.
She realized with lightning-quick sensitivity: His current situation... seemed a little not good...
At the moment, looking at the current appearance of Qingnobo and Otsuki Minoru from a third party's perspective, it gives people a really subtle feeling.
Qingteng pushed Otsuki to the ground in a "man on top, woman on top" position, grabbing her left shoulder with one hand and her waist with the other hand. During the struggle just now, Otsuki Minoru fell to the ground.
A few strands of hair on the temples fell out and were wet with sweat and stuck to the cheeks, corners of the mouth, etc.
The hair is like this, let alone the clothes.
The skirt of the clothes was slightly opened, the clothes on the right shoulder were torn askew, and the hem was wrinkled.
At this time, Qingdeng's body reacted one step faster than his brain.
As if being scalded by boiling water, Qingden quickly let go of Otsuki Minoru's shoulders and waist, and quickly stepped back, widening the distance between him and Otsuki Minoru in one breath.
Compared to Aoto, Otsuki Minoru's reaction was simply frightened.
She didn't recognize Sanako, and was startled when she suddenly saw a strange woman coming in.
Before he could blurt out the words "Who are you?", Qingden heard Sanako's name being called out.
——Sanako? Chiba Sanako from Okemachi Chiba?
Otsuki Minoru had heard about the reputation of "Chiba Onikomachi" and "the most beautiful woman in Edo" for a long time.
While Otsuki Minoru was arranging her messy hair and clothes, she opened her eyes wide and repeatedly glanced at the faces of Ayoto and Sanako with eyes full of disbelief.
Three people, three completely different expressions - for a moment, the atmosphere in the tea room was very strange.
Fortunately, the atmosphere that made the air in the tea room become a little strange did not last for long. Just after 2 seconds passed, Qingdeng broke the silence:
"Miss Sanako, why are you here?"
After a brief period of confusion, Qingdeng regained his composure.
I haven't done anything harmful or shameful, so why should I feel nervous and unconscious?
"I went to the bookstore to buy books. When I passed by, I suddenly felt a little thirsty, so I came over to this teahouse to drink some tea."
As Sanako spoke, she showed the brand-new book with a beautiful cover that she held in her arms to Aonto and Otsuki Minoru.
"I had just been drinking tea and resting in the tea room next door, and suddenly I heard the sound of fighting and a woman's cry of pain, so I rushed over to take a look - Mr. Orange, I didn't expect to meet him in this place.
You, what a coincidence."
Sanako raised his eyes without any emotion and looked straight into Qingden's eyes.
"Apparently, I made a mistake. I thought someone was committing murder. Since it was just a false alarm, I'm relieved."
Sanako's explanation... sounded flawless, with almost no faults to be found.
But Qingdeng still felt that something was wrong.
Go to a bookstore to buy books...? Is there no bookstore nearby?
Moreover, is the timing such a coincidence? It just so happens that you are drinking tea in the tea room next to me and Otsuki Sanji?
Although there are many doubts, these are minor issues that can be left to be considered later.
The top priority now is to quickly eliminate the misunderstanding.
There is no doubt that Sanako must have seen the thought-provoking gesture between him and Otsuki Minoru just now. If Sanako didn't have any misunderstandings, Qingto would definitely not believe it.
The difference between Sanako and Mai Kinoshita is reflected here.
According to Aoto's understanding of Mai Kinoshita, when she saw Aoto alone with another unknown woman, she would definitely have the courage to ask Aoto in an aggrieved tone: "Who is this woman?"
But Sanako is not like that.
She didn't ask about Otsuki Minoru's identity during the whole process. Her expression and tone were calm, as if she wasn't interested in Otsuki Minoru's identity at all.
But Qingdeng's senses and intuition told him: That's not the case.
Sanako, who looked directly at Qingto, did not exude the aura of "Forget it, I don't care which woman you hang out with again."
On the contrary, it seems to be constantly testing Qingteng, constantly hinting to Qingteng through the tense atmosphere deliberately created at the moment: I can say "forget it", but do you plan to just "forget it", Mr. Ju? I don't want to take the initiative to ask
, please explain everything yourself quickly.
To be honest, compared to making a fuss and showing his temper outright, Sanako's calm demeanor of invisible pressure made Qingto feel more frightened.
If he doesn't confess everything quickly, Sanako will probably run out of patience and leave - Aomori is quite sure of this.
Therefore, in order to prevent an irreversible accident from happening, Qingto didn't waste even a second and hurriedly explained to Sanako his relationship with Otsuki Minoru and the reason for his and Otsuki Minoru's posture just now.
…
About 5 minutes later——
"I see... my husband was kidnapped by the Qingshui Group..."
Qingto returned to his seat, and Sanako sat side by side with him.
Words of mouth have always been one of Qingdeng's strengths.
With the help of "Jian Tongue", Qing Tengguo clearly explained the cause and effect of the matter to Sanako in a concise and concise manner.
After listening quietly, Sanako nodded slightly and said, "This is how the Tathagata is."
I wonder if it was Qingteng's own illusion... Although Sanako's expression remained unchanged, still expressionless, Qingteng vaguely found a ray of relief deep in Sanako's beautiful eyes, like
It's a relaxed expression of letting go of any serious worries.
When Qingteng wanted Sanako to explain the ins and outs of the matter, across from them, a pair of eyes filled with unspeakable emotions flickered blankly repeatedly.
——Tachibana-kun...actually knows Sanako Chiba from Chiba, Okemachi?
Although she couldn't believe it in her heart, the scene that caught her eye at this moment clearly told her, "Qingden not only knows Sanako, but they are also very familiar with each other.
Based on the various interactions shown by Qingto and Sanako at this time, it is not difficult to see that the relationship between the two is very close.
Otsuki Minoru's teeth bit her lower lip unconsciously. The force was so strong that even her cheeks on both sides bulged out small bumps.
I saw her unconsciously tightening her shoulders, hunching her chest and lowering her head, not daring to look at Sanako in front of her.
There was no other reason - in front of Sanako, all her confidence in her female identity disappeared.
Appearance, body, temperament... There is no place from head to toe in Otsuki Minoru that Sanako cannot suppress.
Staying with Sanako was quite torturous, and an emotion very similar to feeling ashamed of oneself burned through Otsuki Minoru's body from the inside out.
This was the second time she saw Qingdeng accompanied by a gorgeous beauty.
The last time was at the fireworks display. At that time, the woman next to Qingdeng was a cute girl in red.
Although the appearance and figure of the woman in red were not as good as Sanako's, she was still not as good as Otsuki Minoru.
At this moment, Otsuki Minoru felt the fact extremely strongly: the young man opposite her was no longer the "idiot" she knew before, but a Nioh who was famous in Edo for his outstanding swordsmanship!
During the four months that she stayed with Otsuki Tsuneji in Edo, despite her subconscious resistance, she still heard a lot about various matters related to Aoto - this kind of thing is simply unavoidable, Aoto is Jiang
Nowadays, for all the famous celebrities who are household names, wherever there are people, you can basically hear people discussing various things about Niou.
Thanks to this, Otsuki Minoru quickly filled in the gaps in his knowledge of Ayoto in the two years since he left Edo.
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that she had witnessed with her own eyes how Aoden neatly subdued Shimizu Gosaku and others, and how he was treated politely by Shimizu Eiichi, otherwise Otsuki Minoru would not have dared to compare the "nioh" in people's mouth with the "nioh" in her memory.
The images of "Daitouden" are superimposed together.
For a time, all the past experiences with Qingteng, the ridicule and sarcasm towards Qingteng, came to Otsuki Minoru's mind and eyes one by one.
…
"Ashi! Let's go to the shrine for New Year's worship together!"
"Sorry, I already have an appointment with other friends."
"Hey, but..."
"Ah, I almost forgot. Mr. Ju, can you run some errands for me? The new Wu suit I ordered should have arrived. Can you pick it up for me?"
"Wufu? Uh...I know."
…
"Ashi, that Ju Qingden looks pretty good. He has good features, a tall stature, and a good family background. Don't you think about him?"
"Him? Humph! What does that Tachibana Qingden have to think about? What's the use of being good-looking? No matter how good-looking he is, he's just a dull fool. I just care about him.
It’s because of my father’s friendship that I reluctantly became friends with him, otherwise I wouldn’t pay attention to him.”
…
"Hey, Ah Ju, let me show you something fun. Hey! Ju-kun! Come here!"
"What's wrong?"
"I'm so hot. Can you buy me two bowls of cold water?"
"Now? Okay...I'll be back as soon as I go."
"Look, I'm right, right? That Tachibana Qingden listens to me."
"Hahaha, it's true, he really obeys your words. Ash, you are so bad. The sun outside is so bright, you actually let someone run errands for you on such a hot day."
"Don't worry, he has run for me even on hotter days and longer distances. At this level, it won't be too hot to death. Okay, let's continue playing Shuangliu quickly."
…
"Ji Jun, please don't come here again, I'm getting married."
"Get married? What? Ash, you want to marry someone?!"
"Well, I want to get married in Nara, and the wedding team will arrive the day after tomorrow. I will settle down in Nara with my parents from now on."
"This, this...such a big thing, why didn't you tell me until now?"
"Huh? What do you mean by this? Do I have an obligation to tell you about my marriage in advance?"
Otsuki Minoru... who was still called "Miyagawa Minoru" at that time, gave "Hara Tachibana Aoden" a big roll of her eyes, and then ignored "Hara Tachibana Aoden" who stood motionless like a clay sculpture.
"Aoto", turned around and walked away - this was the last time she met "Original Tachibana Aoto" before returning to Edo this year.
…
…
After reviewing these memories...Otsuki Minoru felt indescribably ridiculous and ironic.
The young man whom he had never looked at with his eyes was now like a dragon soaring into the sky.
The young man who worked so hard to pursue himself but failed no longer needs her, and is surrounded by many women who are far more beautiful than her.
For no reason, Otsuki Minoru had such thoughts in his heart:
If I had chosen Tachibana-kun instead of Tsuneji...then would I have lived a far superior life than I do now?
As soon as this thought appeared, it immediately grew like a virus, growing crazily in Otsuki Minoru's mind and heart. In the blink of an eye, it grew into an existence that Otsuki Minoru could not ignore in his heart.
At this time, Sanako's sudden inquiry intervened in Otsuki Minoru's thoughts, interrupting Otsuki Minoru's sadness, confusion... and regret.
"Miss Otsuki, do you know the reason why your husband was kidnapped by the Yakuza of the 'Qingshui Clan'?"
Sanako asked a question that Qingto had just asked again.
"I have no idea……"
Otsuki Minoru adjusted her emotions, got rid of the sharp thought that just appeared in her heart, and shook her head with a wry smile:
"I have asked the people of the 'Qingshui Clan' this question many times... but they all ignored me..."
After saying that, Otsuki Minoru turned his attention to Qingto.
Beautiful eyes are dominated by humble supplications.
"Ju-kun, please... I really beg you... help me... If you don't even want to help me, then I will really be desperate..."
Qingdeng has heard similar words so many times that his ears are almost numb.
Not to mention how Otsuki Minoru used a plaintive tone, not to mention how Otsuki Minoru showed a humiliating expression that looked like pity to anyone who saw it, Aoto was unmoved - if it hadn't been for Sanako's sudden appearance, he might have reached Qianshi by now.
House, met with Mai Kinoshita and boss Kiryu.
Seeing that Qingden was still indifferent, Otsuki Minoru's eyes gradually dimmed with a light called "despair".
At this moment, Otsuki Minoru seemed to suddenly remember something.
I saw her looking hesitantly.
After a while, the "hesitation" on his face changed into a "give it a try" decision.
"Ju-kun, I know this is not something I can agree to easily... You have every reason to refuse my request for help, but... but... please take the view that my father and your father are close friends, just
Please help me this once!"
Qingden's brows raised slightly - this subtle change in his expression was keenly noticed by Otsuki Minoru.
A look of joy flashed across Otsuki Minoru's pupils.
Seeing that the situation seemed to be turning around, Otsuki Minoru quickly "seized the victory" and launched a continuous offensive of words against Qingdeng.
The theme of his remarks was closely centered on the old friendship between Aoto's father, Takayuki Tachibana, and his father, Miyagawa Shunzou, and begged Aoto to help her for her father's sake.
Qingden didn't listen carefully to what Otsuki Minoru was saying.
Because he is deep in thought now.
Otsuki Minoru's hand was like hitting the snake's seven inches.
Aoto can ignore Otsuki Minoru's existence... but Miyagawa Shunzou can't.
Miyagawa Toshizo's friendship with him and his father Takayuki Tachibana is so deep that it is difficult to explain it clearly in just a few words.
Let's put it this way: when Tachibana Takashi died of illness and the Tachibana family was in danger of collapse, Miyagawa Shunzou provided a lot of help to the Tachibana family, sending money and food, helping "Original Tachibana Aoden" through the most difficult period
.
"Original Tachibana Aoto" was able to successfully take over Takayuki Takayuki's class and successfully find a job in the "three chapters" of the Northern Division, which was also due to Miyagawa Shunzou.
Qingdeng has not repaid this huge debt until now.
Qingdeng has always attached great importance to human debt - this is one of the important reasons why Qingdeng has always been very popular.
People who know how to repay, love to repay, and are good at repaying debts are easily welcomed wherever they go.
Although from another perspective, Aoto could have regarded Miyagawa Shunzou's kindness as nothing on the grounds of "Why should I wipe the shit of Hara Tachibana Aoto?"
But Qingdeng didn't want this.
From a "sentimental" perspective, Qingdeng feels that "Original Orange Qingden" has long been integrated with him, regardless of each other. Therefore, Qingdeng feels that he is still obliged to help clean up the shit left by "Original Orange Qingden"
All at once.
And from a "rational" perspective... outsiders don't know that Qingteng is no longer the same Qingneng as before. If Qingneng ignores Miyagawa Shunzou's kindness, then in the eyes of outsiders, Qingteng is a cold-blooded and ruthless white-eyed wolf.
It will have a bad negative impact on Qingdeng’s reputation.
Qingto finally no longer looked indifferent to Otsuki Minoru's pleas.
He lowered his gaze slightly and looked at the tatami in front of his knees, looking thoughtful.
Otsuki Minoru looked at Qingden's face eagerly, her delicate body unconsciously leaning forward in the direction of Qingden, full of longing, looking forward to seeing Qingden nodding, or hearing him say "Okay, I'll help you."
.
After a while, Qingdeng finally stopped being silent.
"Favor debts are really troublesome sometimes..."
"Tangerine-kun?"
Otsuki Minoru asked tentatively.
"……Fine."
Mr. Ju crossed his arms across his chest and let out a sigh of relief.
"For your father's sake...I'll help you just this once."
As soon as Qingdeng said this, Oyue Shi was startled at first.
Immediately afterwards, like fireworks that flew into the sky and exploded at the highest point, Otsuki Minoru's cheeks glowed with unspeakable ecstasy.
"Don't be too happy first."
Qingto suddenly poured a basin of cold water on her, causing Otsuki Minoru's expression to return to a dazed state.
"You must agree to my three conditions before I will help you."
Qingden held out three fingers.
"First of all, I have basically no friendship with the 'Qingshui Clan'. Even if I take action personally, I can't guarantee that I can definitely bring your husband back. I will do my best. No matter what the final result is, you must be sincere.
Accept it, can you do it?"
Otsuki Minoru hesitated for a moment, then nodded heavily.
"Secondly, regardless of whether I successfully rescued your husband or not, the debt I owe to your family will be settled for now. Do you understand?"
Otsuki Minoru nodded again. This time, she nodded much faster, almost without thinking.
"Third..."
Qingdeng paused for a moment, as if he was thinking about words and brewing his emotions.
After a moment, he gave Otsuki Minoru a meaningful look.
"Although the past has become a thing of the past...but it is better to explain some things."
"Eh?"
Otsuki Minoru blinked in confusion.
"Miss Otsuki, do you have anything to say about everything you did to me before?"
Otsuki Minoru blinked again, then his face turned pale, and he immediately understood Qingteng's hint.
Yes.
Qingteng was hinting to her: She sincerely apologized for what she had done to him... Correction, to "Original Orange Qingteng"!
In terms of difficulty, the third condition proposed by Qingdeng is far easier than the other two conditions he just mentioned.
Just use your lips and apologize.
But for Otsuki Minoru, this kind of thing may be more uncomfortable than cutting her flesh with a knife - Otsuki Minoru didn't nod as readily as before, which is the best evidence.
Originally, after seeing off at this summer's fireworks display, if Otsutsuki never appeared in front of him again, Qingden would not bother to pursue the past grudges.
But Otsuki Minoru actually showed up again after more than 4 months.
Since I'm here again... let's take this opportunity to settle the old accounts from the past.
It can be regarded as giving an explanation to the original owner of this body... "Original Orange Qingden".
After all, he and "Original Orange Qingden" are already one.
The suffering that "Original Orange Qingden" suffered in the past will never be justified without some expression.
Although strictly speaking, "Original Orange Qingdeng" is already alive... No matter what kind of rescue efforts are made, it will be of no avail, but Qingdeng still decided to seek justice for "Original Orange Qingdeng".
Regarding the right and wrong between "Original Tachibana Aoden" and Otsuki Minoru... I would say impartially and unceremoniously: "Original Tachibana Aoden" totally deserves it and deserves it.
Qingdeng understands the feeling of "loving someone very much". After all, he is in love with two girls now.
But no matter how much you love the other person, you cannot belittle yourself.
It was "Original Orange Qingden"'s bottomless show of affection for Otsuki Minoru that encouraged Otsuki Minoru to be unscrupulous.
However, it is obvious that Minoru Otsuki made a bigger mistake.
Although she clearly has no good impression of "Original Orange Qingdeng", she greedily enjoys "Original Orange Qingdeng's" care and pursuit, plays with "Original Orange Qingdeng's" feelings, and treats "Original Orange Qingdeng's" good intentions towards her.
It is an interesting "toy" that can be used to show off one's own charm and show off to friends.
It's a mistake, but it won't lead to death.
Just let her apologize.
Whether you sincerely apologize or not...it's best if you don't, and it doesn't matter if you don't.
In short, there should be no shortage of apology.
The justice that should be returned to "Original Orange Qingdeng" must not be less!
Aoto believes that for a scornful woman like Otsuki Minoru who has always looked down on "Original Aotobu", asking her to put down her pride and apologize aloud is a way to make her physically and mentally stronger.
A painful and severe punishment.
Qingden said nothing. He placed his hands naturally on his legs and stared at Otsuki Minoru's face expressionlessly.
Otsuki Minoru's pretty face seemed to be undergoing some violent chemical reaction at this time.
Sometimes it's green, sometimes it's white.
His eyes were averted and his fingers were twisted tightly.
Even the most unsightly person can clearly see at this moment: the clear "hesitation" and "shame" flashed repeatedly in Otsuki Minoru's eyes.
Qingdeng was not in a hurry.
Just wait quietly.
He didn't care about the life or death of Otsuki Tsuneji. If it weren't for repaying Miyagawa Junzo's favor, he wouldn't bother to intervene in this matter.
Whether to agree to Qingteng's conditions or to leave directly - it all depends on Otsuki Minoru. No matter what her final choice is, Qingteng doesn't care.
Time passes bit by bit.
Qingdeng felt that even if he exhausted all the words in his mind, it would be difficult to accurately describe the expression on Otsuki Minoru's face.
Qingto had no way of knowing what kind of ideological struggle Otsuki Minoru was waging in the past few dozen seconds.
All he saw was that the "hesitation" and "shame" on Otsuki Minoru's face gradually reached a delicate balance.
Then...her sensual and soft body slowly bent down.
With his hands folded on his legs, his face facing the tatami in front of his knees:
"Tangerine-kun...yes, I'm sorry..."
Her voice was timid.
Although she pretended to be calm, her voice was still trembling uncontrollably like her various emotions that could not be concealed.
At this moment, Otsuki Minoru suddenly recalled the thought that had just appeared in her heart:
(If I had chosen Tachibana-kun instead of Tsuneji...then would I have lived a far superior life than I do now?)
Somehow, after recalling this thought, Otsuki Minoru suddenly felt a stifling warmth surge into her nasal cavity, and there was a hint of choking in her voice.
"..."
Qingdeng didn't say a word.
Although he looked at Otsuki Minoru, he didn't make any response.
Seeing this, Otsuki Minoru thought that Qingteng was dissing her because she was not sincere enough.
So, she sniffed hard, walked half a step on her knees to an open space where there was no tea table to block her figure, then bent her waist even lower, with her upper body close to her legs, her smooth forehead close to the tatami, and placed on her head
Only the index, middle and ring fingers of the hands in front touch the ground.
It is the highest etiquette in Japanese culture: Dogeza.
"sorry……"
Otsuki Minoru's voice was louder than before.
It was also shaking a little more violently than before.
"I...I shouldn't have treated you like this before...I apologize to you...I'm sorry..."
The words, moistened by tears, turned into a sticky mess.
Otsuki Minoru quietly raised her red eyes and carefully observed Qingden's expression.
Qingdeng... was still the same as before - expressionless, neither saying "Okay, I will forgive you from now on" nor "Your apology is not sincere enough".
——This...can be considered retribution...I brought it upon myself...
Thinking of this, Otsuki Minoru's lips curved into a bitter self-deprecating arc, and the resentment that had just risen in his heart gradually dissipated.
Otsuki Minoru is also self-aware of her past attitude towards Qingteng.
Otsuki Minoru slowly shrunk her body even smaller, and her desperately suppressed sobs floated out from her slightly twitching shoulders.
To be honest, Otsuki Minoru, who felt like her heart was about to be torn to pieces by the knife-like sense of shame, wanted to just rush out of the door and get away from Qingto as quickly as possible.
But she was not willing to let the help she had finally obtained from Qingdeng go to waste.
Therefore... After a moment, Otsuki Minoru gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind, and stood up with a "huh" without wiping his face that was stained by tears, and walked out in three steps.
Private room.
Just when Ayoto and Sanako thought Otsuki Minoru was leaving, they suddenly spotted Otsuki Minoru's figure outside the window.
I saw Otsuki Minoru standing in the middle of the street outside, raising her head towards the tea house, just eye-to-eye with Ayoto who was standing by the window sill.
At this time, it is the time when there are the most people on the street.
The crowds coming and going formed the background behind Otsuki Mitsuru.
Some passers-by noticed Otsuki Minoru acting strangely and cast doubtful glances at Otsuki Minoru.
Immediately afterwards, they saw this pretty beauty kneeling on the ground in a squatting position.
Although there was noisy movement on the street, Otsuki Minoru's voice still clearly covered most of the street and Qingto's eardrums:
"I'm sorry...! I apologize to you...! Please... forgive me...! I'm sorry!"

Today is the 10,000-word chapter that I haven’t seen in a long time. Isn’t it too much to ask for a monthly ticket? (Leopard Head Crying.jpg)
Please vote for me monthly! Please vote for recommendation!
The plot line between "Hara Tachibana Aoden" and Otsuki Minoru has come to an end.
Scumbags and dog lickers are not allowed in the house
All the daily plots in this book are the foreshadowing of the subsequent big plots. For example, the fireworks display with the girls, it foreshadows "Yangming's Ghost", "Strange Painkiller", my grandson's debut, etc.
The important plot and characters, the plot of Souji that just ended not long ago, also laid the hidden thread of "the three-year agreement between Souji and Hikaru Okita".
Therefore, these plots between Ayoto and Otsuki Minoru are obviously not just about showing off and slapping people in the face. I will not spoil what kind of plot this plot will lead to here.
Leopard Leopard has always been very diligent in promoting the plot. It is never superficial, but the updates are slow (Leopard Cries.jpg)
If you don’t believe it, go back and take a look and see if there is any plot that is a piece of waste that will not affect the direction of the plot even if it is deleted - it does not exist. There is no waste in this book. All plots have their reasons for existence. (Leopard)
