Shiraishi turned around from his seat and met Kamikawa's questioning eyes.

"how's it going?"

Shiraishi's face turned slightly red and she didn't know how to answer this question. It wasn't that she had no experience in kissing, but she was mostly taking advantage of the members as a joke.

...or be taken advantage of by Matsumura.

This is when she witnessed the people close to her hugging her passionately in life - not on the screen. They didn't do anything extreme, but the metaphor behind the word "kiss" was enough to make Shiraishi shy to express it.

.

Fukawa didn't wait for Shiraishi's response, so he had to sit over and lie on the glass to watch. Their seats were next to those of the fifth watch. At this time, the Ferris wheel happened to reach its highest point, and only during this period could the fifth watch watch be seen.

border conditions.

Fukawa also sat back down with some embarrassment, "It seems that we have reconciled, and our efforts have paid off," she said, "I will send a message to Nanamin later, saying that the matter here has been resolved.

Already."

Then, the two stopped talking. For a time, this small square space was filled with silence.

Before that matter was revealed, they had countless topics to discuss, whether it was about life, work, or something that was currently popular, but now, all topics were directional.

They know what they want to ask each other most, but it's hard for them to ask.

After the Ferris wheel passed the highest point, the carriage began to descend.

"Ma Yi, don't you have anything to ask?" Fukawa took the initiative.

When she said this, her eyes were looking out the window, so Shiraishi's pressure was much less.

"...Maimai, do you really like Nanamin?"

"real."

Fukawa's answer was concise and firm, without any hesitation. Shiraishi opened his mouth, but couldn't ask any subsequent questions.

"Are there no other questions? I'm not going to lie. It's only here. I will tell you everything truthfully, as long as you want to know, Mai."

Shiraishi was afraid of knowing this. She also turned to look out the window, choosing the opposite direction to Fukawa. With an elevated view, it turned out that she was looking at the world from a perspective that she would not normally experience. Commonplace things would happen like this.

Change.

Then, she suddenly thought that this enclosed space was really suitable for couples to cultivate their relationship alone. It seemed that everything would ferment when the two of them got along.

"...Maimai, you should be sitting here with Nanamin." She whispered softly.

Fukawa turned around, "What did you say, Mai-like?"

"……nothing."

Shiraishi straightened his body, vaguely feeling that since he wanted to listen to others talk about more inner things, he naturally had to deal with it with a serious attitude.

Since Fukawa said this, it means that she also has the desire to talk, so as her friend, she also has the responsibility to listen to it. Even if she is just a listener.

"Can you tell me about you, Mai Mai," Bai Shi asked, "about your love for Nana Min."

Before saying this, Fukawa suddenly said, "Will this help you?" Her voice was vague, fast, and weak, so Shiraishi did not hear her clearly.

She was stunned for a moment, "What?"

Fukawa smiled, paused slightly, and then started the first sentence without any beginning or end.

"At first, I was the first to propose moving out of the staff dormitory——"

——

Hashimoto subconsciously looked in the direction of the Ferris wheel behind him. His mind rippled like being thrown into a lake of stones.

"What happened, Nanamin?"

"Ah...well, it's okay."

Hashimoto smiled. She just had a hunch. She didn't know the cause at all. People may have this feeling occasionally. Inexplicably, they sensed that someone was paying attention to them, and then classified it all as an illusion.

middle.

Ikuta shrugged and looked at the food signs on the food stall again, hesitating about what to eat.

Seeing her frowning and thinking hard, Hashimoto felt that she was innocent and beautiful, and said with a smile, "I really envy Ikuta-chan."

"Eh? Why?" Ikuta turned around in surprise.

"I feel like I don't have any worries... I feel happy every day."

Ikuta lowered his gaze, and then stretched out four fingers vigorously towards the shop owner.

"Uncle, we want cheese hot dog sticks and bubble milk tea, four portions packed!"

"Okay, wait a moment."

"Uh-huh."

The middle-aged shop owner began to make preparations, and at this time other tourists came forward, so Hashimoto took Ikuta to the side to wait.

Here is a small food court specially designated, with stalls selling various snacks, as well as Shanghai’s fried dumplings and sesame dumplings for sale.

"It's not that I don't have worries." Ikuta said softly.

Hashimoto turned around and saw Ikuta looking in the direction of the game arcade. After a while, he looked away and landed on Hashimoto's face.

"I've always seen what happened to Riyaka. Nanamin, can you understand that feeling of powerlessness that comes from not knowing how to deal with yourself, so you just watch."

Ikuta, who had been noisy all the time, calmed down at this moment, with some kind of flowing emotion flashing in his eyes, which actually gave him a strange sense of beauty.

"Ikuta-chan..." Hashimoto looked at her complicatedly. He really didn't expect that the innocent Ikuta would think of this. Compared to this...

Hashimoto raised his hand and pointed at both sides of his cheek, "You haven't wiped off the takoyaki sauce you just ate."

Ikuta blushed and quickly took the tissue handed over by Hashimoto, wiping it while muttering, "Nanamin, you definitely won't understand..."

"What do you understand?" Hashimoto looked at her embarrassment in amusement, "There is still something on the left side of her face and in the corner of her mouth."

"..."

Ikuta wiped his face angrily, then ran more than ten steps away, threw the tissue into the trash can, and hurried back.

"In fact, little Asuka has been telling me about Nishino and Hiyaka in the early morning," she continued, "probably as a kind of ecological observation, like a summer homework for elementary school students, but I don't know what Asuka likes.

Was it cultivated slowly before this or along the way?”

"Does Ikuta-chan also think that intra-group love is the right thing to do?" Hashimoto asked.

"I don't know," Ikuta shook his head, "I don't want to think about things that are too complicated, but no one can say that this is wrong."

"..."

"I feel that since we can't simply distinguish between right and wrong, we shouldn't think about this matter in the framework of 'right and wrong'. It's not enough to rely solely on personal opinions, but we must also be determined to bear the corresponding consequences.

"

Ikuta's words were straightforward and simple, but they also expanded Hashimoto's thinking.

The rules and systems of this world should not be something that restricts people - in fact, people cannot be restricted. It just presents a choice, a choice of whether you can accept the corresponding punishment after breaking the rules.

People living in a group, while accepting the convenience and security of living together, need to abide by a certain order agreed upon by each other. If this order is destroyed, they will inevitably suffer the backlash of the entire group. And this is what the destroyer must do

The price to bear.

If Gogeng Nishino, including Kotori Fukagawa, has already encountered this kind of price and is determined to accept it, then Hashimoto is not qualified to preach to them anymore.

However, she still reserves her own opinions, and she does not want to cause trouble to other members because of her own affairs.

Hashimoto patted Ikuta on the head and felt more and more that in this group, everyone understood each other, or tried to understand each other. When things happened, we did not blame each other, but stood in each other's perspective and stand to re-evaluate.

Deconstructing the problem itself is a very valuable thing.
