Never forget the appearance of the girl you made cry.

The first cultural festival in high school, there are too many things worth remembering, but I believe that after a long time, I will not forget Sugiura Koharu who left with pear blossoms crying in the rain. I did not reject her, but I also did not respond.

I chose to let her go and leave her helpless. It is not rejection that is called harm, and inaction is also a form of harm.

The noisy sound in the gymnasium means that this unprecedented cultural festival in Sobu High School has reached its climax. Ogata Rina's appearance and Kogi Yukina's confession are all topics that are lethal enough, but for most people,

For most students, it has nothing to do with them. What is going to happen next is what can arouse everyone's attention.

The results of Miss Sobu High, after everyone's vote, gave everyone a very ceremonial sense of participation in the program, and will be displayed in front of everyone.

The entrance to the gymnasium was already packed, and everyone wanted to witness the birth of the new Miss Sobu High School. Whether it was Kogi Yukina's three consecutive championships, Yanagihara Tomo's possible counterattack, or Yui's performance as a dark horse.

Hama Yui’s Jedi Counterattack has enough eye-catching features.

Using your identity as an executive member at this time will only make you look a little too overwhelming. However, for me, I just need to hear the final result from a distance at the door.

There are many people I know well on the stage. Some of them are very clear about their efforts behind the scenes, while others are not very clear to me. However, at this time, the result is what determines everything.

I originally thought I was destined to watch the final result alone, but unexpected situations can easily happen.

"Where's Kitahara-senpai? Whether it's a sense of accomplishment or a sense of loss, you should share your feelings with him now, right?" Looking at Touma Kazusa who appeared next to me like a ghost, I was still a little curious.

"That guy fell asleep in the music room. Do you expect me to sleep with him?"

"This is a good way to increase your favorability. Think about it, Kitahara-senpai, who is extremely tired. If the first person he sees when he opens his eyes is you, huh."

"I won't do that." Dongma Hesha blushed and categorically rejected my judgment.

"Sometimes it's better for girls to be more frank."

"Just like Xiaomu?" Touma raised his eyebrows and looked at me provocatively.

"Concrete analysis of specific situations."

"This means you are not candid enough, Yuigahama. So your answer is? I just saw you rejecting a girl outside the gymnasium, wearing the uniform of Qingquan Middle School, and making the person opposite you fall in love while helping the student council.

Already?"

"I didn't refuse, it's just that she finally gave up. By the way, don't pry too closely into personal matters."

"Where's the scum!"

"Rational people are often judged as scumbags emotionally."

"Did the person on the stage have the same reaction? Of course, if you want to say that the person on the stage is not talking about you, there is nothing I can do about it."

"Of course it doesn't have to be me, it can be senior's father or brother, um."

"Oh, where's the scum!"

"Then accept this title?"

"Accepted?"

"Accepted."

Touma Kazusa probably couldn't accept this almost rogue style of painting for a while, and she frowned deeply.

"To be honest, Yuigahama, I can't understand your behavior." After a while, she whispered.

"To be honest, I don't understand why Touma Kazusa-senpai has been chattering here for so long. You don't seem like someone who would pay attention to the results of this kind of election. You should have watched you

Kitahara Haruki-senpai, indulge in it with a happy face, instead of educating me here, do you want to say that you have also fallen in love with me, ah, this is my honor, but to meet that girl just now

Whether it’s over or not, that’s my final response. It’s the same for her and it’s the same for you.”

I know I'm a little out of control emotionally, and I don't know why. Although I know it would be easy to use the authority of the executive committee to enter the gym, I don't want to do it. This is not because I am worried about abusing my power and causing unnecessary unnecessary trouble.

It's troublesome, but because I just want to know the final result alone.

I know that my heart is far from as peaceful as I imagined.

It is easy to make rational judgments, but it is much more difficult to suppress one's emotions with reason than I imagined.

I can't completely accept Koharu leaving in such a sad manner in a calm way, and I can't really ignore Kogi-senpai's feelings with peace of mind.

Fortunately, after saying such words, given Touma Kazusa's character, she would probably throw her hands away and leave, right?

It also allowed me to continue watching the award ceremony alone without interruption.

However, Touma Kazusa, who may have suffered one of the biggest insults in life, did not leave. She squinted her eyes and looked down on my speech with an attitude that was similar to indifference. It was a lazy and indifferent attitude.

Intriguingly, I have never seen the look in Touma Kazusa's eyes.

Have you fallen to the point of being pitied by this guy?

"I can't understand what you are thinking because you have given every action just the right reason to convince others. No matter when you tell me what I should do or when you do something yourself.

.So it’s really normal that I don’t like you, Yuigahama, I hate your character that puts arguments first and then practices.”

"Well, you like Kitahara-senpai's character of doing something based on his own impulse regardless of it and then finding a reason for it. What next?"

"However, even if you have a character like yours, which is to prepare everything before fighting a well-prepared battle, there will be exceptions," Touma Kazusa continued talking to herself, "In fact, the only thing you didn't give

There is only one thing that can be fully demonstrated, and that is to disconnect Kitahara and Xiaomu. Although you gave a symbolic reason that you don't like Kitahara's character, at least when doing this, you completely

You haven't considered whether Xiaomu himself wants to have further contact with Beihara. This is something you can't explain. Has this loophole been forgotten by yourself?"

"In other words, you prevented further possible contact between Xiaomu and Kithara entirely out of your own unreasonable will. This is the only time that your actions took precedence over reasons, Yuigahama. Can you explain this?

why?"

"Senior Touma Kazusa, if you have time to think about these complicated issues, you might as well think about how to pass your graduation exam. In my impression, your grades should be pretty bad, right?"

"If you don't answer my question, are you acquiescing again?"

"If you want me to admit that what I did at the time was against my principles, then I admit that my mind was hijacked by impulse, so I will not make this mistake now."

"What if the opposite was true at the time?"

"Then please, Touma-senpai, please prove my correct reasons at that time. If I remember correctly, you are slapping me in the face because my behavior is inconsistent with logic, right?"

If we want to go back to the logical dialogue, Touma Kazusa obviously has no chance of winning. Her expressionless face tilted, but she seemed unable to come up with an effective way to refute.

"You are different from Kitahara-senpai, and you are not suitable for preaching. Don't learn all the bad habits from that guy just because you like him. Although I appreciate the extra attention you pay to me, it is not necessary.

Go back to the second music room obediently, and then give the sleeping beauty Kitahara Haruki a kiss, and he will be yours, that is the point."

"If this would solve the problem, then I wouldn't come to you." Suddenly, Touma Kazusa, who had been lifeless, burst out because of my words.

"Don't forget your true thoughts and miss real opportunities because of your awkward mentality. That's all I want to say." Just as suddenly as when he came, Touma Kazusa left these words and walked away.

------------------------------------Dividing line------------

----------------------------------

Rationalism does not mean the absolute rejection of emotions, but emotions must be a powerful tool that interferes with rationality. It is a bit sad that it has reduced to the level where Touma Kazaya can preach to me.

This also means how poorly I actually implemented my rationalism.

I felt everyone's opposition, from my sister's sudden rampage, from Isshiki's refusal to cooperate with me, from Ogi-senpai's unconventional play, from Koharu's dejection, and even from Touma, who had little contact with me.

Kazusa's accusation. Everyone is expressing contrary opinions to me.

Fortunately, there is one person who still persists as a beacon of reason.

I looked at Yukinoshita Yukino standing on the stage and introducing the election situation of Miss Sobu High. As long as that person still believes in the right path, it means that I have not been completely rejected.

Although I have failed in many places, the direction is not wrong. As long as I believe in this, I can persist.

Adhering to rationality also means that I cannot accept that Senior Xiaomu believes that as long as I relax a little, I will fall into a dream and be unable to escape.

"That's why Xiaoxue's trust in you is so important, because even Xiaoxue believes in you, so you can believe in yourself." Not long ago, Sister Yui's words penetrated into my heart again like a devil.

Now, if I face that question again, I may not have the courage to respond to her in a righteous way.

Perhaps, one of the things that I dare not accept the most is that Yuigahama Yui is right.

The correctness of the sister who has always stood behind me, been protected by me, and guided by me.

Because of my rationality, I cannot accept Xiaomu-senpai’s feelings.

And purely because of my sensibility, I am rejecting Yuigahama Yui’s possible correctness.

I think I have gone further and further down the road of self-contradiction.

On the stage, Yukinoshita has begun to use her usual calm voice to read out the votes for miss Sobu Taka, starting from the tenth place and going forward in order.

Yukinoshita is rational, but who knows what she is thinking in her heart right now? After enduring the biggest betrayal blow that her sister has ever brought to her.

"Fifth place, year F group, one color feather."

When I heard Isshiki's name for the first time in a long time, I couldn't help but be stunned. Without my help, Isshiki did not completely fail, but created his own achievements.

"Third place, Year 2 Group A, Tomo Yanagihara."

This seems to be a name from a long time ago. The former Miss Sobu Gao runner-up is not as vulnerable as we thought.

The competition between the top two has always been the most emotionally stimulating part of this kind of election. As if to create this effect, Yukinoshita paused slightly when she saw the second place name.

The entire stadium fell silent, and people's hearts seemed to be beating to the same rhythm.

"Second place, Group A of the third year, Kogi Yukina." Following Yukinoshita's voice, there were countless sighs and sighs in the stadium.
