When faced with a question, when a person feels that he only needs to answer "yes" or "no", it is very easy, because you only need to make your own judgment. However, if you are asked to explain clearly

The reason why I do this is that sometimes it is not difficult, and sometimes it is very difficult.

For example, the explanation I give now should be "A certain ex-girlfriend who should not have appeared appeared in front of me, causing me to become confused and miss the ball." Then, a further question arises. Since you participated in such a

With the experience and psychological quality of many games, why would he lose his calmness just because of such a person? How should this unreasonable phenomenon itself be explained?

Then we need to give a deeper answer to this question. But generally speaking, because everyone will stagnate after getting the first answer, because although this answer makes people feel that the other party is a bit bad, it is still a good one.

accepted explanation—thus ignoring the irrationality of the answer itself.

And when senior Xiaomu Yan raised this question to me seriously, it meant that she was destined to ask me about the source of this unreasonableness.

Therefore, my answer to this further questioning was a moment of speechlessness and silence. Discussing further reasons would inevitably mean discussing the history of my past interactions with Sugiura Koharu, and this past has always been

It is a past that I want to hide in my heart, and even let myself deliberately forget.

"Then let's put it this way, Kazuya," Senior Kogi-san looked at me who was silent and continued to ask, "Why don't you want to mention the past of your relationship with that Sugiura-san? I don't feel like you are that kind of person.

People who have adopted a self-enclosed attitude because of excessive investment in relationships in the past!"

Of course, my response to this kind of question is still silence. I am not the kind of person who will close himself off because of being too deeply invested in a relationship. Obviously, the kind of person who appears in comics or novels because of the failure of a relationship.

It would not happen to me that my temperament changes drastically and I become withdrawn and extreme due to self-blame.

"Then, maybe I'll ask you another question!" The senior sighed and continued to ask, "In other words, your concealment of your past relationship with Sugiura-san is different from the other things you did during junior high school.

Does it make any difference if things are concealed?"

Normally there is a difference, but what is it actually like?

This was obviously another question that I couldn't answer right away. However, the senior seemed to have gotten the answer. She held the microphone, showed a smile, and said, "Okay, if you don't want to talk, I won't ask.

, it’s better to go back quickly to avoid being scolded by Aunt Inoue again, I don’t want to be complained by her next time I come here!”

It was as if my whole being had been seen through by senior, and I left room 21 in a state of embarrassment. It should be said that senior Xiaomu Zhu is really a very smart person, and coupled with her understanding of me, many times even I

She can see through things that are not clear yet - but on the contrary, I seem to be of no help to the seniors at all. It is really sad to think of this matter many times.

However, this seems to be the consistent impression that senior Komushi gives to people! Although she seems to show richer emotions in front of me, her keen sense of emotions and precise grasp of the atmosphere are never there.

changed.

Under normal circumstances, a person will naturally be afraid of the kind of person who can easily see through his own thoughts, and then he will become increasingly dissatisfied with the other person's behavior of forcing him to make a decision. For example, if it is Yukinoshita Yukino

After fully understanding my character and making this inference, she will definitely use her sharper analytical power to dig out every inch of the facts, which will only make me "know everything" about Yukinoshita

worries and anxieties.

However, this situation will not happen when facing senior Xiao Muzi. The main reason is that the senior has grasped a scale very accurately. Although in a sense, grasping the scale is actually more terrifying.

thing, because when your tolerance level has been figured out, the other party can predict and control your behavior to a certain extent. However, the contradictions of human beings appear here, in this more complex situation

In the most severe situation, the fear caused by the other party's understanding of you will be wiped out by the other party's more reasonable choice of scale.

Of course, this discussion is based on a relatively extreme situation. In most cases, being able to understand a person's thinking and then choose to control it at the appropriate time means that the other person is releasing a kind of understanding and goodwill.

This is how senior Xiaomu is now. She is leaving enough space to think for me who has not figured out the truth of the matter, or has understood the cause of the matter but is unwilling to admit it.

Of course, this situation led to the fact that Komuzou-senpai did not mention this matter when he was waiting for me at the counter to get off work until the two-hour solo time was over.

Of course, it seems that this time, senior Xiaomu Zhuo and I chatted for too long. After I was scolded by Aunt Inoue, it was not enough. This time, senior Xiaomu Zhuo was also scolded. What "Although we all know

"Xue Na, you didn't mean it, but it is always very rude for you to call our employees out to chat during working hours." "To be honest, Kazuya, although this child is usually a bit bored,

But the work is still done very well. If his performance and attendance problems are caused only because of you, as his good friend and senior, you will also be very sad, right?"

It's just such reprimands. In the past, senior Xiao Muyu used an attitude of an elder to educate me, but now she also honestly adopts this obedient posture to face the education of her elders.

I always think this is a very interesting thing.

Of course, it would not be very interesting to be looked at with such dissatisfaction by your seniors on the way home.

"Kazuya, what happened just now was funny to you, right?"

"Hey, well, I just thought about how my senior would look like when he was being trained at home, and I immediately thought, well, it's a bit interesting, that's all."

"I can tell you are snickering!" The senior helped the hat on his head to cover his long hair in a more reliable way, and then said, "Well, it's just that.

Let’s not talk anymore. This time it’s really my own problem. I caught you and chatted with you for too long and I don’t have anything to say.”

"Well, I have a problem with this too. I will remind senior in the future." Although I don't know what it is like when Kogi-senpai is upset and wants to vent, but generally speaking, this kind of Yamato Nadeshiko-type senior has a good temper.

It should be very scary when you are angry - so at this time, I'd better take advantage of the senior topic and go down the slope.

Of course, senior Xiaomu Yan was also very satisfied with my behavior - from the actual results, it must be like this, because she didn't talk about that topic after that.

Although the changed topic made me feel a little awkward.

"That Sugiura-san is still the student union secretary?"

"Judging from the information I have learned so far, it should be yes."

"You are a third-year student now. I remember Kazuya, you graduated from Qingquan Middle School, right?" Senior Kogi asked casually.

"Well, that's right, so why are you asking this question?"

"Suddenly I felt a little strange. Why did Kazuya choose to go to Sobu High School instead of Qingquan University Affiliated High School? I remember that when Kazuya was in Qingquan Middle School, there was an internal preferential quota for admission to Qingquan University Affiliated High School.

Right! Direct promotion quota or something like that?"

Although I don’t know why Senior Kogi-san brought up this question, I still answered honestly: “Well, it was mainly because my stupid sister was in Sobu High School, so I couldn’t trust her. At that time, my sister couldn’t get into the high school affiliated with Qingquan University.

Those who were directly promoted came to Sobu High School to take the entrance exam, that is, they came with the mentality of giving it a try. After all, the deviation values ​​of Sobu High School and Qingquan University High School were similar. I didn’t expect that my sister actually passed the exam, so

I have to follow her here too!"

"So I always feel like you care about your sister too much, Kazuya? Although your sister and I only had contact with each other once, judging from her attitude of defending you at that time, she doesn't seem to be a person who cares about your sister because of your absence.

Just someone who can’t persist in a school, or I think she can actually live a good life in school!”

"That's it! But I still feel a little uneasy! After all, my sister is a big fool."

To be honest, sometimes if I think carefully about Yuigahama Yui's social situation and academic performance, her performance is much better than I expected, even much better than myself. Socially, although

Her status in Hayama Hayato's circle is not very high, but in a certain sense she is a member of the "top caste" in the class. Moreover, she can also work with Yukinoshita Yukino, who usually basically interacts with other people.

It is a very rare thing for people to have a good relationship with geniuses who do not have much contact with each other.

On the other hand, in terms of academic performance, although she has always been at the bottom, it can be said that miraculously, her results are still hovering on the edge of passing. Although the so-called "pre-exam assault" has no effect under normal circumstances,

There is still a result for Yuigahama Yui - of course she is worthy of being my sister!

So, in this sense, it seems that my grades are mediocre because of my deliberate reservations, and I have no outstanding performance in social circles. When it comes to taking care of my sister, I always feel a little inconsistent. It seems that it should be my sister.

Come and take care of me.

Of course, in fact, we still maintain the somewhat strange kind of younger brother taking care of the older sister, and the older sister occasionally shows a majestic demeanor that belongs to the older sister - this should be a kind of inertia between siblings that we have developed since childhood.

, it did not change because of changes in some circumstances in high school.

However, it was somewhat interesting when senior Xiaomu asked about this matter. Of course, it seemed that she was thinking more about the relationship between her and her younger brother: "So, it is true that there is an age gap between siblings.

Is it a relatively small problem? Now that I see Xiaohong, I really care about him! I have been telling him that he can just apply for Sobu High School. After all, I can also provide him with exam questions from previous years.

Yes, but Xiaohong just doesn’t feel so sure and wants to give Qingquan University Affiliated High School a try for this child.”

"Well, that's understandable, right! After all, sometimes younger brothers don't want to keep following in the footsteps of older sisters. They always have a rebellious mentality."

"But you shouldn't have any rebellious mentality at this time, right?" Senior Xiao Muyu showed a troubled expression. Obviously, even if he is as considerate as he is, he still cannot handle family issues well enough.

, "And this year's Qingquan University Affiliated High School is indeed somewhat attractive to him. After all, the places that apply directly to Qingquan Middle School seem to have been freed up for candidates who apply."

"Well, wait a minute, senior, what did you say?" Senior Xiaomu Yan's unintentional words suddenly gave me a shiver, and I suddenly discovered something very important.

"Uh, are you referring to Takahiro's decision to choose a school?"

"Well, that's why the senior's younger brother chose the High School Affiliated to Qingquan University."

"Well, are you talking about the cancellation of the registration quota for Qingquan Middle School? Although it is a relatively important thing for your alma mater, it should not have much impact on you. The main impact is

It should be Sugiura-san?" Senior Ogizou didn't know the specific content of the negotiations that Koharu came to Sobu High School as a representative of Qingquan Middle School, so she didn't express any strange emotions when she told the news.

But it is completely different for me, because, under Yukinoshita Yukino's reminder, I already know that Sugiura Koharu came to Sobu High to discuss cooperation, which definitely has requirements, and this requirement, Yukinoshita

I don't know yet, she needs to investigate, but I already have a feeling.

Theoretically, I should make a neutral choice at this time. However, the key problem is that I found that at this moment, the word "absolute neutrality" suddenly became a false proposition.
