On the other side, Sayu was still staring at the phone screen.

"Happy New Year ~ Miss S."

On the LINE messaging software, the chat history is still stuck at 30 minutes ago.

The cold white light reflected on the screen illuminated her face. She was obviously tired but still not sleepy, leaving behind all kinds of sadness.

She tapped the screen repeatedly, typing out long and short sentences, and after a while deleted them word by word, but could not send them.

Ever since she had dinner with her family, watched the Red and White Song Concert, and returned to her room, she had been repeating this process.

The dark room was shrouded in silence. Only the north wind outside made the windows rattle, playing a lonely and profound sound.

Over an extremely long period of time, sighs naturally flowed out.

"Yusuke..."

She murmured and put the phone aside, feeling a twinge of pain in her heart.

Click, click, click

The small round beads jingled softly inside the pendant.

Sayu held the cinnabar bottle on her chest and stared blankly at the ceiling in the darkness.

Until the end, she still didn't have the courage to ask about that person. Even though a simple greeting would be enough, she could only let the sand of time slip through her fingers.

"After all, do I still have the qualifications..."

After saying the words, my mood became even more depressed.

The little run away from home came to an end a few days ago.

That person refused to accept her.

Even though she didn't want to admit it, she understood that this was an undoubted fact, and she lived every day entangled in this uneasy feeling of unknown origin.

Pick up the phone again and check the time.

January 1st.

Tokyo time, one thirty in the morning.

A time when most people have fallen into a deep sleep.

However……

"Buzz--" All of a sudden, the phone suddenly vibrated.

"Ugh...!"

Startled by this unexpected situation, Sayu screamed uncontrollably, and then quickly looked at the screen.

[Miss Shinjou: So~ Do you have anything to say to the president? I can convey it to you depending on the situation. 】

"Eh……?"

After a brief pause, her eyes suddenly lit up.

[Sayu: Well, I’m sorry, did I disturb you? 】

[Miss Shinjou: Excuse me? No, besides, you didn’t say anything. Even the last message was sent forty minutes ago.]

[Sayu: That's it...]

[Ms. Shinjou: So? What about what happened just now~? 】

【Sayu: Huh?】

[Ms. Shinjou: What’s wrong? If you weren’t looking for the president, you wouldn’t have contacted me, Miss S, right? We’re not friends.]

"Miss S..."

Sayu repeated this special title and couldn't help but feel slightly puzzled.

However, as the other party said, the two of them are not acquaintances or friends. If they insist on talking about it, there has been a slight friction, and it is not easy for her to joke with the other party.

What's more, there are more important things to do now...

[Sayou: If you can...can you send my greetings to that person for me? I wish him a happy new year, and I would like to express my gratitude to Shi Qi.]

[Miss Shinjou: What else? 】

【Sayu: Huh?】

[Miss Shinjou: Is that it? You have nothing else to say? 】

Seeing the message on the screen, Sayu's eyes were slightly dazed for a moment, and then he moved his fingers to type in the reply——

【Well, that's good.】

[Ms. Shinjou: Well~~~Since you said that, fine, I will watch and convey it.]

[Sayu: Thank you, Miss Shinjo. (Bow)]

[Miss Shinjo: No, after all, half of this is out of my personal curiosity. That’s it, good night, Miss S~]

[Sayu: Okay, good night, Miss Shinjo.]

The chat officially ends here.

"Miss Shinjou... I always find her so strange."

Sayu whispered in a low voice, inadvertently opened the other party's circle of friends, and browsed through it casually.

Should I say it was expected?

It records the daily life of a large number of owners.

Such as some selfies with friends, delicious-looking food, activities at school, cute clothes, check-ins for visiting fashionable stores, etc...

It vividly shows the image of a delicate girl and the colorful life of the person involved.

But the other person's appearance is very cute, so it's not surprising at all that he would be like this.

"Octopus Sausage"

"The Work of the Student Union"

"Sports Festival Cheerleaders"

"The Maid at the Cultural Festival"

"Welcome Party for Xiao Xi"

Sayu looked at these photos with relish, and at the same time couldn't help but wonder about the relationship between the other person and that person.

Once in Chiba Prefecture and once in Tokyo.

When she saw Shinjoka twice, he appeared next to that person.

Although that person was summarized as a "friend", out of some sixth sense, she felt that the relationship between the two people was not that simple.

But then, she couldn't help but laugh at herself.

After all, given that person's condition, it would be unthinkable if he didn't have a girlfriend.

Especially after he was treated like that, it wouldn't be surprising if someone came to show his kindness while he was hurt.

According to some information on the Internet, she heard that that person's girlfriend seemed to be a senior at her school. Not only was she beautiful, she was also a powerful novelist.

"Could it be the girl from the archery competition last time...?" She said to herself.

Although it was just a quick glance at the time, the girl with a gentle and calm temperament still left a deep impression on her.

not only that.

There are also several women who appeared in Chiba Prefecture earlier.

For example, the blond girl with an exquisite and dreamy appearance, the girl with a bob hair who is inconspicuous at first glance but very attractive, and the big sister who drives a sports car and comes to the scene like a queen...

There were so many women around that person that she didn't even bother to feel jealous.

No matter who among these people is his girlfriend, she is not qualified to make irresponsible remarks, even if it is to taste in her heart.

In her impression, even high school lovers would often go to each other's house to play.

Negative thinking had a chain reaction, making her think of more things.

Since she is a girlfriend...

Would he be...intimate with someone else?

When he thought of this, Sayu suddenly felt chills all over his body.

Her brain was generating delusions uncontrollably, and many images flashed through her mind, making her internal organs seem to be tightly contracted.

That man had a turbulent relationship with a woman she didn't know.

When I imagine that scene, I feel very disgusted for some reason.

Obviously this should be a very common thing after getting a girlfriend.

Obviously this has nothing to do with her.
