"I..." Regarding the explosive remarks made by Nishino and Oda, Akimoto was actually a little confused. After spending so many years in a girls' school, she had the ability to adjust among girls.
Akimoto was also willing to help act as a peacemaker regarding the conflict between Oda and Nishino, but the development of this matter was so magical that the well-informed Akimoto didn't know what to do.
"Na-chan, this matter has nothing to do with Manatsu." Oda frowned. Nishino was now a little overwhelmed by emotions and started to make trouble unreasonably.
"I know." Nishino smiled, "I already knew it just now. I just want to invite friends to my house to play, can't I?"
"but..."
"Didn't you say, Xiaoichi, that I need to have my own circle of friends? Then wouldn't it be great if I want to have a good relationship with Manatsu? I just took advantage of your heart, Xiaoichi. How great."
"Na-chan, you..." Oda held his hand tightly, trying hard to prevent the emotions in his heart from exploding, because in Oda's view, Nishino could not vent his dissatisfaction on himself.
Yes, but letting other people enter the relationship circle between the two is a wrong thing that will harm others.
"It's okay, Oichi." Akimoto interrupted Oda.
Oda turned to look at Akimoto, who tilted his head and said to Oda, "I originally wanted to have a good relationship with Na-chan, but now Na-chan invites me to play at her house, isn't it a good thing?
?" After saying this, she turned to look at Nishino again, "I will treat what I just heard as if I didn't hear it. The two of you should resolve the matter between you two, but if there is any
I can give you some advice if you need help."
After hearing Akimoto's words, Oda's irritability eased a little, and he nodded. Akimoto also took the initiative to grab Nishino's hand and walked out, leaving Oda with a space to think alone.
After the two left, Oda, who had been standing upright, suddenly lost her footing and sat down on the ground. Although she seemed to have finished speaking her thoughts calmly just now, in fact she was also moved by Nishino's words.
The momentum and the words coming out of Nishino's mouth were a bit frightening.
He closed his eyes and recalled in his mind some of the actions he had taken over the past year and a half. Although there were some minor mistakes, Oda still felt that generally speaking, he had done nothing wrong.
Oda has always considered Nishino a close friend, so there is nothing wrong with hoping that Nishino can grow and become a better person after the confession incident.
Personally, it was not convenient for Oda to take the initiative to talk to Nishino. In fact, the four-person shopping event was already a very bold attempt by Oda. However, Nishino did not give any response after that, so Oda must be more cautious.
It's not convenient for you to initiate a conversation, and there's nothing wrong with that.
But... although Oda has always done what he subjectively thinks is right, he doesn't know why these things are completely different in Nishino's eyes and in his own eyes. Many of the things he considers for others are considered to be
Oda was surprised by the self-imposed demands, and at the same time, he also felt that he was angry and had nowhere to go.
I originally hoped that Nishino could grow apart from himself, but I found that with this period of time away, Nishino seemed to be more and more dependent on himself. Many of the things he said and did were infinitely magnified in Nishino.
, until today, it has accumulated into an extremely heavy package. When I couldn't hold it in anymore, I threw it straight towards Oda, which made Oda a little confused about how to catch it, so Oda didn't intend to make a side kick.
, but directly said all the words he had been thinking about during this period. Although he didn't know whether Nishino would listen to it, Oda really didn't want to be embarrassed by talking to Nishino like a chicken anymore.
However, Oda felt that in the state just now, Nishino probably couldn't listen to anything he said, and knowing this and still throwing out his opinions like this, he might be a little childish and his emotions got the better of him.
Oda just squatted in the corner of the music rehearsal room with his head in his hands. The background music of "Taketori Flight" was still playing slowly, but at this moment, Oda no longer had the energy to reach out and turn off the sound.
Just keep it there on a loop.
After such a quarrel, the already fragile transparent paper between the two was directly pierced. Where the relationship between the two will go next, Oda doesn't know the answer. Simply speaking from her
From her own point of view, in fact, she still wants to maintain a close friend relationship with Nishino. As for whether her feelings for Nishino include a "love" component, although a whole year has passed, Oda herself has not yet figured it out——
But she understood one thing. The two people's thoughts and opinions seemed to always be on opposite sides. Although the two had often stayed together since their establishment, they seemed to have no understanding of each other's thoughts and were completely unable to understand each other's thoughts.
Understand each other.
The two people are like two rays shooting in opposite directions and parallel to each other. They can never converge to one point, but can only get farther and farther apart.
Of course, all of this is just the unilateral perception of the young but mature girl squatting in the corner of the room.

The next morning, Nishino and Akimoto came to work together. After entering the lounge, Nishino didn't even look at Oda and walked directly towards Takayama's small circle. Akimoto sat down next to Oda and ignored Oda.
When Tian asked her about anything that happened last night, she refused to say anything and just shook her head silently.
It seems that nothing has changed, but everything has changed, and only three people in the lounge of Nuo Da know this.
After the training in the morning, Oda and Akimoto came to the music rehearsal room where countless incidents had happened in a tacit understanding.
"Manatsu, did you talk after you went back last night?" Oda knew that Akimoto didn't want to reveal the content of the chat, so he asked in a different way.
"It can't be considered a chat, but at least I know Na-chan's true thoughts." Akimoto considered his words, then looked at Oda seriously, "What about you, Oichi, what are your true thoughts?"
"Or, to put it simply."
"Xiaoichi, are you just a pure friend towards Na-chan, or have you ever had a little bit of affection for her?"
"If it's just a friendship, then needless to say, it will get better as time goes by. But if you, Xiaoshi, have ever had the slightest affection for Na-chan, I suggest that you stay with Na-chan, Xiaoshi.
It’s good to make it clear, after all Na-chan has been waiting for your approval for three full years.”
Looking at Akimoto's serious and focused eyes, Oda opened his mouth.
