Chapter 327 Countermeasures

For some reason, Hikigaya Hachiman and Yuigahama Yui seemed to have had some... moderate conflicts.

The reason why it is said to be a moderate conflict is because the two did not tear their skins apart, turned against each other, became known to everyone, and have never interacted with each other since then... With such a vigor and vigor, there is absolutely no room for redemption.

But it's not the kind of complaining to each other, each sulking for a while, and it will be fine in two days, but it directly develops into a cold war with a very tacit understanding, and quickly distances itself. The friend stage has regressed back to the stranger stage.

In other words, it's the kind of relationship with classmates who know their names. When they meet, they will greet each other out of politeness, but that's all, and there will be no other exchanges.

I always feel that if they don't have any accidental factors, they will probably continue like this until they graduate from high school, and then they will part ways, and they will never appear in each other's circle again.

Xia Ran was not very surprised by this. Although he would not say that it was commonplace, after all, such bloody things would not happen often in his world, but it is true that there are so many such examples. rare--

Not everyone has a fundamental break in the relationship because of some principled conflicts, and more people actually drift away because of some small things, and they can't get together in the end...

So much so that when they think about it in the future, even they themselves will find it so ridiculous and unbelievable.

Just because he wasn't surprised, Xia Ran didn't really care too much about it. This kind of thing happens everywhere, and it's also the choice of Hikigaya Hachiman and Yuigahama Yui. He is the kind who can really stay out of it and stand by.

If the two can reconcile as before, he will naturally be happy to see it happen, this is indeed the best ending.

But if the two people are really drifting away, then he won't be so surprised, and he doesn't intend to do anything about it...

——From this point of view, Xia Ran does have the values ​​of a magician. He lacks enthusiasm in some aspects, and can even be said to be a little indifferent. He doesn't care too much about the trivial things that friends with ordinary relationships encounter.

That's right, it's really trivial things, if those are life-threatening and related to the future of life, he will take the initiative to help out, but this kind of thing... I really can't get excited .

Because in his opinion, things like this will definitely happen often. Today is this, tomorrow may be that, and he really has no interest in being a nanny. He has to do his duty to ensure that these people's lives are smooth sailing. It's better to let them handle things by themselves.

If it's handled well, it's naturally the best, but if it's not handled well... well, it doesn't seem like a big deal.People are not dead, they are still alive, but they all made their own choices, and then went to different forks, and then they parted ways.

It's really not a big deal. Since the parties have made their own choices and have no intention of redeeming them, what obligation and responsibility do others have to interfere with their choices?

Well, thinking about it this way, Xia Ran naturally has no motivation to do anything. His basic attitude is to wait and see what happens.

It's just that Yukinoshita doesn't seem to intend to do this, but is seriously considering doing something within his ability——

So this is a bit strange, after all, in the eyes of others, she is the kind of person who is as cold as ice and snow, while Xia Ran is so gentle that she always seems to be able to talk to anyone, and is approachable character.

However, at this time, it was the former who wanted to try his best, while the latter planned to stand by and remain indifferent.Although it is largely due to the different perspectives of the two people, it is indeed strange.

Xia Ran probably can also understand Yukinoshita's thoughts, after all, she has never had any friends since she was in elementary school, and she is surrounded by enemies in all directions, and Yuihama Yui is the first rare same-sex person in these years who treats her sincerely Friend, so she probably doesn't want to see the other party go on like this.

Parting ways with Hikigaya Hachiman...

In order to avoid suspicion, I will not come to the service department again...

If this continues, not only will the two people drift away from each other, but the friendship between Yuigahama Yui and Yukinoshita will probably be difficult to maintain.After all, their intersection was created by the Ministry of Service. If they are not in the same club, there will be very few chances of contact in the future.

The two are not even in the same class at all, it is difficult for Yukinoshita to find Yuigahama after class, and Yuigahama also has her own circle to maintain... But there are not many things that Yukinoshita can do at present.

Confirming whether there is any change in the team application of those two people is the only thing she can do at present.

The second-year students have an activity called "Workplace Apprenticeship", which is arranged on the day after the last regular exam before the summer vacation. The rule is that there are three people in groups, and everyone chooses to be in a group with the person they like.

Before that, Hikigaya Hachiman and Yuigahama Yui had already formed a team, so this might be a good opportunity.What Yukinoshita wanted to ensure was that this opportunity would not disappear for no reason.

However, those two people didn't seem to be so determined yet, so after checking the team application of their class, it is certain that there is no change in this matter.

"But it doesn't make much sense, right? You're not in the same class as them, and you probably won't get together for the trainee activities that day. How they develop can just go with the flow, right?"

Xia Ran raised her eyebrows.

"Or, are you going to find an opportunity that day and try to match the two of them? What are you going to do? Do you have a specific plan?"

"Frankly speaking, I don't know what to do." Yukinoshita said calmly, "Student Xia Ran, is there anything you can do?"

"There is no way." Xia Ran shook his head decisively and refused, how could he have any way to do this kind of thing.

"So... what about magic?" The girl asked very calmly, "I don't know much about your non-knowledge fields, but since it is a non-knowledge field, there should be a way to solve this kind of thing, right?"

"..."

"..."

"So, not only have you accepted the truth of the world, but you have also begun to seriously consider how to use it?"

Xia Ran was amazed, but she didn't feel unhappy at all. Instead, she felt relieved from the bottom of her heart.

He had always been worried that although Yukinoshita didn't say anything on the surface, he was actually resistant to the field of non-knowledge. After all, not everyone can quickly accept gods, monsters, and magicians after the three views are shattered. things like that.

After that, the girl never took the initiative to bring up this sensitive topic. It can be said to be tacit understanding, or it can be said to avoid talking about it... Anyway, who knows what is going on?

However, now, Yukinoshita has taken the initiative to make a proposal in this regard, trying to ask for help from the power of non-knowledge... Does it mean that she has really accepted the objective reality of this field, and not only does she not reject or resist it.

Even at the beginning, when encountering problems, you will seriously take this factor into consideration. Will there be any hidden perceptions of discrimination and belittling that will lead to differential treatment?

Doesn't matter if the cat is black or white, if it can catch mice, is it a good cat?

"Denying is meaningless and will not change the facts, and since it is there and exists as an option, I have no reason to pretend not to see it..." Yukinoshita said softly, "So what? ? Student Xia Ran, what can you do?"

"Well, if it's simpler and rougher, I can directly try to tamper with their memories..."

Xia Ran thought about it for a while, and felt that she could do such a thing relatively easily now, even if she didn't have any special skills, but the dual attributes of intelligence and spirit were already very high.

Memory reading, talking to distant objects, thinking elimination, will increase, thinking reappearance, emotional transplantation...

He can really do these things now. After all, to give an inappropriate example, skills are actually specialized tools. With the corresponding tools for processing, artisans can better make exquisite works.

However, if the craftsman does not have tools himself, but his own attributes are too high, so that he himself is a humanoid machine that is beyond common sense. sharper...

So—the result is a matter of course, right?

Xia Ran is in such a situation now. To put it bluntly, he is working hard to produce miracles. After all, if he has hundreds of points of intelligence and spiritual attributes, he can’t even read minds, tamper with memories, and implant hints for ordinary people’s goals. Such operations are too rubbish.

This has nothing to do with the direction of specialization or the strengthening route, but with enough ability value, there will definitely be strange powers similar to supernatural powers, and at the same time, it can be easily transformed into specialized skills.

"You really can do such a thing!" Yukinoshita's voice suddenly became a little suspicious, "Did you often..."

"Don't talk nonsense! I have never done such a thing before..." Xia Ran twitched her lips, "If you didn't want to start from this aspect, I wouldn't even have such an idea, okay?"

"Hmph, who knows about such a thing..."

The girl on the opposite side snorted, it seemed that it was not so easy to believe, but she didn't worry about this issue that would cause a crisis of trust for the time being, and it couldn't be that they hadn't dealt with the matter of those two people, and they broke up again.

"And this method is unreliable no matter how you look at it. What I need is definitely not to use this evil method to forcibly change the character and behavior of the two of them..."

"The milder choice is just hinting. I can give hints to the two of them to amplify their thoughts of reconciliation. As long as they have such thoughts, they just can't take the initiative to reconcile. Then it's sure to work."

Xia Ran didn't care either. For the use of spiritual power, direct mind reading and memory tampering belonged to the highest level of domination, which was already a thankless operation, especially when there were no professional skills.

He didn't expect Yukinoshita to agree to this choice, but this is a basic negotiation skill——

Before making your real request to others, first make a relatively unrealistic request to the other party, and after being rejected for granted, then make that relatively realistic request, so that it will be easier to achieve the goal.

This is how it is now, Xia Ran feels that using hints is the most effective, and naturally wants to let Yukinoshita choose this option, and there is no big moral issue——

"It's not directly manipulating them to do something. There is a saying that a twisted melon is not sweet, but hinting is completely different. It just simply amplifies certain thoughts in their hearts. If they have no thoughts of their own, it will be unreasonable." to the effect."

That is to say, to match up, so that the two people who originally intended to reconcile, because the thoughts in their hearts were magnified, no longer have so many worries, and they took that step bravely.

There is no other operation of deleting or adding information, so it should be feasible, right?

"Maybe you can think about it, but let's put it at the end. Is there no other way that doesn't interfere with the mind's thinking at all?" The girl still has some scruples, she always feels that this is still intentional to affect the spirit and mislead the judgment. suspicion.

"..."

"..."

"If that's the case, I don't think it's possible to achieve the goal without using very common sense. A person as awkward as Hikigu thinks that he saved Yuigahama's dog, and Yuigahama treats him so well out of compensatory psychology? "

Xia Ran pinched her chin and began to think.

"Then let's relive the history once more, but this time let him owe Yuigahama the other way around, and see if he will do something out of compensatory psychology?"
