Zongman: Unknowingly trapped in the hatchet

?

After being controlled for a few seconds by Yukino's blunt greeting.

Su Qing looked at the souvenir selling area and glanced at the other party helplessly:

"Don't mind mine. You like that one, don't you? Take this opportunity to pick out a style you like."

After saying that, he paused again, as if thinking, "If it is a souvenir that can only be bought in Kyoto."

Xueno blushed slightly, then quickly regained her composure and folded her arms across her chest.

"You can buy souvenirs at any time, and no matter how you look at it, greeting friends should have a higher priority, right?"

What is this feeling of being both arrogant and not arrogant like...

"Sit down for a minute? I want to discuss something entrusted by the Ministry of Revenue with you."

After all, he is the president, so he has some right to know.

Su Qing moved and sat at the edge of the sofa.

Although there is only one sofa on the first floor of the hotel, it is large enough to seat four people.

It's not too embarrassing.

"That's right...I wanted to discuss this with you, too."

Although Xueno was a little surprised why Su Qing sat so far away, she didn't care too much.

Then he chose to sit in the middle of the sofa, maintaining a distance that was neither too close nor too far.

"I made a rough observation today. Tobu's offensive was quite active, but Ebina's responses were mostly superficial."

Su Qing analyzed as the observation scenes flashed rapidly through his mind.

Actually, there was nothing much to say from the beginning.

If it really succeeded, Ebina wouldn't have come to visit.

"This way... the chances of a successful confession are slim indeed."

Yukino nodded, she had anticipated this situation.

Then a trace of hesitation and embarrassment flashed across her face, and she said softly:

"I'm sorry, we're not in the same class, so I can't help you."

"There's no need to feel guilty. If you were the only one doing this, you wouldn't have accepted this commission." Su Qing shook his head nonchalantly. "If we want to successfully complete this commission, we just need to make the Ministry of Revenue think of 'not confessing'."

"It's very difficult to change a person's mind, right? You also said that the Ministry of Revenue's offensive is very active. It's unrealistic to expect him to change his attitude in a few days. And..."

Yukino hesitated for a while, but still chose not to say it.

"You think this is a passive way of escaping?"

Su Qing didn't even need to look at Xue Noi, he could clearly understand what she couldn't say.

"Well... maybe a little bit, I can't really explain it. I just feel like this seems like a commission that is doomed to fail."

There was a hint of confusion in Xueno's eyes.

honestly.

She also didn't know the significance of this time.

In fact, what she was most unwilling about was that she couldn't help much.

The original survey on "attractions that women may be interested in" now seems to be of no use.

“Always caring about success or failure, what is meaningful or meaningless to do?”

At this moment, Su Qing suddenly looked at Xue Noi, as if questioning her.

But before the other party could speak, he continued:

“The cost of trial and error in one’s lifetime is actually very low.

When I was a child, adults always said that the junior high school entrance examination was important. When I reached high school, they said that the college entrance examination was important. After college, they said that postgraduate entrance examinations and civil service examinations were important.

It seems like we have been walking on thin ice since we were born, and one wrong step will lead to eternal damnation.

But the question is, how can there be so many key things? It's not like 'key people, you say'."

Su Qing did not wait for Xueno's affirmative answer, but only heard a light laugh.

The black-haired girl had turned her face to the side at some point, and he could only see her shoulders trembling slightly.

"No matter how you look at it, it's not good to talk to your friends without looking at them, right?"

"S-Sorry. It was so windy just now that sand got into my eyes..."

Yukino's voice became louder and softer as she tried to suppress her laughter.

But her voice thus becomes softer and gentler, as intoxicating as the sound of a yellow oriole singing out of a valley.

What a lame excuse...

Why doesn't the sand get into my eyes?

Su Qing sighed softly, and Xueno turned around at this moment, with a few crystal tears quietly appearing in the corners of her eyes.

Yukino didn't want to laugh either, but the education she received and the environment she was in didn't involve too many simple and straightforward words.

[Keyman?]

[By the way, you are the top student in Sobu High School, so it’s not very convincing to say this...]

"Try to think from another angle. Why is this commission destined to fail? In fact, the responsibility does not lie with anyone. If we must say it, it is because the Ministry of Revenue did not recognize itself and the situation.

Has anyone told you about this?

You are too kind and always like to take all the responsibilities on yourself.

Isn't it? "

After seeing that Xueno had almost controlled her emotions, Su Qing turned his head back.

If a person is a book.

So he thought that he had almost finished reading the book [Yukino].

"I am...kind?"

Xueno looked at Su Qing blankly, and the latter looked back at her.

Is she kind?

In fact, she had never thought about this question.

"Well, at least, that's what I think. Yui and your sister... must think so too."

Su Qing's voice at this moment sounded very nice to Xueno.

It felt like it struck her heart directly.

?

Su Qingqing:

The girl had been caught in the rain before, but she didn't think about buying umbrellas to share with other people in the future.

Instead, do your best to change this society even if it is just a little bit.

That is her expectation and persistence as pure as glass.

But it still cannot get recognition and affirmation.

Even the relatives around me are the same.

This is a perfectly normal thing.

Because we can only adapt to the environment, we cannot change it.

and so.

The more effort and passion a girl puts into her, the more pain and despair she suffers in the end, like her nerves being cut.

As an older sister, Haruno must deeply love the existence of her younger sister named Yukino.

That's why her elder sister [Yang No], who loved her but knew that her sister's dream was impossible to achieve, said bluntly that day that she was "playing house."

But isn’t this also a kind of protection of love?

Su Qing could clearly see this even without using [Absolute Sense of Smell].

In the past, Yukino was not understood or accepted by anyone.

A noble girl would never hope for this.

Stubborn and clumsy, but also a little twisted because of it.

I don't know when he realized this very clearly, and then he stayed in the service department and thought about doing something.

It's not so much that he doesn't want to deny Yukino, but rather that he doesn't want to deny his younger self who had expectations like Liuli.

Everyone has had such a beautiful but unrealistic dream, but no one wants to admit it.

Because we are all afraid that one day we will beat time.

When facing my past self in the mirror, I feel ashamed of being covered by the dust of this world.

The girl is a plum blossom that grows on a steep cliff and stands tall in the cold winter.

Tough and beautiful.

If he had the energy to spare, he wanted to extend a helping hand called "serve" to help her.

As a friend, he was willing to do so.
