How to Develop a Sick Brother Control

Kazuya closed his eyes and said with the same giving up tone as before,

"I like you. Of course, I like it the same as Ying Lili and Shiyu-senpai. However, I do like you, Kato. Are you satisfied with this attitude?"

"Yes, I'm satisfied. In fact, it doesn't look too difficult for you to say this!"

Kato nodded calmly and said.

"However, after saying this, some things that can deceive themselves no longer exist!"

Kazuya shook his head helplessly and said.

"Because of self-deception or self-suppression, it is always an incorrect thing. This is true for Aragaki-san, and it is also true for me. For example, I also like Aragaki-san. When I threw away that diary, I'd be in pain too, wouldn't I?"

Recalling everything recorded in that diary, Kazuya nodded silently.

"Is that diary really thrown away?"

"Diary? Of course it was thrown away."

"kindness."

"—However, the contents of the diary cannot be thrown away!"

Leisurely, Kato said such a thing, still the kind of thing that has nothing to do with himself, calm to a bit too much.

A nameless flame suddenly rose in Kazuya's heart.

He knew that he was doing something crazy right now, but he really couldn't ignore the current Kato's expression.

It's like discussing things that you hold dear as if you were looking at other people's affairs objectively.

And don't like the look either.

"Kato, what are your true feelings?

In other words, how many times have you shown your true feelings in front of me? "

"How many times?

I can count them, but there are quite a few—"

"—Enough, don't pretend to be confused this time, you know the meaning of the question I want to ask!"

Kazuya interrupted Kato roughly and said.

"So, what do you want me to say?"

Kato's figure swayed slightly, bit his lip, and said.

"I want you to say what you really think, not the kind that seems to control everything with a detached attitude, not the kind of look that everything and all the problems have nothing to do with you, not the kind of It made me feel like I can always trust you from the beginning, but I can't figure out what your thoughts look like!

do you understand? "

"So, is that how you understand me?"

Slowly, Kato said.

"Yes!"

"So, what do you think I should be like, when I fell under the cliff, I was desperately waiting for you to come back?

Emotions are exposed very thoroughly, do you understand? "

"Uh--"

"Or did I tell you to give up on the last date and let you choose Yingri, the way you couldn't control your feelings?

Yes, I think I expressed it that time, did you finally show sympathy for me? "

"..."

"Or is it that I failed to resolve the conflict between you and Ying Lili, and made me completely blame myself in the end?

When you finally resolved the problem with Kasumigaoka-senpai and Ayase, did you consider my feelings? "

"..."

"So, Aragaki-san, what exactly do you want me to do?

If I don't use this attitude to talk to you and deal with your problems, then, do you think I can still stick to your side? "

In a never-before-seen, intense, yet intense, indifferent tone, Kato Megumi asked Kazuya just like that.

At that moment, Kazuya suddenly felt that his emotions were like a sinking ship with tentacles, constantly diving, but always, unable to be rescued.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"So, Aragaki-san, what exactly do you want me to do?

If I don't use this attitude to talk to you and deal with your problems, then, do you think I can still stick to your side? "

When Kato said these words in a less calm voice, Kazuya also realized that things had begun to develop in a direction that was beyond his control.

He took a step back in a panic, and then, realizing his gaffe, he gently moved his footsteps forward a little bit. However, Kazuya can also feel that these small movements of his own are in Kato's eyes. , all seem ridiculous.

In the end, Kazuya just gave a cringe smile and turned around.

He can accept Shi Yu's confession head-on when his heart is under enough pressure, however, he doesn't want Kato to say something.

In a way, Kato has always been Kazuya's last line of defense.

This is the bottom line Kazuya has set for himself, and this bottom line comes from his unconditional trust in Kato.

And also can feel Kato's shaking, which is why he repeatedly emphasizes the protection and Kato's

"Agreement"

This is also the reason why He is trying to escape now, because he knows that if the other party is allowed to speak out at this time, many things may really be irreversible.

However, Kato, who is considerate, once again let Kazuya's peace of mind fail.

Some soft calls came from behind Kazuya:

"Aragaki-san."

Kazuya has never felt that Kato's voice is so terrifying, but even though he has been denying his decision, he still turns his head a little bit in control, as if the other party's voice is from a siren. Same sound.

"Actually, there's no need for Aragaki-san to do this, right?

What do you think I can change now? "

When Kazuya turned his head, Kato just lowered his head and slowly spoke his thoughts in a trembling voice.

"It's not about changing anything, is it?

Problems never seem to fix anything, do they? "

Kazuya's expression was not good-looking. Facing Kato's complaint, he just replied with a wry smile.

"Then, it's okay to hide everything until the end, isn't it?

As we did in the beginning, didn't we? "

Kazuya shook his head and didn't speak. In fact, he didn't know what he should say. After all, he did say those words under Lunya's unconscious stimulation, which led to the current situation. this situation.

"So, the question is very simple,"

Kato pressed his temple, stood up, and said,

"Only this time, it's ok for me not to speak according to Aragaki-san's thoughts, right?"

Without Kazuya's consent - in fact, the shocked Kazuya can no longer make any effective action to stop Kato, so Kato continued talking to himself.

"Actually, Aragaki-san should know that, right?

I've been paying attention to Aragaki-san from the very beginning - of course, I didn't lie when I mentioned this for the first time. At that time, I really didn't look at the moving house as Aragaki-san thought. The shadow of you who was about to disappear, and then reluctantly begged her mother to stay, and after repeated pleas failed, she made a promise in her heart that she would definitely meet again in the future 'What, this is absolutely nothing! "

Kato was very calm when she said these words, just like her usual serene attitude, even when she mentioned

"A Promise of Absolute Reunion"

At the time, she showed a rare and somewhat childish smile, as if she was telling an interesting story.

Looking at Kato like this, Kazuya wanted to laugh with her for a while, but soon, he realized the current atmosphere, and his face darkened again.

As if he didn't notice the change in Kazuya's expression, Kato continued to speak in a surprisingly calm tone.

"Of course, Aragaki-san may have already read the question after the reunion. Usually, when a girl becomes interested in a boy, that's a very dangerous time, although I think I may be with other girls. Not the same, but, obviously, I still overestimate myself a bit.

Although in comparison, Aragaki-san, you are obviously much worse than when you were a child. It seems that you have the maturity of a high school student from the beginning, but it has not changed in ten years. However, things like feelings , It's never determined by the degree of maturity, right? "

when Kato said

"Have the maturity of a high school student from the start"

At that time, Kazuya's heart suddenly trembled. Although he was in front of Kato, he remembered Eri who had fully accepted her current self when she confided a certain fact to Eri, who shouted loudly.

"I don't understand these situations, but I just like you"

some silly girls.

Maybe, all the girls have done nothing wrong, but only me, right?

And, it's the kind of irreversible mistake.

And also lamented in his heart.

"I don't know when it started, how should I put it, probably when Aragaki-san was working hard for Yingri and Kasugaoka-senpai?

I suddenly thought, if Aragaki-san could work hard for me too—of course, when I realized that my emotions had changed from curiosity, it was too late to restrain myself. "

"From the beginning to the end, I didn't mean to envy or be jealous of Yingli, from the beginning, I was Yingli, this point, I have not changed, even if I want to talk to you so much today, Even after I heard you say those things today, nothing has changed.

I always feel that Eri, who has paid so much and waited for you for so long, should be the one you chose—I do not deny that Kasumigaoka-senpai has also paid a lot, but I think that I may be able to understand Eri better. Feelings.

Maybe this is a relationship with being a childhood sweetheart - of course, my childhood sweetheart is not very competent. "

When he said the last sentence, Kato smiled self-deprecatingly.

Although Kato laughed more times a day than before, Kazuya was not happy or moved by this incident at all. He knew that when Kato needed a forced smile to disguise his emotions, That's when even she can't fully control her emotions.

"You keep saying that you are from the Eri Ripa, and you keep saying that you are sorry to Shiyu-senpai, but this has nothing to do with your feelings, right?

Don't you want to express your feelings willfully?
