[Net King] It's just that the butterfly doesn't want to

"Huh—!? Why is it you again?!"

Kirihara Chi also barely stopped.

He raised his head, ignoring the roaring reprimand from the teacher behind him, and first looked at her bumped shoulder with lingering fear, as if looking at a crumbling vase.

However, Ogata was the only one who was immersed in his own world and didn't react.

No matter how anxiously he asked, "Will I send you another week's lunch?!" and "I finally saved a little pocket money to play video games after school", the other party did not respond.

"—Sleep in class, didn't hand in homework, failed the exam, Kirihara Chiya, you still want to play video games?!"

On the contrary, the dean upstairs had very keen hearing, and there was also the sound of angry footsteps from the other party who pushed open the office door and walked towards the stairs.

"Oops! I almost forgot about this!"

Kirihara Chi also wailed, "The big thing is not good!", grabbed the witness decisively, ran towards the corridor, and hid behind the door of an unused classroom next to him.

The dean shouted in the quiet corridor, "Akaya Kirihara, come out for me!!"

The parties let go of their hands in the empty classroom.

The boy heaved a sigh of relief, his eyes slipped inadvertently, and he found that the girl's wrist had been scratched with a circle of red marks by his own strength, and it didn't look like it wouldn't fade away in two or three days.

He moved his eyes a little guilty, "Well... your physique is really too weak."

Ogata Yui seemed to have noticed Kirihara Chiya just now, she blinked in surprise and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Huh?" Kirihara Chi also replied with the same blankness, "I don't know either. Speaking of which, why do I always bump into you in such a big school..."

The powerless dizziness gradually dissipated.

Fuzzy fragments of information flashed from my mind, and countless images flashed before my eyes, including Yanagi Renji in the library, Marui Bunta in the home economics classroom... and Akaya Kirihara in front of me.

So far, is everything she has done in the past really out of her own heart?

How many times did the scene changed by the invisible hand happen in the past that she didn't realize?

Did the vague memories in my mind really happen—and who is that shadowy person who appeared in the hallucination?

Finally, she heard her own hoarse voice.

"Kirhara Akaya."

"...What? Suddenly calling me by first and last name!" The boy seemed startled.

"You said that day that you met Vice Minister Sanada in the calligraphy classroom?"

"correct."

"If you don't go, then I will meet him."

"That's right, thanks to me! The deputy minister is a straightforward, super-speaking, stern fellow!"

Marui Bunta, Kirihara Akaya, Sanada Genichiro, Yanagi Renji...

The center of those doomed fates and abnormalities seems to be the tennis club of Lihai University High School.

Ogata Yui felt that at this moment he was a person who inadvertently lit a torch in the dark, but what the cluster of fire reflected was not the truth, but a bigger fog.She was in the mist, and she was far more panicked than facing the darkness before.

Even thinking, maybe I can extinguish this fire?

Darkness can consume her, but the mist can make her lose her way alone.

Her expression was as usual, but the more normal she was, the more Chi could sense that a certain suppressed emotion in the air was quietly spreading.He couldn't tell what it was.

"The teacher is looking for you outside because you failed the exam again this time?"

Her voice was soft.

Originally, he didn't want to answer such an embarrassing question, but maybe it was his intuition that detected the abnormality of the girl at the moment, and an unknown force prompted him to act, "...Yes, yes."

It seems like it can't be left alone.

——Why wake up and realize the truth.

——If on the eve of that Valentine's Day, I could hold Marui Bunta's outstretched hand, none of this would have happened.

—Anyway, she doesn't hate Wen Tai, nor does she hate Lian Er.She hates no one.

"Are your grades bad?" She stared straight into Kirihara Chiya's eyes.

"What?! It's none of your business!"

"Actually, my grades are not bad, although not as good as Liu Sheng..."

"I'm also very good at tennis!" Chi said unconvinced, "And one day I will beat my seniors!"

"If you take the test yourself, you can also get to the top of the grade."

"Hello?! Are you listening to me?"

"I passed the grade No. 6 this time."

"I've reached level 130 and five in the flying car game!"

"..."

She seemed to finally realize that she was talking across channels, stopped meaningless thoughts, and stared blankly at Chiya Kirihara, until she saw the boy almost hovering on the edge of fried hair.

——If you are destined to live among lies, can you choose one from them?

——Compared to Marui Bunta, who would change the scene because he was unwilling, and Yanagi Renji, who went back in time because he wanted to protect her, isn't Kirihara Akashi more able to maintain the illusion of normality?

She hates no one.

Didn't like anyone either.

"Akaya Kirihara," she said, like a boat that would be overturned by wind and waves at any time in the ocean, finding an anchor in the illusion, "Let me help you make up your lessons."

Kirihara Chi was also stunned for a long time: "..."

He didn't seem to have thought of the girl's magical proposal. It took a while for his brain to buffer before he understood what she meant.

The teenager stared.

As if he had encountered something dangerous, he took a few steps back, slammed his back against the door, and slammed the classroom door shut.

"W-why!?"

At this moment, he regretted that he was meddling in his own business, and he would have left her here if he had known.

"Because your grades are poor."

"...You don't need to emphasize this!!"

The girl tilted her head, seeing Kirihara Chiya's vigilant look of "you are very dangerous", the inexplicable confidence that had just been accumulated, couldn't help being punctured like an inflated balloon, and was completely discouraged for a while.

"Okay," she woke up, "I'll just talk about it."

"..."

"Excuse me, can I stay here alone?"

"..."

Kirihara Chi also seemed to be relieved, turned his head and ran out, and rarely closed the door for her intimately.

Finally, she was alone in the classroom.

As if he didn't even have the strength to sigh, Ogata Yui squatted down silently, buried his face in his knees, regretting his inexplicable proposal just now.

She felt that she was an abandoned lonely tower in the vast ocean, even if she wanted to send a distress signal, there was no receiver.

I am too weak to have such thoughts...

It's also a shame.

She took a deep breath.

"You...you won't cry, will you?"

Who in the classroom went back and forth, stood stiffly in front of her, and asked sincerely with a guilty tone, "Did I make you cry?"

Yui Ogata raised his face.

Unexpectedly, the girl's eyes were clear and there were no tears on her face.

Kirihara Chi also had a face of "Damn it, I fell for it!", but he still reluctantly squatted in front of her, "What's wrong with you? You were bullied at school, so you want to follow me?"

"..."

I don't know what the boy was thinking about, he hesitated, and whispered, "I can protect you, but I don't like making up lessons."

Seeing the serious expression on the young man's face, she actually wanted to laugh a little.

"I wasn't being bullied," she explained.

"... Oh." He said again, 'Damn it, I've been fooled again! ' expression, but because the girl looked like she would cry at any time, she responded with a muffled voice without daring to speak.

"I'm sorry," she said.

The young man scratched his hair, which was a little messy due to natural curly hair, and suddenly felt that he didn't want to care about it, "You are really strange, why did you say sorry to me..."

Ogata Yui didn't explain the unspeakable apologies to Kirihara Chiya, and stood up, because he squatted for a while, and almost fell to the ground when his legs gave way.She avoided Chiya's gesture of reaching out to support her, and pushed open the door of the classroom.

"Akaya Kirihara, you are also very strange."

You kelp-headed moron who can't use backtracking to kill things that don't go your way.

"Huh?" Although she looked fine, Kirihara Chiya was still a little afraid of her, and just followed behind in a low voice to protest, "Don't be told that by someone who is a good teacher."

"Is there anything wrong with helping you make up lessons?"

"I don't want it!" When this topic was brought up, he almost exploded again.

Now the girl was a little genuinely confused, "Why?"

"I hate studying so much!!"

She didn't seem to understand at all, "Hate studying?"

They walked downstairs one after another, and the last step connected the promenade, leading directly to Lihaida's garden.

As the wind in late autumn passed through the window and rolled up the unknown fragrance of plants and trees, those things that were invisibly poured into the air in the classroom and weighed more than a thousand catties seemed to gradually dissipate.

Kirihara Akaya turned his head, looked past the girl's puzzled expression, and looked at the grade list behind her, and sure enough, he saw her top-ranked name at a glance.

"Not everyone loves learning as much as you!" Kirihara Chi also looked at the ranking, a little unimaginable.

"Love learning?"

Still looking confused, she lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I don't like it."

"Huh?! Then you also—"

"But I don't hate it either."

At this moment of chatting, she seemed to think of some insignificant things, which happened not long after she met Liu Lian'er.

【It was a quiet afternoon.

The library of the High School Affiliated to Lihai University is built near the sea, and the wind blowing is often mixed with the smell of moist, slightly salty sea water. She closed the window of the library to isolate the chirping of seagulls, and then she remembered something like Yes, turn around and find Liu Lianer to settle the score.

"Why do you say that my chances of coming to the library are 0%! This is too much!"

Liu Lian Er still had that plain appearance.

"Because you don't like..."

"What, don't you like reading?" She thought for a while, but still felt that the data was arbitrary, "Maybe there are other things, let me come to the library?"

The boy quietly raised his eyes.

The seaside sky is always endless when it is clear.The slender figure of the girl facing the window looked hazy under the light, as if she would fall into it accidentally.

"Will it be?"

"..."

"But you don't like anything."

He asked and answered, and then concluded softly.

At that time, the girl just wrinkled her nose because of the smell of the sea breeze, as if she didn't hear him, she turned and closed the next window. 】

...does she have something she likes?Does she have a dislike?

Pulling back from the memory, the question inevitably pops up in my mind.

Once she thought about it carefully, she realized that the person "Yui Ogata" was actually a little strange to herself.

The home economics club I joined inexplicably, after a long time of practice, the minister would praise her for "doing a great job"; she was not interested in books, but Liu Lianer would praise her for "very careful" in the finishing work later; In the calligraphy class that I enrolled for her, even if she felt that she had no talent, the teacher often commented that "the writing is very good, only a little bit of mood"... These are the same as academic performance, as if there is a fixed proficiency requirement, as long as she does it seriously, she will be able to do it. Can light up those skills.

But now that I think about it, it's not something I like.

Her understanding of herself might not be as detailed as Liu Lianer's.

"Hey--"

Someone nearby asked dissatisfiedly, "Are you listening to me? What are you thinking?"

Ogata Yui came back to his senses.

"It's nothing," she walked down the steps, "I just think it's nice to have something annoying."

"what?"

Does the real Ogata Yui exist?Is it somewhere around the corner, waiting to be found?

Or was it futile no matter how hard she tried?

she does not know--

There were footsteps catching up behind her, and the flying schoolbag strap of the young man touched her elbow when he ran, and an unbearable itch easily appeared somewhere in the bottom of his heart—wanting to get close to him, wanting to be close to him.

This is an illusion.

Ogata Yui stretched out his hand and covered the place touched, as if wanting to appease it.

"But I think," Kirihara Chi also caught up, the boy's expression was pure and serious, he said, "No matter what, you are very good at getting No.6 in the exam."

"What if I cheated."

"Eh? That means you are very good at cheating!"

"Ha, hahaha——what, aren't you out of your mind?"

"Hey, don't go too far!!"

Chi also saw the girl's relaxed and tired expression as if she had figured something out in the twilight. Since she met this guy, it seemed to be the first time she saw her smile—it was actually to laugh at him.

But he didn't feel angry, just curious, "Why were you sad just now?"

"Well……"

Because I found that I was a character who was clearly arranged by the script.

"Did you say you were going to play video games after school?" Ogata Yui looked at the sky as if on a whim and said, "I'm going to try it some other day."

--she does not know.

But she thought she might as well try to find out who she really is and what she really likes.
