never say i like you

No matter how hard Hojo Ichikawa tried to recall, he just couldn't remember. All the memories of Sakata Mitsuha when he was a child were blank like a blank sheet of paper in Hojo Ichikawa's mind.

The more he tried to think back, the more blank his brain responded to him. Even so, Hojo Ichikawa couldn't help but want to think back. Especially when Sakata Mitsuha dangled in his field of vision. when.

Hojo Ichikawa himself didn't know what he was thinking or what kind of plans he was holding. He himself hadn't figured it out at all.

The memory that was lost when he was a child. Before that, he didn’t care about it at all. He didn’t even think about trying to recall it. For him before, since he had already forgotten things, so would he think about it? It's not important at all. There is no need to think about it. Because Hojo Ichikawa thinks. If that memory is very important, then he has no reason to lose it so easily.

So, since it is unimportant, dispensable memory, it doesn't matter at all whether it is there or not. He doesn't think there is anything. But it's different now. Hojo Ichikawa now has a strong desire to recall the memory he lost when he was a child. A memory. And... this strong desire of his. It is multiplying day and night.

Hojo Ichikawa was also taken aback by his own strong desire. He even questioned himself many times. Is it because he knew that the lost memory was related to Sakata Mitsuha? So he That's why I want to recall it so much.

But in this way, Hojo Ichikawa couldn't figure it out even more. Why did he know that that memory had something to do with Sakata Mitsuha? Then he had to think about it involuntarily.

So. Get to the bottom of it. Where is the reason?

Hojo Ichikawa actually thought about it. He even asked himself: If he knew that the person related to his lost memory was not Mitsuha Sakata, but someone else, would he still be like this? I want to restore the memory of that time.

The answer should be no.

Just when Hojo Ichikawa asked himself in this way, at the same time he finished asking himself this question, there was a resolute voice deep in his heart, already answering him with the word 'no'.

That was Hojo Ichikawa's own voice. He knew it. He clearly understood the answer he gave without even thinking about it.

So, from this point of view, does it mean that only Mitsuha Sakata is different?

"Is Mr. Sakata different?" Hojo Ichikawa couldn't help talking to himself again.

Fortunately, he is the only one in this room now. If there are other people beside him, he will definitely be regarded as a 'snake spirit' by others.

But, let's not talk about other things right now.

It took a long time. It turned out that the "chrysanthemum" that Mr. Sakata told him in the morning was referring to that shameful place.

Hojo Ichikawa stared intently at the large characters of "man's chrysanthemum" displayed on the computer screen. There is also a super detailed explanation on the following page. There are pictures next to it. And it is actually a riding style. What should be seen and what should not be seen. He has seen everything clearly.

I feel so ashamed. And. It looks like it hurts. If I really do it like that, it won't hurt to death.

The 'chrysanthemum' obviously only has such a small entrance. Can such a thick 'thing' really fit in? No matter how you look at it, it must be able to 'explode the chrysanthemum'.

Hojo Ichikawa couldn't help touching his butt. He thought in his heart: Nima. I must defend my "chrysanthemum" no matter what I say. No one can try to pick it.

……

At the same time, in a small but unique European-style coffee shop on the opposite side of the building, Mitsuha Sakata was sitting face to face with another very handsome man, drinking hot fragrant coffee while chatting. It seems that the relationship between the two people is very good. They have always talked and laughed.

"Haha... Sakata. What's wrong with your left cheek. Who did you offend? It's the first time I've seen such a clear palm print. It's so funny. I'm sorry you dare to do it like this Haha..." Shunsuke Kamio sat down and saw the exaggeratedly red and swollen palm print on Mitsuha Sakata's left face. He couldn't help but burst out laughing.

That's right. The person who called Mitsuha Sakata just now and called him out is Shunsuke Kamio. That is Hojo Ichikawa's boss. The editor-in-chief of the editorial department of the popular shojo manga of 'Kyugawa Bookstore'.

At the same time, Kamio Shunsuke and Sakata Mitsuha are still old classmates. They graduated from the same prestigious university. They are the same age and have the same hobbies. Both are people who love the art department. Went to the drawing room together. After graduation, both of them are doing the jobs they like. And they are still working in the same company. It is the largest literature and art publishing house in Tokyo: 'Jiuchuan Bookstore'.

The only difference is that Kamio Shunsuke is engaged in the work of manga editor, while Sakata Mitsuha is a big-name manga writer who signed a contract with 'Jiuchuan Bookstore' as a professional manga artist.

Although the work is a bit different, they are basically the same. They are all related to painting. But in the company, there are almost no people who know the friendship between the two of them.

In fact, Shunsuke Kamio's ability to draw comics is also at the top level. It can even be called a genius.

As long as he is willing, he can have the title and fame of the same level as Sakata Sanye if he publishes a comic. But he himself prefers the job of editing, so he became a comic editor. And he is still super powerful Editor-in-Chief.

He is also well-known outside. Almost no one in the literary and art circles does not know him. He is quite popular. However, he is just like Sakata Sanye. He is also a weirdo.

"That's not why you asked me to come out. Why are you laughing? What's so funny? I'm sick." Mitsuha Sakata glared at Shunsuke Kamio viciously, and said angrily.

It's not that the bastard just said that he has something important to tell him. It's something related to Hojo Ichikawa. Otherwise, how could he be like this. With such an obvious slap mark on his face, he wandered around on the street.

He is not a fool.

"Of course I'm not sick. But you look really funny in this way." Kamio Shunsuke still leaned forward and back with a smile from ear to ear.

"Hey, you came here on purpose to find fault, right?" Seeing that Kamio Shunsuke was still laughing at him, even laughing more and more, Sakata Mitsuha couldn't help but frowned, a little unhappy.

Why does it feel like this guy sometimes wears the same pair of pants as Kawasaki's deadly 'monster'. They both like to talk about what they have and what they don't. They come here on purpose to piss him off.

Seeing him unhappy is so happy. Bah. It's really a mistake to make a bad friend.

"No. Haha..." Kamio Shunsuke answered Sakata Mitsuha very simply. But he kept laughing all the time. He didn't intend to reflect on his faux pas at all.

"..."

Grandma. No matter how you look at it, this bastard is here to find fault. Something important related to Hojo-kun. It must have been made up by this bastard to trick him into following.

"Okay. I don't want to laugh anymore. Don't stare at me with a stern face. It will make me afraid to sleep at night." Sakata Sanye seems to be really angry. It seems that he still wants to get up and leave Shunsuke Kamio coughed lightly twice, corrected his attitude again, stopped making fun of Mitsuha Sakata, and put on an extremely serious expression instead.

"..."

Damn. Seeing that he wants to leave. Finally, he is willing to be serious.

"Stop talking nonsense. Let's talk. What is the reason you asked me to come out? Also, what you said on the phone about Hojo-kun. What is it? Tell me quickly." Sakata Sanye hurriedly urged.

As long as it is related to Hojo Ichikawa, he can't calm down. He can sit on a stool.

In Mitsuha Sakata's heart, matters related to Hojo Ichikawa always come first. Therefore, as long as you let him know that it is related to Hojo Ichikawa, he will be very anxious.

If you still want to calm him down at this time, then go to Hojo Ichikawa himself and come and kiss him.

"Well..." Shunsuke Kamio spoke halfway and then paused. He seemed to be hesitating how to say it.

"Bastard, if you have a fart, you should put it away quickly. Don't have my appetite like this." Sakata Mitsuha was about to die of anxiety. It's a shame that Kamio Shunsuke can be such a mother-in-law. Not at all Not simply.

"Oh, I'm not in a hurry. Why are you in a hurry. Let me sum up what I want to say later." Shunsuke Kamio rolled his eyes at Mitsuha Sakata very rudely.

This guy Sakata is still the same. As soon as he heard about Hojo Ichikawa, he was more active than anyone else. I really convinced him.

"..."

You bastard. Of course you don’t need to be in a hurry. But I am in a hurry. How many people will be like you. Even if you say something, you have to come to a big summary first.

Nervous.

"Sakata, let me ask you a few questions first. How is your relationship with Hojo Ichikawa? Are you two in a relationship now?" Kamio Shunsuke took a sip of hot coffee. Ask Mitsuha Sakata.

So much time has passed since Hojo Ichikawa officially passed the application and became a member of the manga editing department under his control. These two guys should already be dating.

"We haven't dated yet." Although he didn't want to admit it, Sakata Mitsuha still told the truth.

It was originally. Although few people would believe it, the facts speak louder than words. It is true that he and Hojo Ichikawa have not officially dated yet.

Although he has confessed his love to Hojo Ichikawa countless times, but people just ignore him. They don't take him seriously at all. It's even more unnecessary to think about dating.
