[Comprehensive Master Brothers War] Stubbornness

To be honest, being crushed mercilessly, no matter who it happened to, no one would be in a good mood, not to mention the situation of Hinata Rintaro is a bit special.

When Hinata Mayu explained the past, Nao sat silently, holding Hinata Mayu's hand without saying a word, even if Hinata Mayu talked about the fact that she was misunderstood by Hinata Rintaro, she still did not respond, just As if this matter had nothing to do with her, only she knew how uncomfortable she felt when her mother talked about the past.

"Nao, I'm sorry."

Hearing Rintaro Hyuga speak to her suddenly, Nao raised his head, and then met Rintaro Hyuga's eyes, his eyes were very complicated, with regret and apology, but Nao mercilessly moved Opened the line of sight.

What's the use of regretting now?She doesn't want to trust him anymore, because a father like him...she can't afford it.

"..." Looking at Nao's expression, Hinata Mayu sighed silently, and then she called softly, "Nao."

The attitude towards Hinata Rintaro is completely different. As soon as Nao heard Hinata Mayu call her, she looked at Hinata Mayu with a PIKAPIKA look. The eyes like a small animal made Hinata Mayu chuckle directly. Seeing Seeing the smile on her mother's face, she also smiled, and then asked softly, "Mom, what's the matter?"

"Yeah! My Nao is so cute!!" Hugging Nao, Hinata Mayu moved close to Nao's face, rubbed it hard, and then scented Nao's face, then said with a smile, "Nao, can I ask you to go out and pick up someone? Well, it's Natsume-kun and... the Asahina family who came here uninvited."

Speaking of Asahina's house, the smile on Hinata Mayu's face suddenly became a little strange. She didn't have any affection for the group of brats who wanted to snatch her precious daughter from her, but it seemed that they really cared For Nao's sake, she can still be kind to them, well, that's it.

"Huh?" After hearing Hinata Mayu's words, Nao was stunned, and she didn't know how to react when she heard the three words Asahina, "Mom, I..."

"Huh?" Tilting her head and smiling, Hinata Mayu touched Nao's head, seeing Nao's hesitant expression, she had a bit of disappointment on her face, "Can't you...?"

"No! I'll go now!" Seeing Hinata Mayu's expression, Nao immediately agreed.

After finishing speaking, Nao stood up and walked out the door. She never thought about why Hinata Mayu suddenly asked her to pick up someone, but because her mother wanted her, so she obeyed, that's all.

After watching Nao leave, Hinata Mayu breathed a sigh of relief, because she couldn't say something in front of Nao, so she had to push Nao away: "Rintaro, take advantage of Nao's absence. , I have something to tell you."

"Tell me, Mayu." Although he had a bad feeling, Hyuga Rintaro listened carefully.

Although I felt a little sorry for Hinata Rintaro, Hinata Mayu still said something hurtful: "I said it? Rintaro, I have been regretting it. At that time, I told Nao to forgive you, because I said this, Nao has been in a state of depression, because her ideas are contrary to my request, so she chose to obey my words, and has been trying to convince herself that I am not going to do this anymore, and let Nao do whatever she wants. She chooses on her own, whether it's moving out of Asahina's house or something, I will support her."

"Wait! Mayu, Nao, it's dangerous for a girl to live outside..."

"It's okay, Nao can live with Akane, and I think it's dangerous for Nao to continue living at Asahina's house." Without even thinking about it, Hinata Mayu directly interrupted Hinata Rintaro, and then saw Hinata Rintaro's expression Then, she suddenly asked, "Rintaro, Ema, what kind of character do you know about Nao? Can you tell me?"

"Huh? Mom, why did you suddenly ask this question...?" Hinata Ema asked suspiciously.

Hinata Mayu replied: "Because there is one thing, I have to ask your answers clearly before considering whether to tell you."

"Hmm..." After hearing Mayu Hinata's words, Ema Hinata began to think about the character of Nao she knew, "Well, Nao's words are always duplicity, a bit awkward, but actually very gentle and kind..."

While talking, Hinata Ema thought of Nao's awkward look, she was clearly concerned about her, but she was always stubborn, such a Nao... If you don't look at it, what should you do, even if you know that she can take care of herself? myself, but still worry.

Contrary to Hyuga Ema, Hyuga Rintaro did not speak.

Squinting his eyes slightly, Hinata Mayu looked at Hinata Rintaro, and said leisurely: "You really don't know what to say, okay? Rintaro."

"........."

There was an eerie silence.

Hinata Mayu actually guessed the answer, because when she was still alive, Rintaro knew that Nao's personality was no different from being cheerful and coquettish, but after she left, Rintaro went abroad because he didn't want to irritate Nao He usually heard about Nao from Akane, Yuta, and Ema, and he didn't really get in touch with Nao.

Among these, there is one very important point. Because Hinata Akane had a grudge against Hinata Rintaro, she didn't talk about it carefully when talking on the phone. Usually, she said something like "Nao is very good recently", and Hinata Yu What Tai said about Nao was Nao who helped Akane with housework today, what she did at school, etc. The only more specific thing was what she heard from Ema.

Based on the idea of ​​reporting good news but not worrying, Hyuga Ema usually said good things, she didn't mention a word about the cold war between Nao and her, and then after Hyuga Rintaro returned home, he saw a completely different from what he imagined. of Nao.

Hinata Rintaro imagined Nao's personality based on what Ema and others said was not much different from his childhood, but he became less coquettish and sensible, but when he returned to his country, he discovered Nao's character It was completely different from what he had imagined. Although he had already prepared for this, after all, what he heard was not what he heard, and what he saw was believing, but when he met Nao face to face, he found that the gap was a bit big.

Thoughtfulness is gone, replaced by sharp words.

Cheerful is no longer, replaced by a quiet personality.

No more tenderness, replaced by a mocking smile.

Generally speaking, even if one grows up, a person's personality will not change so much, right?

"Rintaro, next, I don't care whether Nao hates you or forgives you, because I don't want to put pressure on her anymore." Looking at the person in front of her, Hinata Mayu wanted to say that she didn't blame him, but She couldn't say it, after all, she felt very angry about what Hinata Rintaro did. Anyway, Nao is her only daughter, and her daughter was made like this, how could she not have any resentment, "Rintaro, You really don't know Nao at all, so I'll tell you specifically, in fact, Nao has a little... the precursor of schizophrenia, do you know?"

"!!!"

In a word, it was tantamount to dropping a fried egg, and Hinata Rintaro and Hinata Ema's expressions changed drastically in shock.

"Mom! What are you talking about!?" If you want to ask who is the most surprised person, it is naturally Hinata Ema. She has been with Nao all these years. How could Nao be a spirit... No, no, no, absolutely impossible! !

Although he has seen a lot, Rintaro Hinata was still shocked by the news. How could he not be surprised when he suddenly heard that his daughter had become Nahana: "Mayu, isn't this joke a bit too much!?"

"Who said I was joking? Would I be joking about this kind of thing?" There was a look of sadness in his eyes, Hinata Mayu said softly, "You really think... that I died in front of Nao, there is nothing wrong with Nao Any effect?"

"what?"

"Nao's personality is very similar to yours, Rintaro, just as stubborn, he will not easily doubt what he believes in, even if he hits the south wall, he will not turn back, but Nao and you have a fundamental difference Similarly, Nao's words are more responsible, and it is easier to get into the horns and not get out." Facing the shock of the two, Hinata Mayu explained.

"After I left, Nao managed to get out of her self-isolation. After she woke up until now, she still thinks about that time from time to time. Even if the people around said it was not her fault, but in the end, The one who can't forgive her is herself, because she has been blaming herself for killing me."

"Dead people are very easy to be forgotten. In order not to let me be forgotten, Nao has been forcing herself to remember everything that happened when she was a child. However, it is precisely because of this that she often feels uncomfortable because of real life. Feelings of guilt are like a big net, tightly engulfing her, no matter what, she can't be untied."

"But, Nao can't let Akane and the others find out that she's wrong, so she's been pretending and trying to maintain a normal appearance in front of them. Nao has lived like this for ten years, not ten days!"

"Stubborn, persistent, and finally stubbornness turned into paranoia."

"While unable to let go of the past, something happened in reality that made her blame herself even more, just like the fact that Ema was injured because of her, which was already very depressing, but in the end it added fuel to the fire, do you think... Nao Are you really all right?"

Midorima Kazuto also reminded Nao because of this, but he didn't know what Nao's mental state was. He only reminded Nao because of his understanding of Nao and to prevent it from happening. She is a person with too much sense of responsibility, and if she encounters something related to someone whom Nao values, she is likely to fall into a state of self-blame and unable to extricate herself.

Around Nao, there are many people who care about her, but for Nao, she doesn't want to affect them because of her own affairs, so she always shows a cheerful side in front of those people, and she is sad and everything on her own. swallow.
