"......

"What's with the eyes, that is.

Is this what it means to be stunned?

The air was getting serious as Minami began to talk about how Katsu became like that, but I couldn't help but look at him with suspicion.

"No, I can't imagine your standard language and honorific speech.

"Sometimes it has been, that it has been! I wasn't always like this in earnest, that I wasn't always like this, either!

I'm sorry, but I can't imagine such a thing as the South, which was just an ordinary shady character.

I can't imagine her being the twin peaks of the gag characters in our party with Kaido.

I'm not sure what to say, but I'm in emotional disagreement with the idea that it's the South that seems to be shaken off, and that it's not the South to spend time quietly in line with society.

No, I understand that we are talking about seriousness.

Part of me wonders if I should not interfere with that.

But, well, my emotions made my face more than the logic, and I couldn't help but speak out because Minami gave me a joke with her eyes.

You will be able to get the best results from your own personal computer. Is that that Katsura who fell in love with a guy from Kawasaki? Did you get your heart broken by asking the South for love advice?

I'm going to try to correct the trajectory of the story, but I can't break the story here.

You can't blame her for that behavior, and she returned to her usual expression.

It's not that I didn't get my heart broken, that I didn't, but I was in love with that woman for a while, that I was.

Soon the expression on his face turned sullen.

"I'd rather have been dumped.

It was a story of the past, but it was still unconvincing and uncomprehending, and anger seemed to be smoldering on its face.

You're going to be able to get rid of such resentment as much as possible by going ahead with the story.

Another side

From that one word, we became friends instantly.

It never happened to Katsura and Minami.

Even if the distance between them had grown a little, it was only because they had come to tolerate the other person a little better.

There were no special feelings there.

"Wow, I didn't know that happened.

Yes.

Still, I would say I've made progress just because I've learned to converse at any gathering of relatives.

My tone of voice has become more even and a little less reserved.

But that's all I can say.

Although we live close to each other, we rarely get the chance to see each other.

You will find that you will be able to get a lot more than just a few minutes of your time.

It's a good thing, isn't it?

Minami listens to Katsura while reading a book.

Although it may seem like he was just listening to the story, Minami was listening to him carefully.

You'll be able to get a good idea of what you're talking about.

You will be able to find out what you can do with it.

It's not just a matter of how you can get the best out of it, it's also a matter of how you can get the best out of it.

To put it simply, it's how to get together.

Hmmm, you need to listen to me more seriously.

I'm listening to you.

But unfortunately, there is no way for Minami, who only knows about love in two-dimensional world, to give a solid answer.

It's a good idea to have a good time with them.

On top of that, Masaru and Midori are too far apart in age.

A junior high school student and a college student.

It's not only the age of the person, but also the fact that it's a bit difficult to make the childlike Katsura to be considered as the opposite s*x, which limits the choice of advice for Minami.

Even when it comes to relationship advice, it's beyond the scope of answering.

It's a great idea if you succeed in this, Minami thinks as if it were someone else's business.

But for Katsura, Minami is the easiest person to talk to about this kind of relationship with his parents and classmates, so he cannot back down.

I warned him to listen seriously.

...... Why don't you try to make your lunch.

Honestly, it was Minami who thought the reaction was troublesome.

So, I offered a safe choice.

It is not possible to prepare brand-name clothes with the pocket money of a junior high school student, nor can you go to the hairdresser, nor can you prepare a special present.

Aside from being seen as a member of the opposite s*x, I thought I had presented a realistic borderline with the shallow idea that good cooking would be a plus.

I've never cooked.

Yeah, then that's the extent of your feelings.

I'll take care of you no more.

The rest is done or not.

Minami is half curious and half grateful to you for taking care of her, but she decides that this can be offset by a discussion of the past.

You're going to be able to get the most out of it.

You will be able to see that Minami's argument is not wrong.

The fact that you can't act on the opposite s*x you love just because you've never done it before is just a negative factor.

It's better for you to give up early for fear of failure.

There is such a story, but of course Minami would never think of such a thing.

I remember there was a character who liked homemade bento boxes as a strategy target.

That's the criterion according to the game brain.

Fortunately, Masaru and Midori are headed to the zoo and there is no difference between them, even if you take your lunch with you.

What's more.

That's not true!

In spite of the obvious, Katsura was motivated by South's provocation.

"So why don't you try it?

Let's do it!

Seeing his enthusiasm, Minami, who was having a little fun teasing Katsu, decided to give him a little push.

"Huh? My favorite food?

Yes, I hadn't heard of it before.

All relatives sit together.

The members were close in age.

The table was close to the dining table, as Minami, Shou and Midori were also close in age.

The fact that Minami, who usually eats quietly, asked Midori a question was surprising to her, or perhaps she blinked her eyes a few times and thought about it.

"Hmmm, omelet?

"I see.

"Yes, that's a sad reaction to hear it from Minami.

No, I was just wondering.

A whim is just a whim, so much for caring for a boy with big ears.

I'm not going to get into any more trouble, so Minami quickly diverted his attention away from the subject and dealt with Midori, who was involved with hey hey hey.

It's a good thing that you have a good chance of winning, and you regret early on that Midori was so happy that she immediately brought up the subject.

It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to get your hands on any more than a memory of a future boy who's going to be rejected because he thought he'd fail anyway, and that's what he did.

Thank you.

I was rewarded with a thank you.

"Huh?

She said her lunch was delicious.

At first I wondered what he was talking about.

From Minami's point of view, I had completely forgotten about it.

I didn't expect him to come all the way to report my rejection, so I had completely forgotten about it.

So, I wondered what it was like to be thanked by Katsu suddenly, but then I remembered that the word "bento" reminded me of such a thing.

"Wow, it worked!

"Yes!

I guess that's why I urged him to go on.

From there, Katsu happily recounted the details of what happened at the zoo like a child.

You can find a number of different types of shoes for you to choose from.

And so, what's next?

And if he had succeeded once, it was inevitable that he would ask again.

It's a good thing that the boy's eyes were shining, because he was fed up with the fact that he had to listen to a younger man's love story, and for a moment he thought he would refuse, but then he saw the boy's eyes shine and asked for help.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you want to do with it.

It was a mistake, and the South never thought it would be regretted.

Another side End

You've been a pretty good guy.

It's amazing that a leader can call me a good person after hearing this story, that I am.

Tired of talking, she takes a short break and orders a juice, then turns to me while sipping it and saying, "No, I've heard it all before, you're the older sister who was kind enough to help, right?

"No, just from what I've heard, you're the older sister who helped out out of kindness, right?

It's also called little meddling, that it's a big deal. I was just on your side, that I was.

"So that's it,

"As the leader imagines, that is, the problem arose afterwards, that is, but I'll summarize it in three lines at ......, that is, because I'm too lazy to talk about it.

I'll only tell you what I can tell you.

I could see Minami's intention to get him to do something about it.

Behind that, I could also see that she didn't want to talk any more if she could.

When I nodded my head and said it was okay to go ahead, Minami was slightly relieved and thought for a moment.

Weirdly enough, it worked out well and Sheng started dating.

I fell in love with Katsu while I was encouraging him.

Midori decided to study abroad and Masaru was dumped.

That's all I have to say.

"That's all you need to know, it's just the end of my youth.

I asked him if there was more to Minami's slightly joking explanation, and he didn't say that there was.

And so far, I still haven't heard how Katsu got to be in such a state.

"South

"......

It's going to be a serious story, but it looks like there's more to it than that from my point of view.

To hide a lie, the rule is to hide the 10% lie within the 90% truth.

Minami's manner of speaking makes it seem as if Kawasaki was the cause of the problem.

But my gut tells me otherwise.

Leaving Katsu in that situation is a matter of life and death, so we have to pursue the matter.

"What happened?

"......

I had a bad feeling at this stage.

To pursue it further would be tantamount to stepping into the relationship between Minami and Masaru.

It's understandable that Minami would choose to remain silent.

Above all, I understand that if you step in any further, there is no turning back.

Huh.

He scratches the back of his head and wonders if he should take any more steps or not, but I say no, if I'm going to let it go.

Knowing that, I take a step.

So I'll just play one card.

"Was it because of Katsura's parents?

!

Minami's reaction to those words was extraordinary.

You'll be able to find out what you know," she said, glaring at me like I was an enemy, and I just told her to calm down and explain.

I'll be able to see your resume. That's when I saw the guardian section.

......

The card you cut was a critical hit.

For a moment, the eyes of the South were so sharp that you might have thought they were swords, but when I told you why I knew, I became weak and South gave up.

...... That was an unfortunate accident. It was just bad timing, that it was.

Do you tell yourself that you don't have a choice, or is there another meaning?

I'm not going to be able to tell you what I know.

It started with Midori going abroad to study, and she dumped Katsu because she couldn't have a long-distance relationship. Katsu herself had accepted that fact, that she had accepted it. The shock of heartbreak was there, that it was, but it was within the range of recovery. Time should have healed that wound. However, misfortunes do occur at the same time, that they do.

It was a single accident.

There was only his father's name on Katsura's resume.

At first I thought he only wrote his father's name, but in the "Family Structure" section, he had to write his mother's name as well.

I asked Masaru about this when I joined the company.

At that time, Masaru said, "My mother is .

My mother is ......

He looked like he was having a hard time saying something.

I thought there was something going on, so I didn't pursue it at that time and never asked again.

Katsu's mother was having an affair, that she was. Even before we were married, that it was before. I had a good handle on it, that I did, but after Midori went abroad to study, that I finally found out. I was in such trouble at the time that I even had a DNA test done on Masaru, that I was in trouble. The result was the worst. Masaru was not related to his father, that he was a stranger.

The tone of voice was not a joke, that it was, but an expression of Minami's desire to distract herself from the situation.

"It's because Katsumi's father couldn't stand that fact, that he could not. When he found out that the son he was raising was a stranger's child, he was furious and hit not only his mother, but also Katsu, that he was furious. That's why Masaru was so devastated.

I could only listen to the heavy talk that made me wonder which daytime drama I was on.

Katsu's house was on the verge of falling apart. Even so, misfortunes are bound to happen. If only Katsu's mother had protected him, I'm sure Katsu wouldn't have been in the same situation.

I have to pause to talk, holding the glass in my hands as if reminiscing about the past, Minami looks at the ice in the glass, not making eye contact with me.

I can't help but notice that the next words in his narrative are not a good one.

"Katsu's mother ran away, that she did, leaving Katsu behind. Abandoning her flesh and blood son. Her relatives on her mother's side looked for her, that they did, but they couldn't find her. They don't even know where he is now, that they don't know where he is. All that's left is a father and his child who are not blood relatives.

It's impossible to imagine how Masaru feels after losing her reliable presence all at once.

The only thing I can do is to feel sorry for him.

It was decided at a relative's meeting that his father would raise him until he came of age, but he did the bare minimum, that he did. He threw himself into his work and rarely came home, that he did.

The environment is quite unfavorable for Katsu in the prime of adolescence.

It is not only a bitter memory for Katsu, but also a misfortune to come into play as a result of heartbreak.

......

I was in love with Masaru, and I was desperately trying to think of a way to help him in his weakness.

"Did you take that stand to make them think there was a need?

"That's what I'm talking about, that is.

For Minami, who was a high school student at the time, this action could only be described as a desperate measure.

He tried to stabilize Katsu's mind by making her dependent on him.

She didn't make him lean on her, but supported him by leaning on her.

Fortunately, Minami's actions were rewarded.

Masaru's good behavior made a good impression on his relatives, which helped.

To Masaru's father, Masaru was the symbol of betrayal, but in a sense, it didn't matter to his relatives, who were someone else's problem.

The fact that Minami's parents were friendly to Katsura may have helped to solidify Minami's plan.

Well, I've told you what I can tell you, that I have. So what is the leader going to do for us, that he is?

The eyes of the south, which had been doing that for years, would pierce me.

Word of the Day

Act rashly, desist.

But if you are determined to proceed.
