——”Hihi! Misaki-chan is here upon summon! Let me ask you, are you my master?”

A cheerful voice sounded beside them, responding to Kasumigaoka’s call, which startled everyone. When they looked over, they saw Kamiigusa Misaki standing there in a cute maid outfit. The style was similar to the ones in Nayuta’s class. She must have borrowed the clothes from the first-year maid shop.

As soon as the cute maid appeared, she happily threw herself on Kasumigaoka and rubbed her face hard.

Even though they had known each other for such a long time, Kasumigaoka was still not used to such overly intimate behavior. Her body stiffened instantly, but she did not try to break free from Misaki’s embrace. She was more confused at this moment.

“There’s a Misaki here too…”

“Xiao Shiyu getdaze! Come on, come with me and change into this maid outfit to stun the crowd! And I want to borrow those cute girls over there too, is that okay with you, Rookie-kun?”

Kato and Gogen looked at each other, not following the pace of the conversation.

Li Nian could probably understand it. It seemed that Misaki, who was walking past Nayuta’s class going to the maid cafe, was probably in a state of mind where she was excited to catch all the cute girls she knew, put them in maid outfits, and form a maid group that would feast the eyes.

This capture behavior that completely disregarded his own opinion gave him a sense of familiarity, as if “aliens are coming.”

Ignoring Shang Jinggusa’s opinion that he had chosen the wrong person, Li Nian turned around to look at the girl sitting opposite Senior Ren.

“Hmm~~ So the person next to me is the biological individual Kamiigusa Misaki, then who is the human over there who looks like Kamiigusa Misaki?”

“Biologically, I am also a real human, Newcomer-kun!” Misaki casually defended herself and looked around. “What are you looking at?”

“I’m looking at a Uegusa Misaki who doesn’t really exist in this world.”

“It means that the parallel worlds have finally begun to intersect, and the Earth on this plane has been invaded by another Earth, right?! The other me has finally appeared, I want to see it wherever it is!” Misaki, whose attention was quickly diverted, looked over excitedly.

After seeing Senior Ren and that girl, she was stunned for a moment. Her excited expression disappeared and she became dull all of a sudden, with a low muttering slipping out of the corner of her mouth.

“…It’s my sister.”

Li Nian suddenly realized: “Oh, I heard that you have a sister, that one? It’s quite surprising, I thought your barrier would be a large alien, now it seems that at least it looks quite normal. Why don’t you learn from your sister? It can be seen that if Senior Misaki is not so crazy, you will also be a pleasing beauty.”

Ignoring Li Nian’s teasing, Misaki was completely attracted by the two people at this moment. After looking at them for a while with a serious expression, she simply let go of Kasumigaoka and tried to lean out of the window, as if she wanted to eavesdrop on the conversation more clearly through such a dangerous action, but of course she couldn’t hear it at this distance.

Li Nian immediately reached out and grabbed the collar of this guy to prevent her from falling. He thought that this idiot was leaning too far and was about to fall. When he was about to pull her back, Misaki shrank back again, suddenly turned around and ran away, leaving behind a sentence “I can’t hear you here…” It seemed that she wanted to get closer to eavesdrop.

Looking at Misaki sliding through the dense crowd and disappearing at the entrance of the corridor, Kasumigaoka asked softly.

“……How to say?”

Li Nian stood there and looked down at Senior Ren and the woman who seemed to be Misaki’s sister.

Knowing that this was supposed to be a private occasion, and Misaki was a topic of conversation among the three childhood friends, he should not have bothered them if he was tactful. The discussion here was not urgent, so it was okay to postpone it…

After thinking for a while, Li Nian said.

“Follow.”

“Isn’t it a bad idea? It feels like you want to meddle in someone else’s couple’s family affair?” Wu Geng felt that something was not right.

Li Nian laughed, and her laugh was very mean.

“Because I feel like there’s some melon to eat.”

It turns out that liking to eat melons is human nature.

The relationship between Senior Ren and Senior Misaki has always been quite subtle. Regarding that, Li Nian has never taken the initiative to explore anything, but it is impossible to say that she is not curious.

Misaki is even more straightforward than Nayuta. Senior Jin, who is bluntly criticized 365 days a year, obviously cares about Misaki. It can be said that they are childhood sweethearts with a mutual affection for each other, but there is still no clarification between the two of them, and there is a very awkward feeling between them.

The former senior Ren almost deliberately lingered among other women. You would say he was a lustful scumbag, but this man always kept his distance from Misaki who was right at his doorstep.

Now that I think about it, it seems that the purpose of this guy hugging other women was to distance himself from Misaki?

Of course, after being criticized and stimulated by Li Nian, it seemed that he finally made up his mind. Senior Ren had long ago severed his relationship with those sOxfriends. Now Senior Ren has turned over a new leaf and clarified some of his feelings for Senior Misaki… But he still restrained his contact with Misaki and never crossed the line for a moment.

Sometimes Li Nian finds it unbelievable.

Now the appearance of Misaki’s sister provoked strange reactions from the two people. Judging from that reaction, the relationship between these three people is not as simple and pleasant as a relationship of playing together since childhood. Anyone can see that there must be some story… and Li Nian likes stories very much.

Under Gogen’s contemptuous gaze, Li Nian quickened his pace to catch up with senior Misaki, and everyone had no choice but to follow… In fact, after hearing that there was gossip to be had, everyone, including Gogen, had some interest on their faces.

Of course, by the way, just a little bit… Li Nian was a little worried about Misaki.

Because you could feel that Misaki, who was originally very happy, became noticeably lost and anxious after meeting her biological sister.

Misaki did not run to the first floor, but ran to the corner of the external stairs just above the two people, squatted stealthily and stuck her head out to observe the two people below. It can be said that this was a very smart choice.

When Li Nian and her group followed in, she rolled her eyes and made a hushing gesture. Without her saying anything, Li Nian had already lightened her steps. Seeing them like this, Kasumi no Oka and the others also started to move stealthily, and the five of them squeezed around the corner and looked down.

This distance is enough to hear the conversation between the two people.

“What are you planning to do by taking me to a place where there is no one?”

The voice sounded much more stable than Misaki’s, with a hint of seduction. Li Nian often heard similar jokes from Kasumigaoka, but it felt obviously different coming from this woman’s mouth… With just this one sentence, Li Nian was sure that the relationship between Misaki, the elder sister, and Senior Ren was definitely not simple.

“Of course I want to ask you what you are planning to do and what you want from me?” Senior Ren’s voice was a little cold.

“If there’s nothing going on, can’t your childhood friend come see you?”

“I think so. It’s a bit awkward to meet. Do you remember what you said when you dumped me?”

Everyone held their breath and immediately realized that the two had indeed dated before… It was not surprising that a well-known humanoid self-propelled artillery from Sobu High School had dated someone, but everyone just found out the identity of this woman…

At this moment, he couldn’t help but look towards Misaki.

——Misaki bit her lips tightly, her facial features twisted into a distorted look, as if she was about to burst into tears at the next moment.

This is an emotion that is hard to see from Misaki.

At this moment, Misaki thought of many unhappy past events.

The atmosphere suddenly became very solemn, causing everyone who had followed secretly with the intention of eating melons to feel guilty…

Kasumigaoka whispered, “Maybe I shouldn’t have come?”

“Isn’t this someone who wants to eat melons running over here?” Wu Geng poked Li Nian’s waist hard a few times: “She’s about to cry, do something.”

Li Nian, who really felt like he had caught some big news, glanced at Misaki at this time. Unlike everyone else who was suddenly thrown into disarray by Misaki’s unexpected reaction, he instead had a sense of enlightenment.

I have to watch the person I like dating my own sister in the past…so when I see these two people together, I have this kind of reaction.

Li Nian thought about it, reached out and patted Misaki on the head, and said softly.

“Don’t be so quick to cry, Senior Sister. Things are different now, aren’t they?”

Misaki looked over with tearful eyes, sniffed, took the toilet paper that Kato handed to her at the right time, and held back her tears by blowing her nose hard.

The conversation below continues.

When her former lover mentioned the past, the woman also sighed: “…How could I forget it?”

“Is that so? It seems like the person who says it is the first to forget it.”

“It was the first and last time that I hurt others and myself because of my words. I will never forget it.”

“…”

“Are you doubting me? Do you want me to say it again? I remember saying this at that time, right?” When Ren fell silent, it was obvious that he did it on purpose. The woman smiled and said slowly: “–To Ren, I am just a substitute for Misaki. He was afraid of hurting Misaki, and because he wanted her to stay beautiful and clean by his side, so he hugged me.”

Oh, Senior Ren deserves to be dumped – Li Nian thought so.

Everyone looked at Misaki again.

The latter just stared at the two without saying a word. It was unknown what kind of mood Misaki was in when listening to these words.

Li Nian just looked at Senior Ren and didn’t miss that his body trembled. The woman’s repetition of malicious words obviously achieved the desired effect. For Senior Ren, the words he heard when he was dumped were probably deeply engraved in his memory. He might feel like an old wound recurred if he heard them again at this time.

After a pause, Senior Ren answered in a low voice.

“…Ah, I will never forget these words…It’s my fault for not saying them at that time. I know it’s too late to say them now…Anyway, I’m sorry, Fuuka.”

Ren’s response surprised the woman, Kamiigusa Fuuka, and she remained silent for a while.

“…Hehe, I thought you wouldn’t respond to me. After all, you couldn’t even say a word of defense at that time, which made me feel that you would never dare to admit that you had thought about it in your life.”

“Well, even for me, after all these years, I have to grow up a bit as a man, right?”

“It seems so.”

Then there was another brief silence.

Fuuka spoke first.

“I was serious about Ren before.”

“…I was serious once.”

Misaki stared at the two of them with her lips tightly pursed.

“So, do you want to start over?”

After hearing this, Wu Geng and others felt that the situation was not good.

Misaki almost jumped up, and although she held it back, she was obviously getting very nervous, afraid that Ren would agree to this request.

Li Nian seemed very calm. He leaned his chin against the wall and continued to watch the show silently.

For Ren, this was a proposal he had never thought of. He was shocked for a while, and then gave a solemn response with a serious expression.

“it’s out of the question.”

Misaki breathed a sigh of relief. She was thankful, but also felt a little uncomfortable. She took her eyes off Ren and looked at her rejected sister.

Looking at her former lover’s expression of solemn rejection, Fengxiang was silent for a while, and suddenly burst out laughing.

“Why are you so serious? I was just kidding.”

“…I see. I think so.”

Rather than feeling embarrassed, Ren felt relieved.

“But, Ren, you’ve really changed a lot… I’m surprised. I thought you would still be wavering and continue to avoid life. I thought that would be worth playing with, so I came here.”

“…You are such a mean person. So you are just here to get revenge on your ex-boyfriend?”

“more or less.”

“I let you down.”

“Yes, I’m disappointed that you’ve become so serious… Why? What inspired you?”

“Because someone exposed my scars and mocked me mercilessly.”

“…You’re lucky to have met someone like that… Well, then, how should we face Misaki, Ren? You seem to have made up your mind, too?”

“……Yes.”

“Oh, that’s it, haha.”

Fuuka chuckled again, but this time it was soft and hearty.

As if she had let go of something, Fengxiang let out a breath and said with a cheerful smile: “Then let’s change the target. It’s a rare opportunity for me to come here, and I want to have some fun. Take me to visit your school festival.” As she said that, she turned around and skipped away.

“I’d love to.” Ren pretended to be a deacon and followed.

Li Nian watched the two walk away, and finally couldn’t help but complain: “Senior Kamiigusa, no matter how hard you pull, it’s only my thigh flesh, not your senior Ren’s hand. Fortunately, I have thick skin. If it was Kanda here, I’m afraid he would have cried out in pain and exposed himself.”

Chapter 501: The seniors who are about to graduate are all worrying

Misaki whispered, “I almost forgot…”

“Ah? Then why don’t you let go of your hand? What if you use more force? It will hurt even for me, okay?”

Li Nian felt fortunate that the guy only grabbed the thigh flesh and did not go up to the base of the thigh.

Misaki raised her head, her big eyes filled with tears. She was completely immersed in her own emotions, and she spoke about the past in a choked voice.

“Ren… When I started dating my sister, I regretted so much… I regretted so much… I regretted not telling him how much I liked him… Now when I think about it, I feel so sad…”

“Is that the one you’re about to forget about…” Li Nian, who was about to forcibly slap the man’s dirty hands away, stopped for a moment. He couldn’t do anything violent to a girl who was feeling sad because of the memories of the past. He said helplessly: “But to be honest, I guess your straightforward style was the same back then, right? What else is there to say? I won’t believe that your feelings were not noticed by that cunning guy. Ren must have known your feelings at the time and then he hugged your sister…”

Then he was pinched hard by Kato, and turned his head to meet the reproachful gaze: “Student Li Nian, you should think more before you speak. You are rubbing salt into the wounds of a crying girl. Do you think that being pinched on the thigh flesh is not cruel enough?”

It was true that Misaki had used more force, and was obviously stimulated. Li Nian couldn’t help but pull up the corners of his mouth in pain, but he just didn’t want to lie about such things, nor did he have the idea of ​​rubbing salt into the wound. He was just stating the facts and believed that there were some things that Kamiigusa should know clearly. Because in his opinion, the root cause of the distorted relationship between Kamiigusa and Mitaka Jin was more because of the overly wild Misaki senior, who was too emotional, so that after so many years, he didn’t see clearly that the childhood sweetheart who had always been by his side was the one who was indulged and taken care of during the communication.

“Senior, sometimes you should be more calm and go see your senior Ren.”

“There is no woman in this world who looks at Ren more than me!”

“Yeah, you’re cross-eyed, so you don’t see the whole picture of that person. As long as you close your eyes, you won’t take the initiative to explore the things behind that person’s appearance. I know it’s a bit difficult for your brain to think about things that are too complicated. When you think about things, you should be thankful that you can suppress your high emotions every day.”

“I can’t suppress it!”

“…That’s right. If you can suppress your emotions, you won’t be able to summon a creature like Igusa Misaki.” Li Nian gave up trying to correct this person’s worldview without hesitation: “Then can’t you find the right emotion to express yourself? You seem to be a little PTSD towards your sister. You started to get depressed when you saw Senior Ren walking with her. But you just heard that conversation. Didn’t you understand that it was the final cut? Congratulations, you can worry less about the possibility of the two of them rekindling their old love in the future, so isn’t it time to be happy now?”
