Chapter 133 The Feelings That Must Be Faced
"Ms. Ayaka, have you known about this for a long time?"

Baijie recalled what happened before, and he finally understood why Ayaka had been resentful towards him "before" and consciously prevented contact with him and Ye Ming.

She should have noticed Ye Ming's feelings from that time on, but she was the only one who realized it later.

"Yes."

Ayaka sighed, a melancholy sigh.

"For me, I don't want to give my brother to anyone—"

After all, I like my brother too. Although it was just a whisper as soft as a mosquito's buzz, Ayaka's words still reached his ears clearly.

Baijie raised his head and looked at her.

He could understand what Ayaka said.

After all, I am a game player, so of course I know that although Ayaka is Ye Ming's sister, she has always liked her brother since childhood.

"Of course, that was in the past... My brother is no longer a man now."

Ayaka shook her head.

A complex and wavering expression appeared on her small face.

Yes, Ayaka has recently completely accepted the fact that Ye Ming has become a woman. She knows very well that her former brother is gone forever - however, her mood is still very complicated.

"I don't have any expectations... My brother has already been engaged to Miss Kohagi in order to revive the Tsukigara clan. Even if he doesn't marry the eldest daughter of the Kurohimeyama family, he will probably marry another powerful woman."

As the adopted daughter of the Yuejialuo family, Ayaka has recognized the facts since she was a child. She does not ask for anything, but she hopes from the bottom of her heart that Ye Ming can be happy.

"So, Mr. Baijie, what are your thoughts?"

Ayaka asked him back seriously.

"What do you think of her, Ye Ming—"

"I."

Baijie answered after a slight hesitation.

"Lord Ye Ming, from my side...I probably can't treat her as a lover."

"Because she used to be a man?"

Ayaka asked softly, her eyes fixed on him.

"That... of course there is that, but," Bai Jie said with a wry smile, "there's also the fact that our identities aren't compatible. I don't have a noble background, so I'm afraid I can't stand with her."

"Isn't this just an excuse you use to make excuses?"

Ayaka looked straight at him.

She spoke as if she could see through people's hearts.

"Is that really what you think?"

"this?"

Baijie didn't know what to say, but Ayaka's cold gaze was quite piercing.

"never mind."

She suddenly shook her head.

"This is a matter between you two. I, Ayaka, don't intend to interfere too much... However, you should explain it clearly to Ye Ming, my adopted sister."

Ayaka changed her words and called Ye Ming "adopted sister", which also showed that she completely accepted Ye Ming's new identity.

She cast aside all the doubts and confusion in her mind and said frankly with a sincere expression, "I think you need to tell her your thoughts in person."

Baijie nodded when he heard this.

He really had no reason to retreat from his feelings for Ye Ming.

If the other person really feels that way, then it is necessary to talk to her face to face in person.

"I see."

"very good."

Ayaka smiled faintly.

"That's good... I'll try to provide you with an opportunity."

"The problem is, Ye Ming has been consciously avoiding me."

"She's throwing a tantrum, but there are ways around it."

Ayaka smiled and said, "I'll find a way."

……

Ever since what happened last night, Hiiragi Hiruko's mood has been filled with complicated emotions.

The chest feels hot and breathing becomes difficult; indeed, this is a form of anxiety.

She was distraught.

There seems to be a misunderstanding between Baijie and Miss Yeming?

Is it because of me?

——However, the relationship between them is not that kind of "relationship".

She tried to convince herself.

In other words, she is not a mistress.

However, she felt an involuntary pain in her chest.

"But...what is their relationship?"

We are really not lovers.

However, when Yue Jialuo Yeming left, his eyes seemed to be about to cry, as if he was enduring pain.

Mr. Baijie also looks a little strange.

The girl's mood was filled with anxiety, yet also with a sense of unease.

"I do not understand……"

Hiiragi Hiruko trembled with the unbearable pain in her chest and thought in annoyance.

She had no idea why her feelings were causing such pain in her chest. This strange feeling, like a mixture of the discomfort she felt when encountering sadness and pain, and the fluttering feeling in her heart every time she was in Baijie's presence, was truly indescribable.

In fact, Hiiragi Hiruko was confused and told Fumi about her inner doubts.

"Oh~~ Did you just realize it now?"

Shiromiya Fumi looked at a "silly child" with her eyes narrowed in amusement.

"Hiroko, you're in love... You really have fallen in love with that man named Baijie."

She made that point directly.

Suddenly, Hiiragi Hiruko finally understood. She finally understood clearly what was going on with her feelings.

"But."

She frowned again.

"Mr. Baijie and I haven't been in contact for too long. We've only run into each other a few times."

"That's what liking someone and being in love is all about."

There was a smile in Fumei's eyes as she looked at the shrine maiden whom she had raised since childhood.

"Sometimes it's love at first sight, and sometimes it develops over time... The relationship between men and women is so complicated. It has nothing to do with the length of time between people. If you like someone, you like them. If you don't like someone, you don't like them. It's that simple."

“…Is that so?”

Her answer was a bit lacking in confidence.

“As expected…”

Fumei didn't care. She knew very well that this child, who was raised in a secluded place, was experiencing such feelings for the first time.

She had no confidence in herself, and she couldn't clearly understand why she fell in love with someone else - this child couldn't even understand her own love.

"As expected... just reading some love stories in books won't help her grow."

Fumei was in an extremely joyful mood. Such a young love affair really allowed her to enjoy it to the fullest.

As the saying goes, boredom can kill people. Life in the Kamizakura headquarters can be said to be extremely boring. The development of Hiruko Hiiragi's love affair is "very interesting" to her, and she is very interested in getting involved.

"However, I have done divination for that Mr. Baijie."

She continued with a smile, "He seems to be in trouble with women. I even heard that he's surrounded by many women. Zhuzi, if you don't work hard, he'll probably be snatched away soon, right?"

"Stolen?"

"Good men are always targeted first, and you might not be the only one who likes him. Can you accept the fact that he was taken away and is with someone else?"

Fumi noticed her confusion, but she wasn't too worried. Instead, she smiled and said, "You haven't experienced jealousy yet, right?"

"Eh?"

"Hehe~ Maybe you'll understand soon."

Fumei was full of confidence. She seemed to have anticipated this and spoke slowly, "When that time comes, you won't be able to tolerate him being with other women. Even if it's just contact, you won't be able to tolerate it."

Just as Fumi predicted, Hiiragi Hiruko experienced what jealousy was. She felt a dark and strong emotion about the relationship between the two people and about what happened between him and her.

"Miss Hiruko, are you okay?"

A hoarse male voice sounded.

Hiiragi Hiruko looked up in surprise and found that it was Renjo Senjuro.

"The climate in Hokuto is quite extreme. It's even colder here than in Dewa Province... Kasumi Castle and the Tenjinzakura provide shelter. Miss Hiruko will probably feel a little uncomfortable after leaving Dewa."

Lian Zhang looked at her with concern.

"The Great Imperial Shaman is not actually suitable to leave the land where the Guardian God stays. You don't have to come here."

"Do not."

Hiiragi Hiruko shook her head: "I have this obligation."

As she said this, she also took out a pendant from her chest. It was a pendant strung together with a thin red rope and looked like a piece of wood.

"This is part of Mahouka's power. As long as you wear it, you will be protected by it, just like staying within the borders of Dewa Province."

Hiiragi Hiruko explained.

"Yeah."

Renjo Senjuro was not too surprised.

"Even so...are you worried? Otherwise you wouldn't be sitting here alone."

Are you troubled?
"Yeah, I'm worried."

Hiiragi Hiruko lowered her eyes gloomily, revealing an expression she rarely wore. Her profile looked as if she was enduring something, a shadow of uneasiness cast over it.

"Is it because of something related to that young man Baijie?"

Lian Zhang asked calmly.

The girl was slightly startled and looked at him with some surprise.

"Well~ After all, everyone saw what happened last night."

Lian Zhang also looked troubled.

He wondered, what on earth was going on?

He actually didn't bother to care about the young man named Bai Jie and the young master of the Yuejialuo family.

However, now it just so happens that the daughter of the great imperial wizard, His Highness, is also involved.

"I boasted before that I would help Zhouzi find a suitable partner, but I never expected the situation to develop to this point... How could she fall in love with that brat?"

Renjo Senjuro felt both helpless and amused.

He knew Zhou Zi's true identity, and that prince had always been keeping an eye on her.

Although His Highness said that he would not be too picky about the choice of Huzi's future husband, even Lianzhang did not expect that she would make such a choice.

However, Lian Zhang could not find any reason to stop it.

He sighed inwardly and said calmly, "Maybe I'm being nosy, but... just now Baijie seemed to have gone into the woods. I thought he was getting ready to leave, but it seems he was meeting someone."

After Ren Zhang finished speaking, Hiiragi Hiruko could no longer sit still. A bad premonition was stirring deep in her chest.
