Machete Style Anime

Upon hearing this, Eriri became a little anxious, her pretty face turning bright red, but she still tried her best to refute what her best friend had said.

"If Xiao Qiong doesn't say anything, how will he know that you've silently done so much for him behind the scenes?"

In response to her best friend's righteous indignation, Kasugano Sora only replied with one sentence, and it was this sentence that dispelled Eriri's anger at standing up for her best friend.

"What I have done is less than one-thousandth of what the future will do for me."

……

……

……

After ending the call, Kasugano Sora sat on the bed, clutching the rabbit doll in her arms, her straight and slender legs curled up helplessly.

There was something she hadn't told her best friend: the reason she made that promise to the person she liked was because of a dream she'd had recently.

In that dream, young Kasugano Mirai and she returned to their rural hometown with their parents, just like in reality.

Unlike reality, in the dream, he kissed her.

In the empty hospital, two tiny children kissed clumsily yet greedily, inhaling each other's scent.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the two in the dream break through their sibling relationship and become a couple.

Later, both of them were admitted to university.

Upon graduation, they married in the presence of relatives, friends, and parents.

If the dream were to end abruptly there, it would still be a beautiful dream that would make a young girl blush.

But reality is never as good as it seems.

Several years after the couple in the dream got married, Kasugano Mirai took over the family business from her father, and they spent less and less time together.

Once, when she went to the hospital to see him, she heard a woman's voice coming from inside his office.

She was very familiar with that voice.

Because, in the past, she would often make those sounds at night during her husband's vigorous labor.

At that moment, she couldn't describe her feelings, and she just stood at the office door for a long, long time.

Unexpectedly, when the office door opened, she found that there was no one else inside except her husband.

She initially thought that her husband was under too much work pressure, which led him to watch those kinds of movies to relieve stress.

To help him relieve stress, she started going to the hospital more often after that, and would often sneak into his office to satisfy his physical desires.

Logically speaking, when under great pressure and unable to release it, one should have boundless energy.

But that's where the strangeness lies.

—His energy wasn't high, and he even felt a bit powerless in the face of her proactive advances.

So, the doubts that had been dispelled resurfaced in my mind.

She began to listen intently to the doorstep.

Although, this feeling is actually not pleasant.

But hard work pays off.

One day, she overheard the girl in the office asking her husband, "In the future, who will be cuter, me or your sister?"

"of course?"

"XX is the best in the world!"

Kasugano Sora has forgotten how she got home that day in her dream.

But she remembered very clearly that when the version of herself in the dream regained consciousness, her husband, her brother, Kasugano Mirai, was already lying at her feet covered in blood.

In her hand, she held a blood-stained, chilling woodcutter's knife.

It was clearly just a dream, but when she woke up that day, she felt a deep unease, as if she had experienced the overwhelming grief, self-blame, and collapse firsthand.

My fingers unconsciously brushed against the corner of my eye, and I realized that tears were already streaming down my face.

The Zhuangzi, in the chapter "On the Equality of Things," states that one day, Zhuang Zhou was sleeping on the grass and had a dream.

In his dream, he felt as if he had become a butterfly, fluttering and dancing in the air, wandering around, so happy that he forgot what he was originally like, and also forgot that he was transformed from Zhuangzi.

After a while, Zhuang Zhou suddenly woke up, but the dream was still clearly imprinted in his mind.

He got up and looked at himself, then thought about the dream. He was a little confused, unable to figure out whether he had become a butterfly in his dream, or whether the butterfly had become Zhuangzi in its dream.

This unusually realistic dream gave Kasugano Sora the same illusion of Zhuangzi's butterfly dream.

She couldn't tell whether she had become the person in her dream and killed her beloved, or whether the person in her dream had killed her beloved and then, out of guilt, turned into her.

Because of this dream, some questions that I couldn't understand in the past were answered.

For example, what exactly did she see when she accidentally pushed Kasugano Mirai down the stairs?

Driven by such emotions, many of her actions puzzled even herself.

Just like the milk-drinking incident not long ago.

While her best friend certainly encouraged her, why would she actually do it if she herself didn't want to?

..............................................................................

When Kato Megumi arrived at Kasugano's house, less than half an hour had passed.

She greeted Anna Kasugano, who opened the door, and also greeted Ikebana Kasugano, who was watching TV in the living room, before going upstairs to look for Sora Kasugano.

A few minutes later, when her friend opened the bedroom door, the observant girl noticed the blind spot.

Xiao Qiong's eyes were bloodshot, her eye sockets were slightly red, and her eyes were a little swollen, clearly indicating that she had just been crying.

"Could it be that she already knows about the future?"

That's what she thought, but on the surface, Kato Megumi didn't reveal the slightest flaw.

I followed my sister-in-law into the bedroom and accepted the barley tea she offered.

Kato Megumi casually placed it on the desk, looked directly into her sister-in-law's eyes, and asked in a relaxed tone, "Kyo, I have a question for you."

"Hui, just ask me if you have any questions."

To be honest, Kasugano Sora was also quite curious about why her childhood friend had come to find her for some important matter.

Kato Megumi carefully considered her words before saying expressionlessly, "Kozou already knows that I have a boy I like."

"Could it be that Hui wants to ask about relationship issues?"

"almost."

"I recently went for a walk and happened to see him being intimate with several girls. Xiaoqiong, what do you think I should do? What would you do in my shoes?"

Kasugano Sora answered without hesitation, "Of course, it's someone else who likes me!"

Under Kato Megumi's puzzled gaze, she further explained, "Netizens often say that three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged men are everywhere."

"Since Hui has discovered that the man is a womanizer and promiscuous, she should find another good man as soon as possible."

Kato Megumi understood her sister-in-law's explanation, but this made her look at her sister-in-law with a slightly strange expression.

Because, if she remembered correctly, when she asked her sister-in-law a similar question, her answer was that she could accept it as long as the other party didn't abandon her.

While double standards are a common human trait, isn't your double standard a bit excessive?

Even if the intention is good, it's really hard not to complain!

After much effort to suppress her urge to complain, Kato Megumi naturally shifted the topic to Kasugano Mirai: "Does Kosuke's advice to me to find someone else mean that Kosuke would do the same in this situation?"

"If I meet many girls I like in the future, I'll..."

"will not!"

Before Aome could finish speaking, Kasugano Sora interrupted her firmly.

"I will not marry anyone but my future!"

"If it's about the future, no matter how many times he looks for it, I won't say anything."

"..."

Silence is Cambridge tonight.

At this moment, Kasugano Sora's double standards were no longer concealed at all.

"Could you tell me your reasons?"

"Because I love the future the most!"

Seeing the deep love in her sister-in-law's eyes as she said those words, Kato Megumi remained silent.

But the girl hadn't finished speaking.

"Furthermore, does Hui think the future belongs to someone without a sense of proportion?"

"I don't deny that he might like other girls someday in the future, but do you think he would like all girls without any boundaries?"

"As long as he can control himself and the other person can accept my presence, it's not something that's hard for me to accept for us to live happily together."

"Hui asked for the reason, saying that there are even more surreal things in reality. While such things may challenge moral values, they do not pose any legal problems."

"The premise is that no one goes, or only one person goes, to fill out the marriage registration form."

……

……

……

In fact, Kato Megumi was aware of everything her sister-in-law said.

However, understanding these principles does not mean she can put them into practice.

Or rather, one cannot act as freely as one's sister-in-law.

She could tell that the reason the other person agreed to such an absurd proposal was not because they no longer loved her.

On the contrary, it was because of the depth of her love that she placed the other person above herself that she made such a suggestion.

Just as she was pondering the problem, Kasugano Sora finished speaking.
