I, who advocate giving up, feel like a disqualified person

No, I came here to look for Rinquan River.

"Oh, by the way, do you know where the Rinsen River is?"

I didn't see Rinsen River when I came in.

"Ah... she seems to have gone home, saying something happened at home or something, so I played games by myself. It wasn't boring. Do you want to play?"

Lingcan said as he was about to hand me another game controller.

"No, forget it today, I have other things to do..."

Considering the current situation, the only thing I can do is go find Rin Hanekawa to ask about the situation.

"Well, I think so..." She stopped working and looked at me with an encouraging look, "Come on, get Rinquanchuan back soon. I still have many projects to challenge her with."

Seeing that Lingcan was still so cheerful, my mood unconsciously improved.

"Believe me, I will definitely find her back, but by then, you'd better not lose again."

"It's not your turn to mock me, useless knight."

"Hehe, if you lose then, I will laugh at you."

I couldn't help laughing when I said this, and the scene of Lingcan's defeat appeared in my mind.

"Just wait and see, I will definitely win, and then I will laugh at you and her." As he said that, he clenched his tiny fist towards me.

"..."

Looking at Lingcan's serious yet expectant eyes, I smiled unconsciously and turned to walk out the door.

【True Title】

What I can't see after turning around is the true gaze

[Easter eggs?]

Why does Rinsenkawa have to be on stage... Obviously, I can do it alone, or...

So it is...Sheji likes her.

Really, shouldn't we have understood this a long time ago? This is something I should have understood...but I still don't want to admit it...It's almost time...and by then, maybe the situation will be different.

At this moment, tears flashed in her eyes as she looked at Sheji's back, revealing a hint of sadness.

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

Fighting for what you desire is what a knight does.

So please do your best and let the things we cherish and have always possessed return to us... I can only leave it to you.

But when will this hardworking and handsome back appear in front of others when I encounter something?

At this moment, she looked at Sheji's back, a trace of melancholy in her eyes.

Let go and let things take their own course

What am I supposed to do...or what can I do?

Given that Rinsenkawa's stance is unclear, how many situations should be considered... Ahhh, this is so annoying. Why do such troubles always happen at critical moments? Is this a novel? Is it really that weird?

But even though we complain, we still can't relax at this critical moment.

You have to be prepared for both situations...

I stopped, thought for a moment, and then turned back to the music club's activity room.

Chapter 36: Let go and let things take their own course

Now I am standing in the student union's dedicated meeting room. Because the door is closed, I am not sure whether Rin Hanekawa is inside.

After hesitating for two seconds, I knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

A familiar voice, speaking in such an unusually dignified voice, is really not suitable for my impression of Rin Hanekawa.

“Yo…yo…”

I opened the door and looked around, but no one was there.

"I was wondering who it was... Looks like you already know. Is it about the Rinsen River?"

Rin Yukawa glanced at me, then lowered his head to look at some documents... They should be reports or something like that, he's really busy.

And this action brings a strong sense of déjà vu... worthy of being sisters...

"Oh, yes." I found a seat and sat down. "What did you say to her..."

"It's nothing... [It was a surprise] [Keep doing your best] or something like that. I didn't mean any harm at all."

It sounds so easy, but is it really that simple?

"Is that so? Nothing else?"

I find it a little unbelievable.

"It's true... I don't understand why she reacted so strongly... Maybe she just hates me."

After saying this, he smiled bitterly, as if he had accepted the reality he had imagined.

"No." I denied Rin Hanekawa's point. "Think about it carefully... Oh, can you recreate what you said to Rin Izumi at that time? And imitate the tone as well?"

I commanded Rinhanekawa like this.

"Why should I listen to you...and don't you see I'm so busy here..." She answered me without raising her head.

She's really not the type to be ordered around. It's hard for a girl to be so assertive to find a boyfriend...

"This is the only chance for Rinquanchuan to perform. If you want to cancel it, then go ahead. She's not my sister anyway, so I have no say in what she becomes, right?"

Then he stood up and prepared to leave.

"Wait, come back here!"

Rin Hanekawa yelled at me in a very tough tone... It was really rude, but I still heard a tone of compromise.

Hey... that move just now is really a panacea...

I learned this from bargaining at the vegetable market when I was a kid.

In fact, when dealing with any businessman, as long as you throw out the words "forget it", there is a 99% chance that they will compromise with you. This is even more true in negotiations. You have to pretend that you don't care.

However, the prerequisite is that this event is relatively important to the negotiating party, and even if the other party does as they say, it will not cause too much loss to the other party.

"...Oh." I silently returned to my original seat.

"You guy..." She glared at me angrily.

"Hey..." Faced with this expression, I chose to play dumb.

"Huh... Never mind." She sighed and put down what she was doing. "Listen carefully, I'll only imitate you this once."

The voice actually became shy... He was just imitating me, is there any need to react so strongly?

"Okay." I answered briefly and looked at Rin Hanekawa.

"Cough cough." She coughed twice, as if trying to find the feeling.

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

"I've learned it well... Do you have any idea?... Hmm?"

She looked at me nervously.

"Uh..." I didn't know how to answer for a moment, so I had to confirm with her again, "Are you sure that's what you said just now?"

"That's right, and it's 100%... well, at least 90% accurate." She added, "Is there still no conclusion? I won't..."

"No." I interrupted Rin Hanekawa, "The facts are already very clear... It seems that you have no self-awareness, so it must be unintentional, but unfortunately, Rin Hanekawa is a little sensitive..."

"Wait, what are you talking about... Why did Izumikawa act like that? From the way you sound, it seems like I'm wrong..."

She asked me with a frown.

"Well, it's not that you're wrong, but the reason is still you," I explained.

"What... I don't know what you're talking about... It doesn't make any sense..."

Rinhanekawa complained to me.

"Well, even though you didn't mean it, from what I hear, the tone of your words just now can easily make people feel that you are mocking... I feel that way too, let alone Rinquanchuan..."

"That's impossible! I clearly..."

"It's about the tone... Maybe you're used to it..."

I am speechless about this situation. I can't believe that such a small mistake can happen...

"What should I do now? Should I do something..."

Rin Hanekawa seemed a little at a loss... So even the respected President Rin Hanekawa would have moments like this... I really do know too much.

"Yeah, what should I do..."

I touched my chin and thought for a moment.

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

People always underestimate the power of words because speaking and conversation are so common that they are easily overlooked.

In fact, people who truly understand language can make good use of it.

As a skinny, unathletic loser, words were my only gift, and I had already experienced their power firsthand.

Being able to quickly change other people's emotions, being able to guide others to do things that benefit themselves, being able to create illusions... In short, there are many things that can be done, and they are often beneficial to oneself.

And words can be used to hurt others.

Whether it is abusive language, sarcastic language, or deceptive language, it will hurt others.

This is why there are so many "rhythm masters" and "water armies" on the Internet now, because they can maximize the lethality of language and use it to destroy the target's will.

Well, even though I think too much, the power of language cannot be underestimated.

As for Rinizumikawa, it should be due to psychological reasons that she had emotional fluctuations because of Rinizumikawa's unintentional words. Logically, I just need to persuade her... However, I can't persuade her every time, especially in the future, when she faces more people other than her relatives and friends, and receives a blow, she must have the ability to self-regulate.

So, I concluded that...

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

"Well, just ignore it."

I said to Rin Hanekawa.

"Oh...are you kidding me!" She slammed the table excitedly.

It's so loud, doesn't it hurt your hand?

"What...what's wrong..."

Although I had already guessed the reason, I still couldn't help but ask.

"You're still asking what's wrong?! What do you mean by 'ignore it'? You come to me and ask me why and tell me to do this and that, and then you come to the conclusion 'ignore it'?"

"Well... that's exactly what's going on. If you don't understand, let me explain..."

"Of course I don't understand, you didn't explain it at all!"

She continued yelling at me.

"Okay... I get it..." I waved my hand to calm her down. "Actually, I can call Rinquanchuan and try to persuade her to go on stage as usual. I'm pretty confident she'll be successful..."

"Why don't you just do it this way? Why go through so much trouble?"

"That's not what I said."

I looked directly at Rinhanekawa, who looked angry.

"I can't always fix what happens to her. Besides, this is just a small matter. If I don't let her solve it herself, what will happen in the future? I can't always fix her problems, right? So, this time, I have to let her figure it out on her own. Besides, judging from the situation, you must have mocked Rinquanchuan a lot, right?"
