The chairman has been exhausted by Hyodo Takako since a few years ago until recently. She almost made unprecedented news in her own school. She barely managed to resolve the incident, and almost drove the old man crazy.

The chairman used the words "unbridled" and "reckless" to describe it, which shows that he is still gritting his teeth in his heart.

Compared to Hyoudou Takako's behavior of treating human life as worthless, even if the Izumo family really did some things like reselling artworks, it was nothing and could be said to be harmless to people and animals - at least Mogami Jun didn't think there was anything ugly about it.

In order to maintain the family, everyone uses their own methods, and as long as they are not caught, it is all thanks to their abilities. It cannot be said that the top family is very glorious, and they probably have no right to look down on others.

"I understand what you mean." Thinking of this, Mogami Jun nodded, "Please rest assured, I will consider it carefully."

"I have been under some pressure from your grandfather recently." After a moment of silence, the chairman suddenly said. "I think you should know what it is without me explaining it, right?"

"Is... is it Sagihara-senpai?" Mogami Jun asked immediately.

It was not difficult to guess that grandpa would vent his anger on senior sister Sagihara, and he was mentally prepared for it.

"Yes, he complained to me that Shiyin and you were too close and it affected your studies and life. He hoped that I could deal with it and separate her from you." The chairman nodded, "Then, what do you want me to do?"

"So, what do you want me to do?"

The chairman asked, looking at Mogami Jun with a hint of joking.

"I...I hope you don't do anything and just keep doing what you did in the past." Mogami Jun replied. "Don't pay attention to what my grandfather says. His ideas have nothing to do with me and you can't force them on me."

"I understand." The chairman was unexpectedly easy to talk to. Without asking any more questions, he simply nodded and accepted Mogami Jun's opinion. "Since you have your own idea, I will do it according to your wishes."

Then he smiled again, "After all, what can I do? You young people have your own worldview and your own way of doing things. How can an old man like me interfere? You haven't broken any laws. I can't just lock you up... Your grandfather's request is a bit unrealistic."

After all, the chairman himself did not want to interfere in such private matters. Young people have the freedom to make friends. In addition, Mogami Jun can be said to have made "many contributions" to the school, so he had no reason to interfere.

Besides, Kousuke Hezawa had retired a long time ago. Although the chairman would give him some face out of past friendship, he could not order the chairman to do anything after all, so the chairman simply and reasonably gave up interfering.

"Thank you for your understanding, Chairman..." Mogami Junya smiled, "I will continue to fight for the honor of my alma mater!"

"It's better not to struggle anymore... Just study quietly and graduate successfully..." The chairman's smile turned into a bitter one, "Your previous 'struggle' almost gave me a heart attack. If it happens a few more times, I'm afraid I really can't bear it!"

"...I hope so too." Jun Mogami could only answer with an awkward smile.

"Okay, it's almost time, you can go back." After laughing for a while, the chairman waved his hand, indicating that Mogami Jun could leave.

Just as Mogami Jun was about to say goodbye, the chairman suddenly seemed a little hesitant, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.

"Do you have any other instructions, Chairman?" Jun Mogami stopped and asked in confusion.

"Some of my words may make you young people unhappy, but considering the relationship between us, I will just say a few more words--" The chairman sighed, "From my point of view, Shiyin is a good child, but she is too far away from you. Maybe you don't think it's a big deal now, or even think that the adults' calculations are vulgar; but when you really grow up and enter the adult world, you will find that sometimes people have to be a little vulgar..."

There was sincerity in the chairman's voice, and it was obvious that he was speaking his true feelings to Mogami Jun, so although Mogami Jun was not very happy, he was not angry.

"So you are advising me to stay away from senior?" Mogami Jun asked in a low voice.

"That's not what I meant. I just advised you to make a decision as soon as possible. And I'm not speaking from your perspective, but from Shiyin's perspective." The chairman gave a strange answer. "People are like this sometimes. They are not afraid of despair, but they are afraid of having hope and then despair. Although I am an old man, I can see that her feelings for you are definitely special. If you continue like this, I'm afraid she will be even more trapped. If you break up at that time, guess how painful she will be? I'm afraid this is not a problem that can be solved by crying a few times."

Because he spoke so much in one breath, his mouth was a little dry, so he picked up the cup and took a sip of water before continuing.

"What I want to say is actually very simple. If you can't give others hope in the end, then make them wake up as soon as possible."

Mogami Jun remained silent.

He admitted that what the chairman said actually made sense and was the experience of a person who had been through it.

"I'm sorry, you won't be happy after hearing these words, and this is not something people of your age should consider. It's just that you are not an ordinary young person. You carry too many things, just like me when I was young. You are not living for yourself." The chairman's smile became more bitter, as if he thought of something. "Young people are full of vigor and vitality. They have everything and want everything, but eventually they grow up. They have to make painful choices, deciding what to keep for themselves and what to give up. It's really ridiculous to say that the times in Japan have changed. There are mobile phones and the Internet, but people are still the same people. Many things have not changed decades ago or decades later, and perhaps they will never change."

Jun Mogami heard some hidden meaning.

"Chairman, did you give up anything when you were young?" he asked in a low voice.

"I was young once, but I grew up, gave up some things, and took over my father's family business. I don't particularly like it, but I have to do it because I was born for this purpose." The chairman replied, "Looking back now, the situation is not that bad. I have maintained the name of the Horikawa family, have a happy family, and have children who can inherit this family name. This is not bad, isn't it?"

Jun Mogami didn't know how to answer. Maybe there was no correct answer at all.

"Okay, I have nothing more to say." The chairman waved his hand again, "Make your decision carefully and be a man who can take responsibility."

Jun Mogami nodded silently, then turned and left the office.

Although the chairman did not say how he thought he should choose, he actually hinted at how he thought he should choose in his words.

After all, some people live not just for themselves.

The joy of returning victorious was diluted by the chairman's words, but he also knew that the chairman was willing to say these words to him precisely because he regarded him as a junior, so he spoke so thoroughly.

So he doesn't dislike the chairman.

"If there is something wrong, it's probably my own fault." Mogami Jun muttered to himself.

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

In the twilight of the evening, Jun Mogami walked into the library without looking around, then strode across the hall and walked up the stairs to the second floor.

He knew that someone would be waiting for him there.

Yes, it must be there.

He opened the familiar reading room door and saw the thin figure sitting in the familiar seat.

The long black hair seemed to exude some kind of magic, attracting his footsteps.

The senior student heard the footsteps, turned around, and then smiled with relief.

"Chun Jun, congratulations, you are the winner!"

Yes, she must have known the news that she represented the school and won, so she must be happy for herself now.

But Jun Mogami didn't smile, and continued to walk in front of the senior.

"Eh? Are you unhappy?" His behavior made Sagihara Shion a little confused.

Mogami Jun bent down, almost to a ninety-degree angle.

"I'm sorry, Senpai."

Under the dim lights of the library, Mogami Jun sincerely apologized to Sagihara-senpai.

"What do you mean by suddenly coming over to apologize to me?" Sagihara Shion was immediately a little flustered. "Did something happen?"

"No, nothing happened." Mogami Jun shook his head, "I just think I shouldn't pretend I didn't know anything anymore."

"What do you mean you didn't notice anything?" Seeing that nothing happened, Senior Sister Sagihara felt a little relieved.

"Senior, I may sound a little arrogant and a little carried away by success, but - I still want to ask, do you like me?" asked Jun Mogami.

"Eh...eh!" This question made Sagihara Shion suddenly at a loss.

Her face suddenly turned red. "You-you came here suddenly just to ask this kind of question?"

"I'm sorry, I also think this kind of question is very embarrassing, but I have to ask it. I don't want to shrink or escape." Mogami Jun looked at Sagihara Shion seriously, "So, senior sister, what do you think? Am I overthinking it, or..."

Mogami Jun's seriousness slowly calmed Sagihara Shion down.

Although she was still confused about the current situation, she probably understood that Chunjun was not joking but asking seriously.

So…since he has the courage to ask clearly, why should I avoid it now?

We have to face it eventually, no matter what the outcome is.

Sagihara Shion took a deep breath and then answered.

"You didn't think much about it."

There is probably no confession more bizarre than this.

Jun Mogami was not surprised by this answer, because this was an obvious fact, but it was never pointed out between the two of them.

"Yes, Senior Sister likes me." He nodded, confirming this tacit fact, "Only if she likes me, Senior Sister would smile at me so brightly, feed me cake, and let me touch her..."

"Hey! You're getting more and more out of character!" Seeing that Mogami Jun was getting more and more outrageous, Sagihara Shion felt embarrassed and angry, and immediately stopped him, "Stop!"

"Oh, sorry, sorry." Mogami apologized immediately, "I was just... just giving an example."

"Really...really..." Sagihara Shion didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but in the end she didn't blame Mogami Jun.

Although she had imagined many scenarios of expressing her feelings, she never thought that she would be forced to confess under such circumstances.

It wasn't as romantic as I'd imagined, nor was there that sickeningly sweet feeling of happiness. Instead, it felt a bit awkward and confusing.

Alas, it’s all because of this silly boy’s straightforward mind. He is so experienced in all kinds of conspiracies and tricks on a daily basis, but he has no talent in this area - she couldn’t help but complain in her heart.

But she was willing to accept even this.

There was a long silence between the two people, as if they were both digesting this shocking fact.

"Jun-kun, why are you suddenly behaving like this?" After a long time, Sagihara Shion asked in a low voice.

"Because I...I want to figure out where I stand and what I must do," answered Jun Mogami.

The conversation with the chairman during the day gave him great inspiration.

Although he didn't necessarily agree with everything the old man said, there was one thing he said that was absolutely correct - if he kept pretending not to know about the senior sister's feelings and enjoying that kind of ambiguous freedom, it seemed too cunning and would be harming the senior sister.

The senior student held such feelings, and then was kept in the air by him until he finally said "I'm sorry, we are not suitable" - isn't that shameless?

So, he thought about it carefully, and finally decided to hold back his shyness and embarrassment and find the senior student to make things clear.

After making things clear, what should we do?

The chairman has already hinted that he should abandon Sagihara Shion.

This is not because he hates Sagihara-senpai, but purely from a social perspective. After all, the Sagihara family is unknown, and his father was even a prisoner for a time. And Izumo Asana is, after all, a descendant of a wealthy family.

If we look at it from this perspective, the importance of Sagihara Shion and Izumo Asana are completely different.

So from a utilitarian point of view, you should do this.

But, he is still a teenager after all.

"Senior, I have hidden some things from you before. Since you have feelings for me, I should tell you." Mogami Jun made the final decision and straightened his back.

Then, he told Sagihara Shion exactly what had happened to him.

Sagihara Shion listened quietly until she finally nodded.

"I see... No wonder you suddenly moved out of your home. It turned out to be to avoid the pressure from your elders."

"That's how it is." Mogami Jun nodded. "There were some things I couldn't do anything about at the time..."

"Of course I understand this, Jun-kun, you don't need to explain." Sagihara Shion nodded gently, "Then Jun-kun, what exactly are you thinking? Was your previous rejection because of me?"

"It's undeniable that part of it is definitely because of you, but it can't be said to be all because of you." Mogami Jun answered honestly, "Some of it is also because I'm angry, because I hate being arranged by my elders for my life."

"I see...it's true." Sagihara Shion nodded. "So, you asked me today because you couldn't handle the pressure?"

"No, no, I just think that if I continue to enjoy the happiness of being taken care of by a senior sister without taking any responsibility, it's really too cunning. I don't want to do this anymore." Mogami Jun still answered very honestly, "Senior sister, you should get more rewards..."

"Speaking of taking care of me, it's obvious that Jun-kun takes care of me more..." Sagihara Shion smiled bitterly, "So, now that you have my answer, what do you want to do?"

"If senior likes me...how about we try to date?" Mogami Jun asked cautiously. "Don't worry about what others say."

Another moment of silence.

"I don't quite understand what you mean—" Sagihara Shion blinked, then stared at Mogami Jun, "Jun-kun, are you feeling sorry for me?"

"Huh?" Mogami Jun was a little surprised.

He felt a little dazzled under the gaze of his senior.

"Senior, what do you mean by this? I...I don't quite understand."

"What I mean is..." Sagihara Shion dragged out her voice, "You are giving me alms again. I want many things, I want you, but I don't want to get you like this. If you give me alms, how can I stand in front of you!"

Tears sparkled in Sagihara Shion's eyes, but that certainly didn't mean she was unhappy.

When she heard Chunjun's question, she was so happy that she almost cried.

But because she was happy, she was also a little sad, so sad that she almost cried.

"You are under pressure, and you are afraid that I will be sad and disappointed, so you come to me and say that you are willing to accept my feelings. Very good, thank you, but... aren't you humiliating me?" Sagihara Shion blinked, then replied calmly, "I am looking at you, feeling your every expression and look, so I don't feel that you accept me wholeheartedly. You just feel sorry for me and think that I can't bear the weight of fate, so you are afraid that I will collapse after losing everything... Okay, I admit that I might, but... I will never allow the things I want and cherish the most to be given to me by others because they feel sorry for me! What is given to me will definitely not be true happiness. I have to get what I want myself, because I think I deserve it... Do you understand?"

Then she smiled slightly, "You probably don't understand, but it doesn't matter, I'm really happy tonight, because Chunjun is still considering my feelings even at this time, you are probably the only one in the world who treats me like this... But sacrificing yourself is not fun, and I don't want to see you sacrifice yourself for me, if that's the case then it's not love, it's just satisfying your own desires."

Then she stood up. Although she was not as tall as Jun Mogami, she made him feel like he was being looked down upon at that moment.

"Thank you..." She suddenly spread out her hands and hugged Jun Mogami.
