"Is it fun to point fingers at other people's lives without permission? Do you think it's glorious to destroy other people's ideals? Don't think of yourself as a hero. This kind of self-indulgence is really annoying."

170, Command

"Sit down right now and listen to me!"

Jun Mogami said to Mayu in an unquestionable tone.

Although he often treated others with an overbearing attitude, even he rarely gave orders to others. He was a little angry now.

Jun Mogami's words made Mayu so angry that her body was shaking. She glared at Jun Mogami hatefully, but did not move.

"If you don't listen to me, I will get more money than you and destroy your dreams." This threat coming from a high school student was not very convincing, but now she was really shaken.

Maybe he could do it.

Jun Mogami didn't say anything else, but continued to look at Mayu calmly, waiting for her to make the right decision.

Sure enough, after a moment, Zhenyou finally stopped hesitating, slowly walked back to him and sat down again.

"It seems that you are determined to stop me?"

"I just want to stop your agreement with the association. Don't you understand yet? This kind of transaction is seriously unfair to you. If you win, they will lose nothing. If you lose, you will be burdened with huge debts. How are you going to end it then? Let your parents fill up your debts? Or what else are you going to do? You should consider the consequences of everything..." Mogami Jun whispered to Mayu.

"I know what I'm doing. I understand what you said. It's because I understand that I'm like this now..." Zhenyou smiled bitterly, "Please don't treat me as an ignorant child. I made up my mind at the end, so please respect my free will, okay?"

"Since you said we are friends, I'm sorry I can't agree to stand aside and watch." Mogami Jun shook his head, "I'm not the kind of person who would not lend a hand to a friend who is about to jump into the abyss."

"No matter what my future holds, it is a decision I made under my own will. I am responsible for everything I do... just like you at that time. Did you care about other people's interference when you decided to fight Hyoudou Takako?" Takasaki Mayu asked angrily, "Do you think that only you can do what you want, and others can't?"

"Isn't that the truth? Sorry, not everyone in the world is the same. Some people are suitable for some things, and some are not." Mogami Jun spread his hands, "Don't think that you will get the same result if you follow what others do. If it's not suitable, it's not suitable. At least you haven't shown the ability to do it yet, right?"

Perhaps because he felt that his words were a bit harsh, Mogami Jun slowed down his tone a little, "Judging from your makeup, you often can't sleep recently, right? Have you woken up from a nightmare in the middle of the night? Sometimes you are afraid that you have made the wrong decision, right?! You must be, but when I make a decision, I sleep very well and sleep until dawn. Isn't this the difference in self-confidence? If you don't even believe in yourself 100%, then why put yourself on the gambling table?! This is completely playing a joke on fate, and you will definitely be punished!"

Under the continuous barrage of words from Mogami Jun, Mayu's face became paler and paler.

She knew that what Mogami Jun said was right, and she also knew that what he said made sense.

But sometimes, people don’t survive by “truth”.

"That's enough... I don't know if you're saying this for my own good or to show off your abilities. I'll just assume you're doing this for my own good. Thank you, but that's enough. I've come this far. Do you think I'll give up just because of someone else's words?" Takasaki Mayu smiled bitterly and shook her head. "No, I won't... Maybe I can't learn a lot from you, but this is the only thing I can learn from you."

"There is no point in being stubborn, and don't you realize that? I'm not asking you to stop, I'm ordering you—" Mogami Jun still looked at the other party, with no intention of backing down, "If you don't listen to me, I will do what I just said, and then you will definitely not win, and in the end you will lose in vain and be burdened with huge debts. Do you think this is a good idea?"

Such a direct threat made Mayu's anger rise again. She blushed and glared at Mogami Jun.

She knew that if the boy opposite her really did this, his threat would most likely become a reality, and that would mean that everything she had done would lose its meaning and what she had pursued would become a bubble.

Who... who can accept this kind of result!

The huge feeling of frustration and disillusionment made it almost impossible for her to sit down. She had to use her hands to support the table to prevent herself from falling to the ground in an ugly manner.

"You... why are you doing this? Is it fun to point fingers at other people's lives without permission? Is it glorious for you to destroy other people's ideals? Don't think of yourself as a hero. This kind of self-indulgence is really annoying! Why do you treat me like this? Is it because I did something wrong to you in the past? Okay, maybe I did, but now I haven't provoked you at all, nor have I made you angry, right? I sincerely treat you as a friend, but what about you? You threaten me, humiliate me, and shatter my dreams without permission... Why do you treat me like this?"

Maybe she felt too aggrieved, or maybe it brought up the depression that had been suppressed in her heart recently, as Zhenyou spoke, her eyes suddenly turned red, and then she shed tears and began to sob.

"Don't I respect you enough? Don't I really try to please you? Don't I consider you a friend? Tell me, why? Can you say it? Do you think I will thank you if you say some sarcastic words in a condescending manner? I... Woo... I hate you... Woo..."

When she finished speaking, she could no longer speak and began to sob.

A handkerchief was handed over.

Zhenyou wanted to refuse, but her heart, which was broken into pieces at this moment, couldn't help but pull up the handkerchief. The white handkerchief gently wiped her face, and finally she calmed down a little.

She looked at Mogami Jun again and threw the handkerchief back. All her words were summed up in one sentence, "You bully me! You bullied me in the past, and you are still bullying me now. You have always bullied me! You just like bullying me!"

"Did you vent your anger enough, Yuzu-chan?" After a long silence, Mogami Jun finally spoke again, "I don't deny your accusations. It's true that I have been a little harsh on you all along. I was wrong in this regard, and I can apologize to you. However, this time I didn't do it to bully you. On the contrary, I did it with complete kindness towards you. You can not understand me, you can hate me, I can understand and accept it - but even so, I still won't take back my words."

Urged by Zhenyou's tears, his tone became much softer, but his will did not weaken at all.

Because it can't be loosened at all.

"This is not a request, this is an order. I know you will just ignore my request, so I can only use threats to deal with you. I'm sorry."

"You..." Zhenyou bit her lip. "Well, whatever you do, I won't give up. If I give up, everything I've done so far will be in vain. What's the point of everything I've done in the past few years? Don't you understand what I've been betting on so far? If you understand, you'll know that I won't surrender. Even you - even you, can't drag me away."

No matter what, we have to keep going, because we have paid too much so far and we must not let everything become meaningless.

She has already made such an awareness.

"You may have misunderstood. I only ordered you not to accept their agreement. I didn't ask you to give up your dream... As for that aspect, we can still think of other ways. Why do we have to take the most risky path?" Mogami Jun put the wet handkerchief back into his trouser pocket and looked at Mayu again.

"Isn't it just cheering? Who wouldn't do it? I am also a fan of Yuzu-chan today. There is still time. As long as we work together, although we can't guarantee victory 100%, there is at least hope, right?"

"You...you..." Zhenyou was confused by these sudden words and was so surprised that she couldn't speak.

"You want to help me with the election?" she asked incredulously after a moment. "You're not interested in this."

"That's right. Actually, I'm still not that interested in it right now, but... since it's just a game about money, then it's no different from any other activity, right?" Mogami Jun smiled. "Although it seems ridiculous to raise money to buy CDs and collect handshake tickets, there is always a way to do it if you want to do it. Since I can support others, then of course I can support you--"

"Really?" Zhenyou still looked a little unconvinced, "You're on my side?"

"I've been on your side for a long time." Mogami Jun spread his hands. "Of course, I don't support you for nothing. You also have to make corresponding preparations... Well, probably the same as your preparation for the agreement, right?"

"To that extent?" Zhenyou took a breath.

"What? What kind of terrible realization have you made?" Now it was Jun Mogami's turn to be surprised.

"I'm not afraid of death. If I have to face the shame of losing and be burdened with debts while alive, I might as well just die." Zhenyou answered seriously.

"Well, I won't let you die no matter what." Mogami Jun smiled bitterly.

Takasaki Mayu was silent.

Shock and joy stirred her brain at the same time, making her thinking a little dull.

"Then...why did you do this?"

"What other reason could there be? Of course it's because you're pretty and cute." Mogami Jun answered as a matter of course. "Secondly, we're probably friends, so supporting a friend isn't a big deal."

Zhenyou, who was originally full of expectations, suddenly wilted as if he was poured with a basin of cold water.

"Can't you say something else to make people happy?!" She sighed softly. "How shallow!"

"Then what do you think I should say? Would you believe me if I said something else? Besides, if liking pretty and cute girls is superficial, then I think it's best for me to be superficial for the rest of my life." Mogami Jun was not embarrassed at all. "Besides, isn't it enough to make you happy when you're praised for being beautiful?"

"That makes sense... I really only have these few good points." Zhenyou lowered her head, sighed, and then forced a smile, "But can't you just lie to me?"

"Then how do you want me to lie to you?" Mogami Jun asked back.

"For example, you like my personality, like my smile, and you are happy when you play with me..." Mayu answered reluctantly.

"Well, I like your personality, your smile, and I am happy when I play with you—" Mogami Jun answered without hesitation, "Are you satisfied? If not, I can say it again."

"Stop!" Zhenyou waved her hand, "Okay... don't lie to me, it's really creepy to hear that."

Then, there was silence between the two again, and Mayu fell into deep thought.

"So you're going to help me, right? Do your best? And don't regret it?"

Mogami Jun just nodded.

"Are you confident?" Zhenyou asked cautiously.

"Isn't it much bigger than when you came alone?" Mogami Jun asked back, "Then the question now changes to another aspect. Are you willing to face the world alone, or are you willing to come with me? And if we really lose, it is the result of our hard work. Just accept it silently. It is better than becoming a puppet manipulated by the association, right?"

"You asked such a tricky question..." Zhenyou's face turned slightly red, and the tears in the corners of her eyes had long since disappeared. "If I had known that you could stand by my side..."

She stopped.

Then, she looked at Mogami Jun again, "Even if I succeed, I will still owe you a huge favor, right? And I will still be manipulated by you... So, what are you going to do? You can't have no intentions towards me!"

"Well, I haven't thought it through yet in such a hurry." Jun Mogami picked up the remaining half cup of milk tea next to him and drank it all in one gulp.

It seems too hurtful to say sorry at this time that I actually have no intentions towards you... and Jun Mogami himself is not that kind of saint.

After thinking for a while, he spoke again. "Like singing to me when I want to listen to music? Or wearing white stockings and letting me pinch them whenever I want?"

Mogami Jun just asked casually, but Mayu was shocked.

"what?"

Mayu looked at him as if he were a pervert, with an expression as if there were so many things to complain about that she didn't know how to complain about them.

"Why white?" she asked finally, dryly.

Mogami Jun glanced down from the corner of his eye and saw Mayu, as if she had been electrocuted, and she immediately pulled her feet under the table.

He could only sigh regretfully.

Actually, he was just joking.

But he found Mayu's reaction quite amusing, so he tried to answer seriously.

"Because from what I can tell, white should suit you well."

Then he couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing.

171, Return

Mogami Jun's evil laughter made Mayu feel both shy and angry.

Such inexplicable conditions are really unbearable.

"Pervert!" She couldn't help but curse again.

Although he was scolded, looking at Mayu's expression, Mogami Jun found it quite interesting and did not feel humiliated by being scolded.

"Then is there anything else you want me to do that is not perverted?" he asked with a smile.

"...Gu." Zhenyou was choked and couldn't speak, and her face became redder and redder.

After a long moment, she forced a glare at Jun Mogami to dispel the blush on her face, "Okay, I get it."

"Is it just knowing? Then how do you decide?" Mogami Jun pressed on, "I need a result."

"How can I decide now? You suddenly came over here and acted great, and gave me a long lecture, which messed up my mind and now even my makeup is messed up..." Zhenyou complained while wiping the remaining tears from the corners of her eyes with her hands, "You should at least give me some time to think about it, right?"

"In my opinion, there is nothing to consider. On one side is the abyss and on the other side is a friend. Even a fool should know how to choose, right?" Mogami Jun still refused to give in. "Are you born to love adventure?"

"But..." Zhenyou was still a little hesitant.

"There's no buts. I'm not interested in stalking a female classmate every day. I specifically found you today not to hear you say 'but', nor to give you time to think about it." Mogami Jun interrupted her impatiently, "Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude to you, and I didn't mean to undermine your self-confidence. I just want you to make the right choice as quickly as possible to avoid further losses."

"It's too arrogant for you to define what is right for me, isn't it?" Zhenyou replied somewhat unconvinced.

"That's right, I'm not always right, but at least in this matter I know I'm right. Since I know I did nothing wrong, I have the absolute confidence to stick to it to the end. Nothing you say will help." Mogami Jun looked at Mayu calmly, "I need an answer now, tell me!"

Mogami Jun knew that he had to dispel any hesitation of Mayu now, so he could only press on step by step and leave no room for him.

If he didn't harden his heart now, it would be troublesome if something unpredictable happened again - so he didn't make any concessions and insisted that Zhenyou give in now.

Under Jun Mogami's gaze, Mayu felt more and more uneasy. She avoided his gaze, but could not get rid of the pressure that followed.

In fact, she knew in her heart that what was before her was not a multiple-choice question - this bastard was best at threatening others and forcing them into a place where they had nowhere to escape.

If I agree, I don’t know what the future will be like, but if I don’t agree, maybe there will be no future at all.

She was very unwilling, but more importantly, she felt helpless about the current situation.

And a little bit of relief—a relief she absolutely didn't want to admit.

Are you finally on my side?

"It's no use for you to keep hanging your head. Since you have the courage to deal with the association, don't you have the courage to face someone around you?" Mogami Jun urged, "Are you so unwilling to stand by my side?"

"Okay... okay! I get it! You're so nagging!" Zhenyou shook her head suddenly, and her hair fluttered with it. "I'll listen to you, I'll listen to you, is this okay?!"

Then she stood up suddenly, walked to Jun Mogami aggressively, grabbed his shoulders with both hands and shook him violently.

"Are you happy now? You came to me without permission and asked me to obey you... What are you doing? Are you playing the villain or the hero? You keep hitting me... bullying me... Does this make you happy?"

Mogami Jun knew that Mayu was extremely depressed and needed some way to vent, so he didn't do anything and just let her vent.

A partial victory has already been achieved, so naturally the losers can vent their anger.

When Zhenyou stopped shaking his body, Mogami Jun finally spoke, "I also hate to be someone's savior, and I don't want to bear some inexplicable responsibilities, but I still don't want to see you destroy yourself, so I want to do something. Maybe I am indeed arrogant and don't take your thoughts into consideration, but at least at this moment I firmly believe that I am right, so I will do it to the end... Well, that's all I have to say. Have a good rest today, Yuzu-chan. I'm really sorry for making you so unhappy today."

But Mayu didn't let go of her hand and continued to hold Jun Mogami's shoulders.

After a moment, she suddenly seemed to lose her strength and fell directly on Jun Mogami's shoulders. Jun Mogami was caught off guard and could only subconsciously hold onto Mayu's slender waist.

“Jun-chan, Yu-chan agreed to you, not because of your threat, but because I believe in you. In Yu-chan’s eyes, you are really amazing. I don’t know if this is an illusion caused by admiration or if it is really the case… At least now, Yu-chan believes that you can fulfill your promise and help Yu-chan realize her wish. Yu-chan is willing to do everything she can to repay you, including… including those slightly perverted requests of yours.” Zhen Yu rested her head on Mogami Jun’s shoulder, closed her eyes and whispered softly, “So, please, don’t let Yu-chan down… Don’t let Yu-chan lose everything she cherishes at the same time, lose her ideals and the signpost in her heart. One disappointment is terrible enough, and double disappointment is really something Yu-chan can’t handle…”
