Asana's words were almost unreasonable, which was totally unlike her usual self.
But in the current environment, Jun Mogami could understand her feelings.
I broke up with my parents and was isolated and helpless. I thought my companions would always support me, but suddenly they came to me and told me to treat my parents as criminals and to use evidence against them to threaten them to let me go...
No matter how you look at it, the impact of all this is too great for the inexperienced Izumo Asana.
Now is a critical moment. Asana herself may not know where to go and is wavering and confused. What she needs now is not the cold reality, but some warm comfort.
So, what's the reason not to give it to her?
But there is still a problem...
"I'm happy to comfort you, Asana, but I... I'm not very good at comforting others. How do you want me to comfort you?" Mogami Jun asked embarrassedly.
Asana suddenly grabbed his arms, looking a little amused.
"You can comfort me however you want!"
Ok……
Jun Mogami took a deep breath and used this time to organize his words.
"Asana, I have always admired you very much. You are very talented and very cute. What's more valuable is that even though you have so many advantages that others envy, you don't become arrogant. Instead, you humbly respect everyone, listen to others' opinions, and carefully take care of others' emotions and feelings. I can be sure that no one will hate you. It is precisely because you are such a likable person that I am determined to do everything I can to help you. I don't want to see such a bright pearl like you disappear into the dust because of the boring ideas of the previous generation. Asana, only at this moment, please put aside your humility, face up to your own preciousness, and then make up your mind to protect yourself!"
After saying such a long string of corny compliments, Jun Mogami himself blushed in embarrassment, but he still said it out loud.
Hahaha, it turns out I have a talent for flattery... he thought to himself.
However, most of these words were what he really thought, so he didn't feel guilty about them.
"I... am very talented?" Asana asked timidly from behind.
"Yes, you are very talented. I have seen your calligraphy works with my own eyes. Of course, you cannot compare with the best and most advanced people, but even so, you are far better than others. This is the result of your hard work. Also, you can play tennis and your skills are very strong. I have also seen this with my own eyes, and I can guarantee it. In these two areas alone, you have achieved achievements that surpass ordinary people. Isn't this talent? Maybe you have other abilities that I haven't seen yet. I might be surprised when the time comes..."
"I'm not that great..." Asana felt a little embarrassed by such compliments.
Then she asked again.
"Am I...beautiful?"
"You are very beautiful. Everyone who sees you praises you highly. My mother, who is so picky, also admired you very much after meeting you for the first time. That's why she wants to help you so actively—" Mogami Jun answered without hesitation.
When Jun Mogami brought up his own mother, Asana found it convincing.
"Is my personality also likable?" she then asked.
"Need I say that? Just think about it. Are you popular? Do people like to be with you? I've never seen anyone hate you. So many people are willing to help you this time. Isn't it because they like you?" Mogami Jun couldn't help laughing. "You are talented but not arrogant. You are gentle and humble to others. Sometimes you are a little confused and humorous. Who wouldn't like you?"
After a pause, he added, "Even when he suddenly hugged me for comfort, it was so cute."
"You...you are mocking me again!" Asana couldn't help blushing. She finally realized how inappropriate her behavior was, so she finally let go of her hand.
"I... just don't understand what everyone is thinking sometimes. How can you say that I'm confused and humorous!" Then she protested softly.
Jun Mogami turned around and looked at her embarrassed and shy appearance, and couldn't help laughing.
When he laughed, Asana protested at first, but soon joined in the laughter.
As she laughed, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly and she suddenly started sobbing softly.
"Asana, what's wrong?" Mogami Jun asked quickly. "Did I say something wrong?"
"No, you didn't say anything wrong. On the contrary, I'm very grateful that you comforted me... Although I don't know how much of what you said was sincere and how much of it was because you felt sorry for me, but no matter which one it was, I'm very happy..." Asana raised her face, tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, and then she smiled slightly, "You must be wondering why I care so much about other people's praise, because actually I lack this kind of thing... Since I was a child, I have been taught to be humble and cautious, to study grammar and skills seriously, to have good character, and not to damage the reputation of the Izumo family. I have always done so, working hard and doing my best in everything I do, but no matter what I have done, Mom just thinks that these are not enough, not enough... So sometimes I doubt that I have no strengths at all..."
She bit her lip, snorted twice, and then continued, "After I went to school, I realized that I wasn't as bad as I thought, but so what? There will always be people standing ahead of me, and my mother has never been truly satisfied. Sometimes I think that I may not be her ideal daughter, and I will never be able to achieve the level she wants me to achieve. But I have tried my best, I really have tried my best... Why can't you praise me? Am I really that unsatisfactory?!"
Asana seemed to be asking herself, but also seemed to be asking someone else.
Mogami Jun didn't answer.
At this moment, he remembered the first time they met, when Asana followed Mrs. Izumo and walked towards him step by step.
It's very beautiful, but it doesn't seem to be very popular, it's just like a doll.
Perhaps, it is because she has been given so much pressure since she was a child, so she has become accustomed to acting like that in front of her mother.
Only later when she was with her classmates did she seem much more normal.
"Please don't misunderstand me. I don't hate mother. I still respect her very much. I'm just... just a little tired." Asana sighed. "Remember I told you last time that I secretly changed the lot you and I drew, and said in front of mother that we both drew good luck. In fact... it's not that I fell in love with you at first sight. I'm just really tired and want to escape from it all. Even if the price I pay may be very heavy, I want to give it a try. It just so happened that the person I saw that day was quite pleasing to the eye. Although he looked a little cold, he was still considerate. So I thought, why not just stop wasting time and just let it go... so I did it. I'm sorry, my willful behavior that time must have caused you trouble..."
Ah, that’s it.
Jun Mogami finally understood.
Although he has always been very proud, he certainly doesn't think that he can make Asana fall in love with her at first sight when they meet for the first time, nor does he think that Asana would be a casual person.
Really, I'm just tired and want to escape. This feeling is so urgent that I almost treat my lifelong happiness as a joke.
Fortunately, she met me at that time, otherwise who knows what the consequences would be... Jun Mogami thought to himself.
"Don't be sorry, it's no trouble to me at all, I'm even happy about it."
Then he reached out and stroked Asana's hair.
Asana did not resist, but just wiped her tears with her sleeve.
The two of them stood there quietly for a while.
"Did my comforting you succeed?" Jun Mogami asked in a low voice after an unknown amount of time.
"No, it's not heartwarming at all. You really don't know how to comfort people." Asana shook her head.
"Eh...?" Mogami Jun was a little disappointed.
Did Asana decide to stop here?
"...But I think what you said makes sense." At this moment, Asana suddenly changed the subject, "There's nothing we can do. Now that things have come to this, we can only face reality. I don't want to be a daughter who is useless in front of my mother anymore. I'm really tired... Maybe doing this will cost a lot, but is there anything that doesn't require a price?"
Upon hearing what Asana said, Mogami Jun was overjoyed.
"That means……"
"Wait!" Asana stopped Mogami Jun from talking. "No matter what, I am still a child of the Izumo family. I will never allow myself to tarnish the name of the Izumo family, even if I die. So... I won't allow you to publish the evidence at will, okay? I... I will just negotiate with my mother in person."
"I can totally understand this, and that's exactly what I was planning to do." Mogami Jun agreed immediately.
"Can you guarantee it for your family? Your parents, your grandfather... any one of them might leak the secret..." Asana was still a little hesitant.
"I absolutely guarantee that they won't do that." Mogami Jun answered firmly, "If anyone does that, I will stop them even if I risk my life. I guarantee it with my reputation."
"Okay... I believe you... Even though this is just a verbal promise, I believe you anyway." Asana nodded heavily, "I am entrusting my family's reputation, and perhaps even my life, to you. Please... please understand the weight of this 'trust'..."
"I know." Jun Mogami nodded.

Then he asked, "That means... continue, right?"
Asana's breathing became rapid, and after taking several deep breaths, she nodded.
"Yes, just keep going like this, and then tell me the evidence you find... I will also find a way to cooperate with you. However, this is limited to you. I don't trust others, so don't tell anyone. We can just contact each other privately."
"Okay, no problem." Mogami Jun smiled triumphantly, "Then wait for my good news!"
Then he looked up at the sky.
It's really late at night.
"Okay, let's call it a day today. You go back and rest first. I should go back too." He said goodbye again.
"Well... I have one last request, can you agree to it?" Asana asked suddenly.
"Ah? What request?" Mogami Jun was a little surprised.
QQ: 8-9-10/
"Hold... hold... hold me back." Asana was almost unable to say it, but finally said it out loud. "I... my legs are a little weak, I can't walk anymore."
… … Jun Mogami was stunned and did not move.
Asana's face felt so hot that it seemed to be burning, and she lowered her knees slightly, as if she was saluting.
"I will be willful just once today, so can you let me be willful to the end?" Then, she whispered, "Princess, please be considerate of this poor and humble maid..."
"Uh... please don't bring this up anymore, okay..." Mogami Jun couldn't help but hold his forehead. "It's really embarrassing for me."

"Then..." Asana wanted to say something else. "Ah...!"
Jun Mogami suddenly bent down and picked her up.
Then, he held Asana in his arms and walked towards her school gate step by step.
There are people waiting there, and maybe I will be laughed at... But it doesn’t matter, this is not important.
Asana's body stiffened at first, then quickly began to tremble, but in the end, she narrowed her eyes slightly, as if adapting to the other person's pace, watching herself move towards the goal little by little.
She got the courage she wanted.

At Asana's request, Mogami Jun had no choice but to pick her up and walk towards the school gate.
Of course, it is not necessarily the case that he has to do this. Who would not be happy to do this? Anyway, he is happy to do it.
He understood why Asana suddenly did something so willful and out of character.
She was already in a difficult situation, and then tonight she heard the news that Jun Mogami said. She suffered a severe mental blow and her psychological defenses were almost broken. So at this time, she was extremely eager for help from the outside world and wanted to find some sense of security.
Simply put, Asana tonight is not the usual Asana, she is in a "supercritical" state.
In this case, he was also happy to give Asana a sense of security.
No matter how fragile this sense of security is, this is the help he can provide.
Asana lay horizontally in Jun Mogami's arms, holding his shoulders, her eyes fixed on the ground because of shyness, but the faint fragrance kept lingering around Jun Mogami, making his heart flutter.
Under the quiet black sky, the young man held the girl in his arms and walked forward with steady steps. No one spoke, as if they wanted to enjoy the rare tranquility.
It would actually be quite comfortable if we could keep walking like this... Jun Mogami couldn't help but have some fantasies.
"Cough." At this moment, a light cough was heard behind them.
Mogami Jun's fantasy had to be shattered, and he came back to his senses.
By the way, mom is still here!
When I was talking to Asana just now, we were so excited that we both forgot this fact.
Doesn't that mean that mom has seen it...
Jun Mogami suddenly felt a little embarrassed and had to stop. He didn't know whether he should put Asana down or what to do.
As his movements became stiff, Asana suddenly realized that Jun Mogami's mother was also present tonight.
She froze for a moment. Although her face was already red and couldn't get any redder, her body began to shake violently, like a koi that had just been fished out of the water.
"Ah, don't be nervous, it's okay, keep going, keep going." Mogami Sayuki followed slowly from behind, waving her hands with interest, looking at the two people with a smile, "Isn't this good?"
Although she said so, Asana felt even more ashamed and could not control herself. In panic, she grabbed Mogami Jun's hand and finally made him let her go.
"I'm sorry..." After landing, she hurriedly bowed deeply to Mogami Sayuki to apologize, "Auntie, I... I just... just..."
She wanted to explain, fearing that she would leave the impression of being "willful" or "frivolous" in the other person's eyes, which would affect their future interactions. However, she could not find any reason to explain her ridiculous behavior for a moment, so as she spoke, she could only stammer, lower her head, and apologize in shame.
Although the education she received since childhood was very complete, it never included explaining why she was lying in someone else's arms.
"Hey, what do you have to apologize for? Isn't it normal for children to like playing?" Mogami Sayuki couldn't help laughing and comforted Asana, "If I hadn't come all the way back tonight and had to say hello to you, I wouldn't have the heart to disturb you."
With the comfort of Mogami Sayuki, Asana finally breathed a sigh of relief, but the feeling of shame could not be shaken off, and she could only blush and be speechless.
Chun carried himself back. It was one thing for his classmates and seniors to see him, but it was another thing for his mother to see him...
How could I forget such an important thing?! How could I make such a ridiculous request?! She was always upset in her heart.
But if she didn't say something now, it would be even more rude, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and respectfully thank Mogami Sayuki.
"Auntie, thank you for coming to visit me tonight. I will never forget the help you and Chun have given me. If there is any chance to repay your kindness, please let me know and I will do my best to do it..."
"Don't be so formal. After all, you are my destiny junior. Now that you are in trouble, how can I just stand by and watch?" Mogami Sayuki was still smiling, giving off a reassuring aura. "Besides, weren't you just giving back? I saw that Jun seemed very happy too..."
"Mom!" Jun Mogami finally couldn't help but interrupt her.
He saw that his mother was obviously aroused by seeing how intimate he and Asana were just now. He was afraid that she would say something to embarrass Asana, so he decided to get the topic back on track.
