If I don't capture the girl, I will die

That's indeed true.

Even though she wouldn't say it, Eriri clearly agreed with Kato Megumi's words. It would be strange if he wasn't popular right now.

But it is precisely because of this that Kasumigaoka Utaha feels annoyed.

"Well, that... Senior, I'm sorry for calling you out in such an abrupt way. I'm really, really sorry! But I... I have something I want to tell you in person no matter what! I don't think writing a letter can convey my true feelings!"

In the sight of the three girls who were observing secretly, the girl on the balcony suddenly bowed ninety degrees.

Her tone was also a little stuttering.

Even though they couldn't see her expression from this angle, they could still imagine the girl's nervous look and blushing face.

The evening breeze blows on your cheeks, bringing bursts of warmth.

Ji Qi, who was facing this for the first time in his past and present life, scratched his head, feeling a little at a loss.

After organizing his words, he confirmed that this was a confession and said slowly, "It's okay, junior. Just say whatever you want to say."

Having said that, he was already prepared to refuse in his heart.

How should I put it? Although the girl in front of him looked petite and cute, and had long straight black hair, which was his favorite, this was the best approach no matter how he considered it.

She is only in the first year of high school, right? It is a bit too early for her to pursue her own feelings at this age.

Feelings at this stage have no basis whatsoever.

Feelings come out of nowhere. For example, he still doesn't know why the girl likes him. Is it because of his face? Or his academic performance? Until now, he still can't figure it out.

If that's true, then she doesn't understand herself, does she?

It is true that external conditions are a major criterion for evaluating a person. However, apart from this, whether it is hobbies, personality, or anything else, she has no understanding of herself or each other.

This kind of liking is too impetuous.

You may fall in love with him for inexplicable reasons, or you may find that he is different from what you imagined and your enthusiasm for him fades.

It’s all impossible to tell.

This is a privilege unique to this stage.

It is also called 'youth'.

So, just reject it cleanly.

You cannot have an unclear attitude.

Can't delay.

Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.

This is good for both parties.

Now that she was rejected, the girl would be sad for a short while at most, and she would forget about it completely soon. If you say how deep her feelings are, Ji Qi would never believe it. How could they have such deep feelings when they didn't even have any contact?

And if you have feelings for someone, you should do that.

Having made a mistake once, he will not make the same mistake again.

After planning everything in his mind, Ji Qi looked back at the girl who had returned to her normal standing position, her fingers twisted together nervously, and her face flushed. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, but she didn't waver at all.

Honestly, this girl who is only as tall as his shoulders is really cute...

He felt a little regretful.

"Hey, hey, why am I so nervous for no reason?" Watching the current situation from outside the security door that was about one-third open, Eriri swallowed nervously.

Probably the whole school couldn't imagine that Eriri Sawamura and Utaha Kasumigaoka would come to spy on such gossip.

"Shut up."

Holding her breath and staring intently, Kasumigaoka Utaha replied casually.

Now comes the highlight.

The girl looked blushing and hesitant to speak, as if she felt it was not a good idea to leave others here, and finally made up her mind.

The air seemed to freeze.

Under the different gazes of several people, the girl opened her cherry lips slightly and said with a slight tremor in her voice:

"Senior Ji Qi, I called you here to express my feelings to you. I wanted to tell you this a year ago. It's my fault that I didn't notice you at that time. This is the first time I miss someone so much in a year... Some time ago, when I learned that I was in the same high school as you, I was really happy! So, so... I really appreciate your help a year ago! Thank you!"

"Sorry, I have a girlfriend...huh?"

Chapter 280: End of the Event and Spectator Mode

"what?"

"what?"

"Does the senior have a girlfriend?"

At the same time, three more voices blurted out uncontrollably, sounding very bewildered. Fortunately, the two parties on the rooftop were also in a state of shock and had not yet discovered them.

This is totally different from what I imagined!

But Kato Megumi, it seems like you're focusing on the wrong thing, right?

Is now the time to care about this?

Well, this information that I heard inadvertently seems to be equally worthy of attention.

As for Ji Qi...

"Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

His smile faltered.

After all this fuss, it turns out it was just a misunderstanding?

so awkward.

Super embarrassing.

I was so embarrassed that I wanted to die.

He should just go and die!

But Ji Qi came back to his senses and glanced helplessly at the girl in front of him who bowed to him again, not knowing what to say.

To be honest, this can't be blamed on him, right?

Any normal, even abnormal man, would think about that when he hears these hints one after another, right? It's an important matter, it's a token of affection, and she's putting on that extremely shy expression... It's better to say that not thinking about it is a strange personality.

It has nothing to do with love brain!

After comforting himself in his heart, Ji Qi felt much better.

What about the help he gave her a year ago? What did he do to help her?

Ji Qi recalled his memories. His previous life was also very monotonous. The girl in front of him had a pretty face and a petite figure. She was a very eye-catching type. If the two of them had any intersection or if something big happened, he should be able to remember it quickly.

no result.

The girl, who had created the perfect confession atmosphere from the very beginning, looked at the tall figure in front of her, who she didn't know whether to be a man or a boy, and blinked in confusion, seemingly not yet coming to her senses.

What did the senior mean?

He has a girlfriend...

The girl clenched one hand into a small fist and hit the other open palm.

Very cute.

"Senior, congratulations on finding a girlfriend!"

So you must have made a mistake...

Ji Qi held his forehead with his hand. This girl’s personality was really... unique.

Are there really people with such strange personalities in real life?

Could it be another character that traveled from the second dimension? Thinking of this possibility, Ji Qi felt relieved.

Ji Qi scratched his face in self-mockery and said, "It's okay, I was overthinking it. I thought you were confessing your love."

"Confess...? I'm telling you, Senpai..."

The girl, who seemed very fragile, heard this word and thought about Ji Qi's strange behavior all along, and she immediately understood everything.

The blush that had just faded away reappeared on her face.

It doesn't seem like he lacks common sense. It's just...

Your reaction time is too long!

The four people present couldn't help but complain in their hearts.

Strange girl.

I'm so tired, so alone

Ji Qi labeled her.

"Uh... I'm so sorry to disappoint you, senior! Although I have a good impression of you, I think it's too hasty to confess my feelings or even go out with you..." The girl pinched the corner of her clothes, and although she was shy enough, she still bravely expressed her thoughts.

"It's okay. I just overthink it." Ji Qi smiled carefreely, and after the embarrassment, he didn't pay too much attention to the matter. The development of this misunderstanding was still within his acceptable range.

"Compared to this, I can't quite remember what I helped you with. Can you tell me more specifically?"

Ji Qi didn't feel guilty about forgetting to help the girl. The girl's impression of him declined because of this. Anyway, he really couldn't remember it. And he was curious about the story between the two. You know what he was like before, and there were no more than two hands in Japan who could remember him. The girl could miss him in her heart for a year, even if she couldn't remember his face, it was already super amazing.

Is this considered to be on the level of Hachiko?

"Maybe for Senior Ji Qi, that incident was nothing, but to me at that time, it was really important. So I am really ashamed that I delayed thanking you until today. It's all my fault that I couldn't find you and forgot what your face looked like when I turned around..." The conversation between the two was subtly not on the same channel. Obviously, the girl misunderstood again.

No, this is not actually your fault.

This is the will of the universe. Not to mention you, even someone with twice the memory wouldn't be able to remember him!

Ji Qi secretly complained in his heart. Of course, he would not say this out loud. Because the girl might not believe it. After all, the girl had little contact with him, so she would just take the blame on herself.

a year ago?

The three girls who were huddled together to watch the development of the situation were also curious. After hearing what was said just now, Kasumigaoka Utaha was completely relieved. For some reason, Eriri also had a feeling of confusion.

To be exact, except for Kasumigaoka Utaha, both Kato Megumi and Eriri knew Hime Nana before she traveled through time.

Naturally, I also know his condition.

This girl, maybe she can be used...

"Well, it happened a year ago at the Summer Comic Exhibition. It seems like less than a year ago? I was wearing a cosplay costume and cooperating with others to take pictures. It was fine at first, but later on, there were some weird and disgusting uncles who asked me to pose in various positions and took pictures secretly... When I didn't know what to do, fortunately, my senior helped me and even sent me outside the exhibition..."

The girl clasped her hands together, and a fearful, yet warm and shy smile appeared on her face as she recalled the scene.

She still can't forget the other party's handsome lines and dazzling figure...

As for the others?

I can’t remember!

So that’s it?

She described it in such detail that Ji Qi, who had locked on to his target, naturally remembered it quickly.

This is indeed the case.

That day, the girl was wearing a cute cosplay costume, a wig and makeup. She was not as tall as she is now, and looked like a loli... No wonder he couldn't recognize her.

After figuring out the whole story, Ji Qi felt completely relieved.

This proves that he didn't help the wrong person at the time, even though it wasn't a big deal at all...

It is because of people like this that so-called "otakus" are misunderstood!

After hearing just a few words, Ying Lili bit her little canine teeth. She sometimes saw similar situations when she often went to comic conventions in Qiaozhuang.

Under the guise of photography, he was doing something bad to the girls who were doing cosplay. It was so disgusting!

She took out her resentment for having to hide her hobbies since she was a child on these people...
