"Yeah, I know, so I'll just make myself your girlfriend."

"Are you acting strange?"

"Is something wrong? I want you, is there a problem?"

That's a big problem. Don't you know how many girlfriends I have?

Nomiyama opened his mouth.

Mai Sakurajima was too lazy to listen to his pointless chatter: "Do you like me or not? That's enough to answer."

"Since I'm late, since I can't go back to the past, since I can't let you go, since I want you, then all I want is that thing."

"Do you like me, Nomiyama Kazehaya?"

Nomiyama's mind was actually in a state of confusion for a while.

His ability to perceive emotions is actually not fast enough. Emotions are not like logical things that he can deduce; they are something that can be vaguely sensed, but whose subsequent development cannot be judged.

Human thoughts are changeable, which also means that emotions are changeable.

He could speculate on the general probability, but he could never be certain; probability is an almost infinite word.

He thought that Mai-senpai would join the Service Club, but then he thought that they would calm down and suppress their teenage thoughts. Mai-senpai had seen firsthand how much trouble he was in, and his logic told him that there was no reason for anything to happen at this time.

But an accident is an accident; it's something you can't predict.

Nomiyama thought about his girlfriends, then lowered his head and hugged her.

At least, at least, they couldn't beat themselves into immobility or dismember themselves, thus avoiding the worst possible outcome.

As for the rest, we'll just have to put up with it.

"like."

“Then there’s no problem. From now on, we’re boyfriend and girlfriend.” Mai Sakurajima chuckled.

Now that you've acknowledged it, it means you can't let me go.

I'm fine now, because all the problems are on your side.

"This is so troublesome, senior. I'm going to get beaten to death by Yukinoshita and Megumi later." Nomiyama was worried about her future.

"It's okay, I'm here, it's two against two, we don't really lose." Mai Sakurajima smiled as she thought of her two friends.

"You make it sound so easy, but I'm the one who's going to get beaten up..."

"What can I do, boyfriend? Just bear with it a little longer?"

"Ugh...this is so troublesome..."

"What? Am I causing you trouble?"

"No, I was just thinking..."

"Bang!!!"

The door to the broadcasting room slammed against the wall with a loud crash.

The blond little man kicked open the door, turned his head to look at him, or rather, at the two of them embracing.

Eriri Sawamura took a step forward, her face expressionless.

Mai Sakurajima turned to look at Eriri, thought for a moment, and then let go of him.

Eriri Sawamura then walked up to him and looked him in the eye.

After a while, Eriri Sawamura lowered her eyes, turned around and left.

She didn't say anything, didn't cry or make a fuss, and just quietly walked out.

Nomiyama watched the person leave, patted his senior's hand, and without hesitation, followed after him.

Mai Sakurajima didn't follow, because someone walked in the moment after the two left the broadcasting room.

Yukinoshita Yukino.

Megumi Kato.

Chapter 220 We kept it a secret from Yuki

Nomiyama knew that most emotional outbursts in this world were often the result of pent-up emotions becoming unbearable.

People who are emotionally agitated at all times are a minority; most people are actually just a quiet hillside, remaining calm and composed.

Snowflakes fell one by one onto the hillside, gradually accumulating into piles, which continued to climb upwards, eventually becoming towering high.

The quiet hillside remained quiet, only reaching its limit in silence.

And then a sneeze, or the last snowflake falls.

The accumulated snow began to loosen and roll down, creating an immense roar, as if it were about to unleash all the previous quiet and endurance at once.

An avalanche is every snowflake's protest against the world.

Eriri's avalanche was quiet, perhaps because she is usually too boisterous.

Nomiyama has seen her brave, her unreasonable and hypocritical, and her timid or smug.

But this was the first time she had ever spoken to him and completely ignored him.

"Iced Coke".

Eriri Sawamura ignored him and just kept walking forward with her head down.

"potato chips."

Eriri Sawamura still ignored him.

"candy?"

This time, Eriri Sawamura didn't want to listen anymore. She found him a bit annoying, so she tried to move her legs and ran forward.

She wanted to go home, back to her little room.

She ran a little too fast, and she seemed a little flustered.

So at one point she stumbled and fell to the ground.

But she didn't scream or panic; she just closed her eyes.

The next moment, her body was embraced by a pair of hands.

Eriri Sawamura turned her head to look at him. He was biting the edge of a bag of potato chips, his arms wrapped around her.

Those eyes were as clear and bright as ever.

It is clear, so it can be seen and is easy to explore.

Yes, he will definitely protect himself because he is his best friend, and he will always cherish himself because he is his best friend.

"Shall I carry you back? You know I can walk faster."

Nomiyama helped Eriri sit up straight, took the potato chip she was biting, took two steps forward, and squatted down.

Eriri Sawamura tried to get around him, but she couldn't move her feet.

After a long while.

"asshole..."

Two words were squeezed out.

She carefully crouched down and whispered, "Walk slowly."

"Oh." Nomiyama stood up and then handed over the potato chips to the back.

"You'll probably prefer the tomato flavor."

"Where did you get this?"

"I just passed by a convenience store and rushed in to buy it."

"asshole..."

"Here, I also brought a can of Coke."

"asshole..."

Neither of them spoke after that.

The sounds that filled the air were car horns, cicada chirps, and the crisp crunch of potato chips being bitten.

The person behind takes a bite, and then the person in front takes another bite.

......

"What do you mean?"

Yukino Yukinoshita's voice is always simple and direct.

Mai Sakurajima glanced at Yukino, who was looking directly at her, and then at Megumi, who seemed to be casually observing the broadcasting room.

We need answers and reasons.

Mai Sakurajima reached into her pocket, took out the candy he had given her earlier, and began to unwrap it.

"I like the meaning of 'kazehaya'."

As she spoke, she looked up and said, "Yukino, only he can see me, only he can communicate with me, only he can save me from this situation. You should understand how much dependence he gives me."

Yukino watched coldly, having overlooked one thing: instructing Nomiyama-kun to keep a proper distance from Mai-senpai.

This is because the maturity and rationality the other person displayed during the few days we spent together made me subconsciously believe that nothing unexpected would happen, and I relaxed to a certain extent.

However, the reason why things developed this way is only because it happened in a short period of time.

Mai Sakurajima lightly pinched the candy between her fingers and took a few steps forward.

“You should know that there is no such thing as a second time for everything, but if there is a second time, there will definitely be a third time; Kazehaya’s side has been breached, and since you can stay by his side, so can I.”

After saying that, Mai Sakurajima put the candy in her mouth, pushed open the door of the broadcasting room, and walked out.

Yukino Yukinoshita turned her head to look at Megumi Kato.

"It wasn't me," Kato Megumi said quite calmly.

She glanced at the barely suppressed chill emanating from Yukinoshita, but her expression remained unchanged.

It really wasn't me, it was your sister. She's the one who opened the hole. I just tore it bigger.

......

"I am not happy."

"I can tell."

"But you didn't comfort me."

"Nonsense, your potato chips, cola, and candy were all given to you by me."

"Scumbag tactics."

"You know I'm a total scumbag."

"Put me down."

"Ah."

Nomiyama put Eriri down, looked up at the bookstore, and followed her inside.

The two browsed the bookshelves, searching.

"Couldn't find it..." Eriri Sawamura said with some disappointment. "It's been a long time since Kasumi Utako-sensei's next volume was published."

Nomiyama glanced at the bookshelf twice.

The sixth volume of "Koimonogatari" is indeed a long time coming, a full year. For a genius in the light novel industry who updates three volumes a year, this pace is incredibly slow.

The plot stops at the moment the male and female protagonists confess their feelings.

Cherry blossoms fluttered and the wind blew, but the words of confession between the male and female protagonists remained unspoken, and some had been waiting for a year.

Nomiyama felt it was a bit of a pity, but he didn't think much of it or ask about it.
