Shiraishi stood there, feeling like a tree in the background of a stage play. In elementary school, she played a similar role. The prince and princess either quarreled or were tender in front of the stage. Parents in the audience worshiped

Receiving encouraging applause, she sank into the shadows of the stage as if she had been forgotten.

Just like now.

In the collision of minds between Hashimoto and Fukawa, although she was present, she was just a powerless bystander.

Until now, Shiraishi has not been able to empathize with the depressed and sad mood of the two. She didn't know what to say, because there was no room for her to intervene. This is the story of these two people, and Shiraishi is more of a role player.

The role of a witness.

She heard Wu Geng's words in the silence, and then she noticed that there was another small circle of swords and swords a few steps away. Before that, Shiraishi's attention had always been drawn to Hashimoto and Fukawa.

"Na-chan, do you want me to go back to my old self?"

Wu Geng's voice floated deep and shallow in this space. Baishi didn't understand Wu Geng's appearance before joining the group. She just noticed the loneliness and ghostly confusion contained in it.

This sentence was so unexpectedly heavy that she subconsciously looked in the direction of Wu Geng and Nishino.

Both Fukagawa and Hashimoto are.

At this moment, the attention of the whole audience turned to Wu Geng and Nishino, the pair who can best be called a couple. They were the first to open the magic box. In a sense, they are the elders of everyone present.

.

The suddenness of Wu Geng's words surprised Nishino. She raised her eyebrows slightly, unable to understand why Wu Geng would say such words at this time.

Then she suddenly realized that she didn't seem to know much about Wu Geng's past.

She knew that Arisugawa and Ayoshiki were her friends, and she also learned from the few words exchanged between them that her elementary school days at Wu Geng were actually not ordinary. She was once an introverted child who was a bit idiosyncratic.

Nishino thought of his past, the period when interpersonal relationships were in a mess, and the bitterness associated with loneliness surged from the bottom of his heart to the tip of his tongue.

"...I'm sorry if I reminded you of the unpleasant experience, Xiaoxiao," she said bluntly, without denying her mistake.

"I never thought about asking Xiaoxiao to go back to the past, or to become a completely different person..."

"Nana-chan, please point it out," Wu Geng said, "Nana-chan, point it out where I'm wrong, unreliable, and uncomfortable. Na-chan, please point it out. Do you want to slow down your relationship with the members?

Or I will no longer have contact with other members. I will listen carefully to what Na-chan wants me to do, and I will try my best to be in line with Na-chan’s wishes..."

She was a little impatient, maybe she didn't feel it.

"It's not for me." Nishino interrupted her angrily.

"Then who should I do it for?" Wu Geng was also a little annoyed, "I like Na-chan, so I don't want to get along with Na-chan in a subtle way, so..."

That's why she is so distressed, and that's why they are trapped in this current battle where they are confronting each other but there is no winner.

Everyone present was.

...Except Ikuta.

"Xiao Xiao, you don't understand at all," Nishino smiled, his smile full of hardship and downfall.

"Because Na-chan, you keep saying such vague things, how can I understand what you want me to do?"

Compared to the emotional displays of the members next door, Wu Geng and Nishino seemed to be dancing a ballroom dance with each other blindfolded. They tentatively contacted each other and tried their best to match each other's rhythm, but they frequently made embarrassments and clumsily stepped on each other's feet.

At this time, Fukawa looked at Wu Geng with a deep but pitiful gaze and said, "Xiao Shixiao, what you said is wrong."

"...What's wrong?" Wugeng asked.

"It's not what Na-chan wants, but what you can do. It's not for Na-chan, not for her, but for yourselves. This is your responsibility. Don't put all this on Na-chan alone."

Don’t be like me, like us. Fukawa said in his heart.

"That's enough, Mai Mai." Nishino said softly.

"There's no need to say it anymore. If Xiaoxiao could have noticed this, today's situation wouldn't have happened."

After a while, she added another sentence.

"We are all."

No one on the scene answered.

After the carnival, a mess will be left behind.

The same goes for hearts that are difficult to reconcile due to disputes and conflicts.

Everyone looks at the problem from their own perspective, has different understandings of the same problem, and submits different answers. In the absence of an absolutely unique and absolutely correct answer, it is natural for everyone present to be greatly failed.

...Except for Ikuta.

Nishino gradually felt that his pride and persistence had been completely trampled in this quarrel between chicken and duck. After all, the communication between Wu Geng and her was from two standpoints, looking at it from their own perspectives.

Wugeng could not understand Nishino's mood, just as Nishino couldn't understand what Wugeng was thinking.

"Makin-like."

Nishino called Shiraishi's name.

Not only Shiraishi himself, but everyone present felt strange.

Nishino faced Shiraishi. She had only one thought in her mind at the moment, that Wu Geng must understand her anxiety. This has almost become her obsession.

She couldn't even figure out whether this was a sudden impulse or a choice she made after careful consideration.

She didn't hesitate much. No matter how bad their current situation was, it couldn't be any worse, so every choice was like a desperate fight after hitting rock bottom.

Nishino spoke with a touching decisive tone:
Chapter completed!
