Her big eyes seemed to reveal infinite melancholy and worry about gains and losses.

This act of staring closely into Sanako's eyes seemed to be searching for something called "hope" in Sanako's eyes.

"……Um."

Sanako hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"This, this is it..."

Her eyes dropped... Kinoshita Mai lowered her head and gaze as if to escape, staring straight at the ground in front of her toes without blinking, her two small hands folded in front of her, tightly grasping the fabric of the yukata in front of her legs.

.

…

Woo-pop! Woo-pop! Woo-pop!

…

The fireworks are still going off... It would be better to say that the fireworks show is now entering its climax.

But except for the innocent Elodie, no one has the leisure to enjoy the fireworks above their heads.

Even the colorful fireworks couldn't bring back the bright color to everyone...especially Kinoshita Mai's face.

The explosions of fireworks became louder and louder, forming a sharp contrast with the deathly silence that surrounded everyone.

At the moment, everyone remained silent with different moods.

For example: Sanako is feeling upset right now.

She pursed her lips and scolded herself angrily:

——Tsk... Why should I be angry with a child like this...

Just now, when Elodie asked him if he came here to buy this blue yukata, Sanako just wanted to fool him casually.

But somehow, the deceptive words were clearly in his throat, but he couldn't get them out.

At the same time, Kinoshita Mai's faintly proud smile flashed back and forth in Sanako's mind.

And then...his lips, tongue and consciousness briefly "lost control".

When he came back to his senses, the words that made the smile on Mai Kinoshita's face disappear and made the surrounding atmosphere change suddenly came out.

Sanako is a full 7 years older than Kinoshita Mai.

In Sanako's eyes, Kinoshita Mai is just a young girl.

With the excellent self-cultivation that I have cultivated over a long period of time, and my long-standing tolerance for young people, logically speaking, I shouldn't do this kind of un-elderly behavior.

What exactly is...why is this happening?

Sanako was both annoyed and puzzled by her "loss of control" just now.

——After all...if Ms. Kinoshita hadn't said anything, I wouldn't have known that Tachibana-kun had participated in the fireworks display with other women besides me...

She and Qingteng are still just friends. No matter who Qingteng goes to play with or where, it is none of her business, and she has no right to interfere with him. Sanako knows this truth.

but……

but……

but……

But I’m just so angry!

Although I can’t tell why I’m angry, I just feel so angry!

Especially when she thought of the kind words Qingdeng said to her last night... she became even more angry!

Although Sanako tried her best to maintain inner calm, she did not hold out for long before she was defeated by the emotions that surged into her heart - she slowly raised her eyes and glared at Qingto with a tense expression.

At the same time, Kinoshita Mai did exactly the same thing as her.

Kinoshita Mai feels very ashamed now.

Especially shameful.

She was self-satisfied with the fact that "I had accomplished something that Sanako could not do," but in the end, I discovered that the same thing that Aoto had done with her, he had done with Sanako the next day...

The shame keeps rising and fermenting... and finally turns into anger!

Especially when I think about how stupidly I just showed off to Sanako that I am a "special person"... I feel even more angry!

She used almost the same movements as Sanako, and almost at the same time as Sanako, she slowly raised her gaze and stared at Qingto with a tense expression.

The two women reached the same front at this moment and had exactly the same idea:

——I really want to punch Tachibana-kun/Aoden hard!

Aoto clearly felt the oppressive gazes from Mai Kinoshita and Sanako.

Qingden reacted to the two powerful gazes, shuddered, and then involuntarily turned his head with mechanical movements to face the two women standing behind him.

One man and two women, three looks with different emotions from their six eyes, collided fiercely in mid-air.

Tachibana-kun, do you have anything to say? - Sanako's eyes conveyed this message.

Compared to Sanako, who has a strong self-esteem and always has a strong acting style, Kinoshita Mai, who has a much "softer" personality, has much gentler eyes.

However, she did not exude the aura of "Forget it, let's just let this matter go."

On the contrary, it seems to be a test of "I don't need to ask more questions and delve deeper...but Qingdeng, can you just let it go?"

The sight of the two women gathered into one turned into a huge hammer, pressing Qingdeng's head, shoulders, and heart from top to bottom...

This hammer was not a violent blow with all your strength.

Instead, beat Qingden repeatedly in a slow, unhurried rhythm.

This feeling of being neither up nor down is tormenting.

As time goes by, the sight of the two women becomes more and more terrifying...

You have to think of something to say and do quickly - whether it is "reason" or "instinct", this is what Qingden said.

However, Qingteng's head was empty! Not to mention taking action, he couldn't even make up his mind whether he should go see Sanako or Kinoshita Mai now!

He wants to see both girls!

He wanted to look directly into the eyes of two women at the same time!

However, he is a normal human being with only one pair of eyes! Both eyes can only move in the same direction at the same time!

This was the first time for him to encounter this kind of situation, whether in his previous life or in this life!

There is absolutely no precedent to refer to and no experience to draw on.

Just when Qingdeng was at a loss for words and silent at a loss, when the tension in the atmosphere almost reached the critical point——

"……Ha ha ha ha."

A hearty laughter suddenly intervened in this "Shura field" that was about to break out.

It's the chief's laughter.

The director, who had been standing silently just now, turned his beautiful eyes and looked at Qingden and others repeatedly.

"No wonder you, Tachibana-kun, are always smiling and looking happy these days. It turns out you came to the fireworks display with Miss Kinoshita and Miss Sanako!"

As he spoke, he walked slowly between Aoto, Mai Kinoshita, and Sanako.

"But that's right, Tachibana-kun, I would be surprised if you don't watch the fireworks with Miss Kinoshita and Miss Sanako."

As expected, Souji attracted Mai, and Zuo looked at her with doubts - Qingto, who didn't know what Souji was trying to do, couldn't help but cast a stunned look at Souji.

Elodie, who didn't understand anything and simply thought that Qingdeng, the Director-General and the others were chatting normally, was still concentrating on watching the fireworks.

Feeling the gaze of Mai, Sa and the others who wanted to ask questions, Souji smiled peacefully, put his hands on his hips, and continued naturally:

"Probably since the end of last month, Mr. Tachibana has been clamoring that he is looking forward to the upcoming fireworks display. He said, 'I like to watch fireworks the most. If there is a chance, I will definitely call my best friend.

, the most important friends went to watch the fireworks together'."

"I'm also curious about who the so-called 'best and most important friends' in Mr. Tachibana's words are. When I asked him, he was still mysterious and didn't say anything."

"Now, the answer is finally revealed."

"If it's two people...it makes sense."

"After all, Tachibana-kun always talks about the two of you in front of me."

Before a "shock" subsided, another "shock" arose - the words of the Souji were like a huge boulder thrown into a calm lake, making Kinoshita Wu and Sanako's eyes flash with "" uncontrollably.

Ripples of surprise.

As if he wanted to leave some time for the two girls to react, Souji paused for a moment, and then restarted Zhu Chun after a while.

"Tachibana-kun often tells me that I have received a lot of care from Chishiya...especially Miss Kinoshita."

Souji turned his eyes and looked at Kinoshita Mai.

"What are you talking about?' Although Ah Wu is a bit shy and shy, she gave people a gloomy and lifeless feeling when they first came into contact with her. However, after getting in touch with her in depth and communicating with her, she found that she is actually a very kind and interesting person.
