Chapter 172 Maki Wants to Be Justified
12:30 pm, Shibuya district, Tokyo.
Maki Miyazawa was standing next to a vending machine near the station entrance, looking at another "self" with a look of despair on her face.
I want to say something but I don't know what to say, and I don't even know how to maintain my expression.
Why not just leave it at that and keep a poker face?
Anyway, I basically have this expression when I face this guy. But when I go out of the station and see the young lady, I can no longer make this expression.
She had to pretend that they were getting along very well in front of each other, otherwise once the truth was guessed, her impression of the young aunt would definitely be greatly reduced!
Thinking of this, Miyazawa Maki couldn't help but feel a little worried.
But the "self" standing in front of her seemed to be more nervous than her.
"Is Aunt Maki Ako really here?"
Miyazawa Mana bit her lip and asked with some fear: "What is going on?"
"how could I know?"
Miyazawa Maki rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "I was caught just as I was about to go to work this morning, and they mistook me for you."
"So, does Aunt Ako really know about your relationship with Haruno?"
Mana asked quickly.
"Already know."
Miyazawa Maki said impatiently: "I already know everything, including the fact that I had a relationship with Haruno, but I don't think I know why you broke up."
"Yeah."
Miyazawa Mana sighed softly.
Things seemed to be more serious than she had imagined.
She had considered how to resolve the embarrassing situation of the three of them in the future, but none of her assumptions had included the possibility of being discovered first by Ayako Sawayama.
Therefore, when she received a call from her sister Maki, and heard that Sawayama Ako had arrived in Tokyo and specifically mentioned that she wanted to have dinner with the two twins, Miyazawa Mana quickly fell into a panic.
What to do now.
How should I explain why I broke up with the other party's son? And how should I explain why I accepted that the other party's son was dating his sister who looked exactly like me?
Will Zeshan Ako see anything about the relationship between the three of them?
The more she thought about it, the more worried Miyazawa Mana became. Looking at her sister who seemed to have put on delicate light makeup, she asked with a little uneasiness: "Where is Aunt Ako now?"
"It's just outside the station. Buy something at the store next to it."
Miyazawa Maki's expression became a little depressed, and she said reluctantly: "The one called Ayano Yui found an excuse to temporarily send Aunt Ako away. I think she wanted the two of us to communicate in advance."
".Haruno's cousin?"
"Ah."
"Really? Did Haruno say anything now?"
"He just sent me a bunch of messages." Miyazawa Maki subconsciously glanced at the phone in her hand, but soon pouted and said dissatisfiedly, "But in this situation, how can I have time to answer too many of his messages? Besides, Aunt Ako is watching me all the time."
"Yeah."
Miyazawa Mana pursed her lips and whispered, "Then while we still have some time, let's quickly think about how to deal with Aunt Ako next."
"Do you know much about her?"
Maki Miyazawa couldn't help but look at her sister a few more times.
She knew that the other party had met Sawayama Ako before. During the Golden Week last year, Haruno took her back to the countryside of Osaka and even stayed there for a night.
Ugh. That's really annoying.
I am already worried that Haruno's family will think there are better girls to be their daughter-in-law. Now the better choice is my twin sister.
It's annoying just thinking about it.
"If you understand, then there is still a little bit."
Miyazawa Mana didn't see her sister's mood, but continued with a little worry: "After we meet later, I wonder if Aunt Ako will ask me the specific reason for the breakup. If she asks, we will all say that it was because of academic problems that the relationship gradually faded."
"what?"
Miyazawa Maki wrinkled her nose and said unhappily: "Why don't you tell the truth? What is the real reason why you broke up with Haruno?"
"."
Miyazawa Mana didn't say anything, but couldn't help but glance at her sister a few more times.
As expected, Haruno didn't tell the other party. If Maki, who is very sensitive, knew that she was partly responsible for his breakup, she would definitely not be able to accept it.
"The real reason is more complicated. Anyway, it's just to create the appearance of a peaceful breakup."
Miyazawa Mana paused and added, "Only a peaceful breakup can explain why Maki is with Haruno again, right?"
".That's correct."
Miyazawa Maki became a little conflicted.
Indeed, when she was chatting with Aunt Ako in the morning, she also more or less hinted that Mana and Haruno were on a peaceful terms and she only intervened later.
This way, she would seem a little more "legitimate".
It's much better than some excuse like "I want to steal my sister's favorite thing", right?
Well. From this point of view, I have no reason to reject Mana's proposal.
"OK then."
Maki Miyazawa soon stopped worrying about this matter, and after agreeing reluctantly, she couldn't help but ask about other things.
"Then, what about Ayano Yui's matter?" "Although I don't know the details, but that guy seems to know about the three of us."
"Otherwise, she wouldn't have tried to buy time for me just now, right?" Miyazawa Maki asked puzzled.
"That girl"
When it comes to Ayano Yui, Miyazawa Mana's expression becomes a little forced.
She could still vividly remember the scene of her having dinner with Sawayama Haruno and Ayano Yui in the restaurant. Until last night, she would use that scene to comfort herself.
I just didn't expect something like this to happen today.
However, judging from her current performance, Ayano Yui seems to be willing to help them both.
Perhaps Haruno, who was still on a business trip in Kyoto, had found a way to get her help.
Thinking of this, Miyazawa Mana said uncertainly: "It should be okay, right?"
"Haruno should have sent more than just messages to you. Since she is Haruno's relative, she should have received some instructions as well."
"That's true." Miyazawa Maki thought about it and felt that what she said made sense, so she said casually, "Then I don't have any problem. Now it's your problem. How should we respond to Aunt Ako's "reminiscing about the past"?"
Yes, the following questions have nothing to do with her.
Because Ako Sawayama specifically asked her to help ask Mana out, it was obvious that she had something to say to her.
I just need to take care of the matter of "taking the position of elder sister legitimately", and I don't need to worry about anything else that comes after that.
What's more, with the help of Ayano Yui, an assistant hiding in the dark, it will be easy to solve Aunt Ako's problem!
I wrongly blamed this cousin from the country last time. If I have the chance, I must invite her to dinner.
Well, Haruno pays!
Thinking of this, Miyazawa Maki couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth a little, revealing a smug expression.
From this perspective, there is actually nothing to worry about!
I might even be able to see the embarrassed and uneasy expression Mana showed when she faced Aunt Ako's questions.
Great--
"you"
Miyazawa Mana looked at her own sister who started to laugh foolishly for no reason, and looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
I don't know whether to say that Maki is an optimist or that she is just too generous.
But at this point, there is no other way but to take it one step at a time.
Miyazawa Mana sighed softly in her heart, and her eyes were quite helpless when she looked at her sister, but she still said softly: "That's about it. The main thing is to give a statement about the reason for the breakup. If she asks me anything later, try not to say anything. I will handle it well."
"Just don't tell me what you want to do with Haruno, I don't care about anything else."
Miyazawa Maki hummed twice, then took Miyazawa Mana out of the station.
It would be impossible to take half an hour to pick someone up. Ayano Yui has been holding Sawayama Ako back for a long time, and it's time for her to leave, lest they come looking for her again.
With a slightly anxious pace, the two beautiful girls who looked exactly the same walked out of the station.
The sun in Tokyo is still scorching at noon.
After coming out of the busy station, Miyazawa Maki first looked at the crowd. After seeing a young aunt waving at her not far away, she shrank her head uneasily.
"Go over there."
Miyazawa Mana comforted her softly.
The nervous mood seemed to completely disappear when he walked out of the station and saw Sawayama Ako.
As an older sister, Miyazawa Mana had to take on her due responsibilities. She no longer looked a little flustered, but walked towards Sawayama Ako with a slightly sweet smile on her face.
"Auntie, long time no see."
"Mana-chan."
Ayako Sawayama looked at her with some surprise, as if she would be very happy to have two exactly the same beautiful girls standing in front of her.
Even though they were standing on the street, she couldn't wait to reminisce about the past with Mana.
The good news is that Ako Sawayama never mentioned a word about the reason for her breakup with Haruno.
The bad news is that Ako Sawayama seemed to care about her too much. As soon as they met, she started talking about how she had been doing recently. Maki, who was standing next to her, almost had "I'm unhappy" written on her face.
In the end, it was Ayano Yui who interrupted their conversation.
"Auntie, let's go to the restaurant first."
She pulled Zeshan Azi and said coquettishly, "I'm hungry, and it's a little too hot to stand outside and chat."
"That's right."
After hearing what Ayano Yui said, Sawayama Ako smiled faintly, and her eyes immediately fell on the depressed Miyazawa Maki beside her.
"Then let's choose a restaurant, Maki-chan?"
She said gently: "Auntie, this is my second time in Tokyo. I'm not very familiar with it. Do you have any good restaurant recommendations?"
"Eh, me?"
Miyazawa Maki hurriedly took out her phone and quickly checked the reviews of nearby restaurants on the app. Then she said dryly, "It seems that there is a sukiyaki restaurant that is quite good. Uh, do you want to eat sukiyaki for lunch?"
"That's good. I haven't eaten for a long time."
Ayano Yui immediately agreed, and did not forget to look at Miyazawa Mana beside her.
