Chapter 188 Shiori finally discovered the clues of stealing the house
After leaving Nonomiya Shrine, the next step is to walk to Arashiyama Avenue, then wait for the train to come and get on the train again, and then rush to the next destination.
The original plan was to take a rickshaw and continue moving forward, and then go into any interesting temples to visit, but when they arrived at the rickshaw area, Mine Shiori suddenly asked Sawayama Haruno and Esaki Suguha to wait for her.
"I'm going to the bathroom, sorry."
"It's okay, we'll wait for you here."
Sawayama Haruno said with understanding.
Looking at the petite girl nodding hastily and then leaving in a hurry, Sawayama Haruno couldn't help but sigh that the other party had changed so much.
She was clearly very gloomy and introverted at the beginning, but now she has become better. After all, she is one of the few normal girls around me.
Just when Sawayama Haruno was still sighing inwardly, Ezaki Suguha suddenly sat down next to him.
The two of them were very close, with their arms almost touching.
Sawayama Haruno's face suddenly froze, and he couldn't help but whispered: "Suguha, he's still outside now."
"I know."
Ezaki Suguha closed his eyes, leaned his head over, and said softly, "No one knows us anyway, and the master has gone to the bathroom."
".Don't worry, there are so many passengers today, you will definitely have to wait in line for the restroom for a while," she added.
That's true, but it's too much.
Sawayama Haruno sighed in his heart, but still relaxed his body to let the other person lean more comfortably.
“People are still greedy.”
The girl leaning on his shoulder suddenly murmured to herself.
“Once you get what you want, you will no longer be satisfied with the status quo and want more.”
"."
Sawayama Haruno didn't say anything, but couldn't help but glance sideways at the other person.
"I am also a greedy child. I know it is wrong to do this, but I can't stop."
Ezaki Suguha stared into the distance with lifeless eyes, still muttering: "At the beginning, I just wanted to leave a few memories, but now I feel like I can't stop."
"Let's solve it together?" Sawayama Haruno whispered.
"But I don't know how to face other people, or how to solve this kind of thing."
"Then let me handle it."
Sawayama Haruno looked down at the stone at his feet. After a long silence, he said softly, "After returning to Tokyo, I will pay you a formal visit."
Well, it's not just about visiting.
After returning to Tokyo, I have to explain this matter to Maki.
The other party should have noticed it by now, but his attitude was strange. He didn't blame her too much. Maybe he felt that since the person he cheated with was not Mana, he would not pose a threat to her.
Really, this guy is always inexplicably confident at times like this.
However, after knowing that it was her best friend this time, I wonder if she will be sad.
Sawayama Haruno let out a long sigh, his face looking inexplicably heavy.
I still have to shoulder the responsibilities of a man and be more proactive in solving the problems around me.
"I say, Suguha."
"Ok?"
"What kind of feelings do you have towards me?" Zeshan Haruno turned his head again and asked softly, "Even if we don't count it as the master-servant relationship you mentioned, what kind of feelings do you still have towards me?"
There is an urge to figure it out.
After all, the other party has always avoided talking about this matter, which makes him confused.
But she drugged me and forced me to have sex with her, and even told me that I didn't need to be responsible. Does that mean that she actually has some strange feelings for me in her heart?
He wanted to hear the "correct answer" from the other party.
"emotion."
After hearing Sawayama Haruno's question, Ezaki Suguha couldn't help but be distracted for a moment.
Scenes in my mind began to flash back, and finally stopped at the brief encounter on the Shinkansen during last year's Golden Week.
At that time, the other party picked up the Bluetooth headset that he dropped on the ground, which successfully attracted her attention, and then she discovered the relationship between him and Maki.
Well, I envy the relationship between him and Maki, so I want to experience that sweet feeling myself.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but say: "The main reason is probably because I envy the relationship between you and Maki."
"Yeah."
Sawayama Haruno gave a wry smile.
I have guessed this answer before, but it always feels different when I hear the person himself admit it.
Ultimately, it’s because of the complicated relationship between Suguha Ezaki’s parents.
"Haruno."
Suguha Ezaki called softly while quietly extending her hand towards him.
Sawayama Haruno subconsciously held it.
Perhaps due to long-term training, Suguha Ezaki's fingers are not as soft as those of other girls, but their slender appearance still makes people love them.
Sawayama Haruno just held the other person's hand quietly and sat on the bench for a while.
It was not until the time was almost up that Ezaki Suguha slowly pulled her hand back.
After a brief moment of contact, the distance between the two slowly widened.
A few minutes later, Mine Shiori came back.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting."
"No, I just sat down and took a break." Zeshan Haruno stood up and smiled helplessly, "It's almost time to leave for the next attraction. After that, we have to take the train to see the red leaves forest."
"Um"
Mine Shiori responded obediently. Esaki Suguha stood up silently without saying a word.
After adjusting their next destination, the three of them quickly moved forward again.
Only this time, they all seemed unusually silent.
Sawayama Haruno, who was walking in the front, led the way according to the instructions in the guide, while Ezaki Suguha, who was walking in the middle, kept staring at his back.
As for Mine Shiori.
What no one noticed was the gloomy expression that flashed across her face.
"I saw something I shouldn't have seen," she thought to herself.
My body seemed to be suddenly filled with lead, and I felt exhausted as I walked.
No, it's more than that.
Mine Shiori drooped her eyes and her expression began to look worse.
It was because I wanted to go to the next attraction before going to the restroom, and when I came out I saw something I shouldn't have seen.
Even though I felt a sense of panic that I couldn't breathe, and my vision was slowly shrinking, narrowing, and turning dark at both ends, I still didn't have the courage to go out and face Haruno and Suguha.
Completely, totally clueless about what happened.
When did their relationship become so close?
Could it be that the two of them are dating?
Thinking of this, Mine Shiori looked up in a daze, staring at the two people walking in front of her in a daze.
I can't understand why it turned out like this.
Why. Why did Suguha lean on Haruno, and why did the two of them hold hands.
Obviously, their relationship had not reached this point before.
It was obviously me who came here first.
Mine Shiori bit her lip, and the pain in her heart made her look even worse.
Fortunately, the two people walking in front did not notice this situation.
I bumped into a petite girl whom I shouldn't have seen, and followed them towards the next attraction in a daze.
She was in a daze all along the way, as if her mind was disconnected. She had no idea what she was thinking or what she should do. She could only follow the two of them like a robot.
Even when today's trip to Arashiyama came to an end and she boarded the train home, Mine Shiori still hadn't recovered from her shock.
"Will it take another 20 minutes to get back to Ginkaku-ji?"
Listening to the announcer's voice on the train, Sawayama Haruno looked at the station map above and asked casually, "Do you want to go out for dinner?"
"."
"Can't do it?"
The last person to speak was Suguha Ezaki.
She smiled a little tiredly and explained softly, "I've been walking for a long time today. If possible, I want to go back early to take a shower and rest."
"Yes, that's right. Shiori also looks very bad." Sawayama Haruno looked at the two girls and smiled helplessly, "Is it because you walked around too much?"
After all, she wasn't the kind of girl who was good at sports, so it was normal for her to look bad.
As for Suguha Ezaki, it was easier to understand. After all, she was still injured, and she seemed a little absent-minded after holding hands with him, which probably affected her current state to some extent.
In that case, let’s go back to Ginkaku-ji Temple and rest early.
"Let's go back first, then rest early today, and then go to Kiyomizu Temple tomorrow morning?"
"Feel sorry."
Mine Shiori, who had been silent all the way, finally spoke.
She said in a hoarse voice: "I feel a little uncomfortable. I won't go tomorrow, right?"
Don't want to go.
Now she doesn’t want to think about anything, she just wants to lie in bed and have a good “rest”.
Because my mind always involuntarily recalls the scene I saw in the afternoon.
Whenever she thought of Haruno and Suguha holding hands and snuggling together, she felt an inexplicable pain in her body, which was very distressing.
She simply couldn't understand what was happening, and didn't know how to understand it. Now she just wanted to escape back to her own "room" and have a good rest.
"Master, do you have a cold?"
Jiang Qizhiye, who was standing by, immediately became alert and suggested, "Do you want to go to the hospital, or should I ask someone to buy you some cold medicine?"
Sawayama Haruno also looked over subconsciously.
No way, is it really because I walked too much and got sick from exhaustion?
It seems that there are examples like this, mainly because Mine Shiori looks like the kind of literary girl who rarely exercises.
For the other person, today's number of steps and exercise is quite large, right?
"No need, maybe I'm just tired?" Mine Shiori said vaguely.
Really annoying.
Why is it that Suguha is still as gentle as before?
She had already snatched Haruno away, so why was she pretending to care about him?
She obviously knew how she felt about Haruno, so why did she do such a thing?
Mine Shiori half-closed her eyes, her eyes became increasingly sleepy, and her expression gradually became dull.
Forget it, I don't want to think about it.
"Is it better to go back early?"
Looking at the familiar expression on Mine Shiori's face, Sawayama Haruno was a little unsure.
After all, in the second half, in order to take care of his desire to try a foot bath, the three of them walked the same route again. Maybe that was why he felt tired.
He said uncertainly: "Are you really okay?"
"."
Mine Shiori didn't say anything, but instead gave a somewhat haggard smile.
Seeing her like this, although Sawayama Haruno was a little confused, he had to put it aside for the time being.
The other person seems to be very tired, so I decided not to disturb her and let her take a nap on the train.
And so, the three of them spoke less and less along the way, until forty minutes later, when the train finally returned to the vicinity of Ginkaku-ji Temple.
After getting off the bus and walking for dozens of minutes, they finally returned to their respective courtyards.
Before parting, after reminding Shiori Mine again to tell him if she felt unwell, Sawayama Haruno slowly returned to his room.
