Chapter 220 Maki's Love Rival
In the cafe next to the restaurant, two girls sat in silence after ordering.
Ezaki Suguha's face turned slightly pale, and his thoughts were in a mess.
The other party's previous words, "I'm so easy to fool," kept lingering in her mind, making her feel even more guilty.
As for Miyazawa Maki, her idea was much simpler.
“Well, when did it start exactly?”
"Yes, in Kyoto."
"That's it."
Miyazawa Maki curled her lips with an expression that said "I knew it".
After all, her business trip to Kyoto was one of the few times when she didn't notice Haruno. Plus, she had already guessed some clues when they called, so Miyazawa Maki could probably determine the exact time when Suguha and Haruno were entangled.
It's really annoying, Miyazawa Maki thought.
This bastard, not satisfied with having me, he really went to find other girls.
It would have been fine if he just looked for her, but he actually looked for Ezaki Suguha, even though he knew she was his friend.
No wonder he suddenly asked about whether a girl was pretty or not last night. It turned out that he was secretly waiting for her here.
Oh, if that's the case.
Didn't some of the things I said yesterday and before make me look stupid and slow? ?
Miyazawa Maki's face suddenly darkened.
Sitting opposite her, Suguha Ezaki had no idea what she was thinking and thought that her frankness had angered her.
After a psychological struggle, Suguha Ezaki's shoulders slowly drooped.
"It's all my fault. It has nothing to do with Haruno."
She spoke, her voice very hoarse.
"I deliberately tempted Haruno to use the drug I gave you, which is why it turned out like this."
"Eh?"
Miyazawa Maki opened her mouth and was even more dumbfounded.
So, does it have something to do with me?
"But why, Suguha, the relationship between you and Haruno isn't that good yet, why do you suddenly want to do this?"
"do not know"
Suguha Ezaki clenched his pants tightly, his eyes becoming more and more guilty.
"I-I'm just envious of Maki."
".envious?"
"Well, I noticed you and Haruno before." Ezaki Suguha looked away and said with difficulty, "No, to be precise, I noticed Haruno, and you were not here at that time."
"What do you mean by not here?"
"During last year's Golden Week, I participated in a kendo exchange competition, and happened to be on the same Shinkansen train with Haruno."
"."
Miyazawa Maki stared at her in confusion.
How come it’s the Golden Week again?
She almost forgot about the Golden Week incident. Wasn't this matter only related to Mana? How come there is another one now?
“The specific situation is as follows”
In the next ten minutes, Suguha Ezaki slowly told everything.
When they first met during the Golden Week, Haruno had no impression of her. When they met again this year, he found out that "Mana" was still dating Haruno and that he was very envious of their relationship.
Suguha Ezaki even told some stories about her family. After explaining all of this, she said why she chose to seduce Haruno, how she succeeded, and how she made Haruno take responsibility for her.
She kept her head down the entire time, as if she was confessing a criminal record, and she didn't dare to look directly at her friend in front of her.
Only after she finished listening did Miyazawa Maki look dumbfounded, which made her feel a little uneasy.
"what"
Miyazawa Maki scratched her hair vigorously and said in surprise: "So, you mistook me for Mana, and that's why you have such emotions?"
"Ah."
Ezaki Suguha pursed her lips and responded silently.
"B-but didn't Haruno explain it to you?"
"He doesn't know, and I haven't told him. We met during the Golden Week."
"."
Miyazawa Maki was even more dumbfounded.
She originally wanted to scold the other party from the perspective of "being backstabbed", but after listening to what Suguha Ezaki said, she suddenly felt that the other party was very pitiful.
If you think about it carefully, the dilemma faced by Suguha Ezaki is actually somewhat similar to hers.
She became like that because her sister Mana was too outstanding and she was forced to compare with her since childhood; and Ezaki Suguha was also forced to bear a lot of things and pressure because of the misfortune of her parents' family.
Both of them wanted to live their own way, but they had to do this because of family reasons.
From her perspective, there was no way to blame the other party.
After all, she initially stuck to Sawayama Haruno just to find out the difference between herself and Mana and to defeat her sister.
"Feel sorry."
Just when Miyazawa Maki was still a little confused, Esaki Suguha suddenly raised her head.
"I became like this because of me." "At the beginning, I just wanted to leave some special memories and prove that I was different from the "mistakes of my parents", but I never thought of really destroying the relationship between you and Haruno."
Jiang Qizhiye paused, and then immediately said: "So, I will not..."
"and many more."
Miyazawa Maki was startled by her sudden words and quickly interrupted her.
"Wait a minute, let me think about it!"
"Eh"
"Well, I'm not as angry as you think."
Miyazawa Maki scratched his face and said with a guilty conscience: "Maybe it's because I'm not a good kid either."
"Listening to what Suguha said just now, I don't know why I remembered the first time I came into contact with Haruno."
"In fact, I had the same idea as Suguha at first, but it was a little different from your desire to leave a special memory. I just wanted to show off to my sister in this way. It was probably more childish and angry."
Miyazawa Maki picked up the small silver spoon and began to shake the coffee in front of her, whispering, "I don't know why, but I feel like Suguha's experience is very similar to mine."
".show off?"
"Well, because Mana can always easily defeat me and take away what I want." Miyazawa Maki stopped shaking the coffee, bit the small silver spoon in her mouth, and said vaguely, "So, after running away from home that day, I saw Haruno coming to me, and I had the urge to make a mistake on him."
"It's the same for Suguha. You want to do this because of your parents' affairs and your family's constant pressure. I can understand your feelings to some extent," she added.
"how come."
Suguha Ezaki opened her mouth with a dull expression.
Things seemed to be heading in a direction she had never expected.
She thought she would be scolded by Miyazawa Maki, and even prepared herself to be slapped by her.
She felt that it would be fine even if she had to kneel on the ground and apologize to the other party, or cut off ties with Sawayama Haruno.
After all, she was the one who interfered.
Moreover, he interfered in the relationship of his friend Maki Miyazawa.
No matter how you think about it, you'd think she's actually a despicable person, right?
"Maki, you, you're really not angry?"
"Well, there's still a little bit, right?"
Maki Miyazawa threw the small silver spoon back into the cup and lay back with her arms folded across her chest.
"But it may be a little different from what you imagined." Miyazawa Maki pouted and said depressedly, "What makes me more angry is that I feel like I was fooled like a fool."
She was particularly bothered by this.
Especially when he thought about how he had asked Suguha to help him be on guard against the women around Haruno when they were on a business trip in Kyoto.
She felt particularly stupid.
And last night too, I foolishly asked Haruno, could the girl who had a relationship with him be as pretty as Ezaki Suguha?
Unexpectedly, the other party turned out to be Suguha Ezaki.
Damn it, that guy should have just said it earlier. He made me look like a stupid girl. It’s all that bastard Haruno’s fault.
"Feel sorry."
Suguha Ezaki, who was sitting opposite her, didn't understand what she meant and thought she was simply complaining that she had played a trick on her, so she quickly apologized again.
Miyazawa Maki waved her hands, sighed and said, "Forget it. I don't know what to say now."
"It's impossible for me to really yell at you or anything like that. And if I do that, Haruno will probably find it difficult to do so."
"Actually, I think as long as they're not my sister, it doesn't matter who else is involved."
Miyazawa Maki rubbed her face vigorously and added, "And I don't think I'll lose to Suguha either."
At most it's a draw, she muttered to herself.
Well, the equality is still based on the fact that Suguha has already had a relationship with Haruno.
Based on the confession just now, it is not difficult to see that the key point that allowed Suguha and Haruno to develop to this point is that Suguha forced Haruno to have a relationship with him.
In other words, without this reason, nothing would have happened between Haruno and Suguha, right?
In this case, I have a huge advantage. After all, this face can make Haruno make the same mistake again!
Although she had always been troubled by this face in the past, at least now she is still very grateful for it.
Who made Haruno like it?
As long as it wasn't Mana, other people didn't matter to her.
What's more, Suguha had a similar mental journey as her, so she couldn't blame him at all.
"I won't lose, that means"
Ezaki Suguha stared at her blankly, as if he hadn't figured out what she meant.
"What I mean is, it's better to keep it like this."
Miyazawa Maki pursed her lips and said depressedly, "What else can I do? I don't want to see you really follow your parents' old path. Besides, because of Haruno, I can only ignore it for now."
"Well, after all, we still have to deal with that bastard."
She couldn't help but mutter one more word.
