Chapter 224 Maki’s true feelings!
"whispering sound"
As soon as she put the cut fruit on the table, Miyazawa Maki snorted somewhat unhappily.
The reason was simple, she just happened to draw a "butterfly".
This is a special pattern card in Hanafuda. If you want to score points with it, you need to combine it with two other cards of different patterns. Only after it becomes "Pig", "Deer" and "Butterfly" can you add five points.
But Miyazawa Maki was very unlucky. The cards in her hand were not well distributed, and she didn't have any species cards (cards with animals or objects).
At this time, she touched a "butterfly" and felt a little uncomfortable.
"Humph--"
Miyazawa Maki seemed to blame the fault on Sawayama Haruno, and glared at him unhappily when she saw him approaching.
Sawayama Haruno coughed twice and pretended to be innocent as he sat behind Miyazawa Maki.
"It seems a bit boring to just play like this."
Ayano Yui took out a card that could be combined into a month, and said with a smile: "Do you want to add some kind of punishment?"
"Eh"
Miyazawa Maki opened her mouth, a little confused.
"That's normal, right? Who would play a card game without some kind of punishment?"
Ayano Yui looked at Sawayama Haruno, grinned and said, "What do you think, brother?"
".I think you guys can just have fun."
"Don't talk." Miyazawa Maki turned around and gave him a bad look.
"What kind of punishment?"
Ezaki Suguha spoke at the right time, "Do you want to transfer money?"
"Forget about the money, how about taking off your clothes as punishment?"
Ayano Yui stuck out her tongue and said with a grin, "We are all girls anyway, so we are not afraid of this, right?"
“Well, I’m a boy.”
"Strip punishment? But I..."
"What kind of punishment is this?"
Miyazawa Maki wrinkled her nose and said unhappily, "Let's change to truth or dare."
"Then let's do this."
Ayano Yui immediately agreed, and did not forget to glance at Sawayama Haruno.
You can tell from the look in this guy's eyes that he is planning something bad, Sawayama Haruno thought helplessly.
But now he has been deprived of his "right to speak" and can only watch these three guys play together.
But soon, the situation became increasingly unfavorable for Maki Miyazawa.
Looking at the stack of "score cards" in front of Ezaki Suguha and Ayano Yui, she pouted a little unhappily.
"Damn, why is my luck so bad?" Miyazawa Maki muttered.
She now seriously suspected that someone sitting behind her had taken away all her good luck.
Thinking of this, Miyazawa Maki felt depressed, so she simply changed her sitting position to a duck position while Ezaki Suguha was drawing cards.
Then, while the other two weren't noticing, she began to gently kick Sawayama Haruno with her little feet that were leaning towards him.
No pain at all
Sawayama Haruno looked down at himself being kicked around by her little feet, feeling a little helpless.
It's more like flirting.
But it's true that Miyazawa Maki can't really use much strength sitting like that, so she's probably just complaining about her bad luck in dealing cards.
But he had no choice. This card game that relied purely on luck was not even useful for testing memory.
In desperation, Sawayama Haruno had to pat Miyazawa Maki's feet to comfort her.
But he seemed to have forgotten how amazing Miyazawa Maki's train of thought was.
"Well?!"
Miyazawa Maki's face instantly turned red.
Ezaki Suguha, who was sitting opposite him, had just taken out a bare card and was frowning and thinking hard when he noticed her expression.
"What's wrong, Maki?"
"No, it's nothing."
Miyazawa Maki said in a panic.
She couldn't just say that Haruno touched her feet and made her itchy!
Damn it, this guy had to touch the soles of my feet which are the most ticklish. It must be intentional.
Maki Miyazawa became even angrier, especially after she inspected her hand and took out a completely useless "miscellaneous card", her expression became even worse.
I want to bite someone
"Hey, does it look like I have good luck today?"
Ayano Yui on the side suddenly smiled and casually turned over the card she had just drawn onto the table.
It was a "Ono Michikaze" card, belonging to the month of November.
Ayano Yui said that the reason she had good luck was because there were three cards of the same month on the field, and she could just eat them all.
"what"
Miyazawa Maki's face darkened instantly. There were not many cards left in the deck. Although she had scored a few points, they were all combinations with very small scores. She could basically give up at this point.
"Maki-sister, why don't you just accept the punishment."
Ayano Yui obviously realized this, and she placed the remaining cards on the table, smiling and saying, "How about it, do you want to choose truth or dare?"
Miyazawa Maki didn't rush to answer her, but turned around and glared at Sawayama Haruno in shame and anger, then reluctantly said: "To be honest"
"it is good!"
Ayano Yui slammed the table and asked without giving anyone else any time to react: "Question: What kind of play makes you happiest?"
"Hey??"
Sawayama Haruno was confused.
How did we get to this topic for no reason?
"This is a girls' game."
Seeing that her brother's eyes had turned a little hostile, Ayano Yui immediately pretended to be innocent and said, "Isn't this how we girls chat in private?"
"If you don't ask these questions, then what's the point?"
"There are so many interesting questions, hurry up and apologize to the other girls," Sawayama Haruno protested.
But what Ayano Yui said seemed to make sense. I had heard about it when I was in college in my previous life. The conversations in the girls' dormitory after the lights were turned off at night seemed to be very casual. The so-called best friends are those who would discuss this kind of thing from time to time, right?
Oh, so
Wouldn't it be redundant for me to sit here now?
Ignoring the argument between Sawayama Haruno and Ayano Yui, Miyazawa Maki looked at Esaki Suguha, then lowered her head in some confusion.
"Probably, it's just role-playing?" she said vaguely.
Um.
In a sense, the behavior between her and Haruno can indeed be called role-playing, right?
The only difference is that the character she plays is not an anime character or a novel character, but her own sister.
"That's it. That's it."
Ayano Yui didn't seem to mind her somewhat vague answer.
The bad girl swung her pigtails in front of her, stroked her chin and said with a smile, "Now I don't have any problems. Now I can ask Suguha questions."
"me."
Ezaki Suguha pursed her lips.
What happened today began to replay in her mind scene by scene.
From the moment he realized the truth, to the revelation of his affair with Haruno, followed by his confession to Maki, and the strategy of "ignoring it for the time being" that they came up with.
Until now, I'm playing Hanafuda with others at Haruno's house.
Everything seemed like a dream, giving her a strong sense of unreality.
Obviously, she seduced Maki's boyfriend, and even if we don't mention this seduction, there is still the matter of Miyazawa Mana.
Is it really okay for me to just follow Maki's example and put all these depressing things behind me?
Ezaki Suguha became a little confused.
Looking at Miyazawa Maki sitting opposite her, and Sawayama Haruno behind her.
After a long silence, she slowly spoke: "Maji, is there anything you want to avoid, or any behavior you have avoided?"
"what"
Miyazawa Maki scratched his face and said in surprise: "Of course there is."
"Rather, I'm avoiding a lot of things. I told Suguha about it this afternoon, right?"
Miyazawa Maki moved her feet restlessly, and after secretly kicking Sawayama Haruno, she curled her lips and explained: "Some things, the more clearly you think about them, the more troublesome they will be."
"I'm the type who thinks people will be happier if they're a little confused occasionally." Maki Miyazawa said nonchalantly, playing with the ends of her hair. "People who care too much will never be happy."
She is indeed not the kind of character who is good at thinking, and most of the time she does things on impulse.
When I decided to seduce Sawayama Haruno, it was also a rash idea. But isn't she much happier now than when she was at home?
There is food, drinks, fun, friends, and I raise a kitten with my boyfriend.
There's nothing else to think about.
Although it was indeed annoying that Haruno was related to Suguha, on second thought, he could neither blame Suguha nor cut off his relationship with Haruno.
Then just keep the current status quo.
Besides, she had been mentally prepared before, as she was familiar with what the island country's literary masters were like.
"Is this so"
After hearing Miyazawa Maki's answer, Ezaki Suguha lowered his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.
She was a little hesitant inside, but she hadn't made up her mind yet.
Sawayama Haruno, who was sitting opposite her, naturally saw all her changes, but because there were other people present, he couldn't say much.
Ayano Yui observed the expressions of the people in the field with some curiosity. After seeing her brother's guilty and guilty look, she said, "How about playing next time?"
"Come again."
Miyazawa Maki instantly became excited, and while shuffling the cards she muttered, "I don't believe my luck will be this bad next time."
"Would you like to change seats?"
Ayano Yui looked at her with a smile.
"Maybe it can be transferred."
There is actually a similar belief in changing luck at the card table in island countries, but it is ultimately just a superstition. Unless there is a special reason, or you are playing with friends, you basically won't change positions during a normal card game.
"Switch or not."
Miyazawa Maki thought of Sawayama Haruno who was sitting behind her, and changed her tone: "Let's play like this for now, it's just the first round."
Humph, it was just a temporary failure just now. A master doesn’t win the first round!
We will let these two know who is the uncrowned king of Hanafuda cards!
