Chapter 22 I hate treating breakups as a joke
After ordering food with the waiter, Sawayama Haruno picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip.
He was thinking about how to talk about Maki. Not only did he have to find a way to solve this problem, but he also had to think about how to find out the "truth".
Even if you can't ask, you must at least get some useful information, so that the system's mission should be able to change again.
However, this kind of thing involves the privacy of the other party's family. Haruno Sawayama felt that it would be a bit impolite to ask directly. Fortunately, Miyazawa Mana, who was sitting opposite, could easily see through his inner thoughts.
As a gentle sister, she just pondered for a moment before taking the initiative to ask: "Maki hasn't caused you too much trouble in the past two days, has she?"
".Trouble can't be mentioned."
Sawayama Haruno's eyes wandered for a moment, and for some reason the first thing he thought of was the charming scene this afternoon.
Maki Miyazawa leaned against her body softly and gently sucked her index finger. The addictive taste seemed to be still fresh in her memory even now.
The main reason why she has such a vivid memory is because there is a person who looks exactly like her sitting opposite her.
Just thinking about this point, it seems that you can figure out that Miyazawa Mana is actually serving him extremely tenderly.
What's more, the other person's temperament is the type that will be obedient to the person he likes. You can see this when you were dating in the past, otherwise Miyazawa Mana, who is a good girl, would not be able to follow him. Traveling to other places makes it even less likely that you will have a deeper relationship with yourself.
"What's wrong? You look a little strange."
Miyazawa Mana, who was sitting opposite, was a little puzzled. She thought it was her sister who had caused a lot of trouble to the other party, and there was a hint of guilt in her eyes when she looked at him again.
"Maki must be acting petty again. It was because of this that she quarreled with her mother and ended up running away from home." Miyazawa Mana sighed slightly, "This may also have something to do with me, before entering higher school. I failed to notice the change in her mentality, which resulted in what she is now.”
". It has something to do with you, but I think it's her own problem."
Haruno Sawayama picked up the water glass and took two big gulps to suppress the inexplicable "irritability" in his heart.
He cleared his throat and whispered: "At noon today, Maki came to school. A classmate may have mistaken her for you and dragged her over to eat together."
"Eh? Could it be that she also bumped into Haruno?"
"Well, I was also having dinner with my friends at that time, and then we sat together."
Sawayama Haruno paused, showed a helpless smile and explained: "She said some things that shouldn't be said in front of other people. It happened when we were traveling in Atami. You may find out after you go to school next week. Heard the rumors.”
"Atami?"
Miyazawa Mana was obviously stunned for a moment.
What happened? She remembered that she didn't tell Maki.
No, it's not that I haven't said it before, it's just that the other party doesn't want to hear it.
"What did she say?" Miyazawa Mana said hesitantly, "Did she go against me and say something that would make Haruno very embarrassed?"
"I'm fine. It doesn't have any impact on me. It's just not a good idea to let her talk nonsense like this." Haruno Sawayama shrugged and pretended to be relaxed, "You might as well worry about yourself. She will be there at noon." It’s really too much.”
"Really, this guy Maki"
Miyazawa Mana puffed up her face and looked a little angry.
But Haruno Sawayama, who knew her well, knew that the other person's appearance was just pretending. In fact, it was impossible for her to be angry with her twin sister.
Unlike Maki who hates her sister, Mana cherishes her sister, but even if she cherishes her, it is sometimes difficult to notice.
For example, when she was in high school, Mana Miyazawa neglected her sister's repressed heart because of herself. In the third grade, she prepared for the entrance exam with all her strength. She didn't react until Maki Miyazawa completely started to give up on herself, but at that time she also It's too late. But even so, Mana has never given up on each other. Judging from her various attitudes, she undoubtedly regards Maki as the closest person.
In other words, the "secret" Maki said may really be Mana's inner thoughts, which she secretly told her twin sisters.
Do you want to ask the other party here?
Asking the truth behind the breakup, is it related to this strange hobby?
"I said, Mana"
Sawayama Haruno's eyes darkened slightly, and his voice lowered unconsciously.
"It may be too late to ask now, but I feel that if I don't ask clearly, I will always be obsessed with this in the future, so..."
"Um?"
Miyazawa Mana tilted her head, a little confused.
"Why did you break up with me in the first place?" Haruno Sawayama said softly.
He chose to show his cards directly and ask the other party, because there was no need to go around the bush. Miyazawa Mana knew him too well. Even if he held back and didn't ask, the other party would see through his inner thoughts if he chatted for a few more words.
"Why break up"
After hearing Sawayama Haruno's inquiry, Miyazawa Mana was obviously startled.
She gently tightened the tie at her collar, showing a somewhat troubled expression.
The pair of jade legs that were covered under the dining table were twisting around in embarrassment at this moment, as if to express the girl's embarrassment.
"How do you say this?"
Miyazawa Mana looked away for the first time in a long time. She bit her lips and struggled for a long time before slowly saying, "Why are you asking this now?"
"Can't you ask?"
"No, it doesn't mean that you can't ask." Miyazawa Mana's little hand loosened and tightened, and finally she showed a helpless smile and said, "Because, when she said she wanted to break up before, Haruno agreed without even a moment's hesitation. It’s too much to ask me why we broke up until now.”
"You know me so well, so you should know that I am the kind of person who hates treating breakups as a joke, right?"
Sawayama Haruno said softly: "Since you know this so well, you still want to talk about it, so I agreed so simply at that time."
"Yes, I know this myself," Miyazawa Mana murmured.
The little hands that were originally clenching the collar moved to the ends of her hair at some point.
While playing with her long, silky hair with her fingers, she gently swayed her beautiful legs under the dining table, looking like a confused and confused girl.
But when the words came out of her mouth, her intentions seemed extremely clear.
"Did Maki say something?"
"Things between Haruno and me."
She tilted her head again, looking at Haruno Sawayama with an unexplainable look in her eyes.
"I guess it was Maki who told you the truth about why they broke up in the first place based on her own conjecture?"
