Chapter 54 Shiori’s Family Matters [Monday, please read and ask for monthly tickets]
Sawayama Haruno's analysis is well-founded.
Thinking carefully about what happened last week, he just picked up an old necklace on the road, and asked Feng Shiori to insist on treating him to dinner to express his gratitude. This shows that the other party is the kind of person who cares about kindness no matter how big or small it is. .
In this case, he helped her before, avoiding the possibility of her falling and losing her appearance. Isn't this a greater kindness?
Logically speaking, even if Mine Shiori would not invite him to dinner, at worst she would thank him in person.
But the other party did not do this. Obviously there is a deeper reason here.
And he only needed to determine the approximate scope. Even if Shuase Natsuko didn't tell him, he could find other people to ask.
After all, the time and place, as well as the protagonist and supporting characters, and even part of the context of the matter have been finalized. It is not easy to find out the remaining truth.
With this idea in mind, Sawayama Haruno decided to make the final test.
"That is to say, I only want..."
"Enough!"
Shuase Natsuko suddenly interrupted Sawayama Haruno.
She bit her lip, her expression looking a little angry but as if there was nothing she could do to the other party. In the end, everything turned into a sigh.
"You are actually right. Your analysis of Shiori is also correct. She is indeed the kind of person who has to repay even a small favor."
"Actually, after hearing that you had a girlfriend, she gave up her intention to express her feelings, but her love cannot be left intact, so she planned to express her secret love as well."
At this point, Shuze Nazuko paused and added: "It's not the kind of confession that requires your response, it's probably a thank you letter or something."
"What happens after that?"
Sawayama Haruno asked in a low voice.
"Something did happen, but it wasn't Shiori's doing. It was forced. That kind of thing happened."
Shuze Nazuko sighed several times and explained: "You have already guessed this. It doesn't matter whether I admit it or not, because you can probably know about it even if you ask other people in the private school."
"What specific matter is it?"
"Shiori's family affairs." Shuase Natsuko played with the small silver spoon and said slowly, "It has to do with the family, and it must have caused a big blow."
"Family affairs."
Sawayama Haruno recited it softly.
Looking at Shuase Natsuko's faintly sympathetic look, he seemed to have guessed something.
"How can it affect her expressing her gratitude to me if it's not only family matters?" Haruno Sawayama hesitated for a moment, "Besides, this is not the reason why she can't say it, right?"
"Well, you have to ask Shiori."
Shuase Natsuko smiled bitterly: "I've told you so much, are you planning not to ask me what I think at all?"
".I see."
Sawayama Haruno's eyes lowered slightly.
What the other party said made sense. It was time for him to communicate with Shiori, but he needed to think carefully about how to communicate.
Otherwise, it would always seem a bit presumptuous to ask about other people's past events, or past events involving family.
But fortunately, he was the one who picked up the old necklace. Maybe he could use this opportunity to tentatively ask?
If his guess was correct, the "Shiori's family affairs" mentioned by Shuase Natsuko was probably related to Shiori's mother.
It's no wonder that after picking up the necklace, the other party changed the relationship of "nodding acquaintance" in the past, took the initiative to say hello and offered to treat him in return.
After all, that old necklace had real meaning to Mine Shiori. different. Buzz-buzz-
The mobile phone next to the table lit up again.
Haruno Sawayama, who had reached the point where he had nothing to talk about, subconsciously glanced at the past. After scanning the bank's payment text message, he saw that the person who sent him the message was a very familiar guy.
——That is the "culprit" why he is sitting here, chatting with strange female classmates.
"Shiori."
Zeshan Haruno was slightly startled.
Could it be that the other party discovered that he was meeting Natsuko Shuase? No, how are you going to find out about this
Kusese Natsuko doesn’t seem like the person who would tell Shiori about this.
Let's see what the other party says first.
Sawayama Haruno clicked on LINE's page and discovered that Mine Shiori had sent him two or three messages about ten minutes ago.
It was just that at that time, he was "analyzing" Mine Shiori's past with Kusese Natsuko, and he failed to notice the vibrating sound of his cell phone.
Although the messages sent by the other party were not very long, there were about four or five in number. Only after reading them all did Haruno Sawayama understand what happened.
"Sneak camera, security room."
"A fight started??"
Seeing the information that Maki Miyazawa was suspected of taking action, Sawayama Haruno's heart suddenly tightened.
"Sorry, Juse-san"
Sawayama Haruno stood up immediately and said: "I have something to do, so I have to leave first."
"Eh. Oh okay."
Kuseze Natsuko nodded belatedly, and when Haruno Sawayama hurriedly walked out, she reacted and shouted: "Remember what you promised me, the photo!"
Sawayama Haruno didn't reply to her, just waved his hand.
Inside the mall security room.
The security guard has locked the man in black into the utility room, contacted the police on behalf of Maki Miyazawa, and is now on his way.
The three girls sitting outside the security room, staring with big eyes, seemed eerily quiet.
Suguha Esaki stared at Maki Miyazawa, wondering what she was thinking.
Mine Shiori glanced at Maki Miyazawa from time to time, and looked at her mobile phone from time to time, as if expecting someone to arrive.
As for Maki Miyazawa, she stared back at Suguha Esaki with the same "not to be outdone" attitude.
Of course, it's not that she hates him.
In fact, she thinks this guy is pretty cool.
He actually jumped down from his seat upstairs. This is so cool. Most girls can't do this, right?
I really want to ask the other party’s name and express my gratitude. But she seems to be in the same group as Mine Shiori next to me. It feels weird to ask, because Mine Shiori will definitely join the chat.
“If I had known better, I wouldn’t have said strange things at noon that day.”
Maki Miyazawa thought.
Now she is sitting with Mine Shiori, feeling very embarrassed.
The other party should already know that she is not Mana, Haruno seemed to have said before that he would explain to the other party.
Alas, if we want to talk now, we will inevitably discuss Mana, so let’s not talk about it.
Maki Miyazawa curled his lips and chose to keep silent.
Fortunately, the eerie silence between the three people did not last long. Not long after, two hurried footsteps came from outside the security room.
