Chapter 290 Mana finally discovered the problem School cafeteria, seat by the window on the second floor. Mine Shiori followed Miyazawa Mana and sat down carefully. Looking at the gentle smile on her face, the petite girl couldn't help but feel a little doubtful. "Um, Mana, do you have something to tell me?" "Ok?" Miyazawa Mana had just sat down and hadn't had time to put her bag away when she heard the other party's doubts. Slightly surprised, she raised her head and looked at the petite girl sitting in front of her. "It just feels like we haven't sat down and talked for a long time. Of course, there are some things that are also going on." Miyazawa Mana hesitated for a moment and added, "Shiori hasn't been attending the club's activities recently, so I thought we should have dinner together today since we have the chance." “So that’s how it is”
Mine Shiori pursed her lips and said a little embarrassedly: "Actually, I was planning to tell the president about my withdrawal in the next two days." "Huh? Why do you want to quit?" "Because I have a lot to do at work, I may not be able to go to the activity room to join the club anymore." "That's it" Miyazawa Mana nodded slightly. After a long silence, she suddenly asked, "Is Shiori's job at Kodansha to help guide Haruno's writing?" This was something she had wanted to ask for a long time, and she was able to confirm this through previous conversations between herself and Haruno, as well as the clues revealed by Mine Shiori. Sure enough, after hearing what she said, Mine Shiori immediately raised her head with a surprised expression. It was obvious that she had guessed it right. “Yes, indeed.” Mine Shiori hesitantly explained, "Because my current position is an intern editor, and my senior in the company is Haruno's editor, so..." "I know." Miyazawa Mana lowered her eyes and said softly, "I'm just asking out of curiosity. I don't mean anything else." "Um" Mine Shiori bit her lip lightly, feeling a little regretful about why she agreed to have dinner together. At this moment, there is always a strange feeling that the mistress is caught on the spot by the original wife. Although she knew very well that Mana and Haruno had broken up for a long time, she always felt guilty whenever she sat with them. Maybe it's because I've always had that kind of thought towards Haruno. Thinking of this, Mine Shiori's eyes dimmed a little. But before she could adjust herself, Miyazawa Mana, who was sitting opposite her, suddenly spoke. "Shiori likes Haruno too, right?"
She said something extraordinary as soon as she opened her mouth, but she continued without waiting for the other party to respond. "I still like Haruno until now. Even though so much time has passed and so many things have happened, I still can't help but like him now." "If I had a tail like a dog, I would be unable to hide my joy and would wag my tail non-stop, right?" She stared at the students passing by the window and muttered to herself: "I am secretly glad that I am not a dog, while lamenting my own stupidity." "Even so, I still feel very happy when I sit here and think about things related to Haruno." "." Mine Shiori's lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something. But she just felt that her throat was so dry that she couldn't speak, so she tried to swallow some saliva to moisten her throat. "cough cough" She succeeded in choking on her own clumsiness. The sudden violent cough brought Miyazawa Mana, who was still a little sad, back to reality. She subconsciously picked up the miso soup she had not yet drunk and handed it to the other party. After watching Mine Shiori take a small sip hastily, she couldn't help but smile. "Does Shiori feel the same way as I do?" "Hey, hey." Mine Shiori put the miso soup down again and was still thinking about how to hide her embarrassment, but after hearing Mana's question, she lowered her head embarrassedly. "Maybe, yes." "Do different people have the same feeling when they like the same person?" Miyazawa Mana sighed slightly. "I don't know." Mine Shiori said sullenly. She only felt more restless now. After all, the "original wife" had laid her cards straight in front of her, making her feel even more uncomfortable. Her personality is not suitable for sitting in such an occasion. It should be Suguha who comes. And whether in terms of personality or the relationship between the other party and Haruno, Suguha is more suitable to sit here than herself. "Don't you know? Actually, I went to have dinner with Shiori to talk about something." Miyazawa Mana pursed her lips and whispered, "Because there are some things I don't know how to mention to outsiders. After thinking about it, I feel that it would be better to tell Shiori." There was no way he could tell Reina Kamimura about what happened between him and Haruno, or about Maki. Because the other party will definitely not understand. But if the target is Mine Shiori, it will be different. The other person also likes Haruno, and has liked her for a long time, so he can probably understand how he feels now. What's more, Mine Shiori seems to have a gentle personality and should be a good listener.
She couldn't tell these words to anyone else, but she could try to share them with Mine Shiori. "Before, I told Shiori about my sister, right?" Miyazawa Mana whispered. "Yeah, I remember." Mine Shiori nodded with some hesitation. This incident happened several months ago. At that time, she didn't know that Mana actually had a twin sister. "A few days ago, I had some conflicts with her, which could be considered a quarrel." Miyazawa Mana was distracted for a moment, and murmured, "It's about Haruno." ".Eh?" Mine Shiori looked at her somewhat blankly. In the next ten minutes, Miyazawa Mana told Mine Shiori everything that had happened recently. After subtracting some things that were difficult to describe, she almost showed the problems between them without reservation. After hearing the end, Mine Shiori's initial surprise and confusion gradually turned into gloomy numbness. "So, Maki is Haruno's girlfriend now, right? And Suguha?" "Ah." Miyazawa Mana nodded tiredly. She didn't notice anything wrong in Mine Shiori's tone, and continued to say dejectedly, "I was originally planning to distance myself from Haruno and let them be together, but what Haruno's sister said to me forced me to pay attention." "Indeed. If he leaves like this without caring about anything, Haruno will get hurt, right?" Mine Shiori whispered. Although Haruno is usually very reliable, he still feels sad when something like this happens. What's more, Miyazawa Mana didn't consider his feelings at all at that time, but just blindly gave in to the two of them according to her own inner thoughts. Mine Shiori put herself in Haruno's shoes and imagined that if she were Haruno, she would definitely not be able to accept being treated like this. "So, I want to ask Shiori, what do you think I should do now?" "I don't know either" Mine Shiori hesitated for a moment and whispered, "If it were me, I would probably just work hard in silence." All along, she seemed to have no particular hope of winning this game of love. So she had been following behind silently, trying her best not to be too far away from Haruno. Even if there was no possibility of winning, she hoped that she could stand closer and watch the other party. I am currently doing my internship at Kodansha, and I hope I can help Haruno with her work. Just things like this were enough to satisfy her. So when Mana asked what to do, Mine Shiori didn't know how to answer. The two of them fell into a rare silence, and the large clock on the wall of the cafeteria was ticking away every second.
It was unknown how long it had been before Mine Shiori whispered, "Mana, are you thinking too much?" ".What's the meaning?" "That's literally what it means." Mine Shiori explained vaguely: "What you just said is that you have always been thinking about Haruno and your sister, right?" "In this case, I think you'd better think about yourself. No matter what your sister and Haruno think, just do what you really think in your heart." "Your sister probably wouldn't want you to keep giving in to her for such reasons, right?" Mine Shiori added. The sudden words made Miyazawa Mana stunned. Such familiar words made what happened in Macau that day replay in her mind once again. “Think about yourself.” Miyazawa Mana lowered her head, looking dazed. She seemed to understand why Maki had always hated her so much. On the other side, in a high-end apartment building in Shinjuku District, Tokyo. After returning home, Zeshan Haruno first cleaned the cat litter for Salmon Maru, and then replenished new cat food and water. Then he slowly sat down and prepared to rest. However, Ezaki Suguha came over at this time and asked, "Haruno, do you have any cotton swabs at home?" "Yes, it's in the drawer under the TV." "Thanks." Suguha Ezaki smiled at him, then went to the TV to look for a cotton swab. However, there are four drawers in total, and the things inside have not been cleaned up for a long time, so they are now a bit messy. In the end, after seeing that she had been searching for a long time without finding it, Sawayama Haruno took the initiative to stand up and help her get the cotton swab box out. "Do you want to clean your ears?" "Yeah, it's a little itchy. I wonder if I accidentally got it when I was washing my hair this morning." "Do you want my help?" Sawayama Haruno shook the cotton swab box in his hand and said with a smile, "It's hard for you to see, right?" “Isn’t this a bit too much trouble?” Suguha Esaki was still a little hesitant, but Haruno Sawayama had already taken out a new tool box from the drawer. After taking the cotton swab, he pushed Ezaki Suguha to sit in front of the sofa. "Just lie on my lap." He said with a smile. (End of this chapter)
