The system hesitated for a moment. Logically speaking, it should stop the host's unrestrained behavior in time, especially when Matsuda Jinpei, one of several "untime bombs", was sitting opposite.

But it thought of the host's lost state as he walked down the street just now.

System: "...Host, don't be too nervous. I'm watching over you. If something happens, or you say something you shouldn't say, I'll wake you up."

In the short period of time that Furukawa Kumisa was talking to the system, Matsuda Jinpei on the opposite side didn't know what she understood by her "silence".

He sighed, then raised his head and drank all the wine in the glass.

"Forget it, you don't have to say it, I understand."

After saying that, he uncorked the bottle and filled it again for himself.

Furukawa Kumisa's mind was eroded by alcohol and was a little confused:...?? No, wait, what do you understand? I haven't said anything yet?

But Matsuda Jinpei didn't seem to want her to speak, so Furukawa Kumisa obediently stopped talking and drank quietly.

Two people with their own thoughts were drinking silently at the same table. The bright and colorful lights could not dissipate the stagnant atmosphere. In the bustling crowd, they were the only two silently drinking wine one after another.

Finally, it was Matsuda Jinpei who broke the silence. He slammed his wine glass on the table. Furukawa Kumisa was so frightened by the loud noise that he almost jumped up.

Then she saw him leaning forward, almost across the entire table, and coming right in front of her eyes. From such a close distance, she could almost smell the alcohol on his body.

"Why didn't you choose me?"

His voice was so soft that he could hardly be heard in the noisy bar.

Furukawa Kumisa was stunned for a moment: "Wha, what?"

He stared at her and asked clearly, "You said you liked me and loved me, why didn't you count?"

system:!!!

When the system heard this sentence, everything went wrong. It was almost certain that Furukawa Kumisa had fallen off her horse again, and subconsciously wanted to wake her up.

Then it reacted: ...it seems that it didn't hear the prompt to clear the favorability level?

He thought for a while and decided to observe for a while longer.

And Furukawa Kumisa didn't know what he was thinking - or maybe he had given up thinking due to the erosion of alcohol, and he actually spoke his true words with such a big tongue: "...because you are so good."

System:...??Wait, shouldn't we deny it now?

It waited for a while and found that it still hadn't received the prompt to clear the favorability level.

But with the way Matsuda Jinpei looks like this... it feels like her identity has almost been determined.

The system rarely feels that its database is not enough: What is the situation now?

And Matsuda Jinpei over there was also stunned - the system felt right, he had indeed determined her identity a long time ago.

Even earlier than anyone else, he had already determined her identity when he saw her ordering fruit tea before going to Hokkaido.

Now that he heard Furukawa Kumisa's words, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Laughing at her for not denying his suspicion, crying that she actually gave him such a reason.

Matsuda Jinpei felt that he couldn't laugh or cry: "I'm so good...what's the reason?"

Is this some new kind of good guy card?

Furukawa Kumisa ignored his question. He just looked at him with misty eyes, and then repeated seriously: "You are too kind... You are all too kind to me, I can't..."

Then he started to shake his head stubbornly.

Matsuda Jinpei didn't understand: "It's good for you, isn't it bad?"

Furukawa Kumisa ignored him, just shook his head stubbornly, and reached out to push Matsuda Jinpei away, who was approaching him: "You are all too good...so good...don't be so nice to me...

…don't want……"

Matsuda Jinpei: ...I don’t understand, but I’m a little shocked. Did she even call you “we”?

Matsuda Jinpei thought he could drink well, at least he didn't talk nonsense like the guy opposite him who was so drunk that he was delirious.

He softened his tone and began to persuade: "Why shouldn't I be nice to you?"

For a long time after she left, he blamed himself - he blamed himself for not doing enough and not being good enough to her. He should have been more considerate and better to her when she was still there.

But now she was drunk in front of him and plausibly accused him of being "too good to me".

She heard his question clearly, and then her unclear mind began to think about the answer to the question.

Finally, she came up with the answer in a daze: "Because... I'm not worth it."

She approached them with purpose, used them, deceived them wantonly, and controlled their emotions. She didn't deserve what they did to her.

Matsuda Jinpei frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

He seemed a little angry after hearing what she said. He stretched out his hand to hold her face. Her cheeks turned abnormally red due to drunkenness, and even her eyes shone with misty water.

"I don't know who you are talking about, but to me, there is no one in this world who deserves my kindness to you more than you."

His tone was firm, like an oath, "You are worthy, you are the only worthy person in this world."

Furukawa Kumisa didn't know whether she heard it or not. She just shook her head stubbornly: "No, no, I'm not worth it..."

Seeing her giving up on herself, Matsuda Jinpei felt a little headache.

But she was too drunk now to hear anything, so he let her go and took out his cell phone.

"Forget it, you are so drunk, go home first. Where is your home?"

Furukawa Kumisa just looked at him with drunken eyes and did not answer his questions.

He snapped his fingers before her dazed eyes, trying to wake her up: "Where is your home?"

Furukawa Kumisa heard it clearly this time. She looked at Matsuda Jinpei, and then shook her head again: "I have no home."

She has been without a home for many years.

Matsuda Jinpei sighed and decided not to challenge the drunkard's sanity.

He thought for a while, picked up his cell phone and made a call.

Five minutes later, Toru Amuro's cell phone rang on the other side of Tokyo.

He took a look and saw that it was Matsuda Jinpei's mobile phone number.

Due to his special status now, he rarely contacts his past friends, and Matsuda Jinpei is one of them.

But at such a late night, he suddenly called himself. Could it be that there was something urgent?

He answered the phone: "Hello, Matsuda?"

Then he heard noisy music and voices on the phone, as well as Matsuda Jinpei's somewhat drunken voice.

"Your girlfriend is drunk, come here and take her home."

Toru Amuro:......

Toru Amuro:???

Matsuda Jinpei on the other end of the phone ignored Toru Amuro's silence and directly reported the address of the bar, then waited for his reply.

Toru Amuro was torn between "Matsuda Jinpei was drunk and acting crazy" and "Matsuda Jinpei must have his reasons for saying this", but decided to choose the latter and trust his friend.

He took a deep breath and calmed down: "Before that, can you tell me who you are talking about?"

Matsuda Jinpei on the other end exploded instantly: "How many girlfriends do you have??"

Toru Amuro:......

The case was solved, he was drunk and acting crazy.

An hour later, Toru Amuro drove to the address mentioned by Matsuda Jinpei, and then saw Matsuda Jinpei waving to him at the corner of the bar.

...Across from him, Furukawa Kumisa was already drinking and lying on the table.

Toru Amuro:...It was really not unexpected at all.

He walked forward, greeted Matsuda Jinpei, and then said, "What's going on?"

Toru Amuro's eyes swept across the table and paused for a moment on the bottle of bourbon.

When Matsuda Jinpei met him, he had almost sobered up. He sat next to him, drinking lemonade, and summed up the cause and effect in a concise manner.

"...In the end, I didn't expect that this person had such a bad drinking capacity. He was already delirious after just two drinks."

Although the "she" in Matsuda Jinpei's memory was not someone who would never get drunk after a thousand drinks, her drinking capacity was not that bad, so she didn't expect such a thing to happen at first.

He continued: "I wanted to ask her where her home was, but she was so drunk that she would just yell -"

Matsuda Jinpei triggered the keyword "home", and Furukawa Kumisa, who was lying on the opposite side, started again, "Home, there is no home... there is no home..."

Matsuda Jinpei shrugged: "——This sentence."

Toru Amuro glanced at Furukawa Kumisa who was lying softly on the table and sighed.

Matsuda Jinpei didn't know, but he was clear.

For Furukawa Kumisa, the apartment prepared for her by the organization may indeed not be her "home" to her.

But only at this time will she reveal her true feelings.
