"..."

Sakakibara closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Aling."

"What? Have you calmed down?"

"Who do you think I am?"

"...Who is that person?" Sakakihara Suzu's eyes drifted into the distance and she thought for a moment, "A bad person! But a good bad person."

"Why do you think I took such good care of you since I was a child?"

"...Because we are brother and sister?"

"Then how well do you think other brothers in the family take care of you when I take care of you?"

"...That's definitely not the case... My current personality is also what you are used to... You are so good at taking care of others..."

"Then what do you think of my character?"

"What review...?"

Sakakihara Suzu hesitated, she didn't understand why her brother asked this.

But it's not like she hasn't thought about this issue before.

So she quickly bit her lip, looked at him and replied:

"I was raised by you, what can I say? Can I say that your character is useless or completely rotten? Impossible... That would deny my existence as a person... accept you

For taking so much care of me and receiving your care for so many years...not to thank you, but to deny your character, is the biggest fallacy in the world. So...my evaluation is - no matter what other people think,

Anyway, I like it!”

The lobby downstairs of the apartment is regarded as a casual coffee shop. Many people sit here drinking coffee and enjoying the plum rain.

So Sakakihara Suzu felt extremely ashamed to say such words so loudly.

She was so ashamed that her face turned red.

It's indeed... quite shameful to have such family-level "likes" expressed so loudly by family members.

Most families in this world are embarrassed to even say "I love you" to their closest relatives.

Ah Ling is still a public figure, if these words were photographed by someone and posted online.

It’s definitely going to hit the internet.

So when she said this, she was willing to risk everything.

"So, Aling, you also recognize my character, right?"

Sakakihara Suzu closed her eyes, opened her hands, and shouted hesitantly:

"No, no, that's right! Although sometimes you are very bad, but that's the kind of person you are... If you have to say there's something wrong with you, it's just that you don't control your distance from other people! You're a standard scumbag!

"

"Now that Suzu thinks so, she also understands and understands what kind of character I am. As Sakakibara Raku, I should also carry out Sakakibara Raku's character to the end, right?"

Only then did Sakakihara Suzu realize what he meant when he said this, "...What do you mean?"

"Things are very simple and clear. People just have to be themselves. Since I can't care about Yuki anymore, since I still feel nostalgic for the past days, and since I can't bear to see her become like that...then it should be

Follow your heart and take her back."

"What! You bastard!...Although I support you..."

Sakakihara Suzu muttered a little, and then immediately said righteously, "But what about Sister Qiyue and Sister Liuli? They treat you like this! If you dare to go up and say this today, I will only be able to do it in the next few decades."

I saw what a jerk you were when we were diving in Tokyo Bay!”

"It's not a conflict."

"...? What are you talking about? This is basically a conflict, okay?"

Raku Sakakibara spoke calmly, "Azu, it's like what I just said. You recognize my character. Through our past interactions, and through what Qijiu said to me after school this afternoon, I can be 100% sure.

...Qijiu likes my personality.

“If I can’t even be ‘myself’ perfectly, and if I’m still hesitant about my inner thoughts, how can I take on the identity of Sakakibara Raku?

"In other words, what Qijiu likes is me who loves them, who can sympathize with and care about them... If I have lost my ability to care and sympathize with others, how can I shoulder the responsibility for them?"

My like?"

...?

What does this say?

Sakakihara Suzu didn't quite understand.

Is this guy talking about the "if I don't do it, then I'm not me" kind of thing?

"...I don't understand what you are saying, but is this the reason why you want to betray Sister Qiyue and Sister Liuli? Although I hope so, I still hope that you can have a legitimate reason and choose the right time, not now.

.”

"A Ling, I've said it before, this is not a betrayal of Qijiu. In addition, let me explain to you what I mean again. If...if I choose to abandon my sympathy and choose to ignore Zhixue, then it is equivalent to denial.

Get over yourself... It's not like you don't know about me and Qiyue Liuli. I accept them, and they like me... Wasn't it because I chose to sympathize with their experiences? If I didn't even sympathize with them,

If this mentality is lost, will I no longer have any resonance or emotional communication with them in the future?"

...

Okay, so hard to think about.

Sakakihara Suzu found that even if she racked her brains, it was difficult to fully understand what he meant.

Wait a moment...

Let’s start with what my brother said at the beginning.

one,

Brother, he believes that his character includes the qualities of compassion and caring for others, and believes that this is the basis for his emotional resonance with Sister Qiyue and Sister Liuli.

two,

Brother also thinks that if he chooses to abandon compassion and ignore Yuki's situation, he will deny his past self.

Brother accepts Sister Qiyue and Sister Liuli and helps them out of sympathy for their plight. If he loses his sympathy, the resonance and emotional communication between him and them will also disappear.

three,

Brother believes that as his "Sakakibara Raku", he should be himself and follow his inner thoughts. He couldn't care about Yuki, so he decided to take her back and implement his own character and heart...

In summary.

I want to firmly be myself, stick to my character and heart, and at the same time implement the qualities of compassion and concern for others into my actions...

seemingly...

It makes some sense.

This is also a commendable idea - "Stick to being yourself."

However, when facing Qiyue and Liuli, betrayal cannot be avoided no matter what... What is my brother planning to do now——

"Huh? Where's my... brother?"

Suzu Sakakihara thought hard for a long time, and then suddenly realized that the person standing in front of her was gone.

She immediately turned her head to look at the LED panel of the elevator next to her.

Found the number above, just jumped to "14".

"It's... it's finished."

Sakakihara Suzu's pupils shrank, she quickly went to the elevator next to her and kept pressing the door button to go upstairs.

When the elevator slowly came up from the underground garage, Sakakihara Suzu was horrified to find that the elevator her brother was riding in had already reached the sixteenth floor.

"Quick...quick, quick..."

As soon as the elevator door opened, Sakakihara Suzu hurriedly walked in regardless of the group of people inside.

Quickly press the button on level 16.

3rd floor, 5th floor, 8th floor, 9th floor...

Every time the elevator paused on a floor, Sakakihara Suzu felt her heartbeat speed up a lot.

Looking for death... Someone's behavior is clearly looking for death...

Not only Sister Qiyue and Sister Liuli, but also if my uncle knew about this.

Are you afraid that you will never contact him again in this life?

don't want...

Although I want Yuki to go home, it doesn't end like this.
To be continued...
