Chapter 738: Game
When the two saw each other, they greeted each other, but inwardly, they looked down on each other.
Mitaka thought that Sorata was just a coward and a strange kid since what Sorata could do was just stare at the girl that he liked. Even worse, Sorata had made the girl he liked feel disgusted at him.
Mitaka felt sorry but was happy to stay with such a person since it made him feel better. It made him feel better to know that in this world, someone was lower than him.
Sorata also felt the same since before he left Sakurasou, he learned a lot of things from the other tenants, and he knew how Mitaka was in love with Misaki, but Mitaka didn"t dare to confess his feeling.
In the end, Mitaka ran away and escaped.
Knowing this, Sorata also felt better knowing Mitaka was such a person since this made him comfortable knowing that someone was lower than him.
When the two met, they smiled and sat next to each other naturally, feeling happy to see each other.
They talked briefly about how they had been since meeting each other as they showed superficial care before Mitaka asked, "You"re also interested in their game?"
"...yeah."
However, Sorata"s face was uncomfortable as he clenched his fists, waiting for the game to start.
After hearing the talk show of Kuzuki Fujisawa, he realized what he wanted to do. He was no longer like before, who didn"t know to do anything and thought he, himself, was nothing but an ordinary guy who had just studied at the university before he graduated and worked like the others.
His day was no longer monochrome, and it was so bright since he knew what he wanted to do.
By now, he realized that as long as someone worked hard, they could do anything.
He had this belief.
No, at this moment, he was in a high state.
If Shishio saw Sorata, he would only stare at him helplessly since Sorata"s current state was like someone who had just finished a self-improvement seminar, MLM talk, or insurance talk. When people joined such a thing and listened to the voice of their leaders, they would be full of excitement. They would think they could do anything, including becoming a millionaire.
However, such a thing only happened for a moment.
It was impossible for a human to stay high all the time.
Naturally, some could maintain their high state but were only a few people.
The majority of people? They could only let themselves be drowned by depravity.
Still, if Sorata could change, then everything was good, whether it was for him or his family.
As for Shishio, he wouldn"t do anything since, from the beginning to the end, he had never thought much of Sorata, especially when, in the future, they would be two people who were living in two different worlds.
While it was unfair, Shishio had a system, so he was just a living cheat in this world, so if Sorata could be happy, he would say it was good for him.
By now, Sorata wondered what kind of game the Sakurasou was going to make, and at the same time, no matter what kind of game they were going to exhibit, he thought that he could do better.
"Yes, I can do better!"
His eyes were blazing with fire while thinking of a bright future where Ryuunosuke, Shiina, and many others begged him to make a game.
"Hahaha...!"
His mouth curled into a smile as he thought he was invincible.
Mitaka saw all of this before he looked away while wondering why this kid was so weird.
On the other hand, besides Mitaka and Sorata, there were many others who had come.
His girlfriends were natural, and all of them came.
Chihiro also came with Hiratsuka and Hina, waiting for the exhibition to start, but suddenly someone called her.
"Hiratsuka-san? Chihiro?"
Chihiro and Hiratsuka turned before they saw a familiar person.
"Fujisawa?" 2x
"Who?" Hina was confused.
Kuzuki was a bit surprised that Chihiro called him by his family name, but they had parted ways for a while, so he felt it should be normal that their relationship becomes awkward. Yet, he couldn"t help but think that she had become so cold. Still, he had to say the three of them were beautiful, and it had been a while since they had seen each other, so he was quite surprised and happy.
"It"s Chihiro"s ex."
"Oh."
Hina also had an ex-boyfriend, so her reaction was rather normal, and she didn"t think too much.
"Can I sit here?" Kuzuki still maintained his smile as he was about to sit naturally, but...
"No." 2x
Hiratsuka and Hina answered at the same time.
"..." Kuzuki.
"Though, you should ask Chihiro." Hiratsuka looked at Chihiro, wondering what she was going to say. After all, before they had parted, their relationship was rather close.
Kuzuki also looked at Chihiro, waiting for her answer.
"Sorry." Chihiro apologized and said, "You should search for a different seat. I don"t want my boyfriend to misunderstand."
"...."
Kuzuki stared at Chihiro for a moment in a daze, shocked before he showed a bitter smile, but he knew that everything was his fault. He chose his career over hers, so he couldn"t say anything.
"I see... that"s a shame, then I will sit somewhere."
Still, Kuzuki thought for a moment and asked, "By the way, do you want to have a drink after this?"
When something is unattainable, they become more attractive.
"Sorry. I am busy tonight until the future," Chihiro said with a sweet smile.
In other words, don"t bother me again.
"O-Oh... I see... then, it can"t be helped. See you then." Kuzuki walked away awkwardly and sighed in regret.
Chihiro didn"t say anything since she didn"t feel anything. She felt like Kuzuki was like any other guy on the street, and soon, she might forget his face. As of now, every memory she shared with Kuzuki was erased by Shishio before she shook her head, blushing since she realized her panties were wet.
"Chihiro, did you get a boyfriend?"
"Why didn"t you tell us?"
Hiratsuka and Hina looked at Chihiro with dissatisfaction since she didn"t say anything.
Chihiro was quite awkward since how could she tell them since the man she mentioned was her nephew?
If they knew their relationship, what kind of face would they show?
Disgust?
Her heart stopped for a moment before she said awkwardly, "I am lying, you idiot. Where can I get a guy when I stay with all of you all the time?"
"...." 2x
Hiratsuka and Hina looked at each other before they nodded.
"Well, that"s true."
"Yeah, you have been hanging with us all the time. It should be impossible for you to get a boyfriend."
"....."
Chihiro dug her nails into the armrest, watching the two laughing at her annoyedly, thinking that they were b.i.t.c.h, but she let out a long sigh since it was impossible for her to tell her relationship with Shishio.
"I thought that you did it with Shishio, though."
"Huh? Why do you think so?" Chihiro"s heart almost stopped.
Hiratsuka looked at Chihiro speechlessly and said, "Chihiro, have you seen your face when I mentioned Shishio to you? You"re like a high school girl in love."
"Shut up! He is my nephew!"
"So, what if he is your nephew?"
"Huh? Do you think it is okay?" Chihiro looked at Hiratsuka in surprise.
"Hmm..." Hiratsuka thought for a moment and said, "To be honest, when I thought about it now, I can"t fully agree with it."
"I see..." Chihiro sighed while looking into the distance.
"As expected, our relationship is..."
"But... well, if it"s him, he might do you, though."
"I can imagine that."
The two talked about how wild Shishio was, and they knew that everything was possible.
Chihiro looked at the two before she fell into silence, thinking that their relationship could only be done in secret.
However, the hall became quiet since the game was about to start.
The game made by everyone in Sakurasou was something that everyone was looking forward to, so when they heard the announcement, they antic.i.p.ated it a lot.
Then, as expected, they were blown away.
Nanami walked out to the stage, leading everyone into a new world.
From the beginning to the end, their emotions were a mess. They were on an emotional roller coaster from high to low, from sad to happy. They were full of excitement and kept screaming along the way as they cheered the characters on the game.
His girlfriend was amazed, especially Yuigahama Hana, who watched his game with her daughter. She clapped her hands several times, showing how happy and proud she was.
However, while many were happy, many also showed shocked expressions of disbelief.
Sorata was in a daze and didn"t say anything from the beginning to the end, but even so, his heart was beating so fast. He almost couldn"t blink and kept watching this game from the beginning to the end before he came to a realization.
It was a similar realization that he came to when he played soccer in the past.
While he loved to play soccer, he realized that he wasn"t a genius, and no matter how hard he tried, it was impossible for him to become better.
By now, he also came to a similar realization, and he was at a loss since he knew the difference between a genius and hard work couldn"t be shorted with hard work alone.
Leaving this boy alone, the game ended, and all the crew teams of this game walked out one after another.
Everyone clapped their hands excitedly, watching all of them.
Whether Shiina, Ritsu, Ryuunosuke, Nanami, or Misaki, they were full of happiness and hugged him at the same time.
Still, at this moment, Shishio, who was hugged, felt something that made him frown, but he didn"t show it and just smiled, which caused all the people to squeal, making him helpless.
On the other hand, watching the excited crowd and hearing the cheers of all the people in the hall, Mitaka also came to a realization that he wanted to enjoy this scenery, and to do that, he had to go get Misaki.
"Yes, I love Misaki."
