Chapter 822
"You, you really did! Didn't Senior kill you?"
At the very least, Iroha Isshiki couldn't imagine how angry and ashamed Senior Yukinoshita would be if she found out.
For Senior to look unscathed and safe, he must have paid a huge price and made some very high promises!
Iroha Isshiki couldn't help but think.
"I'm living just fine, why would I be killed? Yukinoshita isn't that extreme. I'm actually more worried about your safety, Isshiki."
"Hmm? Why do you say that?"
"If you know this secret, Yukinoshita will silence you to prevent more people from knowing."
Iroha Isshiki's expression froze;
this was a warning not to talk nonsense.
"Senior should bear the main responsibility. If Senior hadn't told me, I wouldn't have to worry about this risk at all."
Iroha Isshiki immediately pushed the blame onto Lin Ye.
For Iroha Isshiki, this was her best excuse to shirk responsibility.
"I do have to take responsibility,"
Iroha Isshiki was surprised, but Lin Ye's next sentence made her expression change completely.
"So I've decided: I'll solve the trouble that is you, Isshiki, myself!"
As he finished speaking, Lin Ye stood up and looked down at Iroha Isshiki, who was sitting opposite him.
"No, don't! Senior, you can't do that."
Iroha Isshiki was so scared she curled up in the corner of the sofa, shivering.
Lin Ye smiled,
and Iroha Isshiki was smiling inside too.
She knew this was just a joke from Senior; she could tell the difference between reality and a joke.
"So, Senior, tell me who you went on a date with this weekend, and I'll forgive you."
A moment later, Iroha Isshiki spoke again.
"You won't believe it,"
"If you tell me, I'll believe it."
"Really?"
"Of course,"
Iroha Isshiki looked expectant.
"Sakurajima Mai."
"..."
After being stunned, Iroha Isshiki immediately clutched her stomach and laughed out loud, "Hahaha, Senior, you could at least find a reliable girl's name that people would believe,"
"Now, who doesn't know that Sakurajima Mai was in Akihabara yesterday and spent the night with her boyfriend? Where would she have had the chance to go on a date with Senior?"
"I think Senior was at most a bystander in Akihabara last night. Senior, it's normal to like Mai, but one should keep their feet on the ground and have fewer fantasies. Senior, you'd better consider Senior Yukinoshita instead!"
"The probability of Senior Yukinoshita becoming your girlfriend is much, much higher than Sakurajima Mai becoming your girlfriend."
This little devil-like junior was now starting to persuade him, hoping Lin Ye would have fewer fantasies, be more practical, and recognize his own situation.
Lin Ye was satisfied with this answer.
It showed that his disguise yesterday was successful. Iroha Isshiki had spent quite a bit of time with him privately, but she still hadn't been able to recognize that he, Lin Ye, was the male lead of the 'Akihabara Incident.'
Therefore, other people with more distant relationships wouldn't be able to recognize that he was the male lead of last night's incident.
Up to now, the only people who knew this secret, besides the participant Haruno, were Yukino and Hoshino Ai.
Others shouldn't be able to recognize him.
His normal daily life wouldn't be significantly affected.
His life would continue as usual.
"How about I introduce a girlfriend to Senior? Seeing as Senior is fantasizing that Sakurajima Mai is your girlfriend, Senior must be very thirsty and must really want a girlfriend."
At this point, Iroha Isshiki immediately made a gesture and continued, "I'm not included, Senior, don't get any ideas about me."
She even made an 'X' gesture.
"Not interested in you."
Iroha Isshiki suffered a critical hit and felt terrible. She sat on the sofa and muttered to herself, her sighing whispers expressing her complaints about Lin Ye.
Lin Ye, on the other hand, was in a great mood.
*Click... *
About twenty minutes passed,
and the front door opened again.
Fujibayashi Muku had returned.
She took off her shoes, placed them in the shoe cabinet, took off her coat, and hung it on the coat rack.
"Lin-kun, Isshiki-san, sorry, I'm late. I was supposed to be off today, but, but..."
Fujibayashi Muku walked toward the two, full of apologies, her words filled with regret.
"It's understandable. Muku went to the hospital to save lives; it's fine, don't worry about it."
"I admire and love Muku-nee-san, the angel in white, the most."
Iroha Isshiki switched to an intimate form of address.
She even hugged her sweetly, pulled Fujibayashi Muku to her side, and started pouring her heart out.
Especially when mentioning Lin Ye's fantasies, Iroha Isshiki emphasized them repeatedly.
However,
hearing this, Fujibayashi Muku couldn't help but look at Lin Ye, seeking an accurate answer from him.
She knew Lin Ye had many special abilities; disguising himself as a stranger was definitely not a difficult thing for him.
But Fujibayashi Muku didn't get a response from Lin Ye.
This, instead, confirmed the suspicion in her heart.
It was painful; the good mood from Lin-kun coming to visit today was all gone.
Lin Ye and Sakurajima Mai had become lovers and were already dating; what was she supposed to do?
Fujibayashi Muku's mood plummeted.
If she had known, if she had known, she should have been more proactive, expressed her feelings, and been more firm in opposing her sister's obstruction.
She had had too many concerns before—her sister's obstruction, the existence of Ren—these were the obstacles that had prevented her from firmly taking that step. And now, an even bigger obstacle had appeared.
High and insurmountable.
She, Fujibayashi Muku, had become a total loser.
Fujibayashi Kyou was still busy in the kitchen; from the kitchen, she could hear bits and pieces of the conversation between Lin Ye and Iroha Isshiki.
Besides sighing at the fact that the relationship between the two was beyond that of a normal senior and junior, she also noticed the name Lin Ye mentioned—Sakurajima Mai.
"It shouldn't be."
"How could it be Lin Ye!"
She didn't believe it either.
She had known about the Akihabara confession incident last night even though she was far away in Chiba, having learned about it through internet videos.
How could Lin Ye and Sakurajima Mai have any connection!
"Stop thinking about it,"
"It has nothing to do with me. What I need to do is do what I can do, and do what I need to do."
She reminded herself.
"Muku, come to the kitchen and help me."
Fujibayashi Kyou called out to Fujibayashi Muku, who was talking to Iroha Isshiki outside.
"I'm coming, sister."
Fujibayashi Muku immediately got up and headed to the kitchen;
the sisters were busy in the kitchen.
The living room was left with only Lin Ye and Iroha Isshiki.
"The sisters have a really good relationship,"
"If you had siblings, your relationship would be just as good."
