Chapter 962: Lost

Sayaka stood before the window, gazing at the scenery below, silent and wordless.

"Hey, if you really want to see him, then just go! What are you afraid of?" Sakura Kyoko, who was chewing on a Pocky stick to the side, sat carelessly on the window ledge, banking on the fact that others could not see her.

Sayaka looked toward the direction of the playground; on the playground was Kamijou Kyousuke, who had just returned to school. He was currently surrounded by a crowd of people, seemingly talking about something very happily with the others.

Just at this moment, a girl with a flushed face suddenly stepped forward, abruptly shoved something in her hand into Kamijou Kyousuke's hand, and then turned and ran away.

Seeing the object in Kamijou Kyousuke's hand, Sayaka subconsciously gripped the window ledge she was holding; because in Kamijou Kyousuke's hand, it was clearly a pink letter. As for what this pink letter represented, it was impossible for Sayaka not to understand.

"Yo-ho, this guy seems to be quite popular after all!" Sakura Kyoko could not help but chuckle aloud.

Seemingly because the first person had taken action, for a time, several more girls shyly shoved the letters in their hands into Kamijou Kyousuke's hand, then ran away quickly.

"Eh, what's wrong with you? If you like him, then do the same as them! After all, you've already sacrificed so much for him, becoming a Magical Girl, so expressing your feelings to him is a very normal thing, right?" Sakura Kyoko nudged the Sayaka beside her.

Sayaka shook her head slightly, then lowered her head and returned to her seat. After talking with Sakura Kyoko last night, she had also thought about many things. In fact, after becoming a Magical Girl, in a certain sense, she was already not a person of the same world as Kamijou Kyousuke. Just as Sakura Kyoko said, in this world, besides other Magical Girls, she had no other peers.

Whether it was when fighting the Witch of the Box or when fighting Sakura Kyoko, she had already discovered that her body had undergone huge changes compared to her original body; in a certain sense, it could no longer be considered within the category of humans.

Moreover, the path of a Magical Girl is very dangerous; Tomoe Mami was once almost killed right in front of her. Sakura Kyoko's past experiences also surfaced in front of her from time to time; the things her father did after learning of Sakura Kyoko's actions made her feel terrified. If one day Kamijou Kyousuke learned of her identity as a Magical Girl, she dared not imagine what he would do.

Thinking of this, Sayaka could not help but reveal a bitter smile. Although the wish she made healed Kamijou Kyousuke's hand, it quietly drew an invisible chasm between the two of them.

"Kyoko, I want to go find the teacher..." Sayaka said to Sakura Kyoko.

"Ah? Don't you still have class?" Before Sakura Kyoko could recover her senses, she was dragged by Sayaka toward the direction of the faculty office.

"So, you ran to my place just because you were in a bad mood?" Lingyun placed a glass of water in front of Sayaka.

"Clearly, I was already happy seeing Kamijou-kun's hand recover, but now, I find that my mood doesn't seem to be like that..." Sayaka's hand gripped the water glass as she said in a low voice.

"I, this matter, I suppose I had some expectations of it," Lingyun said softly.

"Expectations?" Sayaka looked at Lingyun with some surprise.

"Let's put it this way: in fact, from the very beginning, I didn't think highly of you and Kamijou Kyousuke," Lingyun said.

"Is that so..." Sayaka could not help but lower her head. "So that's why you, Teacher, said at the beginning that I would regret it?"

"Kamijou Kyousuke is a rich young master; he has money if he wants money, looks if he wants looks, and talent if he wants talent. Under these circumstances, there should be many girls who like him. As for you, Sayaka, the relationship between you and Kamijou Kyousuke can at most be considered childhood sweethearts, and you have never expressed your feelings in front of him. Most importantly, the childhood sweetheart often loses to the newcomer!"

"The childhood sweetheart loses to the newcomer?"

"Now let's make a hypothesis: if someone were to confess to Kamijou Kyousuke right now, and he accepted it, what would your current state of mind be?" Lingyun's words made Sayaka's face turn pale.

"Th-this..." Sayaka stepped back a few paces, her face full of loss.

"Hey, Teacher, asking the current Sayaka to answer this kind of thing is too difficult!" Sakura Kyoko suddenly stepped forward and pulled Sayaka behind her.

"Kyoko..." Sayaka looked at Sakura Kyoko standing in front of her, her eyes dazed.

"Eh, I didn't expect that in such a short time, the relationship between you two would have made such great progress!" Lingyun looked at the two and could not help but raise his eyebrows.

"Hey, is now the time to care about that?" Sakura Kyoko said with a look of annoyance.

"In my heart, that kid named Kamijou Kyousuke is not nearly as important as the two of you!" Lingyun said indifferently.

"You, what are you saying?" Hearing Lingyun say this, a trace of astonishment could not help but appear on Sakura Kyoko's face.

"Isn't this a very normal thing? To me, Kamijou Kyousuke is just a stranger, while you two are people I know. Having a bias in how I treat people is quite normal, isn't it?" Lingyun spread his hands and said.

"Mm, saying it like that doesn't seem to have anything wrong with it." Sakura Kyoko nodded, clearly agreeing with Lingyun's statement.

"Actually, there is still one method now!" Lingyun said to Sayaka with a smile.

"What method?"

"It's quite simple, too. Why don't you just go and confess to Kamijou Kyousuke right now? If Kamijou Kyousuke likes you and accepts you directly, then everything will be fine! If he doesn't accept you, then this matter can also be concluded, right?" Lingyun said.

"But, but, this..." Sayaka stammered, her face covered in a blush, not knowing what she should say.

Watching Sayaka's hesitant appearance, Lingyun could not help but sigh slightly. With Sayaka's personality, asking her to go and confess to Kamijou Kyousuke seemed a bit too difficult for her.

"Go back and think about it carefully." Lingyun reached out and patted Sayaka's head. "I know this kind of thing isn't easy for you, but it's better to resolve it as soon as possible!"

"I understand, Teacher..." Sayaka lowered her head, thanked Lingyun, and then quickly left the faculty office.

"A young girl in love during this period is truly troublesome!" Lingyun sighed slightly, then turned and looked toward the direction of the sky.
