Chapter 22 I hate treating breakup as a joke
After ordering from the waiter, Sawayama Haruno picked up the glass of water on the table and took a sip.
He was thinking about how to talk about Maki. Not only did he have to find a way to solve this problem, but he also had to think about how to get out the "truth".
Even if the answer cannot be obtained, at least some useful information can be obtained, so that the system's task should be able to change again.
However, this matter involves the privacy of the other party's family after all. Sawayama Haruno felt that it would be a bit impolite to ask directly. Fortunately, Miyazawa Mana, who was sitting opposite him, easily saw through his inner thoughts.
As a gentle sister, she hesitated for a moment before asking, "Has Maki caused you too much trouble these past two days?"
".It's not that troublesome."
Sawayama Haruno's eyes wandered for a moment, and for some reason the first thing he thought of was the beauty of this afternoon.
Maki Miyazawa leaned softly on him, sucking his index finger gently. The irresistible feeling seemed to be still fresh in his memory.
The main reason why she doesn't remember it clearly is that there was someone who looked exactly like her sitting opposite her.
Just by thinking along this line, it seems that one can imagine that it is actually Miyazawa Mana who is serving him extremely gently.
What's more, the other person's personality is the type that will obey the person he likes. This can be seen when we were dating before. Otherwise, as a good girl, Miyazawa Mana would never have gone on a trip with him, let alone had a further relationship with him.
"What's wrong? You look a little strange."
Mana Miyazawa, who was sitting opposite, was a little puzzled. She thought that it was her sister who had caused the other party a lot of trouble, and when she looked at her again, there was a lot of guilt in her eyes.
"Maki must have been acting like a spoiled brat again. That's why she had a fight with her mother and ended up running away from home." Miyazawa Mana sighed slightly, "This may have something to do with me too. I didn't notice the change in her mentality before she entered higher education, and ended up like this."
".She said it had something to do with you, but I think it was her own problem."
Sawayama Haruno picked up the water cup and took two big gulps to suppress the inexplicable "irritability" in his heart.
He cleared his throat and whispered, "At noon today, Maki came to school. A classmate might have mistaken her for you and dragged her over to eat together."
"Huh? Could it be that she ran into Haruno again?"
"Well, I was having dinner with my friends at the time, and then we sat together."
Sawayama Haruno paused, then smiled helplessly and explained, "She said something she shouldn't have said in front of other people. It happened when we were traveling in Atami before. You may hear these rumors when you go to school next week."
"Atami?"
Miyazawa Mana was obviously stunned for a moment.
What happened? She remembered that she had not told Maki.
No, it’s not that I didn’t say it, but the other party didn’t want to hear it.
"What did she say?" Miyazawa Mana hesitated, "She didn't say anything to embarrass Haruno against my will?"
"I'm fine. It doesn't affect me. But it's not good to let her talk nonsense like that." Zeshan Haruno shrugged and said casually, "You should worry about yourself. What she said at noon was really too much."
"Really, this guy Maki"
Miyazawa Mana puffed up her cheeks and looked a little angry.
But Sawayama Haruno, who knew her well, knew that she was just pretending and that in fact it was impossible for her to be angry with her twin sister.
Unlike Maki who hates her sister, Mana cherishes her sister, but even if she cherishes her, there are times when she finds it difficult to notice.
For example, when she was in high school, Mana Miyazawa neglected her sister's depressed heart because of herself, and in the third grade, she was fully preparing for the entrance examination. It was not until Miyazawa Maki completely gave up on herself that she realized it, but it was too late. But even so, Mana never gave up on her. Judging from her various attitudes, she undoubtedly regarded Maki as the closest person.
In other words, the "secret" that Maki told might really be Mana's inner thoughts, which she herself told her twin sister implicitly.
Do you want to ask the other party here?
When asked about the truth behind the breakup, was it related to this somewhat bizarre habit?
"I said, Mana."
Sawayama Haruno's eyes darkened slightly, and his voice unconsciously lowered.
"It may be a little too late to ask now, but I feel that if I don't ask clearly, I will always be entangled in this issue in the future, so."
"Ok?"
Miyazawa Mana tilted her head, a little confused.
"Why did you break up with me in the first place?" Sawayama Haruno asked softly.
He chose to ask the other party directly because there was no need to beat around the bush. Miyazawa Mana knew him too well. Even if he held back and didn't ask, the other party would see through his inner thoughts if he chatted for a few more sentences.
"Why do we need to break up?"
After hearing Sawayama Haruno's question, Miyazawa Mana was obviously stunned.
She gently grasped the small tie at her collar, revealing a somewhat troubled expression.
The pair of beautiful legs that were covered under the dining table were twisting and turning somewhat embarrassedly, as if expressing the girl's embarrassment.
"Well, how do I put it?"
Miyazawa Mana looked away for the first time in a long time. She bit her lip and hesitated for a long time before slowly saying, "Why are you asking this now?"
"Can't you ask?"
"No, it's not that I can't ask." Miyazawa Mana's hands loosened and tightened, and finally she showed a helpless smile and said, "Because, when I said I wanted to break up before, Haruno agreed without hesitation. It's too much to ask me why we broke up now."
"Since you know me so well, you should know that I am the kind of person who hates to treat breakups as a joke, right?"
Zeshan Haruno said softly: "Since you are so clear about this, but you still want to bring it up, that's why I agreed so straightforwardly at that time."
"Yes, I know this myself," Miyazawa Mana murmured.
The little hand that was originally clenching the collar had moved to the ends of the hair without anyone noticing.
She was playing with her soft long hair with her fingers and gently shaking her beautiful legs under the table. She looked like a confused and tangled girl.
But the words that came out of her mouth made her intentions very clear.
"Did Maki say something?"
"What happened between Haruno and I."
She tilted her head again, and when she looked at Sawayama Haruno, there was something indescribable in her eyes.
"I guess it should be Maki who tells you the truth about why you broke up in the first place based on her own guesses?"
