Chapter 42 Maki's Little Trick
Sawayama Haruno's worries were probably unnecessary.
After eating the dessert, Maki Miyazawa did not show any abnormality.
When other dishes were served, she took photos with her mobile phone from time to time and complained about Mana's bad taste.
"So, isn't it okay to just eat what you like?"
Seeing that Miyazawa Maki looked unhappy, Sawayama Haruno spoke.
"If you really don't want to eat, forget it."
"Don't worry about it."
Miyazawa Maki hummed softly and took another picture of the food with her phone.
Of course, she took the photo with great care.
The photo shows half of Sawayama Haruno, who is sitting opposite, but without showing his face. It is one of those photos where you know that the other person is a man, but you don’t know who he is exactly.
However, considering that the person she was sending it to was Mana, there was basically no possibility that she would not recognize the man in the photo.
On the contrary, this feeling of half certainty and half doubt makes people even more uneasy.
To give a simple example, a newlywed wife sees photos of her husband fooling around, but does not have sufficient evidence, so she begins to deceive herself, thinking that her husband would not do that and that he still loves her.
Mana must have had the same thought after seeing what I sent her, right?
Miyazawa Maki's breathing became rapid again, and her beautiful eyes were staring moistly at Sawayama Haruno who was sitting across from the dining table.
"I said."
She suddenly lowered her voice and asked, "What does it feel like to bring my sister-in-law to this place?"
"Is that all you want to know?"
Hearing this, Zeshan Haruno put down the knife and fork in his hand and said helplessly: "Don't talk about this while eating, okay?"
"No, I want to hear it now."
Miyazawa Maki insisted, "Hurry up and tell me, I have already helped you contact that junior high school classmate."
".It would be a lie to say it wasn't exciting, but I also felt a strange sense of guilt. Besides this, there was another complex emotion."
Sawayama Haruno took a tissue, wiped his mouth and said, "To put it simply, it's the same feeling a normal person would have, because a normal person wouldn't eat alone with their ex's sister, right?"
"Then, after we get home."
Maki Miyazawa deliberately used provocative eyes to try to seduce Haruno Sawayama.
Unfortunately, the phone in her hand made a "click" sound again. Even the dumbest person would know what she was doing.
What's more, Sawayama Haruno would not be fooled by such a small matter.
"Have you finished filming?" he asked bluntly, "I will tell your sister the truth."
"Just say it."
Miyazawa Maki sneered.
She was not afraid of such threats from the other party.
Because she actually knew early on that with Mana's intelligence, she would be able to figure out the truth of the matter quickly, but given Mana's personality, she was the kind of person who would feel uncomfortable alone even if she figured it out.
After all, she is now truly hooking up with her brother-in-law. Although they haven't officially taken that step yet, they have taken intimate actions, have gone on dates and had meals together, and have even been living together for several days.
Putting aside the facts, who can say that they are not secretly dating now?
No, steal.
That's the more correct word, right?
Miyazawa Maki became even more excited.
However, before she could chat more with Sawayama Haruno, the cell phone in her hand suddenly vibrated for no reason.
She glanced at the message on the screen, paused for a moment, and stopped fantasizing. She quickly typed on the phone keyboard with both hands. "What's wrong?"
Seeing that Miyazawa Maki suddenly stopped talking, Sawayama Haruno asked casually.
I thought the other party would impatiently evade the question, but I never expected that the next second he would turn the phone over and show me the chat history.
"She got back to me."
Miyazawa Maki said calmly, "The answer is called Arashika Private Girls' High School. Is that ok now?"
"Ranhua?"
Sawayama Haruno was shocked.
Without bothering to continue eating the unfinished food, he grabbed Miyazawa Maki's slightly pale wrist and quickly scanned the messages on his phone.
Ignoring the sarcastic words at the beginning, the answer given in the last sentence of the message is indeed "Arashika Private Girls' High School".
"I actually went to the same school as Shiori."
Sawayama Haruno was distracted for a moment.
Although when he heard what Miyazawa Maki said at noon, he had some guesses that the female classmate might have come to inquire about him because of Mine Shiori.
But when the answer was really in front of him, he was still a little surprised.
At the same time, a bold but perhaps somewhat narcissistic idea appeared in Sawayama Haruno's mind.
After all, Mine Shiori even asked another girl from the same school to inquire about her, so it seems that this kind of "secret love" is quite reasonable?
Otherwise, what other reason is there that would make the other party go to so much trouble to come and ask?
In this case, the "fuzzy memory" that the system mentioned should refer to this incident, right?
Sawayama Haruno let go of Miyazawa Maki's hand and subconsciously glanced at his cell phone.
It did not light up due to the notification message, which means that no money was transferred to my card.
——The mission is not yet completed.
"Is it all right now?"
Miyazawa Maki, who was sitting opposite, was a little unhappy again. She rubbed her wrists and hummed softly, "Is there anything else you want to know? If not, I will continue to block her. I really don't want to chat with her for even a second."
".There's no need to block classmates, right?"
"Didn't you see that she was being sarcastic to me just now?" Miyazawa Maki said indignantly, "If it wasn't for..."
Halfway through her words, she swallowed them back as if she had suddenly realized something, and said stiffly: "If it weren't for the purpose of settling the "remuneration", I wouldn't have added this annoying guy back."
"Yeah."
"if not?"
Miyazawa Maki looked away.
The phone vibrated twice again. After taking a look, she seemed to regain her confidence from her blunt tone and continued impatiently: "Now she is asking me why I asked her where her high school was."
"Damn it, this acne-faced woman is still being sarcastic to me, saying that she heard from others that I gave up my studies and became a NEET."
"."
Sawayama Haruno thought, isn't this the truth?
However, since the other party asked back, he probably noticed something.
After all, a classmate who I don't get along with on weekdays suddenly added my contact information back today and asked such a strange question.
In that case, why not just confess directly to the other party?
After all, he also hoped to further obtain the truth about the Golden Week incident through the other party.
If you just meet the other person once, maybe you will know what "fuzzy memory" is.
But would Maki Miyazawa be willing to do me this favor?
Help her date the classmate she hates
