Tokyo Sick Girlfriend

Chapter 35 Inferiority Complex (Revised)
Unfortunately, fainting is out of the question; that would be too foolish, and fainting wouldn't completely solve the problem either.

A jumble of thoughts flashed through my mind.

Hojo Suzune couldn't help but feel a little strange at this moment.

She clearly checked his location when she got out of the car and he wasn't in this building. How did he suddenly appear here? Is it really such a coincidence?

It's all my sister's fault for having such a bad mouth!

If she hadn't made those promises so recklessly, she wouldn't have met Shiratori Seiya in this situation.

Panic almost overwhelmed her; at that moment, Hojo Suzune felt as if the world was ending.

If I meet his current girlfriend without his permission, it will definitely annoy him, right?
Despite telling my sister that I wanted to check things out, my argument was completely unfounded.

She didn't have any deep connection with him, and didn't have a legitimate identity at all...

Moreover, there are too many parts that don't make sense with Shiratori Seiya.

Why did I come to H University? Why did I meet Mio Takahashi? How did I get her contact information?
If you delve into every single issue, once he learns the truth, he might never speak to you again for the rest of his life.

Does this mean he's going to hate me?
The sadness and pain almost welled up in my eyes, accompanied by tears.

Hojo Suzune lowered her head, biting her lip and remaining silent.

Since nothing else works, just beg for mercy and then disappear quietly for a while.

I'll at least wait until Kiyoya has stopped caring about this and calmed down before I go out to see him and apologize...

Mio Takahashi noticed Hojo Suzune's change and couldn't help but smile. If it weren't for Shiratori Seiya coming over, she would have burst into laughter.

What's wrong with you? You were so arrogant just now, about to pounce on me. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought you were going to tear me apart.

As a result, he turned into this after meeting Shiratori Seiya.

It's really funny.

Mio Takahashi stood there, ready to see what kind of act this child could put on, and what her relationship with Seiya Shiratori really was.

She didn't plan to tell Shiratori Seiya what she had just said to her, since if she really had to deal with her in the future, she could use it as leverage against her.

As Takahashi Mio was thinking this, she saw Shiratori Seiya walk between the two of them, glance at her first, and ask:
"Why are you here?"

Mio Takahashi opened her mouth, then snapped out of her daze and was about to speak when Suzune Hojo interrupted her:

"Ah, Kiyoshi, I just happened to meet Ms. Takahashi here."

When Hojo Suzune said those words, her heart pounded, and a stiff smile appeared on her face.

Kiyoya must never find out about this.

Having made up her mind, she bit her lip, suppressing the grievances in her heart, and raised her eyes, casting a pleading look at Takahashi Mio.

Mio Takahashi saw this and was immediately surprised.

He was so arrogant just a moment ago, why is he acting like this now? Is he faking it or not?
Upon hearing what Hojo Suzune said, Shiratori Seiya couldn't help but shift his gaze to her.

Noticing the cold sweat on the girl's forehead and her flushed face, Shiratori Seiya narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but ask:
"Your fever has gone down?"

As he spoke, he reached out and touched the girl's forehead.

The fever persists; it seems it hasn't completely subsided.

"Lingyin, aren't you still sick? Why did you have to come all this way to deliver tickets?"

Ringtone?

Upon hearing this address, Mio Takahashi's ears twitched, and she raised her gaze to look at the girl in front of her, her mind racing.

I remembered Shiratori Seiya saying he would accompany Hojo Shione's sister to her birthday party...

Is this it?
Mio Takahashi frowned, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes as she looked at Seiya Shiratori.

Could it be that both sisters really like him?
"Eh?"

Hearing Shiratori Seiya say something completely different from what she had expected, Hojo Suzune looked up, a look of confusion in her eyes.

Tickets? What tickets?

Shiratori Seiya's gaze swept over Hojo Suzune and Takahashi Mio, urging them on:

"Give me the tickets your sister asked you to bring; I'll take you back now."

Hearing him say that, although she still didn't quite understand the situation, Hojo Suzune's little brain was working very fast at that moment, and she quickly replied:
"Oh, right, tickets."

It's better than being exposed and disliked by him.

She pretended to reach into her pants pocket.

However, when he put his hand into his pocket, it was empty; there were hardly any tickets.

Hojo Suzune's heart skipped a beat. She suddenly felt like she was falling off a cliff and grabbing a tree branch, thinking she was about to be saved, but the branch broke.

What ticket? I didn't bring any with me at all...

My sister didn't ask me to bring a ticket. "What's wrong?"

Her head was still a little dizzy, but she still tried her best to muster the last bit of her intelligence. Hojo Suzune lowered her head and said aggrievedly:

"I...I think I left in the car..."

"Then let's go, I'll take you home now..."

With a cold expression, Shiratori Seiya didn't have time to explain to Takahashi Mio before reaching out to grab Hojo Suzune's arm.

However, he had only taken two steps forward when he suddenly stopped.

A familiar figure came into view.

'Huff, huff...'

The girl, wearing a mask and a baseball cap, ran over.

She seemed to have run very fast, and when she finally stopped in front of the three of them, she bent over and supported herself on her knees.

"Really..."

Before she could catch her breath, Hojo Shione's complaining voice rang out in the air.

The moment he heard the girl's voice, before Shiratori Seiya could react, Takahashi Mio's pupils constricted sharply as she stared intently at the girl in front of her.

Although the other person was wearing a mask and a baseball cap, as a loyal fan of Hojo Shione, she naturally recognized her.

"Rin, I know you want to see Seiya one last time... but isn't this a bit too hasty? You even left your ticket on the train..."

Hojo Shione took a deep breath, then straightened up and handed the ticket in her hand to Shiratori Seiya.

"..."

Looking at the girl in front of him, Shiratori Seiya frowned, didn't take the ticket, and stared into her eyes, asking in return:
"What are you doing here?"

"Eh?"

Seemingly completely unprepared for Shiratori Seiya's words, Hojo Shione paused for a moment, then a smile appeared in her eyes, and her deliberately casual tone came through the mask:

"Kiyoya, are you worried about me? It's okay, I'm wearing a mask, no one should be able to recognize me, right?"

As she spoke, Hojo Shione turned to look around, finally fixing her gaze on Takahashi Mio's face and said:

"Look, if anyone recognized me, there would probably be a huge group of people following me right now, right?"

It was indeed as she said; there was no one behind her at all.

But Shiratori Seiya still remembered the incident with the photos from last time, and took the ticket from her hand, saying directly:
"Alright, the tickets have been delivered. Hurry back. Lingyin's illness hasn't improved at all, and you're already letting her out. You're being a rather irresponsible older sister."

"Okay, I'll take her to the hospital right away."

Hojo Shione nodded as she spoke, her gaze never leaving Takahashi Mio, and she narrowed her eyes as she said:

"This must be your girlfriend, Kiyoya, right?"

Mio Takahashi opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.

Some people, you can sense the difference just by looking at them.

Even while wearing a mask and a baseball cap, Hojo Shione's demeanor still made her feel ashamed of herself.

A wave of inferiority suddenly welled up in her heart, making her unable to utter the words of affirmation she wanted to say.

"It really is beautiful. Kiyoya, you have excellent taste."

Hojo Shione offered a compliment, then extended her hand, saying:

"Nice to meet you. I'm Hojo Shione, this guy's ex-girlfriend."

Mio Takahashi opened her mouth, her gaze shifting from her hand to hers, before finally reaching out and taking it in hers, her tone complex as she said:

"I know you, I'm your fan."

"Eh? Is that so?"

Hojo Shione blinked, then a look of surprise flashed in her eyes as she chuckled softly:
"Then I'm really lucky. Did you and Kiyoya come together today?"

Mio Takahashi gave her a deep look, remained silent for a moment, then shook her head and said, "No, it was just a coincidence."

"What a coincidence!"

Hojo Shione sighed, then winked at her and said:
"Then you and Kiyoya must come to my concert. I'll be very happy if you come."

"..."

Mio Takahashi remained silent.

Sensing the tense atmosphere between the two, and noticing the glances from those around them, Shiratori Seiya's expression darkened, and he said coldly:
"Is this how you act as an older sister? You're happy to be photographed by paparazzi while running around everywhere?"
