Zongman: Dream with me

Chapter 167 What are you afraid of?

"What kind of relationship?" Mu You looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka in confusion, "Didn't she explain it to you?"

"What a joke!" Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at Mu You with contempt.

"I remember that 'Irena' was the protagonist of a comic book. Both the name and the appearance are very similar! Oh, and I think you were the author of that comic book, right?"

Mu You looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka in surprise, his brows twitching slightly, as if he was a little surprised that the other party could break free from his psychological suggestion so quickly, but this was also related to the fact that he did not do anything too excessive.

That's right, a witch who claimed to be from another world was not questioned on the spot because Mu You's aura of reducing intelligence was very good.

However, the teacher had actually seen his work...

"What? Can't adults read comics? Oh, right, I remember now. I remember that comic was discontinued halfway through, and the author seemed to have been offered a reward by fans for it..."

Mu You looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka, whose eyes were gradually becoming dangerous, took a step back, and said in a slightly flattering tone: "Why don't we get back to the matter of Irena."

"Okay," Hiratsuka Shizuka crossed her arms over her chest, as if ready to listen to his nonsense, "I want to see what you have in mind."

"Actually, Irena is an orphan..." And so, Mu You began to eloquently fabricate an origin story for this Miss Irena who had suddenly arrived in this world - how her parents died when she was young, and she was cared for by her relatives. She suffered from delusions and always imagined herself as a witch who loved traveling, and Mu You was her travel companion...

Mu You, out of pity for this girl, drew a comic for her called "Witch's Journey".

"Then why didn't you paint anymore?"

Mu You: “…”

Is this the crux of the matter? Isn't the important thing the lovely yet pitiful girl in the story?

"Because... when she told me the story, she only talked about this part." Mu You put the blame on a certain apprentice witch without hesitation.

"Alas..." Hiratsuka Shizuka sighed, "I don't care about what happened in the past. What are you going to do next?"

Mu You felt relieved by Shizuka Hiratsuka's reaction. It seemed that his psychological suggestion was effective. Although the other party might not believe his nonsense, the fact that he no longer pursued the matter showed great trust in him.

"What else can we do? Just keep her in for a while and see." Mu You didn't have any good solution for Irena's problem, but he absolutely couldn't let her run away. She was his precious experimental subject!

"Okay, now that this problem is solved, let's move on to the next topic." Shizuka Hiratsuka said, patting Mu You's shoulders with both hands, causing his body to tremble.

Mu You raised his head and found that Hiratsuka Shizuka was looking into his eyes seriously, trying to see through him, "Tell me, did you bully Yukino?"

"..."

Did something happen again? Seeing Hiratsuka Shizuka's look of accusation, Mu You almost thought that Yukinoshita had secretly reported him... But then Mu You realized that this was Yukinoshita Yukino. With her inflexible personality, how could she possibly perform such a sophisticated move?

"If you don't tell me, it seems you are guilty!"

"Hey, Xiaojing, your partiality is too obvious. Wait, do you want to talk about something..."

As Mu You was talking, a pair of large hands suddenly held his cheeks and began to rub them vigorously, and someone's extremely resentful voice came to his ears.

"Xiao Jing, Xiao Jing, Xiao Jing! How dare you say that? Now you think I'm your teacher? Why didn't you act like this when you asked me for leave? You even dared to threaten me with transferring schools? Now you know how to make demands on me?!"

Well, it can be seen that Shizuka Hiratsuka still has a lot of resentment towards Mu You, so Mu You did not choose to resist, but let him ravage her obediently. Of course, it is also possible that he was blinded.

After a long while, Hiratsuka Shizuka finally let go of Mu You. Feeling much better, she lit another cigarette for herself, ignoring Mu You's toothache expression...

"So what's going on between you and Yukinoshita? That guy seems a little absent-minded lately." Shizuka Hiratsuka asked, blowing a puff of smoke into the air.

“…Maybe I can’t accept some things.”

Mu You recalled what he had done to Xue No. He just told her some truths. As for the result... he didn't think too much about it.

Is that really the case? But what kind of conflict would make this girl who has always been true to herself ask the question, "If the name Yukinoshita Yukino is gone, who would she be?"

Looking at Hiratsuka Shizuka's thoughtful look, Mu You realized that something seemed to have happened to Yukinoshita during the time he was away, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Kasugano-san, what do you think of Yukinoshita?" Shizuka Hiratsuka did not answer Mu You's question, but asked a question that was completely irrelevant.

"What do you mean?" Mu You was a little confused, but seeing Hiratsuka Shizuka pretending to be a riddle, he lowered his head and thought for a while, "Hmm... beautiful? Cute? Kind?"

"Everyone can give compliments, but what else can we do?"

"Venomous, stubborn, and especially vindictive!" Mu You couldn't help but think of the other party's overflowing aggressiveness when he first met Xue No. If he hadn't really lost his memory, he might have been nagged by the other party for a long time.

"No one in this world is perfect. So, apart from these objective evaluations, what is your subjective judgment of Yukinoshita?" Hiratsuka Shizuka began to coax her.

"Subjective? It's fine. What's wrong?"

Hiratsuka Shizu: "..."

"...You don't just want to ask me this question, do you?" Mu You looked at the frozen Hiratsuka Shizuka and asked guiltily.

The latter turned around because she was afraid that she would be unable to resist taking action when she saw the heartless guy in front of her. This guy was indeed a bastard!

Mu You found this even more strange, because he had clearly discussed this matter with Shizuka Hiratsuka, and he had solemnly stated that he was greedy for Yukinoshita's body, and that it would be dangerous to put him and her together. He wanted to use this to persuade Shizuka Hiratsuka to give up her idea of ​​having the light music club and the service club in the same classroom.

Why are you angry now? You didn't do anything to harm Yukinoshita.

"Kasugano-san, you still don't understand the distortion in your heart. I remember you already have a girlfriend..." Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at the endless night in the distance, with a hint of fatigue in her words.

"Well, but what's so twisted about this? I remember I confessed to you that I am a 'flirtatious' guy, and I was even punished by the Iron Fist for openly molesting my teacher."

Mu You tilted his head and tried to change the subject, but Shizuka Hiratsuka didn't react to him at all and didn't even look at him.

"Young men adore women, young women are in love with women; it's human nature. Even if they're fickle, it's not a big deal."

"But you're different, You. You're always too frank. Whether it's your desires or your inner feelings, you'll reveal them without reservation, exposing them to the sun.

But why? Whether it's a vague longing or a selfish possession, it's all part of your inner thoughts. Why are you so eager to reveal it? Even if it will cause many unnecessary misunderstandings.

Shizuka Hiratsuka turned her head and looked at Mu You's somewhat dazed body.

"Kasugano-san, what exactly are you afraid of?"
