Didn’t you say you were just using me as a substitute?

Hayasaka Ai was stunned when she heard this.

indeed.

She has done this kind of thing many times.

There are always some short-sighted people who offend Shinomiya Kaguya. Sometimes, Shinomiya Kaguya doesn't even need to say anything, she will make things clear for that person.

Why does she now hate things that she used to take for granted?

"Hayasaka, you've changed."

210

Chapter 210 Let’s go on a date.

"Hayasaka, you've changed."

Before Hayasaka Ai could figure out the changes in herself, Shinomiya Kaguya told her the reason in one sentence.

As both a bystander and someone who grew up with her, Kaguya Shinomiya immediately noticed the changes in Hayasaka Ai.

The reason why Hayasaka Ai now feels that Shinomiya Kaguya is very strange and cold-blooded is that Hayasaka Ai no longer thinks about the problem from her perspective.

"You're not leaning towards me anymore."

People's hearts are always biased.

As long as one is human, he or she will have preferences and biases.

Just like when your friend and a stranger quarrel, everyone will subconsciously tend to side with their friend.

In the past, Hayasaka Ai preferred Shinomiya Kaguya, but now she prefers Kitahara Takashi.

When she began to look at the problem from Kitahara Takashi's perspective, she looked at Shinomiya Kaguya again, and of course she felt that the other party was too much and very indifferent.

"..."

Hayasaka Ai really wanted to say something in rebuttal. She had a lot to say in her heart, but when it came to her lips, there was only silence.

Like a mute with his throat strangled, unable to make a sound, Hayasaka Ai was unable to refute and was speechless.

Because when she thought about it carefully, she could no longer look at the problem from Kaguya Shinomiya's perspective, just as Kaguya Shinomiya said.

"Is Kitahara Takashi's charm really that great? That he's causing you all to fall for him one after another?"

Shinomiya Kaguya was puzzled.

She didn't understand what kind of magic Kitahara Tsutomu had.

He can make Kashiwagi Nagisa, Shijo Maki, Koyasu Tsubame, and Hayasaka Kaname all fascinated by him.

"...I don't know what the other girls think of Kitahara."

After a moment of silence, Hayasaka Ai slowly told the reason why she was close to Kitahara Takashi.

"But I can see my own shadow in Kitahara."

"He and I are like two identical puzzle pieces."

Hayasaka Ai longs for her mother's love, while Kitahara Takashi wants his father's approval.

Hayasaka Ai suffers from having to report to Shinomiya Huangguang every day about Kaguya Shinomiya's life, and Kitahara Takashi is similarly tormented by running around between each of the young ladies. (As Kitahara Takashi himself said.)

Hayasaka Ai longs for the day when she can escape from the Shinomiya family and gain true freedom, while Kitahara Takashi hopes that one day he will have the confidence to say no to anyone.

The two are so similar.

When two people with so many similarities meet each other, they will have a sense of belonging.

Two people who share the same suffering are more likely to be attracted to each other.

The relationship between Kitahara Takashi and Hayasaka Ai is just like the early male and female protagonists in "Bouquet of Love" that Kitahara Takashi and Kato Megumi watched when they had their first date. They are 100% compatible.

Hayasaka Ai used to watch decompression videos to vent her feelings every day, but now she rarely watches decompression videos. Every night, she holds her phone and chats with Kitahara Takashi for a long time.

She found that she could have endless topics to talk about with a person of the opposite sex.

"Hayasaka, how long have you known him?"

After hearing this, Kaguya Shinomiya was filled with anger, as if something she loved was taken away. She also began to develop a twisted jealousy towards Kitahara Takashi.

There is possessiveness in any relationship, including friendship.

"I've known you for more than ten years."

To Chika Fujiwara, Kaguya Shinomiya is her best friend.

But this is not the case for Kaguya Shinomiya.

For Kaguya Shinomiya, her best friend is Hayasaka Ai.

She and Hayasaka Ai have been accompanying each other since childhood, studying together, and living together. Their lives have long been intertwined, and no one can separate them.

Both of them regard each other as their only friend, but now Hayasaka Ai, the only friend, has a new friend.

Kaguya Shinomiya felt betrayed and cheated on.

It's like childhood sweethearts who grew up together and said they would be together forever, but when they entered high school, they were attracted by a transfer student who suddenly appeared from nowhere, and they became closer and closer to him, while he gradually drifted away from them.

"Miss Kaguya, this has nothing to do with how long we've known each other."

Hayasaka Ai gave a rather helpless smile.

For some reason, she always felt that the current Kaguya Shinomiya was just like his girlfriend's jealous and angry boyfriend who was hit on by someone else.

"What does that have to do with anything? Tell me!"

Shinomiya Kaguya seemed aggressive at this time.

There was one thing Hayasaka Ai was not wrong about, that was Shinomiya Kaguya was just jealous.

What Hayasaka Ai didn't know was that sometimes friendship, like love, cannot tolerate a third party.

Shinomiya Kaguya doesn't mind Hayasaka Ai having friends.

She also has friends, such as a certain bow.

This is something that Kaguya Shinomiya cannot tolerate. In Hayasaka Aina's opinion, Takashi Kitahara has a higher priority than her!

What does this mean?

This means that Kitahara Takashi is more important than her.

This is what she can't accept the most!

"soul!"

Hayasaka Ai answered with great earnestness and seriousness.

"There's a spiritual connection between me and Kitahara. Only in front of him can I be my true self."

"You mean, you've been pretending in front of me and can't be your true self?"

Shinomiya Kaguya suddenly raised her voice.

"..."

Hayasaka Ai fell silent again.

It is undeniable that she and Kaguya Shinomiya have the best relationship.

But in front of Kaguya Shinomiya, she was indeed pretending.

They were a master and a servant, a relationship that was unequal from the beginning. How could she be her true self?

"Why aren't you talking? Are you really pretending to be yourself in front of me?"

When Shinomiya Kaguya saw that Hayasaka Ai stopped talking, the cold aura emanating from her body caused the temperature in the entire restaurant to drop by several degrees.

Hayasaka Ai's heart tightened, worried that she might see something. She said helplessly, "I don't know what to say, Miss Kaguya. You are being unreasonable now."

"Am I being unreasonable?"

Shinomiya Kaguya was so angry that she laughed.

"Okay, I'll show you what unreasonable behavior is!"

The silver knife and fork slammed heavily on the table. Shinomiya Kaguya stood up from her chair and stared at Hayasaka Ai with her eyes that were the same color as the Uchiha family: "Hayasaka, from now on you must always stay by my side. I will not allow you to leave my sight."

"You can't go anywhere without my permission."

Resonating with Kitahara Tsutomu's soul, right?

it is good!

Then she will make your souls resonate for a lifetime!

I will prevent you from ever meeting each other and ever being together.

Shinomiya Kaguya has never been in love, but she has read in a book that the feelings between couples will fade if they don't see each other for a long time.

This is the case even for couples, let alone if you are not a couple yet.

Hayasaka Ai was a little dissatisfied: "Miss Kaguya, you are imprisoning me, you are a bit too much."

"Yes, I did go too far! So what!"

A cold arc appeared at the corner of Shinomiya Kaguya's lips. After saying this, she left the empty restaurant without looking back.

Walking in the long corridor, Kaguya Shinomiya's expression became increasingly cold.

"Kitahara-san, you're quite courageous!"

Dare to snatch a woman from her? (Mist)

Okay, just wait for me.

*

At the same time, Kitahara Tsutomu, who had no idea that he had been regarded as a thorn in the side by Shinomiya Kaguya, said goodbye to Nakano Miku and returned to the school hotel.

After entering the restaurant, Kitahara Takashi chose his breakfast and sat down in an empty seat.

After taking a sip of the steaming miso soup, Kitahara Takashi felt his stomach awakened by the hot miso soup and his body warm.

Recently, Kitahara Takashi has been left alone by his coach.

Kensuke Amatani did not assign him any tasks, for the simple reason that Kitahara Takashi had no baseball foundation.

There won't be enough time to explain the tactics to him and teach him how to shoot changeups.

If he fails to learn the changeup, he will ruin Kitahara Takashi's talent.

Kitahara Takashi's pitching now relies 100% on his talent, and you can't see any trace of effort on his part.

[Ding, the system mall has been refreshed, the host can check it by himself. ]

Kitahara Tsutomu has become accustomed to the sudden system prompt sound.

He opened the system mall.

Kitahara Takashi ignored the sketch and Batistuta Goal. He didn't like the former, but he could guess what the latter was without even looking at it.

He started straight with Popeye.
