"Goodbye, Acting Teacher." Junko Konoe bowed in front of Yagyu Sakura. Instead of jumping up and down like before, she left the dojo with small steps that fit the requirements of a lady.
Yagyu Sakura kept a serious expression and nodded in response - this is the common sense that the young lady of the Yagyu family, as a master of swordsmanship and an elder, should maintain a majestic image in front of these children. This is what others expect, Yagyu Sakura She always acted like this, even though she had a good relationship with Konoe Junko, she would usually chat a few words when there were no other people around.
"Keeping a straight face often makes girls look ugly." [Her] appearance is always elusive, but she never misses every moment where she can be sarcastic. "But maybe you are used to it."
"Attitude is a mask." Yagyu Sakura said nonsense.
"Indeed, a wise saying." [She] clapped her hands in agreement, "Then which mask are you wearing today? Deception? Disguise? Or...jealousy?"
"You should know very well." Yagyu Sakura turned her head away, "You should know everything about me."
"It's impossible to tell." [She] sat down along the edge of the edge, her little feet wearing foot socks placed on the bluestone as a step as if they were not afraid of the cold at all, "Why would you say that to Yuanye? ?”
"It's a good thing to give him a clear answer." Yagyu Sakura replied perfunctorily, "That kind of guy obviously doesn't have many friends. Anyone who is gentle to him will think that someone who is only gentle to him is just a person with excessive self-awareness. Just a brat."
"Once this kind of person knows that the tenderness is not unique, he will hate the person who gives him tenderness." The impatience in Yagyu Sakura's tone was obviously too much, "It would be bad if he misunderstood, and it might make Miss Hoshino It’s all in vain, both of them are hedgehogs.”
"Really?" [She] stared at her raised toes and asked in a mocking tone, "Is Yuanye really a self-centered person with excessive self-awareness? Or is this an idea you want to impose on him? ?”
"In my opinion, he doesn't hate people who give him tenderness at all. He understands that because he has no friends, he subconsciously regards the sudden tenderness as unique, but he clearly knows that sunny and extroverted people The difference between friendliness and true tenderness." [She] turned her head and stared at Yagyu Sakura who was unwilling to look at her, "He doesn't hate others who are gentle, he just hates himself for being sentimental."
"What a twisted guy. As you said, he's very cute."
"Whatever you say." Yagyu Sakura replied humbly.
"It doesn't matter what I say, what matters is what you think."
"What's the meaning?"
"You should know very well that the reason why he said those seemingly greasy words is not because of the excessive self-awareness of a self-centered person, but out of some kind of self-protection." [She] stood up and walked away In front of Yagyu Sakura, "But you subjectively judged this emotion as his excessive self-awareness, and imposed this idea on him."
Only then did Yagyu Sakura realize that [she] was as tall as him, and their eyes were looking at each other without any deviation.
"In fact, after he said those words, he immediately realized that something was wrong and wanted to make amends, but you didn't give him this chance." [She] continued, "Don't you know? No, you don't want to Let him make amends? Because if he tries to make amends, he'll realize that he didn't say that because of the excess of self-awareness you put in your mouth, which will invalidate the idea you imposed."
"Self-centeredness is the sign of [adults]. [Adults] never care about other people's thoughts and insist on having their own way. People who care about others are things that gentle people do, and gentleness is the privilege of [young people]." [She 】Stretched out his hands and grabbed Yagyu Sakura's beautiful face, as if he was trying to squeeze the water out of the other person's head, "You don't want Genya to become an [adult], do you? Haven't you taken any medicine?"
"Genya will not become an [adult]. Even if I want him to become an [adult], it doesn't matter. You are here, and that is enough." The annoyance on Yagyu Sakura's face faded in an instant, and she answered calmly. Said, "This is what you were born for."
"...You're right." [She] was silent for a while, then let go of her hand, "It's time for me to go."
"Well, see you next time."
"I want to ask you something before I leave."
"What?"
"The mask you are wearing today." [She] asked seriously, "Which one is it?"
"...It's deception." Yagyu Sakura was silent for a while and replied softly.
"real?"
"Really, I promise."
"Really, that's good." [She] turned and left, disappearing around the corner of the corridor like Konoe Junko, "Bye."
Yagyu Sakura didn't have any extra time to sigh. She stretched out her hand to wipe her face, put on a new mask, and reached out to stop Yuanye who wanted to leave.
"Is something wrong?" Yuan Ye stopped.
"Are you free on the weekend?"
"There should be." Yuan Ye was a little confused, "What's wrong?"
"Didn't you help me when I was at the publishing house last time." Yagyu Sakura tried her best to pretend to be embarrassed, "I want to thank you. I heard you say this afternoon that you are interested in that kind of traditional religious painting. I happen to have some tickets for an art exhibition in this area, so I thought I’d invite you to go with me.”
"Ah, there are also movies and dinner." Yagyu Sakura clasped her hands together, pretending to be pleading hard, "Please be sure to appreciate it."
"These invitations are beyond the scope of thanks, right?" Yuan Ye asked with a smile, "Why does it look like inviting someone close to you on a date? He just said to me, 'I think I don't like you.' If so, you probably wouldn’t make such an invitation.”
"Because we are not the only ones going together." Sakura Yagyu replied, "Hoshino-san will also go together."
"...Why are Hoshino mentioned here?"
"I want to become friends with Hoshino-san, so I want to invite her out for a party to enhance our relationship." Yagyu Sakura explained, "But I'm afraid that it will easily become tense with just the two of us, so I want to invite someone who knows both of us. People walk together.”
As if afraid that Genya would not agree, Yagyu Sakura quickly added: "That art exhibition was opened by a well-known collector in the industry. He is the former head of a large shrine and has many unique religious paintings in his hands. There’s a lot on display at this exhibition.”
"Do you think of me as a lively character?" Yuan Ye smiled and didn't think too much, "No problem, you are right, I am indeed very interested in this aspect, and I can still have a free meal. , why not?"
Most of the paintings of gods circulating on the market are just popular paintings, and only a few of them contain concepts. Even if the paintings of gods originally contained a certain set of profound concepts, after many times of copying and transfer, the traces of the concepts on them have become distorted. .
And the possibility that that kind of unique god painting contains traces of conception methods is greatly increased. Yuan Ye needs to refer to a large number of different conception methods to create his own conception methods. Naturally, he will not let go of this opportunity.
"Then I will pull you into the group." Seeing that Genya agreed, Yagyu Sakura said, "The detailed arrangements will be discussed in the group."
"I understand." Yuanye stepped away, leaving his words in the air, "Bye."
"...Are you angry?" Yagyu Sakura sighed, "It's not difficult to deceive such an idiot. There's no sense of accomplishment at all."
