Rebirth of the Father of Anime

Okazaki and Anzu did not continue to kiss, so they were seen and misunderstood, and rumors spread on campus. In order to quickly quell the rumors this time, Xing proposed dating to Chun Yuan against her will.

In other words, she was afraid, she was afraid that her true feelings would be discovered, and she was eager to put it all to rest.

Okazaki accidentally saw and heard this, but did not come out and hid aside. Anzu noticed Haruhara, perhaps to prove something, or maybe Okazaki's appearance forced her to escape and completely cut off her feelings. So she deliberately kissed Chun Yuan.

But when she was about to kiss him, Chun Yuan stopped her.

"Do you really want to date me? It's better not to force yourself, you're trembling... From my perspective as a bystander, you like Okazaki, right?" Chunhara tore apart Xing's disguise straightforwardly.

At a loss, Xing could only keep staring at the place where Okazaki was hiding. This made Chunyuan also discover Okazaki, and an awkward atmosphere flowed among the three silent people.

When Okazaki was about to speak, Xing, who was in a state of confusion, lowered her head and ran away in panic.

After a while, Chunyuan spoke: "You must have heard it, right? Xing likes you, probably from a long time ago... But now that you are dating Muku, she is even less likely to speak. In order to quickly quell the rumors , she must associate with other people; she chose me just because she will have the opportunity and reason to stay by your side often in the future."

Okazaki was silent, looking at the direction in which Xing fled, he said: "For that kind of reason, can you go out with someone you don't like?"

Haruhara answered Okazaki: "Hasn't she already reached this point?"

"She can easily put the rumors to rest simply by telling everyone, 'I'm not dating Okazaki,' right?"

"Is it simple...?" Haruhara asked Okazaki, "Okazaki, Anzu is also a girl. She denies that she likes someone, but she is actually the person she likes. It is very painful."

So isn't it painful to be in a relationship with someone you don't like? And... wasn't she the one who brought about the relationship between me and Mukuro?

Anzu and Muku, the two figures flashed through Okazaki's mind one by one.

"Are you really willing to be with Mukuro? Don't you think it's too forced? I think you and Anzu will be more compatible together." Haruhara said to Okazaki sincerely.

"..." Okazaki was silent.

"When I was eavesdropping just now,

What does it feel like? Peace and pain. Which of the two in your game is the real feeling brought by ‘love’? "

As a close friend of Okazaki, Chunyuan asked He Chen seriously. He patted Okazaki hard on the shoulder, turned around and left.

Haruhara's words, scenes from the past, alternately changed in Okazaki's mind.

He began to ask himself and examine his true inner feelings. Who did he really like?

Sometimes the feelings are clear and strong, sometimes. The feelings are hazy and vague.

Could it be that he had been unknowingly forcing or sacrificing something to be with Mukuo... He didn't know, and the same was true of Anzu's feelings.

Moreover, if, as Haruhara said, Xing liked him, why did she want to bring him and Muku together? Do you love your sister so much that you suppress your feelings and endure the pain?

Why prioritize others so much?

At the school gate, Ming was still waiting for her to come home from school. The two walked side by side as usual, and this daily time has become a matter of course. Mukuro and Okazaki chatted about happy things, and Okazaki examined his feelings. Absent-minded.

The next day, I met Xing, and Xing just smiled and said don't listen to Chunyuan's nonsense. She just wanted to put the rumors to rest as soon as possible.

"I'm also reflecting on what I did to Chun Yuan...so don't pay too much attention to it, or it will affect Mukuro. A boyfriend should just think about his girlfriend. It's not okay to care about someone like me. Because I don’t have any special feelings for you.”

Xing smiled freely and teased Okazaki.

Hypocritically free and easy, like the moon in the water, a smile that seems to collapse at the touch of a touch... Why does she keep this bright, sad, heart-wrenching smile even so?

Okazaki clenched his fists, his nails digging into his flesh. He was afraid that if he didn't do this, he would be moved by Xing, who was working hard alone in front of him, but when he thought about it. It's too late, wait until the heart says goodbye. Okazaki felt a twinge of pain pass through his chest.

At night, Okazaki had a dream, a dream in which he silently held Xing and cried beside her.

The next day, Okazaki was late for the first time since they started dating. I met Anzu on the road. Although he knocked down Okazaki on a motorcycle as usual, he looked back at Okazaki while riding and knocked down a telephone pole. Fortunately, he only injured his knee, but the front of the motorcycle was damaged but It can still be activated.

For lunch that day, Mukuro and Okazaki had a bento together. Anzu and Mukuo made the bento together, and the special pork belly was Anzu’s specialty...

Okazaki looked at this pork belly and was a little lost. I remember he said before that this is delicious. Could it be that she has always remembered it...

Muku became more and more active and outgoing, and approached Okazaki directly in the classroom, making appointments for dinner and shopping. The classmates knew that they were dating, and they became a public couple. Even on the day of the school anniversary, at Mukuro's initiative, the two kissed in the courtyard. While kissing, his eyes passed through Mukuro's shoulders, and Okazaki saw Anzu.

Xing watched this scene with an expression she had never seen before. It was a sad face that could shed tears at any time. Xing found the money in Ming, and Xing ran away as if running away, but that expression was deeply imprinted on her. Okazaki's heart is also imprinted in the hearts of countless viewers.

The next day, Okazaki and Mukuro went on a date. Okazaki joked about going to "that" place where no one was, but he didn't expect his joking words, but Mukuro gave a serious reply.

"If you really want to...I-I'm fine."

Looking at the shy but serious figure, Okazaki realized even more that he couldn't joke around anymore. He was willing to do anything for him. He liked himself so much...

Because of this, he can no longer say such irresponsible words... Moreover, this is a gap that he is not able and unworthy to cross now.

On this day, Okazaki's heart was still in chaos.

"I will cherish and love you very much, so this kind of thing. It's too early."

Mukui has already expressed his willingness, but when he still doesn't understand his own feelings, he still insists on not going beyond the boundaries. Such a person has captured the hearts of countless girls.

However, he can only use such lies to cover himself up. Okazaki feels like a real hypocrite. But then Muku suddenly asked Okazaki: "Although it's a bit strange to ask this between lovers...do you like me?"

Okazaki realized that he had never said that he liked Muku. However, Okazaki couldn't answer this question, which most people could blurt out at this time.

Muku interpreted this as Okazaki being embarrassed to say it.

At noon the next day, Tomoya was waiting for Muku in the courtyard with a bento made by Muku, and saw a very energetic Anzu. After chatting about Muku's bento, we went to eat with Mudan, who kept having a rumbling stomach.

Muku's bento is not particularly delicious, but it is already on the level of a normal person. Compared with the previous dark cuisine that made Mudan twitch and faint for a day after just one bite, it can be said to be a rapid improvement.

Ming looked at his hands, which were full of band-aids. All the hard work was clearly engraved on these slender hands that should be cared for.

After eating, on their way back to the classroom, the two learned from Xing's classmates that Xing seemed to be feeling a little uncomfortable and had left early. But wasn't he still very energetic before? Okazaki was confused.

It rained heavily during the fifth period. Okazaki was lying on the table sleeping, and suddenly an inexplicable feeling emerged in his heart. Through the window, Okazaki saw Mudan looking in his direction at the school gate.

Didn’t Xing leave early? She shouldn't leave Peony alone.

An ominous premonition made Okazaki rush out of the school gate and followed Mudan to the woods. Xing stood there alone, holding the rain.

"Leave me alone!" Xing shouted to stop Okazaki from approaching.

"How could I not care about you..."

"You must leave me alone!"

Xing Fenfeng shouted hoarsely, and Okazaki's footsteps stopped.

"You are Muku's boyfriend, just care about her. I am that child's sister. You are the one I can never get too close to, and I am the one you can never get too close to. I know you understand... It's so painful to be with you who are becoming lovers and getting closer... Mukuo also told me that she kissed you before. She said 'Thank you, sister'... and I smiled and said to her, 'That's great'... ...After I returned to my room, my chest felt so painful... I saw you two at school the day before yesterday... It's not a strange thing to say. It's not the first time for lovers. But when I think about it, I shed tears. Not only that, no matter how many times I comfort myself, I still can't stop... I can no longer face you now... When I think of you doing that kind of thing, I can't continue to stay in school... It's too late …Whether it’s discovery…or deception…”

Who is too late? In the past few days, I have already noticed the discomfort, anxiety and confusion of being with Mukuo...

"Confession is so scary... I'm afraid that if you are rejected after confessing, I won't even be able to be friends and I won't be able to stay by your side anymore. It's better to suppress my feelings and continue to be friends. I want to say that it won't hurt... I really regret it... ...Obviously I made my own decision, but I can only regret it... I am actually very cunning, sticking to you and Mukuro like this. Although I say I want to cheer Mukuro on, I don’t want her to go smoothly. If Mukuro is rejected, how much more will it be? Well...I actually thought about such dirty, ugly, nasty and despicable things in my heart..."

Okazaki raised his hand. He wanted to say that he was the cunning one. Who did he want to see through Muku's face...

"...I really hate myself like this! I look like I'm helping others, but I only think about myself; I'm afraid of getting hurt but I expect others to get hurt..."

Xing's painful voice also stabbed Okazaki's heart. Although he had discovered it, he pretended not to see it and continued to hurt people... Looking at Xing through Ming, who is the most despicable person? ?

It's him.

Okazaki hugged Anzu.

"I'm sorry... I like you... so don't be gentle to me anymore, because I am a fool and your gentleness will make me misunderstand..."

Rain and tears formed a line, leaving their faces.

Xing's helpless, sad and painful look made countless people heartache.

Don't be gentle to me anymore, because I am a fool and your gentleness will make me misunderstand...

After hearing Xing's words, many people burst into tears.

Okazaki hugged Xing: "Xing...I love you..."

"Okazaki!" Xing knew what Okazaki wanted to say. She had vaguely known and vaguely regretted it when Okazaki said "I like long hair" before, so she stopped Okazaki from saying it. She was afraid that Okazaki would say that. If so, the persistence she has worked so hard to maintain will collapse in an instant.

"I am Fujibayashi Xing... not Fujibayashi Muku!"

Hearing Muku's name, Okazaki felt a twinge in his heart, and relaxed his arms that hugged Anzu. Angio said "Bye" with a smile in a small voice, and then ran away.

The sound of rain covered up the sound of crying.

Okazaki lowered his head and let the pouring rain hit him.

The soaked clothes were just stuck to his body, and he felt cold, but he didn't seem to notice it. (To be continued)
