Chapter 626: Satō Shin’ichi Eating Alone?
Red Chamber floors
Mei Ling-jie, full of righteousness and loyalty in Dream of the Red Chamber
On Academy street,
as in the past.
The girl’s gaze was locked on the young boy beside her from beginning to end. Her pair of dark eyes were filled with a complex emotion that was both playful and profound.
The young boy paused slightly. He had been looking down at the small pebbles on the road, and felt uneasy under her gaze. After a long while, he finally couldn’t help but turn his head.
“Kazumi, you’ve been staring at me since earlier?”
Kashiwa Mi’s lips curved into a pretty smile, her expression a little annoyed and pouting.
“Hm? Can only Brother look at me, and I can’t look at Brother?”
She pouted and asked,
“Honestly, can’t I have a little thought of my own?”
“Seriously, it’s just such a small thing, and Brother is going to get mad at me like a child?”
Kashiwa Mi put on a pitiful expression, looking up at him with her big eyes.
She looked like an innocent little animal that had been hurt, with a touch of cute stubbornness and persistence.
This made the young boy feel a little exasperated. He raised his hand and gently flicked Kashiwa Mi’s tender forehead.
“Stop joking, why would I be angry with you?”
Kashiwa Mi frowned slightly and reached out to gently rub her forehead, saying indignantly,
“Yes, you are! Brother is so petty and pretends to be magnanimous, I hate it the most!”
Kashiwa Mi turned her head and walked forward on her own, her hair colored red by the setting sun.
At this moment, Kashiwa Mi’s originally immature face seemed to show a surprising maturity.
She spoke softly, her voice carrying a hint of faint sadness and loneliness.
“Honestly, can only Brother treat me like an ignorant child?”
She paused slightly and looked back at the young boy who stood there bewildered.
Kashiwa Mi shook her head helplessly, saying something that even she couldn’t understand.
“Honestly, hasn’t Brother noticed?”
Kashiwa Mi’s face showed that slightly mischievous smile again.
“If Brother didn’t keep bullying me like this, maybe I’d be nicer to Brother…”
She resumed her pouting demeanor.
“Honestly, I’m so good to Brother, but Brother always ignores me and dislikes me, so it’s only right to punish Brother!”
Kashiwa Mi put on a pitiful expression, looking up at him with her big eyes.
She raised her head, her expression returning to its mischievous and playful state.
“Hasn’t Brother noticed?”
“We’ve only known each other for a day, and we’ve already gone through so much.”
“Doesn’t that seem a bit strange?”
Kashiwa Mi smiled, her eyes seeming thoughtful.
She seemed about to say something but quickly shook her head, swallowing her words.
“It’s nothing, I just feel like there’s some connection between us, so I’ve been following you.”
She narrowed her eyes at the young boy, her expression seeming to hold an ineffable depth.
“If Brother can trust me, I can tell Brother a secret!”
The young boy looked at Kashiwa Mi’s elusive expression and knew what she was referring to, but he did believe her.
Kashiwa Mi looked at the boy, her eyes filled with surprise, which was replaced by a sweet joy of looking at a treasure.
This precocious girl was both Kashiwa Mi and an ace agent.
She had taken the initiative to get to know the boy to reveal her identity and remind him that she was his girlfriend, and that she was Kashiwa Mi.
Her actions were meant to show the boy a way to connect with her.
She seemed to have something important to say but held back. She gently touched her hair and looked up at the boy.
“Honestly, hasn’t Brother noticed?”
“We seem out of place in this world.”
Kashiwa Mi smiled softly after speaking, sending a shiver down the boy’s spine.
At this moment, Kashiwa Mi had already pulled him forward.
She was right; they seemed out of place in this world because they didn’t belong in it.
Kashiwa Mi paused and turned her head, a flicker of mischief in her eyes.
“Don’t forget, you are the protagonist of this world, and I am just a civilian.”
Kashiwa Mi smiled again, saying things that gave the boy a headache.
“What I’m saying, hasn’t Brother noticed?”
“We’re in a relationship, how can I possibly only look at you?”
This was Kashiwa Mi’s hint. She was telling the boy that she loved him and would protect him even if he lost his memory.
Kashiwa Mi looked up and gave a sweet smile.
“Alright, don’t overthink it. Where are we going now?”
She seemed to want to change the subject.
The young boy looked at the smile in Kashiwa Mi’s eyes and felt a sense of helplessness.
His intuition told him that Kashiwa Mi was an incredible girl, who seemed to know everything and yet nothing.
“I don’t like being separated from Brother,”
After saying this, Kashiwa Mi looked at him with a hint of mischief in her eyes.
This made the young boy feel a little exasperated. He raised his hand and gently ruffled Kashiwa Mi’s hair.
“Alright, stop messing around. Where should we go now?”
Kashiwa Mi smiled sweetly and looked up at the young boy.
“What I’m saying, hasn’t Brother noticed?”
“I am Brother’s girlfriend, does Brother not know?”
She reached out and gently tugged his sleeve, her face wearing the same sweet and innocent smile as always.
“Let’s go, we’re going somewhere now.”
Kashiwa Mi pulled him forward. The young boy looked at Kashiwa Mi’s long hair and felt a warmth within him.
This girl… she seemed to have been waiting for him, waiting for him to remember her, waiting for him to fall in love with her.
This made the young boy feel a pang of heartache. He always felt a sense of inexplicable debt towards Kashiwa Mi.
He didn’t know why Kashiwa Mi was doing this, but he could feel her feelings for him.
Kashiwa Mi turned her head and gave him a sweet smile.
“Alright, don’t overthink it. We’re almost there.”
The young boy looked at Kashiwa Mi’s smile and felt a sense of warmth.
Kashiwa Mi gently took his hand and walked towards a towering building.
This building was the largest private hospital in Academy City, and also the residence of the president of Academy City’s “Top Sister,” the strongest psychic of Tokiwadai Middle School, [Railgun].
This seemed to be a place Kashiwa Mi had visited before, with a faint sense of warmth and sweetness…
“Alright, let’s go in!”
Kashiwa Mi pulled him towards the hospital. The young boy looked at Kashiwa Mi’s back, his heart filled with complex emotions.
He didn’t understand what Kashiwa Mi was saying, but he could feel her emotions for him.
[As usual, a normal day]…
The young boy lowered his head and looked at Kashiwa Mi holding his hand.
Kashiwa Mi turned her head and gave him a sweet smile, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
“Hasn’t Brother noticed?”
Kashiwa Mi spoke softly, her voice carrying a hint of faint sadness and loneliness. “Is there no possibility between us at all?”
Kashiwa Mi looked at the young boy, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
She didn’t know if the young boy could truly remember her, but she believed that as long as she kept protecting him, he would fall in love with her one day.
This made the young boy feel a little exasperated. He raised his hand and gently ruffled Kashiwa Mi’s hair.
“Alright, stop messing around. Where are we going now?”
Kashiwa Mi reached out her hand and gently pulled him forward.
She seemed to want to change the subject, but her eyes were filled with complex emotions.
This made the young boy feel a pang of heartache.
He didn’t know why Kashiwa Mi was doing this, but he could feel her feelings for him.
Kashiwa Mi looked at the young boy, her expression a little complicated.
