She merely opened her beautiful eyes halfway to look at Jiang Yuan, as if pondering something.

"stare--"

"What's wrong?"

Completely charmed by Mai's adorable expression, Jiang Yuan gently rubbed Mai's head and asked in confusion.

'No matter how many times I see it, Mai is always so cute!'

"fine."

Feeling the gentle stroking on her head and seeing the hero's puzzled expression, she felt as if she had obtained the result she wanted.

He shook his head, calmly replied in his uniquely blank voice, and then turned to look at the bowing unicorn.

It seems that the glance back just now was merely a fleeting whim.

嗏 I felt the little head in my hand, which felt a bit more comfortable at a distance.

The moment Mai turned around...

Did you laugh?

As the soft strands of hair flowed through his fingers, Jiang Yuan smiled helplessly to himself.

'Mai is still Mai…'

aside.

Mio Naganohara and Yuko Aioi also came to their senses.

He immediately looked at Nakanojo Tsuyoshi in shock.

'How dare you mess with Mai (Mai-chan)?!'

Brave one...

This is what a hero is like.

Mio Naganohara felt this way.

She then looked at Tiao Shou with pity, and silently mourned in her heart as well.

'Wait for your Tanaka to come and collect the corpse...'

Even the naturally naive Yuko had a serious expression on her face at this moment, muttering "Amitabha."

Don't worry, you jinx.

'You will surely return safely to Broom Planet.'

……

Unbeknownst to them, everyone had already resolved to send it.

At that moment, Nakanojo felt as if he were being stabbed in the back.

I don't know if it's an illusion.

Even with his head down, he could still feel the "coldness" beneath Mizukami Mai's calm gaze.

'I want to die, I want to die, I want to die…'

A huge "danger" appeared in my mind.

Nakanojo felt that if he didn't say something now, he might really have to send it.

That glass jar must be something very important.

Otherwise, how could his grandmother's kind smile have almost flashed through his mind?

Go see your grandma now or something.

He wasn't ready yet, damn it!

……

I feel fatigue in my lumbar spine.

A drop of sweat slid down my cheek, causing a slight itch.

But Nakanojo Tsuyoshi was completely unaware.

now.

A strong will to survive made Nakanojo Takeshi dare not think any further.

With a heavy heart, he simply followed his survival instinct and blurted out an apology.

I'm so sorry I broke your sister-in-law's glass jar!

"I couldn't find the same item, but whatever it is, I will try my best to compensate you!"

The words fell.

Nakanojo said no more, but after speaking, he felt much more at ease.

Looking down at his shoes, just as Nakanojo was waiting for the "death sentence" to be handed down.

'Um?'

Suddenly.

Do not know why.

The feeling of being pricked from behind vanished instantly.

The word "danger," which had even materialized in my mind, quickly faded and disappeared.

It seemed like nothing more than an illusion.

Before Nakanojo could even wonder 'What's wrong?'

"It's alright," came Mai Mizukami's calm voice.

The words, falling on Nakanojo's ears, made him pause in surprise once again.

"Eh?"

I looked up subconsciously.

What everyone saw was a bewildered man with his hair all wet and styled into a golden, center-parted mess.

What is this, Minakami-kun...?

Have I forgiven myself?

……

'Oh, I see…'

At this point, Jiang Yuan also understood why Nakanojo Takeshi had apologized.

It turned out that the glass jar he had given to Mai had been broken.

'It must be the accident when Yuko caught the octopus sausage.'

Jiang Yuan also remembered.

It seems that Nakanojo Tsuyoshi was indeed knocked into Mai's desk by Yuko's sausage and lay there for quite a while.

0 ······Requesting flowers··· ······ Mai must have put his glass jar in the drawer, and it was probably broken when it was bumped.

He was so busy comforting Yuko that he didn't notice.

thinking in mind.

Jiang Yuan turned his head and glanced at the double iron plates on the hemp table, their four corners encased in steel and gleaming with a cold light. He subconsciously touched his kidney, his lips twitching: 'It must hurt a lot.'

and…

He glanced again at the two bewildered eyes of Nakanojo Tsuyoshi, who was suddenly relieved and grateful for Mai's forgiveness.

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but feel pity.

'Nakanojo Tsuyoshi is such a jinx...'

……

Looking at the strange expressions that flashed across the unicorn's face.

Mai Mizukami's eyes flickered slightly, and a blush rose to her crystalline ears hidden beneath her black hair.

'sister in law…'

Nakanojo didn't know.

It was this sentence that made Mai Mizukami abandon her "unicorn plan," which was enough to make her "happy" throughout her high school career.

.... 0 0 With a blank, calm gaze, Mai Mizukami blinked and said nothing more, only looking at Ebisu once more.

Nothing was said.

But for some reason, Jiang Yuan understood the meaning conveyed to him by Mizukami Mai's beautiful eyes.

'Should I decide?'

Upon hearing the word "sister-in-law," Jiang Yuan understood why Mai had forgiven Nakanojo Tsuyoshi.

And since it's a gift I gave myself, do I have to make the decision for myself?

Got the answer.

Jiang Yuan's heart was immediately touched.

He looked gently at Mai, whose little head was resting on his hand, waiting for his answer.

He walked towards her with a smile, amidst the resentful expressions of Naganohara Mio and Aioi Yuko, who were gritting their teeth because of the word "sister-in-law," and the puzzled look on Nakanojo Tsuyoshi's face.

……

"Didn't Nakanojo apologize?"

Smiling, Jiang Yuan helped Nakanojo up and patted him on the shoulder.

"That's enough."

Although Jiang Yuan was somewhat disappointed that the first gift he gave to Mai was broken.

But Tsuyoshi Nakanojo apologized, and his attitude was so sincere.

In this respect, he is already far superior to many others.

What is there that he cannot forgive?

Besides, Jiang Yuan's conscience would also hurt if he made things difficult for an unlucky guy.

Because people make mistakes…

Sighing.

Jiang Yuan also recalled a sentence he had read in a book in his previous life.

"The eraser is only on the back of the pencil."

Concise yet to the point.

The sound of the object landing in Nakanojo's ear made him tremble.

The emotion in my heart was instantly overwhelming.

"Godfather!!!"

"..."

Seeing Nakanojo Tsuyoshi clinging to his leg, tears streaming down his face, overwhelmed with emotion, he was deeply moved.

Jiang Yuan sighed helplessly, "What kind of situation is this..."
