Ryuji stared at Umi, not knowing what to say for a moment.
From the bottom of his heart, apart from falling in love with Umi, he also has a sense of guilt.
So when facing her, Ryuji always tried his best to make up for her, but the relationship between the two was a bit cautious.
"...Sorry."
Umi's tears continued to fall.
"That's not what I want to hear, why don't you understand!" Umi cries and runs.
"Umi..."
Kotori glanced at Ryuji worriedly, and said, "Ryuji-kun, hurry up and chase after Umi!"
Ryuji sighed, and it was very rare for him to appear in such a depressed mood.
"Forget it, she probably doesn't want to see me now."
In fact, even though Ryuji wasn't a harem male lead with a negative EQ, he wasn't Kami-sama.
He is 16 years old and still doesn't understand why Umi is so angry.
"Stupid Ryuji-kun!" Kotori scolded, then went after Umi alone.
Ryuji was taken aback, why was Kotori suddenly scolding him?
He looked at Honoka who was still there, and asked, "Are you going to scold me too, then chase after them?"
Ryuji took this as a punishment for himself, even if Honoka wanted to slap him, would he possibly accept it?
"Hah? Why?" Honoka asked suspiciously.
Ryuji was dumbfounded, thinking to himself, because Kotori and Umi were both like this.
"No, maybe it's because you're stupid that you don't think much." Ryuji rubbed Honoka's head.
He suddenly felt that it would be nice to have a clumsy girlfriend like Honoka, who had simple ideas and would say anything to the point.
"I'm not stupid!" Honoka expressed her dissatisfaction.
"Yes, my Honoka is the smartest." Ryuji rarely praised her.
"Ryu-chan is fascinated by me?" Honoka asked with a smile.
Ryuji shook his head: "Forget it, this title feels disgusting."
Honoka's face turned bitter, "No, I think this title is pretty good."
The two argued like this for a while.
Ryuji suddenly asked: "Am I wrong?"
Honoka nodded seriously: "Of course, it made Umi-chan cry, no matter how I look at it, it's Ryu-chan's fault!"
Ryuji was silent, that was the reason why Umi cried.
"Stupid, I'm not talking about this, I'm asking about a deeper reason!"
"Hmm..." Honoka thought for a moment with a serious expression, and said seriously, "I don't know either."
Honoka's words made Ryuji stagger and almost fall.
He couldn't support his forehead, it was his fault expecting Honoka.
"Even though I don't know what else Umi-chan is thinking, I know she needs Ryu-chan the most right now!" Honoka said.
"Umi-chan is always like this, always needing others to take the initiative!"
Honoka thinks of the three of them when they were younger, and Umi had a shy personality back then.
Just then, Honoka and Kotori were playing in an open space, and a girl hid behind a tree.
The girl looked at Honoka and Kotori. She wanted to join, but she hid because of her personality.
"Forget it..." The girl pulled her head behind the tree, her little face full of disappointment.
"Catch you!"
The girl was startled by a sudden voice from behind, and someone put a hand on her shoulder.
"Then you will become a ghost! What's your name?" Honoka said
"...My name is... Sonoda Umi."
Honoka returned to reality from memory, and said to Ryuji: "What Umi-chan needs now isn't me and Kotori... So, Ryu-chan, go."
Honoka showed a broad smile.
"Snap!"
"Ouch, it hurts!"
Honoka covered her forehead with tears in her eyes.
Ryuji stretched out his finger, hummed softly and said, "Only Honoka, you are too arrogant!"
In the next second, Ryuji couldn't help but laugh anymore, and hugged Honoko into his arms.
"Thank you, Honoka."
"Hehehe." Honoka smiled, enjoying her boyfriend's embrace.
...
The light of the setting sun burned the earth into a golden yellow piece.
At the park, the adults called their children to come home for dinner.
At the time of parting, the children are reluctant to part ways and agree to continue tomorrow.
Umi sat in a large tree, looking at this sight and wondering what she was thinking.
