Chapter 77: Of course it’s a relationship between lovers…
Chapter 77
Kurokawa Kaoru once thought, if he died in this life, would he still be Inarizaki's student when he was reborn next time?
The answer is yes.
Perhaps it was because he became friends with Gong Yoo. Every time he heard her interesting remarks, his own distorted state, which had become due to too many rebirths, would be somewhat alleviated.
For Kurokawa Kaoru, Miya Yuu is a friend and a source of calm. Having always teetered on the edge of darkness, Kurokawa Kaoru finds it hard to understand Miya Yuu's optimism, a disinterest in anything but volleyball.
In his opinion, if someone like Gong You really encountered something dangerous, he would probably not survive for more than three seconds.
Of course, these are initial thoughts.
Their interactions were primarily due to Miya Yuu. As the class monitor, Kurokawa Kaoru was responsible for collecting the students' homework. Since he had trouble collecting homework, he would often bargain with him daily, either asking him to hand it in later or coaxing him into lending his homework to others.
A shameless idiot who is a bit of a headache. This is Kurokawa Kaoru's first impression of Miya Yu.
Compared to Miyaji, Miya Yu's personality was noticeably worse. Aside from his volleyball teammates, he had virtually no friends at school. Of course, Kurokawa Kaoru had no right to criticize him. After all, aside from necessary socializing, he never actively spoke to anyone, let alone had any friends.
Apart from Kuroba Kaito, with whom he occasionally chatted online, there was basically no one among his peers with whom he could chat.
But Gong You...he doesn't play by the rules at all.
Even though Kurokawa Kaoru had clearly shown his affection, he seemed oblivious and would still come up to him every day without fail. Those who didn't know would think they were close. Once, when I was turning in homework, the monitors from other classes saw me and joked with me, saying it was rare for them to see me so close to other students.
Is the relationship good? Kurokawa Kaoru thought to himself.
If Gong Yoo hadn't been pestering her every day, they probably wouldn't have said a single word to each other, but in the eyes of others it was proof of their good relationship.
This feeling is so strange that even Kurokawa Kaoru himself doesn't know whether he hates the other person or simply doesn't care.
So when he met Miya Yu at Dorobigaar Paradise, out of some small revengeful mentality, for the first time in his life, Kurokawa Kaoru chose to stay in the same room with a guy he didn't trust.
How to say it?
It feels surprisingly good.
Now that I think about it, if he hadn't forced her to book a room with him at the Beika Hotel in order to "get revenge" on Gong You (?), they wouldn't have become friends. For Kurokawa Kaoru, he would have lost a soft spot that could be exploited, and for Gong You, he wouldn't have faced these unpleasant things and could have continued to be an ordinary high school student. Every day was nothing more than attending classes and playing volleyball. When he was old enough, he would choose his favorite club and maybe even join the national team in the future.
As for them, maybe they will only say a few more words at the graduation ceremony, and there will be no other interactions.
But for Miya Yu, this might be the best option. After all, Kurokawa Kaoru couldn't guarantee that, having escaped the mafia, he would survive to the end of his life. Otherwise, given Miya Yu's personality, knowing that his friend could only live to his twenties at most, who knows what kind of expression he would show.
Every time he thought of this, Kurokawa Kaoru would become silent, and then his mood would be extremely bad for the whole day.
But... no matter what he thought, Kurokawa Kaoru knew in his heart that since he had already become friends with people in this life, the so-called "if" would never happen. Instead of dwelling on it, he might as well think about what he could do to live a few more days.
But now, Kurokawa Kaoru saw Miya Yu ten years later.
To be precise, it is Gong Yoo who has never met him, has lived according to the correct timeline from beginning to end, and will not feel sad because of his own death.
For a moment, Kurokawa Kaoru was stunned.
He didn't even know what tone he should use to speak to the other party. Looking at the smile on Gong You's face, Kurokawa Kaoru opened his mouth, and it took a long time before he heard his own voice.
"I am indeed Kurokawa Kaoru."
"You wear women's clothes, is it because you are the same as Kuroba?"
Considering that there were other people here, Gong You blinked his eyes and leaned close to Kurokawa Kaoru's ear and said, "It's... the Phantom Thief."
"I have no interest in thieves who borrow gems from others and then return them quietly."
Miya You's words allowed Kurokawa Kaoru to capture some useful information. For example, although he didn't know the specific reason, from the other party's tone, it was obvious that Miya You in this world knew Kuroba Kaito, and even knew that the other party was a phantom thief.
This also explains why Kuroba Kaito stayed with Miya Yu after coming to this world.
In addition, the uniform Gong You was wearing looked like it was custom-made. Apparently, in the world ten years later, he was still playing volleyball.
No wonder. Kurokawa Kaoru laughed. After all, from the first day he met her, she had shown a strong fondness for volleyball. Her previous performance on IH had also made Kurokawa Kaoru aware of her talent in volleyball. As a friend, seeing her still playing volleyball ten years later, Kurokawa Kaoru was happy for Miya Yu from the bottom of his heart.
Thinking of this, Kurokawa Kaoru lowered his eyes and said calmly, "She's dressed like this to attend the school festival."
"I see."
Gong You nodded. "Back when we were in high school, Aji... I mean, my brother once forced me to wear a maid outfit for the school festival, saying that he wanted to open a maid cafe."
Recalling the scene at that time, Gong You still felt a little resentful: "It was Azhi who made this suggestion, but he himself didn't wear it. As a result, I was laughed at by my classmates for a long time because of this."
In fact, if Gong You hadn't come to find him in this life, he would have gone through the same thing. Thinking of Gong You in a maid outfit, Kurokawa Kaoru's shoulders trembled, and a smile appeared in his eyes: "Isn't it good? At least it can be used to make others laugh."
"Why should I bring up my own affairs and let others laugh at me?"
Gong You rolled his eyes. Seeing Kurokawa Kaoru looking at him with a smile, his expression changed slightly. He was a little embarrassed about this matter, but because of the smile on his face, he suddenly felt that it was nothing.
"never mind."
He sighed and said, "Perhaps you're right. It seems quite good to be able to use it to make others laugh."
At this point, Gong You's expression paused, and he lowered his head to meet Kurokawa Kaoru's gaze: "I've almost finished talking about boring things. As for why I followed Hei Yu here to find you, I think... you should know the reason."
"Um."
Kurokawa Kaoru laughed: "Do you really have to ask so clearly? Some things are better left unseen."
Hearing the meaning behind Kurokawa Kaoru's words, Gong You raised his eyebrows and continued, "After all, this is a matter concerning me. As the person involved, I think I should have the right to know."
What a hassle! Kurokawa Kaoru thought to himself. He had guessed this would happen the moment he saw him. Unlike Kudo Shinichi, Miya Yuu was someone who would stick to his guns once he made up his mind.
But... this is Gong Yoo.
Thinking of this, Kurokawa Kaoru sighed and said with an embarrassed look on his face: "With your IQ, it's hard for me to explain to you."
"...Are you trying to irritate me in this way and then get this matter over with?"
"It's obviously Gong You, why is your mind suddenly working so fast at this moment?"
Gong You:?
What does it mean that it’s Gong Yoo?
Besides, he's very smart, okay!
Knowing that if he didn't tell the truth today, there would be no way out, Kurokawa Kaoru smiled and shook his head, emotions surging in his eyes: "Do you know... parallel worlds?"
According to the theory of parallel worlds, there are likely other universes besides the one we know. These universes may be identical to the one we know, or they may contain errors. In other words, there is also a Kurokawa Kaoru in other universes.
As to whether the other party had also experienced rebirth or had lived to be a hundred years old, it was not something Kurokawa Kaoru could know.
"For some reason, Kuroba and I came from our world to ten years later."
"But in the meantime, some accidents happened, so that you did not appear in the correct timeline, but came to a parallel world."
He quickly understood what Kurokawa Kaoru said and pieced it together in his own words. Not surprisingly, seeing Kurokawa Kaoru's silence, Gong You rolled his eyes and spoke after a long moment, "No wonder Hei Yu asked me where 'Kurokawa' was the first time he saw me. It turns out that in this parallel world, we have a really good relationship."
"Feel sorry."
After listening to Kurokawa Kaoru's explanation, Kuroba Kaito finally understood what was going on and quickly apologized to Miya You, "I thought you and Kurokawa had a conflict, but you refused to admit that you knew Kurokawa because of this matter, so I spoke a little impolitely."
Whether it was Kurokawa Kaoru or Kuroba Kaito, they were still just high school students, so Miya Yuu wouldn't get angry with anyone over something like this. Plus, he and this world's Kuroba Kaito were already friends, so while he found it baffling, it was more out of curiosity than resentment.
Besides—
He had something more important to ask Kurokawa Kaoru.
Thinking of this, Gong You let out a long sigh and his eyes fell on Kurokawa Kaoru.
"So... since you've already described me as a scumbag, that means my other self and Kurokawa are probably in that kind of relationship, right?"
What kind of relationship?
Kurokawa Kaoru's expression was confused.
When Gong You was met with his gaze, his breathing became a little rapid, but even so, he still gritted his teeth and continued speaking.
"Of course it's a relationship like lovers."
Kurokawa.
Kurokawa Kaoru successfully froze in place.
TBC.
