Chapter 75 Hiro, Hiro, say something...
Oh dear, why does it even have a finishing move?
Rei Furuya stared incredulously at his beloved childhood friend, his purplish-gray eyes filled with silent accusation: Hiro! You know the truth!
However, Morofushi Kagemitsu only returned his gaze with an even clearer and more sincere look, as if to say: It is precisely because I know the truth (and I enjoy watching the drama) that I agree with Matsuda's point.
His bright, upturned cat eyes clearly conveyed "I'm watching the show" and "This scene is interesting," but his gaze was pure and earnest, as if he were genuinely worried about his misguided friend. Only Rei Furuya could catch a faint, almost imperceptible, yet all-too-familiar, playful glint in those innocent blue cat eyes.
Jing—! You bastard—!
Rei Furuya was screaming inside, feeling like he had a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat, unable to swallow it or spit it out.
This backstabbing from "one of our own" was incredibly effective. Looking at the "what else can you say?" expressions on the faces of his colleagues, Rei Furuya was practically in tears.
Beep beep, in a daze he heard the alarm sounding that his reputation was plummeting.
Rei Furuya opened his mouth, feeling his language system somewhat disordered: "Wait! Matsuda, you..."
“It’s not what you think! I only have one boyfriend!” he tried to clear up this huge misunderstanding.
"One?" Matsuda Jinpei crossed his arms and nodded with a cold smile. "Yes, there's only one at a time." In Furuya Rei's slightly brightened gaze, he added, "They just change them frequently!"
It's just that I change them so often!
Rei Furuya looked left and right, noticing that everyone's gazes had become more subtle.
Whoosh! He heard the sound of his reputation crashing.
Rei Furuya took a deep breath, trying to keep his voice calm, but his tone inevitably rose slightly: "I said—they are all one person! One!"
"Huh?" Matsuda Jinpei uttered an incredulous single syllable, his eyebrows raised high, his face clearly saying, "Do you think I believe that?"
He raised his chin: "That black-haired wolf-tailed youth and that cute pink-haired boy, you're telling me they're the same person? Their personalities, heights, and appearances are all completely different! Furuya, you know my eyesight is excellent."
Do I look like a fool to you? Matsuda Jinpei's eyes clearly said it.
The difference in temperament and appearance is so vast, how could they possibly be the same person!
Moreover, not only in height, Matsuda Jinpei felt that the two people he saw even had subtle differences in their bone structure, which couldn't be explained by wearing height-increasing insoles. It was beyond the scope of ordinary makeup.
Nekono Ikuya's amazing disguise skills are burying the reputation of Furuya Rei from afar.
Even Date Wataru, who initially spoke up for Furuya Rei, showed a hint of doubt. His older brother's eyes betrayed his disapproval; a man should be responsible for his actions.
Meanwhile, Kenji Hagiwara stroked his chin, looking thoughtfully back and forth between Rei Furuya, who was speechless and choked with emotion, and Hiromitsu Morofushi, who was struggling to suppress his laughter.
Hmm, something feels off. Not sure, should I take another look?
Jiang Gu Ling, Jiang Gu Ling, there is no way to argue.
"It really is the same person!" Furuya Rei emphasized, sounding somewhat powerless.
“Hiro can testify!” He looked at Morofushi Kagemitsu with a chilling gaze: “Hiro, say something!”
He spoke slowly and deliberately, and black energy began to emanate from his body.
How much longer are you going to watch, Morofushi-Kage? (Because it's not bright at all anymore.)
Receiving his childhood friend's murderous glare, Morofushi Kagemitsu finally cleared his throat and stepped forward to corroborate his statement, though a faint smile still lingered on his face.
His tone was calm and certain, and he simply said, "Yes, Zero is right, he has only ever had one lover."
Morofushi Kagemitsu's reputation was clearly much better in everyone's eyes than that of Furuya Rei, who was currently burdened with many doubts. So when they heard him say the same thing, everyone immediately began to reconsider the possibility.
Rei Furuya, who witnessed the entire change in everyone's expression: How could this be... His reputation!
QAQ!
Matsuda Jinpei's expression changed from complete disbelief ("Are you kidding me?") to skepticism ("Is it really that amazing?"), and his attitude clearly wavered.
"...Really? Then they really are the same person. One person can be...so changeable?"
Matsuda Jinpei found it very strange.
Putting aside his unseen blue-eyed childhood friend, the difference between his cool wolf tail hair and his cute pink hair is even greater than the difference between him and Hagi. Amazing.
Date Kouya: "This... does sound hard to imagine." But even Morofushi Kagemitsu said so.
“It’s absolutely true. Yuya’s disguise skills are superb, and she’s passionate about changing her appearance.” Morofushi Kagemitsu nodded affirmatively, adding, “Although it’s unbelievable, it’s the truth. Yuya and I grew up together, and I can guarantee that.” This added to the credibility of the statement.
Date Wataru and Matsuda Jinpei looked utterly shocked: "Really?"
Morofushi Kagemitsu smiled gently, his face saying, "The world is vast, you have to accept it."
Date Wataru and Matsuda Jinpei accepted.
Jianggu Ling:......
He was finally exonerated, but... why doesn't he feel quite satisfied? Where has Rei Furuya's credibility and reputation gone?
Date Wataru breathed a sigh of relief, his face still showing disbelief, but he had already accepted the situation: "Sorry, Furuya, I misunderstood you just now."
Rei Furuya waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.
"...Okay, I misunderstood. I apologize." Matsuda Jinpei said reluctantly, but then asked with interest, "So, your boyfriend can disguise himself in different forms. You have a lover who can change his appearance a hundred times?"
Rei Furuya paused for a moment, then nodded: "...You can understand it that way."
Matsuda Jinpei asked with great interest, "So, what will he look like this weekend? Do you know?"
Rei Furuya: "...I don't know."
So, it's very likely that Nekono Ikuya is disguised? Matsuda Jinpei's eyes lit up slightly.
Rei Furuya became wary as he watched Jinpei Matsuda's eyes suddenly light up.
Matsuda, what are you planning to do, Matsuda!
Rei Furuya: I see you're still up to your old tricks of poaching people, be careful.
Matsuda Jinpei, who has no interest in romance but is full of competitive spirit: ? ? ?
This weekend, I must carefully observe Nekono Ikuya. I hope he appears in disguise; this time, I'll find the flaws in his disguise! (Little Jinpei is defiant.jpg)
Matsuda Jinpei was rubbing his hands together in anticipation...
Compared to the others who are expressive and often have wild imaginations, playing out their own little dramas in their minds, Kenji Hagiwara is the most composed of them all. He is also good at understanding other people's personalities and knows which jokes are jokes and which might come true.
Kenji Hagiwara accepted this premise with lightning speed. No wonder, he thought, he knew Rei Furuya didn't seem like someone who was fickle when it came to relationships. And even though he had only met Ikuya Nekono once, he could tell that Ikuya Nekono possessed a restrained pride.
Nekono Ikuya possessed a reserved and aloof demeanor, clearly indicating his privileged background, excellent upbringing, and high standards for himself and others. His eyes were clear and calm, carrying a keen insight into people's hearts, as if they could see through all pretense and hypocrisy.
How could someone like that be trusted by their lover or tolerate their partner's infidelity? They should be the type who demands absolute loyalty in relationships and cannot tolerate any infidelity.
So when he first learned about the wolf-tailed youth from Matsuda Jinpei, he immediately proposed the theory of one person. Even when he was puzzled by Morofushi Kagemitsu's riddle-like dialogue, he only felt that there was a misunderstanding.
When Matsuda Jinpei shared his supermarket experience with him yesterday, looking like his worldview had been shattered, he only found it absurd.
"Kijinpei, are you sure you didn't see it wrong?" He retorted with a smile at the time, "I don't think Nekono would allow Furuya to do this. There must be something fishy going on. If Furuya really does this, I'm afraid..." Hagiwara Kenji made a throat-slitting gesture, the meaning of which was very clear: Furuya Rei would die a terrible death.
At that time, he was almost certain that there was a problem, but he didn't know what it was. Now that he knew, Kenji Hagiwara found it very interesting.
Kojinpei is also a perceptive person with a terrifyingly irrational intuition. Although he initially called Kofuruya a womanizer, Kenji Hagiwara, who knows him well, can tell that he still trusts Kofuruya's character.
But just one trip to the supermarket completely changed his mind. He was unwittingly fooled by Kofuruya and Nekono's acting, and even his irrational and terrifying intuition was blinded. This... this...
Kenji Hagiwara's eyes lit up, and a highly infectious smile, a mixture of curiosity and excitement, instantly bloomed on his face.
"Oh my, isn't this super—interesting!" he drawled, his voice filled with excitement.
Completely ignoring Matsuda Jinpei's sarcastic remark, "Hagi, you? Ha, I knew it!", Hagiwara Kenji leaned closer to Furuya Rei, his violet eyes blinking with curiosity.
"Furuya, how did your cat Nao do that? She even fooled Jinpei! That's amazing! To be able to change her appearance and demeanor to the point that Jinpei wouldn't recognize her, it's practically magic."
Matsuda Jinpei muttered to himself, "Tch, what kind of standard am I?" But Hagiwara Kenji's words reminded him. Oh right, he'd been tricked.
Matsuda Jinpei: ...
He made a face showing his pained teeth: "So we were playing a couples role-playing game at the supermarket that day? Ugh, I got tricked. Damn it!" Thinking back to the intense frustration and shock he felt at the time, he suddenly felt like a fool.
Furuya Rei was sweating profusely as he listened to Matsuda Jinpei's rambling.
Kenji Hagiwara continued, his curiosity practically overflowing: "And his personality seems to be quite changeable? A cool guy with black hair and a wolf tail, a cute boy with pink hair, and then there's this young man with a refined and elegant air... Wow, what a contrast! He seems like a super interesting person!"
Kenji Hagiwara is naturally good at socializing and has always been interested in observing and understanding all kinds of people. Now that he knows about Ikuya Nekono's ability to "play the role of a theater troupe all by himself", he is naturally very interested.
"Hey, Furuya, you absolutely have to bring Nekono to the weekend gathering, okay?" Kenji Hagiwara said with a smile to Rei Furuya. "I'm getting more and more excited for the weekend's meetup. Natalie and Nekono are both really worth getting to know."
Matsuda Jinpei's gaze was also intense.
Jianggu Ling:......
Jianggu Ling: "...Okay?"
He looked at Kenji Hagiwara, who was intrigued; Jinpei Matsuda, whose competitive spirit was inexplicably ignited; Wataru Date, who was unconsciously thinking about Natalie; and Kagemitsu Morofushi, who was watching the spectacle with a smile.
It should be fine... right?
