"Huh?" After hearing Hirako Mako's words, Shigami Jiromaru immediately looked at Lisa with a strange look in his eyes, which looked very strange.
"No...no...no! How could it be! How could I have any strange thoughts about him!"
Lisa hurriedly waved her hands and explained in a panic. But the blush on her face and the embarrassment flashing in her eyes were not convincing at all.
"No way! Lisa, are you really..."
Hirako Mako stared at Lisa in shock. It was originally just a joke, but looking at Lisa's current behavior, as Lisa's friend for many years, Hirako Mako certainly knew what Lisa's behavior meant.
"Mako!" Lisa glanced at Hirako Mako angrily, looking very dissatisfied.
"Haha, Lisa is shy. It's really rare!" Shishen Jiromaru naturally didn't know what Lisa was thinking, and he was still laughing heartlessly, as if he was watching a good show.
"Lisa," Mako Hirako looked at Lisa with serious eyes, "If you really have any ideas, I advise you to give up as soon as possible."
"Huh?" Sensing that the atmosphere of the conversation between Lisa and Makoto Hiroko seemed a little different, Shigami Jiromaru also noticed that things were a little different. This seemed to be more than just a simple joke or simple gossip. .
"Kimura is not as simple as you see." Makoto Hirako turned slightly sideways and looked at Kimura Muyang's back, "We just saw what he wanted us to see and felt what he wanted us to see. I feel it. However, during this period of time, I gradually felt his heart. The closer I got to him, the more I felt his reality hidden under his appearance."
"Real?" Lisa and Sishen Erlangwan asked in confusion.
"Loneliness! The closer I get to him, the more I feel the loneliness hidden in the deepest part of his heart. The loneliness that is so thick that it can't be dissolved. Although he has been laughing and playing with us, Kimura's deep heart He is lonely, not for anyone, but for the whole world. I feel like he is in a different world from all of us. No matter how you get close to him, there is a world between you and him that can never be touched. to him."
"Alone? Unreachable? People from a different world?"
Lisa and Shigami Jiromaru looked at Kimura Muyang who was walking in front, their eyes looking very confused. Could it be that Kimura Muyang, who was laughing and playing with them so intimately, had been in two different worlds all along? Could it be that everything he has been doing has been a disguise
"Don't think too much." Mako Hirako woke them up, "Kimura didn't try to disguise anything. What you have seen so far is not his disguise. The Kimura we see in daily life is also fine. Call it real.”
"Then what do you..." Although Lisa didn't finish her words, the meaning of her words was already self-evident. If this is the case, then why did Hirako Mako say that what they had been seeing was what Kimura wanted them to see? However, they couldn't touch Kimura's truth hidden deep in his heart.
"His behavior is more like a subconscious behavior. Maybe he didn't even notice it himself." Hirako Mako looked at Kimura Muyang who was walking in front and chatting and laughing with Jingraku Shunsui. "He didn't want to hide anything from us. , and indeed did not hide anything.”
"But the loneliness deep in his heart is indeed undeniable. I think that may be the deepest secret in his heart. Everyone has things that they don't want to say. Since he doesn't want to say it, as friends, we All we have to do is stay by his side and accompany him well."
"No matter what, the friendship between friends is undeniable."
"Yeah! Yes, I just want to know that he is my best friend."
"That's right," Lisa came back to her senses, with a relaxed smile on her face, and then looked at Hirako Mako, "Can't you see, Mako, you are quite reasonable when you say it. That serious expression just now really sounded like a captain. How it feels."
"Tch, forget it." Mako Hirako lowered his face and showed a lazy expression, "The captain thing is really troublesome. Just being a vice-captain already makes me very troublesome."
"Hey, what are you three doing behind you? Come follow me quickly."
Kimura Muyang and Jingraku Shunsui talked nonsense for a while, and made an appointment to go drinking together in the evening. They turned around and saw Mako and the three of them lagging behind. They didn't know what they were mumbling, and they spoke loudly. cried.
Hirako Mako and the three of them looked at each other, with a hint of tacit smile in their eyes. If Kimura really hides things that are difficult to talk about in his heart, and if there is really loneliness that cannot be resolved, then let them use it. Use your sincerity to influence the loneliness in his heart, and use their feelings to build a bridge between hearts.
"Coming, coming." Hirako Mako responded, and then the three of them lifted their legs and walked forward.
"By the way, Lisa." Mako Hirako suddenly stopped and glanced at Lisa, "Just give up your thoughts, Kimura already has someone in his heart."
"Um?"
Lisa was shocked when she heard Hirako Mako's words. Just as she was about to ask him carefully, Hirako Mako had already rushed directly behind Kimura Muyang in Shunbu. She was so angry that she could only cut Hirako Mako hatefully. As someone who loves to pry into hidden things, Hirako Makoto said half of this would have killed her.
"Hey, Lisa-chan, what interesting things were you talking about just now?" Kyoraku Shunsui asked inappropriately.
"This has nothing to do with you, Captain." Lisa said in a bad tone.
"Ahaha, I'm just asking casually, just asking."
Kyoraku Shunsui felt embarrassed when Lisa choked him like this. After all, it was really embarrassing to be said like this by his vice-captain in front of other captains! Fortunately, Kimura Muyang was present.

"Okay, okay, that's it for today. Our team has also recruited a few new players. Everyone should get along well in the future."
Kimura Muyang clapped his hands, looked at his team members and said, today their tenth team has recruited several people, especially among them are the best students of this batch, and he is quite satisfied.
"Fujisawa six seats."
"Yes, Captain."
"The vice-captain and I have other things to do, so you will lead the team and bring the team members back. After returning, you will talk to the new team members about some of the team's rules and so on, and take them to get familiar with us first. Regarding team affairs, I will hold a meeting in person tomorrow to introduce the new team members to you."
"Yes, captain." Fujisawa said respectfully, and then hesitantly said: "Well, captain, how should I tell Murai San?"
"Ahaha, just tell Mr. Murai that I have something to discuss with the Captain of the 8th Squadron, Kyōband. When I'm not around, the matters in the team will be handled by Mr. Murai."
Hearing Kimura Muyang's reply, the old team members below had black lines on their faces. Do you have something important to discuss with the captain of the 8th Division Kyōduan? It's probably because the captain has been too tired for a while and wants to drink some wine to relax and have a rest.
Although the captain's lame excuse made the team members below feel sweaty, the team members still understand their captain very well. Everything Kimura Muyang has done for the 10th Division during this period is obvious to all. Basically, he can be regarded as the busiest person in the 10th Division. It's just that Murai Sanchi will suffer.
Fujisawa Rokuzai mourned for Murai in his heart.

"Mako, Lisa asked you to find out the gossip for her."
Walking slowly on the way to the tavern, Kimura Muyang asked Mako Hirako next to her.
"Ah, but I rejected you, that kind of troublesome thing." Hirako Mako said with a slumped face.
"Why do you have this expression every day? It makes me lose my energy."
"Then you don't have to look. There are boring things all day long. Do you want me to deliberately put on a happy face?"
Kimura Muyang thought about it. If he really wanted to put on a cheerful face, would he still be Hirako Mako? The Hirako Mako in his impression was a carefree and free-spirited person, whether it was the Masked Captain Hirako Mako in the comics he read before, or the 10th Division Vice Captain Hirako Mako in real life.
"But Kimura, Lisa..."
"I know."
"Then what are you going to do?"
"have no idea."
Hirako Mako glanced at Kimura Muyang and knew he would be like this.
"What about yourself? You are also the captain now. If you..."
"Don't ask me, I just want to go have a drink and relax. I really don't know how to deal with relationship issues!"
Kimura Muyang gave a helpless smile. Regarding emotional matters, he really didn't know how to deal with them, so he could only drag them on.
"You are really..." Hirako Mako looked at the bitter smile on Kimura Muyang's face, and could only shake his head helplessly, "Forget it, you can do it yourself, I can't help it. But are you just like this? Do you want to keep putting it off?"
"I don't know, let's talk about it later, let's go have a drink first." Let time decide such annoying things, so let's go have a drink first.
With this thought in his mind, Kimura Muyang couldn't help but speed up his steps.
