"Jealous..." Yukino Yukinoshita said noncommittally. "So what?" Sogo Doma continued staring lazily at the ceiling. "Jealousy can turn into admiration, respect, or even worship. It's true that humans get jealous, but they also admire the strong..." "..." "Yukinoshita, in my opinion, what has always troubled you isn't being outstanding—it's not being outstanding enough..." "..." The second daughter froze for a moment, then murmured, "Not outstanding enough?" "Isn't that right? Take your inability to socialize with people, for instance..." "..." What did he mean, she was bad at socializing? She simply didn't want to waste time on pointless social interactions, and besides... But before she could speak, Sogo Doma said, "By the way, do you think there's nothing wrong with being bad at socializing?" "..." "Yukinoshita..." Seeing that she remained silent, Sogo Doma continued, "Do you know what you lack compared with your sister?" Yukino Yukinoshita: -_- What did he mean, what she lacked compared with her sister? Did he seriously think her sister was better than her? Although her sister really was better than her, but... Even as she grumbled inwardly, she still wanted to know. "What do I lack?" If he said something about interpersonal relationships, she definitely wouldn't let him continue! "What you lack is that you take things too seriously..." Sogo Doma glanced at her. "Or rather, in your eyes, this world only has two states: right or wrong, black or white..." "..." "Unfortunately, this world isn't simply black and white. It's an exquisite shade of gray..." As he spoke, Sogo Doma withdrew the hand supporting the back of his head and raised his index finger. "Speaking of which, just now, you chose neither to become friends with that saint nor to become her enemy. You chose to be strangers..." "Those are two different things, aren't they?"
