Miss Sora, Grit Your Teeth!

Therefore, the term "heavy-hearted woman" should not be used around her.

But the fact is, her deliberate pursuit of Texas today, her confrontation with Maria, and her current suppressed state of mind all indicate that her feelings have deteriorated to a rather heavy degree.

Normally, someone who likes another person wouldn't do something like stalking...

Sora knew the problem with her actions, but... she just couldn't help it...

She's tested the waters with Texas many times... from her first time joining Penguin Logistics, to their occasional battles, rests, and outings together...

Sora was always subtly probing Texas's thoughts.

If Texas had realized this at that time and refused, things might have turned out differently.

But those things are ultimately impossible.

Emotions suppressed in the heart are like seeds; if they don't receive proper care, they will mutate.

Some people will realize this abnormality and choose to give up in order to protect their relationship, while others will let the feelings change.

Clearly, in the case of Texas, Sora should fall into the latter category.

The prolonged attempts to get a response caused her ideas to stray somewhat from her initial goals.

If she initially approached Texas out of gratitude and curiosity, she has now clearly distorted that desire.

She longed to get closer to that mysterious Texas, and also longed to become some kind of support for Texas.

After she joined Penguin Logistics, her feelings in this area had reached a certain stability, and she was happy to play the role of the follower who pursued Texas but never got what she wanted.

Everyone spent each day in this ordinary yet happy way...

But... Maria's arrival changed everything.

Everyone could see that Texas's situation had changed dramatically after Maria appeared.

What she once thought Texas didn't care about actually existed in her heart all along.

Nothing is more heartbreaking than being disliked by someone you like, than thinking that the person you like is simply uninterested, only to find out that it's because they don't like you.

Texas wasn't devoid of feelings; she simply never saw herself as an object of affection...

Sora was initially somewhat jealous.

But ever since she saw Texas looking at Maria with longing eyes in a corner where no one was watching, she also felt that she had been a little too selfish.

If this is what happiness is for Texas- senpai, then why should I prevent her from finding happiness?

This plunged Kong into deep self-doubt.

On the one hand, she wanted Texas to be happy; on the other hand, she couldn't convince herself to just give up.

Even now, all she wants is a definite, definitive answer that will allow her to finally give up.

The problem is that neither Texas nor Maria gave her a clear answer.

This kept the restless anticipation in her heart beating.

She still hasn't given up on Texas!

The words Texas had just overheard at the door dealt her a heavy blow.

She came to Maria, feeling lost, hoping to get an answer from Maria.

She was prepared: if Maria said yes, she would smile and give them both her blessings; if not, she would continue pursuing her.

Shining Idols won't give up because of one setback!

The problem is that even Maria didn't give her an answer.

This further fueled her inner turmoil.

She pursed her lips, feeling a little wronged.

Is she someone who comes in cheap?

She knew from the very beginning that it was all one-sided expectation from Texas... so it was only natural that she didn't get a response.

But... at least give me something!

Whether you refuse or accept, at least give some response.

Instead, it's as if everyone is deliberately torturing themselves, refusing to give themselves a result.

I can never seem to fit into the other person's life...

This fact made her extremely upset.

Maria also saw through Sora's complicated thoughts.

Unfortunately, it was too difficult to get her to understand the reason for her emotions. After a moment of silence, she quietly poured her a cup of black tea.

"I know you probably have a lot of ideas, but... how about we relax for now?"

Maria remained calm and composed.

She felt that whatever her thoughts were, calming down first was definitely the best approach.

As long as you can stay calm and talk things out, there's no problem that can't be solved.

At that moment, Sora bit her lip.

Ms. Maria... do you think your relationship with your Texas predecessor is flawless, and that's why you're taking pity on me, a loser?!

But... even so, what else can I do?

Ms. Maria and her Texas predecessor clearly have a deep past... and as someone who comes later, how can she possibly contend with such a connection between the two?

It seems there's only one path left...

Give up...

The more one ponders, the more silent the void becomes.

But at that moment, Maria slowly narrowed her eyes.

She noticed that the girl's body temperature was rising steadily... and her heart was beating faster and faster, as if it were about to burst at some critical point!

And things turned out exactly as Maria had predicted.

As Kong's body temperature continued to rise, the girl seemed to have made her own choice, suddenly raising her head to look at Maria.

As expected... I still can't let go of my Texas senior...

Even knowing that Ms. Maria and her Texas predecessor had a complicated past, she still didn't intend to give up!

In the war called love, unless utterly defeated, there is always a chance!

She, Kong, would absolutely not give up like this!

She stood up decisively, and to everyone's surprise, she resolutely extended her hand!

"Lady Maria! I declare war on you!"

"Huh?!"

In the next room, two girls stared in surprise at the empty screen.

Croissant somewhat worried.

"They... won't start fighting, will they?"

Although they couldn't hear what the two people in the room were saying, they could see Kong's expression and movements.

Judging from the gesture of reaching out, it seems that Kong made some extraordinary declaration.

This was something neither Exusiai nor Croissant had anticipated.

After all, Sora had always been a pretty peaceful person... I never expected him to show such a tough side when it came to matters involving Texas...

Are they going to start fighting?!

"... Surely it's not that serious?" Exusiai, her words somewhat uncertain. "Sora probably didn't mean to fight... she must have said something else, right?"

"You just got a little emotional, that's why you did that?"

Exusiai looked at Croissant, trying to gain her approval.

But Croissant got confused at this point.

"So... do you understand what's really going on? Is Sora... alright?"

"... I don't know." Exusiai stated her thoughts very frankly.

Sora's thoughts have always been the most subtle in Penguin Logistics... This is related to the fact that she is usually busy with idol activities and rarely comes into contact with other people in Penguin Logistics.

Even she could only vaguely sense that Sora liked Texas.

But faced with the current situation, she could only reluctantly interpret it as a futile attempt to fight Maria for the ownership of Texas...

But this answer clearly did not resolve her current doubts.

Now... what exactly is going on?

Chapter 130 Miss Kong, grit your teeth!

Maria was stunned after Maria declared war on her.

She hesitated for a moment before looking at the empty space with a slight frown.

She simply couldn't fathom what Sora had been thinking about to make such a choice towards herself.

But one thing she was certain of.

"I think... you need to calm down right now. There's no conflict between us, Miss Kong."

Maria continued to try to communicate with the other party using language.

But at this moment, Kong felt a calmness he had never experienced before.

"I know what I'm saying, Ms. Maria."

Kong looked at Maria in front of him, his gaze gradually hardening.

She figured something out.

Admittedly, she still doesn't understand what the relationship is between Maria and Texas, and her pursuit of Texas may have been doomed to failure from the start.

But... liking is liking, and there's no reasoning behind it.

Success or failure.

Whatever the outcome, you have to do it to find out!

Giving up what you can gain will only lead to regret!

Does she want to regret it?

The answer is no!

"I know you have a very deep past, but... I will not give up on you!"

Kong raised his head seriously, looked at Maria, and gritted his teeth!

"This is my resolve! Lady Maria! I declare war on you!"

Kong looked at Maria with utmost seriousness.

"I know you have far more than I do, but... I also have my reasons for challenging you!"

"I can accept failure, but I will never accept the failure of doing nothing! And I will never lose!"

The blond-haired Sora resolutely stated his thoughts to Maria once again.

This idea stunned Maria.

She looked at the empty space in front of her, her head slightly lowered.

She could sense that Sora was serious.

She truly wanted to declare war on herself.

But...

Why?
