Already, the clear eyes that exist in the chaos have long seen through the front (below)

The figure that coincided with the voice in her impression appeared at the door of the classroom, ignoring the somewhat stunned gaze of the three of us, and walked in as she had said, with no intention of asking for anyone's consent at all.

A very eye-catching red coat and short jeans that just didn't go over the thighs, a white shoulder bag on his shoulder, with black leggings and brown boots, which are completely different from the student attire, youthful and slightly mature, and most importantly, this person has the same thing as under the snow- Even the appearance above this, perhaps because of a little light makeup, the beauty of the dignified and beautiful face is more easily highlighted than before, and when there is that sunny smile, anyone who has seen it will lose immunity to it.

So.. I'll admit, the moment I first walked through the door, I was stunned.

Not only me, but Yubihama and Yukishita were stunned, and although I didn't know why they were like me, the classroom suddenly fell silent.

Yono glanced at the door, walked over to me, pulled over an empty chair, and sat down next to me.

[Eh~ This is chocolate, right?]

[... Yes.. No, what are you going to do?]

Although I knew that asking this question would mean nothing to the result that this person was already sitting next to me, I couldn't help but ask... Although I'm not a person who can understand the atmosphere very well, I don't know how to deal with the tense atmosphere, so I won't talk about Hihama's intently gaze, but the eyebrows that are about to twist together under the snow tell me that if I keep silent, I should see the silence of Japan next...

[Well, because today is Valentine's Day, of course I'm here to deliver chocolates~To Hikiya-kun~]

As he spoke, Yono took out a boxy pure white gift box directly from his bag, then smiled at me, put it on the table and slowly pushed it in front of me, and put it together with the two boxes before.

[I made it myself, so please send it back on White Day.] ]

After saying this, before I could speak, Yono shifted his gaze to the other two gift boxes, revealing a look full of interest

[Whew...] Let me guess who sent these two - one of them is Xiaoxueno, right?]

Yono looked up at the snow with a smile of confirmation, and the latter took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly, responding in an indifferent voice

[Sister... Please don't do anything superfluous..]

[This sentence should be me, right?Xiaoxueno~]

As if it was a rivalry, Yang Nai said it unceremoniously, but what was surprising was that there was no follow-up at all under the snow, and Yang Nai didn't continue to say anything more on this topic, but continued to pick up on the previous topic

[That... The rest of this should have been given by Sister Bihama?]

In the same way, he also cast a confirmed gaze towards Yubihama, and when Yono asked this, Yubihama straightened his sitting posture with some restraint

[Hmm, ah.] Because I usually receive a lot of care from small businesses... Oh yes, it's Friendship Chocolate!Well, Friendship Chocolate!]

[That's it~ I see, it's pretty good.] ]

Yono nodded, indicating understanding, and was unexpectedly satisfied?... Anyway, it's not something you should be satisfied with, is it? sure it wasn't sent out of pity or sympathy?!

[Miss Yono.] ]

Just as I was thinking about this wildly, Yubihama's voice came again, and along with the voice was a rare serious look in his eyes, looking directly at Yono

[You... Why would you give chocolates to small businesses?]

Yubihama's face hesitated as he spoke, but even because of it, the question still reached everyone's ears.

I couldn't help but hold my breath, and under the snow, I looked at Yono with a slightly confused look, probably as nervous as I was about the next answer.

There was a slight look of surprise on Yono's face, but it was only for a moment, and then she covered it up well, looked around at the three of us, and showed an irresistible smile that made people unable to see their faces

[Yes, at such times, if you don't have a valid reason, it becomes very troublesome to give chocolates to boys, right?]

Speaking of this, Yono paused suddenly as if he thought of something, gently supported his chin with his hand, and looked at the side under the snow, the two looked at each other, Yono kept smiling, and then continued

[No, maybe.] You don't need any good reason. If it's a reason, it's okay to be legitimate or not, right? Yes, what is the reason why I sent chocolates to Biqi Gu-kun~]

Yono deliberately dragged out her voice, ignoring the other two's blade-like gaze, and she slowly shifted her gaze to me

[Biqi Tani-kun, you should know, right?]

[Sister...]

[...]

If it's the reason Yang Nai said.. Of course I know, though, why would this person... If it's just time, it's understandable, but there's no need to run here at all.... And, in the end, I was only half-convinced about what happened that evening, because no matter how I thought or guessed, I couldn't get a satisfactory answer.

I quietly glanced at Yubihama, who was frozen in place, out of the corner of my eye, and then secretly glanced under the snow, and sighed silently in my heart

[Ahh At last... Punishment game bar.]

Oh, yes... Punishment game, but the object of punishment is not her, but me.

[Punishment... Games?]

As a matter of course, Yubihama could not understand such an answer, and I could not explain more.

[Uh-huh, it's a punishment game~ Sister Yubihama]

Yang Nai agreed, and continued my words

[Oh, oh... It's a punishment game... Punish... Originally.. That's it..]

The doubts were still not explained, but Yubihama ended the conversation with speculation, but it was obvious that the atmosphere at this time had become much heavier than before.

The so-called reason: It doesn't matter if it's legitimate or illegal, acceptable or unacceptable, as long as someone uses it. So, in the face of those unacceptable facts, the reason... It has become the easiest weapon for people to use. can be used, weapons, but more often than not, the people who suffer the most from this "weapon" are the users themselves.

It's like right now—

The silence under the snow, the silence of Yubihama, the silence of mine.
