I don't know how long it took for the warm coffee to stop pouring in and completely flow through the tip of my tongue, leaving behind a little sweetness that no longer belongs to MAX, but it is impossible to ignore its presence. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Isshiki let go of her arm and jumped back two steps slightly, her hands behind her back, her small face like a red cloud dyed by the sunset, making people feel mature and at the same time look so immature, exuding a deep gaze that does not match her age, looking at me obliquely. Suddenly, her thin lips moved slightly, and she stretched out her tongue and quickly roamed around the corners of her mouth, quickly bringing in the coffee left on it like a bird.

[Well, I received it as a quid pro quo for a bento.] ]

In just a moment, she changed back to her original appearance, her eyes changed back to her previous clear, slightly clever appearance, and replaced it with another smiling face that could not be seen to be mature, youthful, cute, and sunny. Except for the faint flush on the face under the eyes, everything was as usual, as if nothing had happened.

[Oh... Wait!]

In exchange? no, it's.... Something that doesn't belong to a dimension at all. I tried my best to do something, everything was good, but it was still in vain, the maximum movement was just to straighten my body, and I couldn't do anything else even if I took a step forward... Hands trembled uncontrollably.... I'm in.... Fear, fear, looking at the familiar color in front of me, I felt a new sense of unfamiliarity, that kind of unpredictable, unavoidable, irresistible mode of thought and action.

Just a few seconds later, in my dull gaze, she reached out again, her small palm held my chin, and she spread her index finger and gently wiped it on the side of my mouth, as if it was a little bit of coffee that had just spilled, and smiled [and a little more.]

I felt the slender and soft fingers gliding over my mouth, I wanted to turn my head away but couldn't move, I couldn't say anything, I swallowed the air bitterly, I could only silently watch what she did, who could... Come to me? Don't do that! I roared and roared in my heart, but to no avail.

Withdrew his hand, put his index finger in his mouth and sucked it gently, smiled at me again, and walked past me briskly, and then there was a sound of metal grinding and sliding the door, which made me wake up in an instant buried in the inner world, and when I turned around, Isseki was already standing outside the door, but she stuck her little head in through the crack in the door, lowered her body, and said to me in a mischievous tone that made people unable to move

[Senior,I remember that yesterday's request and promised sundae package has not been realized.,Let's go together next time~ See you after school]

After saying that, he quickly shrank his head like a mole.

[Whew....]

After a long time, I was finally relieved by this shock, and I let out a heavy breath and looked at the crack in the door that could only accommodate one person in and out.... Isshiki is gone, and I'm still here, is that self-deprecating? I can't face her calmly - as that kind of junior, junior, sister and the like. If that's a prank, this time... Really overplayed. But I guess that's what she said.... With a wry smile, he shook his head and walked out.

I took out my phone and checked the time, there are still ten minutes before class, and if I can leave now, I can close the door and walk in the direction of the classroom.

Isseki's determination, thoughts, pursuits, and actions cannot be interfered with or vetoed, even if they are all related to me. Although I have enough reasons to change and decompose it, I don't dare. Yes, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, and I can honestly accept the cowardice that I have shown in the face of this, but that's about it. Even when she did such an "excessive" thing, I was still forced to accept it, and if I stopped it, someone would get hurt, so I was afraid. The feeling of alienation that Isshiki brought to me in just a few dozen minutes today, the kind of unsuitable mode of action and unusually firm will that did not conform to the original, and the kind of mature beauty that made people unable to extricate themselves exuded, was exactly what I feared. It can be said that he has the wisdom and appearance of an elf, but he has a mind comparable to Helms. If you can't get something, then get it in another way. Persistence has become her biggest weapon and motivation at this time, and I... It can't be stopped. Will there be a solution to all these problems?

"Ding Ding Ding" A piercing bell rang after class, pulling my mind back to reality, weakly crawling on the table, this afternoon, I kept thinking, recalling every thing Isse did, every detail, every word I said, including the time spent, eager to parse the answer I wanted from these things, but I found nothing, only confusion and shame continued to impact my reason through the memories of my brain.

[Small, small business....]

Suddenly, there was a long-lost salutation from the side, and among the people I knew, there was only one person....

I looked up and saw that Yubihama had already put away her schoolbag and was standing next to my desk, one hand was gently clenched into a fist on her chest, and there was a worried expression on her face, she was supposed to be very energetic and now looked a little depressed, even the pink dango head was not so conspicuous.

[How, what's wrong, Yubihama... Something....]

At the moment when I was about to ask this sentence, I suddenly realized what I had forced it to take back, and I shouldn't have asked, obviously I knew very well what she was worried about.... I'm such a fool.

[Today... I haven't been in any energy since I came back from my lunch break.... So...]

While worried about me, there was some hesitation in her words, I knew it was because she hadn't found a place between us, but even so... You can still look at me so gently, thank you.

[Oh, don't worry, I've always been like this, such a listless existence is me]

I tried to look more energetic, and my voice was raised a little, and now was not the time to explain to her. So I chose to hide.

[Also...] That... Let's go to the activity room..]

In the face of such daily explanations, she looked at me helplessly and sadly, and after a while, turned around and walked towards the door.

[Hey....]

Looking at the back that disappeared around the corner, the bitterness in my heart was incomprehensible, perhaps, Yubihama is still working hard, trying to mediate this uncomfortable connection, but because of that pain, I can't let go. Yubihama has also changed, and will make choices according to his mood. Grow.... There is also a price to pay, but the price she paid is a bit serious for me....

[Activity Room .....] Yes, I still have club activities, obviously I am already a student in the third year of high school, according to the regulations, the club activities in the third year of high school will stop in September.... Is there less than a month left? That little classroom will also become a memory, and it can be regarded as a special memory... Everything I have comes from there, will not disappear, will not forget, what remains is the beautiful memories that happened, experienced, and felt there. So, will the things that bothered me leave behind also get perfect answers in that little place?

I'm sure she will, because she's still there waiting for me. A sense of trust that has never been felt before.

I put away my school bag, glanced at the classroom, which was no longer empty, shook my head, and walked out.
