As usual, I pushed my bicycle and waited at the school gate under the snow, which was supposed to be with Yubihama, but she was the only one who was rare today. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

[Waiting.] ]

[Let's go]

Saying this, he had come to the other side of the car under the snow, and walked out of the school gate at the same speed, and put his schoolbag into the basket of the bicycle for a long time, as if he was planning to travel lightly.. But there's something wrong.

After walking for about five minutes, with a sigh, the topic of today finally started under the snow.

[Ha.... Are you going to go on in silence?]

She rubbed her temples with her hands as she spoke, looking very nerve-wracking

[Oh... Or else?]

[Although you used to be like this, but now it's the time for the two of them to go back together for a long time, don't you have a little bit of anticipation?]

[..... Expect.... The significance is unknown...]

Fake, right... What else could I expect... Even though I may have been a little excited at the beginning, I was able to go home alone with a beautiful girl from school... But now... There is only peace of mind... I'm kind of growing.

After answering so directly, it seems that there is a little temper under the snow... Suddenly, I pressed the position of the bicycle cushion, and I stopped because of her, and I looked back, hey.... There's no need to make such an "angry" expression...

Not.... She was really angry, she twisted her head to the side, I don't know if it was because of anger or whatever, anyway, her face under the bags under her eyes became a little rosy, and one hand continued to press the cushion tightly

... Well, I'll admit I'm looking forward to going back with Miss Snow... So, stop playing with kids, okay... It's awkward... Hawkers,I'm pretty good at this situation.,After all, I have a small town.,At this time, just follow a specific route and coax a little..

[That... Yukino.]

[Hold the front of the car tight!]

[What?]

Why? Although En was puzzled, the movements of his hands were autonomous, and the front of the car was fixed in a second.

Then, I was a little surprised to see that I jumped on the back seat of the bicycle very lightly under the snow... Ha.. Is that what it means? Completely uneasy to play the cards... But then again, it's been a short time since she last rode a bike... It's been a long time.

[Whew...] He sighed so softly and was ready to continue pushing the bicycle forward.

There was a "knock" sound behind him, and he had to stop the car again.

[What's wrong?] confirmed with the peripheral vision of his eyes that the sound was from the snow hitting the cushion... Anything else?

[Hachiman-kun.] ]

[Oh]

[Drive me back]

[Aren't you already in the car now...]

She leaned down as close to my ear as she could with her hands on the mat, and whispered with a faint smell of shampoo perfume

[But... You're not here.]

Probably... I mean, probably because my ears were a little uncomfortable with the wet heat, I tilted my head a little, and the corner of my eye unconsciously looked at the side under the snow

[This... It's against the law...] Bicycles can't carry people, okay... Don't you have any common sense?

[Breaking the law is based on being discovered, and.] I don't think it's illegal, but if I say it, it's a violation.]

[So it's not allowed anyway...]

[But I've heard that someone often takes his sister to school, as a good citizen, shouldn't we go and report it to the traffic control department?]

Under the snow, he laughed and said something like this that made people unhappy...

[Hmm... No, no...]

Saying... How did you know under the snow that I used to carry Komachi to school... I got off the bus when I was still 500 meters away from the school...

Under the snow, she symbolically tapped the cushion again, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a crescent-like smile, already announcing her victory.

Damn it... I can't blame everything for something... No matter what...

Sighing as he stepped onto the bike, he took a few more deep breaths... Except for Komachi: It's the first time that such a crew has been carried ...

When I was ready, I got on the bike and started it.Although it was as smooth as possible, it was probably because it was heavier than Komachi under the snow, but I still couldn't control the strength, and the bike shook a little due to uneven acceleration.

[Uh-huh!]

The snow let out a lovely exclamation under the sudden shaking, so, out of habit, I hugged everything in front of me that I could hold on to. His hands directly stopped my waist, and, judging by the feeling coming from behind, the former residence also put his face up... So...

[Yes, I'm sorry...] Are you alright?] It's just the moment I started, my bike skills are pretty good, and I'm perfectly at a constant pace now.

[Eh.eh, it's okay.]

I'm still a little scared... This voice has betrayed you, oh, under the snow... Could it be that .. This is also something she is not good at?

Because now it's a relationship between the two of them... I couldn't walk that three-way intersection anymore, so I chose to take a detour to the park, although it was a little farther away, but it was calmer and I didn't have to worry about being stopped by the police.

However, she is not calm behind her... She kept moving her head, as if to find a more comfortable position, gently rubbing it on my back, and judging from the coming out of my back... Probably.. I have already attached most of my upper body up... It still feels a little soft.... No, no... Hallucinations... Miss Under the Snow.... Sure enough, I'm still a little nervous...

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Twenty minutes later, I arrived at the apartment downstairs under the snow... It's nice not to get caught by the police uncle...

Although I have walked a long way, I am not very tired now, and I myself ride a lot to be one of the reasons, and the most important thing is that it is actually very light under the snow.

[Arrived...]

[Huh?huh.... Thanks..]

But even after answering this, there was still no movement under the snow, and I continued to stay on the bike in this kind of climbing state... What's wrong...

[No.. That one.. It's time to get off...]

After a few seconds, I felt a loosening of my back, it should have been that she raised her head, and sat up straight.

[Whew....] I breathed a sigh of relief, slowly let go of the hands that had been wrapped around my waist, jumped lightly, got off the bike, and my task was completed.

She quickly sorted out her clothes, walked to the front and carried her school bag, and then, standing straight in front of the bicycle, maybe it was the tension in the car just now, and her face was still slightly red.

[Aren't you getting off?]

[I'll go back soon.I promised Komachi that I'll bring dinner back..]

[Really... However, I have something to say.]

So, I also walked out and parked the car and waited for her words.

He smiled under the snow, glanced at the supported bicycle next to him, and stared back at me, and after a few seconds, [ha...] He exhaled heavily.

[Hachiman... Have you ever thought to ask why?]

[What why?]

[Doesn't it matter if I'm inexplicably stopped?] Saying this, he looked helpless under the snow, and walked two steps forward with his schoolbag on his back and came to me.

[There is no such thing as inexplicable...] Did you stop me for some reason?

[It's not just me... Isshiki、Yubihama or Sasaki and Ebina Miurato....]

[If you are called, there should be something, so it probably doesn't matter if you listen to it... It's nothing, anyway] though it's unclear why she suddenly said this... But there must be a reason for it - I'm so sure.

[Yes, you've already paid too much for that...] A gentle smile under the snow, but there is also a faint sadness hidden under the smiling face [this indiscriminate gentleness... Can you change it a little bit? For me.]

Looking at the expectant eyes under the snow, for the first time... I have doubts about my daily life... It's just a hint of doubt.

[It's not... It's just that... It's just a habit... So...]

[So, no one can be the most special being, so to speak... You understand, right? Hachiman]

The gentle tone, anticipation and soft eyes as always, the long hair gently flowing with the cool evening breeze, and the face underneath is a face that is intertwined with desolation and beauty-I... Wrong again?

Yes... I was wrong! The cause of the error is unknown, but now it is clear that I was wrong.

Slowly, a palpitating uneasiness permeated.
