The sun shines obliquely, reflecting Aragaki Ayase's confused face.

"Maybe it's just a glitch, right?"

Aragaki muttered like this, not taking the coin handed over by Kazeta, as if he was thinking about something a little.

After a while, he spoke to Feng Tai.

"In that case, I'll leave the 200 yen to my brother!"

"No, I can't take this. ”

"However, if this is the case, this can of juice will not be paid, and since my brother has helped me so much, I will leave it to my brother to deal with. ”

Pushing Kazeta's palm away, Aragaki blended in with her soothing voice as the waves crashed against the rocks on the shore by the sea.

"No, no, Aragaki. ”

Rejecting Aragaki who was a little uneasy, he spoke again: "I can't accept taking my sister's friend's money just for a small favor. ”

It's not that I don't understand Aragaki feeling like getting juice without any effort, but in this way, it's the same for Kazeta.

"Well, that's the only way to do it. ”

After Ayase Aragaki said this, she walked to the vending machine and threw two 100 yen coins into it.

"Great, nothing happened. ”

Don't lose or earn......

Thinking so, Feng Tai asked his question: "Doesn't Aragaki need tutoring today?"

Aragaki laughed 'hehe' before he said proudly to Feng Tai: "I have a job as a model today, so I took advantage of the break to come out to buy juice." ”

After the sound of self-satisfaction dissipated from the vending machine, Kazeta began to pay attention to what Aragaki was wearing today.

A light green skirt and a white coat are combined, and pink ladyshoes with a girly hue are worn on the pure white ankles.

It gives people a fresh and comfortable girlish atmosphere.

“…… Wouldn't it be nice to get someone to help you run your legs?"

"It's okay, but I'm new and I'm not very tired from work. ”

Kazeta, who looked understanding, nodded, and then he continued to ask questions about Aragaki standing in the fishy sea breeze.

"Is Kirino coming?"

"Kirino doesn't seem to have a job today, doesn't my brother know?"

I wanted to know, but she never told me!

While complaining in his heart, he turned to face Aragaki's body.

“…… I'll go find a vending machine. ”

Waving his hand behind him, the wind was too treading on the mud and stone paved road.

"I'll be with you, brother. ”

With such words, Aragaki caught up with Kazeta with brisk steps with his hands behind his back.

"Isn't there a job in Aragaki?"

"It won't come out until the sun sets, but it's time to rest. ”

"It's nice to have such a long break......

Under the sunlight, on the road that has never been walked before, Kazeta and Aragaki with waist-length hair walk side by side.

But that's all there is to it, and Feng Tai has no idea what to say now.

"That's it. ”

I don't know what to talk about, but if I don't say something, the atmosphere will become awkward.

Even if you add in today's meeting at the vending machine, the number of times they have seen each other is only twice.

Of course, I don't know what the other party is taboo about, and Feng Tai can only talk about irrelevant topics.

"It's so hot. ”

"Well, well, that's true. ”

While chatting about dispensable words, he walked on the straight road near the sea.

In the sea breeze and the chirping of summer cicadas, you can also feel subtle changes in this unconsciously.

"Is that so? Then next time you need it, you can come to my house to find me tutoring, and I have no problem with my homework in junior high school. ”

"Thanks, sorry for the trouble. ”

With that, another vending machine selling soda juice appeared in sight.

After pulling the coin out of his pocket, Futa threw it in.

However, the vending machine does not move at all, it does not move like a mountain, it is as solid as a rock, it is shocking, it is earth-shattering, the earth is shaking, and it is out of reach.

All in all, the vending machine was unresponsive.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Aragaki expressed her thoughts.

"Maybe the coin is stuck, right?"

"That's bad luck. ”

Saying this, Feng Tai looked carefully at the coin mouth of the vending machine, and there was nothing abnormal.

"It doesn't look like a card coin. ”

"It must be the same as that one. ”

"I can only find one, it's hot, and I'll die if I don't drink carbonated drinks......"

Fortunately, vending machines are not uncommon.

At the next corner, a vending machine with a red shell stands.

"So, bad luck will follow, Aragaki will follow. ”

Trotting all the way, Futa took out a hundred yen coins from his pocket again.

Then, a coin clicked into the slot.

However, this vending machine is exactly the same as the previous one.

The lines are not moving, they are not moving like a mountain, they are as solid as a rock, the stones are shocking, they are earth-shattering, the earth is shaking the mountains, and they are out of reach.

Aragaki behind him burst out laughing.

“……”

"Good luck, brother!"

“……”

"Count me out of luck. ”

He strode towards the second vending machine at the corner.

Click, click, click.

“……”

The world is full of malice.

I thought that if I got off to a good start this morning, I would be lucky.

After a short wait, the vending machine in front of him still didn't react in the slightest, as if it was laughing at Feng's childish idea.

"Still no, brother. ”

“……”

As if he hadn't heard Aragaki's words, Kazeta stared straight at the white and green vending machine in front of him.

Suddenly, he stared sharply, and then he stretched out his arm, which was not thick.

And then—

Bang dang!

"Suffer death! You must have been sent by the world consciousness to prevent me from becoming a god!"

Bang dang!

The loud sound was caused by the beating of the wind.

"This world!

"Brother, don't knock around!!"

In the irritating cry of the summer cicadas, under the blowing of the sea breeze, Kaze's actions were stopped by the panicked Ayase Aragaki.

Is it really the sun that blinded your head?

Thinking so, he sat down on the wooden bench next to the vending machine.

"Die of thirst ......"

When he muttered so quietly, he also glanced at Ayase Aragaki from the corner of his eye.

She was holding the juice in both hands, and she was taking small sips.

Noticing Kazeta's gaze, she seemed to have made up her mind and stood up straight from the brown bench.

Then, standing in front of Fengtai, he opened his mouth slightly.

"No, Aragaki appreciates you wanting to share the juice with me, but I don't like fruit ......"

Just as she was about to make a sweet voice that matched her delicate appearance, she was interrupted by the sudden opening of the wind.

Before a complete sentence could be spoken, Ayase Aragaki, who was a little flustered because of Takasaka Kazeta's words, hurriedly waved his hand.

"No, brother, I don't want to drink with you, I just want to try again?"

“……”

What a shame!!

It's like being asked to meet in the atrium of the school after school by a red-faced girl in the back seat, thinking that she is going to confess to herself, only to find that the words that come out of her mouth mean that she can lend me her homework?

It's embarrassing!!

No matter how much turmoil there was in his heart, Futa still pretended to be calm on the surface, he coughed lightly, and then asked Aragaki questions.

"Try what?"

"Knock on the vending machine together. ”

“…… Good!"

It must have been an accident just now, so I knew that it wouldn't happen a second time.

But if it does happen again, if it succeeds, I always feel that something good will happen.

Thinking so, Kazeta and Aragaki stood side by side in front of the vending machine as before.

"So, it's time to begin, brother!"

"Yes, yes, ready—"
