Otonogihan Gakuin, near the school building. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoIt was nearly five o'clock, the sun was sinking slightly, and the sun was shining a little warmly.

A diagonal shadow stretched out from beneath his feet.

Natsu Yu scratched his hair, and there was a fair girl standing in front of him, it was Nishikino Mahime.

The long bright red shawl hair, shining in the sun, lined her beautiful face with crimson, and people couldn't take their eyes off it.

In the studio hall just now, the three of Takasaka Honogo jointly invited Maki Nishikino to join the muse. And the latter agreed.

It's just that Mahime Nishikino also added a premise - the time when she joined the muse, not now.

Then he didn't continue, but looked at Xia You with a red cheek, saying that he had something to tell him.

In that atmosphere, with that blushing and hesitant look, saying this kind of line, all the women present inevitably blushed, thinking that Nishikino Mahime wanted to confess.

This is not surprising.

After all, just now, Nishikino Mahime confronted Eri Ayase for Natsuyu.

Seeing this scene, anyone would think that there must be some story between Xia Yu and Nishikino Mahime.

Therefore, when Nishikino Mahime said that she had something to say to Xia You, all the women present left together very tacitly.

And Takasaka Honogo also smiled and said that she would wait for the next time to talk to Nishikino Mahime, and then have a good talk.

Subsequently, after everyone left one after another, Xia You followed the silent Nishikino Mahime to this school building.

Of course, Megumi Kato did not leave, but waited.

After all, she came here at the request of Ayase, and Xia You naturally couldn't let her go back alone, so I asked her to wait for the time being, and then go back together after talking to Nishikino Mahime.

And Kato naturally has no opinion.

It's just that when she agreed, the expression on her face made Xia You feel weak for a while, and she felt like she was caught cheating by her wife.

It's just that the expression is fleeting, and it returns to being as calm as ever, so Xia You can't figure out whether Megumi Kato is angry or not.

But when I think about it, even if I don't get angry, I'm probably a little unhappy.

After all, Xia You came with her, but she had to wait alone.

And Xia You herself is talking to another cute girl.

Thinking about it this way, it's really scummy.

Let's treat Kato to another day.

But in the end, Xia You is also very innocent.

He is undoubtedly very grateful to Nishikino Mahime, who was the first to speak for him when he was targeted at Ayase Eri just now, and he was angry for protecting him.

That appearance made Xia You very moved.

It's just that, while being moved, Xia You was also very puzzled.

Because from Nishikino Mahime's words, it feels as if she knows him very well.

But Xia You can't remember what happened to him and her.

In his memory, the first time he met Mahime Nishikino was an interview at the Kirika Cafe.

Before that, Xia Yu really had no impression of where he had seen Maki Nishikino.

It stands to reason that Nishikino Mahime shouldn't know him very well.

Xia You was puzzled in his heart, the reason why he followed Nishikino Mahime here was also because he wanted to find out about this matter.

However, since coming here, Nishikino Mahime has been silent, which makes Xia You quite helpless.

He touched his nose and couldn't help asking:

"Well, Nishikino-san, what did you just say—what did you want to tell me?"

"Hmm......"

Nishikino Mahime's cheeks were crimson.

She raised her head slightly, glanced at Xia You, and quickly withdrew her gaze, her cheeks reddening a little.

Under the orange sun, it's really super cute, and you can't take your eyes off it at all.

As if deliberately, she wrapped her slender hand around the green silk and muttered in a tone, "You're really impatient." ”

"Ahaha....."

It's impossible for anyone to stay calm when they are called to a place like this by a girl.

Not to mention that the girl is still very cute.

Taking a deep breath, Maki Nishikino seemed to calm down and whispered:

"Anyway, sit down. She squinted to the chair next to her.

"Oh......" nodded, and Xia You sat down.

Then, Maki Nishikino brushed her hair and sat down as well.

The position where she sat was almost touching her shoulders from Natsuyu.

“......”

Hey, why is it sitting on this four-person bench as if it were a two-person bench?

Isn't it a little too close?

Although in the marginal position, barely and without physical contact, as long as Xia You moves a little, he will immediately touch her, which is this very wonderful balance position.

In terms of the relationship between the two of them, who don't know each other too well and talk no more than five times, it seems a little too close.

Of course, Xia You didn't hate this kind of distance.

It's just that the faint fragrance that comes from Nishikino Mahime from time to time makes it really difficult for him to stay calm, and he is quite restless.

But Xia You was afraid to move some distance, which would make Nishikino Mahime feel as if he disliked her a little, so he only stiffened like a stone.

“.......”

Xia You couldn't help but glance at the girl next to her, and found that her face was also terribly red, as if she would smoke when she poured water.

He looked so embarrassed that he was about to faint.

This made Xia You a little crying and laughing, and said in his heart that since he was so nervous, why did he sit like this, I really couldn't understand.

No way, he coughed lightly and said:

"Nishikino-san, don't be nervous, take it easy. ”

Nishikino Maki turned her face away, "I'm not nervous!"

Her tone was a little arrogant.

"Really? Is that what you want to say to me?"

"Hmm......"

Nishikino Maki lowered her head, her hands tugging at the hem of her skirt, and she kept glancing over with some concern, squirming the corners of her mouth as if she had something unspeakable.

Being made to look like this is so cowardly, even Xia You inevitably has strange associations.

Hey, hey, hey, don't you really want to confess to me, do you?

Want to confess?

But we don't seem to have seen each other many times before—well, but the manager of Chihiro said that Maki Nishikino seems to be a fan of mine?

Fans and idols.

Could it be that I have a chance-

Oh no, no, no! I actually took it seriously and thought about how I would answer if I was told nothing.

It's a shame to be thrown home.

“...... Xia Youjun. ”

Just when Xia You was thinking wildly, Nishikino Mahime's slightly embarrassed hesitant voice rang out.

This made Xia You think that his thoughts had been seen through, and he straightened up like a conditioned reflex, and responded busily.

"Well, what's the matter?"

Anyway, this seems to be the first time Xia Yu has heard Nishikino Maki call his name.

"Can you-"

Nishikino Mahime's cheeks were crimson.

Goo.

Saliva swallows, heart beats.

Should you really be confessed?

Am I finally about to get the confession of the first girl in my life?

"-Come to my recital?!"

As if with all her might, Maki Nishikino shouted.

The slightly desperate voice penetrated, and the surroundings were quiet for a moment.

Xia You was slightly dumbfounded.

"Huh, performances, recitals?"

Not noticing Natsuyu's somewhat stunned expression, Nishikino Mahime nodded with a red face.

Her gaze wandered to the long, oblique shadow that stretched out of the ground.

"Hmm. Next Sunday, I'll be at a piano recital, can you ..... Come and see?"

"This—That's it....."

Xia You felt a burst of ear heat.

I can't help but feel extremely ashamed of what I did just now.

Therefore, boys who have no experience in love at all will always understand the kindness of girls as confessions.

It's a good thing he didn't say anything, otherwise it would be a bit embarrassing.

"No, no?"

There was a sad look in Nishikino Maki's purple eyes, which were eager to be answered.

Maybe it's because I saw that he didn't respond hesitantly, and I thought he didn't want to go to the concert.

Xia You hurriedly shook his head.

"No, no, I'll go see it!"

"Really?"

Maki Nishikino had a look of overjoy.

It's really easy to see the mood of the girl. With such a thought in mind, Xia You smiled and nodded.

"Really. It's next Sunday, right? I'll be sure to see it on time. Where and when will the concert be held?"

"Ahh.......h The venue is the Shinki venue, and the time is 9 a.m. on Sunday. ”

"yes, I see. ”

Xia You smiled and nodded, "I will definitely be there on time." ”

As if remembering something, he took out his phone and looked at Mahime Nishikino.

"Just in case, why don't you exchange your phone number?"

"Huh, is that okay?"

Maki Nishikino's eyes widened, and her tone was pleasantly surprised.

Xia You nodded, "Well, of course you can." ”

"That ....."

Pursing his mouth and trying to hold back the joy that was about to jump out of his chest, Maki Nishikino nodded vigorously.

Immediately, the two exchanged mobile phone numbers.

Looking at the new number recorded on her phone, Maki Nishikino felt like she couldn't help but laugh, and the world seemed to be colorful.

"Nishikino-san, what do you want to tell me...... Is this it?" Xia You asked slightly.

"Hmm. Nishikino Mahime nodded.

After a little hesitation, Xia You still asked, "But ...... Have you met before?"

"Sure enough......."

Nishikino Mahime turned her face slightly, making it difficult to see her expression clearly, and her voice revealed a wry smile.

"You've forgotten me. ”

She paused, "No, I should say, from the beginning, you didn't think to remember me, did you?"

"Uh......"

Listening to these slightly bitter words, Xia You's face was slightly embarrassed, and he said in his heart, could it be that he had seen Nishikino Mahime before?

But Xia You rummaged through her memories, but she really didn't remember where she had met her.

"Actually, it's okay if you don't remember. ”

Maki Nishikino got up from her seat, her hands behind her back, facing the sun.

At this time, her voice actually seemed a little relaxed.

His gaze slanted slightly, and there was a very strong emotion in his light purple eyes.

"What I really want to say to you, I'll tell you on the piano at that recital. ”

After thinking about it these days, Maki Nishikino finally chose this method.

No one said that she must use verbal language to tell Xia You what she has been dreaming about for many years.

It's the same with the piano.

No, it should be said that it is better to use a piano. She liked the piano because of this guy, because this guy studied piano seriously.

There is no more appropriate way to illustrate her feelings over the years than with a piano.

“...... Really?" Xia You nodded slightly.

Although he still couldn't recall when he had seen Nishikino Mahime in the past, he could clearly feel from her words that the girl's determination was coming at him like a bullet piercing the center of his eyebrows, accompanied by a flashbang-like dazzle.

How many thoughts are contained in this short sentence, Xia You is not clear.

But I guess when I hear her piano, I think I'll be able to understand it somewhat.

"I'm leaving. ”

As if she had taken off her burden, Maki Nishikino smiled at ease for the first time in a long time.

"Ahh Stay safe on the way back. Xia You said habitually.

Then he added.

"I'll be there next Sunday's concert. ”

"Hmm. ”

Nodding, Maki Nishikino politely said goodbye and left.

watched her leave, until her back disappeared from view, Xia You slowly withdrew her gaze.

"Is Xia You familiar with this kid?"

“..... She didn't know each other, at least as far as I can remember, I hadn't spoken to her a few times. ”

"Really? It doesn't look like it. ”

"Well, I don't quite understand it - ah no, when did you come here?!"

Xia You found out that Megumi Kato was standing next to him at some point, and he couldn't help but be startled.

"Just now. ”

"Didn't notice at all!"

"That's because classmate Xia You has patronized the child. ”

Under Eina Kato's indifferent gaze, Xia You touched his nose and looked away rather embarrassedly.

"Uh..... What a thing. ”

Coughing lightly, Xia You instinctively didn't want to continue the topic, so he changed his words:

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting, Kato. ”

"Well, it's nothing. ”

Megumi Kato's tone was flat, "Xia You-san is, and the kid just now-I remember that his surname is Nishikino, right?

Xia You shrugged his shoulders, "Well, sort of." But I didn't say anything. ”

"Really? That's good. ”

"Ah, thank you so much for that afternoon, Kato. ”

Xia You scratched his hair and said, "If it weren't for you to help me speak, I guess it would be very troublesome." ”

At that time, Xia You's anger value was about to reach a critical point, but fortunately, Kato Megumi opened his mouth first, otherwise it would be difficult to end when he got angry and started quarrelling.

Megumi Kato shook her head, "You're welcome, what President Ayase said at the time was indeed a bit excessive. ”

After a pause, her tone was slightly emotional.

"But those girls are very good, not only are they beautiful, but they can sing and dance, and like me, they can't do anything. ”

"Really?"

I feel that you who can easily settle them are the most powerful.......

"However, the matter with Kirino-chan must be handled clearly, so as not to be discovered by Ayase when you get it, but it will be difficult to end. Megumi Kato brought the topic back again.

"Ahh.....h I know. ”

After nodding, Xia You reacted-

Kato's tone, could it be that he already knew that Kirino was an otaku?

Kato..... How much do you know?"

"Well, just a little bit. ”

Tilting his head slightly, as if switching modes, Megumi Kato's face returned to its usual small transparent appearance.

"Anyway, let's go back first, it's not too early. ”

"Ah, too. Looking at the slightly yellowed sky, Xia You nodded.

Then he proposed to Kato, "It's almost time for dinner, do you want to go to dinner together?"

Megumi Kato waved her hand, "No, I told my mother that I would go back for dinner in the evening." ”

"Well, forget it. ”

Xia You didn't keep much.

Immediately, the two went out of Otokinozaka Academy together.

After walking for a while, they broke up, Kato went home, and Natsuyu found a restaurant to have dinner alone, and was ready to go to work at the café after eating.

While waiting for the meal to arrive, he made a phone call to Kirino Takasaka and told her a little about what had just happened, and asked her to settle the events of Saturday by herself, so that Ayase would not find out about it from Minami Kotori afterwards.

In that case, it is difficult to explain.

And Takasaka Kirino also readily agreed, saying that she would solve the matter.

After all, this matter is related to her secret, if Ayase is confused and asked, Xia Yuke can't explain the matter of going to Kirino's room on Saturday.

After getting Kirino Takasaka's response, Xia You hung up the phone with a sigh of relief.
