After entrusting Ruby to Yuki, he completely forgot about her existence. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The sight peeking through the hallway.

In her eyes, the posture of me and Zhu Rena probably couldn't be mixed up no matter what she said.

But it's impossible to talk about your relationship with underage children in a big way.

In response to Yuki's increasingly dazzling gaze, I had to try my best to say in the calmest voice possible:

"No、It's not Yuki. Somehow, this child suddenly said that if I want to hold her, I will hold her helplessly, and I am really helpless.

『… Big sister. We're in a relationship.'"

"How...、、! (… Slow, slow ——!!!!)'

It's rare for me to explain so calmly,

Zhu Lina said the most unspeakable sentence.

And then he said, "Please don't shoot at Reina-chan," and hugged me from behind, who couldn't move because of the impact just now.

Yuki loosened his wide-open eyes and mouth at this.

"I know that Reina has a lover."

『?! Yuki... Did you know...?'

"It's always such an easy excuse to see through, how many years have you been our friend?"

『… Woo'

"But it's a bit of a surprise to be so young."

Yuki seems to be ready to go home,

Standing in the doorway with a coat and bag in hand.

It's like "I'm going to get my eye-catching light bulb off quickly."

Zhu Rina was also surprised at how crisp she was, and relaxed her hands around me.

"Big sister...、Then you are... Won't you shoot at Reina-chan?'

"Huh? What should I do~ If it's more interesting, maybe I'll make a move?"

"Uh?!! No, no!! It's definitely not going to be fun!!"

"Hey, hey, joking—joking—"

Those sparkling eyes don't look like a joke at all,

Zhu Rina, who had just let go, hugged me tightly again.

Dropping Yuki off at the station, Rina and I went home.

It was already twelve o'clock, and Zhu Rena was not serious enough to start studying at this time.

"Na, Reina-chan"

"What?"

"Kashiwagi-san is really a weirdo."

"Ahh That's right...'

Slowly sipping the brewed coffee, Zhu Rina muttered.

The story from the beginning of meeting Yuki is too long, so let's talk about it next time.

"But it's great. Reina-chan wasn't fooled.'"

"What is the confusion... I don't think Yuki had that intention in the first place."

"It's so slow—"

Zhu Lina's puffed up cheeks and occupied my lap.

Although she usually says it's hot and drives her away, let her be coquettish today.

"But starting tomorrow... I won't give you such a coquette."

『… Call... Whew'

『… It's really...、I always choose this time to fall asleep."

At this wonderful moment, I heard the sound of snoring soundly asleep.

I want to sleep if I can,

But they had to face a report that made almost no progress.

If this hadn't happened, the report would have been made a long time ago.

When did this child's existence become so big that it could change my pace?

I hold the pencil in one hand,

Then he gently combed her hair with his other hand and smiled bitterly.

"Good night" "If you accidentally do too much, let's give it to the neighbor next door"

Because of what my mother said,

I'm going to stand in front of the house next door.

The guy who lives next door is a college student.

When I moved here, I seemed to have come to say hello,

But I didn't notice it because I was reviewing in the room.

Since then, although occasionally we will meet when throwing garbage or in the elevator lobby,

But he didn't look at the other person's face carefully, and of course he didn't talk.

『… Why should it be given to that man?"

Even if I don't give it to that person, I can eat it all...

But I'm sorry for my mother when I take it home like this.

And more importantly, the north wind is so cold, I just want to get home quickly.

The mind has been decided,

I was careful not to let the pot of pasta with meat sauce fall to the floor.

While carefully pressing the doorbell next to it that reads "707: Matsui".

However, there was no response.

So I pressed it again, and this time I pressed it twice in a row.

…… Sure enough, there was still no response.

"Aren't you home?"

Through the heavy gate, only the sound of dogs barking can be heard, and no one can feel at home.

Although I disappointed my mother's kindness...

But I really don't know what to say to the other person, and it turns out that it's not bad.

If you press it again and it doesn't respond, go home.

That's what I thought.

The dog behind the door went from barking vigilantly to coquettishly with its owner.

Feeling the aura of someone else approaching the door in front of me, I somehow suddenly became nervous.

"That...、、I'm Matsui next door..."

When I came to report my name, I heard the sound of the door lock being opened.

Then the door slowly opened.

The one who came to me was, of course, the college student who lived next door.

Of course I know that, but I do...

"Ahh Hello... Uh..."

『……』

Wrong...

Why does she look like she's angry...?

The so-called "straight face",

My neighbor stood in front of me as if he were the confirmation of the word.

Usually, when a guest comes, even if it's pretending, you have to put a smile on your face...?

Even if you really can't laugh, you don't need to put on such a face...?

I've been kind enough to try to find a topic,

She didn't say coldly, she didn't even answer me a word.

The half-open and closed eyes behind the black-rimmed glasses,

It's like "I'm sleeping, please don't wake me up."

…… I was going to give spaghetti with meat sauce to such a person, and I suddenly became angry.

"What's the matter?"

『… Huh?'

"What are you looking for me?"

"Ahh This one... It was my mom who said... I'm going to give it to you—'

『…』

Because I was too nervous, I couldn't speak a little inarticulate, and I couldn't complete the sentences.

Obviously, I was rated as social by the teachers at school, and I will probably be very suitable for overseas careers in the future.

Why is there such a trembling in front of this person with a straight face?

… However, here's a word of "I'm so nervous~!aha!" Maybe you can lighten up the current atmosphere.

Just when I raised my head with this thought,

"No need"

『… Huh?' After alternately glancing at me and the pot in my hand, she said this and lowered her eyes.

The feeling that came out was, 'Okay, that's the end of the matter, goodbye.'"

It seems that I am still troubled, and I am really angry.

What is this, but it is just a little better-looking.

It's the first time I've encountered someone with such a bad personality.

It's cute when you close your mouth and smile, so why do you want to put on a look like you're bored from the bottom of your heart?

Her college friends must have been accommodating to her, and she didn't notice it at all.

…… When I think about it, I'm really angry.

Mom's rare kindness, you just look like it's none of your business and say, 'No'?

Why can't you say a word or two like an adult when you're an adult?

"It's a pity that I've just eaten enough, and your kindness is appreciated."

"Thank you for your kindness, but I can't eat the meat sauce" What kind of social phrase to refuse politely?!
