"Shi Geng, I'm very sorry for the trouble caused by pointing you the wrong way today."

Isseki Ning said seriously, and bowed down. Masato was taken aback, and he was a little nervous as well.

"No, it's not ...... Things are in the past. It's okay. ”

Masato tried to show his generosity, and then he just stood there waiting for the following. Waiting for the students next to me at the school gate, won't it be just to apologize?

- It's really just an apology. Masato couldn't laugh or cry a little after he reacted. This person is inevitably a little too serious...... As he was thinking this, he suddenly heard the voice of another person speaking.

"Yo. Righteous people, yes? My stupid daughter is in trouble for you. Sorry, sorry. ”

Masato turned his head and saw a man in a casual shirt. He was about to be polite, but the girl standing next to the man shouted in a suppressed voice.

"Who's your daughter! Stupid dude! ”

"Uh, ahem...... Anyway, that's ......."

The man smiled awkwardly at Masato.

After that, for some reason, the rest of the journey became a three-person walk.

"My name is Youning. Well, that's right, it's Ning You's name written upside down......"

As she spoke, Youning touched Ning You's head affectionately with one hand. Ning You puffed out his cheeks and slapped You Ning's hand down.

…… Obviously he had already unconsciously held Youning's arm. In this way, not only is it cute, but it is simply tempting. Youning's bright smile that seemed to melt away and Ning You's attachment were not fakes, and the righteous people could feel that they were indeed connected by blood.

However, looking at that intimate appearance, it is neither like a father and daughter nor a brother and sister.

"How old are you?"

"Guess what!"

Youning laughed. Masato scratched his head. Looking at Youning's appearance, he is only twenty or thirty years old. Ning You confirmed the age of the high school students, but he still couldn't understand what their relationship was, so there was no way to guess. Youning spoke in a natural elder manner, but the way he spoke was no different from his. It's like ......

"By the way, Mr. Youning, do you know Jiukong Xun and Jianya?"

"Huh? They? Of course I did! ”

"—I can't tell how old they are. I can only vaguely feel that Mr. Kenya seems to be a little older......"

"Haha. Look, Jian Zai, his surname is Bayi! Of course, it's a little bit older than Jiukong Smoke. One is nine empty and one is eight, and my surname is one color, how old do you say I am? ”

Youning burst out laughing. Nine, eight, one. Do you force yourself to take advantage of it? Masato didn't think it was a joke, but he couldn't help but laugh after Yuin.

"A man is a boy until he dies!" At the fork in the road, Youning said the famous words of jump and patted Masato on the shoulder.

"By the way, I run a bookstore now. If you have time, you can check it out. Magazines and school supplies are available. ”

"Ah, okay, okay."

Masato watched the two of them walk away inseparably and felt that Youning was a very enthusiastic person. is different from the obvious acquaintance of Jiukong Xun and Jianya, but there is a feeling of being very close to and loving life between words. Speaking of which, Youning and Ningyou are both very masculine and feminine respectively, and they are quite flavorful names. It's really interesting.

Then, Masato remembered something very important.

- Wait! Wasn't he talking to the cute Ning Yu-chan at the beginning! Then it was interrupted by Youning!

It can't be like this! It's obviously her first! She came first!

————————————==————————————

Masato comforted himself with the excuse that "it's also important to have a good relationship with the beautiful girl's brother" along the way, but he hurried back to the rented apartment without a single step. Although the apartment is still the same cramped, it feels really nice to have someone, especially a cute girl, waiting for you.

"Oto-"

"Righteous people! Tired? Want to let off steam? Please use Otoki! ”

…… No, the preface retracts, it doesn't feel good at all.

"It's time for lunch."

Masato sighed and walked into the bedroom with the lunch he had purchased at the convenience store. Sure enough, the miniature Flying Cup God was holding his body, laboriously dragging it across the floor. Although Lori, who is working hard seriously, is a little contrasting and cute.,It's all ...... It looks like a god there.

"It's your lunch...... Don't take that thing at me! Don't look expectant! I feel a little bit ashamed! ”

Masato took out his cheap bento from the bag and threw it on the bed, then picked up Otoki with one hand and put it on the bedside table, and carefully took out a hardcover strawberry cake with the other.

"Hemorrhage! That's my day's worth of food! Give me a grateful meal! ”

Masato puts the cake in front of Otoki. The strawberry and cream are both very attractive, and when you open the box, you can smell a sweet smell. However, Otoki did not move. She just sat on her own body, quietly looking at Masato, her eyes were gloomy, like a little girl sitting alone on a swing in the park in a daze.

"What's wrong, Oki? Would you like to try my inferior bento? ”

"Otoki can't eat these things...... Otoki Oki is the god of the flying cup, if it is not used all the time...... B, B is not B. It is...... Die. ”

When Oki said this, his tone was extremely low. Masato was taken aback. He didn't know much about legends like gods and ghosts, but he probably understood what Otoki meant. The gods are supernatural beings who are believed in by humans, and as such their roots are also human beings themselves. In other words, human behavior can affect the gods. Although I don't know what kind of belief Oki has embraced and become the god of the flying cup - that must be all kinds of dirt - but the current situation is that the righteous people are responsible for Oki.

Now it's in trouble. It's not that the righteous man is a pedantic defender, but ......

Target? Target? True? I can't do it!

It's a dog. Indignantly, a swear word came to his heart, and Masato scratched his head......

Wait a minute!

This wonderful inspiration is!

Masato put his hand down from his face, looked at Oki seriously, and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go to the pet market and grab a teddy and come back." ”

“…… Teddy? ”

"That's right. Legend has it that every day, every day, every day, every day, ......every day, Hey, don't cry! ”

Masato suddenly became in a hurry.

"Oki, I'm not crying."

"Huh? Isn't this a tearful ......? ”

Masato carefully discerned the unknown fluid on Otoki's face. Then he remembered something, and turned his gaze slightly to look at the cake.

- Visible bite marks.

"Smack!"

"Stunned!"

"Lie to me!"

"Oki Oki only wants to ...... with Masato"

"Smack!"

"Stunned!"

"Eat!"

After the punishment of the brain melon collapse, Masato confirmed that he was a false alarm, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

I still care about Oki...... Of course.

Of course I do, don't I.

In the current situation of living alone, Oki is his only family...... Right?

Even if this Lori is full of H, disobedient, and has brought Masato to the brink of neurasthenia several times, but, it is with her, and it will always be with you, right?

How could it not be cared for.

Masato was sincerely happy as he watched Otoki nibbling on a cake that was much bigger than her like a hamster, and looked at the expression of enjoyment on her little face that she occasionally raised.

"Otoki."

"Uh......h Righteous people? ”

"How did you get born? Do you know? ”

— or rather, why me?

"Uh-huh......" Otoki stopped eating, thinking as he reached out the tip of his tongue and licked off the jam around his lips.

"Righteous people, there are special potentials."

"...... potential?"

"For example, when you wake up one day, maybe there's another god in the room? So, that's why Oki wants to seize Masato first......"

What does that mean? Masato thought for a second-

"Rub"

Masato jumped to his feet, turned his head and ran out the door.

"Masato?"

Masato turned around and smiled brightly at Otoki, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"I suddenly remembered a stray cat I saw on the road, that one with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes......"
