"Yukino, how do you feel about breakfast today?"

On the first day after the end of Golden Week, that is, on the morning of Shota's birthday, looking at Yukino, who had already eaten his share, Shota asked cautiously.

"It's okay."

"That's good, if you like it."

After getting Yukino's affirmation, Shota laughed heartily. Xue Nai is a person who doesn't praise others easily, and it's already a pretty high evaluation for her.

"Why do you want to make it so exquisite? Aren't you usually as simple as you come? ”

Although, Yukino also has to admit that although Shota is simple, the taste is definitely not bad.

"Because I want to make amends for you, and I'm worried about you."

"What are you kidding, it's not me who is worried, it's the others."

"Yes, yes."

Looking at Yukino who touched his earlobe, Shota laughed heartily again, this kind of action, Shota has seen Yukino do it many times.

"Are you really going to separate schools today?"

"That's right, the discussion about the relationship between me and you is getting more and more heated in the class, and my sister has agreed, do you have any objections?"

"No, not at all, it's just a little unaccustomed."

After all, the two have been going to school together for a month since the beginning of school, and they suddenly want to go separately, and Shota is really a little unaccustomed to it.

"It's an exam today, right? You ready? ”

"For me, there will be no results other than first place."

"Well, it's not modest at all."

Someone, who was in second place, touched his nose a little embarrassedly, lowered his head and continued to eat breakfast.

"Well, I'll go first."

After putting his dishes in the sink, Yukino casually said to Shota and walked out of the room. Because of Yukino's personal request, she didn't ask the driver to take her to school, and Shota, who didn't have this habit in the first place, naturally chose to take the train to school like Yukino.

In the morning, the air was fresh, the soft breeze and the warm sunshine were walking, and as she walked down the street where there were no pedestrians, Yukino gently combed her hair that had been blown by the breeze, and two strands of hair tied with a red rope tied in the shape of a bow hung down on her chest.

Touching the red rope on her chest, the corners of Yukino's mouth hooked up a smile that was not easily noticeable, but her good mood disappeared completely in the next moment.

It's a white, plush Samoyed that makes people want to touch it well, although it is a large dog with a strong physique, but because of its cute and beautiful appearance, simple and docile personality, and a cute face that seems to be smiling all the time, few people hate it with the title of 'smiling angel'.

However, for some reason, the always docile Samoyed suddenly barked with excitement when he saw Yukino, and even if its owner kept reassuring him, it didn't help.

Holding the strap of the shoulder bag tightly, Yukino stared at Samoyed intently, and with a poker face without any expression, he turned and walked away quickly. Although, the direction of the station is in the direction of Samoyed.

Although he has always been regarded by many as strong and all-powerful, he can also be scared under the snow.

After finally coming to school, ignoring all kinds of confession letters in the shoe closet, ignoring the chatter around her because she came to school alone, Yukino walked straight to the classroom and returned to her seat.

I didn't greet anyone, and even if there was someone in front of me, the other party would just bow their heads and pretend they didn't see it, and walked to the side. Although he has a lot of fame in the school, he doesn't have a good reputation in the class, as if he is like an island in the sea.

"Long time no see~ Where did you go to play during the holidays?"

"Uh-huh! I went on a trip abroad with my family! Now, this is the souvenir I bought for you, do you like it? ”

"Oh~!! I love it! I like you the most, Runhee-chan! ”

The girl at the next table took out a small gift from her bag and handed it to the student in front of Xue Nai, who just quietly took out the book and began to do the final revision before the exam, not affected by the two at all.

But because he never sees these people as people on the same level as himself, he doesn't feel sad at all under the snow.

……

……

As Yukino said, exams weren't a problem for her at all. Although there are a lot of questions, the difficulty is not easy, and there is still a lot of knowledge that has not yet been learned, Yukino is still able to answer all the questions easily.

Even the teachers agreed that she would be able to be like her sister and Shiyu Kasumigaoka in the third grade, and she would not give up the first place in the grade from the time she entered the school, and even if Shota in second place followed her closely, it did not shake the teachers' confidence in Yukino in the slightest.

After all, Shota's chemistry is really a bit of a drag.

In addition to exams, the last class in the afternoon was physical education, and Yukino chose basketball, which was the same as Shota, but the boys and girls had separate physical education classes.

In the gymnasium, after taking the girls who had chosen basketball to finish the warm-up exercises, the female physical education teacher clapped her hands at everyone and said, "So, now let's do stretching exercises in groups of two." ”

"Yes~"

After a lively response, the girls found their friends, put their hands on each other's shoulders, and began to practice softness, leaving only Yukino with long black hair standing quietly in place.

"Ah, ah, I forgot that the number of people is actually singular. Under the snow, you can also do your own stretching today, no problem. ”

"Yes."

Looking at the apologetic smile of the physical education teacher, Yukino didn't have any expression on her face and responded without hesitation.

"Shota-kun, what are you looking at?"

On the basketball court on the other side of the gymnasium, Shota's 'male friend' in the class, Rokuka of Phoenix Temple, carefully patted Shota's shoulder, waiting to do a 'warm-up exercise' with Shota.

Although Liuhua's figure is completely unsuitable for basketball, because Shota reported basketball, Liuhua followed closely behind Shota without hesitation and filled in his name under the basketball column.

Of course, Liuhua's move made the basketball class seats suddenly become sought-after, and some people even sold their seats at a high price.

"It's nothing, let's do a warm-up......" After retracting his gaze, the person in front of him made Shota swallow a mouthful of saliva. If you have to talk about it, but from the outside, Liuhua is still not as cute as Xuenai, but Liuhua has a plus point in gender and personality.

Under the blazing gaze of the other boys in the basketball class, carrying the envy, jealousy and hatred of almost all the boys, Shota put his hands on Rokuka's soft and thin shoulders.

"Oh oh oh oh !!"

"Why not me, why not me!"

"I'm so envious!! My Rokuka!! ”

Under the howl of wolves, Liuhua's cheeks turned red.

"That, Shota-kun, can you bend down......"

"Ah, oh, oh, okay."

Shota, who reacted, bent down a little embarrassed, but even so, Rokuka still had to stand on tiptoe to put her hand on Shota's shoulder less uncomfortably.

"Xiang, Xiangtai-kun."

"What, what?"

"Shall we get started?"

"Ah, yes, okay."

However, because of Rokuka's cute little short hands, the heads of the two had to be side by side, face to face in order to press their waists at a ninety-degree angle, and both Rokka and Shota had a rather suspicious flush on their faces.

After the two pressed each other a few times, Liuhua suddenly gasped for breath several times.

"Xiang, Xiangtai-kun......"

"Uh, what's wrong? Did it hurt you? ”

"Hmm~hmm." Rokka shook his head, his waist was definitely much softer than Shota's, "It's just...... Just ......"

"Huh?"

“su…… su……”

“su……？”

Shota was a little confused.

"Suki (like) ......"

"Huh?"

Shota couldn't hear the other party's voice at all, so he moved his head closer to Rokuka's mouth, but this action made Rokuka's blood almost evaporate due to shyness.

"Suddenly I really want to eat sukiyaki, let's go eat together after school!"

"Huh? Good...... I'm sorry, but I have something to do after school. ”

Using all his self-control, Shota finally refused Rokuka's invitation. However, what Shota, who tilted his head to the side, didn't notice was that Rokka not only didn't show a sad expression when Shota rejected him again, but was relieved.

What am I thinking, I'm here, Shota-kun obviously has a girlfriend, and he's such a beautiful and noble classmate under the snow, what am I thinking......

However, Rokka seems to be thinking in a slightly crooked direction?
