"Ruijun."

Chiwa frowned and pointed to the sizzling pork chops in the frying pan.

"I've been frying one side since I started."

Chihuahua-chan's cooking skills are difficult to come up with even if they are euphemistically evaluated.,It's always a weird product that I'm ashamed to make in the housekeeping class.,But since just now.,Ruita in cooking has been absent-minded.,This makes Chiwa who is waiting to be fed feel very dissatisfied.。

Because although Qianhe doesn't know how to cook, she knows her childhood sweetheart very well.

"Huh? I'm sorry. ”

Rui Tai responded casually, waved the spatula in his hand, and made the pork chops gorgeously make a 360-degree Marseille rotation, and the last side was still ripe and pasted on the oil pan.

“……”

After a while, Rui Tai, who was outside the fugue, put another side of half-cooked pork chops on his rice bowl, because it was overfried, and the burnt side was already slightly blackened.

"Ruijun, do you have something on your mind?"

After clasping his hands together and saying "I'm moving", Chiwa picked up the chopsticks and poked Ruita's pork chops, judging from the touch, it should be fine.

"Well, I can't say no."

Rui Tai sighed a little nerve-wracked.

After hearing the news from Hoshina that Ryo was actually running away from home, Ruita fell into a little confusion.

No matter what that guy really cools do, even if he wants to rob the bank on a whim, Rui Tai won't feel too strange, so the surprise that his girlfriend is actually a girl from a stilt family is secondary, and in this way, it can also explain the irrational parts of Zhenliang's daily actions.

What really bothered Ruita was the information that Hoshina told him.

It is said that Ryo Shina's father has contacted Xingna's father, that is, the chairman of the Santa Crone Academy-Kashiwazaki Tenma, to ask about Ryo Shinri, and after Shinena accidentally overheard the phone call between the two, he wanted to inform Ryo Maha, but he never had a chance - because Ryo didn't even tell her about entering the Saint Crone Academy.

That's why at the time when Zhen Liang and Rui confessed, Xingnai's performance was so strange.

"I've heard some news that I don't know if it's good or bad."

Ryo and himself are actually pretending to be boyfriend and girlfriend - this matter Xingna doesn't know, so the girl will trust Ruita unconditionally, and tell him that Zhenliang is in a bad situation now, if what Xingna said is true, then Zhenliang and Ruitai, who is [boyfriend], will have the possibility of disaster at any time.

“…… It's because Natsukawa is really cool, right? ”

"How do you know the way?"

"Of course, because I'm Ruitai's childhood sweetheart!"

Looking at Ruita's surprised expression, Chiwa shook her chopsticks proudly.

"So that woman and Ruijun are not suitable at all!"

Although Chihuahua-chan was really disappointed for a while after learning that Ruita and Ryo had started dating, she has recently started to be scrappy again.

[No matter how many points you lose, as long as you don't lose until the game is over!] 】

- said the head of the kendo club.

"It's not about Ryo himself."

Rui Tai smiled and shook her head.

The thoughtfulness of his childhood friend makes him feel warm, but Ruita doesn't plan to involve Chiwa as well.

"It has nothing to do with Ryo himself......"

Chiwa, who is not good at chewing words, repeats Ruita's words in confusion.

"Hmm...... Actually, it's my own business. ”

Ruita was angry.

Ever since I heard about Ryo running away from home from Hoshina, it was as if something had been pressed on my chest, and the black emotions that made the boy sullen, now Ruita finally understood what it was.

That's anger.

For the anger of the really cool father depicted in the words.

Judging from Xingna's words is biased, which Ruita himself understands.

The act of running away from home can be said to be a childish evasion of Zhenliang, an irrational action, and the fault is not necessarily all on the adult's side - but judging from the other party's reaction after Zhenliang ran away, a lot can be read.

Take a resigned attitude.,And then contact Xingna's father - according to Xingnai,Zhenliang's father didn't even ask about her living situation.,Just casually confirmed the girl's location and said:If Zhenliang doesn't plan to come back.,I'll take Zhenliang away in the near future.,By the way, I also discussed the recent cooperation projects between the two companies.。

It's even far less time to talk about how cool it is than a business plan, as if your daughter is just a topic to talk about.

What did he do with Zhen Liang?

In Ruitai's opinion, Zhenliang's father doesn't plan to take care of Zhenliang's mood, and he doesn't even have a plan to talk about it, after his daughter runs away, the only thing this father does is to tell his daughter the bottom line of his tolerance - this is not giving away freedom, but showing his authority, making Zhenliang realize how ridiculous his futile resistance is.

Xingna doesn't understand this kind of psychological deterrence, for a girl who was born well-off and is pampered by her family, Zhenliang's behavior of running away from home is incomprehensible, and Zhenliang's father's "grace" is more like understanding Zhenliang's feelings in Xingnai's eyes.

But Ruitai is different.

is also a [love opposition], Rui Tai seems to be able to understand Zhen Liang's thoughts a little.

- What I need is an accomplice who can deceive everyone with me.

“…… Chiwa. ”

"Huh?"

“…… Am I useless? ”

The anger in Ruita's heart swelled even more because of the feeling of powerlessness.

"Why would Ruijun say that."

"Whatever I tried to do, I failed."

Chiwa stopped the action of chopping pork chop rice into his mouth, raised his head and stared at Rui Tai quietly, but the dazed boy didn't notice the serious eyes of his childhood friend, and raised his voice like a vent.

"Mom and Dad had a big fight and then disappeared! I can't do anything when Chiwa is injured by you! And this time it's ...... too! ”

Rui, who almost said that he was slipping his mouth, stopped the conversation stiffly.

Bang!

The wooden chopsticks slammed Ruita's forehead.

"It hurts!"

"Ruijun is a big fool!"

Chiwa's eyes filled with tears.

"Why do you have to say that! It's obviously not Ruijun's fault! ”

The childhood friend loudly refuted Ruitai's unproductive words, and under Qianhe's tearful eyes, the evil fire surging in Ruitai's chest disappeared, and he looked away a little at a loss.

"When I was injured, it was because Ruijun was with me that I was able to cheer up."

"But I ......"

"I thought in my heart that I must not let Ruijun worry, so I can cheer up, because I am Ruijun's sister!"

Chiwa's voice, which was speaking witticisms, came back to life.

"After that, Ruijun must have been accompanying me to do rehabilitation exercises that I couldn't stick to, so a miracle happened!"

- Full recovery.

It's as if you've never been hurt, and it can only be described as a miracle.

"Therefore, Ruijun is not allowed to say that he is useless!"

“…… I understand. ”

Under the threat of Chiwa's deliberate glare, Ruita lowered her head.

Indeed, I have always known the Tao. 】

In fact, Qianhe is not as strong as she imagined.

Myself too.

For Ruitai, if Qianhe had not been by his side, the days after his parents left would have been dark.

So, in the same way, what about Xia Chuan's true coolness?

The speed of Ruita's attitude change seems to have startled Chiwa also, and Chihuahua-chan is sending out [Anyway! Ruijun can't do without me! Sure enough, he couldn't hand it over to Natsukawa Zhenliang] and went home, while Ruita took out his mobile phone after a few thoughts.

"Let's start with the basics......

————

Early in the morning of the weekend, Ruita, who was preparing to go out, had neither clothes for jogging nor battery replacement for her English Walkman while jogging.

Last night, after careful consideration, Rui Tai made a few phone calls.

The objects are Ryo Ma, Hoshina, and Kitty.

The purpose is, of course, to try to cushion the stalemate Ryo and Hoshina, and to inform Kitty is to avoid embarrassment to himself.

The cell phone that had been left on the bed rang suddenly.

The ringtone, which is like the sound of a curse, was specially prepared by Ruitai for Zhenliang.

"What's going on at this time?"

Ruita, who was holding a toothbrush, picked up her phone while grumbling, and originally planned to read the email after brushing her teeth, but because the ringtone sounded really uncomfortable, Ruita ran out of the bathroom halfway through the brush.

After reading the message on his phone, the toothbrush in Ruitai's mouth fell to the ground.
