The distance between people is not always set in stone.

In fact, on the contrary, interpersonal relationships will continue to change with the passage of time, childhood playmates will slowly drift apart, childhood memories will gradually fade away, and they will be swallowed up by the wider world as they grow up - and then one day in the future, inadvertently remembering the past, chewing on those bitter and sweet, and a little regretful memories - it may sound a little sad, but it is precisely because of understanding and accepting this that people can grow.

So, there's nothing wrong with that.

Human beings are social creatures, and in the process of growing up, they always repeat the cycle of encounters and partings.

But not everyone understands this inevitable consequence.

Childish people always believe that having something can last forever and never change, and I don't deny or hate this naïve idea.

I just can't believe it.

In the club classroom of the neighborhood department, I was being interrogated by Chiwa.

"Ruijun...... Where was yesterday. Qianhe narrowed his eyes and deliberately lowered his tone: "I didn't come back at night." ”

No, it's actually back, it's just that you don't know what to do.

And before dinner last night, you came home from the kendo club with enthusiasm and sweat, and you took my hand and invited me to take a bath with you.

- Although I would love to say this to Chiwa, for the sake of life safety and personal shame, it is better to keep this secret for the rest of my life.

"Since it's Kitaro, what library did Bacheng go to to spend time?" The night sky on the side interjected lazily, probably because the weather was too hot, the night sky loosened the bow tie slightly, like a cat basking in the sun, the whole person was lying on the table, his cheek against the table, and there was a lazy atmosphere floating around.

“…… It's not to kill time. ”

It seems that she is not going to correct that name.

As far as the night sky is concerned, I took the opportunity to look away from Qianhe's eyes, although it was a last resort, but it still made me feel a little guilty to deceive my childhood friend who trusted me.

"Final exams are coming up, is that really okay?"

"That kind of thing, it doesn't matter at all." The night sky said nonchalantly; "As long as you listen to what you usually do in class, the score won't be too ugly."

“……”

I'm speechless.

Indeed, although the members of the community gathered here have more or less problems, there is no doubt about academic ability—or perhaps because they have no friends, there is not even much to do except study.

In addition to me, led by Hoshina, who is the second in the class, Ryo is very good at studying, and the scores of Night Sky and Kitty are also quite beautiful, and Maria is a genius child who has passed higher education, except for the supernumerary member Chiwa who passed Banzai, everyone's deviation value is quite considerable.

But......

The night sky's easy-to-use attitude makes me feel quite aggrieved, Kitty occasionally studies properly, and I never see the night sky studying, and Hoshina is fully engaged in the world of the game - but whenever I encounter a problem, I can always come up with a breakthrough to solve the problem.

The night sky is probably the same type as the real cool - they both understand the knowledge taught just by listening carefully in class, so there is no need for additional tuition.

I felt the gap in IQ very deeply.

I've been working hard to become the number one in the class with the idea of hard work to make up for my mistakes, and even though Chiwa's injury has been healed by the Absolute, I still plan to continue to carry it out - because if I don't, it's like losing to the Absolute, and this feeling makes me very unhappy.

But now, a new problem has come to me.

- The time spent studying is plummeting.

Whether it was the disruption of my daily study time with books in my hands due to a series of options and the Shura Field accident, or the time to go home after school to strengthen my knowledge was greatly reduced due to the club activities of the neighborhood department, all in all, my original study plan has changed beyond recognition.

It's absolutely impossible to go on like this!

It's war! It is a war that will be swallowed up by the tide as soon as it cannot move forward!

For me, who was recommended by the Medical University, there was no other choice than to win the first place in the class.

"So, I'll be here first today."

"Huh?"

Chiwa, who was still full of expressions of unrelieved expression, made an unknown voice, and it seems that today's kendo club has suspended its activities for a day because of the instructor, and Chiwa rushed to the neighbor's department after class to ask me about my whereabouts yesterday - fortunately, the real cool demon who likes to steer things in a bad direction has not yet appeared.

"Hey~ If Xia Chuan is not here, there is nothing to do?"

The crooked night sky squinted his eyes contemptuously in this direction, his tone full of unwelcome resentment.

"How could that happen! It's better to say that the guy is not there, but it is more relaxed. ”

"Is that so?"

The crisp sound trembled lovingly like dewdrops shattering under the mist.

Although the weather was hot and humid, I shivered as if I had fallen into an ice cave, and the sweat could not stop dripping.

"I can't satisfy Ruitai, I'm tired of it?"

Goosebumps appeared on my skin, not because of the sad words of the owner of the voice, who wept and sighed, but because of the acting skills that I knew by heart.

"How so—"

"Of course!"

However, Qianhe stepped forward before I could explain, and stopped in front of Zhen Liang who opened the classroom door and walked in.

"If you have self-knowledge, how about leaving now?"

also added fuel to the fire with a smug attitude.

“…… Chikazu Harusaki. ”

"What?"

Ryo narrowed his eyes and called Chiwa's full name slowly.

"You're so short, you've been trampled by a horse."

"Goo, Goo?! Tell me what you're talking about! ”

Qianhe, who was poked in the pain point, was crazy, and Zhenliang looked at the indignant Qianhe with a relaxed expression.

"A healthy body is a sound mind, and if you extrapolate from this standard, Harusaki-san's head is probably about the same as that of an elementary school student."

"It's not like that!"

In order not to let the furious Chiwa pounce towards Zhenliang, I hurriedly pressed her shoulder.

"When I was in elementary school, I was obviously taller than Ruijun! Now it's at least the level of middle school students! ”

…… Is that what you're going to complain about?

"Xia Chuan, why did you come here today?"

The night sky that was originally lying on the table propped up his face, Kitty is on duty today, and Hoshina is because he wants to ask the entangled boys, so he usually arrives late, in other words, the president feels lonely.

"Kitaro, your smile is disgusting."

OTL……

"Well, because, I'm going to get this ready."

Zhen Liang unfolded the calligraphy that was originally under his arm.

——[The girl who performed her own life]

"I think the club needs a clearer action plan to do it, and only by performing their own lives like this and constantly improving themselves can they make more friends."

"Is that so?"

Night Sky has the expression of a housewife who has been deceived by a clever salesman.

"Of course, I suggest sticking it in the most conspicuous place in the community."

Really cool smiled at me and nodded.

"So, please stick it on the wall over there, Ruita."

“…… What the hell are you paying attention to? Taking the notebook in Zhenliang's hand, I lowered my voice and whispered, "It can't be that I really want to post something suddenly, right?" ”

"Don't you think it's a good match? and this society. ”

Zhen Liang smiled and pointed to the words on the notebook with his finger.

"It's [self] [acting] [B]." (Irony self-directed and self-acting)
