"Knock Knock"

The steady and rhythmic sound of three knocks on the door came from the entrance to the ears of the people of Sakuraso, who were in the dining room.

"Okay, okay, don't look at me like that anymore, I'll just open the door."

Being stared at by others as a matter of course, Sota said helplessly - since the last time he opened the door to Rita, it seems to have become his responsibility to open the door for visitors - whether it is the guests who visit, or those who come to check the water meter, the courier and other people, he is responsible for opening the door.

It's just that it's so late, who else would suddenly come to visit, could it be a girl like Felicia or Rita?

While secretly speculating—or rather thinking—Sota stepped on his slippers and walked towards the entrance.

Opening the door, there was a sudden darkness in front of him, one tall and one short, and two figures bathed in the moonlight blocked his vision - because of the sudden change between light and darkness, his eyes were a little unable to react for a while, and he didn't see the faces of the two clearly.

"Tosaka-senpai, Akiko-san?" After his eyes adjusted to the somewhat dim environment and saw the faces of the two of them clearly, Sorata, who had wide eyes, exclaimed in surprise.

Shi Chen, who was wearing a long black windbreaker, and Qiuzi, who was wearing a dark green school uniform, stood side by side in front of him, looking at him quietly.

What's going on? Didn't you call in the evening and say you wouldn't be going back to Sakuraso tonight?

"Well, long time no see, Sota." Shi Chen nodded, "I know you have a lot of questions right now, and I'll answer them later—but before that, can you let us in first?" ”

"Oh, okay, senior, come in." Repeatedly agreed, and Kuta made way for the two of them.

Although he was absent for almost a month, Shi Chen's slippers were not put in the shoe cabinet, but were still placed next to the entrance, saving him the trouble of waiting for the slippers.

"Now, why did you guys come back? Didn't you say that you and Akiko went home tonight to meet their parents? ”

When Sota led the two into the dining room, everyone was stunned for a moment, and Chihiro, who looked lazy, took the lead in asking everyone's questions—although some of the words were not very appropriate.

"I had a conflict with my family, so I came back."

Shi Chen's answer was also concise and concise.

"Got a conflict?" Zhenbai tilted her head slightly, and repeated unconsciously—everyone knew that she wasn't asking Shi Chen.

"Well, there's something I didn't do, but they have to rely on me, and I don't want to carry this pot, so I came back with Akiko - is there still our meal tonight?"

"Could it be the XX underage girl case that happened some time ago?" Seemingly thinking about it carefully, Chihiro frowned and said, "This kind of thing, even I know it wasn't done by you - you didn't cook your meal, but there are still a few cucumbers and tomatoes in the refrigerator, you can use it!" ”

"Chihiro-sensei, watch your words! Don't teach bad and white! ”

After she finished speaking, Nanami, Sakura's only conscience, was red-faced and righteous, and he was stern and awe-inspiring.

"It's this momentum, good.job Nanami!" Afraid that the world will not be chaotic, Misaki also shouted.

"Kuta, what is XX?" As soon as the words fell, Mashiro asked Sota with a puzzled face.

"Poof! Ahem, ahem, ahem, you don't need to know this. ”

Sakuraso, as always, is still as harmonious as ever!

Looking at this familiar daily life, Shi Chen's originally expressionless face also became a little softer, and his mood that had become extremely bad because of the previous events was also slightly better.

Sure enough, I should still live in Sakuraso.

"- Hey, you guy's boobs, are you alright?"

Unexpectedly, a certain black and straight pseudo-lady who finally came out to eat at the beginning of this semester, stared at her rice bowl, but asked in a very direct tone.

It's really a guy who cares about it - simple and rude, cold and direct, without regard for his own feelings, not at all like a normal Japanese person.

Thanks to him, everyone moved their eyes to Shi Chen—no, rather, there was one person whose gaze had not left Shi Chen's figure from the beginning.

"Well, although the wound grazed the lungs, it was only rubbed, it did not hurt the trachea and other vital organs, and it did not cause internal bleeding, except for the chest was a little stuffy at the beginning, but now it is basically fine. Of course, a slight feeling of powerlessness is inevitable. ”

Pushing his glasses, Shi Chen said in a report-like tone.

"By the way, tonight I need to change my dressing - you're going to help me?"

"Find someone else, I have something to do—besides, where's your medicine?" Ryunosuke refused without hesitation.

"Here." Shi Chen pointed to the lockbox next to him, "There are bandages too, so, Kongtai?" ”

"Uh-oh! That, I still have something to do, senior, you better invite someone else. ”

Maybe he wanted to agree, but after being made a small move by Ren next to him, Kuta immediately changed his words.

"Don't look at me - if you're a pretty girl, I'll probably think about it." The only person who can say such things is a humanoid self-propelled cannon.

Then after glancing at everyone, Shi Chen secretly thought in his heart, among the remaining people, Nanami, Akiko, Misaki, and a certain unscrupulous housekeeper were not suitable for entrusting this task; Misaki's words should be forgotten, he doesn't want Ren to come to him desperately.

So it's you, so white!

"Mashiro, are you coming? There are Baumkuchen and pineapple bread. ”

"Really?" When she heard the name of her favorite food, her eyes lit up immediately.

"Really."

"Senior, I think I can help you with this matter too - I still have a little confidence in bandaging."

Akiko stood up, although she was a little shy, but not to be outdone, she recommended herself.

"Bandaging?" Mashiro tilted her head cutely.

"My wounds, it's horrible. Children will have nightmares when they see it. ”

After being silent for a while, Shi Chen said with a serious look on his face - if Qiuzi saw her wounds, she would definitely guess something, although it was impossible to know the whole thing because of this, but if it was investigated, it would be a troublesome thing - if it was noticed by other interested people, it would be even more troublesome.

"I'm not afraid." Akiko stubbornly insisted.

"In short, it just doesn't work—obedient."

"Okay." After staring at Shi Chen for a while, Qiuzi, who guessed something, said unwillingly.

"Then Ziyuan, I have you to lose."

Turning his gaze to Ziyuan, who had been looking at him with faint and gentle eyes, Shi Chen pushed his glasses and said in a flat tone.
