Koizumi Ona clicked on the photo, and it was a selfie of Toru Watanabe.

After confirming that the background was really Dongshan Villa, she finally couldn't control her sleepiness and fell asleep.

The phone gradually slipped and finally fell to the ground with a dull sound.

"Kinai, something has fallen." Huangzi shouted, and seeing that Koizumi Qingna didn't react, he got up and walked over.

"Asleep?" As she spoke, she picked up her phone.

The screen hasn't gone out yet, and on it is Toru Watanabe's enlarged face.

"This kid has no flaws after magnification!" With the idea of 'you must find out the shortcomings', Akiko keeps zooming in on various parts.

As she was staring at her nose, desperately trying to find the blackhead, she suddenly reacted:

Kinai, looking at this photo and falling asleep.

She hurriedly reduced the photo, and it was the LINE chat interface with Toru Watanabe.

I was just about to swipe to check the chat, but the action stopped again.

The two grew up together since childhood, and they have become close since high school, and it has been 9 years now, but is this qualified to casually watch Qingnai's chat history?

Resisting her intense curiosity, Akira quietly put her phone back, slipped back to the bed, and took out her own phone.

……

Friday, November 6.

No matter how prosperous the city is, when the sky is bright, it is as quiet as ruins.

Toru Watanabe runs on the bluestone pavement of Sanjusaka, and a thin layer of white wafts in the transparent air.

In a short time, the day will be when autumn will turn completely.

Back at Higashiyama Villa, I took a slow shower and changed my clothes before walking to the restaurant.

I thought there was no one left, but it turned out that there were still classmates dining, and Rin Kiyono, who was yawning, was among them.

Yesterday it was Uji again, and Kamogawa was dragged to an Internet café by him at night, and it was expected that he would be too tired to get up in the morning.

Toru Watanabe walked to the corner where Rin Kiyono was and sat down across from her.

"Good morning, Kiyono-san."

"Good morning." In the greeting, there was a sleepiness that could not be hidden: "I started." ”

After Rin Kiyono finished speaking, he poked open the half-boiled egg with his chopsticks.

The yolk flows out of the film and spreads over the egg whites.

Toru Watanabe, who is a well-known party, can't turn a blind eye to this kind of scene.

"Kiyono-san, has anyone ever said that you are an overly serious person?"

Rin Kiyono swallowed the egg in her mouth and took a sip of the warm miso soup, and only after doing all this did she look up at Toru Watanabe.

"What do you want to do?"

"What do you mean by 'what do you want to do'? Have I done anything? I just wanted to talk to you about ...... on this wonderful morning."

"Tell me something directly." Rin Kiyono interrupted him unceremoniously.

The euphemistic and gentle girl is cute, and her straightforward personality is not hated.

"That's right," Toru Watanabe paused, "Would you like to taste hard-boiled eggs?" ”

Rin Kiyono stared at Toru Watanabe expressionlessly for a long time.

Just when Toru Watanabe thought that he had fallen asleep last night, he inadvertently added some points to himself when Rin Kiyono spoke.

"I see." Her expression seemed to have solved a math problem before Toru Watanabe, and her tone was full of a sense of overlook, "Are you a well-acquainted party?" ”

“...... What does it have to do with what party? I just want you to try different things, but there are all kinds of things in this world. ”

"Lies."

"It's a lie, but I still want you to taste it."

Toru Watanabe used chopsticks that he hadn't had time to use before to put the hard-boiled eggs he hadn't eaten into a bowl of Rin Kiyono.

Rin Kiyono looked at the egg twice.

"Forget about other things, but this one, I will never give in." She picks up the hard-boiled egg with chopsticks and puts it back in Toru Watanabe's bowl.

"Just taste it, it's okay, right?" Toru Watanabe clipped the eggs back to her.

"If it's just an ordinary taste, of course it's okay," Rin Kiyono gave him back the egg again, "A hard-boiled egg sent by a well-cooked party, it's a provocation, it's a war." ”

Toru Watanabe put down his chopsticks and stared at Rin Kiyono with a blank face.

After a while, he said, "You don't give me face? ”

"Forcing friends who like soft-boiled eggs to eat hard-boiled eggs...... This is what you call face? ”

Rin Kiyono's gaze was cold and full of reproach.

The two looked at each other motionless for a while.

Watanabe's eyes moved, and Rin Kiyono took the lead in not holding back, slightly turned his face away, and laughed.

Toru Watanabe also laughed: "Think about it, although the two of us have argued many times, we haven't really quarreled yet?" ”

"Ah, Watanabe-san is very confident, do you think you can quarrel with me?"

"You're going to win even this?"

"What's the opinion"

"No, I just feel that Kiyono-san is stubborn and cute, and I really want to touch your legs, but I don't know what kind of feel it will be."

"Watanabe-san."

"Huh?"

"Can you please stay away from me? I can't stand you anymore. ”

Rin Kiyono unabashedly showed an expression of extreme disgust.

Toru Watanabe took a bite of a hard-boiled egg, a thoughtful look on his face.

"Don't you feel weird?" He said, "It's okay to say that I'm leg control, but I'm not interested in other people's legs at all, and when I walk on the road, I don't go out of my way to look at a girl's legs, only you, Kiyono-san, I can't get tired of looking at it, do you have any opinion on this matter?" ”

"Because I'm the most beautiful." Rin Kiyono told the truth perfunctorily.

I see, the answer is so simple. Usually I am always thinking alone, and the more I think about it, the more strange it becomes, and even I feel incredible. ”

"Self-observation ......" The girl sitting opposite repeats these words with almost desperate helplessness.

After their last breakfast in Kyoto, the students of Kamigawa High School boarded the bus bound for Kyoto Station.

"The Silver Fire Dragon is already a defeated general, we will continue the great journey and march towards the Golden Fire Dragon!" Osamu Kunii raised his arms and spoke out loud.

"I tried it alone last night, and I was so angry that I almost deleted the game!"

"Your Uncle Guojing is here, leave everything to me!"

Toru Watanabe didn't understand at all, how did the crusade against monsters in the game become a 'great journey'?

Anyway, at least it should be the kind of thing that makes Rin Kiyono become a full-fledged party, so it can be considered great, right?

In between opening the game, Toru Watanabe looked out the window.

The sky was scattered with thin clouds, like white marshmallows torn into wisps.

The bus to Kyoto Station is running under such a sky.

In the golden fire dragon was mighty, the four of them continued to exhaust the time to fall, and the bus arrived at Kyoto Station.

"You have twenty minutes to move around freely, and you can go to the souvenir shop if you want, but remember, you can't leave the station, do you hear me?"

"Yes!"

The youthful and lively voice ushered in the envy, curiosity, and memory of passers-by.

Toru Watanabe didn't go to the souvenir shop.

Before going to bed last night, he had a video call with Miki Kujou, and the other party clearly rejected his offer to bring souvenirs.

The eldest lady's original words were: "What can you buy with that little money?" ”

In this way, she still carries a cheap ring from Toru Watanabe - according to the calculation that 1 point can be exchanged for 100 yen, 1,000 points is only 100,000 yen.

This is for Miki Kujo...... If she could earn 10 yen for one step, she wouldn't even bother to move.

Apart from her, there is no one in Tokyo who has asked Toru Watanabe to bring souvenirs.

Since he didn't have to buy anything, he didn't have anything to do, so he wandered around the station and came to the hall unconsciously.

The 4,000 pieces of glass still hang high in the dome.

When I first came to Kyoto, I was tasked with getting Reina's signature.

Rina was selected by the system, and she was really outstanding in all aspects, with a beautiful appearance, a large number of breasts, a maverick character, and an extraordinary talent for the trumpet.

But Toru Watanabe is not interested in her like this, but Kumiko who really wants to be friends with her.

I really wanted to see Kumiko again, and when I was about to leave Kyoto, and I didn't know when I would meet next, the idea suddenly popped into his mind.

It's half past nine in the morning, and the second class has just begun, what class is she taking?

Kamikawa's second period on Friday is math, will Kita Uji also be math?

Could she be scratching her head in annoyance?

Or, copy down the knowledge points on the blackboard word for word with a serious face?

"Watanabe, it's time to assemble!" Koizumi Kina's gentle voice brought him back to his senses.

"It's coming!"

Toru Watanabe was about to walk over to meet when the phone in the right pocket of his pants rang.

Looking at a series of spooky geisha memes, Toru Watanabe smiled and put away his phone.

This is the end of the school trip for the first year of high school.

......

On Saturdays and Sundays after the school trip, there was some idleness.

Others have to go to cram school to catch up on the homework they have recently missed, but Toru Watanabe reads a book before going to bed even when he goes on a school trip, so he doesn't need to work so hard.

I went with Kujou Mihime, bought clothes, and was led to eat horse meat sashimi in a restaurant.

Horsemeat...... Sashimi......

If you want to write a biography in the future, Toru Watanabe will definitely pass these two days.

Monday, November 9th, is another sunny autumn day.

Toru Watanabe came back from running, and Miki Kujo was still sleeping.

"I'm leaving."

"Hmm." Kujou Miki replied in a daze.

He surveyed her sleeping face.

The sleeping appearance is so peaceful, and the soft and cute expression is the opposite of when you are awake.

Toru Watanabe couldn't help but kiss her.

Kujou Mihime also habitually responded, sticking out her warm and soft tongue.

The two kissed for a while, and she pushed Toru Watanabe away in disgust.

Muttering, 'It's all toothpaste,' he turned his back and quickly let out a soothing snort.

Actually, Toru Watanabe has already had breakfast, and the toothpaste smell should have been gone for a long time, and the ice cream last time was the same, does Kujo Miki have a taste that is good enough to become a top gourmet?

Leaving Chiyoda, getting off the train, and walking uphill to school, Toru Watanabe has the feeling that time has passed for a long time.

At the morning class meeting, Koizumi Kina changed it to an English test without authorization.

In her words, it is to let everyone know what kind of state they are in, whether they are retracting their minds, and preparing to study.

The amount of questions is very small, about one question of each question type.

Toru Watanabe took ten minutes to solve the problem, and took out of the drawer, a long story by Marcel Proust of France.

Koizumi Kina walked up to Toru Watanabe and picked up the test paper he had placed in the corner of his desk.

The answers were read one by one, and finally the test paper was put back on the desk and pressed with an eraser.

Looking around the classroom, all the students were carefully solving the problems, and this time the reading comprehension was very difficult, and it was her own questions.

After reading it around, she boredly focused on the book in Toru Watanabe's hand.

Toru Watanabe is analyzing one of the example sentences...... It's not so much about being there, it's about learning.

Koizumi Ona even wanted to make Toru Watanabe not allowed to do anything else during the English test.

It's not that it's not allowed, but it's too hard, at least take a break during the exam.

After the bell rings.

"Classmates in front, put the paper away."

"Ahh

After Koizumi Kina took the test paper and left, Keisuke Saito immediately came over.

"Watanabe, reading comprehension third, the main idea of the article, what did you choose?"

"C, Cressy and Rachel's past."

"Ahh I'm! Keisuke Saito held his head in remorse, "I wanted to choose this at first, but it turned out to be D, a memory of Cressy and Franço!" ”

"I also chose D." Kazumi Ikeda, who can jump in front of Toru Watanabe, turns around and joins the conversation.

"You two!" Kunii Shu said angrily, "You don't want to be superstitious about authority, why should Toru Watanabe's answer be right!" ”

"Makes sense." Toru Watanabe nodded approvingly.

"Kunii, you also chose D?" Kazumi Ikeda asked curiously.

"C, hey, hey."

"Hello—disgusting!" Kazumi Ikeda leaned back and looked at Osamu Kunii as if she couldn't stand it.

"This question obviously chooses C! Although the whole article is full of conversations between Cressy and Franço, it is mainly about the past of Cressy and Rachelle! There should be a limit to your carelessness! ”

After Kunii Xiu triumphantly analyzed the solution ideas, everyone's topic returned to daily life.

"Watanabe-kun," Kazumi Ikeda sneered, "how is Kyoto?" ”

"You're colluding, aren't you?" Toru Watanabe remembered that he was confessed by the girls in turn, and looked at her helplessly.

"They begged me, what can I do! By the way, during the bonfire, will you dance with Kujo-san? ”

"Bonfire?" Toru Watanabe asked suspiciously.

Osamu Kunii explained, "It's winter camping in December, and there is a bonfire on the last day. ”

"It is said that during the finale, the two dancing will get married." Keisuke Saito added.

"Ito-san's lesson is still vivid in my mind, and I still dare to hold a bonfire?" Toru Watanabe said.

"Ito-san?" Kazumi Ikeda looked at the girl in the class with the surname Ito.

"It's not Ito from our class." Keisuke Saito said with a smile, "It's a male protagonist called anime, and because there are more girls who want to dance with him at the bonfire, his head is cut off in the end." ”

The plot is probably like this, but being beheaded is not directly related to the bonfire.

"Ah, isn't this Watanabe-kun's future?" Kazumi Ikeda pointed at Toru Watanabe with a look of surprise that she perceived.

"You did it on purpose, right?!"

"Hmm!" Kazumi Ikeda smiled and nodded vigorously.

"Didn't you just finish a school trip? How can there be activities again? Why didn't Mr. Koizumi say it? Toru Watanabe wondered.

There are also too many activities in schools in the island country, almost every month.

"It's the norm." Kazumi Ikeda played with her ponytail, "Last year it was spring camping, and this year it will definitely be winter camping, and the time is probably December. ”

"Isn't that early?"

"Reminiscences, Watanabe!" Osamu Kunii slapped his hand heavily on Toru Watanabe's shoulder.

I couldn't hear what he was saying at all.

Toru Watanabe looked at his excited expression and looked at him suspiciously: "Should you ...... Are you going to invite Kazuki-san to dance? ”

"Huh? Kunii likes Kazuki? Kazumi Ikeda was surprised.

"How is that possible! Don't talk nonsense! Kunii Shu refused in an exaggerated tone, "By the way, speaking of camping, have you seen it?" Rin-chan is so cute! ”

Toru Watanabe stood up and pressed Kunii Shu on his desk with lightning speed.

"You deserve to be called Rin-chan too!"

"I'm talking about Shima Rin! It's not Kiyono-san! Kunii Shu hurriedly explained.

"Rin Shima is mine too!"

"Yours you have, then I'll choose Nadeshiko!"

"Nadeshiko has already registered with me!"

"I ..... I'm fighting with you! Ahh Stop it! I'm going to choose Inuyama Wasabi! Kunii wailed.

"No, you can only choose Takewa."

"You're crazy! Chikuwa is a dog! Watanabe! Don't deceive people too much! ”

Keisuke Saito and Kazumi Ikeda laughed, and the rest of Class 4 looked at each other frequently.

Outside the classroom window, white clouds and blue sky, and airplane clouds outline the lines.

A short and comfortable time in a busy study life.
