Due to the class meeting, each class has a different time after school, and when Toru Watanabe stepped into the activity classroom of the Human Observation Department, Rin Kiyono was already making tea.

After the weather suddenly cooled down, it has become her habit to drink hot tea and read a book at the same time.

Miki Kujou is not here today, to be precise, most of the time.

It's just been so busy in high school, and Toru Watanabe is pessimistic about the fact that the two will have four children in the future.

Maybe after giving birth to a child, Kujou Miki thinks it's too much of a waste of time, so forget about it later.

However, this kind of thing depends on the thoughts of both parties.

Thinking about the mess, Toru Watanabe closed the door and sat down at the beech table.

The reason why this beech table is old and durable and not disposed of by the school may be because it looks like an antique?

The rectangular table was held against the wall on the wide side, and Rin Kiyono sat on the long side closest to the window, and Toru Watanabe's seat was exactly the farthest diagonal from Rin Kiyono.

Toru Watanabe took out "Funny Quotes in Spanish" from the bookshelf and flipped to the place where he last looked.

"Give."

"Thank you." Toru Watanabe took the teacup handed by Rin Kiyono.

Blowing the white heat, you can see the tea leaves like musical notes, and you can't hear what kind of music is composed through the tea.

After two sips of tea, Toru Watanabe said in Spanish, "I've been learning almost in Spain lately, which foreign language should I learn next?" ”

"French." Rin Kiyono didn't raise his head, looked at the book in his hand, and replied in Spanish as well.

"Why?"

"Spanish comes from the Latin language family, and if you know Spanish, you can understand almost 60% Portuguese, 60% Italian and 40% French, of which French is one of the six official languages of the United Nations."

"Makes sense." Toru Watanabe nodded, "But you say, what am I doing with so many languages?" I now know Chinese, Island, English, Spanish, not all of them, but I can communicate with at least two-thirds of the world's people. ”

"What you need to do more than language is how to prevent Alzheimer's disease – it's up to you to learn it."

“...... I'm here to surpass you. But we're friends now, best friends in the world, and there's no closer friend than we do, so there's no need to be different, right? ”

Rin Kiyono laughed contemptuously and didn't answer.

"I'll start learning French tomorrow!" After speaking, Toru Watanabe looked at Rin Kiyono vigilantly, "You only know seven languages now, don't secretly learn the eighth language while I'm learning." ”

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in languages."

"And what do you learn so much for?"

"There are people at home who teach it, and the content is simple, so I learned it by the way." Rin Kiyono's slender fingers pinched the footer of the book and gracefully flipped the page back.

"It's nice to live in a wealthy family."

"Don't you live in a wealthy family now, Toru Watanabe-san?"

"I've told you many times that the happiest time for me is ...... every month."

A knock on the door interrupted Toru Watanabe, who glanced back at the door and said, "Please come in." ”

The people who came in unexpectedly were Osamu Kunii and Keisuke Saito.

"It's you, what's the matter?" Toru Watanabe asked.

Keisuke Saito spread his hands: "I don't know, I'm trying to show my masculinity at sports festivals and cultural festivals in order to get Shiori to confess to me in the club, and this guy Kunii rushed in and brought me here." ”

Toru Watanabe looked at Rin Kiyono and saw that she didn't have any doubtful expression.

He asked her in surprise, "Do you also know "Heartbeat Memories"?" ”

"Heartbeat memories? What is that? ”

It seems that Rin Kiyono is just not interested in the affairs of Keisuke Saito.

"It's a beautiful girl development game." Toru Watanabe explained.

"Beautiful girl upbringing?"

"How can I explain it to you, for example, Toru Watanabe shined at the cultural festival, and he rode a thousand at the sports festival, and won the first place in the country in his academic performance, and Rin Kiyono, who originally ignored him, gradually fell in love with him, and finally confessed to him when he graduated."

After listening to Toru Watanabe's vivid explanation, Rin Kiyono's expression was as calm as ever.

But I don't know if it's Toru Watanabe's illusion, but I always feel that there is murder in her sight.

He looked away and looked at Kunii Shu: "What's wrong with Kunii?" Finally, I couldn't stand the insults from the baseball coach and came to the two of us to beat him up? I suggest that the time be changed to night, and it is not good to hit the teacher during the day. ”

"How is that possible!" Osamu Kunii loudly refused, and then suddenly said in a low voice, "When I went downstairs, I suddenly saw a flyer posted by the Human Observation Department. ”

"What flyer?" Keisuke Saito wondered.

Shuichi Kunii said, and Toru Watanabe immediately remembered.

"To help you achieve love, those who need it should go to the Human Observation Department on the fifth floor."

"We'll keep it a secret for you, and trust us in our abilities."

"BY: Human Observation Department"

It was a flyer that Kiyono Rin had nothing to do in order to make him fall in love with her, but from beginning to end, only Aoi Ichiki was "fooled".

Toru Watanabe glanced at Rin Kiyono suspiciously.

'Haven't you removed it yet?' ’

'Why do you want to remove it?' ’

Toru Watanabe nodded, indicating that there was no comment.

Osamu Kunii ignored Keisuke Saito's doubts and continued: "If it was written by another club, I would definitely think it was a prank, but Watanabe you are a member of the Human Observation Department, and the other one is Kiyono-san, so I ......"

"Wait a minute," Toru Watanabe interrupted, "You're here, won't it be, when you're going on a school trip, ...... She confessed? ”

Osamu Kunii squirmed and squeezed 'um'.

"Yes, Kunii!" Keisuke Saito's hand slapped on Osamu Kunii's shoulder, "It's a man!" Have a backbone! I'm sticking with you! ”

Toru Watanabe: "......"

Osamu Kunii→ Aoi Ichiki → Mai Tomorrow, and then, it seems, there is himself.

What the hell is wrong with this world? Destroy it.

Please, Kiyono-sama, this is my only request for today.

"It's another love-related event, and it's a boy to a girl, which is more valuable than Yiki's classmates." After whispering softly, Rin Kiyono raised his head and said to Osamu Kunii, "Please tell me about you." ”

"Yes!" Osamu Kunii replied with the morale of the baseball coach.

"Excuse me, I can hear you."

“...... Be. It took a moment for Osamu Kunii to struggle out of Rin Kiyono's sense of oppression, "I like Aoi Ichiki, who is in the third class of the year, we played games together, and during the sports festival, she rehearsed in the playground, and I also talked to her, in short, I think she is cute and want to ...... with her." Socialize, please help me! ”

Looking at Osamu Kunii, who was bowing, Rin Kiyono's puzzled gaze shot at Toru Watanabe.

You didn't tell him? ’

'That's a private matter for Ikki Aoi, what do I say?' ’

Rin Kiyono nodded, meaning: Got it, you step down.

"Kunii-san, I have unfortunate news for you."

"Huh? What the? Kunii Shuhan raised his head with a puzzled expression.

"Kazuki-san, she already likes someone, and she is also ready to confess during her school trip."

Kunii Shuleng is there.

"Sorry, we can't help." In Kiyono Rin's tone, there was no trace of 'shattering the boy's longing for love'.

Toru Watanabe also said, "Give up, Kunii." ”

"How can it be ......" half-sounded, and Kunii Xiu said this.

"Don't give up, Kunii Shu!" Keisuke Saito grabbed Osamu Kunii's shoulder, "What about having someone you like?" It's not marriage! Aoi Ikki is working hard for his own happiness, are you going to back down? Don't tell me, you who can break into Koshien are a coward who doesn't even have the courage to confess! ”

"Yes, you're right." Osamu Kunii's eyes brightened, "Failure and success are not important, what matters is whether you have done your best, thank you, coach!" ”

It should have been the baseball coach who was full of 'bastards, idiots, idiots' that said something to him.

Of course, Toru Watanabe dares to guarantee that the coach is definitely not talking about falling in love.

Also, what's the situation with this guy Saito? The guy who usually would rather play games than date a girl actually said such a bloody thing.

Toru Watanabe looked at Keisuke Saito suspiciously.

"Not bad, right? Lines I just learned from galgame. Keisuke Saito said proudly, "This is when the male protagonist is discouraged and does not dare to confess to the female protagonist, and another female character who has a crush on the male protagonist encourages him." ”

What's that game?

It always feels like a story that is suitable for taking place in winter, and maybe there is a firewood knife.

But ah, Saito, Aoi Ichiki likes girls.

"I think it's better to wait for Yiki's confession to see if she succeeds, if she fails, Kunii you confess again, so it's safer." Toru Watanabe suggested.

Whether it's Aoi Ikki or Osamu Kunii, they're actually doomed to failure.

Ever since he knew that Aoi Ichiki liked girls, Toru Watanabe had been persuading Osamu Kunii to give up, but because it was not good to say it too bluntly, it had no effect.

"Love doesn't need to be secure! Strike first! A heart that likes her is enough! "Keisuke Saito is passionately like the leader of a pyramid scheme.

This is just a metaphor, after all, Toru Watanabe has never been involved in a pyramid scheme, so naturally he doesn't know what the pyramid scheme leader is.

It's just that in my impression, I always feel like a person holding a microphone and waving his fist while shouting 'I will succeed' and 'I can do it!' I can! 'The middle-aged man.

"That's right." Rin Kiyono nodded in agreement for some reason.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Toru Watanabe looked at him in disbelief.

"Forget about Keisuke Saito, you know whether Ichiki likes men or women! ’

Rin Kiyono ignored his eyes and said directly:

"Isn't this the case, in order to eliminate the rival in love, the despicable girl deliberately reveals to the other party who she likes, so that the girl is embarrassed to say that she likes the boy, even if she is confessed by the boy, she will hesitate to accept it."

"Are we talking about the same thing, Kiyono-san? I think it's better to wait. ”

"What else is there to wait for!" This time it was Kunii Xiu himself, and he said excitedly, "I don't have much time in my first year of high school, and if I don't fall in love again, my life will come to an end!"

...... Your life is too short.

Please live well until your sophomore year of high school, no, please keep living!

Watanabe took a big sip of tea with a headache, thought about it, and asked, "Where is the location?" Where to go on a school trip? Even if you know where the third class will go, how can you guarantee that our class will go there too? ”

"That's why I came to you Watanabe!" "If you tell Ikeda-san where you want to go and ask them to help, they'll be willing." ”

"That's right, no girl can refuse you Watanabe!" Keisuke Saito also said.

"Isn't there just one?" Toru Watanabe pointed at Rin Kiyono.

Rin Kiyono gave him a blank look.

There are still idle jokes on his lips, and Toru Watanabe is already bitter in his heart.

The news that he asked the girls to help vote was spread to Mai Tomorrow, just to create an opportunity to confess to her; When it reached the ears of Kujo Mihime, it was his preference for Rin Kiyono.

But if you don't help, it's a good friend's plea.

Or a good friend who is about to confess to a girl.。

'Kunii, I misunderstood you, our lives really can only end in the first year of high school. ’

Just put the end of Kui Yimu's liking for girls.

But you really can't do that, that's someone else's privacy.

For the sake of yourself, telling other people's privacy to others is really not what a handsome guy in Tokyo should do.

Aoi Ichaki himself doesn't want more people, especially boys, to know about this, right? Otherwise, I wouldn't have lied to the people in the class, saying that it was a confession to a boy in Mai's class tomorrow.

If Osamu Kunii is someone who can keep secrets, it doesn't matter if you tell him, but he has a good relationship with the seniors in the baseball club, and he usually talks about emotional problems during training breaks, and the following scene may happen:

'Kunii, didn't you say you were going to confess to Aoi Ichiki? ’

'Don't say it, senior. ’

'What's wrong?' It can't be scared, right? Or was it rejected? ’

It's kind of rejected. ’

'Why?' The reason? ’

There's nothing to say, rejection is rejection. ’

"No, what's the relationship between the two of us? Talk to your seniors, I promise not to tell anyone else! ”

‘...... Okay, but don't tell anyone else. ’

'Rest assured! ’

That's probably it, and then the senior told the gossip female manager, the female manager told the female manager of the football department, and the female manager of the football department told everyone in the football department......

In the end, the whole school will know that Aoi Ichiki likes girls.

Toru Watanabe doesn't care if the whole school knows it or not, but at least he can't let secrets leak from him.

"Watanabe, please!" Osamu Kunii said, bowing to Toru Watanabe, who hesitated.

"Watanabe, you'll help Kuni." Keisuke Saito persuaded.

"Okay." Toru Watanabe said helplessly, "But to communicate with the girl, I have to report it to my family, K-san, if she doesn't agree......"

"Watanabe! Please! It's my first time pursuing a girl! ”

"That's right, just tell the female classmates where you want to play, Kujo-san will definitely understand!"

Only those who can understand can have ghosts.

Looking at Kunii Shu, who had been looking at him pitifully, even though he knew that he had a pretending part, Toru Watanabe still nodded and said, "Okay, okay, for your love, I'll go to hell for a trip." ”

"Great! Please, Watanabe! Osamu Kunii waved his fist excitedly, "By the way, there is one more thing I want to ask Kiyono-san and Watanabe." ”

"Say it, say it, say it all." Toru Watanabe doesn't care about anything anymore.

"You're so smart and very popular, and you've definitely received a lot of love letters, so I wanted you to help me design the lines for my confession."

"Wouldn't it be nice to just say, 'I like you'?" Toru Watanabe wondered.

"No, no, no, Watanabe, when you confessed to Kujo-san, how good you said! You can help me think about it carefully. ”

"Where do I want you to do this time?"

"That's right, there's no rush in this matter, there's still three days, anyway, please two. Saito, let's go, go find out where the third class will go! ”

"Don't worry about this matter, there are two third-class students in the computer department, let's go directly to them!"

"The baseball club has it too! It really doesn't work, let's go to other clubs and ask! Even if it's a seat under the soil, I have to ask it today! ”

"I'll sit down with you!"

"Good brother!"

The backs of the two of them hooking their shoulders and backs, and the pride and ambition of you and me, are like middle-aged brothers who are ready to dig ancient tombs and dream of making a fortune.

After they left, Rin Kiyono smiled and said, "I thought you would tell them about Kazuki-san's liking for girls." ”

"Am I that unprincipled?" Toru Watanabe took a sip of tea and accidentally ate a piece of tea.

"That's one of the few advantages you have." Rin Kiyono affirmed in a rare tone of appreciation.

"My greatest strength is that I have countless advantages."

Rin Kiyono was noncommittal: "Do you have any plans regarding their confession?" ”

"Kazuki-san's side, the main thing is to figure out where you like to be confessed, and to help create time for solitude, so that others don't know that she is ..... Tomorrow's senior sister's confession. ”

"You don't have to change your words, you two have a good relationship, I vaguely guessed a little." Rin Kiyono blew lightly on the teacup.

“...... It always feels like you're so scary. ”

"I'm not scary at all." Rin Kiyono looked at Toru Watanabe with a cold gaze, "What about Kunii-san?" You're a good friend of his, what's good about him? ”

"Is it useful to say that there are advantages? Kazuki-san's preference for girls is female. As for the title, I really want to call the name, only Mihime and Kiyono-san. ”

"You think it's going to make the listener happy? When you were disliked by the wind club, Kazuki-san, I talked to me a few times, and she not only likes girls, but also has a good impression of boys. ”

"It's all killed, it's amazing!"

"What's the big deal?"

"No, I just wanted to talk about it."

"Deputy Minister, we are in a meeting, don't gossip."

"Yes, Minister." Watanabe paused, "In order to avoid delays and misunderstandings, I would like to ask a question. ”

"Just ask."

"This meeting, are we discussing the issue of the title of tomorrow's senior sister, or the matter of Kui Ichiki and Osamu Kunii?"

"What do you say?"

"I don't know."

"Let's talk about the advantages of Kunii Shu." Rin Kiyono refills herself with hot tea.

Toru Watanabe handed over the cup, and because the water was almost at the bottom, he even drank the tea leaves in his mouth just now.

Rin Kiyono didn't mean to pour it for him, and gave him the pot directly.

"Okay." Toru Watanabe poured a cup with his own hands, "Kunii's merits ......"

In the next club time, the two discussed some strategies.

Including: how to adapt measures to local conditions, so that Yimu Aoi can realize the advantages of Kunijing repair; The timing and lines of Osamu Kunii's confession, etc.

When it was dark and it was time for the end of school, the two locked the classroom door and left the school building.

On the other side of the playground, there are crows wandering in a mixed flock, their gait is steady, and they still look like the owner of Kamigawa.

"It's getting colder." The cold night breeze blew into the neckline of Toru Watanabe's uniform.

Rin Kiyono nodded and carefully wrapped the scarf.

Her snow-white and beautiful little face, wrapped in a handsome scarf, is so cute.

"Kiyono-san, it's so cute."

"You've said that too many times."

"It's too much, so you don't feel it?"

"Watanabe-san, you're very handsome."

"Hmm-" Toru Watanabe repeated this sentence, "I've heard many people say that I'm handsome, but it still makes me happy to say it from Kiyono-san, who never lies...... No, I can't be happy alone, I have to find a way to make you happy. ”

Rin Kiyono didn't take on such boring topics.

On the downhill slope to Yotsuya Station, red and yellow leaves cover the entire road, and the colorful trail looks like a carpet.

"Tamamo is cute in a scarf, Asako Hanada is cute in a scarf, Misaki Komatsu is cute in a scarf, Ritsuko Sato is cute in a scarf......"

Toru Watanabe listed a long list of the names of the girls in the wind club.

"Lies, not a word is true. What exactly are you trying to say? Rin Kiyono frowned.

Before Toru Watanabe could finish speaking, he added the last sentence: "Rin Kiyono is the cutest when she wears a scarf." ”

"......" Rin Kiyono pulled her scarf up as if she was cold, "Your friend is indeed not mistaken about you, you have a talent for writing love letters." ”

"It also depends on who is right, if I write a love letter, I must have Kujou Miki in mind, and the taste of writing is not right."

"Yes." Rin Kiyono replied disinterestedly, and pressed down the scarf that covered her mouth.

"R-san, you're so cute!"

"I'm telling the truth, but why do you feel like you're playing tricks on me?"

"No, I respect you......"

"Lies."

"Wait, listen to me, eh, don't go! Wrong, I was wrong! ”
