"Qiu Yangjun, it's been a long time......"

"I'm sorry, I'm going to bother my aunt again......"

At the end of the summer tour, out of various emotions, Qiu Yang and Nana Hashimoto did not choose to join in the excitement of their celebration banquet, but went back to Nanami Hashimoto's hometown directly.

——This is also Qiu Yang's first visit after the relationship between the two was confirmed. Seeing Mrs. Hashimoto's smiling face, it was obvious that she had already regarded him as her son-in-law.

"Don't bother, don't bother...... The quilt is ready for you! ”

Mrs. Hashimoto quietly looked at Qiu Yang's expression while holding the tea.

"-This time, you should always live with Nanamin......

Qiu Yang was slightly stunned for a moment, then blushed slightly and nodded firmly.

“…… Well. Sorry for your help. ”

"Okay!"

Mrs. Hashimoto was a little emotional for a while - is her daughter finally going to find a lover to entrust her?

However, she was careful and sensitive, and suddenly noticed a little abnormality.

- How do you feel that the distance between the two people has been shortened compared to last time?

……

……

Qiu Yang stretched out his hand to extinguish the small lamp at the head of the bed, and in the dark, the two sat side by side on the bed, speechless for a while.

Summer in Hokkaido has a wonderful magic, and the nights are excessively quiet compared to the summer nights elsewhere – no insects chirping or wind-driven foliage.

Nana Hashimoto has been keeping her head down and thinking since she walked out of the venue at the end of the summer tour, Qiu Yang can probably guess what is on her mind, and she can't say anything.

“…… Nanamin, can you tell me now, what did you talk about last time? ”

After being silent for a long time, he still chose to ask questions, starting with the problems left over from history.

"-Let me tell you the good news first."

"Huh......?"

Nanami Hashimoto's words, Qiu Yang was a little surprised, how could she still talk about good news for herself in the conversation between her and Asuka Saito last time?

"Nothing has happened between you and Azuka."

His eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, and he vaguely saw that Nanami Hashimoto was staring at his eyes, and his gaze was a little complicated.

“…… Huh? ”

"I don't think there's any need for Asuka to lie to me, and besides, looking at the way you don't know anything, I probably have an inference, so it's all a misunderstanding."

“……”

For a while, Qiu Yang didn't know if he should breathe a sigh of relief - after all, in this way, he would be freed from the dilemma that was difficult to juggle.

But on the other hand, other emotions came to his mind - he had thought that his feelings for Azuka were only guilt of responsibility, but now that the obligations no longer existed, it was difficult for him to say that those feelings of his own had disappeared with them.

- After all, is it still self-deception?

Nana Hashimoto didn't tolerate Qiu Yang's silence, only when he was still digesting the sudden news, he said to himself.

"Otherwise, she actually discussed with me about wanting to graduate......"

“……”

Regarding Asuka Saito's graduation, neither of them is willing to speculate on the motivation - although it sounds a bit self-inflicted, it is not realistic to say that it has nothing to do with Qiu Yang.

"--I didn't expect Azuka to be so ...... Worry. ”

In the end, Nana Hashimoto chose to use the word "anxious".

She and Qiu Yang tacitly chose not to check the trend of public opinion on the Internet - at this time, all kinds of social media should have exploded, right? Is Asuka's graduation the result of the operator's volume, or is it self-made?

She does have her knots and guilt - if the only advantage she once had was the restriction of Asuka Saito's "love forbidden", then now that the two are back on the same running line, to put it mildly, her previous actions are like a third party who intervenes in other people's feelings.

Listening to Nana Hashimoto's silence, Qiu Yang knew what he should say at this time.

“…… Nanamin, don't worry. ”

He fumbled and took her hand, perhaps only the companionship of touch was the most effective comfort.

"Between us...... Nothing will change because of her graduation......"

Trying to suppress the weakness and vacillation, Qiu Yang gave the greatest guarantee.

"—Tomorrow, it's Asuka's birthday, right?"

Halfway through the words of comfort, he was suddenly interrupted by Nana Hashimoto.

“…… Right, what's wrong? ”

"Yang, you...... Go spend a day with her, right? ”

“…… Huh? ”

Qiu Yang was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

"I said, you go and stay with Asuka for a day, she should still be in Asahikawa, and what she needs most at this time is you. And ......"

Nana Hashimoto fumbled sideways with her phone, the phone screen lit up, and Qiu Yang saw her biting her lower lip, as if she had made a lot of determination.

"And that's a kind of compensation."

Qiu Yang was silent, he knew that the compensation that Nana Hashimoto did not say might not only be for Asuka Saito, but more so that she could feel a little at ease.

"—but! It's a one-day only! ”

Nanami Hashimoto suddenly turned her head and glanced at him viciously.

"After that, I'll still mind...... You don't want to make an inch! ”

With a little playful remark, the atmosphere was somewhat softened.

"Poof......

Somehow, as if remembering something funny, he chuckled softly—and then, unsurprisingly, was choked in the cheek.

"—What...... Is this an occasion for laughter? ”

Nana Hashimoto said angrily.

“…… No, no, no, just there are wonderful associations. ”

Qiu Yang let her pinch it, while explaining vaguely.

"One day limited or something...... It's really like a TV series......"

……

……

In the summer of Asahikawa, the climate is so pleasant that Qiu Yang, who has lived in Tokyo for a long time, is a little uncomfortable. I have the impression that even the pitifully short autumn days in Tokyo are not so comfortable.

"-Yo-chan! Long time no see! ”

After waiting at the entrance of the station for a long time, he suddenly felt that something was gently poking his waist and eyes.

When I turned around, it was Asuka Saito, who was wearing a hat, sunglasses, and a mask, and was sneakily greeting herself.

"Ah, Asuka-chan, long time no see...... Anyway, you're more likely to be exposed this way! Really! ”

Although his face was tightly blocked, just seeing a familiar figure and hearing a long-lost voice, such a solitary atmosphere still made Qiu Yang feel a little trance - it seemed that back to last year, the two of them could get along without scruples.

It's just that at this time, both of them have some meaning of being wrong, and Qiu Yang can only use complaints to hide his inner wavering.

“…… Congratulations on graduation! Plus Happy Birthday! ”

"What qualifications does Yang-chan have to say about me! Obviously, you're dressed up like this! ”

After looking around, Asuka Saito took off his sunglasses and looked at Qiu Yang with a smile, only a little bit of exposed skin, and the crimson on it were all visible to him.

After a playful response, it was a small response.

"Well, thank you......"

Tacitly, neither of them mentioned superfluous topics, just an ordinary date. This made Qiu Yang's sense of time and space confusion even stronger, and for a while, both of them were a little embarrassed and shy to silence.

"That, the gift ......"

Qiu Yang suddenly thought of the topic of breaking the deadlock, and rummaged through his bag in a little hurry.

"—Wait a minute!"

The hand was suddenly choked, but it was only a brief touch, and then it withdrew with a red face.

"That...... Azuka: I want to get it at the end! ”

"Good...... Today you are the greatest! ”

Although she felt a little strange, Qiu Yang always followed her heart.

“…… So, where does Asuka want to go first? ”

Because yesterday it was Nana Hashimoto who didn't make an appointment for him, obviously the time was limited, but the two didn't make an appointment at all about what they were going to do.

"Hmm...... Where are you going......"

As Qiu Yang was familiar with, Asuka Saito shook his head as if he was very nerve-wracking.

The sense of déjà vu is getting stronger and stronger, and in order not to exacerbate the inner turmoil, he opens his mobile phone and looks at the surrounding fun.

“…… Cinema? Aquaria? Going for shaved ice? ”

While Qiu Yang was checking the map, Asuka Saito inadvertently glanced at his phone, his expression stiffened slightly, and quickly covered it up before the other party noticed.

"—Asuka thought of it!"

The smile that bloomed after reorganizing his mood made Qiu Yang's heart miss half a beat. She pointed to a bus passing by in the distance, and there happened to be a cute cartoon ad on the side of the bus.

“…… I want to go to the zoo! ”

"Zoo ......"

Qiu Yang was slightly stunned for a moment, although he knew that Asuka Saito's proposal for this location was mostly a whim coincidence, but the memories that came to his heart still made the first time today, the kind of beautiful illusion that seemed to be the same as usual and nothing had happened between him and Asuka dissipated in an instant.

- Sure enough, is it still different......

Thinking like this in his heart, he also lowered his head and smiled bitterly, but fortunately, there was a mask to cover it, and she couldn't notice it in front of her.

"Well, let's go to the zoo? Let's go! ”

It wasn't until he started walking that Qiu Yang realized that Asuka's hand had pulled up his sleeve at some point.

— but it's just the sleeves.

"In this way, it will look like me and Yang-chan to others...... Couples? ”

A small voice from Asuka Saito came from behind him, and Qiu Yang suddenly felt that his throat was a little tight.

"-Who knows."

He turned around, took off his sunglasses and mask, and suddenly felt a little relieved that he didn't care about anything - it was a one-day limit anyway, and if you want to talk about crazy things, it has already started last night, hasn't it?

Thinking to himself, he turned back, and for the first time was face to face with Asuka Saito, and showed a smile that was as free as possible, and said with a smile.

“…… Perhaps, it's a brother and sister who are making trouble, right? ”

"What brother and sister!"

Probably this kind of feeling, has it infected Saito Asuka? She let go of her small grip on her sleeve and gently reached for his.

"Is it that it's been too long and I've forgotten it? Azuka, I'm my sister! ”

From the moment of holding hands with each other, the one-day limited tour belonging to Asuka Saito and Qiu Yang can be regarded as the official beginning.
