Asuka Saito woke up in the hallway of her home, and she was awakened by her daily work alarm.

I took out my mobile phone and looked, it was already more than nine o'clock in the morning, fortunately, today's work schedule is only for the afternoon broadcast activities, otherwise passive sabotage is a great idol disqualification incident.

The intense headache of the hangover, and the fact that he spent the night on the hard floor last night, made the bird hurt all over his body now, and his head was even more groggy, and he couldn't remember exactly how he got in last night.

It seems that Yoda-chan sent herself into the house? She began to think slowly.

Yes! Yesterday I had a terrible nightmare! In the dream, there was a professional baseball player who followed him in a daze, wearing a dirty baseball jersey with drooling in his mouth, and shouting as he ran: "Asuka-chan, I want to marry you and have monkeys!" ”

In the dream, she was so frightened that she retreated again and again, there was no way to retreat, and the big obscene hands were about to hug her, she mustered up the courage and slapped it, only to beat the obscene uncle to the ground.

- And then, there's the second half of the dream. The bird seemed to remember it all.

In the second half of the dream, she met her mother, who she hadn't seen for a long time because of work. Mom held her little one in her dream for a long time, swaying gently and softly like when she was a child, dispelling the uneasiness of the nightmare. It's been a long time since I've let my guard down and get a good night's sleep.

It's just, I don't know why, my mother was very fierce when she put herself down, and she didn't have the gentleness she had just now, and she almost woke up Asuka!

Moving his aching joints, Asuka Saito washes his face while recalling yesterday's dream of ice and fire.

- Wait a minute.

- Wait a minute!!

I seem to remember something!

Yoda-chan she、It seems、Leave me outside、Left, right?

So I am, how did I get in??

As soon as I tried to think about it, my head buzzed again.

But when it was drowsy and chaotic, someone suddenly knocked on the door outside.

As usual, Asuka Saito did not answer the door directly, but pretended not to be at home and quietly peeked out through the cat's eye.

Outside the door was a tall and thin man who looked about his own age, wearing a yellow plaid shirt and thin-rimmed glasses, and looking polite. He also carried two paper bags in his hand.

It's just that it's quite funny that the man's right cheek has a bright red palm print. With the man's serious expression, it has a comedic effect.

But Asuka Saito couldn't laugh, and she had some foreboding in connection with a series of events last night...

Just as the bird's brain was spinning, the young man outside the door spoke.

"Hello, I'm your next-door neighbor, my name is Qiu Yang, and I'm an international student at the University of Tokyo. When I met for the first time, I came to the door today to bother, prepared a little courtesy, and hoped to smile. With that, the man leaned the paper bag in his hand towards the cat's eye, as if he was sure that someone was watching inside. It's the first time we've met, and I'd like to ask for more advice in the future. ”

The honorifics are spoken quite decently, and the accent is not at all like that of a foreigner. It's just that the words "first meeting" are particularly strange, as if they are in... Laughing?

Asuka Saito struggled with whether to open the door and say hello to the young man.

If it is normal, limited by her identity, she will deliberately not meet her neighbors, not to mention that she is the same age and the opposite sex, and it is a troublesome thing to be photographed by a magazine.

But now it's a matter of likelihood that the new neighbor wasn't meeting her for the first time at all, and that he even recognized herself—and that there would be no point in avoiding it, and that the latter was something that Asuka Saito didn't particularly want to see, suggesting that she was moving again.

But it's very likely that you have inadvertently offended him, and you may even be helped by him? This made her feel unhappy and scared, after all, the active idol hurt people, if she poked it out, no matter how it was, it would be not a big news.

- What's more, now people are standing at the door, although he is now smiling, but who knows that he is not here to ask the teacher?

Just as he was hesitating and tangling, the young man suddenly opened his mouth again.

"I'm going to report to school in a while, and if the time isn't right today, I'll visit you another day. A little light gift, put it at the door first. ”

After that, he put down the paper bag in his hand, as if he was really leaving.

"School report..."Asuka Saito felt even more guilty when she heard it, even if she didn't do it, but she saw the slap print, she couldn't let her new neighbor come to neon on the first day, and go to school with a red mark, right?

- That's it, it's a big deal to be recognized, it's really not okay to buy it, just move again, pay off the favor first, and feel better.

Thinking like this, Asuka Saito pushed open the door, ignoring the dazzling sunlight, chased to the corridor, and shouted with his greatest strength to stop the young man who was going downstairs.

"Wait... Wait a minute! After calling the people, she was a little out of breath, so she lowered her head and held her knees, and did not dare to look up at the young man, but she heard the footsteps in front of her stop, and she mustered up the courage to say:

"I, I've got some concealer, help you cover it up, there." Asuka Saito straightened up and pointed to his right cheek, but he didn't think about looking up unconsciously, and met the young man's smiling gaze standing at the foot of several stairs.

"Woo - it's over, definitely recognized!" She groaned in her heart.

"Ah, then I'm sorry for you." The young man's gaze returned to the harmlessness of humans and animals at the beginning, making the little bird suspect that the cunning just now was just an illusion. "This is the mark left by the accident that hit the telephone pole yesterday, and I'm still thinking about what to do when I report for duty today." The young man's explanation that there was no silver three hundred taels here also made the little bird more convinced that he had committed a sin.

Hitting a telephone pole can hit five forks, which is also a skill. Asuka Saito complained in his heart. However, she doesn't hate this tacit cover-up and avoidance, which is very similar to her ostrich mentality.

At the very least, the other party has no malicious intent. In this way, it may be solved by just moving, and there is no need to go through the trouble of buying anything.

When the little abacus in the little bird's heart crackled, the young man named Qiu Yang spoke again.

"Let me introduce myself again, my name is Qiu Yang, may I ask who you are-"

- Eh???
