That's a real problem.

Looking at those two eyes full of various emotions, Ayakoji Tetsuya's head was a little big.

Of course, he knew Kasumigaoka's faint resistance.

"Okay."

Tetsuya Ayakoji nodded.

A smile bloomed on Ichihara's face, and she took a slight step back, leaving enough distance between her and Tetsuya Ayakoji.

Keep the distance at about one meter.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu remembered what she had seen in the book-

The American anthropologist Edward Hall once roughly divided individual space needs into four types: public distance, social distance, personal distance, and intimate distance.

Among them, the range of personal distance is between 40 cm and 120 cm, which is the distance within reach.

This is a realm that acquaintances and strangers alike can break into.

The difference is only that the position of acquaintances is closer to the lower limit of 40 centimeters, as long as you don't overdo it and bravely stretch out your hand, you can hold it together.

Strangers, or people who only know each other, will stand closer to the upper limit of 120 centimeters.

And just now Ichihara Maho took the initiative to take a step back......

Probably because I didn't want her to have too many misunderstandings.

Kasumigaoka Shiha didn't know if it was a retreat tactic, but at least she didn't resent Ichihara Maho right now.

Let them go.

She thought to herself.

Kasumigaoka Shiwa stood at the top of the ramp, leaning against the pillar next to her, watching the orange-red sunset stain the ramp.

In the cottage opposite, the window panes reflected the red of the setting sun, and the light of broken gold was scorching.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu subconsciously avoided her gaze and watched the two figures gradually walk away, but the shadow she shed was still in front of her.

Ichihara Maho didn't try to get close to Tetsuya Ayakoji.

Even when she was halfway downhill, she didn't say a word.

Just when Tetsuya Ayakoji thought that she was going to be silent like this to the end, the voice of Ichihara Maho suddenly sounded in his ears.

"If you get here, Kasumigaoka Shiyu shouldn't be able to hear us clearly."

Tetsuya Ayakoji turned his head and noticed that Ichihara had a narrow smile on his face.

Sure enough, it's not another confession of this kind of unfolding.

Ichihara raised his head and looked up at the sky, the clouds in the sky like the marshmallows dyed red in his memory.

The girl slowly raised her right hand.

Suddenly, he said something a little inexplicable.

"Tomorrow will still be sunny."

"Hmm."

Ayakoji Tetsu also nodded.

He knew that Ichihara Maho was happy, but even with the assistance of the system, it was difficult to figure out why she was happy.

"There will definitely be fewer meetings in the future, and there may be no meeting." Ichihara Maho lowered his head and sighed.

Tetsuya Ayakoji said, "It's all in Tokyo, and if you want to meet, you can meet at any time on the weekend." ”

"That's not going to work......" Ichihara Maho quickly retracted the depressed face just now, "I want to study hard, Ayakoji-kun, you also have to work hard to be admitted to Tokyo University." Ayakoji-kun, you said such a bold statement in front of many teachers, wouldn't it be too embarrassing if you couldn't get into Tokyo University at that time. ”

Tetsuya Ayakoji followed Ichihara Maho's words: "You can still meet when you go to college." ”

"That's why I said that I might not be able to meet, Ayakoji-kun's goal is Todai, but I don't necessarily want to stay in Tokyo to go to university."

Ichihara Maho suddenly shook two punches into the air very boyishly.

There is a sense of relief in my body that I have been unshackled.

"Neon isn't that big, even in Hokkaido and Kyushu......"

Ichihara Maho interrupted Tetsuya Ayakoji: "What if it's a foreign country, the United States?" United Kingdom? ”

“……”

Tetsuya Ayakoji stared at Ichihara Maho.

I think you're deliberately trying to make things difficult for me!

Ichihara Maho laughed, she clutched her stomach: "Ayakoji-kun, you can spare me." For Kasumigaoka's sake, you won't do that. ”

"Not necessarily ......"

"Alright."

Ichihara Maho interrupted Tetsuya Ayakoji again.

"I can see it, Ayakoji-kun, you actually care a lot about what Kasumigaoka Shiyu thinks of you, right?"

Ichihara Maho's calm eyes made Tetsuya Ayakoji smell a familiar smell.

That's the look he has when he borrows the help of the system in the coffee shop and talks to those customers.

Ichihara Maho said: "Ayakoji-kun, don't deny it, when I invited you to walk this road with me just now, your eyes fell on Kasumigaoka Shiyu for the first time. ”

"Also, at the beginning, when the relationship between you and Kasumigaoka Shiyu was not so good, Ayakoji-kun, you could still come to my house alone, but after that, the two of you came together every time."

"Also, during the last sports festival, the prop for the borrowing race was a headband, and the first thing that came to Ayakoji-kun's mind was Kasumigaoka Shiyu."

"And, most importantly, the outline of Kasumigaoka Shiyu's new book was also written by you for her."

Before I knew it, I had reached the intersection, but Ichihara Maho didn't let go of Tetsuya Ayakoji.

She was waiting for the red light at the intersection to turn green, but she wasn't idle.

"To be honest, I'm envious of Kasumigaoka Shiyu...... But ......"

Before Tetsuya Ayakoji could speak, Ichihara Maho continued: "Ayakoji-kun, you don't have to worry, after hugging you that night, I decided that I won't cause you any more trouble in the future-although it still adds a lot of trouble. ”

Ichihara smiled playfully.

"Fortunately, that's the end of it, when the red light is over, let's separate here."

The red light on the opposite side is particularly glaring.

Tetsuya Ayakoji had mixed feelings in her heart.

His lips moved, and finally he forced a smile.

This smile, with the embellishment of the sunset, is bright enough.

"Well, Ichihara-senpai, let's separate here."

Ichihara Maho hurriedly said: "Hey, hey, don't make it look like a lover broke up, it will make me think more." ”

"It's not like it at all, it's Senior Sister Ichihara, you think too much."

"Probably because I have a lot of imagination, I think I also have the potential to be a novelist."

"You can try."

"But I'm not free now, I'll talk about it later."

Ichihara Maho gently kicked the ground.

Slowly, the red light turned into a green light.

Tetsuya Ayakoji found out that the green light was just as dazzling.

"That's right......" Ichihara Maho suddenly turned around, "Although Ayakoji-kun said that he didn't want to fall in love during high school, if he kept hiding it, he might miss it forever." ”

After she said this, she didn't give Tetsuya Ayakoji time to react, and trotted all the way across the road.

A passing truck stopped Tetsuya Ayakoji's gaze, and at this time, Ichihara Maho raised his head and wiped his eyes with his hand.

Wipe away the clouds and rain, tomorrow will still be sunny.

Finally, around the corner, Ichihara Maho beckoned to Kasumigaoka Shiha at the top of the ramp with the same smile as the clouds in the sky.

This time I lost to you again, and sure enough, you still hate it as always.
