Tetsuya Ayakoji also looked at his phone several times, but there was no email or text message.

But that's normal.

He packed up his desk and it was time for him to go to work at the coffee shop.

Greeted the bird Yurouka in the corridor, and Tetsuya Ayakoji walked all the way to the coffee shop.

To his surprise, Ichihara Maho actually arrived, and changed into work clothes early.

There was nothing unusual on his face, but he greeted every customer who walked in with a shallow smile.

Tetsuya Ayakoji didn't ask anything.

In his opinion, Ichihara Maho is a very assertive person, and if she really wants to say it, she will take the initiative to say it.

On this day, the conversation between the two is limited to the necessary conversation in the workplace.

When he was about to get off work, Tetsuya Ayakoji asked the store manager why Ichihara Maho came earlier than usual today.

"Maho-chan extended her part-time job by an hour." The store manager explained, "I heard that I wanted to buy a gift. ”

As he spoke, the store manager glanced at Tetsuya Ayakoji a few times with a playful look.

Hehehe......

Tetsuya Ayakoji smiled awkwardly.

Anyway, the object wouldn't be him, otherwise Ichihara Maho wouldn't even be so calm about the content on the logo.

As for the extension of part-time jobs, Ayakoji Tetsu also did not comment.

The private Qingcheng High School does not have strict restrictions on the number of hours it can work per week, so as long as it is not inadvertently caught by the student union, there will be no problem.

On Sunday, Ichihara Maho still came an hour earlier than Tetsuya Ayakoji.

During a break in between, Ichihara Maho handed the notebook to Tetsuya Ayakoji.

"I've already copied it in the past two days, Ayakoji-kun, can you help me transfer this to Kasumigaoka Shiyu?"

Tetsuya Ayakoji pressed his fingers against the notebook and asked suspiciously, "Senior Sister Ichihara, why don't you transfer it to Senior Sister Kasumigaoka yourself?" ”

Ichihara Maho's eyes flickered.

said, "I'm not very good at dealing with Kasumigaoka Shiha. ”

“……”

Okay.

It's a reason that's hard to refute.

Ayakoji Tetsu also temporarily put the notebook in his closet and said, "I'll give it to Kasumigaoka-senpai during my lunch break tomorrow." ”

Ichihara Maho breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Ayakoji-kun." ”

She was really afraid that Ayakoji Tetsuya wanted to correct the relationship between him and Kasumigaoka Shiyu.

Just like what she said to Kasumigaoka Shiyu on the rooftop that day, she really didn't feel anything for Kasumigaoka Shiyu.

The two of them are people from different worlds.

Since there are clear boundaries, it is enough to separate them, not to mention, these will soon become memories.

The next day, Tetsu Ayakoji also returned the notebook to Kasumigaoka Shiyu.

But unexpectedly, Ichihara Maho still didn't come to class.

"I've already gone back to work, why don't you come to class?"

It's completely confusing.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu guessed: "Could it be that she wants to drop out of school?" ”

After all, if something happens at home, it may be due to economic or other problems, and you have to make such a choice.

Isn't there the kind of difficult choice where only one of the older sister and younger brother can continue to go to school?

With the personality of Ichihara Maho, I will definitely give up the opportunity to Ichihara Naomasa.

But the crux of the matter is that Naomasa Ichihara did not come to school either.

So, after finishing the self-study after school, Kasumigaoka Shiyu followed Tetsuya Ayakoji to the vanilla coffee shop.

She decided to ask for herself.

The location was in a small alley on the side of the coffee shop.

When Kasumigaoka Shiyu asked her own question, Ichihara Maho suddenly laughed.

"No, Kasumigaoka Shiyu, your imagination is too rich."

“……”

Kasumigaoka Shiyu secretly gritted her teeth.

She didn't plan to show weakness in front of Ichihara Maho.

On the side of his body, he hummed softly: "If you don't have a rich imagination, you can't become the author of a novel." ”

Ichihara Maho nodded again and again: "That's right, but the author of a novel that doesn't have a best-selling work can't be called a beginner." ”

"Time will tell!"

Kasumigaoka Shiha's enthusiasm is burning.

Ichihara Maho's words didn't hit her at all, but if it had been a few months ago, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been like this.

The corners of Kasumigaoka's mouth curled into a smile.

Ichihara was stunned.

Actually, that's not bad.

She could do it alone.

Ichihara said, "Since you said so, I'll take a good look over there." ”

Over there?

Kasumigaoka Shiha finds herself hearing a not-so-good word.

"You won't be unable to think about it, I'll tell you......"

As a person who has come over, she decided to persuade Ichihara Maho.

It's not time to despair yet!

Ichihara laughed again.

"That's why I said your imagination is too rich."

Kasumigaoka's face darkened.

This guy is much more difficult to deal with than the thin-skinned Ying Lili.

Ichihara explained: "It's a transfer, a transfer, how did you think of that kind of thing." ”

"Huh?" Kasumigaoka Shiyu said, "What are you going to do when you're in the third grade?" ”

Ichihara Maho said helplessly: "After moving, my new home is too far away from the school, and I am going to transfer to a closer school." And I don't have any friends anymore anyway, so the transfer doesn't have any effect. I've already decided that if I can't get into the school I want to go to in the entrance exam, I'll be a ronin for a year, and maybe I can go to college with Naozheng at that time. ”

Kasumigaoka Shiyu opened her mouth slightly.

She was speechless for a moment.

Is this really the Ichihara Maho she once knew?

Did that bright smile really appear on Ichihara Maho's face?

Kasumigaoka Shiyu felt a little illusory.

This may not be reality, but some long dream.

That sentence that there are no friends also made Kasumigaoka Shiyu feel deeply.

She knew that Ichihara had cut ties with her previous friends, but she hadn't made any new friends.

To be precise, her current situation is no different from being in cold violence.

For her, a transfer might have been a better outcome.

It's going to be like this......

Kasumigaoka Shiwa subconsciously looked at the coffee shop next to her.

Ichihara Maho said: "Kasumigaoka-san, I don't have to meet with someone like me in the future, it's really gratifying." ”

"You ......"

wanted to hit back a few words with harsh words, but when it came to the end, Kasumigaoka Shiyu gave up again.

The absence of a potential competitor should have been a joyful thing, but Kasumigaoka Shiyu suddenly felt empty in her heart.

It's an anomaly.

Kasumigaoka Shiwa pressed her chest.

"All in all, it's something to be happy about. Also, although reluctantly, I still have to say......" Ichihara Maho hesitated for a moment, "Thank you for lending me the math notebook." ”

Kasumigaoka Shiyu replied, "It's not a big deal. ”

Ichihara said with a smile: "Now that you are clear, I'll go back to work first." ”

With that, Ichihara Maho turned around and entered the coffee shop.
