Thanks to everyone's efforts, we have basically finished repairing the courtyard, and now all that remains is the aftermath of cleaning.

However, the sky has darkened.

"Then let's go."

"You two, please don't push yourselves too hard."

Because of the distance from home, Apricot and Starling had to leave early.

"We know."

"Good night."

Okazaki and Furukawa followed behind and said goodbye with a smile.

As for me, I had to go back before the time because of the door rules in the dormitory, and I had to leave with the two of them.

"Aren't you two really going to go with us?"

Walking out of the yard with Apricot and Starling, I turned my head to look at Okazaki and Furukawa, who were still there.

"I'm going to wait a minute, you know there's only a little bit left."

Pointing to the tools that were still left in the yard and unpacked, Okazaki shrugged.

"Me too, my home is not far from here, I won't delay if I stay longer."

Furukawa also smiled and nodded.

"That's... Don't force you," I hesitated, and I suggested to him in a voice that only Okazaki could hear, "I'll help tomorrow." ”

"No need, if you ask for leave again, be careful that your worried homeroom teacher will give you a home visit," unceremoniously refused, Okazaki waved his hand and urged, "Hurry up, in such a slow way, be careful that Xing sees it and gives you a fist." ”

"Don't say such horrible things, I'll just go."

Sneaking a glance at the apricots who were waiting for me with the starlings not far away, I ran towards that side.

———————————— dividing line————————————

"What were you talking about with your friends just now?"

"That's a man's secret."

How can I tell the class leader to say, "I'm talking about whether or not to skip class tomorrow", and I'm not stupid, who is not afraid of death dares to say it directly?

"Hmm~ means it won't be a good thing, right?"

"Why do you say that?"

"Isn't the so-called 'secret' just a beautiful excuse to hide something unseemly?"

What a nasty but accurate explanation.

"It's not what you think," I hurriedly prevaricated under Xing's suspicious gaze, "It's not something unseemly. ”

"Then speak up."

After going around for a long time, don't you just want to hear what is going on?

"Sister, since it's inconvenient for Quanjun to say, it's better not to be reluctant."

Nice ~ Starling! I knew you were going to help me.

"Really? Since the starlings have said so, there is no way to do it. ”

Apricot sighed regretfully.

Whew~ It seems that Xing has finally given up.

I thought of this in my heart with a sigh of relief, but I turned my head and met Xingsi for a moment... Forehead! Wait a minute, what does this look mean?

"I'll ask you tomorrow."

Haven't you given up yet?!

"By the way, I actually have a question I want to ask."

"What?"

"You see, isn't Kotomi's birthday the day after tomorrow, but the violin's hasn't been repaired yet, so if that's a gift..."

"yes, it does."

Apricot's brows furrowed.

"But a gift that can make Kotomi happy, a violin, is the best choice."

Starling also lowered his head in annoyance.

"Hmm... Anyway, we'll figure out a way to do this, but what about you? ”

"That's done here."

"Good job."

"Of course."

Patting my chest, I smirked.

"You guys really don't deserve to be praised," shaking his head and sighing, Xing stretched out his hand and pointed in the other direction of the intersection, "Let's go this way, if you go back to the dormitory, just turn left at the intersection in front of you and go straight." ”

Walking to the intersection, Apricot stretched out and pointed in the other direction.

"Hey, I know the way back."

"Hmm~"

What's going on with this distrustful gaze?

"Quan-kun, it's not okay to be reluctant."

Woo, starling, your serious admonition hurt me even more.

"I'm not reluctant," I couldn't help but smile bitterly as I shook my head in denial, "It's you two, I'll take you to the station." ”

After all, it's still worrying to let girls walk at night so late.,After all, I've heard that Japanese idiots have a perversion that even elementary school students can do.。

"Don't worry, if he encounters danger, I will make him regret living in the world!"

Xing clenched her fists and stabbed a few punches forward.

… How do you feel that this speed is faster than usual?

"I see, then I'll stand here and watch you go far before you go."

Although I know that Apricot and Starling say this in order not to delay my time, as a man, I still have my own bottom line.

"Are you a worried mother?"

"Don't worry, Quan-kun, my sister and I have no problem."

"I'll do what I say, you guys should hurry home."

Shaking my head, I replied in the affirmative.

"Alas~ Starling, give up, this stupid guy is not an ordinary wood when he is stubborn," said something very excessive, Xing took Starling's hand and walked in the direction of home, "Then let's go, you should go home quickly." ”

"That, that, good night Izumi-kun."

Starling turned to me and nodded.

"Well, you guys should be safe, too."

Looking at the vine forest sisters who were walking farther and farther away, I retracted my gaze and scratched my hair to look in the direction of the apricot finger just now, and thought about it uncertainly.

Well... What Xing said just now was to turn left and go straight, right?
