Chapter 12: The Weekend's Affair

It's a nightmare to think back to what happened last night. When I found my way back to the dormitory, it was around 9 o'clock, and when I walked through the dormitory door, I saw Miss Misae standing in the foyer with one hand on her waist and a broom. I was asked by Miss Misae to kneel in the foyer and stop for more than half an hour to educate me, such as the development of daily behavior, the safety of the surrounding environment, etc., in short, I felt that I was completely treated by Miss Misae as a child. By the way, the most terrifying thing is not Miss Misae's preaching, but the horror is that whenever someone passes by, they will look at me from time to time, and that look... I don't want to remember it until now.

Luckily, it's the weekend, and I'm so blessed that I can now take the sleep I didn't get from last night.

But as the saying goes, things don't go at their own pace, and just as they were sleeping soundly, the sound of Haruhara arguing with the rugby team came from outside the door.

"Ah~ Haruhara, what are you doing?"

When he walked out of the door yawning, he saw the spring plain that was stacked on the bottom by several muscular men like a stack of arhats.

"Izumi ~ You're awake!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Please, come and save me! Wait a minute, don't silently retreat to the roomβ€”β€”β€”β€” ahh!!h ”

I'm sorry, Haruhara. I really don't have the energy to play with you now, because ah, I'm super ~ sleepy now~

Falling back on the bed, I curled up in the quilt and fell asleep to the background of Haruhara's screams.

When I woke up, I realized that it was already noon when I looked at the alarm clock.

Hey~, I have no choice but to go out to eat.

After getting my meter straightened, I left the room. When passing by Haruhara's room, although I knocked on the door, I was going to ask him if he wanted to go out to eat together, as an apology for not saving him in the morning. But when I walked in, I saw a yellow mass lying on the bed in Haruhara, which felt a bit similar to Resident Evil. So, I walked out lightly and quietly, and gently closed the door as quietly as possible.

After eating something at a fast-food restaurant, I plan to take a walk on the street to help with digestion.

As I walked, I came to the door of Furukawa Bakery.

Well, I don't know if Furukawa's body is better, so let's go in and take a look.

"Welcome. Cut, what~ It turned out to be you. ”

As soon as I entered the store, I saw a bad uncle.

"Yes, excuse me."

Desperately admonishing himself to suppress the liver fire, don't get angry, don't get angry.

"Boy, what are you doing this time? Buying bread? ”

"Ah, I'm going to buy some bread." I walked up to my uncle and looked at him, "Is Furukawa's health better?" ”

"It's rare for you to come, but I'm sorry she's still lying down, so don't bother her." The uncle's face suddenly changed, and he looked at me with a very disgusted expression, "Let me explain first, she didn't call your name when she was talking in her sleep. ”

"I didn't ask you anything like that."

"It's the same thing to say, "Ah, I like my dad the most~ It's so handsome, it's a super match with a beautiful mother~", "Looking at the uncle in front of me with his hands around and releasing this little girl's voice, I looked at him with black lines on my face, and the uncle seemed to react to this is really disgusting, and immediately reacted and yelled at me, "Don't let me do such a cold thing!" ”

"You did it yourself!"

Just as my uncle and I were about to enter the battle mode, Aunt Sanae's voice came from inside the store.

"Ah~ Are you also here to visit Nagisa?"

"Yes, hello." I nodded politely, "I'm Izumi Scarlet Leaf who is in the same grade as Furukawa." Is she feeling better? ”

"No problem, just a little low-grade fever." Aunt Sanae looked into the room as if she remembered something, "However, Nagisa is a little weak, and she took a long break from school last year. So the doctor said to let her sleep for a day today, just in case. ”

"That's right, that's great, I thought Furukawa she..."

When I heard that Furukawa was okay, I was relieved.

"Anyway, thanks to you two boys for sending her back, nothing happened, thank you."

What do you say when you hear my uncle thank me? It feels really awkward.

"Oh no, I also have a certain responsibility... Yes? ”

Looking at the pocket that my uncle handed me, it contained a few loaves of bread.

"This is Sanae's bread, take it."

"Huh?!"

"Leave it alone, take it, it's a token of gratitude."

"What's so embarrassing," I pulled my wallet out of my pocket, "it's better to pay." ”

"You're welcome, I'm sure I'll sell the rest today anyway... Huh! ”

Although the uncle said these words very boldly, he stopped halfway through the sentence and looked behind him with a frightened expression... At this time, Aunt Sanae, who was standing in the back, was already looking at us with tears in her eyes.

"My bread, my bread... It turned out to be a burden at Furukawa Bakeryβ€”β€”β€”β€”"

Aunt Sanae covered her face and ran out of the store in front of us in an instant, crying as she ran.

"My favorite β€”β€”β€”β€”"

The uncle immediately took a few loaves of bread from the shelf and stuffed them in his mouth, and chased them out while shouting.

… Anyway, although it's the second time I've seen it, I think it's so visual every time~

Leaving Furukawa Bakery, I wandered around the street with the bread my uncle had given me.

When I walked to the shopping street, I accidentally saw an unexpected figure, especially the familiar purple hair, which made my heart tighten all of a sudden.

"Oops!" Using the danger instinct that all creatures hide, I recognized the person at a glance, took a few steps back, and then turned around to flee the scene.

"Hey, Izumi!" Just after turning around, I was tapped on the shoulder, "It's a coincidence to meet here~"

"Yo, hello, apricot." I smiled dryly and looked back at the smiling person standing behind me, "Well, can you please put your hand lightly?" ”

"Huh? Is it heavy? Xing slapped it hard as if she hadn't heard, "What were you going to do just now?" ”

Of course, it's hiding from you.

But I don't have the confidence to be alive after saying this in front of Xing. However, you obviously knew what I was going to do so hard to shoot me, right?

"It's just shopping~ After all, I've been here for a few days, and I'm going to get familiar with the surroundings, hahaha~"

"Yes, too. After all, you're a transfer student, so you're probably not familiar with this place yet. Apricot withdrew her hand and looked at me with a wicked smile as if she had thought of something, "Won't you get lost?" ”

"Don't worry," I triumphantly pulled a piece of paper out of my pocket, "and I'm wearing a map with me now." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"What are you doing, those sympathetic looks."

"Haha, it's nothing, please don't care."

"Don't change the subject for me, I care!"

Just as I was going crazy, there was the sound of starlings next to me.

"Sister, what are you doing here? Yes! Izumi, Izumi-kun..."

Starling walked over, and when she saw me standing in front of Apricot, she hid behind Apricot like a frightened hamster.

"Hello, starling." I waved at the starling, "There's no need to be so afraid of me, I won't eat you." ”

"That, that... I'm really sorry. ”

"Hey! You guy," Apricot grabbed me by the collar, "you don't bully my sister in front of me!" ”

"Does that mean bullying you behind your back? And ah, that eye of yours saw me bullying? ”

"Izumi, do you want me to choke you by the neck until you can't make a sound?"

Looking at the apricot emitting black gas in front of me, I swallowed my saliva unconsciously.

"Excuse me, I'm sorry, I'm too arrogant..."

"Good, just know."

Xing let go of her hand with satisfaction and looked at me with a teachable expression. But I'm not so comfortable, my neck hurts now because of the apricot pull. Starling also seemed to see my discomfort and looked at me a little worriedly.

"Quan-kun, are you alright?"

"Ah, no, nothing."

"Hmph~"

"What, your intriguing expression."

I looked at the apricot who was standing aside and touching his chin and looking at me and starling, to be honest, I felt that the apricot at this time was very flat, but only a fool would mess with the apricot, maybe it might be me who was cleaned up at that time.

"That sister, it's not like this!"

On the contrary, when the starling next to him saw Xing's expression, he immediately blushed like an apple, and explained something to Xing in a panic.

"Yes, yes, I know." Apricot smiled comforting her red-faced sister, and then looked at me with a sympathetic expression.

Hey, what? What does this expression mean?

"Hey! Spring. ”

At this time, Okazaki came over to greet me. When he saw the Fujibayashi sisters standing in front of me, he was surprised.

"Hi~ Xing and squad leader, I didn't expect to meet you here."

"Oh, it's you, Tomoya."

"Y-Hello, Okazaki-kun."

Okazaki's gaze kept exchanging between me and Apricot and Starling, and then he clapped his hands and looked at me with a look of sudden realization.

"Are you dating?"

"Not !!" Γ—3

It's rare that the three of us have a rare tacit understanding.

"I'm kidding." Okazaki was also frightened by our sudden outburst.

"I'm sorry, Apricot and Starling." I hooked Okazaki's neck and waved to them, "I asked Okazaki to leave a little beforehand, and I said goodbye." ”

Without waiting for their response, I dragged Okazaki out of here.

"Is there anything you want me to do?"

On the way back to the dormitory, Okazaki looked at me puzzled.

"Ah, well," I scratched my head a little embarrassed, "I'm not good at dealing with apricots." ”

"Huh?"

"Isn't it? Every time I meet Xing, she will clean up a meal.,So,For my own safety, I adopt a dodge strategy... Hey, don't pat me on the shoulder, I don't want this comforting atmosphere! ”

"It's not that I don't understand your thoughts," Okazaki withdrew his hand and nodded his head as if in agreement, "But, after a while, I think your understanding of Apricot will also change." ”

"What does that mean?"

"Who knows?" Okazaki looked at me, then shrugged at me and walked on.

"Hey, Okazaki! Wait for me! ”
