The brown-haired girl walked in front with a smiling black-haired girl, next to them a boyish girl holding a capybara doll, then behind the three of them were twin sisters with the same appearance but completely different temperaments, and finally at the end of this conspicuous line were a tall and a short blue-haired and black-haired teenager.

"Why do we mention this?"

Carrying a large and small shopping bag, I let out a long sigh at Okazaki, who was also carrying a lot of pockets beside me.

Originally, he was just going to take Hinano to play elsewhere after catching the crane machine, but Furukawa suggested that everyone play together, on the grounds that Okazaki said that "now the members of the drama club will be gathered". It would be rude to refuse.,And Hina seems to prefer to be with Furukawa rather than play with me.。

Sure enough, children like "sisters" more than "brothers".

"Don't care," Okazaki whispered, staring bitterly ahead, "... Damn, how could there be so much. ”

It's not like you're saying "I don't care."

"But why do girls become so good when they go shopping?" I should say that the atmosphere behind us was so oppressive that I tried to talk to Okazaki, "What's the use of buying so many things?" ”

"Who knows."

"I thought you knew."

"Huh? Why? ”

"Don't you stay in the girls' pile all day long?"

"Wait, wait, what did you misunderstand?!"

"Don't be shy, Haruhara told me, "Okazaki is on the rise in life right now," and Haruhara said that he ran out crying."

"Ah~ That kid in Haruhara, what knowledge did you instill in you..."

It's really rare that Okazaki, the iceberg face, would sigh because of these things, but what does the so-called "rising period" mean?

"But then again," as if trying to put the topic aside, Okazaki looked at Hinino, who was walking in front of him and was holding Furukawa, "You're really surprising us." ”

"What?"

"I actually started to take care of children, obviously you yourself are the most like children... Or students. ”

Halfway through speaking, Okazaki hurriedly covered his mouth as if he remembered something bad, paused and continued.

"So I didn't say I'm helping to take care of it, and someone will come to Hinano at night." Glancing at Okazaki, I asked him, "What's wrong with your mouth?" ”

"Don't care, I just accidentally bit my tongue."

"Haha~ Are you a child?"

Seemingly unhappy with my reaction, Okazaki turned his head and smacked his lips.

“… This stinky boy..."

Strange, how it feels as if hearing something.

"I said~ You two big boys go faster!" The team of girls walking in front stopped, Xing turned around and pointed at the two of us at a distance of a few meters and reprimanded, "It's total~ No!" ”

"How can you go fast with so much carrying!"

"That's right, Izumi is the only one left behind."

"I didn't fall behind... Okazaki, when are you going to run to the front! ”

"I've always been in front."

Lying, this guy is telling a big lie without changing his face! Because we weren't in a straight line just now... Ah~ I see! Did you speed up and walk to the front while I was retorting to Xing?!

"Hehe, Izumi-kun and Okazaki-kun have a really good relationship."

"Isn't it?"

"That's right, this guy is my servant."

"Who's that?!"

actually said the words of super underwhelming with a calm face, worthy of the 10,000-year-old iceberg face Okazaki.

"Hmm~ Sure enough, the relationship is very good, everyone says yes, right?"

Dismissal dismissal! I am completely against your words Furukawa!

"Boys' Friendship ~"

Hey, hey, starling, why are you moving to wipe your tears!

"Sure enough, you two boys have a good relationship, but don't want to do something bad for me."

Relationship is good! And Apricot, what's going on with your grandmother-like expression like "my grandson has finally made a good friend"?!

“… Pal! ”

… Although Kotomi paused to say this, what was your triumphant fist gesture for?

"Oh~ Izumi will get along well in the future."

…

"Ah Ye, why don't you keep your head down and don't speak?"

…

"Shy?"

…

"What, are you still shy about being your age?"

Shy of your size!

Damn, what's going on with this atmosphere?

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

The sky gradually turned yellow, and before I knew it, more than half of the time had passed.

"I'm so sorry to let everyone play with Hinata."

Unexpectedly, Hina had a lot of fun unexpectedly in the company of Furukawa, and the state was completely different from when I was together. How can I say that, although I am very grateful to everyone, how can I feel an indescribable sense of loss?

"You're really polite at this time."

"No, that's not a polite gesture." In terms of one thing, I will still thank you when I should say thank you, and more importantly, the protagonist today is not us, "I'm sorry, Kotomi." Originally, I was playing with you today, but it became you playing with us. ”

"I'm having fun today," shaking her head indifferently, Kotomi smiled as she looked at Hinino, who was lying on my back, "Hina is very cute." ”

"Hina will be happy to know that you say that."

"Hehe, Izumi-kun has always been so polite."

All the time? Maybe I wouldn't have done something wrong if I hadn't said that, but I've been in Japan for a while, but I'm still half-acquainted with the culture of a foreign country.

"I said you~ If you still have this attitude, it will be rude," nodded in agreement, and Xing said to me with the posture of an elder, "It seems to be very outward." ”

"Haha, apricot's lecture mode, you are really pitiful."

"I can't see that you're sympathizing with me at all."

Okazaki, you're actually very happy right now. If you want to show sympathy, at least show me the curvature of the corners of your mouth.

"That, let's be quiet, Sister Hinano is asleep."

Starling waved his hand at us, pointing to my sleeping niece who was lying on my back.

"Shhh~ Izumi whispered."

"You're supposed to be quiet."

"Hmm~"

Oh, and the little guy on his back reacted.

"I said you two stinky boys shut up!"

"Sister, your voice!"

"Hmm! … Excuse me. ”

Hurriedly covering her mouth, Apricot embarrassedly gestured to us with an apologetic gesture.

"It's all here, I'm going to go this way."

Coming to the fork in the road, I stopped and looked in the direction to the left.

"What are you talking about?" Okazaki turned around and pointed in the opposite direction and said, "This is the way back to the dormitory." ”

"I know, what do you mean by that expression?"

"You're not going to get lost, are you?"

Stinky boy, don't you know what to euphemistically say? Be subtle, give me a little subtlety!

"I made an appointment with the person who picked up Hinano to meet in the park over there," I explained, suppressing my dissatisfaction with Okazaki, "after all, it's impossible to bring Hinano back to the dormitory." ”

"Indeed, it's a boys' dormitory."

Apricot nodded in agreement.

"But I really want to see how Haruhara reacts when he sees Hinino."

Okazaki made a great suggestion.

"It's a bit curious."

But Haruhara's words shouldn't have any reaction.,After all, he likes beautiful women of the same age and older.,A little girl like Hina isn't in his liking, right?

"If you're going to do something bad to Hinino-sama," Okazaki and I said, Kyori rubbed her fists on both hands and said to us with a smile, "You know?" ”

"Apricot calm down! That's a joke! ”

"yes, how could we do such a thing!"

"Hmm... It's good that you two know. ”

Seeing Xing put down her fist with some regret, I felt a cold sweat break out on my back.

"Then, then we'll take our leave," as the saying goes, this place is not suitable for a long time, although I am sorry for Furukawa, but it is enough to have Okazaki alone in the apricot fist, "See you next time at school." ”

Nodding politely to everyone, I carried Hinano on my back and ran in the direction of the park.
