The sky had begun to turn yellow, and it was surrounded by a layer of orange.

After a casual stroll around the shopping street, Haruhara and I walked back to the park.

As a meeting at the beginning and a respectful at the end, the park is a great place to be.

Thinking that today's dating is finally coming to an end, my smile must be very bright now.

"It's not early."

"What are you talking about, Yezi, the date has only started now!" Haruhara's look of interest, "Let's go see the night view." ”

… This guy still wants to go shopping.

"Night, night view? That's it..."

"What's wrong?"

"Isn't it too late?"

"No, no?"

Hearing me say this, Haruhara lowered his eyelids in disappointment like a puppy.

"If only for a short time..."

"Yay————!"

Looking at the way Haruhara jumped, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

… I'm so soft-hearted.

So, the date will be over in a while.

But as soon as he took a few steps, Haruhara, as if he had noticed something, stopped.

I've been staring at something.

"What's wrong?"

I walked over to Haruhara and asked him.

Haruhara didn't say a word, just frowned tightly.

I also looked in the direction of his gaze.

Inside the park, the laughter of children can be heard.

Around the lower grades of elementary school, the boys stood in a circle, and among them was a girl who looked younger than them, covering her eyes with her hands and crying.

Alas, a typical scene of bullying.

And it's a typical scene of a boy bullying a girl.

Seeing that Haruhara's way of doing this, he was going to go up and stop it.

In that case, for me, who can show up less and show up less, it's best to stand by and watch him perform.

Thinking like this, I secretly looked at Haruhara to see what he would do next.

"Then Yezi, let's go."

A bright voice rang out.

"Huh? Yang Pingjun... But over there..."

Because of this unexpected answer, I looked at him with wide eyes and disbelief.

"It's okay to leave that kind of thing alone," Haruhara said in a boring tone, "As the saying goes, children fight and fight big." ”

There's no such saying, and it doesn't look like a fight, or a few boys surrounding a girl can't be called a fight at all.

"If you don't hurry up, you won't have time."

Seeing that I was standing still and not moving, Chunyuan took my hand impatiently and walked forward.

Just as I was talking about this, there was a "wow" from there.

Probably after being beaten, the girl cried loudly.

"Yang Pingjun, please wait a minute."

Letting go of Haruhara's hand, I ran towards the park.

Although I don't know why Haruhura is uncharacteristically reluctant to take care of this matter, I still can't stand it.

"Hey! A few of you! When I approached the children, I yelled at them, "You can't bully girls!" ”

"Wow————!"

Because of my roar, the girls were screaming and running away.

These little ghosts, if you see them next time, you have to teach them a good lesson.

Thinking indignantly, I crouched down and touched the head of the little girl who was crying.

"Bad boy... Ahem, my sister has already driven them away, can you tell my sister what is your name? ”

"Woo-ah-ah..."

"Where's Mom?"

"Woo-ah-ah..."

But the answer was still a cry.

Well, it's not the way to keep crying like this.

“… That's why I hate children. ”

Haruhara, who came over reluctantly, muttered quietly.

"Eh, Yang Ping-kun, what are you talking about?"

"No, it's nothing," shook his head, and Haruhara, too, crouched down in front of the little girl, "Do you know the way home?" ”

But I don't know if it was his inquiring appearance that scared the little girl, she hid beside me and clung to me.

"Little sister, do you know the way home?"

After seeing the girl shake her head, a wry smile appeared on the corner of my mouth.

It looks like I came out to play but got lost, and now my family is probably worried, ah! This is...

"There's a nameplate on the clothes, can I show it to my sister?"

"Hmm."

After getting the girl's consent, I picked up the sign hanging on the clothes and looked at it carefully, turned it open, and found that there was a good address written on the back.

"Yohei-kun, do you know where the 2-chome No. 11 is?"

"I know what to say there, but I'll have to take a cut of road."

"Great, I'll see my mother right away," I smiled at the little girl, I stood up and took her hand, and then proposed to Haruhara, "Yohei-kun, let's send her home." ”

"If you say so, Leaf..."

Although he looked reluctant, Haruhara's head nodded in agreement.

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

When it was almost dark, we found the little girl's home.

The little girl's mother held the little girl and cried bitterly, while her father saluted over and over again with tears in his eyes.

Laughing and waving his hand to say it didn't matter, we said goodbye to the family.

On the way back, I feel a sense of fulfillment, and I feel satisfied when I help others.

I think so, but I'm not sure if I'm the only one who thinks so.

"Yang Pingjun is really sorry for letting you accompany me so late..."Looking at Haruhara who was pouting his cheeks, I apologized to him apologetically, "That... I didn't see the night view either. ”

“… Forget it, that's not bad anyway. ”

Glancing to the side, Haruhara's depressed whisper.

"Are you angry?"

"It's not that I'm angry, it's just a date that was hard to make~"

Even if he wasn't angry like this, he was definitely quite disappointed.

Also, after all, since the end of the date that I had been preparing for a week is like this, the attitude of ordinary people is almost the same.

"I'm glad that happened today."

Stopping, I said slowly.

"Yang Pingjun is also this attitude because he doesn't want to disturb our date, right? But in the end you were willing to help that child, and I was very happy. ”

"What are you talking about? I—I'm just..."

Don't look too embarrassed, Haruhara's face turned a little red.

"In the face of other people's affairs, even if they are unhappy, they are still willing to help, and help to the end, I think this is just not frank, but this person's heart must be kind."

I stared earnestly into Haruhara's eyes and made such a summary.

“…”

With his mouth half-open, Haruhara stared at me as if he had seen something terrible.

For a long time, he said.

"Ye, Yezi, can I still meet you next time?"

His cheeks flushed, as if he was trying to squeeze out the last of his strength.

“… If there's still a chance. ”

Originally, I wanted to answer "no", but it seemed that he couldn't say how happy he was, so he had to change to a vague answer.

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

After separating from Haruhara, I went straight to join my brother.

In the car, he changed his clothes back into his original men's clothes, and walked out of the car while wiping the makeup on his face.

"It's a pity, I wanted to see more."

What I saw was my brother who was waiting outside with his hands in the environment.

"yes, it's a good fit."

And Okazaki, who didn't know why he came here.

"That's all for jokes," glaring at the two of them, I looked at Okazaki, "By the way, aren't you with Furukawa and Mei?" ”

"I let the two of them go home first, after all, Mei is staying at Nagisa's house now."

"That's true," Turning my gaze to my brother, I noticed that there were a lot of people missing, "What about Apricot and Starling and Kotomi?" ”

"Of course, I let them go home before dark," waving his finger at me, my brother smiled proudly with a look of "You're still tender", "Xiaoye, you're really slow, you can't let the girls stay outside at such a late hour." ”

"Ah~ It's true... Feed! Who's sluggish! ”

I'm not sluggish, I'm just not reacting yet.

"So, why don't you go home Okazaki? Why did you come to be with my brother? ”

I don't know if it's my delusion, but when I first mentioned the word "homecoming", I felt that Okazaki's expression was gloomy for a moment, but it was only for a moment, and when I noticed it again, his expression was the same as usual, and there was no change.

"Because Brother Poplar said that he wanted to have a treat, it just so happened that I was hungry too."

Okazaki shrugged and said in a relaxed tone.

"A treat? Brother you? ”

"Hey, what's going on with this disbelieving look?"

"No, I just think that my brother shouldn't want to treat you for no reason."

"Don't be so vigilant, the main thing is that I'm hungry too," seeing through what I was wondering about, my brother waved his hand with a wry smile, "And this should also be a compliment to Xiao Ye for your performance today." ”

As he spoke, he put his hand on Okazaki's shoulder.

"Let's go to the boys' celebration party!"

You just want to eat, right?

"Forget it, brother, if you want to have a treat, I don't have a problem," I sighed, and I put the towel back in the car, "So what are you going to invite?" ”

"Ramen!"

Woo, that's stingy.
