"Sister and Izumi-kun? Are you here so early? ”

"Xiaoxing, good afternoon, Quanjun."

Just as I was glaring at the apricot, the door was opened with a "poof".

"You're back," turning around, Apricot looked at Furukawa, "How's it going, have you gotten your things?" ”

"Well," Furukawa told us excitedly, holding up the violin case in his hand, "Nishina-san contacted the senior, and he agreed to give us the violin. ”

"Great, the gift has finally been delivered."

Watching the three girls chirping and talking, I couldn't help but interject.

"I say, is this what you plan to give Kotomi as a gift?"

"Yes, of course, to give a gift, you have to give the other person's favorite thing."

Apricot you can also say something serious... Of course, that's what I thought to myself.

"Isn't that great," I asked, looking at the box Furukawa was carrying, "By the way, what are you going to do with the violin next?" ”

"Nishina-san suggested that it would be better for us to send the violin for careful tuning," Starling replied happily, looking at me happily, "After all, this violin hasn't been used in a while." ”

"That's right," scratching my head, I remembered that I had seen a musical instrument shop in the shopping street before, "so are you going to go there next?" ”

"Hmm."

"Really?" Lifting the bag that I had put aside, I walked out the door, "Come on, everyone!" ”

I'd love to go to the musical instrument shop with Furukawa and Starling, but as a rule of thumb, as long as Apricot is present, I won't have an easy trip. So, before being dragged into the water by apricots, flash quickly to be smart people!

However, before the front foot could take half a step out of the door, someone grabbed the collar from behind and dragged him back into the house.

Don't think about it, among the three people and one pig left at the scene, the only suspect is her.

"Want to run? The boy stayed with me to play the violin! ”

That's how it ended.

———————————— Okazaki's perspective————————————

At noon, I finally pulled out half of the weeds in the yard, rested and went to the bank to get the money out, and then went to the nearby hardware store and flower shop to buy tools and seeds.

After all, what a bare yard looks like, and I also think that if the yard was full of flowers like when I was a child, maybe Kotomi would be more willing to come out.

Finally, I went to the bookstore to check how to grow flowers and plants, but the bookstore owner's eyes were very dazzling, so I bought books that basically looked quite useful, and after coming out of the bookstore, I went to a nearby coffee shop and ordered a cup of coffee, where I read the books I had just bought.

"Hmm~"

Stretching, I yawned.

Finally finished reading the book.

I looked at the time on my watch, and it was almost evening.

"That's all for today."

Closing the book and putting it back in my backpack, I noticed four people walking towards me from the opposite street.

Wearing our school uniform, it turned out to be a student of our school.

I squinted at the people who were getting closer and closer.

Speaking of which, I don't know what Furukawa is doing... Wait, why do you think these four people are a little familiar?

"Hey, everyone!"

"Okazaki-san?"

“… Yes! Oka and Okazaki-san?! ”

"What are you doing in a place like this?"

"How can it really be you!" I looked at the three girls a little angrily, "That's what I want to ask, right?" ”

"Something happened."

Apricot replied a little dejectedly.

"Well," I said, noticing Izumi walking slowly behind the apricots, "Izumi, why are you like this?" ”

"Alas~ something happened."

It looks like something has happened to you, and what's going on with those band-aids on your face? Did you get into a fight with someone?

I immediately shook my head and dismissed the idea.

Although this kid often goes to do stupid things with me and Haruhara, he has to admit that he is the most principled person, and he will never do anything to fight like a bad student as a model student, so the only thing he can think of is...

"Did someone beat you up?"

"Not really!"

can still refute with such vigor, it seems that there is no big problem.

"Actually," Izumi said, putting the violin case he was carrying on the table, sighed and handed it to me, "take a look." ”

"What's wrong... Wow~"

The hinges of the case had fallen off and fallen there, and the metal clips and screws were bent.

I opened the lid and gasped.

The violin had been broken in two, and the neck and gourd-shaped body that had been stretched were now completely separated, and the front side of the board was full of scratches and was worn into a mess.

"It's... What's going on? ”

"Actually, this was originally intended to be a gift for Kotomi," Furukawa said to me regretfully as he looked at the violin that had been broken like this, "but since it hasn't been used for a long time, we plan to take the violin to the instrument shop to adjust it." ”

"But while waiting for the red light, a motorcycle rushed from the opposite side, and my sister and Xiao Nagisa avoided it at that time, but I didn't react," Furukawa's words, Fujibayashi looked apologetically at Izumi with a wounded face on the side, "Izumi-kun rushed over to protect me and pulled me aside, but the violin case was thrown out, and the lid was opened in a shock." And the violin fell to the ground..."

As he spoke, Fuji Lin's voice became smaller and lower, and his head became lower and lower.

"Let's make it clear first, it's 100% the fault of the guy on the motorcycle," thinking of the scene just now, after looking at the broken violin on the table, Xing clenched his fists angrily, and said something terrible without changing his face, "If you can have an iron rod on hand, you must insert it into the wheel and stir him up, and then beat him with people and cars!" ”

"Xing, you can really say such terrible things," Izumi didn't seem to have learned from Xing's fist, and he was still not afraid of death, and he said directly, "And that's murder, right?!" ”

"Isn't running a red light an attempted murder? This is a well-deserved punishment. ”

"It's the first time I've known of such a terrible punishment, and I can't even imagine you having an iron pipe in your hand."

"Do you think it's better to do something at this time? The iron pipe is already considered merciful. ”

"No, the iron pipe is already considered the extreme."

Sure enough, no matter what time it is, the mix between Apricot and Izumi is always so exciting.

"Are you trying to speak for the attempt?!"

"How could it be," Quan shrugged his shoulders helplessly to admit defeat, and turned his head to join the team to comfort Furukawa and Fujilin, "But it's the other party's fault as Apricot said, so it's the most troublesome stupid person who rides a bicycle at a red light and hits people." ”

When I felt that Izumi said the latter sentence, his eyes intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Xing, who was angrily clenching his fist?

"And the wound on your face was also caused at that time?"

"Well, I fell to the ground and scratched when I pulled the starling away," noticing that Fujibayashi's head became even lower after he said this, Izumi hurriedly waved his hand to comfort her, "It doesn't hurt at all, really!" You see I'm completely fine! ”

It's worthy of you, and the rare scene where you can play handsome is also not chic.

"I'm sorry," did it change to Furukawa this time, "if we're a little more cautious... This wouldn't have happened..."

"You don't want to take any responsibility on yourself, it's almost time to cheer me up!"

It is worthy of the apricots who can shock the entire E class boys, and the words that just wrap their hands around their chests are full of momentum.

"Well, it's good that I didn't get hurt... Of course, Izumi you are the exception. ”

"yes, if something happens, it's not just a matter of gifts."

"Hey, even if it's a polite word, you two don't plan to care about me at all?"

Apricot cheered up the two, and Furukawa and Fujibayashi were a little energetic, but Izumi was a little dissatisfied and stood beside him and muttered.

"That's all it takes," I suggested to everyone, closing the lid on the box, "let's go to the musical instrument store." ”

"Hmm!"

Got a nod of approval from the audience.
