"That, Mr. Hiratsuka, it's rare that everyone has gathered, how about you come together......

"I'm sorry, I have something to do, next time."

"Eh, eh- don't say that, Hiratsuka-sensei, it's not ...... today."

"Tsk, it's noisy! Old man, they all say that something is wrong with me! ”

"Bah——?! Okay, okay, I got it....... That, Hiratsuka-sensei, excuse me......"

"Hey, it's all troublesome......"

After hanging up the phone in his hand and complaining in his heart again about the bald head of education several times, Hiratsuka put away the bored expression on his face for the time being, and continued to rush along the corridor in the direction of the Ministry of Service.

Shizuka Hiratsuka, who refused the teacher's business trip and rushed back from Tokyo in a hurry, walked into the complex as soon as he could say hello to the teacher who had just gotten off work.

Obviously, there is still some time before sunset, but the corridor on the third floor has a somewhat dark atmosphere, although it is because of the direction of the sun's rays, but ......

Hopefully I'm thinking too much......

With inexplicable anxiety, Hiratsuka Shizuka pressed the doorknob of the service department, and opened it without knocking on the door as always.

No one......? No......

"Ah, Xiaojing, I haven't seen you for a long time."

“...... Yangnai? ”

Unexpectedly looking at the student who was leaning against the window and greeting him with a smile on his face, Hiratsuka Jing frowned and walked into the ministry department, and after looking left and right, he asked:

"Why are the graduates here?"

"Hey, isn't Xiao Jing welcome?"

"You guy, school rules or something are just a piece of waste paper to you, aren't they?"

Still with his frivolous personality, Yono gently stepped forward a few steps, narrowing the distance between Shizune and Shizuna, and by the way, directly ignored the other party's distressed expression.

"Hehe, didn't I suddenly want to be quiet?"

"Really, you're still the same......"

Glaring at Yono gently, Hiratsuka looked a little helpless as she held her forehead.

"So, you came here to this kind of place, what do you want to do this time?"

"I should have asked Xiao Jing about this, right?"

Putting away his playful expression little by little, Yono's speech suddenly slowed down.

"Isn't Xiaojing on a business trip? It stands to reason that he will not be back until tomorrow, right? ”

"Huh? Where did you know that, it's pretty well-informed? ”

"Haha, yes, I've been very well informed."

Like a child who is excited to be complimented, Yono's face suddenly flushes abnormally.

"So, as a bonus, can you tell me why Xiao Jing came back so early?"

"Bonus ......"

As if speechless about Yono's out-of-the-box thinking circuit, Hiratsuka sighed and said casually:

"It's nothing, it's just that the original event has been canceled, and the return schedule is just a day earlier."

"Hmm-that's the case, then it's really congratulations to Xiao Jing, you don't have to go to socialize with those annoying 'seniors'."

Listening to Yono's speech, Hiratsuka Jing did not have a reaction like "what nonsense are you talking about", but nodded in agreement:

"Indeed, it saved me a lot of trouble."

"Hahaha, Xiao Jing is really honest......"

Yono covered his mouth and smiled, and at this time, the wind blowing outside the window stirred up the long curtain, and the cold wind swept away Yono's laughter and the warmth that had just risen in the department.

After a while, the wind stopped, the blown bangs froze in front of her forehead, and Yono's smile seemed to be frozen and had never changed, but there was no trace of warmth in her eyes.

"Now, Xiaojing, there is almost a limit to lying or something, right?"

Bending his big eyes, Yono's voice suddenly became softer, like an uncontrollable wind, enveloping Hiratsuka's whole body.

"You're here to find Luo Jun, right?"

“......”

Hearing this, Hiratsuka was silent and did not answer, but her pupils contracted for a moment, and Yono captured this very well.

"Did I guess right?"

Faced with this tone, which was like begging for candy on Halloween, Hiratsuka just shrugged.

"Who knows, it's very strange, Yang Nai, what are you talking about, I don't understand."

"Haha, don't pretend, Xiao Jing, the reaction just now has all been exposed, all ~part~"

“......”

There was another silence, and Hiratsuka, who had lost the initiative, could only passively accept Yono's "pursuit".

"Na, Xiaojing, don't you want to ask me something? Like why am I waiting here? Why did I know that Xiao Jing came specifically to find Luo Jun or something? Don't ask? Don't ask? ”

Yono's appearance was very excited, as if she was watching everything start to be released according to her director's script, and a strange satisfaction filled her heart.

"Allah? Xiao Jing doesn't speak, so there is no way to continue the conversation? It's really bothering. ”

As if she was really distressed by this, Yono pouted and frowned, but it was very open, and she smiled again and began to ask herself questions.

"Forget it, if Xiao Jing doesn't speak, I'll talk about it."

Blinking his big playful eyes, Yono leaned down slightly, looked at Hiratsuka Jing and asked:

"Na, Xiaojing, do you remember? I was still in the time when I was in Zongwu High School. ”

Regarding Yang Nai's abrupt question, Hiratsuka Jing didn't show any surprise, but replied lightly:

"Of course I remember this kind of thing, for me, it happened not so long ago."

"Hehe, it's still nice to hear such an answer, then, Xiaojing, do you remember ......?"

"I don't have time to play memory games with you, Yono."

Directly interrupting Yono's speech, Hiratsuka glanced at her faintly and turned around without hesitation.

"There's something else going on, let's wait until next time if we talk about it."

After that, Hiratsuka Jing was about to go out, but Yang Nai didn't mean to be in a hurry, she just played with the ends of her hair and said unhurriedly:

"Even if you go out now, you will never find Luo Jun, Xiao Jing."

“......”

Hiratsuka's footsteps paused, only to hear Yang Nai say slowly:

"If it were me, I would know where Luo Jun was, but in exchange for letting me speak, Xiao Jing, how about satisfying my curiosity a little?"

Looking at the silent Hiratsuka Jing, the smile on Yono's face deepened, she was not worried that the other party would refuse at all, because with her understanding of Hiratsuka Jing, although the other party would never admit anything, as long as the other party stopped, it meant to listen.

"Why does Xiao Jing always care so much about Luo Jun? I'm curious. ”

For such a question that can be answered or not answered like jealousy, Hiratsuka just smiled.

"That's because he's a problem student, isn't it? In his own words, this is, special? ”

"Is that really the case?"

Raising his eyebrows, Hiratsuka said lightly:

"Is there any other reason needed? I'm a teacher, he's a student, that's all. ”

"So, really, is that so?"

Repeating his question again, Yono looked directly into Hiratsuka's eyes.

"Isn't there anything special?"

"Tsk......"

Yono's aggressive attitude finally made Hiratsuka realize that something was wrong, and in her heart, an absurd sense of crisis began to rise.

"Yono, what the hell do you want to ask?"

"Hehe, it's actually not a strange thing, I'll just say it, is there any special relationship between Xiao Jing and Luo Jun?"

"It's all ......"

"No, that's not what I'm talking about."

Stretching out his hand to stop Shizune Hiratsuka, who was about to speak, Yono then asked:

"I mean something a little closer, like, blood or something?"

“......”
