Qingming is busy.

Although he ostensibly lives a leisurely life drinking coffee and reading books, he is indeed very busy.

This manifests itself mentally.

I've been thinking about it, and I've never stopped studying Taoism.

He had always been dissatisfied with the world he was in, so after having the hope that he might travel to another world, he naturally tried very hard to grasp that hope.

It's not easy.

Qingming knew this well, so he redoubled his efforts and devoted more energy to the study of this Dao technique.

But it didn't do much use.

Maybe it's because of his lack of strength, or maybe it's because he doesn't have enough comprehension, and the progress is not going well.

Time passed quietly.

I don't know when it started, but the temperature started to drop again and it became colder.

The weather in this world is always so capricious.

Night.

The cold wind blew incessantly.

Open the window, white curtains flutter gently.

Qingming temporarily put aside all mental activity and stood by the window, blowing a cold breeze to calm himself down.

He really needs to be calm.

This is true not only now, but most of the time, otherwise sometimes you are hot-headed and don't know what kind of things you will do.

It won't be a good thing anyway.

"Alas......"

A soft sigh.

I wanted to talk to someone, but I found that there was no one around me to talk to.

"Sure enough, I'm not in good shape with this world!"

……

The temperature has dropped.

People also wore a few more clothes, only Qingming still didn't change.

Morning.

After enjoying a delicious breakfast, Gray Yuan went to school and Qingming went to the coffee shop, and there was still no intersection between the two people.

I don't know who is hanging whom.

But this doesn't seem to matter, after all, the relationship between the two people is not good from beginning to end, it is better to say that Gray Yuan Ai did not make some poison and put it in the tea and coffee that Qingming drank, which is already very good.

Perhaps, killing Qingming can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people?

Possibly.

But whether he can be killed or not is a matter of two words.

At least it's not very possible to poison him, at least ordinary poison can't do it, you have to cooperate with something unscientific.

I guess the witch can figure it out.

However, Koizumi Hongzi and Qingming can be regarded as a cooperative relationship, Qingming obtained a lot of information from her, and at the same time gave her a lot of information, which can be regarded as taking what they need.

Of course, where there should be a competition in secret, there will still be a continuous competition.

For Qingming, fighting with Koizumi Hongzi can be regarded as an act that is truly in line with his identity as a Taoist.

Maybe you should find a Taoist temple to cultivate?

Qingming pondered.

Although this is not a consideration at all.

It's true that he likes to be quiet, but if it's too quiet, he doesn't like it, after all, humans are social creatures, and it's not okay to be out of the crowd for too long.

And he still wants to watch the play, although he doesn't seem to have paid much attention to it from the beginning.

That's not to say.

Coffee shop, outside the door.

Qingming, who came here, happened to meet Xiaolan who was rushing to school.

Say hello.

Recently, Xiaolan seems to have given up her plan to let him go to school honestly, and rarely mentions this matter again.

But I did mention it today.

"By the way, Qingming, there is a transfer student in our class, do you want to get to know him?"

"There's no need."

Without hesitation, answer directly.

In this regard, Xiaolan could only show a helpless expression.

"Okay."

She knew it was going to be like this.

Qingming doesn't seem to like to make friends, and when he goes to school once in a while, he only talks to her, Sonoko Suzuki, and Naoko Takei, and doesn't care about other people.

"I'm going to school, I'll see you later."

smiled.

I didn't say much else, and walked towards the school by myself.

Qingming entered the store.

"Good morning, shopkeeper."

A new day began again with a greeting from Azusa Enomoto.

……

Afternoon.

School hours.

There are no customers in the shop, perhaps because the temperature suddenly drops and people don't want to go out, so the café is deserted today.

Ayumi is here.

There is also Gray Hara's Wai, who seems to have not been to the coffee shop for a long time, and this time with Ayumi.

"Ernie sauce, Ernie sauce."

Ayumi hasn't changed much, and she still likes to stick to Qingqing.

The whole person climbed into Qingming's arms, sat on his legs, and faced him.

Still wearing a skirt.

If you think about it, it seems that neon students, no matter whether the weather is hot or cold, the clothes they wear are almost the same, although there are also differences between winter and summer clothes, but the skirts never seem to change.

But that's fine, anyway, Qingming likes it.

Ignoring the gray plain who walked alone to the window, he put down the book and touched the little girl's head with a smile.

Then lift her skirt.

"Have you forgotten to wear fat (beep~) times today?"

"I hate it, so I won't forget it!"

"Really?"

"Humph!"

The little girl pouted, looking unhappy.

A pair of small hands hurriedly pressed down the skirt that was lifted by Qingming, and after waiting for a long time with Gray Yuan, she seemed to have more and more awareness of the defense of men and women.

That's a good thing, too.

Sometimes even Kiyoshi is a little worried, if Ayumi has been unguarded against him, will he really do something bad.

Ayumi is not Gray Hara, she is a real, seven-year-old girl.

Probably not, though.

Although it is true that there are some not-so-good actions occasionally, for Ayumi, Kiyoshi doesn't seem to have done anything hurtful.

Is there one?

Qingming can't remember clearly.

It doesn't matter either.

"You're still so cute!"

Raise your hand and pinch the little girl's face, it is soft and comfortable to the touch.

But he didn't say anything more.

Enomoto Azusa sent cakes and milk for the little girl to eat, but Kiyoshi just hugged her and fell into deep thought.

Gray Plains sat alone.

Holding the coffee, I took a small sip, but my eyes were staring at Qingming.

In her opinion, Qingming is a dangerous person.

She has always felt so, and Qingming's series of actions have also confirmed this.

However, this danger seems to be only coming at her, and in the face of other people, whether it is her sister, or Ayumi, Enomoto Azusa, twin maids, etc., Kiyoshi is almost harmless.

At least that's what she's observing.

So, why?

It seems that this has been the case since the beginning, and she still remembers the day she woke up in this coffee shop, it seemed that Qingming was not very happy, and since then, it seems that it has been targeting her.

So because of what?

There is no love without a reason in the world, and there is no hate without a reason.

But she just couldn't figure it out.

She didn't know Qingming before, and after she met, she didn't do anything to be sorry for Qingming, but Qingming never wanted to see her and kept targeting her.

I can't figure it out.

"Hoo ......"

I blew on the coffee that was still relatively hot and took another sip.

His eyes were still staring at Qingming.

She wanted to understand this matter, to be precise, she wanted to make it clear to Qingming, she was targeted for no reason, she was very uncomfortable, and she felt very wronged.

But I don't dare.

For her, Qingming is not such a good talker, and if she asks directly, I'm afraid it will have no effect.

What to do?

She hesitated, pondered.

But there doesn't seem to be a particularly good way.

Maybe it's better to be more direct?

"Hoo ......"

Sigh softly.

So it's really troublesome to talk about Qingming.
