It rained all the time.

Temperatures are getting colder.

Even if you stay in the coffee shop, it feels a little chilly.

The young girl drank warm coffee and held a cup in both hands, as if to feel a little warmer.

Qingming thought she was a little strange.

It's just specific, and I can't say it, so I don't have to worry about it.

"What to say......"

What he wanted to say.

But as soon as he spoke, he picked up his coffee again, and after taking a sip, he put down his cup and continued to speak.

"Friends, perhaps, are people who can share adversity."

He thinks so.

Or rather, he can only think so, because he really doesn't know much about the existence of friends, and he didn't have any friends before.

Before the crossing, it was a house, only netizens.

After crossing, it is basically a house, and when I came to Neon, I had such a friend as Xiaolan.

But technically, it doesn't seem like a friend anymore.

All in all, because I don't understand, I don't understand the definition of "friend" very well, and naturally I can't say why.

Even if he is a Taoist priest, he has superpowers, he can read fortune telling, etc.

But it's not omnipotent, omniscient.

"...... of Suffering Together"

The young girl frowned slightly, as if she didn't quite understand.

Qingming picked up the cup and took another sip.

His gaze kept falling on the young girl's face, trying to see something in the change in her expression.

But only in vain.

Put down the cup and speak again.

"What's your name? Can you tell me conveniently? ”

"Name?"

The young girl looked at Qingming.

After thinking for a moment, he nodded.

"My name is Heaven Qinghua."

It's just a name, it's not a secret that can't be told to others, so she didn't hide it.

"Paradise Sunny Blossom...... Paradise ......"

Hearing the name of Qingming, thoughtful.

"Nice name."

He boasted.

The fingers of his right hand moved on the table, and he was calculating something.

Heaven Haruka didn't know this.

She saw the movements of Qingming's hands, but she didn't care, she didn't know that Qingming knew how to read fortunes.

Moreover, when those "masters" look at fortune-telling, they don't want to be like this.

Let's not talk about that.

Neither of them spoke, and the café fell silent again.

After a while.

Qingming seemed to sigh and stopped the movement of his hands.

Didn't say anything.

Turn your head and look outside.

He picked up the cup again and savored the coffee in the cup, his eyes were calm and deep, as if he was thinking about something.

Quiet time, slowly passed.

The rain showed no signs of stopping, but it was getting heavier and heavier, and the wind was blowing, so even if you have an umbrella, it's not easy to walk outside.

Heaven Qinghua frowned.

Qingming can stay here for the night, but she can't, so she wants to leave.

It's just this case......

"Want to go home?"

Qingming, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly asked.

She looked at Qingming.

He hesitated, but nodded.

Qingming stopped talking again.

Just looked at the time, then stood up, walked over to the counter, and made a call from the landline.

After a few words, he put down the microphone.

He walked into the kitchen again, came out with two cups of coffee and some cakes and biscuits, and walked over to sit down.

"I'll have someone send you."

So to speak.

Put the coffee in front of her, put the cake and biscuits.

On his face, with a smile.

"Until then, have me another cup of coffee."

“……”

Heaven Qinghua looked at Qingming with some confusion.

But after thinking about it, I nodded.

"Thank you."

"No thanks."

Qingming shook his head.

Pick up a small cookie and throw it in your mouth.

While chewing, I watched the heavenly sunshine.

After swallowing, he asked again.

"So, is there any trouble with asking that kind of question just now about a friend's matter?"

What is a friend......

This kind of question, to be honest, is very difficult to answer.

At the end of the day, this is a very subjective question, everyone has their own criteria for choosing friends, but in general, maybe they are all about the same.

Heaven Qinghua was silent for a moment.

He shook his head with a wry smile.

"It's nothing, maybe I'm just feeling a little tired, or maybe ...... It's just that you suddenly want to ask, so you can ask anyone, so don't worry. ”

"That's ......"

Qingming nodded.

It's just that he doesn't believe it's just casual talk.

But Heaven Qinghua didn't want to say it, and he didn't bother to continue to ask, anyway, it had nothing to do with him, just fate.

So, there was silence again.

After another cup of coffee, a car came to a stop in front of the coffee shop.

It's from the manor.

It was Nami Shimogasa who was driving, and Minaho Shimogasa also came with her, running from the side of the road with an umbrella.

Push open the door and walk into the store.

"Master."

There was only one one who came in, Minahi Shimogasa, and Nami Shimogasa was still in the car.

"Help me get this young lady back to where she lives."

"Yes!"

Minaha Shimogasa answered, indicating that she understood.

Heaven Qinghua stood up.

Grab your bag and unzip it, perhaps to check out.

But Qingming waved his hand.

"Let's go, let's go."

"This ...... Thank you. ”

In the end, he thanked him and left with Minaho Shimogasa.

Braving the rain to get into the car.

The car started and soon disappeared along the street.

Qingming was still sitting there.

"Friends ......"

Babbling and thinking.

After a long time, he pouted directly, stood up and stretched.

"Whatever happens!"

Be physically active.

After that, I sat down at the counter, picked up the old books, and continued to look through the research.

Outside, it was pouring rain.

So, it's a really good weather.

Although only in relation to Qingming.

……

Midnight.

After the twin maids sent Heaven Qinghua back, they went to the coffee shop and took Qingming back to the manor.

It was Qingming who asked them to go.

When I came back, I went straight to the bathroom for a bath.

Then put on his pajamas, walked to the second floor, stood at the top of the stairs and thought for a while, and then walked directly to the door of Gray Yuan's room.

Push open the door and get in.

Gray Yuan Wai was already lying on the bed, asleep.

But Qingming doesn't care.

Climbed into the bed and got into the quilt, pulled the little girl directly on top of him, hugged her, maybe used her as a pillow.

The action was a bit big, and it also woke up Gray Yuan's mourning.

The room was not lit on.

I couldn't see clearly, but I felt someone holding me, which startled Gray Yuanai.

"Who?"

Screamed.

The drowsiness was also frightened, and the head quickly woke up.

Think about it.

He frowned again.

"Clear ...... Ernie sauce? ”

"Hmm."

Qingming responded.

Hearing this, Gray Yuan Wai breathed a sigh of relief.

But when I think about it, I find that now is not the time to be at ease, but rather the time to be more vigilant.

Qingming, this guy can do everything.

Now the third watch broke into a girl's boudoir in the middle of the night, and the ghost knows what he wanted to do.

Well, the ghost doesn't know either.

God knows.

"What do you want to do?"

Gray Yuan wanted to leave Qingming's embrace, but it was only in vain.

In the end, I had to give up.

When she encounters an existence like Qingming, even if she wants to resist, she can't do anything.

It's really unfortunate.

"Now."

Qingming didn't seem to plan on doing anything.

Because this time I held her hands, it was more regular, and I didn't touch her.

On the lips, it is asking.

"Do you have any friends?"

“？”
