If happiness is calculated on the basis of two people, then the happiness value at this moment may have soared to the limit.

Each other's hearts have been conveyed to the past, and what is needed in the end is their own efforts and a little help.

People can't move forward on their own, but once they have support and backing, they will become much stronger, increase their success rate, and achieve success.

This theory applies to both humans and elves.

Natsume carried Yakuya out of the woods wrapped in green leaves and the chirping of cicadas, and walked through the paved gravel path to the back door of the dormitory kitchen.

The reason why I know about this place is, of course, because Natsume has investigated beforehand, and conducted research in order to make barbecue, to see if there are any unique ingredients that are needed.

Walking to the door, Natsume gently moved his hand.

"Don't touch people's thighs!"

"Just a reminder...... Can you come down and go on your own? If not, stay on my back. ”

"I know, I can act."

Is it?

Putting Yakuya down, Natsume twisted the doorknob to open the back door that wasn't closed.

Inside is a relatively large kitchen, and there are still several chefs and waiters walking around.

"Excuse me."

The middle-aged man, who was the head chef, nodded when he saw Natsume, waved the blade in his hand and said

"Do you want to learn how to cook with me?"

"Forget it now, I'm here to borrow some white vinegar."

"White vinegar?"

The chef quickly chopped the shredded radish and snuggled his mouth.

"It's on the left side of the first floor on the opposite side, and there's a third of the bottles of white vinegar there, which is enough for you."

"Yes."

Walking to the place pointed by the chef, Natsume found the white vinegar there, took it out and put it in the bag, thanked him, and left.

Yakuya, who had been following behind, seemed to be interested in Natsume's way of getting into trouble. In her eyes, she must be well-organized and unflustered.

The kitchen came out, and Yakuya, who trotted to Natsume's side, stared at Natsume's face for a while.

"I didn't expect it to look so gloomy, but I'm a good communicator."

"I guess I'm used to it, I used to be completely different from what I am now."

No, it's not just habits, but after learning about the extraordinary, and after learning about death and killing, you will easily accept these things.

Carrying the bag, I was going to return along the road. The scorching sun was still provocative, and the dazzling light was scorching the earth and distorting the air.

The summer tide has flooded the world, and the ubiquitous heat has made waves.

In the distance, in the space between the sky and the sea. Like a torn canvas, horizontal lines of extension streak across the sky. Divide the world in two.

The gravel path under your feet was laid with great care. The spacing and size of the stones are very even, so it is quite comfortable to walk on.

The forest road ahead looks like it's been squeezed out of the woods, and the exposed entrance is shaking the nearby plants to announce the arrival of the wind.

He took a step, but a figure suddenly came to the front of Natsu, and Yakuya pointed to the road to Natsume's right and said

"Can you take a long detour?"

"If you don't feel hot."

Natsume readily agreed to Yakuya's request. Originally, he had no reason to refuse.

The road on the right is a passage leading to the sea, and the pedestrians on the road seem to be a little erratic in the heat and distorted vision.

The blue sea fills the horizon, and the vast expanse of the sea sets off waves in an all-encompassing manner.

The waves stirred up by the slapping rocky reef were like a stirring note. It makes a distinctive impact sound.

It took three minutes to walk to the beach here, and Natsume felt the wind and gently kicked the beautiful seashell next to her feet.

The colorful shells flew in the air and finally disappeared into the sea, and the colorful colors lost their audience and perhaps became dull.

Both of them were wearing sandals, so they both walked near the edge of the beach, and the waves gently hit the skin near the bare feet, and the cold touch was refreshing.

Yakuya seems to prefer to go barefoot rather than wear shoes.

She took off her shoes, put them in her hands, and stomped through the water, with a lively smile on her face, satisfied with the moment.

"Be careful, you might step on broken shells and crabs."

It's not in movies and novels that running barefoot on the beach is a dangerous thing.

However, like a child, willful, Yakuya made a grimace at Natsume.

"Natsume, a stupid man who is rotten and has no emotion! You're going to wait for me to become a magician! ”

"Say whatever you want."

Natsume followed her, looking at the horizon in the distance, as if God had used more colors, the place where the water and the sky meet, was squeezed out of a thin white line, becoming the dividing line between the water and the sky.

It's a long way, and to get there, you'll need to leave the beach again and go around a small forest to your destination.

Judging by the time, the barbecue should be about to start, and according to the speed of the two, it should be able to catch up.

The sound of treading water continued, and the girl's figure seemed to be melted by the sun, gradually blurring in Natsume's field of vision.

"Yakuya?!"

"What's wrong?"

Hearing the response, Natsume saw Yakuya's figure clearly, she was about two meters in front of her, casting a puzzled gaze with her hands behind her back.

"Nothing, just trying to call your name."

"It's weird!"

Turning around, Yakuya, who was about to take a step, suddenly lost his balance.

The waves seemed to be mixed with stones and debris, and with a slight pain, Yakuya fell to the sea to her left.

A few steps forward, Natsume stretched out his hand and grabbed Yakuya's arm, but because it was too sudden, the whole person fell with Yakuya.

Poof!

The sound of two falling waters almost overlapped, and on the shallow beach, Yakuya and Natsume were lying in the water.

Both of their clothes were wet and clung to their bodies.

Although they fell, their hands were still tightly clasped together, and they looked at each other and laughed in unison.

The right hand and the left hand are clasped, and the gaze falls from the sky to the other.

"This is probably the most fun experience I've had lately, Natsume."

"Really?"

You can see the appearance of the other party from the pupils, after all, slowly approaching.

However, at that moment, a huge wave crashed on the two of them.

Crash!

Ahem, ahem!

Coughing, they immediately got up from the beach, looked at each other with their hair all wet, and Natsume was the first to speak.

"Let's go back."

"Yes."

Walking together, the scorching sun makes people even hotter. (To be continued......)
