This is a pond because it is summer and the pond is already full of lotus flowers

The scorching summer sun shines on the pond, and the sunlight is reflected off the water surface in the gaps of the lotus leaves.

The breeze blows, setting off a faint wave on the water surface, and the lotus flowers above the water surface sway slightly with the breeze.

At this moment, apart from the faint chirping of cicadas and the sound of the breeze blowing, all that's left...

… Call~~

………

… Call~~

………

… Call~~

Flat, almost inaudible breathing sounds are repeated at long intervals.

A little black-haired girl about eleven or twelve years old was sitting in the center of the pond, or to be exact, sitting on a lotus flower in the middle of the pond.

Although the little girl is petite and looks like her weight should be very light, no matter how light she is, it is absolutely impossible for the slender branches of the big lotus flower in the basin to support the weight of a person, even if it is just a baby.

But the little girl is indeed sitting on the lotus flower safely.

Her eyes were closed, and the expression on her face was neither joy nor sorrow, calm and indifferent.

The petite body was motionless like a statue, even if the breeze blew and the body swayed slightly, her expression did not necessarily change interestingly

But as time passed, the little girl's gentle breathing gradually began to rapid, and the bangs on her forehead were gradually wet with sweat that came out of nowhere.

… Whew! ~

Unconsciously, her steady figure gradually began to shake, and the arc of the shaking became larger and larger, with her as the center, wave after wave began to spread around.

The slender branches of the lotus flower supported by Ga~~Ka~ couldn't help but let out a mournful sound, as if it was about to collapse in the next moment.

Click!

Poof! ~

In the end, she couldn't hold on, and the little girl suddenly lost her balance and fell into the water.

The little girl who fell into the water quickly swam back to the shore, holding the cobblestone at the edge of the pond with both hands, and pulled out her body that had been soaked in the water in one go.

Loose and athletic clothes cling to the little girl's petite body because they are soaked in water, so that the little girl's well-developed figure relative to her peers is presented.

She was soaked all over at the moment, and the bangs on her forehead kept dropping water droplets, probably because she felt that her hair was wet and uncomfortable, the little girl shook her head violently, and a large string of water droplets were thrown out by her and splashed around.

Bell, this can't be shaken off. Just as the little girl shook her head desperately, trying to shake off all the droplets from her hair, a dry towel covered her little head.

She looked up, and was greeted by a gentle smile.

What a stupid boy, how could he do it like that. Immediately, a pair of big hands covered the towel and gently wiped the water droplets from her hair.

…… Has it improved? The little girl stared at the owner of the big hands for a long time before she spoke softly, her voice was steady and indifferent, without a trace of ups and downs, giving people the feeling of a doll with a voice program, but in the depths of her calm eyes, there was a flash of expectation.

Well, it's progressed. The owner of the big hand gently took the towel away, gently patted the little head that had been wiped clean, and showed an appreciative smile on his face.

It seems that soon, you will be able to grasp the essence of stillness. Listening to his praise, the girl's expressionless face seemed to loosen slightly, the corners of her mouth curved into an almost inaudible arc, and her eyes narrowed slightly.

is worthy of being a disciple that the old man is proud of. Feeling the touch of that big hand, the girl's expression gradually changed.

Well.

――――――――――――――――

It's still that girl, but it looks like she's grown a few years older, and she's thirteen or fourteen years old, and at this age, she's already starting to bloom with her own brilliance, and she should be called a girl.

Still, her little face was as expressionless as ever.

At this moment, she was wearing an apron, standing in the kitchen, looking at the dazzling array of ingredients in front of her and holding a kitchen knife.

She picked up a green pepper, stared at it motionless with her big black pearl-like eyes, and gestured at the green pepper with a kitchen knife in her right hand, and then put it down again. She picked up another piece of tenderloin and looked at it for a long time, and finally put it down.........

She kept picking up various ingredients and observing, gesturing, but she just didn't move.

Time passed imperceptibly, but the girl still didn't achieve anything.

Suzu, why is it so long? Suddenly, the curtain of the kitchen door was opened by a palm, and the owner of the palm poked his head out, and when he saw that there was not a trace of oil smoke in the kitchen, not even a fire was burning, he couldn't help but laugh.

Little fool. With a smile on his face, the owner of the palm gently took the kitchen knife in the girl's hand, and poked the girl's forehead lightly with his free left hand.

said that he wanted to cook a meal for the teacher, but the teacher sat at the dinner table and waited for so long before he started. Hearing the slightly ridiculous words, a trace of crimson flashed on the girl's calm and indifferent little face.

Forget about it, no. The girl nodded, her lips slightly open, and her words were clear and concise.

The big black pearl-like eyes blinked as they stared at the wide, dazzling golden back, and a trace of shame flashed in the depths of their eyes.

That's not good, girls can still cook so that some people like it. The gentle and magnetic voice carried a hint of an unconcealable smile, and the warm palm gently covered her little head, gently caressing.

……… It's true? Hearing this, the girl raised her head slightly, her black eyes stared at the gentle smiling face, and the expression on her face was slightly moved, showing a rare hint of nervousness.

Hehe, of course, with Suzu's cute appearance, even if you can't cook, there will be a lot of people who like it. Seeing other expressions appear on the girl's expressionless face, that cute appearance made people laugh. He lowered his head and gently rubbed the cute little face, relieved.

Even if Suzu doesn't know how to cook, Master will always like Suzu. The girl's ears trembled, and for some reason, her ears suddenly began to turn red and hot.

Well. The girl looked at the ingredients in front of her and then at the warm smiling face, and for the first time something indescribable appeared in her calm pupils.

It's agreed. The girl stretched out her hand and hooked her little thumb, her delicate little face was full of calm, only those black eyes were full of determination.

Always. The words were so concise that people didn't know why they made him laugh dumbly, he understood what the girl meant, he rubbed the girl's little head dotingly, and raised his hand.

Well, agreed. The two little fingers, one big and one small, were hooked together.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Bang! ~ The sound of heavy objects falling on the table sounded heavily.

Huh? Me, asleep? Ling Meng, who was lying on the desk, raised her head, rubbed her head that hurt a little, and looked at the manuscript paper on the bookcase that had not moved a word, and she couldn't help but smile bitterly.

I was uninspired when I was rushing to write, and I fell asleep...... It's really... Ling Meng smiled bitterly and scratched her hair, looked at the white manuscript paper and let out a long sigh.

Looks like it's going to be delayed......
