It's so polite.

Rintaro was in a daze, then put away his phone and turned to walk into the house, but the moment he turned around, he saw the expressionless face standing in front of the window.

Rintaro couldn't hold back, took a step back, and leaned against the balcony railing.

It's scary,.

Rintaro opened the floor-to-ceiling window that had been closed for soundproofing, and looked at Hazuki Katase face to face.

"I was actually ...... just now"

"Call my sister, I hear it all."

Rintaro's quibble was interrupted by Katase Hazuki before he could even say it.

"You know, the soundproofing of your balcony is actually quite average."

How do I know this? I live alone.

"I think you need to listen to me explain Hazuki."

Katase Hazuki held her hands, and because her arms were slightly raised, a touch of sky blue appeared faintly on the hem of her white T-shirt.

It's weird.

Take another look.

Katase Hazuki didn't speak, quietly waiting for an explanation.

"Actually, your sister actually called me before you came over, or before I opened the door and met you. She said that you had a fight with your mother and went out, but it was raining at the time, and you didn't answer the call, and you had a limited number of sisters, so she called me and asked me to help find you. ”

"I guess I saw it when you were cooking, there was still water boiling on the kitchen counter, I was going to eat instant noodles tonight, and when I heard you running out, of course I went out to find you."

Rintaro felt Katase Hazuki's gaze soften a little.

Then, when I open the door, I see you standing in the doorway. You'll know the rest. ”

"Of course your sister who told me about your situation is also worried about you, I already told her about it when I went out to buy dinner, and I just sent her a message back, telling her that your situation is fine, so that she and Xingli don't have to worry. Even if you quarrel with your mother, you can't worry your sister and sister who are so worried about you and rely on you, right? ”

Rintaro reached out and patted Katase Hazuki on the shoulder.

"You're from Chiba."

“…… I only sensed the ridicule from what you just said. ”

"No, you think too much."

Katase Hazuki hugged her hand.

"But then what I'm doing is useless? If she knew my whereabouts, she probably wouldn't even have the slightest idea. ”

"In that case, do you want to go home?"

"Don't." Katase Hazuki refused very strongly: "Even if it doesn't work, what I'm going to do won't change." ”

But what you're going to do won't have any effect, it's useless.

Katase Hazuki is also too stubborn.

"You'll help me, won't you?"

"What? Oh...... That's right, I do help you. However, I think that if Ye Yue goes back first, the success rate on my side should be a little higher. ”

"I ran away from home."

……

Okay, it looks like we didn't talk about it.

Rintaro scratched his head: "Forget it, but I'll ask your sister to bring you some clothes tomorrow, and you can't refuse when the time comes." If your sister saw you like this, she would throw me off the balcony. ”

Katase Hazuki snorted and turned back into the room.

The last time I was alone in the apartment with other girls...... Looks like she's with her sister, right? Are the girls of the Katase family born with the characteristics of starting with white letters?

What a dangerous trait.

Fortunately, it was me, a righteous gentleman, who discovered this.

These two Katase sisters are so lucky.

Also back in the room, Katase Hazuki had already washed the dishes and cleaned up the low table by the way. She was looking around the room...... There does seem to be a lot of things here compared to when she came, and the most conspicuous thing is probably the laptop.

"All these extra things are my sister's stuff? Where were you hiding before? ”

"In the closet. Because your sister was afraid that you and Xingli's classmates would have some unnecessary misunderstandings, so she asked me to put it away. ”

At least for now, it is indeed an unnecessary misunderstanding.

Katase Hazuki quickly lost interest in these things, and instead looked at Rintaro who was sitting on the other side of the table, and didn't speak, just looked at him quietly, making Rentaro, who already didn't know what to do, even more overwhelmed now.

The two of them looked at each other, and the time passed like this, and the atmosphere was so awkward that Rintaro could pull out a room and a living room with his feet.

Rintaro finally held it up with a passive "expressionless face", but how Katase Hazuki kept his face unchanged is also a mystery to Rintaro.

"Hmm...... Hazuki. Rintaro couldn't stand the silence anymore and broke the peace: "Since you decided not to go back for the time being, can I ask you what you are going to do next?" Do you need to ask your sister to bring your pocket money or something? ”

"I don't know." Katase Hazuki's answer was also very simple: "I shouldn't be able to do a lot of things now, if my mother really decides to leave me alone for the time being, she probably won't let my sister give me pocket money, so that she can force me to go back quickly." In fact, there shouldn't be a lot of things that can be done. ”

"Anyway, I'll try to talk to your mother as soon as possible. But I, Hazuki, should at least promise me one thing. Whatever the outcome of my conversation with your mother, you should go back. Rintaro clasped his hand: "I can't let you stay alone in this apartment, especially since your current state can't reassure me at all." ”

“…… I'm not a child. ”

"Although I use a consultative tone, Ye Yue, you still have to go back."

“…… You're not a gentleman at all. ”

"I've never been a gentleman."

"But I still don't really want to go back so early. I can't let myself make decisions as if they never happened. I also have self-esteem. ”

As a tutor, Rintaro certainly doesn't ignore something as important as "self-esteem".

“…… Well, I'll try to talk to your mother first, and if that doesn't work, we'll find another way. ”

"Are you worried that I live here alone?"

"Of course. After all, there's no reason not to worry about your current situation. ”

The corners of Katase Hazuki's mouth were slightly hooked, as if she had thought of something good.

Rintaro has a sign that "something big is not good" comes to his heart.

"In that case, can I go back with you during the summer vacation?"

Grass.

It's really a big deal.
