August 18, 10:30 a.m.

Ritsu Sasashima carried Shiho Miyano from the institute to an apartment at 2-chome 11 in Toyacho, the address provided by her sister.

Parking in the alley on the side of the apartment, the two got out of the car and walked towards the old-fashioned apartment building, which looked very ordinary.

The five-storey building is five stories high, and there are six residents on the first floor, and judging from the spacing of the doors, the space inside should not be very large.

Walking up the stairs, Shiho Miyano was still wearing a white coat, because Ritsu Sasashima brought her out under the pretext of "I need your help with a mission", so she didn't bother to change her clothes.

"What are you doing in this kind of place, are you hiding in the golden house here?"

Ritsu Sasashima was almost knocked out of the stairs by this sentence, and he smiled bitterly, "Can't you think of something good?" ”

The two of them stopped at the door of room 502 on the fifth floor, he raised his hand to ring the doorbell, and said, "I'll take you here to meet..."

Before the doorbell could be pressed, there was a slight sound of hurried footsteps inside the door, and then the heavy security door was opened, accompanied by a loud bang.

Bang!

Seeing his sister who played the salute in the house, Shiho Miyano was first overjoyed, and then saw Toru Nanase who was covered with confetti, and laughed directly.

"Flutter."

“……”

Akemi Miyano showed an apologetic look, folded her hands and said, "Nanase-kun, I'm sorry, I thought it was Shiho who rang the doorbell." ”

Before he could realize that this was a birthday surprise for himself, Shiho Miyano smiled and raised his eyebrows and asked, "Ahhhh Was this prank originally intended for me? ”

"I want to surprise you on your birthday."

Ritsu Sasashima took out the wrapped Fusae wallet from his arms, handed it to Shiho and said, "Oh, birthday present." ”

It turned out that the excuse for bringing himself out was to surprise himself.,When did my sister and Toru Nanase secretly want to surprise on their birthday.。

"Okay, you two come in quickly, I still haven't cooked yet."

The reason why Akemi Miyano ran to the door in such a hurry was because there was still cooking on the stove, and she put down her slippers and turned around and walked towards the room on the left.

The smell of food was in the air, and Sasashima squatted down to change his shoes and asked, "Miss Akemi, can you tell me where the toilet is?" I'm going to take care of what I'm heading for. ”

"Enter the second room on the right hand side of the door!"

"Okay."

Ritsu Sasashima stepped on his slippers and was about to push the door directly, but was stopped by Shiho Miyano, who tilted his head in confusion and asked, "What, do you want to go to the toilet?" ”

"No, you stand at the door and wait for me."

Shiho Miyano went inside the toilet and carefully inspected each position, and after making sure that no feminine products were exposed, he opened the toilet door with confidence.

Then she noticed that Toru Nanase was looking at her with a strange expression, and she asked, "What are you doing looking at me with such eyes?" ”

“…… Isn't that a good habit? ”

"Huh?"

Ritsu Sasashima coughed dryly, his face was slightly red, and he was not embarrassed to say it, but he felt that this was not a very good behavior, and said in embarrassment: "This habit is not very good, you still have to develop the habit of flushing and washing your hands when you go to the toilet." ”

"Stupid!"

Miyano Shiho lifted his little foot and kicked it, the funny thing is that the power of the kick is not great, but it is extremely insulting, and the slippers that don't fit well fly out and smash on the opposite wall, and then the rebound slapped on Toru Nanase's ass impartially.

These slippers really find a place.

"I didn't go to the toilet, I just went in to check if there were any feminine products inside!"

It turned out that he had misunderstood, and Ritsu Sasashima rubbed his buttocks, which had been attacked inexplicably, and said, "That's it, I'm sorry I misunderstood." ”

After the arrogant Miyano jumped on one foot and put on her slippers, she walked in the direction of the kitchen, and "hummed" before leaving, and she could guess that she must be complaining in her heart.

Stupid stupid stupid, how can I be the kind of person who doesn't wash my hands when I go to the toilet!

Standing in front of the mirror in the toilet, Ritsu Sasashima removed all the confetti from her hair, washed her hands before coming to the kitchen, and saw Akemi busy in front of the sink, and said, "Is there anything I need help with?" ”

The agreed time was 11:30, but due to the arrival an hour early, Akemi Miyano had not done anything except stewed the chicken.

"Then help me cut the pork belly into thin slices, and cut the green peppers and onions into chunks."

"Okay."

Ritsu Sasashima, who was forbidden to enter the kitchen by some of them, began to "scourge" others again, and he felt that his knife skills were good, so he took the initiative to help, but after picking up the knife, he couldn't do it.

After staring at the fat pork belly in front of him for a few seconds, he took a chopstick and put it on top of the pork belly in his right hand, and carefully cut it with a kitchen knife in his left hand.

The meat that should have been cut into slices of less than 2 cm was doubled by Sasashima cut. Shiho Miyano, who had witnessed Toru Nanase in the research institute and couldn't even control the water temperature and amount of water in the instant noodles, didn't trust him at all.

"Do you have any misconceptions about flakes?"

Ritsu Sasashima was stunned for a moment, put down the chopsticks in his hand against the meat, and left a little gap between the thumb and index finger of his right hand with parallel extensions, and asked, "Isn't this thin enough?" ”

"Huh." Shiho Miyano stretched out his hand to reduce the gap again, and said, "This is the only way to be qualified, and why are you using chopsticks against the meat, is this meat poisonous?" ”

"Don't you think the raw meat feels a little... Is it hard to put into words? ”

Akemi Miyano on the side covered her mouth and snickered, she used to think that Toru Nanase was polite and didn't like to laugh, and she was a more serious person at any point in time, but she didn't expect to have such a cute side.

Shiho Miyano couldn't stand it anymore and grabbed the knife and said, "You go away, I'll starve to death when you finish cutting these things." ”

"Don't you understand slow work and fine work?"

"The question is, are you doing a good job?" Miyano narrowed his eyes and pinched the thick slices of meat, and asked with an eyebrow raised.

“……”

Ritsu Sasashima was speechless, as if it was a little thick, to prevent himself from being scolded, he ran to the sofa in the living room and sat down, picking up Shiho and reading a few pages of fashion magazines.

Looking at the various mature dresses above, and thinking of Shiho in casual clothes, ah, she definitely looks at this kind of thing on weekdays to dress up so not like a little girl.

But...

Ritsu Sasashima looked sideways at Shiho, who was on tiptoe while chopping vegetables while chatting with his sister, was she a little taller than when they first met?

Forget it, I'm still short compared to myself.

Ding dong.

At this time, there was a doorbell at the door, and Ritsu Sasashima frowned with a vigilant expression, why is there a doorbell, could it be that there have been organized personnel guarding the vicinity, and then reporting the news to Gin?

I have to say that if you stay with gin for a long time, your suspicion will be infected.

"Ah, Nanase-kun is still bothering you to get it, it's the cake I ordered!"

“…… Oh. ”

It turned out that it was just a cake.

A false alarm.
