After sleeping with Sayoko for the first time, Hoshino walked home and hummed quietly.

【鳥よ、鳥よ、どうか今一度】

The song is good, but the level of the hummer is not flattering.

Mahiro Hoshino really doesn't have a musical cell.

Many years ago, when the elementary school music teacher was selecting the members of the choir, she asked each student to take turns to come forward and pronounce a note in front of her.

When it was Hoshino Mahiro's turn, the 'ah' sound just came out when the teacher asked him to go down.

The music didn't open the door to him, at best it left him a window of appreciation.

After all, it has nothing to do with music.

But Hoshino still loves music, and music is an indispensable part of his life.

Humming a song that was a little out of tune, he staggered out of the school gate.

The crows on the wall tilted their heads to look at him.

Why did this human being shout them over and over again in a terrible voice. ’

The crow let out a hoarse cry that interrupted Hoshino Mahiro's humming.

Accurate.

Although he didn't sing very well, it was better than the crow's cry.

Hoshino looked at the crows on the wall for a moment and decided not to bother with them.

You have to be broad-minded to adapt to all kinds of unsatisfactory life.

Watching Hoshino Mahiro fade away, the crows blinked their black eyes and set off to fly towards the vanishing sunset.

......

One more thing.

Hoshino Mahiro suddenly remembered that there was no rice at home, and he had to stop by to buy a bag of rice on the way home.

Expertly get past all the temptations of snacks, grab the rice and start queuing.

The first few male high school students with long bags on their backs were also wearing Shengyang's school uniforms, and they were talking and laughing with several bottles of sports drinks in their hands, probably just finished training.

Mahiro Hoshino didn't pay attention to the conversation between them.

If it is a young and beautiful female high school student, it may make people more interested, but the topic of sports for male high school students is really intriguing.

And for him, movement is somehow more brutal than music.

If music is fateful, sports are completely unfatal.

Now the only thing that has a fate with me is the rice in my hand.

"Thank you for your patronage."

Male high school students who buy rice after school should be very rare, and the young female cashier has taken a few more looks at him.

Anyway, there won't be a few pieces of meat missing, and Hoshino really looks generous to others.

Not to give up on what you want to do because you are afraid of the eyes of strangers, this is also one of his life lessons.

Collect the change you have recovered, and today's dinner will be settled.

As soon as he was about to go out with the rice, he met Higuchi Rokuka, who was going to come in.

The two of them were stunned for a moment, and Higuchi Rokka stayed on the bag of rice.

Hoshino nodded at her and stepped out of his seat.

The high school girl nodded to him in the same way.

When this kind of classmates who are not strangers and are not familiar with each other meet, they will nod or wave if they don't want to speak.

After going out, Hoshino Mahiro let out a cloudy breath, and suddenly wondered what Higuchi Rokuka had just thought.

After all, it is really rare for male high school students to buy rice at convenience stores.

Continue in the direction of home.

The apartment where he lived was not far from Shengyang, almost ten minutes away.

Along the way, there is no big city at all, and there is not much difference between it and Hoshino Mahiro's hometown.

Although Seiyang is a school in Tokyo, it is actually on the edge of Tokyo.

It should be on the border between Tokyo and Saitama Prefecture, and it is not clear which ward Hoshino Mahiro is.

He has only been in Tokyo for more than half a month, and he has not even memorized all the 23 wards of Tokyo's administrative plan.

It's not a big problem, anyway, he doesn't want to be a lying Tokyoite.

The apartment where Mahiro Hoshino lives is a two-story wooden building that is some years old, just like the crotch pain apartment in "Crayon Shin-chan".

Every time you walk up to the second floor, the staircase emits a nostalgic sound of the last century.

Most of the tenants of this apartment are outsiders who come to Tokyo to pursue their dreams, and there are also students from nearby high schools or students who are studying for exams.

The owners of the apartment are an elderly landlord couple.

They were also students who graduated from Shengyang, about 35 years ago.

Since moving here in mid-March this year, they have provided a lot of convenience to the juniors of the same school.

The rent is cheap and the prices in the neighborhood are friendly.

Even if he didn't need the money his parents sent him every month, Hoshino Masahiro's savings would be enough for him to finish the past three years.

As for how the savings came from, it was naturally accumulated over time with a small intelligence advantage of the reborn.

"I'm back."

Naturally, no one responds, and if someone does, it will become a horror story set.

However, when I talked to my parents on the phone some time ago, I seemed to say that my sister would come here to play during the summer vacation, and then say hello to the landlord and his wife.

The room is small, with a kitchen on the left hand side and a toilet and bathroom on the right hand side.

Put the rice on the stove and process it later.

A few steps further inside is the combination of living room and bedroom, and with the bag down, Mahiro Hoshino lies down on the tatami mat.

Use your spirit to completely relax your body until it is like mud, and then gather your thoughts scattered throughout your body with all your strength, and finally say a word to yourself.

'It's been a hard day, too. ’

After resting for a while, get up and prepare dinner.

I have already eaten curry in the afternoon, so let's cook porridge for dinner.

Japanese people only eat porridge when they are sick, and Hoshino Mahiro doesn't understand the connotation, so he uses porridge every time he is too lazy to cook.

The refrigerator retrieved from a second-hand store is one of the few large appliances in the house, and some meat is turned out of it.

I didn't eat meat in the curry in the afternoon, and it's still a bit uncomfortable to look back on.

After tossing and turning for about half an hour, the sky had completely darkened.

A bowl of porridge with sliced meat, and by the way, two boiled eggs.

There are still two last processes that are not completed before eating.

Eating porridge must be accompanied by soy sauce, as if the sun rises in the east, which is unshakable common sense of life for Hoshino Mahiro.

Drizzle a little soy sauce over the porridge, and the next step is to separate the boiled eggs.

First of all, carefully peel off the shell to reveal the beautiful egg white, gently squeeze out a slit, expand the slit to a similar size, and pour out the egg yolk inside.

The egg yolk affects the refreshing taste of the egg white, and Hoshino Mahiro can't accept the taste of eating it together.

It's done, and the Hoshino family's meal today with a sense of ceremony.

With respect for the ingredients and gratitude for myself as a chef.

"I'm moving."

……

After solving the simple dinner, Hoshino Mahiro began to clean up the dishes and kitchen utensils.

Wipe the table well and write on it later.

After tidying up your hands, it's time to relax in the middle of the day – taking a bath.

Even in a small space, you have to squeeze out a place to take a bath, and this kind of attachment is really inexplicable.

Wash the changed school uniforms in time, after all, there are only two sets, and you have to wear them the day after tomorrow.

The narrow balcony can't stand people, only clothes.

The weather is nice today, and you can still see a few stars when you look up while you are drying your clothes.

Can Sayoko Himenomiya be seen at this moment? This scarce star.

For no reason, Hoshino Mahiro was suddenly thinking about Sayoko Himenomiya.
