At nine o'clock in the morning, Izumi Kurose finished all the housework and went out with Chiren Shiraishi, who had changed into civilian clothes.

Her casual dress was a fluttery white sleeveless dress with cute butterfly ties at the waist and chest.

In order to match the dress, I wore sandals with straps, revealing the pink toes and the ivory instep and calves.

Speaking of which, Izumi Kurose is the first time Izumi Shiraishi has seen Chiren Shiraishi in civilian clothes.

Yesterday she was wearing loungewear, and although it was cute, the style of the dress was very plain.

But now, wearing a dress, she is undoubtedly the cutest and the most lovely!

Walking along the streets of Jimbocho with Chiren Shiraishi and along the riverside, pedestrians cast their eyes.

What's more, I hit my head on a telephone pole because I was stunned!

'Cute, Shiraishi she's so cute......

Izumi Kurose and Chiren Shiraishi walked side by side, constantly glancing at her out of the corner of their eyes, and they kept calling her cute in their hearts!

"It's surprisingly good to come out for a walk."

Shiraishi Qianren looked sideways at the sparkling river, and reached out to pull up a strand of hair that was blown away by the spring breeze, pinning it behind his ear.

The cherry blossom trees planted on the street next to them floated between the two of them and fell above their heads.

Izumi Kurose subconsciously stretched out her hand and naturally picked up a petal of cherry blossoms stained in her hair for Shiraishi Chiren.

"Thank you." Shiraishi Chiren thanked softly.

"It's okay, if you don't blame me for doing this suddenly."

"Kurose, you're always taking things seriously in strange places."

Shiraishi Chiren withdrew her gaze from the riverside, turned to look at Kurose Springs, and said with a smile: "What can I blame you for such a move?" ”

“…… Well, I see. Izumi Kurose looked away in embarrassment and whispered in response.

Then, many thoughts came to his heart, all of which were analyzing the meaning of Shiraishi Chiren's words.

I always felt that she was saying that they were doing some ambiguous behavior, which was something that they were used to and not worth caring about.

So what's worth thinking about?

Hand in hand?

Or a hug or something?

Speaking of hugging, it seems that yesterday morning because of a moment of excitement, I hugged Shiraishi Chiren tightly, right?

This morning, too, hugged each other tightly, and really felt the softness and warmth of Shiraishi Chiri's body.

In that case, will they hug again tomorrow?

What is the opportunity to hug each other?

Was it an accident, or an anxious hug, or a natural hug......

Izumi Kurose absentmindedly thought about these things that were not there, and felt that he cared more and more about Shiraishi Chiri!

"I'm out of Jimbocho."

Suddenly, a soft voice came to his ears, awakening his thoughts.

Kurose Izumi, who came back to his senses, looked at the busy streets in front of him and the high-rise buildings, and found that they had come to Ichibancho unconsciously.

"Ah...... yes, do you want to go back? Or where do you go on and around? ”

"What about you? Do you want to go or do you want to go back? Shiraishi asked softly.

"I'm ......" Izumi Kurose scratched his head, a little troubled, "Actually, I want you to go back, after all, you are still injured." ”

"I ......"

As soon as Shiraishi Chiren was about to speak, Izumi Kurose said again: "However, it seems that you really want to walk again, so let's walk for a while." ”

When Shiraishi Qianren heard this, he suddenly showed a heart-pounding smile in vain.

"Well, sure enough, Kurose is very gentle."

“……”

Izumi Kurose pretended to be deaf and dumb, and just walked forward, not responding.

But his black hair and red ears exposed everything.

The two walked side by side out of Ichibanmachi, then to Chiyoda Station, walked through the underground passage, and boarded the train.

Chiyoda's side doesn't have much to look at, so they plan to go to Shinjuku Gyoen.

On the silver-white tram bench, the two sat down, half a distance between them.

"I'm feeling a little tired."

When Izumi Kurose stared at the scenery galloping by outside the window in front of him, the voice of Shiraishi Chiren suddenly sounded beside him.

Immediately, there was a burst of weight and warmth on his shoulders, and a word that seemed to be weary:

"Can you just let me lean in like this?"

Izumi Kurose pursed her thin lips and didn't speak, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

Actually, he was very happy to be needed by Shiraishi Chirei.

No matter how long she has to rely on it, it's fine, even if it's old.

Time ticked and after eight minutes, the train made three stops and arrived in Shinjuku.

During this time, each other felt short and fleeting, and there was reluctance and nostalgia in their hearts.

But the tram had already arrived at the station and had to get off.

They got up, got out of the carriage together, stepped on the platform, and walked away slowly.

This scene, to outsiders, looks like a couple going on a date.

Walk out of the southeast exit of Shinjuku Station and go to Shinjuku Gate of Shinjuku Gyoen Gyoen for only six or seven minutes on foot.

Along the way, there are many high-rise commercial buildings, traffic is like weaving, and pedestrians shuttle back and forth.

Because the crowd is too dense, the distance between the two is relatively close, almost shoulder to shoulder.

And the hands they put under them, with the undulation of their steps, occasionally rubbed against the back of their hands, and their fingertips would touch each other.

But neither withdrew their hands, just let them touch each other.

Izumi Kurose pretended to be indifferent, looking at the endless traffic in front of him, and his heart was very nervous.

There was an impulse that prompted him to take Shiraishi Chiri's hand.

But the subconscious rationality is reminding yourself not to do anything out of the ordinary, so as not to make the relationship awkward.

Shiraishi may not refuse on the surface, but in her heart she resists this behavior.

After all, she is such a person, very gentle and considerate.

So in this case, Izumi Kurose is very entangled, and I don't know if I can pull it or not.

And their hands are so tentative.

Occasionally rubbed the back of the hand, occasionally put the fingers together, but in the end they couldn't get it.

Shiraishi Chiren did not refuse, nor did she take the initiative, but walked forward silently.

In this way, the two walked into the garden in Shinjuku Gyoen.

As far as the eye can see, there are verdant green forests, vast grasslands, artificial lakes and babbling waters.

These scenes isolate the hustle and bustle from the hustle and bustle, and only tranquility can be far-reaching.

This 58-hectare oasis in the heart of the city is a mix of Japanese, French and English gardens, making it an ideal place for picnics.

Not only that, but it is also the filming location of the famous anime "The Garden of Words".

Because it's spring and it's a weekend, there are a lot of people who come to visit.

It seems to have become an excuse - an excuse to drive Izumi Kurose to hold hands.

He tentatively reached over and gently grasped Shiraishi Chiren's tender little hand.

"That...... I feel like there are a lot of people...... It's ......"

Izumi Kurose stammered and tried to explain his actions, but it was reluctant and lame.

As for its lame excuse, Shiraishi Chiren only clenched her hand slightly.

And, take the initiative to insert his fingers between Izumi Kurose's fingers and interlock his ten fingers.

Then, she turned her head sideways, and under the delicate cherry blossom trees by the lake, she smiled like a flower road:

"If you want to hold hands, you can just say it. Maybe it's a fun experience, maybe not. ”
