On the other side, after the end of the swimming training, when Naoki Natsume and her senior sister came out of the swimming pool, the sunset was already only afterglow.

"Hmm~"

Mio Izumi grabbed her right arm with her left hand and stretched out her waist, making a refreshing sound.

"Sure enough, it's still the pool in the school," she said, "it's spacious, the water quality is good, and the most important thing is that there are no rude people." ”

"When Senior Sister practices in the swimming pool outside, do you often meet that kind of person?"

"Not much, but it's dangerous to meet a child crossing the lane once in a while...... Huh? Natsume-kun, how do you know I'm looking for a place to practice outside of school? ”

Mio Izumi looked at Naoki Natsume in surprise.

He scratched his head and told the truth, "There are a few times when I saw it, and the others I heard it from Senpai Tosaka." ”

"Xiaohui her...... Will I talk to you about me often? Mio Izumi was slightly nervous.

She was afraid that Xiaohui's big and arrogant character would say anything casually, but she knew a lot of black history.

"Not really." Naoki Natsume shook his head, "It's just that sometimes I go to the sports club to find you, and I happen to meet Sister Tosaka, and she will talk to me for a few words." ”

"That's good, that's good." Mio Izumi patted her chest with her small hand and breathed a sigh of relief.

What if Xiaohui forgot to comb her hair when she got up late in the morning and went to train with her messy hair?

If you think about it, it's all inconsequential little things, but Izumi Mio just doesn't want these embarrassing little things to be known by Natsume-kun.

"It must have been very hard for senior sister to go out to train a few days ago." Naoki Natsume asked, "I hope I didn't disturb my senior sister in those days." ”

"Huh? Natsume-kun, you didn't want to delay my time after school some time ago, so you ...... Acting so coldly? ”

"Apathy?" Naoki Natsume thought for a moment: "Maybe, it's true that sometimes I leave without waiting for you to answer...... Because I really don't want you to be distracted. If I delay the senior sister competition, I will definitely regret it. ”

What, it turns out that I've always thought about it too much.

Mio Izumi put her little hands behind her back, lowered her eyebrows and thought softly in her heart, the corners of her mouth unconsciously hooked up a smile.

It's good today.

It was probably the best day since I went to college.

The two of them walked slowly, like a walk, to the school gate.

As the sun set, the shadows of the two of them were stretched to the elder, and a golden scarf was draped over them.

After that sudden hug in the swimming pool, they didn't notice that they were already side by side, walking in unison.

There was a conversation without a ride, and the closer he got to the school gate and Izumi Mio, the more uneasy he became.

"That...... Natsume-kun? ”

"What's wrong, senior sister."

"Ah, it's fine."

Mio Izumi looked at his smiling side face, pursed her lips and withdrew her gaze, her eyes a little anxious and expectant......

When I was in the sports club before, Natsume-kun, didn't you say that you wanted to invite me to dinner after going swimming?

Said that there is a shop in the school that you have always thought is very good, and you want to recommend it to me.

But this is about to leave the school, why don't you open your mouth......

It's in a hurry, it's in a hurry.

She looked up at the school gate that was still dozens of steps away, and sighed slightly in her heart.

It's a shame that it's almost complete today.

Naoki Natsume thinks that today is quite complete, and he will probably be able to get a good night's sleep when he goes home.

"Goo~"

There was a slight rattle in his stomach, and he was slightly embarrassed.

At noon, I patronized the materials of the painting training, and I ate too little, and now it is almost dark and I haven't eaten a bite, and I have gone to the swimming pool to consume a lot of physical strength.

Fortunately, the senior sister shouldn't have heard it, and the voice was quite small.

Huh?

Dine?

Naoki Natsume frowned and thought about it, as if he had told Asai before leaving at noon that he would not go back to eat.

Oh yes!

Ask the senior sister to have dinner at school!

"That, Senpai." He looked at the trend that had already reached the school gate, and didn't know whether to open this opening.

Mio Izumi's ears had been sticking up, but when she heard him speak, she immediately stopped and took two steps back.

"What a coincidence, I'm hungry too!"

She said without thinking, and then went to take his hand and go back to the cafeteria.

This cheerful tone made Naoki Natsume stunned for a moment.

"Senior sister, did you hear that?"

"Hear what?" Mio Izumi had a puzzled expression.

Naoki Natsume thought to herself, I thought that you heard my stomach screaming, so I said that.

Then why does the senior sister look so much looking forward to it?

Forget it, it doesn't matter.

The important thing is that the senior sister said that she was also hungry.

"I know there's a delicious beef curry rice, do you want to try it?"

"Okay, okay...... In which restaurant? ”

"The one near the lecture hall."

"Oh~ I often go over there, so I probably know which one Natsume-kun is talking about."

The cafeteria at the university is usually open until late, and although there are no dormitory students in Waseda, there are students who come to class at eight or nine o'clock in the evening.

At this time, there were not many people in the cafeteria, after all, it had been a long time since the club activities had ended, and the meal had already passed.

Fortunately, the hot meal in the cafeteria window is still fragrant.

Naoki Natsume ordered his usual favorite set meal, and the senior sister asked him for the same paragraph, and he said that he tried the recommendation of the junior brother, but he was actually tasting whether the taste of the two people was the same.

"Hmm~ it's delicious."

After sitting down, the two of them said pre-dinner prayers, and the senior sister ate a spoonful of sticky rice mixed with curry, and the light in her eyes flashed visibly.

"Xiaohui and I often come here to eat, but we haven't tasted this one much." Mio Izumi whispered as she ate.

Naoki Natsume nodded, of course he knew that Senior Sister often came here to eat, and the two of them met a lot in the cafeteria last year, but at that time, in order not to be discovered Senior Sister's little secret, the two of them pretended not to know each other in school.

"It's good to be able to match the taste of the senior sister." Naoki Natsume also took a big bite of rice, thinking that today's curry rice was particularly delicious.

I don't know if it's because I'm sitting face to face with my senior sister or because I'm hungry.

Mio Izumi felt a little shy at first sitting across from Naoki Natsume, but when she looked at Naoki Natsume closely, she didn't have any mustard at all, as if she was used to eating and drinking in the same room with girls.

This made Mio Izumi quietly keep an eye in his heart.

So cute childhood sweetheart, which sentence are you lying to me?

"Does Natsume-kun like curry?"

"Not really, it's just that the curry here is spicy enough." Naoki Natsume told the truth.

"Do you like spicy food?"

"Well, there are still too few spicy dishes in Japan."

"Eh~ This is said as if Natsume-kun has been abroad."

"Senior sister, let's just think I've been abroad."

"That ......" Mio Izumi pursed her lips, glanced to the side casually, and pretended to ask casually, "Is there any dish that Natsume-kun likes the most?" ”

"Hot dry noodles!"

Naoki Natsume replied immediately, blurting out without even thinking.

Mio Izumi looked at his very serious expression and was slightly stunned: "What is that?" ”

"Chinese food."

"Oh ~ Chinese Cuisine!" Mio Izumi flashed a light bulb in her mind, showed a cute smile, and replied, "Little Master of China!" ”

Naoki Natsume smiled as he watched her senpai's cute reaction.

I thought that Chinese cuisine is quite popular in Japan.

They yearn for and respect Chinese cuisine, but in fact, they are not used to eating the real eight cuisines, and they can only promote them locally by reinventing themselves.

Every time he thinks about it, he will sigh that it is a miracle that Asai can make such authentic hot dry noodles, and every time he eats Chinese food made by Asai, he can suddenly remember the taste of his previous life.

I forgot to ask where I learned Chinese food, but I can learn it myself if I have the chance. Naoki Natsume thought to himself.

But even if he asked Asai, he wouldn't say anything, he would just let her sigh softly, and then continue with the heavy housework, leaving a slightly guilty figure.
