"I'm done with all my exams, come and clean up the textbooks in the classroom."

Mio Izumi smiled, "We also have classrooms in Building No. 4."

This is basically the case in universities, where classes are held in different buildings and have their own small classrooms for specialized classes and self-study.

The lecture halls are mostly public, and they are taught in public or elective courses.

Because only your own class will use the small classroom, there are some unimportant textbooks that can be placed in the table hole for the next class, and over time, the textbooks of professional courses and some writing and drawing in self-study classes will be left in the small classroom.

This is indeed convenient for weekdays, but it also troubles the end of the period...... I've got to clean it up.

"I see."

Naoki Natsume nodded thoughtfully, but he was thinking about something else.

He was paying attention to this when he found out about the senior sister, and the senior sister seemed to be ...... No crutches.

"That's Senpai, are you here with Senpai Tosaka?" As he spoke, he looked up.

In the morning, I seem to have seen Megumi Tosaka with Mio Izumi.

Mio Izumi shook her head slightly, "No, Megumi her...... If you have your own business, come and leave with me."

After that, she clenched her little hand a little nervously, probably because she was afraid of being discovered by Natsume-kun, so she quietly grasped the left hand and hid it under the book.

The always kind senior sister is still too immature to tell lies.

Naoki Natsume asked again, "Sister, your feet aren't okay yet?"

"yes, Nanami School Doctor told me that I need to recuperate for at least a week before I can walk on the ground."

As she spoke, she shook her bandaged foot.

When Naoki Natsume's gaze was drawn to her feet, she looked up at him with a slight smile, revealing a few white teeth.

It's like a little girl in kindergarten showing her handiwork to her favorite teacher......

Really, Natsume Naoki smiled a little helplessly, thinking that there was nothing to show off when she was injured, and the mentality of the senior sister was really good.

"Since you can't walk, senior sister, how inconvenient is it to stay here alone...... Are you waiting for Tosaka-senpai to come back?"

Mio Izumi's left index finger rested on her chin and thought, "I'm afraid it's going to be late...... But it's okay, I can read and wait for her."

Quietly glanced at Naoki Natsume with his peripheral vision, thinking to himself, Natsume-kun, you must not just leave.

As long as you're willing to speak......

Naoki Natsume untied his schoolbag and put it on his legs, thinking to himself that there was such a coincidence?

But I always felt that something was wrong.

When I saw the senior sister in the morning, it was clear that the senior sister was on crutches.

What about crutches?

Could it be that the senior sister did it on purpose?

But the fact that he brought a crutch should also be known to Asai and the little rich woman......

Thinking about it, Kitahara Hayato's face appeared in his mind.

sighed silently, it turned out that it was the Hayato guy who said it.

So, waiting for Megumi Tosaka or something is a lie.

Naoki Natsume watched her senior sister secretly look at her nervousness and anticipation, and her heart suddenly warmed.

I can't bear to break this lie.

"Actually, I have a ...... here."

"Huh? Why would Natsume-kun carry such a thing?"

Just as Naoki Natsume opened his mouth and unzipped his schoolbag and was about to take out the crutches, Mio Izumi, who had been tense with his nerves, suddenly pretended to be surprised and asked.

Can......

At this time, Naoki Natsume had just opened the zipper, and his hand touched it in and held the crutch, and he hadn't even taken it out yet.

The two of them glanced at each other, and then immediately after that, Mio Izumi's face turned red!

"It's not...... I...... That ......."

The senior sister waved her little hand again and again, her heart beating

Plopped, didn't dare to look at Naoki Natsume, tilted his head to the side.

"Because it's for the senior sister."

Naoki Natsume actually answered the senior sister's question very seriously, with a smile on his face, and he was in his prime, "The senior sister hurt her foot, I thought about it when I was packing my schoolbag this morning, and I thought that I had a pair of crutches. I didn't think much about whether I could use it, and I didn't even think about whether my senior sister would have an exam today or whether she would come to school...... By the time I reacted, the crutch was already in my bag."

He pointed to his forehead, and then slowly moved his fingers down to his chest, centering to the left: "It means that compared to my brain, at that moment the mind dominated my movements."

"So," Mio Izumi asked in a low voice, "Natsume-kun's crutch, did you bring it to me?"

"I don't know exactly what happened to Senpai before I came, but ......" Naoki Natsume still took out the crutch, opened it one by one like a folding ruler, and handed it to Mio Izumi on the ground, "If Senpai-sen is willing to use it, I'll be very happy."

With that, he stood up and held out his hand towards Mio Izumi.

Mio Izumi pursed her lips and took the hand that had appeared in her dreams countless times without hesitation.

It's just that in those dreams, this hand is either holding a bouquet or a ring.

Now there is nothing in this hand, but Izumi Mio still feels happier than any dream-

Because what she saw was real, the temperature of her palms and the emotions conveyed made her sink.

Love is bright and gorgeous, trapping Amamiya Chizuru and Mio Izumi.

Naoki Natsume took her senpai's hand and pulled her up and helped her with her crutches.

"Where's my sister's classroom?"

「326。」

"Let's take the spiral ladder, it's a little wider."

"Listen to Natsume-kun!"

From Naoki Natsume sitting down to the two of them leaving, it didn't take long.

The boys in the surrounding hall who had been lured by the moonlight reading in the corner had not dispersed.

Under their watchful eye, Naoki Natsume helped Mio Izumi up the third floor from the spiral staircase one by one, and then disappeared.

It was only at this moment that they were stunned, shook their heads at each other, and left a little disappointed.

"Hey, it's okay after the exam, how about going to the video game mall near the station to play the electric game? Or go to an internet café and play a pie."

"No, I've got something."

"What's the matter?"

"I'm going to buy a pair of crutches...... It turns out that the essence of pickling girls is to carry a crutch with them. If I had a folding stick in my schoolbag just now, wouldn't I be the one who is accompanying the school flower now?"

"Wake up, I beg you not to act like a ***. Why don't you look in the mirror before you think about it?"

"Look in the mirror? There don't seem to be mirrors around here...... I'll go home and take it again, don't say so much, accompany me to buy crutches first."

「……」

In classroom 326, in addition to Mio Izumi, there are two girls who are cleaning up their things.

Perhaps he didn't expect that there would be acquaintances in the classroom, and Mio Izumi blushed and said hello to them.

The two girls looked at Naoki Natsume, who was holding Mio Izumi, and their eyes lit up.

whispered about Naoki Natsume's handsomeness and the match with Mio Izumi, and hurriedly packed up his things and left.

Being a light bulb is not a good habit.

After waiting for everyone to leave, Mio Izumi fanned the wind with the palm of her hand, feeling that her face was a little hot: "The two of them are classmates in the same culture class teaching group as me...... It's all a joke between friends, and Natsume-kun doesn't have to take it seriously."

"What's the joke?" Naoki Natsume smiled, "You mean that I and Senpai are a couple's joke?"

Mio Izumi was a little shy and didn't answer.

Naoki Natsume tilted his head and asked, "Senior sister, do you think this is a joke?"
