Naoki Natsume was stunned for a moment, and then a happy smile appeared on his face.

This smile also reveals the pride of being favored.

He walked up to her senior sister, gently pulled up her scarf, and helped her tidy up her slightly messy collar.

Every time I think of my senior sister, every time I see my senior sister's shyness, it always reminds Naoki Natsume of a girl in the south-

The village in the north lives a girl from the south.

She always likes to stand by the side of the road in a floral dress, she doesn't talk much, but her smile is so calm and elegant.

Tokyo is in the south of Hokkaido, and compared to the senpai from Tokyo, she is indeed a southern girl in a northern city.

The senior sister has a passion and generosity that is different from this snow country, and she has a dignified and virtuous lady who is endearing.

"It's for you to choose a favorite flavor, not a favorite person."

"Do you know that my favorite person is you?" Senior sister's big eyes blinked.

"Of course," Naoki Natsume smiled slightly and touched Senpai's head dotingly, "I know everything about you, and I will keep all your little habits in mind." ”

was rubbed by his younger junior brother like this, caressing the top of his head, but the senior sister felt warm in her heart.

What girl doesn't like to be touched by a boy she loves?

No one will refuse.

So she smiled, pointed to the chocolate-flavored ice cream and said, "Then please have a chocolate ice cream ball!" How much does it cost? ”

"500 yen, thank you for your patronage."

The clerk scooped a huge ice cream ball and put it on top of the egg rolls, and the smile was worth 100 yen.

Seeing that the senior sister was about to take out the money, Naoki Natsume had already taken the lead in taking out her wallet, and said with a smile: "Didn't you say that you would be invited to eat ice cream as a punishment?" Where can you pay for it...... It turns out that the senior sister likes the taste of chocolate, and she doesn't usually eat chocolate. ”

"Everything sweet, to be exact, I don't eat chocolate because I get fat."

The senior sister hummed a little song generously, and suddenly she thought about it, and looked at Naoki Natsume with a red face: "Naoki-kun knows that I like chocolate-flavored ice cream, and I have long known that the person I like is you, so I also want to know Naoki-kun's favorite flavor...... You see, to exchange for equal value! It's too cunning for only Naoki-kun to remember everything about me, and I want to know everything about Naoki-kun too! ”

"Equivalent exchange...... Senior sister, you are not a Libra, why bother so much. Naoki Natsume smiled helplessly, "Well, my favorite flavor is cherry." ”

For some reason, when I think of cherries, Naoki Natsume thinks of the cherry hard candy sold in Grandma Muto's coarse confectionery shop on the banks of the Kanda River in the summer heat.

The sweet taste is like a girl's first kiss, sweet and fresh.

Just as Natsume Naoki was recalling the sweetness of the cherry on his lips, he didn't notice that Mio Izumi was staring at him with an expectant look.

"What's wrong with Senior Sister?" When he came back to his senses, he found that the hope in his senior sister's eyes was getting heavier and heavier, and he was about to come to his eyes with his feet crossed, so he chuckled and asked, "I've only seen this look when I gave you a chinchilla pendant...... Like a little girl looking forward to a birthday cake. ”

"Is that all?"

"What?"

"My favorite flavor is cherry!"

"Or else?"

"Naoki-kun did it on purpose, I'm not happy, hum!"

The senior sister licked the chocolate ice cream ball and followed Naoki Natsume to the train, and after the two of them sat down, she was still puffed up.

Although I know that with the temperament of the senior sister, I will not act like other girls, and I will throw my face cold and violent, but the senior sister's pretending to be angry is so cute that Natsume Naoki actually knows what the senior sister means, but he just doesn't want to poke her.

In this way, when the senior sister found out that Natsume Naoki had been watching her fun, she realized that her Naoki-kun had already seen through her careful thinking and deliberately made her happy here.

So Izumi Mio blushed violently, so angry and embarrassed that she didn't know how to vent it...... Is it too shameful to stomp your feet in public?

So she took a big bite of ice cream viciously, as if the ice cream was Naoki-kun who was full of bad intentions, but her teeth were so cold and uncomfortable.

Seeing that the senior sister was so angry that she couldn't vent her anger with food, Naoki Natsume became more and more happy, and it can be regarded as experiencing the happiness of Asai when she was a fun person.

"Okay, okay, why should senior sister take ice cream to get angry, it's not me, I won't hurt if you bite it."

"You're going to hurt me, and I'm reluctant to bite it." Mio Izumi lowered her eyebrows and muttered to herself, looking at the ice cream ball with a tooth mark in her hand.

"I hear you." Naoki Natsume reached out and touched her senior sister's head again, and said softly, "Isn't senior sister just wanting to know who I like the most in my heart?" Then I'll put it bluntly, no one will have the person who likes the most and most important in their hearts. Is dad or mom more important? Is grandpa better or grandma better? Senpai can't tell who her favorite person is, right? ”

Naoki Natsume paused and continued, "So in people's hearts, all the people you meet in this life have a grade. And Senpai is among my favorite people...... Similar to Mom and Dad, it is a very important and important category in this life, and it is a person who wants to go through the rest of his life together. ”

At this time, the train passed through the town, heading from Shiraishi Ward towards Hakodate, passing a large residential area that was blocked by light, and then came to the edge of the field.

The snow-white wilderness reflected the daylight and instantly lit up the entire carriage.

The cold wind was broken by the tram and turned into a cool breeze.

Mio Izumi only felt that at the moment when the light suddenly rose, her heart seemed to be hit by Naoki-kun's words, and the weight of the original words was so much.

She jerked her head up at Naoki Natsume, his shoulders gilded by the sun, so dazzling.

The boy you like is the sun!

"Uh-huh!" Mio Izumi nodded, very moved, moved to the point that her nose was red, "Me too!" Naoki-kun is also someone I want to spend the rest of my life with! ”

There's nothing more beautiful than that.

Mio Izumi didn't know that in her eyes, the silhouette of the boy was gilded and warmly shining, while in Naoki Natsume's eyes, she was also draped in a golden veil, and her hair was blown by the breeze, like aquatic plants floating in the sun of a shoal, beautiful and moving.

Naoki Natsume squeezed Senpai's hand with his backhand, and the two of them sat on the train to Hakodate.

【Hakodate Main Line】Passing through the Totoshima Peninsula, you can see snow-covered forests and land most of the time, but when you look at the right time, you can see the sparkling sea.

Senpai gently rested her head on Naoki Natsume's shoulder.

This shoulder is strong enough to lean on for a lifetime, and she also hopes to lean on it for a lifetime from the bottom of her heart.

"Naoki-kun."

"Huh?"

"I used to fantasize about the future in my mind, but that was a long time ago. I think that if I want to be proposed, I have to be at the moment when the Ferris wheel reaches its peak. ”

"That's right."

"So...... Let's go on the Ferris wheel, shall we? ”
