At seven o'clock in the morning on the second day of the camp, Sakakihara Le, who was struggling to stand up in a half-asleep state, put on his disposable hotel slippers, yawned with his right hand, walked to the window, and opened the curtain.

"Whew!" Suddenly, the light shines through.

Sakakihara subconsciously closed his eyes, and when his eyes were slightly adjusted to the bright light of the early morning, he saw the scene in front of him.

Outside, verdant greenery and pools complement each other. Birds chirp in the branches, carp ripple on the water, this room is in a good location and the air is cool.

Sakakihara leated his hands on the side of the bed and took a breath of the cold air outside, emptying his mind.

He couldn't help but imagine that weather like this would be perfect for going out for a long run of several kilometers.

- Breathe in the cold air, run in the quiet forest, and even the new shoots and dew drops can be seen clearly.

It's beautiful.

It's a pity that it's not possible now.

I had to make breakfast for my two younger sisters.

Sakakihara took away his thoughts and flew into the blue sky, turned around, and saw the two girls who were still sleeping on the bed.

Tianhai Qimingyue's sleeping posture is very upright, which is in line with her usual slim temperament. Sakakihara Suzu was holding her, with her face on her shoulder, one leg on her body, and half of the quilt was turned over.

The movements are intimate, like good sisters.

Didn't the two quarrel at noon yesterday?

Reconciled again in a blink of an eye?

Maybe the girl's relationship is so strange.

While they were sleeping, Sakakihara went to the place where yesterday's dinner was made and spent half an hour preparing three bowls of ramen.

When I came out with a lunch box containing ramen, I met the front desk lady who was on night duty yesterday.

She bowed her head professionally and said hello:

"Mr. Sakakibara."

Sakakihara felt a little embarrassed to occupy the resources of the hotel in this way, and happened to be bumped into again, so he had to smile awkwardly:

"I'm sorry to use your stuff again, but I've cleaned up everything in the kitchen."

"Huh?" The front desk lady didn't expect him to apologize to herself, and waved her hands again and again, "It's okay, the store manager informed me last night, and the things in the store can be used by you casually, Mr. Sakakihara." ”

“？”

Now it's Sakakihara's turn to wonder... It stands to reason that a regular high-end inn with a pool and hot springs should have a very formal procedure and will not borrow things from customers.

As if seeing his doubts, the front desk lady smiled and explained:

"Before Miss Tianhai came here, the store manager specially instructed me to try my best to meet Miss Tianhai's request. And last night, before you came, Mr. Sakakihara, Miss Amami also informed me in advance, "A person surnamed Sakakihara will come soon, and if he needs to borrow anything, he can lend it to him." ’”

“...... You call her, Miss Amami? ”

"The store manager asked me to call me that, Mr. Sakakihara." The front desk lady said, "I guess Miss Tianhai should be the child of an acquaintance known to the store manager, and a girl with that kind of temperament can make people see the difference at a glance." ”

"I also think she has something to do with the owner of this shop."

The front desk lady smiled and nodded to Sakakihara, "If Mr. Sakakihara doesn't have any other questions, I'll go down and rest first, and someone else will take over at the front desk, so you can ask her if you need to." ”

"Oh, well, I'm fine."

"Hmm."

The front desk lady bowed her head and said goodbye, and walked to the pine staircase of the inn with an uncontrollable sleepiness.

Apparently on the night shift and didn't sleep well.

......

Sakakihara came out of the back kitchen, came to the front desk, and looked around at the hotel's antique, but somewhat modern decoration and decoration.

This is a high-end hotel where only rich people can live.

Even the clerk and store manager called Qi Mingyue Miss Tianhai...

You don't have to think about it, you can understand that this store is more or less related to the Tianhai family.

No wonder I borrowed the kitchen yesterday, it was so easy to borrow, and he had prepared a lot of words to convince the front desk lady......

Unexpectedly, it was Qi Mingyue who was secretly helping...

Speaking of which, it was also very sudden that he and Jiu Liuli were appointed by the school to participate in the mixed doubles competition.

In hindsight, did he feel even more strange?

Could it be that all this is Qi Mingyue secretly helping?

Sakakihara stopped in front of the wooden ladder, carrying the lunch box, took out his mobile phone, and found the phone number of "Tachibana Kiyohara" that he had left before.

He pressed the dial button.

After three rings of "Didi", the phone was connected.

"Tachibana... Headmaster. ”

"Oh? It turned out to be Xiaole, you don't need to see outside, it's okay to follow them to call me uncle in July, even if they are divorced, they are still my niece, and it's okay for you to call me uncle as their brother, it's too much to call the principal in private. ”

"Then I'll... Calling your uncle directly? ”

"Hmm. Xiaole, what is the matter with you calling so early? Is it a problem with the accommodation? Or is there something unreasonable about the juku? ”

"It's not about the co-ordination, it's about the mixed doubles."

Sakakihara didn't say everything he said, and Tachibana Kiyohara on the other end of the phone seemed to have informed him of what he meant.

"Xiaole wants to ask why the school chooses you and Liuli to participate in the competition alone, right?"

"Yes." Sakakihara thought that it was really enjoyable to talk to Principal Tachibana, he knew exactly what he wanted to ask, and he didn't beat around the bush.

"Hmm... This is something that July asked me to do. As the principal, she also came up with an explanatory report that I couldn't find a reason for refusal. In private and public, after all things considered, it is nothing to agree to this trivial matter. ”

"Is that so?"

"Haha, I think July is trying to help you. You don't have to think too much, and it's not that the school wants to embarrass you, Liuli is in the archery world, and Mr. Normal in the archery world praises her as 'extremely talented'. Xiaole, you should learn a lot from playing with her once, and July should have asked me for help for this reason. ”

"I see, well, thank you, uncle."

"It's okay, is there anything else going on besides this question?"

“... No, thank you, uncle. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, then I'll hang up first, and I should get up and take care of things."

"Okay, don't bother you, uncle."

"Hmm."

The phone hung up, Sakakihara put the phone back in his trouser pocket, and came to the door of 2-2 with the lunch box.

His head didn't seem to have woken up yet, and he was a little drowsy, and he couldn't remember anything clearly.

However, Qi Mingyue's sentence "I want to sleep with you" late last night made him remember it deeply.

Despite the fact that this sentence has been dismissed as a joke... But a beautiful girl runs to your bed in the middle of the night and says such a thing to you, you can't think about it or not......

What if she was serious?

What if she was joking, and she mistakenly thought she was serious?

......

There are many similar ideas.

Qi Mingyue will help herself in secret, which also shows that she is not exactly a little devil with only bad intentions.

She also cares about people, but she doesn't usually show it.

To Sakakihara Le said that he usually likes Qimingyue......

Quirky younger sister.

seems to be indifferent to everything, but in fact, deep down there will still be a little tenderness of her own.

If—

Click.

The door opened suddenly.

Tianhai Qimingyue appeared in front of her, and her hair didn't seem to be combed yet.

"Brother, is this staying at the door in a daze?"

Sakakihara lifted the lunch box and said with a smile, "I'm going downstairs to help you make food." ”

"What to do?" Tianhai Qi Mingyue glanced at it.

"Ramen."

The topic was abruptly interrupted for a while.

"Brother, is it like this every day? Wake up in the morning and make breakfast. ”

"Of course, we've known each other for almost two months, and we've been like that for most of the past two months."

"Aren't you tired?"

"Haha, this question, Jiu Liuli has asked me many times."

"That's what my sister asked, and now it's Qi Mingyue asking."

“... As I said before, it's okay to make your family happy. ”

"Is this part of my brother's gentleness?"

"It's up to you to define this, like Ah Ling did before, it's nothing to take for granted."

"A lot of things that are taken for granted have to be lost, so I feel cherished, and my sister-chan is because of the appearance of me and my sister, and there will be a sense of crisis... In other words, she began to realize that you are good, brother. ”

"I know, that's exactly how it feels lately."

said such a meaningless list, like a set before the topic.

Sakakihara decided to ask her about last night, "Qi Mingyue, you suddenly said to me last night. ”

Tianhai Qi Mingyue looked uninterested: "Brother thinks I like you?" ”

"It's better not—" Sakakihara looked at her very seriously.

Tianhai Qi Mingyue took a breath obviously, and then quickly relaxed, "It's really not. Now my brother's progress towards my sister is very good, and I should be able to get some special favors from my sister by talking about it today. ”

"Really, not?" Sakakihara could see that she was avoiding the topic.

"Brother is so suspicious, if I say now that I do like you, brother, how would you react?"

Sakakihara thought for a moment, "99% will think you're teasing me." ”

There was no trace of emotion on Tianhai Qimingyue's delicate face: "So, the answer is as simple as that." Besides, even if there is a 0.000001% probability that I really like you, brother, what can the result be? The elder brother likes the elder sister. ”

"That's right... But I still hope you don't think about it. ”

"It's my brother, don't think about it."

Seeing that the topic was over, Sakakihara raised the food box in his right hand again and said, "Let's eat ramen quickly, the taste will be much worse after soaking for a long time." ”

Tianhai Qi Mingyue moved out of the way, allowing him to have space to enter.

Before entering, Sakakihara Le glanced at the Seven Bright Moons of the Heavenly Sea again.

Her face is as beautiful and delicate as her sister's.

"Is there anything else you want to ask, brother?"

Sakakihara looked at her and asked, "Can I call you 'July'?" ”

Tianhai Qi Mingyue's expression changed for the first time, "Sister told you?" ”

"Yes, she said that this is your nickname, and it will be a lot more friendly to shout."

"That's good, but I refuse."

Sakakihara didn't ask the reason, and didn't look back at her dreamy and beautiful eyes, although the tone was ordinary, he might hear a little loss: "Then I'll call you Qimingyue, it's quite kind." ”

Tianhai Qi Mingyue watched him walk in with his own eyes, watched him put the lunch box on the small table, and brought out three bowls of ramen.

The difference in taste between these three bowls of ramen is evident.

Two red soups, one clear soup, and the bowl of clear soup is specially accompanied by a soup spoon.

He probably knew that he didn't like to drink soup with a bowl.

Brother, always pay attention to such details.

Tianhai Qi Mingyue couldn't tell how he felt at the moment.

But if you really want her to evaluate, the Sakakihara Le in front of her is someone who will be willing to understand herself except for her sister...

Bandage the ankle twice, back once, hold the ..... twice

And, a long, long time ago......

Looking at his back, which was a little taller than himself, Tianhai Qi Mingyue inexplicably recalled these in his heart.

Like?

I don't like it, but it's true that I have a good feeling.

"I'll wake up Ah Ling, come and eat." Sakakihara Raku turned to her and said.

"Hmm."

Tianhai Qi Mingyue nodded lightly, and put all those thoughts back into her stomach.

She looked at the bowl of fragrant ramen and thought to herself, no wonder her sister kept saying to herself that her brother was a very good person...

Never mind.

Tianhai Qimingyue shook his head again.

What to do with such a heavy mind, some things do not have to be.

Take advantage of the trip and sit in the shade and read a book.

——————————

In the morning, the camping practice was carried out in an orderly manner.

After lunch, at two o'clock in the afternoon, today's arrangement was as promised by Tianhai Jiuliuli.

Mr. Sakahara gathered everyone together and explained that the school had agreed to the request for some practice time to prepare the ingredients for the barbecue.

In other words, from now on, everyone can disbanded and go to the street to buy ingredients.

Take whatever you want!

And all the bills are paid by Minister Tianhai!!

The entire archery department boiled for a moment, cheering in unison:

"Minister Tianhai!"

"Minister Tianhai!"

"Minister Tianhai!!"

"Minister Amami is onboard!!"

"Minister Amami is onboard!!"

"Okay, okay," Tianhai Jiu Liuli smiled and told everyone: "Don't take too much food, it's a waste if you can't finish eating, and remember to take some drinks and other things, there are barbecue grills and coal hotels, so you don't need to prepare." ”

"Good!"

"Great!"

"Woo woo wow wow!!"

The boy's voice was like that of a stimulant Guinea baboon, so wild that many girls with longbows made fun of them like monkeys.

The boys didn't care what the girls said, the people they knew, held hands, took three or two big steps and went out to buy ingredients together.

There are also girls who want to call Tianhai Jiuliuli to buy barbecue ingredients together, but she refused, on the grounds that she wanted to accompany her two younger sisters who came here to travel.

"Huh?! Isn't the minister here to be alone with Sakakihara-kun? ”

"Not really." In the face of ridicule, Tianhai Jiu Ruri smiled generously and said, "Sakakihara-kun is also a member of my sister's department, he was just called by her to help together, and now I want to go over to find the two of them." ”

"That's the minister's sister likes Sakakihara-kun, right?"

This question made Tianhai Jiu Liuli hesitate for a moment, because based on her observation, Qi Mingyue seemed to have some good feelings for her brother.

If you want to say you like it, you can't say it's too good.

It's just a very intimate degree.

"It doesn't count," Tianhai Jiu Liuli said.

Another girl took the arm of the talking girl and persuaded, "Okay, okay, there are some things that can't be asked casually!" Maybe even the minister doesn't know, so don't embarrass the minister. ”

"Oh, yes, yes, thank you, Your Excellency, for inviting us to have a barbecue today!" The girl immediately made a naval salute, but it was not standard.

"Haha, Shiori-chan, your hands are reversed."

"Huh?! Is that so, haha, no matter, minister, let's go out to buy ingredients first, and when I came, I really wanted to try the fish here, I heard that it was very fresh! ”

"Okay."

"Goodbye, see you in the evening, Minister."

"Goodbye."

Tianhai Jiu Liuli beckoned to the last two, looked into the bow dojo twice, and after confirming that there was no one, he walked out of the side door.

She put on her slippers, closed the door, and soon spotted Sakakihara squatting by the stream outside the bamboo fence.

She leaned sideways, glanced twice in that direction, and walked over.

......

On the banks of the creek is a small embankment made of stone, and on this side is a private archery dojo, opposite the bamboo forest.

The water is about a meter above the ground, and there is a small stone bridge in the middle for people to walk around. The stones and crevices were covered with green moss.

Sakakihara was a little uneasy at this time, holding a dog tail grass in his hand, half of the soles of his feet were hanging outside, and his body followed the dog tail grass in his hand and swayed.

He stared at the fluctuating reflection in the stream, thinking about the matter of Qi Mingyue in the morning, and also thinking about how to open his mouth to comfort Jiu Liuli.

After practicing the bow for a day, he couldn't find any opportunity to talk about quarreling and take the opportunity to comfort Jiu Liuli.

The camouflage of Tianhai Jiuliu's expression is almost leaky.

Still so sunny and serious.

I can't see a little bit of loss, so Sakakihara has to wonder, is she really sad?

Sakakihara's body shook more and more. The feeling of wandering around the river is strangely interesting, as if you are about to fall but you can't fall, and you can relax your mind.

He was so engrossed that he didn't notice that Tianhai Jiuliuli had walked behind him.

He continued to swing his body by the stream.

Tianhai Jiuliuli was a little curious about what his brother was thinking, so he reached out and patted him on the shoulder normally.

"Who?!"

Suddenly, someone tapped him on the shoulder behind his back, and Sakakihara was of course taken aback.

He reflexively wanted to stand up, but half of his feet were hanging outside, and when he got up, the moss-covered stone directly made his whole body lose his center of gravity.

Finished...

Sakakihara looked at the stream below, and thought to himself a moment before it fell.

Tianhai Jiu Liuli was also frightened by his movements, and found that he had lost his balance, and wanted to quickly reach out and grab him.

"Alas! Brother! ”

"Jiuliuli, don't! Don't pull me! ”

———————

"This is it." Sakakihara Suzu probed left and right, holding her mobile phone to shoot bamboo everywhere, "I didn't expect the place where they stayed together was quite beautiful, there were paths, bamboo forests, and streams, take more pictures for Tianno to see." ”

Tianhai Qimingyue, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, and Suzu Sakakihara, who was looking around, bumped into her back.

"Hmm... Why stop suddenly. Suzu Sakakihara closed her eyes and looked up suspiciously.

Tianhai Qi Mingyue didn't reply, just stood on the stone bridge, and looked at the bottom of the bridge with blank eyes.

"Why don't you say anything, what are you looking at?"

Sakakihara Suzu walked over, and in confusion, followed her line of sight and looked in that direction.

That picture directly made her cover her mouth and laugh.
