The boys' bathroom after the barbecue in the evening.

A few boys in the club who had a better relationship swarmed into the old-fashioned bathroom of the hotel. Accompanied by their incomplete singing voices and the noise of competing for the lotus shower, Xiao Lin Darkai, who could hear their movements lying in the dormitory, frowned.

He sat up cross-legged with his hands on his knees, his eyes closed, and his whole body exuded a terrible rage like the King of Fudo.

"I can't understand why any man likes to huddle in a bathroom and take a shower."

"That's right, that's right."

Kamihara agreed.

Boys take a bath together, so don't they let other men see everything?

If you accidentally react to the hot water rinse, maybe there will be some inexplicable inferiority complex that begins to permeate the bathroom mist.

In order for everyone in the club to have their own male self-confidence, Kamihara will never mix with their bathing games.

As for someone who asked him, what would happen if you participated?

Kamihara Rakukai replied, "Good question! It just happened to be enough for me to write a haiku. ”

Therefore, Kamihara was happy to pick up the pen in his heart, imagining the brush wantonly swaying vigorous characters on the rice paper.

The results came out soon -

[Hot water drenches, roosters crow, men in the bathroom, silence]

That's pretty much the picture of this haiku.

Uh-huh, Kamihara felt more and more talented.

- Although this picture is very weird.

Kamihara decided not to include this haiku in his tanka collection.

"Senior Kobayashi, I'll go out."

"What are you going out for?"

"Run."

"Running ......"

Xiao Lin couldn't help but look at the figure of the man in front of him, with a delicate figure and a solid temperament, and the arms and legs under the short sleeves of the shorts had obvious muscle outlines.

At first glance, he is the kind of person who can exercise for a long time.

He shook his head and said, "To be honest, I envy your figure... No wonder you can pull more than 100 arrows a day, do you know what those boys say you are? Monsters, Reiwa monsters. ”

“... What's the latter one? Achievement titles? ”

"It's just everyone's admiration after seeing your strength improve by leaps and bounds. The results ranked third in the joint monthly test, excellent in learning, good sports, not bad in appearance, and even very good. Girls don't miss you as a talking point during their breaks. ”

Xiao Lin secretly raised his eyes and looked at him:

"The point is that your barbecue is delicious tonight, I don't know if you understand how much a boy who can cook is a plus in the eyes of a girl, just half an hour after that, five girls have asked me if you have ever been in love."

"Really?"

"That's it."

Senior Kobayashi said such an exaggeration, and Kamihara was embarrassed.

But when you think about it, these are the facts.

"Then if someone asks the seniors again, please help me vaguely convey the idea that I am not in a relationship at the moment."

"I understand."

"Okay, then I'll go out for a night run. If I don't come back in the evening, the senior won't have to wait. ”

"Huh? Are you going to stay up all night? Mr. Sakahara will count the number of people. ”

"It's fine." Kamihara smiled, "He'll help me explain." ”

“......”

Kobayashi is Kobayashi's brother.

And their father is now the Minister of Education.

In other words, he understands many of the relationships that are secretly in the school.

"Sure enough, not everyone is used to living together." He sighed.

"Haha, that senior, I'm out."

"Okay."

After simply saying hello to the senior, Kamihara walked out of the hotel. He glanced at the time and trotted all the way down the street to a pharmacy with the lights on superbrightly.

The first thing I said when I saw the boss was: "I have eaten too much food, my stomach is swollen, what medicine can I take?" ”

The drugstore owner, who wore round glasses and a brown suit vest, gave him a box of medicines, a matching small plastic wrapped spoon.

"Eat this, three times a day, one spoonful at a time."

"I'm in trouble."

"1,200 yen."

After paying, Kamihara walked out of the pharmacy and stepped down the stairs. He looked at the name of the stomach medicine by the light in the drugstore.

[Amami Stomach San]

Well..... I accidentally bought something from my own home.

Bored on the road, Shenyuan Le easily checked the market value of [Tianhai Life Pharmaceutical] on the Internet.

Numbers start with "4".

One, ten, hundred, thousand...

Millions, billions, trillions......

Kamihara turned it off directly, and the phone ran away.

Well, just a fraction, this is the money that you can't get for a hundred lifetimes of struggle.

Trillions.

If you give 100 million to ordinary people, you don't know how to spend it.

Although he doesn't usually use the system much, Kamihara is still trying to save points by running with Jiu Liuli.

It's been two million yen.

Two million, four trillion.

Well, it seems like it's only a little bit off.

Speaking of which, Uncle Tianhai and his mother have remarried for a while, and they haven't seen Qi Mingyue and Jiu Liuli's grandfather yet.

As the group chairman of such a large pharmaceutical company.

Kamihara Le guessed that his aura would be very sufficient.

Thinking about it again, Qi Mingyue said that it was possible for him to inherit the trillion assets of the Tianhai family.

It's a lot of pressure.

......

Tianhai Qimingyue opened the door and found that Kamihara seemed to be hiding something.

......

"What are you doing?"

"Uh... Should I say good evening? ”

"Where's the medicine?"

Kamihara Le handed the medicine to her with his left hand, "Ah Ling didn't vomit, did he?" ”

Tianhai Qi Mingyue only glanced at the name of the medicine, and gave it to him: "I didn't vomit, I just shouted that my stomach hurts." ”

Kamihara walked into the room, and the big TV was broadcasting a variety show at night.

And Suzu Kamihara shrank on the bed with a painful face. When she saw Kamihara, she opened her eyes and called out to him:

"Brother......

"Now you know how to call brother?"

"Hmm... Well, I've always respected my brother. ”

Kamihara only gave her a roll of the eyes, if it weren't for my own sister, I would almost believe it.

The stomach hurts and you blink at me, it doesn't hurt you!

Kamihara turned around and helped her boil some hot water, and sat down beside her bed with the medicine.

"Brother is so nice..."

"Alright, sit up."

Suzu Kamihara was very obedient at this time and sat up obediently.

She had her hands between her legs, and her face was not very good, and she looked very uncomfortable.

Kamihara still feels a little sorry for her.

"Take it."

“......”

"Why don't you take it?"

"Brother..."Suzu Kamihara once again played to her voice acting strengths.

Kamihara's goosebumps were about to rise, and he wanted to quickly dig out the roots of his ears: "...... No matter how old you are, you have to feed it and eat it yourself. ”

Kamihara Suzuma chirped, reluctantly took a spoonful of medicinal powder from his hand, and muttered the words "Jiuliuli has fed you", and put the medicinal powder in his mouth at once.

Then she was in trouble, because the water in the bowl had just been boiled, it was very hot, and she couldn't drink it directly, and Tianhai's stomach was bitter and bitter. As soon as the taste melted in his mouth, not to mention his tongue, Suzu Kamihara's whole face was bitter.

"Hmm! Bitter! Bitter!

”

Kamihara sighed: "What a fool. ”

Kamihara went to get a bottle of drinking mineral water, cooled the hot water in the bowl, and fed the water to her mouth with his own hands.

Kamihara Ling took a sip and turned her head to the air: "Bah, why is this medicine so bitter?"

Kamihara Le turned around and looked at the seven bright moons of the sky and sea.

Tianhai Qimingyue: "There are magnesium sulfate, calcium carbonate and gentian in it, and it is not normal if it is not bitter." ”

Kamihara looked back: "That's it. ”

"Slightly..."Suzu Kamihara stuck out her tongue, "but I still feel that my tongue is so bitter, this taste is too strange..."

"I can't help it."

Kamihara said helplessly, and then peeled a piece of candy for her and fed it to her little mouth, which made the situation better.

“... Why are you biting my finger? ”

"I accidentally bitten it"

"Forget it... Are you feeling better? ”

"I don't know, how can there be a medicine that works just after taking it. And my stomach is so uncomfortable, why don't you help me rub my belly? ”

Suzu Kamihara's words must have been abrupt to others. But for Kamihara Le, Ah Ling has had a stomachache since she was a child, and she has helped her rub it, rubbing and rubbing it, and she has become accustomed to it.

"Don't, I'm afraid I'll touch something hard in your stomach."

"What is hard?"

"What food is when it's digested, that's what it is."

Suzu Kamihara took five seconds to figure out this question, and slapped him in shame, "Disgusting! ”

"Haha."

"As compensation, you can help me rub my stomach, it's so uncomfortable."

"It used to work, but now it doesn't."

"I don't mind if there's anything wrong."

"You don't mind, but I do."

When Suzu Kamihara heard this, he looked at him again, as if he had thought of something, and said in a tone that was neither happy nor disappointed, "Got it......"

Suzu Kamihara only felt that many things in the past were far away from him.

"I'll go take a shower first."

"Oh, good."

Shen Yuanle turned around, only to find that the seven bright moons of the heavenly sea did not know when they were gone.

Kamihara thought she was going outside to breathe, so she didn't pay too much attention to it and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Ten minutes later, Kamihara Le came out of the bathroom, and still didn't see the seven bright moons of the heavenly sea.

"Didn't Qi Mingyue come back?"

"Nope." The TV in front of the bed was playing, and Suzu Kamihara was lying on the sofa playing with her phone, and the tone of her answer was very casual.

"Then your stomach is better."

"It's better."

"Go to bed early, don't play with your phone."

"yes, I see."

Seeing that the condition of Kamihara Ling was indeed better, Kamihara changed his clothes and went out to find Qi Mingyue.

He descended the pine staircase and through the hall to the pond in the front yard of the inn.

The garden is elegant, with the light of the square lanterns setting off the sturdy pine trees from below, the pond is covered with fallen leaves, and under the night sky, the carp inside are quietly huddled in the corner, as if listening to the cicadas of early summer.

Kamihara walked around the pond and stepped through the stones placed in small sections of the pond to the atrium. Then from the atrium, go around to the back garden.

Walking to the back garden, Kamihara realized that there was still this lake behind the hotel. A small pond with bamboo that is common in this area on the left.

The night wind was very strong, and the wind blowing from the surface of the lake made ripples on the pool.

"Comfortable..."

Having just finished taking a bath, Kamihara felt the coolness of the night and the breath of early summer, and stretched his body. Later, under the guidance of the moonlight, he saw a small lonely pavilion by the pool.

The small pavilion was littered with irregular stones, and grass and trees were emerging from the gaps.

Tianhai Qimingyue stood in the small pavilion, with his back to him, facing the lake.

Kamihara saw her flaxen-colored hair swaying in the night breeze. With the sound of bamboo leaves not far away, it seemed that the fragrance of her hair was floating in front of her with the wind.

He walked over.

"Are you distracted?"

"It's relaxing."

"How's the injury on your foot?"

"Alright."

“......”

Tianhai Qi Mingyue's answer was too cold, so that Shen Yuan Le suddenly didn't know how to talk to her.

"Why did my brother come to me?"

"I saw that you hadn't come back for more than ten minutes after taking a shower, so I naturally came out to look for you."

"Well, for my brother's concern, there's no problem."

There is nothing wrong with Tianhai Qimingyue's words, but Shen Yuanle feels weird when he listens to it, but he can't say what's weird.

In the silence of both of them, Tianhai Qi Mingyue took the lead in speaking: "Brother and sister's progress must be fast, right?" ”

"This... Hmm, how to put it, I feel that there is progress, but you can't answer what the specific progress is. ”

"Brother is the most comforting," Tianhai Qimingyue's calm eyes looked at the calm lake, "After the barbecue, my sister also mentioned my brother in the chat with me. ”

"What did she say?" Kamihara was curious.

"She said how her brother said those things to her, and she was so much more relaxed when she heard it."

"But I feel that Jiuliuli hasn't completely let go yet."

"This is something that my sister has been sad for a long time, how can it be cured if she wants to be cured."

"Then I'll have to keep up the good work."

“......”

"Why did you suddenly stop talking?"

"Brother, every time I mention my sister, I'm very motivated."

"Of course, after all, Jiu Liuli is the person I have a crush, the first crush in my life. I have always felt that the youth and gentleness of Jiuliuli make me like it very much. ”

Tianhai Qi Mingyue inexplicably looked at him in front of him and read his sister: "What does it feel like to have a crush?" ”

"Let me think... I want to make the other person happy. ”

"Impossible."

Tianhai Qi Mingyue's answer was very abrupt, which made Shenyuan Le stunned for a second.

"What's wrong?"

Tianhai Qi Mingyue didn't mean to adjust, but frowned and said, "You also want to make Suzu happy, can you say that this is a secret love?!" ”

"That's... It's true that I'm generalizing," Kamihara Le noticed a hint of weirdness, "Qi Mingyue, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, I just want to be alone." The seven bright moons in the sky and sea were so flat that there was no trace of emotion, and she withdrew her gaze, looking at the night breeze and the wavy moon reflected in the water.

Even a fool can hear the meaning of her words, and Kamihara is not so uninteresting.

"Then I won't bother you, remember to come back early, although it's almost summer, but the night wind blows too much, and you will catch a cold."

"Hmm."

"Also."

When Shen Yuan Le took half a step out of the pavilion, Tianhai Qi Mingyue suddenly called out to him again.

She was not as cold as before, but said in a softer tone: "After the end of the camp, my brother will not use the literature department. ”

“... Because of what? Kamihara felt like she was drawing a line with herself.

"Because I have to find time to write something, which requires a lot of materials, I spend most of my time in the library."

Tianhai Qi Mingyue didn't directly explain what she was going to write, and Kamihara felt that it was like an excuse, but Qi Mingyue was not the kind of person who liked to make excuses.

Her figure seemed to be much thinner in the light of the lake.

Because of his previous life, Kamihara can understand this mood to some extent.

A person's loneliness will be reflected in how much he resists contact with the outside world.

Therefore, he empathizes with the current seven bright moons in the sky and sea.

"Then I'll go back first."

"Hmm."

"Qi Mingyue, you remember to come back early."

"Hmm."

......

Tianhai Qimingyue looked at the lake, her expression and eyes, just like the lake in front of her, did not show any emotion.

She just stood there and relaxed.

.....

After staying like this for a long time, she finally sighed.

"What are you doing when you come back?"

Kamihara Le walked directly to her side this time, put his hands behind his back like an elder, and slowly shook his head: "I think so, if you have something to write about, I can also help, right?" You're not in the Faculty of Letters, so I'll go to the library with you. ”

Tianhai Qi Mingyue sighed: "People who are lower than me are not qualified to educate me in this tone. ”

"Hmph, I'm talking to you as a brother, you are now my sister, at this point, whether you ask my mother or your father, they will admit it as a matter of course!"

Neither looked at the other.

The corners of Tianhai Qimingyue's mouth frowned: "I don't know when my brother became so arrogant?" ”

"Huh? Of course, it was all thanks to you, you taught me - this is not arrogance, but a sign of self-confidence. ”

"Blind confidence is arrogance – I don't know who said it."

"With enough strength, that's self-confidence—says a girl who likes sharks."

The bickering between the two became more and more intense.

At the last moment, Kamihara deliberately coughed as if to change the subject.

Coincidentally, Tianhai Qi Mingyue heard him say that he was a girl who liked sharks, and turned around.

Just as he wanted to speak, he was attracted by a doll he took out of his hand.

“......”

"Ahem," Kamihara Le coughed again, with an unbearable embarrassment on his face, "When I was helping Ah Ling buy medicine just now, I saw it on the side of the street, and I thought it was cute... I just don't know if you like it or not. ”

“......”

Tianhai Qimingyue's eyes were on the shark doll that was smiling with three shark teeth, and he didn't speak.

"Explain in advance, in addition to Ah Ling's birthday, this is the first time I have given other girls gifts. Give it to her and I'll just say happy birthday and give it to someone else...... Ahem, so I don't know how to pick it, and I don't know what to say when I send it. ”

“......”

Kamihara Le found that Tianhai Qimingyue still had that indifferent expression, and the beautiful girl's face was a little cold.

He was even more embarrassed, what about Qi Mingyue who said that he liked sharks?!

If she doesn't like it, she will give her a gift casually, won't it be a failure?

And, yes!

Except for Ah Ling's stupidity, which female high school student would like dolls?!

Aren't all female high school students now regard dolls as something that only children like?

With the cold character of Tianhai Qimingyue... Give her a doll, it's better to give lipstick.

She would definitely laugh at herself contemptuously, "Brother doesn't think I'm the kind of girl who likes dolls, right?" ”

I went to Qi Mingyue's room before, and I never saw any dolls in her room!

It's over, and the more Kamihara Le thinks about it, the more finished he becomes.

"If you don't like it, then... Then I'll take it back. ”

"Doesn't my brother know that there is no reason to take back the gift he sent?"

"Huh? So what do you mean? ”

Tianhai Qi Mingyue snatched the doll in his hand with his right hand and turned around.

She reverted to a voice without the slightest emotion:

"Although my brother can't speak very much, and the gifts he gives are also very naïve, there are still men who give girls dolls this year, and I don't know if you are a zombie who crawled out of the Showa era, brother? But, after all, this was my brother's first gift, and I reluctantly accepted it. Okay, my brother has finished delivering things, can you not disturb my purity? ”

"Oh, then I'll go back first, you come back early."

"Okay, repeat it three times."

Kamihara smiled at her back embarrassedly, "I'm leaving." ”

"Hmm."

......

After three minutes, Tianhai Qimingyue kept turning back, and after confirming that Kamihara Le had indeed left the back garden, she pinched the shark doll in her hand and made the doll's face face face to her.

The shark doll has a round head and a fat body, squinting eyes, a white belly, and a red face, which is a cute style.

The shark doll smiled happily, his hands to himself, and a kind of "worthy of me!" "Self-confidence.

I don't know if someone picked it on purpose.

Tianhai Qimingyue's azure eyes stared at the doll, and then pinched it in front of him with his slender hands.

Then I pinched it again.

Soon, under the smiling gaze of the shark doll, some obvious colors gradually appeared on her face, which was originally without any emotion.

......

......
