The tense thumb panned back without any emotion, and Tianhai Jiu Liuli spread his longbow with both hands, and his gaze followed the arrow that did not tremble in the slightest. Her long hair swayed slightly in the evening breeze, giving the impression of concentration and composure from the perspective of others.

The skin is firm, the hair is shiny, and the ridge bones are straight.

Plain white hakama, dark hakama skirt. Although her height is quite tall compared to her peers, she can still see a girlish feeling called "youth" in her.

The thumb let go, and the arrow flew out, and the tail of the arrow broke a dark green mark in midair.

The sound of hitting the target is intertwined with the sound of the wind blowing the herbs.

In the next moment after hitting the target, Tianhai Jiuliuli lowered his longbow.

She maintained the bowdo etiquette movement and marched to the last step until she raised her head and looked at the sky.

Heavy clouds obscured the evening sky, and there was a slight coolness in the air.

It's going to start raining, and at this point in time, the archery department has long since finished its previous ministry work, and it is empty.

Tianhai Jiuliuli walked to the mound with the target stack alone, and the bow and arrow on the target were recovered one by one. She took the bow and arrows back into her quiver box, and was busy putting back some public items that the newcomers to the archery department had not packed up, and waited until she had changed into her school uniform before walking out of the wardrobe.

She set her eyes on the lawn in front of the dojo. Raindrops fell above, splashing tiny water stains and droplets falling from the sky.

Tianhai Jiuliuli picked up a long bow bag, put on his school bag, and wanted to walk back to the teaching building quickly, but when he arrived at the eaves in front of the wooden sign that read [Mingde Yijuku Bow Road Department], the rain suddenly became urgent.

She couldn't help but stop, reaching out to catch the rain like arrows, while looking up at the sky.

"It's raining ......"

The girl in a Western-style school uniform lifted her backpack, opened the buckle on her back, and took out her mobile phone from inside.

Press the power button, the screen lights up, find the phone number with the note [July], and dial it.

Tianhai Jiu Liuli looked at the rain, and in the rain mixed with the school bell, she only heard the female voice announcing [You are in arrears] from the inside of the phone.

She put her phone away.

I could only stare blankly at the rain.

......

The rain drenched the eaves little by little, and even the uppers of the small leather shoes were covered with droplets, and the cold wind in the rain blew the bare skin of the arms cold. In the cold and rainy day, even the evening dusk was beaten by the raindrops and became darker and darker.

Tianhai Jiuliuli looked at the raindrops and became more and more anxious, as if the bow bag on the shoulder bag was a little heavier.

She stretched out her hand again, feeling the size of the raindrops again, visualizing the distance to the school building and estimating how fast she would run with a bow bag and a school bag.

It seems that you have to get drenched before you can run to the school building.

- Tianhai Jiuliuli came to such a conclusion in his heart.

She withdrew her hands that were wet from the raindrops, and prepared to rush into the heavy rain, but just as she got up, her body was interrupted by a voice behind her.

"You're definitely going to catch a cold if you rush out."

Tianhai Jiuliuli stopped the steps he was about to take, and even swayed slightly because he was suddenly interrupted.

She looked up again and saw Kamihara Raku standing behind her, holding an umbrella, next to the wooden sign of the [Meitoku Gyudo Department].

He carried his bag on one shoulder and smiled softly at himself in the rain.

The moment he saw him suddenly appear behind him with an umbrella, Tianhai Jiuliuli froze.

"Brother?"

"What are you doing so surprised? Seeing that it's going to rain and your phone can't get through, isn't it normal to send you an umbrella? ”

"Ahh No, no," Tianhai Jiu Liuli put the shoulder bag in front of the hem of her skirt, "I'm just curious why you suddenly appeared just now." ”

"I've been here for a long time, and I've been watching you from behind."

"Why didn't I notice it?"

"I don't know about this, probably because you are too attentive to the rain."

Kamihara approached her with an umbrella. Raindrops dripped in front of him, and Tianhai Jiu Liuli found him coming, lowered his head slightly, and hid in the umbrella.

The moment he got closer, the cold wind blowing from the right was also blocked by him, which made Tianhai Jiuliuli can't help but glance curiously at his face.

His gaze was on his hand holding the umbrella and carrying the bag at the same time, and he moved closer to him.

"Give me the bow bag and schoolbag you are carrying behind you, you take me this, and the hot milk tea I bought for you on the way."

"No, no, I'll help you get it."

"How can it be convenient for you to drink with something, bring it and I'll help you get it."

“......”

After only exchanging a few words, Tianhai Jiu Liuli saw that he took the initiative to take the bow bag on his shoulder with his other hand and put it on his shoulder almost without giving himself room to refuse.

"Give me the bag too."

"No... Brother, you still have to hold an umbrella. ”

"If you don't have anything in your hand, you must be more comfortable to drink, right? Take it, it's not like I can't bring it up. ”

Then, he carried his bag with him.

Umbrellas, bow bags, backpacks, shoulder bags, even from a distance, you can feel the weight he bears. Not to mention standing under the same umbrella with him so closely.

Tianhai Jiuliuli felt the temperature of hot milk tea in his hand through the wall of the cup, and became a little absent-minded.

"Let's go, let's go to the station together."

"Hmm..."

The raindrops beat the umbrellas, and the road under their feet was wet and slippery.

Walking down the ginkgo biloba road under the same umbrella with him, Tianhai Jiuliuli held the hot cup wall of milk tea with both hands, and she only felt that since the temperature transmitted by this palm, even the shoulders that had been subconsciously contracted due to the cold wind were warm.

The girl lowered her head, and saw his hand holding the umbrella again, and saw the shoulder bag he was carrying.

Crackling, the rain slapping the umbrella, and at the same time, the sound of his footsteps on the road.

Should I help my brother carry something?

Shouldn't you just leave everything to him to get?

You came to pick me up so late, because you know it's raining, so you came by bus, right?

Have you eaten?

My brother should be preparing a meal at this time, right?

Usually this is the time when dinner is prepared at home, and then waiting for Suzu-chan and me to come home and everyone eats at home together.

Now because I saw that it was going to rain, I called myself in advance. After I found out that I couldn't get through to my phone, that's why my brother deliberately put down his work to pick me up, right?

Why didn't the Seven Bright Moons come?

Obviously, she came the same way.

Or does my brother just want to pick me up by himself...?

Indescribable emotions swayed in my heart, accompanied by the sound of raindrops hitting the umbrella overhead, disrupting Tianhai Jiuliuli's thoughts into chaos. She turned her head sideways many times to look at Kamihara's face, and all she saw was him in the rain and under the umbrella, looking seriously at the eyes in front of her.

"Ruri doesn't want to drink?"

"Huh...?"

Kamihara pointed to the milk tea she had been holding for a long time.

"This," Tianhai Jiu Liuli smiled at him and put the milk tea in front of his face, "I think this is quite warm to hold, so I keep holding it in my hand first." ”

"Is it warm? It probably tastes warmer. ”

Tianhai Jiu Liuli looked back, lowered her face, her azure eyes saw a little drop of water under her feet that were lifted by the small leather shoes, she reached out and lifted the hair next to her ears, "Actually, there is still a little reluctant to drink in it......"

Kamihara Le smiled at her hesitant little face and said, "Ruri, don't tell me, you were warmed up because I came out to pick you up." ”

"It's good to be warmed up..."Tianhai Jiu Liuli put his eyes on the lily of the valley bracelet on his wrist again, "Brother is so busy on weekdays now, and there are so many things to do." At this point in time, you must be preparing dinner at home, right? But when you're so busy, you still notice the weather, you still think about calling me, and you put down what you're doing and catch the bus to pick me up at school......"

Her voice grew smaller and smaller the more she spoke.

"It's actually a lot of trouble to do these things."

"And what are we now?"

"Boyfriend and girlfriend in a relationship..."

Tianhai Jiuliuli muttered quietly, and the corner of his eye suddenly caught a glimpse of his arm that was against him.

The girl raised her eyes and looked at him.

"What else is this going to look at? Since it's boyfriend and girlfriend, Liuli, you don't want to stand outside so much, how good is it to come and hold hands? ”

"Arm in Hand......

"Glass?"

Tianhai Jiu Liuli pursed his lips, his heart was entangled by an inexplicable emotion, and finally took the initiative to put his hand in his arm.

"Liuli's mood today is very wrong."

"Brother sees it?"

"My face is red when I hold my hands, isn't there something wrong?" Kamihara Le laughed again, with a little bit of teasing her.

"It's definitely not wrong, okay..."

"Then what are you blushing about? Look, my face is still red. ”

"I just... It's just that I try to feel... Didn't I admit it in disguise? I like that brother, you are so good to me. ”

"Where's the good?" Kamihara could see that she had a lot to say to herself, so he said what she meant.

“... Just now I was sheltering from the rain under the eaves, and my body was cold by the wind, and I thought to myself, 'Now I can only rush to the classroom to get an umbrella', and then you suddenly appeared behind me, brother! Not only holding an umbrella, but also smiling at me...... At that time, I had a feeling in my heart, a feeling of being cared for, so keen that I could even understand the details of how you approached to block the wind for me! Then he also helped me carry things, gave me milk tea, and didn't want me to carry too heavy things...... Seeing you take everything to yourself, I... My body was also much lighter and warmer all of a sudden. ”

When Tianhai Jiu Liuli said this, his voice was lowered, his eyes did not dare to look directly at him, and even the hand holding the wall of the milk tea cup was clenched a lot.

Kamihara noticed this.

And deeply understands that Jiu Liuli is a delicate girl, she can feel any kindness to her, and even give feedback.

"What does Ruri think of me lately?"

"Lately? Very good," Tianhai Jiu Liuli replied without thinking, "Brother is getting busier and busier, but he is also getting more and more brilliant, and now he is completely taking care of the affairs of the class and keeping the new class in order." People are also dressed up very clean and handsome, and more and more girls are beginning to want to follow behind your brother... I feel like I'm usually in the back, and I have to rely on my brother's back a little. ”

Kamihara Le walked on the side of the street and sighed: "What do you say, don't you take the initiative to let these things out?" ”

"No," Tianhai Jiuliuli shook his head, "Not at all, these are the things that my brother is trying to do, get up at five o'clock to tidy up his clothes, run at five twenty o'clock, take a bath at five forty-five o'clock, study music theory knowledge at six o'clock, prepare breakfast and lunch box at half past six, start homework preview before school at seven o'clock, and go to school at seven fifty...... These are just preparations for school, not to mention a lot of things to do in the rest of the day, and even more. Sometimes even I start to worry about my brother, if you will faint from exhaustion.

"That's right! And what you said to Nishijima-san, brother, recently, I also heard it! Even when I hear those words, I can't help but think that my brother will become the kind of person who is expected and high-profile, and he can't help but be the kind of person who will smile and lead everyone out of the clouds in terms of strength and personality charm. ”

"Oh~~ Xiao Liuli thinks so highly of me?" Walking to an intersection, Kamihara Le smiled and deliberately turned his face closer to her, and Tianhai Jiu Ruri shyly ducked back.

"Please, please don't call me by that name, the name Ruri is a nickname..."

"Shy?" Kamihara straightened up again, but his smile couldn't stop.

"Well, is it shy? Lejun shouldn't be the kind of person who will bully more when girls are shy, right? So, please stop the name of Little Glass. Tianhai Jiuliuli turned sideways, arranged the red bow tie on the lower neckline as if before going on stage to speak, and preached to him with a small face very seriously.

"Don't you think that the seriousness you deliberately showed at this time is really super cute?"

"Please... Please, don't call me that way......"

"Okay, okay, I promise, I promise. After all, it's Xiao Liuli's request. ”

"Say!"

"Haha-huh, don't twist the meat, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, why do you girls like to twist meat? I was wrong, I was wrong, I was really wrong. ”

"It's not that Lejun is too bad!" Tianhai Jiu Liuli was still very careful to control the strength, after all, she would be worried that it would really hurt him, "That... You okay? ”

"What do you say? I'm a big man who screams in pain. ”

“... I'm sorry. Tianhai Jiu Liuli lowered her half-closed eyes in front of him, and even half of the milk tea she drank was hugged by her chest.

“...... Don't really apologize, I'm kidding. Shen Yuan Le hurriedly said. Hearing that her voice really weakened, he felt a little sorry for her inexplicably, because Liuli seemed to cherish himself all the time.

"Really...?"

"Really... It's just that it does hurt a little. ”

"It's not that Lejun always makes it bad..."

"Making bad helps the exchange of feelings between lovers. Or how could there be a saying that women only like bad men? ”

"This sentence doesn't make sense," Tianhai Jiuliuli argued, "but it's only a little bad... It's still acceptable. ”

Chirp.

Kamihara suddenly kissed Tianhai Jiururi's cheek.

"Like?"

Tianhai Jiuliuli immediately covered his side face, and when he turned his head, he saw his smiling face that was close to him. Seeing his mouth, Tianhai Jiu Liuli's cheeks, who suddenly realized what he had done in that second just now, instantly turned red to the root of his ears.

If you want to ask why, you can't help but feel shy because of being kissed on the face suddenly.

There is also the shyness of standing under the bus stop and being watched by many people.

"You... You... You ......"

"Don't tell me that Liuli is speechless because she was kissed on the face."

He was still laughing, the neon lights of the streets of Tokyo were falling behind his head. This kind of picture of the lake mixed with the sound of rain sets off his smile and makes his smiling cheeks look very clear.

Chirp.

Again.

"Glass?"

Then, he deliberately called out his own name.

More and more people came to the bus stop, more and more people looked at him, and Tianhai Jiuliuli was so ashamed that he directly hugged his cheeks with both hands. This sudden action also made the milk tea in his hand fall, but fortunately, Kamihara was quick, put the umbrella on the ground, and caught it.

"Mom, my sister over there is so beautiful."

"You can't watch! Come here and stand. ”

"Why can't you watch it?"

"There's no why."

He, he, he, he, how could he do this!

Don't know if it's on the street right now?

I don't know how many people are watching the two?

I don't know if there are still children who are taken home by their mothers?

But... Although I am so ashamed, so ashamed, so ashamed, my heart is pounding, my brain is hot, my cheeks are hot, and even if the thoughts in my heart are messed up, I don't have any hatred for him... Instead, it will... Would love it when he treated him like this......

What are you thinking?

"Glass."

After a long psychological battle, Tianhai Jiu Liuli put down the hand covering his cheek and looked at him with an angry, dissatisfied look: "......"

Her eyes seemed to say "too ......".

Kamihara Le handed back the milk tea in his hand to her: "Just now, some children were praising the blushing glass is very beautiful!" ”

"And ......"

Unlike when she was shy, her voice was close to the way she usually felt when she spoke to strangers.

Kamihara Le now knows that if he continues, Ruri is really going to be angry with himself.

The conversation was interrupted.

The muffled sound of the engine sounded in the increasingly rapid rain curtain.

The station was illuminated by a beam of light, and the bus stopped.

Tianhai Jiu Liuli walked up first, followed by Shenyuan Le.

She sat down in the two-seater at the back of the carriage, and after Kamihara folded the umbrella, he came to her place and sat down in the seat next to her as a matter of course.

"I'd actually like to hear Ruri call me 'brother-sama', Ernie Sama Ruri sounds good."

"......" Tianhai Jiu Liuli didn't reply to him, but pinched his skirt and said, "Just now... Why? ”

Source change app】

"Why? Yes... The main thing is to make Liuli feel that I really like you, and I can't help but like it shyly, and I like it even the serious look of being tough after being shy. ”

"Shame on ......"

"Isn't this still dead?" Kamihara handed over the milk tea she had just drunk.

"Poor mouth..."After Tianhai Jiuliuli whispered, he still took back the milk tea he gave him.

After the bus started, the carriage shook, and the shoulders of the two men often bumped together.

She was immersed in drinking milk tea, and Kamihara looked at her long flaxen-colored hair from time to time.

In fact, from a close distance, the nine glazes, which look very tall on weekdays, look so slender.

Her milk tea-drinking head swayed slightly with the bumps of the bus, giving people a sense of innocence and youthfulness.

She is young, her skin is firm, her hair is shiny, and her upper body is straight.

"Lejun..."Tianhai Jiuliuli suddenly put down the milk tea in his hand and said.

"What's wrong?"

"I... I don't know if I should say this now......"

"Don't know? Say it, only by saying it, can I understand your thoughts on a deeper level. ”

Tianhai Jiuliuli's little finger moved on the wall of the milk tea cup, scratching a faint sound, which was muffled by the bus engine, just like the mood she had been afraid to say now, "I... I want to continue our relationship with the mentality of marrying you Lejun. ”

Kamihara's eyes froze: "Really?" Can you tell us why you think so? ”

"Reason... There are so many things that can be said, but in fact, to sum up, there are just a few. I like you, I really like you, I will feel happy with you, I will feel happy, I will feel happy, I will get a sense of security and warmth...... Lejun is so good to me, I don't need to list all of these people... Lejun just needs to know that I'm real... It's true... It's true... Loved being with you, just ......"

Tianhai Jiu Liuli's voice became smaller and smaller the more he spoke, but it became more and more determined.

She slowly turned her face towards Kamihara, and while her smile was facing Kamihara, she was reflected in the window of the bus, dimly flickering by the street's shopping lights.

"This time, there are so many words to be grateful for. The band and travel along the way, everyone gained a lot of happy emotions...... So, I should grow too. Now, I want to express my heart bravely like the confident Jiuliuli that Le Jun said before......

"Lejun, I want to continue this relationship with you for the purpose of marriage, you... Can you promise me......"

Heavy words, Kamihara received it.

At the same time, I received the sincerity from Jiuliuli, and the attitude and determination to change because of myself.

Really... Sure enough, Ruri is such a person......

"So, what does Ruri think of me now?"

"Of course Lejun is a very good person."

Kamihara closed his eyes, "Really... Very nice people. Liuli, I have always wanted to be a responsible person, and I have become less fond of avoiding things and avoiding problems. ”

"Isn't this kind of Lejun very good?" Tianhai Jiu Liuli smiled at him, smiling and encouraging.

"yes, that's good... Very good indeed...... Does Liuli also support me like this? ”

"Of course."

Kamihara took a deep breath and said as if talking to himself, "So, I think it's time for me to face up to my own problems and my own thoughts. I was going to tell you about it today......"

"Uh-huh, I'll listen."

Facing the happy Tianhai Jiu Liuli, facing the Tianhai Jiu Liuli who was waiting for his reply, Shenyuan Le turned his face, on this rainy day, in the back seat of the bus, and seriously said to the girl who was looking forward to her reply and holding half a cup of milk tea:

"I'm sorry, Ruri, actually, I'm also dating July now, and I've kissed her several times."

......
