[Huh?] ]

[Ahh ]

The vision instantly turned dark, and when Sora was still confused, Sakura couldn't help but exclaim.

Since it is September, the weather forecast also predicts that the weather conditions will be unstable this week, and in fact, there is heavy rain and thunder outside the window, but I didn't expect a power outage.

At this time, it was about five o'clock in the afternoon, and after a strong roar, the lights, televisions and other electrical appliances all lost their light at once, and the home fell into darkness in an instant.

[Sister Qianxue, you and Qianxia don't get close to the switch and power plug upstairs, I'll go and take a look at the switch.] ]

Kong shouted to the two people upstairs, and after hearing the response, he was ready to get up and turn off the electric switch, and check other household appliances by the way.

[Is your phone next to you?] Mine is in the room. ]

The flashlight is stored in the kitchen cabinet, and the light source should only be used with the help of the phone's built-in flashlight program first. But Sora is still not used to keeping his phone by his side while studying, so he asks Sakura, who is doing homework next to him, but receives no response.

[...... Sakura-san? ]

(Because she kept calling her last name, Sister Chiyuki felt very angry, so she asked me to call Horii-san's name when I was at home.) ）

Sora hesitated to call her name, and then noticed that the corners of his clothes were being pulled.

Sora called her again, but there was still no response.

Sora didn't understand what was going on, so he reached out to her and touched... Yes, I touched the slender limbs that looked like Sakura's arms, and the other party's hand suddenly shook obviously, and then immediately dodged it.

After a [thump, poof] sound of falling objects, there was a slight moan and a [shameful shame...] from below. whispers.

[.... That, sorry to scare you. Are you okay Sakura-san? ]

[.... No, just a little scared, I'm fine. ]

Because of his reckless behavior, he actually scared Sakura off the sofa and fell down, and Sora felt quite ashamed; But she didn't seem to care about that, and groped to confirm the position of the couch, trying to sit back down; Sora, on the other hand, was worried about whether the other party was hurt, and wanted to let her pull her to sit down.

It's just that her fingers gently skim the empty hand, and I don't know if it's because she's too shy that she didn't grab her hand, but grabbed the empty clothes instead.

When I was resting at home on the weekend, I wore casual clothes with a big body size, which was very loose. At this time, Sakura grabbed her clothes, and Sora could feel the panic in her heart at this time, a little itchy, but she felt very shy to be in close contact with a girl like this, and Sora couldn't help but gently hold her slender wrist, and as a result, her body trembled again.

This time, she didn't fall off the couch.

[I'm sorry, I'm afraid you'll fall again.] ]

[...... Are you laughing at me? ]

[Why am I laughing at you?] ]

[I thought you were laughing at me for just having a power outage, just panicking.] ]

[That's true.] ]

[...... If you can't speak, it's better to keep your mouth shut. ]

In the usual process of getting along, Sakura shows a degree of reliability that is not a little bit or two, and she will not easily expose her weaknesses, but people will always have weaknesses, not to mention that she is also a girl. In addition, in the face of a sudden power outage, even adults can feel uneasy.

I think of my mother, who is still traveling outside, when she was in her hometown, because the line was blown off by a typhoon, she basically went back to the room with the light of her mobile phone, and if she didn't call her, she wouldn't respond.

Thinking of this, Sora laughed helplessly.

[.... Even if you want to laugh at me, please don't laugh out loud, okay? ]

[Sorry, I just remembered something out of nowhere.] You.... Afraid of the dark? ]

Sora asked in a low voice, and then vaguely saw the other party gently shaking his head.

[It's not that I'm afraid of the dark...] It's just....]

[Just?] ]

[..... I don't like this, around all of a sudden .... All of a sudden, it was pitch black or something. ]

[Well, my mother doesn't like it either.] As soon as the power goes out, hide back in your room...]

[I don't have a phobia of darkness!] I don't feel scared. ]

[Good, good.] ]

Sakura seemed to bite the bullet and didn't want to admit that she was afraid, so she denied it in a sharper tone than usual, but the two had known each other for more than a week, and in preparation for the opening test the day after tomorrow, Sakura would basically come over every night to teach empty Chinese and some other subjects. So Sora is clear that it's just a cute bluff.

And here's the proof: until now, Sakura has pulled at the hem of her empty clothes.

However, at this time, the empty is not comfortable, although the clothes are very loose, but the hem has been pulled like this, which makes the empty feel a little ashamed. Fortunately, under the cover of the dark environment, Sakura couldn't see the red face at this time.

[... That, Sakura-san? ]

[... What's wrong? ]

[I need to turn off the switch, that... I...]

In a dark environment, it is still very difficult to see the surrounding things clearly, but the electric switch still has to be turned off, after all, if there is a call, electrical appliances and other furniture in the case of sudden power failure and power-on, there is still damage. And looking at the rain outside, you know that it will not stop for a while.

So I thought that I had to quickly pull off the electric switch, and then turn off the TV and lights that were originally on, so as to prevent the internal battery of the appliance from aging.

At this time, Sora heard Sakura reply in a whisper [Hmm...] After that, he was ready to get up.

[Huh?] After getting up, Sora could still feel the hand that was pulling the corner of his clothes still there.

I couldn't see Sakura's expression in the dark, so I asked Sakura again, and this time she responded.

[I... With you. ]

[Okay, I can only trouble you to hold your phone.] ]

She whispered softly, a little softer. Sora got up and pulled Sakura up, and when she was about to let go, Sakura didn't let go; When she sensed that Sora was about to let go, Sakura suddenly grabbed her empty hand in turn. And this action made Sora stiff, the first time he was held by the opposite sex other than his family, no, it should be since something like that happened in his family when he was a child, no other person of the opposite sex has held his hand.

Sora felt a little nervous, and his breathing couldn't help but be a little short, but he was more worried, worried about whether he would incur the other person's annoyance if he held the other person's hand back.

And with Sora feeling so complicated, Sakura's side is no better.

Except for her parents and close female classmates, she has never held hands with anyone else, and the other party is not only a neighbor, but also a classmate. Originally, I was afraid that I would be hated by the other party for such a willful behavior, but the other party didn't seem to say much, after all, [if you hold hands like this, you know that you are not alone, and you feel very relieved.] How could she say such a thing! It's shy to think about!!

In such an atmosphere, the two slowly walked to the entrance by the light of the built-in flashlight on their mobile phones.

Normally, the outside of the house will be equipped with a distribution box, and switches such as electric switches are inside, because the distribution box here is made of insulated materials, and the distribution box space is very large, generally there will be no leakage. But for the sake of safety, Sora decided to go out and check it, after all, it is not the same assembly method as the original hometown, and you still have to pay attention to the places that should be paid attention to.

I walked to the entrance and opened the door, and a gust of wind blew in.

[Hiss ~ The wind is so strong.] ]

Sora looked at the situation outside and expressed his feelings.

Because at the door, even if the sky is gray and the rain is pouring down, this light is enough to see.

[Sakura-san, I'm going to go around and take a look at the distribution box and turn off the switch.] You.... Wait a minute, it's raining so hard, it's better if you don't go out with me. ]

At this time, Sakura still held my hand and didn't let go, looking at the pouring rain outside, I was embarrassed to let the girl out, so I took out the umbrella from the corner of the shoe cabinet with my left hand, and tried to break away with my right hand.

While I waited for the other person to let go of their hand.

[... I'm with you. ]

[Huh?] No, it's raining so hard, I'll be bothered when you get wet. ]

[Please don't care.] ]

[uh... Okay, then please have that umbrella too. ]

Before Sora could finish speaking, Sakura took the umbrella in Sora's left hand and pulled Sora out.

(No, that's what it looks like.) Sora was pulled out in some confusion.

[Sakura-san, I'll come.] ]

As he spoke, he took the umbrella back, and with a little strength in his right hand, he walked to the right side of the house. Since the umbrella that was just empty was a little small, it was a little difficult to accommodate the two of them, so at this time, the empty umbrella was slightly tilted towards Sakura's side to prevent the other party from getting rain, and in doing so, his left shoulder was already wet.

Coming to the distribution box, Sora handed the umbrella in his hand to Sakura.

[I'm sorry Sakura-san to take it, I'll have to check it.] ]

With that, Sora opened the distribution box. At this time, the emergency short-circuit switch in the distribution box swings up and is in normal operation, while the main switch is swinging down and is in a closed state. After a little checking, I found that there was no major problem, so I pulled up the main switch, so that when the call came, the room only needed to turn on the lamp holder switch.

[Okay, no problem, let's go back.] ]

After saying this, his body took a step back, and he also noticed something strange at this time. It seems that Sakura, who has just leaned forward slightly, can't hold the front of the umbrella. So at this time, Sakura is standing on the empty right hand side, standing on tiptoe and holding an umbrella.

[Ahh ]

Sora took a step back, and Sakura, who was originally supported by Sora's body, was about to fall forward because she was on tiptoe and didn't stand up for a while. Sora hurriedly reached over with his left hand and sideways to catch the fallen Sakura, and the umbrella in Sakura's hand also came out.

Formed a picture of Sakura lying in front of the empty body, the two of them drenched in the rain, and the empty who was drenched in the rain, after helping Sakura stabilize her body, hurriedly picked up the umbrella that fell on the ground to be blown away by the wind, and then pulled Sakura and hurriedly ran to the door of the house.

[I'm sorry, Sakura.] ]

Putting the umbrella away, feeling the clothes clinging to his body due to the rain, Sora looked at Sakura with some apologies.

Even if it was only drenched for a short time, the pouring rain outside, even if it was a small rain, made the clothes almost completely wet. After all, the other party is wearing daily casual clothes, and the shirt is close to Sakura's body because of the wet reason, revealing the curves of Sakura's body, and even the color of the underwear can be faintly seen. So it doesn't matter if you look at it, just let the blood circulation of the empty body accelerate, and a stream of blood rushes to the mind.

After all, this is also the time of 16 years old, although the birthday has not yet passed, otherwise it would be 17 (is this something to think about now?). ), but also a decent man. Seeing this kind of picture, who can withstand it.

[Huh?] Yes!! Don't look at it!! ]

Sakura suddenly found that Sora was staring at herself a little blankly, looked down, and suddenly squatted on the ground with her hands in front of her, and shouted out in a panic.

And Sakura's voice pulled back to the emptiness of consciousness.,Hurriedly walked to the bathroom.,Although the house is still very dark.,But by groping the wall.,Little by little to the bathroom.。 When I came to the bathroom, I turned on the faucet switch and put hot water in the bathtub by taking advantage of the dim light outside the window, and then walked out of the bathroom and took out the bath towel from the closet in the dressing room outside. Slowly groping for the wall, back to the entrance, Sakura was still squatting on the ground with her front covered in front of her.

Sora hurriedly wrapped a bath towel around Sakura's body, and silently recited in his mind, "Color is emptiness, emptiness is color", so as to put aside those images.

[No... Sorry, wrap it up first, don't catch a cold. I'm already putting hot water in the bathroom.,Sakura-san and others will go directly.,I'll ask Sister Qianxue to borrow a set of clothes.... Get up first, don't.... Stop squatting. ]

Speaking of the back, even the empty self felt that his mouth was dry.

[I'll go in first, you pack up and talk to me, I'll put the change of clothes in the changing room first.] ]

As if to reassure the other party, Sora hurriedly added.

[I'm not going to peek....] But after saying that, the empty regret it, isn't this a bit of a meaning that there are no silver three hundred taels here.

After saying this, Sora was about to grope for the wall and go inside the house when Sakura spoke.

[... I... I'm a little... Inconvenience... Take your phone, you... Can you accompany me? ]

Sora turned his head to look at Sakura, and at this time, the water on the other party's hair was dripping little by little, and the bath towel I had just taken was covered with the body that loomed on it, attracting Sora.

Lovely.

[Okay.] ]

[... Yes... Leading... Me? ]

Sora was still a little surprised that the other party wanted to hold her by himself, after all, he looked at her with such obscene eyes just now, but the other party didn't say anything about himself. Calm down and let go of the picture in your head.

[Chirp!] ]

Hearing Sakura's somewhat cute voice, Sora knew that he couldn't drag it out, after all, it was easy to catch a cold if he dragged it any longer, so he took Sakura's hand and held the phone in the other hand to illuminate it.

After taking Sakura to the changing room, Sora lets Sakura in, but the other party is a little squirming. It can be seen that the other party is still very afraid of the dark, especially when he is alone.

[I'm just outside, if there's anything, just tell me, but I have to let Sister Qianxue get a change of clothes first.] ]

[.... Well. ]

In this way, I sat on the mat in front of the bathroom door, which was the presence of the class as a fairy, and the image I had just seen in the hallway came to my mind.

(Hiss ~ What am I thinking?) Don't think, don't think, don't think. ）

I slammed into the wall next to me, trying not to think about it anymore, ah, really, it's annoying!

I haven't let Sister Qianxue take the clothes yet. Suddenly thinking of this, I quickly got up, walked to the door of the changing room, and shouted upstairs.

[Sister Chiyuki!] Help get a change of clothes of your own, I just went out with Horii-san to look at the electric box and got wet in the rain, trouble! ]

[What's going on with you?] Why did you take Sister Sakura out? ]

[Don't ask, did you take it down?] ]

[Take it again, don't rush.] ]

After a while, Chiyuki came down from the stairs with a change of clothes for Sakura in one hand and a flashlight on the other.

[Be careful.] ]

[I don't need you to say it.] ]

Sora reminds the other party to go downstairs to pay attention, but Chiyuki seems to be a little angry because I took Sakura outside to check the electrical box.

[You!] ]

Qianxue pointed hard at my forehead and said angrily.

[Okay, okay, that's it.] Well? Where's my clothes? ]

[Take it yourself and go, otherwise Qianxia will be afraid.] ]

[Hey!] How can there be such a thing? ]

Put the clothes Sakura was going to change into on the cabinet next to the bathroom door, and Chiyuki went straight upstairs to accompany Chinatsu, ignoring the empty words.

[Sakura-san, the change of clothes has been brought, it's right next to the door, I'll wait for you outside.] ]

[Don't!] ]

Hearing that I was going out, Sakura's hurried voice remembered.

[Got it, got it, tell me when you're ready, and I'll go out when the time comes.] Also, don't soak for too long. ]

[.... Well. ]

Before they could continue to speak, I responded in advance, knowing that they didn't want me to be too far away.

But, no, Chiyuki should be allowed to come... No, Chixia also needs someone to accompany me, and I'm wet all over at this time.

Yes!!! Annoying!!!

Sora scratched his head frantically, this is really tormenting.
