When Narumi returned, Neko was already gone.

Yayoi Akihaya and Imadegawa Chisaka sat at opposite ends of the sofa, undisturbing each other, quietly looking at the books in their hands.

"Is the bed still out?" Narumi Yu carried the fish he bought for Neko in his left hand, "I bought the fish it wanted." ”

"Don't come out...... "Yayoi Aki raised the haiku collection in his hand a little higher, something was wrong.

Narumi glanced at the title of the book.

"Picking New Flowers" was written by Yo Yosa Wumura, a famous haiku poet in the Edo period.

It's a pity he didn't see it.

"Do you still do the fish?"

Once you've walked to the kitchen counter, put the ingredients down and put on your apron.

If you don't make the fish, put it in the refrigerator and stew it in the evening.

"Done." Yayoi Aki stopped the fish that were not yet dead from being refrigerated.

"Huh?"

"I eat ......"

The girl buried her face in the book, unable to see her expression, and could not hear her emotions between her words.

Whether or not there is a blush is all up to Narumi Yu's own imagination.

"Okay."

It just so happens that cooking two more dishes can also add a little more experience to your cooking skills.

The level of cooking above level 4 is delicious.

The amount of three servings is just left, and the food is very clean.

After seeing Imadegawa Chisaka from Neko, Yayoi Akihaya still couldn't see the eldest lady, but at least he believed in her existence.

The third portion of rice placed on the "empty seat" turned into an empty bowl, and when Narumi Yu asked, Yayoi Akihaya gave "It seems to me that it disappeared out of thin air, but it should have been eaten by Imadegawa-san." Answer.

The plan to save the disappearing beautiful girl has finally taken a crucial step!

Yu Narumi is excited, and at the same time curious about the relationship between Yayoi Akihaya and Neko.

"After Neko saw Imadegawa-san, will the picture also appear in Yayoi-san's memory? Or is there a different way of communicating with each other? ”

"Hmm," Yayoi Aki nodded, looking at the empty plate, a little stunned, "When Neko comes out, I can see what Neko sees." ”

Narumi basically removes all the bones when slicing the fish, which is quite convenient to eat.

Part of the braised and part of the sauce is fragrant, both of which are Chinese home-style practices.

Most of it was eaten by Yayoi Aki.

He had every reason to suspect that the black cat would affect some of the girl's habits.

After putting away the dishes and chopsticks, the newspaper placed in the corner of the table was accidentally touched by Narumi and fell to the ground.

The handwritten book, which only had an outline and a bit of mystery, fell into his sight.

“…… Yayoi-san, can you draw? ”

"A little." Yayoi Akizao helped pick up the newspaper and put it back on the table, "But it shouldn't be as good as Narumi-san's drawing." ”

"At least try." A glimmer of hope rekindled in Narumi's heart, "Please, maybe Yayoi-san can completely draw the appearance of Imadegawa-san." ”

……

Yayoi Akizao was silent for two seconds, looked at where Izukawa Chisaka was sitting when he was eating, and shook his head,

"Neko said no."

And now Izukawa Chisaka himself, as early as after eating, had jumped out of the rental house through the open window.

"It's a pity ......"

"Narumi San, is she still there?"

"It's gone."

"Oh."

Yayoi Aki stopped staring at the empty chair and went into the kitchen to help Narumi wash the dishes.

"Narumi likes her?"

"As long as it's a beautiful girl with an age difference of less than 12 years." Narumi knew that this was not what the girl wanted to ask.

"Narumi-san doesn't interest me, if it's because Imadegawa-san already likes it, it makes sense."

"Why do you say that?" The girl's point of view puzzled him.

Yu Narumi admits that he has no psychological liking for Imadegawa Chisaka. Physiologically, there must be, after all, he is quite pure heterosexual.

"Imadegawa-san is more beautiful than me." Yayoi said in a calm tone.

There is no unwillingness, no jealousy and envy, it is just like stating a fact that has already been determined.

It attracted Narumi Yu's sideways.

"Where's the beauty?"

"All."

"Wrong." He immediately denied the girl's point of view.

The kitchen has been cleaned up, and I walked in front of Yayoi Aki and took the book "Picking New Flowers" on the sofa in my hand.

"If you use a ten-point scale to rate the looks of the girls I have seen. The average score of ordinary girls is around four points, and Yayoi-san has more than nine points. ”

"Then Izukawa-san is ten." Yayoi Aki insisted on his point of view.

The haiku collection in my hand was opened, and it was a short poem.

These poems are called haikus.

It is rare to feel amazing at a glance, just like tea leaves, suitable for reading quietly in the right environment.

"Where does Yayoi-san think that difference is?"

It seemed a bit rude for him to ask this question, and Narumi Yu thought about how to change his words, but Yayoi Akihaya didn't care in the slightest, was silent for a few seconds, shook his head, and couldn't give an answer.

All the words in the world to describe the beauty of girls can be used in Imadegawa Chisaka, and they can also be used in Yayoi Akihaya.

From this point of view, both beautiful girls seem to be [perfect].

When a person stands in front of Yayoi Akizao, he will pour out the words he has learned all his life to describe the beauty of the girl.

But when he stood in front of Imadegawa Chisaka, even a haiku poet with the same literary talents as Xie Wucun, he could only be silent for a long time, and finally shook his head and let out a sigh.

This is the gap that Narumi Yu feels from the most intuitive angle.

And the root of this gap has long had nothing to do with the girl's appearance.

"If, like Imadegawa-san, Yayoi-san, could truly stand in front of me, stand on this land, and be seen by the world......"

Narumi Yu casually flipped through two pages, closed the book, and looked at Yayoi Akihay, who was lost in thought,

"Will Yayoi-san still have the same point of view as just now?"

"......" Yayoi Autumn was silent.

The root of the gap is the loneliness that envelops Chisaka Imadegawa like a white mist.

People are always unapproachable, and can only sigh.

"That,"

The girl took back the "Picking New Flowers" in his hand and asked,

"What about Shiina-san? How many points can you score at Narumi-san? ”

“…… What is this for? ”

"Just curious."

Narumi Yu was inexplicably a little weak-hearted, and staggered his gaze, "It's also nine points......

“…… Scold. ”

The girl smiled rarely, but there was not much kindness in the smile,

"Those girls who have written love letters to Narumi-san should be glad that you are not a scumbag who likes to step on multiple boats, otherwise I don't know how many innocent girls will be deceived by you."

"Absolutely no worries."

Narumi Yu felt that this level of misunderstanding had to be clarified,

"I'm not a scumbag, I haven't replied to any of their love letters."

Before entering the bedroom and closing the door, Yayoi Aki glanced back at him.

I don't know if it's a ghost made by 寝子.,The trust established between the two of them living together for two weeks is gone at this moment.,

"Because they're not pretty enough?"

“……”

Click.

The girl closed the door, not giving him a chance to explain at all.
