"Hi hi...... Two single rooms, thank you. ”

"Huh? Xiaoyu? You're back?! ”

The innkeeper was the mother-in-law who had taken care of him when he was still in town, and when he saw him again, his face was full of joy.

She asked Narumi Yu and Yayoi Aki to wait for a while, and she quickly ran into the room inside, and called out the girl who was watching TV inside.

"Look! Your little brother is back! ”

"Brother Yuu!" A girl of seven or eight years old, wearing a well-behaved double ponytail, is still wearing the school uniform of the town's primary school that her mother-in-law sewed for her.

When he saw Narumi Yu, he smiled heartily.

"And ...... Big sister, so beautiful, is it the wife that Brother Yu married in Tokyo? ”

The girl's gaze shifted from Narumi Yu to Yayoi Akiha's body next to her, and her clean tan eyes flashed with curiosity,

"Are you coming back for a wedding in town?"

"......" Yayoi Autumn didn't know how to deal with it, and subconsciously glanced at Narumi Yu.

'Leave it to me! ’

Narumi smiled back to reassure the girl.

He squatted down in front of the girl and touched her head,

"No, you can't get married until you're eighteen years old."

"However, Sister Qingya is already married, and in the spring of this year, Sister Qingya in a white dress is very beautiful."

Qingya, the daughter of the owner of a department store in the town, is three months older than him, and dropped out of school to work after junior high school.

"The girl is sixteen years old, the boy is eighteen years old, Xiaoyou is only seventeen years old now, and there is still a year to get married." The innkeeper helped him speak.

"Okay...... Then, when Brother Yu gets married, he must go back to the town to hold a wedding! Otherwise, I won't be able to eat anything good. ”

“……”

“……”

Yu Narumi thinks the girl is cute.

The innkeeper couldn't laugh or cry.

Yayoi Akizao twisted his face to the side and covered his mouth with his hand, not knowing if he was laughing.

After greeting the innkeeper and the little girl, the two got their door keys as they wished.

"Why only one?"

"Anla~ You'll know when you go." The innkeeper escorted them through the corridor, and said as she walked, "And, tonight, there are only two guests in the hotel~ It's okay to bathe in the hot springs~"

"Hot springs? I remember when I left, there wasn't one here, right? ”

"It was built in the summer after you left."

"Yayoi-san? Want to come? ”

"Don't." The girl refused.

"It's a pity." Narumi sighed.

"Don't worry, even if other guests come, I'll help you out! Love boldly with confidence! ”

“……”

This time, not only Yayoi Autumn Morning, but even Narumi Yu didn't speak.

The proprietress took them to the door of the Japanese-style room on the west side of the inn and opened the door, which was quite a large room.

There is a partition formed by a bamboo paper sliding door in the middle, which is pushed to one side at this time, and the two sides are connected together.

"You can choose to sleep together or separately, and besides, this room is in the middle of nowhere, so as long as it's not too intense, no one will hear you."

As the proprietress of the past.,Quite enthusiastically teach Narumi Yu experience.,

"You're all in school now, be sure to take care of contraception, and if you need it, I have medicine there......"

"Mother-in-law, you misunderstood...... "Yayoi Akihaya really couldn't stand it, and her red little face seemed to be steaming, and she defended herself, "We're not ......"

"Oh~~!

The proprietress was surprised at first, and then smiled meaningfully, "It seems that our family is too talkative." ”

"Yes, yes, they have already followed Xiao You to the town, how can they not have experience in that area...... Okay, okay, let's not bother you anymore, have a good rest~"

Card.

The proprietress left and closed the door.

Leaving Narumi Yu and Yayoi Aki to live quietly together in this Japanese room.

The flush on the girl's face gradually subsided, and she returned to her usual calm and cold look, but her chest was still slightly undulating.

The bamboo paper partition was pulled apart, dividing the Japanese room into two, and Yayoi Aki slept early in the middle and he slept outside.

"If you want to soak in the hot springs, who will go first?"

Narumi Yu wasn't sure if Yayoi Akihaya was angry, and asked tentatively.

“……”

There was no response from the partition, but there was a rustling noise.

A few minutes later, the girl was wearing her pajamas, pulled open the partition, and walked straight out of the room.

So he also stood up and followed Yayoi Akizao.

Click, click......

"What are you doing?" Yayoi Aki stopped vigilantly in the morning.

"Go to the convenience store and buy some food, what do Yayoi-san want to eat?"

“…… Anything goes. ”

"Order."

The wind at night in Ibetsu is cleaner than the wind on the banks of the Sumida River.

When Yu Narumi said this sentence in his heart, he carried the personal prejudice of the townspeople against the city of Tokyo.

Breathing in the familiar sea breeze, he only felt comfortable.

In a coastal town, fresh air may be one of the few advantages.

At the convenience store in town, there are only two or three types of bento.

Narumi took two boxes of sushi and picked out some oden, packed them and returned to the hotel.

Sitting in the rest area outside the hot spring cover, while eating balls, he studied the pool table that was also only available after he left the town.

The people of Imaibetsu Town...... Does anyone really play billiards?

At least he knows almost nothing about billiards, and he is still in the stage of billiards games on the computer.

You just know that you have to use the white ball to hit all the balls of the same suit into the hole, and finally hit the black ball again, and you win.

After a brief search of the rules on his mobile phone and the finish of his box of sushi, he set up the ball and began to entertain himself.

"Narumi San...... What are you doing? ”

After he had already finished a game with himself, Yayoi Akizao, who was still wearing pajamas, walked out of the curtain.

“…… What about bath towels? The lustful male high school student was distressed, "Why was Yayoi-san already dressed in his pajamas when he came out of it!" ”

"I rested in the locker room for a while, and I came out after I got dressed." Yayoi Aki had already walked to the billiard table, "This ...... How to play? ”

"If you shoot all the balls of the same color into the hole with a white ball, you win, do you want to play a game?"

“…… When Narumi finishes bathing, I'll eat something first. ”

"Good!"

In the end, no one thought that when there was only a pair of teenagers and girls in the entire hotel, the two would play billiards in the hot spring rest area until the second half of the night.

Record: 5-5

“…… After this game, let's go to sleep, if we don't sleep, it's going to be dawn. ”

"Didn't Narumi say that he would sleep after winning me?"

At first, it was a one-game winner, then it became a best-of-three game, then a best-of-five game, and a best-of-seven game......

"I'm going to win this game!"

The confidence comes from the system prompt when the billiards skill is upgraded to level 2.

[Billiards Lv.2]

Narumi Yu even felt that the billiard cue in his hand was like the spatula in his hand when cooking, and it had reached a state of unity between people and rods.

"Hah!"

A beautiful kick-off kick spreads all the colored balls on the table.

"Watch me clear the stage with one shot!"

Male high school students who don't admit defeat are rarely enthusiastic.

In the end, they achieved a good result of 5 wins and 6 defeats.

"Damn! Yayoi-san, have you played it before? I was deliberately tricked to act like a beginner! ”

"I'm not as boring as you think."

At this moment, the nature of the system that does not allow people to accelerate progress is once again revealed.

Narumi Yu, who has always relied only on himself, doesn't hate the uselessness of the system.,I'm reflecting on myself who was careless because of the system's prompts.。

Yayoi Akiha, who almost forgot to fight him, is not an ordinary person.

"Ha~~" Back in the Japanese room, Narumi couldn't help yawning and fell on the bed that had been made, "Good night, Yayoi-san." ”

“……”

Yayoi Autumn beat his spirits in the morning, pulled the partition up in a daze, and whispered,

"Hmm...... Good night. ”

……

……

Squeak –

Paper windows let in soft sunlight, bringing in sultry heat and the chirping of cicadas.

Narumi woke up patting her head, only to feel weak.

Changing into the short-sleeved shorts he had taken out of his suitcase before the shower last night, he carefully opened a gap and peeked inside.

Yayoi Autumn was still asleep, and unlike him, who slept upside down, the girl's thin quilt was well covered on her body.

“……”

He gently pulled the partition open, arranged his futon, sat cross-legged on the tatami mat, and casually opened a page of "Sakura Village" in his hand, staring at the girl's sleeping face to pass the time.

“…… Well. ”

Yayoi Aki finally woke up.

The boy who wasn't reading at all spoke out at the first time,

"Yayoi-san."

“…… Well? ”

"I like you."

"Hmmm......"

The girl nodded in response, her attitude quite perfunctory.

Then he stood up and pulled the partition between the two of them back.

After changing into the dress he wore on the train, he simply combed his long silky black hair before reopening the partition.

Check out and walk out of the hotel together in the ambiguous sight of the hostess.

Narumi walked down the street, and came to his house with Yayoi Autumn in a familiar way.

The small courtyard in front of the court was overgrown with weeds, some of which even climbed the outer wall of the house.

It's been a long time since anyone took care of it.

Narumi ran to the side through the weeds and took out the key under a hidden stone.

I went back to the front and opened the door.

The inside of the house is fairly clean.

Because his parents passed away early, he has always been the only one in the house, and the things that are not used and have no commemorative significance have been disposed of, except for some dust, neat and empty.

"This is the living room, and the kitchen and dining room are separated."

"This is my parents' old room, and I still have most of their stuff ......"

"This is my room, and the contents have been emptied."

Both of them walked into the room and closed the door from the inside, and behind the wooden door of Narumi Yu's original bedroom, there was a grand goal neatly written by a marker-

“…… Become a mainland tour guide for tourists from island countries? ”

Yayoi Aki read out the line written with a marker pen and asked suspiciously,

"What is this?"

“…… A dream I had when I was a kid. ”

"Narumi wants to go to the mainland?"

"Hmm."

"Because you like pandas?"

"I love everything there."

"Oh......"

I don't know what kind of mood Narumi Yu is in, and in a calm tone with a bit of nostalgia, he introduces the various rooms in the house to Yayoi Autumn Morning.

In the end, he cleaned the house, trimmed the courtyard, and reorganized Narumi's house.

Even though he won't come back to live,

The matter of cleaning the house itself must also have its existential significance.

"Well, uncle, they would be happy if they saw a clean and tidy home."

Yayoi Akizao also agreed with his idea and accompanied him out of the town and ran to the cemetery in the mountains and forests.

Narumi Yu also carried a bottle of sake in his hand, which was the kind that Narumi's father liked to drink most when he was alive.

The owner of the department store knew Narumi Yu and knew that he was there to sweep the grave, so he sold it to him.

[Resumes after 10 minutes.] ]

He gently pulled the partition open, arranged his futon, sat cross-legged on the tatami mat, and casually opened a page of "Sakura Village" in his hand, staring at the girl's sleeping face to pass the time.

“…… Well. ”

Yayoi Aki finally woke up.
