The ramp where the sunset shines with golden light, in front of Narumi Yu's rental house.

Bunmura Yu, who had come looking for him, stood up from the staircase steps and stared in shock at Shiina Miyo beside him.

Yu Narumi looked at the editor of Fumimura, who had only learned that he and Yayoi Aki had been living together not long ago, and thought about how to explain it.

The two of them held hands together, and the girl only had Narumi Yu in her eyes, but she just glanced at Fumimura Yu along his line of sight, and then withdrew her gaze.

"It's ......"

"There was a fire in Kohyuga-cho two days ago, and this is a homeless girl I took in, and I will go back in a few days."

Yu Narumi spoke before Shiina Miyo.

The explanation must be fast, otherwise once there is a misunderstanding, there will be only a hundred words left to argue.

“…… Yes? ”

Fumimura Yu felt incredible, and said, "Why can't this kind of good thing be my turn?" The look.

"Hello...... I'm Yuu's classmate, and my name is Shiina Weiyang. The homeless teenage girl politely bowed and introduced herself.

"Ahhh......h I'm the light editor of the Haruba Society, Yu Fumimura. ”

'Such a blunt self-introduction...... Fumimura-san, where did your talent as a light editor go? ’

Narumi Yu subconsciously evaluated, and then realized that something was wrong.

"Light?" The key information in Fumimura's self-introduction was captured by the girl, "Are you writing?" ”

"It's not me, it's Yayoi-san." Narumi Yu sent a secret message to Fumimura Yu with his eyes, and by the way, he betrayed a colleague who was far away in Naie Town, Hokkaido, without hesitation, "Yayoi-san, who is the head of the Department of Classical Literature, is actually quite a light writer. ”

"Yayoi-sensei is really powerful." His own editor gave him a reassuring confident look quite tacitly, "It's a newcomer king who has no suspense in the young world." ”

"Oh...... Sounds really impressive. ”

"But," Fumimura Yu said in a pause.

Narumi Yu felt bad in his heart.

"But?" But anything about Narumi Yu, Shiina Miyo will be more or less interested.

Yayoi Akihaya was, in a way, her enemy. Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is the only way to achieve victory, and it is necessary to know more about the enemy's intelligence.

"Narumi is also quite a light writer, and even more powerful than Yayoi-sensei in a way! This year's newcomer Wang is none other than Mr. Narumi! ”

"Really?"

"Really!"

"......" Narumi Yu faced the eyes of the two of them, and even regretted a little in his heart that he chose Fumimura Yu when he submitted the manuscript.

When, and who gave him the illusion that his own editors would have even the slightest tacit understanding with him?

"I'm here today to celebrate the big sale of Narumi-sensei's serialized works," Fumimura Yu picked up the handbag on the stairs and opened the bag to show them, "This guy's new book has already earned more than three million yen after just one volume." ”

There are two bottles of sake, two bottles of soda drinks, and some pork and beef.

"No wonder...... Yu is so powerful~" The girl raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes were shining, there was admiration and dissatisfaction, but at least nine points were happy, "Yu always wants to take a taxi every time she is with me." ”

"Don't listen to his nonsense, it's only more than a million."

There's no way to hide it, what else can Narumi say?

"And the release cycle is every three months, so compared with other part-time jobs, I don't make too much money."

He could only pray that Fumimura Yu would understand what he wanted to express as soon as possible, and there was a bit of a tacit understanding that he would not say another word.

"No, no, no!"

A teenage writer gave up thinking.

"I'm here to tell you the good news today."

He didn't want to hear any good news at all.

"The first volume of "The Demon King and the Angel" has been reprinted in 30,000 copies."

There is no particular need to spend money, which is unattractive to him due to his lack of motivation.

I was really short of money, so I went to Bird Village for two or three hours every day, and there were more than two million a month. And it's a business that never loses and makes sure you don't lose money.

However, he really should think about the house.

If you save enough money to buy a house in Tokyo before you graduate from high school, you won't have to worry about playing for four years while you're in college.

It's best to be neighbors with Yayoi Aki early.,When you don't want to cook, you go to eat.,You can also rub the books that the girl bought to read.。

"Suddenly I felt farther away from me...... It's amazing......"

In the gushing boast of Yu Fumimura, in the exclamation of Shiina Miyo.

The genius young writer walked behind his editor, holding the little hand of the girl behind him, and the three of them lined up to climb the one-man wide outdoor staircase.

Narumi opened the door and took down three pairs of slippers from the shoe cabinet.

A pair of black and white pandas, a pair of brown bears, and a pair of disposable ones.

The editor followed Narumi into the kitchen and was kicked out.

Shiina put the daily necessities such as shampoo and shower gel that the two of them had bought together in the afternoon into the bathroom, and sat on the sofa obediently watching TV.

is now twenty-eight years old, and Bunmura Yu, who is still single, can't cope with girls at all, let alone the girlfriend of the author he is responsible for.

So he stood at the door of the kitchen and begged Narumi Yu to let him stay in the kitchen for the time being.

"How do you want to eat all the pork and beef you brought?"

"I believe in Narumi-san's cooking!"

Since that day, Yayoi Aki deliberately took a selfie at the dining table and sent it to Shiina Weiyang, and inexplicably developed the habit of taking pictures before eating and sending them to a small group of four.

As a result, now both Fumimura Yu and Shinichi Kamigawa know that he is destined to become the number one chef in Tokyo.

"Let's make pork into pork chop rice, and I want to stew beef according to the Chinese method."

"Good, good!"

When the oil is hot, wrap the chopped pork chops in fried powder and put them into the pan to make a tempting sound.

At the same time, Narumi Yu is still slicing the peeled potatoes.

The law of boiling water of Hua Luogeng has been practiced to the extreme.

Only when he can strictly control the time required for each step of cooking, can he cook calmly and methodically.

The pot with the rice on the side was steaming, and the heat was turned to low in time. Then turn around and cut the peppers, and when the time is up, don't forget to remove the pork chops from the oil pan.

looked at Wen Mura You, who was standing aside, a little stunned.

"Speaking of which,"

Narumi Yu, who is doing all this, can even divide his mind to chat with him,

"Why did you suddenly come to me to celebrate? If you're drunk, there's no way I'm going to send you back. ”

"Well...... There are many reasons for this. ”

Fumimura Yu stared at the golden pork cutlet that was still bubbling on the iron net of oil filtering, and explained to him according to the idea of living in the kitchen and stealing food,

"This time it's 30,000 copies, and if you can reach this number, you can already call it a best-selling light writer, which is undoubtedly a qualitative change for "The Demon King and the Angel". And Narumi San, this is only the first volume, and the results will definitely be improved in the future. ”

"Then, Mr. Yayoi has been posting pictures in the group, and he is indeed a little greedy."

"Now Yayoi-sensei and that guy from Kamigawa have gone to Hokkaido. I came to you to celebrate that I won't be annoyed by Kamigawa's shameless villain, and I can also talk to you a little bit more about the plot and setting. ”

After calculating the time to steam the rice, Narumi opened the lid of the pot and poured the rice that had begun to smell the aroma of rice into the steaming drawer covered with a cage cloth, and spread it flat on the hot water pot.

In this way, the steamed rice will be loose and will not stick together, and the aroma and taste will be better.

"Today, just talk about the plot and setting, it's good to just celebrate."

Although Shiina is only a temporary stay, there are still a lot of things that need to be packed, and how to sleep at night is also a matter to consider.

There is no extra time left for the editor to talk about the plot.

"So...... Narumi-san, you and Yayoi-san, and now the beautiful girl who is also super cute sitting in the living room, what is the relationship? ”

"Cohabiting roommates and classmates."

"It's a lie!"

Fumimura Yu first suddenly said an anime line, and then questioned Narumi Yu,

"We're already calling each other by name! How can it be so simple? ”

Not at all convinced.

"And Yayoi-san, I already have 100 million yen in my hands, if it wasn't for some ulterior relationship with you, how could I live with you in such a place?"

"Look down on my rental?"

That's the only thing.,Narumi Yu was a little angry.,

"Aside from living on the second floor and having an outdoor staircase, there's no downside, right?"

"But if you had 100 million yen, would you choose to live here? Still living with a boy. Not to mention 100 million yen, I now earn more than 10 million yen a year, and I live in a high-end apartment building. ”

"You can't generalize between people."

There are even more unacceptable things for him, Narumi Yu didn't say - Yayoi Akiza, who has more than 100 million yen, thinks he can't afford any house in Tokyo; The house I rented before I lived with him was worse than his rental house, I don't know how many times.

When the meal was ready, Bunmura You, who couldn't wait for a long time, helped bring the meal to the table.

"Let's go!"

Pork cutlets, stewed beef, and boiled udon noodles if you don't have enough rice.

From time to time, Fumimura Yu drank two sips of sake and complained that there was no appetizer.

Shiina Weiyang buried his head in his meal, and then sandwiched a large piece of beef into Narumi Yu's bowl.

"Cheers to the big sale of "The Demon King and the Angel", and to the fact that Narumi Sang is about to become this year's light newcomer king!"

The night was completely dark, and the middle of the two street lamps was built one by one, and only the second floor was lit.

Bite~!

There was the sound of glass bottles colliding.

One bottle of sake, two bottles of soda.

……

……

"By the way, remember to go to the Spring Leaves Club tomorrow, and an illustrator took the initiative to discuss the illustration of "The Demon King and the Angel", whether it is cooperative or not, try to meet it."

At 10 o'clock in the evening, under the bright street lamp, the well-fed and well-fed editor of Fumimura still carried an unopened bottle of sake in his hand.

He didn't drink well, and in order to be able to go home safely, he ended up drinking only one bottle.

"Okay."

Sending off the editor of Fumimura, who borrowed wine to relieve stress and express his emotions, Narumi Yu stepped out of the lighting range of the street lamp, climbed the stairs, and returned to the rental house.

"That...... Can I take a look? Leisurely. ”

"I have it on the bookshelf in my room."

"Oh~"

It's just that the male protagonist in it is obviously based on him, and the female protagonist is an angel, and I don't know if she will be jealous.

He habitually went to the bathroom to turn on the water heater, only to find that Shiina Mio had already boiled the hot water, the same as when Yayoi Aki was at home.

"Yuu's edit...... I'm so happy tonight. ”

"The Demon King and the Angel" is the first book he has been responsible for in the past few years, and it is light that has achieved good results."

"Probably understood."

In Narumi Yu's bedroom, the girl who was folding her underwear nodded.

Didn't care if he was standing next to him or not.

There are three styles of underwear, all of which are pure and cute, and the fabrics are all soft skin-friendly cotton.

One of them had a cartoon panda printed on it, which made him quickly recall whether he had ever given such a thing to a girl.

"Yo, which one should I wear after I take a shower at night?"

As he was remembering, Shiina suddenly turned around, his blue eyes staring straight at him, his cheeks flushed, and he looked shy, but he tried to hold on to his gaze.

"You don't have to ask me about this kind of thing......

"We're going to sleep together, right? Of course, you have to wear what you like. The tone of course is a bit of a void in it.

"You sleep in bed, I sleep on the ground, it was like that last night, there will be no problem at all."

A ruthless teenager who broke the girl's expectations.

Narumi Yu can accept that the girl is close to him, but the relationship between him and Shiina Mio can no longer move forward......

"Why! It's all kissed...... I want to sleep with Yuu. ”

"It was in a dream."

"A scumbag is a scumbag." Narumi thought to herself.

"But the memories are real, and they can't be forgotten."

"Anyway, we haven't kissed in reality."

Speaking of which.

No matter how much Shiina deceives himself, he should understand his attitude.

"That's right......," the girl's expression darkened, "I should have understood it when I was on the train." ”

"Shiina-kuwa......"

"Call me ......"

"Weiyang."

"Yo, can you hug me?"

Shiina Miao's eyes flickered, and he opened his arms to him, longing, expecting.

Narumi took two steps closer and took the girl into his arms.

There are some things, no matter how ruthless he is, he can't let them go.

The girl will be desperate to like him, and after all, there is a reason for him.

If you see Shiina Weiyang falling down the stairs at the entrance ceremony of the first year of high school at the beginning, like other students passing by, you should not see it......

How could it be.

Even if you go back to that time and let him choose again, ten times, it will be the same result.

Otherwise, he stood by and watched, and he used to treat him coldly in the town of Ibetsu Town; What's the difference between those who greet each other with a smile on their faces now?

Although he is only getting farther and farther away from freedom.

But at least, he couldn't do this kind of self-interested behavior because of worldly ideas.

"Weiyang, how did you escape from the dream?" He asked.

"I want to you." The girl replied without hesitation.

"Yes......"

"Those memories of the past, no matter how sad they are, can't be recovered." The girl snuggled in his arms, and her soft voice, like the girl's soft body, was like a cloud, floating in this cold world.

Meet him, stay.

Then it rains and turns into a rainbow......

"If I dwell on the past any longer, I'm going to lose even Yoo."
