Narumi Yu sat on the edge of the hospital bed, trying to fall asleep groggily, and went to find Imadegawa Chisaka in the white mist.

It's a pity that it failed.

He had only been awake for a short time, and he was not sleepy.

There was no movement outside the door, and a pine nut probably wouldn't come in until he left.

Faced with the inability to resist, Imadegawa Chisaka, desire gradually triumphed over reason, driving him to do something he wanted to do a long time ago.

He reached out and pinched the angel-sama's face as he had done in the morning to Shiina.

Without Shiina's face, it feels fleshy when pinched, but the skin is smoother and softer.

Maybe it's the surprise caused by the life of the eldest lady all the time, or maybe Imadegawa Chisaka is born with qualifications that are difficult for ordinary people to match in this regard.

It seems to have magical power, so he is reluctant to withdraw his hand.

Until ten minutes later.

Fang used strong self-control to force himself to let go of his hand.

'It's horrible. ，

Narumi Yu felt the loss in his heart, smoothed the corners of his mouth that involuntarily rose, and sighed secretly.

Mentally raised the danger level of Imadegawa Chisaka from lv.4 to v.5.

If you stay any longer, I am afraid that you will really fall in love with the sleeping beauty lying on the bed, as he said to a pine nut.

"It's finally good?"

A pine nut waiting in front of the door leaned against the wall opposite the door of the ward, clasped his hands on his chest, and his mouth was merciless,

"Afterwards, I would like to remind you that Miss's ward is monitored, and I hope you haven't done anything out of the ordinary."

"It's just a pinching of my future wife's face, which shouldn't be out of line."

「…… You've been in there for two hours, and that's all you do?"

"Probably."

It's 1 p.m., and it takes more than an hour to get back to Arakawa Ward from Kiyorai City by train.

Narumi didn't have anything else to do, so he wandered around the streets, found a random ramen restaurant, and got on the train back after eating.

The scorching August sun was scorching outside, but inside the train it was even more unbearably hot.

Sweat soaked through his short sleeves, making him so hot that he pulled down his neckline.

The clavicle that is clearly defined because of its thinness is exposed, which attracts a lot of attention.

Mostly female, but there are also males.

「……」

It gave him a bit of a headache.

Passengers on trams tend to be bolder than pedestrians on the streets.

Is he going to learn self-defense too?

Last summer, he spent the whole summer studying at home, except for buying vegetables and cooking, he didn't come out at all, and he only did part-time jobs during school.

It was a wise decision to come to think of it now.

Tram arrival.

With a vague sight, Narumi endured all the way.

Before that, he had only heard about girls being victimized on the train, and he didn't expect that a similar situation could happen to boys.

After a moment's thought, on the way home, I turned into a grocery store and bought a bottle of spray for Shiina Miyo.

However, he didn't seem to see the backpack in the luggage that Shiina had brought over......

He could already see the cherry tree ramp in front of the rental house in the distance, but he turned back and returned to the shopping street, picking out a messenger's bag with a panda picture for Shiina Miyo.

….

Letting Shiina defend himself is secondary.

His main purpose is to hope that Shiina Miyo can get out of his current abnormal state as soon as possible and return to a normal life.

Otherwise, when Yayoi Autumn returns to Tokyo early after the school trip, the three of them will live in this rental house together.

There's always going to be trouble...... Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle.

Squint your eyes and climb the cherry tree ramp and climb the stairs.

Narumi raised her hand and knocked on the door first.

After waiting for a minute, no footsteps could be heard.

Only then did he gently open the door.

Gently changing into slippers at the entrance, he walked into the living room with a panda messenger bag filled with spray.

A cute and petite girl was lying on her side on the sofa at this time, curled up, and fell asleep quietly.

On the round table in front of the sofa is a half-drawn pencil drawing of Shiina.

On the drawing paper is Yu Narumi's bedroom.

There are bookshelves with books loosely scattered; There is a desk that is mainly used for coding words, and there are laptops and printers.

Soft and wide, large enough to lie down on a soft bed for at least two people, on which is placed the panda pillow that I just bought for the girl a few days ago; On the floor next to the bed, lying him and Shiina Miyo himself.

Hugging each other ambiguously, he pressed his chin against the girl's head and pressed her into his arms.

I kept this position, and I didn't sleep on the soft bed, but I slept peacefully on the floor.

Narumi only looked at it from a distance, then walked into the bedroom, took out the freshly borrowed "White Night Walk" from the bookshelf, returned to the living room, sat down next to the girl, and read a book to kill time.

Stay until 4 p.m.

The girl let out a soft snort, her pretty brows furrowed slightly, and she woke up from her sleep.

He closed the book and reached out to brush the hair stuck to the girl's lips.

But I didn't expect the girl to suddenly open her mouth and bite lightly.

「……」

"Yu...... I'm hungry."

She held his outstretched arm in her arms, her eyes still closed, and she murmured weakly.

"Didn't Weiyang go to dinner at noon?"

"I'm not here, I don't want to eat."

"What then?"

"It's good that I'll always live in Yuu's house from now on."

「…… You have to pay rent." Narumi stared at the cherry pink gummies she had tasted, afraid that the girl would suddenly make another move, and his arms would be stained with hot and wet juice.

"I can sell my paintings, and when I was in junior high school, I went to art exhibitions, and many people wanted to buy my paintings. If I'm diligent, I'll be able to afford the rent."

"I'm sharing a room with Yayoi-san right now, and if Weiyang comes, there won't be any room left."

"I can sleep in a room where I can sleep with you or on the floor by myself."

Narumi Yu began to wonder if the girl really understood what he had said to Shiina before, or if she pretended to understand.

"The rent is expensive, and I'll pay you a price you can't afford."

"Weiyang is ready to buy himself for Yuu."

「……」

Why does he always feel that in the past few days of living together, Shiina Miyo's mental state has not improved, but has become more clingy?

In the afternoon when the air conditioner was frozen at a room temperature of 26 degrees, Narumi Yu, who was glued by the girl, looked around and looked for the remote control of the air conditioner.

….

I want to turn the air conditioner up to 16 degrees.

"What do you want to eat?" He asked.

"Omurice, it's simpler."

"Then let go of your hands...... I'll do it for Weiyang."

"Thank you~"

The arm that was rubbed repeatedly by the soft chest was finally liberated.

The girl in the shirt has a little loose buttons at the neckline, and the white and pink underwear inside is faintly exposed.

He didn't want to watch it at all, but he had a super good memory, so he was forced to accept it.

Shiina Weiyang opened his eyes, and when he saw him with a dodgy gaze, he burst out laughing, "It's good, no matter what I do, Yuu won't be angry with me......

"I'm doing that to everybody."

Half a truth.

Except for a girl who is still asleep.

"It's different," the girl shook her head in denial, "If it's just [everyone], Yu won't feel weak at all because of what he did, only those who care about Yu will involuntarily dodge."

"We've only known each other for over a year, why are you so sure?"

"Because Weiyang loves you, Yo."

Pure like, the girl's heartfelt smile is not miserable There is a trace of impurity.

"Can you tell me what you like about me?"

Shiina thought for a moment, and used gestures similar to outdoor framing, using the thumb and forefinger of both hands to frame Narumi Yu's entire person inside.

"I like them all."

She said.

"It's unreasonable."

"Isn't it such an unreasonable thing to like? selfish and desperate."

"Really?"

"yes." Shiina Miyo echoed softly in a tone that wanted to keep him by his side forever.

Brushing through Narumi Yu's heart, leaving no trace.

He didn't know what kind of mood he was in when he walked into the kitchen that day, and what kind of mood he had, he subconsciously drew a love heart with ketchup in the omelet rice made for the girl, and finally smoothed it with a fork......

Throughout his two decades of life, it was the first time he met a girl who was desperate because she liked him.

What's wrong with the world?

Why did the tricks that failed to work before, whether they were used on Chisaka Imadegawa or Shiina Weiyang, have no effect at all?

If he may like it, he will preemptively make the other party hate him; may like him, so take the lead and explicitly reject the other party.

He never admitted that he was a gentle person, but he was not so ruthless and did not want to be the one he hated.

One is the one who is gentle with all; On the other hand, there are those who speak ill of the meek.

Let him directly push Shiina Weiyang away without mercy......

Difficult.

Late at night, half past one in the morning.

Obviously he had to get up early at four o'clock the next day to prepare for the school trip, but Narumi Yu was not sleepy, looking at the ceiling and thinking wildly.

I suddenly felt that I kept summarizing my own faults and defining myself in this habit, and it was time to change it.

I've decided that I want to live a little easier and find something to do for myself.

Life is so short, he has already spent a life in constant reflection and self-summary, and it is really a waste to live like this this time.

….

Nearly three o'clock.

Narumi finally felt a little sleepy, and gradually couldn't open her eyes.

Shiina Weiyang, who was sleeping next to the bed, happened to fall down and fell on him lightly.

「……」

So I didn't sleep all night.

At half past five the next morning, when I gathered in the square outside Minami-Senju Station, I yawned a lot.

"What's wrong, Narumi-san?"

Natsume Hanayi, who was wearing a t-shirt and shorts and a sun hat during the holidays, looked like a college student young, and asked with concern,

"Why don't you take a break first, it's too late to book a ticket for noon now."

"No, just sleep on the train."

"Is it really possible?"

"Teacher Natsume has to believe in my physical fitness, and I can maintain myself in the top ten of my grade by working part-time for four hours a day, and now I am in the top two of my grade, and I will never be able to do it if I am not in good health."

"I can still talk to the teacher, it seems that there is no problem." Asahi Kurako's attention fell more on the hands of the two holding together.

Almost being late, Kinda Muraichi was the last to arrive.

The first thing to do was to pat Narumi on the shoulder, "Yuu! Rejoice for me! I can finally breathe fresh air outside."

Narumi Yu's center of gravity was unstable and he fell on Shiina Miyo's shoulder.

「……」

"I'm sorry." It was he who said it to Shiina Weiyang, and let go of the hands that the two were holding together.

The girl's eyes flickered, and then she replied softly, "It's okay."

"Why are you okay?" Natsume-sensei watched the two of them sing and harmonize, trying to show the teacher

On the serious side.

"Muruichi, borrow your shoulder and use it, I didn't sleep all night last night, and I was so sleepy that I couldn't open my eyes."

"I haven't slept all night, what are you? I think that back then, I stayed up all night and spent two nights in a row, and I opened up more than 70 gods of Breath of the Wilderness in one go...... Temple ......"

Under the gentle gaze of Natsume-sensei, the boy who was stuffy at home became quieter and quieter, and finally closed his mouth honestly.

"Yu...... Narumi said he was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, and if he didn't hold hands, he might hit other people or telephone poles on the way, so that's why we held hands." Shiina Miyo helped explain.

It's time for inbound.

Natsume-sensei obviously didn't believe their words, but he didn't have time to ask for the time being, so he had to wait for the train to talk.

There are three people in a row of seats, two rows facing each other, and a small table in the middle where you can put something.

Narumi Yu needs to rest, so sit by the window.

Muraichi Okita and Yu Narumi, who were locked up at home and stuffy, were in a row, and one person occupied two positions.

The girls are in a row, with Shiina Mio in the innermost, framing and drawing; Asahi Kurako is in the middle; Teacher Natsume sat on the outside, saying that it was convenient to help the students carry things.

After the train started, Natsume-sensei wanted to talk about the precautions and the goals and tasks of the school trip.

But Narumi fell asleep.

"It's okay, when I get to Naie Town in the evening, I'll just tell Yu when I rest." Omada Village, who had already taken out the ns, patted his chest and promised.

The train is running under a clear sky, and even if there is an air conditioner in the car, it is still warm against the window, and it is still warm and comfortable on Narumi Yu's body.

After Natsume Hanai finished talking about the school trip, Natsume Hanai and Asahi Kurako took out the lunchbox; Shiina Weiyang lowered his head and painted, looking up from time to time at Narumi Yu's sleeping face; Mario, who is controlled by Kinda Muraichi, eats the mushroom and goes on a rampage all the way.

As time passed, the train slowly moved through the fields, and the carriage gradually quieted down.

Shiina finished drawing the last pencil stroke, and closed his eyes in the warm sun shining through the window while holding the painting.

……

……

On the same sunny morning, Narumi Yu's mind opened his eyes clearly, and he found himself holding Shiina Weiyang in his arms, wearing only a nightdress, lying on his side on the bedroom floor of his rental house in Arakawa Ward.

The next moment, the girl in her arms also woke up, and a trace of cunning flashed in her blue and transparent eyes.

They were still on the train and once again entered the familiar world of painting.

「…… How are you going to get out of this painting?" Although he had already guessed, he still asked symbolically.

But the girl in his arms didn't respond to him, her eyes gradually blurred, and she couldn't wait to put her little pink face up.

I'm in Tokyo to save a beautiful girl with a dream.
