"Look, that's our home."

Aya pointed to the house in the distance.

"There are too many bugs."

Dome grumbled.

Buzzing non-stop, very annoying sound.

Enter the cabin.

No one has lived here for a long time, and there is a layer of dust on the floor and table.

"Leave it to me."

Aya puts the ingredients she bought in the refrigerator.

"No internet?"

"I can't live like this."

Dome pulled out his phone and said dissatisfied.

"It'll be done soon."

Ayaraku said as she picked up a gift bag and headed outside.

"Where are you going?"

"Go say hi to your neighbors."

Next door.

There was a knock on the door, and a middle-aged woman appeared.

"Thank you for taking the trouble out of your mind, the matter of your parents must have made you very hard,"

"Does it matter what the cost of living is? Will the two of you be able to get by? ”

Auntie said with concern.

"The apartment in the city has been sold, and the transfer process has been completed for the time being."

"If you have any difficulties, just say it, I have been taken care of by your family a lot."

"Well, excuse me."

Just as Aya was chatting with her neighbor's aunt, someone walked over.

A girl in a high school uniform with black-rimmed glasses and cute short hair.

"Huh?"

"Aya-chan? You're back? ”

Ien Nao looked at him in surprise.

"Long time no see."

The boy waved his hand.

Nao, for him, is also a special girl, and when he sees some of her memories, he automatically remembers it.

"Then, Auntie, I'll take my leave first."

"Well, please take care of me in the future."

"Please take care of me."

......

Following.

Aya prepares breakfast for Dome and goes to school on her own.

Although her health has been much better recently, she still doesn't want to go to that kind of place. It's so lively.

School.

A classroom.

A special transfer student came today.

"Say hi to everyone."

The teacher smiled and beckoned Aya to stand on the podium and introduce herself.

This young man is white and pure.,It's the type that looks easy to give people a good impression.。

Yes. It must be some kind of rich kid.

Coming to the countryside is definitely to experience life.

That's probably the impression.

"Hello everyone, I'm Aya Kasuga, please take care of me in the future."

The boy spoke briefly.

And then.

And then there was no then. I looked at the teacher with innocent eyes, indicating that my self-introduction was complete.

"Hey, it's too perfunctory."

The male teacher couldn't help but complain.

"Anyway, anyway,"

"Kuranaga,"

The male teacher looked at the back of the class and called.

"In!"

A high school girl stood up.

"That guy is the squad leader, just look for her if you have any questions."

The teacher said.

"Hello, children's shoes."

Aya smiled in a friendly manner and waved her hand.

What a coincidence, it was the girl on a bicycle I met at the school gate yesterday and almost hit it.

"Hello!"

"Please close it in the future...... Bang! ”

Kuraga responded nervously.

Bent over too much, his forehead hit the table and made a noise.

Is it a girl with this kind of personality? It's like a clean blank sheet of paper or something.

"It's really ......"

Nagisa Kazuha was also stunned.

Thinking back to yesterday's chat in the car, her lovely maid Hatsuka Nogizaka said this:

That boy was super cute.

Due to the high speed of the car, she didn't have time to look closely.

Now that I see the boy himself, the handsomeness and cuteness make the girl feel amazing and envious.

Aya walked over to the empty seat in the classroom and sat down.

In the last row by the window on the right.

"Whoa—"

"Aya, I-I-is-Ying-oh!"

The high school student's uniform, Meei, plucked up the courage to say hello.

As he spoke, he made exaggerated movements.

Spun his body in place, leaned forward with his arms outstretched, gestured like a pistol with his hands, and raised his left foot behind him......

Although he was laughing, he was clearly nervous and expectant.

How to describe it?

It's like swimming in the air in an eerie position.

"Oh,"

"Hello children's shoes."

Aya put her bag in a drawer and nodded slightly.

"That's the reaction?"

Ying stood up straight, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and pouted unwillingly.

"This reaction is normal."

The male teacher complained.

"Hahaha."

The classmates in the classroom laughed too.

"Ah, is that so?"

Ying scratched her head embarrassedly.

She's a shrine maiden.

It's a very special identity, and life is very lonely. But she was always smiling and looked dumbfounded.

......

The other side.

at home.

There was only one dome in the quiet house.

Since there is no internet, I can only find something to polish my boring time.

A thick photo album was found in the bookshelf in the room.

There are photos of mom and dad with siblings together, as well as cute photos of the two children when they were young.

The girl sat on a chair and looked at it.

Ernie sauce is really very special. is an absolutely strange person.

I think I can remember things clearly when I was about three years old.

Ernie sauce is obviously a child, but he has no interest in toys or anything, although he also likes to play games with her, but it's not that he likes games, but he likes to accompany his sister.

It's okay to be five years old. Fifteen years old is fine. It's good now, too.

Aya's eyes didn't seem to change.

There was joy and sorrow, but something incomprehensible never changed in the depths of his eyes.

A salted fish?

I remember that my father seemed to have asked Aya what her dream was. He said he wanted to make salted fish.

So what is salted fish?

It's really a hard thing to explain. It's not so much that Ernie sauce wants to be a salted fish, but rather that Ernie sauce is a standard salted fish.

He didn't want to be a salted fish, he was already a salted fish......

I turned to a new page of the album.

I guess I was about five years old.

The firmament's eyes grew hazy.

"Aya?"

"Aya?"

The five-year-old girl ran around the room barefoot, her beautiful double ponytails fluttering along with the run.

Because it is summer, everyone comes to the countryside for a summer vacation.

"Aya,"

"Come out, where are you? I hate it, what are you doing?"

"Do you want to play hide and seek?"

Dome searched all the rooms.

My brother was joking with her again, and he deliberately didn't come out.

"Here you are."

A hand suddenly rested on the dome's shoulder.

It turned out that he was hiding behind the curtains, no wonder there was no one in the room.

"Babble!"

Frightened, Dome subconsciously stepped back.

After hitting the shelf, the sound of the glass jar shaking was immediately heard.

Ah, if you want to be hit on the head, it will definitely hurt.

Just as he was thinking like that, Ernie Sauce picked up the jar just in time.

"I'm sorry,"

"Hide and seek seems to have been played."

Aya put the jar back and smiled softly.

Gentle.

Is he a gentle man? At least for the dome is gentle. That's what she thinks, too.

"The look of blushing is also very cute,"

"Little Dome."

Aya kissed her forehead gently.

"Ni-chan ......"

Dome covered his face with a photo album, and a low murmur evoked memories of the past.
