[At the same time as cutting off contact with Chiju Kazumi's side, Nao Asano also fell into a bottleneck in light novels. 】

[Over the years, Nao Asano has delivered the manuscript to the library at a rate of one volume a year, and after three volumes, the results of "The Nit Clan" have gradually improved, and the editor often urges Nao Asano, but Nao Asano has not been able to improve the speed of creation. 】

[It's not so much that she's writing a novel, it's that she's documenting your story with her.] After saving a year's worth of materials, she wrote a volume. 】

[In the past three years, you have encouraged her many times to write her own plot, but she can't do it. You show her the comments from readers on the forum, which are full of words of encouragement, and you hope to boost her self-confidence. Previously, Nao Asano had never browsed the internet for information on her novels. 】

[Contrary to your purpose, those positive comments made Nao Asano nervous. 】

[The more others praise the brightness of the moon, the more Nao Asano worries about how to spend the night without a moon. 】

[You choose to let go and stop interfering in this matter.] 】

[I heard that you were admitted to Mizaki University of the Arts, and my parents in my hometown were very happy, and before you started, they took the time to come to Osaki together to celebrate with you and visit your campus. 】

[You think it's time to introduce Nao Asano to your family, and you ask for her opinion.] 】

[To your surprise, Nao Asano refused this meeting. 】

Memory scenes emerge.

As April approaches, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and standing on the second floor of the Asano House, you can glimpse two rows of pink cherry blossom trees by the lake in the distance through the window of your guest room.

Nan Yuki often walks from that side. The river is not very wide, always reflecting the blue sky, and the pink cherry blossom petals fall into the river, as if floating from the ground to the air, this heavenly river is wrapped in a little pink and white, slowly flowing forward.

"How about we go to see the cherry blossoms at night?" Nan Yuki looked at Nao Asano in her arms.

He lay on the chaise longue by the window, the sun warming his body. Nao Asano was cleaning the room, and he grabbed his waist and pulled him into his arms.

Nao Asano relaxed her body and pressed her whole body weight on the boy's body. Before, she was always worried about whether this would crush the teenager under her, but now she has completely dispelled this worry.

She thought about being a child. The rocking chair under Nan Yuki is her father's favorite piece of furniture, and her mother always lies on her father's body like her.

When she was a child, she would add another layer to the rocking chair and sit in her mother's arms.

Her arms on her abdomen were raised, imagining herself holding a little girl of four or five years old.

Hearing Minami Yuki's voice, she woke up from her memories, raised her head, and looked at the edges and corners of the young man's chin with confused eyes.

"What bad thing is my sister thinking, so absent-minded?" Minami Yuki tapped her head with her chin.

"Nope." Nao Asano's words are not confident. She did think about the child for a moment.

"Not right now, I'm going to class soon."

"I didn't say that!"

Nao Asano puffed out her face, reached out and pinched Minami Yuki's cheek, and gently pulled it twice.

Seeing that she was ashamed and annoyed, and couldn't bear to be cruel to herself, Nan Yuxi was in a happy mood.

When Nao Asano let go of his hand, he said, "I asked if I wanted to see the cherry blossoms at night." ”

"Hmm, would you like to bring a picnic mat and a bento?" Nao Asano intends to turn a walk into a picnic.

"If my sister doesn't bother."

Hearing Minami Yuki's affirmative answer, Nao Asano smiled with joy.

"Does my sister like cherry blossoms?" Minami Yuki asked.

Nao Asano shook her head. She is not a person with leisure and leisure, and flowers, grass, fish and birds cannot arouse her interest.

"Then why are you so happy?" Minami Yuki asked.

Nao Asano rolled over, lay on his chest, and put her palms between the boy's back and the surface of the chair, hugging him.

"I don't like cherry blossoms, but I like Yuki," she said. ”

Nan Yuxi was stunned for a moment, and stroked her hair with a smile: "I like my sister too." ”

"Hmm." Nao Asano responded cheerfully.

"By the way," Nan Yuki decided, "Sister would like to meet my family?" When I went to school, my parents and sister would come over. ”

He felt the woman on his chest tense.

"With my sister's appearance, she must be very liked by my parents, my sister is a child who is awkward, and it may not be very friendly when we first meet, as long as you praise her, she will be red and red-faced, at your mercy."

Minami Yuki thought that Nao Asano was worried that he would not be recognized by his family after meeting, and hurriedly reassured her. He didn't lie, with Asano Nao's current state, if he only met a few times a year, he could get through the test.

Nao Asano pressed her face against Minami Yuki's left chest, and she didn't answer for a long time.

Outside the window, a thick, expansive cloud drifted in from the east, obscuring the sun and casting a thin shadow on the street.

"I'm still missing." Nao Asano's voice was dull.

"Why?" Minami Yuki was stunned.

He hesitated for several days about whether to arrange for his parents to meet with Nao Asano, he thought that the question was only whether Nao Asano could withstand this pressure, and he never thought that Nao Asano would refuse.

"I don't think it's good to meet now, I'm sorry." Nao Asano's answer was vague.

"It's okay, then I'll tell them when we decide to get married." Nan Yuki stroked Nao Asano's hair, fingers running over her neck, hooking her chin, and kissing her rosy lips.

[You don't understand the reason for Nao Asano's refusal, she doesn't seem to want to explain, you didn't ask.] 】

[At night, you sat under the cherry blossom tree and ate supper, and guilt made Nao Asano try to please you, and at night, she was at your mercy. 】

[The day before entering school, Nao Asano stayed at home, and you borrowed an apartment from a friend at a private school, disguised it as your own residence, entertained your parents and sister who arrived, and spent a day with them on a shopping tour in Mizaki. The next day, they visited your school in the morning and got on the train at noon. 】

[Before leaving, your mother pulled you and told you that you should hurry up to find a girlfriend in college, but it will be difficult to find it when you graduate, and you think about Nao Asano in your heart, so that she doesn't have to worry. 】

[College life hasn't changed much for you. 】

[Misaki University of the Arts is a half-hour commute from Asanoya, so the time spent on the road has increased, but the classes have decreased. 】

[Familiar with the courses of instrumental music, you often go to the vocal music department and composition department to audit, and you gradually show your talent in music. 】

[In your freshman year, you joined the school's symphony orchestra to prepare for the competition in a year's time. In order to practice, you spend less time with Nao Asano. 】

[One night, you and Nao Asano walked to a convenience store and met classmates from the orchestra.] 】

[Classmates talk to you warmly, they admire your skills, and they speak respectfully.] You introduced Nao Asano, and they greeted her politely, and Nao Asano responded to them just as politely. 】

[An ordinary meeting, but it became an opportunity for Nao Asano to make up her mind. 】
