"Be careful." Minami Yuki reached out and grabbed the juice that was knocked down by Yuko Ibuki's arm.

It's Friday afternoon, and he, Yuko Ibuki, Mitsuki Aagiri, Ai Komori, and Kazumi Senju are in a private room at the karaoke together.

With the hint of the Sims, Yuki Minami changed the future where Yuko Ibuki was spilled with juice.

"Thank you." Yuko Ibuki looked at the young man who was suddenly approaching, and the dappled light and shadow from the neon lights in the private room reflected on the young man's cheeks, making her dizzy.

"It's so dangerous," Mitsuki Asagiri was a little scared, and she pushed the cup in front of her deeper into the table, "Even though it's Friday, it's going to be a hassle if your uniform gets wet." ”

"Senior handsome!" Ai Komori gave a thumbs up.

"Huh? Well! "Chiju Kazumi responded slowly.

She is not very good at facing this kind of current scene, and the combination of Ai Komori and Mitsuki Asagiri's hot girls makes her even more at a loss, and she looks at Yuko Ibuki, who is very close to Nan Yuki, and envy in her heart.

"A HERO, for seniors." Mitsuki Asagiri picked up the microphone, and her singing voice came out through the speaker on the wall of the private room, and the singing was beautiful, with a bright sense of liveliness and cheerfulness.

She held the microphone in both hands, a pair of bright eyes stared at the lyrics on the display, Nan Yuki looked at her lips against the microphone, in the dim light of the private room, the girl's white teeth loomed.

He thought of the plot in the Sims, is the girl who is singing now really as lively and cheerful as it seems on the surface?

His gaze was only for a moment, but it didn't escape Chiju Kazumi and Yuko Ibuki's observation of him.

At the end of the ninety-minute package, they put on their school bags and walked out of the karaoke together, entered the subway entrance, and separated in the lobby.

Mitsuki Asagiri and Kazumi Chiju have one route, and Yuki Minami, Yuko Ibuki, and Ai Komori have one route.

There were no more passengers on the subway, and Yuki Minami quickly took up a seat and gave way to Yuko Ibuki and Ai Komori.

He held the armrest and stood beside Ai Komori.

"Are Ibuki-senpai and Minami-senpai a couple?" Komori thought of her friend and decided to help her ask.

Minami Yuki wanted to answer directly that it was not, but he caught a glimpse of Ibuki Yuko's head turned a little and changed the wording: "For now, it's not. ”

"In other words, Mitsuki still has a chance?"

"That depends on Mitsuki's thoughts."

"Ah, you actually called Mitsuki after me, cunning!" Ai Komori laughed, "In the face of seniors, even Mitsuki can't have no ideas!" ”

Nan Yuki thought to herself, not only does Mitsuki Asagiri have no ideas now, but even after having fun with him, she still has no ideas. It seems that this Komori Ai doesn't know Mitsuki Asagiri very well.

He changed the subject: "Does Komori know what happened before Asagiri?" ”

"What was the case before?" Ai Komori narrowed her eyes, "Love investigation? Although I didn't know Mitsuki very well when I was in junior high school, I've never heard of Mitsuki falling in love! How is it, are the seniors excited? ”

"Maybe a little."

"It's really an ambiguous answer.,The answer to Ibuki Senpai just now is also.,What does Senpai think?"

Ai Komori looked at Yuko Ibuki, and she stared into Yuko Ibuki's eyes, trying to read the girl's thoughts.

She failed, and those eyes were unwavering, and nothing could be seen.

After five stops, Ai Komori changed to another subway line, and in another ten minutes, the subway entered Tsukimisato Station.

Yuko Ibuki walked behind Minami Yuki, she looked around, the billboard she saw yesterday was still hanging in place today, nothing had changed.

Her plan to exchange Mitsuki's information for the boy's favor seems to have ended in failure, and the boy just took her with him, and there was no extra closeness.

Not only did she not get special treatment from the teenager, but she brought herself a tricky enemy.

These days, after knowing that she does not have the preference of teenagers, the courage and passion in her heart have begun to crumble.

The motivation for her actions comes from the belief that the teenager loves her and that she is loved by the teenager. Love is the sea, her courage, intelligence and passion are the hull, rudder and sail of the ship, and the meaning of the existence of this ship is to gallop on the sea of love.

Now, she found that the sea did not exist, and that the ripples on the surface of the water that she had seen in the past were only the shadows of clouds drifting by, and the sun falling on the dry land.

Although she could use her persistence to pull the hull forward on the dry riverbed, her persistence was due to her belief that the sea was churning ahead, and her persistence was due to the sound of the tide in her ears.

She can hold on because she has created a false sea for herself with her imagination, and if it cannot be filled by the real sea water for a long time, this false sea will also evaporate and dry up under the scorching sun of reality.

Walking out of the subway entrance, the sun falling towards the horizon was obscured by the tall building next to her, and a huge shadow split her face, covering her body, standing in the shadow, everything was lowered by a brightness.

Across the street, the tall building went far behind her, but the shadow followed Ibuki Yuko, lingering, she looked at the back of the boy in front of her, the sun shining on the back of the boy's uniform, reflecting a twilight.

The boy's shoulders are like mountain peaks, and the sunset is rapidly falling behind the solid peaks, and the world is about to fall into darkness, and the shadows of the mountains will disappear in the night.

She stretched out her hand, trying to sweep away the twilight from the peak, rubbing her strong shoulder.

The palm of her hand stopped, and she was afraid that she would leap over the mountain, and what she saw was still dry.

Distracted, she didn't notice the boy stopping, and her palm hit the boy's waist.

Nan Yuki grabbed her hand and turned her head to look at her: "What does Senior Sister want to do?" Sneak a tickle from behind? So naïve! ”

Yuko Ibuki didn't hear what the boy was saying, and her attention was on the palm of the boy holding her.

Nan Yuxi's hands are as warm and powerful as in her dreams, and the palms of the young man's hands and dark eyes contain the abundant sea of love she longs for.

"Speaking of which, Sister Yuko's grades are very good, right?" Minami Yuki took another step and took her hand forward.

"Hmm." Yuko Ibuki's heart beats violently, and she feels like she really hears the sound of the tide of love.

"Can you teach me to learn? It's set for every night. ”

"Hmm."

Ibuki Yuko stared at the boy's shoulder, the arc-like curve, swaying with the boy's footsteps, up and down, back and forth, as if turning into the ripples of the sea, in the ripples, there was a clear tide.

"I'm too tired today, let's start tomorrow."

"Hmm."

"Remember to prepare a gift, I want a paper crane."

"Huh?" Yuko Ibuki doesn't think something is right, in general, shouldn't it be Yuki Minami who prepares the gift?

"Even if it's an informal teacher-student, you have to exchange gifts. What does Senpai like? ”

It turned out to be an exchange of gifts. Is there such a custom, though?

Yuko Ibuki buried her doubts in her heart, she thought about it and said, "It's okay." ”

It's just the word gift that already makes her extremely happy.

"Is anything okay?" Nan Yuxi looked at her in surprise, "If Senior Sister doesn't bring it up, I'll just send it away." ”

"Little kids."

"Uh-huh?!!!"

"There are a few kids over there."

"Scared me, I thought my senior sister wanted children."

"It's not impossible."

"I don't think so!"

"Stingy."

"Pull your face!"

"Then I want your usual stuff."

"Well, let me go back and look for it. Anyway, why do I use things that I usually use? ”

"Head down."

“…… Is this a joke? ”

"Probably."

"Excuse me, be firm!"

Yuko Ibuki walked beside Yuki Minami, and the boy let go of her palm, and she regained her confidence after a brief loss.

For, the tide poured out from the other side of the mountain, and the dry earth was covered with turquoise waters, and her ship was once again adrift on the sea of love, and as long as it sailed on the sea, she was confident to cross all storms and reefs.

At the last fork in the road to the apartment, Yuki Minami turned to the alley of the Asano family, and he waved goodbye to Yuko Ibuki.

Yuko Ibuki returned home, took out the paper she had leftover, folded the paper crane again, and in her mind, the scene on the way home was replayed over and over again, and her eyes flashed with ripples of seawater.

When it got dark, Honoka Ibuki returned home and went straight to the dining table, where there was nothing on the table.

She opened the bedroom door and carefully looked at her daughter sitting at the desk, making sure that she didn't have a dart in her hand and that her expression was not fierce, and she was relieved.

"Hey, where's my dinner!" She exclaimed.

"Do it yourself."

"Huh? If I do it myself, what else do I want you to do! What are you folding? Hurry up and cook for me! Did you hear that? ”

Yuko Ibuki put down the paper crane in her hand and glanced at the amount in the paper bag next to her, and it should be enough to fold some more at night.

Pulling money from the drawer, she opened the door and headed to a nearby supermarket.

She is responsible for the routine of three meals, she does not have resentment, she prepares dinner according to the usual combination, and asks Honoka to come out to eat.

After eating, Honoka went to the bedroom to rest, she cleaned up the table and cleaned the dishes and chopsticks.

While she was wiping the water stains off the plate, Honoka Ibuki went out with her bag.

Finally putting the dishes in the cupboard, she returned to the bedroom to find that her crane, along with the carton where she had placed it, had disappeared.

She stood at the empty desk for a moment, tapping on the remaining papers, which were not enough.

With the money, she went to the supermarket.

Until late at night, Honoka Ibuki didn't come back, so Yuko Ibuki folded the crane, put it in a schoolbag that Honoka doesn't usually rummage through, and slept on her folding bed.

Early in the morning, she was awakened by the sound of Honoka Ibuki entering the door.

Honoka was sleepy, she walked straight to her daughter's bedside and tapped Yuko's head with her finger: "What a broken paper crane, Ah Ren doesn't like it at all!" ”

Yuko Ibuki stepped back a little and asked, "Not breaking up?" ”

A few days ago, she took a photo of a man named Ah Ren cheating on her and passed it to her mother in an anonymous mailbox, and her mother borrowed alcohol to kill her sorrows for several days, saying that she wanted to break up.

"What a breakup, that's just a misunderstanding, Ah Ren has already broken off the relationship with that woman!"

“…… Yesterday, a man who my mother should like asked me about my mother. ”

"What's the matter with me, I have Ah Ren now."

Looking at her mother who climbed into the bed, Yuko Ibuki frowned.

Honoka is a projection of the storm of her sea of love in reality, and she must calm the storm in order to float peacefully on the sea. Honoka must break up with Aren and then marry Yohei Nakajima.

If it was Yuki, what would she do now? She thought about it for a moment and had an idea.

Breaking off the relationship with that woman or something, if the man coaxed his mother, they must still have a relationship.

At this time, what would happen if she sent the cheating photos she had taken earlier to the woman's husband?

Sorry for the lateness, I filled out a form of several thousand words during the day, and it took me a long time to fill in, so I couldn't code the words. There's another chapter on what the two points look like.
